Biden fails to remember when son Beau died and Trump’s election year in leaked Hur interview audio
Leaked audio shared by Axios from President Joe Biden’s 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur has re-ignited serious questions about his mental sharpness, especially as he struggled to remember when his own son died and when Donald Trump was elected president. In one moment, Biden tries to recall the death of his son, Beau: “My son. Is either been deployed or is dying. And so… What was happening though?” “What’s much about dying? May 30, 2015, he died,” said Biden. “May 2015. I think it’s 2015. I’m not sure the months are, but I think that was it.” BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW Beau Biden passed away from brain cancer on May 30, 2015, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was 46. In the audio, Biden also mixes up the year of Trump’s 2016 victory: “Trump gets elected in November of 2017. 2016. 2016. So… That’s when we left office, January of 2017. But that’s when Trump gets sworn in manually.” The fumbling recollections are part of a six-hour interview that Hur used to support his conclusion that Biden’s memory was “significantly limited.” The White House kept the audio under wraps at the time as critical moments in Biden’s own life and in recent American history appeared to be completely out of reach for the former president. AXIOS REPORTER PUSHES BACK ON BIDEN’S DENIAL OF MENTAL DECLINE, SAYING WHITE HOUSE INSIDERS DISAGREE The conversation, part of a two-day interview in October 2023, led Hur to describe Biden as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” On Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle Friday night, host Laura Ingraham put it bluntly: “This is the biggest scandal that I remember in recent political history: that this man was allowed to continue as the commander in chief of the world’s greatest superpower.” Panelist Francey Hakes added, “I’m not sure Joe Biden was capable of ordering dinner for himself, much less ordering airstrikes or anything else the commander in chief might have to do.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP As Ingraham said later in the segment, “We still don’t really know who was making the tough calls. It obviously wasn’t the man we heard on that tape.”
Conservatives react to leaked Biden audio on social media: ‘This is painful’
Leaked audio from a 2023 interview between then-President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur surfaced on Friday, revealing significant memory lapses and cognitive challenges. The audio recordings, obtained by Axios, depict Biden struggling to recall key dates, including the year his son Beau died and the year Donald Trump was elected president. The audio leaks have intensified criticisms over Biden’s mental fitness and prompted reactions from conservative commentators and political figures on social media site X. BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk called for further scrutiny toward Democrats, writing X, “Nobody can listen to it without concluding that every Democrat working with Biden HAS to have known he was completely feeble as a commander in chief.” Fox News contributor Guy Benson called the audio “Painful.” “I couldn’t keep listening. The smears of Hur and the defenses of Biden look even worse,” Benson said. Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones III called for accountability, writing on X, “We need a Biden commission. The entire cabinet and White House staff must be sworn under oath.” Former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro commented on the administration’s reluctance to release the audio, saying, “This is painful…No wonder Biden’s DOJ wouldn’t release it.” HUR TRANSCRIPT CONFIRMS BIDEN MEMORY LAPSES, CONTRADICTS PRESIDENT’S CLAIM ABOUT EXCHANGE OVER SON’S DEATH Fox News contributor and radio host Hugh Hewitt highlighted the national security implications, stating, “Do not blame the president for aging quickly and poorly. But everyone involved in the cover-up put the country at risk because what we knew, all of our country’s enemies knew. They probably knew much of what we, the citizens, didn’t. The 25th failed.” Jake Schneider with the White House Rapid Response team emphasized prior warnings about Biden’s fitness, writing on X, “We tried to tell you. We literally spent years trying to tell you. Please stop acting shocked that Biden was senile, incompetent, and unfit for office.” Ambassador and Chief of Protocol to the U.S. Monica Crowley labeled the situation the “BIGGEST SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Brit Hume, Chief Political Analyst for the Fox News Channel reminded everyone, saying “As you read this thread, recall all the crap Biden partisans said about Robert Hur at the time.”
Biden admits keeping classified Afghanistan document ‘for posterity’s sake’ in leaked audio
Former President Joe Biden, in newly leaked audio of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur, admitted he likely kept a classified document related to Afghanistan after he left the vice presidency for “posterity’s sake.” Biden first said he didn’t recall why he had the document when asked about it by Hur, who told him it was found in the library of his lake house. “I don’t know that I knew,” that he had the document, Biden answered, “but it wasn’t something I would have stopped to think about.” Hur noted that Bob Woodward and Jules Witcover both wrote about the document in their books about him, asking if he wanted to hang onto it because it might be the subject of reporting or “history.” BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW “I guess I wanted to hang on to it for posterity’s sake. I mean, this was my position on Afghanistan. I’ve been of the view from a historical standpoint that there are certain points in history, world history, where fundamental things change using technology,” he said. “So, there are a lot of things that I think are fundamentally changing how international societies function, and they relate a lot to technology.” After the 80-year-old continued on that subject for a while, Hur interrupted him to get back to the topic of the document. “No, I’m sorry, that’s why I wanted it,” Biden answered. “It had nothing to with Afghanistan.” One of the former president’s lawyers then interrupted Hur to say, “For the purposes of a clean record,” he wanted to avoid “getting into speculative areas,” mentioning that Biden at first answered the question about the document by saying he didn’t recall why he had it. At that point, Hur answered, “I think we should take a break.” In other sections of the audio, Biden seems confused, asking what year his son, Beau Biden, died, and what year he left the vice presidency. HOUSE JUDICIARY SUES GARLAND FOR BIDEN AUDIO THAT HUR SAYS SHOWS HIM AS ‘ELDERLY MAN WITH A POOR MEMORY’ The audio, related to an investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents while vice president, came out after more than a year of congressional lawmakers demanding its release amid questions about the former president’s memory lapses and mental acuity. The House Judiciary Committee sued Attorney General Merrick Garland in July for the audio recordings, stressing the importance of the “verbal and nonverbal context” of Biden’s answers that could be provided by the audio recordings, especially considering Hur opted against charging Biden after the interview, partly because Biden was viewed as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The committee argued at the time that the audio recordings, not merely the transcripts of them, are “the best available evidence of how President Biden presented himself during the interview.” That lawsuit was filed before Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in July after he struggled in a June debate with Trump. Biden had exerted executive privilege over the audio recordings while president. Hur, who released his report to the public in February 2024 after months of investigation, did not recommend criminal charges against Biden for mishandling and retaining classified documents, and he said he would not bring charges against Biden even if he were not in the Oval Office. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Those records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and other countries, among other records related to national security and foreign policy that Hur said implicated “sensitive intelligence sources and methods.” Fox News Digital has reached out to Biden for comment.
Biden’s autopen use questioned amid released audio from Special Counsel Hur interview
GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman and other Republicans are raising concerns about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive functions were well enough to authorize aides to use an autopen tool to sign important documents on his behalf. On Friday evening, Axios released exclusive audio footage of Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, which reveals clues about Biden’s cognitive functioning while president that the interview’s transcript did not elucidate. Biden can be heard slurring his words, muttering and taking long pauses. Meanwhile, Biden also failed to recall the date of his son Beau’s death or the year Trump was first elected. “It questions who was actually making the decisions,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Friday night on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity.” “Clearly, from that interview, which was many, many months prior to the heavy use of the autopen, Joe Biden wasn’t capable of making decisions. He wasn’t coherent.” BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW Earlier Friday, Comer announced a new investigation trying to uncover who gave the orders to use the autopen. According to Comer, among other important things, the autopen tool was used to grant presidential pardons to Biden’s family members. “It does call into question these pardons – the use of autopen, and I think it may actually open the door – I’m not a lawyer – but I’d imagine Trump or his administration may try to make some arguments to federal courts about actions Joe Biden took because now we’ve got more information coming out, and they’re reasonably going to determine, ‘Yeah Joe Biden couldn’t remember anything. He didn’t even know when his son died, or when Trump got elected or when he left office,” political commentator Tim Pool added. ‘TERRIFYING’: BIDEN-HUR AUDIO SHOWCASES FORMER PRESIDENT’S DECLINE CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP “Who was controlling the autopen? Who was pulling the strings? Who were the unelected bureaucrats making decisions that negatively impacted our country?” asked former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advisor Link Lauren. “I want names.” Donald Trump has said he does not use autopen to sign legally binding documents like pardons. In March, a White House official confirmed it was the administration’s policy to use Trump’s hand signature on any legally binding documents.
Biden repeatedly says ‘I don’t remember’ regarding classified documents in newly released Hur interview audio
When asked by special counsel Robert Hur’s co-counsel, Marc Krickbaum, in 2023 about a handwritten memo on Afghanistan during the Obama administration, President Joe Biden said he didn’t “remember” telling Mark Zwonitzer, the ghostwriter of his book, “Promise Me, Dad,” he “just found all the classified stuff downstairs.” In a new audio file released by Axios Friday, Biden said “I don’t remember” numerous times as Krickbaum questioned him on the second day of interviews in October 2023 about having classified documents he should not have had after leaving office. “You said to Mark, ‘I just found all the classified stuff downstairs,’ and, so, you can imagine we are curious what you meant when you said, ‘I just found all the classified stuff downstairs,’” Krickbaum said. BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW “I don’t remember,” Biden replied. “And I’m not supposed to speculate, right?” “Correct,” Biden’s attorney, Bob Bauer, chimed in. “So, OK, well, I don’t remember, and it may have been — I just don’t remember,” the former president mumbled. BIDEN’S TEAM HID THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS HEALTH ALL ALONG: WH PRESS SEC After explaining that he was referring to a conversation with Zwonitzer about a handwritten memo he wrote for former President Barack Obama, Biden replied, “I probably did. I don’t remember specifically, but my guess is I may have done that.” Then, leading to the “classified stuff downstairs” comment, Zwonitzer asked Biden if he had found any documents in his home or if he told Zwonitzer about finding any while they worked together on the book in 2017. Stumbling over his words, Biden replied, “No, the only thing I can remember is I wanted to be clear to him that I didn’t want what he just heard me say about the memo to Barack, even though it wasn’t a top secret thing (indiscernible), I didn’t, I didn’t want any of that mentioned. It was confidential.” He clarified he didn’t mean confidential in the classification sense, but that he did not want it included in the book about his son, Beau. They discussed boxes in the library, hallway and the “back of the garage,” with Biden noting he did not know “where in the hell” all of it was going, but that was the extent of his knowledge of what they contained. “Not like I’m looking for something, like I’m trying to compile things. But just what’d they pack up, what’s here,” Biden said. BIDEN ADMIN OFFICIALS NOTICED STAMINA ISSUES IN PRESIDENT’S FIRST FEW MONTHS IN OFFICE: REPORT While the White House released the transcripts during his presidency, the audio of the interviews remained under wraps, with some speculating about his mental state as the reason. Hur’s investigation, which concluded in 2024, found Biden should not be criminally charged for mishandling and retaining classified documents that detailed military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and other countries, among other national security topics. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP After Hur described the former president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Biden fired back, saying, “I’m well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing. I’ve been president. I put this country back on its feet. I don’t need his recommendation.” Fox News Digital’s Brie Stimson contributed to this report.
Bumpy Weather Over Newark: House Democrats could face consequences for Delaney Hall incident
What’s dicier these days? Flying into Newark Liberty Airport? Or finding yourself near the front gate of an ICE detention center in Newark? To the mind of famous bandleader Raymond Scott – you’re in for “Bumpy Weather Over Newark” either way. That’s one of Scott’s most famous compositions. It ranks right up there with “Powerhouse” and the scores to 120 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. A trio of House Democrats scuffled with federal law enforcement officers last week at Delaney Hall in Newark. It’s possible they could face discipline from the House for the fracas. Or worse. REPUBLICANS STRUGGLE WITH TRUMP’S MIXED SIGNALS ON ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ Fox is told that arrests could be in the offing for Reps. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., Robert Menendez Jr., D-N.J., and Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J. “What happened on May 9th was not oversight. It was a political stunt that put the safety of our law enforcement officers, our agents, our staff, and our detainees at risk,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to a House hearing Wednesday. “The behavior was lawlessness. And it was beneath this body.” Noem should know something about that. She served in the House for eight years. On her way into the hearing, Noem said that an investigation is underway. “I think that arrests are still on the table for this,” said Homeland Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin on Fox. “If it was a typical U.S. citizen and they tried to storm into a detention facility that’s housing dangerous criminals or any person at all, they would be arrested. Just because you are a Member of Congress or just because you’re a public official does not mean you are above the law.” Democrats argue they did nothing wrong. They had a right, under the law, to request an inspection of the facility. That comports with their oversight responsibilities. But House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., assessed videotape of Democrats tangling with federal agents. He determined that wasn’t oversight. “It looked like a battery to me,” said Johnson. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., saw it differently. “There is zero basis to hold any Member of Congress accountable,” said Jeffries. “No videos have been produced suggesting that they’ve engaged in any inappropriate activity. And if those videos existed, certainly they would have been put into the public domain by now. Those videos haven’t been released because they don’t exist.” Chatter about possible arrests or sanctions for the Democrats rattled around Capitol Hill all week. McIver and her aides bowled past a wall of reporters en route to the Noem hearing Wednesday. “Are you worried about being arrested potentially?” asked yours truly. McIver’s aides pushed arms and hands holding microphones out of the way. “Excuse me! Excuse me!” ordered McIver, never breaking stride. “The Speaker has talked about censure, Ms. McIver. Do you have any response to that?” I asked. The Congresswoman disappeared behind a doorway to the House Homeland Security Committee, never responding. TRUMP PUSHES TAX HIKES FOR WEALTHY AS ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ DEADLINE LOOMS Colleague Dan Scully tried valiantly to get McIver to comment on Thursday. But no dice. “(Interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey) Alina Habba said she was going to announce an investigation. Was there any sort of deal made between you and what happened over there? Do you care to comment on that at all?” asked Scully. Silence from McIver. “Has anyone from DOJ reached out to you?” asked another reporter. Crickets. “Congresswoman, do you regret shoving officers? Did you think you would get away with that?” asked another scribe. Nada. “Do you have any comment at all?” queried Scully. It’s doubtful that even the resourcefulness of TV’s MacGyver could have pried loose any response from McIver. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., introduced a resolution to strip McIver, Menendez and Watson Coleman of their committee assignments. “Keep your hands off of Members of Congress,” warned Jeffries. Yours truly followed up with Jeffries at his press conference Tuesday. “What happens if they were to go and arrest these Members, or if they would try to sanction them in the House first?” I asked. “They’ll find out,” replied Jeffries. “What would you do?” I followed up. “They’ll find out,” repeated Jeffries. “What resource?” I countered. “They’ll find out,” he said again. “Doesn’t that broach…?” “They’ll find out.” “Does that go against…?” “That’s a red line,” said Jeffries. “What’s the red line?” I asked. TWO PLANES DO ‘GO-AROUNDS’ TO AVOID MILITARY HELICOPTER NEAR REAGAN WASHINGTON NATIONAL AIRPORT “It’s a red line. It’s very clear. First of all, I think that the so-called Homeland Security spokesperson is a joke. It’s a joke. They know better than to go down that road. And it’s been made loudly and abundantly clear to the Trump Administration. We’re not going to be intimidated by their tactics,” said Jeffries. “There are clear lines that they just dare not cross.” An arrest of these lawmakers would spark a firestorm on Capitol Hill. Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution generally shields lawmakers from charges – so long they as they are conducting official Congressional business. A lawmaker isn’t off the hook if they shoot someone. But the Founders were mindful of how politically-motivated arrests could undercut the work of Congress. So, they crafted what’s known as the “Speech or Debate” clause to inoculate lawmakers when conducting business. “They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place,” reads the provision. “I don’t think that’s Speech and Debate clause,” said Johnson about the rhubarb in Newark. “We have to set a standard here. You cannot have Members of Congress pushing law enforcement officials around and that’s exactly what everybody saw on the videotape.” Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wondered how a
Mace delivers blistering impact statement, shakes hand of trans threat suspect’s father after bond is denied
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., praised a South Carolina judge Friday after bond was denied for the 19-year-old transgender activist accused of threatening to assassinate her. She also shook the hand of the suspect’s father. Samuel Theodore Cain, who identifies as transgender and uses the name “Roxie Wolfe” online, was arrested May 15 by state agents for allegedly posting graphic threats targeting Mace and her children. Cain remains in custody, and a trial date has not been set. The judge cited the seriousness of the threats during a hearing. “Mr. Cain, I do believe that you are a credible threat, and I’m going to put you in on a no bond,” the judge said. “The only condition bond I’m going to put on you right now is no contact with the victim.” EXCLUSIVE: NANCY MACE UNLOADS AFTER ARREST OF TRANS ACTIVIST WHO ALLEGEDLY THREATENED TO ‘ASSASSINATE’ HER Mace flew in from Washington, D.C., to deliver a victim impact statement in court Friday morning and speak to reporters afterward. “I come before you today not just as a victim, but as a sitting member of the United States House of Representatives who has been the target of a direct and credible threat on her life,” she told the judge. She described how the threats forced her to change her routine, seek shelter and request increased law enforcement patrols for her home and congressional offices. “This meant I was vulnerable. My staff was vulnerable. And my children were vulnerable,” she said. “Threats like these are acts of terror meant to shake the foundations of democracy.” REP. NANCY MACE’S ALLEGED ATTACKER PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO INCIDENT ON CAPITOL GROUNDS Outside the courthouse, Mace reflected on Friday’s bond hearing and finally seeing Cain in person. “My first thought was, he’s huge,” she said. “This guy was well over 6 feet, over 200 pounds. I’m 5-foot-6, 115 pounds. He’s twice my size. It was scary. “As a mom, this was heartbreaking. All I could think about was his family. And my kids. My kids live in fear about being murdered.” She said she was surprised but thankful for the judge’s ruling. “I’ve seen how women are treated in this state. I hope this gives women hope,” she said. “If there’s a mentally ill man coming after us, we need to stand up for our rights. That’s what I saw the judge do today.” After the hearing, Mace approached Cain’s family and shook the hand of his father. “I shook the hand of a father whose son threatened to kill me, not out of forgiveness, but out of grace,” she later posted on X. “Strength is about standing your ground and we can be humble with humanity.” “I want to thank Samuel Cain’s family,” she said during her remarks for the media. “Their humility meant a lot to me. As a mom, it meant something to see them show up. We’re all human. But threats like this have to come with consequences.” Mace said the threats were discovered by Capitol Police and were serious enough that her staff and law enforcement begged her to get to a safe location. “This was serious. Nobody knew where he was,” she said. “Law enforcement told me to go inside immediately. That’s how real it was.” She described the toll the threats have taken on her daily life. “I face threats every day. This is the second person this year. But I receive death threats from trans activists and trans people every single day. And not a single U.S. attorney in the state of South Carolina or anywhere in the country has taken them seriously.” She warned that continued inaction could be deadly. “One day, someone’s going to pull the trigger. Someone’s going to get a bullet. Someone’s going to die.” She also highlighted a broader pattern of violence and called out what she sees as a lack of accountability from Democrats. “This case isn’t just about one man’s threats. It’s about a culture that tolerates violence against elected officials, especially women who speak up,” Mace said. “We do not accept terror. The normalization of threats against public servants corrodes democracy from within. “Not one Democrat has spoken up to say it’s wrong,” she added. “Only Democrats blame the victim.” On social media, Mace shared a photo of Cain in an orange jumpsuit. “This is not Roxie Wolfe, this is not a woman, and threatening my life is not a joke. Look at his smirk,” she posted. Mace ended her statement in court with a final plea for justice. “I pray this young man finds God, who alone can change hearts of stone into hearts of flesh,” she said. “Letting him walk away sends the message that threatening to kill a member of Congress is just another day without consequence. It is not. It is criminal. And it must be treated as such.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Rep. Mace’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Biden struggles with words, key memories in leaked audio from Special Counsel Hur interview
Leaked audio from former President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur showed the president struggling with key memories, including when his son Beau died and when he left the vice presidency. The audio, obtained by Axios, was a clip from several interviews between the former president and Hur related to an investigation into his handling of classified documents.
DHS open to Duck Dynasty producer’s pitch for immigrant-based reality show: ‘Happy to review’
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering working with the producer of ‘Duck Dynasty’ on a reality show featuring immigrants vying for U.S. citizenship. Rob Worsoff, the A&E producer who pitched the department about the show in a 35-page slide deck first reported by Daily Mail, envisioned immigrants taking part in competitions around the country for the prize of fast-tracking their citizenship process, such as digging for clams in Maine or rafting down the Arkansas River in Colorado. The show would be called ‘The American,’ also the name of the Amtrak train that would cart them around the country. As they travel to each state, the competitors would “learn about the history, quirks and activities of each region,” one slide seen by Fox News Digital said. “Aboard the train, we will learn who they are, where they come from, their unique backgrounds, and why they have chosen to immigrate to the United States of America,” the slide reads. DHS seems open to the proposal. NOEM DISMISSES JEFFRIES’ WARNINGS AS DHS CONSIDERS ARRESTS OF DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS AFTER ICE FACILITY CLASH “I said it may be a good idea,” Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at DHS, told Fox News Digital. “We get hundreds of pitches for shows. We need to revive patriotism and civic duty in this country and we’re happy to review out-of-the-box pitches.” She added on X that Sec. Kristi Noem, known for her made-for-TV moments on the job, has not yet been briefed on the idea because it’s in the early stages and has not been approved by staff. DHS CHIEF NOEM ACCUSES LAWMAKERS OF ‘COMMITTING FELONIES’ AT NEWARK ICE FACILITY: ‘THEY SHOULD BE CENSURED’ The winner would be deemed “our newest fellow American!” though all contestants on the show would be eligible for eventual citizenship. Other game prizes would be “iconically American,” including 1 million American Airlines points, a $10,000 Starbucks Gift Card, or a lifetime supply of 76 gasoline. Worsoff, who is Canadian, told Fox News Digital he’d pitched the idea as far back as the Obama administration, and the DHS under both President Barack Obama and Joe Biden had been receptive to it. “Both cases there was a positive response,” he said. “There was a very positive response under [DHS Sec. Alejandro] Mayorkas, then he got impeached.” “My show is very much a positive, fun inclusive show,” Worsoff added. He said years ago he’d pitched the idea for the hit reality show ‘The Biggest Loser’ and people had initially accused him of fat-shaming. “Then people watched the show they realized this is a heartwarming, kind show.” “Nobody’s moving backwards in the [immigration] process” by being on the show, he emphasized. Worsoff told the Wall Street Journal he’d pitched the idea as far back as the Obama administration, but it never gained traction. Worsoff formerly wrote for and produced ‘Duck Dynasty,’ the reality TV show about a Louisiana family and their duck hunting activities. He also produced Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker. Worsoff, who hails from Canada, told the Daily Mail: “I’m not affiliated with any political ideology. As an immigrant myself, I am merely trying to make a show that celebrates the immigration process, celebrate what it means to be American and have a national conversation about what it means to be American, through the eyes of the people who want it most.” DHS has launched a $200 million ad campaign aimed at highlighting the administration’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
Former FBI Director James Comey meets with Secret Service after controversial ’86 47′ post
Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to meet face to face with U.S. Secret Service officials in Washington, D.C. for an interview about his “86 47” post, two sources briefed on the meeting told Fox News. Comey is under investigation for an Instagram post showing seashells arranged on a beach to read “86 47.” “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” he wrote in the since-deleted post. Some have interpreted the post to mean “86” – get rid of – “47” – Donald Trump, the 47th president. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The U.S. Secret Service is leading the investigation at this point, but the FBI and Department of Justice could take a larger role if necessary, Fox News is told.
