00:01:29.000 Joe Biden is in the midst of a scandal, a classified document scandal.

00:01:35.000 The media is getting very excited about this.

00:01:41.000 Joe Biden allegedly mishandled classified information at his Delaware home in his office at the University of Pennsylvania Center, the Biden Center.

00:01:52.000 Now, while we can and we should delight in Biden being miserable and being basically on defense after he had called half the country semi-fascist and was a craven dictator-like president in so many different ways, we also should be really worried and horrified as we take a step back and we say, who's actually doing this?

00:02:15.000 Who's in charge?

00:02:17.000 Who is in charge of our government?

00:02:20.000 It's not the people.

00:02:21.000 We've known that for a while.

00:02:22.000 It certainly isn't who the people give power to, the congressional legislative branch.

00:02:28.000 It's not the courts.

00:02:29.000 It is the creation of the administrative state, the administrative state, this fourth branch of government that is unelected, unknown, unaccountable.

00:02:36.000 And two things can be simultaneously true.

00:02:41.000 It can be true that Joe Biden deserves to be removed from President of the United States for a variety of different reasons, selling out America, treason, lying, mishandling of classified information, whatever.

00:02:55.000 I'm not going to defend Joe Biden in any way, shape, or form.

00:02:58.000 But the second thing can simultaneously be true, which is they are doing the same sort of maneuver that they tried to do against Donald Trump.

00:03:07.000 And if we were disgusted with this fourth branch of government, what they did against Donald Trump, we also should be alarmed that they're going to keep on doing this to presidents that they do not like.

00:03:17.000 Now, why are they doing this to Joe Biden?

00:03:20.000 I think the answer is very simple.

00:03:21.000 I don't think it's overly complicated.

00:03:23.000 I think that they were worried that Joe Biden's popularity and electability going into 2024 puts the regime in jeopardy.

00:03:32.000 They want to control the line of succession.

00:03:35.000 It's that simple.

00:03:36.000 They want to be able to call shots.

00:03:38.000 The machine made Joe Biden, and therefore the machine can remove Joe Biden.

00:03:44.000 Remember, it happened after Joe Biden finished fifth in the Iowa caucus, and he finished fourth in the New Hampshire primary.

00:03:52.000 Out of nowhere, they reset the whole race in South Carolina. 0.98

00:03:55.000 I remember I was in Florida watching an out of nowhere.

00:03:58.000 Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg all endorsed Joe Biden in a matter of hours.

00:04:03.000 They dropped out.

00:04:04.000 Pete and Kamala dropped out in an obviously coordinated move.

00:04:10.000 Joe Biden received the endorsement of Jim Clyburn.

00:04:13.000 He won South Carolina.

00:04:15.000 The nation locks down for COVID and Joe Biden was coronated as the Democrat nominee.

00:04:21.000 And they had to do this as a way to stop Bernie Sanders, who was a legitimate systemic threat from the left, someone who would have actually gone after the excesses and the plundering and the theft of the American ruling class.

00:04:34.000 Joe Biden would always make a promise to protect the American ruling class.

00:04:39.000 Now, Joe Biden was made by the machine, but now Joe Biden's sex appeal to the fourth branch of government has been waning.

00:04:45.000 It has been diminishing.

00:04:46.000 It has been evaporating.

00:04:48.000 Joe Biden is no longer nearly as important to the long-term aims and ambitions of the administrative state of the Leviathan as it was in 2020.

00:05:00.000 Let's go to cut six, MSNBC commenting on this, and then the Biden spokesperson, Ian Sams, responds, play cut six.

00:05:10.000 Can you give us a sense of how many classified documents we are now talking about total across all three locations?

00:05:17.000 Sure, it's a good question.

00:05:18.000 And actually, the answer to it is a little bit complicated because of this point that I'm making about the integrity of an ongoing Justice Department investigation.

00:05:26.000 The Justice Department is going to be looking at all sorts of questions like that throughout their investigation.

00:05:31.000 Let me be very clear.

00:05:32.000 This is going to sound a little bit controversial.

00:05:34.000 I'm actually glad the fourth branch of government did the maneuver they did to prevent Bernie Sanders from becoming the Democrat nominee.

00:05:43.000 Bernie Sanders was a legitimate revolutionary.

00:05:47.000 It would not end well.

00:05:49.000 It would humble the elite, but I will take Joe Biden, who is corrupt and, yes, communistic and globalistic, but he's no Bernie Sanders.

00:05:58.000 Bernie Sanders was a legit ideological Bolshevik.

00:06:02.000 But it should worry us.

00:06:03.000 It should concern us because I'm a little bit upset that some conservatives in media are saying, man, this is just wonderful.

00:06:12.000 Joe Biden is finally getting investigated.

00:06:14.000 And yeah, of course, I mean, I want to see Joe Biden in prison.

00:06:17.000 I think he deserves that.

00:06:18.000 I think he should be in prison with Hunter Biden and his brother.

00:06:21.000 I think they've done decades of crimes in every possible arena of cover-ups and inside deals that make Frank Underwood look like a foreign missionary. 0.74

00:06:32.000 But that's not really what's at play here.

00:06:36.000 What's at play here is another repeated step of who's actually in charge.

00:06:43.000 Look, the fourth branch of government operates to the beat of their own drum.

00:06:51.000 Now, you might say, well, Charlie, who are these people?

00:06:54.000 It's a mixture of private and public interests.

00:06:56.000 And in fact, I'm going to put out a theory.

00:07:03.000 I believe that Barack Hussein Obama is involved in the greenlighting of the persecution of Joe Biden.

00:07:14.000 I believe that Barack Hussein Obama is aware, if not orchestrating, this deep state operation against Joe Biden.

00:07:24.000 Think about it.

00:07:25.000 Barack Obama was never thrilled with Joe Biden.

00:07:28.000 He always looked at him as a means to the end.

00:07:30.000 He's probably a little bit miffed, too, that Joe Biden is getting all these big pieces of spending bills passed. 0.99

00:07:37.000 Obama is an arrogant narcissist. 0.87

00:07:40.000 He wants to be remembered as the most progressive president of a lifetime. 0.99

00:07:44.000 Obama is the one that wants to have the presidential libraries and the speaking engagements.

00:07:50.000 One of the things that Obama was most proud of, hilariously, we can get this piece of tape, by the way, and it wasn't true, but one of the things he kept on repeating over and over and over and over again.

00:08:03.000 At the end of his presidency, Obama said that we left office without any scandals.

00:08:12.000 When Donald Trump took over, Obama said it time and time again.

00:08:15.000 Look at some tape here.

00:08:16.000 And it was always really perplexing for those of us, okay, what about Benghazi and the Iris targeting scandal and gun running and Brian Terry and the open border and Iran and all that. 0.85

00:08:23.000 I mean, it was just, it's such a ridiculous thing to say.

00:08:25.000 But what Obama was actually saying was he was bragging that he was able to survive without being Nixoned, Kennedy'd, or maybe Bidened. 0.95

00:08:40.000 What he was saying is that he was able to survive all eight years without that fourth branch of government to be able to remove him.

00:08:52.000 There's also possibly a move afoot to replace Kamala Harris with Gavin Newsom as vice president.

00:08:58.000 Nancy Pelosi very well could be behind this.

00:09:00.000 But I really believe that Barak Hussein Obama is the conductor of this orchestra.

00:09:10.000 Remember, Barack Obama used to say that a dream job would be me in the basement and I would be telling somebody in their ear how to act.

00:09:18.000 And of course, that was done.

00:09:20.000 People say, oh, he was just joking.

00:09:22.000 It was done with some levity, was it?

00:09:25.000 Barack Obama is so useful to the regime and he did everything the security state asked of him.

00:09:31.000 Everything.

00:09:31.000 And that's why he bragged after eight years.

00:09:33.000 I survived without a scandal.

00:09:35.000 He didn't survive that a scandal.

00:09:36.000 He survived without the Leviathan removing him.

00:09:42.000 Now, what does Obama want?

00:09:44.000 I think Obama wants to protect his legacy.

00:09:48.000 I think Obama is petty.

00:09:49.000 We know that. 0.53

00:09:53.000 We know that Obama is petty. 1.00

00:09:55.000 We know that Obama is narcissistic. 0.99

00:09:57.000 We know that it's all about him.

00:09:59.000 Is it possible that Obama's kind of over Joe Biden?

00:10:03.000 Like, okay, Joe, thanks for getting rid of Trump.

00:10:05.000 Now I'm going to show you who's in charge.

00:10:07.000 Obama was the mentor to Biden in the sense of I was president and I brought you along, Joe.

00:10:14.000 I'm not going to let you be known as the more progressive president.

00:10:22.000 2022 is history, but have you thought about what you'll do in 2023?

00:10:27.000 How will you make it better than last year?

00:11:36.000 You must remember, Obama campaigned on going after the deep state, the fourth branch of government.

00:11:44.000 Obama ran a quasi-populist campaign very successfully in 2008.

00:11:50.000 Let's remember some of the promises that Obama ran on.

00:11:54.000 Obama ran on closing Gitmo.

00:11:59.000 Obama ran on getting rid of the Patriot Act.

00:12:02.000 Obama ran on getting rid of the secret courts.

00:12:06.000 Obama ran on allowing members of the citizenry to weigh in on bills.

00:12:16.000 I think it was three days to weigh in on bills before it's ever passed.

00:12:20.000 Obama in 2007 and 2008, that was really the beginning of my political career in the sense I lived in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:12:30.000 Obama had messianic-like following in the local area.

00:12:36.000 You could not go into a coffee shop.

00:12:38.000 You could not go into a restaurant.

00:12:40.000 You could not turn on a television without seeing Obama bumper stickers, t-shirts, people talking about it.

00:12:50.000 The closest thing I've ever lived through in comparison to Obama was the Chicago Cubs and the 2016 World Series, where it is all-encompassing.

00:13:01.000 It has this cascade over the city, where no matter where you go, you're checking out at a grocery store.

00:13:08.000 You are talking to family members.

00:13:11.000 Conversations would just end with go cubs.

00:13:15.000 And as I got closer and closer and eventually won the 2016 World Series, I then knew Donald Trump must win the presidency a couple of days later because the heavens have opened and the Cubs have won the World Series.

00:13:26.000 But back in 08, when Obama was originally running, it was that same sort of thing.

00:13:29.000 Every conversation was laced with a, so how would you like your latte, hope and change?

00:13:36.000 Hope you guys enjoy your meal.

00:13:38.000 Progress forward.

00:13:41.000 Everything had components of the Obama language and lexicon.

00:13:46.000 And part of the appeal of Barack Obama was, I'm going to end the wars.

00:13:51.000 I'm going to go after that fourth branch of government.

00:13:53.000 I'm going to make the security state of George W. Bush come to heel.

00:13:58.000 He seemed so moderate.

00:13:59.000 He seemed as if a populist, people-led revolutionary.

00:14:03.000 He even made promises of using the power of the executive branch to go after the bankers in 2008, that he wasn't going to allow Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers and all of these people that have been, in his own words, plundering the American middle class to continue.

00:14:21.000 And of course, Obama did none of that because Obama, very quickly when he became president, he was sobered.

00:14:29.000 And Obama had a choice to make.

00:14:32.000 Obama was approached by the fourth branch of government, the regulatory agencies, the FDIC, the SEC, the CEA, CIA, the FTC, the FBI, all the alphabet letter agencies.

00:14:46.000 And they met with Barack Obama during the transition period.

00:14:49.000 And Obama had a choice to make.

00:14:51.000 Sure, you could be the revolutionary type candidate that you promise people to be, or you could keep on saying hope and change, progress and forward, make a couple changes in the healthcare industry, but you are not going to touch the FISA courts.

00:15:04.000 You're not going to touch the black box budget of the CIA.

00:15:07.000 You're not going to touch Operation Coin Intel Pro, Co-Intel Pro.

00:15:13.000 You're not going to touch Operation Mockingbird equivalent.

00:15:15.000 You are going to be the nice smiling face of the Praetorian Guard.

00:15:22.000 And slowly but surely, Obama started to backtrack on these promises.

00:15:28.000 And his followers, some of the more astute ones, started to point it out, but he was just so appealing.

00:15:33.000 He had a smile a mile wide.

00:15:35.000 He was Barack Obama, after all.

00:15:36.000 He went on Jimmy Fallon.

00:15:39.000 He went on Jimmy Kimmel.

00:15:41.000 At the time, he went on David Letterman.

00:15:43.000 On Jay Leno.

00:15:44.000 He was able to wine and dine with celebrities.

00:15:46.000 He was able to do the between two ferns, but then Obama was, he benefited from identity politics.

00:15:52.000 As we started to talk about race more, Barack Obama became a massive beneficiary of that.

00:15:57.000 And no one actually cared if he protected the fourth branch of government or assailed the fourth branch of government, but put simply, Obama brokered a deal.

00:16:07.000 Obama brokered a deal that I'm not going to touch.

00:16:10.000 You're spying, you're surveilling.

00:16:12.000 I'm not going to touch your unconstitutional.

00:16:14.000 I'm not going to touch the drone program where we are just obliterating entire families in the Middle East, done probably unconstitutionally and only escalated conflict overseas.

00:16:27.000 No, I'm just going to smile, wave, pick March Madness selections and be useful to all of you because he wanted the power, the prestige, and he did not want to be known as the guy who won the historic 08 election and was removed in scandal.

00:16:47.000 And therefore, the fourth branch of government covered for him.

00:16:50.000 He became a proxy of the deep state that soon targeted Donald Trump and I believe is now involved in a crossfire operation, but it is not crossfire hurricane.

00:17:05.000 Obama is likely the one that is greenlighting it or at least aware of it.

00:17:09.000 I'm going to talk more about the significance of this as we get back, as we try to pinpoint who is behind this crossfire operation of Joe Biden.

00:17:20.000 Noble Gold Investments is pleased to let you know that gold was the best investment class for 2022.

00:17:27.000 Through all our record-breaking inflation, crashing stock market, the crypto scams, there is one asset that has held its own: gold.

00:17:36.000 According to longtermtrends.net, gold has actually outperformed the SP 500, Dow, and Bitcoin for 2022.

00:17:44.000 Had you invested in the SP 500 a year ago, you would be down more than 20%.

00:17:49.000 If you invested in Bitcoin a year ago, you'd be down more than 65%.

00:17:53.000 If you invested in the Dow a year ago, you'd be down almost 10%.

00:17:56.000 Yes, gold has outperformed them all in 2022, and silver is not far behind.

00:18:02.000 Yes, while the world was busy hailing other assets as the real hedge, gold and silver are the only assets that would have protected your wealth.

00:18:10.000 So join the thousands of others by opening a gold IRA or silver IRA with Noble Gold Investments.

00:18:16.000 Get in right now and you'll bag a free one-fourth of an ounce American gold eagle coin with every qualified IRA of $50,000 or more.

00:18:24.000 You can't go wrong with Noble Gold Investments and their thousands of five-star reviews.

00:18:31.000 From the Washington Post, the White House and the Justice Department reportedly agreed to hide Joe Biden's classified document scandal from the American people until it leaked to the press despite their repeated claims of transparency.

00:18:46.000 So they bury, the Department of Justice pledged to hide this classified document scandal.

00:18:54.000 But then something changed.

00:18:55.000 What did change?

00:18:57.000 We don't know.

00:18:59.000 Now remember, they found it on November 2nd, right before the midterms, but they intentionally held it close to the vest to allow the midterms play out.

00:19:08.000 They didn't want to get in the way of Fetterman or Katie Hobbs or any of these grand scandals that occurred.

00:19:17.000 One final question on this, and then we're going to have Mike Davis from the Article 3 project, which is, why has Obama said nothing?

00:19:26.000 Obama tweets quite often, so does Michelle Obama about every little issue.

00:19:33.000 They get COVID.

00:19:34.000 They tweet, I have COVID and I am quarantining, but thankfully, even though I have COVID, I am vaccinated.

00:19:40.000 They'll tweet out every little issue.

00:19:43.000 But Obama's been radio silent on the Biden document handling issue.

00:19:46.000 Why is the press not clamoring to go find Obama and ask his thoughts on this?

00:19:53.000 Where is Obama exactly?

00:19:54.000 Which one of his mansions is he chilling at?

00:19:58.000 Is he in Martha's Vineyard?

00:19:58.000 Is he in Hawaii?

00:20:01.000 I find it very hard to believe that Obama would not be at the very least aware of this crossfire operation to go after Joe Biden.

00:20:13.000 I want your thoughts.

00:20:14.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:20:15.000 Joining us now is Mike Davis from the Article 3 Project.

00:20:18.000 Mike, welcome back to the program.

00:20:20.000 What is the latest on the document scandal and saga?

00:20:24.000 Is it correct that the federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, raided Biden's home this last weekend?

00:20:30.000 I wouldn't call it a raid.

00:20:31.000 The Biden Justice Department is working very closely with the Biden White House and Biden's personal attorneys to carefully choreograph and orchestrate this search in Delaware.

00:20:45.000 Remember, they found these documents more than two months ago.

00:20:49.000 The only reason that we're even learning about this, it sounds like Biden turned these over to his political appointee at the National Archives, and then the Inspector General of the National Archives got wind of this and turned it over to the Justice Department.

00:21:04.000 We may have never learned about this if the National Archives Inspector General didn't get wind of this, and they've covered this up for two months.

00:21:12.000 And remember, during this time, they had these documents on November 2nd, as you said, midterms are November 8th.

00:21:20.000 They buried this.

00:21:22.000 November 18th, Attorney General Merrick Garland should have immediately appointed a special counsel because he can't investigate his boss, President Trump.

00:21:32.000 And so what happens 16 days after they find these documents on November 18th?

00:21:37.000 Garland appoints a special counsel, but to go after Trump for the Mar-a-Lago documents that Trump was legally entitled to have under the Presidential Records Act.

00:21:46.000 So this has been a complete cover-up.

00:21:48.000 They've allowed Biden's attorneys to perform the first four searches of these documents.

00:21:55.000 They keep finding these documents after Biden has assured the American people that they've done a complete search and there are no more documents.

00:22:02.000 They keep finding more.

00:22:03.000 And it wasn't until this fifth time that the FBI actually went in to look for these documents.

00:22:08.000 They didn't just rely on the Biden lawyers, which is highly unusual, extraordinary that the Biden Justice Department, but Biden Justice Department is allowing Biden's lawyers to do this search of this crime scene, of these crime scenes.

00:22:23.000 They're letting Joe Biden and Jill Biden and maybe Hunter, who knows, taint these crime scenes by going to them.

00:22:30.000 They should have sent, they should have appointed a special counsel immediately on November 2nd.

00:22:35.000 They should have gotten search warrants and they should have searched these homes immediately to secure the crime scenes and get these documents.

00:22:42.000 And this has been a complete cover-up by Attorney General Merrick Garland colluding with the Biden White House all along.

00:22:48.000 Is it your theory then that this was something that Joe Biden obviously did and now has gone out of control?

00:22:56.000 Why are we, why is this?

00:22:57.000 Do you think Joe Biden's being targeted by the fourth branch of government, or is it just that Joe Biden was so reckless this became too big to cover up?

00:23:06.000 Well, it's unclear.

00:23:07.000 I think once the inspector general from the National Archives got wind of this, they couldn't cover this up anymore.

00:23:13.000 You have to wonder why were Biden's personal attorneys, high-priced personal attorneys, closing down his Penn Biden office at 101 Constitution Avenue?

00:23:25.000 You don't have attorneys go close down your office at $1,500 an hour or more.

00:23:30.000 That's something that you would have a junior aide do.

00:23:33.000 So why were these attorneys looking for documents in the first place in the Penn Biden Center?

00:23:38.000 Is there a subpoena from the Delaware matter, maybe the tax evasion matter up in Delaware?

00:23:45.000 What caused attorneys to go do the search of these documents?

00:23:48.000 You have to ask that question.

00:23:49.000 It just seems improbable that Biden sent his very expensive attorneys to go close down his Penn Biden office.

00:23:56.000 And why is this dripping out?

00:23:59.000 And why is there a different standard?

00:24:01.000 Remember, Garland sent in an unnecessary, unprecedented, unlawful home raid on former President Trump and the office of the former president, where under the Presidential Records Act and under appropriations by Congress, President Trump is allowed to have his presidential records, classified or not.

00:24:20.000 That's why he gets federally funded staff, federally funded staff with security clearances, federally funded secure office space called SCIF secret service protection.

00:24:29.000 Vice President Joe Biden, former vice presidents only get secret service protection for up to six months after they leave office.

00:24:36.000 There is a two and a half year gap where these were president, former Vice President Biden did not have secret service protection until he was a presidential candidate again.

00:24:47.000 They have to get to the bottom of this.

00:24:48.000 Why isn't the FBI raiding the Rehoboth Beach home of President Biden?

00:24:54.000 Why isn't the FBI doing interviews of Joe, Jill, Hunter, James Biden, and others who had access to these records?

00:25:01.000 This is a cover-up.

00:25:03.000 Is it conceivable that the fourth branch of government, the administrative state, is covering up the extent and the severity of the crime, but that some of the, let's just say, more influential members of the fourth branch, it could be Christopher Wray, could be former FBI director James Comey, Peter Struckströg-Smirk, Lisa Page, the private public actors that kind of traverse the government lines to big tech, which you cover really wonderfully.

00:25:29.000 Is it possible that they now see an opportunity that at first it was, okay, this is a mess with Biden, but now we see an opportunity to both remove Donald Trump from potentially being president and get Joe Biden out of office that we can get rid of two people, one that we really think is a threat and one that we think is just so woefully unpopular and is basically gone past its expiration date.

00:25:51.000 Well, we've seen the FBI and the Justice Department influence the last two presidential elections.

00:25:58.000 So it's not inconceivable that they would do this.

00:26:00.000 I have zero confidence in the leadership of the FBI.

00:26:04.000 I think they're rotten to the core. 0.99

00:26:05.000 I think they're corrupt. 0.99

00:26:06.000 So I wouldn't put it past them at all.

00:26:08.000 And that also applies to the broader Intel community.

00:26:12.000 And so I wouldn't put it past them at all. 0.99

00:26:14.000 I mean, they look, Joe Biden was their useful idiot, and he's no longer useful. 0.98

00:26:21.000 So, you know, it's maybe it's time to throw Uncle Joe overboard or at least make it where he's not going to run for reelection. 0.99

00:26:30.000 Yeah, and that I suppose that's the question.

00:26:32.000 So then how do you see this proceeding so that you now have two special counsels simultaneously investigating similar crimes of a former and a current president?

00:26:45.000 I mean, it's just, it's obvious that somebody within our government, the administrative state, saw handling of classified documents as an opportunity, and they seized on it for both a current and former president.

00:27:02.000 Yeah, I mean, here's the difference between Trump and Biden.

00:27:06.000 Presidents of the United States have the absolute constitutional power as commander in chief and the absolute statutory power under the Presidential Records Act to declassify and take personal copies of any of their presidential records, classified or not.

00:27:22.000 As we discussed, former presidents get congressionally funded staff, security clearance, secure office space, secret service protection for life.

00:27:30.000 Former vice presidents like Biden do not get any of those protections.

00:27:35.000 What President Trump did was absolutely legal.

00:27:38.000 It's what former presidents have done in the past, including Bush 43, including Clinton, all of them.

00:27:45.000 They're allowed to take their presidential records.

00:27:47.000 Former vice presidents are not allowed to steal their president's classified presidential records.

00:27:53.000 And that's exactly what Joe Biden has done here.

00:27:55.000 And this is no accident.

00:27:57.000 They have found five sets of classified stolen presidential records from the Obama White House and from the Senate.

00:28:05.000 They found five sets in at least three different locations, right?

00:28:09.000 Including in his personal files at the Penn Biden Center at 101 Constitution Avenue Northwest, in his garage where President Biden is so dumb he came out and admitted to Ducey from Fox that he knew that those records were in his garage next to his Corvette, but they're safe because they're in his garage somehow.

00:28:30.000 And then in his private study in his home.

00:28:32.000 So it's very clear that Biden knew that he had these records.

00:28:37.000 It's illegal to have these records.

00:28:39.000 And the FBI and the Biden Justice Department have been protecting him for the last two months.

00:28:45.000 Mike Davis continues with us here.

00:28:47.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:28:49.000 That is freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:28:52.000 I want to get into your op-ed here.

00:28:53.000 Biden's theft of classified documents is serious.

00:28:56.000 DOJ is not taking it seriously.

00:28:58.000 But Mike, let me ask you, theoretically, Obama could bail Joe Biden out a little bit here, or at least add some murkiness.

00:29:07.000 Could Obama come out and say, hey, actually, I declassified these documents.

00:29:11.000 Conceivably, he could say that, correct?

00:29:14.000 Absolutely.

00:29:15.000 He could.

00:29:15.000 Now, remember, these are President Obama's presidential records, classified presidential records, then Vice President Joe Biden stole and stuck in his office and garage and maybe exposed to his Chinese agents.

00:29:32.000 Who knows what he did with these documents?

00:29:33.000 The FBI needs to get to the bottom of this.

00:29:35.000 I don't know if they will because they seem to be covering for the Bidens.

00:29:39.000 But yeah, absolutely.

00:29:40.000 If President Obama came out and lied and said that he declassified these documents and he told Joe Biden, then Vice President Joe Biden that he can have them, that would be absolutely legal.

00:29:54.000 Yeah, so that's an interesting question, right?

00:29:56.000 So, and based on your legal expertise, it wouldn't even require a document to show that.

00:30:05.000 It could just say Barack Obama could have verbally told Joe Biden these are declassified.

00:30:12.000 So this is the big story.

00:30:14.000 Obama could totally bail out Joe Biden right now.

00:30:16.000 Obama could come out and say, actually, I told him these were all declassified, therefore there's no scandal.

00:30:22.000 Obama could save Biden's behind here, absolutely.

00:30:25.000 As the president of the United States, he's the commander-in-chief under the Constitution.

00:30:31.000 The president has the absolute constitutional power to declassify anything he wants in any manner he wants.

00:30:38.000 He doesn't have to get any bureaucrats' permission who works for him.

00:30:41.000 He doesn't have to jump through any bureaucratic hoops.

00:30:44.000 That's what I've been arguing since August with President Trump, that President Trump absolutely had the right to declassify records and take them to Mor-a-Lago.

00:30:52.000 And he didn't have to go get any sign off from anyone.

00:30:56.000 So yes, President Obama could come out and say, I declassified these records and told Joe Biden he can have them.

00:31:03.000 And that would end the investigation immediately because there would be zero legal basis to go after Biden for having these records because again, presidents cannot violate the espionage.

00:31:13.000 There you go.

00:31:16.000 No, finish your thought.

00:31:19.000 Presidents have the power to declassify, classify and declassify flows from the president's constitutional power as commander in chief.

00:31:29.000 The Espionage Act applies to everyone else on the planet except for the president of the United States.

00:31:35.000 And I've been consistently saying this since the Mar-a-La- That's right.

00:31:39.000 But I think we have just touched on something that is a little bit, not breaking news, but a little bit of a new twist on this, that Barack Hussein Obama could right now do a press conference.

00:31:50.000 Actually, all those documents were declassified.

00:31:54.000 And there's no here.

00:31:55.000 There's no there.

00:31:56.000 And that would basically bail out Joe Biden.

00:31:58.000 Now, we actually might be giving them a little bit of an escape hatch here.

00:32:02.000 However, Mike, if that were the case, that means that there would be no investigation into Trump.

00:32:09.000 So Obama bailing out Joe Biden would give a baseline legal theory that the investigation into Donald Trump is baseless, which we do believe it is.

00:32:19.000 Well, it's baseless because, look, we know that the Trump investigation is baseless.

00:32:24.000 They've been investigating this since August.

00:32:27.000 If they had a case, they would have indicted Trump.

00:32:29.000 And they know they do not have a case.

00:32:31.000 They know that as a matter of law, it is legally impossible for a president of the United States to violate the Espionage Act.

00:32:38.000 They know this.

00:32:39.000 All they have to do, all Merrick Garland has to do is walk down the hall to the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department, OLC, and get an advisory opinion on this, get a legal opinion on whether you can indict a president of the United States for violating the Espionage Act.

00:32:55.000 And the answer is clearly no.

00:32:56.000 They know it.

00:32:57.000 They're playing political games here.

00:32:59.000 They're investigating Trump to give cover to Biden.

00:33:03.000 This is what the Democrats, this is what the FBI, this is what the politicized Justice Department, this is what the deep state does all along.

00:33:11.000 They accuse conservatives of what they are doing themselves.

00:33:15.000 It's the ultimate gaslighting.

00:33:17.000 And that explains the Mar-a-Lago raid.

00:33:19.000 This explains a lot that they're, how long do they know about these classified records?

00:33:24.000 And we have to get to the bottom of this.

00:33:26.000 I think that James Comer on the House Oversight Committee is doing a good job of getting out there.

00:33:33.000 And he needs to keep pushing hard on this.

00:33:37.000 I don't know where Jim Jordan is.

00:33:38.000 This is the House Judiciary Committee's jurisdiction.

00:33:41.000 He seems to be AWOL, but James Comer is out there aggressively going after this.

00:33:45.000 And that is a good thing.

00:33:47.000 Mike Davis, thank you so much.

00:33:48.000 Obama could save Joe Biden with one tweet or one press conference, but he's choosing to remain silent.

00:33:54.000 I wonder why.

00:33:55.000 Mike, thank you so much.
