The Tucker Carlson Show - Tara Reade says Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. After talking publicly about it, she says she's so fearful for her well-being that she left the country and moved to Moscow.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault by a former White House intern named Tara Reade. She s suing him and the Department of Justice for misconduct. But what happened to the sealed case against him? And why is he the target of a sealed criminal investigation by the U.S. Government? Tucker and his co-host discuss this and much more in this exclusive interview with former VP Joe Biden s lawyer, Jillian Manus, on today s episode of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show.

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Tucker Carlson. Welcome to our podcast. The main way that corporate media lied to you

00:00:15.760 is by not telling you things, ignoring stories completely, particularly the important ones.

00:00:21.320 We promise never to do that. You can check out tuckercarlson.com for a complete library

00:00:26.440 of past episodes. Here's today's. So your lawyers have sued the Biden Department of Justice for

00:00:33.300 misconduct. Tell us about the suit, why you filed it, what you hope to achieve by it.

00:00:37.600 Yeah, well, my attorney actually had filed a complaint with the inspector general

00:00:41.840 about the way I was treated by the FBI and DOJ and how they were harassing me.

00:00:47.400 And they didn't receive a response. Surprise, surprise. So after we waited, there was no

00:00:52.860 response. He filed a tort claim and it's for $10 million. And the basically what the outcome will

00:00:59.400 be, hopefully, is that they will open my FBI files and then expunge them. And the criminal case that

00:01:06.520 has been opened against me in Northern California, the one that's sealed, will be revealed. And because

00:01:13.300 that was opened by DOJ and FBI, where they took all my Twitter communications, now X, it's called, but Gmail,

00:01:23.180 you name it, all my social media was taken under sealed warrants. The only reason I know about the sealed

00:01:28.620 warrants and it was publicized is because a Twitter lawyer had called and told me that this has happened and

00:01:36.040 they had made a motion in court to tell me. And so this case had impaneled a grand jury. So it went

00:01:43.160 pretty far. So it's just like shy of indictment. But what are they going to indict me for? Well,

00:01:48.020 they won't tell me. Now, as an American citizen, that's infuriating, right?

00:01:52.620 But I think a lot of, I am confused. I think a lot of people watching this are confused.

00:01:57.860 You, of course, are most famous for recounting in public your experience of sexual assault. And I

00:02:04.960 think it was a sexual assault by then Senator Joe Biden in an elevator when you worked for him.

00:02:10.220 Not an elevator, a quarter. A quarter. I beg your pardon. And unlike a lot of people who make

00:02:14.380 these claims, you have contemporaneous evidence in your mother's call to Larry King Live, which

00:02:20.040 came out years later. It's an amazing story. And I think it's a credible story. But what did you do

00:02:25.300 wrong? How did you wind up the subject of a sealed potential indictment of a criminal investigation by

00:02:32.400 the U.S. government? What was your crime? I think not shutting up. I think because I just

00:02:37.340 wouldn't stop talking. I kept trying to push for an investigation. If you recall, Jen Psaki,

00:02:44.240 she was asked one question one time. Peter Juicy, I think, asked the question and said, you know,

00:02:50.820 about me, about Tara Reade. And she said, oh, that's been litigated. It was never litigated. She lied

00:02:55.040 outright. It's never been litigated. It's never been investigated. You know, and I was asking for an

00:03:01.180 investigating. All they did was pay money to have media hit pieces done on me. But of course they

00:03:06.780 did. And you were attacked. The whole believe all women thing turned out not to be true, I guess.

00:03:12.280 Right. No, no, it's not true. There's no me too. There's no me too. But a criminal investigation

00:03:19.300 into you is a completely separate category. Yeah. And really an escalation of a kind most Americans

00:03:25.360 can't understand. Like, why would they possibly be criminally investigating you? Do you know?

00:03:32.780 Well, there were two. Yeah. I mean, the first one was for perjury when I was an expert witness. And

00:03:38.180 it took me lawyers and thousands of dollars to clear that. They had to drop that case. And then

00:03:42.560 they came at me with a sealed case, which I can't do anything about because I'm not even supposed to

00:03:46.640 know about it. And this is the federal government? Federal, the DOJ, FBI. And so-

00:03:53.960 A sealed case. So there is a- Sealed case.

00:03:56.780 So Soviet, it's hard to believe what you're saying is true, but I think it's checkable. 1.00

00:04:02.040 There's a sealed case against you. They're investigating you for a crime. They won't

00:04:05.260 tell you what the crime is. Right.

00:04:06.840 But it clearly is a felony or they claim it's a felony. Right.

00:04:09.620 Correct? And I posted the sealed warrant. And that's been in the media. So the sealed warrant is

00:04:14.560 visible. You can see the case number. Journalists have tried to look it up. My attorneys tried to

00:04:18.720 look it up. No one will tell them what it is. Then they started coming at me in more subvert ways,

00:04:23.960 which was, you know, basically harassment, death threats, particularly it amped up when

00:04:29.620 Marjorie Taylor Greene and Representative Matt Gaetz asked me to testify in the whistleblowers panel.

00:04:36.340 Like I was going to talk about how difficult it is to be a whistleblower because I had been so

00:04:40.180 targeted. And then when I was about to testify, you know, I'll get to that part. But when I was

00:04:49.120 about to testify, things really amped up as far as threats and, and undermining me. And it was hard

00:04:54.800 to get a job. People thought I was a security threat. There were, you know, innuendos, you know,

00:05:00.940 my reputation was destroyed and we've talked about this. So my attorney basically said, okay,

00:05:06.460 that's that, you know, we're, we're going to, you know, file this complaint. Um, and this came

00:05:12.840 after, you know, when I was here in Moscow, Russia, I, um, came here to publicize my book and to oversee

00:05:22.280 the translation of it. And I did an interview with channel one and, uh, Russian TV channel and channel

00:05:29.120 one is sanctioned apparently. And, um, apparently that was, um, I was here for vacation. So I had packed

00:05:35.160 literally for, for seven days, five days, um, didn't have much with me. And then about midway

00:05:40.960 through, I started getting, um, you know, messages that I was from former intelligence. They were trying

00:05:47.640 to get me messages, whistleblowers, like, look, you know, you're in danger of being indicted. If you go

00:05:52.920 back, I talked to my lawyers about it. Indicted for what? For FARA, the Foreign Registration Act,

00:05:59.160 which is the same thing they went after Maria Boutina for. And Paul Manafort. And Paul Manafort

00:06:06.120 and Maria Boutina. If you read, there's a really good article called the spy who wasn't, who really

00:06:10.660 lays out why she wasn't a spy. And she wasn't, she's now working for the state Duma, but, um,

00:06:15.760 she was definitely targeted, but that set the precedent, Paul Manafort in her case.

00:06:20.400 But wait, just to be clear, you're an American who has accused the sitting president of sexually

00:06:25.500 assaulting you while you worked for him, uh, as a young woman. And you have evidence to prove that

00:06:31.500 that's true. Right. Contemporaneous evidence, which I think is key. And all of a sudden you're the

00:06:38.260 criminal because you wind up in a foreign city and you do a TV interview. Is that, am I missing

00:06:43.760 something? Well, they, in 2019, if you recall, one of the smears that they made against me was that I

00:06:49.820 was a Russian asset, even though I had no ties to Russia, immediately out the gate. That was the Biden

00:06:54.740 campaign told that to the New York times. They said that was their first response, not a denial,

00:07:00.300 not, you know, anything else. They said, Oh, she's a Russian asset. And that started in 2019 and got

00:07:06.200 spread around. And then it continued on and had a life of its own because it was spread by

00:07:11.380 former Obama staff, Edward Isaac Dovere, people like that who have some clout on social media and

00:07:18.460 people listen. So unfortunately there was that kind of overhanging it. So when I came to Moscow,

00:07:25.400 So you make this allegation against the president of the United States, then a candidate,

00:07:29.420 um, a credible allegation. Once again, I wouldn't be talking to you if I didn't think it was credible.

00:07:33.900 I think it is credible. Um, I think it's true. And they don't even respond. They just accuse you of

00:07:41.220 being a traitor to your country. Immediately. That was the first response, not even a denial

00:07:46.040 at first. So I thought that was interesting. And the media amplify this. Oh yes. New York

00:07:50.420 times amplified it. Washington post did. Um, everyone did, um, politico, you know, they did

00:07:56.260 their, they did their due diligence for their, the empire, I guess. Um, I didn't really understand

00:08:02.220 the media at that time. Now you have to understand I'm a regular citizen. I don't have a PR team.

00:08:06.760 I don't have lawyers. I, now I have a lawyer, but then I didn't, I didn't have resources.

00:08:12.060 Where were you living? I was living in California and, um, and I was really naive about, you know,

00:08:19.160 the media. And now I understand. I think a lot of people in 2019, 2020 were still a little naive.

00:08:24.980 Just to be clear, it sounds like you've been a fairly liberal Democrat your whole life.

00:08:29.540 I was, I really had, you know, really believed. I worked for Leon Panetta as an intern. I worked

00:08:35.680 for Joe Biden. I worked as a democratic operative on congressional campaigns. Um, I was trained

00:08:41.820 by Homeland Security. Um, I was trained by Seattle police to do, to help with domestic violence.

00:08:46.820 I was a train, the trainer. Um, I donated my time. I worked for, for Democrats. I believed

00:08:53.320 in it, believed in it wholeheartedly. And so it's been heartbreaking when I came forward

00:08:59.980 with evidence, how I was treated and how I was still treated. Like to this day, like I just

00:09:05.640 get, I mean, I, I get called right now a defector, a traitor. I did back then before I left the U.S.

00:09:11.700 I keep stepping on your story and I'm, and I'm sorry. It's just, it's just a remarkable

00:09:14.580 story when, when you lay it out and give the timeline, it's just, it's amazing what's

00:09:20.380 happened to you. So, so just back to where you were before I interrupted you. So you're

00:09:24.960 here on vacation to get a translation of your book done.

00:09:28.260 Yes.

00:09:29.080 And you do an interview with local TV and then you start getting messages from informed

00:09:34.320 people who you trust. Tara, you're in, you're in danger of being indicted. And what happens

00:09:40.880 then?

00:09:41.840 Well, I would be put into a cage because with, with the FAR Act, it's a backdoor into the

00:09:46.120 Espionage Act, essentially. It's the Federal Registration Act. So you have to register as

00:09:50.400 a foreign agent.

00:09:50.600 Foreign Agent Registration.

00:09:51.840 Registration Act. It's administrative. They never used to even use it, but now they're using

00:09:56.020 it as a backdoor into Espionage. So, so, you know, you might recall the Uhura Group, right?

00:10:01.860 Very well.

00:10:02.460 That you, yes.

00:10:03.020 The Black Nationalists that we defended.

00:10:04.860 Right. They're being sentenced this month, up to 10 years in prison. And I've read through

00:10:11.020 all their whole legal case. And, you know, I have a lot of grief, so I'm interested in

00:10:14.960 those things. And you know what the charge is? Sowing discord. So I want people to really

00:10:20.160 hear this because sowing discord shouldn't be a crime and they shouldn't be able, but

00:10:25.140 they're being actually-

00:10:26.280 Sowing discord?

00:10:27.200 Sowing discord. That's the term under the FARA Act and the backdoor into the Espionage

00:10:33.220 Act. And so they're facing up to 10 years in prison or more. Their passports have been

00:10:38.900 taken away. The sentencing happens this month. They have no ties to Russia. They simply spoke

00:10:45.340 out against the proxy war against, you know, Russia via Ukraine. And for that, they've been

00:10:51.380 punished. And, you know, what I want people to hear is that it's not just January 6th people

00:10:56.460 that are being targeted by the DOJ.

00:10:58.260 No.

00:10:58.640 It's to the left. It's to the right.

00:11:00.560 That's right.

00:11:01.060 It's someone like me that just had a claim against my former employer that should have

00:11:06.320 been investigated properly and should have been adjudicated in a proper way. And I should

00:11:12.040 have been treated with some dignity instead of having my life torn to pieces.

00:11:16.820 Tucker says it best. The credit card companies are ripping Americans off and enough is enough.

00:11:28.400 This is Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas. Our legislation, the Credit Card Competition Act,

00:11:34.420 would help end the grip Visa and MasterCard have on us. Every time you use your credit card,

00:11:40.300 they charge you a hidden fee called a swipe fee, and they've been raising it without even

00:11:44.800 telling you. This hurts consumers and every small business owner. In fact, American families

00:11:50.680 are paying $1,100 in hidden swipe fees each year. The fees Visa and MasterCard charge Americans

00:11:57.860 are the highest in the world, double candidates and eight times more than Europe's. That's

00:12:03.420 why I've taken action, but I need your help to help get this passed. I'm asking you to call

00:12:08.640 your senator today and demand they pass the Credit Card Competition Act.

00:12:22.140 Hillsdale College offers many great free online courses, including a recent one on Marxism,

00:12:27.600 socialism, and communism. Today, Marxism goes by different names to make itself seem less

00:12:32.640 dangerous. Names like critical race theory, gender theory, and decolonization. No matter the names,

00:12:38.780 this online course shows it's the same Marxism that works to destroy private property and that

00:12:44.040 will lead to famines, show trials, and gulags. Start learning online for free at

00:12:57.900 So, again, back to the story. You're in Moscow, where we are now, and you hear that you could be

00:13:10.000 indicted or punished under the Foreign Agent Registration Act for giving this interview with

00:13:14.620 a local TV station. And what do you do? How do you respond? Well, I wanted to look at all the data

00:13:19.780 points. You know, I'm not an impulsive person. I like to think, and I didn't have a lot of time. I mean,

00:13:24.520 we're talking, I had to make this in a 48-hour window, right? And so this was a lot of pressure,

00:13:30.900 but I did. I took the time. I talked to my daughter for hours. I talked to my lawyer. I

00:13:37.400 got more data points of other people who had opinions that were educated. And then I talked

00:13:43.480 to Matt Gaetz. And I am forever grateful that he took my call. And he was, you know, I want to give

00:13:52.420 him some credit here. The congressman from Florida. Yeah, because I was supposed to go the first week

00:13:56.140 of June and walk with him on the Senate floor to get my Senate thing opened. And I wanted to do that.

00:14:02.880 And he advised me, he didn't advise me, I should raise that. He gave me information. He basically

00:14:09.000 just said, you know, I'm worried about you. I'm worried about your personal safety. And you're good

00:14:16.040 where you are, you know, that kind of thing. And he was, he just said he knew how those people

00:14:21.600 operated. And so he was concerned about me. Those people being employees of the U.S. government.

00:14:26.000 Right. And he sits on the Intelligence Committee. So when a U.S. congressman tells you something like

00:14:30.300 that, it's remarkable. That's a remarkable data point, right? That's a remarkable data point. And I

00:14:34.760 trusted him. He could, because he could have easily just said, oh, sure, it'll be fine. And I did ask

00:14:38.580 him, I said, please, you know, congressman, can you help me? Can you get me off these charges? Can you? And he

00:14:45.080 said, no, I can't. I'm sorry. I can't. My hands are tied. I don't even know what they are. And

00:14:50.620 sometimes some of this intelligence isn't shared. But what I can tell you is just that I understand

00:14:56.560 how these people operate. And yeah, I'm really worried about your personal safety. Because I had

00:15:01.840 received death threats at that point. And you think about it, I'm not that well known. I would have been

00:15:07.240 in the news maybe a day or two, maybe you or someone else might have talked about me for a couple of

00:15:12.200 times, but it would be considered a conspiracy theory, like Adam Rich, right? And his death?

00:15:18.740 Seth Rich.

00:15:19.380 Seth Rich, yeah. Seth Rich.

00:15:21.180 So what I find so compelling and shocking about your story is that I still don't understand what

00:15:28.120 you did wrong.

00:15:29.740 In their eyes, they see me as somehow being a traitorous, is the words that they use. I think

00:15:37.020 in the USA today, there was a former CIA agent who gave a quote saying that I, my thoughts about

00:15:44.420 America made him viscerally angry. Because I was talking about inflation. I was talking about the

00:15:51.300 fact that there's 600,000 homeless. I was talking about the fact, you know, I'm involved with

00:15:56.660 geopolitics. I have a law degree. I'm interested in it.

00:15:59.440 So, but you're an American. You spent your whole life in the United States. You worked for the sitting 0.97

00:16:04.360 president. Yeah. Who you say sexually assaulted you. Yeah. You're upset about the state of our

00:16:09.600 economy. Yeah. How does that make you a traitor? Apparently it does. And apparently my views about

00:16:15.960 the proxy war against Russia via Ukraine. And in 2019, I had, I had said, and this is true, 0.64

00:16:23.380 that if Joe Biden was elected, that he would go to war with Russia. You were right. Yeah.

00:16:29.580 So just to bottom line, the path that you took for people who are hearing this for the first time,

00:16:37.660 you decided you could not come home after that. I decided then, and then I had to figure out,

00:16:43.460 well, what does one do? Because you can't just like decide to stay in a country without proper

00:16:47.360 paperwork and a visa, right? You can't just like, oh, I'm just going to hang out here.

00:16:50.460 That would make you a stateless person. Yes. Yes. So I reached out and I'm forever grateful to

00:16:56.420 Maria Butina because Masha helped me. And she helped me with the process of how to, just the

00:17:01.380 how to of applying for political asylum, which I did. And it took a few weeks. Only 10% of those

00:17:08.840 cases get accepted, but they did their, they do their due diligence and they felt that there was

00:17:14.620 enough of a problem where they had to give me asylum. This is after speaking to a U.S. congressman

00:17:20.360 who sits on the House Intel Committee who told you he was worried about your safety. Correct.

00:17:25.160 How hard a decision was that for you? That's a big decision.

00:17:29.560 It was a big decision, but it wasn't just what he said. And I don't want to put this all on

00:17:33.280 Matt Gaetz's shoulders. Yeah. It was, it was several people's and one, I can't really say who it was,

00:17:39.360 but went to great risk to send me a message to say, if you get off that plane, they're going to

00:17:43.620 take you into custody. For what? And violation of the FAR Act. Probably they were talking about

00:17:48.740 violation of sanctions. There was talk that I had read notices, which are, you know,

00:17:53.760 arrest warrants. Like I could have been picked up in Istanbul. And by whom and for what?

00:17:59.620 By the U.S. proxy by, by, you know, that that's how they do it with Interpol. They arrest on behalf

00:18:07.400 of the U.S. like in the UAE and Dubai. So I had a lawyer who actually specialized in people that have

00:18:13.560 that happen to them. And she got the red notices pulled. And so now those are gone now that I'm under

00:18:21.120 asylum, but they'll extradite you from every country. So the only two countries that will not 0.95

00:18:27.620 extradite an American back to America is Iran and Russia. This is a really crazy story. Yeah. 0.54

00:18:34.960 It sounds like you don't have any way to get your story to an American audience.

00:18:39.320 No. No, it's very difficult. I mean, I have a large Twitter following. And I have a podcast that I do.

00:18:49.880 You know, but...

00:18:51.160 But no one has called... What's so interesting to me is we have a supposedly free media in the

00:18:57.560 United States as a backstop against a check against government overreach, too much power in the hands

00:19:03.580 of too few. And so it's supposed to be a self-correcting system. If something truly crazy

00:19:08.400 and totalitarian happens to an American citizen, our media is supposed to take an interest and alert

00:19:13.160 the rest of the country so they know what's going on. So they can say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

00:19:15.680 whoa. I may not like Tara Reade and I don't agree with her or whatever, but you can't do that.

00:19:19.940 You can't arrest someone for no crime or for complaining about the president. Like has anyone

00:19:25.400 from the New York Times called you? No.

00:19:27.200 Or Politico, Politico? No, no.

00:19:29.520 The Daily Beast to say, you know, tell us what's happened with you.

00:19:33.000 Those, those, no, of course not. Those, they only do hit pieces. They only, and they're,

00:19:36.980 they're working for the empire. There, there's no question. They're just working for the,

00:19:40.380 you know, as proxies to the U.S. government. I mean, I think, you know, some of the reporting

00:19:44.520 that Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger have been doing has been really valuable.

00:19:48.260 Yes.

00:19:48.960 Because they've been showing how there's think tanks, actual think tanks that basically

00:19:53.600 put out articles to these, and then they reprint them. They don't even change them that much.

00:19:58.020 So these are planted articles. Like there was all kinds of lies told about me that I lied about

00:20:02.820 my education. Now I never lied about my education, that I defected to Russia. I didn't defect to

00:20:08.020 Russia. I was threatened with my life and my family, and I didn't want my family harmed. I didn't want

00:20:14.060 to be at risk of being put in a cage. And I can't tell you what that conversation was like with my

00:20:20.860 daughter, that, that it was hard.

00:20:24.340 Have you seen her?

00:20:25.660 No.

00:20:26.000 Why?

00:20:27.000 I can't. I can't. Under political asylum, I can't leave the borders of Russia. 0.50

00:20:33.400 Because, you know, I'm under the protection. And to be frank, I don't know when I can ever go back

00:20:38.660 to the U.S. I don't know when there's a safe place.

00:20:40.640 But what have you done?

00:20:42.560 In their eyes, I've committed some sort of crime. And I haven't done anything. And that's the thing.

00:20:49.260 I've never committed a crime. I'm not a traitor. I'm not a spy, not a spy for Russia. I don't have

00:20:55.780 tons of resources. I don't have a PR team. I just told the truth about Joe Biden. I told the truth

00:21:02.620 about what he did to me. And I told the truth about the corruption. And I wouldn't be quiet about it.

00:21:07.740 And I was demanding to be heard. But let's say I'm not going to get $83 million like E. Jean Carroll

00:21:14.720 or a perfume line like Stormy Daniels, right? Or treated like with dignity in the press like those

00:21:21.280 women were because they accused a Republican. No. I was attacked.

00:21:27.540 And no one has defended you.

00:21:30.840 Not really. Rose McGowan. She really has. Megyn Kelly gave me a platform a couple of times. Of

00:21:39.660 course, you have. Other than that, independent media, even the lefties, even though the Me Too

00:21:46.360 reporters, silence. You don't see any Me Too reporters coming and telling my story, do you?

00:21:52.420 Never once. They protect Biden. This is all about catch and kill. And if you recall, I went to Time's

00:21:59.460 Up for help, right? Time's Up. Roberta Kaplan, who just represented E. Jean Carroll. Roberta Kaplan

00:22:06.860 had to resign from Time's Up because she was smearing me and the Cuomo, you know, survivors,

00:22:13.060 the people that talked about Cuomo. And because she did that, she had to resign. Time's Up was

00:22:17.680 dismantled. And she went on to represent, you know, E. Jean Carroll. And E. Jean Carroll publicly

00:22:24.820 said that she was going to now support Biden and give him money. Just, it's unbelievable.

00:22:30.600 It's totally evil. It's completely evil.

00:22:32.400 It is evil.

00:22:34.240 Where does it, I just can't get past this question, and I don't want to upset you, but of

00:22:38.400 your daughter. I mean, you have a child in the United States.

00:22:41.660 Yeah. That's been hard. You know, I missed her graduation. She got her master's. They went after

00:22:50.220 her, actually, while I was here in Russia. The first month I was here, a bunch of Democratic troll 0.93

00:22:58.340 farms or whatever doxed her photo, her work address, tried to get her fired. She was interning as a 1.00

00:23:05.380 therapist. She's a therapist with children. She works with play therapy, with children who've

00:23:09.680 been traumatized. And they tried to get her fired. And they were saying it out loud and calling the

00:23:14.120 work. But luckily, you know, my daughter's work is, you know, not interested in those kinds of,

00:23:19.600 you know, smears. So my daughter's fine. But like, you know, having her face plastered everywhere,

00:23:25.580 because she's associated with me. My horse was almost kidnapped.

00:23:30.940 They literally came and took him almost on a trailer. And luckily, the owners of the stable

00:23:37.240 were there. So I'm getting this calls at three in the morning in Moscow, that my horse is being

00:23:41.920 loaded on a trailer by someone I don't know, who's going to take him for Joe Biden. That was what they

00:23:47.220 were saying. They were taking him for Joe, like some so luckily, he's safe. But I mean, it's been sort

00:23:53.640 of relentless. It's been, you know, and I know public figures, you know, I don't consider myself

00:23:59.140 a public figure, but other public figures do get harassed like that. But when you're a regular

00:24:03.740 citizen like I am, it's really daunting, especially if we don't have the resources to protect yourself,

00:24:10.320 right? And which I didn't.

00:24:12.600 Do you expect to be able to see your daughter anytime soon?

00:24:14.840 I don't know. I don't feel comfortable putting her in, you know, the spotlight again. She's about 0.72

00:24:25.980 to get married.

00:24:27.720 Can you go to the wedding?

00:24:28.900 I can't go to the wedding.

00:24:32.880 And, you know, I'm upset. But, you know, and I don't want to be a victim here. I just,

00:24:40.780 I'm angry. And I want Joe Biden to be held accountable. He's taken years of my life.

00:24:46.800 He's destroyed it three times over. And I'm just, I'm going to continue to fight.
