Welcome.
It is Verdict with Sentater, Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson with You Center. There is big news from Capitol Hill today that you get to break.
Well, that's exactly right.
First of all, the news that is consuming the globe, which is Joe Biden, continues in free fall. It keeps getting worse and worse and worse. There's the disastrous Big Boy press conference. But beyond that, there is the cabinet now leaking on him that they haven't had a cabinet meeting in eight months, that the cabinet meetings they did have were prescripted where they're walking through kabuki theater. There's also the leak coming out of the Biden campaign itself
that they've begun polling Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump. And we're going to talk about what it means that the internal team, the cabinet, in the campaign is turning on Joe Biden as this free fall continues. We're going to get into that in depth. But before we do it, we're going to cover a story that nobody else is covering because it is an important story, which is yesterday on Capitol Hill, there was a big, big victory on
Capitol Hill. Y'all recall we had a prior podcast where we discussed this radical left wing judge that Joe Biden nominated. Sarah Netburn, a magistrate judge in New York who is an extreme leftist. She was handpicked by Chuck Schumer, and among other things, she has this stunning decision where there was this six foot two guy who was a serial rapist, a child rapist, who decided at age fifty two that he was a woman, and this judge ordered that he go to a woman's prison and be housed with women.
And she disregarded the rights of those women, She disregarded common sense, she disregarded sanity. Well, I cross examined her a number of weeks ago, and Thursday morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee had the markup when we were voting on it, and I spoke again the nomination, and we had a stunning victory.
We're going to get into that in just a moment.
Yeah, it's incredible. This June marked two years since the overturn of Roe v.
Wade.
But did you know that the number of abortions actually increased the following year In twenty twenty three, the amount of abortions reached its highest level since twenty twelve, with the abortion pill accounting for up to sixty three percent of all abortions. It's tragically no surprise well Preborn is continuing to stand strong for women in crisis and at
risk babies. Preborn is a ministry of compassion the showers women and babies with God's love, providing free ultrasounds to mothers with unplanned pregnancies to introduce them to the precious life that they are growing. When a mother meets her baby on ultrasound and here's their heartbeat, she is twice as likely to then choose life. Twenty eight dollars sponsor one ultrasound, and one hundred and forty dollars helps to
rescue five babies. Your generous, taxedectable donation will also help to provide women who choose life with assistance for up to two years. So please give give your best gift. To donate, it's easy. Just dial pound two fifty, say the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty say the keyword baby, or visit preborn dot com slash verdict that's preborn dot com slash verdict, or dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby center. This was a story is that you you mentioned a moment ago, but it is not
going to be covered by the media. And it's a very very significant victory to stop this radical judge. How did you get any Democrat to come along and to look at this woman's record and realize this is not someone we should have on the court.
Well, I'm going to explain this, but I got to tell you the victory was a surprise. The Democrats were not expecting it. The chairman of the committee, Dick Durbin, was not expecting for the good guys, for common sense, for reality to prevail. They were assuming they'd get a straight party line vote. That's not what happened. But before I walked through what happened, I want you to hear
my remarks at the markup. And this is a little bit lengthy, but this is what I said at the markup, and then I'm going to tell you the results and how it.
Produced a stunning victory. Have a listen.
Thank you, missus. Chairman.
I have deep concerns about Judge Sarah Netburn's nomination, and specifically about her radical rulings that endanger women by placing biological men in women's prisons, and given the avalanche of letters this committee has received from women's groups and female inmates, I'm not.
The only person with co.
In the case of JJS versus ws Plyler, the prisoner dubbed July Justine Shelby his real name is William mclin was a serial rapist.
There's no other way to say it.
He was also a six foot two, fully intact biological man. His past criminal offenses included child molestation of a nine year old boy, rape of a seventeen year old girl, and criminal deviot conduct. No factual details are in the record, but the state defined the offense as quote compelling with force or the threat of force sexual conduct. As a result of these offenses, Shelby was incarcerated for eighteen years.
One year after being released on parole, Shelby broke parole by circulating violent child pornography and so back in prison and at fifty one years of age, Shelby decided that he was a woman, and as a self declared woman, he demanded to be jailed with biological women, and failing to lock him up with other women, he argued, was a violation of the Eighth Amendment. Now. Luckily for Shelby, his lawsuit ended up in front of Judge Netburn, putting
political ideology over justice and reality. Magistrate Judge Netburn recommended that Shelby quote be transferred immediately to a woman's facility, despite a lifelong pattern of rape, sexual assault, and obvious sexually predatory instincts. Magistrate Judge Netburn's opinion declared that quote there are no signs that petitioner is at risk of reoffending.
That defies words.
Magistrate Judge Netburn doubled down on her comment to a radical political ideology in her opinion, casting aside any concerns for the female prisoners.
Judge Netburn wrote.
The BOP also posits that permitting petitioner to live among women will be traumatizing and possibly dangerous to them. This concern is overblown. Those are her words. Netbird's opinion went on quote the BOP's repeated refusal to transfer petitioner to a woman's facility to further her gender transition, despite knowing the condition of petitioners physical and mental health violates the
petitioner's Eighth Amendment rights. This judge is ruling the Constitution requires that biological men who wake up one day and say I'm a woman have to be housed with female prisoners. This judge also ruled, in effect that female prisoners have
no rights. The Democrats on this committee like to say they support the rights of women, but we're about to find out whether they do or not, because in this case, you're taking a six foot two man who is a serial rapist, and this judge sent that man to Fort Worth, Texas. I asked that judge, do the women in that prison have any right if it was your mother, if it was your daughter, if it was your wife, how would you feel if your daughter was Howe's with a six
foot two man who's a serial rapist. Because political, by ideology matters more than sanity. And by the way, the threat that this ideologue said is overblown is happening all over the country. For example, in Judge Netburn's home state of New York, in twenty twenty four, a former prisoner at Rikers Island claimed that she was groped and raped
by a male inmate posing as a transgender woman. There'd also been a prior rape attempt at Rikers in twenty twenty one by another transgender inmate against a biological female inmate. In New Jersey, in twenty twenty two, a transgender inmate impregnated not one, but two female inmates.
In California, a.
Woman's group sued the Department of Corrections after transgender prisoner raped two women, impregnating one of them. And in the Chairman's home state of Illinois, a female inmate sue the Department of Corrections after she was raped by a transgender inmate. This is happening over and over and over again, and it's because of ideology being put ahead of common sense. At her hearing, I asked Judge Netburn, do you regret your decision transferring a serial rapist, a biological man, to
a woman's prison. Her answer was, quote no, I faithfully applied the law to the facts. That is not the law, and these are not the facts. As I mentioned at the outset, this committee has received letters from female prisoners horrified at the prospect of being housed with a biological male, fearing quite reasonably for their safety. Interestingly, the Chairman has not read to you the letters those female inmates have sent to this committee, pleading on this committee to use
some common sense. I'm going to read a couple for you. Alissa Kay, a current inmate. Here's what she wrote to us. Quote, people are already getting raped and nobody cares. Honestly, someone in here is going to end up getting killed. Having men here in prison with us disrupts any sense of rehabilitation. We fear for our safety. We have further loss of privacy as we are forced to share intimate spaces with
a man. We watch some as some prisons are victims of abuse, and others willingly engage in sexual acts in our shared space. This isn't right, This isn't fair. Do any of our Democratic members care about Alissa Kay's concerns? How about Amy I, a former inmate. Here's what she wrote to us to say, quote, I urge the committee to watch my story, the story of other female prisoners and a brave resigned lieutenant who spoke out against this
anti woman policy. Women, including incarcerated women. Just because a woman is in a prison doesn't mean she loses her rights. That's me talking, not the letter. I'll get back to the letter. Women, including incarcerated women, shouldn't be erased as a matter of law to accommodate the interest of men. One person's rights cannot come at the costs of another's.
Here's another letter, Evelyn V. A former inmate. She wrote to us and said, quote, as a former inmate in the California State prison system, I share your concern about how women's rights are being pushed aside compared to the interest of men who are self identifying at women and getting entry to.
Facilities meant for women.
Now, at the hearing, Judge Netburn told us again she thinks concerns of the risk of Shelby engaging in sexual reoffense are quote overblown. I strongly disagree it. As it happens, we now have facts just yesterday yesterday exquisite timing, by the way, on this markup. Yesterday, the Washington Freebacon reported that Shelby, who is housed at FMC Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, was placed in administrative segregation for exposing himself to female prisoners,
apparently joking that he was fully intact. Congratulations, Judge Netburn. That's what you're doing to the women in this prison. You're subjecting them to victimization and assault. If a guy on the subway did this, whipping out his genitalia to you on the subway, you deck the guy and arrest him for indecent exposure, but this radical says he's got a constitutional right to be there and do this. I have to say this is an issue. Everyone on this
committee knows this isn't right every one of us. Every one of us would be horrified if a loved one found out she was the cellmate of a six foot two man who was a serial rapist. But in today's topsy turvy political world, the way you get nominated to be a judge is you demonstrate you're a radical. I know people must be saying, well, gosh, New York has twenty million people, they couldn't find one person qualified to be a judge to give a lifetime appointment to.
And that's the point.
What they're looking for is show us you're a radical. This is an opportunity for every senator to demonstrate whether you'll stand up for the rights of women or not. I sadly expect a party line vote on this, but I will say this, if we have a party line vote, mister.
Chairman, I'm going to make a request.
I'm going to request, mister Chairman, that you ask Majority Leader Schumer to expedite a floor vote on this judge.
On the floor.
I want to see Senator Tester vote on whether a six foot two man should go to a women's prison. I want to see Senator Brown, I want to see every Democrat go on record, do you give a damn about the women in your state or not. It's a simple choice, and it's a choice that will be defined by the word yes of the word no.
Senator, you gave that speech hoping that there would be people that would obviously hear it and would then say, Okay, maybe he's right.
That's apparently what happened.
It is and it was remarkable.
Look, I assumed what would happen is what has happened over and over and over again in the Senate Judiciary Committee, that everyone would just rubber stamp the nomination voted out, and that really I was speaking to the American people, and ultimately to all one hundred Senators trying to defeat
this judge on the floor of the Senate. But after I spoke, Mike Lee spoke, and Lindsey Graham spoke, they both were very effective laying out this judge's record like I did, and then they began the role call vote and the way the role call vote works is the clerk of the committee begins reading out each of the senators, and it starts with the senior senator in the majority who's not the chairman, and it goes down in seniority, so the clerk goes Senator Whitehouse. Senator white House is
Sheldon white House, Democrat from Rhode Island. Senator white House I. Next, Senator Klobachar Amy Klobachar, Democrat from Minnesota. Senator Klobachar I. Next Chris Coon's Democrat from Delaware. Senator Coons I. Next Richard Blumenthal, Democrat from Connecticut. Senator Bloomenthal I. Next Mazie Herono, Democrat from Hawaii. Senator Herono I. Next is Corey Booker, Democrat from New Jersey. Senator Booker I. Next is Alex Padia,
Democrat from California. Senator Padilla I. Next is John Ossoff, Democrat from Georgia. Senator Ossoff.
No.
Wow, you could have heard a pin drop when he said that the last two members of the Democrats going down the die where Peter Welch, Democrat from Virginia he votes I and Lafonza Butler, Democrat from California. She votes IE, and then Dick Durbin, the chairman at the end, votes I. But John Ossoff, Democrat from Georgia, voted no, and all the Republicans voted now, and as a result, this judge
was defeated eleven to ten. Now, I'll tell you, I am convinced that Dick Durbin, the chairman, had no idea assof was going to vote no. And I think he was genuinely shocked when OSAF said no. They thought they were going to have a party line vote and move her on. And I think Osoff thought about it and said, Okay, I got a run for reelection in the state of Georgia, and if I vote for a judge that sends a six foot two serial rapist to a woman's prison, I ain't get reelected.
And do you guys talk before these votes like that with Democrats, Remember, so you were expecting this to be a they would move it on as well. Right, you were as shy as probably Durbin.
A hundred per cent of the times we've done this, they vote party line. Look, the Democrats put the most partisan Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. You know, different committees have different the Ethoses Judiciary Committee is like the Roman Coliseum. You strap on your armor and you get battle axes and you go fight the barbarians. The Commerce Committee, which I'm the ranking member on, it's totally different. Commerce Committee. It's Kumbai Yah. You go arm in arm, you work together,
you cooperate. And what's interesting is many of the same people are on both committees. But it's just like the committees operate differently, they take up different topics. And so my entire remarks at the markup, I assumed none of these Democrats, it doesn't matter what I say, they're not going to listen to me.
They're going to vote yes.
But really what I was aiming, Look, it's why I asked Durban, when you guys party line vote this out. We ought to have a vote on the floor because we would have defeated this judge on the floor. Joe Manchin was not going to vote for this judge. I think we might well have gotten Kirsten Cinema. And as I mentioned, for Tester and Brown a couple of week, couple of months before an election to vote for a judge who did this that could cost them their elections.
And so I was like all right, if you want to move this radical, let's get a vote right now, and let's let the voters have a say in this. I was very confident we would defeat her on the floor. I got to say, I was stunned when Asaf voted no, and I think the Democrats were too. It has never happened since I've been on Judiciary. Republicans have done that. Republicans did that to Trump a couple of times. There were judges that we decided, no, that's not going to fly.
But the Democrats have never done that. And that is a victory, a big, big victory, and I think it shows just how extreme and out of the mainstream this White House and Democrats and the Senate are that every Democrat but one was prepared to move forward. By the way, none of the Democrats argued with what I said, none of them. None of them engaged and had an argument on the other side, other than Durbin said, well, she was a magistrate judge, so technically she didn't order the
guy to a women's prison. She just recommended that he go to a women's prison, against the strenuous opposition of Bureau of Prisons. By the way, who said that that there was a big risk of sexual assault. But other than that, the other Democrats all just sat there silently. But you know what they're counting on. I want everyone listening to this podcast to ask yourself, did you hear about this judge on the six o'clock news nowhere?
Could you?
This is a dead story?
Did you read about it the New York Times? This is a New York judge. Chuck Schumer picked this judge. This is a judge who was nominated to be a New York federal judge. She was just defeated the Senate Judiciary Committee. Is it on the front page of the New York Times today?
You know?
You and I are recording it on Thursday. But I'm going to win a gazillion dollars. I don't have a gazillion dollars, but it doesn't matter because I'm not going to lose the wager. It's not going to be on the front page of the New York Times. The media doesn't want you to know about it because and by the way, I was waiting for one of the Democrats to self righteously say trans women are women?
What do you mean?
Why are you calling him a man?
And recall when this judge was being at her hearing and I cross examined her. She said during the hearing, well she was entirely female. And I said, judge, really, really, does this person have male genitalia? Well, yes, well then he's not entirely female. Yeah, and the irony. Literally the day before the markup, the story breaks that this guy pulled his genitalia out and was waving in front of the other women and harassing them and was put in administrative segregation for doing so.
There's no surprise.
By the way. Let me ask you something.
If you're a dude and you get convicted of a violent crime and you have a choice, do you go to a men's prison or a women's prison? What moron would choose to go to a men's prison?
Yeah, just on the issue of safety to yourself, right, say, hey, I identify as a woman because you know, the chance of you being assaulted goes significantly down.
Sure, And look the letters I read. Those letters were powerful. And you know what, none of the Democrats in the committee even read the damn letters. None of them cared. I entered him into the record, I asked later, I didn't play this, but I asked, did any of you read the letter?
Nobody responded, They literally don't care.
They voted a confirmer anyway, And it's an example of how the left is utterly out of touch. They do not care about the people they're hurting, whether it's the people who are dying from illegal immigrants that their open borders are letting into this country, or whether it's about the women who are being raped because the policies they support are putting male sexual predators in female prisons. And this is happening over and over and over again, and
not a one of them they don't mention it. They'll just repeat their ideology trans women are women except for the fact that they have genitalia that can rape a woman, and they keep doing so in prison, over and over again, setting that minor, inconvenient detail aside. Other than that, my ideology says, go ahead.

I want to move to the other big news that we mentioned earlier, and both of these stories are massive. Number one, we're hearing that Joe Biden's campaign commissioned a Trump versus Harris poll. There's
two thoughts you could go with here. One it's an accent that it leaked, or two they did on purpose to leak it, and they're undermining their main candidate, Joe Biden, trying to force him out. Let me start by getting your reaction to that.
Well, Look, I think we are seeing Joe Biden in free fall. We're seeing Democrats turn on him every day. We're seeing additional Democrat House members turn on him. We saw this week Democrats Center Peter Welch come out and say Biden shouldn't run. What we know that Democrat Senator Mark Warner was trying to get other Democrats to do the same. We've seen NBC turn on them, We've seen CNN turn on them, We've seen the New York Times turn on and we've seen George Clooney turn on him.
And it's every day you look at the campaign. So so NBC News reported quote, no one involved in the effort thinks he has a pass. That is a quote from Biden campaign insiders who say the writing is on the wall. And here's another quote quote. The Biden campaign has started to quietly assess the viability of Harris's candidacy against Trump in a new head to head poll. A source familiar with the decision told NBC News Now that means the campaign is leaking this story. Hey, we better
check out Kamala uh oh, our guy's in trouble. Let's let's go do the polling. His own campaign team is leaking again with him. Let's go back to that quote from it campaign team. No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path that ain't good.
Yeah, it's not good.
And if they're doing this to undermine his candidacy, I think it's also goes back to the point that we've kind of started to witness, which is whether you're a cabinet member or you're on the campaign, you're fighting now for your own survival and the power and the access
to power. You don't want to lose. So if you think you're going to lose with Joe Biden, then why not throw a poll out there for COMMA and see if that gives you a better result, which means you get to keep your job in an administration.
Yeah, look, this is all about power, and you know we mentioned also there was the bombshell story this week that again is not getting a ton of coverage, but there has not been a single cabinet meeting in eight months. That that is bizarre that there hasn't been a cabinet meeting. The cabinet doesn't meet and in the last last full cabinet meeting took place on October second, twenty twenty three. And not only that, there's a story from CNN quote
back in Washington. There have been clear signs throughout his term of Biden being increasingly stage managed, with lists of talking points, names of questioners, and drawings of where he should walk presented to him by aids ahead of closed door cabinet meetings that Biden attends. It is customary for cabinet officials to submit questions and key talking points that they plan to present in front of Biden ahead of
time to White House aids. Two sources with direct knowledge told CNN, quote the entire display is kind of an act. One of those sources told CNN they would come and say, hey, the President is going to call on you in about twenty five minutes and ask this question, what are the
bullet points you'll respond with. The second source, who echoed the same description, said that when Biden attends cabinet meetings, they are quote not free wheeling and pretty well orchestrated, and the meetings themselves are infrequent, with one cabinet secretary telling CNN they are uncertain of Biden's condition because they so rarely see him.
Wow, there now is a real question about the twenty fifth Amendment being a possibility. Remember this was something that Democrats were obsessed with with Donald Trump. I want to just remind people back in two thousand in seventeen, this is what Democrats were saying on TV.
This is scary hashtag twenty fifth Amendment.
President is not equipped to do with the job.
So now they're saying he's mentally incapacitated, and more than two dozen Democratic lawmakers are backing a bill that says he should leave office.
Should he be removed, his brain.
Is simply incapable of processing the information, emotionally psychologically unstable, initiate proceedings to remove the president.
You and several of your Democratic House colleagues met with a psychiatry professor from Yale, doctor Bandy Lee. She holds an end today quote as the president is unraveling. He seems to be losing his grip on reality and reverting to conspiracy theories.
Doctor Lee and other psychiatrists who've been up to meet with members of Congress have been predicting increasingly delusional and heronoid behavior on the part of the president. The president is dangerous and unable to successfully meet the powers and duties of office.
That was twenty seventeen, not about Joe Biden, but about what's amazing.
You could imagine every one of those quotes about Joe Biden. Yeah, and those quotes I think didn't happen to mention other than maybe the first one Trump's name. And so if someone just heard that snippet, they might say, wow, the d's are ready to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. I got to say, look, the fact that the CNN story is quoted is leaking from the cabinet.
Well, and this goes to reporting today from CNN. Here is the bombshell sea and report that cabinet secretaries not only so many questions, but my question now is is this being done on purpose so that they may actually start talking about the twenty fifth Amendment. Listen to how CNN blew this up today at.
The White House perspective now with CNN's MJ.
Lee.
Who's there for is MJ you and your colleagues have some reporting on the mood behind the scenes.
What are you hearing from your sources?
Well, boris there's certainly been a lot of confusion and anger and sadness inside the White House, across the administration, the campaign, and across the Democratic Party more broadly since
the President's really halting and shocking debate performance. My colleagues and I have spoken over the course of the last two weeks to dozens of Democratic sources, including I should note senior Democrats who have spent real time with the president and in some cases have known the president for years and What has been striking is that none of them had ever seen this version of President Biden that we all saw on the debate stage that was so
faltering and days and plenty of officials that we spoke with said, look, of course, we've known that the president has aged. He is certainly not the same person that we know from say, a year ago. But what they had said, and that was so noteworthy, is that they said they couldn't have possibly known about the full extent of the president's decline. And what many of them blame at this point is this apparatus and daily operation that is built around the president that is so painfully choreographed
and stage managed. They said, that is designed to prevent the president from being often out in these unscripted settings for an extended period of time, and that really what that meant was that only a small circle of inner circle of advisors and perhaps family members could have known about sort of this full picture of the president's condition.
Just one example that is in our story is that, according to two sources, before cabinet meetings that the president attends, cabinet officials will submit their questions and talking points, key talking points and bulletpoints that they plan to present to the president in these closed door meetings. This is how one source described it. They said, the entire display is
kind of an act. They would come and say, Hey, the President is going to call on you about twenty five minutes in and ask this question, what are the bullet points that you'll respond with. Now, the White House's defense has been that that is standard practice for any administration. They said, in a setting like this, you never want the president to be not aware of what is going to be discussed.
They you look at this senator, I sit there and I'm like, Okay, You've got people that serve at the pleasure of the president who are now looking out for their own best interests.
They don't want to lose their power.
You got people on his campaign that apparently have the same mentality as these cabinet members. And all the leaks about Joe Biden are coming from within. Now you can't control them. White House leaks destroy presidencies. And now it's like, if you're leaking this and you're a senior cabinet member, are you doing it to prep the country for possibly the twenty fifth.
Look, I think that prospect is rising. I got to say, also, the White House Defense. Well, this is standard operating procedure.
Listen.
I have been in literally hundreds of meetings with presidents, whether Donald Trump or Barack Obama, and I've never been in one meeting where we had talking points and it was it was choreographed. That doesn't happen. I talked to Donald Trump a couple of days on the go in the phone call. He didn't know what I was going to say. I didn't know what he was gonna say, because you're talking to an actual human being. Every day when senators meet, we don't read scripts. Would you'd like
to do this job? You actually have to be able to talk about colleagues and say okay, what's going on, and ask questions and discuss things. Now, look, you'll read a speech that's commonplace, but at a meeting, a cabinet meeting where they're supposed to be your top advisors. I meet with my senior staff every week. My senior staff don't come in. I don't ask them give me the talking points of what you're gonna say before you say it.
Because professionals are able to have a conversation, listen and process information, and by the way, then ask follow up questions, what about this? Well, should we do this? What do you think about this? Okay, let's go down this direction. That's actually the way presidents operate. I've been in bunches of free flowing presidential meetings with Trump. Or we'd be all over the place and you had a peace we'll argue on one side and arguing the other, and trumple
say what about this? And 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 ten ten thirty at night. That is dramatically different from the kabuki theater that Joe Biden was putting on.
Now.
To be clear, his entire cabinet was complicit, His entire White House staff was complicit. The Democrats in Congress were complicit. They all knew this. They're all saying, gosh, we're shocked, just absolutely shocked. I've told you Biden won't meet with Republican senators. That's been true for three and a half years. I haven't had any meeting with President.
Remembers now, right, Yeah, it's not just you guys, it's now the cabinet. He won't even meet with yet.
Look, when Republican senators meet to have lunch, we talk about how weird it is that we haven't talked to Joe Biden.
We all know Joe.
He was a man of the Senate for forty years, but they won't let him meet with us. Because this has been obvious for three and a half years. And the media, the Democrats, they were all complete until the debate thrust it unavoidably in front of the public, and now they're all running scared.
Does this change the calculus in your mind for Democrats moving forward? I mean I thought by the end of this week they would get back in line behind him. We don't seem to have that happening at all. And it now seems that from within are the people that are hurting him the most.
I'll give you an example.
Jake Tamper went on his show on CNN today and this is what he said.
Let's bring in our panel. And on that note, I want to share something with you all that a longtime Biden advisor just texted me. Okay, he or she said, quote, I just think there's an unfortunate inevitability to all this. I am sad because I've known him a long time, and he's a good man. I'm angry at his inner circle who have not served him well and at times
committed malpractice in their service. And I am frustrated at the family, the Biden family, for not expanding the circle so there would be at least a truthteller or two in their midst They created a perfect storm of an echo chamber, and it is biting them all in the ass. Again, as with MJ. Apologies for the salty language, but this is the extent of the frustration, Gloria, your reaction.
I get this is Jake Tapper. He's not burning somebody. This advisor, this long time advisor, I think made it very clear that.
For well, listen, listen like Ron go on TV yet listen. Ron Klain sent that text expecting that Jake Tapper would would read it on air.
And by the way, I don't know it was Ron Klain. I'm just just picking up.
Yeah, I mean, whoever did, I said, go on air and read this. I'm letting you do it.
Look, you don't send it to Jake Tapper without expecting that he's going to repeat it. That's why you're sending it. And look, the press is turning on him. Remember like twelve minutes ago, where the corporate media would say it's a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory when you say that Obama's running things. We've said a number of times in this podcast that it's Obama's pulling the strings.
I want you to listen to.
Morning Joe talking about who's really behind everything right now, give a.
Listen Before I play that, I want to tell you about our friends of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Since the start of the Sword of Iron War in Israel in October seventh, we have seen death and destruction in the Holy Land, and for more than forty years, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground in Israel and within hours of the war starting, and everyday since, they've been feeding the hungry and protecting
the vulnerable. The attacks continue in the north, in the South, in Israel, but there are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories in a series the Fellowship calls Faces of Iron. I want you to hear their stories because so many in the media have not been covering them. Survivors, for example, like Danny, whose beloved daughter and her husband were burned alive on October seventh by hamas teris need to be heard by the world. Danny is a commander of the
volunteer fire and rescue in his community. Despite fire equipment nearby, Danny could do nothing as his daughter's house burned and his daughter and her husband lost their lives. Christians like you support Israel through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Is this support that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong. I want you to hear more of their stories like the one I just mentioned, and I want you to share your support for Israel.
And stand with the people of Israel.
All you have to do to hear these stories and spread them on social media is go to support IFCJ dot org. That's support IFCJ dot org. Here's that clip center that you mentioned a moment ago morning, Joe.
Hey.
One thing that we do have to underline here just 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 quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.
I mean, if you and I had said that a month ago, they would go crazy, They would mock us. Not now I want to play also what Mika Berzinski said about the George Clooney op ed, because that's just give a listen to what Mika says, Yes, this doesn't George Clooney, but but well, what do you.
Mean it just buzzn't? Come on?
Well, who do you think it was?
Matt?
It was not Matt Damon, It wasn't Julia Roberts.
Who do you think it was? You can say the name, It's not Baltimore. Are you saying you think Barack Obama put him up to this?
I think that Barack Obama has a lot of influence, and I think.
That there's uh, there's a lot there, There's a lot.
There, there's a lot there, there's a lot there.
Really, there are two people in this picture, and one has had a presidency that was absolutely undeniably historic. Well, I think you have two people that had extraordinarily at historic.
In terms of legislative accomplishments.
Well, you say, and they're both historic, and they're both historic, and Barack Obama for sure Hordable Care Act. George, I mean not George Cliney. You know he probably said it too. Willie but Joe Biden actually whispered that that was a big deal, effing dial.
This is the conversation they're having on MSNBC as George Quinney comes out, I love Joe Biden, but we need a new nominee.
Yeah.
And to be clear, Politico also reported quote before Hollywood icon and Democratic donor George He published his buzzy and brutal New York Times op ed yesterday calling on Biden to step aside as the nominee. We're told he reached out to former President Barack Obama to give him the
heads up. The two men, who are friendly, both attended the LA fundraiser Clooney referenced in his piece where the actor said he'd beheld a diminished Biden and that the leader he interacted with was quote the same man we all witnessed at the debate. While Obama did not encourage or advise Clooney to said what he said, he also didn't object to it were told from people familiar with
their exchange. The lack of pushback is an eye popping revelation, given that the former president was one of the first big voices defending Biden following his abysmal debate performance, while many of his former aides have been some of the incumbent's biggest critics. Again, if you and I said that twelve minutes ago, they would have fitted us for the tinfoil hats and said we were loons. And now every one of them is saying, this is Barack Obama pulling string.
Yeah, we'll get ready.
