It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The Michael vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I thought you had to give up your double lotsplan.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I jet It's in my blood.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I'm cut out for all that fighting. Loving was right
keen on being a brain surgeon.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
Why them wrestles don't even lay in the same crowd
barrow with the double knuts I have.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
Brain surgeon might vote for days without doing no worthwhile fighting.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Or love it.
Speaker 7 (00:37):
The recent bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report almost a thousand
pages from a Republican led Senate committee laying out all
these counterintelligence concerns.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The data is too great to ignore.
Speaker 7 (00:49):
So yes, I believe that the president is compromised by
the Russians, and I think that takes a lot of form.
I think he comes through financial entanglements that he is
fighting to become known, that the Russians go out and can.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hold over him. I also think it comes from the.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
Way they're able to play into his ego and his
strange fascination and coziness with dictators and authoritarians around the world.
Speaker 8 (01:08):
You remember, Judiciary, do you believe the president right now
has been an agent of the Russians.
Speaker 9 (01:12):
Yes, I think there's more evidence than he is.
Speaker 10 (01:15):
Yes, and I think all the arrows point in that direction.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And I haven't seen a single piece of.
Speaker 8 (01:19):
Evidence that he's not an agent like in the nineteen
forties where you had people who are red stea as
at all term like that.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Nowther it's working for a farm path.
Speaker 9 (01:26):
He's working on behalf of the Russians.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Jim walk out of a store and he's walking with
the ice cream and the question the media asked him,
what kind of ice cream?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
What flavor ice cream do you have? And he's in
the midst of a scandal.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And he's taking come on, of course he is.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
It's the biggest, second biggest scandal.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
They spied in my campaign. There's no real evidence of that,
of course there is.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It's all over the place.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Leslie spied on.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
My campaign, and they got can I say something?
Speaker 11 (02:01):
You know, this is sixty minutes and we can't put
on things.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
We can't lever because it's bad for Biden. We can't
put on things we can't.
Speaker 11 (02:11):
Very Leslie, they spied to my Campaign's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Totally verified. They spied to my campaign, they got caught. No,
and then they went much further than that, and they
got caught. And you will see that, leslie and you
know that, but you just don't want to know.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
As a matter of fact, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (02:27):
Barack Obama and his weird week continues. He was on
his wife's Struggling podcast. I think they thought this was
going to be another avenue to make a lot of money,
and it hasn't turned out to work that way. And
(02:48):
he had the following He made the following statement, which
seems to be a very very odd thing to say.
I'll let you listen to it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
One of the most valuable things I learned as a.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
Guy was I had a gay professor in college.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
At a time when openly gay folks still weren't out of.
Speaker 9 (03:19):
Line, who became one of my favorite professors and was
a great guy and would call me out when I
started saying stuff that was ignorant. You need that to
show empathy and kindness. And by the way, you need
that person in your friend group so that if you
(03:41):
then have a boy who is who's who's gay, or
Don Binder or what have you, they had somebody that
they can go okay, I'm not alone in this right,
so that I think is creating that community.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I know it's corny, but that's what they need.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Yeah, can't you just see it. You're out at the Deerlees,
you're out on a fishing trip, You're with your buddies
in Vegas. Hey, Bob, bring me another beer. Hey, Temmy,
(04:21):
bring me some more wood over here, this fire is
almost out. Let me let me see if the beans
are good, y'all, but ready to eat. Sim you're being gay?
Stop being gay. You know you're going to bed early.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Stop being gay.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Excuse me, guys, as the official gay friend, I am
here to tell you you're not allowed to say that.
You're supposed to say you're being homosexual.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You're going to bed early.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
You being homosexual because you have heard Sam's feelings and
you have not been sensitive. You've not been sensitive.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
That's that's the way they would socially engineer your friend groups,
which brings to mind. Imagine Barack Obama and three or
four or five of his friend group, not for politics,
(05:20):
not for a photo spread, not to talk about later,
a couple of his real friends, and they're hanging out
doing whatever it is they do or do you think
they'd hang out? What do you think it is they'd do?
(05:40):
I'm serious. Do you think his life is in any
way similar to ninety percent of American men? Do you
think it is natural and normal by the standards that
most would consider natural and normal. Do you think if
(06:04):
his real life were on display that he'd have been
elected president? And meanwhile, we take it to break with
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat, asked by Jake Tapper, why
didn't Democrats do anything with the Epstein files while Biden
was in office? This is how awkward this subject is
(06:28):
for her and politicians.
Speaker 12 (06:32):
It's true that the president says they're Democrats didn't really
seem to do anything about the Epstein files throughout the
four years of the Biden administration. I mean, should you
have you said on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Marshall
Blackburn for years has been trying to get flight records
and other information about Epstein were released, and she seems
to have been the only one on that committee trying
(06:53):
to do so.
Speaker 13 (06:54):
So the President blaming Democrats for this disaster, Jake is
like that see that got caught on camera blaming cold play?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Okay, like this is his making.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Lucky you. The Michael continues day.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
And now for something entirely different. I'm often asked by
listeners who are parents, usually moms, but sometimes dads. Hey,
we know all the bad things to which our children
are being exposed, can you give us some good stuff?
I think that was the basis. I know that was
(07:38):
the basis upon which rush Limbaugh set out to write
children's books, even not having children himself, because he kept
hearing from people. We're really good at pointing out bad
things that you need to keep your kids away from,
but we also need to give resources to parents, and
(07:59):
parents are crazy that the schools in many cases are
giving great resources. I had a great education growing up,
but in some cases they're not. We know they're dressing
up grown men in bikinis to come in and prance around.
You know what's happening. I don't have to tell you.
So something was brought to my attention an author who's
also a licensed clinical social worker, and she's written a
(08:23):
book which is described as a pro God's Story for
ages four through eight that teaches kid that kids that
they were born right, embracing their God given identity. Well,
imagine telling kids. You don't have to change the very
core of who you are, all the way down to
your biology. Our guest is Pamela Garfield Jaeger, and I'm
(08:48):
just going to turn off my mic and let you
tell me why you wrote this book, what the purpose is,
and who it's directed toward, and what you hope they'll
take away from it.
Speaker 13 (09:02):
Wow.
Speaker 14 (09:02):
Well, thank you for having me back. The last interview
I had with you was one of my special moments
of last year. And you told me on air that
a parent found my other book a practical response to
gender distress and how much had helped her. It meant
so much, so I just want to thank you for
that awesome So, yeah, that was just a great moment.
(09:23):
So I wrote this new book. It's called Froggy Girl,
and it's exactly how you described it. It's a rhyming
little book, very charming, with beautiful, colorful drawing. It's about
a little girl who wishes she was a frog, but
she has a problem. She can't do all the froggy things,
so she feels really sad and alone. However, her parents,
(09:46):
and her teacher and her friends, they all supported her
froggy identity, so she was in this bind. And then
she went on this walk and she met a wise turtle,
and the wise turtle taught her that she's a beautiful
little girl and to appreciate how she was born. And
the last line of the book it says, and it rhymes,
(10:06):
of course, the little girl learned to love the way
God made her beautiful and smart and full of fervor.
So I wrote that because of my other book. I
was watching it in the rankings on Amazon, and it
was ranking actually fairly high in this teen LGBTQ category
on Amazon. However, it was sitting next to these nasty books,
(10:30):
the ones that I think your audience is very aware of,
and it inspired me to want to put something out
there exactly what you just said and what I love
being compared to Rush. Wow, that's quite an honor, but
it's true. Instead of just complaining, I decaid I wanted
to do something and put something out there for parents
that they had something to teach them that they were
(10:51):
born right and to appreciate how they were born, and
to appreciate their own identity without having to change it.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
In your career, your day job, not being an author,
how often is this coming up? Because for you to
devote the time to write these books, which are really
teaching tools for parents, aren't they for children and for youth?
How often is this gender dysphoria issue coming up in
your practice?
Speaker 14 (11:22):
Well, now that I speak about it publicly so much,
it comes up quite a bit, so it's very common. However,
before I became public with this topic, it was still
very common, and that was in twenty twenty one, when
I actually was on a disability I came back to
my job, being were so radically different and at this
(11:43):
clinic that I was working at. This is in California,
so I'm not in Texas, but half the girls were
identifying as non binary, and it was very shocking to
me as someone who was out of the field for
a couple of years. I came back and saw this,
and that's what opened my eyes up to this issue.
And after they actually decided that I couldn't work anymore
because I chose not to take the COVID vaccine, I
(12:06):
became public with these issues and I started to put
out resources for parents.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
Do you see do you see any reason that children
are having this gender dysphoria other than the fact that
adults with the Moonschausen by proxy syndrome are so desperate
to push them into it. Do you see anything else
making this the case?
Speaker 14 (12:36):
Yeah, I mean the really young ones. That usually has
to do with the adults around them pushing it on them. However,
there are other underlying issues or other comorbidity. So one
of the main things, especially if it's really pervasive, is
sexual trauma. A young person has sexual trauma that naturally
would make them hate the body that they have and
(12:58):
want to get rid of, especially their sexuality. So that's
a huge component. So what we're doing is we're treating
trauma with hormones and surgeries instead of helping a person
work through that. That's a common thing. There's also a
large population of autistic kids that fall into this because
(13:18):
they don't like change and they have trouble socially, and
when they announce that they're trands, all of a sudden,
all of their social awkwardness gets explained by being transgender
instead with real sols really good and they get what
they call a love bomb. So when they're a little older,
there are other.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Reasons, and it's amazing. Kids want affirmation right in what
of whether it be from their parents, their teachers, their kids.
At different ages, it's different things. But when that's how
you get the affirmation, then that's what you do. And
so it's sort of inducing you to perform in this way,
(14:02):
and it's creating the structure, isn't it where where children
are drawn to something that later there are real consequences.
They've been they've been mutilated in many cases, and that
that's just tragic. And I've seen the anger that they
that they demonstrate after the fact as a result of this.
(14:23):
Pamela Garfield Yeger is a licensed clinical social worker. That
is her day job, that is her practice, that is
her life's experience, which informed the writing of this book,
which is called Froggygirl Book dot com. Froggygirl book dot Com.
We had her on last year to promote a book
(14:45):
about a practical response to gender distress and parents. I'm
up against a break, but I want to say this.
I hear from a lot of parents whose kids. Maybe
you're going through a divorce and your wife has the
kids and you're frustrated. Elon went through this. I mean,
he's rich and powerful. There are resources out there.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Don't give up.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
If there's one thing we can't solve all your problems
today or answer every question today. But if there's one
thing I want you to know, there are resources out there.
There are books for young kids, there are professionals who
deal with this. Don't give up.
Speaker 15 (15:21):
Okay, hanging there listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast
is sexy be sexy.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson posted a montage. Wish
I could share the video with you, but the audio
will do the trick, and it is a montage of
Democrats lying about Joe Biden's mental decline. The reason we
(15:50):
bring this up is that we continue to litigate this
issue in the court of public opinion. You have to
realize nothing is ever settled. Christopher Columbus is an awful
human being. Abraham Lincoln is the worst. Thomas Jefferson is
a slave rapist. I mean, you've got to continue, day
(16:15):
in and day out to fight your battles because that
is what the Left forces you to do. So, even
with the Left, you know, pushing Joe Biden overboard, they
bear responsibility in all of that as well. Russia Russia,
Russia COVID January sixth, Well, part of all that was,
(16:39):
oh and Joe Biden needs to be our president. Joe
Biden needs to be our president. Joe Biden's great. Stop
saying he's demented. Joe Biden's great. It was very important.
That is part and parcel of the whole package we
were sold. So Mike Johnson posted this montage of what
now they all admit it was a lie.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
This is a man that's on his game, on his.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Game, top of his game. He's at the top of
his game, on the top of his game.
Speaker 13 (17:07):
Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount
Rushmore kind of president.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Is on the ball.
Speaker 16 (17:14):
The man knows more than most of us have forgotten.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
On his game, walk into the Oval office or see
him on Air Force one.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I have to be on top of my game.
Speaker 17 (17:24):
Do you believe President Biden is the future of the
Democratic the strongest person to represent Democrats until.
Speaker 15 (17:29):
The twenty four Absolutely is extraordinarily strong.
Speaker 18 (17:33):
Is the strongest, the most accomplished president we've had in
my lifetime.
Speaker 15 (17:37):
Boldest and strongest American presidents we have had.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Focused and discipline leader.
Speaker 16 (17:44):
Focused, His recall was good.
Speaker 19 (17:46):
Focus, He's detail oriented, fitness, his vigor is beyond questions, vigorous,
primi or boss.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Fully vigorous and great mental and physical health.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Effective and capable president.
Speaker 18 (17:59):
Fully capable of doing the Jobable and ready to serve
another time, Capable, seasoned, and capable of the leader.
Speaker 20 (18:05):
I have seen a lot of seventy two years not
as capable as this eighty year old.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
We have a talented and capable president.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
But I don't think he's capable. I know he's capable.
Speaker 18 (18:18):
He is capable, A strong and capable president was fully
capable of competently leading our nation.
Speaker 16 (18:24):
President Biden has a photographic memory.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Out of my mind.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
The president is mentally it's a process.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
So the president's DaMina, president's wisdom ability to get this
done on behalf of the American people against anyone, anyone
on any day.
Speaker 21 (18:40):
Clearly, this president is fit to serve.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
President Biden has proven himself to have a strong.
Speaker 16 (18:47):
Memory smoking Joe Biden was on fire.
Speaker 20 (18:51):
But it's better equipped to do that than Joe.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Biden is absolutely fit. The President is extremely effective.
Speaker 18 (19:01):
I've meant no president like most accomplished president we've had
in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
President he is fully coherent, he is on top of details.
Speaker 13 (19:09):
A definitely a better shape than I am, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's very fat. He works out almost every day.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
I know that he is ready for this campaign. I
have seen how effective he has been up close and personal.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
We see Joe Biden.
Speaker 13 (19:22):
Plus, we know how attuned here to the issues, how
informed he is. I debate with him about legislation, but
not debate but discuss it with him.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
He's right there. Absolutely, he has more energy than I do.
He works us all under the table. I can say that.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
With certainty, and puts many of us a shame with
his energy.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
I can tell you, having traveled with him a fair amount.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Sometimes he's heart to keep up with, kind of like
limitless reserves of energy. Energe, cares about the issues. He's
me and Joe Biden. There's nobody better than Joe Biden.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
But how it is hard for us to up with
this president?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Clear to me that he had the energy and the
abivity to continue to the police work. I can't even
keep up with it.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Well, that was build with passion and power and wisdom
and energy.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
Okay, I see his figure, I see his energy.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
I see his passion. He's about the energy and he's
ready to take this on.
Speaker 20 (20:21):
The same person with express anything negative.
Speaker 12 (20:24):
Have you heard any concerns from anyone who has met
with President Biden about him seeming a little slower.
Speaker 15 (20:31):
No, No, I don't have any concerns, and that's from
personal interactions.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Do you share those concerns?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
But I don't share those concerns.
Speaker 13 (20:39):
But can you honestly say you don't have any concerns
about Joe Biden that night in these debates?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
I do not have concerns.
Speaker 12 (20:46):
I mean there should be no concern Do you have
any concerns about his age? Do you have any concerns
about whether or not he should.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Be the nominated?
Speaker 17 (20:53):
I mean, I think right now when it comes to
the president's age, folks are talking about how he's eighty.
Speaker 14 (20:59):
One, he lay any concerns that you may have had
about his age or his ability to do the job.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I was never really concerned with that.
Speaker 15 (21:08):
Listen as it relates to me, I'm ready it's necessary,
but it's not going to be this.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
If there's not a problem, this president is going to
be able to sell a record.
Speaker 17 (21:19):
Are you worried that Biden's a liability for your most
vulnerable numbers?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
No, at the top of the ticket, given those.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Concerns possible, I revere his record.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I mean, this is what he's done in three years
has been a masterclass.
Speaker 18 (21:31):
I have every confidence in his abilities as president and his.
Speaker 16 (21:34):
Ability to continue doing the remarkable job that he's doing.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I have complete confidence in the president.
Speaker 18 (21:40):
Because what I've heard from all the other elected officials
I've talked to is they have confidence in Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I could not have more confidences.
Speaker 18 (21:49):
Wouldn't be running if he weren't confident.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
He's ouned for the job. He has my full support.
I'm a CoA chair for the Biden Hairs campaign. I
have great confidence in this president.
Speaker 16 (21:58):
I'm not engaging in any hypothetical.
Speaker 21 (22:00):
You can see that I'm all in for Joe Biden.
Speaker 15 (22:02):
I'm not going to engage in that hypothetical because Joe
Biden is very much alive.
Speaker 17 (22:07):
As someone who was able to interact with him, I
never questioned his acuity.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
You never saw any con decline.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
You did not see any decline from twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Not when I said there, I have never seen him
and walked away thinking he can't do this anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He was always on top of this brief and.
Speaker 17 (22:27):
I never ever ever felt like I saw anything that
was declined.
Speaker 15 (22:32):
Now I'm not lye if you were telling of it,
but I'm telling you a fact.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
But if there ever is a problem, Yeah, do you
think that you could go tell the American helplic Do
you think in your.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Role that you that you're in a position to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
He cares if someone makes a gaff.
Speaker 21 (22:51):
Every person makes a gaff in conversations.
Speaker 17 (22:54):
He makes up happen, So I don't really care if
he was off for ninety minutes then didn't put on
like people want to him.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
The platt you can go over whether he slips up
and says one name when he wants to say another name.
Speaker 18 (23:06):
He's always had a slight stutter, and I think his
staff over protects him.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Because of his age, that he's been so successful.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
His age is an asset. Age is his age.
Speaker 18 (23:17):
Yes, as I age, I appreciate wisdom even worst. He's right,
he's experienced, and with age also comes incredible wisdom.
Speaker 21 (23:26):
This is the most prepared person ever to be president
in United States.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think it's wrong to look at age. I think
we should look at capacity. I think we should look
at acuity. I think we should look at leadership.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
So you're not concerned about.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
His age at all.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I'm not concerned about his age.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
We're all aware of how he's doing.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Our country has watched our president lead, and yes, we've
also seen the fact that he's ten years older than
he was ten years.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Because of his experience, his long term, his age, he
knows the issues so well.
Speaker 15 (23:54):
The website of this point is that he has a
tremendous amount of wisdom and experience.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
I will die the country. I will die for discract
Michael Barry. Joe is the big honor to be living
in the United States.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
We're going to.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Close with more of what Mike Johnson posted, which is
a montage montage of Democrats looking you right in the eye,
looking right into the camera, looking right into the eye
of the interviewer, and lying about Joe Biden's mental decline.
And this must never be forgotten because the fact that
(24:33):
they were willing and able to do this means they're
willing and able to do it again. There is no
concept of truth. There is no absolute truth with these people,
and that's important to understand. There is no absolute truth.
(24:55):
Never believe anything they say because, as Jake Tapper's book
now points out, which indicts him as well. They knew
they were lying. They knew better than anyone that this
wasn't the best Joe Biden. This was the worst Joe Biden.
Not that he started out a genius. He was falling asleep,
(25:15):
he was falling over. They were worried he was going
to die at any moment. He didn't know where he was.
They knew all of these things. So we close, and
credit to Louisiana is Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
for releasing this is the second half of this. We
had to cut it in half.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
For you to hear it.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
But as you listen to them lie and you recognize
these voices, just realize these are the people that lied
to you then, and they lie to you now.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
President Biden would be one of the oldest.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Presidents ever, the.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Old president, the oldest president ever.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I'm not a doctor. I can't say what happens. Three
four years Sam wrote, I'm not a doctor. Aging happens
quite quickly.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
The sharpest, sharper than anyone I've spoken to.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
He's sharp, he's fit, and he's always answering questions.
Speaker 21 (26:03):
He is sharp, he is on top of things, cpably
sharp and incredibly probing.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Incredible command of the details and then sharp. The man
knows what he's talking about. He does the job sharp,
he's engaged, he pushes us.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
He was sharp, he asked good questions, he probed and
had good conversation.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Sharpshit.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Joe Biden's mental acuity is very, very on.
Speaker 11 (26:26):
He's one of the smartest, sharpest people I've met in DC.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I've seen the president twice in the last two weeks.
I've had a conversation with him.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
He's completely mentally sharp.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Do you think he was as sharp as you? I said,
I had not seem to.
Speaker 18 (26:42):
Con There is nothing to these challenges, these suggestions that
somehow he's not sharp and he's not capable.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
He is the sharpest.
Speaker 13 (26:50):
Because ever, I'm sick and tired of everybody talking about
his age.
Speaker 21 (26:53):
Does a president have the stamina physically and mentally?
Speaker 12 (26:56):
Do you think to continue on even after twenty twenty four.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
You're asking me this question, Oh my gosh, he's the
president of the United States.
Speaker 21 (27:04):
Acting is an issue is more around agism and ableism
and not what this president, President Biden has done.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Absolutely outrageous. To question the president experience is.
Speaker 11 (27:23):
That is not a question that we should be even.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Asking less time on his age and whether or not
he's going to run a little more time on the
damn record.
Speaker 21 (27:31):
Age didn't prevent him from passing the bipartisan Safer Communities
Act in order to keep our communities safe.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
His age did not prevent.
Speaker 21 (27:38):
Him from passing bipartisan infrastructure.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
The President has no impairment.
Speaker 20 (27:44):
I do not believe that Joe Biden has a problem
leading for the next four years.
Speaker 15 (27:50):
I would say that age is more than a chronological fact.
Speaker 21 (27:53):
His age didn't keep him from lifting fifty percent of
children out of poverty.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And I thought he was in good show.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
Don't met with the president thought five or six weeks ago,
we had a great discussion to seem fine, to.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Make it, Joe Biden is going to be final. Biden's
in great shape.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Look at the state of the year.
Speaker 15 (28:11):
President is in good shape, in good health, and is
ready to lead in our second term.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
And he showed exactly how with it he is.
Speaker 15 (28:19):
And I wish that people could see what I see.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
He was fine.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
But he's somebody that one on one and in small
groups has always been the dynamic, thoughtful leader that he
is today.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
His mental acuity is great, It's fine. It's as good
as it's been over the years.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Bold and vibrant president, which we doing. Joe Biden, somebody
who was bolo. Biden is extraordinarily strong.
Speaker 15 (28:42):
He is extraordinarily smart, an extraordinary leader.
Speaker 18 (28:47):
To think that there is a huge cover up underweight.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Here cover up is a very loaded terms.
Speaker 11 (28:53):
The chief fakes video, and that's exactly what they are.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
They are chief fakes video. They are done in bad shape.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Didn't even have the last time you met with him
in person.
Speaker 13 (29:02):
I'm not going to comment on my meetings with the president.
Speaker 16 (29:07):
House Democrats will defend President Biden. Today. We will defend
President Biden. Tomorrow, we will defend President Biden. Next week.
We will defend President Biden. Next month, we will defend
President Biden.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Next year.
Speaker 16 (29:21):
We will defend President Biden until the very end.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It does not have to do. They have nothing to
do with his health.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
I think that again, I have not made a perversonal assessment,
you know, but at that time, certainly of Joe Biden's
mental decline, not.
Speaker 13 (29:38):
Make a judgment about a presidency on one.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Debate.
Speaker 17 (29:44):
And let me tell you, no one claimed that he
was unintelligent or that there was some level of declient
where he was unable to comprehend or unable to perform.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
That did not exist.
Speaker 18 (29:57):
And well, Sarah, you can put anonymous quotes up here
day after day after day, and.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
It's not just anonymous. It's not just anonymous, though, Senator,
it's not just anonymous. People are from out eight four.
I'll let you.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Answer the question, but it isn't just anonymous.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
That was one in her sentid answer.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Sure, they say we've got to the back of this president.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
You don't turn your back because of one performance. What
kind of party does that? It's been a masterclass.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
he had a sharpness to him. You said that up
until July of last year.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
I said what I believe to be true, Biden should
not run again for president in twenty eight twenty four.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
The decision is very much above my break favorite to
cover up.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
They're going to say she knew, she covered it up.
Speaker 13 (30:40):
How do you answer that charge considering what we have
seen transpire over the last month.
Speaker 18 (30:46):
First, I think it's the second, I don't think it's
particularly relevant.
Speaker 19 (30:49):
Striking contrast, our colleagues had switched over from being impeachment
investigators for constitutional high crimes and misdemeanors, which is how
this whole thing started.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Being amateur Emory.
Speaker 19 (31:00):
Specialists giving us their drive by diagnoses of the President
the United States.
Speaker 15 (31:06):
The way that the President's demeanor in that report was
characterized could not be more wrong. I speak with not
only sincerity, but with a real first hand account of watching.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
I can do this work. I have never left in
saying that. No, of course, I.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
Don't any regrets about what you told the American people.
Speaker 13 (31:30):
No, not at all, not at all. He was short,
he was on his feet. I saw it live event.
I had meetings with him.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
A couple of times. Editor.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
On his feet is not praise.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
He can speak in sentences is not praise. Fair enough,
fair enough.
Speaker 18 (31:51):
That debate performance was the first time I saw anything
like that out of President Biden.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I saw the debate like every other American leadio, you know,
shocked even.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
I never saw that person, not a single time, and
I was in the Oval Office every.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Day that was on that debate stage.
Speaker 18 (32:09):
So the first time I saw an incident where President
Biden seemed to me to not be on top of
his game was his debate with President elect Frump. The
first time I saw or heard anything that made me
really question his fitness to serve a second term is
that debate. I never saw any episode or incident with
Joe Biden as we saw on that debates day.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Do not hang out with.
Speaker 18 (32:33):
The president on the weekends. I don't spend time with
him socializing and in person.
Speaker 17 (32:38):
So let me tell you if Joe Biden was like
mentally deficient in some way and he was still able
to keep this sucker on the tracks, and then give
me a mentally deficient Joe Biden
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Thank you and good night.
