Over to the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line.
Fox News contributor Liz Peak joining me. Liz, thanks for
the time this morning. Your latest story at foxnews dot
com under the opinions tab has to do with the
Biden cancer announcement and a lot of questions here. Of course,
you know we I think it's okay to be critical
of this as well as compassionate. I don't wish anybody
(00:22):
cancer of any kind, but the timing of the announcement
is interesting. And the latest news that I saw this
morning is that President former President Biden had no prostate
cancer tests, no exams, no screenings since twenty fourteen. Are
we expected to believe that? Or should we believe that
he did have tests and the results were swept under
(00:43):
the rug.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah? Either one is pretty deplorable, right, I mean, it's
pretty incredible because I don't think there's a man over
fifty in America who sees a doctor regularly who is
not tested for prostay cancer. It's a simple blood test,
no big deal. It's not credible to me that this president,
who after all, was under enormous scrutiny in his White
(01:07):
House years and before we presume for all kinds of issues,
including the aneurysms that he'd had before, the possibility of Parkinson's.
Remember that whole flap about a Parkinson's doctor coming to
the White House frequently, and I think we were told,
weren't we, that he was there to see somebody else.
(01:28):
The whole thing is so completely laughable. Cancer is not laughable,
and of course we are. You know, I'm sorry that
he has cancer. But the idea that this went undetected
and now has metastasized to his bone, when everybody knows
it takes five to seven years to have that process
work its way through your body. The fact that no
(01:50):
one picked us up during that entire time, it is
not credible.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
No, it's incredibly irresponsible or negligent, is what it is.
And to your point, how easy it is. I get
mine when I get my check up every year. It's
just a blood test. Now, and when you're talking about
the president of the United States or then the vice
president of the United States, who has access to the
best medical care and best healthcare on the planet, that yet, okay,
(02:15):
we don't do the routine digital exam anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Just a blood test. Hey, mister President, we know you're
in your seventies. This is probably not a huge issue
for you. But we're going to go ahead and run
these tests. You know, it's no big deal, and then
they find something and then they can treat it much earlier.
I just have a hard time believing that wasn't done.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
One And frankly, if it was done, I don't know
seven eight years ago and they discovered a problem, did
they just let it go forward because they didn't want
to interrupt his political aspirations or everything about this is
so horrendous. And you know, the problem is is you
said the timing is somewhat suspect, because of course a
(02:57):
lot of negative information is coming out via Jake Tapper's
book and elsewhere about the administration about who knew who.
But the reality is this hasn't just cast a pall
over Joe Biden and his family and his inner circle.
All the Democrats who were in positions of power, all
(03:17):
the people who were regularly interacting with the president are
now suspect and they're under a cloud. And the polling
on Democratic Party is atrocious, and everybody wonders why, Well,
guess what. Maybe it's because people just don't really trust them.
Having conspired, and by the way, the media is complicit
in this too. The liberal media and Democrat leadership conspire
(03:41):
to hide this from the American people. The most mind
boggling part is that he actually thought he could run
for a second term, or the people around him, his
handler so to speak, thought he could run for a
second term. I mean, give me a break, what would
they think. I guess they were thinking that he'd get
in often become so visibly incapable of doing the job
(04:03):
that Kamala Harris would take his place. But my golly,
what a tremendous fraud to perpetrate on the American people.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah. I think the first person that you had to
bring up is doctor Jill Biden in this situation. Why
did she allow it? I mean, who's closer to the
president than she is? But speaking with Liz Peak Fox News,
you mentioned Jake Tapper from CNN in his book Just
to Switch gears a little bit here. I talked about
this about a half an hour ago, Liz, that he
wrote this book called Original Sin on the cover up
(04:32):
of his cognitive decline. The question is is why didn't
Jake report on this while Biden was in the White House?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, and by the way, this wasn't a secret, right,
I mean, go back to the Democratic primaries in twenty nineteen.
Some of his rivals in the twenty nineteen primaries were
already calling out Biden as being too old. And remember
in one of the Democratic debates and debates excuse me,
someone said, well, you just Joe Biden said something that
(05:02):
contradicted something he said a couple of minutes before, and
it was Julian Castro said, well, wait a minute, you
just contradicted yourself. Don't you remember what you said two
minutes ago? Are you implying are you too old to
even remember that? He may have been, I don't know,
but it was an issue. Then Fox News covered it.
(05:23):
We covered the episodes of Joe recognizing someone in the
crowd who'd been dead for several years, mixing up his
wife and somebody else. But you know what, you'll never
have seen that on CBS or MSNBC or whatever. As
far as they were concerned, that was not that was
(05:43):
a no go zone in terms of talking to the
American people. And so it isn't just Democrat credibility that's
been really slaughtered here in my view, it's also the
media Yeah, did we need further proof that they weren't
very good at their jobs or that they were politically biased? No,
we didn't, But do we have it now?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And then we will. Then the question comes up of
who was running the country for four years, and you know,
we know it's a bunch of millennials, twenty five to
thirty five year olds who had their radical agenda and
they just basically used the auto pen to get Biden
to quote unquote sign stuff that he had no idea about.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, and you know this isn't just a fiction that
he didn't know that that sort of now famous quote
from Mike Johnson about going in to see him and
talking about lifting the Biden's quite recent embargo on expansion
of LNG exports and the President goes, well, I didn't
do that, and Johnson said, excuse me, sir, you did.
(06:40):
But did he know? Did he just forget this? You know?
I mean, I don't. I think this is a real
issue that Trump has raised about the autopen, about the
pardons and various other things that Joe himself may not
have actually engineered. And so what becomes of that? I mean,
if I were the Trump administration, I would look into
(07:03):
that pretty seriously, because by the way, some of the
pardons were outrageous. Even Democrats had a hard time justifying
why Hunter Biden and other Biden family members were pardoned
for whatever possibly they might have done wrong over twenty years.
I mean, what is that? You know, who has ever
seen something like that before? So you're right. The last
(07:26):
piece of the puzzle is who was in charge? Who was?
And again I suspect you and I talked about this
four years ago because even then people at Fox News,
people who were paying attention, were questioning whether Joe Biden
was really running the White House. And we still really
don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Lizbeth Fox News her latest story at foxnews dot Com
under the opinion stab and we'll switch gears at last
minute or so hit here, Liz, the big beautiful bill
is getting closer and closer to the House floor and
getting a vote. You think that's going to come through?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh? I do? I do? I mean, you know, these
these process the process is never attractive, it's never without
controversy and so forth. And yeah, you have people like
Massey who from Kentucky who will certainly vote against it.
But Mike Waller wants to be in good standing with
the administration. He's going to basically bend I suspect on
(08:22):
the soul cap. Look, the bill basically is what people want.
It incorporates a lot of the promises that President Trump
made on the campaign trail, promises he has to keep,
uh and I think he will. So it'll it'll happen.
And it's being routinely trashed by Democrats. People should know
Medicaid benefits are not being cut. What has changed is
(08:46):
the eligibility to receive those benefits. And if anyone thinks
that an able bodied, single young man should be getting Medicaid,
you know, then there really are. They're not going to
support Republicans anyway. I mean, this is so out of
control and it's so not what the bill was intended
to do, which was to help pregnant, poor women with children,
(09:10):
that it has to be fixed, and so they will
fix it. But don't expect Democrats not to lie through
their teeth about it.
