Speaker 1 Sunday morning. What is today is Congressman Peter King, and he has a few things on his mind every Sunday, And well, Congressman King, what’s up today?

Speaker 2 Well, John, first of all, we’re alive and well, so I’m happy about that. Actually, one thing I’ve been concerned about lately is that these books that are coming out one after the other by people who are very close to Joe Biden. Some people are on his staff, top people on the staff, people who were talking to individuals

on his staff. And you have reports like Jake Tappa coming out with books basically saying that for least the last few years, Joe Biden was not equipped to be president, that he was suffering from whether we want to call it dementia or just old age or some combination of Parkinson’s, well, whatever it was, he just was not functioning. He was

not with it. He was having terrible memory losses, a serious inability to think. And yeah, that can happen to anyone. You know, you and I are getting up there in age, and I think we’re still functioning pretty wealth but and I don’t think we should be ridiculing Biden. I mean, it can happen. I guess to anyone, but I really fought

for the staff and probably his wife and son well from using him.

Speaker 1 You know, I’ve never said anything bad about Biden other than you know, I think he’s being used at a certain point. I don’t think he’s making the decisions. The question is who is making the decisions, And that’s very important because somebody was was was was using Biden as a well as a figurehead. I mean, what was the

name of that movie with the dead president Dave or something?

Speaker 2 Oh, yes, right, yeah, right, yeah right. And then we had apparently early in the last century, we had Windrow Wilson, whose wife is calling the show. Whoever John whoever was in charge. Certainly no one ever elected him, elected that person to that job, and it was really a hoax.

They were putting over, a fraud they were putting over on the American people. And so again I’m not here to criticize Biden per se, but I agree with you. I think people around him, and particularly his close family members.

You know, my wife used to say, Rosemary used to say, how can his wife put him out there like that, knowing how out of touch he is, how vegae seems. I didn’t know Joe Biden. Well, but I knew him enough when he was in the Senate and somewhat when he was Vice president, and well, he’s always sort of

saying some crazy things. The fact is he was basically a very sharp guy. He knew who you were. He makes some quick remark or Joe.

Speaker 1 Senator Tomato, our friend Senator Tomato, it says the same thing. You know, he had his quirks, but he was pretty sharp.

Speaker 2 At one time, Joe and I would see him, I show him. I guess is about five years ago. I was at some event. He was there and he recognized you right away. He asked me some questions and knew what was going on, and he didn’t expect me to be there, so it wasn’t like somebody rehearsed him. Then

I saw him as he was running for president after that, and he had this vague look in his eye. He always looked confused, and he had a week look, which he never had before. So we have to find some way to work around this in the future. I mean, you can’t have a person who really is not aware

and not conscious to what’s happening through running the country making those decisions at three o’clock in the morning, making those decisions, even when there could be a nuclear attack.

Speaker 1 There’s two items that really really upset me, Congressman. One is the fact that they indicted the White House called the shots when they indicted President Trump, and a former president. Never happened before. A former president in Florida, in Georgia, in Washington, d C. In New York. Somebody. It wasn’t Joe Biden, I don’t think, in my opinion, but somebody

we have to find out who called the shots to go after the former president like that. John.

Speaker 2 It had never happened before. And somebody was happening in four or five states, four or five jurisdictions. And you hadst in New York with Alvin Bragg, as bad as he was, he at first refused to indict Trump. Then somebody comes from the administration, gets a job in his office, and suddenly they’re indicting Donald Trump. Was not just a coincidence,

and all these ones around the country. You don’t make a certain decision it’s never been made before, suddenly you have having it being made in the and one jurisdiction after another, all democratic jurisdictions. To me, none of those indictments should have been brought. It’s dangerous for the country.

I was against Bill Clintons and Peach when that was wrong. That was a one off. Now this one with Donald Trump, that was five four or five major indictments out there, civil lawsuits being brought. Somebody, somebody was doing the family and those I agree with.

Speaker 1 Those people should be brought to trial. Somebody knows, somebody knows who did it. And the other thing, eight thousand pardons, did somebody sell them? Because I don’t think Joe Biden knows who signed twelve to ninety eight thousand pardons. I mean that’s a mistake. And as far as husband abuse, well, Joe Biden, it looks like to me, just my opinion,

she takes her her husband, who doesn’t know if he’s coming or going to the television show because she’s not getting any attention anymore.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, it was every person, man and woman to stay up there, you know, everybody to be seen herd. But I don’t care. If the president was a female, the husband shouldn’t be calling the shots. If it’s a male, the wife shouldn’t be calling the shots. And now you’re right, she’s following him around either she’s his caretaker or she

just wants to be bullish or both. But like Fincher, they run the view she’s sitting there with them, sort of like you know, the mother bringing the kid to school, the kid who isn’t that smart, and the mother has to come with him. That’s the way it looks. And then when they asked to it, even at the beginning

of a tough question, she jumped in. It’s almost it reminds me of like Bill Belichick with his girlfriend. Well, she jumped in and said, you know, we’re not going to answer those questions. I mean for her too, for Joe Biden to be acting like she has to protect him, that only makes his image worse. And I don’t know,

maybe they need the money. Maybe you know, the gravy trainers dried up and they want to She wants to make sure she can tell her memoirs. But whatever it is, if she really loved her husband, I don’t see how she could have allowed him to go out there. And I’m not listen, God forbid, it could have it to

any of us. You get dementia, you get Alzheimer’s, you just slow down. But then you would hope that those around you. Those who say they love you come in to help you out, whether it’s taking away the cock keys, whether it’s saying you have to slow down at work, whatever it is. You’d hope that they intervene and don’t

push you just for their own goods. Is what happened to here.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, I agree with you and what I think what has to happen is we got to find out the truth. The American people knew that to know the truth, want to know the truth. And the fact is if somebody did stuff like that, well they deserve to go to jail.

This is this is the United States of America. It’s like watching that movie Dave with the with the Dead President, or or the movie I watched last night. What was that movie? It’s oh my god, where uh where where they where? They blow up the whole capital.

Speaker 2 I was watching. They blow up the whole capital.

Speaker 1 Designated survivor and there’s only for one person, with one person that’s not in the Capitol at the time, and he becomes the President.

Speaker 2 John. When it comes to movies, we shul have Judge Weinberg with us. He knows every movie he’s ever been made, and he tells you hold the starring starring role and the co starring roles and everything else. He’s a He’s our resident movie genius.

Speaker 1 Connor drinking. Have a great day and see you on Monday night.

Speaker 2 I’ll you can’t go into me that easy, John. I know it was away for a week. I had some kind of chest call, my wife had it. We’re back, I’m healthy, and I’m all said to go in there and fight with the world.

Speaker 1 God bless you and God bless Merrick.

Speaker 2 Thank you, John, thank you. See you tomorrow night.
