your support. I'm going to get into this new book
by Jake Tapper. I mean, I'm not going to read it.
It actually isn't even out yet. But all right, I
got two things to do regarding the topic from the
last hour, which actually started in the first hour and
then we continued last hour. But I have one message
and we have one phone call, so I'm going to
take one phone call. This is the last phone call
on the smartphones in classrooms topic. This is Carolyn. Welcome
to the program. Carol.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm going to rush out to you. I just
wanted to say the cell phone sort of has become
a human dependent pacifier and kind of like without it,
some can't function because most can't think on their own
with it.
Speaker 1: Without it, Yeah, it definitely breeds a dependency, right.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll let you go because I know you have
other call.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I appreciate yah, No, I appreciate it. It's
and that's part of the problem is it's not just
a dependency tool for you know, wasting time, right, but
for and you said thinking right people they don't It's like, oh,
I don't know the answer to something, so I'm just
going to google it, right, I'm just going to look
it up on my phone. And it becomes so dependent
to get answers to just everything. And while that can
be beneficial, no doubt about it, but it also can
be a crutch. You know, a crutch is a crutch
can be beneficial if you can't talk correctly because you know,
you've got a broken foot. A crutch is helpful, but
after a while, you don't want to be you don't
want to keep using it for the rest of your life.
It's only there for the temporary assistance, right. Bob says.
In my grade school days, we would get busted for
an earphone connected to a transistor AM radio during the
World Series. Smartphones in class my house, schools or teachers
have evolved. Yeah, well that's I mean, it's it's just
the technology. I remember reading a story about how when
they started putting radios in cars, there was a big
effort to ban them because they said they were a distraction.
So every new technology like this poses problems and questions
on their impact on society. And that's what we should
not expect anything less of the smartphones. And for anybody
to be making the argument that there's no impact or
its minimal impact, or it's necessary that the kids have them,
or whatever is to fly in the face of the
data that now is very clear going the other direction
on that. All right, So we have a new book
that's going to hit the shelves. I believe it's going
to be sometime. Yeah, it's coming out May twentieth, So
mark your calendars for the release of Original Sin, President
Biden's decline, its cover up, and his disastrous choice to
run again. It's being published by Penguin Press, and the
author is Jake Tapper of CNN. Yeah, Jake Tapper, the
truth teller extraordinaire, the one who was beating the drum
for all of us to be made aware, but we
wouldn't listen, right that Joe Biden was incognitive decline. Jake
Tapper kept telling us all the wait a minute, no,
he actually didn't. Yeah, so I have this story. This
is from CNN, and it's written by a potato, Brian Stelter,
and well he's yeah, he's a potato. Anyway, the day
after this is Brian Stelter writing a piece about his
colleague Jake Tapper, which, yeah, like, that's not a good look.
You're the media guy and you're writing a story about
how your colleague, Jake Tapper has a book where he's
going to blame the Bidens for covering up Joe Biden's
cognitive decline that we all saw, but nobody at CNN
could see, apparently because they were I guess deceived. They
were tricked. Ah, those Wiley Biden's they were able to
deceive and trick Tater and Jake Tapper all those years.
But now they're going to get to the bottom of this.
I am reminded of the man in the hot dog
costume promising to get to the bottom of whoever is
responsible for this. But anyway, the day after Donald Trump,
this is Tater's story. The day after Donald Trump won
the twenty twenty four election, CNN anchor Jake Tapper and
axio's correspondent Alex Thompson decided to co author a book
about what had led the Democratic Party to defeat, with
a focus on former President Joe Biden. There's so much
in this sentence and it's only one sentence. There's so
much in it though. The day after the election, Okay,
this is when Tapper and Thompson hatched the plan. Oh, sorry,
come up with the idea to cover up their cover
I mean, to get to the bottom of the cover up.
I'm sure it's coincidental, like, oh my gosh, Joe Biden lost. Actually,
Joe Biden didn't lose, right, Kamala Harris lost. So the
day after Harris loses, Tapper and Thompson hatched the plan. Sorry,
came up with the idea to write a book about
how this is all Joe Biden's fault. They say, that's
what it says with a So they come up with
the idea to write a book about what led to
the defeat with a focus on Joe Biden. So they
have a premise, they have a narrative already. The day
after the election, they have the narrative. Now, far be
it from me to suggest that a former press secretary
for a Democrat Congressman, Jake Tapper, would I don't know,
want to advance a certain narrative in order to help
the Democrat Party move past the debacle of the twenty
twenty four elections. Maybe, but I wouldn't suggest such a thing,
but maybe some other people might. Brian Stelter goes on,
by the way, he looks like a potato, and he
goes on to say that the deeply sourced reporters, Ah,
it's just so ridiculous. He's fawning over Jake Tapper, the
deeply sourced reporters. That's my Brian Stelter impression. The deeply
sourced reporters found what they call a cover up of
the former president's quote serious decline mm hmm by all
these other people, because you know, these are deeply sourced reporters.
Because see, that's what it takes in order to get
to the bottom of this massive cover up, this conspiracy,
dare I call it, to prevent us all from knowing
that Joe Biden was in cognitive decline. For y right,
there had to be some deeply sourced people that would
only talk to Jake Tapper and or Alex Thompson because
they're deeply sourced, the deeply sourced reporters. They've got deep
sources here people, they're close to the Biden family. Is
it would it be Kamala Harris? That would be would
it be anybody else in the White House? Look, if
you're talking to anybody else in the White House that
is going to tell you that the Bidens are to
blame for covering all of the sub that that then
that means that those sources knew it too, and they
didn't tell anybody, right or else? How would they know?
Because if they knew, if they're deeply sourced, that means
they knew what was going on and they didn't tell
anybody either. That would make them part of the conspiracy.
That would make them part of the cover up. Right,
it's not us, Right, it's not the deeply sourced sources.
Nor is it Jake Tapper or Alex Thompson. See, it's
not the media, it's not us. Look, I'm Jake Tapper.
I'm a serious news person. Right, I've been at CNN
for a very long time. I will dress down to
anybody that says Joe Biden's in mental decline. And then
after Kamala loses, after the coup that forced out Joe
Biden because everybody could finally see that he was incognitive decline.
Now we're going to find out who's responsible for this.
It's not me. It coincidentally and conveniently is only Joe
Biden and his family and his top circle of aids, right,
in other words, the radioactive people. Right, this is the
people responsible. The only people responsible are the ones whose
political service and careers are over, the ones who are done. No,
but he wants them around anything except maybe like some
Ukrainian gas company if you need some board of directors or.
Speaker 3: Something like that.
Speaker 1: But other than that, we don't need them anymore. So
they're the only ones responsible, right, Not me, Jake Tapper,
not me, Alex Thompson, not the people that were, you know,
paid to report on the White House, that sat in
the press briefings, that attended the very few, but still
they were. They occurred press availabilities with Joe Biden, like
Jake Tapper, and they couldn't tell. None of these people
could tell. They were hoodwinked. I guess by that wily
Joe Biden. He was able to Joe Biden was able
to deceive them, right, but not not you. You could
see it when you if you just watch him in
a speech, you could tell. You watch him after the speech,
and he can't find the way off the stage like
you could tell. I could tell. I wasn't even in
close proximity to the guy. I didn't get to sit
down interview with him like Jake Tapper did. And if
I had and he had dropped his cheat sheet, his
note card full of all of the answers to the questions,
I wouldn't have picked them up and handed them back
to him like Jake Tapper did. But Jake Tapper was deceived.
You see, he couldn't tell what was happening. Yeah, I'm
not buying it either, nor am I buying the book.
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 world in one place, so you can compare coverage
and verify information. You could check it out at check
dot ground, dot news slash pete. I put the link
in the podcast description too. I started using ground News
a few months ago and more recently chose to work
with them as an affiliate because it lets me see
clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind

So during the twenty twenty four election, before the coup,
Jake Tapper on CNN blew up at Lara Trump or
Laura Trump. I still don't know how to pronounce it,
because I always thought it was Laura Trump, but then
Donald Trump called her Lara Lara, and so then I thought, oh,
I've been mispronouncing it. So I started saying Lara Trump.
But then somebody told me, Oh, no, I think he
was just like joking or something. So now I don't know,
So I'm going to go with Laura Trump. Okay, but
Lara Trump or Lara Lara, Lara. Let me go with
Laura Laura Trump. She is on with Jake Tapper and
he has her come on, I think specifically to blindside
her with this accusation that she's mocking Joe Biden's stutter.
Did you know Joe Biden had a stutter? Did you
know that he beat it as a child, But then
apparently it came back, and it was not constantly. It
only came back every time Joe Biden appeared to show
cognitive decline, and then that was the stutter. That's remember
that when everybody was talking about the stutter, it's just
a stutter, and we all knew it wasn't a stutter.
A stutter doesn't make you say stupid things without a stutter, right,
That's not what a stutter does.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Oh, she is at some Republican women's event and she's
on stage with a couple of other people and they're
talking and she makes a joke, and so he has
her on the show and he plays this clip and
listen to the question and just the sneering condescension that
this narcissistic jerk throws at her in an attempt to
shame her right for mocking a man with a stutter.
Here it is every time.
Speaker 3: He comes on stage or they turn to him, I'm like, Joe,
can you get it out?
Speaker 1: Let's get the words out. Do you kind of feel
bad for him?
Speaker 4: How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that.
Speaker 3: First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden
ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see
on stage with Joe Biden Jake is very clearly a
cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: You are, No, that's so amazing. It's so amazing to me.
Speaker 3: That try and figure out an answer.
Speaker 1: A cognitive decline. You're trying to.
Speaker 3: Tell me that what I was suggesting was I think.
Speaker 4: That you were mocking his stutter. Yeah, I think you
were mocking his stutter. And I think you have absolutely
no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. I would think
that somebody in the pump family would be more sensitive
to people who do do not have medical licenses diagnosing
politicians from Afar. Plenty of people have diagnosed your father
from Afar, and I'm sure it offends you, your father
in law from a far I'm sure it defends you.
You don't have any standing to.
Speaker 3: Say, not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You just talked about.
Speaker 3: A cognitive decline.
Speaker 4: I have one last question for you.
Speaker 3: You can't time on stage, and it's very concerning to
a lot of people that this could be the leader
of the free world.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is all I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I genuine thank you, sorry for Joe, that's I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And then he shuts her down, So he turns down
her microphone, and then he shuts her down, and he's
and he's pushing back the whole time. How dare you
suggest cognitive Oh okay, uh huh, all right. Sure, he's
just like completely dismissing it, wanting to chalk it up
as her mocking a stutter, when in fact she's talking
about his cognitive decline. And when she says it, he
just loses it. By the way, the people that said
that very thing about Donald Trump said it all over
CNN airwaves, and Jake Tapper never challenged them on any
of that stuff. CNN never challenged people when they said,
I think I think Donald Trump is in cognitive decline.
Look at the way he's standing and he's leaning forward
on the bowls of his feet, and that's indicative of
this type of syndrome that occurs in the elderly. And
like people were making all of these diagnoses all over
the place, and nobody ever stood up to those diagnoses.
And it's not a diagnosis. Anybody who has had anybody
in their life who has gotten older, become elderly, and
you see the physical decline, I can see it. I
don't need to be a doctor to see with my
own eyes physical frailty or cognitive decline, particularly for a
man who has spent the last seven thousand years in
public service. Right. Joe Biden has been a fixture in
American politics longer than I have been alive. And if
you play any clip of Joe Biden from his first
presidential run in the nineteen eighty election, I think it
was or maybe eighty four, when he was lying up
and down and got caught plagiarizing and had to drop
out of that race. You do any kind of comparison,
It is very very clear to anybody with eyes and
a willingness to see. And that's how Jake Tapper reacted
when it was suggested that Joe Biden was incognitive decline.
But now Jake Tapper wants me to believe and you
to believe in all of America to believe that he's
going to get to the bottom in his book. He's
going to get to the bottom of the cover up
of Joe Biden's mental decline, that he's going to be
the one to tell this story. You who had eyes
to see but refused to do so, Jake Tapper and
attacked anybody who pointed this out. You're going to apologize
to everybody for that. You're going to apologize to Lara Trump.
I'm not holding my breath. 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 Ashville is your connection. Whether
you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to
play a memorable proposal or get family and friends together

Russ regarding the Jake Tapper book. He says, I feel
like Rush or another vaunted WBT host, has pointed out
how many media personalities keep a lid on stories that
could sway elections, only to write a book after there's
nothing we can do with that knowledge. That is correct.
Rush Limbaugh used to talk about this, and the first
time I heard him mention it, I started paying more
attention to it, and he was right, like, you see
it happen so many times. After the election's over. Now
the story can be told. But what makes this one
even more egregious is that it's Jake Tapper, who spent
four years, you know, arguing with people, denigrating people, yelling
at them, dismissing them, anybody that would suggest that Joe
Biden was suffering from cognitive decline. In fact, here is
a clip, it's a montage. It starts off with Jake
Tapper interviewing jd Vance.
Speaker 5: You guys talked about the Russia hoax NonStop.
Speaker 4: The FBI was investigating it. The FBI was investigating it.
So we recovered that.
Speaker 5: And so you took the words of unnamed FBI agents
and put them on your network as if they were
the gospel truth. You did it again and again. A
view of your network would have believed that Donald Trump
and Vladimir Putin conspired in twenty sixteen. That was totally,
im preposterously false.
Speaker 4: Now, well, that's what you just said, is boss. And
Trump has gone to quote extraordinary lengths to keep specifics
about his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin secret, even
keeping them from top members of his own administration. Take
a listen to how President Trump responded Saturday night when
asked directly if he has ever worked for Russia.
Speaker 1: I think it's the most insulting thing I've ever been asked.
I think it's the most insulting article I've ever had written.
Speaker 4: The President did not directly answer the question, and it's
a it's a stunning turn of events. Do you think
the President of the United States ever worked on behalf
of the Russians against American interests?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like, that's the stuff that Jake Tapper pedaled. All
of these things that he could talk about. I'm just
asking questions here, right, All of these things that he
could throw out there against Donald Trump were all perfectly fine, Right,
But how dare you even suggest that Joe Biden might
be suffering from cognitive decline? Here's a montage put together
by Tom Elliott at Graby and Media.
Speaker 4: How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that.
Speaker 3: It's very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: It's so amazing. It's so amazing to me that.
Speaker 3: Trying to figure out an.
Speaker 4: Answer cognitive declared heresident Biden embraces his stutter talking about it,
while Trump, mock said, exaggerates it, belittles it. He's sharp physically,
I mean mentally, Yeah, I think the question is physically
right right or.
Speaker 5: So right right?
Speaker 4: And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three
or four years younger than him. Maybe, I mean, you
have questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness, ability to lead.
Of those supporting Biden, you said, quote, shame on all
of you pretending everything is okay. You're leading us in
him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged
him at all? I don't doubt that you got hugs
And this is dcha behind closed doors today and maybe
even publicly, some of them because they like you personally.
But I've heard a lot of really nasty stuff about
you from your Democratic colleagues. I mean, just like, what
is he thinking? Exercise in narcissism? I mean false claims
to the Wall Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness
and acuity. He's eighty one and his memory. You know,
it doesn't seem great. It's not horrible, but I don't
understand the outrage. Quote behind closed doors, Bidens shows signs
of slipping quote The Wall Street Journal is owned by NewsCorp,
which is run by the Murdocks. Beyond the headline, there
is some critical nuance here. The article is mostly based
on observations of Republicans, with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the
only one going on the record. They do note in
the article that most of the criticism comes from Republicans.
Have you heard any concerns from anyone who has met
with President Biden about seeming a little slower? Now the
Russians are trying to do to make us in the
public not trust the our election integrity. Joe Biden has
dimension all this stuff right.
Speaker 1: That's how Jake Tapper covered the obvious fact that Joe
Biden was in cognitive decline. And now he has a book.
President Biden's decline, its cover up, and his disastrous choice
to run again. Penguin Press is the publisher. It put
out a statement heralding the book. What you will learn
makes President biden decision to run for reelections seemed shockingly narcissistic,
self delusional, and reckless, a desperate bet that went bust,
and part of a larger act of extended public deception
that has few precedents. Biden, his family, and his senior
aides were so convinced that only he could be Trump
again they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about
his condition and limitations. That's the press release from the publisher.
That is precisely what people have been saying for five
years about Joe Biden. And it's the thing that prompted
the ire of Jake Tapper, who now apparently is going
to write a book to tell us all that we
were right and he was wrong. But he's not going
to say he was wrong. Right. Tapper, you'll recall, was
the freaking moderator at that debate. Tapper and Thompson Wright
in their book quote what the world saw at Joe
Biden's one and only debate was not an anomaly. It
was not a cold. It was not someone who was
under or over prepared. It was not someone who was
just a little tired. It was the natural result of
an eighty one year old man whose faculties had been
diminishing for years. Who's to blame, well, not me, says
Jake Tapper. Biden, his family, and his team let their
self interest and fear of another Trump term justify trying
to put an at times adduled old man in the
Oval office for four more years. What was the extent
of it? Was it a cover up? Was it a conspiracy?
We will let the fact speak for themselves. See again,
keep in mind Biden, the Biden family, the close circle
that were named in that Wall Street Journal piece that
Jake Tapper just mocked and dismissed and you said, we
can't really trust them. That's Fox News Corps, right, the
same people that were identified as the ones that created
the bubble around Joe Biden and stiff armed anybody from
getting close to him so as to protect the precious
right to keep the lid on it, make sure Joe
Biden didn't have any kind of interactions with people who
might say, oh gosh, he's incognitive. The client, right, We're
supposed to believe now that the blame is only on them,
and that they tricked Jake Tapper, that Jake Tapper didn't
know any of this, He couldn't see with his own eyes, right,
And why because those people are now politically expendable. They
are done. Everyone in the Democrat Party knows it. That
whole crowd is done. And so now they can go
under the bus there to blame, not us. We were
tricked too. You know, stories are powerful. They help us

Tapper with a book to tell us why he's not
to blame it. The hubris of these people right to
now get out there with a straight face and pitch
to me a book about a thing that I said
was occurring, and you said was occurring, but they said
was not, and that we are crazy for saying it.
And now you're going to come and tell me I
should buy your book to read what I identified. You identified.
But Jake Tapper couldn't being that close, right, being that
close to the throne of power and sniffing on it
as he has done for so long. The key is
that he's not to blame. That's what the book is about.
I don't even think he cares if anybody buys the book.
The point I mean, well, he is going to give.
He would very much prefer a lot of people buy
the book sure, of course, but this is ret counting.
They're going to throw the Bidens under the bus, and
they're going to absolve themselves of any culpability in what
is likely the greatest presidential scandal in American history. And
it's why the trust in the media is so low.
It's why nobody believes them. Gallup had a new poll out,
they released some latest numbers, and it's trust a media
has never been lower. It's at a historical low. And
this is why Alex Thompson from Axios, who's also a
CNN contributor, actually had an earlier book deal to write
about Biden's presidency. His original publisher, Simon and Schuster, withdrew
the contract in twenty twenty three. Politico called it a
further reflection of the soft market for books about Joe Biden.
It's like, yeh, woudn't really want to read it? I do,
I do believe that. But the book industry perceptions now
have apparently changed. After Biden dropped out of the race
and endorsed Harris, and even more so after Harris lost
to Trump, Tapper and Thompson decided to zoom in on
what they dub Biden's original sin, which was his decision
to run for a second term. That's the sin. That's
the original sin. It's not his running for the first term.
That wasn't That wasn't the original sin. Let me jump
over to Ace of Spades. Ace comments dot mu dot you.
I don't understand why the website is titled that, but
Ace of Spades I started reading him, like I don't know,
back in like two thousand and eight or something. And
here's what he calls this. Tapper's book is an attempt
to save the media from the public's accurate assessment that
the media covered up Biden's dementia to rig an election.
His searing investigation will put the blame squarely on Joe Biden,
Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Frank Biden, and the five or
six top Biden aides. None of these people have any
future in politics. They were part of a failed and
fraudulent presidency. The Democrat Party will not be making use
of their services in the future. Like you are done,
We are done with you, bye bye, and so you're
going to take the fall for all of this, which
really is kind of poetic justice, right for Joe Biden,
who spent his entire career, trying to convince us all
that his was a career of note, that his was
a legacy worth honoring. And this is how we will
be remembered right as the venal and completely average intellect
and corrupt person that he was. So that means now
it's safe for what Ace of Spades calls fake Jake
Tapper fake Jake to dump all responsibility for the cover
up on these people and them alone. The media will
be protected from scrutiny. Fake Jake will regale us with
stories of brave journalists who desperately wanted to report the
truth but were spun up with stories about Joe's childhood stutter.
The courageous truth tellers were completely deceived by this perfect
mephistophiles level deception. You see, they tried their best, but
Joe Biden's famously competent messaging machine just snowed them all over. Right,
even Democrat officials like Nancy Pelosi, hakeem Jeffreys, Chuck Schumer,
and all all the other Democrat congressmen who covered this
up and lied to the public about Biden winning go
tournaments when the cameras weren't looking. We'll be spared, you see,
Biden threatened them he had his doctor explained to them
about his phantom childhood stutter, so they too were all innocent.
In fact, if they were guilty of anything, it was
trusting too much. That's the story that you're going to
get told. And in the old days, that would have
been enough, that would have set the narrative, that would
have completed the loop right on the cover up. But
these ain't the old days anymore, and I don't think
Jake Tapper has gotten the memo. All right, that'll do
it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
