The transcripts from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s October 2023 interviews with President Joe Biden were released Tuesday morning, painting an even worse picture of the 46th President than was initially believed following the publication of the Hur report in February 2024.

In the immediate aftermath of the report’s publication, Biden took public umbrage with being portrayed as a forgetful, doddery old man whose only recourse in avoiding criminal charges was his poor memory and the sympathetic way in which a jury would treat him as a result. In other words, Biden was effectively saying, “No, I’m fine, prosecute me!”

But the transcripts show a Joe Biden who is definitely not fine. As The National Pulse reported on Tuesday, the President of the United States said that he “did not know,” “could not recall,” or “did not remember,” almost 150 times over the course of five hours. That is forgetfulness at an industrial level – almost once for every two minutes of testimony.

Biden forgot the name for a fax machine, went on unhinged, Abe Simpson-style rants about burnt penises, and even contradicted his own, February defense against the Special Counsel report wherein he claimed of the death of his son Beau: “How in the hell dare [the special counsel] raise that,” adding: “Frankly when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

But Special Counsel Hur did not raise that. Joe Biden did. Just seven minutes into his October 23 interview. He did it multiple times throughout his testimony, often invoking Beau’s memory as an excuse for why he was busy, or couldn’t remember details, even when said events were years after – and utterly unrelated to – Beau’s passing.

The one thing Biden did seem to recall quite well was his acquisition of cash from the China-backed Penn Biden Center, which he told the Special Counsel he was using to hire staff such as his current Secretary of State, Antony Blinken. Just to be clear: the President of the United States willingly admitted that he was reliant on Chinese donor cash to fund his post-Vice Presidential policy aspirations, which included the hiring of the current Secretary of State of the United States.
