The Audacity: New York Times Says That Hur Tapes Reveal What "Many Suspected" But Which Democrats -- Just Democrats, Not Their Media Enablers -- Denied

'Watch Me,' Biden Said. But Hearing Him in Hur Interview Is More Revealing.

The former president's halting responses to questions by a special counsel show him exactly as a majority of Americans believed him to be -- and as Democrats repeatedly insisted he was not.
For much of his time in the White House, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. offered a quick rebuttal to those raising concerns about his age: "Watch me," he said.
Yet, in the end, it may be the sound of Mr. Biden's own voice that proves what his aides worked furiously, and spent hundreds of millions of campaign dollars, to try to keep the public from seeing with its own eyes.
The five-hour-and-10-minute audio recording of a special counsel's interview with Mr. Biden on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023, shows a president struggling to recall dates and details, whose thoughts seem jumbled as he tries to recreate events that had occurred just a few years earlier.
The information in the audio recording, which Axios published on Saturday, is not new. The 258-page transcript of the interview of Mr. Biden by Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated his handling of classified documents, was released in March 2024. His report set off a political firestorm in the midst of the president's re-election campaign.
But the sound of Mr. Biden's fragile voice and unsteady responses offers a revelation of its own. The Hur tapes reveal the president exactly as a majority of Americans believed him to be -- and as Democrats repeatedly insisted he was not.
In the days after Mr. Hur released his report, Democrats fanned out across the news media to vouch for the president, assuring the public of their eyewitness vantage point on his deep knowledge and sure-handed command of the nation and the world.
He was "sharp" and at the "top of his game," they said almost in unison. He was "focused, impressive, formidable and effective," as Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, one of the youngest leading Democrats, put it memorably. Biden administration officials declined to release the audio recording of his interview, asserting executive privilege.

Just "Democrats," huh? No media figures joined the cover-up?

But behind the closed doors of the White House's map room, where Mr. Biden answered Mr. Hur's patient queries over the beat of a ticking grandfather clock, the former president offers responses that trail off midsentence and jumbled thoughts that appear unrelated to the question. There are pauses as he struggles for details and extended digressions on the moldings in his home, the importance of Gutenberg's printing press and the storage of his prized Corvette.
In the audio recording, Mr. Hur's conclusion -- that a jury would see Mr. Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" -- is not merely valid, it is irrefutable.
"Well, if it was 2013 -- when did I stop being vice president?" Mr. Biden wonders in a weakened voice, when asked by Mr. Hur to identify papers stored in the home he rented after he left office in 2017. "They didn't get to Wilmington until 2022 or something, right? Or 20-whatever. I don't know."

For Democrats, the audio recording's release puts party leaders in the uncomfortable position of having to reconcile the man heard in Mr. Hur's interview with the forceful president they described in response to their voters' insistent questions.
For months after the election, Democrats hoped to avoid the questions of what they knew and when about Mr. Biden's fitness to serve a second term. Hearing the recording may further a kind of truth-and-reconciliation moment for a party that has only begun to let go of its denials.
It does not take much for Mr. Hur to uncover what Democrats had tried so hard to conceal.
At first, Mr. Biden sounds fairly capable. He describes the binders packed with classified and unclassified information that he read through during his eight years as vice president. And he discusses his goals after leaving that office in 2017, including his desire to remain involved with "consequential" foreign policy matters and cancer research.
Then, about an hour into the recording, Mr. Biden's answers take a sharp turn.
A simple question about the documents that were stored at the Naval Observatory elicits an 11-minute response. It begins with a young Mr. Biden winning an international tort competition in law school, winds through an early legal case involving a 23-year-old man who lost part of his penis in an oil-refinery accident and concludes with Mr. Biden winning a seat on the New Castle, Del., County Council in 1970.
Again and again, Mr. Biden answers the prosecutor not as someone under federal investigation but as an aging politician recounting his life story for posterity.
Like many people as they age, Mr. Biden remains himself. He cracks jokes about his wife looking hot in a bikini and about how he is still a "young man." He displays the flashes of ego and self-aggrandizement that have been staples of his political career, boasting about "fundamentally changing" the nation's strategic position in the Indo-Pacific. And he luxuriates in his own long-winded stories about his political influence, describing being handed an archer's bow by the leader of Mongolia and nonchalantly shooting a bull's-eye.
But now, the details elude him.
Mr. Biden's lawyers step in to supply the date when his son Beau died -- an event that devastated the former president and defined his final years in public life. They remind Mr. Biden of the year that he left the vice president's office and Donald J. Trump was first inaugurated as president.

The New York Times' Peter Baker immediately claimed, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump had leaked the tape to embarrass Biden. He's attempting the standard Democrat-Media trick of attempting to shift the story from the contents of the leak to propriety of the leak.

In fact, he even asserts that Axios should have refused to publish these extremely newsworthy recordings, on prinzibuhl or something.

Weird how they never do this with leaks against Republicans.

Now, while some even on the left are expressing justifiable outrage at the massive deception on someone's part, the media's involvement is hardly questioned at all in the media, despite the book out now from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson which at the very least suggests incuriosity or failure to notice things among American mainstream journalists during the time that American voters were definitely noticing them.
Baker, himself a White House correspondent mind you, never broke any news about Biden's age. He contributed to a wishy-washy article at the NYT last year covering some "they said, they said" over Biden's competence that ultimately left the reader with the conclusion that "sure, he's old, but also, not that [old] though."
He and Yale professor Natasha Sarin spoke with MSNBC's Alex Witt on Saturday, and briefly touched on the subject to equally underwhelming effect.
Witt introduced the subject not with a question about what Baker knew as a White House correspondent, or what he did or does believe about Biden's competence then or now. Instead, the MSNBC host opened by saying, with a full SMH tone of voice, "Why release the full audio now? I mean, it's after the fact. And do we know how Axios got the tapes?"
Baker, who, again, is a White House correspondent, offered implied criticism of Axios for the distasteful accepting of the audio tapes from the Trump administration, gave some verbal side-eye to Tapper and Thompson, and said the audio of an American president which not only exonerates Hur but gives a living voice to the ongoing process of exposing the cover-up -- of that significant piece of historic audio, Baker said it's only obvious purpose is to "embarrass" Biden.
He generously allowed a moment later that hearing the audio does have some limited value in that it helps to explain why Biden didn't have to face any charges as a result of Hur's investigation.

Jonathan Turley questions why Biden was allowed to commit multiple crimes with full Deep State Impunity.

"For posterity's sake." Those words from President Joe Biden sum up the crushing impact of the leaked audiotapes from the interview between then-President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur. Not only did they remove any serious doubt over Biden committing the federal crimes charged against President Donald Trump, but they also constituted what is akin to a political racketeering indictment against much of the Washington establishment.
The interview from Oct. 8-9, 2023, has long been sought by Congress, but was kept under wraps by the government even as Biden campaigned for a second term.
Many of us balked at Hur's conclusion that no charges were appropriate despite the fact that the President removed classified material for decades, stored it in grossly negligent ways, and moved it around to unsecure locations, including his garage in Delaware.
Given President Donald Trump's indictment for the same offenses, it was hard to imagine how the Special Counsel could not recommend the same criminal charges (presumably after he left office).
Instead, Hur declared it would have been hard to get a jury to convict Biden because he was "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
It appears that Trump, on the other hand, was presumptively not sympathetic or well-meaning and possessed a good memory for prosecution.
The contrast was glaring and only reinforced the view of many citizens that there are two tracks for justice in Washington.
Soon after the report's release, President Biden gave an irate press conference in which he lied about the findings of his culpability and lashed out at any suggestion that he had gapped or stumbled in the interview.
For example, when reporters raised how Biden forgot when his son Beau died, Biden angrily responded, "How in the hell dare he raise that?" Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself it wasn't any of their damn business."
However, it was not Hur but Biden himself who raised the death of his son, and he forgot a wide array of dates, including when he served in office.
Nevertheless, media outlets like the Atlantic followed the lead of the White House in attacking Hur for "misleading" the public on Biden's memory.
The interview shows that in 2023 it was clear that Biden was mentally diminished despite claims from many allies and former aides that there was a sudden loss of capacity just before the disastrous debate in 2024. It is now undeniable that the White House staff actively hid the president's incompetence from the American public. That includes questions over the assurances of White House press secretary Jen Psaki (who left her post in May 2022) and Karine Jean-Pierre who portrayed Biden as sharp and running circles around the staff.

Miranda Devine argues the real story here isn't that Biden was senile, which we all knew, but that he was blazingly guilty of having stolen classified documents and "stored" them in completely insecure places, and then playing the Confused Old Man to avoid answering questions about this.

Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
Here's the supposedly full audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur interviewing President Joe Biden.
The segment released last night was cherry-picked to reflect a narrative that supports the Hur/DOJ's convenient conclusion that Biden was guilty but unfit for trial due to his cognitive deficits.
The full audio, by contrast, shows Biden in full command of the facts when it suited him but growing wary and vague and filibustering when he perceived that the prosecutors were building a trap. And in case he didn't detect it, his lawyer Bob Bauer would interrupt to alert him. Merrick Garland and Robert Hur did not want to charge the sitting president, obviously, but they had too much incriminating evidence, such as classified material all over his home and office including from his days as senator, interviews his former aide Kathy Chung and a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, in February 2017, in which Biden said that he had "just found all the classified stuff downstairs" in the basement of his Virginia home.
Hur's ingenious excuse leveraging Biden's cognitive issues got everyone off the hook.
There is much more to this story than the Biden-was-senile cover up. More importantly, Biden was corrupt -- and that is still being covered up.
Why? My guess is it's because the cover-up artists still work in the DOJ and they are now covering up their cover up under the noses of Trump's appointees.

Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
Seriously, has anyone listened to the whole Hur audio? The establishment takeout that this is just about Joe Biden having pudding for brains is lazy and misses the deeper point, which is that the prosecutors had him cold on possessing classified documents he had no right to keep.
Biden lies and dissembles and filibusters and goes vague and mumbly at all the crucial points, with the help of lawyer Bob Bauer, who interrupts every time Joe might incriminate himself and laughs like a hyena when Joe gets feisty or cracks a sarcastic joke at the prosecutors' expense.
It is vintage Biden, nasty, smarmy, and self aggrandizing. He tries to impress the lawyers in the room with exaggerated highlights of his subpar legal career. At one point he boasts about spending Thanksgiving in Nantucket handwriting a memo about Afghanistan to Obama to try to "save his ass". Delusions of grandeur.
You can hear the prosecutors' frustration - they're in a straitjacket and with a strict time limit. He reminds them out of the gate that he has just been on the phone to Bibi Netanyahu talking about the Oct. 7 attack - the previous day -- just so they know they are keeping him from more important business.
Bottom line is he absurdly lies throughout. He denies having kept classified material for his personal use. It is not something he would ever do because he's so upright and honorable.
And yet the prosecutors found reams of it tucked away everywhere in his house, garage, and Penn Center office, along with Biden's recorded admission to his ghostwriter that he had found classified material in his basement he could use for his memoir.
So they had a dilemma. Do they charge the sitting president and label him a pathological liar, causing a massive scandal and constitutional crisis? Or do they use his age and mental fog as an excuse not to charge him? Pretty clear which was the easier path.

I don't know if I buy this "he was just pretending" thing. Yes, he lied and was evasive, but he's clearly also senile. It's incredible that he's being asked about his theft of US top secret documents and instead brags, ludicrously, about impressing Mongolians with his incredible archery skill. He sounds like Kim Il-Jung bragging about shooting a 18 in a round of golf.

30 The long, rambling answer he gave was deliberate evasion, not befuddled old man unsure of what day it is.

The rambling answer in the clip I heard was, IIRC, in response to "when did you find the docs in your basement?"

And, assisting Biden in the deception, Hur never--not once--re-directs Biden back to the question.
Instead, he helpfully provides, or let's his lawyers provide, clarifying dates and details.

But not once does he say, "and that's when you discovered the documents?"

Nope.

This is the work of a skilled prosecutor intentionally sandbagging his case to build the impossible prosecution standard he wanted.

The "Plan A" was to hide Biden's cancer diagnosis, have him beat Trump, then step down just a few months after taking office, and let Kamala serve out the next four years, then get re-elected for four more.

But Biden's on-air stroke and obvious Alzheimer's made them panic and shift to "Plan B," which was to shaft the Demo primary voters and usher her in as the candidate without a primary at all, as Biden steps aside early.

They assumed that the unstoppable election fruad mlachines in all the Swing States would push her over the top, as usual.

But Trump instead won by massive 15+ percentage pint margins in all the swing states and their 5% -10% vote fraud just wasn't enough.

But ultimately this was always all about Kamala, not about Biden

Yet they had no such qualms or hesitation when charging Trump for the exact same "crime."

And--let's not forget--Trump had a legal right to possess the documents as President:
Biden never, ever, ever had any clearance or right to possess the documents.

A sailor sit in jail today for taking one picture of some pipes and such in a hallway of a submarine.
Yet Biden knowingly illegally steals and keep thousands of classified documents?

And you know the really biggest fucking point of all this?
At no point in the "prosecution" was the testimony of Biden ever necessary.
Not one element of the hundreds of crimes he committed the moment he took the classified documents require "did the defendant know the act was a crime?"
See above, did the sailor know taking the photo was a crime? Does. Not. Fucking. Matter.

So the "kindly, old confused man" was an intentional fabrication and destruction of the case for a lie to absolve him.

In fact teachers are vastly overpaid. They work 6 hours a day, they get 3-4 months vacation, they get incredible benefits and ridiculously generous retirement packages, with the ability to retire at 55. So while their salary may be $60k a year their true income is more like $150k if you look at it holistically.

107 Given President Donald Trump's indictment for the same offenses, it was hard to imagine how the Special Counsel could not recommend the same criminal charges (presumably after he left office).

- Turley

————

I think Trump was not charged with the same offenses. If you recall they had to reach all the way back to some 1916 law about giving enemy countries USA military information. That’s what they charged Trump with not mishandling classified information under a different law. That’s what I recall.

And they did that so they could say everything was fair because Trump wasn’t being charged just like Biden wasn’t charged for mishandling classified documents.

In my corporate job the assumption is that if I know something I can teach my coworkers. And that assumption is generally correct.

So why do we require a 4+ year college degree to teach kids Algebra? Hell, below the high school level they should just offer a 1 year on the job training course where you co-teach with a more experienced teacher.

At the high school level their should be a requirement you know what you are teaching - if you are a chemistry teacher you need to have experience in working as a chemist. And especially offer this to people in industry looking to semi-retire by dropping out of the corporate/research track and picking up a teaching job. Then the kids will get taught by people that not only know the general topic but specifically how chemistry, or physics, or biology, etc are used in the real world.

139 127 In fact teachers are vastly overpaid. They work 6 hours a day, they get 3-4 months vacation, they get incredible benefits and ridiculously generous retirement packages, with the ability to retire at 55. So while their salary may be $60k a year their true income is more like $150k if you look at it holistically.

I won't take the bait bc I know this is pointless to debate here, but if that was really the case there wouldn't be a teacher shortage. I know the meme here is they barely do anything and they get showered with benefits, and that is true in some blue states. A better solution would be to drop the BA requirement.
---------------------------------
The BA requirement isn't the worst - the teacher 'certification' is the problem. It's legal slavery in most instances and complete indoctrination, not education.

Wrong. Kamala was always insurance against Biden being toppled. Nobody wanted Kamala in actual office.

The Coup wanted an open convention. Biden forced their hand by endorsing Kamala and the campaign died when the plotters couldn't swing evicting her too.

From the point of view of the Deep State is that Kamala for all her incompetence was still a person that in real authority could fire them all one by one and put in her own people. Biden and Jill were in too weak a position to fire anyone in the Deep State.

156 A big part of the shortage of teachers is that students are... not respectful or even interested in what teachers have to say. So that's a cultural problem, largely driven by poor parenting combined with establishment pressure.

Kids are raised to think that they know all the right answers and know everything, are special chosen ones who will save us, THEY ARE WHO WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. So who cares what the teacher says?

Then there's an entire slice of American society trained to hate and disregard white people at best, beat and kill them if possible, and let no one ever "disrespect" you.

People who might be teachers just don't want any part of that kind of classroom.

Watching them scramble to craft a new lie to run from the old lie--they've not had to do that before.

Teaching is a terrible job.

Not because teaching is hard. It's actually pretty easy.

But children are not allowed to be disciplined. Children are allowed to threaten the teachers and then return to the same classroom.

In the 1970s, teachers rightly could expect that keeping order in the classroom would be simple. A few paddlings and children behave.

Their age within the class year. It's almost 100% the youngest cohort in the grade that get "diagnosed".

207 Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer
With the Brooklyn Bridge strike last night:

I’m fighting for answers about whether Trump and DOGE have impacted water traffic control.

We know they’ve been meddling with U.S. Coast Guard staffing.

Trump relieved Admiral Linda Fagan as Commandant of the USCG, and that position is still vacant.

And the hiring freeze has limited the ability for the USCG to staff up the Vehicle Traffic Service, that’s their traffic control operation that acts like Air Traffic Control but on water.

We need action for our national security, infrastructure protection, and public safety.

... we all know that eventually, the media will figure out that Joe Biden would have been just fine if not for ... DONALD TRUMP

I suppose it was DONALD TRUMP who made Chuck Schumer such an a hole.

But he hasn't, and only his innermost circle, just a couple people, know.

But wait! There's a cure, some outlier in some big pharma lab somewhere, developed and tested a cure, and of course, this becomes the world's best kept secret.

The deep state knows and cannot let him die, because the veep is a jackass worse than Harris. A general meets with the prez, one on one, gives him the pill, says he has to take it. And not to tell ANYONE.

Yeah but the midterms are a lot more difficult, time consuming, and expensive to hack. They will try to, like they did the last six congressional elections, target specific states that they think they can get close, and do endless recounts and slow reveals until they can get the vote count they want.

I've read that the real takeaway, the one by Miranda Devine, is that Hur and his team had all the goods on Biden for classified docs, and that Biden seemed to go all confused-old-guy and ramble, when sensing entrapment, and killing the clock with meaningless rambling, while his lawyer would step in every single time needed, to deflect the questions, answering for Biden.

It depicts Biden as a cunning liar when he needs to lie, and as an addled old fool in between the lies.

Now I bet rebuilding help from the US and Russia would be a good deal for both sides to get the devistated areas in the ceded areas and the rest of Ukraine back to productivivty ASAP.

I think they're actually both process, as in judiciary process, rulings. The 7-2 definitely was. It was poorly written and could have just ended things, but it was essentially telling the 5th Circuit, "maintain a waiting period while you figure out merits".

The 8-1 may be merits because the statute is very clear that DHS has every authority to remove the class in question for any reason.

My fifth grade teacher would pick up the boys causing trouble by the scruff of their shirts and hold them in the air. He would also wait till the kids had their hands nowhere near the desks and slam down the open top desks very loudly. No teacher could do that now.

338 My dad was a HS public school teacher in the late 60s / early 70s. Had a Maaters Degree. He told me then, people don't go into teaching to make money. That was true then and society and the union changed that.

I'd say your dad is still right. They don't go for money, they go to corrupt the next generation for political gain in repressing minorities or now for sexual gratification and programming.

339 Nobody is going to resurrect Biden's image. The only ones who would even try are Democrats and they hate him now because he failed.

Resurrecting him would mean Democrats would have to admit they are not just stupid but liars and they won't do that.

Joe is going under the bus and staying there.

For sure, and the butts in seats gets the cash is a large part of the problem.

That teachers and unions fight so hard against alternatives that corrects the butts in seats financial incentive to maintain the failing system belies their pleas that they're just there to help the children.

That, and/or they are just not that bright as a class as to be able to noodle out that cause and effect on their own.

According to Dave Ramsay, a giant survey he did of US millionaires shows that being a teacher is in the top 5 professions. Where he goes wrong is that he attributes it to teachers being "planners".

Talk about an incentive to maintain the status quo.

Unless I was president. Then there'd be an executive order: "not one thin dime goes for this old pervert's burial, unless it's me chucking him off the beltway from The Beast. His trailer trash whelps can bury him with a fistful of his pilfered lucre."

People may be misunderstanding this ruling. SCOTUS removed an injunction that prohibited Trump from revoking TPS status for Venezuelans. This means that some 350,000 Venezuelans will now be subject to deportation.

Afghans, Haitians, and probably others are also here under TPS. I assume this ruling gives the administration clear sailing to revoke them, too.

344 For Biden it will be respect the office. For trump it will be “he was impeached and a convicted felon, sorry no official funeral”. You know it’s coming.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at May 19, 2025 03:27 PM (7YTFo)

Trump's family can refuse the state funeral and have one of their own. But this future Dem admin may be very different. This insanity can't go on with DOGE stripping the money, and states implementing their own DOGEs.

345 Nope. Action Jackson.

Yeah. The other hard left justices still have enough integrity as a judge to rule on the law when its pretty clear, but she's not only dumber than they are, but so much an ideological zealot the law means nothing to her

346 And I could see that in Biden and had to listen to everyone lying to my face about how he was strong and smart and energetic and capable.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

I am so sorry that happened to your mom - it is such a cruel disease. The biggest insult to the American people that I see is that they pretend that we don't have eyes and ears. They pretend that we don't have elderly relatives that we've cared for and seen the ravishing effects of this disease. Their contempt of the American people - both Democrats and the media is astounding. To this day they continue to lie about their lies. They have no souls.

I get the feeling these votes are rigged these days. Too many 1 dissenter decisions where the particular dissenter is a different person, or an R joining a D to make it less partisan looking. Whatever games Roberts is playing to keep his norms is pretty frayed and thin.

350 The Mongolians gave his granddaughter a horse during the visit.
Doubtful it appeared on the State Department's official gift receipt list for the year. (Remember, if nothing they also knew how to pass wealth through the women of the family.)

Further, as an evil and demented old pr*ck, he was also able to make a decision to release PDT's official records from the National Archives to further investigations against him.

They also knew Biden had a cancer diagnosis since C19, when he slipped and publicly mentioned it. See Newsweek, 'Joe Biden Had Prostate Cancer While President, His COVID Advisor Says'

How was the country being ran; the military directed and controlled, bills legally signed, yada, yada? Congress and the cabinet for starters, the progressive billionaires who ran in and out of the White House and covered family vacations, etc for others.

351 What’s the point of this novel Boomerang, that there is this pill, Nitcemrevi, that will cure cancer, but we can’t let anyone know about it, because then people will just willy-nilly cure their own cancers and won’t need any doctors? That’s the plot?!
