Speaker 2 (00:16):
After going through the pile of news stories and information
this past weekend about Joe Biden and his decline, and
we'll get into some of that, it hit me. It
hit me. I haven't been able to come up with
a really good comparison character from pop culture yet. Joe
(00:41):
Biden reminds me, it's definitely he's Junior Soprano, Corrado soprano
Uncle Junior from The Sopranos, And I had the earlier
parts the movie. It's like Joe Biden's got that little
Napoleon complex all along the way, and then you know,
(01:02):
and he can't handle his nephew Tony. Eventually he gets
in charge and he's all puffed up memory he's putting
that putting the airs on and then he slowly but
he just loses his mind. And to get to the end,
he's digging holes in the backyard looking for cash and
(01:23):
worried about he ended up shooting Tony because he thought
he was somebody else. Anyway, very much similarities between Joe
Biden and Junior Soprano anyway, absolutely frightening. Interview Speaker Johnson,
(01:47):
he had one on one meeting, He had a he
had a beg to get a one on one meeting
with Joe Biden. The Biden staffers wouldn't let it. Now again,
I want to remind everybody, Speaker of the House is
third in line to the presidency, third line to the presidency.
He couldn't get a meeting, and Mike Johnson, you know,
(02:08):
did an interview, talks about something. You know, I'm an
old school constitutional guy. What's going on? He then, you know,
puts out some leaks the press to force Biden to
have a meeting with him. And it wasn't Biden. It
was well, it was Biden, but it was Biden. Kamala,
Schumer came, all of the staffers were there. Eventually Joe
(02:32):
got a little upset and through kind of told everybody
to leave the room, and everybody kind of got scared
that they were talking in this conversation. Speaker Johnson asked Biden,
why in the world would you pause L N G.
Liquify natural gas deliveries to Europe. Why would you do that?
(02:53):
And again there is liquified natural gas terminals in Louisiana
and Joe Bida know what he was talking about. It
was an executive order. It was signed a week and
a half earlier. He didn't know, he didn't even know
what he signed. Then he's like, oh, yeah, I signed something,
(03:13):
but it was about a study of liquefied natural gas.
And I was like, no, sir, no, no, no, you
paused it. You paused it. Basically again, I don't know
what's going to be written after the fact. I mean
there's more stories coming out here about how the the
(03:37):
inner circle there basically you know, protected kept him away.
And you know, I suspected this. I've said this all
along that it was. In my opinion, it's the the
Obama people that have been running the show. And quite frankly,
I do believe that this really needs a a serious investigation,
(04:03):
I mean a massive investigation. We need to shine a
light on this, and quite frankly, people need to go
to jail, they need to be prosecuted, they need to
be exposed for the dirt bags that they are. You know,
the funny thing is is that you get these leftists
out there, or they had their march in DC, the morons,
(04:25):
the morons there wearing the vagina caps and now I
had vagina masks this time, I mean people. And it's
the way the resurrected. And I'm like man in the
nineteen seventies, nineteen seventies, these people would have been committed
for crying out loud, like my grandmother and Nanna used
to say, I gotta send you kids to Poughkeepsie. Yeah,
(04:48):
they the they would have been thrown it insane asylums,
because that's another they're insane. But you know this this fascism.
Do you understand what's been taking place. They talk about democracy.
We have a bloody democ were a republic. We've had
the Obama dictatorship running the show. And you know, I
(05:14):
am I am a big person, but believe in forgiveness.
But also forgiveness cannot be a national suicide pact. And
all of these people need to be rooted out. They
need to be thrown out, They need to be exposed,
they need to be shamed, they need to be thrown
in jail. Need to be thrown in jail. Then we
(05:38):
get today, get today, late last night. Yeah, if you
want to read it. Statement from Joe Biden. Here, our
national eyes on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They
are the lifeblood, the lifeblood of our democracy. You had
alarmingly public services have been subjected to ongoing threats and
(05:59):
intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties. And here we go,
Mark milly Fauci, the people on the January sixth committee
all getting a pardon now? Mind you, you can go back,
You can go back and listen to interviews with Jake Tapper,
(06:20):
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Jake Tapper, tell them, oh, Joe yoh,
Trump's thinking about pardoning people before he leaves office. This
is back in December, December, before Biden was taking office.
And I would never do anything like that, never do
anything like that. Just ten days ago, Bien's like, no, no, no,
(06:42):
I'm not going to pardon anybody that hasn't committed a crime.
Well what are you doing here? And again, what type
of half ass banana public do we actually living it
at this point in time that you can just give
a blanket pardon for something haven't been charged for a
A monopoly get out of jail free card. Now I listen,
(07:09):
I understand when I lived on Long Island, when we
have the line when I was coaching lacrosse, I haven't
a coach. Guys in a police department on Long Island
and hey, it's you know. They give you a little
PBA card if you ever got pulled over, your show
that Na'm dealing with it. But I never got I
(07:30):
drive quick, but I never got pulled over. But anyway,
neither here nor there, How the world, how the world
is it? Okay? Okay? And again I would love to
see this brought up in front of the Supreme Court.
Who I mean, what kind of country live in? The
president can just pardon wherever he wants, even if you
haven't done anything yet. So what you're saying is is
(07:51):
that the president of the United States can just if
you wanted to, I do declare and do decree that
I am going to pardon anybody for future crimes. You
can do that. Again. I can't get my arms around this.
But if you actually think that Uncle Junior here was
(08:11):
behind this, you're crazy again. Like in the Sopranos, you know,
they let Uncle Junior, you know, pretend like he was
the head of the family, but Tony was really running
everything behind the scenes. Same crap, same got go after Biden. Biden,
he's incapacitated for crying. Now we all know that. Oh
(08:35):
but Obama and his gang. Yeah, and this, this would
to me, it's a national emergency. This is a national emergency.
I got all sorts of government rules on how you
(08:55):
can fire and who you can now, now, this this
is something that it's disgusting. Who has been running our country?
Who has been running the show. Obviously nobody we elected,
Nobody that the country elected. There's no way shape mataform.
We all know that. Now, how is that? Okay? Watchdog
