00:00:00.000It called this a political disaster. It said, quote, in some ways, Thursday's report was the worst of all worlds, an official description of Mr. Biden behind the scenes, suggesting that with age come stumbles.
00:00:13.640How do you begin to measure, Peter, fallout from something like this?
00:00:19.160Well, look, you know, I don't know how you measure it, obviously.
00:00:22.140The polls have shown consistently for a long time now that most voters, including most Democrats, worry about President Biden's age.
00:00:30.000Quite a number of voters also worry about President Trump's age, although not in the same numbers, according to the polls.
00:00:35.140So this simply furthers that conversation, a conversation this White House doesn't want to have, although it knows it's inevitable.
00:00:41.320And the idea that it's, you know, put in writing here that he is seen as a well-meaning but forgetful elderly old man is just not the conversation they want to be having.
00:00:52.060They want to talk about infrastructure. They want to talk about Trump's indictments.
00:00:55.280They want to talk about a lot of things. They don't want to talk about his capacity.
00:00:58.820And you can see in the president's decision to come out last night, which he doesn't usually do, that he, you know, struck a nerve.
00:01:04.900It struck a nerve in a personal way. And I think it struck a nerve in a political way, because obviously, you know,
00:01:09.920they have to convince the country that not only is he capable of being president now at 81,
00:01:14.400but that he would be capable of being president until he's 86, which is the end of a second term.
00:01:19.340And that's the reason why I asked that question.
00:01:21.280And the reason why so many people seem confused, because you hear willful retention of national defense information related to Trump,
00:01:29.100willful retention of classified material related to President Biden.
00:01:34.380And yet one individual is facing a criminal trial being brought by the Department of Justice in Fort Pierce, Florida.
00:01:41.600And the other one is not facing any charge.
00:01:44.080Sure. And I think I've talked to many of you guys in the room over the last 24 hours about this.
00:01:50.400The allegation that there was willful retention of documents is refuted by the evidence in the report.
00:01:57.240And the conclusion was made directly that the evidence does not support that claim.
00:02:03.920He explored the theory. It's in there on page two. Everybody focused on it.
00:02:07.040I'm exploring the theory of willful retention, but that the evidence as a whole was insufficient because that's not what the facts show.
00:02:14.840So, Ryan, we have to remember that this was good news for the White House, right?
00:02:19.220This is what they wanted. No charges for the president for mishandling classified documents.
00:02:24.160Did this report, in some ways, with a very relatively small few words, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, at least from the Democrats' perspective?
00:02:35.220Yeah, that was a really damning line, a few lines about President Biden's memory.
00:02:40.860And, you know, that's something that there's been some pushback on about whether or not that was appropriate
00:02:44.720and whether Robert Herr could have used different language to accomplish the same goal without sort of, you know,
00:02:50.740handing this political crudgel to Mr. Biden's political opponents.
00:02:54.500But I do think it's important to remember that, you know, Herr is not some partisan hack, right?
00:02:59.020He was appointed by Donald Trump, but he has a history at the Justice Department.
00:03:03.540And, in fact, what I remember him from from before this, during the Trump administration,
00:03:07.460was aggressively going after domestic terrorism cases in Maryland, including an individual who's a big fan of Donald Trump,
00:03:14.800who was targeting a lot of Donald Trump's enemies and had a sort of kill list to go after those individuals.
00:03:21.440His office went very aggressively against that then.
00:03:23.900So I don't think this notion, it's tough for them to push back.
00:03:26.940And I think, you know, when you see those comments from the vice president trying to present Robert Herr as just this sort of partisan hack,
00:03:32.960I think that's going to be a little bit more difficult.
00:03:34.660You can you can disagree with the direct approach that he took to this and say that, you know,
00:03:40.320you don't think that that language should have been included on the margins.
00:03:43.100But overall, this attack on her, I don't think is necessarily going to stick, Chris.
00:03:50.320This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:55.220Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:59.140I got a free shot of all these networks lying about the people.
00:04:04.760The people have had a belly full of it.
00:07:34.420How in the world is it you can have a legal document come out that says that they feel
00:07:39.780he is guilty of certain charges and violations, but yet we can't prosecute him because he's
00:07:46.340not competent enough in order to stand trial?
00:07:49.240How can you not be competent enough to stand trial and still be the commander in chief?
00:07:55.020That should be frightening to everyone across this country.
00:07:58.120Do you think that our adversaries are not listening to this and saying, yeah, we sort of thought so.
00:08:02.600We've watched him tottering around for the last year or so as he's come overseas, but now it is on full display.
00:08:10.840So I have to check in with some of the legal minds that I trust.
00:08:16.620Look, the 25th Amendment, Kamala Harris will be doing this now and every cabinet secretary should be called before the House next week and ask this basic question.
00:08:29.900Have you talked to Vice President Harris?
00:08:31.120But on oversight and the impeachment panels, do you think this raises to the level to actually start having hearings next week and open them up to the public?
00:08:48.820And I think that they should take the report line by line and have the authors of that describe the meetings that they had and the condition that the president was in when they posed these questions to him.
00:09:04.940The people across this nation, and it should, as you say, be televised, that the people across the nation can see exactly who is standing as our commander in chief, getting ready to have the authority to send our troops to different places around the globe and subject our country to all kinds of serious problems.
00:09:31.560We've got a packed show today and tomorrow, but for today, President Trump is heading to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
00:10:37.060They're on the cusp of voting for cloture.
00:10:39.780They're going to try to do it over the weekend.
00:10:41.640They're going to try to have this vote.
00:10:42.920And this is without anything, maybe an amendment, maybe a fig leaf or two, but without closing the border.
00:10:48.540You're about to have Republican senators led by Mitch McConnell that are going to vote to give $61 billion to tonight in Ukraine.
00:10:58.760They had protests in the main square there at Maden where the revolution took place, telling Zelensky he couldn't fire the senior military officer.
00:11:06.940This is a country that is coming unglued.
00:11:08.900The beloved head of the military told Zelensky exactly what the reality of this war is, exactly what it had happened, so that more young men wouldn't be killed.
00:11:19.680And all they're doing is pressing forward.
00:11:21.240As a U.S. senator, Matt Rosendale, what are your thoughts?
00:11:33.180We should not be spending billions of dollars sending it over there.
00:11:36.340They are the most corrupt nation that anyone's ever heard of.
00:11:40.720Four years ago, the only reason anyone knew of Ukraine was Burisma and Hunter Biden taking dirty money that had been laundered through the country.
00:11:50.680And now we continue to try and find a way to send arms over there.
00:11:54.580Five individuals have already within the military been arrested for skimming $40 million off of the top of the arms sales.
00:12:05.260We've sent about $110, $115 billion worth of aid and or weapons over there.
00:12:12.940And, Steve, I am convinced all we're doing is destroying the fertile farmland, destroying the infrastructure, killing people and displacing people, all the while lining Zelensky's pocket.
00:12:26.940We need to force these people to some kind of a peace accord so that they can settle this out and stop destroying, again, the land, the people and the infrastructure.
00:12:38.120Because I am convinced at the end of the day that we're going to be asked to come in and refund all of that construction.
00:12:46.460So I have been a hard no on sending money to Ukraine since the very beginning of this conflict.
00:12:52.800Mitch McConnell is looking for people that will support him.
00:13:48.120Sometimes eight votes is all you need to get something done.
00:13:51.200And so I am fully prepared to go up against that.
00:13:55.560Mitch McConnell is looking for another yes man.
00:13:58.140The Senate committee, Steve Daines in the Senate committee, has come out and said their top criteria for enlisting people, OK, recruiting people to run for the Senate, is that they can self-fund.
00:17:48.720But here's the thing, you know, this is like a steak thrown in the middle of a bunch of hungry dogs when it comes to the House Republicans who want to keep this thing going and want to highlight this issue.
00:18:02.320And so they've already signaled this morning that they're going to try and dislodge some of this material.
00:18:08.400I don't know if they can, but just the effort to get it will keep the story going.
00:18:15.880So, you know, this is a sticky wicket for the White House.
00:18:20.400I thought he and Sam's, I agree with Evan's analysis.
00:18:24.700You know, Ian did a brilliant job there.
00:18:28.820They know they know they got a firestorm.
00:18:31.640That's where they put the spokesman for White House counsel up there to try to get ahead of it.
00:19:20.680It's factually incorrect when I go to the document.
00:19:22.720It says he willfully retained and put forth, disclosed classified information.
00:19:32.940The reason he's not prosecuted is because they don't think they can get a victory because he's got dementia, is essentially what they said.
00:19:41.080This is a national security issue of the highest order.
00:32:51.520Nunes, just like he wanted to look into Russia hoax, was going to investigate this.
00:32:56.240McCarthy shut down the investigation when Nunes left, fired the whole team on House Intel, put his lackey, Turner, in, who now actually switched his vote on Mayorkas.
00:33:09.800So Kevin McCarthy is the conduit for the billionaire donor globalists with the investments in China to corrupt the administration.
00:33:17.980And they probably see they've been striking out everywhere.
00:33:21.200So they probably see now we've got to get somebody in Trump's camp.
00:33:24.800We've got to get somebody in Trump's camp.
00:33:26.220So let's get McCarthy telling him in there.
00:33:27.920He can tell him he can help him get his right person in, his speaker in the House and all this other stuff.
00:33:33.040And he's being, you know, funded by the billionaire donors to do it, to protect China, the Sequoia Capitals.
00:33:39.100Sequoia Capitals portfolio companies like FTX.
00:33:42.260Yes, the one committing fraud where the CEO is now in jail was one of his biggest donors.
00:33:48.540Ken Griffin from Citadel was dumping all sorts of money into McCarthy.
00:33:52.200He wasn't dumping money into McCarthy because he was supporting Trump.
00:33:55.500He's thrown all sorts of money behind DeSantis, Nikki Haley.
00:33:59.100You know, I'm surprised he's not throwing money at none of the above now as a candidate.
00:34:41.880I mean, Steve, the Dems now are investigating Robert Kennedy Jr., but they're not investing McCarthy for shutting down China investigations and then making them donors?
00:34:54.720No, it's because that's part of the progress.
00:34:58.180You know, they're taking money from the CCP.
00:35:00.080Brian, where do people get you, particularly Twitter?
00:35:01.840Were you putting up so much of your investigations?
00:43:45.580For War Room veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:43:57.940China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:44:02.920I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:44:05.420The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:44:13.940But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of this show.
00:44:18.860Now, here's the action you can take to correct.
00:44:21.820Do yourself and your family a favor and get your Jace case right now.
00:44:26.100It's a pack of five prescription antibiotics you'll have on hand for common emergencies.
00:44:37.980Take a few minutes and fill out the form.
00:44:40.320Your information will be reviewed by a board-certified physician and your medication will be dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost.
00:44:51.040You'll be glad you have the Jace case.
00:44:53.000Go to Jace Medical, that's one word, J-A-S-E, medical.com, and enter code Bannon at checkout for a discount on your order.
00:45:01.800That's promo code Bannon at Jace, J-A-S-E, medical.com.
00:45:06.780You know what the problem is because you've watched the show.
00:45:09.880You can break, you can take action and break that problem by going to Jace Medical and get your Jace case today.
00:45:25.360Okay, so we reported by CNN right now that the Senate's going to work through the Super Bowl and try to get out there in the pre-dawn hours, I think Monday, or vote on Monday.
00:45:34.300But these votes for cloture are going to come around late tomorrow night, maybe even 1 a.m. in the morning on Sunday.
00:46:08.680President Trump is running late, as he often does, because his schedule is absolutely jammed.
00:46:14.000Coming off one of the most historic days yesterday, President Trump will be heading to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's capital, Harrisburg, to give a major address to NRA.
00:46:23.320And we will cover it, I think, in its entirety.
00:46:26.420So that will be at the 6 o'clock hour, and we'll work it.
00:46:29.660Of course, over at Lindale TV, Lou Dobbs follows us, but we're going to try to work it all out so you get full coverage.
00:46:35.640We also have Joe Allen and Naomi, some people in the next hour.
00:46:38.660We've got information we've got to get to you.
00:46:40.080A couple of topics we haven't addressed because we've been so involved in the nitty-gritty of Capitol Hill, but we know we have to do that because the war and posse mans the ramparts.
00:46:51.680A night of, or this weekend, a night of, by the way, Chinese New Year's today.
00:46:54.960We'll have, hopefully, some folks on from New Federal State tomorrow if they're not partying too much.
00:47:11.680You gave a talk to the people that really inspired them about this situation with the shooters and the drugs and what's happening to our young children.
00:47:19.740Tell us about this gala you have in tomorrow.
00:47:22.100And has War Room, have we sold this out yet?
00:47:33.860And we have been working diligently on a new bill in Tennessee that is going to separate the pharmaceutical industry and away from these mass shootings so we can get them at arm length.
00:48:47.860And Patty testified on a law in the state of New York that was going to have the guns not looked at but the drugs.
00:48:57.400So we're reintroducing that bill in Tennessee.
00:48:59.540Patty, how big a pushback, how big a pushback do you get going against, because you're going against Big Pharma, one of the most profitable areas.
00:49:09.340What kind of pushback do you guys get?
00:49:27.640And it's, we're just grateful and thankful for people like you that are hard-hitting and will, you know, support our children and what we stand for, you know, safety and public safety.
00:50:00.680It has a hold on what is being the media, but it also has a hold on what information parents are receiving through schools, through the professionals that are in our schools.
00:51:52.720So if we could break through on this informed consent issue and get this Tennessee bill passed, we can really – we need 10,000 signatures.
00:52:01.320We have a petition online for 10,000 signatures.
00:52:05.080We have a congresswoman on the federal level very interested in federal hearings.
00:53:26.620DoneWithDebt.com published a brilliant strategy designed to let you keep your hard-earned tax refund and reduce or eliminate credit card debt.
00:53:37.100Most Americans owe thousands in credit card debt.
00:53:39.740In fact, Daily Mail has got a story that 56 million Americans carry credit card debt.
00:53:45.120And that debt will take years to pay off.
