1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 2: It is verdict with center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 2: and Senator let's start with the big news. It is 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: the red carpet welcome to the communists from China, Jijingping. 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: He came to America and boy did we clean up 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: the world for him in San Francisco and literally gave 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 2: him a red carpet welcoming. This is the present, told 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: being it's time, it's good to see you again. 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: And he also said something else. 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 2: It was incredibly shocking, and I want to get your 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: take on it. He said this at the table at 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: their first meeting. Sitting to his left was Janet Yellen. 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: Sitting to his right was Anthony Blincoln. At that table, 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: you had John carry down at one end as well. 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: It was the full Biden you know, red carpet welcome. 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: And here's what he said. 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 3: We also have a responsibility to our people and in 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: the world to work together when we see it in 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 3: our interest to do so. 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: Okay, we also have responsibility to our people and to 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: the world to work together. 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: Is that true? 23 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: No, of course it's not. And listen that this was 24 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: a sad meeting. It was a meeting of capitulation. This 25 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: was by any measure, it was a meeting of the 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 3: world's most powerful communist and the president of China. 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: You look at them meeting, and you see this happening 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: in us rolling out the red carpet for him. Look 29 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: at the past here, and let's just go through some 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 2: of these since he's taken office. Biden allowed a Chinese 31 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: spy balloon to survey our entire country, knowing what it 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: was doing, spying on us, and refused to shoot it 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: down until after it already completed its mission. Biden resumed 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: funding for the World Health Organization despite China's significant influence. 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: And then, just to put in perspective, Biden bought one 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: point three billion, not million, but billion dollars in Chinese 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: made COVID tests and then gave them to Americans. On 38 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: top of the fact that Biden let China build secret 39 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: spying facilities in nearby countries that could survey America. And 40 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: that's just the beginning of the list that's been all 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: for China, nothing to protect America. 42 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: Well, listen, there's a fundamental problem, which is Joe Biden 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: and the Democrat Party are structurally pro China. And the 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 3: reason for this, and I explain this at length in 45 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: my brand new book, which is on Amazon right now, 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: in bookstores right now, go buy it. But in the book, 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: I explained the reason the Democrat Party is so indebted 48 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: to China is every one of their major stakeholders, big business, 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 3: big tech, big Hollywood, big universities, all of them are 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: in bed with China, and so Joe Biden. Joe Biden 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: is spent literally fifty years in Washington as an apologist 52 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 3: for the Chinese communists, defending them, saying, come on, man, 53 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: there are friends. They're not our enemies. There are friends. 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: He's been saying that for fifty years. So look, you 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: mentioned a minute ago been the Chinese spibulon the Chinese 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 3: spibulin number one. We would never have known about that 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: if some intrepid ranchers in Montana hadn't looked up and 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: seen the damn thing in the sky. That's the only 59 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: reason we know about it. It was literally a couple 60 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: of guys in Montana that had telescopes that said, what 61 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: the hell is that? And they tweeted about it, and 62 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 3: suddenly the Biden Administration's like, oh crap, the Chinese are 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: surveilling our military installations are engaging in espionage over the 64 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: United States. Don't mind you. They didn't shoot it down 65 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: when it entered US airspace. They allowed it to cross 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: US airspace, they allowed it to hover over US military installation, 67 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: they allowed it to engage in ongoing espionage and surveillance. 68 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: And it was only after it had crossed the entire 69 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: continental United States that had crossed in the Atlantic Ocean. 70 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: Then they shot it down after its mission was over, 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: after it had broadcast all of the espionage back to China. 72 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: Then they shut it down as a PR move. And 73 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: then it got really ridiculous. If you remember, the Biden 74 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: administration proceeded to shoot several other things down, including what 75 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: appears to be a weather balloon launched by a bunch 76 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: of high school students in Illinois. So we spent presumably 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars missile to knock down a one 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: hundred dollars balloon. That's the Biden administration. And the reason is, look, 79 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: this was about politics and PR It was not about 80 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: standing up to China. And so when Biden went to 81 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: San Francisco, he does not have an objective of defending 82 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: our nation from our most significant enemy. One of the 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: things I discussed in the book Unwoke is how when 84 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: I arrived in the Senate eleven years ago, I was 85 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 3: arguing then that China poses the greatest geopolitical threat to 86 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 3: the United States for the next century, that this is 87 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: a massive battle, and we need to come together and understand. 88 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: China is waging a thousand year war. Their objective is 89 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: complete geopolitical domination. And right now the Biden administration not 90 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: only as not opposed to that, they're supporting that, they're 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 3: emphatically in bed with China. And we need to get serious. 92 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: And by the way, when I got here in twenty thirteen, 93 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: my view is a wild minority view. All of the 94 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: Democrats disagreed with me, and most of the Republicans disagreed 95 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: with me. They frankly, they looked at China. They saw 96 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: nothing but dollar signs as far as the eye could see. 97 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: They just saw lots and lots of money. And at 98 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: this point, we have seen China number one, engage in 99 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: systematic murder torture. They have concentration camps with over one 100 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: million kures in slave labor. They engage at espionage, they 101 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: engage in theft at a global level. In a way 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: that's never been happened before. Look, espionage and theft has 103 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: always been part of human relations, but we've never had 104 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: a nation state with trillions of dollars of GDP investing 105 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: in stealing the intellectual property of the United States. That 106 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: that is a new dynamic. And none of that even 107 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 3: takes into account China's incredible culpability with the COVID virus. 108 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: I believe the overwhelming weight of the evidence suggests that 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 3: the COVID virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, 110 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: and I think the majority of the evidence. I don't 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: think it is as compelling, but I think it is 112 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 3: more likely than not that the virus was manufactured by 113 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 3: the Chinese government in that land, That they took existing coronaviruses, 114 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: that they modified them using gain of function research. They 115 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: made the more transmissible, they made the more deadly, they 116 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 3: made the more dangerous for humans, and then it was 117 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: released from the Wuhana Institute Virology. That means, and then 118 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: after that happened, it is undisputed that China covered it up. 119 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: They disappeared the whistleblowers, they disappeared the doctors, they hid 120 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 3: the break of COVID nineteen and on any level, China 121 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: bears enormous culpability for the millions of deaths that came 122 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: from COVID, from the trillions of dollars of economic damage 123 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: that came from COVID. And you know what, Joe Biden 124 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: didn't say a damn word about any of that when 125 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: he sat down with she in San Francisco. 126 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 127 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: One of the things when he said down with him 128 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: is this idea. And you could see it in the Democrats. 129 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: They were really pushing this idea center that we needed 130 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: a grand reset with China. We need to open back 131 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: up relations where we're talking with them, or their military 132 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: is talking with our military, and this is all about 133 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: a grand reset. Did we really need a grand reset 134 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: with China? 135 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: Look, grand reset is the favorite approach of the Democrats. 136 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: You'll recall Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State, 137 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: she engaged in a quote grand reset with Russia. In fact, 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: she went over and she met with Lavrov, the Foreign 139 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: Minister of Russia, with a big red button. It was 140 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: very theatrical, but their idea was mean. Old Republicans viewed 141 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: Russia as our enemy. We now know Russia is our friend. 142 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 3: By the way, remember the debate in twenty twelve. You 143 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 3: and I both watched them between Obama and Mitt Romney, 144 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: where Mitt Romney was saying in twenty twelve that he 145 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: saw Russia as an enormous geopolitical threat. You remember what 146 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: Barack Obama said in response to that. 147 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, with the Cold War is over, they're 148 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: calling for the talking points back and calmed down. 149 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. He looked at Mitt and he said, the nineteen 150 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: eighties are calling they want their talking points back. Yeah. 151 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: And it was this smug liberal sense that Russia is 152 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: now our friend and we're going to have a grand 153 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: reset with Russia. Mind you, we're in the middle of 154 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: friggin war in Ukraine that Biden caused because of his weakness. 155 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: They now describe Putin as the modern day Hitler. And 156 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: yet these imbeciles did a grand reset a decade ago. 157 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: That's the Democrat Party. So now their grand reset is 158 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: with China. Never mind that China is unambiguously hostile to America. 159 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 3: They wanted to feed America, they wanted to displace US 160 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: as the world's economic superpower. They want to displace US militarily. 161 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: They want to dominate the United States of America. And 162 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: yet Democrats say that is hunky dory. We are all 163 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 3: in with communist China. 164 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about Augusta Precious Metals.

I think for him, he 195 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: wanted to come here. I'm sure he's laughing in their meetings, 196 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: going wow, we exported COVID and really hurt financially America. 197 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: Interest rates are up, we have a lot of their debt. 198 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: They're paying us even more money. And now we're walking 199 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: off the plane to this red carpet welcome. What does 200 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: this do to embolden him, especially on the issue of Taiwan. 201 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: Look on Taiwan. She has got to feel incredibly encouraged. 202 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 3: He looks at Joe Biden Number one. Any enemy of 203 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: America that sits down with Joe Biden recognizes this man 204 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 3: is too old, his mental capacity is not there. He 205 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: is not an effective commander in chief. There is a 206 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: reason the world has gone to hell in a handbasket. 207 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 3: Think about it. Two and a half years ago, Joe 208 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: Biden came into the White House. He inherited peace and prosperity. 209 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: The world was in very good shape. We now have 210 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: two simultaneous wars. We have the biggest war in Europe 211 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: since World War II and simultaneously the worst war in 212 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: the Middle East in fifty years. That's what happens when 213 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 3: the US commander in chief is weak and and effective, 214 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: and nobody is afraid of him, nobody thinks he's credible, 215 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 3: nobody thinks he will follow through on anything. And she 216 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 3: is looking at that saying, there has never been a 217 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: better time in the history of the universe for China 218 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: to invade Taiwan than right now today. And the fact 219 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden welcomes she to China and basically bends 220 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: down and kisses his ass that. 221 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 4: You know. 222 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: It's something on foreign policy that is counterintuitive. Where people 223 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 3: think strength, some people on the media's democrats think strength 224 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: make it more likely to go to war. It's actually 225 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: the exact opposite weakness makes war most likely. I hate war. 226 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 3: I am someone who is extremely, extremely reluctant to send 227 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 3: US servicemen and women into combat. Yesterday I had the 228 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 3: great privilege I sat down with about twenty twenty five 229 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: West Point cadets who came to visit me in my office, 230 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: something I've done several years in a row. And I 231 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: love meeting with these young men and women who signed 232 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 3: up to defend our nation. They're incredible scholars and leaders 233 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: and athletes. They have character, and we talked. We had 234 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: a good hour hour and a half conversation, but we 235 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 3: talked about, among other things, foreign policy. And I said, look, 236 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 3: I consider myself a non interventionist. Talk I think you 237 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: should be very reluctant to send US servicemen and women 238 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: into harm's way. But the way you prevent war is 239 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 3: you're strong enough that nobody wants to screw with you. 240 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: Joe Biden is embodying the opposite of that, which is 241 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: he is so weak, he's so ineffective that every enemy 242 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 3: of America is in bolden. I've joked before there is 243 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: a reason nobody studies at the Neville Chamberlain School of 244 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 3: Foreign Airs. Appeasement doesn't work. Just this week, Biden announced 245 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 3: billions more for Iran. Iran fun Samas, trains the Hamas terrorists, 246 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: sends them into Israel, commits horrific acts of terror. And 247 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 3: what is Biden said here? I have a few billion 248 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: more That is truly stunning. And so she is looking 249 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: at this saying, hey, I don't think she has a 250 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: tiniest bit of concern about what Biden would do if 251 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: he invaded Taiwan and China. Innovading Taiwan would be absolutely 252 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: catastrophic for the US economy and US national security, because, 253 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: among other things, we are profoundly dependent upon Taiwan and 254 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: China for advanced semiconductors. Advanced semiconductors are used in just 255 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: about every electronics we use, from our cell phones to 256 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: our cars, to our trucks, to our planes, to our 257 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: military weapons to missiles, and and just about every device 258 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: of modern life uses advanced semiconductors. And if China invades Taiwan, 259 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 3: the US economy and the US military is in a 260 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: stranglehold of China. And I got to say, every time 261 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: Biden shows weakness to China, the chances of that go 262 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: up dramatically. 263 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the possibility of the Biden's being compromised. 264 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: If you look at the list, and this list, I 265 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: do want to go through it because I think it's 266 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: really important. It doesn't sound like this is a list 267 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: that a normal president would allow to happen under his watch. 268 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: I mentioned a few of these earlier, but I want 269 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: to start the very beginning again. Biden allowed the Chinese 270 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: by balloon to have surveillance of our entire country. He 271 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: resumed the funding for the World Health Organization despite China's 272 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: massively influence. Biden brought one point three billion dollars, bought 273 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: one point three billion, and Chinese made COVID tests and 274 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: then gave them to the Americans with our tax dollars. 275 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: He let Chining to build these secret spying facilities in 276 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: nearby countries. He reversed in order to limit the Chinese 277 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: spyware app TikTok. That was honestly shocking. He missed the 278 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: deadline to declassify intel on the Wuhan lab. And I 279 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: want to also ask you specifically about that in a moment, 280 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: so let's put an asterisk by that. Biden also told 281 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: a rum of Democrat donors, don't worry about China, Biden 282 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: said repeatedly, the US does not want to decouple from China, 283 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: and Biden admitted he doesn't want to contain China either, 284 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: especially when it comes to the issue of Taiwan. Biden 285 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: ignored Chinese hackers breaching the email accounts of senior US 286 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: government officials and did not basically go after China or 287 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: warned them any capacity that wasn't meaningful, and then Biden 288 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: declared he's not concerned about China yet again. Now you 289 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: put all that together under the last two and a 290 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: half years of this man's presidency, and then you put 291 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: it side by side with the business dealings of Biden 292 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: crime family directly with these people in China and these 293 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: companies connected the Chinese Communist Party and those that are 294 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: even connected to the Chinese intelligence apparatus, a spying apparatus 295 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: of the Chinese Communist Party. Is some of this actually 296 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: as simplistic as it looks that, hey, this guy may 297 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 2: be compromised by the Chinese. 298 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: So look, I think it's both. There is serious evidence 299 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: of corruption from Communist China that millions of dollars flowed 300 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 3: to Hunter Biden, to Joe Biden, to the Biden crime family. 301 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 3: That is an enormous problem, and it does compromise the president. 302 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: I believe there also is a second component that again 303 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: millions of dollars flowed to University of Pennsylvania to create 304 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: the Biden Center there when Biden was there to get 305 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 3: a cushy job post vice presidency. Again, I think that 306 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 3: compromises President Biden. But the truth of the matter is, 307 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: I think he'd do all of this garbage if he 308 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 3: hadn't made a penny from China, because I think ideologically 309 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: he is pro China. Illogically he is in bed with China, 310 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,479 Speaker 3: and so he is someone who has been wrong on 311 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 3: every foreign policy issue of the last fifty years. He 312 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 3: systematically and consistently wrong. When he sees an enemy, his 313 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 3: instinct is appease the enemy. When he sees someone who 314 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 3: hates America, his instinct is be nice to them, give 315 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: them what they want. And let me say something else 316 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: about this meeting in San Francisco. So we're watching Biden 317 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 3: meeting with She and San Francisco. I gotta say, Ben, 318 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 3: I am pissed at how they treated this meeting, and 319 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: in particular that they cleaned up the San Francisco streets. 320 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 3: They cleaned up the homeless people, they cleaned up the criminals, 321 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: they cleaned up the drug users. So a week ago, 322 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 3: the San Francisco public streets were filled with homeless people, 323 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: They were filled with criminals. They were filled with drug 324 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 3: users injecting drugs just sitting in broad deadlight. They were 325 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: filled with people defecating in the streets. In fact, there's 326 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: an app in San Francisco called poop Fine to report 327 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 3: human feces on public streets. 328 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: You literally, by the way, can't make that out. That's unbelievable. 329 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 3: It's the bizarre reality we live in. And Democrat politicians 330 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: have been telling the people of San Francisco for years 331 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 3: there's nothing we can do about it. We can't fix homelessness, 332 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 3: we can't fix crime, we can't fix drug use. We 333 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 3: are helpless. Well, you know what, Suddenly the president of 334 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 3: China shows up in holy crap, They clear all these 335 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 3: people off the streets. They clean up. They literally clean 336 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 3: up the shit like that is not hyperbole. They clean 337 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: up the streets. They make them spick and span. They're sparkling. 338 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: And I got to say, let me ask you something. Man. 339 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 3: Let's assume you're a San Francisco resident, let's assume, Okay, 340 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 3: you live in San Francisco, so you're a lefty, you're 341 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: a liberal Democrat. But you've been living with this, this crime, 342 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 3: this homelessness, this drug use. Your kids have been watching 343 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 3: this filth, and you've been told we can't fix it, 344 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 3: we can't fix it, we can't fix it. And then 345 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: suddenly the head of the Communist Party of China shows 346 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 3: up in boom, It's all magically fixed. How would you 347 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 3: not be pissed off? Why exactly is it that the 348 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 3: Democrats will do this for she out of China but 349 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 3: will not do it for the Americans who live in 350 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 3: San Francisco. What does this say about the broken policies, 351 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: the woke policies, the radical left? How it all is 352 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: a croc They know how to fix these things, they're 353 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: just not willing to and. 354 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: They can fix it the matter days. By the way, 355 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: days they were able to clean up an entire city. 356 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: That's impressive. 357 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: And by the way, there's a pattern. So this is 358 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 3: not the first time this has happened. When Joe Biden 359 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 3: came to El Passo for his vaunted trip to the border, 360 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: yeah it'll pass up. Yeah, there were illegal aliens all 361 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: over the streets. It's a crisis. The city is being 362 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: swarmed by illegal immigration. But when Joe Biden came, they 363 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: removed all the illegal immigrants from the street. And in fact, 364 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 3: the Biden White House said Biden did not see a 365 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 3: single illegal immigrant. And there's a cynicism to this, which 366 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: is and this is something we've talked about a lot, 367 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 3: that I've talked about in my new book, Unwoke, which 368 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: which is the cultural Marxist Their policies are wildly unpopular. 369 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 3: Normal people do not support open borders, don't support abolishing 370 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 3: the police, they don't support rampant crime. So for the 371 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 3: cultural Marxists, for the radical extreme in the Democrat Party, 372 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 3: they focus on in doctrination and political messaging. And so 373 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 3: when Joe Biden goes to El Paso, it's a photo op. 374 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: It's a photo op to show, hey, everything's fine. When 375 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 3: Joe Biden and she goes to San Francisco, it's a 376 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: photo op to say hey, everything's fine. And then once 377 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 3: the TV cameras leave, the people are stuck with the 378 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 3: disastrous failure of the left wing policies. 379 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Gavin News I'm talking about this cleanup, 380 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: and he had maybe one of dumbest lines that we've heard. 381 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: This is what he said about defending the timing of 382 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: the San Francisco clean up as the governor. 383 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 384 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: I know folks say, oh, they're just cleaning up this 385 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: place because all those fancy leaders. 386 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: Are coming into town. 387 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 4: That's true, because it's true. But it's also true for 388 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 4: months and months and months prior to APEC we've been 389 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: having different conversations. 390 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 2: We've been having different conversations. It's true because it's true. Yes, 391 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: it's true, we're cleaning the plates up for we're coming 392 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: to town. 393 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: It's true. 394 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: To be clear, Gavin Newsom used to be mayor of 395 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: San Francisco. This problem he created, He owns this. Now 396 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 3: he's got dreams of sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue sparkling in 397 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 3: his eyes. So he's realizing, huh, this is kind of 398 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: a problem. Let's see if we can clean it up. 399 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: So he kind of likes that that pr but understand 400 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 3: it is all pr that that there's no one, as 401 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: far as I can tell, that's a Democrat politician that 402 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 3: actually cares about the quality of life of the residents 403 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 3: of San Francis. That doesn't matter there's a reason that 404 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 3: people who live in San Francisco are fleeing the city 405 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 3: because it's unbearable and the absolute insult for them to say, yeah, 406 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 3: you people who pay taxes here, you're not important enough 407 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 3: for us to solve these problems. But when the head 408 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: of China comes hot, diggity dam, we can fix it overnight. 409 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 2: If you are sick and tired of woke companies taking 410 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 2: your money because you think you got to work with them, 411 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: and you say, well, that's all, I've got a great 412 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 2: example of that is the cell phone industry. You may think, hey, 413 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: there's two or three big companies, those are my options. 414 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 2: I can't really dictate to them what they stand for, 415 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: what they do. Well, now you have a chance with 416 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 2: a company called Patriot Mobile. You may not realize this, 417 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 2: but Big Mobile actually gives big donations to Democrats and 418 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: big donations to plan parenthood. If you don't want your 419 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: money going there, you have an option. That option is 420 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. And what they're doing right now to celebrate 421 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 2: their tenth anniversary is incredible.

I was talking about 504 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 3: my new book on Woke, so I didn't mention the podcast. 505 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 3: I talked about podcast a lot, but I mentioned it 506 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 3: zero times. So when I see it, see a text 507 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: he's on and I finished, I'm like, okay, you win. 508 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: I'm at zero so so falling down you're going to 509 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 3: beat my Yeah. 510 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: And the best part was it was I knew that 511 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 2: I was gonna win that one because I had one 512 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 2: of the longest Verdict plugs ever. 513 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what's interesting, send her cruise. 514 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: He was just on a moment ago. 515 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: We were chatting about this on our podcast Verdict would 516 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: take cruise and even the host Elizabeth, she's so sweet. 517 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 2: She's grinning from ear to ear because she gets it. 518 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 2: She understands how funny it is. And it was just 519 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 2: one of those great moments. But one of the things 520 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: that we were talking about on there, I was on 521 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: talking about this exclusive issue about cleaning up San Francisco, 522 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: and I said. 523 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 3: And I got to say, Ben, this pisses me off. 524 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: And let me ask you. I don't mean to derail you, 525 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 3: but do you think your typical lefty voter in San 526 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 3: Francisco has pissed off about this? 527 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: I would assume probably not normally, but they may have 528 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: hit their breaking point, like are you kidding me? We've 529 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 2: been living with this, and they've been talking about turning 530 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: tourism drastically. We saw a man that was cleaning off 531 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 2: his front steps, remember, and they turned him in the 532 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: worst person in the world because he sprayed with water 533 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: or homeless people they're outside defecating in front of a store, 534 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: and it was costing him his business. And so I 535 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 2: do think there's a moment where people have had enough, 536 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 2: and I think this hypocrisy may resonate with some of 537 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: the people in San Francisco enough to change leadership, Let's 538 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: be honest. 539 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: Probably not. 540 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you were saying, sorry, I just know. I just so. 541 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: I was literally at dinner with a number of folks 542 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: in DC and we were debating this question, and one 543 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 3: guy who was having dinner with said, well, you know, 544 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: maybe the lefties are saying, well, gosh, what happened to 545 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 3: the homeless people? Where are they now? Are they okay? 546 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: Are they safe? We need to take care of them more. 547 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 3: Maybe they're worried about that. And I'm like, look, I 548 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: try to understand the perspective of people who disagree with me, 549 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 3: but I have to confess I'm not the best person 550 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 3: on earth to really get in the mind of a 551 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 3: San Francisco left wing That's just I have it hard. 552 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: It's hard for me to really grasp how they view 553 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 3: this and think it's okay. And so I don't know 554 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 3: if when they see it cleaned up they react like, 555 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 3: holy crap, why didn't you do this a year ago? 556 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 3: If you could do this, why did you allow this 557 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 3: to continue? Or if they just say, well, got I 558 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 3: mean one of the things I responded, I said, Look, 559 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: today's Democrat Party is so command and control they follow 560 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 3: orders that maybe the folks there are like, well, no, no, no, 561 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 3: this is okay. This made sense for this meeting, But 562 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 3: generally speaking, we can't fix it, and this meeting was important. 563 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're willing to just be told 564 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: that by their political overlords. 565 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: Well, and the point that I made, I said, for 566 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 2: lefties who always love to give themselves these massive hugs 567 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: of we are the people of compassion and love and understanding. 568 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 2: Where's the compassion and the love and the outrage from 569 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: the left are the fact that you just took home 570 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: with people and took all their belongings and threw them 571 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 2: in the trash and told them find somewhere else to 572 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: be homeless. Where is the compassion for those homeless people 573 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: just because of a communist leader that, by the way, 574 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: is running concentration camps and slave labor and child labor. 575 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: You want to clean up a city, so you then 576 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 2: treat these homeless people in such an inhumane way because 577 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 2: they're in your way. Where is the where's the outrage 578 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: from the compassionate left? Because I have not seen that 579 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: so far. 580 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen any of that at all. And 581 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: part of it is they don't criticize their own I 582 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 3: mean they have message discipline. Whatever the message is of 583 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 3: the day, they're all on board with the same thing. 584 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 2: Last question on this I want to ask you, and 585 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 2: it deals with the investigation of the Bidens. 586 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: You look at the money. 587 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: We're getting more information about these checks that are going 588 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 2: to the president. And you you see this present bow 589 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: down as you describe it, kissing the a double ass 590 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 2: of this of this Chinese communist leader. 591 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 3: But you look at the house. I'm glad you spelled 592 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 3: that for our listeners. They know what it was. You know, 593 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 3: we have a lot of elementary school children that listen 594 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 3: to this. 595 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: Okay, just for you, Senator, just because you had to 596 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 2: go vote in the midil the show kissing his ass, 597 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: there we go. 598 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: You got the record there, that's all right. 599 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 3: I like that. I'm a negative influence on you. Ben. 600 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: I'm a team player here, a team player. But you 601 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: look at this, these checks. Joe Biden resid a forty 602 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 2: thousand dollars check and launder Chinese money from the account 603 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 2: of his brother James Biden, his sister in law Sarah Biden, 604 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: in the form of a personal check. We know that 605 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: because the check number sixty one forty two. We have 606 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: a copy of it. It was made on September third, 607 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Of course it said loan reimbursement. That's not 608 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: the first check, by the way, that's the second check 609 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: that has come in. Hunter Biden also wired another one 610 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars the Line Hall Group, a 611 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: company owned by President By's brother James and Cinstine law 612 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: Sarah on August of twenty eighth of seventeen. 613 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: And then guess what happens. 614 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 2: Sarah Biden with drew fifty thousand in cash from the 615 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: Lion Hall Group and later the same day she deposited 616 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: it into her and James Biden, James Biden's personal Jake account, 617 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: and then they write the check to Joe Biden for 618 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: the quote loan repayment that I mean, we're at over 619 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars now. And we also know that 620 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,239 Speaker 2: the money trail began in July of twenty seventeen when 621 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden demanded payment from his Chinese Communist Party. You know, friend, 622 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: this associate who's linked there. On July thirtieth, Hunter Biden. 623 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 2: Let's just read that famous text right that WhatsApp text, 624 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 2: I'm sitting here with my father and we would like 625 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. 626 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: Tell the director that I would like to resolve this 627 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 2: now before it gets out of hand, and now means 628 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: tonight and zee. If I get a call or a 629 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 2: text from anyone involved in this other than you, Jang 630 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: or the chairman, I will make certain that between the 631 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: man sitting next to me and every person knows and 632 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: my ability forever hold of grudge, that you will regret 633 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: not following my direction. I'm sitting here waiting for the 634 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 2: call with my father, and what happened after that? Hundreds 635 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 2: of thousands of dollars came into their account within days, 636 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 2: and the FBI stopped the investigation to see if Joe 637 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: Biden was, in fact, through GPS, was sitting next to 638 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden or in the same place on this date. 639 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: You put that together and you see what's happening now 640 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: with China and America. I think James Comber's onto something here, 641 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 2: and it seems like there's a lot more that's about 642 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: to come out on this. 643 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 3: Well, the evidence is getting worse and worse. We now 644 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 3: know that at least two hundred and forty thousand dollars 645 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 3: went straight to Joe Biden. Remember the Democrats were saying 646 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 3: over and over again, no direct evidence of Joe Biden's involvement. 647 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 3: This is all Hunter's corrupt. But Joe is innocent. Well, 648 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 3: two hundred and forty grand and he labels all these 649 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 3: checks loan repayment. There's no evidence as to what the 650 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: loans were. Was there was there alone That is on 651 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 3: its face, highly suspicious. We also know now that the 652 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 3: House that James Comer, the subpoenas have escalated. They're now 653 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: subpoenaing Hunter Biden. They're subpoenaing James Biden. They're subpoenaing the 654 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 3: inner circle of business associates around Joe Biden, among other things. 655 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 3: They also issued a subpoena to former White House counsel 656 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 3: Dana Remus to appear for a deposition concerning Biden's mishandling 657 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 3: of classified documents. This is ratcheting up, by the way. Also, 658 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 3: Special Counsel David Weiss admitted that he wasn't granted special 659 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 3: attorney authority in the Hunter Biden investigation, and even though 660 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 3: he asked for it. But then he said, well, he 661 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 3: didn't interpret that decision as a quote denial in any way, 662 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 3: shape or form, which is utterly incoherent. You ask for 663 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 3: can I have special attorneys authority? You're told no, and 664 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 3: then he says, well, but that wasn't a denial, what 665 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 3: else is it?
