Summary
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?

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
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?
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,
00:11:53.260
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
00:23:55.940
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.
