1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: Another day and no indictment of Donald Trump. The grand 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: jury was told to go home on Thursday or not 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: show up on Thursday, and they may not even be 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: meeting again until next week. We also know that people 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: are waiting for this watching, We know the media is there. 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: We know that they're still barricades up. We also been 7 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: told that Bragg has formally quote unquote refused to cooperate 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: with congressional investigation into him. Now, I'm gonna give you 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: that background real quick, and then i'm gonna move on 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden because we have some big breaking news 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden. Plus we also are going to be 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: joined by your Senator Bill Haggarty to give us an 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: update on what's happening with China and Russia. There are 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: three very big stories today, So let's we'll get through 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: this one with Trump, and then I'm gonna move on 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: this massive news on Hunter Biden. The Manhattan District Attorney 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg has quote formally refused to cooperate with a 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: House Republicans congressional investigation into unprecedented abuse of authority against 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump, upon the expectation the former president 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: would be arrested this week. In connection with Bragg's investigation. 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Bragg denied quote providing testimony and documents to the top 22 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: House Republican leadership due to an unprecedented inquiry into a 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: pending quote local prosecution, he replied officially to the Republicans today. Now, 24 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: on Monday, the Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, the Oversight 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: Committee Chairman James Comer, and Administrative Committee Chairman Brian Steele, 26 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: all Republicans, demanded Bragg comply with the committee's requests for 27 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: the documents and testimony in anticipation of the possible indictment. 28 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: The anticipation was generated after Trump announced on Saturday that 29 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: he expected to be arrested in the coming days based 30 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: on illegal leaks from the Manhattan District Attorney's office, which 31 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: is investigating Trump's alleged role and hush money paid to 32 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels. Now, this is also backed up by just 33 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: being able to read the tea leaves right. New York 34 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: City has put all these police officers on uniform duty, 35 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: mandates everybody to be ready. They're also barricading around Trump Tower. 36 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: They're barricading at the courthouse where Donald Trump would be arranged. 37 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: So it's not crazy to think that this was going 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: to happen this week. There's some of the media that 39 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: are trying to say, oh, Donald Trump didn't get didn't 40 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: get arrested on Tuesday, like he said, So he's lying 41 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: about all this, right, he's making it up. I've seen 42 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: some reports on that If that was true, then you 43 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't have the barricades showing up. You wouldn't have this, 44 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, this District Attorney Bragg not convening right for 45 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: multiple days in a row, the grand jury, and you 46 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have the NYPD preparing for this. You also wouldn't 47 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: have Washington d C preparing and protecting in case Donald 48 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: Trump is indicted this week. Everything points to our government 49 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: and those around Bragg right pointing to an indictment. So 50 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: the idea that Donald Trump was crazy and just made 51 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: this story up, which is what some of the media 52 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: have now been pushing, is absurd. The barricades and everything 53 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: happening with our government from DC to New York is 54 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: proof they knew this was coming this week. Now if 55 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: they delayed it or people got to brag and try 56 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: to push Bragg to not indict Donald Trump, and that's 57 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: why they have not met the grand jury for the 58 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: last several days that could be part of it. Democrats 59 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: have been putting extreme pressure on Bragg this week to 60 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: not make this mistake. Now, this anticipation that the media 61 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: is now trying to say was maybe a Trump lie 62 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: made up all along again, fight back with that it's absurd. 63 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: The government wouldn't be reacting the way they are if 64 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: they didn't have insider information about what was about to 65 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: come down. Now, the letter only came just so you know, 66 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: to brag after Donald Trump created a false expectation that 67 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: he would be arrested the next day and his lawyer 68 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: reportedly urged you to intervene. Bragg replied to Republicans again, 69 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: he's now making things up. Neither fact is a legitimate 70 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: basis quote for a congressional inquiry. If that is true again, 71 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: this coming from the District Attorney of New York Bragg 72 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: and in emailing or responding to Jim Jordan, to James Comer, etc. 73 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: Claiming this is all Trump's fault, Then why is it 74 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: that everybody around you is preparing for a clear indictment? 75 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: Now the discal attorney is quote obliged by the federal 76 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: and state constitution to protect the independence of state law 77 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: enforcement functions from federal interference. He also went on to add, 78 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: now Bragg's response also comes to the Republicans of Ray's 79 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: concerning questions about Bragg's investigation. Was the Manhattan DA's office 80 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: in communication is one of the questions with adj about 81 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: their investigation of President Trump. Jim Jordan asked that question 82 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: a very important one. Was the Manhattan DA's office using 83 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: federal funds to investigate President Trump? Also a very important question. 84 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: I think we should hear from Alvin Braggs testimony before Congress. 85 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any problem with that under oath 86 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: is what the Republican said about his vision and the 87 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: fact that this is widely political and just that we 88 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: are wanting to know what he is doing. Right, Was 89 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: this not pursued by federal courts and the fact that 90 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice passed on this? Was that brought 91 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: up again another question that's being asked of Alan Bragg, 92 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: A normal question that should be asked of him. Now, 93 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: many legal experts, as we've covered on this show, including Democrats, 94 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: have said that they think this is an extremely difficult 95 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: and stretching to try to indict Donald Trump for what 96 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: they're trying to indict him for all. Right, before I 97 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: get into that, I want to talk to you real 98 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: quick about our friends over at Patriot Mobile.

Jonathan Turley, who 118 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George 119 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Washington University, said, quote, the case is legally pathetic. It's 120 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: extremely difficult to show that paying money to cover up 121 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: an embarrassing affair was done for election purposes, as opposed 122 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: to an array of obvious other reasons, including protecting a 123 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: celebrity's reputation, also including preserving a marriage. So the idea 124 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: that they can claim now that they knew the full 125 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: intent of Donald Trump when this money was paid, or 126 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen who says that he paid this money without 127 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump even knowing about it, that's another part of 128 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: this case. And Michael Cohen is clearly someone that has 129 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: an ax to grind with a former president. Right. This 130 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: is a guy that's been to jail. That's a guy 131 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: you can't trust as a guy that has broken laws. 132 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: In my opinion, he is not a credible witness. And 133 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: this apparently is the government's main witness is Michael Cohen, 134 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: who has an axe to grind with Donald Trump. He 135 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: has been on TV hour after hour after hour, day 136 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: after day, ripping on Donald Trump. It's obvious that he's 137 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: angry and he wants to bring down Trump. And that's 138 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: your star witness. Now, I guess that works in New 139 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: York City. But it doesn't mean that Alan Bragg should 140 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: be able to get away with this, and it doesn't 141 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: mean that you should be able to arrest a former 142 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: president of the United States of America. The way that 143 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: they are talking about it right now, this is a 144 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: disaster for the Democrats now having the grand jury. Should 145 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: you read into this that they for two days have 146 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,479 Speaker 1: been said have been told don't come in when apparently 147 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: they were going to call some other witnesses. I don't 148 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: know what it means. I think Alan Bragg is taking 149 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: a lot of heat from a lot of Democrats. Do 150 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: I think he's in so deep that he may feel 151 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: like I have to charge Donald Trump even if I lose, 152 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: just so I don't look like I back down. There's 153 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: a ance of that. But then there's also the other 154 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: part of this, and that's just the political aspect of it. 155 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: If you're Alan Bragg, is there a downside if you're 156 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: running for governor of doing this and overcharging Donald Trump. 157 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, because there's a lot of people that 158 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: are going to look at you as they're weird, messed 159 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: up hero. Okay, there's gonna be a lot of people 160 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: that are gonna look at you and go, hell yeah, Alan, 161 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: I'll support you for trying to lock up Donald Trump. Now, 162 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Alan Bragg's not trying to run for president. He is 163 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: apparently trying to run for the governor of New York. 164 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: New York is a hard core liberal city. So this idea, 165 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: Alan is ultimately asked to decide do I pick up 166 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: enough supporters in New York because that's all that matters 167 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: to him or New York City, even if the rest 168 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party is telling me, don't do it, right, 169 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: don't do it. There is money to be made off 170 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: of hating Donald Trump. If you don't believe me, ask 171 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: Adam Kinsinger. There are people that have gotten contracts just 172 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: off of hating on Donald Trump. Hell, asked Michael Cohen. 173 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: He is a darling of the left. Look at the 174 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: chick that worked for Trump, who's now the quote fake 175 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: conservative on the view who made money off of this? 176 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: Why did she get that job because she started ripping 177 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: on Donald Trump or former Boss. I want to move 178 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: on to another important issue, and I mentioned this earlier. 179 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: It deals with Hunter Biden. We are now being told 180 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden used an FBI mole an insider named 181 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: one Eye to tip him off to the China probes. 182 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: A new tipster has revealed this after many people have 183 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: been obsessing with good reason over who is the unnamed 184 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: Biden that was taking money from the Chinese Communist Party. 185 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: We know the Biden crime family, expect expanded with Howie 186 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: Biden taking money from the Chinese, but there was one 187 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: Biden who was unnamed. Who is that person? A lot 188 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: of people have been guessing, saying it's got to be 189 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. That money was going directly to Joe Biden. 190 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: Miranda Divine, who was the author of Laptop from Hell, 191 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: broke some news when she went on Fox Business and 192 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: said this about who the other Biden is that was 193 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: taking payments for the Chinese Communist parties. Well, companies, take 194 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: a listen, and I heard you earlier. House Republicans have 195 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: only had subpoena power for two months and we already 196 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: know four immediate members of the Biden family have received money. 197 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: Hunter Jim Haley, and one unnamed Biden. It's astonishing. Who's 198 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: the fourth unnamed Biden? Is the question? So far? Hi Dagon, Look, 199 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: I think everyone wants that fourth person to be Joe Biden, 200 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: but I don't know. But I would very much doubt 201 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: that it is, because Joe Biden has been doing this 202 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: sort of influence peddling scheme for four decades out of Delaware. 203 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: He's very practiced at it. As his brother Jim Biden 204 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: told Tony bob Lynsky, it's all about plausible deniability. So 205 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: I doubt that there's any direct payment to Joe Biden 206 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: that is going to be uncovered so easily. But it 207 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: will be some other obviously, some other family member whose 208 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,239 Speaker 1: surname is Biden. It's really extraordinary that the bank accepted 209 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: this wire with just one name, just one name. It 210 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: is extraordinary. But if you're a Biden bank and you 211 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: know it's going to Biden, are you going to start 212 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: asking a lot of questions? No, you just fill out 213 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: that suspicious activity report and you wait for nothing to 214 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: happen so that you covered or as as the bank. Now, 215 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: now we also know that Hunter Biden apparently had an 216 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: FBI mold mole named one eye who tipped off his 217 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Chinese business partners that they were under investigation. Let me 218 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: say that again. They didn't just tip off Biden. They 219 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: tipped off Biden's okay business partners that they were under investigation. 220 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: This is your deep state working against you. That according 221 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: to an Israeli energy expert who was arrested in Cyprus 222 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: last month on gun running charges. The House Oversight Committee 223 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: that is investigating the explosive claim by a doctor Galloft, 224 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: a former Israeli Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence 225 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: ties in Washington and Beijing, who says he was arrested 226 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: to stop him from revealing what he knew about the 227 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: Biden family and the FBI corruption. He said details he 228 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: told the Department of Justice, he says, back in twenty nineteen, 229 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: and they say that he was ignored. Love to his 230 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: fifty six first made the claims on February the eighteenth 231 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: on Twitter after being detained at a Cypress airport as 232 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: he prepared to board a plane to Israel, saying, I've 233 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request 234 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: by the US. The US is claiming I'm an arms dealer. 235 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: It would be funny if I weren't, if it weren't tragic. 236 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: I've never been an arms dealer. The DOJ is trying 237 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: to bury me to protect Joe, Jim Hunt, and Hunter Biden. 238 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: The tweet went on to say this is shocking by 239 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: the way Luff remains in jail awaiting extradition to the 240 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: US over what he says are trumped up charges of 241 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: arms trafficking to China and Libya and violations of the 242 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: Foreign Agents Registration Act. Through his American lawyer, Love said 243 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: he tried four years ago to inform the DOJ the 244 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: Chinese state controlled energy company CEFE had paid one hundred 245 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: thousand a month to President Biden's son Hunter and sixty 246 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: five thousand to Joe's brother Jim in exchange for their 247 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: FBI connections and use of the Biden name to protect 248 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: China's Belt and Road initiatives around the world. Luff learned 249 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: about the scheme through his ownership with huntered Chinese business 250 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: partner Patrick Hoe and Ye, the chairman of ce FE 251 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: WOW from two thousand and fifteen to two thou eighteen, 252 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Left organized international energy conferences in partnership with Hoe and 253 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: host think tank, the nonprofit China Energy Fund Committee known 254 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: as ce CEFE USA, a front organization for CEFE.

One Eye told 259 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: Ye that the Southern District of New York was investigating 260 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: him and or Hoe in late twenty seventeen, and that 261 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: an Asian, an African, and a Jewish guy were named 262 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: on a sealed indictment. Soon after that tip off, Ye 263 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: offered Hunter a million dollars to be his private council 264 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: and flew to China, leaving his wife, daughter, son, mother, 265 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: and nanny in his fifty million dollars penthouse at fifteen 266 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: Central Park West.

Prosecutors 276 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: place a spotlight in his case on China's use of 277 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: foreign bribery to win contracts for its Belt and Road initiative. 278 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: Hunter was paid a million dollars by CEFE to represent Hoe, 279 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: which entered which entailed contacting his FBI sources on Hoe's 280 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: behalf and engaging another attorney to do the legal work. 281 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: According to emails on Hunter Biden's laptop, all of this 282 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: checks out now.

In less than four 297 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: weeks later, Joe Biden announced he was running for president. 298 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: The DJ had this information, this whistle blower, who's now 299 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: been detained in Cyprus. He said, the DJ had this 300 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: information in March twenty nineteen and did nothing. He said 301 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: this week from Israel, where he was fighting Luff's extradition. 302 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: Congress has the Biden bank records, but it doesn't know 303 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: the reasons for the payments. Now it does, the information 304 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: that the whistle blower, door doctor Luff, gave the DJ 305 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: four years ago is the missing link for the reason 306 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: behind the China Biden money transfers. Clearly, this is explosive stuff, 307 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote. We also know they's been speaking with Congressional investigators. 308 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer confirmed to the Post.

In Israel, his attorney was 313 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: quote in the Jerusalem Post saying Luf's arrest was a 314 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: good way to shut him up because he knows a 315 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: lot of information on Hunter Biden. The US Congress only 316 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: recently began to investigate Hunter's case and Gal's testimony with 317 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: will Barry Hunter Biden, they said, even more so, his 318 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: testimony will shift the attention towards the president himself, quote unquote. 319 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: I expect more of this story to break over the 320 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: next couple of days and responses probably from the Biden 321 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: crime family.

I want 350 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: to start first off, though, with what's been happening in 351 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: the banking world. Let's start first with Silicon Valley Bank, 352 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: the collapse, this bailout. Let's start with was this avoidable? 353 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: And the administration is trying to spend this as it's 354 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: not a bailout. You have Janet Yellen saying we're going 355 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: to bail out other banks if they fail, but that 356 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: contradicts what they said about this bank. I look at 357 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: their deposits. We find out that about only ten percent 358 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: of all the money that was in Silicon Valley Bank 359 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: was actually covered by FDIC, meaning they had deposits well 360 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 1: above a quarter of a million dollars, and that is 361 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: not healthy. Regulators are supposed to regulate that stuff, and 362 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: they apparently just didn't care because this was the perfect, 363 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: woke Silicon Valley bank that can do whatever the hell 364 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: they want to and they knew, I think they knew 365 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: that America would bail them out. Well, you ask about failures, 366 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: they're failures at three on this, and let's start at 367 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: the beginning. The first failure was the management team itself 368 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: a Silicon Valley Bank. Then if you think about it, 369 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: they let the chief risk officer positions stay open for 370 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: eight months leading up to the collapse. I don't know 371 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: what they were doing with their time. They're talking about 372 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: a five billion dollar green energy fund, you know, they're 373 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: talking about meeting their diversity, equity and inclusion goals. But 374 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: they weren't paying attention to the liquidity of the bank. 375 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,239 Speaker 1: So a massive failure on the part of management. They 376 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: will pay the price for this. They're out of a 377 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: job right now, and I think that they need to 378 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: be held to account. But the next step is who 379 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: was responsible for overseeing this bank? The San Francisco Fed. 380 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: Where were they? If you think about it, there were 381 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: stock analysts in Wall Street talking about the problems that 382 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: manifested themselves on the balance sheet of Silicon Valley Bank, 383 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: the liquidity problem, the mismatch of maturities as early as 384 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: last ball. Yet the San Francisco Fed did nothing. They 385 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: were getting monthly, monthly detailed lookdity reports that would have 386 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: shown them that this problem in terms of having you know, 387 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: far too many long dated securities at low low interest 388 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: rates at Silicon Valley Bank evidently just gorged itself on 389 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: as their deposits were ramping up during it during the pandemic. 390 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: They should have known that this was a problem. They 391 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: didn't do their job. And then the final failure happened 392 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: over the weekend when the FDIC shut it down. They 393 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: failed the auction. The right answer would have been on 394 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: Monday morning for them to announced here's the new buyer. Uh, 395 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: you know, we've taken some sort of haircut on this 396 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: particular bank, but there's a new you know, a new 397 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: buyer in charge. We haven't manifested this out and spread 398 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: the risk over the entirety of the banking community in America, 399 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: but we've we've contained it with one bank. They ran 400 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: an auction, they mismanaged it. They told me that they 401 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: had a buyer, but a bitter i should say, but 402 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: for some reason they couldn't close the deal. We got 403 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of that too, because now 404 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: where we are is completely unchartered waters. Where you've got 405 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, the Federal Reserve, and you've got the Treasury, 406 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: and you've got the FDIC, you know, all of them 407 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: giving sort of mixed message. But at the end of 408 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: the day, we got to ask ourselves, are all deposits 409 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: in America now completely insured? Yeah. Well, and then there's 410 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: this question if they if this is the new answer 411 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: that if you are a bank that takes risks based 412 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: on political ideology and wokeness, which is what this bank 413 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: was doing. They gave a millions and millions of dollars 414 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: in donations to Democrats. They gave millions and millions of 415 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: dollars in donations to things like Black Lives Matter and 416 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: green and woke ideology. They basically were buying an insurance 417 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: policy by doing that to ensure all of their deposits. 418 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: They were gambling with this bank the entire time. Hey, 419 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: we're we picked the right horses here, We picked the 420 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: right ideology to get a bail out if we need it. 421 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: And that's what they got. And the American people are 422 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: on the hook for this bill out, even if the 423 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: Democrats continue to stare you in the face and lie 424 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: to you. And it brings it reminds me so much, 425 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: Senator of fts FTX is this was that that cryptocurrency 426 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: exchange for people that may not remember, it went belly 427 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: up right after three days after the elections, and the 428 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: ft the FTX owner CEO the Sam Bankman Freed was 429 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: the number two donor to the Democratic Party. He was 430 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: a mega donor. The only person that beat him h 431 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: was one guy who's even, you know, even more extreme 432 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: and more liberal than he was. But he clearly was 433 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: getting favors and not having to worry about regulations until 434 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: three days after election the mid terms, they took his money, 435 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: they cast his check Senator, and they knew that he 436 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: was running what I would refer to as a Ponzi scheme. 437 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: The signs were also there. Yeah, the difference between FTX 438 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: and the situation was Silicon Valley Bank is that FTX 439 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: was operating out of the Bahamas. It wasn't a US 440 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: regulate identity, so we didn't have any regulatory oversight there. 441 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: That's why I've been arguing that we need to put 442 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: regulations in place for cryptocurrencies. The Democrats want to fight 443 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: that too, But with respect to what happened to Silicon 444 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: Valley Bank, you hit the nail on the head. And 445 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,719 Speaker 1: what they've done is it looks terrible. The dozen members 446 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: of that board all well healed Biden donors by the way, 447 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: as I understand it, but only one of them had 448 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: any sort of relevant experience at all. It seems to 449 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: me that their experience must be who you socialize with, 450 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: and you know how walked you might be able to 451 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: present yourself in public. That is not a good sign, 452 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: a good message to send to America. Because we're sitting 453 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, guy community bankers calling me right, left and center, 454 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: saying would I be covered? Would I be covered if 455 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: if we somehow mismanagement bank and we had to run 456 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: on it? Or is this something that only works if 457 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: you're in New York City or if you are in California. 458 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: Is it a blue state? Is it a two tiered phenomena, 459 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: just like we see in our justice system, a two 460 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: tiered system of justice depending on your political views, or 461 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: is it a two tiered banking system here where you'll 462 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: be covered if you align yourself with the right sort 463 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: of leftist ideology. It's a real, real concern and we've 464 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: got to clean this up. Well, let me ask you 465 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: one other question about the banks just for a second, 466 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: and then I want to move on to payments going 467 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: to the Biden crime family from China. But when you 468 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: look at the bank and the deposits, there's no doubt 469 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: that this was a run on the bank. The amount 470 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: of money that was pulled out was an incredible amount 471 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: of money from Silicon Valley Bank. But somebody had to 472 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: have made a bunch of money on this shortingness bank. 473 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: And is there going to be any investigation of who 474 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: got rich during those final days and hours that may 475 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: have shorted that bank knowing that this bank was in 476 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: a bad position and made a hell of a lot 477 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: of cash off of it. Because I don't think that 478 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: this happened organically. I think some people knew what were 479 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: what was about to go down. That certainly could be 480 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: the case. Again, the SEC will have that information, and 481 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: I think you know some of the troubles we've had 482 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: with the leadership at the SEC again prioritizing woke agenda 483 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: over doing their job. The SEC is imposing all types 484 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: of rules, proposing to force companies to report climate information 485 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: that they couldn't possibly obtain, just so that they can 486 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: have everybody in a football situation and come in andto 487 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: as they please. So you've got a financial set of 488 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: financial regulators here that are trying to contort the system 489 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: to achieve political objectives rather than doing their job. And 490 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: we've just seen it manifest itself in this entire discussion 491 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: where the San Francisco FED failed where the FDIC failed, 492 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: and we'll see if the SEC does its job, but 493 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm not optimistic giving their fast behavior. Well, last question 494 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: this is because you mentioned a moment ago regional banks 495 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that are concerned about 496 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: their money right now just because of how fast has 497 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: happened and went down. Are you confident that regional banks, 498 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: mom and pop banks are still in good financial order 499 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: in Tennessee? Is that there are any issues there? Are 500 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: you worried that there could be more run on banks 501 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: because of what happened with this bank. I certainly was 502 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: alarmed the weekend that this all began to fall apart 503 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: with Silicon Vallet Bank. As soon as they put him 504 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: into receivership, I started reaching out and talking to bankers 505 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: in Tennessee. The good news is we've got a very 506 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: stable banking system in Tennessee. Commissioner Greg Gonzalez does a 507 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: terrific job in Tennessee. I think he's the best banking 508 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: commissioner in the nation. And Greg reached out us. When 509 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: I spoke with him two days ago, he'd already talked 510 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: with ninety six of the one hundred and eleven community 511 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: banks that we have in Tennessee. They have seen no 512 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: evidence of a run whatsoever. He said, frankly, some of 513 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: them are seeing more money coming in, perhaps coming out 514 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: of California, New York. I'm not sure the source of that, 515 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: but they've actually seen more deposits coming in. It's a 516 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: legitimate concern. I have not seen it manifest itself. And 517 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: to help sort of calm calm the minds of a 518 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: lot of people who may be listening right now, the 519 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: FED put in place a massive lending of that allows 520 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: any bank that has these long dated securities at low 521 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: interest rates to go in and borrow against those securities 522 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: at their full face value, so they don't have to 523 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: discount them and sell them immediately. They can borrow a 524 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: hunderstands on the dollar. If they do have a depositor 525 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: that's coming and asking for their money out, they can 526 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: easily fix that so they easily address it's that's a facility. 527 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: That was a bridge that basically was aimed directly at 528 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: the problem that you're raising, and that is working. You 529 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago that you have concerns over at 530 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: the FED and the lack of transparency recently with these 531 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,239 Speaker 1: suspicious activity reports that the Treasury Department was supposed to 532 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: make available to you guys. Traditionally, throughout the history suspicious 533 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: activity reports, there was availability to see those, no matter 534 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: which side the value are on. They changed that during 535 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: the Biden years out of nowhere, really shocked people. Clearly 536 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: they knew they need to hide these suspicious activity reports 537 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: and the American people were involved at Joe Biden. We 538 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: now have some of those, and we're seeing millions of 539 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: dollars that was going into the bank accounts the Biden 540 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: crime family and expanding the Biden crime family and the 541 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: players involved to people like Halle Biden and others, and 542 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: there's still one that's unknown. We also know there's apparently 543 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: from what James commerce on the house side, up to 544 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: eleven more deals that we're going to find out about 545 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: where there was a significant amount of money coming in 546 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: from China to the Biden crime family. Based on what 547 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: you've seen center so far, how concerning are you concerned? 548 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: Are you that this president is clearly compromised by China? 549 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: And I say that because the other day you had 550 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: China and Russia meeting and our response in this White 551 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: House was to have Ted Lasso's the TV show actors 552 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: come in and do a press conference where they were 553 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: yucking it up on the day that you had two 554 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: superpowers meeting and doing a deal, working on a deal 555 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: that is a clear threat to national security of this 556 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: country and the security in the world. Well, it's it's 557 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: a deep, deep concern and it has been from the 558 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: very beginning. If the Hunter Biden laptop story had not 559 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: been suppressed, you know, the New York Post tried to 560 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: break this, and you know this is massive election interference 561 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: again that's gone unanswered when you know you had the 562 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: major tech companies suppressed the story. The American public should 563 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: have known about this compromise situation or the potential for 564 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: it then, and it was suppressed. It's coming out now 565 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: in dribs and drabs. But it's deeply concerning to see 566 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: the extent of the involvement of the Biden family with 567 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: the CCP or CCP related entities. You know, this is 568 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: influence pedaling at a major scale. And I think you 569 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: ask yourself, why is it that we have to be 570 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: consistently weak on China? Why can't we speak up? We 571 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: certainly you are more than happy to attack any conservative 572 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: in America, but heaven forbid that we criticized China and 573 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: in the element. So it's a real concern that needs 574 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: to be addressed here. And with respect to the deal 575 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 1: that was struck between ad mcputtin and Shijiping, I actually 576 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: had our Secretary of the Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln 577 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: in front of me yesterday twice, and at one point 578 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: I put up that image you've seen it on television 579 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: of the two men shaking hand, Shijiping Lad mcputin shaking hand, 580 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: and I asked him, I said, is this good for 581 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: our national security? Absolutely not. What's happening is you've got 582 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: two unlikely villains, I would say, pulling together in an 583 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 1: access I'd also add Ran to that. I'd also add 584 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: North Korea that they're getting back together. And this is 585 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: bad for America to see these adversaries aligning in the 586 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: way that they are. They're doing this to counter America, 587 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: to counter our allies, and we've got to step up 588 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: and demonstrate strength so our allies don't begin to get 589 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: worried that America is not going to be there, and 590 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: right now we're not where we need to be. It 591 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: was very telling to see China go to Russia and 592 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: we know that Russia needs China's technology, and we know 593 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: that China needs Russia is energy. And this unnatural alliance, 594 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, is probably the scariest alliance of 595 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: my lifetime, more than the acts of evil after nine 596 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: to eleven that so many were concerned about from a 597 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: nuclear standpoint, But you're now talking about technology that Russia 598 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: desperately needs coming in from China that could change their 599 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: country very quickly, specifically this war with Ukraine. Did Blincoln 600 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: seem concerned about that to you when you were questioning him, 601 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: he definitely had a look of concern on his face. 602 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: I just think the problem is, how does he answer 603 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: that question? Because what we have is an America that's 604 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: checking out of areas around the world. You know, you 605 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: have a situation where China literally brokers a deal between 606 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: the Saudis and the Iranians. The Saudis and the Iranians 607 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: have been mortal enemies. That is an unnatural act as well. 608 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: When I asked Lincoln, what did China do? What did 609 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: China promise them to induce that sort of agreement, He 610 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: didn't have an answer to it. But it certainly doesn't 611 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: look good when America, who has been in the Middle East, 612 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: who's been the source of stability in the Middle East 613 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: for years, is stepping back. They're empowering Iran, who is 614 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: the enemy of everyone else there is certainly the immortal 615 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: enemy of our ally Israel. We're stepping away, leaving Israel vulnerable, 616 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: and we're allowing the Iranians in the Saudis to come 617 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: together under China's influence. I mean, this is a terrible 618 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: diplomatic footpath. It's a mistake that should have never happened, 619 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: and we've got to stop this. As well. As always 620 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: a big thank you to Senator Haggarty if keeping us 621 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: updated on what he's doing in Washington, DC makes you 622 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: share a podcast your family and friends. As soon as 623 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: we get word on what's going to happen, I will 624 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: break in and let you know, so don't miss it. 625 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: Hit that subscriber auto DOWLO button and I will see 626 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: you back here tomorrow, if not earlier.
