What this also brings up is 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: just how bad the deep state in this country has become, 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: because instead of focusing on things like secret agents that 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: are spying within our country, they're spoken, they're focusing on 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: a woke agenda. They're focusing on filling quotas, they're focusing 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: on the LGBTQIA and transgendered in bathrooms, and they're focused 15 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: on targeting American citizens. They're also focused on the wrongest 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: who's like grandmothers who happened to be on the lawn 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: of the Capitol on January the sixth, treating them like 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: they are the same as al Qaeda or isis tracking 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: down people that were in and around January sixth. This 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: also goes back to what we are witnessing now with 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: the EOJ, where they're wanting to spy on an enemy's list. 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: Anyone and I talked about this the other day, anyone 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: that liked to tweet retweet a tweet from Donald Trump 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: during the last four months that he was the sitting 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: president of the United States of America.

The bill would 174 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: also stop the US from removing Havana from the State 175 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Sponsor of Terrorism list, a top Cuban priority, unless a 176 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: list of conditions is quote met and in late twenty 177 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: twenty two, Roca also told the undercover FBI agent that 178 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: he traveled to Havana from Panama in twenty seventeen using 179 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: a Dominican passport rather than his US passport. He told 180 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: the FBI agent he'd been spying for Cuba quote for 181 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: almost forty years. During a meeting with the undercover FBI 182 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: officer at a food court on Miami's Brickel Avenue, Roca. 183 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: Said his intelligence activities had. 184 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: Been enormous, more than a grand slam for Cuba. At 185 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: another meeting, the undercover FBI officer questioned as little to 186 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: the Cuban regime. Roga responded angrily, all of this caught 187 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: on video, saying, quote, it's like questioning my manhood. It's 188 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: like you want me to drop them and show that 189 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: I still have testic goals. The complaint didn't specify the 190 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: information that Roca could have supplied to Cuba's government and 191 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: to their allies, or whether he received some sort of payment. 192 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: The complaint indicated that he was mostly driven by his 193 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: sympathy for the Cuban regime. A primary interest for Cuba's 194 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: spy service has long been understanding US policy towards the 195 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: island and figuring out ways to influence it. An asset 196 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: like Roca could have provided a gold mine for that 197 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: gold counterintelligence experts are now declaring, and the State Department, 198 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: as well as the intelligence community, said they will assess 199 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: the damage inflicted to the US national security by Roca's 200 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: spy The State Department spokesman said, quote, it's been over 201 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 1: twenty years since he left the State Department. At a 202 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,359 Speaker 1: court hearing in Miami, Roka, dressed in a tan jumpsuit, 203 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: cried and then looked for Lorne, watching his family as 204 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: they left the chamber. 205 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: He didn't enter a plea. 206 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: More charges are more likely than ever to be filed, 207 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: a prosecutor said. A detention hearing is set for Wednesday, 208 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: but could be moved. So what does this actually mean. 209 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: It means that we had a guy that was spying 210 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: on this country for literally forty years, giving intel to Cuba, 211 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: who could have easily been giving that intel to China 212 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: and to Russia and to many other communist countries. 213 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: That's number one. 214 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: Number two, this goes back to the biggest problem that 215 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: I have now with our clandestine services, with our intelligence community, 216 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: with our FBI, with our DOJ and honestly, the list 217 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: really does go on and on, and my problem is 218 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: specifically this what we have now is we have and 219 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: we live right now in a time where our US 220 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: government is actually not focused on the most important things 221 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: that I'm describing right now, and that is actually catching 222 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the people that are doing harm to this country. Because 223 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: instead they're focusing on hunting down grandmothers who were around 224 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: the lawn on January sixth of the Capitol. They're obsessed 225 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: with parents to go to school board meetings and refer 226 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: to them as domestic terrorists. They're obsessed with changing this 227 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: country and bringing in people that are that love socialism 228 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: and communism, and eight million people across the southern border. 229 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: Since Joe Biden has been president, we have not even 230 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: impeached a man that's keeping our borders open. In my 231 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: orcis why because they're again the deep state is obsessed 232 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: with protecting Hunter Biden, who you could also argue at 233 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: this point was basically a spy for Ukraine, for Russian 234 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: oligarchs and for the Chinese. They were doing a pay 235 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: to play scheme where if you wanted a favor from 236 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: the US government or United information or help from the Bidens, 237 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: you just had to pay millions of dollars to the 238 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: Biden crime family to get what you needed from our 239 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: US government. 240 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: Let all that sink in, and every time you think. 241 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: About the damage that has been done here to this 242 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: country and to our interests in the last forty years 243 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: because of this spy. 244 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: Just remember that during this entire time. 245 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: They were more concerned about woke propaganda, woke agenda items 246 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: in the deep state, worried about you know, women's and 247 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: men's bathrooms changing, or putting parents in jail and putting 248 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: them on terrists watch lists. They also and I forgot this, 249 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: and I just want to remind you this is all 250 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: under the Biden administration. 251 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: Remember this too. 252 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: This administration went to traditional Catholics and went to them 253 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: and tried to get them to spy on their own 254 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: parishioners and referred to them as dreams. That is what 255 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has actually been working on. Okay, that's 256 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: what the Biden administration has has literally been working on 257 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: right now, instead of focusing on real issues like what 258 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: I just described to you.

Will it happen? Would 287 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: the Republicans? What's out impeachment in this impeachment inquiry? I 288 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: am in Washington, d C. Right now and what I 289 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: can tell you after talking with several members of the House, 290 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: there is now a plan. Mike Johnson, Speak of the House, 291 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: said quote, the House will vote next week on formalizing 292 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: Joe biden impeachment inquiry. Let me give you the details 293 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: of what I was told about this again from members 294 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: of the House. The House will officially vote the week 295 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: of December the tenth on formalizing the impeachment inquiry and 296 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: to President Joe Biden to strengthen subpoena power over the 297 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: stonewalling of the Biden administration. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated 298 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: during a press conference the vote will be a big test, 299 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: to be clear, for House Republicans. Why because they hold 300 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: a very slight majority, as you may know over the 301 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: House Democrats. The measure will need nearly all Republican support. 302 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: This is part of the reason why this has taken 303 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: so long, because if you. 304 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: Don't have the votes, you don't want to bring it 305 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: to a vote. 306 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: It would be a massive defeat for Republicans and a 307 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: huge victory for the Democrats, specifically for Joe Biden. Now, 308 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: Representative Kevin McCarthy as to go back and just remind 309 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: you of how we got to where we are. He 310 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: opened the impeachment inquiry on September twelfth. Lawmakers did not, 311 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: let me say this again, did not vote to approve 312 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: the measure. If the impeachment inquiry receives the majority support 313 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: on the House floor, the inquiry will be formally adopted. 314 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: That is a status that the Speaker Johnson says will 315 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: help the Houses inquiry obtain information blocked by the war Now. 316 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson is in a tough situation right now, and 317 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: I like to just be honest about my expectations. Speaker 318 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Johnson is trying to corral some moderate Republicans to do 319 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: the right thing here. You have to understand just how 320 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: weak some of these Republicans actually are. 321 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 2: Look no further than the. 322 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: Expulsion last week of a Congressman from New York. They 323 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: have not, just to put in perspective, expelled a Senator 324 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: Menindez who had gold bars sewn into his jackets, and 325 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: they busted him being bribed by foreign countries. 326 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: That guy is still in the Senate. 327 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: So just put that into perspective of how hard it 328 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: is to deal with some of these Republicans. I'll even 329 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: go a step further the House, and it is unconscionable, 330 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: I would argue at this point has not impeached, and 331 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: they have grounds, serious grounds to impeach my Orcis. My 332 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: Orcus's job is to protect us at our borders. He 333 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: is a guy that is clearly not doing his job 334 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,239 Speaker 1: and also more importantly not even applying the laws that 335 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: we have on the books now to protecting this country. 336 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: My Orciss, there there is overwhelming easy grounds. 337 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 2: For impeachment of him. 338 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: And Republicans are the ones that are I'm trying to 339 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: use my words carefully here woosing out. They are wossing 340 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: out on getting rid of my Orcus, who has lied 341 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: to Congress, who has said countless times that our southern 342 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: border is secure, when eight million ears legal immigrants have 343 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: come across, to be very clear, have come across the 344 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: southern border under the Biden administration. There is there are 345 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: multiple times that my Orcis has lied to Congress, and 346 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: he has the laws on the books that he needs 347 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: right now to protect this country. He is not doing 348 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: his job and his sworn duty. You could easily impeach 349 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: my Orchis based on him based on the numbers of 350 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, the wide open border, and having and ordering 351 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: border patrol to actually cut through barriers to allow more 352 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: legal immigrants into this country. This is administration that actually 353 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: sues the State of Texas to cut down some of 354 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: the barriers that they are breaching, basically their authority, going 355 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: above and beyond their authority that is supposed to be 356 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: on the federal government to protect the United States of America. 357 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: They'll sue them, but they won't stop the immigrants coming 358 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: to this country. There's also a national security aspect to 359 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: my orcis as well. There have been countless people that 360 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: have been caught by border patrol who are on the 361 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: Terrace watch list. What has he said, Oh, no, big deal, 362 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We've got a secure border. Everything's fine. 363 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: So if the Republicans, and the reason why I'm telling 364 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: you about my orcis reminding you my Orcus's impeachment is 365 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: like the simplest case, have eight million people come across 366 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: the border. 367 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: Yes, did you lie about the border? Yes? 368 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: Did you lie and say the border is secure countless 369 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: times of Congress. Yes, have you lied about the number 370 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: of domestic tear Are foreign terrorists coming across the border? 371 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: Yes? 372 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: Have you lied about the fetnol that's coming across the border. Yes, 373 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: Like there are multiple reasons to impeach my orcists, and 374 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: they should be able to do it. 375 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: This shouldn't be hard, and yet. 376 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: The Republicans have not had the vote to even deal 377 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: with that. So when you look at it from that perspective, 378 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: you can't get rid of a Senator Bob Menendez who 379 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: they find gold bars sewn into his soup pockets in 380 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: his house. 381 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: The pictures are out there. Everybody knows that he did this. 382 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: The evidence is damning and overwhelming, and they can't get 383 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: rid of him. And then you have my orchists and 384 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: lying about the border and eight million people flooding across 385 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: the southern border, and you can't get rid of him. 386 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: You understand why I have concerns and the reason why 387 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy on September the twelfth did not vote to 388 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: approve this measure. Now they need to vote to approve 389 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: this measure. But again quote Johnson said yesterday, the House 390 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: has no chance if it's going to follow its constitutional 391 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: responsibility to formally adopt an impeachment inquiry on the floor 392 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: so that when the subpoenas are challenged in court, we 393 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: will not be at the apex of our constitutional authority. 394 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: So that is the argument that he's giving the members 395 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: the House. 396 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: We need to have the. 397 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: Ability the authority, and it's our responsibility to formally adopt 398 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: the impeachment inquiry so that we have the power of 399 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: subpoenas the way that we need them. Johnson said, Republican, 400 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: the Republican majority should hold strong to formalize the inquiry 401 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: because it is a legal decision, not a political one. 402 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: The way that he's framing this, I love the way 403 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: he's framing it. He's explaining the legal side of this 404 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: and why legally this is the right thing to do. Finally, 405 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: he says, quote, all the moderates in our conference understand 406 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: this is not a political decision. 407 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 2: That's what he said to reporters. This is a legal decision. 408 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: This is a constitutional decision, and whether someone is for 409 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: or against impeachment is of no importance right now. He 410 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: finally said, we have to continue our legal responsibility, and 411 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: that is solely what this vote is about. So the 412 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: preparation for this vote is incredibly important. The way that 413 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: he's laying this out, saying, look, you're not voting in 414 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: favor of impeaching him. 415 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: That's not what this vote is. 416 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: This is about the legal authority, and that's what we're 417 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: dealing with here. This is all about the legal authority now. 418 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: In preparation for the vote, we also know this. The 419 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: House Judiciary Weighs and Means and Oversight committees jointly released 420 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: a interim seventy eight page staff report yesterday in the 421 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,239 Speaker 1: evening about the Justice Department's deviations in the five year 422 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: investigation to Hunter Biden. 423 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: This thing is long. 424 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: It's seventy eight pages describing political interference clearly in this probe. 425 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's significant. 426 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: Somehow, It's republic Wilkins also believe the Biden administration's alleged 427 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: political interference in the probe is a key point for 428 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: lawmakers to consider before the formalizing impeachment inquiry vote in 429 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: preparation for potentially pursuing articles of impeachment against President Biden. 430 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: The House, as you know, launched its investigation into Joe 431 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: Biden November of twenty twenty one. They uncovered significant evidence 432 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: against him of direct payments now going into the Biden 433 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: bank account. I'm talking about the president's bank account, President 434 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's bank account from shady payments coming from China, 435 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: Ukraine and Romania which they said never happened, and guess 436 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: what it did.
