I want to I want to welcome a colleague of mine from 640 Toronto. He's a host of Toronto today, Greg Brady to the show. He put in an early early morning here on on the radio station. And I thank him for taking time out of his free time to join us on the Ben Mulroney show. Thanks so much, Greg.

Pleasure, man. You know, I love to chat with you. Go right ahead. Yeah, well, sadly, the first story we're talking about is not a happy one. There are not a lot of facts that we have on this story, but the facts that we have, I think, are enough to be outraged and to discuss it. Two young children stabbed in Northern Alberta. The suspect has been released.

That's all you need to hear. How often do we talk about it, you and me, whether on radio or when the radio's off, that the justice system is broken and this case is the poster child for it. If you can't keep somebody in jail for stabbing two kids, what the heck are we doing? Yeah, I have no idea what people's line is

and it might vary between where you know it's over the line that you'd like to release a suspect and we can, yeah, blow out the doors on, we need more speedy trials, we need more judges, we need more of everything, of course we do. But this is so far over the line when an adult is accused of stabbing, I've heard of kids, high school kids stabbing each other in a fight at school. We've all heard of adults stabbing. I've never even heard of an adult stabbing a child. And then obviously getting the innocent until proven guilty is something all of us should be

afforded, Ben. But you keep them behind bars until the trial. Okay, so Greg, plan is simple. So here's the pushback that we always get. They say, well, the problem is there's not enough room in the jails. Okay, let's assume that that is true. Are you telling me that you can't find one person in that jail who's done something that's not as bad as stabbing a child and give them bail

and replace that person with the guy who stabbed the kids. Do a substitution. Find somebody who's in there for shoplifting. Get rid of him. Give him bail and put the stabber in jail. Yeah there's got to be a way around it and and I just again we would read about this in another country Ben if we read about this in Portugal or the Philippines or the UK, we'd be aghast. It's right here. It's right here in our country. And we'd say what's wrong with that country's system of justice that they can't figure out something so simple. It's outrageous. Yeah. Yeah. I want to move on to what they like to say, the lame stream media in the United States.

I think you and I both remember when we watched the US debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, where Joe Biden's cognitive decline was finally on display for everybody to see in real time. It was what so many of us believed was a fact. And whenever it was brought up on certain news channels, and we'll use CNN as an example, the pushback was real.

The people making the accusations were accused of underhanded misinformation themselves. And Jake Tapper found himself doing that to Lara Trump months and months and months ago. Here's how Jake Tapper argued with Lara about Biden's supposed decline at the time. How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?

First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable to watch somebody on stage search for questions and try and figure out an answer. A cognitive decline. Well, when you're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was a stuttering. I have no idea, Joe Biden. I think you were mocking his stuttering. I

think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. I would think that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from a far. So that, we saw a lot of that. We saw a lot of that. And then his cognitive decline was there for all of us to see. And then a lot of us went back and said, hold on, have we been lied to? Is this, there's something going on here. So Jake Tapper really was a very visible opponent to anybody suggesting that there was real cognitive decline

in the president. So I think a lot of us are surprised that he is now the author of a new book called Original Sin that exposes Biden's cognitive decline after years of denying it. This is like, it feels, I have a lot of time for Jake. He and I have gone back and forth a few times. We're quite friendly, but it feels like the gaslighting

that people went away experience about Joe Biden's health, all of a sudden we're supposed to pretend like the people on the left had nothing to do with it. And it is, and it's the one thing, you know, for sport or for entertainment, you can sort of judge that guy doesn't have the voice he used to on stage or that person, Muhammad Ali, famously, his final fight was against Canadian Trevor Burbick. And then people said, please don't ever get in the ring again. It's clear you're yesterday's man.

Muhammad Ali, like the most iconic athlete probably the 1970s So we have a real we have trouble within our own family To take car keys away from people and say we don't think you should do this anymore When it's the president of the United States and it's so politicized. I mean again, I'm not The Trump family and Laura's been part of that have been had been cruel. They have been aggressively At their aggressive their language has been very aggressive Towards Biden but to come back around to Tapper. Yeah, he's he needed to ask better questions He needed to ask a ton more questions at the time and maybe even

entertain Ben the theory as and maybe even entertain Ben the theory as we were able to do or others were able to do that there might not be something right. Bernie Sanders was running for the nominee, a nomination against Joe Biden and had a heart attack during the primaries. To which point everybody said, whoa, like we can't be having presidents having heart attacks and everybody backed off on the idea that Bernie Sanders could or should be the nominee. But we're a lot less willing to do that with cognitive impairment. But this felt to me, this, this one, uh, audio clip that we just played tells me that before anybody buys this book, before Jake Tapper tries to sell this book, and it might be a great book.

I'm sure it's well researched. I've read a lot of Jake's stuff in the past, before it gets out there, he owes everybody an explanation as to how he had this moral conversion to become somebody who now deems himself an authority on Joe Biden's decline. Well, and there's that phrase, the tape don't lie, and everything now is recorded. You can double back and find a clip where somebody said something that will no doubt infer that they thought they knew better than and they didn't. Why I think you're doing what you're doing,

what I'm doing, what I'm doing is on the first, I can't wait to get in and say, boy, I got this wrong and I didn't know this and let me adjust and pivot. And there's too many people, Ben, in this day and age that won't do it. They didn't do it during the pandemic. They won't do it about, you know, big things, whether it's Russia, Ukraine, what's going on in Gaza. And they, and they sure aren't doing it about Joe Biden.

It comes to Democrats like, like if you're going to be in essence a Democrat friendly or Republican friendly media, your public has to embrace a lot of what you're saying and you'll have to be accountable when you don't get things right. I also think cost them at the election last year. I also think that there is something to be said. I think people are more apt to believe you if you're willing to admit you were wrong. And I think look Jake Tapper's a smart guy.

I'm sure he'll be able to craft a story explaining his conversion, which might even make him sound like more of an expert, somebody who got caught up in the machine that was feeding him this information. And then his eyes were opened and he, you know, the Americans like to say he got red pilled and possibly on this one thing. But there is a way for him to do it. But I do not believe that people will buy this book until they understand.

Like the message has been tarnished because of the messenger is tarnished and he needs to clean up his image before people accept the message. Yeah, real quick for me, like, like that was the biggest question. That was the first question anybody would want to and should ask Kamala Harris when she got the nomination. Yeah. Who gives a rip how she got the nomination? But your job is to say to her, what

did you notice? Where and when did you notice it? Yeah. What did you notice? When did you notice it? Where was Joe Biden struggling? And guess what? In three years, we may be asked the very same thing about a guy heading deeper into

his 80s than Donald Trump. Hey, Greg, we're gonna leave it there. We're gonna leave it there. Thank you so much, my friend. I'll talk to you soon. Thanks, pal. Leave it there.
