1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Impeachment is a word now that doesn't mean what it

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: used to mean, at least in this country. The word

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: impeachment used to actually mean something. Democrats have destroyed it

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: by the way that they went after Donald Trump with

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: impeachment now once but twice. Now it's a political play.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: It's no longer about are you actually breaking laws or

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: undermined the country you're supposed to be protecting and representing.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Impeachment has now been tainted, and so it is a

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: idea that when people hear it, they kind of just

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: rolled their eyes.

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: I think they rolled their eyes.

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: Because I think they realized how ridiculous it is that

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: what happened the last time. And look, there were people

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: that were in favor of the impeachment last time. To

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: be clear, right, there were people that were completely in

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: favor of impeachment, and it was because they wanted to

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: take out Donald Trump politically. They knew Donald Trump wasn't

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: colluding with the Russians. They knew that that report was

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: paid for and created out of thin air by the

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: Democrat They know that Hillary Clinton was one of the

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,279
Speaker 1: ones funding the Steele dossier. They knew that the FBI

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: knew that the Steele dossier was alied. They knew that

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: they couldn't corroborate that he couldn't corroborate the stories within

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: the Stele dossier. In fact, the FBI offered him I

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: think it was over a million dollars to substantiate the

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: claims of the dossier, and he couldn't do it. So

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: that should tell you an awful lot about it as well. Right,

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: he couldn't even do that. Now, why couldn't he do that?

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Why why could he not do that? Because he made

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: it up. Democrats made it up. They all lied, They

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: all knew what they were doing. They were lying the

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: entire time. The problem now is when people here impeachment,

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people go to their left, they go

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: to the right, and it turns into a political moment.

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: They say, Okay, I'm going to my team here. You

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: guys on the other side, y'all are just abusing power,

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: y'all are idiots, or you're just trying to take out

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: your political opponent. That's why I say Republicans have to

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: be very careful because this could backfire and actually solidify

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: support that is wavering for Joe Biden. People are starting

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: to cover the story of Joe Biden. They are okay,

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: people are starting to realize and understand it. But if

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: you turn it into a partisan issue by going through

44
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: impeachment too early, then it can backfire on you on

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: a very, very big way. I'll give you an example

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: of why I say this, because I want to be clear.

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of impeaching Joe Biden because I think there's

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: evidence to impeach him. I want to be careful and

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: win and how and where we do it. Look at

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: what happens every single time they indict Donald Trump. The

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: charges are absurd, right, we know that, but they keep

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: doing it. And why they keep doing it. Democrats believe

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: that that Donald Trump is the easiest person to beat

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: in the general election. So they're going to keep indicting him,

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: win and wherever they can, regardless of the facts, because

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: they believe.

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: It guarantees him the primary.

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: And what happens when they go after Donald Trump, the

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: base rallies behind him. The exact same thing will happen

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: if we go for impeaching Hunter Biden or excuse me,

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden over Hunter Biden and Biden corruption. The same

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: exact thing's going to happen. The same exact thing is

63
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: going to happen, and other Republicans have gone on the

64
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: record now as saying that there is a clear plan

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: to launch an impeachment inquiry into Biden this month, meaning September. Now,

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: three separate GOP led committees have investigated allegations that Hunter

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Biden leveraged his father's official government positions to secure foreign

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: business deals. The open question for Republican lawmakers is whether

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: President Biden ever personally benefited from his son's deals or

70
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: abused the power of his office to influence them in

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: any way. McCarthy said last month impeachment inquiry would only

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: happen with a formal House vote. McCarthy said at the time,

73
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: quote to open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter,

74
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be

76
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 1: heard on this matter through their elected representatives, McCarthy said

77
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: in an interview with Breitbart. He then went on to

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: say that's why if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry,

79
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: it would occur through a vote on the four of

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: the House and not through a declaration by one person.

81
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: That means, in translation, that two hundred and eighteen lawmakers

82
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: will need to support an impeachment inquiry against Biden, and

83
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: it is not at all certain House Republicans have the

84
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: votes to do it. Several GOP lawmakers, including Representative Ken Buck,

85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: a Republican from Colorado, and Representative Don Bacon, a Republican

86
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: from Nebraska, have both voiced skepticism about impeachment. Even Somehow's

87
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: conservatives who support impeachment have complained about the timing. Representative

88
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Dan bishop As, a Republican from North Carolina, said to

89
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Fox News last week that it appeared McCarthy was quote

90
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: dangling the issue to avoid a confrontation over spending ahead

91
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: of the next deadline to fund the government. Now, the

92
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: House Freedom Caucus and other conservative groups have urged McCarthy

93
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: to force a deeper spending cut, deeper spending cuts in general,

94
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: and to attach GOP priorities to any short term or

95
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: long term spending deal that would keep the government open

96
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: that's unlikely by the way, to get through the Senate

97
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: or the White House and to get a signature for approval.

98
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: They view the last debt limit deal as a betrayal

99
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: because it did not significantly curtail government spending. This is

100
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: part of how why it was so hard for Ken

101
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: McCarthy to get the Speaker's job, because many Republicans said

102
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing enough to stop out of control government spending.

103
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Representative Chip Roy, a friend of mine from Texas, warn

104
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: GOP leaders earlier this month this hiding quote behind impeachment

105
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to screw America with status quo massive funding will not

106
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: end well. In other words, he's saying, don't try to

107
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: show me a nice shiny object in this hand while

108
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: you're screwing me in the other hand.

109
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: And look at what Chip Roy.

110
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: By the way, he has a lot of people in

111
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus and a lot of conservatives around him.

112
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Look at the words he chose. He wasn't messing around.

113
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it again, hiding behind impeachment to screw

114
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: America with status quo massive funding will not end well.

115
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: In other words, if you think you can give us

116
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: impeach will shut up on government spending, your wrong. If

117
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: you think you can trade out of control government spending

118
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: for an impeachment inquiry or a vote on impeachment, you're wrong.

119
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: Now there's a narrow house majority, Republicans can only afford

120
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: to lose five votes from their conference in an impeachment

121
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: inquiry vote. To be clear, I would already say that

122
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: they've lost three, possibly four, just based on the quotes

123
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: that I gave you a moment ago from Republicans who

124
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: are on the record, and those Republicans that I mentioned

125
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: are from states where impeachment probably won't play well with

126
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: the voters.

127
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: Colorado is a great example. It's a more liberal state.

128
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: At the same time as all this is going on,

129
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: impeachment hardliners right like Representative Matt Gates have also threatened

130
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: to attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy if the House does

131
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: not follow three with impeachment vote, something he says he

132
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: will pay off on the Speaker of the House. Kevin

133
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: McCarthy's office has not responded to requests for comment. Why

134
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: because they clearly wanted to leak this out and see

135
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: how it was going to play out after.

136
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: They leaked it.

137
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: That's what they're clearly trying to do, which makes sense. Actually,

138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: now Republicans have to be careful here that they don't

139
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: screw this up, because the American people right now seem

140
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: to be coming around to the idea in the polls

141
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: that the President is clearly corrupt and compromised. If you

142
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: move too soon towards impeachment, you can screw the whole

143
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: thing up. You can screw it up big time. If

144
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: you go too quickly, you can screw all of this up.

145
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what was said by David Brooks.

146
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: He was on PBS News Hour. David Brook's not a

147
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: hardcore conservative, but he had this to say about the

148
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden story and that Hunter was selling influence and

149
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: influence pedaling on his dad's name. He even said, as

150
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: a liberal on PBS quote, I underestimated the Hunter's story.

151
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: This week, though, we learned federal prosecutors will be moving

152
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: ahead with an indictment against Hunter Biden, was likely related

153
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: to gun charges expected by the end of the month. David,

154
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: as you well know, those questions around Hunter Biden continue

155
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: to fuel Republicans' threats to impeach President Biden. Is this

156
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: becoming a liability for the president?

157
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 4: Well, it's certainly a liability, you know, it sort of

158
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 4: feeds into the narrative. He's part of the Washington establishment.

159
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: Everybody's self dealing, so that's a liability. The gun charge,

160
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: you know, he was a sick man Frankly who had

161
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 4: some drug issues, and the gun charge to me is

162
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: an ancillary issue. To me. I want to know he

163
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 4: was clearly trying to pedal influence. Did he successfully pedal influence?

164
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: Was any any law change that Joe Biden's policies changed

165
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: to Joe Biden said any of those meetings. I kind

166
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: of doubt it on all counts, But I do think

167
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 4: now I've sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story. I

168
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: think it's probably worth a look to see if there

169
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 4: was actual influence peddling. But for the Republicans talk about impeachment,

170
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: you gotta have a crime, like you got to have

171
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: some accusation you can make, and they don't really have

172
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: anything right now. It's worth looking into, but they're way

173
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 4: premature and talking about impeachment.

174
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: Jonathan, What do you make of that? Is Is it

175
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: worth a look by both the Department of Justice and

176
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: House Republicans as they say they want to do.

177
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 5: Well, It's worth a look by the Department of Justice

178
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: because they're already looking, and with a special counsel having

179
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 5: already been appointed, there apparently is a reason to look.

180
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: But the one thing I want folks to remember and

181
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 5: to always remember, and that is the legal predicament surrounding

182
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 5: Hunter Biden, the son of the president. It is nowhere

183
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 5: near and it is not the same as what is

184
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 5: facing the former president twice impeached, four times, indicted on

185
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 5: ninety one counts in four different jurisdictions. I mean, they're Republicans,

186
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 5: especially congressional Republicans, have been spending a lot of time

187
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 5: trying to focus attention on Hunter Biden and the quote

188
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: unquote weaponization of the Justice Department because of what is

189
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 5: happening to Donald Trump.

190
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: By the way, I wanted you to hear the response

191
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: there because you need to understand what Democrats are gonna do.

192
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: You hear this shocking moment from Brooks of honesty. I

193
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: underestimated the Hunter Biden's story. Hunter was trying to pedal

194
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: influence and then immediately they go back to well, but

195
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: it's nothing compared to what Donald Trump did. You heard

196
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: it right there, attack dog, get on there, bring it

197
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: go all in, yell, scream, rant, rave, talk about you

198
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: don't understand how bad it is for the bid for

199
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: the Trumps. This is nothing compared to what you guys

200
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: are looking at. This is nothing compared to what's going

201
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: on right now with Donald J.

202
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: Trump. That's their argument.

203
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: That's their response, Well, you think we're bad, you've got indictments.

204
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: We don't.

205
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: I will say this a different way. Republicans have to

206
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: be very careful that if we do this, we do

207
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: it the right way, because the media is going to

208
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: turn on it quickly. The media is going to turn

209
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: on this thing so freaking fast, and they're going to

210
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: turn this into a partisan issue so quick. And if

211
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: we are just now getting people around the idea that

212
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: there's corruption, the American people, I don't think are to

213
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: the point of impeachment yet. They're just now finding out

214
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: about the basics of this, folks, And we have to

215
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: be very careful that we don't give them a gift

216
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: by this becoming a partisan issue, so then they don't

217
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: have to listen and understand just how corrupt the Biden

218
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: crime family actually is. That is my concern, and I

219
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: think you can understand why, because what's the point of

220
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: doing this if we're not going to make it effective

221
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: and if it backfires on us, what's the point of

222
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: doing it?

223
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: Now?

224
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: There's also other issues at play here that we should

225
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: talk about and we should use to our advantage.

226
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: We'll give you an example.

227
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: On nine to eleven, it was leaked President Joe Biden

228
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: has now bowed down to Iran and we are going

229
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: to pay them six billion dollars for five Americans in

230
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: exchange for five Iranian prisoners. Then, on top of that,

231
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: the President and the White House are now claiming that

232
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: the six billion dollars for five Americans in exchange for

233
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: five Iranian prisoners. So we're we're not just giving them

234
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: a prisoner shop here, We're giving them six billion dollars.

235
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: The White House claims, Oh, don't worry. The money will

236
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, So you don't

237
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: have to worry if you believe that you're an idiot.

238
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: This is Iran.

239
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Iran killed more American soldiers, was responsible for killing more

240
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: American soldiers than any other country when we were in

241
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: Afghanistan Iraq. How do I know that Because they were

242
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: the ones that were giving safe harbor to terrorists and

243
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: save passage of terrorists that were coming in to kill us.

244
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: They were also the number one maker of the roadside

245
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: bombs that were blowing up American soldiers. They are a

246
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,479
Speaker 1: state sponsor of terrorism. And when America got to Afghanistan.

247
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: When America got to Iraq, Iran went full force into

248
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: war to kill American soldiers. And now the Biden administration

249
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: has reproved a deal with Iran to pay the rogue

250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: regimes six billion in exchange for five detained American citizens.

251
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: The deal, according to the Associated Press, entailed the Biden

252
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: administration issuing a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer

253
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: six billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to

254
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Qatar without US sanctions. He would then be held in

255
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: Guitar Central Bank for RAND to use, reportedly for the

256
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: purchase of humanitarian goods.

257
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: That's a joke.

258
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: In addition, the Biden administration agreed to release five Iranian

259
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: cistens held in the US. So not only we give

260
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: them six billion, we're giving them five Iranian ciszens. I'm

261
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: assuming you're involved in some sort of terrorism. I'm having

262
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: more on that story coming up in a moment. Why

263
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: would you do that, by the way, on nine to eleven,

264
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's anything that they would teach you

265
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: in politics one oh one, it's like, Hey, if you're

266
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: going to release some terrorists, don't do it on the

267
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: anniversary of nine to eleven, especially when it's like Iran,

268
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: and yet here we are having this conversation where the

269
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: President is going to transfer six million, six billion dollars.

270
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: According to the Associated Press, the Secretary of State Anthony

271
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Blincoln signed off on the deal late last week, but

272
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: Congress was not known of the deal until Monday, which

273
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: was nine eleven, the twenty second anniversary of the US

274
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: suffering terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists. And that's the day

275
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: we tell them. Oh, by the way, we're sending six

276
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: billion dollars to Iran, who was killing American soldiers. The

277
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: deal appears to go against the US policy by the way,

278
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: of not paying countries to release American prisoners. Right, this

279
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: is ransom money so as not to incentivize the behavior

280
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: of capturing Americans. According to report, the transfer of the

281
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: six billion was the critical element in the prisoner swap deal.

282
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: The six billion. So we're giving them humans, and we're

283
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: giving them six billion, more than a billion a person.

284
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: Some European nations reportedly balked at participating in the transfer.

285
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: By the way, but don't worry, then, Joe Biden, the

286
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: big guy and his administration's blanket waiver was aimed at

287
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: easing their concerns. The AP notes this morning. The waiver

288
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: is likely to draw criticism a President Joe Biden from

289
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: Republicans and others that the deal will boost the Iranian

290
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: economy at a time when Iran poses a growing threat

291
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: to US troops and Mid East allies. It's also a

292
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: part here where it's just in competency, and the amount

293
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: of incompetency here makes me angry. There is no way, okay,

294
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: at all, there's no way that you can guarantee that

295
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: the six billion dollars is going to be used for

296
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: humanitarian reasons. Like that's not possible, okay, Like that's not

297
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: something that's possible. Iran can funnel the six billion out

298
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: of Katar and claim it's for humanitarian things. They can

299
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: do that, but I promise you this, they're going to

300
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: use it for whatever the hell they want to. The

301
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: other part of this is when was the last time

302
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: Iran was known for doing anything in a humanitarian fashion?

303
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Did? Did?

304
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: And again, this is a question that would have been

305
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: asked the meeting, But of course they they're not asking

306
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: that question because they already know they they already know

307
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: that that's not going to happen. So it's it's it's

308
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: part of the lie, right because if you were having

309
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: a normal administration meeting, someone has been like, hey, when

310
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: was the last time that Iran ever did anything on

311
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: a on a humanitarian basis? Like when when did that?

312
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: When did that happen? And the answer to you, they don't, right, like, like,

313
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: that's not what they do. That's not how any of

314
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: this works. It's not how this that's not how they

315
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: do any of this. So instead, we're giving six billion

316
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to a terrorist organization that's going to use six billion

317
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: to kill people, claiming the money is going to be

318
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: used for humanitarian reasons, while also giving up these five

319
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: different Iranians that we have in our custody in the

320
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: United States America. I'm still trying to find out more

321
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: about these Iranians. We don't know anything about them yet

322
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: because the White House seems to be keeping that very quiet. Now,

323
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: if you just do a quick step back on the

324
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: anniversary nine to eleven, let's be clear. Now you have

325
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: a president that bowed to Iran on nine to eleven.

326
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: You have a president that paid six billion to and

327
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: gave up five Iranian prisoners in an exchange for five

328
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Americans with a country that clearly is a rogue nation

329
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: that sponsors terrorism, has killed American soldiers. They Iran is

330
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: responsible for more limbs lost on Americans in Iraq and

331
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Afghanian than any other country because of their bombs that

332
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: they that they allowed to be made in their country

333
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: and they gave to the terrorists. They gave save Hayesan

334
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: to Isis and al Qaida. And then you combine with

335
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Biden breaking a twenty two year tradition. He spent nine

336
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: to eleven not at White House or the site of

337
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: this attack. Right, they said it's just time to move on.

338
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: That was their logic here. Yeah, President Biden was taking

339
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: fire from some families of nine to eleven victims for

340
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: being the first president twenty two years to not spend

341
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: nine to eleven in an attack site or at the

342
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: White House. According to the new report, the family slammed

343
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: Biden for spending nine to eleven in quote Alaska, but

344
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: just part of the day where he is following up

345
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: on a trip to India and Vietnam discussed climate change.

346
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: He then tacked on Alaska, claiming he was doing something there. Now,

347
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Biden did do one thing. He visited the memorial of

348
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: his friend, the late Senner John McCain and Vietnam. On Monday,

349
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: he kissed the memorial, telling reporters traveling with him that

350
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: it was important that he visited the site, as McCain

351
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: was a quote good friend.

352
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: That, by the way, is not connected to nine to eleven.

353
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: But I guess they thought, oh, that's good enough, right,

354
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: we'll check that box so that you can't criticize him.

355
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: One of the victims said, if our leader is so

356
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: willing to not show up to the memorial service, it's

357
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: showing the message that Americans have forgotten and then it's

358
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: okay to forget. Unfortunately, for myself and for all other

359
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: families and those joining with us this morning, we have

360
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: no way of forgetting. This is something that forever changed

361
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: our lives, and this is something that we're going to

362
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: live with forever, even if the rest of the country

363
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: can let this be a day they do forget. White

364
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary Jean Pierre said at a press conference

365
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: three days ago about nine to eleven. She said, quote

366
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven, Look, the President is going to

367
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: mark the anniversary of September the eleventh, the Texas Year

368
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: in Alaska as you just mentioned with service members and

369
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: their families, and as he does every year, as he's

370
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: done this every year, he plans to honor the lives

371
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: lost in the families and loved ones who will fill

372
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: the pain of the terrible day. This is something he

373
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: feels is very important to do. We can only imagine

374
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: the heartbreak and the pain that the nine eleven families

375
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: have felt every day for the past twenty two years.

376
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: John Pierre concluded, saying this, So I know the families

377
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: have have certainly been on this on the mind recently

378
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: in recent days, and they will continue to be to

379
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: be on the mind as we approach the anniversary, as

380
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, is coming up Monday. In other words, asker,

381
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: you guys, here's your lip service. We're too busy working

382
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: a deal with a Ran right now now. So far

383
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: we have not been able to figure out exactly what

384
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: the deal is. We don't know, okay, we don't know

385
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: what the deal is and who these Iranians are that

386
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: we're giving back. And the reason why we don't know

387
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: is because I'm sure they don't want us to know

388
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: who it is. They're terrified of who these Iranians are

389
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: and that it's going to get out before we hurry

390
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: up and do the deal and move on. But telling

391
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: Congress on the anniversary nine to eleven, God help us,

392
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: and I mean that sincerely when I say that God

393
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: help us. This is a president of the United States of America,

394
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: and I would argue this deal with Iran is nothing

395
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: more than just being compromised. This is straight up a

396
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: president that I think is compromised in a way that

397
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: people can't even imagine. There's no logical reason to do

398
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: this deal. There's no logical reason to give six billion

399
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: dollars to a terrorist organization because Iran is a terrorist organization.

400
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: You can't tell me they're not. The facts back it up.

401
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: The facts clearly show that they are a terrorist organization,

402
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: and we're going to do that on the anniversary of

403
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. So let me go back to what

404
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: I was saying a moment ago about impeachment. The American

405
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: people seem to be turning on Joe Biden on their own.

406
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: We have to be careful that we don't stop that

407
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: momentum by pushing for impeachment, which we do not have

408
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: the votes for, by the way, in the Senate. That's

409
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: something that we need to really talk about we need

410
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: to be very strategic about when we start this impeachment

411
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: inquiry because it will galvanize the left and there will

412
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: be people that are not actually right now standing and

413
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: supporting Joe Biden that will then immediately go and stand

414
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: and support Joe Biden. That's part of what people need

415
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: to understand. I worry that if we move this too quickly,

416
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: if we go too fast, that we're going to get

417
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: ourselves in a situation where this will be one of

418
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: the biggest backfires we've ever seen, and that this will

419
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: galvanize the left. It will make them stand up for

420
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It will make them say to Joe o'biden, hey,

421
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: we're going to We're going to really defend you because

422
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: these Republicans instead of us listening to the crimes that

423
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: the Biden crime family has committed. I also understand the

424
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: votes and if we don't have the votes, and the

425
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: other question is this worth it to do this now?

426
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: While the presence prover ratings are an all time low,

427
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: this story is starting to finally.

428
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: Get to people.

429
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: You look at the CNN poll that came out. I'll

430
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: go back to what CNN said on their own TV

431
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: about this. Here's how they put it. The majority believe

432
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: Biden putting thumb on the scale of the Hunter probe.

433
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: And when you look here about President Biden now serving

434
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: as president, his actions in the Hunter Biden probe have

435
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 6: they been appropriate or not? Fifty five percent of Americans,

436
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 6: a majority, believe Biden's actions related to the Hunter Biden

437
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: probe inappropriate. Twenty four percent of Democrats again, a majority

438
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 6: of Independence fifty two percent, and nearly all Republicans at

439
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 6: nine percent believe that. And this is to show what

440
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 6: happens when you don't push back at all, which is

441
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 6: really basically what the White House has been doing. There's

442
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 6: not been a Hunter Biden defense kind of mounted in

443
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 6: a public relations way, and it's starting to seep through

444
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 6: beyond just the right wing echo chamber.

445
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: We're seeing it's starting to seep through. Well, if you

446
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: start impeachment, what do you think is going to happen?

447
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and

448
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: your friends, and I will see you back here tomorrow
