He brings up Beau a lot. It's obviously a very traumatizing and tragic event in his life. And, you know, I knew Beau a little bit and he was a great guy. Absolutely. And what a horrible, horrible story. But that said... the entire White House apparatus starts attacking Robert Herr. What a cruel, mean man to bring up Beau Biden. How awful. How dare he?

I even heard from a conservative Gold Star mom I know, very conservative, who couldn't believe that Robert Herr would do that to Joe Biden, for whom she didn't vote. And it's not true. He didn't bring it up. Robert Herr and the Justice Department did not respond. They could have responded. They could have released that part of the transcript to show that Biden was wrong.

But that's just not how the Justice Department operates.

In retrospect, what she said aged well and what I said aged poorly. A hundred percent. And I've called Laura Trump and told her that and apologized. What did she say? She said that, well, I don't want to betray an off-the-record conversation, but basically she said that she's not the type of person that she would ever mock anybody's stutter.

And so, I mean, which I said, I have no reason to doubt that. And so, look, she was right and I was wrong.

I can point to times where, you know, I asked him this or I asked him that or I pointed this out to this person or whatever, but knowing what I know now
