Host: Bill O’Reilly

Notably, O’Reilly draws direct comparisons to the Watergate scandal, questioning the transparency and ethics of Biden’s inner circle.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

Allegations: Auto Pen & Presidential Competency

• Main Allegation:
  Heritage Foundation’s research claims a “shocking” proportion of Biden’s executive orders were signed by auto pen, not by Biden himself, fueling suspicions about his involvement and mental acuity.

  • O’Reilly’s Assertion:

    "I am one of them, that Biden had no idea what he was signing. He didn't know what it was...for four years we didn't have a president. That is staggering." (00:57)

  • Legal use of auto pen is technically permitted if the president is indisposed, but O’Reilly highlights that its frequent use here is unprecedented and suspect.

• House Oversight Investigation:
  The House Oversight Committee is now investigating the legitimacy and awareness behind Biden’s executive orders, seeking evidence Biden was either unaware or incompetent.

Comparison to Watergate

• Scandal Scope:
  O’Reilly emphatically places “Biden-gate” on par with, or worse than, Watergate, framing it as a deliberate cover-up about the president’s health and ability:

  "This Biden thing was going to be as big as Watergate...Worse than Watergate." (03:20)

  • "You cannot cover up...a mental acuity or a physical situation in the White House. You can't. And it is Watergate. It's worse than Watergate. Probably." (04:36)

Key Figures Named in Oversight Investigation

• Expected to Testify:

  • Michael Donilon (former senior advisor)
  • Anita Dunn (senior advisor)
  • Ron Klain (former chief of staff)
  • Bruce Reed (former deputy chief of staff of policy)
  • Steve Ricchetti (former counselor to president)
    O’Reilly suggests all will deny any wrongdoing or knowledge of Biden’s incompetence.

• Dr. Kevin O’Connor:
  Biden’s personal physician, is the "guy who's in most trouble" for allegedly failing to disclose serious health issues and, possibly, being complicit in the cover-up.

  "Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Joe Biden's personal physician, took the Fifth today...Was he ever told to lie about the President's health..." (11:44)

Executive Orders Analysis

• Auto Pen Usage Statistics:
  • Jan 1, 2025 – Inauguration Day: 14 executive orders, all signed by auto pen (09:07)
  • 2024: 74% of EOs signed by auto pen

    "I don't think it's ever, ever been anywhere close to another president doing that." (09:44)

• Notable Pardons (signed by auto pen):
  Included several family members, General Mark Milley, and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Dr. O’Connor’s Fifth Amendment & Privilege Debate

• Key Moment:
  Dr. O’Connor takes the Fifth before Congress when questioned about Biden’s health and fitness to serve. O’Reilly calls for a criminal investigation:

  "You say, I'm not going to talk to a congressional committee because I might have committed a crime there. That's it. You got to go. Then the FBI's got to go." (11:59)

• Doctor-Patient Privilege Debate:
  Medical expert Jeffrey Coleman (Obama’s former physician) defends O’Connor’s right to confidentiality:

  "He actually stated doctor patient confidentiality, which for over 25 years, since the time of Hippocrates...I will keep secret..." (14:28)

  • O’Reilly refutes this:

    "Oconnors paid for by we the people...This is public, okay? Because if the president is infirmed, then we are all affected." (15:06)

Biden’s Record: Any Achievements?

O’Reilly challenges his audience to name significant positive contributions by Biden, listing only three:

1. Oversaw spending for 400 airport modernization projects.
2. Capped Medicare Part D drug costs at $2,000/year.
3. Enabled mail-in passport renewals.

He questions whether there’s anything else to add, emphasizing his struggle to find positive impacts.

"Four years. That's what we found. You know anything else? I want to be fair." (13:28)

Hunter Biden’s Remarks

Hunter Biden’s recent YouTube interview is highlighted:

• Hunter’s Explanation for Debate Performance:

  "He flew around the world...He's 81 years old. He's tired as hell. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights." (16:37)

  • O’Reilly questions the claim about Ambien:

    "Why would you give somebody Ambien when going into big public debate? Ambien makes you sleepy. Trump called him sleepy Joe, that's insane." (16:58)

• Hunter’s Critique of George Clooney:

  “Why do I have to listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his life...” (17:36)
