1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:01,520 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator, 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 2: We've got a lot to chat about tonight, and including 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: this bill and funding over the Ukraine War. I want 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: you to walk us through what happened. But before we 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: get to that, there is some news that deals with 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 2: the impeachment inquiry into the President United States of America, 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, and there are people that are giving testimony 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: now in a shocking opening statement from Tony Bobolinski. Tony 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 2: Bobolinski is someone that knows the Biden crime family. He's 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: an individual that was a whistleblower before election day to 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: remind people of that, and then he went and sat 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: down with the FBI for several hours. He had multiple 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: electronic communication devices, cell phones, he had documents, he had 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 2: everything about the Biden crime family, and not a single 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: person ever followed up with him. Not only that, no 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: one at the DOJ, none of the special prosecutors, none 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: of those that were investigating at the IRS ever contacted 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: him for anything that he had about the Biden crime family, 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: a family that he worked with extensively. He also confirmed 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: he had meetings with Joe Biden and then he had 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: an opening statement today that was remarkable. Tell everybody about 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: what all he said. 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: Well, in his opening statement, here's what Tony Bobolinski said. 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: And I want you to focus, in particular on how 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: much he is talking about Joe Biden, not Hunter. The media, 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 3: the Democrats want to make it all about Hunter, but 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: I want you to focus on how much this is 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: about Joe Biden's personal corruption. 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. Quote. 31 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: I want to be crystal clear. From my direct personal 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: is clear to me that Joe Biden was quote the 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: brand being sold by the Biden family, His family's foreign 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere, sold 36 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: out to foreign actors who were making to gain influence 37 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 3: and access to Joe Biden and the United States government. 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 3: He was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: scheme to maintain plausible deniability. The only reason any of 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: these international business transactions took place, with tens of millions 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family was because 42 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: Joe Biden was in high office. The Biden family business 43 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: was Joe Biden period. Other key players have made this 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 3: point clear as well. Hunter Biden himself has adamantly stated 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: in a variety of communications, as did another Biden family 46 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 3: business associate, Devon Archer, in his testimony last year. Foreign 47 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: nationals on the other side of these transactions, including from China, Ukraine, 48 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: and Romania, have also explained how and why these transactions 49 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: took place. Once again, I would call that evidence extensive. 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 3: And then Babbelinski gets into some details focusing on China. Quote, 51 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party, through its surrogate, China Energy Company 52 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: Limited or CEFC, a CCP linked Chinese energy conglomerate, successfully 53 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama 54 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: Biden Whitehouse. The process started in the fourth quarter of 55 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen and continued through when Joe Biden left office 56 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: in January twenty seventeen to March of twenty eighteen, when 57 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: CEFC chairman Ye was detained for corruption in China, never 58 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: to be seen again. Note that on October twenty first, 59 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, Joe Biden announced that he would not seek 60 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: the presidency in twenty sixteen. It is not a coincidence 61 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: that CEFC's aggressive approach to the Biden family happened around 62 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 3: that time. It is also not a coincidence that CFC 63 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: used the Biden family's weakest link, Hunter Biden, and the 64 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: promise of large sums of money to the tune of 65 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 3: tens of millions of dollars initially and eventually the profits 66 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 3: from investing billions of dollars in the United States and 67 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: around the world. 68 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: You hear that. 69 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: And this opening statement is one that shocked me because 70 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: it's clear that Tony Bobolinski is saying I need everyone 71 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: to know this. I witnessed it, I saw it, I 72 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: was therefore it and no, no one is listening to 73 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: what happened here in our government, no one sitting down 74 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: and asking any of these questions. Thank you for having 75 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: me to basically Congress to tell you what I've been 76 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: trying to tell the American people and the authorities. And 77 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: that is the most shocking part of all. 78 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's exactly right. The six o'clock News doesn't 79 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: cover this, The Washington Post doesn't cover this, The New 80 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: York Times doesn't cover this. Let me reach you some 81 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: more from this opening statement, because every paragraph is a 82 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 3: bombshell it continues quote Joe Biden was aware of the 83 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: CEFC transaction, he enabled it, and had a constitutional responsibility 84 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 3: and obligation to the American people to shut it down 85 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 3: before it began. This is because CEFC had been identified 86 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: as a known surrogate of the Chinese Communist Party by 87 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: the US government and prosecutors in the Southern District of 88 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: New York as far back as twenty sixteen, possibly earlier. 89 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: I would encourage Congress to gather all of the exact 90 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 3: facts and date. It is clear to me that alarm 91 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 3: bell should have been going off of theden the Obama 92 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: Biden White House, and that Joe Biden should have been 93 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: aware that his own administration had red flag CEFC as 94 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 3: a tool of the Chinese Communist Party. That should have 95 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: made any business transaction with CEFC a non starter. And 96 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: let me just stop and say, holy crap. Yes, like like, 97 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 3: I've been in the Senate twelve years, I don't know 98 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 3: a senator, all right. I was about to say, I 99 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: don't know a senator who would do that, and then 100 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: I thought about Bob Menendez. Yes, I do know a 101 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: senator who's currently under indictment for corruption by being approached 102 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 3: by Egypt. Now Egypt happens to be an ally of ours. 103 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 3: It's not even the Chinese Communist Party. But how the 104 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: hell does any sane elected official not just walk away 105 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: but turn and run. 106 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and not just run, but even think want to 107 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: report it just to be on the record of like, Hey, 108 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: I was approached for this, and I want to make 109 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: sure everybody knows that I knew that this was bad 110 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 2: and I didn't want to be. 111 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: Involved in it. 112 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: And yet this is what the Biden family seemed to 113 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: be seeking out, which is what Bob Olenski is saying here. 114 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: It also goes to another point of reporting before you 115 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: read a couple more points in there that he said 116 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: in his opening statement. Catherine Heritage, who actually was laid 117 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: off within hours of her reporting on how Biden may 118 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: have quote retained sensitive documents related to specific countries involving 119 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: his family's foreign business dealings. This coming from the committees. 120 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: We've talked with, James Comer, We've talked to Jim Jordan said, 121 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: quote the committees require this Biden slash her interview transcript. 122 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: There is concern that President Biden may have retained sensitive 123 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: documents related to specific countries involving his famili's foreign business dealings. 124 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: That is what she posted on Twitter from these documents 125 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: that she got from the committees. And this was a 126 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: letter that went to the Honorable Garland from these committees, 127 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: and it was simply saying, we believe, from what we've 128 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: been told, the President Biden may have retained these documents 129 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: related to these countries involving his family and families foreign 130 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: business dealings. And further, the committee says, we seek to 131 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: understand whether the White House or President Biden's personal attorneys 132 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: placed any limitations or scoping restrictions during the interview that 133 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: would have precluded a line of inquiry regarding evidence emails, 134 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 2: text messages, or witness statements directly linking the president to 135 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: troublesome foreign payments. You combine that with what Bob Olenski's saying, 136 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: and they line up about one hundred percent. 137 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. And recall that when Robert Hurr 138 00:08:54,559 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 3: was appointed, we said on this podcast, the tell of 139 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 3: whether DOJ wants to cover up malfeasance by the White 140 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: House is whether there's an investigation into the nexus between 141 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: the documents, the classified documents that Joe Biden had illegally 142 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 3: and the foreign entities paying the Biden family tens of 143 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: millions of dollars, and as best we can tell, that 144 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: was not investigated by DOJ. Now, this is what James 145 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 3: Comer and Jim Jordan are trying to get to the 146 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: bottom of to find out what is the connection. And 147 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: you know, look, I got to stop and say, Catherine 148 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: Herriage has been really a unicorn. She has been a 149 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: reporter for the corporate media for CBS, and she's been 150 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: willing to actually report on the Biden corruption. So what 151 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: did CBS do today? They laid her off. They fired her. 152 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 3: They said, you know what, we had one person in 153 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: our entire staff doing journalism. We've decided we don't need 154 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: any journalism at this outlet. You're out of a job. 155 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: And by the way, not just amazing journalism, journalism that 156 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: was above reproach and a history of it. 157 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: And you notice, yes, I understand that layoffs happen. 158 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: I get that at CBS, but she was someone that 159 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: was doing unbelievable reporting at the highest level in Washingt 160 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: d C. On the biggest news stories that involve our government. 161 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: And just hours after she puts this out there, like yeah, 162 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: we're gonna get rid of you too. 163 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it was three percent of the workforce. 164 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: You're telling me you couldn't have kept her in this 165 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: very important reporting position. 166 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: Give me a break. 167 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: Well, CBS is corrupt. Unfortunately, so is ABC, so is NBC, 168 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 3: so is CNN, so ISMSNBC. They have all abandoned any 169 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 3: pretense of journalism, and they are advocates, and so somehow 170 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 3: Catherine Herridge slipped through the crut cracks and CBS it 171 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: is not accidental that when they're doing layoffs they decide, nope, 172 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: we can have noiceent from the orthodoxy.

It's 214 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: also not being covered by the media, and that is 215 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: the House Oversight Judiciary committees have released Rob Walker's transcript 216 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: as well as their finding that deal a lot more 217 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: with the Chinese Communist parties connection to this Chinese energy 218 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: company CEFC and chairman Ye as well as others that 219 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: were in attendance with meetings that dealt directly with Joe Biden. 220 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 3: Well, that's right, and when you combine the two, when 221 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 3: you look at Bobolinsky's opening statement and then you look 222 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: at the testimony from Rob Walker, it paints an incredibly 223 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 3: damning picture of Joe Biden's personal complicity. So James Comber 224 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: tweeted out a series of tweets specifying exactly what it is, 225 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: Rob Walker said. And here's what Comber tweeted out about 226 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 3: the Bob Walker testimony. Around the time Hunter Biden and 227 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: his associates received a three million dollar payment from a 228 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: CEFC entity, Joe Biden attended a CEFC meeting at the 229 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: Four Seasons in Washington. 230 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 2: D C. 231 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: CFC chairman Yi Jingmang and other CEFC officials were in attendance. 232 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: In other words, let's just take that first tweet, Hunter 233 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: Biden's associates get three million dollars at the same time 234 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: Joe Biden is personally meeting with the chairman of CEFC, 235 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: the Communist Party energy company. Now let's go back to 236 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: what Comer put out. Hunter Biden's associates work with CFC, 237 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: a Chinese government linked energy company, began in February twenty sixteen, 238 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: when Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States. However, 239 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden and his associates were not paid until after 240 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: Joe Biden left office. Rob Walker admitted Hunter Biden's last 241 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: name would quote probably get people in the door, and 242 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 3: he had a letter he drafted to CEFC director Zang 243 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: placed on Hunter Biden's letterhead because he was the son 244 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 3: of the vice president at the time, Rob Walker's account, 245 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 3: Robinson Walker LLC, received the three million dollar payment from 246 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: the CFC entity on March first, twenty seventeen. The next day, 247 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: he wired one million and sixty five thousand dollars to 248 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: James Gilliar, a Biden family associate, and then over the 249 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: course of several months, wired incremental payments to the bidens, 250 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: totaling around one million, sixty five thousand dollars. Rob Walker 251 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 3: told investigators Hunter asked him to send incremental payments to 252 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: various Biden accounts, including Halle Biden and James Biden, who 253 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: were not affiliated with the CEFC deal. 254 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: Now, to be clear, this goes back to exactly what 255 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: James Comer said to us the last time we sat 256 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: down with him, which was this is money laundering. This is, yes, 257 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: moving money from accounts to. 258 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: Accounts, breaking it up in pieces, sending it all over 259 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: the place, hiding where it's coming from. That's called money laundering. 260 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there is no service that's being rendered by 261 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 2: any of the bidens that are being paid. They're not 262 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: selling anything. There's no actual business activities within these accounts. 263 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: It's just cleaning the money laundering the money and giving 264 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: it to this person and that person with the Biden 265 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: last name, funneling all into the Biden crime family. And 266 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: this now back set up without a shadow of a 267 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: doubt that this was how they've been running business, not 268 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: just for a year or two, this is apparently how 269 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: they've been doing business the entire time. 270 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, look at another thing in the Rob Lawucker transcript. 271 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: It's not just China, it's Ukraine, it's Russia, it's Romania. 272 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: Here here's another portion. During the Obama Biden administration, Hunter Biden, 273 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 3: Rob Walker and James Gillier had a lucrative contract with 274 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 3: Romanian businessmen Gabriel Papa Visiou, who was under investigation. Walker 275 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 3: was unable to articulate what services the partners provided for. 276 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you think would be a 277 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 3: good amount for some Romanian businessman to hire the son 278 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: of the Vice president. 279 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm assuming you know they like to deal 280 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: with millions, right, So let's stick with that. 281 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 3: How about this one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a month. 282 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how you get to millions real fast. 283 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty thousand monthly from Papa issue. The 284 00:17:53,680 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 3: payments ended abruptly shortly after Joe Biden left the vice presidency. 285 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 3: It ain't subtle, no, not at all. What services did 286 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 3: Hunter provide? Well, those services ended as long as Daddy 287 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 3: was no longer Vice president. 288 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: By the way, if you just want to do simple 289 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: math to put this in perspective of hard working Americans, 290 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: they this romanian was paying the Biden family six grand 291 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 2: basically every day. 292 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: And you know what, in my experience, people don't give 293 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 3: away money for nothing. They were getting something and it 294 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 3: was not complex legal advice from Hunter Biden. 295 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: Let's also dive in just for a second, and I 296 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 2: want your opinion Joe Biden over and over again. And 297 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: we played the montage in the show before of him 298 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: saying I never had anything to do with my son's 299 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: business dealings. I never talked business with them. We have 300 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: these firewalls between him and me. He also then when 301 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: it came to the issues of China, said I never 302 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: made it. My family's never made a dime from China. 303 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: We've never done a business with China. I've never made 304 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: any money from China. How dare you say that? And 305 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 2: then said you should be looking at Donald Trump and 306 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: investigating him, right, that's the line. Not only was he 307 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: lying on both of those accounts, he also then had 308 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: this lie, which was he never talked business with him, 309 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: He never met with any of his been associates. This 310 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: is a new dinner we didn't know about. This is 311 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: outside the Cafe Milano dinners that he had with other 312 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: people from China as well as from Russia and Romania. 313 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 2: So it looks like the product, which was Joe Biden 314 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: and this all deals with his impeachment inquiry, was a 315 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: product that had to go to dinner with some of 316 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: the shadiest figures in the world to get the money flowing. 317 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: Well, listen, that's exactly right. What was being sold here, 318 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 3: I believe was not just access, It was favors from 319 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. And what is so striking about the testimony, 320 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 3: about the transcript that was released is how much of 321 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 3: this connects directly to Joe. The corporate media doesn't want 322 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 3: to focus on it, but that of course is exactly 323 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: why the House is open an impeachment inquiry. 324 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be important to see exactly what 325 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: happens with this moving forward. 326 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: We're going to keep you updated on it. 327 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 2: I also want to get to this really important vote 328 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 2: that took place in the Senate and for you to 329 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: break it down. But first let me tell you about 330 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: our friends over at Freedom Gold.

And that is exactly why many people 335 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: are looking to gold right now around the world to 336 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: protect their hard earned assets. Inflation is heavily eroding your 337 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: purchasing power. It's putting your savings, your retirement accounts, and 338 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: the future your future legacy at risk.

There 358 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: are a lot of Americans that are very angry that 359 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: so many republic Wilans defected and did this deal with 360 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: Democrats to send more funding to Ukraine than we'll be 361 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: spent to secure our southern border, putting Americans last and 362 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: putting others first around the world. And this money we 363 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: don't have, We're gonna have to borrow this money. We're 364 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: gonna have to pay interest on this money. And it 365 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 2: seems like there's no in insight for the obsession with 366 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: sending money to Ukraine. We're sending more money to them 367 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: than to Israel as well. Why did so many Democrats 368 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: get along so well with so many Republicans on this one? 369 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: How is it that so many Republicans can't just stand 370 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: their ground. 371 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: Well, it's incredibly frustrating. Look, you and I are recording this. 372 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 3: It is ten oh seven pm Texas time on Tuesday night. 373 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 3: I started this day this morning at a little after 374 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 3: five am, voting on the Senate floor. And the reason 375 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 3: we were voting at five am is because Chuck Schumer 376 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 3: had kept the Senate in all night in order to 377 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 3: try to force this vote through, and he succeeded. The 378 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 3: vote was seventy to twenty nine. In other words, seventy 379 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: senators voted yes, twenty nine voted no. All the Democrats 380 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: except three voted for the funding bill, and yet there 381 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: were just twenty nine of us. I was a no. 382 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 3: There were twenty nine of US, and that was twenty 383 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 3: six Republicans and three Democrats who voted no. And listen, 384 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 3: my reasons for voting no. We've talked about at length, 385 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 3: but it's worth revisiting. There are elements of this bill 386 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 3: that I support. There are even elements of this bill 387 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: that I strongly support. So for example, this bill includes 388 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: emergency military funding for Israel. I think that is incredibly important. 389 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 3: I think we should have passed that months ago. This 390 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: bill includes funding to help Taiwan defend itself against communist China. 391 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: I think that is very important for US national security. 392 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 3: Most notably, this bill contains tens of billions of dollars 393 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 3: of funding for Ukraine. Now, my views on that are mixed. 394 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 3: I think it is very important that Russia lose and 395 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: Putin loses, and there are certainly circumstances in which I 396 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: would be willing to support military funding for Ukraine to 397 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: stop Russia because I think that's in the United States's interest. However, 398 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 3: just a couple of months ago, every single Republican in 399 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: the Senate we stood united, and we made a united stand. 400 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: We said, we will not fund additional money for Ukraine 401 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 3: unlessen until we secure our own border. That we're not 402 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 3: going to spend billions to secure the border of another 403 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 3: nation until America secures our border. And we're not going 404 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 3: to spend billions to stop the invasion of another country 405 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 3: until we stop the invasion of our own country. Now, 406 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 3: when I said that, I meant it. Unfortunately, I think 407 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: for a lot of my colleagues they did not, because, 408 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 3: as you know, what happened was Chuck Schumer and the 409 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: Democrats refused to negotiate and agree to meaningful border security. Instead, 410 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 3: they demanded a bill that in many ways would have 411 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: made the border crisis worse, would have codified Joe Biden's 412 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: open borders, and when as soon as the bill TECHS 413 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: was released, they negotiated in secret. Within twenty four hours, 414 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: the bill had collapse because everyone reading it realized it 415 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 3: was a terrible bill. What Republican leadership did next, I 416 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 3: think was indefensible. They said, Okay, well, a few people 417 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 3: don't like Chuck Chuck Schumer's open border proposal, then never mind, 418 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: we'll just pass all the funding with nothing on. 419 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: The border at all. 420 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 3: I think that is an absurd position, But unfortunately seventy 421 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 3: senators just cast a vote that way. 422 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 2: So what happens now, because what we're hearing is that 423 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: this could move the House side Speaker Johnson has indicated. 424 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: No or probably not, This isn't going to happen. 425 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 2: And then now Democrats, apparently Kim Jeffreys is saying, all right, well, 426 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 2: they're going to get together and they're going to get 427 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: a game planned or basically ram this down everyone's throat. 428 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 2: What would that look like and what does that mean 429 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: moving forward? On top of the fact that the House 430 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: majority for Republicans just got slimmer as well tonight because 431 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 2: we've lost a special election. 432 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: Well that's exactly right. Look, if it is up to 433 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 3: House leadership, if it's up to the Speaker of the House, 434 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: this bill will not pass. The Speaker has said so 435 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: unequivocally that the House is not going to take up 436 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 3: and pass any military funding for Ukraine unlessen until it 437 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 3: contained serious and meaningful border security. And by the way, 438 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: the House has already passed strong border security legislation, that 439 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 3: is HR two. The House passed that months ago. Chuck 440 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 3: Schumer refused to take it up. I entered STATEHR two 441 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: in the Senate. I'm the author of HR two in 442 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 3: the United States Senate. I had it as an amendment 443 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: to this bill. And by the way, I was clear. 444 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: I said, you know what, if we pass HR two, 445 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: I'll vote for this bill. If we pass strong legislation 446 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 3: that forces Joe Biden to secure the border, I'm on board. 447 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: And Schumer said, not just no, but hell no. Refused 448 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 3: to allow a vote on HR two. When we were 449 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 3: voting this morning, I was trying very hard to get 450 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 3: a vote. Schumer locked down and blocked every single amendment vote. 451 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 3: What I expect Republican leadership in the House to do 452 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: is to take up this bill and to attach strong 453 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: border security to it and then send it back to 454 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 3: the Senate. That's what I think is likely to happen. 455 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 3: There is a chance, and you referenced it. There's some 456 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: Democrats talking about trying to do what's called a discharge petition, 457 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 3: which is all the House Democrats teaming up with a 458 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 3: handful of haw GISs Republicans to basically overrule the Speaker 459 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 3: of the House and force the bill onto the floor. 460 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: I don't think that will happen, and it is the 461 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 3: sort of move that would be just absolute rebellion by 462 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: the rank and file Republican members. And but that is 463 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 3: really what Mitch mcconnlin Chuck Schumer's plan is, is to 464 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 3: try to use this bill to directly attack the Republican 465 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 3: speaker of the House. And I got to say, Ben, 466 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 3: I don't understand why Senate Republican leadership is trying to 467 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 3: lead the attack on House Republican leadership. 468 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: Well, one final question this what was in it for 469 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: Republicans that just caved on this. I mean, I know, 470 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 2: and I'm cynical because I've been around it probably too long, 471 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: and you're probably you see it every day, so you're 472 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: cynical too. I'm like, all right, so what did you 473 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: get like to make you not listen to the American 474 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 2: people and just go along with this? What was the 475 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: incentive of there to side with the Democrats? 476 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: So so let me be a little more forgiving in 477 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: this sense. You know, there are folks that said, what 478 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: did they get? They're compromised. Look, in my experience, that's 479 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: not how Washington works. I don't think there's anybody with 480 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: a folder of people having, you know, sexual relations with 481 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 3: barnyard animals. And I don't think this is compromant. I 482 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 3: don't think it's And I also don't think for the 483 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 3: people who voted for this that what did they get? 484 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: I don't think that they're like the Biden family in 485 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 3: terms of making millions of dollars off of this. I 486 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: don't think that's why it happened, At least among the Republicans. 487 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: I think a great many of them passionately believe that 488 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: it is in America's interest for Ukraine to beat Russia. 489 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 3: And I understand that sentiment. I think Russia's winning this 490 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 3: war would be very, very bad for America and over 491 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 3: the long term would be much more expensive for American 492 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 3: te payers than it would be to defeat Russia and Ukraine. 493 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: So want I want Russia to lose. And I think 494 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: it's combined with there are a lot of Republican senators 495 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: that basically they don't like a fight, and in any 496 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 3: given fight, when you ask them, all right, let's hold 497 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: the line and say we won't do this unless we 498 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 3: get real border security, they look at you and say, well, 499 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer would never do that. And I don't understand 500 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 3: why they expect Chuck Schumer to stand strong and never blink, 501 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 3: and yet their solution is always, well, therefore, we got 502 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 3: to give Schumer what he wants. But that's temperamentally the 503 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 3: view of far too many Republicans in Congress. 504 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a tough year for the Republicans, 505 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: especially on the House side, as their majority has gotten 506 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 2: even slimmer after we have lost a special election in 507 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: New York today as well.
