much for your support. So I mentioned in the last
on the last topic, the three big stories right that
NPR blue over the last five years, right, the Russia hoaks,
the COVID lab leak theory, and the Hunter Biden laptop story.
All of those three stories, they were on the wrong
side of and promoted misinformation, disinformation and everything else. But
there was another story, and it's the greatest political scandal
in American history. I have said this before. It is
Joe bid Biden's mental cognitive decline. And now it can
be told right now. Okay, now we're going to get
the books and we're going to get the articles that Okay, yeah,
everybody kind of did know this, and I've already covered
a couple of these quote revelations, We've got more now.
So this is our friend Stacy Matthews at RedState dot
com and she found this clip from The Young Turks.
That's a leftist progressive YouTube show, right the host Chenk Youger,
and he's interviewing a guy named Michael l Rosa. Michael
LaRosa worked for Joe Biden's twenty twenty presidential campaign. He
was Jill Biden, sorry, Doctor Jill Biden's only press secretary, okay,
and then when Biden won, Losa became the first Lady's
press secretary, but he didn't last very long. He resigned
in the summer of twenty twenty two, so about two
years into the gig, right after Doctor Jill's breakfast taco debacle,
remember that one where she mispronounced the word bodega's and
and said something like you, this community is is as
diverse as the breakfast tacos in San Antonio or something
like this, Oh my gosh, like breakfast tacos to the
Hispanic organization she was speaking in front of. Anyway, so
that I guess precipitated this guy Lorosa's exit from the post. Okay.
Since then, l Rosa has made some concerning a missions
about what he says went on in the Biden White House.
For instance, in February, he said, quote the President's team
was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed anything.
They couldn't compete for the attention economy. I would say,
in the attention economy, they couldn't compete.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 1: We were always from day one cognizant that age was
an issue. He also admitted at that time in February
that the quote gaslighting people accused Biden's handlers of engaging
in regard. He said that Biden's handlers were engaged in
gas lighting whenever anybody asked questions about his cognitive health,
and that they all knew, they all knew, and then
they would just lie about it and light us. And
you may recall we had an example of that occur
right here on WBT when our news director got an
interview with caringe Jeanpierre, and he asked her flat out
does he have dementia? And she got all outraged over
it and proceeded to gaslight Mark Garrison, the news director,
and the audience, all of us that heard it. So
now we have this interview with Michael LaRosa on the
Young Turks with Chenk Yuger, and here's what Michael Lo
Rosa says.
Speaker 2: How do you bully the press? What do you threat?
Speaker 3: Well, look, there were a lot of ways. I mean,
I thought it was weird that they only did interviews
for quote approval. There was this thing in Biden world
about quote approval. Everything had to be on quote approval.
So you talk to your reporter, but like one person
decides what there can use, what quotes they can use.
There was weird things like that. I mean, you saw
them get Paul trying to script questions to radio reporters
that summer or summer of twenty twenty four. It was
very reminiscent to me of being on the campaign in
twenty twenty where these young press staffers in these states
like New Hampshire or Iowa or Nevada, they were sort
of like dog trained to make the questions conditional for interviews.
And I said to them, please never ask the journalists
for the questions ahead of time. You can always ask
about the topics, but do not ask them for the questions, right.
Speaker 1: That's standard, By the way, that is a standard thing Hey,
what do you want to talk about? And then you'll
throw out, oh, I wanted to ask the person about,
you know, how the campaign's going just a broad topic,
so they have an understanding of what they're going to
be talking about, So you could throw out the topics.
You don't give them the questions, nor if anybody ever.
And I've had people ask me that, well, what kind
of questions you want to ask? Like, I'm not going
to tell you all questions I'm asking. I'm not going
to give you a list of the questions. I'm going
to tell you it's going to be about a topic
that's standard. This is so so far what he's directing
these staffers about is completely appropriate.
Speaker 2: Or doctor Biden.
Speaker 3: And they said, well, that's what you know the other
side tells us to do for him. I said, that's okay, fine,
that's their problem. You know, my job was to protect him,
my boss, and they could handle their we call it
the boy's side. The boys team could do their thing
with regard to prepping him for interviews.
Speaker 2: But I did not want that.
Speaker 3: I knew from being a you know, a former producer
at NBC, having long relationships in the press, it was
just like one oh one.
Speaker 2: It was really unethical to be doing that, but these
young kids.
Speaker 3: Are really ought to make at a part of their
sort of pre pre screening for interviews.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pre screening for interviews for the boys team
Joe Biden's side, that they would get the questions from
the reporters pre approval on the quotes. And this was
in twenty twenty, so this is like twenty nineteen actually,
because it was the twenty twenty campaign, right, So this
goes back to twenty nineteen, so they knew before he
even won the first time pre COVID. Right. One series
of incidents that comes to mind was what was happened
in the aftermath of the disastrous June twenty twenty four
debate performance against Donald Trump, when it was revealed that
leftist radio hosts this is what Lrossa mentioned, agreed in
advance to ask certain White House slash Biden campaign approved
questions during the quote interviews, which were designed to reassure
voters and make his nightmarish debate appearance look like a
one off. Right, this was the cleanup, this was the
damage control, and he went out to do these radio
interviews with friendlies, with scripted questions. Glenn Greenwald, independent journalist guy.
He said the most significant media scandal of the Biden
years was how they did not just hide what the
public knew Biden's severe cognitive decline to the point that
he couldn't even remotely govern, but their aggressive attacks on
anybody pointing it out and calling it disinformation, calling them
disinformation agents. Right, you had media doing this and they
knew because if you did any interviews with Biden, you
had to submit your questions, you had to get him preapproved,
and then anybody was like, hey, he's got a list
of the questions. Look look at the picture, and they
would attack you, they would gaslight. This is why it's
the biggest scandal. Who was actually signing all of those
executive orders, who was actually governing, who was making foreign
policy decisions. Maybe now it can be told. All right,
if you're listening to this show, you know I try
to keep up with all sorts of current events, and
I know you do too, And you've probably heard me
say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've
been so impressed with Ground News. It's an app and
it's a website and it combines news from around the

part of this clip again, this is from Stacy Matthews
over at RedState dot com. She writes under the numb
diplume of the Sister Toldja that was the name of
her original blog, going back probably I guess twenty years
maybe At this point, I mean, she was like one
of the og bloggers. And she pulls this clip that
came from the young Turks Progressive YouTube channel, and the
host Chenk Yuger is interviewing Michael LaRosa. Loosa worked for
Joe Biden's twenty twenty presidential campaign, but he worked for
doctor Jill. He worked as her press secretary, and then
when they won, he went to work in the First
Lady's press shop as the press secretary. Okay, And he's
talking about in this interview how they would get the
questions from all of the reporters for Joe, and he
always said, don't do that for Jill, but for Joe.
That's how their side operated. All of the staffers would
get all of the questions ahead of time from the journalists.
And here you're gonna hear the host, Chenk Juger, he's
gonna express disbelief that basically the secret got kept.
Speaker 2: It's amazing to me that no one in the press
complained about it.
Speaker 3: So well, you know, I kind of always wondered that myself,
like why didn't any of these reporters, even in New
Hampshire and some of these small town papers or local news, like, why.
Speaker 2: Didn't anybody ever say anything?
Speaker 3: I thought it was so weird at the time, But
it was my first president to a campaign, I'm thinking, Okay,
maybe these people know better than I do. But no,
it was just I learned over the course of the
next four years, and I learned a lot last summer.
Just they just how bad their instincts actually are, and
how their instincts really didn't serve the president very well
because no matter how hostile they were or how punitive
they were to the reporters covering Biden his press, his
press coverage never improved.
Speaker 2: In fact, it only got worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they actually did a disservice. This is another Uh,
it's another example. Uh, And I talk about you know,
the left has become intellectually flabby because they are never challenged.
Resistance to pressure builds strength. And they were trying to
protect Joe because he obviously could not handle unscripted questions.
They wanted to limit the gaffs, and they wanted to
mask his cognitive decline, and then the whole thing blew up.
And also that the coverage wasn't beneficial for him, because
even if you're demanding the questions of the media right now,
it might work for you, but the people who are
engaged in that behavior, they may not all be cool
with that. But they feel like they've got to go
along with it in order to get the interview, and
that's what they were prizing. But they didn't like the
fact that you were doing this to them. So you
did a disservice. You made your candidate weaker by trying
to protect them or him from everything. And he also
mentioned there that their instincts were just bad. The staffers,
their instincts on this were just bad. Then there's this story.
This is from Jonathan Turley. He has a blog Jonathan
Turley dot org dot org, and he's highlighting a quote
from Dan Goldman. Remember him. He was one of the
star lawyers in the impeachment of Donald Trump, and then
he parlayed that into a run for Congress as a
Democrat from New York and he is now in Congress.
And Dan Goldman is one of those guys that thinks
he's way smarter than he actually is, and he's a lawyer,
which makes him like a particularly potent sort of stupid.
So Turley, also a constitutional law professor, legal expert guy himself.
He says, for many of us who were long active
in Democrat politics, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize
the party as a new generation of foul mouthed I
went over that yesterday, right, with this strategy of using
profanity because they think it makes them seem authentic. It's
like that now, especially if you're not a cusser, you know,
and you don't use them, well, you don't know how
to drop the cuss words at the appropriate time for
the correct emphasis. It doesn't make you look authentic. Actually
quite the opposite. But again, it's just this like cheap
trick that they're trying to turn or trying well, they're
trying to do this cheap trick because they don't have
a strategy other than to curse. More right, that's again
you're intellectually flabby. You have not been served well by
your alliance and protection with the media, them not asking
you hard probing questions, the why question, Why are you
doing that? Why do you believe this? Why is this
the right policy? Let's explore that, you know, idea or
this proposal whatever. They don't ask for those types of details.
They just accept the slogans, and that makes you flabby.
So he's like, I don't even recognize this, this new
iteration of the party, this new generation of foul mouthed censorship,
supporting mob enabling leaders that have taken over. That sense
returned this week when Representative Daniel Goldman claimed that the
FBI investigating attacks on Tesla cars and facilities is nothing
but lawfare and political weaponization. That's what this lawyer guy says.
Dan Goldman, a lawyer, says that the FBI investigating attacks
on Tesla, its vehicles, it's dealerships, whatever, That that's lawfare.
That this is political weaponization. Using the FBI to investigate
domestic terrorism because it has to do with Tesla, that
that's weaponization. Goldman had nothing to say about weaponization when
the FBI was being turned loose on pro lifers standing
silently outside of an abortion clinic or or the parents
showing up at the school board meetings. Right, no problems
with lawfare or political weaponization. There, no, no no. Goldman's
latest controversy captures how Democrats have now entirely cut the
cords of decency and moderation that once tethered their party
to the mainstream of our society. Democratic leaders have been
fueling these attacks on Musk and his companies. Here's a
great idea, how about making an escape to a really
special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a
quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is
your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe
you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family

they have pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two, eight, three, six,
seven seventy sixty eight, or check out all there is
to offer at cabins Offashville dot com and make memories
that'll last a lifetime. Jonathan Turley Constitutional law expert Guy
Riding at his blog Jonathan Turley dot Org about Daniel Goldman,
Congressman from New York, who said the following quote speaking
about the FBI in investigating the attacks on Tesla dealerships
and such, he said, quote, this is the political weaponization
of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend
his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task
force to use our law enforcement to crack down on
adversaries of Musks. Where are the Republicans so opposed to lawfare?
This is so stupid. It's against the law, dude. It's
against the law to engage in this kind of vandalism
and violent behavior. And to whatever extent it's being funded
and organized by organizations, then there could be RICO implications racketeering, right,
and that is something that the FBI does in fact investigate.
Tarlie goes on to say it is clearly political violence
orchestrated against an American company and American proper owners, including
individual citizens, to push consumers away from buying Musks products.
It sounds a lot, he says, and these attacks sound
a lot like the definition of terrorism. The Justice Department
defines domestic terrorism as quote violent criminal acts committed by
individuals and or groups to further ideological goals stemming from
domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial,
or environmental nature. That sounds yeah, that sounds like what
we're seeing. It is political violence. It is designed to
intimidate and harm people with opposing political views. It meets
the definition very clearly. So the Democrats have long been
accused of belittling or dismissing the seriousness of such crimes.
He says, there is a sense of license among some
on the left in carrying out attacks on those on
the right. I'm so glad to hear somebody like Jonathan
Turley say this. He is a well respected individual in
you know, law and in government and policy debates and such,
and he is identifying I've been talking about this. I did,
I did, I've done it many many episodes, many topics
related to this. This sense that he calls a sense
of license that political violence is okay when we do
it on the left. It's the same thing with Biden's
cognitive decline, right, Like, I can see this happening, and
if I can see it, I know other people can
see it too. And then you get gas lit by
people are like, oh, he's fine, he's sharp as attack. Yeah,
he's doing jumping Jackson, running circles around the young staffers.
We can't even keep up with him, right, the lies.
And now you've got this Goldman guy saying that, oh,
this is law fare. This is the weaponization of the
DOJ against domestic terrorists, against people blowing up Tesla dealerships.
That's he says. What few today want to admit he's
talking about lefties. What very few people want to admit
is that they like it. They like the violence, They
like the attacks on their political opponents. They like the
freedom that it affords, the ability to hate and harass
without a sense of responsibility. It is evident all around us,
as people engage in language and conduct that they repudiate
in others, we have become a nation of rage addicts,
flailing against anybody or anything that stands in opposition to
our own truths. Yeah, Jonathan Turley dot Org. It's a
lengthier piece. I just gave you the highlights there, so
well worth the uh the visit. He it's a it's
a great website. He does a lot of great analysis
over there. I mentioned the uh sharp as Attack that
is actually a copyright, a registered trademark I believe of
Ed Morrissey over at hot air dot com. I'm just kidding,
but he puts a little R next to it, the
sharpest attack, Uh, regarding Joe Biden's mental acuity. Right, Well,
there's another installment in the now it can be told saga.
Over at the Guardian they have a preview of a
of a book that's soon to be released by Jonathan
Allen and Amy Parnis. The name of the book is
called Fight Inside, the Wildest Battle for the White House,
and Allen and Parness detail what happened in the general
election last year when Biden was forced to withdraw after
the exposure of his cognitive impairment. However, while both the
White House and the protection racket media kept insisting that
Joe Biden was more vital than staffers half his age
and sharp as Attack, Kamala Harris's staff felt it necessary
to draw up plans in case Biden died, and they
drew up these plans in twenty twenty two. And I
know what you're thinking, Well, isn't this normal? Right? I mean,
he was, you know, eighty years old. You would naturally
have some plans if he were to pass away given
his age, right COVID All right, all of it. So
isn't that normal?
Speaker 3: Hmmm?
Speaker 1: Yes, and not really. Ed Morrisey will explain in a second.
Here's the part of the of the excerpt from their book,
Aids to Harris, the Vice President who assumed the nomination
then lost to Trump, that these aids had strategized around
the possibility that Biden might die in office. Such planning
was led by Jamal Simmons, Harris's White House communications director.
According to the book, they went as far as the
drawing up of a death pool roster of federal judges
who might swear Harris in. Simmons never told the Vice
President about the death pool roster before leaving her camp
in January of twenty twenty three, but he advised colleagues
that he should still be notified immediately if something happened
to Biden, because he had worked out an entire communication strategy,
and he left the spreadsheet with another Harris aid, Okay,
so is this the kind of planning that takes place
in any administration? Maybe, but that kind of planning would
normally involve the president, right, Donald Trump probably has already
planned for this kind of a contingency, right, or would
have at least probably discussed it with JD. Vance, especially
after he survived two assassination attempts.
Speaker 3: Right ed.
Speaker 1: Morrisy says this effort that these reporters detail in their book,
This effort was conducted behind Joe Biden's back, and apparently
behind Kamala Harris's back too. If Joe Biden was involved
in the planning, it would not have been quarterbacked by
Jamal Simmons, it would not have been operating out of
the Vice President's office. So no, this is not business
as usual. This took place in secret because everybody knew
that Biden was neither running rings around his staffers nor
was he sharp as attack. That's why he wasn't brought
in Morris, he says. Allen and Parnes in their book
also report that top DNC officials knew Biden had run
out of gas well before the June twenty seventh debate.
In fact, they knew about Biden's cognition issues before the
DNC cooked the primary rules to prevent any competitive challenge
to the crumbling incumbent. Quote. A handful of Democratic National
Committee officials already had considered contingency plans in hush hush
talks that began in twenty twenty three. These officials at
the DNC gained out various Biden withdrawal scenarios. They wanted
to make sure that the party was ready for every
possible circumstance, and yet DNC officials began restructuring the primaries
to lockout challengers. Rather than force Biden to compete honestly
for the nomination, the DNC covered up Biden's incapacity instead,
and made sure that it stayed covered up for as
long as possible. That's what these guys divulge in their book.
Did they know at the time?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Limbaugh used to talk about this all the time, that
all these reporters, they withhold all of this information for
their own book deals, and they keep it from us,
the voters until after the election. This is the worst
example of it, all, right, So Spring is here a

a message from good Wahoo on Twitter who says who
was running the Biden administration, Obama, his handlers and their minions.
This was Obama and their third term. Right, this was
Obama's third term. And he says, I believe most people
with any political sense know this, but many fear to
say so because Obama was the anointed one who shall
not be criticized. Yeah, we're gonna find out, like there
was the auto pen person like I've never even heard
of this person, the one that was signing the President's
name to all of these things, like they're this is
this is a story and a scandal that is not
going away because the further away we get, especially at
some point, you know, when Joe Biden passes away, then
I think you're going to hear a lot more stuff
come out if it happens anytime soon. And I'm not
saying I wanted to. I'm just saying, like I think
like that would create the space, that would create a
safe space, or you know, I don't know, maybe people
are too afraid, yeah to cross Obama not sure. I
don't know. I don't know if he's even in charge
anymore in the party. I I can't tell. So do
you hear about Corey Bush's husband, Corey Bush, the former
Democrat congresswoman from Missouri. Her husband apparently built taxpayers out
of more than twenty thousand dollars in a COVID loan
scheme and then used the money for his personal benefit
and enjoyment. According to the DCUs Attorney's Office, guy's name
is Courtney Merits. He was charged in a federal indictment
with two counts of wire fraud related to allegedly fraudulent
applications that he had filed with a Small Business administration
in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one that allowed him
to collect and never repay government funds from the pandemic
era Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program and the Paycheck Protection Program.
Merits received a loan from the EIDL of eighty five
hundred dollars for his moving business, and then certified that
his company, Vetted Couriers, had six employees and generated thirty
two thousand dollars in gross revenue the previous year. The
day after he got that loan, he filed another application
through the same program for a different business, which he
identified only as Courtney Merits his name, and claimed that
he employed ten people and generated fifty three thousand dollars
in revenue. Now, the SBA rejected those applications. The DCUs
attorney's office claims that Merits lied about the number of
employees he had and his revenues. Then a year later,
Merits once again seeks taxpayer money in the form of
a PPP loan for Courtney Merits. This time he claimed
his business was created in twenty twenty and generated one
hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars in gross income. Those
claims were also fortunate fraudulent did not get those loans either.
The indictment did not include details of what exactly he
blew the cash on for the SBA loans, but he
did get Sorry, he did get the twenty thousand dollars
loan from the PPP, which makes you wonder like you
got rejected for the SBA loans, but why did you
get the PPP loan. An attorney for Merits said that
his client intends to plead not guilty.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: So Corey Bush is this guy's wife. She was a
member of the squad member. She lost her last reelection
in twenty twenty four. She is not accused of any wrongdoing,
although in twenty twenty three she was hit with an
FEC and Congressional Ethics complaint over money that her campaign
had paid to Merits when he was providing her security.
Remember that even though he didn't have any life to
be a security agent. She yeah, oh, and she was
also doing this at a time when she was demanding
that we defund the police, right. Yeah, she's a big
advocate for defunding the police. But then paying her husband
with campaign money. She used campaign funds for personal use
when she shelled out sixty thousand dollars to her husband,
but then she married him. I think they were dating before. Yeah,
they were dating, and then she gave him the money
and then he married her. At the same time the
Bush campaign was paying Merits for security, it was also
spending two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars on a
Saint Louis based firm called Peace Security, and another fifty
thousand dollars on another security guard named Nathaniel Davis. I
don't think she married that guy. The Justice Department was
reportedly investigating Bush last year over her use of money
intended for members of Congress and candidate to spend on
private security. Yeah, so she just said, oh, yeah, you
can't be too safe. What else a Democrat US senator
is being accused of voting for millions of dollars in
taxpayer funds to go to a consulting company owned by
his wife. This is Sheldon white House. The Foundation for
Accountability and Civic Truck Trust called on the Senate Ethics
Committee to investigate Democrat Senator Sheldon white House of Rhode Island,
the guy who goes to the whites only clubs, you know,
to determine whether he violated Senate Ethics rules on conflicts
of interest. The alleged conflict of interest relates to funding
that benefited the Ocean Conservancy, that is a nonprofit linked
to his wife, Sandra white House. The organization called fact
said that the senator's wife had been paid a total
of two point six y eight six million from the
Ocean Conservancy, either directly or through her consulting firm. The
senator's wife has been the president of the consulting firm,
Ocean Wonks LLC, since back in twenty seventeen, and directly
employed at the Ocean Conservancy since two thousand and eight.
So she's like double dipping here. She's got the she's
got the consulting firm, and she's an employee. The complaint
said the Ocean Conservancy paid the senator's wife through the
consulting firm. White House is known as a climate policy hawk,
and he supports bills that directly benefited Ocean Conservancy, which
has reportedly received more than fourteen million dollars in federal
grants since two thousand and eight. The group received the
grants to help fund marine debris cleanup efforts. They deny
any wrongdoing. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
