Vlad Davidiuk - Political Analyst Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I don't think that Joe Biden's been eating any
bad brown acid, but his brain is mush. I mean,
even the New York Times says his brain is mush.
Joining us to talk about Vlad DAVIDIOC And why it's important,
I think is that nobody, including the New York Times,
is buying the idea of Lad that Joe Biden had
any idea what was being signed with that auto pen.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
No, it's deeply alarming. You know what the American people
are starting to learn, which is something that they've suspected
long before, is that in the final days of his presidency,
Joe Biden authorized mass pardons without personally signing or reviewing
the orders, which is what is required by law. He
was basically just a hand holding a button or pushing

(00:44):
an autopen release and that's all he was there for.
He was there just to sign blank checks.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
And I'm not even sure he pushed the button, are you.
I mean, it remains to be seen just how much
of this was being done by his staff versus him
just pushing a button.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well, it kind of reminds me back in like in
the old days, where like you'd have like a copier
room and people go there and just make whatever copies
they needed without going through any kind of chext or balances.
And it's likely that he wasn't involved at all. He
probably had conversations, maybe just on a vague general sense,
and people went ahead and just used used the machine

(01:22):
to for their own gains, for their own for their
own benefit. His admission that he didn't review or approved
pardons and his chief of status acknowledgement that of using
the autopen without a verification suggests not only a complete
departure from any sense of responsibility, but a complete collapse
of executive accountability.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Okay, well, now that we've discussed all that, what the
hell are we going to do about it?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, right now we've had members of the Senate announced
that they're beginning of investigation. Is certainly Senator Ashley Moody
the Judiciary Committee are going to be launching an investigation
into the use of the autopen. Senator Ran Paul has
announced that he's going to be looking into this as well.
So the Senators are starting to really join a chorus
that this needs full investigation. The American people deserve transparency,

(02:10):
they deserve accountability, not these backroom deals to hide what
happened and bureaucratic signature machines that the big problem right
now is that the media silence is telling. If the
scandal had occurred under Republican president, the media will be
demanding resignations. They'd be demanding people be walked purp walked
across the stage, and their silence speaks volumes about the

(02:32):
partisan double standards. And thankfully we have people looking into
making investigations into this.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Right. I think the only way though, that you possibly
prevents something like this from happening again is that you
bring criminal charges. You prosecute to the fullest extent of
the law. People need to go to jail.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah. No, this is about more than pardons. This is
about trust. Every American should be concerned that when President
admits that he didn't personally authorize high level of pardons,
when he admits that he did not have full control
over what was happening under his signature, and that means
that the trust in law has been broken. And until
we have prosecutions, until we actually have some kind of
resolution and maybe even convictions, this trust won't be restored.

(03:14):
We need full accountability.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Amen. Thank you, sir as, always appreciate it. Glad to Video,
political analyst
