Well, we broke the news on the program today with Dan Bongino

of the resignation of the head of the Secret Service.

We went through her testimony yesterday.

It is abysmal.

But we also talked to a couple of congressmen.

One was there yesterday,

and

what she said

is really astonishing.

And also another congressman from Arizona that was on the roof yesterday.

He's a former Navy SEAL and now a congressman from Arizona.

He was on the roof where the sniper was, where they were supposed to be, and the

would-be assassin was lying and the things that he saw, something is very, very,

very wrong.

You'll get all of this on today's podcast.

You know that whole life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness thing that, you know, you know the rest.

For me, happiness is being as simple as just having time with your family.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

From the state of Florida, Congresswoman Hannah Polina Luna joins us now.

She was

in the oversight briefing yesterday, and she said, after leaving the briefing this morning, I am more convinced than ever that Crooks wasn't working alone.

That is the shooter.

She's here to talk about that now.

Congresswoman, welcome to the program.

Hey, thanks for having me back on.

Sure.

So what did you hear yesterday that

made you come to this conclusion?

I mean, I think we all listened to the testimony yesterday and thought

there's something very, very wrong here.

But what did you hear that made you say he wasn't alone?

We We were actually told directly that

specifically with the investigation that they haven't been able, they have not rolled out the fact that he was working alone, meaning, and I've thought this all along based on what we've been seeing with testimony, evidence coming forward, is that he had a handler.

I don't know how many people he's working with, but I definitely based on that.

And then also, I think it's just really, really mind-blowing that in the hearing yesterday, I actually asked the very same question to the Secret Service Secretary.

And and she actually again not just on my question but on a number of questions where we had the evidence right in front of us conflicting statements or wrong statements just not even prepared to answer those questions so I still hold by that opinion and I think that it's really really insane that the media itself is not picking up on the fact that this crooks character was on social media gaming apps where you can communicate I'm hoping that they have subpoenaed those records with discord in order to see who exactly he was chatting with maybe even flagging the IP addresses.

You know, I found out something from the FBI.

My son was

somebody tried to

groom and grab my son and we caught him

at the last minute.

Yeah.

And the FBI was in my house and they took his gaming system.

And they told me something that I didn't know.

Gaming systems record everything.

Everything.

I did not know that either.

So

I didn't know that either.

So who has this guy's gaming system?

And what gaming system was it?

Because the information the FBI said that they could get from his gaming system was mind-blowing.

So who has his gaming system?

It's interesting because I had seen some information come out.

So I was actually just kind of bouncing questions off of Capitol Police, actually on my way back from the convention, just kind of seeing if they knew about front digital forensics, all of that.

And to my understanding, that one of these games that he was allegedly on actually

was

on a system that's specific for PCs.

So I think, and it's very likely obviously that the FBI already has that.

But I mean, either which way, the reason why I and a number of my colleagues have been pushing for this task force and select committee with full subpoena power to conduct a parallel investigation is because I have zero faith and confidence in the FBI.

And you're seeing that even come out right now.

They won't share information with members of Congress, especially on this attempted assassination attempt.

You see that the Department of Homeland Security is actually stonewalling Congress as well and had to have subpoenaed communications between Secret Service and

and other law enforcement area.

They weren't willing to give that information up to us.

So I just, if there's nothing to hide and they're they're not being shady, why are they hiding everything?

Why do they want it done in secret?

Why did they push so hard to prevent us from actually having this hearing in the public?

That's why

that really bothers me.

Let's just say that it is all what it seems to be on the surface.

Okay.

He acted alone.

It was just really bad,

you know, Secret Service policies, et cetera, et cetera.

Let's just say that's what it is.

You know the country is at a tipping point and at a boiling point.

And you also keep saying you despise disinformation,

conspiracy theories, et cetera, et cetera.

Why in the world would you keep everything quiet?

Why wouldn't you become overly transparent to turn the temperature of the country down?

Exactly.

I literally asked her this yesterday in the hearing.

And And also, too, the one thing I was specifically concerned about, and I also, too, was trying to get questions for the American people on is I had looked at this video and theory that there was a second shooter on a water tower.

Well, while I was digging through information before the hearing,

it comes to find out,

not from Secret Service, but from our sourcing and testimony from law enforcement in the area, that there was actually 40 sniper teams.

And so, according to the ESU Butler Emergency Response Coordinator team, Secret Service never actually even showed up to get the briefing with the other snipers.

So, what is this person, is this individual who is on the water tower?

Was that an individual?

Was that a shadow?

Is it someone who's one of these 40 sniper teams?

I mean, we need to ask and answer those questions.

And she couldn't even do that, the basics.

And so, we are left with the vote for holding her accountable is going to come to the floor.

We have Nancy Mace that just filed to impeach her.

I think that'll pass.

But in the event that it doesn't, we have some other mechanisms.

And there's been bipartisan calls at this point for her to resign.

So that's how bad she did, to put it in perspective.

Bipartisan for her to resign.

Well, somebody, I mean, you guys are the oversight, and somebody has to answer.

It's like walking into your boss's office and being belligerent.

You fire that person.

You fire that person until you get answers on something.

Let me ask you this.

There was a story that came out from Mike Waltz, the Congressman Mike Waltz last week, and he just said it, and then I never heard it again, that Crooks had three encrypted overseas accounts.

He never said that they were phone or banking, and it's not usual for a 20-year-old.

Is that true?

Do we know anything about that?

I haven't been able to follow up on that information either.

But what I will say is, based on what we're being told, and what I can say is that I do believe that he had handlers, and I think that he was using actually these systems to communicate with people, potentially preventing there from actually being a record of communication, because some of these apps will only store for X amount of time.

But if you're saying it's on the gaming system, I mean, again, the FBI is not sharing any information with us.

So that's been shady also too.

Let's not forget he had very advanced detonation systems.

He had surveilled.

He learned to use a rangefinder.

There's no way that this, you know,

year old went from being just some

quiet kid to being a trained assassin, and that's exactly what it was.

So I hate to even ask this question, so I don't know if I want the answer.

Do you believe at this point it's more likely the handler was American or foreign?

I honestly don't know, but what I will, I guess, based on what I'm seeing, weigh in on and say is that they were reporting right after this, and I don't know if this was Secret Service just putting up these reports only to throw us off on their complete failure, but they were reporting that there were foreign nations that had attempted or were talking about assassination attempts on President Trump.

And so,

part of me is like, is it that, or is it actually something, you know, intentional negligence?

Now, let me switch gears kind of.

President hasn't been seen in a few days, and he was really sick.

We're now hearing that it was more than COVID in Las Vegas, that there was a medical team that he went and saw, I think, at the hospital, and it was significant, but we don't know because nobody's really telling us.

Then we haven't seen him

at all.

And now, yesterday,

he began delegating his presidential powers to the Secretary of the Treasury and State Department when it comes to Ukraine.

I've never seen a president delegate his presidential authorities to other agencies.

Have you?

I have not.

And to just put some context in that as well, I was actually walking back from my office a couple, maybe about three weeks ago, and I had run into Senator Mike Lee.

And we were chatting, and he goes, you know,

something along the lines of, you know, I think they know that Biden's going to lose this election and that we're going to take back, you know, House, Senate, president.

So they're trying to handcuff a presidential administration on Ukraine.

And so to my knowledge, back then, they were actually even trying to figure out ways to prevent and even treat Ukraine like a NATO ally so that we would not be able to,

to my understanding, like defund them in any capacity.

And so I think that's what you're starting to see.

And that's exactly why they delegated like that.

But I think, you know, going back to your point, we haven't even seen the president.

I think everyone knows that he's cognitively not there.

And I think that's why he needs to resign.

And I think it's very ironic that Democrats are saying, well, he's not fit to seek re-election, but he needs to serve out his term.

Like, that's insanity.

That's insane.

So who oversees the administration?

I mean, you have oversight of, you know, of

all of the cabinet,

but they're not doing anything about it.

I really don't think anything's going to happen this term to the Secret Service.

I'd be shocked if it did, and I'd be happy if it did,

but nobody ever is held accountable.

Who oversees?

Who can tell me who is running the country?

Well, it's supposed to be Congress and Senate that would have a check power on the executive branch.

But as you're seeing, Senate right now is blocking anything that would even allow us to impeach Biden based on what he's done that would, I would argue, is criminal.

So it would then be up to his cabinet.

And what we're seeing is that his cabinet seems very much so to be in the influencer or circle of likely Obama holdovers, politics, and schumer.

And also, I think that it's, you know, timing-wise, very convenient that we were hearing from great sourcing that Biden was doubling down.

He was not going to get out.

He was in this literally until he breathes last.

He did not want to give up the presidency.

And it appears that he was forced out or likely threatened with the 25th Amendment via his own cabinet.

So

these are remarkable times that we're living in.

I just, it's every day

is another page in the history book.

I know, and you've got a front row seat to it.

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

Dan Bongino, good friend, welcome to the program.

How are you, sir?

Hey, good to talk to you, Glenn.

Doing okay.

Dan,

I remember when we first met, you were still on presidential detail, and

you said that you were standing in the room with these guys while I was on the air, and they hated me.

And because because of their reaction, you started really paying attention to what was being said in those rooms.

And I told you, I'm really concerned about the security of the president because I was on the outside looking at you and people like you and seeing the Secret Service being completely inept from the top, not necessarily the agents.

It has gotten so bad now, Dan, and I'm not sure that it is they're being inept.

I'm not sure what the hell's going on.

Yeah, these problems aren't new, and there's a lot of kind of Johnny come lately commentary on this from the left-wing media goons.

But the reality is, you know, people like me were calling attention to this problem over a decade ago.

And, you know, I've got the receipts to back it up.

I mean, you can go look at interviews I gave to the Washingtonian, a book I wrote.

called Protecting the President, all diagnosing all the problems with the Secret Service.

You're going to read the book.

You're going to think, gosh, did he write this 10 minutes ago?

No, I wrote it 10 years ago.

And what wound up happening, and

a subject you're probably unfortunately familiar with, is the left-wing media, rather than analyzing what Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Hannity, and Dan Bongino say, they go on attack mode right away because of the messenger.

They just don't like us.

See, I don't think the same with them.

If I hear something from the left-wing media, I can independently vet.

It doesn't mean it's naturally false.

Unfortunately, a lot of times it is.

But the irony is they claim to be journalists.

They attacked me as a conspiracy theorist

for telling folks on my show in August of 2023.

It's episode 2079, if anyone wants to listen from last year, where I said that Donald Trump was likely going to be hurt or killed.

I was getting that information from high-ranking Secret Service sources who were very troubled by the minimal security posture applied to Donald Trump and the repeated requests for enhanced security that were being rebuffed.

And Daniel Larkin from NBC wrote a piece you can still read because it's embarrassingly still up, calling me a conspiracy theorist, saying I was stating this without evidence without ever having speaking to me or asking me what my evidence was.

So, you know, if you're listening to shows like this and your program, you know, you're six weeks, six months, six years ahead of the news cycle.

If you listen to

liberal media, you're consistently stunned by attempts like this on Donald Trump's live thinking, what happened.

So tell me your gut at this point.

And I know I'm asking you to go on limited facts because they're not releasing everything, but you have inside connections.

Does your gut tell you this is just more of the same incompetence times a thousand,

or is something nefarious going on?

Well, listen, the latter I can't answer.

One thing I never do is I never go down roads where I don't know if it ends off a cliff because then you wind up like the left-wing media.

Oh, look, there's a pee-pee tape out there.

Really?

Have you seen it?

No.

I don't know, Afarius.

I can tell you the level of incompetence leads naturally to the second question.

You're not crazy to ask it, but the level of incompetence here is stunning.

Listen, because people think in threes and nuggets and pieces of information, I'm going to give you a couple of chunks of information here from over 10 years of experience and having worked with three presidents, two Democrats and a Republican, having done hundreds of advances and having actually done four foreign lead advances too.

So, you know, I know what I'm talking about.

To number one, why was President Trump on the X, that we would call the X?

Why was he out on the podium at all?

It's a question nobody can answer.

And it's also the reason in the hearing yesterday, if you go back and listen to it, the director, Tim Cheadle, a failed human being who disgracefully is still sitting in her job putting the nation at risk.

from her incompetence.

It's why she won't answer the timeline question.

Did you notice how cryptic she she was?

Yes.

She won't answer the timeline question because if she gives you a time that the threat was recognized,

then the obvious next question is: well, if you knew there was a threat up to an hour out, potentially 18 minutes out, depending on who you believe, why was President Trump walked on the stage in the middle of getting

scoped out and range-located by a sniper?

And she can't answer it.

So the panel won't answer the timeline question.

So, but her answer will seem to be in the coming days that, well, yes, but we didn't have communications open with the people that were there.

Those were local.

Don't you have a command center that?

Yes, don't waste your time.

You just said it.

Don't even

I don't care what her answer is.

It's called the command post.

Glenn, you know, you have zero experience as a secret service agent.

You're a very talented radio media guy.

Even you knew that.

I actually worked.

You never worked in the secret service.

You're like, wait, no.

Didn't they have a command center?

Here's the answer.

Yes, it's called the CP, the command post.

Every single law enforcement entity working that operation had either a representative or a radio in there.

There is absolutely zero chance the command post did not get information that they were working a suspicious male surveilling the outside of the perimeter with a range finder.

There's zero chance.

So when, you know, you ask questions like, well, how has he walked out on stage?

The answer is such incredible gross incompetence.

I don't blame people for saying there's got to be something more here.

I just don't know that.

All I'm telling you is that the failure here was so apocalyptic.

Everyone on that advanced team should have resigned the next day.

The director, the deputy director, all of them, how they still have jobs is incredible.

Let me throw one more thing out at you, too.

Let's just say all of the directors' stupid stories are accurate.

They're not, but say they are.

Say the roof was sloped.

It was hot that day.

Whatever ridiculous excuse you make.

God heaven.

I've run into problems in the past where we could not secure a line of sight problem.

We didn't have enough bodies, whatever.

I had a site with Hillary Clinton.

We just didn't have enough bodies to secure a dorm room looking out on her speech site at Hofstra University.

You know what I did?

I had them go out and get a $5 can of that snow spray, that fake snow.

Why would I do that?

Because I sprayed the windows.

Because I figured, listen, if we can't mitigate this line of sight threat, and this potential sniper, at least we can block the line of sight so they can't see what they're shooting.

Sometimes Sometimes it's the best you can do.

They didn't even do that.

They didn't even do that.

They just let the line of sight threat exist.

And the counter surveillance vulnerability assessment, which is a piece of paperwork the counter surveillance team looks at, that'll show that they knew that was a vulnerability and yet they did nothing about it.

They basically let him get shot.

They haven't released that though, have they?

That document?

No, they're going to claim it's classified.

It's not.

The site is over.

And here's another two pieces of paperwork.

There's a survey called the CS survey, the counter sniper survey.

That counter sniper survey will point out every single elevated high point in the area.

That'll have been on there, and you're going to see something.

I'm going to break this later on my show.

I'm not trying to be cryptic or funny about it with your show.

I'm just working the angle right now, and I want to be sure I'm correct.

But that specific high point, there's a major, major fiasco that happened there.

There was a communication lapse that is totally unforgivable.

But the counter surveillance and counter sniper survey will show that that high point was a vulnerability.

And then they're going to have to answer questions like when that wasn't posted, when he was on stage and allowed that person to get up there because there was no post there or nothing, why didn't you guys follow up?

The Secret Service is ultimately responsible.

Why didn't the site agent that day notice that one of the posts they had wasn't there?

I mean, this is an unforgivable, unfortunate series of events.

that basically caused this.

There's no other explanation.

So I had Eli Crane on, the congressman from Arizona that was up on the roof and posted a video of it yesterday.

And

he was standing in the barn, if you will, right behind where the shooter was.

And he's on the second floor inside, air conditioning, in an office.

And it has a window that looks right out on that roof.

If it was too hot or dangerous, Why were they on the first floor, not on the second floor, looking at the roof?

Glenn, again, the incompetence here.

These are hard interviews for me to give because the questions you're asking, again, as a guy with no Secret Service experience at all, my wife asked me the same question.

She was the database developer.

They're not explainable other than absolute, abject ignorance and stupidity.

Whoever did the advance that day, I don't know how they still have a job.

I really don't.

And, you know, here's another thing that here's the third question.

So I brought up the line of sight.

I brought up the paperwork.

I brought why was he on the X up?

There's another question that needs to be asked.

How did you not employ?

We have an aerial surveillance branch in the Secret Service.

Why was the aerial surveillance, a drone, a helicopter, a FLIR, an infra, you know, a forward-looking infrared, a thermal?

Why were these simple tools we use over and over not employed that day?

You would have seen the guy on the roof the second he got up there.

You know, Kim Cheadle, the failed director, said yesterday in the beginning of the hearing, if you go back and listen, we employ a 360 degree security coverage.

Well, 360 is a three-dimensional sphere.

That means above and below.

Well, where the hell was the above coverage?

He lied in the hearing.

There was nothing above.

There was no drone.

He had a drone, the bad guy.

We didn't have a drone.

Glenn, go to Amazon right now.

You get a drone for 40 bucks.

We couldn't send a drone up in the air.

Here's a $6 trillion federal budget.

What the hell is the federal government good for?

Why was there no drone?

The answer is, again, absolute stupidity.

And how these people have not been fired or resigned is really deeply disturbing at this point.

The government has no accountability whatsoever.

Dan,

when I heard the congressman yesterday.

Dan, hold on.

I'm hearing breaking news that she may be leaving, that the director may be leaving very soon.

So I'm just getting this now.

So we may be breaking out of

I predicted this last night.

So we'll see what happens.

Yeah.

She has no political support.

The Biden-Harris team doesn't want the headache.

The Democrats have bailed on her.

This woman needs to go.

She is a disgrace.

I'm getting this from a Secret Service friend right now.

Said, and she's out.

So whether he's got something, we're breaking on your show or not.

But this guy's been a reliable source for me.

Tell me, when I heard the congressman yesterday say that,

have you used any kind of of encrypted apps to communicate with anyone?

I was shocked to hear her say yes.

But when,

I mean, I don't know if congressmen are, you know,

smart enough to think this way, but I know I really try not to ask a question, especially if I'm...

if I am in a situation where I'm trying to prove somebody wrong.

I make sure I kind of know the answer to the question before I ask it.

That way,

when we come back to it later, I've got her on the record.

What the hell is on her private phone?

That's against the law.

Well, because we've been friends for a long time,

I'm not going to spin your wheels.

There are two people on this phone call, and one of them may have contributed to the asking of that question.

So you could probably figure out by the path of examination.

So, yeah,

TETL has no friends anymore in the Secret Service.

They're horrified by our leadership.

Let's just say a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend may have sent to a friend exactly that question who passed to a friend of a friend of another friend, and it made it into the hearing.

So that's how that.

And

what was the friend of a friend of a friend

saying that we should get that on the record for?

because the communications may have involved communications with significant White House officials on messaging.

And it may have involved

some, yes.

So we'll just

see what comes out in the wash.

Now, keep in mind.

Did it wait, did it maybe involve

this event?

Oh,

yeah.

That's a distinct possibility.

I mean, we're going to have to find out.

I don't know the exact content because I don't have her phone, but her agreeing to turn over her personal phone for forensic analysis to Lauren Boebert, who asks all the right questions, by the way, they should take her up on that offer.

I can almost guarantee you she's going to bail and lawyer up if she's asked to turn her personal phone over, or she's probably deleting messages right now.

Unbelievable.

Dan, as always, great to talk to you, and I'm so happy for your success.

Nobody deserves it more than you, Dan.

You are a good person.

I love you, Dan.

And a mentor, so I love you too, brother.

Thanks, man.

Thanks for having me.

Appreciate it.

Thanks.

All right.

You bet.

Dan Bongino, host of the Dan Bongino show.

You are listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

Need a little more?

Check out the full show podcast.

Let me just give you a story here.

This is from the Wall Street Journal yesterday.

Okay.

How the bet on an 81-year-old Joe Biden turned into an epic miscalculation.

It's from the Wall Street Journal.

It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen, recalled Representative Dean Phillips from Minnesota, a Democrat who went on to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against the president.

That was in October 2021.

That was the month that was the last time Biden met with the House Democratic caucus on the Hill regarding any legislation.

Nearly three years later, concerns about the 81-year-old president's age and mental acuity have put an abrupt cap on his half-century political career.

They had grown from a murmur among allies who said they believed or hoped they were catching the president on a bad day to a deafening roar as many of those same allies called on him to step aside in the wake of his disastrous June 27th debate performance.

On Sunday, Biden announced he was withdrawing from the presidential race, an

unparalleled step that leaves Democrats without a nominee less than four months before Election Day.

Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place, but it remains to be seen if the voters will rally behind her.

How the Democratic Party came to the brink of nominating a canamate candidate with an obvious flaw is a story of allies eager to look the other way.

Biden advisors who worked to stamp out doubts about his vigor and a party apparatus that boxed out all alternative candidates.

The result is an epic years-long miscalculation that has Democrats racing to mount an uncertain reboot of their campaign against Donald Trump.

Now, this happened in 2021,

that he was so bad that Lawmakers on the Hill, Democrats, said, what the hell?

What is that?

That was three years ago.

Three years ago.

Pat, who was the guy that was

up in France

for the D-Day

memorial service?

He was a long-term advisor, right?

And mentor.

Yeah, he considered Biden a friend.

A mentor.

And a mentor.

Yeah.

And he helped him with his campaign.

He's known him since 2014.

They've been friends all this time.

Biden helped him along, actually campaigned for him.

And at the D-Day celebration this summer, he said Biden didn't even know who he was.

And so he thought, well, okay, you know, it's a senior moment.

That happens to old people.

No, not if they're president of the United States.

At least it shouldn't.

And if it does, you might want to say something?

Not wait till after the disastrous debate performance and then say, oh, yeah, yeah, I saw that a while ago.

So, yeah.

To me,

that's treason.

I mean, it does.

Got to say something.

Yeah, you are to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You don't have a Constitution of the United States if your president is senile and you don't do anything about it.

He is the commander-in-chief.

And I can't believe these people are

that half the country is still okay

with being lied to for this long.

And everyone who ever said anything about it was smeared and destroyed.

You're a conspiracy.

I mean, up to two weeks before the debate, they were still smearing people for saying that he was not all there.

The guy has clearly, he has Parkinson's.

He clearly, I mean, I was with a bunch of doctors because I'm

kidney stones.

Anyway,

so I'm with a bunch of doctors and, you know, we're, we're talking and I said, okay,

guys,

if this guy walked into your clinic or your hospital,

what would you say?

And all of them at the same time said Parkinson's.

I said, wow, wow.

What?

Did you guys rehearse that?

And they're like, no,

he has every sign of Parkinson's.

And they went through them.

And I was like, that's, I mean, he's exhibiting classic Parkinson's disease.

Right.

I didn't realize until recently that

the mental, the cognition was part of that, was part of Parkinson's.

Did you?

I didn't know that until recently.

So apparently that is

one of the signs.

So

scary.

So now he is.

Now he hasn't been seen since Vegas.

And I didn't put any thought into this at all until I've now heard reports that people who were there at the hospital facility that he was brought to for COVID said that it was a medical incident, that he had, it wasn't COVID, it was something else.

They didn't say what it was, but they said it was a significant event.

Yeah, they even called it a medical emergency.

Yeah,

we need to know.

We need to.

We have to know.

He's intending to serve out his term.

And I don't think he's capable of.

He cannot.

No, he cannot serve out his term.

Listen to what he did yesterday.

And when I say, look what he did, I put that in air quotes.

Memorandum for the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Treasury.

Subject.

Delegation of certain functions and authorities under the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the law of the United States of America, including Section 301, Title III, United States Code, I hereby order as follows, Section 1, A.

I hereby delegate to the Secretary of the Treasury the functions and authorities vested in the President of the United States by Section 104A1 and 104A2A of the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act, Division F of public law, blah, blah, blah.

B, I hereby delegate to the Secretary of State in consultation with the Secretary of Treasury the functions and authorities vested in the President by Sections 104G, 104I, 105C, 105E, 105G of the Act.

The delegations in this memorandum shall apply to any provisions of any future public laws that are the same or substantially the same as those provisions referenced in this memorandum.

The Secretary of Treasury is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

Joseph Biden Jr.

So he's giving the power for this particular thing,

the power of the presidency

to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of State?

Have you ever heard that being done before, Pat?

Ever?

No, no.

If it's happened before, I've never heard of it.

I can't imagine why you would do that.

Why?

Unless you're incapacitated and you want to make sure that money keeps flowing to Ukraine

and you can't do that.

You're incapable.

So you delegate that authority?

But you would be incapable.

If you were incapable, you would be so incapable.

You wouldn't come up with this.

You wouldn't go, you know what?

Right.

If I remember Section 301 of Title III,

I can delegate.

You wouldn't do that.

Somebody is doing this.

Dr.

Jill.

Who is running our country?

Dr.

Jill.

Barack Obama.

It's Barack Obama.

Yeah, it is.

It's not Jill anymore.

It's Barack Obama.

Yeah.

Yep.

You know,

do we have the audio of him calling in to support Kamala yesterday?

Do we have this audio?

Yeah.

We do have that.

Yes.

I think it's cut 15 from

my the earlier one.

Okay.

Biden calls in former campaign headquarters prior to Kamala.

Here it is.

Cut 15.

Well, we're working on it.

Now we've got to, you know, the name has changed the top of the ticket, but the mission hasn't changed at all.

And by the way, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going to be out there on the campaign with her, with Kamala.

I'm going to be working like hell, both as a sitting president, getting legislation passed, as well as campaigning.

You know, what we still need to save is democracy.

And

Trump is still a danger to the community.

He's a danger to the nation.

And just ask my foreign policy colleagues, my counterparts, and other people around the world and at home.

Look, so I'm hoping you'll give every bit of your heart and soul that you gave to me to Kamala.

Do you notice the thing that's going on with his teeth?

There's got sort of a slurring of his eshes going on there.

You don't usually have.

I don't know.

There's people who suspect that might be AI.

I don't know.

We haven't seen the guy in five days.

I know, but I mean,

it did sound like him, but I mean, you could pull this off.

In today's world, we could pull this off.

Sure, you could.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Without pushing off.

Could we play cut 16 and 17, please?

Here's Kamala asking Joe Biden

if he's watching still.

Cut 16.

Joe, are you watching?

You hear this clapping?

Can you see it?

I'm watching.

I'm watching.

I know it.

Okay.

That is fun.

Okay, cut 17.

It is so good to hear our president's voice.

Joe, I know you're still on the call, and we've been talking every day.

You probably, you guys heard it from Doug's voice.

We love Joe and Jill.

We really do.

They truly are like family to us.

And we just everybody here does.

It's neutral.

I knew you were still there.

You're not going anywhere, Joe.

I'm watching you, kids.

I'm watching you, kids.

I love you.

I love you, Joe.

Oh, wow.

That was a moment.

Wasn't it?

Wasn't that a sweet moment?

Oh, boy.

Yeah, it was.

You still hear the clapping?

You hear the clapping, Joe?

Like he's four.

Yeah, clapping.

I mean,

wow.

Amazing.

Amazing.

It's a lot like

after the debate when Dr.

Jill was treating him the same way.

You answered every question.

That was so good.

That was really good.

Good for you.

Who can talk?

You can.

Who can answer questions?

You do.

Who can translate speech incoming and outgoing?

You can sometimes.

Good job.

Here's a biscuit.

It was embarrassing.

It's embarrassing.

It's a leader of the free world.

It's embarrassing and much worse.

It's detrimental.

Let me just ask this of every American right now.

Every American.

Do you believe that our country

is safe right now?

Do you believe that there is no one in Russia, no one in China, Turkey, Iran, North Korea,

that they are not right now going, look

at this country.

It is table

right now.

We could destroy it right now.

Who's in charge?

Who's in charge?

I mean, they can't keep the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump.

They can't, they, they, they, you have no idea who's even running the country.

If you ask that

we, don't you think the answer is no?

I'm not comfortable with it.

I'm, I, I think rank and file Democrats are worried about this, too.

They have to be.

I agree.

And they, they need to exercise the 24th Amendment.

It just,

this guy has got to go from the button.

He has to go.
