VP Joe Biden admits to keeping classified documents in his garage, but who had access to them? And why did he keep them locked in his Corvette? Is he some kind of James Bond type of spy or is he just a normal guy who likes to have fun?

00:00:00.000 I'm going to get a chance to speak on all this, God willing, soon, but as I said earlier
00:00:23.100 this week, people, and by the way, my Corvette's in a locked garage, okay, so it's not like
00:00:28.420 they're sitting out in the street, but anyway, yes, as well as my Corvette, but as I said
00:00:35.860 earlier this week, people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously.
00:00:42.180 I also said we're cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department's review.
00:00:47.140 As part of that process, my lawyers reviewed other places where documents from my time
00:00:54.360 as vice president were stored, and they finished the review last night.
00:00:58.580 They discovered a small number of documents of classified markings and storage areas and
00:01:04.080 file cabinets in my home and my personal library.
00:01:09.000 This was done in the case of the Biden Penn Center.
00:01:14.800 The Department of Justice was immediately, as was done, the Department of Justice was immediately
00:01:21.140 notified, and the lawyers arranged for the Department of Justice to take possession of the document.
00:01:32.620 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning
00:01:40.640 Point USA. Today is January 12th, 2023. That's President Biden admitting for you and for all of
00:01:49.900 us that apparently he's been keeping classified documents in his garage, locked up with his
00:01:57.780 Corvette. I want to know, are they in the Corvette? Does he drive around with the classified documents
00:02:03.760 in the Corvette thinking like he's some kind of, you know, James Bond agent? That's why he's got
00:02:08.680 the glasses, the shades. He's out there. But joining me to go through this and some other stuff
00:02:14.600 that we're going to be talking about is Dr. Taylor Marshall. Dr. Taylor Marshall, we've been talking
00:02:19.340 a lot about Pope Benedict, his letter this week, Cardinal Pell. But I've got to come into this
00:02:24.140 right off with with Biden and the classified documents. Now, what are we to make of a story
00:02:29.580 like this from the guy who told us for the last year or so that because Trump had some classified
00:02:36.420 documents, again, secured in a in a secure area at Mar-a-Lago that it was high crimes and misdemeanors?
00:02:45.660 Yeah, it's odd. I mean, I have an old Corvette, but I don't drive around with documents and I don't
00:02:51.260 have my kids births, you know, birth certificates and the passwords to all my devices. A Corvette is
00:02:58.300 especially like an old Corvette, like the one Biden has. I mean, that's like to joyride,
00:03:02.160 to go out on a Sunday to have fun. You don't transport secret docks in your classic car in
00:03:09.020 your Corvette. So it just reveals the hypocrisy that we have in America between the two parties
00:03:14.240 and, you know, Biden versus Trump, that having them in your house, like you said, is is a crime.
00:03:21.000 And then driving joyriding with with important secret docks, I guess, like, does he have them
00:03:27.120 in the passenger seat of his Corvette? I mean, Corvettes don't have trunks. Traditionally,
00:03:33.160 the old ones, like the one he has, there's no trunk in them. So you just kind of have to put it
00:03:36.960 in the in the car with you. There's really no way to lock up any documents and whether or not it was
00:03:42.680 in the car. Right. And and get serious a second. So we actually have to ask the question now who all
00:03:48.280 had access to this garage? We're told they removed several times. So where were they before they removed
00:03:53.640 to who's got to now put on my Intel officer hat here for a second? Now you've got to look at
00:03:58.560 spillage because that's what this is considered considered spillage. You've got to look at what
00:04:02.220 damage was done to national security by these documents. So first, you're going to need what
00:04:06.800 the contents of the documents. You're also going to need to then find out what potential damage
00:04:13.560 could have been done to national security, because we were told, at least for the original
00:04:17.200 tranche of documents, that that had to do with Ukraine. Kind of a big deal. Then the UK in
00:04:23.540 2016, where all of Russiagate took place. That's where Crossfire Hurricane was going on. That's
00:04:28.720 where steel and these guys were having their meetings. That was all being done and conducted
00:04:32.340 out of London. And so the question for us, number one, what was in the contents of the documents? We
00:04:37.420 need this. Number two, what was in who all had access to that garage? And, you know, Dr. Marshall,
00:04:44.640 I'd love to ask you, we've got this new Congress in. We've got these new committees. I think this is
00:04:50.340 something that obviously should be investigated. Do you think that the way the new committees and
00:04:55.760 the new Congress is currently situated, do you have confidence that they'll be able to get the
00:04:59.920 job done on this and the other issues that they're focusing on?
00:05:04.340 Yeah. I mean, I guess the question is, is, is what are we expecting of our, our president,
00:05:09.500 our vice president, those in his cabinet? I mean, are there any official rules and policies
00:05:16.440 about documents, locations and all that? I mean, I, I think there are, uh, it seems that,
00:05:23.400 you know, even going back as far as Hillary Clinton and whatnot, that they play kind of fast
00:05:28.100 and loose with this. And now that we live in an increasingly more digital and in cyber environment,
00:05:34.500 I mean, you don't want to, I mean, what if the guy at Jiffy Lube who changed the oil on the Corvette
00:05:39.140 has a copy of all these files? I mean, I mean, it gets ridiculous, right? Or the guy who vacuumed out
00:05:45.500 the Corvette. Does he, does he have them now, you know, in his, in his apartment somewhere? I mean,
00:05:49.740 this is kind of ridiculous. Uh, well, we already know that that leaves their, their, you know,
00:05:56.400 class, not classified, but sensitive documents and sensitive laptops out at repair shops in
00:06:01.420 Wilmington. It doesn't go back and take up with them. So this is the same type of thing that we've
00:06:06.400 seen with the same family. And of course, to just to reiterate for everyone out there,
00:06:10.820 the president of the United States has sold declassification authority that can be delegated.
00:06:16.840 The vice president does not have that authority. Does not have the same authority to unilaterally
00:06:21.800 declassify documents. Vice president can receive declassified documents, but you notice in that
00:06:27.100 statement, which was clearly written by the white house of the council, that was not the case.
00:06:33.300 They did not say these were declassified documents. They said documents with classified
00:06:37.600 markings, which means they were not declassified and they're trying to play games with it.
00:06:42.080 So I want to hold you on over the break because there is a lot more that I want to get into.
00:06:46.240 But before we do just a message to everybody out there, if you're watching this on your phone,

00:07:28.380 Breaking news this morning and Cardinal George Pell has died at the age of 81. The senior Catholic 0.65
00:07:36.580 passing away in Rome overnight. Cardinal Pell was sensationally jailed in 2019, found guilty of
00:07:43.320 child sex offences. Those convictions later quashed by the High Court of Australia in 2020.
00:07:49.860 George Pell was ordained in 1966 and rose through the church ranks to become one of the Pope's
00:07:55.700 right-hand men. He was appointed to the Vatican Commission in 2002 by Pope John Paul and the year
00:08:02.020 later became a cardinal. He was appointed the Vatican's treasurer by Pope Francis, a position
00:08:07.240 which is third in charge at the Holy See. And while his own convictions were quashed, his handling of
00:08:13.580 sexual abuse within the church has long been criticised. Just repeating that breaking news this
00:08:18.400 morning, Cardinal George Pell has died at the age of 81.
00:08:22.200 So that's the mainstream media report from Australia on the passing of Cardinal Pell. Now,
00:08:27.240 Dr. Taylor Marshall, we covered here yesterday the letters or really the articles that were penned by
00:08:33.060 Cardinal Pell. He had intended for them to come out this week. His death comes as a shock to everyone.
00:08:39.540 He had just scheduled surgery. He was recovering. He was attending the funeral, funeral mass for Pope
00:08:45.700 Benedict in Rome when he, to use the phrase, died suddenly. Walk us through, though, these articles that
00:08:54.500 came out from Cardinal Pell and how important they are, and specifically to the non-Catholics out there
00:08:59.880 in the audience to get an understanding of how big of a deal this really is.
00:09:03.460 Well, you have to know that Pope Benedict XVI, who was the Pope Emeritus, passed away on December 31st of
00:09:11.320 2022. So the Vatican is still reeling from this loss, from this controversy. And part of the big
00:09:18.880 controversy, in order to understand the person of Cardinal Pell and the person of Pope Benedict XVI
00:09:23.980 and the controversy here is, really, there's been a battle in the Catholic Church since about 1963,
00:09:32.940 all the way up to 2023, over the debate, should the Catholic Church modernize and update and get
00:09:41.900 with the times? Should the Church have women in leadership? Should the Church have women ordained? 0.94
00:09:47.280 What about gay marriage? All these issues are out on the table. What should the liturgy be like? What
00:09:55.760 about modern media? And there are really two camps. One is to preserve and conserve the tradition of what
00:10:02.780 it meant to be Catholic for 2,000 years. And then the other one is to, in a way, follow the culture
00:10:09.060 in a company, to use a phrase of Pope Francis, to accompany the culture and become more lax on those
00:10:15.220 issues that seem out of touch or medieval. And Pope Benedict, although as a young man was maybe
00:10:21.620 more progressive, as he was older and as he served as Pope, he was really more of a traditional
00:10:26.520 conservative. And the current Pope, Pope Francis, is very much seen as a modernist and a progressive.
00:10:32.280 And Pope Benedict dying on December 31st, in a way, that movement of the traditional conservative
00:10:39.880 focus in the Catholic Church, it sort of broke open that wound. You know, it ripped off the bandaid.
00:10:45.640 And so now, in these past 12 days, that discussion, that debate, that argument has sort of spilled out
00:10:52.400 of the Vatican, and people are noticing it again. So Cardinal Pell was one of the very vocal critics
00:10:59.180 of Pope Francis. He had been hired by Pope Francis to basically be the overseer of Vatican finances,
00:11:05.940 of the Vatican economy. And he began to find irregularities. And he was, around that time,
00:11:12.700 accused of sexual abuse and removed. And then just recently, he died after a routine hip surgery,
00:11:20.100 literally a day or two before his article critical of Pope Francis and his direction. And people are,
00:11:25.900 some are saying, is this foul play? It might be too soon to even debate that. But he did die
00:11:32.440 days ago. And then this article comes out in which he just, I mean, he rips into the policies of Pope
00:11:40.580 Francis. He calls it toxic. He calls it a toxic nightmare. It's some of the strongest language.
00:11:46.320 And you can only imagine if Cardinal Pell were still alive, if he hadn't died just a few days ago,
00:11:51.160 how much trouble he would be at the Vatican.
00:11:53.260 So he was planning, by the way, to have this published. I mean, he wasn't planning on passing away,
00:11:58.100 I guess is what I'm saying. And so the plan was for him to have this published either this week or
00:12:02.080 next week. The spectator said it was upcoming. He was going to really launch a massive broadside
00:12:07.920 against the papacy of Francis, or I should at least say the, the theology of the papacy of Francis
00:12:13.880 rather than, because he doesn't actually name Francis in the article, but what he does is he takes the
00:12:21.000 acts of Francis and just sort of really takes them down one by one throughout the article.
00:12:27.600 Yes. And then there's something that just came out this morning that a while back, a,
00:12:33.440 a memo was sent out to the Cardinals from a Cardinal who remained anonymous. And the code name on the
00:12:40.460 memo was Deimos, which is Greek for people. And it detailed the mistakes and the errors and the
00:12:46.800 problems with Pope Francis, and then set out a plan of action for electing the next Pope who would not
00:12:54.080 have these defects and problems that circulated around. It was kind of a big splash in the media.
00:12:58.520 No one knew who Deimos was. And this morning it was released that Deimos was Cardinal Pell. And that
00:13:03.980 seems to match that language seems to match what we saw in Cardinal Pell's article for the spectator.
00:13:09.600 So Cardinal Pell was definitely contrary to Pope Francis, whether he named him or not in this article,
00:13:16.140 it's obvious to everyone who knows what's going on, that Cardinal Pell, um, once Pope Benedict died,
00:13:22.940 was going to initiate some sort of a response to Francis. And we had a liberal Cardinal, uh, just
00:13:28.860 about four days ago, indicate that he said that there are conservative Cardinals who are planning
00:13:34.060 to oust Pope Francis. And people have wondered, is that a false flag? Is it legitimate? Well, just seeing
00:13:40.720 these things about Cardinal Pell, and then we can maybe talk about Archbishop Gergensfein from Germany,
00:13:46.080 there is sort of a, a info dump right now in the Vatican, and it is negative towards Pope Francis.
00:13:57.160 So it seems like to your point that the death of Benedict has sort of triggered this debate,
00:14:02.000 and it's also given an opening for the conservatives in, uh, in the higher ranks of the Vatican,
00:14:08.560 in the higher ranks throughout the various countries to come forward with a lot of these
00:14:12.920 misgivings that they've been having, because what you're seeing under Francis and for, for folks out
00:14:17.620 there that, that are just totally lost in the conversation is that this goes far beyond what
00:14:23.260 Vatican II was talking about. This is a full on diminishment of what it means to carry forth the
00:14:30.160 traditions of the church and to open the church up under the name of ecumenicalism, under the name
00:14:36.480 really of diversity and inclusion, diversity and inclusion, respect for other cultures,
00:14:41.340 but it should always be the goal, at least, at least from my perspective, the goal was,
00:14:46.460 should always be to evangelize the other cultures, right? You were, you know, uh, every,
00:14:50.440 everyone is welcome, right? To become Catholic and learn the Bible. That should be the goal of the
00:14:55.260 church, right? Um, and to, and to preach the gospel and spread the good news. And yet that doesn't seem
00:15:00.380 to be what Francis is doing at all. And he's holding these international summits to bring people
00:15:06.720 in that in, in many cases, and you're, you're, you know, in the U S we, we, we, we would just say
00:15:11.840 woke. We would just say they're becoming more woke. Yeah, exactly. And what you just summarized
00:15:17.720 right there could be a perfect book report of what Cardinal Pell wrote in his attack on what he
00:15:24.220 considers to be what he names a toxic nightmare. And he says, you know, the purpose of, of being
00:15:30.660 Catholic or being a Pope or a Cardinal, or even a layman is just, as you said, to bring people into
00:15:35.980 the love of Jesus Christ, to save their soul, to get to heaven. And so when you look at the
00:15:41.740 pontificate of Pope Francis, it's, it's very much about wokeness. It's about, um, you know, green
00:15:48.400 theology, ecology, the UN and the EU deals with the CCP, Abu Dhabi meetings. I mean, it's just
00:15:56.780 extremely political and secular and the, the inspirational focus of who is Jesus Christ and
00:16:05.800 how he can transform your life and redeem you is not often present, if at all, in the teaching
00:16:12.400 proclamation and preaching of Pope Francis and his policies that has the, the people down in the pews
00:16:18.280 concerned, you know, it's great. You hear politics from the pulpit rather than theology. Dr. Taylor
00:16:25.400 Marshall, hold you back. Last segment, coming back here at Human Events Daily.
00:16:32.160 And we're back, Jack Posobiec here with Dr. Taylor Marshall. Now, Dr. Marshall, obviously,
00:16:36.580 I've got to ask you the question because I've had you on before to talk about the book,
00:16:40.660 Antichrist and Apocalypse, where you're talking about an understanding of the Antichrist,
00:16:46.220 you know, an understanding of what the apocalypse, which of course, apocalypsis, the Greek word for
00:16:52.980 revelation. So the book of revelation, actually in Greek, you would say the book of apocalypse.
00:16:58.040 We've got a letter now that's been published posthumously. It was a private letter from Pope
00:17:03.520 Benedict. And I believe all the way back in 2015. So he's just stepped down, it's been about two years,
00:17:08.760 he's writing to someone. And he essentially states, and this person has, has released the article now,
00:17:14.400 has released a letter now because he's passed. Benedict, who had written extensively about the
00:17:20.440 Antichrist throughout his life, states unequivocally in this letter that we are living in the times
00:17:27.480 of the Antichrist. So my question to you is, how soon can you get volume two of your book out with the
00:17:34.260 new foreword by Pope Benedict with the full letter? You know, you've got a, yeah, that thing's, that's,
00:17:40.040 that's the old version one, you know, that's, we need version two now. Right. But what, yeah,
00:17:44.540 the new version of Antichrist. You know, what should we, what should we take away from this?
00:17:50.180 Yeah, well, basically a, a Catholic statesman, his name is Vladimir Polko. He received some private
00:17:56.640 correspondence with Pope Benedict XVI. And there's this letter that he received that he thought was,
00:18:02.400 I mean, it's, it's pretty powerful and he didn't speak of it. He didn't release it. And then once
00:18:08.160 Pope Benedict died, he said, now is the time to reveal it. And the, the really powerful statement
00:18:15.940 that everyone's talking about and discussing goes like this in English. We see how the power of the
00:18:22.320 Antichrist is expanding and we can only pray that the Lord will give us strong shepherds who will
00:18:28.920 defend his church in this hour of need from the power of evil and quote. So he doesn't just say
00:18:37.260 like the Antichrist spirit or demonic influence. He says the Antichrist and how we need shepherds.
00:18:47.040 We need pastors right now to defend his church during this hour. You're not talking about, you know,
00:18:52.520 in the decades to come, he's saying in this hour of need from the power of evil. So this has got
00:18:58.360 everyone discussing, did Pope Benedict believe that he was living in the end times or the prologue
00:19:05.300 to the end times. And, uh, I mean, you go back and Roger who, who released this, this letter,
00:19:13.880 he goes and chronicles all the different times going back into the sixties, maybe even far back as
00:19:19.780 the fifties of Pope Benedict, then Cardinal Ratzinger and Bishop Ratzinger and father Ratzinger
00:19:25.920 discussing this eschatological end times apocalypse theme of the Antichrist. And it seems to be
00:19:33.240 something very much on the mind and the heart of a younger and then a more mature Ratzinger
00:19:39.940 Benedict, which, I mean, keep in mind when people bring up, um, that, that Ratzinger of course lived
00:19:46.740 through world war II in Germany. Um, so, and then of course lived through the, the aftermath of that
00:19:53.200 lived through the cold war. So he, he saw quite, quite a bit of absolute human horror during his
00:19:59.520 lifetime. And yet he, it seems believed that something worse was not just on the horizon,
00:20:06.000 but was actually coming here and now. Yes. And then you have to mix into this, that in 2013,
00:20:13.580 he became the first Pope in 600 years to resign the papacy. So Dreher mentions in the piece
00:20:21.840 that he, he says, should we look at it? And I'll ask you the question, should we look at the
00:20:27.900 resignation in the light of perhaps him believing that the Antichrist is coming? And did he, did he
00:20:36.260 feel like, like he wasn't prepared to, uh, to lead the church through the fight against the Antichrist,
00:20:42.420 that he knew he was, he was becoming ill, even though of course he lived for a decade,
00:20:45.820 uh, there since, does that make sense? Should we look at it that way?
00:20:50.740 I think it's a valid perspective. I don't know if I would completely agree with Rondra there. And
00:20:56.020 then of course there was this whole news, this buzz that the spiritual last Testament of Benedict
00:21:00.980 was going to be released after he died. That came out. I did a video on it on my podcast. It was kind
00:21:05.320 of a, a dud. There was nothing, nothing substance there. What's that kind of a nothing burger,
00:21:11.320 as we would say? It was a big time, nothing burger. And, and we would expect something to
00:21:15.520 be more about his resignation, the, his successor Pope Francis, the Antichrist, something. And it
00:21:21.400 was really nothing. So, you know, did he resign the papacy because he thought he would be maybe
00:21:26.360 be the Pope of the Antichrist under the Antichrist or the Pope of the end times? I mean, I think
00:21:31.100 anybody, if they were told, Hey, you're going to be a president, a Senator, a Pope during the,
00:21:36.500 during the time of the Antichrist, you would begin to sweat bullets. So, I mean, that's
00:21:40.020 definitely a possibility, but I just think it's amazing that he was already thinking that
00:21:46.420 we're moving into or are already in the great tribulation of the Antichrist. And he's either
00:21:54.100 right or wrong. We either are on our way or he was just, you know, misled in his own prediction
00:22:01.460 of that time, but it's certainly got everybody thinking about it. Well, I couldn't agree more
00:22:05.740 on that. And, and, and, and certainly there, there, the other leading theory behind, behind
00:22:10.520 the resignation to say that, you know, if it wasn't to do with health was that it was, wasn't
00:22:14.600 necessarily the resignation, but more of an ouster. Exactly. And I mean, I, I discussed that in my
00:22:20.720 other book infiltration and you look at what happened to Pope Benedict in 2012. Um, you have all
00:22:26.800 these documents, speaking of documents being left in Corvettes, Joe Biden, all these documents from
00:22:32.480 the Pope's personal apartment are being published in newspapers and published in expose books. This
00:22:39.360 was happening in early 2012. And then the Pope's Butler, I mean, it sounds like the movie Clue,
00:22:45.700 the Pope's Butler was arrested. He pled guilty, was found guilty and put in prison for smuggling and
00:22:54.360 releasing private top secret documents of Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Benedict went and visited the
00:23:01.340 butler in jail, pardoned him. And then just a couple months later, renounced the papacy.
00:23:08.400 It's a fascinating story and we don't have all the facts, but definitely something was going on in
00:23:13.700 2012, um, behind the scenes. And it wasn't, I guarantee you, it was not just the butler acting alone.
00:23:20.560 Many people were involved. Dr. Marshall, before we've only got a couple of seconds left,
00:23:24.160 everyone go watch the Taylor Marshall show on YouTube, go get the book Antichrist and Apocalypse
00:23:29.260 and his other book infiltration, as well as, uh, it was a sword and serpent, right? The, uh, the
00:23:34.520 children's, the really young, young adult, more of an adventure series that you've written historic
00:23:38.600 novels. But I've also got to ask you real quick before we end, just saw the news that broke earlier,
00:23:43.420 earlier today, that it looks like Mel Gibson will be with Jim Caviezel starting to film
00:23:49.680 passion of the Christ to the resurrection, all about the descent into hell. How excited are you for
00:23:55.720 that?
00:23:55.940 On a scale to one to 10, I'm at about 38 right now. I'm so psyched. I think it's going to be
00:24:02.120 fantastic. I think Mel Gibson is regardless of what you think of, I think as an artist and as a
00:24:07.920 director, he is brilliant. He's inspired. He's a, he's a Michelangelo of our time. And I'm glad he's
00:24:13.780 working with Jim Caviezel again. And I think it's going to be a magnificent production and I can't wait
00:24:18.460 to learn more and I can't wait to sit down and see it. Couldn't agree more. Dr. Taylor Marshall,
00:24:22.400 everyone, ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
