00:00I know we had our chit-chat yesterday.

00:03Yes. Thank you, Karine.

00:05Does President Biden commit to serving a full second term

00:08if reelected?

00:10Yes.

00:11Thank you.

00:13We know the President says that his health is fine,

00:16but it's just his brain, and that he's sharpest before a-

00:19He was joking, by the way.

00:20I just want to make sure that that's out there.

00:23And people- What's the joke?

00:24He was making a lighthearted joke as he was speaking off-

00:28He was speaking off the cuff and was making a joke.

00:31You know the President. He likes to joke a lot.

00:33He's the same guy who says,

00:35I know I look 40, right?

00:37So he likes to make jokes.

00:39It is a joke.

00:40I think people laugh when he says it.

00:42Well, he also said he's sharpest before 8 p.m.

00:46So, say that the Pentagon, at some point,

00:49picks up an incoming nuke.

00:50It's 11 p.m.

00:52Who do you call? The First Lady?

00:55He has a team that lets him know of any news

00:59that is pertinent and important to the American people.

01:02He has someone that is decided, obviously,

01:05with his National Security Council

01:07on who gets to tell him that news.

01:09So, Kevin McCarthy just said that when he was the Speaker,

01:13many times when we had meetings in the Oval Office,

01:15Jill was there as well.

01:17When the First Lady's in these meetings,

01:19is she making decisions or is she just advising the President?

01:22No. The President is the President of the United States.

01:24He makes decisions.

01:26Okay. Another family member.

01:28President Biden has told me before he and his son

01:31don't have any business dealings together.

01:33So what is Hunter Biden doing in White House meetings?

01:37Are you talking about the meeting

01:39where they came together from Camp David

01:42and the two of them walked to the President's meeting

01:46and he was there?

01:47There's a report that aides were struck by his presence

01:50during their discussions.

01:52Look, I can't — I'm certainly not going to get

01:54into private conversations that occur.

01:58What I can say is — and I talked to this —

01:59I spoke to this before —

02:01is that when they came back from Camp David,

02:04the President spent a couple days at Camp David

02:07with his family.

02:09He is very close to his family, as you know.

02:11It was the week of Fourth of July,

02:12which is why his family members were here last week.

02:16They walked together and they walked together

02:18into the meeting.

02:20Can you say if Hunter Biden has access to classified information?

02:23No.
