air on TV come join us on radio talk about the economy inflation. The Biden plan such
as it exists et cetera. But we
begin with the story today.
That I find intriguing and odd.
I wrote about it today, a town
hall dot com. And if you’re
intrigued like I am you can go
and read about it on the tip
sheet. President
Joe Biden.
Has exhibited throughout his
entire adult life.
It’s almost I might say
pathological. To lie
or embellish
or exaggerate details about his
life and his biography. Now
most politicians Feb and
exaggerate that’s a fact of
life. And I’m not talking
here about policy or political
lies. We address those all the
time.
Joe Biden lies about his
tax plan and the implications
of what he wants to do on tax
hikes. We correct the record
he’s not telling the truth.
He lied about Afghanistan and
the conditions under which we
would or would not withdraw all
American troops. There’s a
consequential also it’s.
There are also political lies
for example, NBC News this week
at a story that we discussed at
length on the show about the
chaos and divisions inside the
White House. And one minor
detail was that Biden gets
regularly at least weekly
briefed on polling. And Biden
said publicly and he doesn’t
read the polls at all so that’s
not a joke. Not a joke folks.
I was just a lie.
Of course you reach the polls,
he’s actually obsessed over the
polls. If you read this NBC
News story.
Those are all for better or for
worse, I’m not defending them
at all we we know drill down on
them here.
Lies or shading of the truth or untruths we’re told tales. For political reasons that you
see from various political
actors on the regular
Republican Democrat across the
board.
What I’m talking about here is
different.
Particularly shameless.
And I would say above all else
it’s really weird. It’s really
weird.
How Joe Biden over and over and
over again just makes
things up about things that he
has done in his life things
that have happened to him in
his life things that are just
not true.
What sparked this whole thought
which.
Catalyzed the piece that I’ve
written a town hall dot com.
For the kickoff to this.
Was over the long weekend the
president gave the commencement
address at the Naval Academy.
At the very beginning of his
speech he told a quick anecdote
about his own life in his own
connection to the Naval Academy
in Annapolis Maryland. Cut 29,
here’s the very short snippet.
>> I was appointed to the
academy. In
1960. File.
Who I was running against in
1972.
>> Any went on to tell the
story.
And how he didn’t end up going
to Annapolis but if he had he
would have been
deployed and you couldn’t have
run against the senator in
1972, he wouldn’t have won.
Because he’s been in
Washington.
Most of it in the U.S. Senate
for decades as we all know.
And some political reporters
who are watching the speech
said gosh that’s a story we
haven’t heard before. It may be
that in here before because
it’s not true. It can’t be
true.
At the very
least Biden miss remember to
confuse the dates it could not
have been 1965.
The terminology of being
appointed to the Naval Academy
people have disputed that
saying no that is absolutely
not what happened here. It’s
not stolen valor but it’s sort
of adjacent to that it’s in the
neighborhood.
He went on to the University of
Delaware instead he told that
story but
he did not get appointed to the
Naval Academy in 1965 just
didn’t happen.
Now that might seem like a very
small thing it’s certainly not
the most important thing
happening in America right now.
But it feeds into this pattern.
These serial embellishments or untruths. Here are
2 more examples of quite a few.
Some people might lie. On the
topic of getting arrested
Beilein that they did not get
arrested. In order to get a job
or what have you. On
multiple occasions has lied
that he did get arrested.
When in fact he was not
arrested for example,
he said several times that he
was arrested with Nelson
Mandela. In apartheid South
Africa. Here’s an example
cut 30. This day.
>> 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela
walked out of prison and then
are the discussions about
apartheid. I the great honor of
meeting him
either great honor been
arrested with our
un ambassador and the streets
of Soweto trying to get the
same in Robbins Island.
>> This is the story that he
told on the campaign multiple
times that he got arrested
while in South Africa visiting
Mandela. Because he was down
for the cars, Joe Biden.
So some fact checkers looked
into it.
And the Washington Post called
the claims ridiculous and gave
him 4 pinocchios and eventually
he had to back off saying well
what I meant was I got briefly
separated.
>> Separated is not the same
word is arrested. Obviously we
all understand that he used the
word arrested for extra
emphasis in power. Even though
it wasn’t true.
In kut 39, he also bragged that
he was arrested during the
civil rights movement in the
United States listen.
>> Because I’m so old I was
there as well.
They got good man.
Seems like yesterday the first
time I got to rest any way.
>> And he told that story a
couple times got arrested.
During the civil rights era.
Didn’t happen for more
pinocchios rep pinocchios on
these stories from the
Washington Post even politifact
which is a Democrat aligned
fact checker call that one
false.
And the list goes on to Petty
or stuff. Biden talked about
how much he enjoyed teaching
when he was a professor at the
University of Pennsylvania.
In fact he was paid a million
dollars for that position.
He never taught a class.
That would at least has some
semblance of truth to it.
Others not so much.
Biden said he was a truck
driver professionally at one
point in his life cut 33.
I stand.
He did this job for part of a summer got his license is a truck driver. Awesome says the
guy who’s talking to
is pushing an infrastructure
package in this context so he
wants to say let his work
around these blue collar people
I was a truck
>> wow.
>> There’s no record that he
was ever a truck driver.
And asked for any specifics or
details or prove there has been
none offered. Politifact again
left-leaning politifact called
that claim false.
Here’s another strange want to
get weird. You can call it
shameless you can call it
pathological I’ve used those
adjectives as well more than
anything to me it is weird.
Biden was talking about Idaho
and Howie interviewed for his
first job ever in Idaho cut 34.
They got it.
>> I my first job offer we’re
want my wife to see his wife
and I want to move to Idaho
because we think Mojo it’s a
beautiful beautiful state.
And I interviewed for a job
with poise the cascade.
>> He likes to say not a joke
which might be the tip-off that
whatever he’s saying isn’t
true. Someone looked into this.
They asked the company.
Which had to then put out a
statement saying we have no
record. President Biden and
his application or of him
having worked for the company.
We checked the system
internally turned up nothing.
On a more serious note.
You might recall that in
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in
2018. There was a horrible
shooting at the tree of life
synagogue in Pittsburgh.
Went in to kill as many Jews as he could. Subsequently president Biden
was talking about the time that
he remembered going to visit
the tree of life synagogue
after that terrible event cut
35.
>> I remember
spending time.
>> At the you know go
going to.
>> The you know the tree of
life synagogue speaking with
them at just it just is amazing
these things are happening.
>> I remember spending time
going to the tree of life
synagogue. New
York Post. Look into it.
The executive director of the
synagogue. So that Biden had
not visited.
In the nearly 3 years since the
anti-semitic attack took this
story came out in 2021. They
asked are
you sure was Biden ever here
was he ever at this house of
worship. And the executive
director responded quote with a
firm, no.
So there’s an invented memory.
Or at least a story that he
decided to tell.
To I guess make things more
emotional.
The
emotional. The details being almost ancillary.
Terms of like the truthfulness
of them.
This one I find
disconcerting we know that
Biden has grieved. Loved ones
in
his life. He has experienced
traumatic loss his son beau
before that his first wife and
his young daughter in
an accident. There’s no
question that that happened
that Israel he is drawing on
that experience to come from
other people who are hurting I
think that’s admirable. But for
many years Biden would tell the
story about that accident.
The truck driver who was
involved. And he would say that
the driver was drunk.
That turned out to be
absolutely false and incorrect.
According to the Police
Department the police report.
Local officials a judge weighed
in saying no. This is not a
drunk driving situation.
In fact Biden’s former wife
accidentally drove into the
path of the truck it was a
terrible accident. The guy was
not drunk. There were no
charges filed. But over and
over again for years Biden
called the guy a drunk driver.
And this man’s family has been
desperately asking him to stop
stop tarnishing in smearing
the legacy of our dad, her
husband or her. Uncle that sort
of thing. But Biden said it
over and over again for
dramatic effect what do you
have to embellish anything
about something that’s at
already.
Then there was of course the whole plagiarism scandal which derailed Biden is first
presidential run of 3 1988.
He had plagiarized a British
politician’s speech which then
revealed that he had
plagiarized a few other
speeches while he was a
politician then eventually he
was forced to admit that
he plagiarized pages worth of
material when he was in law
school and the whole thing just
sort of cascade. He is very
touchy about this
people bring it up he angrily
denied it until he couldn’t
anymore.
I have never seen this clip, it
is.
Someone asked him a question on
the campaign trail about this
and sort of suggested that
maybe Joe Biden isn’t that
bright.
And Biden bristled and got very
very defensive. And one on this
whole long rant about how smart he is and all the accolades academically that he had earned
through the years. One after
another and it kind of sounds
impressive. So first we’ll
hear Biden yelling at this guy
about how smart he is
and then at the end of the clip
you’ll hear local and national
news reports
about the veracity of what
Biden actually said in
his boasting. Again this clip
if you’ve never seen it is
absolutely amazing cut 37.
>> I went to law school on a
full academic scholarship, the
only one in my
in my class and have a full
academic scholarship went back
to law school and in fact it up
in the top half of my I was the
outstanding student in the
political science department at
the end of my eye graduate with
3 degrees from undergraduate
school 165 credits only 823
credit Biden now concedes he
did not graduate in the top
half of his law school class.
>> That he does not have 3
degrees from college and that
he was not named outstanding
political science student
in college is weeks as Biden
actually went to school and a
half scholarship ended up near
the bottom of his class
and one only one degree not 3
Joe Biden ranked 76th in the
class of 85 at the University
of security Syracuse law
school.
>> Did he say a single thing
that was true.
He was rattling them off like
you had to memorize all these
great things he had done it was
just. Top to bottom start to
finish false. Made up.
Which only deepen his problem.
Repeatedly serially through the years he has done this. And all it did was make him a
mainstay in the U.S. Senate and
then vice president the United
States and then president of
the United States campaigning
on a platform of truth compared
to the last guy.
Say what you will about Joe
Biden or his policies.
He should have never been taken
seriously on the honesty front
for just some of the reasons
that we have just read
capitulated for you. It is
taken together amazing and as I
say more than anything else
