Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now let's get to Rich Lowry, editor in chief of
the National Review. I loved your article, and I'm sure
you've written a couple about the cover up in the
White House. Rich, I know they're talking about hearings, but
I hope these hearings are serious, because this, Rich, I
think you agree, is a major scandal.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah. I think it's one of the worst fraud. That's
not the worst fraud that's been attempted upon the American
public in the modern era. And it's good that the
truth now can be told. At least we're learning much more.
But it's only because now Biden is inconvenient to them
as long as he is useful. They're maintaining that we're
all making it up, and he was fine, he could
serve another eight years, which is completely caposterous, and the
(00:48):
public recognized it as such.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You know what's amazing. All of these people and if
there's a cover up, you know who the people are
that would have been involved in that, who were in
there the most, including the chief of staff, they're all gone.
They've disappeared. Normally after somebody leaves office, you see them
on TV all the time. You haven't seen anybody, including KJP.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, yeah, and now now Tapper in his book claims
that the press staff was kind of out of the loop.
But still, how in the loop do you need to
be like, we weren't in the loop. We were like
you know, in Pluto in terms of the loop, and
we knew right right exactly. She was watching them every day,
and she said that she had trouble keeping up with them.
(01:32):
She's extremely that she runs like four or five miles
a day and she's half his age, and really she
had trouble keeping up with them. It was just insane
lies form start to finish.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, and it was constant, and it was dangerous. You know,
this isn't this isn't funny. And so many people like
to make fun of them and call them the zombie
and chief and all of that. But this is really dangerous.
This is a national security issue. And I'm shocked that
it's taken so long to have hearings on this. I
know there's other things going on, but you know, some
(02:06):
people like James Comber, then they can walk and chew
gum at the same time. These should have already started.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, it's terrible and a sense against the public. In
a couple of different ways. One they're deceiving the public
about the choice they wanted them to make for president.
And two, you elect a president of the United States
is the American public. You don't elect some secretive committee
to act as president the United States. And a time
went on, that's more and more what we would have had,
(02:36):
and certainly what we would have had in Biden's second
term got forbidded.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, and that's exactly why there needs to be hearings,
because there needs to be accountability. People at least have
to be shamed, if not charged, so that future presidents
Because if this can happen now, you know, just get
some puppet that you're going to run and have some
other people running the government. That's not the way this
country is supposed to work. And if we don't say
(03:02):
no to it now, it could happen again.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah. I mean there's some comfort in that it didn't work. Right,
the large majorities of the public that he wasn't suited
to run to be president for a second term. Majorities
towards the end thought he was going to die in office,
so they didn't get away with us. So I think
the incentives are to not attempt this again. But the
sad truth is usually high level politics. They don't tell
(03:28):
you the truth about the prime minister or the president's health.
And we've seen it again and again in this country.
Wood Wilson FDR in nineteen forty four. JFK was desperately ill,
despite the image of youthful vigor and now Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But all the people you mentioned that wasn't mental incapabilities.
You know, they were physical and that you're right, they
were all hidden. But that's a lot different.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, JFK reading three books to day, Yeah, that's true.
And FDR was going to die and they did keep
that from the public, So that was that was not
good in nineteen forty four. But even the statesman in
American history, and no one's ever going to say that, Agaylike.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
There's another part of this story, and that's the media
and the hypocrisy of Jake Tapper of being out in
front of this right now. Somebody had a great line
the other day that I hadn't thought of. He said,
you know, we all knew, everybody in the country knew
what was going on. And that's what it's why it's
so bad to cover what was so bad. It's a
horrible cover up because they had to put him out there.
(04:31):
But they said they needed one thing from Jake Tapper's book,
just one thing, and it was the one thing he
didn't provide. The names.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, and look, he wasn't the worst offender, but but
he poured scorn on the idea that that Biden wasn't
fit to run again, and people on his network were
terrible and gave previce the idea of the cheap fake
Dana bash. When that Samos video came out of Biden
freezing up, your fundraiser said the sorted, I think distorted
(05:07):
about it at all, and he didn't recognize George Plenty
and it went.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
She went one, Hey, Rich, Rich, we just have a
horrible phone line right now, and I think once you
call back, I think we gotta we gotta let you
go for one second. I will tell you this. You know,
Rich just said a moment ago, Jake Tapper wasn't the worst,
And that's true. He wasn't the worst, but he was
pretty bad. He was pretty bad, and anybody that was
(05:35):
involved in it in the media. I hope that there
is some accountability for them too. That can't come from
a hearing of course, because freedom of the press. But
it should come internally and it should come from the bosses.
I mean, whatever happened to the guy from CNN who
came in and and lectured the newsroom, lectured the newsroom
(05:58):
on you know, we have to be less bias. Remember
right before the inaugural no bringing up any of the chargers. No,
we're past that. Now he is president of the United States.
There was an edict then there was an edict not
to be who you were, not to be as biased
(06:18):
as you were, not to be in the tank for
the Democrats. Okay, now Rich Lowry's back. Rich, we don't
have a lot of time. Do you want to just
sum this up?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It was terrible. It was terrible when they got caught
and I was slowly the truth.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, it was terrible. It was terrible. But I guess
maybe we should have seen it coming. I mean, the
way that the campaign was handled, the way they handled
presidents in the past, the way they have been so
biased when it comes to the Democrats, that not only
was there a cover up in the White House, but
they knew they could get away with it because of
(06:56):
the media, don't.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You think, Yeah, the media, it was an enabler. And
by the way, we all saw this in twenty nineteen
the Democratic primary debates. Biden was not good then and
lapsed into passages of incoherence when he was speaking. So
the public got this all along, and it was the
Democrats in the media. What they really did was they
deluded themselves. The public didn't buy it.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh, that's a tremendous point. Thanks so much, Rich Lowry,
editor in chief of the National Review. We'll talk to
you next week on a better phone line.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Talk with you then.
