Speaker 1

Welcome its verdict or Senator Ted Cruz ben Ferguson with your senator over under. I wish we would have made a bet here. I would have lost the bet. I would have said, there's no way the DJ the FBI would quasi raid the home of a sitting president. They did it. They found more classified documents. Apparently these documents that Joe Biden had as Delaware home date back to the time when he was the not just the vice president, but when he was a senator. How shocked are you

by this? It's stunning. Every day it keeps getting worse and worse and worse for Joe Biden at this point. It's a level of incompetence that is not just Look, we know that Joe Biden is mister Magoo, and for those of you who are younger than forty years old, mister McGoo was an old cartoon of a guy that was basically blind and addle headed. And Joe Biden is as addle headed as any president we've scene, but even addle headed. Good God, is there a place this man

didn't leave classified documents? He sticks it in his corvette, he sticks it in the room by his corvette, he sticks it in his home residence, he sticks it in the Penn Library. He sticks yet more in his home residence. I mean, this is really at this point it's Keystone Cops. And there are several major developments in the last couple of days. One, this latest search was done by the

FBI at the request of the Department of Justice. The FBI went to Biden's home, spent the entire day searching Biden's primary residence in Wilmington, Delaware, and they found six more batches of documents. It's not clear those six whether you're talking about six pages or six hundred pages, because they haven't specified, but six collections of documents that are marked classified within those Now we know that the FBI

spent the entire day searching us home. We know that at the same time that was happening, the White House Press Secretary was dodging questions. So that same weekend, Biden went to his beach house and Rehoboath's beach, and he was asked, well, why is he going to Rehoboth's beach. It's cold, it's not beach weather, And the White House

refused to answer those questions. And it turns out the reason is, well, the g men are rummaging through his house in Wilmington, so apparently he's got to go somewhere else. So the Biden White House was less than honest with the press corps, less than honest with the American people in explaining why he wasn't going to his residence. The answer was because the FBI is searching it right now. And then on top of that, you have the piece that we now know at least some of these documents

are from his Senate tenure. And I got to say that is really stunning, because look, good faith for everybody listening right now, we talked about the skiff, We talked about classified documents. You went into great detail about classified documents and how it works when you're in the Senate. Go back to that episode, listen to it because you went into great detail basically about how this works for every senator, what the rules are, And go back and

listen to that episode. And before we get to the shocking point of him actually having these documents, I want to remind everybody two things.

Now, Senator, you were mentioning that the classified documents, the fact that you had these from

back when he was a senator. This is not normal, and people need to understand keeping those documents for ten twenty thirty years. We don't know what point in his senate you know, career, these he had these documents. But that's not something that you're supposed to ever do. Yeah, and let me explain the day to day, which is, I've been in the Senate now ten years. I have read a lot of classified documents. I've been in a

lot of classified briefings. Every single classified document I've ever read for the entire ten years i've been in the Senate, I've done it all in the same place, which is there is what's called a skiff, a secure compartmentalized facility. It is underground. It is way way down in the basement of the Capitol. You go down, you go down, you go down, you go in. You go in these big steel doors. When you go in, it's actually kind of fun because as you're walking to it, the reporters

will follow you and they're asking a questions. They're asking you questions, and then you get when you get to the doors that are the entrance to it, all the reporters have to drop off because they're not allowed in there. You go through a long hallway. It feels kind of like Get Smart, if you remember the opening of Get Smart. You walk through it's one set of doors, that another

set of doors. You walk through a long hallway. The hallway has all these posters on the wall, and they're like World War two era posters of somebody leaked and people died, and their cartoon drawings of people dying because somebody leaked classified information. That's covering the walls. As you come in, they ask you for all your electronics. So you give them your cell phone, You give them your AirPods if you have them, You give them your fitbit,

you give anything that is electronic. You hand it to them and it stays outside the skiff. And so you go into the skiff, which is a there actually a whole series of there's a big hearing room in there. There are a couple of conference rooms. There's some smaller rooms that have secure telephones, so if you're having a conversation with the CIA or the FBI or someone that's dealing with classified information, you can do it the secure

call there. And then they're just reading rooms. Will you'll go in and whatever document you've requested, they'll have it there. They hand it to you, and you have to sign out for it, so you know, you get a particular secure document, you know, proof that Martians are are living right now in the Bill Clinton residence. I'm just saying that hypothetically that I'm not revealing anything, but they're really,

really pretty Martians. You sign out that document, you put your name on it, you put your date, you put the time. You go into the little room and you sit there and read. And sometimes you read for five minutes if it's a quick little document. Sometimes you'll read for hours. I've sat there and spent a long long time reading through long, detailed documents. When you're done with it,

you walk back up to the front counter. You give them back the document, and they sign it back in, They put the time back in, and so that every single time I have read a classified document in the United States Senate, that's how I've done it. What I have never done I've never read a classified document in my office. Why is that Because my office is not a secure space, it's not a skiff, and so it's not legal to read a classified document in my office.

I've never had a classified document in my car. Why because it's not a secure place and it's not legal. I've never had a classified document in my home in Houston. I've never had a classified document in my apartment in DC, again because it's not a secure space. All right, but hold on, have you ever had a classified document in your garage next to your car? And sadly, I've never had a vintage corvette. I'm clearly not living a full life.

It's so the fact that it is from his Senate tenure. Now, look, I suppose he might try some defense. So Biden was for a number of years the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. As chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, you read a fair number of classified documents. Well, you know what, I'm on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I read many of those same documents. You don't take him out of the skiff. I've been on the Judiciary Committee

for ten years. You don't take classified documents out of the skiff. I've been I was for six years on the Senate Armed Services Committee. You don't take classified documents out of the skiff. And so the fact that Biden had numerous classified documents from his Senate tenure at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, means presumably he took them out of the skiff. I don't know if they were in his office, I don't know where they were, but they

ended up in his private house unsecured. That's a big deal, and it's a fundamentally different situation than being in the executive branch because I'm not aware of any senator who does that, and certainly not any senator who does that legally without knowing that they are breaking the law. You don't take a classified document with you because you know

it is a criminal offense to do that. Well, let's talk about one other aspect of the senator that I think a lot of people are asking this question now. It's a theory that I pose to you. I think what two weeks ago now and I said, is this the Democrats offloading their useful idiot and Joe Biden? It's no longer useful because there's doesn't seem to be as many on TV now and Democrats out there that are really defending Joe Biden. Or is it just because this

is so indefensible? So I think some of both. I think this happened just as a mass just as incompetence on the Biden side, and they kept screwing up. They kept thinking they were done, and then they found another, and then they found another, and then they found another. Now, I do think there's some Democrats that are nervous that he's too old to be president, that they want him to jump from the ticket. I think he's going to jump from the ticket. I've said consistently he will not

end up running again in twenty four. But there are certainly some Democrats and some in the media who are being opportunistic and using this to try to push him out. But let me tell you right now, all right, let's break some news. Right now. Let me tell you what the next step in this scandal is going to be.

The next step in this scandal is going to be Okay, if Biden's Senate documents include classified documents outside of classified settings, which is illegal, how many more classified documents are illegally in his Senate papers. And here's where this matters in particular, which is the University of Delaware has more than one thousand, eight hundred and fifty boxes of records from Joe Biden's

Senate tenure, which he gave to the University of Delaware. Now, the University of Delaware, presumably does not have them in a skiff, It does not have them in a secure location. During the twenty twenty campaign, there was a concerted media effort to try to get access to those documents. In particular, there were allegations of sexual harassment raised against Joe Biden, and the media wanted to examine the documents on those

allegations of sexual harassment. The University of Delaware has said, nope, they're not releasing the documents to anybody until two years after Biden retires from public life. Ben I am right now calling for the Department of Justice for the FBI to examine all one thousand, eight hundred and fifty boxes of those Senate records to see how many additions and

classified documents are in those records. The answer should be none, but given Biden's pattern, we should have zero reason to have any confidence that there are not multiple classified documents within those one eight hundred and fifty boxes of Senate records. Let's talk about the pr aspect of this as well, Senator at the White House, because you have two options now.

You either have a White House Press secretary that's totally incompetent in her job and is sleeping in every day and then going out there and lying to the American people, or she's being hung out to drive by this administration, so therefore she looks like a complete moron. Now I say that with this caveat. There was a very interesting conversation on The Five on Fox News Channel. Yeah, and I want to play the beginning of this for people

because it kind of sets the stage. Listen carefully to this, and again, like we said a moment ago, please hit the share button. Share this podcast for your family and friends. Textitt toom of that will forward arrow. Make sure you hit the subscribe auto download button as well. Again, this is from The Five. Take a listen a contradiction city over Biden's docu drama. The Secret Service is ready to turn over who visited the president's Delaware home if requested

by Congress. But wait, the White House said those visitor logs didn't exist. M sounds like a good question to ask, cringe, Jean Pierre, But we all know that's a fool's Errand I really answered a question done really well. I didn't. Well, it's you, it's your opinion. I'm having a hard time understanding why. I just questions about We shall see your and I just said, and I just said to you, the White House Counsel's Office will be able to address

that question from this point on. Are you not waiting to be taking questions about the classified doctor? I have been very clear over and over again, We're going to be prudent. Again. That's for the department. Why it's not your decision to make of what I can or can't answer from here. Let's be clear so you can see why the White House reporters have had enough of Jean Pierre. According to a new report, members have grown exasperated and call her briefings a painful waste of time. I mean, sinner,

you hear that. And the point that they're making is is she just flat out lying? Is she being left in the dark or just part of a full blown cover up? You pick? Yeah, Well, look, one problem that Krane John Pierre has is that she started with very limited credibility. Even prior to this White House scandal. She demonstrated a proclivity to stand and lie at the White

House podium over and over and over again. When she stood up and said people aren't just walking across the border, it just doesn't happen that that wasn't kind of sort of painting outside the lines. It's just a wild, bald faced lie. When five point three million people have crossed illegally to say nobody's doing it is just it's a laugh line. Now, the reporters almost all agree with her ideologically. They're left wing Democrats, so they want her to look good.

They want Biden to look good. So when she stands there and lies to her more often than not, they take it. But when she's made a practice of lying to them over and over and over again, her credibility is very low. And then you get to this scandal. And now this scandal. Look, even though the reporters are partisans, they also they smell blood in the water. They're sharks, and they're frustrated because what she says now every day

is wrong. And either she has no idea what she's talking about, or she's actively part of the cover up because she keeps saying, Okay, the search is complete, next day, oh, never mind, and then now the search is complete. Up never mind? And you know now you know, why is Biden going to the beach house. Oh no reason, just just thought the beach would be pretty not that their g men raiding the President's house as we speak, and we just don't want to tell you because we're the

White House and we lie to the reporters. And the fact that the reporters are turning on her that's a big deal too. I mean, these are people who agree with her and like her, and yet their frustration it really it's a boiling point. It's really a boiling point right now. In the White House press room. It's usually just one or two people that are being tough, right it. Peter Doucy and and that's about it. Who really kind of give her a hard time. The rest just go

along with it. That's exactly right. And you know the five you were talking about. You know, Dana Prino obviously served as a White House press secretary, and I think she has a unique insight. Yeah, she meant, just how spectacularly bad this is and it's it's worth play with. Dana had to say about this. Yeahs has Grin ever reached out to you to say, hey, I need some help. You're really good at this? No, I should Look, she's

got a lot of friends and supporters. I'm sure she could call any of any member of their group, for example, like Jen sake. But what the judges said I think is very very correct. So Biden and Cline have allowed this woman to go out there one they either didn't tell her and when she I believe when she said she didn't know, she found out the same day that

the Press court did. So it looks like she was involved in a cover up if she did know, but she didn't know, so then they're like, oh, wait, so you don't know what you're talking about, so you don't have the confidence of the Chief of Staff. And they just sit there and let her twist in the wind every single day. And by the way, where's Kamala Harris

help a sister out? If I were Kamala Harris, I would go into chief of Staff's office and to Biden and say tomorrow somebody from the Justice Department is going to help her out, and they're going to walk through this time like or you were ruining her ability to have a command in that room. And when you have White House reporters start to talk to the press about how the unhappy they are, it's very hard to out

of that. You know those you know what a like a construction side it will say eighty days without a safety incident at the White House. They have zero days of providing inaccurate information. Partly it's her fault and that she has to make sure to protect herself. That's your number one job, because it's the only asset that you have.

But the President himself and Ron Clain, the cheapest staff, owe her something better than what they have provided because they are making her job so much harder than it needs to be. Yet Ron claim, by the way, I gotta get to the White House Presecretary Center and get your reaction because it broke also over the weekend that he's going to be leaving the White House. Now. Of course they put this out there like, oh, it's just time. He's been there for two years. This is normal cycle

here do you buy that? Or look, the house is on fire. And either Ron Klain got fired because he's supposed to prevent this from happening. And by the way, it's not just the existence of the class vide documents. If this past couple of weeks is not taught in PR and communication courses a decade from now, I'll be surprised, like the White House could not have handled this worse. And so maybe Ron Klaine was fired. We don't know. And one of the things we've learned from the Biden

White House they won't tell us. They're not going to be honest and fess up to it. Or alternatively, he sees everything on fire and says, hey, I'm out of here. I'm onto greener pastures. I want to cash out and make some cash. One way or the other, the guy who was ostensibly in charge is leaving. And I will note, look in any white house, a White House chief of

staff leaving is a big deal. In this White House, where Joe Biden is clearly not up to the job, and many people have hypothesized that it's been ron Klain running the White House, well then that's an even bigger deal. And I thought Dana Prino's insight was really powerful because you and I have been around the political world a long time, but neither one of us have served as White House Press secretary, and I think she quite rightly focused on how even Karine Jean Pierre, I do not

think is very good. I think she's demonstrated a proclivity towards dishonesty. But what Joe Biden and ron Klain and the rest of the White House staff are doing to her is fundamentally wrong. They are putting her out on a limb and then sawing the limb off, and they're putting in her position where even to hardcore left wing partisans, it's obvious that she's misleading them, either out of ignorance

or malice, neither one of which is good. Senator, Before we get into these documents that you just mentioned at the University of Delaware, I want to tell people about our friends at Augusta Precious Metals. If you have saved for a long time for retirement, then you may be extremely stressed out or frustrated over what's happened with your retirement account over the last year year. There are ways

that you can protect your retirement. You need to understand that you can protect your money with a gold ira. Now I'm excited to tell you about a company I trust and I use, Augusta Precious Metals. They're different because they even tell you if a gold ira isn't your answer. With Augusta Precious Metals, there's no pressure, just the facts.

Augusta of Precious Metals is all about protecting iras and four o one ks in this crazy economy, so important, especially for you right now if you're close to retirement, because there's no time to make up losses. So if you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more, you should take a look at their free guide and sign up for their incredible web conference. Is exactly what I did before I decided to put some of my money into

gold and silver. All you got to do is check them out and let them know that you're ready for that peace of mind. It is important that you're ready for retirement. So call August of Precious Metals one eight seven seven four gold IRA. That's one eight seven seven four the number four gold IRA. Or you can go online and visit them at Augusta Precious Metals dot com. Say I sent you and they'll even pay your fees

for up to ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals at eight seven seven four gold IRA or august is Precious Metals dot com. Now, Senator, I want to get back to these documents, and you look at the University of Delaware, you want to talk about them. I think really playing defense on behalf of the president. They've said, hey, we're not releasing these documents until two years after Biden leaves the presidency, whether that's in a four years or eight years.

This is broken at right, basically during while we've been recorded this that the DOJ is reportedly considering launching quote, additional searches for classified documents that quote more locations linked to President Joe Biden. CBS News has just reported that quote.

The potential for additional searches comes as the DOJ socoured through Biden's Wilmington residence Friday found six more items considering consisting of which classified markings, and according to Biden's personal attorney, Bob Bear, the content of the classified material quote is unknown now. His attorney for the president's personal attorney claimed that Biden offered quote to allow the FBI to conduct

the search led by the DOJ. It is unclear if bidens offered to permit the DOJ to conduct further searches its separate locations are now claiming are quote linked to the president. How many more areas are there to search that are linked to this guy? Look, I have no idea, but one of the most compelling, if not the most compelling, is the University of Delaware, which, as I says, has more than one thousand, eight hundred and fifty boxes from his time in the Senate. That's all in one location.

It's all straightforward to search. I believe d OJ needs to search that quickly, and I hope the news that you just read indicates they're going to do that. I don't know how many other locations. I don't know if you know, I don't know if there are are classified documents at Hunter Biden's residence. Of course we've talked about on this pod how for periods Hunter Biden has said his residence was Joe Biden's residence, so he's lived with

classified documents. I don't know if there are other places. And there were pictures of him in the corvette, driving the corvette with family members that were related to him to the beach, so obviously he had access to that card during the time when apparently these classified documents would

have been in that garage. So not only were these classified documents presumably in that garage, that was the same time Hunter Biden was negotiating a multimillion dollar deal with the communist government of China, so he was making millions from an entity that had an acute interest in getting access to classify documents. We need to know what the subject matter of these documents are. We need to know. This scandal takes on a qualitatively different different shape, different form,

different consequences depending on what the subject matter was. And we've heard leaks about how they concerned Iran, how they concerned China, how they concern Ukraine. We need to know the specifics. And I will say this, if there is even one classified document that concerns Barisma and Hunter and Biden, or concerns the communist China entities that were negotiating and paying millions to Hunter Biden, this centers the realm of

serious criminal activity. We don't know that to be the case, but that is is a major escalation and I think the public deserves to know. And let me say, by the way, you played a minute ago, Karen Jean Pierre's multiple dodges of I'm not answering that I'm not answering that asked DJ DOJ has publicly said, hey, nothing, our

end stops the White House from answering questions. So, for example, Karene Jean Pierre was asked, Joe Biden said it was irresponsible, that's the word he used for Donald Trump to have classified documents in one location at Marlago at his residence. Was it also irresponsible for Joe Biden to do that? And Karene Jehan Pierre refused to answer. She said, nope, you got to ask DJ, and DOJ said, hey, no, Bar and I are end to her answering those questions.

It's just politics. They didn't say this, this is me now. It's just covering the rear end of the president refusing to answer those questions because the answer is obvious, and

that's why they're trying to run away from it. Yeah, and for people to understand just now how many documents were up to to put in perspective on top of the trove that was on earthed Friday at his house that now is added to the additional twenty five classified documents found by Biden's quote personal moving attorneys in the past week at the Penn Biden Center and Biden's residence. We also and this goes back to the to the I think the disaster of this from the White House.

Biden again stated center on Thursday quote that he had no regrets about mishandling classified materials and claimed there were that claimed there was quote no there there the classified documents. He says they were initially earthed. We've done the unearthed. We've done this the right way. We were fully quote cooperating, looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you're gonna find that there's there's nothing there. I have no regrets,

he said it again. I'm following what the lawyers have told me they want to do. That's exactly what we're doing.

There's no there there. Fast forward. The liberal Washington Post is now reporting that the White House and the DOJ basically had an agreement to cover up and hide President Joe Biden's classified document scanal from the American people until it leaked to the press, despite their repeated claims of transparency, and the Washington Post center is who is reporting that the White House DOJ had an agreement to hide this from the American people. Yeah. Look that there's a simple

question that is obvious. Why is the Biden DOJ not leaked anything about this investigation? They didn't know leak it on November second, before the election, when the documents allegedly were first discovered. They didn't leak it in the days and weeks that followed. They haven't leaked the contents of the documents. They haven't spread the documents all over the floor and taken a picture and put it out on the internet. All of the things they've done to Donald Trump.

Their leaks, look, you would expect their leaks to come from the DNC. You would expect an explicitly partisan organization to put out stories that are harmful to the other party. It is amazing how the Biden de j leaks nothing on this, because I believe their objective is to protect him politically rather than enforce the law fairly and directly. As you know, It's why I wrote my last book,

Justice Corrupted. The last book I wrote goes into detail about how this Biden Justice Department is the most politicized, is the most partisan justice department this country's ever seen. And I think the disparate treatment between raiding Mara Lago in the bright league lights of day versus surreptitiously searching Biden's home and then keeping everything secret. I think the double standard is obvious to anyone watching it. Certainly is center.

One last question that deals with a different issue. I'm gonna throw you a quick curveball. There is a quietly released Energy Department report that now it means it was quote a mistake in canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, and actually shows the economic benefits of that pipeline. It just seems to have come out two and a half years too late. I love how this quietly gets released by the Energy Department. Welcome to the captain obvious Report of

the year. Well, look, that's true, But I'd actually be happy if any decision maker in the Biden administration learned a lesson from it. If they said, oh, we suddenly realize that hurting US energy production and boosting the production of our enemies like Russia, like a rand like Venezuela, is really bad for America. It's bad for the environment, it's bad for our national security, it's bad for jobs.

It's just a loser all around. If they actually learned that, I wouldn't care why they learned that, And to be honest, i'd celebrate the report. The problem with the report work. Nobody who has any authority cares what's in that report.

They are continuing, day after day after day to do everything they can to shut down, to stifle US energy production, to hurt jobs in America, to drive up the cost of gasoline for American families, and bizarrely to shift more and more production to our enemies like Iran and Russia and Venezuela. It makes no sense. And these ideologues, they don't listen to reason, They never do, They never do.

Center always a pleasure, don't forget. If you're listening right now, make sure you hit that subscriber auto download button so you get our podcasts each and every day. With this much breaking news, I would not be surprised if in the days, in the weeks ahead, we ended up doing unscheduled bonus episodes of this show. A right, Ben, let's take a raffle. Where are the next documents? What are they are when? Where? Where are they located? It's gotta be at my gut is where they are hanging out

right now? At there? I would guess at the beach. The beach is not a bad call. I mean, maybe he's cleaning house right now, no pun intended. Right, if you know they've nailed you at Delaware, why not go to the beach house and clean that place up, or sit around all weekend and go through documents. So you would certainly think if the FBI rated his Wilmington house, Rohoboth Beach would be next. So that's probably the odds are with you. I do not know if he owns

any other properties. I cannot imagine why the FBI would not at this point search every property he owns. And so we'll see what comes up, you know, the one I really wish they look at, and not because of any of the stuff from the laptop. I just got to thank the offices that were shared and the documents that could have been mingled between Jimmy Biden, James Biden,

the brother Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden. If they were this careless with classified documents, I think there's gotta be a decent chance when they were packing up their joint office as they could have cold mingled documents between Jimmy. I mean, certainly since the Senate years. If we're finding these documents back in the day when he was a senator, well we shall see. I feel confident these are, though not the last classified documents that Biden is going to say, ooh, sorry,

got him again. Yeah, it's my bad. All right, We'll see you guys back here on Wednesday, if not sooner, have a great couple of days center. It's a pleasure. And again make sure you have that subscribed down little button right. It's a five star review. We'll see you back here on Wednesday morning.
