Hello and welcome to another edition of the Byron York Show, the No Chit Chat Podcast.

0:13.2

We'd like to get right into it and what we're going to get into today is President Biden's

0:18.1

amazing impressive performance at his news conference on Wednesday, his news conference

0:25.1

to mark his first year in office.

0:28.7

There's a lot to talk about because Biden talked for, I believe, 112 minutes.

0:35.2

That would be eight minutes short of two hours. I think he was in part trying to show that he

0:39.2

had the physical stamina to do that. But if you talk for 112 minutes, you cover a lot of things.

0:44.5

So there's a bunch to talk about. But today, what I want to do is I want to talk about Biden trying

0:51.1

to try to undercut faith in the 2022 elections and the integrity of the elections.

in fact, lost. But now Biden is claiming that Republicans are rigging the 2022 vote in a number

1:43.6

of states in order to win the elections. He said it outright in Georgia recently and he reiterated

1:51.7

at that news conference on Wednesday. And that is not true either. So as Trump did throughout 2020,

2:00.6

Biden has been setting the stage for claims of a rigged election. When Georgia passed a voting

2:08.6

reform bill, Biden referred to it as, quote, Jim Crow on steroids. He supported Major League

2:15.5

Baseball to pulling out the all-star game out of Georgia. He spoke darkly of voter suppression.

2:23.3

In a speech he gave in Atlanta on January 11th, an incendiary speech, he accused Republicans of

2:29.9
