If you are not fit, then you must quit

We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out Because our love is too much, baby Why can't you see, what you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say We can go on together, with suspicious minds And we can build our dreams, on suspicious minds It's back to national politics today as we talk about old crooked Joe in the latest Robert Herr report on the documents they found in Biden's garage. Hey, let's get in the ring. I'm your host, Keith Marshall, and let's go one more round. The only thing we have to say is no, hands down, this won't work. We will make America great again. If I say something that you don't want to listen to, don't listen. Welcome to One More Round Podcast. I'm your host as always, Keith Marshall, and I'm glad to have you in the ring. Today's subject, I kind of like the title, if you are not fit, then you must quit. You know, we've watched over the last week some really amazing things when it comes to our leadership. Actually, in the last few weeks. I've really been shocked. You know, I thought of an analogy, it's probably a bad one. But you know, time has a way of bringing things to the light. You know, when I work in the garden a lot, and I'll go out and I'll till, and it'll pull up rocks, and I'll clean out all those rocks, and I'll think I have a pretty good surface. But you know, lo and behold, the next year there's more rocks. And you'd think eventually, you know, you would run out of rocks. But you know, time has a way of pushing hard things to the top. And that's true in our own life. Things we don't like to deal with or to talk about or to confront. Time has a way of pushing those things up to the top where we have to deal with them. And it's not any different when it comes to electing our leaders, both locally and in the state and in the nation. Problems that they have, fallacies, inabilities, vices, whatever it is, they have a tendency when pressure comes and when hard times comes, it tends to push their bad qualities to the top. And eventually we see exactly kind of what's been hidden behind the curtain, so to speak. And then oftentimes when we get a look behind that curtain, it's too late. That person is already in charge and they've done the damage that is sometimes irreversible. And we're stuck. We pay the consequences of bad decisions, of bad choices at the ballot box. And we have to pick up the pieces, the American people, the local citizens, whatever the situation may be. They have to pick up the pieces of the bad decisions by their leaders. And sometimes there are bad decisions in voting. You know, it's hard to know sometimes who to pick, who to vote for. We're bombarded by a lot of things. A lot of fake news, so to speak. A lot of false advertising. Sometimes the person purports to be smarter than they are or more capable in certain areas. And we just sometimes have to go with our gut or our best guess and sometimes we're wrong. We're just wrong. And none is that more evident than in the election of Joe Biden for President of the United States. I have to say that, just to put it out this way, the only reason Joe Biden won the presidency is the hatred or the drummed-up hatred of President Trump. Many votes for Joe Biden were not a vote for him, but a vote against Donald Trump. And, you know, there were some warning signs about Biden and his cognitive ability way back before the election. You know, we noticed that he wasn't doing a lot of campaigning and they were able to kind of crutch that against COVID and being careful. But it was a little obvious, though, don't you think, as time went, that he was purposely not engaging in the kind of discussions and interviews and things like that that a normal candidate would do. And, you know, to Trump's discredit, when they did have debates and they were together, Trump simply wouldn't stop talking and let Biden prove to everybody his cognitive decline that was actually there. But on February 8th, I believe it was, the now-famous H.E.R. report came out dealing with some documents that was found to be in Biden's possession at a couple different locations. One was the Penn Center, which actually is called the Penn-Biden Center. It's located in Washington, D.C. It's affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania. It's some sort of think tank, some offices there that they have in Washington, D.C. And some of those documents were found there. Others were found at Biden's Delaware home. Those documents were found in his garage on the floor. I think we've all seen pictures. And, you know, in cabinets in different places and just stacked up boxes. Some of the boxes were not even in good shape. One of them was shown ripped and coming apart. But they were found there. And all that was curious because President Trump had just been charged in the Mar-a-Lago case, the one in Florida, I know he's charged with many, it's hard to keep up, with having the very same thing, having documents, classified documents of his own. Now, there is a big distinction there, and this really isn't the point of my episode today, but I want to make it. President Trump, of course, like I said, was president. They have certain authorities. There's nothing that a president, when it comes to classification, there's nothing that a president cannot see. He's at the top, the top of the steeple. So anything that's classified, he's allowed to read, to have in his possession. And, of course, there's a case about did he take these after he was president or did he retain them and not give them back, and a lot of nuances there, nuances, by the way, that have happened with almost every single president when it comes to classified documents. But where Biden kind of stands out is some of these documents were classified that he attained while he was a senator, a United States senator. The United States senator does not have security classification where he can just remove documents and keep them. Neither, in my opinion, or at least to my knowledge, does the vice president. He may be able to see them in some circumstances. I do not believe he is allowed to possess them, which Biden did. So we have a clear case of two different people. One being the competitor of Joe Biden in Biden's Justice Department charging this person with a willful retention of documents and showing these classified documents to people. And, you know, there's a whole list of charges. I'm not going to repeat them all. But then we have the actual president of the United States who's prosecuting or persecuting his opponent, having the exact same thing in a whole lot less secure area, I may add, as someone who wasn't allowed to have those documents. So they found those, and there was an investigation. A special counsel was appointed for the Joe Biden case, just like for the Trump case. And we got that report back on the Joe Biden case on, I believe it was February 8th, we received that report. Now there were a couple key takeaways from what I will call the HER report. HER, H-U-R, is the last name of the special prosecutor that was conducting the investigation. You'll hear on the news that he was a Donald Trump appointee, and he was. But I want to qualify that just a little bit and let you know how that process works. There's a lot of these attorneys, U.S. attorneys, that are appointed across the nation, and obviously the president who's president at the time gets to make those appointments. But usually, usually, those appointments follow the recommendation of the U.S. senators for each state. So in other words, in Virginia, you would have Kaine and Warner recommending someone to the president. Now the president does not have to follow their recommendations, but it is kind of an unwritten kind of protocol that they do so. They do not in all cases, but they generally do. In this particular case, HER was recommended for a U.S. attorney by the senators in Maryland, and I believe at the time both senators were Democrats. So most people, when they describe Robert HER, though he is listed as a Republican, really do not know his politics. Now the only reason I'm getting into that is because the fact that he's a Republican, though it was not pressed at the time, they wanted people to believe when he was appointed that Biden was going to get a fair and judicial look at the evidence. They didn't want people to, you know, they were kind of touting, look, we appointed a Republican, so we know when this comes back as a nothing burger, then it's going to prove to you that Biden really did nothing wrong. But now that it's come back a little different than they had planned, they're jumping all over the Republican part of it, and they're talking about, oh, well, you can't trust this because it's come from a Republican. But I just want to give you a little basis of how they're appointed. But he was appointed again as special prosecutor for this case by Merrick Garland. Now let me real quickly add, though, when he was appointed for U.S. attorney, it was a unanimous vote in the Senate, so there were no concerns brought forward about whether or not he would be partisan or unfair. So at the time, you know, the Senate being pretty much 50-50, all the Democrats voted in favor of him as a U.S. attorney as well. Now back to Merrick Garland. He actually appointed Robert Herr in January, January 12th of 2023, to be the special investigator for this incident with Biden, or special counsel, I think they actually call him. But that happened in 2023. So for the last year, just a tick more than a year, he's been compiling this information, and it included, obviously, an investigation of all the materials that were found, their classifications, how they related to Biden, and, you know, when he was vice president, when he wasn't, what he should have had, what he should not have had, had he shown it to anybody, had anyone else been involved, and just breaking it down based on the statutes of the law and his recommendations as to what should happen, whether he should be prosecuted, you know, just all the nuances of the case. He's required to do a report, and that report Merrick Garland made clear would be available to the public and to Congress once it was completed. Now he's obviously made that report available. Before I get into that report, let me just mention what Trump was charged with in the Mar-a-Lago case for the document case that, you know, we usually call it. And, you know, and I was reading in Reuters today, so this is where I pulled this out of. The most serious charge, there's 31 counts, of willful retention of documents that violate the Espionage Act, which criminalizes the unauthorized possession of national defense information. It's punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The World War I Error Law predates classification of documents, but makes it a crime to willfully retain national defense information that could be useful to foreign adversaries. So those are the most serious charges in the Mar-a-Lago case against Trump. So what did the Herr report find? Well, it found the exact same thing, that Joe Biden willfully retained information and documents that could be vital to the national interest. He willfully retained those top-secret classified documents himself. How do they know? Now, willful has to be a purpose. You have to decide. It's not that, you know, Joe Biden, when he got up there and spoke, one of the things he said was that his staff, they asked him, one of the reporters said, are you guilty of anything this report says you are? But do you feel responsible for anything you've done with these documents? And he said that he felt responsible that he did not watch more carefully what his staff carried to these locations. Well, there's a problem with that. I mentioned willful, right? Willful means you did it on purpose. You know that you have these and you know you shouldn't have these. So, you know, Joe Biden, for one, I mean, he was a senator, he was a vice president, you know, he knows for a fact, obviously he's president now, he's been well taught, well taught, the rules for classifications of documents. And, you know, as I mentioned, he wasn't allowed to have any of these at his home anyway. So, did he know they were there? Well, they proved that he knew. And you're not going to see this on the nightly news or CNN or NBC or CBS. How did they know? Well, they were in a box and they showed a really cool picture. Like I said, you're going to have to dig on this to see it. But those documents were inside of a box, an open box, with a lot of other documents all around them. A lot of other personal documents. Documents relating to Biden's finance, his insurance, payments for, you know, different odd, different things like that. And they can show, and they did show in this picture, they showed, you know, they circled where they were in the box. He had to get in there next to all those top secret, clearly marked documents to move these papers in and out, his personal papers, that he had accessed in the last few years. He had accessed, since these documents were brought over to his home, he had accessed those, so he had seen those documents. They also showed that he had shared some of these documents with a ghostwriter. Biden's writing a book, and I guess a ghostwriter is someone that actually writes the book for you, but you get to put your name on it. Can anybody imagine that Joe Biden could sit down and write a book? I don't think so. But he had shared some of those documents with this person. So now we have willful retention, and we also have an attempt or an actual, he actually shared them with, you know, classified documents with someone else. And they have him either, it's either on the, I think it's an email or something, or a text saying, be careful, some of these may be classified. And the guy's like, oh, I will. And just to further that, when this investigation started, this ghostwriter, he deleted what he had in the middle of this investigation. Now that sounds, that reminds me of someone else. We all remember in 2016 when Trump was running for president the first time, when they found that Hillary Clinton had on her own personal server illegally been sending classified emails and then deleted, purposefully deleted these. Some of them were beat with hammers, some of them were done by some program called Bleach Bit. And we all heard about that and come and come forward, kind of like the H.E.A.R. report, and said, you know, well, you know, even though A, B, C, D, E, and G, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are considered a, you know, a violation of the law, no reasonable prosecutor would take this case. Unless you're Trump, of course, right? Unless you're Trump, of course. So, very similar things. So they showed that he willfully retained these and in this report, this H.E.A.R. report, it showed that he shared these documents with someone who did not have any right to see classified documents. Any right. They also show, in this report, that Biden, often against the law, would go into meetings with his own personal notebooks and he would write notes from classified meetings and from classified documents in his own personal notebooks. Now listen, if you take a piece of classified material and you read it and you write down what it says on your own notebook, your notebook now becomes classified. It doesn't become unclassified unless you're the President of the United States and you determine that it's not classified any longer. A President can do that. A Senator, a Vice President, he has no authority like that. And he is not allowed to write that down on a piece of paper and bring it out with him. They found notebooks full of that stuff and they have pictures of him actually writing in those notebooks. They have pictures of him actually putting the notebooks in his personal satchel or backpack or whatever you want to call it during and after meetings. It's amazing what they pulled up, what they're capable of finding. But they found them. So in this report, as you go through it, it clearly, it makes it clear that Biden violated the law. They caught him. He did it purposefully and they could prosecute him. But probably the biggest kicker, the biggest kicker from this report, and I don't understand, I mean, I understand what he's saying. I just cannot believe that they would decide not to criminally charge the President of the United States. And I know he can't be prosecuted while he's President. He certainly can be prosecuted after. But I can't believe he does not recommend charges based on this. But basically, here is what he said. And this is a quote from the H.E.R. report. Mr. Biden's memory was significantly limited in interviews with the Special Counsel's Office as well as with the ghost writer that Biden worked with. In his interview with the Special Counsel's Office, H.E.R. writes, Biden twice appeared confused about when his term as Vice President ended. The report notes that Biden, who speaks frequently about his son Beau Biden's death, could not remember even within several years when he died. As his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him, the report said. Among other things, he mistakenly said he had a real difference of opinion with General Carl Ikenberry when, in fact, Ikenberry was an ally whom Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama. Now what the Special Counsel, H.E.R., is doing as he's talking about these memory issues, he's building a case in this document why he's not going to recommend for Biden to be prosecuted. The gist of the reason why he's recommending that Biden not be prosecuted is not because he's not guilty. And it is not because he doesn't have the significant proof to prove. He actually has every bit of proof, and maybe even more, but every bit of proof that they have on the Mar-a-Lago case against Trump. He has the same thing. He has the same information that they had against Bill Clinton many years ago. Bill Clinton actually carried out documents in his socks to get him out. He carried them out in his socks. They also found Obama to have documents like these. They found that Pence had documents. This is not an unusual occurrence. What is unusual about what's happening is the prosecution of Trump. And it makes it doubly just significant that this prosecution of Trump is happening from Biden's Justice Department. And this same Justice Department will not prosecute him for the same acts. Now you can make a case, and we can argue all day long, whether it's a big deal that they have these documents. I will say this first. It is not a big deal for me, for a president or former president, to have these documents. Why? We have already, as a nation, entrusted them to have the highest, the highest, of top secret clearance. They have already seen these documents. Them seeing or retaining these documents, other than the concern that someone else might find them, it means nothing to me. If they have it in a locked room and secured, I don't care. Now, if you have someone who is not president, who we have not entrusted to have these documents, who never had the legal authority to bring them home and put them in his garage, then I say we've got a problem. Am I going to lose sleep over it? No, I'm not. Are the majority of people going to lose sleep over it? They're not. But the fact is this. They've used it as a sledgehammer to try to go after their opponent in an election. It is now so crystal clear. So crystal clear. There's no way someone can say at this point, hey, there's not a two-tier justice system. I mean, we have two exact things where one legally could have these documents, one legally could not. They were both found to have them. We're prosecuting the one who had the clearance and not the one who did not. Why? Because he's the president of the United States and because the Democrats control the Justice Department. That's why. Now, getting back to what I was talking about, that last little piece I read about Biden's memory, that was from AP News who they quoted in the report. But, you know, just to go further, you're starting to hear now there's a full court press and they're changing the actual facts of what the reports say and they're saying that they found Biden to have not broken the law. Well, that's not true. That's not true. And as they originally, believe it or not, when this report originally came out, they reported on it fairly accurately, surprisingly so, the press reported on it fairly accurately. They've circled the wagons now and they've started to try to tear the report apart because of how bad that it looked for Biden. But let me just say, this is from a CNN report online on the actual report and, you know, they're not going to help the Republican cause. But here's what they said. The special counsel report found that Biden willfully retained classified information including top secret documents and knew he was in possession of some of the documents as far back as 2017. He also shared some of that information with the ghostwriter of his 2017 memoir. So, you know, you've heard it from a couple of sources that are not favorable to Trump and are certainly favorable to Biden. It's there. Now, why? What is the excuse? What is the reason that Robert Hurd did not recommend filing charges on Joe Biden? I mentioned that he was building the case. You know, he was talking about his memory lapses. He was building a case to not recommend charges. And here's what the report said, the reason they didn't recommend those charges. Continuing with CNN's write-up of this report. Why am I choosing CNN? Not because I like CNN. If I read it through Fox, you know, even though it was the exact language or what was said, people would assume it was skewed. But we kind of know as conservatives that CNN, if they tell it and it's bad, it's probably worse than it is. And they're not going to be accused of leaving out anything favorable to Biden. So that's why I read CNN. And they go on to say, yet in a politically damaging line of reasoning, Hurd wrote that one reason Biden wasn't going to be prosecuted was because he would present to a jury as an elderly man with, quote, with a poor memory. So in other words, what he's saying is this, if we charge this guy and it goes to court, it's going to become evident to any jury if we try to ask him questions and we try to go through this, that this guy is shot. He cannot remember, and hey, I don't remember, I'm not a dates guy. So if someone asks me for a specific date on something, even though that may be a critically important thing to me, I have to be honest and say, I am not a dates guy. But they covered a lot more information. What I am, usually when someone's not a, you know, my wife can remember the phone number of every restaurant that we ever order anything from, I just got to ask her, and she remembers it. She doesn't have to look it up. Me, forget that. There's no way. Some people have that kind of memory. I don't. But most people can remember details of things that are really important to them. Even if they can't remember a date, they can remember the time of year. They can remember, you know, talking about that Afghanistan issue. If something was really important that you debated politically, which was supposed to be just super important to him at the time, you're going to remember who you debated with and who thought this and who thought that if your mind is clear. Okay. Biden's mind is clearly, clearly not clear. He's struggling. He's struggling immensely. And I think this report just defined that. Now, they're going crazy about this. He said out loud what everyone knows, what everyone has seen with their own eyes. If you have had an elderly parent go through these stages, you've watched all this happen. It's tragic to watch it. I just lost my mother back in December. And I watched this progression for many years. And I had to, you know, I'm saying this, it almost makes me want to cry. You know, I know a lot of you have experienced this exactly. And it's one of the hardest things, I think, in life to watch your parents deteriorate like this. And it's hard enough to watch them deteriorate physically. And that's a part of life that we're all going to go through. But sometimes there's also a mental deterioration. You know, there's dementia. And there's Alzheimer's. And we watch these things happen. And I watched them happen. And it's a, sometimes it's a real slow progression. There's different speeds of it. Sometimes it's got a middle range. Sometimes it's super fast. I'm thankful that it was super fast at the end. And my mom did not suffer very long at all. I'm very thankful to God for that. But I had to go through that process step by step. Both myself and my two sisters did. You know, and it started with, you know, worried about her driving. And I remember the day that I had to take her keys. And she was very angry with me. And as a child, I had to kind of become the parent. And I had to say, you know, Mom, you're going to hurt yourself. Oh, no, I'm not. Well, what if you hurt somebody else? And, you know, that was a tough time. And it was something that she was mad about me for a long, I don't know if she ever got completely over that. And that was sad. That was a tough thing to see. We had to take over her bank account and start paying her bills because she'd become overwhelmed by the details of bills that were coming in and checks and balances. It just overwhelmed her. My mom was excellent at keeping books. She used to do people's taxes and manage an office. And took care of the deposits and all those kind of things. She was great at those things. So, it's a very strange thing to see her not be able to keep her own checkbook up. That was tough. And then we started worrying about, you know, was she eating good? And we were bringing in food and just hawking over and making, what did you eat for breakfast? You know, it all progressed to the point I was staying there every day. I mean, it progressed. We've watched those things happen. It's a sad thing. But we've watched this happen in real time with the President of the United States. We've watched it happen. And everyone around him knows that it's happened. We've watched it in the way he walks. When I see him walk, it's just like my mother. The gait changes and you're unsteady and your legs don't flow, your mind's not flowing your muscle movements through normally. We're seeing that with Biden. Just like I saw with my mom and like many of you saw with your own moms and dads. A sad process. We're just watching it with the President of the United States. He's not able to even conduct a softball Super Bowl interview. I mean, they weren't going to ask him about war and peace. They were going to ask him about his favorite ice cream or something dumb like that. They weren't going to talk to him about anything significant. The press does not do that. But he wouldn't do it because his people around him knew what a disaster millions of people watching that at once could be to his election campaign. They made a political decision. They're making a political decision to run someone that they know is not capable basically of rubbing two sticks together when it comes to running the country. And they're going to run it for him. And that's what they're really doing. They're running the country for him and they like that much better than Joe Biden running the country. Because, I mean, let's be honest, for someone who, Secretary Gates, who was a defense secretary at one time, a Democrat, said that he had been, this is when his mind was sound. He'd been wrong on every single major matter when it comes to international or foreign affairs. Every single matter he'd been wrong about in his life. And that was when his mind was sound. Now that unsound mind is running the, you know, the executive branch of the United States and is president of the free world, the commander-in-chief of our military and the leader of the Western free world. That's scary. Very scary. You know, in the 2016 campaign, they hid Biden in the basement. That's what everybody says. He did some events, a few more events. You ought to look at him just from a couple years ago and some of the speeches and things that he said then and compare him to now and see how it has sped up. I mean, I'm quite sure that the weight of the presidency has certainly made things tougher, has certainly sped up his decline. I mean, I can imagine the pressure of that job. But, you know, Biden at this point, he goes days without any significant activity as president. He doesn't have one meeting in a day. And it'll be a lunch meeting with somebody. If you look at the schedules of Donald Trump or Barack Obama, their schedules were packed. It was bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. One meeting after another. You know, from a cabinet meeting to a meeting with a certain secretary to travel to meet with somebody here to a phone call with this leader. I mean, it was constant all day long. They worked under different hours during the day, sometimes one like evening, sometimes one like morning. But their day was packed, not Biden's. And those schedules are given each day to the press so they know what he's doing, so they can be prepared for whatever. And the schedules, you know, he's got a lid on the day after nine o'clock sometimes, not in the morning. I mean, he is not functioning as the president of the United States. He's not doing it. Now, this particular episode is not going to be a very long one. I just think it's important that we kind of go through this as we're looking at these trials. You know, and I talked about the E. Jean Carroll case before. And I'd like to just kind of give you some idea. You know, we hear so much in the news and you only catch little tidbits of it, I know, sometimes, and you have trouble forming and understanding how you actually feel, forming a strong opinion on it, wondering what's going on. But I learn a lot from liberals. Especially, I mean, I read a lot of these AP reports and Reuters reports and CNE. I read everything. I really do. And I learn a lot from what they say and what they don't say. The things that they worry about are often pretty clear with the things that they leave out. But every now and then, you get some good stuff that they'll actually open up the curtain and you'll see behind it. But AP wrote a piece on February 9th right after this come out, and it was called Takeaways from the Special Counsel's Report on Biden's Handling of the Classified Documents. And they're almost worrying out loud in this particular piece. And I wanted to bounce through a few of the bullet points on this piece and I'm going to leave you with that. And just to talk about it just a little bit so you can, you know, and I'll kind of show you where I agree and where I disagree on, but they made some points and I'll just go through. The first point that they made, it's bad news for Biden's anti-chaos argument. If you remember, you know, one of the reasons that people said that they voted for Biden was, you know, so things could get back to normal. The Trump presidency was chaotic. And of course, we all know it was chaotic because of all the things that the Democrats and the press did to try to basically run a coup against him for four years. I mean, he was impeached twice. They, all the Russia, Russia, Russia, Russiagate garbage, but they created the chaos and then they blamed the chaos on the person that they created the chaos on. It's pretty good, pretty good plan, I guess. But let me read you what they say here. Biden can breathe easier knowing he won't face criminal charges for his handling of the documents. But the H.E.R. report nonetheless does damage to Biden's case that he brings normalcy to the presidency after the chaos of Trump's tenure. Images of federal agents finding a classified Biden memo on Afghanistan from his time as vice president stashed in his Delaware garage works against the Democratic president's argument that he is a more competent chief executive and a more careful steward of the nation's secrets than Trump. Trump is under criminal indictment for knowingly hanging on to classified records of his moral argo estate in Florida and resisting turning them over, perhaps the most damning and stickiest of the four criminal cases against him. Biden, for his part, faces no charges. They admitted that out loud. Did you see that? Anyway, weeks after the FBI searched Trump's private residence and turned up classified documents, Biden slammed his predecessor as totally, quote, totally irresponsible. As Biden ramps up his 2024 election campaign in his case against Trump, he's not likely to try that argument again. So, you know, the whole chaos thing, we found out that, isn't it funny, the boomerang effect that things happen. I've watched that in the city. In my own case, I watched how they said, you know, when I was running for mayor, how they talked about, oh, the city's in terrible shape, what we're going under, and, you know, they've used some reserves and things are just awful. None of it was true. But I have watched that boomerang come back around and hit people right in the mouth. It's kind of amazing. And I didn't have anything to do with it. It just happened. Their own incompetence, I guess, actually come back to haunt them. But it's kind of cool how that's come back on Biden. But, hey, that's a pretty good point that AP's making there. Here's her next one. Biden's hazy memory raises new questions about age. The 81-year-old Biden was already dogged by questions about whether he's too old to serve a second term. The special counsel's report will hardly be helpful to Biden on that count. Her noted that Mr. Biden's memory was significantly limited in interviews with the special counsel's office as well as the ghostwriter that Biden worked with. And I've covered a lot of this stuff. So, you know, it goes on to talk about all the lapses that I've talked about before about his memory and how they were hazy. So let's go on to their third point. Trump gets ammo to play down his own documents case. Duh! It says here, Biden was absolved of criminal behavior but it's Trump who may benefit. The Republican former president who is on a glide path to his party's nomination this year has been charged with dozens of felony counts related to his handling of the classified materials stored at his Florida estate after leaving the White House. Trump has been crying foul on the campaign trail for much of the last year noting that Biden had also stored classified materials in his garage. Thursday's report will have little bearing on Trump's legal case but it makes his political argument stronger. No, I did an episode on how to rig an election and you ought to go back and check that out. I think it's pretty good. And I hear Trump all the time talk about that he goes way too far with it. He talks about it all the time and he talks about it too much. But one thing he's talked about and he's beat in is the fact that we have a two-tiered system of justice. And he's only being prosecuted because he's running for president because they think he's going to win. And you know, I kind of agreed with that. Now I emphatically agree with it. It's clear. After this report comes out, the Robert Herb report on Biden and it's clear that he's violated the law exactly the way Trump has if, you know, at least as far as retaining the willful retention of documents. It's pretty clear the purpose behind Trump's prosecution. It's so Biden can win the presidency for the second term. It's clear. I mean, there's no doubt about it. There's no way to hide it now. You are not prosecuting someone who's clearly guilty and you are prosecuting somebody who is sketchy whether or not he's actually guilty who does fall under the Presidential Records Act and some other things that Biden did not qualify for when he retained willfully retained and legally retained and shared these documents. So yeah, AP, it does make Trump's case a lot stronger. The next point that AP makes is this report stirs memories of the 2016 probe of Hillary Clinton. If you remember that was when she was found to have had all these classified documents and James Comey, the FBI director come out and said oh well, you know, I found all these specific things and yeah, it's illegal but we're not going to prosecute. And a lot of people blamed that for Hillary Clinton's loss. Well, it was true. She had violated the law. The only thing that was not done properly she wasn't charged. Just like in this case as AP's pointing out this comes out on the eve of an election and it may have an effect on the election. So it's a bad deal for Biden. Sure is. What's the worst deal for America is the fact that it's a two-tiered justice system. So that's not exact. I'm not real concerned about Hillary Clinton or Biden. They violated the law. They didn't get prosecuted. They were one of the elites that got to break the law. They weren't the Democrat. They were the Democrat and Trump wasn't the Democrat. So they didn't get prosecuted. All right. Here's another one they point out and I mentioned this. Biden thought personal notebooks were his property. During his interview with special counsel investigators Biden was emphatic that his notebooks were my property. Every president before me has done the exact same thing, he said. The statement had echoes of former President Donald Trump who had been charged with illegally possessing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he left office. Under the Presidential Records Act which is not, which is civil, not criminal, I have every right to have these documents Trump has said. Sounds similar but there are some differences. Trump was arguing that the large swath of presidential records were his personal property. Biden was making a specific claim about personal writings for which there is a legal precedent. Investigators said that Biden mentioned the former president Ronald Reagan had kept diaries in his home and that contemporaneous evidence from the investigators suggests that Biden believed he could keep the notebooks at home. That's true. Reagan left the White House in 1989 with 8 years worth of handwritten diaries. Though they contained top secret information, investigators said those documents came up during criminal litigation in the late 1980s and were referred to by the Justice Department as personal records. Now, what this points out to me and I'm probably going a different direction than what they were going, you know, and I mentioned that Biden had written this top secret stuff in his diaries, what it does show is that every president has done similar things. Biden, of course, when he did it was not president. President Reagan was president of the United States when he wrote this information in his personal diaries. Trump was president of the United States when these boxes were transferred to Mar-a-Lago. Biden was not president. He was vice president and he was senator when he got some of these documents, information he was not allowed to have. So, all it does is it brings up situations where Biden, you know, it just makes everything equal. It makes the playing field equal with the exception only one person got charged. Alright, here's another point from the AP. Report takes shots at Biden's memory and his mental capacity. The special counsel's report takes what seems at times a gratuitous aim. They call it gratuitous. I think it's factual. Gratuitous aim at Biden's memory and mental capacity as it lays out the ways in which the president could mount a hypothetical defense had he been charged with a crime. It reports, quote, we have also considered that at trial Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury as he did during our interview of him as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. So again, it points out this document, it hammers the fact that he just simply does not have the mental capacity to handle the job. And that's where they leave it off. So it, you know, it covers a lot of ground. This report, I believe with all my heart, this report that just came out is Biden's doom. I do not believe Biden is going to be running for president of the United States come next November. I don't believe he is. You say it's too late. He can't quit. Yes, he can. Actually, Lyndon B. Johnson made a decision in March I think it was March 31st but it was definitely March of the election year not to run. Not to run for president. And they found someone else that went through the primaries. I believe that was the same year that Bobby Kennedy was killed that he was running. He was killed in California after winning the California primary. So all that happened and they still were able to pick a candidate. And I believe that candidate was VP at the time Hubert Humphrey who was Lyndon Johnson's VP. So you had the president drop out Lyndon B. Johnson drop out in March. You had the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination Robert Kennedy Bobby Kennedy assassinated in June. And then they were still able to pick a candidate to run Hubert Humphrey who by the way lost to Richard Nixon. But they were able to get a nominee. So the idea that Biden is going to be the nominee in my mind has disappeared. I hope he is. And I hope if they don't pick him I hope Kamala Harris is next because I think she's equally unpopular. You know I'm obviously pulling for Trump. I'm not voting for the Democrats here. But you know so the idea that Biden is going to run I think this is the death knell. I don't believe he can run. He physically is not able. He can't endure the rigors of a campaign. He's obviously not going to debate Trump. He's not going to do the kind of interviews that you need to do when you're running for office like this. He's going to try to skate through and I believe Trump is going to beat him. If he does decide to run I also believe this report is the death knell to his chances of victory. And I think everyone knows that. I think you're going to see Biden get inched out by someone else. You'll see Biden come to the podium and have a reason why he's stepping aside. It's going to happen I believe. And we'll find someone else. There's a lot of rumors Michelle Obama Gavin Newsom some others Whitmer from Michigan I don't know. I guess it's irrelevant at this point until it shakes out and we find out who. I'm just personally in my mind I believe it's not going to be Biden. Okay. I went through the report pretty good. It's about 388 pages. It's a lot to read but you can find it online. You can read it for some light reading over the weekend if you'd like to. If you enjoy that kind of thing. If you're a nerd like me. But I encourage you to check it out. But hey I encourage you most of all to always refer back to God's Word and I'm going to end this podcast with the theme verse that I always do here on the One More Round podcast. And that is found in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verses 13 and 14. God's Word says this. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing whether it be good or whether it be evil. Hey we've covered some ground here on the latest movements in the political universe. And that's the Robert Hur report on Joe Biden. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you learned a little bit from it. But as always I'm thankful to have you in the ring with me. I hope God richly blesses you and your family. And I hope you have a wonderful weekend. See you soon here on the One More Round podcast. Thanks for joining.
