00:01:13.920But if you gave me four questions to ask and said you get them only if you ask these four questions, these four questions only, I would tell them to pound sand no matter who it was, because that's not doing an interview.
00:01:28.940You might as well just have the president sit there at the White House and say, here are the four questions I'm going to answer today that I chose.
00:01:34.660Yeah, look, I've done hundreds of interviews, if not maybe thousands of interviews.
00:01:44.820To the best of my knowledge, I've certainly never submitted questions.
00:01:48.560To the best of my knowledge, no one on my team has.
00:01:51.240Now, what is typical is what you just said.
00:01:53.320If you're doing an interview, let's say I'm going on Hannity.
00:01:56.540It's typical that my press team will talk with Hannity's producers and they'll discuss some topics.
00:02:03.420So if you're going to talk about the Biden debate or if you're going to talk about illegal immigration or sometimes there's some story that just broke of like Israel or the terrorist, you know, being the the eight terrorists, suspected terrorists from Tajikistan just released.
00:02:21.400If there's a story that just broke, the producer will tell my press team, hey, Sean wants to ask about this.
00:02:28.400So you have some idea what the topic is you're discussing so that you can be prepared.
00:02:35.240But I'll tell you, my guess is of the interviews I do, at least half of them, they ask me something that is not a topic that they mentioned at all.
00:02:43.000So, you know, it's helpful to have, OK, if we're going to do Israel, I should probably be up on the latest developments of what's happened on Israel in the last few days.
00:02:52.840But it is an absolute violation of journalistic ethics and norms to simply read the questions the campaign handed you.
00:03:04.940And and and the absolute arrogance that the Biden campaign has, that they they fully assume that that that that fake journalists will be more than happy to comply.
00:03:18.140Senator, I got two more questions for you, and it deals again with the media.
00:03:21.980One, the media hypocrisy, I think, is at an all time high.
00:03:25.420But how long until the media gets back in line and it's business as usual, how many more days can they continue to go after Joe Biden if he refuses to drop out?
00:03:36.480Well, I think the instant Biden is out and they coronate the next person, then the media will absolutely fall in line and it will become a straight on cheerleading.
00:03:58.660But, you know, let me make a couple of quick more observations on that point.
00:04:04.060You know, as you and I were talking about doing interviews and getting questions ahead of time, as I said, I've done a gazillion of them and have not had the questions ahead of time.
00:04:13.440But, you know, I was actually thinking about it on this podcast.
00:04:23.580But even when we interview people on this podcast, we've never given people questions ahead of time.
00:04:29.100And I actually thought back to an interview that on this podcast, actually, before you were my co-host, when it was Michael Knowles and me, where we interviewed Bill Barr.
00:04:40.800And we interviewed Bill Barr at the Department of Justice.
00:05:02.900This is not trying to, you know, go stick it to him.
00:05:05.480And I didn't, but it ended up being it was one of our most listens podcasts we've ever done, in part because Bill was someone who would come across on TV as pretty stiff and tight and, you know, very controlled.
00:05:18.960And because he and I are friends, he was relaxed and we were cutting up.
00:05:31.840We had a great free range, free ranging interview that, look, when a podcast is good, it sounds like a couple of guys sitting at a cafe having dinner and just shooting the breeze talking about what's going on.
00:05:45.840But even then, with someone I'd known 20 years, I don't even think I told him the topics we were going to discuss.
00:05:51.380We just sat down and now I wasn't playing gotcha games, but that's what we did.
00:05:57.720But let me make a second point about just how astonishingly rapidly the media can do 180 degree reversal.
00:06:08.980So on this podcast, we've talked a lot about Hunter Biden and the whole Hunter Biden investigations and the trials and for months and months and months and for years and years and years.
00:06:21.400The White House narrative and the corporate media narrative was Hunter is a poor, troubled son.
00:06:39.840Hunter, when he was making millions of dollars from every corrupt oligarch in every enemy of America across the planet, whether the Chinese communists or the Russians or what have you, that had nothing to do with favors from Papa Joe.
00:07:02.640I want to read you this paragraph from Axios on July 7th.
00:07:08.100Behind the curtain, unbendable Biden versus breaking point dams.
00:07:12.680Quote, we're now in uncharted historic waters.
00:07:17.420President Biden, backed by First Lady Jill Biden and his convicted son Hunter,
00:07:23.220Hunter, who's serving as de facto gatekeeper to his dad, says that nothing besides an act of God will persuade him to quit his reelection campaign.
00:07:34.880So without missing a beat, the corporate media can now suddenly admit Hunter is, quote, de facto gatekeeper to his dad.
00:07:45.560This is the same Hunter who about 12 minutes ago, their walking storyline was, no, no, no, Hunter's never met Joe Biden.
00:08:05.400Yeah, I give them a week and a half, two weeks, and then they'll start dialing back the full court press to get Biden out because they're then going to be afraid.
00:08:13.380Maybe we can't get rid of him by when we want to.
00:08:40.800I mean, we're weeks away from you and I going to the convention.
00:08:44.920We have no idea who the VP candidate is, and I'm not sure he does either.
00:08:49.460Look, it is not a crazy question to ask.
00:08:52.940The Trump campaign has said repeatedly that they'll announce the VP by the convention.
00:08:58.900And, you know, usually the VP gives a big speech at the convention the day before the president does.
00:09:07.040It is a tricky question because if you don't know who you're running against, that is certainly a real factor in trying to decide who the VP is.
00:09:14.860Because it would, I have not looked at the legal questions at how complicated it would be to name a VP after the convention.
00:09:22.360But it would not be insane for Trump to delay that choice until he has some real confidence who his opponent's going to be.
00:09:31.180Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.
00:09:38.120Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:09:45.100And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:11:38.220Quote, German officials, aware of Biden's fatigue at night, sought to accommodate the president by planning a June 2022 event with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the early evening.
00:11:52.000The informal event, a soiree at the Alpine Resort Schloss Elmau during the Group of Seven summit, was arranged as a confidential meeting on Ukraine in a relaxed setting.
00:12:03.660So, Biden didn't show, surprising the chancellor and his aides, officials said.
00:12:10.200Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden had to go to bed, according to two people who were there.
00:12:17.460So he is now no longer able to stay up to meet with heads of state to discuss matters of war and peace.
00:14:41.040But then at the very end, you get, I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message.
00:14:45.340So Hillary Clinton ran that ad in the year 2008, and she was running it against Barack Obama.
00:14:52.200She was saying Barack Obama was young and inexperienced, and she was much better able to answer the phone than he was.
00:14:58.920Now, regardless of who was right in that argument, today's Biden White House, it's not a 3 a.m. phone call.
00:15:06.480They're saying at 11 p.m., sorry, there is no commander-in-chief, but, you know, the deputy special assistant is here and ready to solve the problem.
00:15:15.060Well, it also says to world leaders, and it is terrifying to think about this,
00:15:18.640hey, here are the best hours to do something, whether it's attack in this country, whether you're terrorists,
00:15:25.520or whether it's to do something around the world, because this will be a long period of time
00:15:30.640before you get a awake president that would even respond or say anything.
00:15:37.120You know, it is, it's why I do not believe Biden is going to be the nominee,
00:15:44.040because the facts are piling up, and it's becoming indefensible.
00:15:49.380It may be Michelle Obama, it may be Kamala Harris, but I think the D's,
00:22:53.140And I mean, we would you know, I've been up in the White House residence with him and a couple other senators with people screaming at each other till 10, 1030 at night.
00:23:01.540That is dramatically different from the kabuki theater that Joe Biden was putting on.
00:23:07.880Now, to be clear, his entire cabinet was complicit.
00:23:11.340His entire White House staff was complicit.
00:23:13.680The Democrats in Congress were complicit.
00:25:46.600And look, the press is turning on him.
00:25:49.260And remember, like, 12 minutes ago where the corporate media would say it's a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory when you say that Obama's running things?
00:25:59.620We've said a number of times in this podcast that it's Obama who's pulling the strings.
00:26:04.000I want you to listen to Morning Joe talking about who's really behind everything right now.
00:26:12.340Before I play that, I want to tell you about our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:26:17.420Since the start of the Sword of Iron War in Israel on October the 7th, we have seen death and destruction in the Holy Land.
00:26:24.340And for more than 40 years, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground in Israel.
00:26:30.160And within hours of the war starting and every day since, they've been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable.
00:26:35.420The attacks continue in the north and the south in Israel.
00:26:38.400But there are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories in a series the Fellowship calls Faces of Iron.
00:26:46.500I want you to hear their stories because so many in the media have not been covering them.
00:26:52.840Survivors, for example, like Danny, whose beloved daughter and her husband were burned alive on October the 7th by Hamas terrorists, need to be heard by the world.
00:27:02.180Danny is a commander of the volunteer fire and rescue in his community.
00:27:05.400Despite fire equipment nearby, Danny could do nothing as his daughter's house burned and his daughter and her husband lost their lives.
00:27:13.540Christians like you support Israel through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:27:18.400It's this support that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong.
00:27:22.500I want you to hear more of their stories like the one I just mentioned.
00:27:25.960And I want you to show your support for Israel and stand with the people of Israel.
00:27:29.620All you have to do to hear these stories and spread them on social media is go to support ifcj.org.
00:27:44.900Hey, one thing that we do have to underline here, just so so viewers can can follow what's going on behind the scenes is is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.
00:28:06.900Yes, I mean, if you and I had said that a month ago, they would go crazy.
