1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 2: It is verdict of Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: There is obviously the big story of Donald Trump. He 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: has pled innocent to the charges against him. And if 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: you missed our last podcast, we went through the entire indictment. 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: Make sure you go back and listen to that episode 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: so you know what's happening with this indictment. But while 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: this story has taken over the headlines, there's a bigger 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: story that we are going to spend significant time on 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: in the show today and Senator this is one of 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: the most shocking stories to come out of Washington, DC 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: in a while, Senator Chuck Grassley revealing that a foreign 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: national allegedly bribed not Hunter Biden, but Joe Biden and 14 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 2: has audio recordings of it. 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: Yes, this is a big damn deal, and I'll tell 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 3: you today in the Capitol, I was arguing with reporters. 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: They were, of course obsessed. The only thing they wanted 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: to talk about was the in Trump indictment And to say, 19 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 3: isn't this horrible? Doesn't this show that he could never 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 3: possibly serve in any public office again? And I was 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 3: standing right outside the Senate floor arguing with the reporter saying, 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: why are none of you covering the bombshell allegations that 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 3: came out against the president of the United States. By 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: the way, Donald Trump is not currently the president of 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: the United States. No corporate reporter would acknowledge that there's 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: a guy named Joe Biden who is the president. And 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 3: last week we had number one a whistleblower come forward 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: and say that there was a confidential informant who told 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 3: the FBI that Joe Biden received a five million dollar 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 3: bribe personally from a senior executive in Barisma, the Ukrainian 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: natural gas company, in exchange for official conduct. That is 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: a massive bombshell. That is look we talked about in 33 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 3: Monday's pod and if you didn't listen to it, go 34 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: back and listen to it. We do a deep dive 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: into the Trump indictment. We talked about how the threshold 36 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 3: to indict a president should be incredibly high. It shouldn't 37 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: be for tick a tak offenses. It shouldn't be for 38 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: one administration going after their predecessor because they hate them. 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: It should be instead, very very high. Let me tell 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: you what clears that threshold, real serious, credible evidence of 41 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: a president of the United States taking bribes from foreign 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: nationals that clears the threshold by any measure. The Constitution 43 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: provides that impeachment show lie for bribery, treason, or other 44 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: high crimes and misdemeanors. So bribery is explicitly laid out 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: in the Constitution. And then two days ago Chuck Grassley 46 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: on the Senate floor made a stunning allegation. So Chuck 47 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: Grassley is the only Senator that I know of who 48 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: has read this FBI documenting what the confidential informant said. 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: And when the FBI gave it to the House representatives, 50 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: they redacted it. They erased key elements, and one of 51 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: the things they redacted was the allegation that there are 52 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: seventeen recordings demonstrating this primary this this bribery. Seventeen recordings, 53 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: fifteen of them with the Barismath official and Hunter Biden, 54 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: and two of them shockingly with the Bearismath official and 55 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. Now I don't know if this is true, 56 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: but if it is true, this should lead the six 57 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: o'clock news. And I want you to listen to Chuck 58 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: Grassley on the Senate floor laying this out. 59 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: The ten twenty three produced to the House Committees redacted 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 4: reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and 61 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 4: Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversation with 62 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: them seventeen such recordings. According to the ten twenty three, 63 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 4: the foreign national possesses fifteen audio recordings of phone calls 64 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 4: between him and Hunter Biden. According to the ten twenty three, 65 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls 66 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: between him and then Vice President Joe Biden. These recordings 67 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 4: were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for 68 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: the foreign national in case that he got into a 69 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 4: tight spot. The ten twenty three also indicates that then 70 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 4: Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in brougement 71 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 4: employing Hunter Biden sentaer. 72 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: You hear that, And this is tradecraft for these ola 73 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: gards and corrupt people, right. They want to blackmail. You 74 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: want to have something on you, whether you're an oigark, 75 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 2: a shady businessman, whether you're in Russia or China, Venezuela 76 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: or Ukraine. You want an insurance policy that if someone 77 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: comes after you, you've got leverage. Something that Jeffrey Epstein 78 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: apparently did incredibly well. 79 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: Is another example. 80 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: Of this type of leverage aka trade craft, And that's 81 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: what Chuck Grassley is saying here. 82 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: Yes, look, there's a whole lot of substance to unpack 83 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 3: from that statement on the Senate floor on Monday. Number one, 84 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: Chuck Grassley, to the best of my knowledge, is the 85 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: only senator who's read the FBI Form ten twenty three. 86 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: If there's another senator, he or she has not stated 87 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: that publicly. I have not read it. They will not 88 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 3: give it to me. 89 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: What is the reasoning behind that? Why can you not 90 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: see it? But Chuck Krassey can. So people understand the rules. 91 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: So let me let me delay that. We will get 92 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: to that, but let me delay that for second. The 93 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: House of Representatives heard about the ten twenty three. They 94 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 3: wanted to see the ten twenty three, and so James Comber, 95 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: who's the head of the Oversight Committee, issued a subpoena, 96 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: got the votes, he had a majority in the House. 97 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: He issued a subpoena, give us the ten twenty three 98 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: the FBI stonewall. They said, no, we won't give you 99 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: the ten twenty three. The House was on the verge 100 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: of holding Chris Ray, the director of the FBI, in 101 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: contempt Chris Ray blinked and said, okay, we'll give you 102 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: the ten twenty three, but we'll show it to you 103 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: in private. Initially he just showed it to James Comber 104 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 3: and Raskin, the chairman and ranking member of the Oversight Committee, 105 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 3: said no one else can see it. Comber came out 106 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 3: of that and said, the American people need to see this. 107 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 3: Chris Ray blinked again and said, okay, the entire committee 108 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 3: can see this. But what they saw was a redacted copy. 109 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: So the FBI, this is not a classified document. But 110 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: the FBI took and blacked out portions of the report 111 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: and said, you can't see the things were redacting. One 112 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: of the things they redacted was the allegation that there 113 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: are seventeen tape recordings. So the House didn't see that. Wow, 114 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: Now I got to ask you a question, Why the 115 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: hell is the FBI hiding the possible existence of evidence, 116 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: stone cold evidence of bribery against Joe Biden. Why did 117 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: they redact out the allegation that they're seventeen tape recordings. 118 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: That is an incredibly good question. And so Grassley was 119 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: in a unique situation where he had seen this. He 120 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: had a whistleblower. He saw this and he knew what 121 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: was in it. And I'll tell you it is not 122 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: an accident that Chuck Grassley did this on the Senate floor. 123 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: He didn't go on Fox News, he didn't go on 124 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: a TV interview. Why because look, he reviewed this ten 125 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: twenty three in a restricted circumstance. There may well be 126 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: people who argue the reason why the FBI is trying 127 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: to put all these restrictions on it. It's not classified, 128 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 3: mind you, so all the laws concerning classified information don't apply. 129 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: But the FBI is still trying to put restrictions on 130 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: it because they don't want anyone to know. And so 131 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: the reason I believe Chuck, who's a good friend. I've 132 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: served with him eleven years, Chuck went to the Senate 133 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 3: floor as the Constitution gives an immunity from any liability 134 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: for anything said in speech and debate for a senator 135 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 3: or representative, and so saying it on the Senate floor, 136 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: I think Chuck Grassley did that a for attention, but 137 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: b for legal protection, because these guys are so vicious 138 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 3: and politicized that there's a chance they could try to 139 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: go after him for daring to repeat the truth. 140 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: So saying it in the hall he could be held, 141 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: he could get in trouble with this, this rogue DOOJ. 142 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: If he set in the hall walk. 143 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: Potentially DOJ would lose, but there would be potentially more 144 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: exposure by doing it on the Senate floor. It is 145 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: unquestionably covered in the speech and debate privilege of the Constitution, 146 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: which gave him a greater ability to say I know 147 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: this to be true. It'd be clear. What does Grassley know. 148 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: He doesn't know that there are seventeen recordings there might 149 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: not be. What he knows is that a confidential informant 150 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: who the FBI had relied on previously investigations made an 151 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: allegation that there are seventeen recordings fifteen of Hunter Biden 152 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: and a corrupt Briisma official, two of Joe Biden and 153 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: a corrupt Barisma official, all concerning bribing Joe Biden personally. 154 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 3: And so Chuck Grassley read that in the FBI formed 155 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 3: ten twenty three, and he said it on the on 156 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: the Senate floor. And I want to ask you, look 157 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: across the country, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, 158 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: of listeners to this podcast today. I want you to 159 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: ask yourself, something did you see on the news last 160 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 3: night Chuck Grassley's allegation that there are tape recordings of 161 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 3: Joe Biden taking a five million dollar bribe? Did you 162 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: see it in the newspaper? Was it the headline today? 163 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: Think about what city you live, in your local newspaper, 164 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 3: what was the headline on the front page. Was it 165 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: tape recordings of evidence that the President Joe Biden took 166 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: bribes from Ukrainian corrupt official.

It 208 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: was on Section seven oh two searches. It's part of 209 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: the tools that the FBI law enforcement has to target 210 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: for nationals. And by the way, there is significant evidence 211 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: that the FBI and dj has abused their tools to 212 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 3: target four nationals, to surveil US citizens, and in particular 213 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 3: to target January sixth, and it is deeply concerning their 214 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 3: abuse of power. So the hearing was important. But given 215 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 3: that this was the day after Chuck Grassley had stood 216 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: up on the Senate floor and told the world that 217 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 3: there were allegedly these seventeen recordings, I said, listen, I've 218 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 3: got the deputy director of the FBI. I'm going to 219 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: ask him about this. He didn't want to answer this, 220 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: but he's here, he's under oath. He started this by 221 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 3: standing up raising his right hand and taking an oath 222 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but 223 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: the truth. So help me God, and so I took 224 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 3: the opportunity to ask him about the ten twenty three 225 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: and about the recordings. Give a listen, gentlemen. Every day 226 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: when I'm home in Texas, I hear from Texans who 227 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: are deeply dismayed about the growing politicization and weaponization of 228 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice and the FBI. If you are not, 229 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: every one of you should be deeply concerned about the 230 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: damage being done to the integrity of the institutions in 231 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: which you operate. My office hear is regularly from FBI 232 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: agents and from assistant US attorneys who are likewise concerned 233 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: about the politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice 234 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: and the FBI. And this is profoundly damaging to the 235 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: rule of law in our nation. Last month, a whistleblower 236 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: brought to life the existence in the FBI of a 237 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: report at FD ten twenty three in which the informant 238 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 3: alleges that President Biden and his family members and aged 239 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 3: in a five million dollar bribery scheme during his time 240 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: as Vice president. Deputy Director of Body is it true 241 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 3: that the FBI has a report making those allegations. 242 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 5: I'm not going to comment on that, Center, and why 243 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 5: is that. I'm just not going to comment on information 244 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 5: we received. Investigations. 245 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: You own obligation to the American people to be candid 246 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: about evidence of corruption by the president of the United States. 247 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 5: This is an area that I'm not going to get 248 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 5: into with you. Center. 249 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 3: Well, I understand you don't want to, and that's why 250 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 3: people are mad at the FBI, because you're stonewalling and 251 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: covering up serious allegations of evidence of corruption from the president. Yesterday, 252 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: Senator Chuck Grassley stood on the Senate floor and alleged 253 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,359 Speaker 3: that there are seventeen recordings of this informant from Barisma, 254 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 3: Ukrainian natural Gas company. Fifteen of them are recordings voice 255 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: recordings of him talking to Hunter Biden. Two of them 256 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 3: are voice records of him talking to Joe Biden, deputy 257 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: director of BAT. Does the FBI have seventeen voice recordings 258 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: laying out evidence of a bribery scheme? 259 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 5: Centerted, I'd add all I would add also that we've 260 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 5: worked with the House Oversight Committee. 261 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the Senate where the other side of 262 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: the Capitol. This is the Senate. Do you have those 263 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: seventeen recordings. 264 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 5: I'm not going to comment on any investigative matter. Centator. 265 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: See, that's the problem the FBI. And I've had this 266 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: conversation with Chris Ray too. This is why you are 267 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 3: damaging the institution. The American people have a right to 268 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 3: know whether there is serious, credible evidence that the President 269 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: of the United States took a five million dollar bribe. 270 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: And by the way, if it's false, Chairman Durbin just 271 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: rolled his eyes. If Chairman Durbin were interested in the 272 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: rule of law, we would have a hearing on these allegations. 273 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: But of course the Democrats don't want a hearing on 274 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: these allegations. And to be clear, if the allegations are false, 275 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: you know who could disprove them. Joe Biden. He could 276 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: call for this to be released publicly. But the FBI 277 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 3: is stonewalling. 278 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: They are stonewalling, and you have sentators like Durban rolling 279 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: their eyes. Even the President was asked about this today 280 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: at the White House and he stopped, turned and basically 281 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 2: laughed in the face of American senator. 282 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: He literally laughed. 283 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: There was a reporter that was kind of shouting it 284 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 2: out at him about Hey, these recordings, he stopped those tracks, 285 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: turned around, laughed at the reporter. But in many ways 286 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: it's like he's laughing at the American people at the 287 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: same time. 288 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. And the reason Joe Biden can 289 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 3: do this, the reason the FBI can do this is 290 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: because we don't have a functioning press score. The world 291 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 3: of journalism is so utterly corrupted that nobody's reporting on this. 292 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 3: Why didn't you see this on the six o'clock news. 293 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: And let's be clear what I asked about it's not classified, 294 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: But the deputy director of the FBI just said, I'm 295 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: not going to tell you no reason my answers, just no. 296 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: And to be clear, listen, when I'm asking questions, it's 297 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 3: not just because, gosh, I'd like to know. I'm elected 298 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 3: by thirty million Texans. I've got a responsibility. When I'm 299 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: in a hearing, I am doing my damned best to 300 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 3: represent thirty million Texans and ask the questions they want 301 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 3: to ask. And I'll tell you I'm hearing from the 302 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: people of Texas what the heck is going on with 303 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 3: the FBI? And this FBI deputy director just smugly saying 304 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tell you because I said no, because no, Look, 305 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 3: he is not a fourth grade teacher, and we are 306 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 3: not the children in his class. The FBI works for we, 307 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: the people, and they owe an obligation of candor. They 308 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 3: have evidence that Joe Biden, the President of the United States, 309 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: took a bribe, and maybe maybe the evidence is not compelling, 310 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 3: maybe it doesn't prove this. But if it's not compelling, 311 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: they ought to release it yesterday. And if it is compelling, 312 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 3: then you know what the FBI is doing. They're engaged 313 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: in a cover up every bit as much as the 314 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: co conspirators involved in the bribery. You don't get to 315 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 3: cover up if you've got seventeen audio tapes showing the 316 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: president took a bribe and you bury them and say 317 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 3: to Congress, I'm not going to tell you the answer 318 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: to that piss off. That was basically his answer, and 319 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: let me clarify something. Look, sometimes when I'm home or online, 320 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 3: people will say, well, damn it, Cruise, do something about it, 321 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 3: and I sort of laugh at them and like, Okay, 322 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 3: are you confused about how our constitution operates? So I 323 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: can't indict anyone under a Constitution. Only the executive branch 324 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 3: can indict. That would be Joe Biden, that would be 325 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland, that would be the US Department of Justice. 326 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: I also can issue a subpoena. I would love to 327 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 3: issue a subpoena. But in the Senate, to issue a subpoena, 328 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 3: it takes a majority, and tragically, the Democrats have the 329 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 3: majority in the Senate. Chuck Schumer is the majority leader. 330 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: Dick Durbin is the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Dick 331 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 3: Durbin has he literally, as I was talking and you 332 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 3: heard me call it out, he rolled his eyes. He 333 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: doesn't care if you asked Dick Durbin. And by the way, 334 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: I asked reporters today and said, have any of you 335 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 3: asked a single Democrat senator if there's conclusive evidence that 336 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: Joe Biden took a five million dollar bribe from a 337 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 3: foreign national, should he be impeached and removed from office? 338 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: By the way, the answer to that is hell, yes, 339 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: it's the only answer. But no reporter will ask any 340 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 3: Democrat that question. And so without the majority, I can't 341 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 3: issue a subpoena. I can't indict any one. All I 342 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 3: can do is what I'm doing right now, ask in 343 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 3: a hearing, shine a light on it, and then, by 344 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: the way, go on verdict and tell a million people 345 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 3: across America about it and try to ratchet up the attention. 346 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 3: I hope the House wilicious subpoenas there is a majority 347 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: in the House. I'm working very closely with James Comer 348 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 3: and Jim Jordan, but we have got to demand accountability 349 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 3: and transparency on this serious, serious allegation of a major 350 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: crime by Joe Biden. 351 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 2: That's part of what you said in your follow up 352 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: question to him, which I want to play.

You're not answering a single question to 427 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 3: the American people. And you may think this as esoteric, 428 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: I promise you millions of Americans are concerned. You know 429 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: who isn't concerned? Not a single Senate Democrat. We're going 430 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 3: to go through this whole hearing, not one Democrat will 431 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 3: ask a question about this. You know who else isn't concerned? 432 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: The corporate media, who is joining with the Democrats in 433 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 3: covering up this evidence. If Joe Biden is innocent, the 434 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 3: evidence should be made public and demonstrate that he's innocent. 435 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 3: But if he is not, is it true this informant 436 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 3: who alleged that he personally took a bribe was an 437 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 3: informant the FBI had relied upon previously in other investigations. 438 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 3: Yes or no? 439 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 5: In each and every investigation that we have, all the 440 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 5: work that we do. 441 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: I asked, the expectation is. 442 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 5: That every logical avenue avenue investigation people. 443 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: I asked you, yes or no? Question? Are you going 444 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 3: to answer it? 445 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 5: I'm answering your question. 446 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 3: Was the informant one you had relied on previously and 447 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 3: other investigations? Yes or no? 448 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 5: Senator, we run down every piece of information. 449 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 3: You're not answering it, then you refuse so you're refusing 450 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: to answer. 451 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 5: The question the fullest extent possible, refusing answer that's small instances, disperitable. 452 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 3: It's disgraceful, Deputy Director about a disgraceful senator. 453 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: I mean, there's obviously the surface level here of why 454 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: he's not answering this, but in reality, deep down, why 455 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 2: has he so hell bent on not answering this basic 456 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: question about do these tapes exists? Is it because he 457 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: doesn't know, or because he doesn't want you to know, 458 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 2: or he doesn't want the American people to know? Is 459 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 2: this part of the cover up so that the American 460 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: people don't know how corrupt? Is this part of the 461 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: protecting of the President of the United States of America 462 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: and all the corruption that they've already helped him cover up. 463 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: Remember they're the same ones that when the laptop came 464 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 2: in they wanted to call it disinformation and it wasn't 465 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: They knew it was real. They wanted when Tony Babolenski 466 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 2: went to the FBI, it was because he went on 467 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: TV that they finally said down with him, and then 468 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 2: afterwards not a single person contacted him. 469 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 3: So he absolutely knows the answer to these questions. He's 470 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 3: refusing to answer. And to be clear, there's no legal prohibition. 471 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 3: This is not classified information, this is not privileged information, 472 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 3: this is not attorney client information. There's no legal prohibition 473 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 3: on his answering the questions. The problem is, fundamentally, it's 474 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 3: what I said. The FBI right now has this hubris, 475 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: it's this absolute arrogance. It's the same thing the DJ has. 476 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: It's the same thing Merrick Garland has. That Their view 477 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: is we are unaccountable. We're the f B friggin' eye 478 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: like whatever. We say. We're in charge, and we decide 479 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 3: what to investigate, we decide who to go after, we 480 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 3: decide who to show up at the crack of dawn 481 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 3: with twenty jack booted thugs with machine guns, and who 482 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 3: not to And you don't get to question us. Congress 483 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 3: does get to question us. The American people don't get 484 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: to question us. We are in charge. And look you 485 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 3: heard in his questioning he just said I asked him. 486 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 3: He said, I'm not gonna answer that. Why because I 487 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 3: don't want to answer that, and nobody's gonna make me 488 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: answer that in the Senate. Sadly that's true. Dick Durbin 489 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 3: doesn't care. It's actually worse, Dick Durbin wants him not 490 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 3: to answer this. Dick Durbin and the Senate Democrats would 491 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 3: be horrified if he answered this. Why because they're complicit 492 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 3: in the cover up of Joe Biden. And I want 493 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 3: to underscore something. I don't know if these allegations are true. 494 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: They might be false. Listen, Ukraine has a lot of 495 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 3: corruption in it. Maybe, and Barisma has had a lot 496 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 3: of corruption in it. Maybe the allegation that there was 497 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: a five million dollar bribe pay to Joe Biden is 498 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 3: totally made up. It might be misinformation. If it is. 499 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: Joe Biden presumably knows that, and he would have an 500 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 3: incentive to say, let's disprove it. He's not doing that. 501 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 3: And the alternative, why does the FBI feel completely at 502 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: liberty to say, piss off American people, we don't work 503 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 3: for you, and we will not answer your questions. That's 504 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 3: what the FBI said. And I got to say, look, Ben, 505 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 3: you can tell from that exchange, I was pissed. And 506 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: I was pissed because it is so destructive to the 507 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 3: integrity of the FBI and DOJ, and it's destructive to 508 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 3: the rule of law and the Constitution in the United States. 509 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: What will happen with this? Do you think and will 510 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: we be able to get will the House be able 511 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: to get these tapes if they do exist. If these 512 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 2: recordings do exist, will we ever see them? Or as 513 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: long as the Democrats have control of the Senate in 514 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: the White House, is this going to be blocked off 515 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: because the FBI gets say, guess what, you Republicans have 516 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: only got one house. You don't have both, and you 517 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 2: don't have the White House, so we're going to get 518 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: away with this. 519 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: So it's not clear if we'll ever get to see 520 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 3: these What should happen? This whistleblower should testify in front 521 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: of Congress on national television for the America people to 522 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: hear his allegations to assess is he telling the truth 523 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: or not? What should happen These seventeen tape recordings, fifteen 524 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 3: with Hunter Biden, two with Joe Biden should be released 525 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 3: to the public. They should be played nationally. You should 526 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 3: be able to listen to him and determine maybe Joe 527 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: Biden's innocent or maybe as guilty as hell and took 528 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: a five million dollar bribe, which is what the confidential 529 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: informant alleges in exchange for government policy. And if he 530 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 3: did that, he should be impeached, he should be removed 531 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: from office, he should be prosecuted, and he should go 532 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 3: to jail. We talked about the Trump indictment. There should 533 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 3: be an exceptionally high threshold for indicting or prosecuting a 534 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 3: president or former president. I'll tell you what definitely clears 535 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 3: that threshold. A president or former president taking bribes from 536 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 3: a foreign national of millions of dollars in exchange for 537 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 3: corrupt government official descis decisions. The Constitution explicitly says impeachment 538 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: lies for bribery. We ought to push for this, and 539 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 3: you ask what's next. To be honest, let me say 540 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 3: to everyone listening to this podcast, Frankly, it's in your hands. 541 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: I'm standing on a mountaintop. I'm screaming, pointing a light 542 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 3: at this. I'm shining a light on this. I'm highlighting 543 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 3: it to the American people tonight. Will it be on 544 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 3: the six o'clock news. No, because the corporate media is corrupt, 545 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 3: which means we've got a million people that listen to 546 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 3: this podcast. Ben those million people, every one of you 547 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 3: need to go on Facebook, You need to go on Twitter. 548 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 3: You need to go on whatever social media you have 549 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: and you just speak out. Every one of you need 550 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 3: to pick up your phone and call your house member 551 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 3: and your senator and say, we want an investigation. We 552 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 3: want to read the ten twenty three, we want to 553 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 3: hear the seventeen recordings. The only thing that might change 554 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 3: this because I cannot. I do not have the ability. 555 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 3: I don't know I have the legal authority right now 556 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 3: to indict anyone. I don't have the authority to issue 557 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 3: subpoena to anyone. The only thing that can change this 558 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 3: is you and pressure from the American people. That's why 559 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 3: we're doing this podcast and why we're focused directly on 560 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 3: this issue. 561 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that you mentioned Grassly and doing 562 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: this this way a couple of nights before he went 563 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: on the for of the Senate to say what he said, 564 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: he also said something that that echoes what you're saying 565 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 2: about the FBI, and I want to play that and 566 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: get your reaction.

It's interesting to know what 592 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 2: he was going to say a few days later now 593 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 2: in retrospect, kind of reading between the lines, But he 594 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: had this to say on Fox just a couple of 595 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 2: days before he went to the for the Senate. 596 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 5: Do you feel like the Department of Justice and the 597 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 5: FBI are playing games? 598 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 599 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 6: First of all, I want to compliment congsmn Comer because 600 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 6: he's been very helpful with working me on this issue, 601 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 6: and we wouldn't be where we are with the FBI 602 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 6: if he hadn't been involved. 603 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 7: So let me answer your question this way. We have 604 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 7: an unclassified document. We have what the FBI calls a 605 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 7: credible source because they've paid this person over years six figures, 606 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 7: and I've got a reputation for protecting whistle boars, and 607 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 7: we're going to keep going until we get this document. 608 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 7: But yes, I believe the FBI is covering for President Biden. 609 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 7: And the information that's in this is from a credible source, 610 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 7: from credible whistleblowers, people that are protected by the whistleblower 611 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 7: Protection Law, and we've just got to get to the 612 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 7: bottom of it, and we're not going to give up 613 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 7: until we get this document. 614 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: I love the way he describes us. 615 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: He says, Look, the FBI is a threat to Congress 616 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: and a threat to Americans. They treat him like second 617 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 2: class citizens. Is part of what he's saying there, and 618 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: that's spot on based on what you said as well. 619 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 3: No, that's exactly right. They believe institutionally that they don't 620 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 3: report to anyone. And listen, part of the genius of 621 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 3: our framers, of the founding fathers to drafted the Constitution 622 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 3: is they created a system of checks and balances. James 623 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 3: Madison wrote Federalist ten about the checks and balances, about 624 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 3: pitting different factions against each other, and the idea was, 625 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 3: if you have an executive if who is overreaching, you'll 626 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 3: have a Congress who will check them. You have a 627 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 3: congress is overreaching, you have a judiciary who will check them. 628 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 3: If you have a judiciary is overreaching, you'll have a 629 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 3: Congress or an executive who'll check them. And each of 630 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 3: the three branches will be a check on the other. 631 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 3: What has happened with the FBI is they've gotten to 632 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 3: use a drug dealer phrase. High on their own supply. 633 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 3: They believe nobody can check them, that they are the judge, jury, 634 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 3: and execution. They decide what's acceptable, They decide what's not. 635 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 3: They decide if they hate Donald Trump, and they will 636 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 3: target and persecute them and go after him with everything 637 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 3: they've got. They decide if they like Joe Biden, and 638 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 3: they'll cover up and hide an off ye skate and 639 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 3: bury evidence of corruption of Joe Biden. And because they 640 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 3: believe they're the final arbitra, when anyone asks them about it, 641 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 3: their answer is, no, we're not going to tell you. 642 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 3: We don't have to tell you, we don't care to 643 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 3: tell you, we don't want to tell you. So no, 644 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 3: Senate Democrats are perfectly willing to let the FBI tell 645 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 3: the Senate go jump in a lake that they are 646 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 3: so Why because they're so partisan. They don't want anyone 647 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 3: to know about the evidence about Joe Biden. They want 648 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 3: every question from every reporter to be Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, 649 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 3: All about the damn boxes of documents in the bathroom. Well, 650 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 3: you know what, boxes a document in the bathroom are 651 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 3: no worse than boxes of documents in an unlocked garage 652 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 3: next to a classic corvette, which Joe Biden had. But 653 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 3: they're also both orders of magnitude less concerning than credible 654 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 3: evidence that the President of the United States took a 655 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 3: bribe from a foreign national, and I got to say, 656 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 3: FBI leadership, every step they're taking the stonewall is exactly 657 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 3: as I said at the end of that exchange. Disgraceful. 658 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. Make sure that you share 659 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 2: this podcast on social media.
