00:00My daughter had a baby.
00:03I'm going to go back home and see that little baby.
00:15Fox News alert.
00:16A recording of Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Herr has just been
00:20released.
00:21Axios got its hands on about eight minutes.
00:24We'll play some of it for you in a second.
00:26Robert Herr had been appointed special counsel by the Biden Justice Department to investigate
00:30Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents during and after his vice presidency.
00:36Classified documents were discovered in sloppily packed boxes in Joe Biden's garage next to
00:41his Corvette and inside his home office.
00:44At the same time Biden was raiding Mar-a-Lago and indicting Trump for mishandling classified
00:49documents, his handlers were scrambling to locate the classified documents that Biden
00:55had mishandled.
00:56Now, Biden, as VP, didn't have the constitutional authority to possess any classified documents.
01:03So after Robert Herr interviewed President Joe Biden, he released a report.
01:07The report stated that Joe Biden had mishandled classified documents, but because he was a
01:13quote sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory, he declined to recommend
01:19charges.
01:20Later, the transcript of the Biden-Herr interview was released, but not the audio.
01:25Tonight we have some of this audio.
01:28First we'll play you a portion where special counsel Robert Herr asks President Biden,
01:33where did you keep your papers?
01:35And Biden can't answer.
01:37And then rambles incoherently about his son.
01:39Can't remember when his son died and can't remember when Trump was elected.
01:43Watch.
01:44During this time, we were living in Chambers Road and there were documents related to the
01:49Penn-Biden Center or the Biden book, where did you keep papers that related to those
02:00things that you were actively working on?
02:06Well, I don't know.
02:14This is what, 2017, 18, that period?
02:19Yes, sir.
02:20Remember, in this timeframe, my son has either been deployed or is dying.
02:32And so it was, and so I hadn't, I hadn't at this point, even though I'm at Penn, I hadn't
02:43walked away from the idea that I might run for office again.
02:47If I ran again, I'd be running for president.
02:51And, and so what was happening though, the month before he died, God, May 30th, 2015,
03:03when in 2015 he had died.
03:05May 2015.
03:06I think it was 2015.
03:08I'm not sure what the months were, but I think it was.
03:10Yeah.
03:11That's right, Mr. President.
03:13And what's happened in the meantime is that, uh, has, and Trump gets elected in November
03:28of 2017.
03:292016.
03:3016, 2016.
03:31All right.
03:32So, why do I have 2017 here?
03:40That's when you left the office in January of 2017.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Okay.
03:45Um, but that's when Trump gets sworn in.
03:49Right.
03:50Right.
03:51Correct.
03:52Okay.
03:53Yeah.
03:54And, uh, in 2017, Bo had passed and, uh-
04:02Robert Herr was absolutely right.
04:04It's very hard not to feel sympathetic for President Biden.
04:07He's clearly exhausted.
04:09His memory's shot and he's lost and confused about his very painful past.
04:13Joe Biden and Robert Herr continued.
04:16Bo, I used to go home on the train in the period that I was still in the Senate.
04:34Anyway, excuse me.
04:41There was pressure, not pressure.
04:43Bo knew how much I adored him.
04:49And, uh, I don't know if this sounds, maybe it sounds so.
04:57Everybody knew how close we were.
04:59There was not anybody in the world who wondered whether or not, anyway.
05:06And so-
05:07I'm wondering if this is a good time to take a break.
05:10No, let me just keep going to get it done.
05:13Biden still hasn't answered the question four minutes later.
05:16Still hasn't answered it.
05:17Where did you keep your papers?
05:19Still has not answered it.
05:21If he can't answer a simple question like that in a high stakes interview, how was he
05:25in the situation room?
05:27How bad was his memory?
05:29What else wasn't he able to remember when he was president?
05:32Remember, this is the first time an outsider had spent any time with the president for
05:37a very long time.
05:39This was October 2023.
05:41This is the third year of his presidency.
05:43Remember, he had been kept from his cabinet secretaries, went for months without seeing
05:48or speaking to them.
05:50This was at a time when his inner circle was getting smaller and smaller.
05:55And sometimes there'd be like four to five days when the public hadn't even laid eyes
05:59on him.
06:00Her was the first one within the Biden administration to tell the truth and say something's not
06:06right.
06:07And when his report was released, it was like a bomb went off.
06:10Biden was forced to jump out of bed at eight o'clock at night in a hastily arranged press
06:15conference where he lashed out at her and started pointing his fingers.
06:20How bad is your memory?
06:22And can you continue as president?
06:24My memory is so bad, I let you speak.
06:27For months when you were asked about your age, you would respond with the words, watch
06:31me.
06:32Many American people have been watching and they have expressed concerns about your age.
06:37That is your judgment.
06:38That is your judgment.
06:40That is not the judgment of the press.
06:43Biden's performance did nothing to shut down the talk that he was too old to be president
06:47and too old to run for reelection.
06:50But the dam never really broke.
06:52Democrats were never able to force a primary or force him to step down.
06:56And the next bomb to go off after her report, the debate.
07:00We finally beat Medicare.
07:02Thank you, President Biden.
07:04President Trump?
07:05Well, he's right.
07:06He did beat Medicare.
07:07He beat it to death.
07:08I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative
07:14to what we can do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers.
07:19President Trump?
07:20I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence.
07:23I don't think he knows what he said either.
07:25Tim Pool is the host of Timcast.
07:28So now is it clear why they withheld this audio?
07:32Yes, I think it was clear to us the whole time.
07:34I think it's fascinating that the narrative we're trying to run now is we missed the story.
07:38We just were completely unaware this thing had been happening.
07:42You know what I'm thinking the whole time we're playing these clips is there are a lot
07:45of liberal news institutions, powerful newspapers that like to refer to someone like me as conservative
07:51simply for noticing that the sitting president was infirm.
07:55He was incapable of doing his job.
07:57When they released the transcript, immediately anybody who's rational says, let's hear the tape.
08:03I mean, you're saying we're not going to prosecute this guy while claiming Donald Trump did the same thing
08:07but should be prosecuted.
08:08We want to hear what happened and why.
08:10And they withhold it.
08:11Now they have the nerve to come out and claim, you know, is that the White House course on
08:14its dinner or whatever?
08:15Whoopsie.
08:16We just missed this one the whole time.
08:18I don't understand how regular people sitting at home saw this happen.
08:23And these journalists claim they had no idea what was going on.
08:26So the tape is so much worse than the transcript.
08:28And the transcript was bad because the transcript, he doesn't know when Trump was sworn in.
08:33He doesn't know when he was elected.
08:34And he was about two, maybe three years off from when his son died.
08:37Now, I feel bad for him.
08:38Robert Herr, in a way, was right.
08:40Would a jury vote to indict a guy that can't even remember when his son passed away
08:46or couldn't even remember when he was vice president?
08:49If they're in D.C., he was right.
08:51It's not going to happen.
08:52Yeah, right.
08:53But, you know, it's sad to see that this was the state of the presidency.
08:57And it's regular people calling it out.
09:01And it's the corporate institutions, not every single corporate institution.
09:05Obviously, there were some journalists that were speaking out against this.
09:07But they covered it up.
09:09And they covered it up because they knew they were going to lose an election.
09:11And then they end up pulling out the last minute, acting like they were surprised to find out the guy was not functioning properly.
09:16There was an instant where Joe Biden missed.
09:19He stated, I think, Libya instead of Syria.
09:22Imagine he's in the Situation Room and he gives an order directly and firmly.
09:26We're going to send troops to Libya.
09:28And these guys look at each other.
09:29Now they have to make a decision.
09:30Do we follow that order, genuinely believing we should move into Libya?
09:34Or is the president unwell and he's at the wrong country so we defy his order?
09:38Well, that's when you think maybe he didn't know about the border.
09:41Maybe no one told him about the border because some of the reporting says they never gave him bad news.
09:46So maybe he really didn't talk through the Afghanistan withdrawal.
09:50Maybe he forgot what he said about Bagram.
09:52I mean, everything is now in question with this guy.
09:56Do you think they understand that this her thing or these tell-alls, there might be more of this?
10:02We don't know what else could come out.
10:04I am curious why or how Axios got access to this audio, considering it was an Axios reporter claiming we missed this story.
10:11It's almost like it's intentionally coming out now so the journalists can try and save face.
10:16But it does call into question these pardons, the use of auto pen.
10:20And I think it may actually open the door.
10:22I'm not a lawyer, but I'd imagine Trump or his administration may try to make some arguments to the federal courts about actions Joe Biden took.
10:30Because now we've got more information coming out and they're reasonably going to determine, yeah, Joe Biden couldn't remember anything.
10:37He didn't even know when his son died.
10:40Or when Trump got elected or when he left office, how could he have made these decisions?
10:44How could they be legal?
10:45So you have the auto pen, you have the her audio, and you have some of these tell-alls, which are basically like a confession.
10:51Do you think there should be hearings on Capitol Hill about this cover-up?
10:55Yeah, but I wonder what those would really accomplish.
10:58It's tough.
10:59It's good the public knows.
11:01It's good we question it.
11:03But I do think the more information we get on this, the better it is for this country.
11:07You can see with Donald Trump winning a popular mandate, there was a genuine swing from individuals who started to wake up to what was going on,
11:15that some of these longstanding news institutions had been lying to them.
11:19When they come out and claim we missed it, it just hurts their credibility more.
11:22All right.
11:23Tim Pool, thank you so much.
11:24Thanks for having me.
11:25All right.
11:26So we just got some more audio.
11:27Here's Biden getting grilled on the classified documents in his basement and why he changed his story.
11:33Listen.
11:34In the course of explaining that memo about Afghanistan, you said to Mark, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs.
11:45And so you can imagine we are curious what you meant when you said, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs.
11:55I don't remember.
11:58I'm not supposed to speculate, right?
12:01Correct.
12:02Well, I don't remember.
12:05And it may have been.
12:13I just don't remember.
12:15OK.
12:16Do you remember telling Mark about the handwritten memo that you had written for President Obama?
12:22I probably did.
12:24I don't remember specifically, but my guess is.
12:27I may have done that.
12:29OK.
12:30Do you remember telling him, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs?
12:36Mark.
12:37Telling Mark.
12:38Do you remember saying that to him?
12:40No.
12:41OK.
12:42Do you remember actually finding any classified stuff downstairs?
12:47No.
12:50Let's bring in Chris Whipple, author of Uncharted.
12:53So here they ask him, do you remember finding classified documents?
12:58And he says, I can't remember.
13:00That would be something I would remember.
13:03Yeah, I would think we might remember that.
13:07Look, I think that obviously this audio confirms what we all knew from Robert Herr's written report.
13:15And frankly, it confirms what everybody in the country knew, except Joe Biden's inner circle and his closest allies.
13:23Namely, that this guy was not qualified or able to run for reelection, much less serve another four years.
13:32And look, I think every time Biden is speaking on national television, particularly in these in these audio files from the Herr report, the Democrats are losing.
13:45The Democrats were already losing with this so-called or whatever, this rehabilitation tour of Biden's or whatever it was, because he failed to own the elephant in the room,
13:57which was his 11th hour abdication from the race and the way the Americans were misled about his mental decline.
14:07When you did your book and you spoke to people inside the inner circle when this whole Herr thing was going on, what was the reaction to it?
14:16Well, you know, Bob Bauer, Joe Biden's attorney, told me that, look, Chris, are you kidding me?
14:23Well, you know how would I have put him up to that interview?
14:27Would I have allowed that interview if I hadn't been totally confident that he could handle it?
14:32Well, not not such a great decision, apparently.
14:35But let's not forget that you refer to the bomb of the Herr report and the bomb of the debate.
14:41In between, there was another bomb, which I describe in my book.
14:44And that that's Ron Klain, White House chief of staff, on the record, describing in vivid detail exactly how out of it Joe Biden was in the pre-debate prep at Camp David,
14:58not being able to follow the back and forth between the campaigns, wandering off the pool, falling asleep in a lounge chair, unable to describe his second term plans.
15:08And yet they they went ahead with the debate.
15:12They kept sailing straight at the iceberg.
15:15Yeah, this looks like a dangerous presidency.
15:18The more and more information we get. Chris Whipple, thank you so much.
15:21The book's Uncharted. We appreciate it.
15:24James Comey questioned by the Secret Service. Right back.
15:30Fox News alert. Former FBI director James Comey is being questioned by the Secret Service after threatening the president's life.
15:37Comey posted a photo. Eighty six. Forty seven.
15:40Eighty six means take out. Trump's the 47th president.
15:44Now he's under investigation tonight. Secret Service escorted him to their Washington field office for an interview.
15:51Former FBI director James Comey leaving his house just moments ago, a source telling us he is right now being interviewed by the U.S. Secret Service.
15:58They're expected to ask about his intentions and whether he was trying to incite one of the assassins, whether charges will be brought.
16:06That'll be up to Pam Bondi and the new U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Judge Jeanine Pirro.
16:13Good luck, Jim. He knew exactly what that meant.
16:17A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant, that meant assassination.
16:26And it says it loud and clear. Now, he wasn't very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant.
16:35What do you want to see happen? I don't want to take a position on it because that's going to be up to Pam and all of the great people.
16:42But I will say this. I think it's a terrible thing. And when you add his history to that, if he had a clean history, he doesn't.
16:50He's a dirty cop. He's a dirty cop.
16:53Trump's director of national intelligence wants to lock him up.
16:58Do you believe Comey should be in jail?
17:01I do. Any other person with the position of influence that he has, people who take very seriously what a guy of his stature,
17:11his experience and what the propaganda media has built him up to be, I'm very concerned for the president's life.
17:18We've already seen assassination attempts. I'm very concerned for his life.
17:22And James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.
17:28Comey deleted the evidence and said he thought the shells were just a political message.
17:33He says he didn't touch the seashells. He's just the photographer.
17:37It seems like Comey sees a lot of seashells down by the seashore that describe exactly how he's feeling.
17:43Last fall, he posted this shell. Vote Harris.
17:47This must be the most politically charged beach in the nation, except it's a beach in Virginia.
17:54So Comey's probably creating the beach chart.
17:57Secret Service is going to ask him, are you sure you didn't make this yourself?
18:01Because lying to federal agents, that's five years. You better not have any sand under his fingernails.
18:07He's the only guy that spends more time in the sand than Biden.
18:11CNN says, though, this isn't a threat. Comey is just a bartender.
18:16The bar is very high for what is a threat versus what is a statement versus what is a message.
18:23And when you look at this as, you know, the 86-47, is that a threat?
18:31You know, 86 comes from the land of bartenders.
18:35When they said you can't drink here anymore because you're a bad customer.
18:39The media is already pretending not to know what 86-47 means.
18:42It's the same way they pretended not to know MS-13 was on the Maryland dad's knuckles.
18:47Suddenly, it's legal to threaten the president's life.
18:51This is not criminal. This is not a criminally chargeable threat against the president.
18:56It's political speech. It's way too broad. It's stupid. It's reckless. It's not criminal.
19:01That's just hyperbole that you're hearing from the cabinet members there.
19:04The last administration didn't take threats to the president seriously, and Trump ended up with a hole in his ear.
19:10MSNBC says we should be thanking Comey.
19:14I mean, Comey took the post down immediately. He apologized.
19:17It is so surprising to me that he is so disliked on the right,
19:21considering the role he helped play in Donald Trump's original election in 2016.
19:27But this is certainly, you know, for those, you know, in the atmosphere who want to talk about something else,
19:32who want to be angry about something, James Comey provided a convenient target for them right now,
19:37and they're happy to do it.
19:39We don't want to be angry at Comey. We just don't want the president dead.
19:43Comey puts a target on Trump's head, and MSNBC says Comey's being targeted, and Republicans are pouncing.
19:50CNN writes former FBI director James Comey takes down Instagram post after conservative uproar.
19:58Politico's headline, James Comey sparks Republican outrage with Trump social media posts.
20:04The rest of the media completely covered up the story.
20:07ABC and CBS didn't talk about it at all in their morning shows.
20:11Today's show didn't even give it a minute.
20:14Cash would get killed in the press if he said 86 Biden. Killed.
20:20Comey gets sympathy, even though he's been fantasizing about punishing Trump for years.
20:26They would just put him in a double wide somewhere out near the fence, out in the grass,
20:30and he would eat there, he'd shower there, he'd exercise there, he'd be away,
20:34as Donya Perry said, from general population, but it's obviously doable.
20:39Now that Trump can't go to jail, Comey wants him 86'd, but swears those words have no meaning.
20:45He was singing a different tune when Trump said, stand back and stand by.
20:50The FBI is fighting a fire of racist violence, and with words like that,
20:55the president is using a fire hose to spray gasoline on that fire.
20:59Comey prefers using seashells instead of fire hoses.
21:03When high profile people put out assassination bat signals, it sets off lunatics.
21:08Comey knows this.
21:10There is significant risk that threats will continue to be aimed at individual public servants,
21:16and that disturbed individuals will act on those threats and harm poll workers
21:21or council people or elected officials. That is a very serious thing and has to be taken seriously.
21:27You know, when Trump dodged a bullet in Butler, Comey didn't even put out a statement.
21:31Wish him well or even say a prayer.
21:34Comey's post is perfectly timed.
21:37Next week, he's releasing a book.
21:41It's a novel about right-wing extremists plotting a terror attack in New York
21:46who get stopped by two female lawyers.
21:49Doesn't sound like a bestseller.
21:51Comey's hoping his assassination shells will bump up sales.
21:55Comey wants to be a martyr so he can put out a hit on the president
21:59and then goad the FBI to arrest him.
22:02He wants a mugshot so he can make those jailhouse calls to MSNBC and call Trump a dictator.
22:08He's drooling over the next book deal.
22:10The first political prisoner of the Golden Age. Fat chance.
22:15All the left's heroes crash and come down to earth.
22:18Fauci, Schiff, Biden, Irish Rosie, now Comey.
22:24The former director is fighting a war he can't win, taking hits out on 47 for money and attention.
22:30Not even J. Edgar Hoover stooped that low.
22:34Joe Concha is here now.
22:36So, Concha, we're just getting word that Secret Service sources are telling Fox
22:40that they'll be interviewing Comey's wife next.
22:45Wow. They should.
22:47James Comey could go straight to hell, Jesse, and I don't talk that way very often.
22:51We know each other for some time.
22:53But the fact that he put this up, 86-47 in seashells, which takes some time to do, right?
23:00You really ought to think about this for a while.
23:02And the fact that he claimed that, oh, I didn't know that was something violent.
23:06He's literally the former director of the FBI.
23:09He knows exactly what 86-47 means.
23:13And the fact that Donald Trump was nearly assassinated twice, July 13th in Butler, September of 2024,
23:20the sixth hole, Trump International.
23:22If a Secret Service agent doesn't see that rifle sticking out through those bushes,
23:27Donald Trump is dead, right?
23:29And if James, I'm sorry, Thomas Crooks, if Donald Trump doesn't turn his head
23:33in a certain way to read a chart that he never has before,
23:36his head is blown off on national television.
23:39He knows this. He knows this.
23:41He does it anyway because he has a book to sell.
23:43Because the other two books, I guess, didn't make him enough money.
23:46Or the Showtime series didn't make him enough money.
23:49It's a shame to say that I'm from New Jersey when this guy is also from New Jersey.
23:53And the fact that he claims ignorance, oh, I didn't know what that meant.
23:57You know exactly what it meant.
23:58You want to sell some books. You want attention for yourself.
24:01And the fact that the left is somehow defending this, I'm sorry.
24:05I'm sorry if I'm a little emotional right now.
24:07But I'm sick and tired of the fact that our president has been targeted over and over again
24:12with rhetoric that clearly calls for the assassination of this man.
24:16Remember Joe Biden, July 11th, where he said that
24:19we need to put Donald Trump in a bullseye, unquote.
24:22That's what the sitting president of the United States said.
24:25And now a former FBI director, same thing.
24:28I'm sorry. His wife should be spoken to.
24:30He should be arrested. End of story.
24:33No more of this. No more of this.
24:35We can't have rhetoric like this anymore.
24:37Yeah, the media is saying it's just bartender slang.
24:40That's all they're saying.
24:41And this is after the media covered up Joe Biden.
24:44We have new audio. Here's the fourth soundbite from the Her Report interview. Watch.
24:50At this point in time, you know, around a month or so after you left the vice presidency,
24:57were you still in the process of going through your stuff at CBR
25:01to see what was packed where and where everything was?
25:05Well, I don't specifically remember, but I can't imagine not.
25:10They just drop all these boxes in the library and boxes.
25:15And there's a hallway in the back of the garage.
25:18A lot of stuff in the garage itself, boxes piled up.
25:23And my problem was, where the hell is all this stuff going?
25:28You know, I mean, we're just taking up a lot of room.
25:32And there wasn't so much.
25:36I was looking for anything. It was like, well, what do I clear out?
25:41What do I get out of the way?
25:44Is it near a hallway or is it a garage or is it in this library?
25:50It was more in that context, I recall.
25:53I think I'm always in boxes.
25:55I'm like, I'm looking for something, like I'm trying to compile things.
25:59But just what they pack up, what's here?
26:04So Joe has no idea what's in the boxes all over his garage next to his prized Corvette.
26:09And remember at the time when the her report came out, the media slammed her.
26:15They said, you don't know what you're talking about.
26:17You're being mean to this president. And he was attacked.
26:21Now this.
26:24Yeah, specifically Oliver Darcy of CNN, who's no longer there,
26:29literally called out the Wall Street Journal reporting on Joe Biden in terms of his cognitive ability on the Robert Hur tapes.
26:37It said that they need to do better. Oh, please.
26:40It was the right thing to do to release these tapes. Now, Jesse, this is the biggest story in modern American political history.
26:46And that's not hyperbole. We had a commander in chief, a sitting U.S. president whose brain turned to applesauce many years ago.
26:53Well, before that debate, June 27th, 2024, Atlanta, Georgia, Georgia Tech.
26:59I was there. That was not the tipping point that helped.
27:02That happened well before going all the way back to 2019.
27:06If you watch the primary debates when Joe Biden was running for president, you had Democratic candidates like Cory Booker, like Julian Castro calling out his memory.
27:15Look at that video there. Does that look like somebody who's totally with it?
27:19That's June 10th of 2024. And I'm sorry, this was a national security emergency.
27:25The fact that this guy had the nuclear codes could not be awakened at 2 a.m. in the morning.
27:30And the fact that the media tried to cover this up as much as possible is a whole ball of wrong.
27:34Congress needs to investigate this. I want to know who was running the country for at least two years during 2023, 2024,
27:43when Joe Biden was clearly acting like this, sounding like this.
27:47We dodged a bullet, Jesse. Let's put it that way.
27:50As far as like Joe Biden and his ability to run this country, because somebody else is running it. We don't know who it is.
27:55Yeah, we sure do deserve to know. Joe Contra, thank you so much.
27:59More primetime straight ahead.
28:05The Golden Age World Tour has come to an end. Trump's got more important business waiting at home.
28:10It's been a tremendous time and now it's time to go back home.
28:14My daughter had a baby. I'm going to go back home and see that little baby.
28:18And then we get back to a lot of work.
28:21After a week of wheeling and dealing overseas, Trump spent his ride home clowning Hollywood elites from Air Force One.
28:28Has anyone noticed that since I said I hate Taylor Swift, she's no longer hot?
28:33Bruce Springsteen, not safe either, getting called out after his tedious meltdown on stage in England.
28:40Trump telling the boss, quote, never liked him, never liked his music.
28:43He's just a pushy, obnoxious jerk. 47 is just blowing off steam.
28:48You know, work hard, play hard. He just spent a week pushing the America first agenda abroad.
28:54We just reached a fantastic trade deal, as you know, with the United Kingdom, which was wonderful.
29:00And we have another big one that we just reached with China.
29:04China deals a very big deal.
29:06We have at the same time 150 countries that want to make a deal, but you're not able to see that many countries.
29:14So at a certain point over the next two to three weeks, I think Scott and Howard will be sending letters out,
29:20essentially telling people it would be very fair, but will be telling people what they'll be paying to do business in the United States.
29:29Trump's busy cleaning up the Obama Biden mess. First, he straightened out our trade debts.
29:35And now Trump just confirmed the U.S. has handed Iran a new nuclear deal proposal.
29:42They have a proposal, but more importantly, they know they have to move quickly or something bad, something bad is going to happen.
29:48The Middle East bending to Trump's will. Oil dropped from $80 a barrel to 65.
29:54That's going to help with inflation a lot. Also makes a big debt in Putin's war machine.
30:00Trump even got his own oil as a parting gift.
30:03This is the highest quality oil there is on the planet, and they only gave me a drop.
30:09So I'm not thrilled, but it's better than no drop. Can you imagine?
30:14And his approval rating surging.
30:18It's time for a bit of a reality check, right?
30:21We were going to late April. Donald Trump's approval rating, his net approval seemed to be falling.
30:25He seemed to be adios amigos. People were writing his political obituary.
30:29He is rising from the dead like Methuselah. Look at this.
30:32Hello, Trump's net approval rating among voters. This is the Reuters, Ipsos polling.
30:36Look at this. In late April, he was eight points underwater.
30:39But look at where he was in the most recent poll among voters. He's up seven points.
30:43Sometimes Donald Trump has some pretty good political instincts.
30:47RNC chairman Michael Watley's here. How are you doing, Michael?
30:50Doing great. It is great to see the president coming back to America after such a whirlwind.
30:55What a successful trip. I mean, this is art of the deal.
30:59This is peace through strength. This is America first. All wrapped up in his first major trip.
31:04What do you think accounts for the surge in popularity?
31:08You think it's the China deal? You think it's the country seeing him close deals in the Middle East?
31:15What is it?
31:16Yeah, this is him keeping all of the promises that he made.
31:19He's going to restore our economy. He's going to rebuild our economy.
31:23He's going to make sure that America is strong and respected around the world.
31:28And we're getting a chance to see that right now.
31:30What's amazing to me is that the American people are seeing it,
31:33despite the fact that the mainstream media is doing everything they can to cover up the trip
31:38and really not covering it whatsoever.
31:40Yeah, it's funny because they keep talking about how we have to get this economy in gear.
31:44They keep talking about how we need peace in the Middle East.
31:47Everything he's doing is trying to accomplish that, and they black it out. Why?
31:53Well, I guess they just can't stand to see the president succeed. It really is remarkable.
31:58You know, you think about what he's doing to rebuild our economy right now,
32:02and it really is focused on making sure that we have regulatory relief,
32:06making sure that we are bringing jobs back to America through tariffs.
32:10And it's also making sure that we're working with Congress to get the big, beautiful bill done.
32:15And when you hit on all of those cylinders, the economy is going to surge.
32:19We're already seeing a drop in housing prices. We're seeing a drop in grocery prices, gasoline prices.
32:25Inflation is already coming down.
32:27And the media just cannot find a way to say that President Trump is succeeding
32:32through doing what he said he was going to do.
32:34Yeah, and the bad hombres are getting ice. That accounts for a lot, too.
32:37Mike Whatley, thanks so much. Have a great weekend.
32:40The Biden-Herr tapes. They're worse than we thought.
32:44Peter Doocy has a live report. Next.
32:53Fox News Alert. The audio of Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Herr just dropped.
32:58And it's worse than we thought.
33:01Papers that related to those things that you were actively working.
33:08Well. I don't know.
33:16This is what, 2017, 18.
33:21Remember, Biden lashed out at the press when this report came out, including Peter Doocy,
33:27who joins me now from all the way across the world.
33:30That press conference, that was a. I remember that.
33:34Well, you do, too. Yeah.
33:39And I don't want to say that this vindicates the question that I asked,
33:44but it kind of does, because all that I did was ask President Biden why.
33:49And I'm just hearing a little bit of a mixed finance problem in the control room,
33:53if you guys can fix that. But I asked President Biden about this.
33:57Robert Herr recommendation not to prosecute him for mishandling classified information
34:02because he thought after sitting for that interview that any jury would just come to the conclusion
34:10that Joe Biden would not be convicted. He was a well-intentioned elderly man with a poor memory.
34:16And even in big moments, big addresses throughout his presidency,
34:21a big part of the reason that he had to drop out and see to Kamala Harris
34:25is because it sounded like on camera he was talking in slow motion.
34:28If you slowed that down 10 times, that is what you get with this audio.
34:32We know that it was on a busy day.
34:35He sat with Robert Herr in the map room at the White House as the October 7th attacks were unfolding.
34:41But it it really makes everybody once you hear this audio,
34:46it makes everybody that was saying, well, Joe Biden is OK in private.
34:51Look, really, really bad. We all saw what we saw on camera in public.
34:58But this is a recorded and they knew that they were being recorded.
35:02But it just sounds like a guy who really needed a coffee.
35:08But it's unclear that that would have helped him remember where it is that he kept the important information.
35:14And they're asking him. It's not like they're asking him about some hotel he stayed at in 2017.
35:18They're asking him, hey, in your house, where did you keep the important documents?
35:24Jesse, you didn't Peter Doocy with the I don't mean to say I told you so, but I told you so.
35:30Get some sleep. We love you. See you back here soon.
35:33A major correction. That's next.
35:44Singer Swim tonight, Abby Hornacek, Emily Austin, and this one is a matchup.
35:54Tonight's prize. Look at this pair of Fox News sneakers that nobody knows what size.
35:59Yeah. Is that a one size fits all size? Ten men's.
36:03So they fit. Oh, that'll fit in between the both of us.
36:06All right. First category is still popping.
36:09Which Trump deranged D-lister is publicly begging her shrink for more Xanax?
36:15Is it Rosie or Kathy Griffin? Rosie.
36:19Let's say, oh, I asked him if I could get Xanax because, you know, Xanax to sleep is fantastic.
36:26Why don't I should know? Irish Rosie.
36:30We're going to move the sneakers closer to both of us.
36:34Rock and roll is the category which while abroad this week, both Robert De Niro and Bruce Springsteen went on a tirade against Trump.
36:41But which one claims we are just removing Americans off the streets?
36:47Bruce or Bobby De Niro?
36:50Bruce talks for a long time. There's got to be a way he worked that in there.
36:53They're removing residents off American streets and without due process.
37:01Imagine just being there and coming for music and then that's what you get.
37:04I would be so. Yeah, I'd throw my beer.
37:07Case of the munchies, which Democrat says order pizza when you're baked?
37:12Was it AOC or Eric Adams? Isn't Erica?
37:15Mayor Adams, a weed guy.
37:17It's a good pizza when you get the munchies.
37:20Cannabis that you smoke. It's worth it just to hear him say pizza.
37:24Both of them. Definitely. All right. This is the final one.
37:27Plain and simple. Which Republican told primetime that they wouldn't take a ride on Trump's new Qatari Air Force One?
37:33Was it Lindsey Graham or Rand Paul?
37:35I watch primetime every night and I saw this every time. I'm a huge fan.
37:39I probably won't be riding on it, but no, I think it's a mistake.
37:42And it's just bringing up something, doesn't it?
37:45Abby, that's what you get for watching primetime every night.
37:48We're going to. Do I have to trade?
37:50Oh, I'm going to put Cinderella for free.
37:53There you go. Thank you so much. Congratulations.
37:56Keep these ones. This is a children's show. Better luck next time, Emily.
38:00Oh, wow. We have a very, very important correction to make.
38:05I regret that we have to do this, but I'm a man of my word.
38:09The other day we reported on primetime that my sporting clay team, the five.
38:16We placed eighth in the flurry at Moreland Farms.
38:19That was not accurate. And I'm here to correct the record.
38:22We have new information about the flurry.
38:24And I'm going to report to you tonight that our team, the five placed fifth.
38:31That's right. We were fifth out of twenty five teams.
38:34Now, I didn't have a lot to do with it. We had a couple ringers.
38:38Thank you guys so much. See, I'm a man of my word.
38:41I'm not like one of these fake news journalists that when they make a mistake, they just breeze over it.
38:46I always correct the record.
38:48We have a self fact checker here and you're looking at him.
38:52So way to go, guys. Sean Hannity's next.
38:56Always remember to DVR the show. But first, I'm Waters.
39:01And these are my converse.
39:18And I'm Sean Hannity.
