Speaker 1: When Republicans start to control things, politics gets very stupid in the
United States. That's something we are very quickly learning and we have a new scandal.
Is that even the right word? A scandal involving classified documents and Joe Biden when he was
vice president? Let me tell you what's going on. And then let me tell you what these right
wing clowns are saying. CNN reports classified documents from Joe Biden's time as vice president
discovered in a private office. What exactly happened? Here's a CNN report explaining it.
Speaker 2: These were documents the White House says, that were found by the former president,
by the current president's attorneys in November as they were closing out an office that the former
vice President Biden, of course, had set up in office with the University of Pennsylvania
at the PEN Biden Center here in Washington. And they were closing out these offices when
they found what they say were fewer than a dozen documents that were labeled as classified. Now,
a number of these documents were also subject to the Presidential Records Act. And according to the
White House, these were now turned over to the National Archives, which has asked the Justice
Department to look into it. Now, we're told now, Jake, that the that the attorney general, Merrick
Garland, has asked the U.S. attorney in Chicago to conduct a review of these document documents,
which is a standard process that they would go through. This is akin to the process that
happened after the National Archives asked the Justice Department to look into these classified
materials that were recovered from Mar a Lago from the former President Trump's residence. So it is a
process that the Justice Department recently went through, obviously, with Donald Trump. Of course,
the difference here is that according to the White House, it was the president's legal team
that reached out to narrow to turned over these documents as opposed to with Trump, who fought
for months and months not to turn over documents that the archives said needed to be turned over.
Speaker 1: So that's one critical difference. But there are actually a number of other critical
differences. Misplacing and stealing documents are not, in fact, the same thing. Now investigate
everything. Investigate this. I don't know anyone on the left who's saying don't investigate,
but misplacing and stealing documents are dramatically different things. It doesn't
matter to a lot of these right wingers who are immediately saying things like, for example,
what Marjorie Taylor GREENE said last night on Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson's program.
Speaker 3: Well, this is a huge story. It's very serious. As a matter of fact,
Joe Biden conceivably stole those documents. Speaker 1: Conceivably is doing some heavy
lifting in that statement. Speaker 3: What people need to
understand is the president of the United States is the only one that can declassified documents,
not the vice president, for Joe Biden to steal documents, possession of them.
This is a serious investigation. And the communist at an era can't hide it anymore.
Speaker 1: And now there's no communists at Nara. Speaker 3: Garland and the Department of Justice.
They have to be held accountable if they don't treat Joe Biden exactly the same
way they're treating President Trump. Speaker 1: Yeah, they should be treated
the same way in that the facts should be evaluated by law enforcement. Now,
it's really important to understand this story. These documents were in a locked closet.
Joe Biden's attorneys found them, immediately, contacted the National Archives. Remember,
with Trump, it was throw all this crap in a box, take it to my house at Mar a Lago. Here you had
documents that were misplaced. And as soon as they were found, rather than trying to hide and
keep the documents, Biden's lawyers proactively reach out to the National Archives. Dramatic
difference from what we saw with Trump. And then they were handed over to the archives the next day
as opposed to fighting for months, lying and claiming that you turned them over. You
didn't being caught on tape moving them between locations while still not turning them over,
barely comparable. I'm consistent, investigated. It's being investigated. I
love that. Let's investigate this. And hey, you know what? If Joe Biden's house needs to have
a search, a search warrant served as a result. Go ahead and do it. I'm not getting in the way.
But of course, we know that the circumstances are completely different now. It doesn't matter
to them, to people like Marjorie Taylor GREENE, to whoever. It doesn't matter. They want to say,
hey, this is the exact same thing Trump did, and he's being treated differently. Actually,
he's being treated the same. It's being investigated. It's the circumstances that are
completely different. I hope you're all buckled in for two years of this because this is what
the next two years are going to be like and it'll be Hunter Biden. Maybe they'll go back to Hillary
and Benghazi. They might investigate Obama's tan suit. It's going to be that sort of stuff.
And when Marjorie Taylor GREENE is shifting into being seen as a sort of de facto spokesperson for
the center of power of the Republican Party, you know, it's going to get really stupid. Tomorrow,
