1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Welcome it as verdicts with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: with you, a massive news day with impeachment and Kevin 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: McCarthy announcing that the Republicans in the House are going 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: to move forward. We're going to do a very deep 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: dive into that explain everything that's happening and what's going 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: to happen in the days and weeks and months ahead. 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: But before we get to that center, there was also 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: some other shocking news, and that is at the House 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: was informed. Congress was informed on the anniversary of nine 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: to eleven that there was going to be a prisoner 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: swap with a RAN and oh, by the way, we're 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: going to send them basically allow them to get their 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: hands on six billion dollars that they had in assets. 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: This is a terrible move in my opinion. I want 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: to get your take on this. It's shocking that's happened, 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: especially notifying Congress on the anniversary nine to eleven. 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: Well, it's outrageous and it's dangerous. On September eleventh, I 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: was in New York City. I was at the fire 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: station that lost the most post firefighters at Ground zero, 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: fifteen firefighters from the station. I was at never returned, 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: and I had the opportunity to speak at a memorial 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: and to thank the families that were grieving those heroes, 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: and I pointed out, you know, the word hero is 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: used cheaply a lot of times to refer to athletes, 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: to refer to musicians' hero doesn't apply to any of them. 26 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: The men who charged into burning buildings knowing they were 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: headed to certain death, they are heroes. And it was 28 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: really an extraordinary honor to give tribute to them and 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: to try to try to tell the story for young 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: people of what happened on September eleventh. While we're there, remembering, 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: Joe Biden couldn't bother to show up. But to add 32 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: insult to injury, Joe Biden announces that he's given six 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: billion dollars to the Ayatola, a radical Islamic theocratic who 34 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: regularly chance death to America and death to Israel. The 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: six billion dollars is in exchange for five Americans. On 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: top of that, there are another five Iranians that are 37 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: being released. At this point, they have not publicly said 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: who they are of what they've done. I'm sure it's bad, 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: because if it weren't bad, they would, they would have 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: told us already. There are lots of reasons why this 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: is wrong, one of which is this money, the six 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: billion dollars will go directly to fund terrorism. 43 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: This money, Oh no, no, the Biden administration promised us 44 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: their words, this will only go for humanitarian issues. They 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: were saying that six billion dollars will never be used 46 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: for anything bad at all. What's even worse than that 47 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: is the lie is the Iranian president came out and 48 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: said that we will spend the money from the prisoner 49 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: swap how we want. In other words, screw you, Biden. 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: You're lying to the American people about it, and we'll 51 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: do whatever the hell we want with the money. 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: The exact quote from the Iran's president was that the 53 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: funds will be used quote wherever we need it, and 54 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: it is a metaphysical certainty this money will be used 55 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: to fund terrorism. Why because Iran is the leading state 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: sponsor of terrorism in the world. That Americans will be murdered, 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: is Raelis will be murdered, and it's not just six 58 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: billion dollars, because they're also refusing to enforce sanctions, which 59 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: collectively is tens of billions or even hundreds of billions 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: of dollars to fund terrorism. This is part of a 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: secret nuclear deal. The Biden administration doesn't want to take 62 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: a nuclear deal to Congress because they know they can't 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: get it through Congress, so as they're doing it in secret. 64 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: And on top of that, this creates an incentive for 65 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: every tin pot dictator in the world to seize more Americans. 66 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: They're setting the going rate at one point two billion 67 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: per American hostage. More Americans will be taken hostage because 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: of this, and to do it on the anniversary of 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: nine to eleven is disgusting and it's dangerous. 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: There was something else in here center that really shocked me. 71 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: In all of the most recent prisoner swaps that we've had, 72 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: we knew who we were trading and who they were 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: and what they had done, whether it was Britney Grinder 74 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: and Russia. We knew that we were trading the merchant 75 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: of death, whether when it was bo Bergdal, We knew 76 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the people that we were trading, for example, in Afghanistan, 77 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: and we knew their resume of terror, what they'd done. 78 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: I can't find anywhere, and I want to know, as 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: a member of Congress, have you been briefed on who 80 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: the five Iranians are that they're getting back, and what 81 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: the hell have they done? 82 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: So I have not. 83 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: I assumed that at some point we will be and 84 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: I also assume at some point the names and what 85 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 2: they did will be made public. I very much hope so. 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: But this is profoundly dangerous. When you funnel billions of 87 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: dollars to theocratic, homicidal maniacs, you endanger lives. And it 88 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: is tragically a certainty that Americans will die because of 89 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: this decision from the Biden administration, and to do it 90 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: on the anniversary of nine to eleven shows really a 91 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: complete lack of awareness of the magnitude of the threat. 92 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: To be clear, and I think this goes back to 93 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Iran killed more or help kill more 94 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: and dismember more Americans with roadside bombs and giving safe 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: haymn to terras after we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan than 96 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: any other country in the Middle. 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 3: East by far, not even close, and. 98 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: We just gave them money that they can do, in 99 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: their words, whatever they. 100 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: Want to do with it, six billion dollars. 101 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Is there any way that Congress can stop this or 102 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: is this a straight up executive decision and that's it. 103 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to fight for Congress to stop it. 104 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: But let's be clear, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats will 105 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: stand with Biden and stand with Iran against America and 106 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: against our Israeli allies. 107 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: We're going to keep trying to get answers to these questions, obviously, 108 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: and we'll keep you updated on. I do want to 109 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: deal with, obviously, the massive story of the day that 110 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: is taking the headlines, and that's exactly when we wanted 111 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: to make sure you knew what was going on with 112 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: the RAN, and that is with impeachment. We are moving 113 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: forward with impeachment. The House side, Ken McCarthy has come 114 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: out announcing that this podcast started with the first impeachment. 115 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: Did you ever imagine Center that we would be sitting 116 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 1: here on this podcast now looking like we're going into 117 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: a third impeachment when you started this show originally. 118 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 2: It really is hard to believe. It's not impeachment number one, 119 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: it's not impeachment number two. It's impeachment number three of 120 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: the president, mind you, not not even impeachment of Aljidro 121 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: majorcas non impeachment of Merrick Garland. It is the House 122 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: has formally opened its impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, and 123 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: what I want to do in this podcast is really 124 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: do a deep dive into what that means and where 125 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: things stand, because it's a big deal. This announcement is 126 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: a big, big deal. It is consequential, and it's important 127 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: listeners to verdict. You know already the details of what's happening, 128 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: but it's worth breaking down the arguments so that you 129 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: understand it because I guarantee you tomorrow at work, tomorrow 130 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: at school, people are going to be asking about it. 131 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: Family members are going to be asking about it, and 132 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: you're going to want to know. 133 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: Now. 134 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: One of the best ways to assess just the magnitude 135 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: the mountain of evidence that has come out and listen, 136 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: I've been calling for the House to open impeachment inquiries 137 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: for months. 138 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: I think the. 139 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: Evidence long ago cleared that threshold. But they've finally done it. 140 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: It's worth reviewing the bidding. In terms of Joe Biden's explanations, 141 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: Explanation number one that he made on the campaign trail 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: repeatedly that he made his president repeatedly is he said 143 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: he had never discussed, not even once discussed with unter 144 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: Biden's overseas business dealings. That was explanation number one. There 145 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: was a minor problem. It was a flat out, bald 146 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: face lie, and it was demonstrably disproven, including by Devin 147 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: Archer saying some twenty times Joe would call in to 148 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: talk to Hunter's overseas business partners. So then explanation number 149 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: two was Joe Biden was not in business with his 150 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: son Hunter in his corrupt overseas deals. Now that's very 151 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: different from I never discussed it, but they realized they 152 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: couldn't defend that, so it wasn't in business. So they've 153 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: run away from not in business anymore. That's no longer 154 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: defensible because it's clear the entire business was selling favors 155 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: from Daddy. So talking point number three, which you're seeing 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 2: multiple Democrats use word for word you're seeing the media 157 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: use word for word, is there is no direct evidence 158 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's involvement of Joe Biden's corruption. Now at 159 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: the outset, that throws Hunter overboard. I think the Democrats 160 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: have realized, all right, Hunter as crooked as the day 161 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: as long, we can't defend this guy, so Hunter to 162 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: heck with him. But there's no direct evidence of Joe. 163 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: I want to break that down because that is false 164 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 2: and it's a lie, and it's every bit as false 165 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: as Biden never discussed it or wasn't in business with it. 166 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: But let's take the no direct evidence and explain why 167 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: it's wrong. Let me start by explaining what direct evidence is. 168 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: So that's the kind of lawyer word that you see 169 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 2: people use that. 170 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: If you're not a lawyer, you're like, well, what does 171 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: that even mean? 172 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: Right, So, in a court. 173 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: Of law, there are two types of evidence that are 174 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: typically relied on to prove a factual matter. Number one 175 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 2: is direct evidence. Number two is circumstantial evidence. Direct evidence 176 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,119 Speaker 2: is evidence that goes directly to a factual matter in dispute. 177 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: Circumstantial evidence is based on the circumstances you can draw 178 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: inference that leads to the factual matter in dispute. 179 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: All right, what does that mean? 180 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: Let me give an ext If you go to bed 181 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,119 Speaker 2: tonight and you look out the window and the street 182 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: is dry and clean, and you wake up in the 183 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: morning and you look out the window and the street 184 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: is covered in snow, that is circumstantial evidence that it 185 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: snowed last night. It's pretty damn good circumstantial evidence. Yeah, 186 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 2: there's snow, but you were drawing the inference from seeing 187 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: the snow on the ground that it snowed last night. Now, 188 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: if you bring in a witness who stayed up all night, 189 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: who said, ben, I saw it snow last night, that 190 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: would be direct evidence. The most common type of direct 191 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: evidence is eyewitness testimony saying I saw this happen. Now, 192 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: one of the lies right at the heart of the 193 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 2: no direct evidence is so what, it's not true. But 194 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: before I get to not true, so what? People are 195 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: literally convicted of crimes every day based on circumstantial evidence. 196 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: They are sentenced to jail every day based on circumstantial evidence. 197 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: So the modifier direct is how they're getting around the 198 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: mountain of evidence we've got. But I want to tell 199 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: you how the statement there is no direct evidence is 200 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: a lie. And anytime a Democrat says, at any time 201 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 2: the media says that, you know they're lying. 202 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: But first let me tell you about our friends over 203 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile.

Piece 230 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: number one, the heart of the allegations, again Joe Biden, 231 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: is bribery that he solicited and received bribes from foreign oligarchs. 232 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: You'll recall, and we've talked about this before on verdict 233 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: that the essence of bribery is quid pro quo Latin 234 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: for this, for that, and for bribery, you need to 235 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: show the official action that was taken. 236 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,239 Speaker 3: That's the quote, the. 237 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 2: Money or thing of value that was given, that's the quid, 238 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: and that the two were connected, that's the pro Well. 239 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: One of those elements, the official action, is conclusively proven 240 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: by Joe Biden in his on camera admission to the 241 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: Council of Foreign Relations, where he described how he flew 242 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 2: to Ukraine, he held a billion dollars of federal tax, 243 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 2: federal loan guarantees hostage and demanded that the Ukrainian government 244 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: fire Victor Schoken, who was the prosecutor who was prosecuting 245 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: the Ukrainian oligarch and Joe Biden. As we all know, 246 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: as we played on this show many times, says son 247 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: of a bitch. They fired it, and. 248 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: He was critic by the way because he was like 249 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: he was so prideful, and it was the arrogance of 250 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: that moment. It was like, couldn't help himself. It was like, 251 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: this is how powerful I was. I could go over 252 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: to Ukraine and tell them who to fire and I 253 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: could own them while it was happening. And if you 254 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: watch that video, when I see it, it actually makes 255 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: me angry because it was a glimpse into the abuse 256 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: of power that Joe Biden was willing to wield around 257 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: the world on a litany probably of issues. And now 258 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: we know why he was doing it. It was for 259 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: the money and for the Biden crime family. 260 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. But of the elements of bribery, Joe 261 00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: Biden's confession on tape is direct evidence that he committed 262 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: one of the critical elements of bribery. Now we don't 263 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: yet have direct evidence of every element of the crime, 264 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: but we have direct evidence of one of the most critical, 265 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: critical aspects of the crime, which is the quote that 266 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: Joe Biden has admitted, and that is unequivocally direct evidence, 267 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: and it's pretty damn compelling direct evidence. There's a second 268 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: very clear instance of direct evidence, and that is Hunter 269 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Biden's what's app message to the Chinese Communist official, and 270 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: I want to read it to you again, Hunter Biden 271 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 2: texted quote. I am sitting here with my father and 272 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: we would like to understand why the commitment made has 273 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: not been fulfilled. Tell the director I would like to 274 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and 275 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: now means tonight and z if I get a call 276 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: or a text from anyone involved in this other than you, 277 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: Zang or the chairman, I will make certain that between 278 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: the man sitting next to me and every person he knows, 279 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you 280 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here 281 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: waiting for the call with. 282 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: My father not to shake down. 283 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: Now. 284 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: That is direct evidence. That is a written text sent 285 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: by Hunter Biden. That is direct evidence that he and 286 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: his father are shaking down a Chinese Communist official. It's 287 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: not circumstantial, it is direct evidence. Now it is possible 288 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: that direct evidence is false, just as if if Hunter 289 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: Biden came into court and testified my father and I 290 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 2: shook down a Chinese Communist official, he could be lying. 291 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he could, yeah, but I doubt it. 292 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: You can teach his credibility. You could say he's lying, 293 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: but it is direct evidence. Direct evidence doesn't necessarily mean 294 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: that it is true. Sometimes direct evidence is false. But 295 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: that's not only direct evidence. It's pretty damn compelling direct evidence. 296 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: So I promise you in the next week you will 297 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: see multiple Democrats and multiple yabbering puppets in the corporate 298 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: media say there's no direct evidence. You know, there's no 299 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: direct evidence. The AP will say the allegations of corruption 300 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: against Joe Biden, of which there is no direct evidence, 301 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 2: and they'll state it as a fact, and it is 302 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: a lie. Every time they say it. They're lying. Because 303 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: those two are serious pieces of direct evidence. 304 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about not only that, but let's 305 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: connect this to suspicious activity reports. Is this the type 306 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: of stuff that will come out in impeachment when they 307 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: go through it as saying, Hey, we can connect the 308 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: quid pro quote, we can connect these these audio recordings, 309 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: We can connect the present's words to these financial bank 310 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: records and all of the bank records that James comert 311 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: on this show. If you missed a podcast we did 312 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: with them, go back and listen to it, Jim Jordan, 313 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: the same thing. They have so much evidence with the 314 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: specious activity reports and the cash going to the Biden crime 315 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: family members, right, we know direct payments, we're going to 316 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: multiple Biden family members. Is that where this could be 317 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: so damning to this president, could put his presidency at risk? 318 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Yes. 319 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: And let me underscore if you didn't listen to our 320 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: two part series with James Comer, you ought to go 321 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 2: back and listen to it because we walk through at length. 322 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: Now everything you just listed is circumstantial evidence. And I 323 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 2: want to take a minute because there's a ton of 324 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: circumstantial evidence and all of the smarmy people on TV 325 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: who are saying no direct evidence, they're pretending like direct 326 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: evidence is the only kind of evidence that exists. So, Ben, 327 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: if there's a dead body and with multiple gunshot wounds, and. 328 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: I love how I'm always the bad guy in these scenarios. 329 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: If you notice this, like everybody, I'm always the bad 330 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: guy here, I'm ready for it. 331 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: Keep going next to the dead body. It appears that 332 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 2: the dead with his bloody finger scrawled in the ground. 333 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: Ferguson did it? Did it? 334 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: Ferguson did it? 335 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: Now that's not actually direct evidence. And let's say furthermore 336 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: that you're found at home covered in the man's blood, 337 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: with gunpowder covering your body and the murder weapon. 338 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 3: At your feet. 339 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: Okay, none of that is direct evidence either. And you 340 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 2: know what, You're going. 341 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: Away for the rest of your life. 342 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: I don't need any more evidence that evidence bye bye, yeah. 343 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: I Circumstantial evidence convicts people every single day. So what 344 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: is the circumstantial evidence. Look with James Comber, he walked 345 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: through the suspicious activity reports over and over and over again. 346 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: The massive number of suspicious activity reports, the more than 347 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: twenty shell companies. That is circumstantial evidence. As we talked 348 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 2: through with James Comber, you don't create shell companies unless 349 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 2: it is to hide the source of cash. That is 350 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: serious circumstance. The allegations in the FD ten twenty three 351 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 2: from a confidential human source that the FBI had previously 352 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: found reliable who says that the Ukrainian oligarch told him 353 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden demanded five million each 354 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: in order for Joe to get the prosecutor fired. Now 355 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: that's not direct evidence because the confidential human source doesn't 356 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: know it directly. He's repeating what he says that that 357 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 2: that the oligarch said, so that that is hearsay, but 358 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: it is circumstantial evidence and is significant the twenty plus 359 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 2: million dollars that the House of Representatives has already documented 360 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: that flowed into the Biden family to people, by the way, 361 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: who by all appearances, have no connection to foreign countries. 362 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: It's just like, hey, I need your bank count and 363 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: here's some. 364 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 3: Money, and it's it's it's it. 365 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: Must be nice. That's gotta be a fun day. Like 366 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about that enough. Center the fact that 367 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: you could just have the last name Biden and you 368 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: and randomly you get like a text from Hunter right 369 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: or from Joe's like handy Jaman account if I'm going 370 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: to send you over one hundred thousand bucks, Like that's 371 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: gotta be kind of cool if you're in that situation 372 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: where it's just like, hey, I'm a Biden. Now every 373 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: once in a while, this money just randomly shows up 374 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: in my bank account with a random LLC. Because that's 375 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: what they've been doing for years, if not decades. 376 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, although it may not be all that cool 377 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 2: because remember Hunter Biden in a twenty nineteen text to 378 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: his daughter complains about how his father, Joe Biden, made 379 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: him give him quote half. 380 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: His salary, yeah, half everything. 381 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, Loo, Look this is that that likewise, all of 382 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 4: this piles to a mountain of evidence, both direct and circumstantial, 383 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: and that mountain of evidence is serious. 384 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: But there's something else, which is the cover up. So 385 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: let's go back to this hypothetical of the guy you 386 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: whacked and I don't know why you killed him, you eat. 387 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 3: I'm not sure it was I'm sure it was God. 388 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: But we should at the end of the year just 389 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: come up with all the possible crimes and as examples 390 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: that I have committed in my and the last year 391 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: on verdict and just turn it into a best steff, 392 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: keep going. 393 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 2: So if you're caught on film driving out on. 394 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 4: A bridge now and flinging the gun. 395 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: Over the bridge, over the bridge into the water, now, look, 396 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 2: that doesn't prove if the gun has never recovered that 397 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 2: it's the murder weapon. 398 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: But if it's the night of the murder, yeah. 399 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: And you're doing it really urgently, it's pretty strong circumstantial 400 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: evidence that you are hiding evidence that that that demonstrates 401 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 2: your guilt, and in fact, you will see in a 402 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 2: court of law. If a defendant destroys evidence h a 403 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: court can instruct the jury to draw a negative inference 404 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: that that evidence would would have demonstrated would. 405 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 3: Have been bad for them. 406 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: In this instance, we know that Joe Biden had multiple 407 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 2: burner phones. We know that he had multiple fake emails, 408 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: up to five thy four hundred of them in the 409 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: National Archives. We know that he emailed Hunter Biden. We 410 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: know that he emailed Hunter Biden about Ukraine. And we 411 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: know also that two senior IRS career employees have come 412 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 2: forward as whistleblowers and have said the Biden administration engage 413 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 2: number one in line to Congress under oath of felony 414 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: YEP and number two in multiple instances of obstruction of justice. 415 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 2: And in particular it's worth focusing on what was the 416 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 2: obstruction of justice. Let's go back to the WhatsApp, to 417 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: the message that Hunter said. The IRS whistleblowers said they 418 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: wanted to examine GPS data to determine well, when Hunter 419 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: sent that text, was Daddy sitting next to him? There's 420 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 2: an answer, it's either yes or no. If it's yes, 421 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 2: that is not direct evidence that Hunter was telling the truth, 422 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: but it's pretty strong circumstantial evidence, and according to the 423 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: IRS whistleblowers, the Biden DOJ said no, no, no, no, no, 424 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 2: you cannot examine the GPS locations. They likewise said no, 425 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: you cannot ask anything about Joe. The fact that the 426 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: Biden Department of Justice is willing to commit felonies allegedly, 427 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: according to the whistleblowers, yeah, in order to prevent investigation 428 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 2: into Joe's involvement is powerful evidence of Joe's. 429 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 3: Significant involvement. 430 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 2: Because just like throwing the gun off the bridge, you 431 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: don't do it if you didn't do anything wrong. 432 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you this question about this 433 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: impeachment compared to the Trump impeachment, the first impeachment, and 434 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: if you were the lawyer for Trump, then it was 435 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: more about defending yourself. A friend of mine, Jay Seque, 436 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: as you know, helped with that first impeachment, defended the president. 437 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: It was more about a vigorous defense of the absurdity 438 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: of what they were charging Donald Trump with. This is 439 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: obviously completely different than that. This is a one point 440 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: eighty from that. We knew that Russian collusion was crap. 441 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: They knew it was crap, they knew how to defend it. 442 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: And they defended him. I think pretty well this impeachment, 443 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: if you were defending Joe Biden from a legal standpoint, 444 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: what are your biggest concerns if you're having to meet 445 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden, and what are your biggest concerns for 446 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: his presidency if you're meeting with Joe Biden from a 447 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: legal standpoint that could come out in this impeachment that 448 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: maybe has never been you know, has come out either 449 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: a before you haven't had to at least answer questions for. 450 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: Your biggest concern is all the evidence against you, uh, 451 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: the direct evidence, the evidence that you basically admitted to 452 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: one of the elements of bribery, the evidence the text 453 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 2: message that your son has been caught shaking down Chinese 454 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 2: communists for millions of dollars and explicitly threatening that you're 455 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: the one who would engage in retaliation. That has tied 456 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 2: you into it. That direct evidence is certainly troubling, but 457 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: all the circumstantial evidence which would trouble you as well. 458 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 2: And look, here's what the Biden White House is going 459 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 2: to do. They're going to count on the corporate media 460 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 2: to ignore that. They're going to count on the corporate 461 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: media to echo their talking points. 462 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: And not cover it like they did the Trump impeachment. 463 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: It's to completely ignore it and refuse to address the facts. 464 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 2: And every day you will see a night and day difference, 465 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: not just between the Joe Biden impeachment and the Trump impeachments, 466 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: but between the Joe Biden impeachment and the ridiculous Trump indictments. 467 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: There is a world of difference. And we've discussed at 468 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 2: great length on this podcast the Trump indictments, which are 469 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 2: political and partisan. In this instance, the evidence of actual 470 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: bribery by the President of the United States is serious 471 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,719 Speaker 2: and severe, and there's not a single Democrat who is 472 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 2: willing to address the merits. They're counting on the press 473 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 2: just to take their blanket dismissals. 474 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: Let me tell you about our friends of her Chalk. 475 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: If you're a guy and you feel like you are 476 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: losing your edge, maybe fatigue is sitting in and you're 477 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: just sick and tired of feeling tired, and you want 478 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: to get back to that strength of vitality used to have, well, 479 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: then you need to check out chalk choq dot com. 480 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: Now the problem is men says stostorm levels are off 481 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: a cliff.

Walk 503 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: us through how impeachment works when it comes to witnesses. 504 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: Well. 505 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland is expected to testify before the House Judiciary 506 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 2: Committee in the coming days, and he will certainly face 507 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: significant questions about the allegations that he personally lied under 508 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: oath and committed a felony. Now, I assume he'll dodge 509 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: all of them and defiantly and arrogantly refuse to engage 510 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: in the substance. I also assume he will get questions 511 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 2: about the allegations of obstruction of justice, and I expect 512 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland to not be remotely forthcoming. I think at 513 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: some point you will see David Weiss called before Congress 514 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: to testify. David Weiss has been directly implicated in the 515 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: obstruction of justice, which is I believe why Merrick Garland 516 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: named him the quote special counsel. Because Garland and the 517 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: Biden DOJ knew they could count on Weiss to protect 518 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: the big guy, and that's their most important objective. We've 519 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: talked about how Schwerin, who was the kind of money 520 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 2: guy and fixer for Biden is a very likely witness 521 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: and could be a very damning witness, and I would 522 00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 2: anticipate seeing him come. And then we may well assume 523 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden, if he's called to testify, will stonewall at 524 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 2: this point the legal. 525 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: What does that look like when you say stonewall? Is 526 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: it a tactic or are you saying he just won't 527 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: answer questions? 528 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 3: My assumption is will plead the fifth. 529 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So he just come in say I plead the 530 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: fifth and that's the end of it. 531 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: I assume that's the case, given the multiple felonies and 532 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 2: the fact that he even Dad's White House seems to 533 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: be running away from him. I would be shocked if 534 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden said anything else other than on the advice 535 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: of counsel, I plead the fifth. I will say one 536 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 2: other thing, which is this Biden impeachment is demonstrating the 537 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: utter and complete hypocrisy of congressional Democrats. Let me read 538 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: what Chuck Schumer said this week, right after the House 539 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: announced it's impeachment. Schumer said, quote, I think the impeachment 540 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 2: inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do 541 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 2: something that will make their lives better not go off 542 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: on these chases witch hunts. So Schumer is literally using 543 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: Trump's language about witch hunts and just repeating word for 544 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: word what the defense was. Now, look, I think the 545 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 2: Biden impeachments of Trump were witch hunts. Ironically, this is not. 546 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 2: This is serious evidence that Congress would be derelict if 547 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: it didn't investigate. Here, by the way, is a quote 548 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: from from Democrat Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. 549 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 3: Quote. 550 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: This is what banana dictatorships do is arrest political opponents 551 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: without any evidence. Now that's screamingly funny. Yeah, given that 552 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: the Democrats have arrested their political opponent like a banana republic. 553 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 554 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 2: But part of the reasons Democrats can be such total 555 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: hypocrites is they know the corporate media will never call 556 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: them out on it. That the corporate media will nod 557 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: say yes, yes, but at a republic terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, 558 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: no direct evidence, no direct evidence. And if you take 559 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: nothing else from this podcast today, remember every time they 560 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: say the words no direct evidence, they're. 561 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: Lying one other thing about this. And this is where 562 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: people say, Okay, we have this thing, it happens. Let's 563 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,239 Speaker 1: say it is a big deal. Let's say there are 564 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: some some some you know minds that the Democrats step on, 565 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: the White House steps on, we still don't have the 566 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: votes and the Senate to do anything about it. Right, 567 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna That's what people that are cynical 568 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: and frustrated are gonna say about this. So how should 569 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: we be looking at this impeachment? 570 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 3: Is this? 571 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: Should? Should? 572 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 3: Should? 573 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: Should? People that are listening to look at it from 574 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: a standpoint of, Hey, we're getting the truth out there 575 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: in a very big way about Joe Biden before he's 576 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: running for reelection and that can be extremely powerful and 577 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: and in other words, judgment day may be election day. 578 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: Or should we look at it and be frustrated and 579 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: cynical because like, well, even if we nail this thing 580 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: in the House, it ain't going to pass the Senate. 581 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: So he's not going to be impeached and lose his 582 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: job over this? What mindset? What hatch to listeners put on? 583 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 2: So a little bit of both, listen, The cynicism is 584 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: not misplaced. Senate Democrats and House Democrats do not care 585 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 2: what evidence there is of Joe Biden being corruptive, is 586 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: soliciting and receiving bribes from falling foreign oligarchs. They don't care. 587 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: Partisan politics trumps everything. To use my hypothetical, if the 588 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 2: dead guy had scrawled in blood Ferguson did it. 589 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 3: With Joe Biden. 590 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Joe Biden walked out covered in his blood, 591 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: Democrats would be like nothing to see here. 592 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: Remind people what the makeup of the Senate right now. 593 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: Makeup of the Senate is fifty one Democrats, forty nine 594 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: republic All. 595 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: Right, we've heard about some of you maybe becoming independent. 596 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: We've heard, you know, wishy washy things about Joe Manchin 597 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: for example. Is there any scenario where the evidence could 598 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: be so damning on the House side that you could 599 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: you could flip two different people's people in the Senate? 600 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 2: It wouldn't matter if you flip two, because you need 601 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: two thirds, you need sixty seven. 602 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 3: There you go, and right now we have zero. 603 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 2: Right now we have zero Democrats who, to the best 604 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 2: of my knowledge, I'm not aware of a single Democrat 605 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 2: who's even asked a skeptical question, who has even said, well, 606 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 2: you know, if Biden did, in fact solicit and receive 607 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 2: bribes from foreign nationals, that would be a problem. No, 608 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: Democrat has even said that. And you contrast this to 609 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 2: Richard Nixon. Listen, the reason Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace 610 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 2: is Republicans turned on him. They turned on him when 611 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:35,959 Speaker 2: the evidence got over. And I don't believe Democrats would ever, ever, 612 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 2: ever turn on Biden because partisanship matters more than anything. 613 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: But be that as it may, that does not mean 614 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: that impeachment is a waste of time, because it is 615 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 2: the only way to put these facts before the American people. 616 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 2: In a sane and normal world, the Department of Justice 617 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: would investigate and prosecute him. We'd get a special counsel 618 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 2: who was independent, who was consistent with the DOJ rules, 619 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 2: was not an employee of DJ, and actually would investigate 620 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 2: in conveni grand jury and potentially prosecute these crimes. The 621 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 2: Biden DOJ won't do that because it's the most partisan 622 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 2: and political DJ we've ever seen. But putting these facts 623 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 2: before the American people is valuable, nonetheless. But to be clear, 624 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 2: a critical part of that is what we're doing right 625 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: now on Verdict, which which is the million people who 626 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 2: listen to Verdict. All of y'all now have the information 627 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 2: when you go and you're talking to your brother in law, 628 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 2: you're talking to your coworker, you're talking to your classmate, 629 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 2: and they say, well, you know there's no direct evidence 630 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 2: because that's the talking point they've heard. You now know 631 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: how to refute that, and that is powerful. That has 632 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 2: a multiplier effect, and it's how I believe, ultimately you 633 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 2: force accountability. 634 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 1: Want to tell you about our friends of the Gust 635 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: of Precious Metals.

I said on my podcast today, I 663 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: always worry because you've noticed this in the polls. Biden 664 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: poll numbers right now are not good, and the media 665 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: seems to be telling more the truth about how bad 666 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: the poll numbers are. And the majority of Americans now 667 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: say they do believe that Joe Biden was corrupt in 668 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: some manner with his son in the business dealings. That's 669 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: that's that's significant. CNN even came out PBS on Sunday. 670 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: They even had one of their commentators and said, I 671 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: underestimated Joe Biden's involvement with Hunter Biden and the Biden 672 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: family businesses. Is there a concern that if the Republicans 673 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 1: play this too strong and don't take their time toly 674 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: at the evidence, this could backfire in the same way. 675 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: And again I'm asking from a political standpoint that every 676 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: time the Democrats indict Donald Trump, what happens, Republicans stand 677 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 1: behind Donald Trump even more, they say, send him money, 678 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: they support him, His poll numbers go up. Is there 679 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: a concern that if Republicans don't nail this the right way, 680 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: that this actually galvanizes people that maybe are wherehy washy 681 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: on Biden and then it actually helps him stand up 682 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: better than he is right now, Yeah. 683 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 2: Look that that is conceivable. And there's no doubt that 684 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 2: the multiple indictments against Trump have added a lot of points, 685 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 2: at least ten points to his numbers in the primary 686 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 2: because Republicans have understandably gotten pissed off that it's obviously 687 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: a political persecution. So that counsels that the Republicans, the 688 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 2: Republicans in the House need to proceed carefully. They need 689 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 2: to be facts based, they need to be evidence based. 690 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 2: They need to not have it appear political. Now in 691 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 2: today's world, there will be people who naturally assume it's political. 692 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 2: But but that that that is certainly a vulnerability to 693 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 2: be aware of. Another vulnerability is at some point the 694 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 2: Democrats and or the media might decide that Joe Biden 695 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 2: is two wounded and jettison him and try to parachute 696 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 2: someone else in I think that remains a very real risk. 697 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that a lot more on 698 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 2: the podcast, but not on this one. 699 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was an interesting article this week that mentioned 700 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: five other names that came out all of a sudden, 701 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: off Joe Biden, don't run.
