What does Jake Tapper say about Biden's cognitive decline?
CNN's Jake Tapper admitting legacy media needs to do some soul-searching over their coverage of the very obvious cognitive decline of President Joe Biden.
Alina Hopper wanted me to admit to doing something that I did not do, and I was not going to do that.
What charges does the New Jersey Democrat Congresswoman face?
A New Jersey House Democrat facing charges following an altercation at an ICE detention center earlier this month. New voices in the courtroom. Witnesses take the stand in the criminal case against Sean Diddy Combs, shedding light on what they say really happened. and Marco Rubio battles with Democrat senators in a fiery hearing. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
What new details emerged in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial?
I would like to introduce you to a new brand of Angus beef. You can order it directly from Riverbend Ranch, which is located just a few miles from West Yellowstone, Montana. Riverbend Ranch raises their cattle a lot differently than most ranches. For example, they never use artificial growth hormones or antibiotics.
How did Marco Rubio defend foreign aid in the Senate hearing?
They track the health of every animal from the day it is born and can guarantee that it has been healthy every day of its life. And they handle their animals humanely and with respect. But most important is the quality of the beef. You'll find it as tender and flavorful as the finest restaurants. And that's because they have spent the last 35 years selecting cattle for tenderness and flavor, aging their beef to perfection for 21 days. The result is some of the most tender and flavorful beef you have ever tasted. You cannot buy beef like this in a grocery store. And since it is shipped directly from the ranch to your home, you get a much better price than going through the middlemen. Order directly from RiverbendRanch.com. Use promo code Megan to get 20 bucks off your first order. That's RiverbendRanch.com, code Megan. And be prepared. Once you taste it, you're going to be coming back for more. Again, that's RiverbendRanch.com, code Megan.
CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson joining The Megyn Kelly Show on Tuesday for their first extended interview, promoting their new book, Original Sin. The book, citing interviews with more than 200 Democrat insiders and Biden White House staffers, details the behind-the-scenes efforts to conceal the true state of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline, including threatening or retaliating against reporters who dared to question Mr. Biden's mental fitness. Many in legacy media caving to that pressure or not needing any pressure at all to protect Mr. Biden, ignoring what was apparent to this listening audience for years. President Biden was undergoing significant cognitive decline. your humble reporter questioning Mr. Tapper on his role in the cover-up. It could only ever work if you allowed it, if the press allowed it.
Some of us tried not to, and some of us were complicit.
The Biden White House did not like me, okay? This is, I do not have great connections with the Biden White House.
What does the book 'Original Sin' reveal about Biden's presidency?
Well, clearly you have a lot of sources. You say you talked to over 200 sources for this book. You have some you could have called and worked.
No, that's the point, is that they were not being honest.
Well, how did the Wall Street Journal get it in June of 2024? And Jake Tapper and CNN couldn't find sources for this story then before he dropped out?
Annie Linsky and Siobhan Hughes did an amazing job in their reporting. And they should be heralded. And I heralded them. I had them on my show right after the debate to talk about their great reporting.
But you did not put them on when they published that story, which was before the debate.
Correct. If we're going to do this, let's just stick to the facts here, okay?
Jake, that's what I've been doing all along. One of us didn't miss the biggest story of the century when it comes to presidential politics, and one of us did. Mr. Tapper called the book reporting process humbling, admitting that he should have pushed harder on the Biden White House and revealing he called Lara Trump to apologize for dismissing her 2020 concerns about Mr. Biden's cognitive decline.
