00:00Again, this person, Ian Samms, is the one that would counter everything.

00:06Robert Herr, or anytime anyone would suggest that Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit,

00:10he would say, no, he's at the top of his game.

00:12He tweeted out there several times, he gave interviews on MSNBC.

00:15Every time I've interacted with the president, he was sharp, he asked great questions.

00:20In there, under oath, he interacted with the president two times, the entire time.

00:26The entire time he worked in the White House.

00:30That's astonishing.

00:31Any questions?

00:31Did he tell you what those two times were?

00:33Like, do you know what those two interactions were?

00:35No, he really didn't have a good memory of the two times he interacted with the president,

00:39which would make me think that he didn't interact with him very long.

00:44Let this sink in.

00:45Not only did Robert Herr interact longer with Joe Biden than Joe Biden's own spokesperson,

00:56I interacted more with Joe Biden than Joe Biden's spokesperson.

01:00I flew on Air Force One with Joe Biden to Kentucky when we had a tornado.

01:04I talked to him on Air Force One.

01:06Ian Samms never flew on Air Force One.

01:08I mean, do you recall a president's spokesperson not traveling with the president when he traveled?

01:16He never went on Air Force One.

01:17I've been on Air Force One with Joe Biden.

01:18Did he say, though, in his two interactions with him that the president was mentally sharp?

01:23Oh, of course he did.

01:24Yeah, well, he had to.

01:25He said that in front of you all a hundred times.

01:27But in there, when he announced you'd only been with him twice, during those two times,

01:32did he describe the president as mentally sharp?

01:33Well, he had to, absolutely, because he said that for hours and hours and hours of press conferences

01:42and TV interviews on MSNBC and CNN.
