Verdict with Ted Cruz - ＂Pop The Trunk Joe, The Special Prosecutor Needs To Search Your Corvette＂

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.600 Guaranteed human.

00:00:04.400 It is news that many did not see coming.

00:00:07.120 A special prosecutor, not for Donald Trump,

00:00:09.700 but for the President of the United States of America.

00:00:12.800 It's Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:15.000 Senator, nice to be with you in studio today.

00:00:16.980 You and I were just sitting outside watching this big announcement.

00:00:20.320 And before I play Garland and what he had to say,

00:00:23.660 on a scale of 1 to 10, how surprised are you that he came out

00:00:27.240 and said, there's a special prosecutor for a sitting president?

00:00:31.120 Yeah, I'm not surprised at all.

00:00:33.200 Garland had to do this.

00:00:34.420 He was backed into the corner.

00:00:36.460 The instant they found yet more documents,

00:00:39.420 first at the Penn Center, then in the garage,

00:00:42.560 you know, by the Corvette.

00:00:43.860 I don't know if they're like under the spare tire

00:00:45.440 or where exactly they were.

00:00:47.120 And then we discovered,

00:00:49.700 oops, we found a third bunch of documents

00:00:51.780 at the residence somewhere.

00:00:52.960 I don't know if it's, you know, in the cloak closet,

00:00:55.420 stuffed into his shoes.

00:00:56.480 It's not clear. 0.98

00:00:59.340 Garland is miserable doing this, 0.80

00:01:01.840 but he had no choice. 0.95

00:01:03.780 It was like watching a hostage video.

00:01:05.380 I mean, his face was, oh my gosh.

00:01:07.380 Yes.

00:01:07.700 I can't believe what I'm even having to read on national TV. 0.97

00:01:10.520 This announcement is a big damn deal. 0.78

00:01:15.140 This makes the Biden DOJ's efforts 0.96

00:01:17.860 to go after Donald J. Trump

00:01:19.660 a billion times harder

00:01:22.300 and a billion times more complicated. 1.00

00:01:24.480 They are going, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap. 0.99

00:01:28.980 Well, let's watch Merrick Garland and you can see the expression. 0.99

00:01:31.220 I want to play that.

00:01:31.900 And before we get to that,

00:02:21.900 Senator, as you mentioned a moment ago,

00:02:23.240 take a listen for everybody out there.

00:02:25.340 This is, I call it the Garland hostage video

00:02:28.280 when announcing a special prosecutor

00:02:31.360 to look into the sitting president of the United States of America.

00:02:34.540 Earlier today, I signed an order

00:02:37.520 appointing Robert Herr a special counsel

00:02:39.700 for the matter I've just described.

00:02:41.600 The document authorizes him to investigate

00:02:44.480 whether any person or entity

00:02:45.980 violated the law in connection with this matter.

00:02:49.200 The special counsel will not be subject

00:02:50.880 to the day-to-day supervision

00:02:52.220 of any official of the department,

00:02:54.280 but he must comply with the regulations,

00:02:56.780 procedures, and policies of the department.

00:03:00.380 Mr. Herr has a long and distinguished career

00:03:02.860 as a prosecutor.

00:03:04.600 In 2003, he joined the department's criminal division

00:03:07.360 where he worked on counterterrorism,

00:03:10.000 corporate fraud, and appellate matters.

00:03:12.240 From 2007 until 2014,

00:03:15.300 Mr. Herr served as an assistant U.S. attorney

00:03:17.380 for the District of Maryland,

00:03:18.900 where he prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime

00:03:21.780 to financial fraud.

00:03:23.740 In 2017, Mr. Herr rejoined the department

00:03:26.740 as the principal associate deputy attorney general.

00:03:29.660 In 2018, he was nominated and confirmed

00:03:33.520 to serve as a U.S. attorney

00:03:35.360 for the District of Maryland.

00:03:37.680 As U.S. attorney,

00:03:38.980 he supervised some of the department's

00:03:40.740 more important national security,

00:03:43.000 public corruption,

00:03:43.940 and other high-profile matters.

00:03:46.220 I will ensure that Mr. Herr receives

00:03:48.960 all the resources he needs

00:03:50.740 to conduct his work.

00:03:52.180 As I have said before,

00:03:55.760 I strongly believe that the normal processes

00:03:58.180 of this department

00:03:59.280 can handle all investigations with integrity.

00:04:03.200 But under the regulations,

00:04:04.960 the extraordinary circumstances here

00:04:06.960 require the appointment of a special counsel

00:04:09.040 for this matter.

00:04:10.620 This appointment underscores for the public

00:04:13.720 the department's commitment

00:04:14.920 to both independence and accountability

00:04:17.460 in particularly sensitive matters

00:04:19.920 and to making decisions indisputably guided

00:04:23.360 only by the facts and the law.

00:04:27.200 I am confident that Mr. Herr

00:04:29.480 will carry out his responsibility

00:04:31.660 in an even-handed and urgent manner

00:04:33.980 and in accordance with the highest traditions

00:04:37.000 of this department.

00:04:38.660 Thank you all.

00:04:39.920 Have you ever spoken to the president

00:04:41.100 about this investigation, sir?

00:04:43.220 No questions.

00:04:44.740 He walked out of there as fast as he could.

00:04:47.080 You see him say it this way.

00:04:48.960 You can tell he's like,

00:04:50.320 I've lost control.

00:04:51.720 I can't protect Joe Biden now.

00:04:53.840 And if you look at a special prosecutor,

00:04:56.140 they're going to dig

00:04:57.200 and people are going to ask you this question.

00:04:58.880 So I'm going to ask it.

00:05:00.040 Who is this special prosecutor?

00:05:01.840 What do we know about him?

00:05:02.980 Is he part of the swamp?

00:05:04.040 Or is he a guy that may actually

00:05:05.460 do the job the right way?

00:05:07.060 So let me say a couple of things.

00:05:08.540 For the folks who are watching this on YouTube,

00:05:10.920 and this is one of our video episodes,

00:05:12.460 you were able to watch that.

00:05:13.740 You were able to actually see Merrick Garland,

00:05:16.700 and see the absolute pain and agony.

00:05:19.080 For the folks who are listening to this in audio,

00:05:22.000 I can just convey to you that I'm pretty sure

00:05:24.440 the whole time Merrick Garland

00:05:25.820 was actually blinking SOS.

00:05:28.280 Yeah.

00:05:29.720 And just take my word for it,

00:05:31.900 that visual cue is there.

00:05:33.860 You know, it's striking.

00:05:34.840 At the end of that clip,

00:05:36.680 he's asked a question.

00:05:38.060 One question from a reporter.

00:05:39.360 Have you talked to Joe Biden about this?

00:05:42.780 And Merrick Garland turns, walks away.

00:05:47.640 We don't answer no stinking questions

00:05:49.860 at the Department of Justice.

00:05:51.400 No interest in accountability.

00:05:53.400 No interest in...

00:05:54.660 That's a pretty important question.

00:05:56.380 What conversation have you had with Joe Biden about this?

00:05:59.280 Unwilling to answer it.

00:06:01.140 Who is Robert Herr?

00:06:03.780 I don't know.

00:06:05.640 I suspect we're going to hear a lot of discussion about that

00:06:08.540 in the next several days coming forward,

00:06:11.020 the next several weeks coming forward.

00:06:12.640 I've met him.

00:06:13.520 I don't know him well.

00:06:15.380 He was a former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist,

00:06:18.560 as was I.

00:06:19.260 He clerked, I think, six years after I did.

00:06:21.700 So we didn't overlap.

00:06:23.000 But the world of clerks is a pretty small,

00:06:25.220 little incestuous world.

00:06:27.100 Before that, he clerked for Alex Kaczynski,

00:06:29.220 who was a judge on the Ninth Circuit,

00:06:31.620 was at the time one of the top conservative

00:06:34.420 appellate judges in the country.

00:06:38.320 Those are good signs.

00:06:40.540 Most people who clerked for Kaczynski and Rehnquist...

00:06:43.860 Not liberal.

00:06:45.040 ...are right of center.

00:06:46.000 Not 100%.

00:06:46.820 Yeah.

00:06:47.660 Rehnquist...

00:06:48.540 There are Rehnquist clerks who are left of center,

00:06:51.840 but most people, if you're Kaczynski, Rehnquist,

00:06:54.320 are right of center.

00:06:58.520 He's been a prosecutor much of his career,

00:07:00.800 a prosecutor or a lawyer in private practice.

00:07:02.920 I will say one huge red flag at the outset

00:07:06.820 is Robert Herr was Rod Rosenstein's right hand.

00:07:13.860 And for people that forget Rod Rosenstein

00:07:16.280 and how much of a figure he has been over the last several years,

00:07:19.780 explain that.

00:07:20.400 So let's walk through.

00:07:21.320 Who was Rod Rosenstein?

00:07:22.380 Rod Rosenstein was the deputy attorney general

00:07:24.780 under Donald Trump when Jeff Sessions became attorney general.

00:07:27.920 That appointment, and Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein,

00:07:31.980 that appointment was a tragic mistake

00:07:34.920 that visited enormous grief on the Trump White House

00:07:39.660 and the Trump presidency.

00:07:41.340 Rod Rosenstein had been the U.S. attorney

00:07:43.580 under Barack Obama for the state of Maryland.

00:07:46.660 He was the top prosecutor

00:07:48.400 for the Department of Justice in Maryland

00:07:51.600 in the Obama DOJ.

00:07:53.800 Look, Rod is not a left winger.

00:07:57.540 Right.

00:07:59.240 But he's a company man.

00:08:00.680 He's a DOJ company man.

00:08:03.880 And if you look at how

00:08:05.700 the Department of Justice operates,

00:08:07.640 all right, so number one,

00:08:08.700 like most places in Washington,

00:08:10.500 there's an alphabet soup.

00:08:11.660 So the AG is at the top.

00:08:15.420 The number two official

00:08:16.760 in the Department of Justice

00:08:18.160 is the deputy AG.

00:08:19.480 And in the acronym world,

00:08:20.540 that's called the DAG.

00:08:22.480 The DAG is essentially,

00:08:24.480 and everyone calls him the DAG.

00:08:26.020 The DAG is essentially

00:08:27.780 the chief operating officer

00:08:29.540 of the agency.

00:08:30.940 So the DAG runs DOJ.

00:08:32.880 Day-to-day runs it.

00:08:35.340 And the way the DAG does that

00:08:37.460 is the DAG has a series

00:08:39.260 of lawyers reporting to him.

00:08:41.660 Who are what are called ADAGs,

00:08:44.260 which are associate deputy

00:08:47.160 attorneys general.

00:08:49.180 I was an ADAG

00:08:50.660 in the George W. Bush

00:08:52.760 Department of Justice.

00:08:53.760 I was an associate

00:08:54.680 deputy attorney general.

00:08:56.240 And each of the ADAGs

00:08:57.420 is responsible for helping the DAG

00:09:00.200 run the Department of Justice.

00:09:03.600 Now, you have multiple ADAGs.

00:09:06.740 And then you have one,

00:09:07.780 this is where Washington 0.93

00:09:08.540 really does get ridiculous.

00:09:09.660 One, who is the principal associate 0.81

00:09:14.160 deputy attorney general,

00:09:17.040 who's known as the pay DAG.

00:09:19.460 You can't make this up,

00:09:20.760 by the way.

00:09:21.360 I'm not, I'm really, I'm not.

00:09:22.980 That's the amazing thing.

00:09:23.700 Only in Washington

00:09:24.740 could this actually make sense

00:09:25.920 to people.

00:09:26.480 So, when Rod Rosenstein

00:09:28.600 was the DAG,

00:09:29.900 he appointed as his pay DAG,

00:09:32.160 in other words,

00:09:32.800 as his principal guy,

00:09:35.560 his right hand,

00:09:36.760 Robert Herr.

00:09:38.940 Now, Rod Rosenstein

00:09:41.260 is the one you'll remember.

00:09:42.880 Jeff Sessions early on

00:09:44.340 recused himself

00:09:45.440 from the Russia investigation.

00:09:47.140 So, Rod Rosenstein

00:09:48.240 was responsible

00:09:49.040 for that absolute

00:09:50.800 cluster.

00:09:53.540 Yeah, of an investigation.

00:09:54.660 It was,

00:09:55.820 look, as listeners

00:09:56.460 of this pod know,

00:09:57.640 my last book,

00:09:59.140 Justice Corrupted,

00:10:00.080 by the way,

00:10:00.420 if you haven't bought

00:10:00.980 Justice Corrupted,

00:10:01.940 go buy Justice Corrupted.

00:10:03.040 There's an entire chapter

00:10:04.200 that will walk you through

00:10:05.620 what Rod Rosenstein did

00:10:07.200 with the Russia investigation,

00:10:09.340 with the corruption,

00:10:10.220 with the disaster.

00:10:11.400 Rod Rosenstein

00:10:12.160 is the one

00:10:12.740 who appointed

00:10:13.360 Robert Mueller.

00:10:14.660 You want to talk about

00:10:15.440 appointing special counsels,

00:10:16.760 Rod Rosenstein

00:10:17.420 is the one

00:10:17.860 who appointed Robert Mueller,

00:10:19.300 started the whole

00:10:20.500 Russia fiasco

00:10:21.940 to begin with,

00:10:23.740 and Robert Herr

00:10:24.620 was Rosenstein's

00:10:25.880 right hand.

00:10:26.420 Now,

00:10:26.960 about a year into it,

00:10:29.520 Herr got appointed

00:10:30.960 U.S. Attorney

00:10:32.000 for Maryland.

00:10:32.540 the job

00:10:34.360 Rosenstein had left,

00:10:35.480 and so he succeeded him

00:10:36.580 and took over

00:10:37.180 as U.S. Attorney.

00:10:38.500 What I don't know,

00:10:40.060 and this will come out

00:10:41.680 in the next few days,

00:10:43.040 is how involved

00:10:44.220 Herr was

00:10:45.180 in the whole

00:10:46.920 Russia disaster,

00:10:48.300 in the

00:10:48.980 Steele dossier,

00:10:51.300 in the

00:10:52.740 wiretaps

00:10:54.060 in surveilling

00:10:54.820 President Trump.

00:10:55.880 I don't know

00:10:56.800 his involvement

00:10:57.540 or not.

00:10:58.180 But we're going to

00:10:58.700 find that out.

00:10:59.080 We're going to find out,

00:11:00.020 and it's going to matter

00:11:00.720 a lot.

00:11:01.260 The fact that he was

00:11:02.100 Rosenstein's right hand

00:11:03.240 is not an encouraging sign.

00:11:06.040 Canadian women

00:11:06.860 are looking for more,

00:11:08.180 more out of themselves,

00:11:09.240 their businesses,

00:11:10.180 their elected leaders,

00:11:11.140 and the world around them.

00:11:12.320 And that's why

00:11:12.820 we're thrilled to introduce

00:11:13.980 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:11:16.020 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:11:24.240 politicians,

00:11:24.900 and newsmakers,

00:11:25.820 all at different stages

00:11:26.860 of their journey.

00:11:27.700 So,

00:11:28.360 if you're looking to connect,

00:11:29.840 then we hope you'll join us.

00:11:33.620 or wherever you listen

00:11:34.580 to your podcasts.

00:11:36.980 Let's talk about the documents.

00:11:38.520 There's two timelines

00:11:39.360 that I think are extremely important.

00:11:41.200 One,

00:11:41.880 the timeline of how many years

00:11:43.400 these documents

00:11:44.240 were not in a secure location.

00:11:46.840 If you look at the timeline

00:11:48.200 of when the Penn Center

00:11:49.620 was even created,

00:11:51.360 there are gaps of years

00:11:53.520 where these documents

00:11:54.500 had to be in other places.

00:11:56.160 I've talked to people

00:11:57.240 that have said

00:11:57.740 they think these documents

00:11:59.000 could have been separated,

00:12:00.440 some going to his house,

00:12:01.600 to his garage,

00:12:02.440 some going to the Penn Center.

00:12:03.700 They could have been

00:12:04.280 separated multiple times.

00:12:05.420 They could have been

00:12:05.840 also moved multiple times.

00:12:07.380 And I doubt

00:12:08.200 that it was attorneys

00:12:09.840 that were hired

00:12:10.580 every time to move

00:12:11.500 these documents

00:12:12.240 that he didn't know he had,

00:12:13.980 even though they claimed

00:12:14.700 even this last week,

00:12:15.560 which I think is still absurd.

00:12:16.960 Oh, my attorneys

00:12:17.840 were packing up my office.

00:12:19.620 Attorneys are not

00:12:20.360 traditionally moving companies,

00:12:21.860 but if they were,

00:12:23.040 how many other times

00:12:23.840 did they move these documents?

00:12:24.900 The second timeline is

00:12:26.320 how long did he have

00:12:27.940 these documents

00:12:28.360 from the beginning,

00:12:29.740 not just that,

00:12:31.320 but also,

00:12:32.460 when did everybody

00:12:33.380 know about this?

00:12:34.660 And it was before Election Day

00:12:36.580 and there wasn't

00:12:37.620 a single leak on this

00:12:39.060 before the midterms.

00:12:41.520 Yeah, so the timeline,

00:12:43.460 they've laid out

00:12:44.480 some of the timeline.

00:12:45.420 We'll find out

00:12:45.920 if that timeline

00:12:46.520 is real or not.

00:12:47.520 We don't know right now.

00:12:48.680 But what they are admitting,

00:12:50.020 they claim they first found

00:12:52.080 these documents

00:12:54.280 on November 2nd.

00:12:57.240 Now, November 2nd,

00:12:58.520 if you look at a calendar,

00:12:59.980 is before November 8th,

00:13:01.900 which was Election Day.

00:13:03.720 Now, do you think

00:13:05.100 it might have been a problem

00:13:06.200 if when they found them

00:13:08.060 on November 2nd,

00:13:08.980 they had admitted

00:13:09.600 they found them

00:13:10.180 on November 2nd?

00:13:11.180 Sure.

00:13:11.800 There's a reason

00:13:12.740 they didn't tell anyone

00:13:14.340 until after Election Day

00:13:16.240 because it let the press

00:13:18.560 just focus on

00:13:19.700 and attack Donald Trump.

00:13:20.800 Donald Trump,

00:13:21.440 this is terrible.

00:13:22.680 Look, Biden,

00:13:23.980 how could you be

00:13:24.760 so irresponsible?

00:13:25.860 He, you know,

00:13:27.020 everyone knows

00:13:28.060 you would never leave.

00:13:30.180 In fact,

00:13:30.840 we have one of those

00:13:31.660 Biden clips

00:13:32.320 to remind people.

00:13:33.580 Take a listen.

00:13:34.300 Look at this.

00:13:35.240 This is Biden grandstanding

00:13:36.480 and this is going to come back

00:13:37.400 to haunt him,

00:13:37.920 I think,

00:13:38.180 for probably the next two years

00:13:39.200 of his presidency

00:13:39.900 at bare minimum.

00:13:41.000 Take a look at this.

00:13:41.820 When you saw the photograph

00:13:43.840 of the top secret documents

00:13:46.400 laid out on the floor

00:13:47.420 at Mar-a-Lago,

00:13:48.700 what did you think

00:13:49.280 to yourself

00:13:49.820 looking at that image?

00:13:51.480 How that could possibly happen?

00:13:56.580 How anyone could be

00:13:57.780 that irresponsible?

00:13:59.700 And I thought,

00:14:00.380 what data was in there

00:14:01.760 that may compromise

00:14:02.760 sources and methods?

00:14:04.500 By that,

00:14:05.140 I mean names of people

00:14:06.620 who helped,

00:14:07.280 et cetera.

00:14:08.580 And it's just

00:14:09.540 totally irresponsible.

00:14:12.360 Now, you look at that.

00:14:14.080 Before I get your response,

00:14:16.080 okay,

00:14:16.920 let's look at the last question

00:14:19.040 he answered today

00:14:20.220 on this

00:14:21.260 where he was asked like, 1.00

00:14:22.500 how could you be so stupid, 1.00

00:14:24.360 Mr. President, 1.00

00:14:25.080 to have documents

00:14:26.260 literally in your garage?

00:14:27.740 Here it is.

00:14:29.260 Mr. President,

00:14:30.260 Mr. President,

00:14:30.980 thank you,

00:14:31.400 thank you,

00:14:31.800 Mr. President,

00:14:32.580 Mr. President,

00:14:33.020 classified material

00:14:35.540 next to your Corvette.

00:14:37.820 What were you thinking?

00:14:40.580 Let me,

00:14:41.460 I'm going to get a chance

00:14:42.640 to speak on all this,

00:14:43.700 God willing, soon.

00:14:44.620 But as I said earlier this week,

00:14:46.800 people,

00:14:47.120 and by the way,

00:14:47.620 my Corvette's in a locked garage.

00:14:49.640 Okay?

00:14:49.900 So it's not like

00:14:50.700 you're sitting out

00:14:51.200 in the street.

00:14:51.720 But anyway,

00:14:52.540 yes,

00:14:54.900 as well as my Corvette.

00:14:57.080 But as I said earlier this week,

00:14:59.000 people know

00:15:00.260 I take classified documents

00:15:02.240 and classified material seriously.

00:15:04.260 No, you don't.

00:15:06.640 They're in your garage, man.

00:15:08.600 Ben,

00:15:08.940 all I got to say is 1.00

00:15:09.860 karma's a bitch. 1.00

00:15:11.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:15:12.220 Like,

00:15:13.800 the Democrats

00:15:14.540 and the press

00:15:15.740 have been grandstanding,

00:15:17.460 have been ridiculing

00:15:18.580 Donald Trump,

00:15:19.360 have been going after him

00:15:20.740 like crazy.

00:15:22.640 At this point,

00:15:24.960 it appears

00:15:25.540 Biden just keeps

00:15:26.620 finding classified documents,

00:15:28.460 first in the Penn Center,

00:15:29.960 then in the garage,

00:15:33.680 next to the Corvette.

00:15:35.800 By the way,

00:15:36.620 they also said

00:15:37.200 not just in the garage,

00:15:38.220 they said

00:15:38.580 and in the room

00:15:39.800 adjoining the garage.

00:15:41.000 They haven't said

00:15:41.440 what room that is.

00:15:42.320 Now, look,

00:15:42.720 most houses I've been in,

00:15:43.780 what is the room

00:15:44.380 adjoining the garage?

00:15:45.640 A bathroom?

00:15:46.460 Yeah.

00:15:47.040 Maybe the washing machine room?

00:15:49.360 Or an outside storage room

00:15:50.800 with outside entry

00:15:51.660 that's not exactly secure?

00:15:53.440 Like,

00:15:54.080 I don't know what it is,

00:15:55.040 but I think they don't want

00:15:55.820 to say what it is

00:15:56.680 because, like,

00:15:57.260 the other room...

00:15:57.760 It's almost like

00:15:58.240 the basement bathroom server,

00:16:00.220 right?

00:16:00.460 For Hillary.

00:16:01.100 It is.

00:16:01.720 Maybe that's what's there.

00:16:02.660 Maybe he's got Hillary's servers. 0.95

00:16:04.060 I don't know.

00:16:05.100 There's some speculation.

00:16:06.260 Look,

00:16:07.200 and then

00:16:08.240 Merrick Garland said,

00:16:09.400 oh, yeah,

00:16:09.700 and they found something else.

00:16:11.120 Like,

00:16:11.360 they didn't say where.

00:16:12.540 I don't know if it's like,

00:16:13.400 you know,

00:16:13.600 under his pillow.

00:16:14.380 He sleeps snuggling it.

00:16:16.320 Now,

00:16:16.460 I gotta say,

00:16:17.580 it's a little bit weird.

00:16:20.540 And to be honest,

00:16:21.460 it's weird that Trump

00:16:22.280 has these documents, too.

00:16:23.720 I'm not now.

00:16:24.640 I will say,

00:16:26.000 past presidents,

00:16:27.080 all of them have had disputes

00:16:28.400 with the archives

00:16:29.140 over their papers.

00:16:30.140 Yes.

00:16:30.620 They want it for the

00:16:31.320 presidential library.

00:16:32.300 They want it for their story.

00:16:33.860 They want it for their time

00:16:35.000 in office to show

00:16:35.820 their accomplishments.

00:16:36.840 I get that.

00:16:37.700 But to be clear,

00:16:38.900 so people understand this,

00:16:39.900 the vice president

00:16:41.000 cannot declassify anything

00:16:43.360 while they're in office.

00:16:43.920 He has zero authority

00:16:44.980 to declassify anything.

00:16:46.760 And listen,

00:16:47.460 I have served in the Senate.

00:16:50.020 I've never served

00:16:50.800 as president or vice president,

00:16:52.640 although I tried damn hard,

00:16:53.860 but I haven't.

00:16:55.820 You know,

00:16:56.500 Joe Biden spent 40 years

00:16:58.040 in the Senate.

00:16:59.340 I can tell you in the Senate,

00:17:01.000 there is a 0.0% chance

00:17:03.900 that I have a classified document

00:17:05.380 anywhere

00:17:06.500 because I've never taken

00:17:08.480 a classified document

00:17:09.620 out of the skiff.

00:17:10.620 Like in the Senate,

00:17:11.580 the only place you handle

00:17:13.360 classified documents

00:17:14.480 is in the secure room

00:17:16.720 in the basement of the Senate.

00:17:17.980 And if people missed

00:17:18.700 our last podcast,

00:17:19.580 you talked about the skiff.

00:17:21.220 We talked about the rules

00:17:23.440 and the regulations

00:17:24.360 and the protections

00:17:25.340 of classified documents

00:17:26.760 so that things like this

00:17:28.220 literally don't happen.

00:17:30.100 Go back and listen to that

00:17:31.080 because you explained

00:17:31.840 how it works for senators,

00:17:33.160 how it works for people

00:17:33.940 that have top secret clearance,

00:17:35.320 how it works for people

00:17:36.120 that work in our government.

00:17:37.560 And having them in your garage

00:17:39.040 is never an appropriate location.

00:17:40.880 Well, look,

00:17:41.260 when I was at

00:17:41.940 the Department of Justice

00:17:43.020 as an associate deputy

00:17:45.240 attorney general,

00:17:45.920 I had a safe in my office,

00:17:47.820 a big safe

00:17:48.900 that when I had

00:17:49.500 classified documents there,

00:17:51.180 you would put in the safe

00:17:52.720 and you would lock the safe.

00:17:55.480 The executive branch,

00:17:57.380 you encounter

00:17:57.920 more classified documents.

00:18:00.500 So it's less surprising

00:18:03.640 with presidents.

00:18:04.760 It's interesting

00:18:05.500 that Biden,

00:18:06.980 as vice president,

00:18:08.020 seems to have

00:18:08.640 these classified documents

00:18:09.880 laying around everywhere.

00:18:11.640 One of the leaks

00:18:12.280 said that these documents

00:18:13.940 dealt with Ukraine.

00:18:15.860 Some of these did.

00:18:16.640 One of the leaks

00:18:17.300 said also Iran

00:18:18.060 and possibly China.

00:18:19.800 There's a lot of money

00:18:20.860 that came in

00:18:21.520 from anonymous donors

00:18:22.420 to the Biden-Penn Center.

00:18:23.920 Forty-plus million dollars

00:18:25.420 were being told.

00:18:26.000 Funded by communist China.

00:18:27.200 Right.

00:18:27.380 Oh, good.

00:18:27.820 You got the docs on China

00:18:29.220 in the place funded

00:18:31.180 by the Chinese.

00:18:31.980 That's a good idea.

00:18:32.840 Yeah.

00:18:33.100 And a place that,

00:18:34.360 let's be clear,

00:18:35.080 so people understand,

00:18:35.780 it was not considered

00:18:36.520 a secure location.

00:18:38.000 He also,

00:18:38.940 obviously,

00:18:39.380 went off script.

00:18:39.980 I'm sure his staff

00:18:40.540 is furious.

00:18:41.020 And he said,

00:18:41.920 well,

00:18:42.160 it's where my Corvette is

00:18:43.760 and it's locked

00:18:44.480 in my garage.

00:18:45.300 Like,

00:18:45.960 hey,

00:18:46.180 that's a Biden vault here.

00:18:47.560 Everybody calm down.

00:18:49.040 But when,

00:18:49.460 I mean,

00:18:49.780 this is not a secure location,

00:18:51.660 especially before

00:18:52.580 he became the president again.

00:18:53.640 Like,

00:18:54.100 there's still people

00:18:54.840 around his house

00:18:55.460 in Delaware now

00:18:56.060 because he's the president.

00:18:56.980 But in this time,

00:18:58.040 I was telling the two time frames,

00:19:00.220 there was years here

00:19:01.640 where he had

00:19:02.200 no Secret Service protection,

00:19:04.060 no protection at all.

00:19:05.400 Vice presidents

00:19:05.860 don't get protection afterwards.

00:19:07.600 Usually,

00:19:07.920 they're pretty much

00:19:08.600 on their own afterwards.

00:19:09.500 He was gone

00:19:10.720 from this residency

00:19:12.220 in Delaware,

00:19:12.980 which means

00:19:13.440 there was no one

00:19:14.440 watching these documents.

00:19:16.100 Well,

00:19:16.620 but it was by his Corvette.

00:19:17.660 That's true.

00:19:18.160 So that's safe.

00:19:18.880 And I do hope

00:19:19.960 we actually find out

00:19:20.940 where exactly

00:19:21.960 in the garage,

00:19:23.760 like just

00:19:24.120 in a pile of papers.

00:19:25.540 Well,

00:19:25.800 even as,

00:19:26.360 they showed a campaign ad

00:19:27.520 and now people

00:19:28.520 are zooming in

00:19:29.160 and there's a little

00:19:29.860 pile of documents,

00:19:30.900 you can see papers

00:19:31.760 in these bags

00:19:33.620 next to where his Corvette is

00:19:35.140 when he's pulling

00:19:35.720 the Corvette out

00:19:36.660 of his garage

00:19:37.380 and back in

00:19:38.160 for some campaign,

00:19:39.640 you know,

00:19:40.140 purpose he had back

00:19:40.920 in,

00:19:41.080 I think it said 2019.

00:19:42.540 So I also gotta say,

00:19:44.420 why are they in his garage

00:19:46.840 with his Corvette?

00:19:47.840 Look,

00:19:48.280 I've read lots

00:19:49.200 of classified documents.

00:19:50.200 I've never seen one

00:19:51.020 that I've said,

00:19:52.000 I want to take this home.

00:19:53.360 Now,

00:19:53.660 I'm not Sandy Berger.

00:19:54.520 I've never stuffed documents

00:19:55.420 down my pants.

00:19:56.280 So I don't understand

00:19:57.560 how Democrats deal with this.

00:19:59.020 But I don't know

00:20:00.200 why these documents

00:20:01.320 were so special to him

00:20:02.800 that he apparently

00:20:03.900 is hiding them

00:20:04.760 throughout his house.

00:20:05.560 Now,

00:20:06.100 listen,

00:20:06.400 let's set aside,

00:20:08.420 we'll see what

00:20:08.980 this special counsel does.

00:20:10.760 This is going to complicate

00:20:12.320 Joe Biden's life.

00:20:15.160 But the person who's...

00:20:15.900 How much is it gonna

00:20:16.360 complicate it?

00:20:17.120 I mean,

00:20:17.360 is this one of those

00:20:18.740 where your agenda

00:20:20.020 gets derailed

00:20:20.860 and this could get nasty

00:20:22.560 because it could connect you

00:20:24.740 as the big guy

00:20:25.580 and these documents?

00:20:26.680 Because if these documents

00:20:27.560 that he kept

00:20:28.260 dealt with financial issues

00:20:30.860 or things

00:20:31.780 or decisions

00:20:33.940 by our government

00:20:34.960 that could have

00:20:35.560 a positive impact

00:20:36.640 on his son's

00:20:37.380 financial dealings

00:20:38.280 in Ukraine,

00:20:39.660 Burisma,

00:20:40.800 China,

00:20:41.680 and other financial things,

00:20:43.160 some of these documents

00:20:44.340 could have dealt

00:20:45.040 with those issues.

00:20:46.320 And if they did,

00:20:48.340 the world of trouble

00:20:49.920 gets vastly larger.

00:20:52.040 Now,

00:20:52.220 look,

00:20:52.420 we have no evidence,

00:20:53.360 no indication right now

00:20:54.600 of what's in those documents

00:20:56.160 other than people

00:20:56.900 have leaked

00:20:57.280 that they concerned

00:20:58.200 Iran and the UK

00:20:59.980 and Ukraine.

00:21:00.920 if they concerned

00:21:02.560 Hunter Biden

00:21:03.600 and Burisma,

00:21:05.440 business deals

00:21:06.340 in Ukraine,

00:21:06.680 the whole world changes.

00:21:07.900 If they were documents

00:21:09.460 that are

00:21:10.580 relevant

00:21:13.240 to questions

00:21:14.440 of official corruption

00:21:15.620 by Joe Biden

00:21:16.460 and Hunter Biden,

00:21:17.400 that's a big deal,

00:21:18.600 but we have no indication

00:21:19.460 of that now.

00:21:20.280 So it's,

00:21:21.260 that would change

00:21:22.520 the situation

00:21:23.600 pretty dramatically.

00:21:25.420 Some of this

00:21:26.140 is gonna depend

00:21:26.740 on Robert Herr

00:21:27.320 and if he is

00:21:29.240 a straightforward

00:21:29.840 by the book

00:21:30.580 prosecutor

00:21:31.300 or if he is

00:21:33.500 part of

00:21:34.740 the deep state

00:21:35.940 that,

00:21:36.680 that manufactured

00:21:38.600 the Russia case

00:21:39.600 against Donald Trump

00:21:40.780 in the most corrupt

00:21:41.920 way imaginable.

00:21:43.060 If he goes in

00:21:44.300 and his approach

00:21:44.980 to this,

00:21:45.760 look,

00:21:46.360 the Biden Department

00:21:47.280 of Justice,

00:21:47.760 I talk about this

00:21:48.620 in the book

00:21:48.960 Justice Corrupted,

00:21:50.200 they appointed

00:21:50.900 a special counsel

00:21:52.280 to look at

00:21:52.800 Lois Lerner.

00:21:53.600 Yeah.

00:21:54.080 And that special counsel

00:21:55.200 was a big Democrat donor

00:21:56.420 who promptly said

00:21:57.680 nothing to see here,

00:21:58.540 all fine.

00:21:59.300 It is possible

00:22:00.380 that this appointment

00:22:02.320 is entirely about optics

00:22:04.280 and his job

00:22:05.360 is just,

00:22:06.540 you know,

00:22:07.000 say,

00:22:07.400 well,

00:22:07.780 he screwed up

00:22:08.480 but he didn't mean to

00:22:09.420 and everything's fine,

00:22:10.880 never mind.

00:22:12.180 That's possible.

00:22:13.680 It's also possible,

00:22:15.020 look,

00:22:15.160 anytime you have

00:22:15.660 a special counsel

00:22:16.420 that has the potential

00:22:17.540 to balloon

00:22:18.140 and get bigger

00:22:19.040 and bigger

00:22:19.960 and bigger.

00:22:21.460 Bill Clinton

00:22:22.060 learned that.

00:22:23.300 Donald Trump

00:22:23.940 learned that.

00:22:25.000 There's a long history

00:22:25.960 of special counsels

00:22:26.900 of their jurisdictions

00:22:27.700 growing.

00:22:30.160 And so,

00:22:31.140 if that happens,

00:22:32.220 that would be a big deal

00:22:33.400 but even if none

00:22:34.100 of that happens,

00:22:35.260 this has dramatically

00:22:37.580 complicated Merrick Garland's

00:22:39.360 life.

00:22:40.380 It's dramatically

00:22:41.160 complicated.

00:22:42.900 We've talked on this

00:22:43.960 podcast at length.

00:22:45.080 I believe

00:22:46.000 Merrick Garland

00:22:47.320 wants to criminally

00:22:48.320 charge Donald Trump.

00:22:50.160 Yeah,

00:22:50.340 does that take this

00:22:51.120 off the table

00:22:51.680 in essence now?

00:22:53.220 Well,

00:22:53.500 we talked before

00:22:54.460 about the reason

00:22:55.500 they leaked

00:22:56.100 that they were

00:22:56.560 going to prosecute

00:22:58.280 Hunter Biden.

00:22:58.960 Now,

00:22:59.200 remember,

00:22:59.700 what they've leaked

00:23:00.720 is they want

00:23:01.180 to prosecute

00:23:01.680 Hunter Biden

00:23:02.240 on his personal

00:23:03.440 crimes that only

00:23:04.260 implicate him

00:23:05.020 and don't implicate

00:23:05.980 his dad.

00:23:07.300 And you and I

00:23:08.160 have talked about

00:23:08.800 that I think

00:23:09.240 they want to do

00:23:09.840 that as political

00:23:11.440 cover to say,

00:23:12.380 see,

00:23:12.580 we prosecute

00:23:13.100 Hunter Biden,

00:23:13.560 we prosecute

00:23:14.000 Donald Trump,

00:23:14.660 aren't we even

00:23:15.180 handed?

00:23:15.460 this just

00:23:17.420 changed that

00:23:18.220 whole chessboard

00:23:18.960 because it

00:23:20.560 ain't complicated

00:23:21.500 that if both

00:23:23.300 Trump and Biden

00:23:24.140 have classified

00:23:25.040 docs and

00:23:25.880 suddenly the

00:23:26.500 Biden DOJ

00:23:27.320 says we're

00:23:27.820 prosecuting

00:23:28.460 Trump but

00:23:28.940 not Biden,

00:23:30.820 even the 0.98

00:23:31.740 lapdogs in 0.98

00:23:32.520 the corporate 0.90

00:23:32.920 media,

00:23:34.600 like that

00:23:35.260 question you

00:23:36.360 can't refrain

00:23:38.380 from asking.

00:23:39.260 And so

00:23:39.660 it's why

00:23:41.660 Merrick Garland

00:23:42.400 looks so 0.96

00:23:43.060 miserable because 0.96

00:23:43.740 he's looking

00:23:44.360 down the road

00:23:45.200 and his

00:23:45.620 plan of

00:23:46.560 what he

00:23:47.040 thought he

00:23:47.320 was going

00:23:47.540 to do

00:23:47.720 just got

00:23:48.160 screwed up. 0.57

00:23:48.940 And I 0.95

00:23:49.520 don't know

00:23:49.840 where this

00:23:50.180 goes.

00:23:50.600 I mean,

00:23:50.840 it really

00:23:51.500 is.

00:23:52.280 And by

00:23:52.620 the way,

00:23:52.980 at this

00:23:53.340 point,

00:23:53.740 it seems

00:23:54.480 every day

00:23:55.000 Biden keeps

00:23:55.640 finding more

00:23:56.340 classified

00:23:56.780 documents.

00:23:57.780 This may

00:23:58.140 not be

00:23:58.420 the end

00:23:58.680 of it.

00:23:59.000 It may

00:23:59.160 not be

00:23:59.560 the end.

00:24:00.160 It has

00:24:00.820 dribbled

00:24:01.280 out.

00:24:02.380 Now,

00:24:02.520 it's worth

00:24:02.920 underscoring

00:24:03.900 Joe Biden

00:24:05.560 and or his

00:24:06.480 team knew

00:24:08.080 about this

00:24:08.760 six days

00:24:09.560 before Election

00:24:10.480 Day.

00:24:10.980 They hid

00:24:11.900 it from

00:24:12.440 the American

00:24:13.100 people.

00:24:14.040 They

00:24:14.100 deliberately

00:24:14.880 hid it for

00:24:15.580 the American

00:24:16.040 people.

00:24:16.880 Now,

00:24:17.100 do I

00:24:17.460 know if

00:24:17.840 Joe Biden

00:24:18.320 knew personally?

00:24:19.080 No.

00:24:19.720 But they're

00:24:20.060 one of two

00:24:20.540 scenarios.

00:24:21.180 One,

00:24:21.580 he knew,

00:24:22.120 which is

00:24:22.360 probably the

00:24:23.060 case.

00:24:23.440 Sure.

00:24:24.000 Or two,

00:24:24.760 if he

00:24:25.120 didn't know,

00:24:25.840 the only

00:24:26.200 reason he

00:24:26.740 wouldn't know

00:24:27.260 is if his

00:24:27.860 team deliberately

00:24:28.980 didn't tell

00:24:29.680 him so he

00:24:30.520 could have

00:24:30.840 plausible

00:24:31.280 deniability

00:24:31.980 and say,

00:24:32.420 I didn't

00:24:32.620 know.

00:24:32.820 either

00:24:34.560 way,

00:24:35.860 that deception

00:24:37.880 to try to

00:24:39.060 influence the

00:24:39.880 election

00:24:40.340 is really 0.93

00:24:42.980 corrupt. 0.95

00:24:44.160 It's 0.90

00:24:44.780 corrupt on

00:24:45.240 a level

00:24:45.580 that he

00:24:46.420 will now

00:24:46.840 have to

00:24:47.200 be held

00:24:47.460 accountable

00:24:47.860 for if

00:24:49.080 this

00:24:49.340 prosecutor

00:24:49.700 goes

00:24:49.980 somewhere.

00:24:50.460 Let's

00:24:50.780 talk about

00:24:51.400 the job

00:24:52.000 of the

00:24:52.200 special

00:24:52.460 prosecutor

00:24:52.860 quickly.

00:24:53.520 And by

00:24:53.760 the way,

00:24:54.000 I will

00:24:54.220 say,

00:24:55.240 look,

00:24:55.560 we're

00:24:55.760 seeing

00:24:56.260 this week,

00:24:57.060 we're

00:24:57.900 seeing

00:24:58.300 suddenly

00:24:58.760 reporters

00:24:59.340 asking

00:24:59.800 real

00:25:00.200 questions

00:25:00.880 at the

00:25:01.740 White House

00:25:02.100 press

00:25:02.460 briefing.

00:25:03.000 We're

00:25:03.060 seeing

00:25:03.300 and not

00:25:03.940 just

00:25:04.240 reporters

00:25:04.700 from

00:25:04.940 Fox.

00:25:05.540 We're

00:25:05.660 seeing

00:25:06.180 CBS.

00:25:08.060 But like

00:25:08.500 suddenly

00:25:09.140 the

00:25:10.080 corporate

00:25:10.540 media,

00:25:11.440 it's

00:25:11.840 gotten

00:25:12.320 bad

00:25:13.200 enough

00:25:13.620 that

00:25:14.920 they're

00:25:15.180 being

00:25:15.440 forced

00:25:15.840 to do

00:25:16.140 their

00:25:16.320 jobs.

00:25:16.820 That's

00:25:17.140 an

00:25:17.240 important

00:25:17.560 development.

00:25:18.260 Or is

00:25:18.580 it

00:25:18.760 that the

00:25:19.300 useful 1.00

00:25:19.660 idiot 1.00

00:25:19.920 is 1.00

00:25:20.300 no

00:25:20.820 longer

00:25:21.100 useful

00:25:21.540 and

00:25:22.180 they're

00:25:22.680 saying

00:25:23.140 we

00:25:23.620 really

00:25:23.900 don't

00:25:24.200 want

00:25:24.400 him

00:25:24.560 to

00:25:24.700 run.

00:25:25.460 Democrats

00:25:26.100 clearly

00:25:26.640 were

00:25:27.580 kind

00:25:27.940 of

00:25:28.060 hoping

00:25:28.340 that

00:25:28.540 if

00:25:28.620 there

00:25:28.700 was

00:25:28.860 a

00:25:28.980 blood

00:25:29.140 bath

00:25:29.380 in

00:25:29.500 the

00:25:29.600 midterms

00:25:30.000 and the

00:25:30.220 Senate

00:25:30.380 was

00:25:30.580 lost

00:25:30.980 and the

00:25:31.180 House

00:25:31.380 was

00:25:31.540 lost

00:25:31.860 that

00:25:32.360 they

00:25:32.520 would

00:25:32.680 then

00:25:32.880 say

00:25:33.140 all right

00:25:33.520 we need

00:25:33.880 a new

00:25:34.100 leader

00:25:34.440 right

00:25:34.780 don't run

00:25:35.340 for

00:25:35.540 re-election

00:25:35.960 then it

00:25:36.680 was very

00:25:37.080 clear

00:25:37.400 they were

00:25:37.700 like

00:25:37.900 well

00:25:38.080 all right

00:25:38.240 we

00:25:38.360 got to

00:25:38.600 stick

00:25:38.820 with

00:25:38.940 him

00:25:39.040 now

00:25:39.280 because

00:25:39.540 they

00:25:39.700 still

00:25:39.920 have

00:25:40.080 the

00:25:40.240 Senate

00:25:40.460 this

00:25:41.520 could

00:25:41.760 be

00:25:41.880 their

00:25:42.040 moment

00:25:42.220 where

00:25:42.340 they

00:25:42.440 say

00:25:42.620 all right

00:25:42.800 let's

00:25:43.020 take

00:25:43.200 our

00:25:43.320 hand

00:25:43.540 off

00:25:43.780 of

00:25:43.900 him

00:25:44.080 and

00:25:44.220 this

00:25:44.480 may

00:25:44.700 be

00:25:44.800 our

00:25:44.940 way

00:25:45.060 to

00:25:45.180 get

00:25:45.320 rid

00:25:45.520 of

00:25:45.680 him

00:25:45.980 and

00:25:47.100 I

00:25:47.260 wonder

00:25:47.620 if

00:25:47.840 the

00:25:48.000 Democratic

00:25:48.360 party

00:25:48.680 is

00:25:48.820 now

00:25:48.940 kind

00:25:49.080 of

00:25:49.140 like

00:25:49.280 all right

00:25:49.600 we

00:25:49.760 got

00:25:49.980 through

00:25:50.140 the

00:25:50.300 midterms

00:25:50.780 we

00:25:51.180 don't

00:25:51.500 want

00:25:51.660 to

00:25:51.780 run

00:25:51.940 him

00:25:52.040 in

00:25:52.160 2024

00:25:52.680 we

00:25:53.840 desperately

00:25:54.280 want

00:25:54.560 a

00:25:54.680 new

00:25:54.820 face

00:25:55.380 we

00:25:55.760 got

00:25:55.920 rid

00:25:56.080 of

00:25:56.240 Pelosi

00:25:56.820 we

00:25:57.400 got

00:25:57.640 Hakeem

00:25:58.060 Jeffries

00:25:58.580 this

00:25:59.240 is

00:25:59.420 the

00:25:59.560 makeover

00:26:00.000 maybe

00:26:00.320 and the

00:26:00.680 easiest

00:26:00.960 way

00:26:01.160 to make

00:26:01.460 that

00:26:01.640 makeover

00:26:02.060 happen

00:26:02.480 so

00:26:03.180 maybe

00:26:03.680 I

00:26:05.040 will

00:26:05.340 say

00:26:05.820 if

00:26:06.160 you're

00:26:06.500 a

00:26:06.660 hardcore

00:26:07.020 partisan

00:26:07.620 Democrat

00:26:08.060 this

00:26:09.800 has

00:26:10.040 been

00:26:10.200 a

00:26:10.380 really

00:26:10.900 bad

00:26:11.280 week

00:26:11.600 yeah

00:26:12.000 and

00:26:14.480 if

00:26:14.700 you're

00:26:14.880 a

00:26:15.000 hardcore

00:26:15.300 partisan

00:26:15.820 Democrat

00:26:16.320 who

00:26:16.720 is

00:26:16.920 also

00:26:17.240 a

00:26:17.420 corporate

00:26:17.640 media

00:26:17.940 journalist

00:26:18.340 which

00:26:18.580 they

00:26:18.700 pretty

00:26:18.880 much

00:26:19.100 all

00:26:19.440 are

00:26:19.720 you

00:26:21.060 can

00:26:21.220 go

00:26:21.360 after

00:26:21.680 Biden

00:26:22.680 it's

00:26:23.380 time

00:26:23.620 to

00:26:23.760 ride

00:26:23.940 off

00:26:24.120 into

00:26:24.280 the

00:26:24.440 sunset

00:26:24.740 we

00:26:25.040 want

00:26:25.440 the

00:26:25.800 next

00:26:26.340 generation

00:26:27.100 Democrats

00:26:27.500 to

00:26:27.720 run

00:26:28.040 but

00:26:28.780 that's

00:26:29.040 a

00:26:29.160 dangerous

00:26:29.500 game

00:26:29.960 look

00:26:30.700 if

00:26:30.900 your

00:26:31.800 president

00:26:32.360 resigns

00:26:33.120 in

00:26:34.160 run

00:26:34.400 in

00:26:34.540 disgrace

00:26:36.040 tarred

00:26:36.380 by

00:26:36.560 scandal

00:26:37.100 because

00:26:37.400 they're

00:26:37.640 facing

00:26:37.920 criminal

00:26:38.280 prosecution

00:26:38.960 that ain't

00:26:40.620 good

00:26:41.000 yeah

00:26:41.380 it

00:26:42.100 doesn't

00:26:42.600 set

00:26:43.600 with

00:26:43.760 the

00:27:39.180 level

00:27:39.440 of

00:27:42.160 to

00:27:42.260 a

00:27:42.380 safety

00:27:42.560 problem

00:27:42.960 can

00:27:43.880 you

00:27:44.020 promise

00:27:44.400 that

00:27:44.700 I

00:27:44.820 don't

00:27:45.040 think

00:27:45.320 so

00:27:45.660 like

00:27:45.960 we

00:27:46.080 won't

00:27:46.260 ever

00:27:46.440 let

00:27:46.660 this

00:27:46.820 happen

00:27:47.060 again

00:27:47.220 but

00:27:47.340 we

00:27:47.460 don't

00:27:47.600 know

00:27:47.720 what

00:27:47.820 happened

00:27:48.120 and

00:27:48.460 some

00:27:48.620 good

00:27:48.760 data

00:27:49.020 points

00:27:49.380 it's

00:27:49.920 almost

00:27:50.140 like

00:27:50.480 being

00:27:50.760 a

00:27:50.940 small

00:27:51.180 town

00:27:51.460 mayor

00:27:51.800 is

00:27:52.060 not

00:27:52.240 really

00:27:52.460 qualifications

00:27:53.140 to run

00:27:53.780 a

00:27:53.900 major

00:27:54.140 cabinet

00:27:54.480 agency

00:27:54.960 when

00:27:55.180 you

00:27:55.280 know

00:27:55.420 nothing

00:27:55.760 about

00:27:56.020 the

00:27:56.160 industry

00:27:56.400 look

00:27:56.760 you

00:27:57.200 look

00:27:57.500 at

00:27:57.760 Buttigieg's

00:27:58.700 tenure

00:27:59.020 his

00:27:59.940 first

00:28:00.220 year

00:28:00.480 in

00:28:00.640 office

00:28:00.980 we

00:28:01.240 had

00:28:01.400 a

00:28:01.520 major

00:28:01.960 supply

00:28:02.540 chain

00:28:02.880 crisis

00:28:03.340 which

00:28:03.720 most

00:28:04.120 people

00:28:04.440 hadn't

00:28:04.700 even

00:28:04.840 focused

00:28:05.240 on

00:28:05.480 what

00:28:05.660 the 0.99

00:28:05.780 heck

00:28:05.920 a

00:28:06.040 supply

00:28:06.360 chain

00:28:06.720 was

00:28:07.440 until

00:28:08.240 the

00:28:08.460 Biden

00:28:08.700 administration 0.98

00:28:09.320 screwed 0.96

00:28:09.680 it

00:28:09.780 up

00:28:09.900 in

00:28:10.280 the

00:28:10.440 middle

00:28:10.640 of

00:28:10.820 the

00:28:10.960 biggest

00:28:11.260 crisis

00:28:11.800 the

00:28:12.100 transportation

00:28:12.640 department

00:28:13.200 has

00:28:13.360 ever

00:28:13.520 seen

00:28:13.980 Pete

00:28:15.560 Buttigieg

00:28:15.940 was

00:28:16.240 on

00:28:16.420 paternity 0.93

00:28:16.820 leave

00:28:17.120 and

00:28:17.240 he

00:28:17.320 wasn't

00:28:17.540 at

00:28:17.660 the

00:28:17.760 office

00:28:18.100 then

00:28:19.540 we

00:28:19.980 saw

00:28:20.300 just

00:28:20.560 a

00:28:20.700 couple

00:28:20.880 of

00:28:21.040 months

00:28:21.260 ago

00:28:21.560 we

00:28:21.800 were

00:28:21.960 on

00:28:22.100 the

00:28:24.700 major

00:28:25.100 rail

00:28:25.480 strike

00:28:25.940 again

00:28:27.060 because

00:28:27.620 the

00:28:28.280 Biden

00:28:28.520 administration

00:28:29.120 had 0.71

00:28:29.420 screwed

00:28:29.820 it

00:28:29.980 up

00:28:30.200 and

00:28:30.740 now

00:28:31.300 oops

00:28:32.380 the

00:28:34.200 FAA

00:28:36.660 safely

00:28:37.160 and

00:28:37.640 by

00:28:37.860 the

00:28:38.020 way

00:28:38.340 the

00:28:39.440 two

00:28:39.760 years

00:28:40.080 in

00:28:40.380 does

00:28:40.880 not

00:28:41.240 have

00:28:41.940 an

00:28:42.420 FAA

00:28:42.800 administrator

00:28:43.560 in

00:29:43.040 up

00:29:43.220 I

00:29:43.360 want

00:29:43.520 to do

00:29:43.760 something

00:29:44.060 just

00:29:44.320 interesting

00:29:44.740 as I

00:29:45.120 was

00:29:45.300 on

00:29:45.460 my

00:29:45.660 phone

00:29:45.980 and I

00:29:46.220 was

00:29:50.900 for this

00:29:51.260 show

00:29:51.500 I

00:29:52.580 stumbled

00:29:53.160 across

00:29:53.700 an

00:29:53.920 article

00:29:54.340 in

00:29:54.720 Britannica

00:29:55.560 that I

00:29:55.840 just

00:29:56.000 thought

00:29:56.180 was

00:29:56.320 interesting

00:29:56.740 which

00:29:57.780 is

00:29:57.940 the

00:29:58.120 secret

00:29:58.460 service

00:29:59.120 codenames

00:30:01.220 didn't

00:30:01.600 know

00:30:01.800 this

00:30:02.420 so

00:30:03.560 starting

00:30:04.620 JFK

00:30:05.220 JFK's 0.56

00:31:15.580 this

00:31:16.460 one

00:31:16.660 is

00:31:16.940 probably

00:31:17.400 I

00:31:17.640 would

00:31:17.760 assume

00:31:18.040 bad

00:31:18.540 but

00:31:19.180 maybe

00:31:19.540 they

00:31:19.800 gave

00:31:20.020 him

00:31:20.120 something

00:31:20.380 decent

00:31:20.660 at the

00:31:20.880 beginning

00:31:21.140 of

00:31:21.280 his

00:31:21.380 administration

00:31:24.100 totally

00:31:24.660 accurate

00:31:25.160 and

00:31:25.980 Joe

00:31:26.180 Biden

00:31:26.520 document

00:31:27.720 Celtic

00:31:30.680 they

00:31:31.360 should

00:31:31.580 have

00:31:31.680 at least

00:31:31.940 gone

00:31:32.120 with

00:31:32.260 Corvette

00:31:32.720 actually

00:31:33.240 don't

00:31:33.460 know

00:31:33.600 if

00:31:33.720 it's

00:31:33.900 Celtic

00:31:34.300 or

00:31:34.440 Celtic

00:31:34.960 but

00:31:35.480 it's

00:31:35.740 spelled

00:31:36.100 Celtic

00:31:36.760 one

00:31:37.020 of

00:31:37.120 the

00:31:37.220 two

00:31:38.780 a

00:31:38.880 Boston

00:31:39.180 fan

00:31:39.460 in

00:31:41.860 on

00:31:42.000 the

00:31:42.120 Irish
