[00:00:28] There might be a chance of, now, I almost said it, didn't I? And if you say it, you kind of curse it. If you're down at the coast or about anywhere, North Carolina lore, as my friend Joe Bastardi would say, and he's a fascinating weather scientist, he said, North Carolina lore, if you hear thunder in the winter, then nine, 10 days later, something like that, you get snow. My mother used to say that. Oh, there was thunder at the beach, we're going to get snow. Like, probably not, Mom, it's the beach. Probably not going to, but sometimes it does.

[00:00:58] So, if you look at weather forecasting, which is akin to Nostradamian crystal ball looking in things, it's witchcraft in a way. I'll say that because I can. It's witchcraft. Then there are some weather ensembles, there are European models, and there are U.S. models, and there are model models, and there are lots of models, and no models that walk down catwalks in weather, but lots of models that try to get it right, but they don't.

[00:01:23] They are kind of congruous that it's going to get very, very cold in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. In fact, all the way down into Florida, they're looking at the potential of a freeze for the citrus crops in Florida.

[00:01:38] It could be very damaging. Now, in addition to that, there are several ensembles, for lack of a better word. You know the spaghetti models you see when you see the hurricanes, everybody has a prediction about which the storm is going to do.

[00:01:49] There are spaghetti-adjacent models that show quite a bit of wind tree stuff heading into the area in that time frame, so somewhere after the 8th of January, and that that cold weather pattern could persist as 1985 or 83 in the Tennessee area, but that a lot of cold, the way the jet stream is, that a lot of different things are going to come together, and we would have a real winter here in North Carolina.

[00:02:18] Just throwing that out there. I'm not going to read a lot of details. There's a lot you can look for yourself, look at it, and go check things out for yourself and find it.

[00:02:25] Now, I get a little happy about that. I love winter weather. If you could put me on skis and throw me out there, I would love, love, love to have a good time, but we'll see.

[00:02:35] I don't get that opportunity much because of where I live, and look, I grew up in Puerto Rico.

[00:02:40] You know when we had snow? Never. You know when we had below freezing? Never. You know when it got into the 50s? Never.

[00:02:46] Never when I was there. I remember we would go to the beach in December, January, February, and the Puerto Ricans would look at us like we were crazy, and it was just lovely.

[00:02:55] But for Puerto Ricans, it was like upper 70s. That's too cold. Too cold to water us.

[00:03:00] Now, turning our attention back to Jimmy Carter for a minute, we had talked last week about Obama receiving the Nobel Prize just upon being elected.

[00:03:10] So the trivia question for you, and Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for looking at international conflicts,

[00:03:18] and you want to believe that things like the World Health Organization are not political.

[00:03:23] You want to believe that places like the UN are not political. They are.

[00:03:29] And you want to believe that the Nobel Peace Prize, you want to believe in, you know, when you're a kid and you're coming along and you hear that,

[00:03:36] that's such a great thing, the Nobel Peace Prize. I guess the guy who invented dynamite gets a prize named after him.

[00:03:40] And it rewards great achievements in humankind, these wonderful upright primates that communicate with written and verbal languages that record history,

[00:03:52] that are capable of such horrid things, are also capable of greatness.

[00:03:57] And you want to believe that the Nobel Committee, when it's looking at arts and sciences and PE,

[00:04:03] that it really takes into account all of these things and awards prizes.

[00:04:08] So the question for you, if you were to look back in history from the time the Nobels are created,

[00:04:13] of any president, of any Republican president or vice president, I don't care, I'm not going to be picky,

[00:04:19] that ever received the Nobel Peace Prize.

[00:04:23] And you can Google it. It's obviously easy to Google it.

[00:04:26] But if I were to just ask you, you wouldn't probably be able to name one.

[00:04:32] And if I were to say how many presidents or vice presidents received the Nobel Prize,

[00:04:38] I've named two because you knew that Jimmy Carter, because we mentioned that in his passing.

[00:04:42] And you knew Barack Obama because, well, he got elected.

[00:04:46] He didn't do anything for peace.

[00:04:48] Did the Afghan war escalate?

[00:04:50] Was there anything marginally better from a peace standpoint because of Obama's existence in the White House?

[00:04:55] No, but he got the prize anyway.

[00:04:58] But there were other people.

[00:04:59] Were there any Republicans ever given the Peace Prize since its founding in 1906?

[00:05:10] So Theodore Roosevelt got it.

[00:05:13] First president to win a Nobel Prize since then.

[00:05:15] I don't know if he's Bull Moose then.

[00:05:17] I think he may have been.

[00:05:19] But Woodrow Wilson gets it, Democrat Woodrow Wilson, for his efforts in ending the First World War

[00:05:24] and helping to create the League of Nations, which, where is that now?

[00:05:27] Well, President Jimmy Carter gets it in 2002.

[00:05:30] So if you look at the 2000s is where it really takes off for the Democrats.

[00:05:33] Vice President Al Gore got the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for climate change and his efforts there.

[00:05:41] By the way, the predictions he made in 2007 were all wrong, still wrong.

[00:05:47] Even Greta Thunberg, all wrong.

[00:05:49] Wrong, wrong, wrong.

[00:05:50] Wrong, wrong, wrong.

[00:05:50] We're supposed to be much worse off than we are.

[00:05:53] And then President Barack Obama in 2009.

[00:05:56] So Wilson, Carter, Gore, and Obama get the prize.

[00:06:00] And that's it.

[00:06:02] No Republicans.

[00:06:04] Now you would have thought that maybe Reagan could have, for his great, I mean, one of the greatest proponents of peace through strength,

[00:06:10] that was his MO, his policies directly led to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.

[00:06:19] You would think that it brought East and West together in a way that reunited Germany in a way and advanced the cause of peace in a way that none of those people combined did.

[00:06:29] None of those.

[00:06:29] Did Nobel recognize that?

[00:06:31] Did the committee come together and say, oh, Reagan, I don't know, did a pretty good job?

[00:06:35] Nope.

[00:06:36] Nothing like that.

[00:06:38] You would have thought.

[00:06:40] You would have thought.

[00:06:41] Or, you know, ending Vietnam.

[00:06:42] I don't know.

[00:06:43] They didn't.

[00:06:44] And that's what makes, that's what unfortunately for our children and for history is that you want to believe there are these great altruistic groups out there that recognize humanity's efforts without the veil of political ideology at work.

[00:07:02] And it is unfortunate that we don't, because there are a lot of folks on both sides of the aisle that really do have the interest of peace.

[00:07:12] I mean, I would say Rand Paul wanting to end endless wars and stopping the funding of these and pointing out the waste of America's resources on endeavors that have nothing to do with government.

[00:07:24] The Festivus report every year, he's one of the greatest purveyors of peace in Congress right now, even on the public health side of things.

[00:07:32] This is someone who constantly pushes back against, you know, Fauci and Birx and these people who've been fundamentally wrong about where the virus came from, how the money went and got to the Wuhan Institute.

[00:07:42] What did Fauci do that benefited himself?

[00:07:44] All of these things, he's done a remarkable, persistent, in the face of withering criticism.

[00:07:51] In the face of withering criticism, these people persist.

[00:07:55] It's going to be interesting to see.

[00:07:56] I don't know what Trump's second term will be.

[00:07:58] I know what he wants it to be.

[00:08:00] But will history allow him to be thought of fondly or kindly?

[00:08:04] I don't know.

[00:08:05] I really don't know.

[00:08:05] I wish.

[00:08:06] I wish we'll see.

[00:08:07] I mean, we're already at the beatification of Obama.

[00:08:10] They're trying to beatify Roy Cooper.

[00:08:11] If you're a Democrat, you know, the road is paved with gold for you.

[00:08:17] The media loves you.

[00:08:18] You just have to say, I'm a Democrat.

[00:08:20] I believe in giving everything away to all causes all at once.

[00:08:24] And you'll be rewarded.

[00:08:26] You don't have to be successful at it.

[00:08:28] For over a month now, I have been reminding you to preserve your precious photos and slides, films and tapes with creative video based in Mint Hill.

[00:08:36] These family heirlooms hold priceless stories, moments from years past that are irreplaceable.

[00:08:41] If you've thought about saving these memories before they fade away, you are not alone.

[00:08:45] This is creative videos busiest season.

[00:08:48] And with the holidays fast approaching, there is no better time than right now.

[00:08:52] So you need to hurry.

[00:08:53] Imagine the perfect holiday gift.

[00:08:55] Memories from past family events captured forever.

[00:08:58] Creative video skilled team will professionally transfer your family stories onto easy to use USB drives or DVDs that won't deteriorate over time.

[00:09:08] Like the old photos and tapes are doing right now.

[00:09:10] Picture it.

[00:09:11] Sitting together after a holiday meal, watching these family favorites, sharing laughs, shedding a few tears, and telling the stories that make your family uniquely yours.

[00:09:21] Get your memories in now and beat the holiday rush.

[00:09:27] That's createavideo.com.

[00:09:30] Don't know what your productivity looks like this week.

[00:09:32] I still postulate this is one of the least productive weeks of the year following probably the least productive week of the year.

[00:09:40] But I hope whatever you're doing, you're taking stock of where you are, where you're going, and have some hopes and aspirations and can reflect fondly in some way upon the past year and think about what's ahead.

[00:09:49] I do want to mention that the news media.

[00:09:52] I love, and I say that with a little tongue-in-cheek, because news media is remarkably predictable in the way that it portrays things.

[00:10:08] If I were to say, hey, does the news media really project a pro-Christian standpoint in any way ever?

[00:10:15] And you would say, well, no.

[00:10:17] And I would say, but there are times that would, when would it project any kind of pro-Christian sentiment?

[00:10:28] When President Jimmy Carter died.

[00:10:30] Why?

[00:10:31] Because President Jimmy Carter was a Baptist.

[00:10:34] And as much as the news media doesn't really like Baptists, unless they can portray them negatively, they can portray Jimmy Carter, and NBC News did this just shortly ago.

[00:10:45] It says, former President Jimmy Carter.

[00:10:47] Now, let me read the headline the way it would normally be written.

[00:10:51] President Jimmy Carter, a Southern Democrat, stood out for his early support for pro-gay legislation and his embrace of LGBTQ advocates, according to historians.

[00:11:01] But that's not the way NBC News portrayed it.

[00:11:04] What they did say was, former President Jimmy Carter, a Southern Democrat and devout Baptist, stood out for his early support for pro-gay legislation and embrace of LGBTQ.

[00:11:16] That's important to them.

[00:11:17] Because they want to castigate any kind of believers, any Christians.

[00:11:23] They want to castigate them for not being that.

[00:11:29] And you can absolutely be a libertarian and embrace equality for all without embracing special legislation for special groups.

[00:11:38] That doesn't make you a homophobe.

[00:11:40] It doesn't make you a bigot.

[00:11:41] If you say equal rights for all, special privileges for none, you're actually embracing equality in a way that you just don't see much these days.

[00:11:49] But that's the way NBC News had to portray Jimmy Carter.

[00:11:52] He was a Baptist.

[00:11:54] And even a Baptist can be all of these things.

[00:11:57] And squaring those things up is not the easiest task to do.

[00:12:02] Now, one of the other things that I want to get to, there's a couple of montages.

[00:12:07] There's a montage I want to play for you so badly.

[00:12:09] In fact, I might send it to the staff and see if we can play this.

[00:12:13] Now, it's two minutes and 46 seconds, but it's gold.

[00:12:16] It's absolute gold.

[00:12:17] And I think I'll try it in the brain.

[00:12:18] I'm going to send it.

[00:12:19] In fact, I tell you what I'm going to do.

[00:12:20] I'm going to send this.

[00:12:22] I'm going to send the link and see if we can get this thing queued up at all because they've just done a remarkable job of trying to make it all work.

[00:12:31] And we'll see.

[00:12:32] But the link, and again, I don't know when.

[00:12:35] They'll be able to tell me.

[00:12:36] I just sent it to them.

[00:12:36] So it is two minutes and 46 seconds, and it is a montage of the Biden team telling us that he is sharper than ever mentally.

[00:12:48] And yet even CBS, so we're coming from NBC, who wants to extol the virtues of Carter because he's a Baptist that embraced LGBTQ legislation, as opposed to CBS News, didn't get caught.

[00:13:00] But they were very honest for a moment, and the left is really upset about that.

[00:13:03] What was the largest, most underreported story of 2024?

[00:13:07] Because we're going to see a lot of these.

[00:13:09] And a CBS News journalist reported that it was Biden's obvious decline, cognitively.

[00:13:16] Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden's, quote, obvious cognitive decline this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate with Trump.

[00:13:29] Crawford, the network's chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from Face the Nation moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story of 24.

[00:13:42] Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate, she said on the Sunday morning show.

[00:13:51] So, subsequent to that, by the way, a lot of people have said he's been in decline for years, even prior to being elected.

[00:13:57] She then noted that recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides have covered up his mental decline over the past four years.

[00:14:06] Not the past year, not the past two years, but the past four years.

[00:14:09] The explosive report says that staffers formed a tight circle around the 82-year-old Democrat and to limit any kind of interpersonal actions he had, interactions with people.

[00:14:19] And yet he insisted that he could still run for president.

[00:14:22] We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats.

[00:14:30] It should have changed the scope of the entire election.

[00:14:34] Now, the interesting thing about that admission, I think, and it's an honest own, by the way.

[00:14:38] It's an absolutely honest own.

[00:14:43] And, oh, wow, they've got it ready.

[00:14:44] So, we'll not play it yet.

[00:14:46] We will play it coming.

[00:14:47] We'll talk about it.

[00:14:47] Thank you so much.

[00:14:48] You folks are amazing.

[00:14:49] Thanks for pulling that stuff up.

[00:14:51] So, the interesting thing about it, now think about what the media is telling on itself.

[00:14:56] The media that should have been asking these questions, had it been a Republican, had it been Trump, had it been anyone, anywhere, the media would have been ruthless.

[00:15:06] It would have been blood and water.

[00:15:08] It would have been a frenzy.

[00:15:09] It would have been – I mean, they went after Reagan actively for years on this stuff, and they gave Biden a pass.

[00:15:15] If anything, forget all of the other – forget any other bias that you might think of and just look at that single – the Hunter Biden stuff, 51 Spies Who Lie.

[00:15:24] Look at the covering of the Russia collusion stuff.

[00:15:27] Look at all of these things, all of these absolute media mistakes, and forget them.

[00:15:33] And look at the one.

[00:15:34] Look at the absolute and only one.

[00:15:38] And the only one that absolutely obliterates any objectivity from the media across the board is Biden's decline.

[00:15:46] I mean, Newsmax mentioned it.

[00:15:48] Fox News stayed on it.

[00:15:49] But nobody else in the media – I mean, well, the New York Post.

[00:15:52] There was in others.

[00:15:53] But by and large, the mainstream, the three, the big three, and MSNBC and CNN ignored it, are now admitting that they should have done more.

[00:16:03] But they covered.

[00:16:05] They provided propaganda cover for an obvious decline.

[00:16:09] Now, for the folks on the right, that led directly to Trump's victory because it allowed the Democrats to not be democratic in the way they selected their nominee.

[00:16:17] It allowed the Democrats to basically show what an inside coup looks like.

[00:16:24] They showed that you, the American people, don't matter to them.

[00:16:26] It illustrated a vacancy, a mental desire to make you irrelevant that showed that they were a bunch of self-serving at-the-trough DC insiders when they conducted a coup and made the voters irrelevant.

[00:16:41] So in a way, you could thank the media for being kind of the can-I-have-another to the Democrats, that the media is like fealty to the Democrat Party.

[00:16:52] Because had they done it, it would have been a much more robust – Biden would have not been able to run.

[00:16:58] They would have had a robust field out there trying to – Newsom, Shapiro.

[00:17:03] These people might have been out there.

[00:17:04] Kamala would not have won that.

[00:17:05] There's no way.

[00:17:06] As much as people wanted to promote her, she would not have won the primary.

[00:17:09] She did terrible when she ran a primary against Biden.

[00:17:12] She didn't get any better, arguably worse.

[00:17:15] They tried to pay people off.

[00:17:16] They tried to buy the election, which is ironic because that's what the Democrats want to say that the Trump people did.

[00:17:23] But that one admission – and she was the first to say it as CBS News mentioned it – and the aides have known it.

[00:17:34] The people in Congress knew it.

[00:17:35] So if you think about all those people, General Milley, who went on 60 Minutes and said, oh, no, the president's good.

[00:17:41] He lied.

[00:17:42] Do you really want a military general at the highest levels of the Pentagon lying to you?

[00:17:47] You don't.

[00:17:48] It is the D.C. swamp at work, and nothing illustrates how far out of touch they were like this.

[00:17:55] And there are people in Raleigh.

[00:17:56] We have our own Raleigh swamp.

[00:17:57] But this was bad.

[00:17:59] Still is bad.

[00:18:00] The fact that he's still president is terrible.

[00:18:01] All right, hey, real quick, if you would like to get your product or service in front of about 10,000 people multiple times a day,

[00:18:28] Again, that's Pete at ThePeteCalendarShow.com.

[00:18:32] Chad Adams sitting in for Pete Calendar here on Newstalk 1110-993-WBT.

[00:18:36] We're tracking the death of Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived ex-president.

[00:18:42] He died 100 years of age, born in 1924.

[00:18:44] What an amazing amount of information to have lived through, the human activity to live through the past 100 years.

[00:18:52] At the same time, you know, the biggest underreported story of the year was the diminishment of Joe Biden.

[00:18:57] We do have something we're going to get through on that.

[00:19:00] By the way, the Jimmy Carter, this is a little-known thing that always has irked me about most news sources, the larger ones, especially the New York Times,

[00:19:09] is they often pre-write someone's obituary because they want it to be nice or flowery.

[00:19:18] Some famous bill, they'll pre-write the obituary.

[00:19:20] And then when the person dies, they just kind of put it out there.

[00:19:24] So it looks like, oh, wow, this is amazing.

[00:19:26] They put this together so fast.

[00:19:28] And that's what the New York Times and the Washington Post both did for Jimmy Carter.

[00:19:34] The reality, though, is what they didn't tell you was that those were written by folks who have been dead for years.

[00:19:43] In both instances, they have joint – the New York Times and Washington Post obituaries have joint bylines, including writers who have been dead for years.

[00:19:52] The Guardian ran an obit with a single byline, and yes, the writer has been dead since 2021.

[00:20:00] And that's the kind of stuff you – you know, they don't have to do that.

[00:20:07] It's okay to take your time, write something current that includes current events, things like that.

[00:20:14] You literally have an obituary written by people who have already had their obituaries written, and it's just lazy journalism.

[00:20:22] It's just lazy.

[00:20:24] You can – talk radio is timely and topical.

[00:20:27] We can talk about these things.

[00:20:29] There's no reason the New York Times, one of the largest, most powerful legacy medias in the nation, couldn't have taken an extra 20, 30 minutes, done some research, and written a current obituary.

[00:20:42] Instead of plowing one up, you know, hey, oh, what do we have on – oh, let's put that one.

[00:20:47] I mean it's almost disrespectful.

[00:20:48] Well, it is disrespectful.

[00:20:50] That's my opinion.

[00:20:51] That's just one of the things about journalism today that irks me, I guess I would say.

[00:20:57] It just is irking.

[00:21:01] Irksome in the process of being irked.

[00:21:04] Now, I do want to add one thing, a listener who was listening about the Christianity thing, the assertion I made, and you can call and do this or you can write.

[00:21:13] I appreciate the folks on X, formerly known as Twitter, that reach out on that platform at Chad Adams Perspective.

[00:21:19] That's mine in case you want to look at that.

[00:21:22] The media portrays Christian in a negative light, but at the same time it is – and I've said this on the show many times – when there's a horrific event anywhere on the planet, it is mostly Christians in this country that step up and go to it.

[00:21:37] They run to it.

[00:21:37] They go to help.

[00:21:38] No matter what, this particular person went to Puerto Rico after the hurricanes, Baptist or mission flagged to Puerto Rico, and went and helped out.

[00:21:46] And I'm – as my childhood home, I knew a lot of people that did that, and these people make a huge difference.

[00:21:52] I'm looking at Western North Carolina right now and what Samaritan's Purse has done.

[00:21:55] That is a saintly organization, what it's doing in Western North Carolina.

[00:22:00] Here today, the Biden administration announced another $2.5 billion with a B to Ukraine.

[00:22:08] And it's really – the sad reality is watching people that are putting video of – I'm just referring to one, but there are many videos.

[00:22:17] I've just seen – I've seen about 10 of them that are showing here's what my community looks like today in Western North Carolina.

[00:22:24] And it's tough.

[00:22:26] I mean they've had some additional flooding.

[00:22:27] They've had additional damage that's happened.

[00:22:30] They're in for – the next couple weeks is going to be rough from a heating and cooling standpoint or heating standpoint, I should say.

[00:22:36] And it looks like a third-world country.

[00:22:39] Many parts of Western North Carolina still look like a third-world country, and yet we've got an extra $2.5 billion to give to Ukraine.

[00:22:45] And my criticism of the Ukrainian stuff is not as political as you may think.

[00:22:48] It is that I don't like it when there's no objective.

[00:22:53] The Ukrainians have never come and said, okay, when we get this here is our expectation.

[00:22:58] We're going to take back this region.

[00:23:00] We're going to put the Russians back.

[00:23:01] We're going to solve this.

[00:23:03] We're going to win, and this is what it's going to take to win that war.

[00:23:06] It's never that.

[00:23:07] It's just, hey, we need more stuff.

[00:23:09] We need more stuff.

[00:23:10] You guys are wealthy.

[00:23:11] Give us more stuff, please.

[00:23:13] We're the ones stopping the Russians from invading Europe.

[00:23:17] And it's not.

[00:23:19] They're not stopping them.

[00:23:20] It hasn't stopped.

[00:23:21] We've now escalated.

[00:23:21] We now have North Koreans on the battlefield in Ukraine now.

[00:23:24] We have – it's a mess.

[00:23:26] And Europe is still buying oil from Russia.

[00:23:28] If you wanted to stop this, you cut the Russian economy off at the knees.

[00:23:32] But the Europeans are – so on the one hand, U.S. taxpayers are giving money to the Ukrainians, and the Europeans are funding the arms purchases by buying natural gas and oil from the Russians.

[00:23:44] It seems kind of – it's just a gravy train, and it's an absurd gravy train.

[00:23:49] So that's the criticism is today the Biden administration.

[00:23:53] Two points.

[00:23:53] And you wonder how they just keep funneling this.

[00:23:55] As much as they want to say Trump is a dictator, Biden's – well, no, he's not.

[00:23:59] But his staff on his behalf or the – I don't know.

[00:24:03] And I don't know what the end goal is, nor have they announced what the end goal is.

[00:24:06] They just said, hey, this is what we're doing.

[00:24:08] This is what we're doing.

[00:24:11] So that being said, now, we need to take a break here in a few seconds, and we will.

[00:24:15] And when we come back, I will play that clip.

[00:24:17] And it is a montage of how bad the Biden folks were at telling us he was fine.

[00:24:25] We know now from the Wall Street Journal.

[00:24:26] We know now from additional journalists that have said, yes, we've interviewed staff.

[00:24:31] It's been bad since day one, since before he took office.

[00:24:34] When he was running for office, it was bad.

[00:24:36] It's been horrific the entire time.

[00:24:38] It's been a giant lie.

[00:24:39] And every day that goes by, we find out more.

[00:24:42] But at the same time, they lied to the American people.

[00:24:45] Now, here's the interesting thing, whether it's Pelosi.

[00:24:48] There is zero consequence to these people for lying to the American people.

[00:24:53] Now, this is a montage.

[00:24:56] I will ask them to leave my mic up because I want you to hear what was being told to the American people that now we know to all be not true.

[00:25:05] So go ahead and start playing that clip, please.

[00:25:07] Does the president have the stamina physically and mentally, do you think, to continue on even after 2024?

[00:25:13] Don, you're asking me this question.

[00:25:15] Oh, my gosh.

[00:25:16] He's the president of the United States.

[00:25:18] You know, he, I can't even keep up with him.

[00:25:21] The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing and detail-oriented and focused.

[00:25:33] I can testify because I've been working very closely with this president for the past two years.

[00:25:37] I've been knowing him for 30 years.

[00:25:39] And I'm telling you, this guy's tough.

[00:25:41] He's smart.

[00:25:41] He's on his game.

[00:25:42] Joe Biden has vision.

[00:25:44] He has knowledge.

[00:25:45] He has a strategic thinker.

[00:25:48] The president is focused.

[00:25:50] He's detail-oriented.

[00:25:52] He's always thinking about the big picture.

[00:25:54] He's engaging.

[00:25:55] He is capable.

[00:25:56] He has an incredible record as president.

[00:25:58] And I'm often with him on foreign trips.

[00:26:03] He's at the top of his game.

[00:26:04] So he has a vision.

[00:26:05] He has knowledge.

[00:26:06] He has judgment.

[00:26:08] He has a strategic thinking.

[00:26:10] I, you know, met with the president, I don't know, five or six weeks ago, but he seemed fine to me.

[00:26:15] I have complete confidence in the president.

[00:26:17] I have watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and cabinet members.

[00:26:23] I could not have more confidence in the president.

[00:26:26] I would just tell you that...

[00:26:28] Milley, General Milley from the Pentagon.

[00:26:30] And every single time I meet with him, he is just fine.

[00:26:35] But he is, again, knowledgeable, wise.

[00:26:40] Incredibly sharp, incredibly probing, incredible command of the details.

[00:26:45] He is sharp.

[00:26:46] He is on top of things.

[00:26:48] There is nothing to these challenges, these suggestions that somehow he's not sharp and he's not capable.

[00:26:54] We see Joe Biden up close.

[00:26:56] We know how attuned he is to the issue.

[00:26:59] And you're going to see how smart he is and the experience he has.

[00:27:02] I say his age is an asset.

[00:27:06] He's wise.

[00:27:06] Yes, he's wise.

[00:27:08] He has wisdom.

[00:27:09] He has experience.

[00:27:10] And his experience because of his age and his wisdom has been invaluable to this country.

[00:27:17] A lot of countries, people who've been in office a longer period of time are praised for their wisdom.

[00:27:22] I have seen a lot of 72-year-olds.

[00:27:25] James Clyburn.

[00:27:26] Not as capable as this 80-year-old.

[00:27:29] It is hard for us to keep up with this president.

[00:27:33] Okay, you can stop the clip.

[00:27:34] You can stop the clip.

[00:27:35] That's Chuck Schumer.

[00:27:36] What you see is this cabinet, not cabinet, you see this assembly.

[00:27:42] There's one of two things.

[00:27:43] They're either just morons, just incapable of the elevator going to the top floor.

[00:27:49] You know, there are definitely a couple sandwiches short of a full picnic.

[00:27:52] Or they're lying.

[00:27:54] There's no two-way.

[00:27:55] There's no halfway.

[00:27:56] You're not halfway pregnant in this thing.

[00:27:58] They're going to the American people on national media.

[00:28:01] Millie in 60 Minutes is one of the worst.

[00:28:03] If that's his assessment of Biden, this is a guy that's supposed to be able to assess every one of our military enemies around the world and give a correct assignation of what we should do.

[00:28:13] He can't even tell that the guy he's working for isn't mentally all there.

[00:28:18] We know he's not all there.

[00:28:20] So Millie's either lying, in which he's committed an act of treason, or he's dumb and he doesn't need to be in that post.

[00:28:28] But he can't be exonerated here.

[00:28:32] Kareem Jean-Pierre, she knew.

[00:28:33] You know, I want to believe that if almost any of you were in that position, if I was in a position where I knew the person I was working for was not capable.

[00:28:48] I mean, one of the highest things, one of the best things you can do for your country is be truthful about where we are.

[00:28:57] The people around Biden have told us everything they need to know about their character in the way they've conducted their affairs over the past four years.

[00:29:04] They knew he was in decline, and they lied to the American people consistently.

[00:29:08] Not just once, not just twice, but dozens if not hundreds of times.

[00:29:12] That's just a small collection of what these people have done.

[00:29:16] Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mark Milley, KJP, Daniel Goldman, Jill Biden.

[00:29:22] The wife, I mean, there's nothing honorable about what any of these people did.

[00:29:30] The one thing, you can say what you want.

[00:29:32] A lot of people have criticized Donald Trump for the way he's conducted, things he said, things acted, and those criticisms are fine.

[00:29:39] But to sit here at this level of cover-up tells you, it also tells you how these people would act in another situation.

[00:29:48] Imagine, imagine for a second that Kamala Harris had won.

[00:29:52] So let's just say she won, and these same people are in power, that Schumer's still there in the Senate, that Mark Milley's still in charge of things over the Pentagon, that KJP remains should she desire to.

[00:30:05] They would continue to lie as vehemently about Kamala Harris's abilities.

[00:30:11] They would continue to lie about the condition of things.

[00:30:14] These people are incapable.

[00:30:16] But again, I digress, because the other aspect, they're either lying or they're not mentally with it at all.

[00:30:24] And that's dangerous as well.

[00:30:28] If these people are not mentally capable of doing the job, why are they there?

[00:30:32] So Karine Jean-Pierre is either dumb as a bag of rice or she's lying, intentionally lying.

[00:30:47] And not only lying, but if you'll remember the kind of back and forth that Steve Doocy had with her and some other members of the media that made – she talked down to them.

[00:30:55] She made accusations about them that were untrue.

[00:30:59] When they questioned Biden's – she talked down to them.

[00:31:02] How dare they?

[00:31:03] How indignant she became.

[00:31:05] And that is one thing.

[00:31:06] I don't care, Democrat or Republican, they've got to stop that.

[00:31:10] Loyalty has a limit.

[00:31:12] I mean, if you're working – think about if – so you have to trust that if he was involved in criminal enterprises with Hunter, they would cover that up too.

[00:31:23] The cocaine in the White House story, you have to look at that in a different light, don't you?

[00:31:26] You have to look back at the Hunter Biden laptop story and what they knew the entire time.

[00:31:31] They knew about it.

[00:31:32] They knew it was true, and they lied about it.

[00:31:34] They probably know more about the cocaine story than they're admitting.

[00:31:37] There's a lot now that you have to go back and look at everything they said and did under the auspices that it was just a total fabrication.

[00:31:45] And furthermore, you go over to Congress and you look at Pelosi and Schumer, if they're lying on that – that's a relatively minor reality, isn't it?

[00:31:55] That they're lying about that.

[00:31:57] What else are they lying about?

[00:31:58] So when people make accusations that the January 6th committee was rigged, well, we know they'd lie about the president's health.

[00:32:04] Would they lie about the stuff there?

[00:32:05] Of course they would.

[00:32:06] It makes the – if you Democrats wanted to assert that January 6th was exactly the way you portray it, about it being this attempt to overthrow the government, that it was all of these horrible things, you undermine your own argument by asserting that you can't even get Biden's senility right.

[00:32:28] And it sounds like I'm being brutal on this, but you have to.

[00:32:33] So we should believe you?

[00:32:35] Because why?

[00:32:36] Why?

[00:32:37] What about you established credibility before the American people?

[00:32:41] I mean, the January 6th committee is now suspect because even Liz Cheney and others asserted that Biden was mentally all there.

[00:32:48] They all look bad.

[00:32:52] And so when I look at this, when anyone says, hey, you have to look at the other things they were saying and doing during this entire time, you have to.

[00:33:02] When Adam Schiff says Biden's fine, well, everything else – and Adam Schiff, you have to believe he's astute enough to recognize that Biden isn't fine and wasn't fine and hasn't been fine.

[00:33:14] So if he would go to the American people and just say, hey, he's great, he's sharp, he's sharp as a tack.

[00:33:18] At the same time, the next question you say, the January 6th people say, oh yeah, well, Trump orchestrated that and Trump did it.

[00:33:23] Now, which one would he know more about?

[00:33:25] Would he know more about the actions of the president than the actions of his political enemy?

[00:33:31] Yes, he would.

[00:33:31] We know he lied about the thing he knew the most about.

[00:33:34] So it's not hard to figure out that he was just exaggerating on the thing he knew less about.

[00:33:39] All of these people knew far more about Biden's cognitive decline and a lot less about their political enemies.

[00:33:46] But we're supposed to believe them on, oh well, now we know.

[00:33:49] Well, you know, I was just being political.

[00:33:51] I was just – hey, he's my guy.

[00:33:52] I'm defending him.

[00:33:53] No, you committed an act of treason against the American people.

[00:33:57] I mean you now have to – these people – and again, I know – I'm kind of surprised that more people aren't upset about this.

[00:34:04] Because if you think about it, at any time, at any given point in time over the past four years, there could have been a massive assault on our troops.

[00:34:13] There could have been an act of war against the U.S.

[00:34:16] There could have been any number of things that required someone that was in elected office to make decisions for the American people.

[00:34:24] And you had a bunch of Democrats telling us that the guy that was in that position was capable of doing it.

[00:34:28] We now know he wasn't.

[00:34:31] What did he miss?

[00:34:33] Probably a lot.

[00:34:35] So they were willing to sacrifice the safety of the entire country for the political lie that our president was fined.

[00:34:45] Which makes you think if he was in a coma, they would have covered for him.

[00:34:50] Anyway, that's just that.

[00:34:52] All right.

[00:34:52] That'll do it for this episode.
