Biden Not Qualified - February 12th, Hour 1
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and happy Monday.
Yeah, if there's such a thing.
Anyway, glad you're with us.
Here's our toll-free number.
It is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, Americans now look at these numbers.
Latest ABC poll, 86% of the American people think that Joe Biden is too old to serve another term.
Linda, it's only taken people four years to catch up to the show.
We've been telling you that from the beginning.
And here's the kicker.
If you go back to the tapes I was playing four years ago, they're not they're not even as remotely bad as Joe Biden is today.
I mean, we now have a list of all the dead people that Joe Biden claims to have spoken to, you know, an Amtrak conductor, uh, Margaret Thatcher, uh, a Congresswoman, uh, Francois Mitterron, uh, Helmut Cole, and and everybody in between, and two of them came out last week.
But I mean, it's the American people, the act I mean, people see it for what it is.
He is too old to serve another term.
He's not fit for office right now.
And anyway, a large difference between how Democrats and Republicans view their respective nominees.
Um, and anyway, it's uh it's gonna be interesting to watch how this unfolds.
I there's nobody that can make any prediction with any sense of pinpoint accuracy whether or not Joe Biden makes it to November this year without the Democratic Party stepping in and trying to replace him.
I can see that scenario unfold.
I'll give you more reasons why as the show unfolds here today.
You have now Joe Biden's political allies.
They're now, quote, frantic because of the special prosecutor, Robert, we call him Ben Hur, Robert Hurris' conclusion that the president's too senile to put him on trial, to put on trial.
I mean, that is insane.
Democrats flight it flooding the White House with advice on how to make Biden look more youthful.
What do you mean?
There's nothing you can do at this point.
He's not had a clean event in months.
And by clean, I define that as without verbal gaffs, without memory lapses, without stammer stammering, stumbling, mumbling, bumbling, without not knowing whether to exit stage left or exit stage right.
He needs a complete makeover to overcome this damning special counsel's report.
And I know they can bring in all the people they want and all the doctors and all the medicines they want.
They can't get away from the pure science of cognitive decline.
And we'll get into this with Dr. Ronnie Jackson today, which is simply that it is degenerative.
What does that mean?
That means it never gets better.
It only gets worse.
Comparing Joe Biden as we did Friday on TV between 2020, Joe Biden and Joe Biden today, it is startling.
Uh I love these people saying, yeah, Joe needs to get out there a lot more.
Okay, you did a you had a hastily planned news conference the day that Hur's report came out, and Joe Biden comes out furious and angry and mad, and he has two more gaffes in just the shortest press conference, which what I think lasted three questions.
So they can flood the White House with all the tips they want, but I think probably the best advice came from Van Jones, and his advice was Joe Biden should hide and let other people do the campaigning for him.
If I were to speak spot, I would I would stay hidden, and I'll tell you why.
Um he doesn't inspire confidence.
And he's not a great messenger for himself.
He's not.
I mean, for James Carvel to come out this weekend and say it's a bad sign that Joe Biden can't do a Super Bowl interview that his the people around him don't trust him enough to get through it.
I mean, a Super Bowl interview, yeah, there's there's some questions about policy, about the election, all that would be par for the course.
I I did a Super Bowl interview or pre-Super Bowl interview with Donald Trump.
It's meant to be a little bit more lighthearted, less serious, a little bit more fun, focus a little bit more on the game, and and then you go on for a little bit longer and you air that the next night.
That's how it usually works.
I mean, Obama sat with O'Reilly, I think twice for Super Bowl interviews.
But if 86% of the American people think you're too old to serve another term.
That's probably a good indication that you're too old to serve another term, considering how divided the country is.
And I don't care what advice that Joe Biden's getting from all these Democrats that are flooding the White House with tips on how to make the president look younger.
I don't think it's going to help him.
You have the White House lawyer.
This was an interesting moment.
Judging from the comments of Biden's lawyer, a guy by the name of Bob Bauer over the weekend.
And I've been saying Republicans, they need to now, if if they're disputing what it is that Robert Hurr is saying in his report that Joe Biden didn't remember the years he was vice president when he got out of that office and couldn't remember within a number of years the date that his son died, on top of everything else that we witnessed only in the last week, week and a half, and you put it all together, you're not looking at somebody's fit to take on the toughest job in the world, which is to be president.
So if Republicans want to see for themselves whether or not Biden's brain actually turned into mush during this interview with Robert Hur, I that they would they should be subpoena.
They should send out subpoenas for the transcripts and the video.
Bob Bauer lashed out at the special counsel at what he believes to be misstatements of facts, totally inappropriate, pejorative comments that are unfounded.
This is a report that went off the rails.
He and pretty much every other Democrat saying that, in which he took repeated shots at the president's memory.
It's a shabby work product.
Is it?
Because if he can't remember the years he's vice president, on top of all the tape that we have, um, then that means he's not qualified for the toughest job in the world.
So anyway, this is a report he's saying, and he goes on and on and on to talk about it.
Uh, but when pressed by Margaret Brennan at CBS, if he supports releasing the transcripts from the two-day interview, forget the transcript.
I want to see the video tape.
Well, then the president's attorney begins to waffle.
Well, I'm I'm I'm going here on my recollections, but yes, there are transcripts.
There are discussions underway about releasing them because it's a classified document about what could or or whether we'll be uh in it when released.
I I can't add anything to that today.
Do you favor releasing them?
Well, it's really a decision that has to take place within the government.
It's classified.
You're the president's counsel.
Would you recommend that these be made public if they indeed back up your personal account?
Again, there's a process underway.
I'm not here to sp uh a specialist in that process.
And so I really have to defer to those that you know have to work through these issues.
That means no, they don't want it out.
Because he knows damn well that he's covering for Joe Biden, just like pretty much everyone else around him.
Also didn't look good that you're stumbling, bumbling, mumbling president that has no idea to exit stage left or right, appeared to bump his head while exiting Marine One after flying back to DC from Delaware yesterday.
Biden walking with the first lady, didn't appear to react after bumping his head on the top frame of Marine One's exit.
What have I been saying?
This guy is one fall away, and he really shuffles now.
His shuffling has gotten worse.
He's one fall away, and they will have no choice but to remove him from the ticket.
And I know that's creating some anxiety among many of you and and many people in the Republican circles, conservative circles.
Uh yeah, I mean, there's a certain degree of that there is uncertainty going into this election year.
Is Biden gonna be on the ticket?
I can't say with any high degree of confidence at this point.
And I think last week was probably the worst week of Biden's presidency, and I don't see it getting any better, because I don't think he's better cognitively, and I don't see any I'm not talking I've not spoken with any doctor that thinks he can improve cognitively.
It doesn't matter whether they give him medicine or treatment or how much they cover for him, which means probably Van Jones gave the best advice.
Now you got Van Jones, you got David Axelod, you got James Carvel, you got Paul Bagala now adding the list, Maureen Dowd with another column this weekend, addressing specifically the age issue.
These are very prominent Democratic voices.
They're listened to within Democratic circles.
Now, do I think behind closed doors that there's a lot of uh chatter going on and a lot of plotting and planning going on?
Yeah, of course I do.
Now, Joe Biden did launch his Social media presidential campaign.
Where did he launch it?
He launched it on TikTok.
Linda, I know you're you're up in arms about TikTok.
We're not on TikTok, are we?
I don't think so.
Uh, we call it the uh arm of the C C P here at the Hannity Show.
We don't call it TikTok.
Okay, so he gets on TikTok to launch his media presidential campaign less than a year after the same White House banned TikTok for use by federal employees.
You can't make that up either.
And then the New York Times is now suggesting that Biden must do better to reassure voters that he's not too old.
Tell me how do you make that happen if he's not capable of it?
This is what they all seem to be missing.
Are you just assuming that he could just pay a little bit more attention to the things that he's saying and now he's gonna come off as as with it and articulate?
That's not gonna happen.
If you just listen to when he couldn't remember the opposition, as he called it, meaning Hamas and the October 7th terrorist attacks.
That was all last week, on top of talking to two dead people, Francois Mitterron and Helmut Cole.
But the New York Times is saying a remote broad swath of the American public, both Biden's supporters and detractors express increasing doubts about his ability to serve for another five years because of his age.
But the release of the Her report on Thursday and his assessment that the president presents himself as a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory is is gonna trust test the trust of the American people.
I mean, they can come out with all the assurances that they want.
He he has this hastily run news conference, and his assurances didn't work.
And the idea that they're trying to get him out more, you know, to see for the American people to see him is a disaster of an idea.
Now, even before Robert Her released his findings that Joe is pretty much too senile to prosecute, it looks like Kamala Harris was already measuring the drapes in the old Oval Office, and she was detailing her priorities for the campaign during a flight on Air Force Two early last week.
Asked about the delicate question hanging over the Democratic ticket.
Voters' concerns about the president's age.
Does that mean she must convince them that she's ready to serve?
She goes, I'm ready to serve.
Oh, that convinces me.
She has a lower approval rating than Biden at twenty-eight percent.
And that just came out last week.
One interesting side note is Tony Bobolinsky, the guy that revealed who the big guy was, is going to testify behind closed doors tomorrow and give his deposition before the House Oversight Committee.
Well, watch that very closely.
He was a business partner of Hunter and and Joe's brother James in their last tumultuous Chinese deal that began while Biden was vice president in 2015 and ended in in 2017.
And along the way, Hunter and his associates took in some whopping 9 million, it's estimated from CEFC, the Chinese energy company.
And again, like Baris may have no experience in energy, oil, gas, in this case, China, like he had no experience with Ukraine.
But anyway, Bobelinski will be able to point to an as of yet undisclosed letter from Hunter to a CEFC top official in March of 2016 that proves they were working with the CEFC using the Biden name to further the aims of of China's, you know, imperialist belt and road initiative, if you will.
And in last year's uh in the last year of Joe Biden's vice presidency, deliberately, you know, held off being paid until Joe left office.
I'm sitting here with my father.
One other unexpected, I guess, bit of fallout from this Robert Herr investigation is they did uncover a potential impeachment evidence against Joe Biden.
This reported by John Solomon, just the news.com, because several of the memos found in Biden's possession prompted questions from Congress about why Biden retained documents related specifically to countries where his son was conducting his foreign business dealings.
Now we learned Friday that the Justice Department has got to provide Congress with access to Joe's stash classified documents to determine if they were used to help the Biden's influence peddling schemes.
You know, for example, he asked for a transcript of the phone call with the former Ukrainian president, Pereschenko.
And it reportedly was about Victor Shokin, who is the prosecutor that was investigating Barisma and his son Hunter.
And about, you know, about firing the guy.
Well, he why did he specifically ask for a transcript of that, and I believe a tape as well.
Now that the investigation's over, the special counsel's report that he kept the classified materials involving interestingly Ukraine and China.
That's the two countries where Biden's made millions and millions of dollars.
I'd like to find out what was in all of that.
They're the most transparent administration.
I don't think it's going to be hard for them to get it.
All right, as we roll along, 800, 941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh so we just got a lot of news here.
I mean, it's very interesting to watch how the media is now covering this, and and we'll play a montage of this later in the program today, because they'll they'll go to any length to defend the indefensible.
I mean, uh even talking to dead people.
Remember where is Congresswoman Jackie Wilarski or Margaret Thatcher or the inventor of insulin, or the guy that, you know, oh the conductor of of an Amtrak train, or Francois Mitterron, or Helm McCole.
I mean, at some point do you say, yeah, maybe this guy's not ready.
New York Post had a pretty devastating editorial today.
It's is it's time for senior Democrats to face facts.
Joe Biden can't possibly serve another four years as president, and hopefully challenger Dean Phillips shouldn't be the only one doing something about it.
But they go on.
Democrats know he's teetering on the edge of full blown senility.
This is what they write.
They need a better option, and it's not V VP Kamala Harris.
Her communication problems are as bad as Biden's, and voters like her less.
So big names like Gretchen Whitmer, she's rushing out a book, interestingly, and Gavin Newsom come up.
And then there's Michelle Obama's name.
Listen to this show one time.
And you're hanitized.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, toll-free number, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.

Just go to my pillow.com, click on the Sean Hannity Square, or call 800-919-6090, and simply mention my name.
Uh all right, Linda, I gotta ask.
Uh did you make what air fried chicken wings this weekend?
Did you make air fried French fries this weekend?
I mean, how bad was the Super Bowl food food at your house?
Actually, it was pretty good.
I made pot stickers in the oven.
I baked them.
I made spring rolls in the oven.
I baked them.
I made pizza rolls in the oven.
I baked them.
Nothing was fried.
Um, but the kids loved them.
They loved them.
I mean the French fries and the air fryer.
You know.
Okay, but they they they in the case of your son in particular, Liam, the youngest.
Okay, in his case in particular, because he doesn't know any better.
Once I introduced him to McDonald's French fries, and he was on the show, and I asked him, what do you prefer, McDonald's or your mom's air fried French fries?
You were very confident that he was gonna say, Well, I prefer my mom's French fries, of course.
And he said McDonald's.
That was the end of the street.
So he just said that to humor you, you know.
He was then surrounded.
Yes.
He's now eight.
So at seven years old, he made a conscious decision to humor his uncle.
I think that he works in politics already.
He knows when to parse his words and to say, absolutely, Uncle Sean, you are right.
McDonald's, the coronary fry of America is my absolute favorite.
Yes.
I think it's a good idea.
You're describing a very, very intelligent and sophisticated seven-year-old kid at the time.
I mean listen, my kids are not on TikTok and they don't have their devices until the weekend.
So they actually use their brains to like, you know, be creative and think independently.
It's a wonderful thing.
I didn't insinuate that you did.
Of course not.
You know, however, a happy meal is called the happy meal because it makes kids happy.
And to deny your son an opportunity to be happy with all the other children, I think is a little extreme.
Listen, it's a happy meal for about 10 minutes, followed by an afternoon of a stomach ache, an evening in the bathroom in the following day of hmm.
I should have listened to my mother.
That's what happens when you eat McDonald's.
I can talk to you about football because you don't really understand football.
Although I actually do understand football, and I did watch the game, and I cannot believe what I saw.
I mean, I was rooting for the 49ers, but you know, anyhow.
Well, what part?
Oh, you don't like the Taylor part.
Is that it?
I just don't care.
I don't care for Travis Kelsey.
I love Mahomes.
I think he's a sweetheart and a good guy.
But Travis Kelsey just kills it for me.
He he's absurd.
I mean, when he was yelling at the coach, I was like, What are you doing?
Yeah, it's he has no respect.
He has no self-respect, he has no respect for others.
He is just absurd.
He's absurd.
I don't think that was his best moment.
Um, however, it was a great game.
Now you understand what I mean by you know, take the ball at your own 25, march down the field, 75 yards, although there were timeouts available.
Uh cross the plane, kick the extra point, you win.
And I think you mean now I think the scariest part of that whole game, you know, is when you know they were able to block that field goal because then it ended up being 1919.
Otherwise it would have been 2019.
We never went on that time, but that didn't happen.
I say this respectfully, it was not a field goal.
Whatever.
The extra point, you know.
Extra point.
But you've got listen, and fair and fairness to you.
I know the field goes three points.
I know.
Okay.
In fairness to you, compared to your knowledge two years ago versus now, you have come a long way.
You've come a long way also with your shooting skills.
Umantis X and we're probably Mantis X, I got Berna.
I mean, I'm just like, you know, I'm trying to get better at all things.
I did like the Schwarzenegger ad where you know, the way he would say it or pronounce neighbor was pretty funny, and then bringing in Danny DeVito made it even funnier.
I didn't see that one.
Oh my gosh, it was great.
You gotta pull it off.
I believe.
What's yeah, it's State Farm.
I heard he was gonna be there.
Oh, I'm sorry, yeah, State Farm.
But I didn't, but I didn't see it.
I heard about it, I didn't see it.
Like a good neighbor.
It's sort of like, you know, it would be trying it would be like trying to get you say talk radio differently.
It would just would be impossible.
Um Uber Eats, I thought was interesting.
I th I actually the Ben Affleck Duncan Donuts had was amusing.
I think I saw part of that part of that.
What about the Christopher Walken one?
That was that was very good.
The Christopher Walken one was great.
I like that a lot.
I thought that very well.
Yeah, you didn't see that.
What were you doing?
I saw the game.
The old I saw one commercial last night.
Anthony and I saw the uh the RFK commercial, and we thought that was great.
And then this morning I see him apologizing for it.
I'm like, what are you apologizing for?
It was so ridiculous.
I'm like, I couldn't.
Well, it was a super pack.
And he's not allowed technically, well, officially, legally, to coordinate with super packs, so he can't have anything to do with that ad.
And I actually thought it was a clever ad.
I thought he too.
I did too.
Uh BMW, the Christopher Walken ad that that Jason's talking about.
Um, and it was funny.
It was a poke fun at you know, his famous and unique cadence, and and nobody can be him.
I mean, there's only one hand.
No, he's a super cool dude.
Look, It was a great game, and I I don't think you can ask for more.
I haven't seen the ratings yet.
If the ratings come in, I haven't seen the ratings either, but I have to say it was a nail biter.
I mean, we we all we all watched it.
We had other kids had their friends over, and even Liam stayed up till almost the end of the fourth quarter to watch it.
It was it was pretty ridiculous.
Oh, he left by the end of the official.
Well, I mean, he's eight.
It's bedtime he had school today.
You know, the game is late, you know, like you got fourth quarter, you're going in overtime.
You know, at some point you have to make a choice, you know.
Yeah.
Uh it was interesting.
Um anyway, eight hundred nine four one Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh we're gonna we'll show maybe a couple of these tonight and we'll pick the best one.
Uh I always find that the most interesting part.
I have a friend of mine that actually is in the music business, and he's won Grammys and I think he's won Academy Awards.
And it's he he played a part in I think like seven or eight of these ads, at least with the on the musical side of it, which I thought was pretty cool.
Um I thought it was really cool.
Uh all right, 800 941 Sean.
Now, to listen to Democrats telling Team Biden he has to be out in public more is probably the dumbest advice I've ever heard.
Jill Biden, you know, really showing anger, I mean, real anger over the narrative that's here.
Uh you know, Joe uh Jill Biden defending Joe and suggesting the special counsel tried to score political points using his son's uh his son Bo's death.
He wasn't trying to score political points here.
You know, I think he was making a point that, yeah, he willfully withheld this this you know, held back these these top secret classified documents, and that we found him not to be really mentally fit enough to prosecute, and that he'd be seen by the jury in a certain light as a very nice old man that you know can't remember anything.
The problem is he's not in any old job.
He's the president of the United States.
And you know, she can spare us the fake outrage over the damning special counsel report.
You know, at what at what point can we legitimately ask the question?
Why is his family either blind to it, which I guess is a possibility, maybe you don't want to see reality or truth because it's too hard to see, or complicit and and high and in hiding this from the American people.
American people have a right to know whether or not a president is cognitively up to the job.
And I think that's the reason why Biden's attorney is assisting the president doesn't have any, he has no memory problems as the her support uh her support.
Hers report.
See, I misspoke.
I'm getting it like Joe Biden.
The her the her report actually said what part of that is untrue.
Now we have the ability to find the truth.
And Republicans frankly need to subpoena not just the transcript.
I want to see the video tape of this.
The White House apparently now angry and lashing out at Merrick Garland.
How can they be lashing out at Merrick Garland?
It was Merrick Garland's DOJ that was on top of the rate at Mar-a-Lago.
I mean, yeah, deep state operatives, James Comey leading the way to get Hillary off the hook.
She had more top secret classified documents on her servers than anybody else.
She deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails.
We'd never heard of Bleach Pit before, at least I hadn't.
And then, of course, aids destroying devices with hammers and then removing sim cards.
It's insane.
But she gets, you know, a no reasonable prosecutor would would prosecute outcome.
Well, it's pretty much the same that happened to Joe Biden here.
Interesting that Maureen Dowd has weighed in, and she said Mr. President ditched the stealth about health.
And she talks about when her father was in West Virginia on police business.
A man approached him and demanded to know about rumors that FDR was crippled, and the man threatened to beat up my father or anyone that said FDR was in a wheelchair.
She said her dad, a DC police detective, served on FDR's protective detail.
I have a picture of my my father in a fedora guarding Roosevelt and and at a senator's baseball game with the president standing up with the help of his braces to throw out the first pitch.
But the media was very different then.
They were very well aware about all the accusations about JFK and infidelity, and they never went down that road either.
Maybe you could say it was a different time and there was more discretion, and maybe there should be more discretion.
I'm not sure if that argument works for me.
James Carville says, yeah, Joe Biden's rejection of a Super Bowl interview and is snub.
It only shows one thing, and that is the White House has a complete lack of confidence in his ability to do the simplest of interviews.
Mr. President, who are you pulling for today?
Mr. President, you know, what do you think of whatever?
And then maybe a few questions about the border, maybe a few questions about his age.
Uh wrap up the interview in 10, 12, 15 minutes, and you're done.
That's that's that's what a Super Bowl interview turns into.
O'Reilly interviewed Obama, not once, but twice.
I interviewed Trump for one of those Super Bowl interviews.
It was fun to do, but I tried to stay away from too much controversy at the time.
But anyway, there's panic, there's fury, there's blame all inside of Joe's White House.
Uh Larry Cudlow had a good point about this.
The Biden presidency is broken.
And if you break down all of the areas that matter, all of the metrics that matter, and you look at the polling on issues, there's not a single issue that instills confidence.
Not one in the American people.
And if 86, 87, nearly 90% of American people of the American people are saying, get rid of this guy.
He's not up to the job.
Why don't they listen?
You know, the New York Post took the bull by the horns, and their headlining editorial went this way.
Jill Biden and Democrats committed elder abuse on Joe, and now they've got to force him to step aside.
At what point do the people around him say enough is enough?
If last week was not enough in and of itself to step in if it's a loved one that's struggling this way and put an end to it, I I don't know what would do it.
I mean, are they really going to try and see this through the end?
Because I don't see this getting any better.
It seems that the decline has accelerated, if anything else.
You know, to listen to Mayorca say, well, Biden's clo Biden is uh sharp, detail oriented, and focused, and Gensaki fuming about the media coverage, and Kamala Harris acting, you know, very outraged about it all.
Even Bob Costas said, I've been saying this for years that Biden has mental gaps and his hubris requires being shown the door.
In other words, he's not going to do it on his own.
But to listen to all these people, he's got so much energy, Jensaki once said.
I I could barely keep up with him.
And I'm like, what's your energy level like?
What one New York Times opinion writer was very blunt that Biden should step aside, saying that things have worked okay throughout the stage of Biden's decline, though is uh it's very different from betting that he can continue to work uh for almost five more years,
and saying that Biden is capable of occupying the presidency for the next 11 months is quite different from saying that he's capable of spending those months effectively campaigning for the right to occupy that office again.
So, you know, keep taking the Democrats' advice here.
Yeah, put him out there more often.
What are you gonna get?
Why would you, you know, what what is the definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over again, except this time you expect a different result.
I don't think the results are gonna be that different.
I think he'll continue to talk to dead people, and I think he'll continue to have one verbal gaff after another.
And I think he'll be confused and confounded, and he'll be mumbling and bumbling and stumbling his way to you know the election in 266 days from now.
Because that's when it's coming.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Um we just have a lot of ground to cover here today.
A real lot of ground.
All right, we got to take a quick break.
We'll come back, we'll continue on the other side.
800 941 Sean.
Also Marco Rubio and Dr. Ronnie Jackson coming up straight ahead.
