00:00So, do you think that President Biden should step aside from the 2024 run?

00:07You know, I don't know what they're going to do. I think they're in a terrible, terrible situation.

00:12You've got the Ohio primary or the Ohio election. He has to be on the ballot in Ohio by the first

00:18week in August or there won't be a Democrat on the ballot for president in Ohio. So, you've got

00:24that situation. You've got, I believe, there's six other states, Nevada and Arizona and Georgia,

00:30Wisconsin and I believe Michigan. They've got a terrible mess in those states because he is the

00:36candidate. He is the person. So, they've got a situation that they have to deal with in those

00:41states as to how they would even replace him on the ballot. In addition to which, they can't just

00:46launder this money from Joe Biden raising it for his campaign and then turning around and doling

00:51it out to the next candidate that may step up in line. That's not how this situation works. If they

00:56attempted that, they would be violating campaign finance laws. So, they're in a terrible mess and

01:01they're in a terrible mess because they've been lying to the American people because they have

01:05been lying about what his situation is. They have been lying about his competency. But this didn't

01:10just start last week or last Friday. They have been lying to us for years and years and years

01:15as to his qualifications, his mental state, his physical state and his ability to do the job.

01:20He wasn't fit for this job when he ran for it four years ago. Yet again, I'm going to say it.

01:27The press and the Democrats have been lying to us about his cognitive abilities. And so, now they're

01:32in this situation trying to figure out what do we do. I think we ought to care about the United

01:36States of America. I think we ought to be looking at who is making the decisions, these momentous

01:41decisions that should be being made by the President or at least Congress and they're being

01:46made by, again, unelected bureaucrats. You are bringing up two questions that you have. One,

01:53if President Biden isn't making these decisions, who is? And two, you have other questions about

01:58President Biden's health. So, as a member of Congress, is there any way that you can seek

02:03additional information? Well, I don't know the answer to that question right now. I think that

02:10in light of the fact that the dam has finally broken and people are questioning what I have

02:16been questioning for months and months and months and months, maybe that is a question that we can

02:21answer. I don't know the answer to that question yet, but as soon as I return to Washington, D.C.,

02:27I can assure you I'm going to be speaking with leadership and asking what is it that we can do

02:32to ensure that we are protecting our republic when we have someone who's clearly an incompetent

02:37at the head of government.
