1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Welcome its verdict. Was Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you,

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: and we have got two major stories that we're going

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: to have to deal with. One of them deals with

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and dited on nine tax related charges, three

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: of them felonies, and we're going to break down these

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: charges for you so that you understand exactly what's happening

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: with that. Also, there was a very interesting questioning that

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: took place in the judiciary of the FBI Director, Chrisopher Ray,

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: and there was some pretty intense back and force between

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz and the FBI director.

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: We're going to run through all of that for you

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: as well.

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: But Senator, we were not expecting this headline that Hunter

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Biden would be indicted on nine tax related charges, three

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: of them felonies. This is obviously significant, especially when they

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: thought they were going to have this sweetheart plea deal

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: that the last second exploded because of whistleblowers.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: So how promising is this.

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: It's a fifty six page indictment filed and I don't

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: record in LA something that's never happened before, or is

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: this still going to be a big Well, yeah, we

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: indict in but he's still going to get a sweetheart deal.

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: What's your reaction, Well, listen when you say we were

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: not expecting this indictment. I don't think that's entirely accurate.

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Once the sweetheart plea deal collapsed, and it collapsed because

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: there was public scrutiny. It collapsed because the IRS whistleblowers

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 3: came forward. It collapsed because the House representatives held hearings.

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: It collapsed because the federal district judge realized that signing

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: off on this sweetheart deal would profoundly compromise the integrity

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: of the court system. Once it collapsed, a larger indictment

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: was much much more likely. This indictment that came down

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: yesterday is nine different counts. It includes failure to file

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: and pay taxes, It includes evasion of assessment, and it

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: includes a false or fraudulent tax return. Three of the

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: nine counts are felonies, and according to the Special Council,

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden quote engaged in a four year scheme to

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: not pay at least one point four million dollars in

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: taxes that he owed from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen.

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: Now one point four million dollars is an awful lot

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: of money. Hunter Biden eventually did pay his taxes he

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: got a sweetheart loan from a quote friend, But before

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: he did so, according to the prosecutors, hunter Biden included

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: quote false business deductions in order to evade assessment of

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities he faced. Prosecutors

45
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: also allege in the indictment that he quote subverted the

46
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 3: payroll in tax withholding process of his own company by

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 3: withdrawing millions of dollars outside of its payroll and tax

48
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: withholding process. The prosecutor is further alleged that hunter Biden

49
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: quote spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather

50
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: than paying his tax bills, and the indictment states that

51
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: between quote twenty sixteen in October fifteenth, twenty twenty, the

52
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: defendant that would be Hunter Biden, spent this money on drugs,

53
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 3: escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing,

54
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: and other items of a personal nature. In short, everything

55
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 3: but his taxes.

56
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: You look at that list that you just described there.

57
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: They knew all of this, we assume when they gave

58
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: him the sweetheart deal.

59
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: So how did we go?

60
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: And I think this is the part that's going to

61
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: frustrate so many people that are listening right now. How

62
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: did we go from a sweetheart deal to a fifties

63
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: six page indictment and an indictment where they couldn't in

64
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: theory get one before. And we can go back and

65
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: remind people about, you know, all of the shadiness of well,

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: can I get them to indict in Washington, d C?

67
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Can I get them indict in California where some of

68
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: the crimes were committed. The statue of limitations was running

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: out on some of the most egregious tax crimes. But

70
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: to put it differently, maybe from what I said earlier,

71
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm shocked at now that we're looking at a fifty

72
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: six page indictment filled with all of these different issues,

73
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: and it goes back to sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen

74
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: taxes you know, on this timeline. But again, the statue

75
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: of limitations apparently on some of the worst stuff is

76
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: already you know, statues already hit.

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: So therefore we couldn't go back to those.

78
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: Now, Look, that's exactly right. These facts were all known.

79
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: They were known a year ago, they were known two

80
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 3: years ago, they were known three years ago. They were

81
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: known four years ago. The Department of Justices dragged its feet.

82
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: It has not wanted to bring this indictment the sweetheart deal.

83
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: They were prepared to get signed off and be done

84
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: and give Hunter Biden a complete get out of jail

85
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: free card. The piece they didn't count on was the

86
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: IRS whistleblowers coming forward and when they did so, when

87
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: they brought forth testimony that the Biden Department of Justice

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: was covering up for Hunter Biden, that the Attorney General

89
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: had lied to Congress under oath, which is a felony,

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: that the Attorney General had committed obstruction of justice, which

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: is a felony, And that in particular, the Department of

92
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: Justice had blocked investigation, any investigation into Joe Biden. That

93
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: puts so much pressure on the court that the court

94
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: could not sign off on the sweetheart deal. Now, I

95
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: want to address in a minute the issue of Joe Biden,

96
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: but let me just point out something extraordinary in this indictment.

97
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: So this indictment lists some of Hudder Biden's expenditures, and

98
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: when the prosecutors say he lived a lavish lifestyle, that

99
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: does not begin to describe it. So, for example, ATM

100
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: Cash withdraws. How much do you think he withdrew from

101
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: ATMs in twenty sixteen?

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Knowing it's a hunter Biden, there's no telling because I

103
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: can see this guy going high as a kite up there,

104
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: for whatever nefarious reasons, grabbing as much cash out as

105
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: he can.

106
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: So the answer is two hundred thousand dollars and nine

107
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two dollars. Holy crap, two hundred grand.

108
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: You ever pulled two hundred grand out of an ATM?

109
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: No? I think my only course of YEARN on my

110
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: card is like five hundred bucks.

111
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm confident I've never had a year in my

112
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: life that I pulled two hundred grand out of ATM.

113
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: All Right, so he pulled two hundred thousand, nine hundred

114
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: and twenty two dollars in twenty sixteen, how much do

115
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: you think he pulled out in twenty seventeen.

116
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: I'm assuming in the hundreds of thousands.

117
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: Again, five hundred and three thousand, six hundred and fourteen dollars.

118
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Can we just talk about the cash aspect of that

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: for a second before you go to the next year's

120
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars of cash. Just having that much

121
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: cash in hand over a twelve months, he's more than

122
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, right, more than one thousand a day?

123
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: But what are you doing with that amount of cash?

124
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: And it goes back to suspicious activity reports of all

125
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: the bank accounts. Cash is king when you're doing I

126
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: legal activities. And that's why you might if.

127
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: You were buying drugs, if you were buying crack, if

128
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 3: you were paying prostitutes. That's how you spend five hundred

129
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 3: and three thousand, six hundred and fourteen dollars and twenty

130
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: seventeen now five hundred grand in ATMs. I actually think,

131
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: all right, so I'm fifty two, about to be fifty

132
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: three years old. I believe in my entire life from

133
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: birth to age fifty two, I don't think I've pulled

134
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: five hundred and three thousand dollars out of ATMs and

135
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: fifty three years I was shocked if I pulled that

136
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: much out.

137
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if the average American pulls any

138
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: more than seven to eight nine grand a year out,

139
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: and that that would be I would think probably on

140
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: the high end, because most people.

141
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: To be honest, most shares I probably pulled. I don't

142
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: know two three thousand dollars out of ATM. I don't

143
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: know there's been a year that I pulled ten thousand

144
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: out of an ATM. It's you know, I pull a

145
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: couple hundred dollar dollars off to have just cash if

146
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: I need to, like, you know, pay expenses, But most

147
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: things I do in credit cards, Like five hundred and

148
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: three thousand, six hundred and fourteen. All right, that was

149
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen. What do you think he's spent just on

150
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: ATM cash withdrawals in twenty eighteen.

151
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess over a half million dollars.

152
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: Again, seven hundred and seventy two thousand dollars and five

153
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: hundred and forty eight dollars. Wow, Like, holy crap, who

154
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: the hell that that's two grand a day? Who pulls

155
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars a day? And by the way, that's

156
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars every day. That's on Monday, that's on Tuesday,

157
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: that's on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and back on Monday. Like,

158
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: what are you doing with seven hundred and seventy two thousand,

159
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: five hundred and forty eight dollars in the year twenty eighteen?

160
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: All right?

161
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: I will be completely honest with you, I don't know

162
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: what the market rate is for drugs.

163
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

164
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how much how much a cost to

165
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: do math or crack or any of these things. But

166
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: a five hundred thousand dollars habit, to me, seems like

167
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: that would be an insane amount that would probably at

168
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: some point put you under if you were actually consuming

169
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: that much that much in drug use. So I'm assuming

170
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: this money is either going to other nefarious things like

171
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: prostitution and who knows what else he could have been

172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: doing illegally with his cash in possible payoffs.

173
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'm going to say, there are

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: other accounts that they're mentioned. And then twenty nineteen he

175
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: has an amazing drop off. I don't know why twenty

176
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: nineteen was a cheap year, but he falls all the

177
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: way down to one hundred eighty six nine hundred and

178
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: twenty dollars. And my guess is, I think one hundred

179
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: and eighty six thousand is more than ever pulled out

180
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: of an ATM in fifty two years. But that was

181
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: a really mild year compared to his seven hundred and

182
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: seventy two thousand dollars year. So from twenty sixteen to

183
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, Hunter Biden pulled one million, six hundred and

184
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 3: sixty four thousand and four dollars out of ATMs. All right,

185
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: next category, payments various women twenty sixteen. What do you

186
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: think it is?

187
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: Payments various women?

188
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: I don't even know what that means. That that's how

189
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: the prosecutors have described it. I'm quoting it. It simply says,

190
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: payments dash various women.

191
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: Fifty grand.

192
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 3: So twenty sixteen is a cheap year, four four hundred dollars.

193
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: Okay, that's that.

194
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what payments various women means, but four

195
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: grand is compared to the numbers we were talking about,

196
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: relatively small. What do you think twenty seventeen.

197
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: Is I'm assuming you got rid into it, So let's

198
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: call it thirty grand.

199
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 3: One hundred and thirty eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: seven dollars. Wow, Payments various women. What do you think

201
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen is?

202
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: Double?

203
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: It?

204
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: Three hundred and eighty three thousand, five hundred and forty

205
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: eight dollars. And then twenty nineteen, I don't know, he

206
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: had a down year. Twenty nineteen it drops to just

207
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty six thousand, four hundred and twenty seven.

208
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: All right, Next category, Clothing and Accessory twenty sixteen, seventy

209
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: eight thousand dollars, twenty seventeen, one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars,

210
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, one hundred and fifty one thousand dollars, twenty nineteen,

211
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: fifty three thousand dollars. How about tuition, extra education, extracurricular

212
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars, twenty seventeen,

213
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: ninety four thousand dollars, twenty eighteen, ninety three thousand dollars,

214
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, it's a cheap year, four thousand dollars. Health

215
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: beauty Pharmacy twenty sixteen, fifty four thousand dollars, twenty seventeen,

216
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten thousand dollars, twenty eighteen forty six

217
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, twenty nineteen, twenty six thousand dollars. Let's go

218
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: down to by the way.

219
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: This is this is what burning through cash sounds like.

220
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: All right, So you talked about his spending money on prostitutes.

221
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: There's actually a separate category that the prosecutors have enumerated

222
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: called adult entertainment.

223
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: So that would count the payments to women that would

224
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: be separate.

225
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: We assume, so twenty sixteen, four thousand, four hundred and

226
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: eleven dollars to adult entertainment, pretty mild year. He was

227
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: actually a pretty good boy. In twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,

228
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 3: not so much. Fifty six thousand, eight hundred and forty

229
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: six dollars in adult entertainment twenty seventeen. I don't know

230
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: what the hell happened in twenty seventeen. Trump became president.

231
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: He got pissed off, He went out and parted his

232
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: ass off. One hundred thousand dollars and three hundred and

233
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 3: thirty dollars in adult entertainment in twenty seventeen, and then

234
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen it gets back down to a lower level.

235
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: Twenty seven thousand, three hundred and seventy three dollars. This

236
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: is And by the way, I'll give you one other category.

237
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: There are multiple other categories here, but i'll read one

238
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: another Rehab, drug and alcohol twenty sixteen seven thousand, six

239
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: hundred dollars twenty seventeen, twenty eight thousand, six hundred dollars

240
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen thirty five thousand, six hundred and sixty nine dollars.

241
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: So he's paying thirty five grand on rehab the same

242
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: year he's spending one hundred grand in an adult entertainment. He's

243
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: spending three hundred and eighty three thousand dollars on payments

244
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: to various women, and he's spent spending seven hundred and

245
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: seventy two thousand dollars on ATM cash withdraws. When they

246
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: say that's an extravagant spending level, that ain't even close

247
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: to describing the facts they lay out.

248
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about blackout coffee. Bidenomics is a

249
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: complete and total disaster. But I don't let that or

250
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: any of these other issues ruin my day. You want

251
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,440

Speaker 1: hot America first cup of blackout coffee. Now, if you

00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: why I have to have a good cup of coffee,

258
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: not average, but a really good cup of coffee. Blackout

259
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: coffee is one hundred percent of America, zero percent woke company.

260
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: You know there's a bunch of woke caffee companies out there.

276
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: here and the spending, and I think this is where

277
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: we should really hone in on following the money which

278
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: goes back to Joe Biden, and the reality is all

279
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: of the spinning habits that we just talked about and

280
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: the way that they described it as again, the definditant

281
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: engaged in a four year scheme to not pay his taxes.

282
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: That's what it says in this United States District Court

283
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: for the Central District, California.

284
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: And they called a scheme.

285
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: They said, it's evasion of taxes, failure to file and

286
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: pay taxes, and false and fraudulent tax returns, a four

287
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: year scheme to avoid over one point four million dollars

288
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: in tax obligations, and he filed false returns. But then

289
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: you go back and follow the money center, and that's

290
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: where this really matters, where the rubber hits the road.

291
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: What were the services rendered for the amount of cash

292
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: coming in? He didn't offer any services, which goes back

293
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: to the money laundering, which goes back to everything we've

294
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: learned about Joe Biden. And we also have again from

295
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: James Comer and Jim Jordan that there were a dozens

296
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: of emails directly from the Burner email accounts of now

297
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden without his son being sees heed on them.

298
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: Two Hunter Biden's business associates and partners. So the idea

299
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: that he wasn't involved in his son's business world is

300
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: a flat out lie.

301
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: Well, on the face of it, the indictments that were

302
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: just entered in yesterday against Hunter Biden, if he's convicted,

303
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: could result in seventeen years of prison sentence. That's a

304
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: long time. Seventeen years is not a slap on the wrist.

305
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: It's not mild now, mind you. The Biden DOJ desperately

306
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: tried to give Hunter Biden a slap on the wrist,

307
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: and the public scrutiny that was caused by the irs whistleblowers.

308
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: Blew that plan.

309
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: But Ben, look, you know me, Well, what do you

310
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: think enrages me the most about this indictment?

311
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: I would assume the money laundering and the crimes is

312
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: the way I would describe it in my opinion against

313
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: women that he exploited.

314
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: So that is infuriating. But that's not what enrages me

315
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: the most. What enrages me the most are the words

316
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: that are missing. And the words that are missing from

317
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: this indictment are Joseph Robinette Biden junior.

318
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 2: Look, so how do we keep those words out of there?

319
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 3: So we have talked at length on this podcast, The

320
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: Biden doj was obsessively focused on protect the big guy,

321
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: protect Joe Biden. We talked about early on Joe wanted

322
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: to protect his son. Look, that's admiral let every father

323
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 3: wants to protect his son. But at some point the

324
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: political apparatriics, at some point, the elected Democrats, at some point,

325
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: the the corrupt corporate media decided, Okay, Hunter Biden is

326
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: not savable. He's so messed up, he's going down, he

327
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: is doing jail time, and they made the decision to

328
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: throw Hunter Biden overboard. But the focus, the overwhelming focus,

329
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: is we must, must, must, must, must protect Joe Biden. Now,

330
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: we've also talked at length on this podcast how the

331
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: only reason this is a matter of public concern is

332
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: because of Joe Biden. Listen, Hunter, I've never met Hunter Biden.

333
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 3: I don't know the guy, but everything about him, he

334
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: seems like a deeply disturbed, sad individual. He is wrestling

335
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 3: with demons. He has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction

336
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: his entire life. If his name were Hunter Smith, you

337
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't be talking about this, And if we

338
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: encountered him, we would feel bad for him. We'd hope

339
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: he get treatment. We'd hope he get help. But if

340
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: his name were Hunter Smith, he would not have made

341
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: millions of dollars. There's nothing about Hunter Biden's skill set.

342
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: There's nothing about his experience. There's nothing about what he's

343
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 3: able to produce that would cause anyone to pay him

344
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: millions of dollars. Look across the entire scope of the country.

345
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: Find one other crackhead who gets paid millions of dollars.

346
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: They don't to make millions of dollars, you have to

347
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: perform some service.

348
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: That is of value.

349
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: The only service Hunter Biden performed was he delivered favors

350
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: from Daddy. And understand, this is not an access case.

351
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: This is not about he's a lobbyist. This is about

352
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: I believe Joe Biden doing favors explicitly for the people

353
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: who gave millions of dollars to his son, and also

354
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: Joe Biden being prepared to exact retribution against the people

355
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: who refused to pay millions of dollars to his son.

356
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: We also know that James Comer has cataloged at great

357
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: length a substantial sum of money that the Chinese communists

358
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: paid to Hunter Biden, that the Ukrainians paid to Hunter Biden,

359
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 3: that the Russians paid to Hunter Biden, A substantial amount

360
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: of that made it directly to Joe Biden's bank account,

361
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 3: So this was understand It is Joe Biden that was

362
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 3: leading what you've referred to as the Biden crime crime family,

363
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: and this indictment, it's designed on the face of it

364
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: to look tough. Wow, we're going after Hunter. But every

365
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 3: one of the offenses is specifically limited to Hunter. There

366
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: is nothing. So David Wis and the Biden Department of

367
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: Justice allow the statute of limitations to run on all

368
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: of the violations concerning China. They just let it run.

369
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: So this doesn't concern China, This doesn't concern the WhatsApp

370
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: where Hunter says, I'm sitting here next to my father.

371
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: Pay me the money now, or he will exact retribution

372
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: that is not covered by this indictment. This is entirely

373
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: putting the blame. And you and I have talked about this.

374
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: If they were going to try to cover up for

375
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, this is what they would do. They'd try

376
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: to make Hunter Biden the fall guy. And I got

377
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: to admit, as I look at this indictment, It makes

378
00:20:52,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: me angry because this is designed to be a different

379
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: defense of Joe Biden to insulate him. These offenses, the

380
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: one unifying theme is they're designed to be completely free

381
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: of involvement with Joe Biden, and it ignores the broader

382
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 3: question where did these millions of dollars come from? And

383
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: the answer is Hunter Biden selling favors from Daddy, which

384
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: the Biden Justice Apartment desperately wants nobody to know about.

385
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

386
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian

387
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: conservative wireless provider. And when I say only trust me,

388
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: they're the only one. The team at Patriot Mobiles started

389
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobiles so you didn't have to give your money

390
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: anymore to woke big cell phone companies who were taking

391
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: your dollars after you pay your bill and giving it

392
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: back to liberal causes, including planned parenthood. Now, if you're

393
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: sick and tired of giving your cash to woke individuals,

394
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: if you're sick and tired of giving your money to

395
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: woke candidates and to woke causes, then switch your cell

396
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: phone bill right now. A Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage,

397
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: giving you the ability to access all three major networks,

398
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: which means you get the same coverage that you're accustomed

399
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: to without funding the left. Now, when you pay your

400
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: bill to Patriot Mobile, this is the best part. They

401
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: take a percentage of your bill every month at no

402
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: extra costs to you, and they give it to organizations

403
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: that support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life,

404
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, our military, our veterans, and our first

405
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,360

Speaker 1: free activation and the best deals of the year. One

416
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: other question I want to ask you, Senator about this

417
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: is you know Biden's lawyers have been pretty snarky with Congress.

418
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: They've been saying that they're not going to appear for depositions.

419
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: There is a very good chance that he will not

420
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: show up this next week as he's been told to do.

421
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: They say they only want to do a public hearing,

422
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: which to put it, Let's be clear, Donald Trump's kids

423
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: set for depositions for hours on end in a witch

424
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: hunt investigation. Let's never forget that. We also know that

425
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: Biden lied multiple times about his involvement with his son's

426
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: business dealings, and new emails are proving that over and

427
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: over again yet again. So if he doesn't show up

428
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: and they do hold him in contempt, there's a problem

429
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: because the DOJ, Biden's DOJ, the deep state would be

430
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: the ones that would have to act on that contempt charge.

431
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: And is there any chance And you just talked to

432
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: Director Ray, you've talked to others the DOJ before, and

433
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: the FBI is do you think they would pursue this

434
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: against Hunter Biden, the President's cent or No?

435
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: I don't.

436
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 3: I think the Biden Department of Justice is the most

437
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: political Department of Justice we've ever seen. I think this

438
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: FBI is the most political FBI we've ever seen. I

439
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: think they are covering up for Joe Biden with all

440
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: of their might, and I think they're trying to limit

441
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden's exposure. I think they're willing to throw him

442
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: overboard some but I think they want to limit his

443
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 3: exposure when it comes to the testimony. We don't know

444
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: right now if Hunter Biden's going to show up. You're

445
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: right that Donald Trump's kids showed up for hours and

446
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 3: hours and hours of deposition, so it's not clear why

447
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden should be different. He may try to stiff it.

448
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: If he tries to stiff it, I fully expect the

449
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: House Representatives to hold him in contempt and to vote

450
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: out of contempt citation. But to enforce that that takes

451
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: the Department of Justice. And I have zero confidence, not

452
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: even one percent, zero confidence, this Department of Justice will

453
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: do anything to enforce a contempt citation against Hunter Biden.

454
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: And listen, part of it is their objective is protect

455
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: Joe Biden. It is their overarching it is their obsessive objective.

456
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 3: And so they don't want Hunter Biden testifying. They want

457
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: to delay all of this. Part of the strategy, if

458
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: you're defending someone from corruption, is every minute of delay

459
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: is a good, good minute We're three years into the

460
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: Biden presidency, and the initial lies he told he never

461
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: talked with his son about his overseas business dealings, we

462
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: now know that as a flagrant lie. It is wildly untrue.

463
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: At every stage, everything Joe Biden has said has been

464
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: proven a lie over and over and over again. But

465
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: he's counting on the corrupt corporate media never to let

466
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 3: people know, never to report on it.

467
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: Brings me to also the fireworks that place this week,

468
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: and it was between you and the FBI director. I

469
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 1: want to play a large chunk of this. But before

470
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: I do, set the stage, why was the FBI director

471
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: before your committee in the Senate and what was this

472
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: all about?

473
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: Well, the FBI Director, Chris Ray was testifying before the

474
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 3: Senate Judiciary Committee, and periodically the director of the FBI

475
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: testifies before judiciary, and so I took the opportunity to

476
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: question him. And there are a lot of topics I

477
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: could have questioned him on. I could have questioned him

478
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: for hours on end, but I only had seven minutes,

479
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: and so I chose to use the seven minutes to

480
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 3: focus on the politicization of the FBI and the refusal

481
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: of the FBI to investigate the growing, the becoming overwhelming

482
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: evidence of Joe Biden's corruption, and so that's what I

483
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: asked him about.

484
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: I want to play a chunk of this because it's

485
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: really important, and I hope that every vertical listener will

486
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: make sure that you take this and share this podcast

487
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: so that you can let people know about what these

488
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: questions were, the really important questions. And also I would

489
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: argue the shocking response from the FBI Director Ray, take

490
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: a listen to this.

491
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 4: Thank you, miss Chairman. Director Ray.

492
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 6: Welcome.

493
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 3: As you know, I am deeply concerned about the conduct

494
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: of both the Department of Justice and the FBI, particularly

495
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: in the last three years during the Biden administration. I

496
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: think the Department of Justice has been profoundly politicized under

497
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: Attorney General Merrick Garland, and I think the FBI has

498
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: as well. And unfortunately, I think you've been unwilling to

499
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: stand up to senior career officials and the FBI.

500
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 6: Who's allowed the FBI to be politicized.

501
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: I'll tell you I regularly speak with FBI agents across

502
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 3: the country who are unhappy about the integrity of the

503
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 3: institution being weakened because DOJ is being treated as a

504
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: political weapon.

505
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 4: I want to talk in.

506
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 3: Particular about the investigation into multiple allegations of corruption concerning

507
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, because the Department of Justice has,

508
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: I think from the outset, tried at every step to

509
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: stop investigation into corruption from Joe Biden. As you're aware,

510
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: a WhatsApp text message was sent to Henry Zao, a

511
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: senior Chinese communist, from Hunter Biden that reads as follows,

512
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here with my father and we would like

513
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 3: to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.

514
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: Tell the director that I would like to resolve this

515
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: now before it gets out of hand, and now means

516
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: tonight and Zee. If I get a call or text

517
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: from anyone involved in this other than you, Zanger, the Chairman,

518
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: I will make certain that between the man sitting next

519
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: to me and every person he knows, and my ability

520
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: to hold a grudge, that you will regret not following

521
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call

522
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: with my father now. Democrats and those in the media

523
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,239
Speaker 3: trying to defend the White House repeatedly say there is

524
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: no direct evidence of Joe Biden's involvement in his son's corruption. Well,

525
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: this is a text that is direct evidence that is

526
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: stating that it is his father that is going to retaliate. Now,

527
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: an IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, testified before the House of

528
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: Representatives that the natural step he wanted to follow was

529
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: to determine whether Joe Biden was in fact sitting next

530
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: to his father when this threat was made to extort

531
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: millions of dollars from a Chinese communist. And what the

532
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: IRS whistleblower testified is that when he tried to find

533
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: out whether Joe Biden was sitting next to Hunter, that

534
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: the DOJ blocked getting the GPS data on Joe Biden's phone.

535
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: Did the FBI try to ascertain where Hunter Biden was

536
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: and where Joe Biden was when this text was sent?

537
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: Well, I think the questions you're asking go to the

538
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 5: ongoing investigation being led by a special counsel wise, and

539
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 5: so I'm not going to be able to discuss what

540
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 5: is or is in scope.

541
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: Now.

542
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: Look, there's been testimony under oath from the IRS whistleblower

543
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: that you did not seek the GPS data, And you're right.

544
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: David Weiss. The special prosecutor is in charge.

545
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: Of it, and it is David Weiss and his underlings,

546
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: who the accord of the IRS whistle blowers, have alleged

547
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 3: that they're the ones try to stop the investigation. They

548
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: allow the statute of limitations to run on many of

549
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: the most serious violations. Not only that, IRS whistleblower Shapley

550
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: testified that on September, third Assistant US Attorney Leslie Wolfe

551
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: explicitly told investigators that, despite having probable cause to search, quote,

552
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: there is no way a search warrant would be approved

553
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: when the evidence in question was located inside of Vice

554
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: President Biden's guest house. Wolf stated that quote, the optics

555
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 3: prevented such a search. Is the FBI do they make

556
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: a routine practice of allowing partisan political optics to prevent

557
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 3: investigating serious evidence of corruption.

558
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 5: My instructions to our people on this and on every

559
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: other investigation are that we are to follow the facts

560
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 5: wherever they lead, no matter who likes it, no matter

561
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 5: what political influence.

562
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: And why did maybe GBS state on where Hunter Biden

563
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: and Joe Biden were again center with respect, I can't

564
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 3: this is an ongoing inspection, and Director Ray, you and

565
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: I have gone round around on this because I understand

566
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: anytime you're asked about this, the answer is.

567
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: It's an ongoing investigation.

568
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: Of course, the investigation is an ongoing You're not doing

569
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: the work. You got whistleblowers pointing out that you're not

570
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: doing the work and you are hiding behind the skirts

571
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: of the Attorney general. Look, the whistleblower also testified that

572
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: the Attorney General when he came before Congress. Go to

573
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: the next chart, came before Congress lied under oath to

574
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: this committee.

575
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 4: The Attorney General.

576
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: Testified to this committee in response to my questioning, I

577
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 3: have pledged not to interfere with the Hunter Biden investigation.

578
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 4: I have carried through on that pledge.

579
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: The irs whistleblowers of alleged the Attorney General lied under

580
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: oath a felony. Was the Attorney General telling the truth

581
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 3: when he said this? Was the Attorney General telling the

582
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: truth when he said, I have pledged not to interfere

583
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: with the Hunter Biden investigation, and I have carried through.

584
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 5: In my pledge. Again, I can't speak to the Attorney

585
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 5: General's testimony. I can only tell you what my instructions

586
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 5: have been to our people.

587
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 3: Has there been political interference in the investigation into Hunter

588
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: Biden and Joe Biden, not that I have experienced. Were

589
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: the investigators allowed to investigate whether Joe Biden was complicit

590
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: in the corruption?

591
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 5: Again, there is an ongoing investigator asking you about corruption

592
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 5: from DJ Were.

593
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: They allowed to investigate Joe Biden?

594
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: Or is the whistleblower telling the truth that DOJ said?

595
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's off limits. No questions about the big guy.

596
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 5: And as to what is in scope or not in

597
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 5: scope of the ongoing investigation, I would refer you to

598
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 5: Special Council Wiites.

599
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 6: That is not me hiding behind anything center.

600
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 5: That is a long standing policy that has been in

601
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 5: place direct multiple administrations, a risk going back years, a

602
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: responsibility to the FBI not to allow it to be

603
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: a partisan tool and a partisan weapon.

604
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: The testimony, and by the way, the FBI has done nothing.

605
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 6: And I have not and I will not.

606
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: Have you opened an investigation.

607
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 3: And to whether the Attorney General led under oath to

608
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: Congress and whether the Attorney General instructive.

609
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 6: Justice, I'm not going to go down that road here.

610
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: I know you're not. That's the point.

611
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 3: Nobody thinks you've opened an investigation because you're not willing to.

612
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: And the amazing thing is directory I've known you thirty years.

613
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: You're not a partisan Democrat. You're simply sitting blithely by

614
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 3: while career partisans in your agency allow it to be weaponized.

615
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: And you are damaging the FI and you were damaging

616
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: the Department of Justice. Let me ask you also, the

617
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: whistleblower testified that investigators wanted to execute a search warrant

618
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: on a storage unit used by Hunter Biden, and instead

619
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: they tipped off Hunter Biden's lawyer before the.

620
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 4: Search warrant was carried out.

621
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 3: Is it typical FBI practice to tip off the subject

622
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: of a search warrant before the search warrant so they

623
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 3: can remove any evidence that's incriminating.

624
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 5: What is typical is that when you're dealing with an

625
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 5: individual who has a protective detail, it is typical for

626
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 5: agents to be in contact with.

627
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: Does the protective detent details the protective detail guard the

628
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: storage unit?

629
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: Again, I can't speak to the storage unit specifically. What

630
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 5: I can tell you is.

631
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: They why Why would the FBI tip off the subject

632
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: of a search warrant about the storage unit that was

633
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 3: going to be searched beforehand? Does that not undermine the

634
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: very essence of an investigation that DOJ is purporting.

635
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 5: To undertake again, I'm not going to be able to

636
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 5: got specific investigative sets.

637
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 4: Who will take it?

638
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 6: You're not.

639
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: Nobody answers these questions, and it's why people are furious

640
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: with the cover up, because you don't believe the FBI

641
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 3: is accountable to Congress or to the American people.

642
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 4: Your time is up, Dirktoray has requested a five minute recess.

643
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 6: Five minutes.

644
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 5: I'll just let me just send it if I might

645
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 5: just quickly respond and then respond code to the break,

646
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: thank you.

647
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 6: I understand why this is frustrating. I do.

648
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 5: But it is also the case that these policies that

649
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 5: I am referring to about my inability to discuss ongoing

650
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 5: investigations and certainly internal deliberations related to ongoing investigations are

651
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 5: policies that have not only been in place for many,

652
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 5: many years through multiple administrations of both parties, but but

653
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 5: in fact these were policies that were actually strengthened under

654
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 5: the last administration, and that my predecessor was faulted in

655
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 5: a fairly scathing Inspector General report for not following it.

656
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: Way say that, in my mind, you have an obligation

657
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 4: call it out.

658
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: He's engaged in this job, you have an obligation to

659
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: call out corruption.

660
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: Senator, I understand him saying it's not going investigation, but

661
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: hiding behind that. When you're talking about basic things that

662
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: the FBI didn't do clearly to protect the Biden family.

663
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: He should still be able to answer those questions, shouldn't.

664
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: He He should, and he's stonewalling, and there's an arrogance

665
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 3: of the director of the FBI. Look, as I mentioned

666
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: in my questioning, I've known Chris Ray for thirty years.

667
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: He clerked for the same federal judge I clerked for.

668
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: He's not a liberal Democrat. That's the amazing thing. I

669
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 3: think Chris Ray still believes he's a Republican. I think

670
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: he still believes he's a conservative. He just is unwilling.

671
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: He's a company man. He's unwilling to take on the

672
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 3: career officials at the FBI who are rabid partisans, who

673
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 3: are left wing zelots. And he also he buys into

674
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: the notion that he has no response ability to the

675
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 3: American people, no responsibility to Congress, no responsibility to be

676
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 3: accountable or transparent. So he views his obligation no sorry,

677
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: ongoing investigation piss off jump in a lake. I'm not

678
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 3: going to answer your question. Look, you've got two IRS

679
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: whistleblowers who've come forward and alleged felonies from the Attorney General.

680
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: A director of the FBI has an obligation to answer

681
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 3: questions about that. I asked a very simple question, did

682
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 3: you try to ascertain the GPS data about where Hunter

683
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 3: Biden was and where Joe Biden was when Hunter Biden

684
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 3: sent the email asking for bribes trying to shake down

685
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: the Chinese communists for bribes. The email, on its face

686
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: says he's sitting next to his father, Joe Biden. If

687
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: he's in fact sitting next to his father, it directly

688
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 3: implicates Joe Biden in trying to extort millions of dollars

689
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: from Chinese communists, much of which ultimately went to Joe

690
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: Biden himself. What the RS whistleblower said is they wanted

691
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 3: to get that GPS data that is readily ascertainable, and

692
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: the Biden DOJ blocked it. There is nothing to prevent

693
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: Chris Ray from answering the question did you try to

694
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: seek that GPS data?

695
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 4: Yes or no? Did DOJ blockett? Yes or no?

696
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 3: He refuses to answer, and his shield to everything. He

697
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 3: says it's an ongoing investigation. But as we've discussed, it's

698
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: not ongoing. They are deliberately not investigating Joe Biden. And

699
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 3: so it is a view that there's a hubris. We

700
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: are the FBI. We don't have to answer your questions.

701
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 3: And I got to say it is profoundly harmful to

702
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: the rule of law and the integrity of the FBI

703
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 3: to have the leadership of the FBI refuse to provide

704
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: even the barest minimum of transparency or accountability.

705
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,640

Speaker 1: Choq dot com promo code Ben for thirty five percent off,

726
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: sen Oor. Last question for you, and I want to

727
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: go back to the FBI director and really the advantage

728
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: that the Biden family has, which it seems that everybody

729
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: is covering for them. The House Oversight Committee put out

730
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: this tweet saying Hunter Biden must appear for his deposition

731
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: on December the thirteenth. Chairman Comer and Jim Jordan will

732
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 1: initiate contempt of Congress proceedings if Hunter does not appear.

733
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: He has obviously said I will only appear before a

734
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: public hearing. That's not what they're subpoenating for. In your gut,

735
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: will Hunter Biden appear or will he be a no show?

736
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 4: Look?

737
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: I put the odds at about fifty to fifty on that.

738
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: I think it could go either way. I think there's

739
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: a chance Hunter appears, and I think he could be defiant.

740
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 3: He could be he could be hiding behind his lawyers.

741
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: I also think there's a very real chance he just

742
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: doesn't show up. He just says, go pound Sand if

743
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: he does. If he refuses to show up, the House

744
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 3: will vote in CONTENTMP. But once the House votes him

745
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 3: in contempt, nothing will happen because the Biden DOJ will

746
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: not do anything to enforce the contempt sanctioned. Remember the

747
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 3: House Representatives held Eric Holder in contempt when he was

748
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 3: Attorney General under Barack Obama and nothing happened. Now why

749
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 3: did nothing happen Because to enforce the contempt finding, DOJ

750
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: has to bring it. And you know what, Eric Holder

751
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: was in charge of DJ, and so magically Eric Holder said,

752
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: you know, when I think of things that I want

753
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: to prosecute, the contempt finding against me is not one

754
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: of them. I think the chances of Merrick Garland doing

755
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 3: anything to enforce a contempt finding against Hunter Biden are

756
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 3: very close to zero. And so look, there's a chance

757
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 3: Hunter shows up. He did publicly say he was willing

758
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 3: to show up it was in public, but either way,

759
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: I do not expect him to be forthcoming. Whether if

760
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: he shows up, he's not going to say much of substance,

761
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 3: and if he doesn't show up he feels he can

762
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: defy the subpoena without meaningful consequence.

763
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,479
Speaker 2: It's going to be a very very very interesting week.

764
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,319
