Former Biden chief of staff reveals disturbing truth about who was really in charge

Biden's former Chief of Staff Ron Klain sat down for a marathon grilling behind closed doors on Capitol Hill. He reportedly said that Biden was, quote, less energetic and had a worse memory late in his term. Klain also revealed that Hillary Clinton didn't think Biden was, quote, politically viable. Lara Trump joins me now. Lara, it seems like we're beginning to get some answers on Biden's decline, but we still don't know who is actually running the government, do we? We still do not know that. And, Stuart, think about how terrifying a statement that is to say that we really don't know, at least for the last little bit of Joe Biden's presidency, who is running things. I do think the information we got yesterday is helpful. It's helpful for people not to plead the fifth. So I'm appreciative that Ron Klain actually gave a little bit of information. And at the base of this, at the heart of all of this, is really that question. Who was actually making the big decisions and who had the authority to use that auto pen? Was Joe Biden—they say he gave verbal authority. Was he within his right mind when he gave that verbal authority to use the auto pen? Do those pardons and executive orders that he signed with that auto pen actually hold up in a court of law? If they get more people like Ron Klain in there testifying that Joe Biden really wasn't as with it as maybe they advertised to the American public, they could take that to a court and a court could say, you know what, we're going to rescind those executive orders and those pardons. So I'm sure a lot of people are paying very close attention to that. Very close attention. You sat down with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. You're talking about the changes he's making at the State Department. Watch this. Kind of pared things back at the State Department. You've restructured some things here and you actually say that this was long overdue. I read these reports about how we've gutted American diplomacy. It's really silly. But here's the fundamental nature of it. It took too long to get things done. Memos have to be cleared by these different desks, these different offices. Some of them had 30 or 40 boxes. 30 or 40 people had to clear it before it even got to me. Ultimately, I need to get that decision memo to my desk so we can take action. We can't wait six weeks, six months to do things. It renders us irrelevant, especially in a world that moves so fast. Lara, it sounds like he's taking a machete to the State Department. Yeah, he basically doged the State Department, Stuart. That's exactly what Marco Rubio said there. And it's a little bit like if you remember during President Trump's first term in office, he talked about how he got rid of ISIS in about four weeks. And he was able to do that because he said to his top military brass, listen, you don't need to go through this crazy list of people. Call this person who calls me at the White House and then I send the message back to them. If you have a way to do something and execute things effectively, I want you to do it. You guys are the experts. In much the same way, Secretary Rubio has said, listen, we don't need 30 or 40 people to approve something. We have the best people. They know how to get their jobs done. And it's so much more efficient and effective. And because of that, look at the pace of things that we've seen happen within this administration and via our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. We're so lucky to have him there. And this conversation was wide-ranging. I also asked him about maybe things to come in the future. So everybody needs to tune in at 9 p.m. this Saturday night. It's going to be a great conversation. I want to talk to you about this, too. Nancy Pelosi says that Gen Z will play a big role in the future of politics. You've got to watch this, Laura. Watch. Gen Z has a really important role. Voters for the future. The future, it belongs to you. It's where you will live. So whether we're talking about having a safe planet that will exist for everyone into the future, a strong democracy for what happens in the future, fairness in our economy, a lot of that is at risk in this next election. Gen Z will play a major role in politics in the future. I call that a truism. It's bound to be true. There's no way around it. It's guaranteed to be true, isn't it? It's absolutely true. And actually, I think Nancy's probably a little concerned, Stuart, because if you look at the shift in the way that young voters moved over this past election, they're moving more right. They're moving more conservative. And I think she knows and the Democrats know, look, that used to be a dead-set group that would always vote for them. That was always baked in to their bottom line. It's not anymore. They're not guaranteed those young voters anymore. And so they're going to have to get out and work for them. The problem they have is that what is it that people who are just coming out of high school and college are looking for? They're looking for a good job. They're looking for good-paying jobs. They're looking for possibly buying a house one day and starting a family. The conservatives, the Republicans, are the side of the aisle offering that. The Democrats have no solutions for that, and they're taking the country in the wrong direction in a lot of those people's eyes. So they've got a lot of work to do before they're going to win that entire group of voters back. Real fast, you've decided not to run for the Senate seat in North Carolina. Will you get behind RNC Chair Michael Whatley and endorse him for the seat? Yes or no? Oh, my gosh. Michael Whatley is one of the greatest people I have ever had the honor of working with. We worked alongside each other at the RNC last year. And North Carolina would be lucky to have him represent them in the United States Senate. So, yeah, I think he's going to get a lot of great endorsements, Stuart. Stay tuned. Maybe the most important one comes from another Trump. But I think the world of Michael Whatley, and I wish him the best of luck. We'll be watching you on Saturday night, 9 o'clock Eastern on Fox. All good stuff. Lara, thanks, as always, for coming on the show. Always appreciate it. Thanks very much.
