WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.440 Fresh off the heels of the big Jake Tapper book 2 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.879 that's coming out talking about how, oh President Biden was 3 00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.199 actually senile and everybody knew about it, and now we're 4 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.480 going to do this giant cya and we were all 5 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:21.079 deceived by this elaborate ruse, which, by the way, I 6 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:28.000 don't want to call whatever happened with basically the media 7 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.879 refusing to acknowledge that Biden was senile. I don't want 8 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.679 to call it a cover up. It was an emperor 9 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.280 has no clothes situation, and that's not a cover up. 10 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.159 Emperor has no closed situation is the emperor's in full 11 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.119 view of everybody with no clothes on. Everyone can see it. 12 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.759 But everyone is too intimidated by the emperor, or I 13 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.079 don't know, wanting the emperor to remain in power or something, 14 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.280 to actually have the guts to stand there and say, hey, 15 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.000 the emperor has no clothes. Only in this context, sixty 16 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.640 percent of the country was acknowledging that the emperor had 17 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:12.000 no clothes. You have to reinforce this point. Before the 18 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:19.200 CNN debate, sixty percent of the country said Joe Biden 19 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.239 is too old to be president. Sixty percent of the 20 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.400 country had seen the video, the videos, multiple multiple videos. 21 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.159 Seen the guy talk where he kind of talks like 22 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.439 this and then he would kind of whisper for some 23 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.959 stupid reason, like he It was obvious. It was obvious 24 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.640 to anyone with eyes. And the only people who for 25 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.480 whom it was not obvious were Democrat partisans who had 26 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:53.079 to willfully blind themselves to this reality because the reality 27 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.640 was really politically disastrous for them. You have a senile 28 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.200 old man in the White House and he's trying to 29 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:06.280 run for president again. Well, now we've got on top 30 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.919 of it all this cancer diagnosis, and the media is 31 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:16.360 rushing to recreate all of the exact same, the exact 32 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.120 same sort of timetable of denials, giving way to be grudging. Okay, 33 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.560 yeah it was true. So what happened with Biden's sanility? 34 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.120 First it was the media saying anyone who thinks Biden 35 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.680 is senile is a conspiracy theorist engaging in an unfounded speculation. 36 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:44.120 Then Biden has the disastrous June debate and it's clear 37 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:50.080 he's more of a political liability than he is an asset, 38 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:57.159 and the media say, well, recent events have resulted in 39 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:02.639 calling into question whether President Biden's mental acuity. And then 40 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.120 finally we get the Jake Tapper book and there's like, okay, 41 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.759 well a re updated reporting has revealed as long as 42 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.479 there's reporting about it, you know, the reporting that they 43 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.319 the media failed to do initially that they the media 44 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.039 very easily could have done, should have done for years. Well, 45 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.840 updated reporting as indicated. But basically, the media tries to 46 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.560 take this attitude of you were Republicans, you conservatives who 47 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.800 thought he was senile, then you didn't have enough basis 48 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.000 to do it. Then you were still wrong for thinking that, 49 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.960 rather than saying, oh, well, you Republicans were right all along, 50 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.759 and you know, believing your lying eyes was actually the 51 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.159 right thing to do, believing your eyes when you would 52 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.439 watch Biden, you know, try to walk. I mean the 53 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.800 Biden's greatest enemy seemingly was having to depart from any 54 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.759 stage where he was talking, because it feels like fifty 55 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.080 percent of the time he would just walk. He's just 56 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.759 walking in any rate direction to get off of a 57 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.000 stage where he's talking, and God knows which direction he's 58 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.120 going in and whether it's the right one. So that 59 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.199 was the cycle. It was. Republicans are engaged in unfounded 60 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.439 speculation to updated reporting because maybe in light of recent events, 61 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.000 updated reporting is indicated that perhaps President Biden is blah 62 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.720 blah blah blah blah to begrudging acceptance. It seems like 63 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.920 the same thing is happening right now with this cancer diagnosis. 64 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.040 Biden is diagnosed over the weekend with horrible stage four 65 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:48.199 prostate cancer. It's really bad. Over the weekend, pretty much 66 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.959 all the talking points from elected Republicans from the president 67 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:57.439 down were just sympathy, sympathy directed to the Bidens themselves, 68 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.839 which is the right thing to do. As we come 69 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.120 out of the weekend into Monday Tuesday, the question then arises, Hey, 70 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.959 you know, he's only been out of office for I 71 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.639 don't know, less than one hundred and fifty days. Did 72 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.279 he have cancer while he was president? Like and I 73 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:27.360 from what I have read and seen, it seems like 74 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:33.160 it's only a very small percentage of prostate cancer cases 75 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.519 can go from you know, zero to stage four within 76 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.319 that short of a timeframe. The overwhelming majority of cases 77 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.120 would indicate that actually, yeah, Biden probably had this while 78 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.680 he was president. And you've got people like you know. 79 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.680 There was a good piece in National Review about this, 80 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.319 written by Noah Rothman, who's one of their big writers, 81 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.560 And the title of it is simply, how dare they? 82 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.160 And it's basically all about this topic. Basically, he's saying, 83 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.519 how dare the media act like we are wild eyed 84 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.240 conspiracy theorists for asking the question about an administration that 85 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:22.519 the media themselves is admitting that the administration engaged in 86 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:28.399 a massive cover up of Biden's sinility. And now the 87 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.639 media is going to have the temerity to say of 88 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.639 conservatives asking did he have cancer while he was president, 89 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.560 they're going to say that we are wild conspiracy theorists. 90 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.600 There's an NBC News story about the Biden diagnosis and 91 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.639 Republicans speculating. Here's the quote from this NBC News story 92 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.759 about it, which which seems to be the going This 93 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.800 seems to be the line that the media is using 94 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.600 across a lot. Many media outlets are using this line. 95 00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.800 This is an NBC News piece by Peter Nicholas and 96 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:05.079 the correci They write, the alarming news of Biden's illness, 97 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.120 coupled with the damage to biden world's credibility when it 98 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.920 comes to his fitness, are the tender for unfounded speculation 99 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.959 that Biden knew he was sick. And concealed it until 100 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.879 he left office. Unfounded speculation. I'd say it's pretty well founded. 101 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.160 I didn't just come up with the idea on my own. 102 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:33.279 They just announced he's got stage four cancer. I would 103 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.439 like to know when it was stage one and call 104 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.120 me crazy. I feel like that could very well have 105 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:48.120 been over a year ago, while he was still the 106 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.240 leading Democrat candidate for the presidency. I don't how is 107 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.279 that crazy? There are a million scenarios where that could 108 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.839 have been the case. In fact, there was a video 109 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.160 of Biden giving a speech back in twenty twenty two 110 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.120 where he made some We just chalked it up to 111 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.240 Biden being senile and doing one of his usual verbal 112 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.439 slips where he seemed to indicate that were where that 113 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.279 he and all of his family members have cancer or 114 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.800 a lot of family members have had cancer, and at 115 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.079 the time it was brushed off with, oh, well, you 116 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:32.000 know he's had skin cancer before. So they they're they're 117 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:38.279 redoing this whole same this, this whole same circus where 118 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.480 they start by saying, oh, this is just wild, unfounded speculation. 119 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.200 Then they will do any reporting, any investigation into it 120 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.639 at all, and they're going to come up with more 121 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.120 data that yeah, Biden knew about this for you know, 122 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.559 years and was getting treatment for it the whole time, 123 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.559 and lied to the American public, including like Biden was 124 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.879 getting regular checkups and was having the results of those 125 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:10.360 checkups be announced. Were we just being lied to? Because 126 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:17.240 that's the thing. If this is Vinnie Schmucatelli getting diagnosed 127 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:22.879 with stage four cancer, Joe Schmoe, who you know maybe 128 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.840 goes to the doctor once a year, you know, not 129 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:32.120 doing a full battery tests whatever. If it's if it's 130 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.559 my wife's Minnesotan relatives who lived in rural Minnesota, like 131 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:40.919 her grandpa and that that sort of generation who you know, 132 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.879 never wanted to go to a doctor ever for anything, 133 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.840 only go to the doctor like when you know, their 134 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:51.200 legs falling off after a you know, a combine accident. Okay, 135 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.559 I could believe that we only just learned that Grandpa 136 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:02.519 Kleisky has you know, stage four cancer, and that nobody 137 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.039 knew about it before. This is the President of the 138 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:12.360 United States. Nobody's health is being more closely and carefully 139 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:25.480 monitored than his nobody. And again, stage four colon cancer 140 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.320 usually just does not materialize that quickly. That oh yeah, Yeah, 141 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.639 he was totally healthy when he was in office, and 142 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.240 now he's Oh, now he's about to die. And even 143 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.440 liberals have admitted this. Z Commanuel, who the guy who 144 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.480 wrote Obamacare, who was a prominent advisor to the Obama 145 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:49.320 and Biden administrations on healthcare issues. Rama Manuel's brother wrote, 146 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.279 he did not develop it in the last one hundred 147 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.320 two hundred days, said doctor z Commanuel, a former advisor 148 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.279 to the Obama administration. He had it while he was president, 149 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.639 probably had it at the start of his presidency. In 150 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:09.320 twenty twenty one. Urologist doctor David Schusterman agrees. This is 151 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.080 from Noah Rothman's piece in National Review. Doctor David Schusterman 152 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.039 eurologists agrees the fact that we just find it at 153 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.240 a Gleason nine level. So the Gleason scale, I guess, 154 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.679 is the scale which you use to determine, I guess 155 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.879 the severity of at least colon cancer. I'm not sure 156 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.279 if it's for other kinds of cancers. So it's a 157 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.399 scale one to nine. Excuse me, one to ten. Nine 158 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:36.879 is like almost the worst. That's where Biden is. Eurologist 159 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.519 doctor David Schustman agrees the fact that we just find 160 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.720 it at a Gleason nine is just pretty much unheard 161 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.039 of in this day and age of medicine, he said, 162 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.960 of the curious extent of Biden's cancer. Of Biden's cancer's metastasis. Rather, 163 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.399 the president's condition is what a physician might encounter when 164 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.519 treating a patient who hasn't had medical attention in ten year. See, 165 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.000 that's what I'm talking about. This. This is like Grandpa 166 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:09.279 Kleisky living out in rural Minnesota who still has like 167 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.679 a rural like distrust of doctors. But he feels so 168 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.080 bad that finally his wife convinces him to go to 169 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.879 the doctor, and he hasn't been to the doctor in 170 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.519 you know, seven years. Yeah, you have stage four cancer. Like, Okay, 171 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.919 that's an outcome. We could that that that is understandable, 172 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:32.039 not you know, the president of the United States, who's 173 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:47.360 getting the best healthcare humanly possible. So unfounded speculation, bul bleep. 174 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:53.399 It is not unfounded. It is heavily founded, just on 175 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.039 the nature of what he had, of what he they're 176 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:03.519 telling us he has. It's one percent reasonable. And furthermore, 177 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.879 it's even more reasonable given that they lied to us. 178 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.320 They lied to us. We know that they lied to 179 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.480 us about his mental acuity. They lied to us while 180 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:21.440 we could see it. I mean, there's something particularly galling 181 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.639 about being lied to while you can see it in 182 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.679 front of your face, the telling you to not believe 183 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:38.120 your lying eyes aspect of it. And I think it's 184 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.279 this horrific danger to the whole structure of Republican governance 185 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.879 that we have the executive power vested in one person, 186 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:57.879 the executive He's the lynchpin for the whole executive branch. This, 187 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.240 by the way, is a quote from the Jake Tapper book. 188 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.000 And as much as I dislike Jake Tapper cynically like 189 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.639 cashing in on this after denying for years that Biden 190 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.600 had anything wrong with him, I mean this is a 191 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.159 telling quote because it's exactly what every Republican was saying, 192 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.799 what every conservative who was pretty sure that Biden was 193 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.279 seen al was saying. He has this quote from quote 194 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.879 a person familiar with the internal dynamic of the Biden 195 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.960 White House. And although I must say I hate the 196 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.759 cowardice of all these Biden people who are leaking these 197 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:36.559 anonymous quotes to Jake Tapper in this obvious c ya. 198 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.000 Now when it doesn't matter, when it doesn't actually when 199 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.279 you know, the country already went through the risk of 200 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:47.360 having basically an incompetent person at the head of the 201 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.240 executive branch. Anyway, this quote from a person familiar with 202 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.720 the internal dynamic of the Biden White House that is 203 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:58.120 in Tapper's book. This person said, quote, five people were 204 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.600 running the country and Joe Oh Biden was at best 205 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:06.200 a senior member of the board. Who were those five people? 206 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.759 That's what we all suspected all along. We suspected all 207 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.240 along that there was a couple of people, a shadowy 208 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.559 group of people, really pulling the strings, and that Biden 209 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.360 was sort of with it, maybe with it, maybe part 210 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.440 of the decision making, but ultimately there were there were 211 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.399 power brokers pulling the strings. Who were they? I want 212 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:35.240 to know their five names? When we return. I ask 213 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.519 the question kui bono? Who benefits from all this? Next? 214 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:45.320 On the John Girardi Show. There's a Latin phrase, kui bono? 215 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.399 Who benefits? And it's a good question to answer to 216 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:57.440 ask yourself in politics, especially with the release when certain 217 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:04.279 information gets released, Why certain information it's released? Who benefits? 218 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.240 Who benefits from all these different revelations we've had in 219 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.759 the last two weeks about Biden's mental health, now, Biden's 220 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:15.879 physical health, et cetera. So why do we learn now 221 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:22.159 about Biden's cancer? I mean, they covered it up this, 222 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.320 you know, assuming that they covered it up this whole time, 223 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.039 which frankly it seems implausible to think that they didn't 224 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:35.360 cover it up. Again, you don't. It's basically exceedingly rare 225 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.399 to go from no cancer while you're president to stage 226 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.200 four cancer you're going to die within I don't know 227 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.039 how how far out we are from January twentieth, about 228 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.759 you know, less than one hundred and fifty days. It's 229 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.679 just not plausible. This is the diagnosis you would find 230 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.919 in someone who hasn't been to the doctor in seven years. 231 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.600 Even hardcore left wing docs like Exekiel Emmanuel are saying 232 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.440 he probably had it the whole time he was president 233 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.680 and he didn't tell anybody, So why reveal it now. Well, 234 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.680 it may be that the Biden family thinks he's gonna 235 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.599 die this summer, so maybe they feel like they kind 236 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.160 of have to say something that they're you're not gonna 237 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.000 see Joe around it, or he's about to go into 238 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.839 super heavier treatment, or he's not going to be making 239 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.319 any more public appearances for the foreseeable future or something. 240 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.960 So the Biden family kind of feels like they have 241 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.319 to give some kind of public explanation for that. Maybe 242 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.039 that's it. I could see though, this being a ham 243 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.799 fisted given you know, the brain trust running this at 244 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.519 this point, which is presumably now reduced to you know, 245 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.200 Jill and Joe and Hunter, and you know, they probably 246 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.920 don't have the the bevy of Democrat advisor and political 247 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.920 advisors and pr advisors around them. They assuredly they have some, 248 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.400 but they certainly don't have as many as he did 249 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:15.680 when he was still president. So maybe this was a 250 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.960 ham fisted attempt to deflect from the Jake Tapper book. 251 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.039 Here's the Jake Tapper book coming out. I'm going to 252 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.680 say President Biden was seen ale this whole time, and 253 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.920 there was this big cover up. So maybe the Biden 254 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.119 family thinks, why don't we release that he's got this 255 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:37.680 cancer diagnosis. Maybe that will stem the tide a little 256 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.039 bit and people will have sympathy for Joe and it'll 257 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.880 just make that story kind of it'll sort of deflate 258 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.559 the book, deflate that story and kind of make it 259 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:52.160 go away. Maybe they didn't account for the fact that 260 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.200 really all that revelation is going to do is make 261 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:00.000 people ask more questions that maybe they covered up more stuff, 262 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:07.119 specifically his cancer did Oh so, now not only were 263 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.759 you lying to the American public about the state of 264 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.279 his mental health, you are also lying to the American 265 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.440 public about the state of his physical health. That you know, 266 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.640 and what are we to think of all of these 267 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.799 releases from his doctors saying, Oh, he's in the greatest 268 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.519 health ever, He's super clean, Bill hillth Oh, this Joe Biden, 269 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.680 he's just an amazing guy. What are we supposed to 270 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.160 think of that? It seems kind of I mean, those 271 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:45.359 statements seem pretty implausible at this point. Now, let's go 272 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:53.880 to Jake Tapper's book Koi Bono. Who benefits well? Tapper benefits. 273 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.759 Tapper and Alex Thompson, the writers of the book, they 274 00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.960 benefit because now they've got a number one New York 275 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.079 Times bestseller on their hands. They got the hottest book 276 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:05.240 in Washington, they got the book that's going to be 277 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:10.640 driving news coverage for the next month. They're going to 278 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:16.319 make out like bandits financially. It also provides them and 279 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.920 maybe the media as a whole with cover, this cover 280 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.000 that they desperately need, and Tapper certainly feels himself a 281 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.079 member of this tribe and wanting to defend this tribe 282 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.960 of media hacks that we were deceived. They want to 283 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:39.680 create this landscape of it's not our fault that we 284 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.880 didn't investigate this, that we didn't report on it, and 285 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.640 that we called everyone who said it was happening conspiracy theorists. 286 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.599 They want to say that it's not their fault. It's 287 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:55.000 not their fault, even though again they didn't report on it, 288 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.240 they didn't investigate it, and they called all the Republicans 289 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.799 who were saying itnspiracy theorists. They want to have this 290 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.960 book out so that the party line is we were 291 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:13.200 deceived with an elaborate ruse, even though all you had 292 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:15.599 to do was look at the guy and you could 293 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.799 figure out that, yeah, probably everything's not quite right upstairs. 294 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.319 Like and that's the most galling part about this that 295 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.400 they dare call it a cover up. It's not a 296 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:29.960 cover up. It was happening right in front of everybody, 297 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.920 for all the world to see, on all the television 298 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.640 cameras that you guys were watching, just as well as 299 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:37.480 everyone else, and they didn't want to believe it because 300 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.200 if they accepted the reality that was in front of 301 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.039 them Joe Biden is senile, then it's a disaster for 302 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:50.000 their preferred politics. Their preferred politics was for Joe Biden 303 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:52.160 to win the twenty twenty four election so that Donald 304 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.000 Trump wouldn't And really that's the end goal of everything. 305 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.039 They just didn't want Donald Trump to win in twenty 306 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.480 twenty four, so they had to keep pretending like Joe 307 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.559 Biden was okay, and he wasn't okay, And so they 308 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.160 didn't investigate it, they didn't report on it, and they 309 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:09.160 called everyone who was a Republican who was saying that 310 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:15.559 there was a problem here conspiracy theorists. So now they 311 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:17.920 have to have some kind of way to cover their butts. 312 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:21.119 So the Jake Tapper book comes out saying what an 313 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.240 elaborate ruse was played on us, the poor innocent media. 314 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.079 All right, when we return, we'll talk about a couple 315 00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:32.480 of different California things. Poor old Gavin Newsom, He's made 316 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:35.200 everybody angry and he still hasn't really fixed the budget. 317 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:42.559 That's next on the John Girardi Show. Poor Gavin Newsom, 318 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.960 I'm willing to say, poor Gavin Newsom, because I think 319 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:51.559 his whole political house of cards, his ambitions of running 320 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.079 for president, I think they're all kind of falling apart 321 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.839 right now. The high speed rail continues to be a disaster. 322 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:05.240 He's facing another huge hole with the state's budget, and 323 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:08.720 just basically this assessment that we're going to just chronically 324 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:15.960 chronically face billions of dollars in deficits, tens of billions 325 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.759 of dollars in deficits year over year over year. He's 326 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.799 trying to do some cuts as best he can, and 327 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.880 it's really ticking off his own allies. Planned parenthood of 328 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:32.519 all people is furious at him. He you know, one 329 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.079 of the centerpieces of his campaigning for governor in twenty 330 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:41.039 eighteen was single healthcare for all, single payer healthcare for all, 331 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:43.480 and he's had to roll that. Well, he never actually 332 00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:46.759 pursued single payer health care. That was, you know, one 333 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.480 of the big sleazy lies of his or I guess 334 00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.799 baiton switches whatever. Instead of going for single payer healthcare, 335 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:57.559 which he realized would have required enormous tax increases and 336 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:00.839 you know, politically was not feasible for him, he instead 337 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.839 just massively increased medical eligibility and capped it off by 338 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.599 offering medical eligibility to illegal aliens. And he now has 339 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.519 to roll that back because it costs billions and billions 340 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.519 of dollars more than he anticipated it would, So he 341 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:19.039 has to retreat even from that one of his signature 342 00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:24.960 policy quote achievements, and he's left with nothing. He said 343 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.640 he would try to do stuff to fix wildfires all throughout, 344 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.920 and then we had the worst wildfires ever in January 345 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.319 of twenty twenty five. He said he would do stuff 346 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.079 to fix almostness. Holmelessness is still a terrible problem. He 347 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.119 said he do stuff to help fix, help build more 348 00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:44.279 housing and housing affordability. Nothing has happened to improve that situation. 349 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:50.480 An issue after issue after issue he has failed. He 350 00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:54.640 has no real successes to hang his hat on other 351 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.119 than a couple of pot shots at Ron DeSantis and 352 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:01.480 Donald Trump and suing Donald Trump a lot. That's his 353 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:09.240 only success that he can claim. And so as a result, 354 00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:12.640 I sort of look at him like a wounded I mean, 355 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.759 maybe he doesn't see how wounded he is, and maybe 356 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.279 he's still mister confident or something, but I just don't 357 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:21.039 feel like he's got a shot. I feel like on 358 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.279 any debate stage, if there's any Democrat ambitious enough to 359 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.480 really go at him for his record, he has nothing. 360 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.240 He has nothing to hang his hat on. He has 361 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.279 no real accomplishments to hang his hat on, other than 362 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.920 expanding medical eligibility I guess which he's now had to 363 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.960 roll back in shameful embarrassment. So Dan Walters is always 364 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.640 a good read, writes for Calmutters dot org. He's writing 365 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:51.559 about how basically news and this often is a dynamic 366 00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:56.279 and sacramento. The governor has to be the adult in 367 00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:01.799 the room. Sometimes the members of the state legislator legislature, 368 00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.960 the Democrat state legislators and the Assembly and the state Senate, 369 00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:12.079 they're able to act like unaccountable left wing babies and 370 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:18.799 pass wild bills that are totally unaccountable, that aren't really responsible, 371 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.240 that refuse to look at the big picture, and that 372 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:23.759 look at the narrow picture of this pet cause that 373 00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:28.319 they have without acknowledging that, hey, we have a whole 374 00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:31.960 budget that we have to take care of. If we 375 00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.200 spend a lot of money on every single thing in 376 00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.319 the budget, the budget's going to be too bloated. We 377 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.880 have to cut things, we have to reduce spending on 378 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:43.319 certain things. A state budget like California's cannot permanently spend 379 00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:44.839 in the red the way that the federal government can. 380 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.440 The federal government can just keep printing money. State government 381 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:54.640 can't do that. So as a result, the governor and 382 00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.119 I don't care how liberal your governor is, Newsom has 383 00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.200 had to do this multiple multiple times over the course 384 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.440 of his term. Governor Jerry Brown had to do it 385 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:04.680 over his eight years as governor. They have to be 386 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.240 the adult in the room and they have to say 387 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.599 we're gonna cut this, we're gonna cut that, and we're 388 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:10.200 not going to pass this bill because it spends too 389 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.920 much money or that bill, and it's always kind of 390 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.119 angry Democrats. But this year, boy, there, I feel like 391 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.920 maybe the liberals in California are just like, look, he's 392 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:22.960 a lame duck. After this year, we don't have to 393 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.119 listen to him anymore. We don't care about alienating him anymore, 394 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.759 we don't have to work for him. You know, We've 395 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:29.920 got one more year with this guy and then we're 396 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.480 done with him. They just don't care as much about 397 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.880 alienating him again. Like I read the Planned Parenthood Federation 398 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.720 of California press release about some of Newsom's budget cuts, 399 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.920 which they say are going to result in a one 400 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.720 third cut of all California state funding that goes to 401 00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:54.359
