1 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: On this episode of Neutral. Joe Biden made left than 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars a year for most of his 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: life in public service, but as soon as he left office, 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: he bought his second multi million dollar mansion. He shared 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: a bookkeeper with Hunter Biden, and a law firm of 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: several Biden family members that manage their money. Hunter, who 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: hasn't had a real job in decades, has raked in 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars. Joe Biden met many of 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: the foreigners writing the checks, but still maintains all of 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: these situations are nothing to be concerned about. In his 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: new book All the President's Money, Investigating the secret foreign 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: schemes that mid the Biden Family rich Congressmen James Comer 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: takes readers on a captivating journey through the murky world 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: of the Biden family's business dealings. This explosive expos deals 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: deep in deleegations of corruption, influenced peddling and money laundry, 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: and asked the question was this an abuse of power? 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: Here to talk about his new book, I'm really pleased 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: to welcome my good friend and guest, Congressman James Comer, 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. He represents the first 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: Congressional district of the great state of Kentucky, and he 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: has been doing a great job leading the committee. James, 22 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: welcome and thank you for joining me again on Newts World. 23 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: Thank you, mister speakers, my honor. 24 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: Can we start with the whole notion that in the 25 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: years that Biden was in the Senate, Daniel salary for 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: senators was one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a year. 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: When he became vice president under Barack Obama, he made 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty three thousand, five hundred year. Of course, 29 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: they also gave him a house. The money he did 30 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: make was when he was out of office, writing books 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: and giving speeches. All the President's Money is a deep 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: investigation which you led into the financial activities of Biden family. 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Can you walk us through some of the most shocking 34 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: findings you uncovered during your investigation. 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be happy to. So. 36 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: The book is essentially a forensic audit of how the 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 3: Bidens operated, especially during the last two years of the 38 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: Obama Biden administration. That's where a significant amount of money 39 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: transacted and what would happen is the Vice president would 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: meet with these people in different countries, and then days later, 41 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: literally days later, millions of dollars would start transferring into 42 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: a series of bank accounts. The bank accounts were all 43 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: under different LLCs. Usually the initial bank account was in 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: partnership with what we would call an associate. I believe 45 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: that that was because if something went bad, then they 46 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: would blame it on the associate, And that happened several 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: times with people like Jason Galanis and Devon Archer and 48 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 3: people like that. They got in trouble and Hunter Biden 49 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: never did. But then the money would then be laundered 50 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: through various other LLCs and then end up in incremental 51 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: payments in different Biden family bank accounts. We learned that 52 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: most of this money happened while Joe Biden was vice president. 53 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 3: One of the myths when we started the investigation was 54 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: that no money ever transacted while Joe Biden was vice president, and. 55 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: I actually believe that. 56 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: But what we found when I subpoenaed the bank records 57 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: was almost all of the money, tens of millions of 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: dollars in fact, we're transferred while Joe Biden's vice president. 59 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: And then the China money started coming in just a 60 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: few weeks after Joe Biden left the vice presidency, and 61 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: that was after Hunter left the infamous what's that message 62 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: saying my father sitting beside me, we expect you to 63 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: fulfill your commitments that were made while my father was 64 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: vice president. 65 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: So the shocking thing about the. 66 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: Book is that the banks knew about this, and the 67 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: banks did everything right. There were six different banks that 68 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: filed one hundred and seventy suspicious activity reports, which are 69 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: reports to the Treasury Cabinet that we believe their client 70 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: is committing some type of financial crime, from money laundering. 71 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: To bribery, things like that. 72 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: The last thing we found that there were four different 73 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: government agencies that had ongoing investigations of the Biden family 74 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: for financial crimes. And those agencies were the IRS, the FBI, 75 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice in multiple jurisdictions, and the Securities 76 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: and Exchange Commission, And in each instance they were told 77 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: to stand down by what I refer to as a 78 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: deep state bureaucrat. 79 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm curious, when you look at all this activity, do 80 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: you really think it's plausible that Biden didn't know the 81 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: financial arrangements Hunter Biden had with all these foreign businesses 82 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: do you just think this money happened to unfortunately show up. 83 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: No. 84 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: I think Joe Biden lied. I know he lied when 85 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: he said he had never met any of these people. 86 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he say. 87 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: I have met with them, I meet with everybody that 88 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: Hunter's friends with, or whatever he said, under no circumstances. 89 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: Has Joe Biden never met with Hunter Biden? That was 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: a lie. 91 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 3: He met with all of them, We met with all 92 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 3: of them. And then he said there was a wall 93 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 3: between his personal finances and Hunters. And what we found 94 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: in investigation was that Joe Biden's bookkeeper was also Hunters, 95 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: and Joe Biden never paid his bookkeeper of penny, so 96 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 3: somebody was paying that bookkeeper. I would argue it was 97 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: Hunter to the influence filling teams. And then they shared 98 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: the same law firm. They shared the same law firm, 99 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: So you don't have a wall between your businesses when 100 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 3: you share the same house, you share the same CPA firm, 101 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: and you share the same law firm. 102 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: When you look at all that isn't it probable that 103 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: in the debate with Trump in twenty twenty, he just 104 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: planed lide. 105 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: He did lie, And I think this is going to 106 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: be remembered in history as one of the biggest acts 107 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: of election interference by the federal government. And I say 108 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: that because when the laptop was discovered, when it became public, 109 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: the intelligence community immediately went not just and signed that letter, 110 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: the infamous letter with fifty one former intelligence official saying 111 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: that it was Russian disinformation we learned to our investigation. 112 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: They went further. They went to Twitter, they went to Facebook, 113 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: and they told them all to be ready. This story's 114 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 3: fixing to break by the New York Post. And it 115 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: sure sounds a lot like the Russian disinformation, when in fact, 116 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: when they were doing that, they had had possession of 117 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: that laptop for over six months. So the intelligence community 118 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: knowingly lied to the American people when they had those 119 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 3: intelligence officials sign that letter, and then they went further 120 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: to censor the story right before the election, so that 121 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: the American voters would never know the truth of the 122 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: financial crimes that the Bidens committed. 123 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was astonishing. And of course Anthony Blincoln, 124 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: who became Secretary of State, was the guy who organized 125 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: the intelligence community letter, which was a total lie. I mean, 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: I knew a bunch of these guys, the idea that 127 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: they would sign up to live the American people I 128 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: found shocking and I think it did serious damage to 129 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: the intelligence community's reputation with the American people. Now, in 130 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: your book, one of the things you mentioned is the 131 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: Biden brand. I mean, how would you define the Biden 132 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: brand and how do you think Hunter and the rest 133 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: of the family use that brand. 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: Devin Archer was the first person to term the coin 135 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: Biden brand, and then later two other former what we 136 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: call associates, Tony Bobolinski and Jason Galanis, also testified under 137 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: oath that they sold the Biden brand. What that was 138 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: was a fancy word meaning we're selling access to Joe. 139 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: And anyone that was in business with Hunter knew that 140 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: it really wasn't a business. It was an influence peddling scheme. 141 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: And what they were peddling was access to Joe. And 142 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: it wasn't like they were pedaling to special interests, mister speaker. 143 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: They were peddling to our adversaries around the world. In 144 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: the book, it details exactly who these people were that 145 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: wired the million dollar plus wires to the Bidens and 146 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: what I would say during the investigation, these were bad 147 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 3: people from bad countries, wiring significant amounts of money to 148 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: the Biden family that they then laundered through a series 149 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: of shell companies and then distributed to ten different Biden 150 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: family members through incremental payments. 151 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: When you mentioned ten different Biden family members, all the 152 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: attention is paid to Hunter. But isn't it the fact 153 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: that several other members of the family were probably equally guilty. 154 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: I would say that some of the Biden family members 155 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: may not have had criminal liability, but they benefited from 156 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 3: the financial schemes. 157 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: But certainly the top three, and that. 158 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 3: Would be Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Jim Biden were 159 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: actively engaged in the influence peddling schemes. The difference in 160 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: Jim Biden and Hunter Biden is that Jim didn't leave 161 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: a laptop line around, so you don't know as much 162 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: about Jim, and there was never as much press about Jim, 163 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 3: only because he didn't leave an incriminating. 164 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: Laptop line around. 165 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: But I would argue from looking at the financial accounts 166 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: and records of Jim Biden that he's a lot sloppier 167 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: and more careless than Hunter Biden. I said in the book, 168 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: Hunter was more intelligent than a lot of the conservative 169 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: media gave him credit for he had the misfortune of 170 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: getting on drugs. In course, drugs mess with you. But 171 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: these financial schemes were very sophisticated. And what I put 172 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: in the book that a lot of people didn't realize. 173 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: The very first real job Hunter Biden had right out 174 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: of law school was he was a bank fraud investigator 175 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: for a credit card company in Delaware. 176 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: So I would argue that he learned how. 177 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: To defraud from being a a financial fraud investigator and 178 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: these schemes, the banks would detail it, the Irish whistleblowers 179 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 3: would detail it that they were very sophisticated. I mean, 180 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: this wasn't you know, some crack head on the street 181 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: hiding some dimebag dope money. 182 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: This was a very sophisticated scheme that was a hard 183 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: nut for the Iris to crack. 184 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: But we learned from the Irish wisher blowers they finally 185 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: figured it out. And when they did, that's when Leslie 186 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 3: Wolfe at the Department of Justice, the deep state bureaucrat, 187 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: said stand down, you can't talk to any of the 188 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: Biden family. 189 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: Compel what happens to the bidens with Senator Menandez who 190 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: doesn't have the President of States protecting him, the relative 191 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: difference or in representative William Jefferson for Louisiana, who had 192 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: money in his freezer. 193 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 3: I cite those two examples in the book. They did 194 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: the exact same thing the Bidens did, only on a 195 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: much smaller scale. 196 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: They go to prison and Hunter Biden. 197 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: You don't get tough Scott free as well as Joe 198 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: Biden and Jim Bidden. It's an injustice and it shows 199 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: that there was truly a two tier system of justice. 200 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: Why did the media find it so hard to report 201 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: accurately on these things? 202 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: I believe with all my heart it was because they 203 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: hated Donald Trump. I do not think the media had 204 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: any love affair of Joe Biden like they did Barack 205 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 3: Obama or Bill Clinton during the Clinton presidency. 206 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: I believe it was. 207 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: The sheer hatred of Donald Trump and the sheer fear 208 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 3: that Donald Trump would in the beginning remain president and 209 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: then eventually make his return to the presidency. I think 210 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: that their whole existence was threatened by Donald Trump. And 211 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: when I say they, I'm talking about the media, the 212 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: liberal media, the deep state. They did not want a 213 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: guy like Donald Trump that disputed them and that had 214 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 3: a following that discredited him. I mean, I think one 215 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 3: of the greatest things for conservatives that Donald Trump has 216 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: done is he has discredited the liberal media. And mister Spiger, 217 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: you fought the media your entire life, and you know 218 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: that it's tough, and I fought him and it was tough. 219 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 2: But Donald Trump's the one guy that. 220 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: Has I mean, I think he has destroyed the media 221 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 3: and it's just a matter of time before there's not 222 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 3: much left. 223 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: Did you see that with the collapse of CNN and 224 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: the collapse of MSNBC and the downsizing at the Washington Postman, 225 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: if you looked at the media of twenty years ago 226 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: and you look at him now, Trump has really done 227 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: an amazing job of getting the American people to understand 228 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: how dishonest they have been. In your investigation, there were 229 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty suspicious activity reports. It's in the 230 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: classic Washington model. Are called SARS SAAR for suspicious activity 231 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: report that were linked to the Biden family. Can you 232 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: explain what a suspicious activity report is and why it matters? 233 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 3: Yes, I can, and I knew about the one hundred 234 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: and fifty suspicious activity reports from the Grassley and Johnson report. 235 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: Somehow they found out that there were one hundred and 236 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: fifty suspicious activity reports. And I knew what a suspicious 237 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: activity report was because I was a director of a 238 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: bank and my family was in the banking business in 239 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: south central Kentucky. 240 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: So a suspicious activity report is. 241 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 3: A bank violation. It's the biggest bank violation of bank issues. 242 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 3: They don't issue them very often, and the media would 243 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: try to act like it was a common thing. It's 244 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: not a common thing. I was the director of a 245 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: bank in Kentucky, which was one of the top ten 246 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 3: Kentucky domicil banks. 247 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: Over a ten year period, I think. 248 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: We issued two suspicious activity reports, and what they are 249 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 3: is the bank notifying the federal government that they believe 250 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 3: their client has committed a financial crime. I knew number one, 251 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: if you've got one hundred and fifty of those, something drong, 252 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 3: because I've never heard of anyone getting more than one 253 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 3: or maybe two. And number two, I knew no bank 254 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 3: would issue one on the son of a Vice President 255 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: United States unless they were darned sure that a violation 256 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: be committed. Because when you file one of those, the 257 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: bank examiners coming to the bank and The last thing 258 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: a bank wants to see are bank examiners knocking on 259 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: the front door. So they filed these and they filed 260 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: them with Treasury. But because the bank privacy laws, the 261 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: only way you can access them is to go into 262 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: Treasury with a subpoena. 263 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: I did that. Finally got in there with Janet yellep 264 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: and what we found. 265 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: Was there was actually one hundred and seventy suspicious activity reports, 266 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: which I think you can ask any banker in America 267 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 3: do you know anyone that had more than ten suspicious 268 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: activity reports and they would say no. This is one 269 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy from six different banks. It wasn't the 270 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: same bank, and these weren't little banks like the bank 271 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: I was a director of. This was JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, 272 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: Cathay Bank. These are some of the biggest banks in 273 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: the world. And they filed suspicious sectary report saying things 274 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 3: like money laundering, like potential bribery, like receiving money from 275 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: shell companies that they believe are state owned entities. A 276 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: state owned entity is bank speak for foreign country. They 277 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: thought the Chinese money wasn't from a real company in China. 278 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: They thought it was from the Chinese government. So what 279 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 3: Tony Bobolinski would later testify under oath, which I think 280 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: was the biggest story that never really got printed about 281 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: the investigation, was that there was no real company in China. 282 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: It was the Chinese government paying the Bidens a bribe 283 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: just so they could have influence over. 284 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: I noticeding you say that the Bidens received eight million 285 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: dollars and basically an intelligence operation. Isn't that astonishing that 286 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: you could have somebody sitting in the White House whose 287 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: family got an eight million dollars from the China These communists. 288 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: Yes, and Christopher Ray just gave an outgoing interview with 289 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 3: sixty minutes and they asked him what the biggest threat 290 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 3: to the United States of America was and he said China. 291 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: Well, why didn't. 292 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 3: He do anything when he knew that Joe Biden family, 293 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: his son who was living in his house with him 294 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: where the classified documents were Steward received eight million dollars 295 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: from the Chinese government, and according to the Irish Witch 296 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: of Blower Switcher Speakers, they never paid a penny of 297 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: taxes on it. 298 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Did you find yourself at times just being totally surprised 299 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: as your team came in and told you the latest things. 300 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: I was shocked that someone could pull this off, but 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: I was shocked more than anything how bad the media was. 302 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: And we would report something and it wasn't like we 303 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 3: got it on Twitter. We would have their bank records, 304 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: we had the actual email, and the media would immediately 305 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: click their heels and say, no evidence, this deposition produced nothing. 306 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: They would report on the depositions before we even swore 307 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: the witnesses in CNN had a story up on how 308 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 3: big a failure the transcript interview with Eric Sherwin. 309 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 2: Was, who was the bookkeeper before we even swore him in. 310 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 3: It's unbelievable how dishonest the media was about what I 311 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 3: think is the biggest public corruption scandal in my lifetime. 312 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: Certainly you'd have to consider this the biggest scandal involving 313 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: the White House. What makes it so terrible is it's 314 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: clear that Hunter was a drug addict and probably an alcoholic. 315 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: But here you have the vice president, I state's former 316 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: US senator and then president, and he is in a 317 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: series of relationships, not just China, the mayor's wife in Moscow. 318 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: It is Ukraine. I think it's Kazakhstan. I mean a 319 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: lot of places where people finding it useful to give 320 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: money to the Bidens. 321 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Romania, China, Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, with 322 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: the exception of China, not normal countries where there's a 323 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 3: lot of commerce between the United States and anyone else. 324 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: The amazing thing was that the media would. 325 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 2: Say, oh, the Bidens were in business like the Trumps. 326 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 3: Well, the Trumps actually own real businesses, and no one 327 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 3: could ever say what the Biden business was. If anything, 328 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: you would argue they were lobbying, which to lobby you 329 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: have to reacher as a foreign agent if you're lobbying 330 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: for a foreign country or a foreign entity. And they 331 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 3: never rechered as foreign agents. Well, people get put in 332 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: jail all the time for not chering as foreign agents. 333 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: In fact, two of the people that also got money 334 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: from China for the same thing, they went to jail 335 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 3: for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. 336 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: But Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Jim Biden, they 337 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 2: never went to jail. They were never even prosecuted over that. 338 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: I thought the Independent Council's argument for not trying the 339 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: president that he thought he was too old and his 340 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: ability to function was too limited, that his cognitive decline 341 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: was too great. I thought that was absolutely weird, and 342 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that the Special Council was not in 343 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: any way pro Biden. I've never quite understood how he 344 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: managed to reach that decision. Now that you've looked at 345 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: all this, and we live in a modern world where 346 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: we have real time and information. And by the way, 347 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: I remember, I think one of the pictures you had 348 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: was Vice President Biden meeting with a whole series of 349 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: foreign business leaders at Cafe Milano. I mean, it was 350 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: blatantly obvious. I wish the Trump campaign had had that 351 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: picture sure in twenty twenty, because it would have blown 352 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: out of the water the entire Biden allegation of innocence. 353 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: But when you look at all this, beyond going after 354 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: the Biden family, which I think is legitimate and we 355 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: should get to the bottom of it. Given what you've learned, 356 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: what actions do you think Congress should take to ensure 357 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: greater transparency and accountability? Is the dealings of elected officials 358 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: in their families? 359 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: Well, I legislation that I tried to pass last year, 360 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 3: and the Democrats weren't interested in it. 361 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: They weren't interested in the. 362 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 3: Beginning because they thought Joe Biden was going to get 363 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: re elected. After the debate, they became interested in until 364 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris got put on the ticket. Then they became 365 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 3: uninterested in it again all the way to the end 366 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 3: of the Congress. But it's the Presidential Ethics for FORMAC, 367 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 3: and it significantly increases the disclosure requirements, so you can 368 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 3: have greater transparency in president's income and their immediate family's 369 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 3: income because you can hide money if your son lives 370 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 3: with you in the House, which I would argue that 371 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden spent more nights in the White House then 372 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: he spent in hotels or in that condo in California. 373 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: You need to have disclosure of your immediate family members. 374 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 3: That's what this bill would do, and I hope to 375 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 3: pass it. Obviously won't be able to take effect till 376 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: the next administration, but I tried to get it passed 377 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 3: to where it would impact this incoming administration. But again 378 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 3: the Democrats didn't want to do it because they thought 379 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 3: Harris was going to be president, and the Democrats are 380 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: only interested in ethics when it's a Republican administration. 381 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: Do you think that we have a real long term 382 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: reporting problem? I mean It's clear that the Bidens were 383 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: just playing, willing to lie. So does it have to 384 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: come through the banks or through the financial institutions? How 385 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: do you enforce it if you're dealing with a politician 386 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: who doesn't mind lying. 387 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 3: There's supposed to be checks and balances, and there were 388 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: in this case. The IRIS knew what they were doing, 389 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 3: the FBI knew what they were doing, the CIA. 390 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: Knew what they were doing, Treasury knew what they were doing. 391 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: The bank did everything right. 392 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 3: The banks reported correctly the crimes, but our government agencies 393 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: did nothing. They intentionally told the Irish was the blowers 394 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: to stand down. And I think that there are checks 395 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: and balances to where this would get caught. And then 396 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 3: you know another check in ballance. Unofficially is supposed to 397 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 3: be the maintream media. But this media had absolutely no 398 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 3: curiosity with respect to the Biden. They were very curious 399 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: about Trump and Jared Kushner and their due. 400 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: They had no curiosity with respect to the Biden. 401 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: So there are checks and balances in place, and if 402 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 3: anyone thinks, well, somehow they got away. 403 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: With it, nobody caught them. Well, they did catch them. Again. 404 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 3: The four different government agencies were investigating, but they were 405 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: told to stand down. I think just cleaning house at 406 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 3: those agencies with Cash Pattel, with John Radcliffe, with Billy 407 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 3: Long at the IRS, with the new Securities and Change Director. 408 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 3: I think that's the first step. And hopefully this disrupted 409 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 3: media and whatever emerges in the new age of media 410 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 3: with respect to Twitter and podcasts and things like that, 411 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: hopefully we can catch it. But I think ethics laws 412 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 3: because there's no definition of influence peddling, and that's what 413 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 3: my legislation defined influence pedaling. What is influence peddling and 414 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 3: this is illegal because right now, unfortunately, influence pedaling is 415 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 3: not illegal. 416 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: And I don't think you could limit like what Trump does. 417 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 3: I don't think it's right to say, well, you shouldn't 418 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 3: have any businesses, or you should divest all your assets 419 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: because I'm a Republican and I want a business guy 420 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 3: in office, you know. I think we've got to have 421 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 3: a business guy to manage the money better and manage 422 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 3: the federal workforce better. So I welcome business people in office, 423 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 3: but you just need to be transparent, and I think 424 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 3: Trump's done that. You know, he brags about his businesses, 425 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: he brags about his courses in other countries, and people 426 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 3: like that. 427 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: They want a business guy. 428 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 3: So I don't think it's a matter of seen you 429 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 3: can't be in business or owning businesses. Just be transparent 430 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: about it and disclose it. 431 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: Coming up on Mondays the inauguration, What are your feelings? 432 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: Are you looking forward to it? 433 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 2: I am looking forward to it. 434 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 3: We've tried to provide oversight on the Overside Committee, but 435 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 3: this BI administration will not turn over any documents. We 436 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 3: had a hearing about the federal workforce. As you know, 437 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 3: a significant percentage of the federal workforce in Washington, DC 438 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: is working from home because of COVID. They're not coming 439 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: to work, they're not doing their jobs, and we never 440 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 3: could get specific numbers of how many employees are actually 441 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 3: showing up to work. I think with the new Trump administration, 442 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: we'll be able to get information and we'll be able 443 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 3: to provide better oversight for the taxpayer. So we needed 444 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: new blood in Washington and I think we're going to 445 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 3: get that on Monday. 446 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: You and I think are an agreement. But explain why 447 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: you think having one big, beautiful bill is much better 448 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: than trying to divide it into two bills. 449 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 3: Well, I think that it's very difficult to govern, especially 450 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: in the House of REPRESENTA is when Stephanic and Mike 451 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: Waltz resign on January twentieth to go into the Trump administration. 452 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 2: We're not going to have. 453 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: But two seventeen to two fifteen majority minority ratio, so 454 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: we can't lose a boat. 455 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: If it's two sixteen to two sixteen the bill fails. 456 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 3: I think having one bill, get it all done, don't 457 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 3: make it linger into the fall. 458 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 2: Get it done. 459 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 3: If it's one bill, there'll be a greater sense of 460 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 3: urgency by Congress to get it passed. I think one 461 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 3: bill is the most efficient. One bill is the easiest 462 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 3: to pass, which you have to think about stuff like that. 463 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 3: You have to think you have to get to eighteen 464 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: in the House or two seventeen, whatever the number is 465 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 3: at the time, and then you have to get to 466 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 3: fifty one in the Senate. So I think this is 467 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 3: the best way, and it's what I strongly. 468 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: Endorse, having been Speaker and having once passed two reconciliations 469 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: in one year. We need this bill early. We need 470 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: for it to be big. We need to really re 471 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: energize the economy, make life more affordable, increase take on pay, 472 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: and create jobs. And if we'll do it right, we 473 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: could really have a very very good election next year 474 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: by proving that we can govern. You know, James, I've 475 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: really enjoyed working with you and your team.
