And the headline 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.840 is FBI had fourteen informants on Biden corruption but ran 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:36.400 secret opt to dismiss evidence as disinformation. It is remarkable 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.040 what John has been able to pull out here, and 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.880 rather than me trying to tell you about what he's done, 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.680 the deepest dive on we welcome back to the program. 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:46.960 John Solomon is with us. 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.960 Wow, I see a couple of names and a couple 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.680 of news organizations that look very familiar to me. 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:57.320 Yeah, listen, Greg Jarrett, Fox News, my name is on there. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.279 Attorney General Bill Barr is on the Secretary, Say, Mike 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:06.360 Pompeo's on there. Senator Senators Johnson, Lindsey Graham recently departed 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.280 and we're all sad about that. And Chuck Grassley on there, 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.160 Jim Jordan and Devin Nunez, so. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.000 So all of my friends and then I'm just labeled 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.720 as Fox News. Who are they talking about at Fox? 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.560 Who covered this the most on Fox? 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.480 Yeah? This is the only the first tronted documents. This 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.640 is just a couple of documents in the Intelligence Commute. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.679 There are tens of thousands of pages more that we 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.480 will be getting, hopefully from the FBI and the Justice Department. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.399 This will be a significant unraveling of Round River. But 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.680 first let's tell people what round River is. It's not 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.839 an investigation, it's a counterintelligence operation. What does that mean? 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.319 FBI agents, FBI analysts can do things that they couldn't 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.000 do if they were predicating an investigation against you or 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.559 me or anyone. They can go out and they're trying 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.320 to combat a narrative. The narrative is called the Ukraine narrative. 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.080 What is that narrative? That Hunter Biden was making money 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.800 off a corrupt company in Ukraine and at his father, 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.960 the company and the people around Hunter Biden were trying 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.880 to gain influence in the Ukraine administration or Biden Obama 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.400 administration because of that relationship. That narrative we now know 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.600 to be one hundred percent prove it. Remember what James 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.000 Comber's report put out all the evidence that was put 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.800 out there. But in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, after 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.760 the impeachment trial of President Trump, Democrats were trying to 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.680 make that narrative go away. They were calling it a 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.720 conspiracy theory. The FBI's Counterintelligence Division, under the name of 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.200 the Round River Operation, was trying to aid that effort. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:42.120 They were trying to neutralize the Ukraine narrative and essentially 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.200 protect Joe Biden Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, And so they 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.720 take all the figures in this one spreadsheet that we 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.400 made public today thanks to the President declassifying it. And 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.560 by the way, let me disclose my role here because 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.160 I'm more than a journalist on this. I'm the chairman 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.120 of the White House Government Transparency Task Force. So I 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.840 requested that these documents be to cost if the President 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.280 did so. In my role in government, I got these 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.520 documents to cost of my role as a journalists, I'm 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.680 writing and explaining about them. These documents show that they 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.280 took the sixty or seventy people that were at the 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.639 heart of the impeachment trial and they divided them into 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.720 two camps. If you were Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:22.200 Hunter Biden, or any Democrat people associated with Barisma. You 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.440 were targets or victims of Russian disinformation, regardless of the facts. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.079 That's where you got locked into. If you were Jim 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.280 Jordan or Fox News or Sean Hannity or Greig Jared, 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.360 John Solomon, Senator Grassley, Senator Johnson, Senator Graham, and you 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.360 were asking questions to get to the bottom of the 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:44.000 truth about Hunter, Biden and Variusmath, you were purveyors or 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.600 conduits of Russian disinformation. So that's how the universe gets divided, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.640 and then from that many things start to happen. Perhaps 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.640 the most troubling of the things that we know of 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.800 is that this FBI team went in These are a 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.560 group of analysts, by the way, not agents, but analysts. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.240 They went into the confidential human source files of people 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.000 who are providing information about Joe Biden, and they marked 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.400 those files to be Russian disinformation. They essentially neutralized or 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.840 disabled those informants from being able to use it be 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.680 used in future criminal cases against Joe Biden, Hutter Biden, 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.480 or other people, maybe the Ukrainians. Now that is what 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.440 these documents show. It was a neutralization effort. It is 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.479 the mirror reverse mirror image of Crossfire, Hurricane and Russia 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.440 coclusion and the first operation. The goal was to take 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:41.520 democratic opposition research Russia collusion allegations from Christopher Steele bought 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.920 and paid for by the Clinton campaign and pretend they 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.680 were real and investigate Donald Trump. When that fizzled out 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.280 in the spring of twenty nineteen, when Bob Moller said 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.920 no collusion, when he closed down his Special Console investigation, 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:58.440 the FBI flipped to protecting the next Democrat presidential candidate 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.839 by trying to portray legitimate information coming in from FBI 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.440 informants and dismiss it as Russian disinformation. And then anyone 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.200 who dare ask about it, well, they got pegged or 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.440 called the conduit of Russian disinformation. That's what these files show. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.840 I suspect we're going to learn a lot more when 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.719 the FBI comes out at cash. Matel announced today he 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.919 is investigating this. He believed he's troubled by the behavior 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.400 of the FBI in round River's trying to get to 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.440 the bottom of it. The most important thing he wanted 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.440 people to know today. The Foreign Influenced Task Force, which 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.919 ran this operation has been disabled. It no longer exists. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.680 It was shut down by Caspertel when he came in. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.080 But what it may have done and whether it rises 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.800 to criminality or some other disciplinary action that's under investigation 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:45.359 right now. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.720 I just want you to go into more detail. So 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:54.120 the FBI us by agency has got derogatory evidence? Is 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.320 how you write it about Joe Biden from fourteen different informants, 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:03.840 but embarked on a secret operation round River to tamp 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:09.719 down Ukrainian corruption, the scandal engulfing the Biden family during 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:14.320 the twenty twenty election at designating people like as you 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:20.000 mentioned yourself, Greg Jarrett, Fox News, Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:24.640 the members of Congress that you mentioned. You know, this 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.160 was our story. This is I think nobody covered it. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.719 Nobody came close to covering this thing as much. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.880 As we did. And they did all of this purposefully. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.520 So it's almost like it kind of reminds me, or 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.520 sounds like to me, the former KGB and if you 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.080 dare to speak out against the state, they turn on you. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.840 And it sounds like the deep state operatives involved in 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.640 this knew damn well that it was true what you 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.360 were saying. And Greg was saying and what we were 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:05.160 reporting and then decided, no, we're gonna turn it on them. 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.120 Am I is that a good summary of it? 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.080 I think that that's what this is going to turn 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.840 out to be. And you know, we talk about the 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.760 deep state putting a thumb on the scale of an election, 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.840 and that's certainly what they did in twenty sixteen by 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.960 trying to ramp up a fake criminal investigation of Donald 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.800 Trump based on Hillary Clinton's APPO research. By twenty twenty, 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.000 they're putting an entire body on the election scale. They 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.480 are putting entire weight. They're going to protect Joe Biden 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.520 no matter what the evidence of the FBI's informants are doing. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.640 And if that means neutralizing Bill Barr, who by the way, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.400 ordered a criminal investigation into hunter Byden not get into 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.640 that a second, that's what they're going to do. If 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.520 it means dirtying up informants and making it look like 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.239 they're even though many some of these informants were working 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.200 for the FBI on the way back to twenty eighties, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.120 are long term trusted informants, right, and they're getting neutralized 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.400 and being called Russian disinformation, which is going to kill 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.760 their relationship with the FBI, and then there may be 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.880 a third action, which is one of the things that 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.080 cash Betel said today. I'm going to read this particular. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.800 I think it's very very important. We remain concerned that 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.840 defensive briefings to Congress may have been overly focused on 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.840 just Biden and Ukraine rather than the balanced picture of 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.120 all foreign threats. What is he saying there? The Congress 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.400 may have been told by the FBI that, Hey, don't 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.640 go into this whole Hunter Biden thing that you're investigating 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.600 because it's Russian disinformation. They may have been obstructing Congress 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.040 from getting to the truth about Hunter Biden and Ukraine 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.600 before the twenty twenty elections. So they're dirting up informants. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.760 They're calling the sitting Attorney General of the United States 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.960 a conduit of Russian disinformation. He wasn't. He was trying 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.600 to get to the bottom of information. News and journalists 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.640 are being a Sully Tox news drag Jarrett and the 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:45.079 others as Russian disinformation, all in an effort to make 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.960 Joe Biden look better than the evidence. And they continue 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.480 to keep Donald Trump pinned down by the intelligence. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.160 So remember, but we had a lot of facts that 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:56.280 we put on the table. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.199 John. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:02.760 You know, remember the infamous GMA interview. Hunter Biden sits 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:07.040 on the board of Barisma, and you know this big 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:12.600 oil and energy conglomerate which had been under investigation. And 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.800 then we have two issues happening simultaneously. You know, you're 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.840 not getting the money. You're not getting the billion dollars 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.839 or whatever the amount was. You're not getting it. You 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:27.079 have six hours before I leave and unless you fire 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.280 the prosecutor investigating his son. 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.600 So we have that. There's no ambiguity to that. That's 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:34.040 a fact. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.840 Am I wrong? There's a lot more facts we know. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.360 Remember in twenty nineteen, I. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.880 Didn't well, I want to go through the systematic. We 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.400 also know that that Hunter had no experience he said 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:49.760 any experience and energy, oil, gas coal, anything? 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:50.520 None? 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.680 Okay, then why are you getting all of this money? 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:53.920 I have? 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.000 I complained, if you want, I have the tape. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:01.240 And there's been a lot of miss information about me, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.080 not about my dad. Nobody buys that, but advised this 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.240 idea that I was unqualified to be on the board. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.760 What were your qualifications to be on the board of Maarisma? 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.840 Well, I was vice chairmer of the board of Amtrak 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.319 for five years. I was the chairman of the board 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:14.240 of the UN. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.040 World Food Program. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.600 I was a lawyer for Boys Schiller Flexner, one of 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.880 the most prestigious law firms in the world. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.640 You didn't have any extensive knowledge about natural gas or 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.120 Ukraine itself. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.680 Though, No, But I think that I had as much 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.000 knowledge as anybody else that was on the board, if 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.520 not more. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.880 Okay, now we do know he got paid all that money. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:38.120 We do know Joe withheld taxpayer dollars from the Ukrainians 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.360 until they fired the prosecutor investigating his son. That's all incontrovertible. Correct, 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.839 that's right, it is, And there's no Russian disinformation. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:47.720 There is there, John none. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.600 And let me tell you about things that happened in 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.600 the last couple of years, because we continue to fight 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.920 for the truth. You and I have been shooting to 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.480 get records and we've been again. So one of the 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.560 things that was called the conspiracy theory back in twenty 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.160 nineteen was that Joe Biden intentionally withheld the money and 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.400 didn't listen to the career people. Joe Biden said, I 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.000 followed the career advice A couple of years ago. You'll 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.200 remember this because we did it on your show. I 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.040 got the document showing the career people actually told Joe 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.400 Biden to approve the billion, don't withhold it, and that 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.240 the prosecutor he was threatening to fire was actually doing 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.800 a good job. In fact, they sent them a letter 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.560 saying you're doing a good job. When those documents came out, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.560 one of the greatest gymnastic flitch and political truth occurred. 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.960 The Washington Post came out and said, oh, oh, John 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.120 Solomon has these documents. Well, guess what we found out. Actually, 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:40.439 Joe Biden did change the career People's recommendation. He called 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.480 an audible. This is what they wrote in their truth 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.640 launch are their fact checker, their famous factchecker, And the 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.960 entire story that we were force fed and told that 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.560 we were lying about in twenty nineteen suddenly became truth. 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.320 Joe Biden, on his own made a decision to withhold 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.160 the billion dollars and asked the fire a prosecutor who 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.360 was investigating a Sens company who the career people thought 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.280 one was doing a good job and two believed they 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.000 should get the billion dollars. So that was a major 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.439 turning point in the narrative, and as you know, later 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.560 the IRS agents the whistleblowers would come out and say, 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.240 we had all this evidence of criminality on Hunter Biden 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.000 in Ukraine and we weren't allowed to pursue it. One 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.520 of the things the IRS agents provided Congress was proof 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.959 in the hands of the FBI and the IRS that 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:29.559 Hunter Biden had not paid American taxes on his Burisma money. Now, unfortunately, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.959 they weren't allowed to bring those charges because statute of 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.320 limitations were allowed to expire. But those are things that 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.000 we learned since twenty twenty that are now facts and evidence. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.199 What we were told by Joe Biden was never true. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.320 What we were told by fact checkers. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.440 But the FBI, can I remind people of Joe and 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:48.360 Son of a Bee? 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.760 They fired them. Let me play this, so, they. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.400 Said, had they were walking out to Prescott. 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:52.719 I said no. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.000 I said, I'm not going to go. We're not going 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:55.400 to give you. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:56.120 The billion dollars. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.120 They said, you have no author are You're not the president? 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.679 The president said, I said, call him. I said, I'm 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.439 telling you're not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.199 not getting a billion. I'm gonna be leaving here. I 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.080 think it was what six hours. I look as I'm 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.160 leaving the six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired, you're 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.000 not getting the money. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.600 Oh, son of them got fired. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.079 Oh, I think it all fits together, doesn't it, John. 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.319 It does that? Man. We had that video Right from 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.679 the beginning of our stories that we wrote. There was 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.280 an effort to make us all look like conspiracy. Ferris. 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.840 History has passed and we now know that Hunter Biden 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.360 had a relationship with a crupt energy company. He did 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.959 make lots of money doing it. He and his partners 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.960 were talking to Joe Biden, and Joe Biden an occasion 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.600 called in even to the brief FA board meeting that's 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.079 all now in evidence, and Joe Biden changed the recommendations 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.200 of career officials. They wanted him to give the billion 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.320 dollars he talked about withholding and keep the prosecutor. He 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.640 fired the prosecutor and withheld the billion dollars. That is 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.880 now the story. But during the time of twenty twenty, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.040 when we were trying to make it between Donald Trump 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.880 and Joe Biden, the FBI was trying to keep that 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:08.440 narrative from becoming true. Keep that narrative from being fully 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.319 investigated to get the bottom of the truth. That should 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.599 trouble all of us. It doesn't matter whether you're Democrat, independent, Republican. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.840 The FBI should not be in the business of regulating 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.320 political narratives. And as cash Betel said in his letter 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.200 to a task force today, I'm trump. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.600 John, rather than me rushing you through this because it 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.720 does get complicated. And what you're doing is you're validating 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.800 years of work and coverage that all of us devoted 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.800 to this topic. And I don't want to short change 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.080 this audience. I want them to fully understand. Can you 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.840 stay a couple more minutes, I'd love to quick break. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.000 We'll come back, all right, John Solomon. We're going to 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.480 get back to him in a second. FBI had fourteen 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.320 informants on Biden corruption. This is as it relates to Ukraine, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.920 and this is about Hunter, and this is about parisma. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.200 In the last half hour, we played and reminded you 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.280 of what Joe Biden was bragging about. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.120 You're not getting a billion dollars. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.680 Why would a vice president of our country ever say 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.280 to Ukraine a billion dollars in aid to prove to 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.680 them you're not getting it unless you fire some some prosecutor. Well, 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.120 it turns out that prosecutor was investigating his son Hunter, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.960 so he used American to taxpayer dollars to prevent that 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.560 investigation from moving forward. And he's bragged, son of him Bee, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.160 they fired him because he leveraged your money. Then of 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.600 course we have Hunter. Why was he sitting on the 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.000 board of Baris anyway? I believe at the time he 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.600 was admitted to, you know, being addicted to drugs. He 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.800 goes on Good Morning America, the worst interview I ever saw. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:52.320 Any experience and energy. No, it's an energy conglomerate, energy, oil, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.400 gas coal. Any experience in Ukraine? 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:55.880 No? 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.720 None? Then why were you being paid all this money? 0:15:59.120 --> 0:15:59.640 Who knew? 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.600 And now what John is now focusing on and what 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:09.080 Round River this investigation is showing by exposing the counterintelligence 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:16.440 operation to demonize and to delegitimize anybody that had been 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.280 telling the American people the truth and that this was 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:21.640 a government run operation. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.640 It had a name. It's called Round River. 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.080 It was launched during the twenty twenty election by a 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.240 task force within the FBI. Thank god, Cash Bettel, to 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.720 his credit, has shut this entire thing down, and he 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.760 said it was terminated now on his watch, its activities 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:40.000 are now under investigation. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:40.320 Now. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.960 The question is, and I want John to comment on 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.920 this part. Was it effective? In other words, did the media, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.360 you know, the basically an extension of the press office 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.920 of all things Democratic Radical Socialist Party in America? 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.240 How did they report things? 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.960 Did they do what we were doing on this show 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.040 on Hannity the TV show. Were they reporting what John 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.920 Solomon was reporting? Were they analyzing it the way Greg 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.639 Jarrett was analyzing it. John's name is in this, John Solomon, 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:16.320 Greg Jarrett's name is in this. Mike Pompeo, Bill Barr, 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.560 all the congressmen that we have on regularly, like Jim 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.600 Jordan and so many others. Oh and Fox News has mentioned. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.800 I wonder what show they're talking about. But I know, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.880 let's listen to the media coverage here. 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.320 You know, there is absolutely no evidence to indicate that 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.280 either Biden did anything improper. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:35.120 What bothers? 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.399 You most, what are the biggest red flags in this 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:38.439 whole Ukrainian affair. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.200 Well, one thing I would say, Alex is that it's 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.879 complex in part because it's a conspiracy theory. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.520 Of course, the Biden you know, fake conspiracy that he's 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:47.080 trying to make. 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:51.239 It and then reframes it as a criminal conspiracy to 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:52.159 attack Joe Biden. 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.200 The Biden campaign Saturday issued a statement calling the President's 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.479 side of the story a conspiracy theory. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.240 Now President Trump is again insisting today that reporters should 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.399 dig into a widely discredited We need to emphasize that 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.080 this is widely discredited, a conspiracy theory involving Joe Biden, 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.399 Ukraine and Ukrainian prosecutor that he helped get fired. At 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.600 Washington Posts and a whole bunch of other outlets have 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.280 said this is a conspiracy theory. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:16.960 It's bogus. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.679 President Trump insisting somebody should dig into a conspiracy theory 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.680 involving Biden, Ukraine and a Ukrainian prosecutor. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.639 I said, you're not getting the billion nine we'd be 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:26.120 leaving here. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.919 I think it was what six hours. I look at 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.199 them leaving the six hours. 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.080 If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.679 Oh son of them got fired. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.320 So here's the conspiracy theory. The Trump campaign has been 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:42.639 urging Ukraine to investigate. Essentially, they claim Joe Biden used 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.639 his power as Vice president to protect his son Hunter Biden. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.560 I said, you're not getting the billion. Nine we'd be 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.439 leaving here. And I think it was what six hours. 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.720 I look at him leaving in six hours. If the 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.000 prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.520 Oh son of them got fired. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.679 President Trump in the Oval office saying somebody should look 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.440 into a conspiracy theory involving his political rival. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.479 Joe Biden said, I'm not going to We're not going 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.240 to give you the billion dollars. I said, you have 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.800 no authority, you're not the president. The President said, I said, 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.040 call them. I said, I'm telling you're not getting a 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.920 billion dollars. I said, you're not getting a billion, and I'm 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.000 gonna be leaving here. I think it was what six hours. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.320 I look, I said'm leaving the six hours. If the 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.560 prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.159 Oh son of them got fired. 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.000 John. The media took it hook line at Sinker. 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.800 They did they listen? They were co conspirators in Russia, 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.560 a collusion, and they were co conspirators and covering up 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.119 the Biden corruption scandal and keeping the American public from 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.320 getting an honest answer before the twenty twenty election. That 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.399 is one of the key things that you see the 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.320 FBI understood. They realized as soon as you start saying 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.639 it's Russian disinformation, you're going to scare the media away. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.199 And it's such a remarkable interjection in our elections, buy 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.119 our intelligence and law enforcement cunity. They're supposed to stay neutral, 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:07.160 they're supposed to just do crimes and in the security threats. 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:11.000 And as you saw in FBI Director cash Hotel statement today, 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.200 he's concerned that they engaged in politics. So this is 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.600 going to be a big thing. Now here's something very 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.080 important if you start an operation like this. So here's 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.359 what we don't do once you make the designations. What 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.520 did the FBI do next? And I fear though I 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.080 don't know yet. We're going to wait and see what 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:32.760 we get. But it's possible that these designations forced some 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.520 people to undergo criminal investigations, mean they were put under 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.879 criminal investigations. We need to find out if that happened. Remember, 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.920 Rudy Giuliani claimed all of his records were taken and 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.720
