ABC News Appears To Have Not Aired 900+ Words From Biden During Interview On GMA. Here They Are.
ABC News’s “Good Morning America” appears to have not aired nearly a thousand words from Democrat President Joe Biden’s interview with host George Stephanopoulos, according to a review of a transcript published by the network and a review of the footage that it aired.
The interviews comes as the administration faces an absolute debacle in Afghanistan that was precipitated by Biden’s chaotic pullout from the nation. Biden has avoided answering questions from reporters during two brief sets of remarks that he gave to the media this week and he has spent a significant portion of time during this crisis on vacation in Delaware, where his administration refuses to disclose who he meets with.
A review comparing the transcript released by ABC News to video footage aired on live television on Thursday by ABC News on “Good Morning America” and to video footage published by the show on its YouTube channel show that a significant portion of Biden’s remarks, a little over 900 words on a variety of topics related to Afghanistan, were not aired.
Some of the remarks that were not aired are inconsequential to the interview, like when Biden thanks Stephanopoulos for the interview. ABC News could have withheld parts of the footage due to time constraints, however, many of the instances in which Biden’s remarks were not aired appear to be negative moments where he struggled.
The following are the most significant parts of the interview that do not appear to have aired (a full transcript and both video clips published on the “Good Morning America” YouTube channel are featured toward the bottom of this report) with words in bold font not being included in video footage aired by the network.
The transcript is too long to repost but here’s the link. https://www.dailywire.com/news/abc-news-appears-to-have-not-aired-900-words-from-biden-during-interview-on-gma-here-they-are
This is the Beau portion that was removed:
STEPHANOPOULOS: I– I think a lot of– a lot of Americans, and a l– even a lot of veterans who served in Afghanistan agree with you on the big, strategic picture. They believe we had to get out. But I wonder how you respond to an Army Special Forces officer, Javier McKay (PH). He did seven tours. He was shot twice. He agrees with you. He says, “We have to cut our losses in Afghanistan.” But he adds, “I just wish we could’ve left with honor.”
BIDEN: Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major– I mean, as an Army major. And, you know, I’m sure h– he had regrets comin’ out of Afganista– I mean, out of Iraq.
He had regrets to what’s– how– how it’s going. But the idea– what’s the alternative? The alternative is why are we staying in Afghanistan? Why are we there? Don’t you think that the one– you know who’s most disappointed in us getting out? Russia and China. They’d love us to continue to have to–
We won’t hear this news anywhere but here.
Dim/rinos will make sure of that.
Barr warned us but then dropped the ball.
Who threatened him?
I think that has been done. That failure is out there for God and everybody to see.
Larry Elder’s Ex-Fiancee Denies Politico Report that He ‘Waved’ a Loaded Gun at Her
By J.D. Rucker • Aug. 20, 2021

There was a time not too long ago when I considered POLITICO to be one of the few left-leaning mainstream news outlets that played straight with the facts. But repeated offenses to journalistic standards in recent months has made me put them in the same classification as CNN, Salon, and the Huffington Post. They are fake news.
A “bombshell” report posted yesterday claimed California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder “waved a gun” at ex-fiancee Alexandra Datig “while high on marijuana.” The inflammatory characterization of the alleged event remains in the first paragraph of the story several hours after Datig informed them for the second time that he never waved nor pointed the gun at her.
The reality of her tale, which Elder denies, is that she claims he checked to see if his firearm was loaded before replacing it in a drawer. He did not wave it. He did not point it at her. He did not threaten her in any way, neither with the firearm nor verbally.
But reality doesn’t hurt his chances of defeating Democrat Gavin Newsom next month during the California recall election. So, POLITICO sensationalized it for effect. Unfortunately, the vast majority of reports on other mainstream media outlets repeated POLITICO’s lies. The only one we found that treated it honestly was the Los Angeles Times, which reported:
In her interview with The Times last week, Datig also said that Elder did not “wave” the gun, as later reported by Politico. After that account went online Thursday, Datig reiterated that point.
Datig, who is reportedly supporting and possibly working with former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s campaign, has very high political ambitions in the state. Having an ex-fiancee as the Governor of California would hamper her prospects.
Leftist mainstream media knows Larry Elder is a candidate who can drive more California voters to recall Gavin Newsom. He is their top target in the state. They’ll do anything, including lie, to keep their chosen one in office.
Good ones, norsky!

FBI finds scant evidence of a coordinated plot to storm the Capitol on January 6. No mention of President Trump. So, once again, the corrupt media fed a false narrative to the American people. Get away from those people!
Do you need an ID to get a vaccine? Or can you just walk up & get a vaccine & a vaccine passport? Don’t they require proof of identity?
If you need an ID to get a vaccine, and they want everybody to get a vaccine, then why couldn’t you use the same ID you used to get a vaccine to vote?
No jab, no food.

I can’t remember the specificz, was the military told to stand down during the Benghazi attack?
I hope you’re right, I hope the military does the right thing anyway. The Nuremberg trials in 1945-46 decided that a moral law supersedes any national law.
Lovely brunch, thank you!
I took Cooper for another Forest jaunt, we found another deer trail! They are so smart, they find all the flat spots and connect them. I hope they don’t mind coming back home and having our scent there.
I have seven jars of floating peaches. Doesn’t seem to matter what I do I end up with floating fruit. Oh well. I took out another 21 pounds to get ready to can this afternoon. I don’t know what to do with the last part of it, I have enough for seven more jars or I can freeze it and do something more interesting. I’m just out of ideas. I made a little bit of peach sauce yesterday and didn’t like the consistency. I added it to applesauce and all I could taste was the apples, so that would be a waste of the peaches. I could freeze some but I’m limited on freezer space so I’m going to save that for the clingfree peaches. I love freezer jam! The fruit always tastes so fresh.
The French are showing us up in all sorts of things. It should be embarrassing. Or maybe we should contemplate moving to France?
Precious! I’m really glad I saw your breakfast post first or I would have been concerned.
Thanks.
U.S. position on Taiwan unchanged despite Biden comment - official
A Biden administration official said on Thursday that U.S. policy on Taiwan had not changed after President Joe Biden appeared to suggest the United States would defend the island if it were attacked, a deviation from a long-held U.S. position of “strategic ambiguity”.
“We have made - kept every commitment. We made a sacred commitment to Article 5 that if in fact anyone were to invade or take action against our NATO allies, we would respond. Same with Japan, same with South Korea, same with - Taiwan. It’s not even comparable to talk about that.”
A senior Biden administration official said U.S. “policy with regard to Taiwan has not changed” and analysts said Biden appeared to have misspoken.

“Maybe this whole disastrous mess in Afghanistan is to take the country’s eyes off of the audit results.”
It could be, perhaps the audit variant isn’t doing its job. But usually they find something that makes Republicans look bad. Not that makes themselves look like incompetent imbeciles.
Time for another French Revolution!
