towards the end of last year, herschel walker went on a radio show and it was friendly territory. the conservative host asked walker to basically let loose on senator raphael warnock who would be walker s democratic opponent. and in that moment we found out exactly why walker s campaign tried to never let him speak. he brings up voting rights, the john lewis voting rights bill. what do you say about raphael warnock trying to push this during this time? to try to, what i call, federalize elections? you know it is sad about that. you know, using the name of a great man to bring up something that is so bad. i think it s a terrible thing to do. you know, senator louis one of the best senators there has ever been. and for african, americans it was incredibly. they have his name on the bill, the voting rights, i think it s a shame. first of all, you know, i mean, you look at video of this, it just doesn t fit with what john lewis stood for. okay, first of all, the late john l
white house has really been minimal at best since the discovery of these classified documents. you have president biden yesterday ignoring and shouting questions from reporters. twice at the white house and then for three days in a row this week, press secretary kareen jean pierre referred most of our questions about this topic to the justice department, the special counsel s office. she read statements from the white house counsel s office and reaction to the mishandling of these classified documents earlier this week. that is really essentially the posture that the white house has had since this was discovered. that is really the posture that green chunkier had when my colleague kristen welker asked her whether president biden would be willing to sit down with the special counsel if asked for an interview to be able to fully cooperate with the special counsel probe. take a listen to what she had to say. again, that is something that i do not have a magic wand here. i don

something white house officials were not aware of in advance, he detailed a timeline and underscored the fact when the president first talked about the classified documents earlier this week, he omitted a second set of documents we discovered last night. and they knew about them. take a listen. the review was underway when you guys gave the detailed statement about the first set of documents. the review was underway when the president spoke about the first set of documents. you re now saying you didn t talk about the second set of documents discovered almost a month prior because a review was underway. it doesn t make any sense. the only difference was that reporters had information on the first set of documents and therefore you chose to exclude the second set of documents until reporters got information on the second set of documents. let me unconfuse you, phil. we are trying to do this by the book. i said yesterday this was under review by the department of justice. an
