1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 2: you on this Monday. It's really nice to have you 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 2: with a senator. You and I had a very fun weekend, 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: which we're going to talk about a little bit later 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: hopefully this week and get people behind the curtains on that. 7 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 2: That's the teas for everybody, So you're going to want 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: to stick around for late this week. But we've got 9 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 2: some breaking news that deals with two different articles that 10 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: have come out, one of them in Politico and the 11 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: other with the New York Times that have come out 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: to talk about Hunter Biden's legal team and the handling 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 2: of not only their emails but also the handling by 14 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: the DOJ basically saying we don't want to touch this, 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: we don't want to prosecute, and only because whistleblowers have 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: come out is their narrative change break all this down 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: for people because it's shocking. 18 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: Well, these two news stories are both astonishing, and they're 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 3: based on the leak of two hundred pages of emails 20 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: and communications between the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden's 21 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: legal team, and it turns out that the sweetheart deal 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: we all know about where DOJ went in and tried 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 3: to give Hunter Biden a slap on the wrist where 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: he pleads guilty to two misdemeanors and gets no jail 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 3: time and magically gets off with everything. That wasn't actually 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 3: where DOJ started. And I don't know who leaked these correspondences, 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 3: and they leaked them. One story is in Politico, the 28 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: others in New York Times, and they're both based on 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: the on the same set of correspondents. DOJ initially planned 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: to charge Hunter Biden with nothing, not bring a single charge, 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: not a tax charge, not a gun charge. By the way, 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 3: it was Hunter Biden was unquestionably guilty. Nobody disputed it was. 33 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: He was guilty that he hadn't paid millions of dollars 34 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: in taxes. There was no dispute about that. That he 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: owned a gun illegally, it is illegal for a crack 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: user to own a gun. There was no dispute about that. 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: That he lied on the form, and he said he 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: didn't do illegal drugs when in fact he was regularly 39 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: smoking crack cocaine. There's no dispute about that. So it 40 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: was he was indisputably guilty. And yet DOJ's initial position was, 41 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 3: we're going to charge you with nothing. Instead, what they 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 3: were going to bring was a deferred prosecution agreement where 43 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden would plead guilty to nothing. He would not 44 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: have to plead guilty to any criminal offense whatsoever, but 45 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: DOJ would file a document with the court that granted 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: him essentially immunity, granted him a promise that the federal 47 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: government would not prosecute him for the tax claims, for 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: the gun crimes, for his illegal dealings, and his shady 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: dealings with Ukraine with China. That would essentially give him 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: a get out of jail free card on all of 51 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: his criminal conduct. That's stunning and what happened. So we 52 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 3: also have now a one hundred page PowerPoint that Hunter 53 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: Biden's lawyer got named Chris Clark, had taken to the 54 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: Department of Justice, where they argued that if DOJ prosecuted Hunter, 55 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 3: it would be seen as political because Donald Trump called 56 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: for Hunter to be prosecuted. Hunter's lawyer said, you can't 57 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: prosecute him. If you do what Trump wants, then you're 58 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: just being political. That argument is astonishing, and in fact, 59 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: they ratcheted up even more. Hunter Biden's lawyer said if 60 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: you indict Hunter Biden, we will put Joe Biden, the 61 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: President of the United States, on the stand to testify 62 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: as a fact witness. In fact, let me read from 63 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: a thirty two page letter that Clark wrote to the 64 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: Department of Justice. Quote President Biden now unquestionably would be 65 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial. 66 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: And all of these threats worked. Doj was fine with 67 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: not even a slap on the wrist, just a magic 68 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 3: wand all the criminal charges go away because Daddy says so. 69 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: And then what happened is two irs whistleblowers came forward 70 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 3: and they blew the whistle. 71 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: And how brave are they now? 72 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: At this point, I mean, Senator, I think we need 73 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: to just take a moment to say thank you and 74 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: to say God bless these patriots were coming forward and 75 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: just telling the truth. They're not pushing in political agenda. 76 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: They're just telling the truth about what they saw and 77 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: how corrupt it was and how they were not allowed 78 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: to do their jobs. 79 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: Well, no, that's exactly right. And the instant they came 80 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: forward and blew the whistle, what did the Biden administration do? 81 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: Pulled them off? 82 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 3: The investigation retally created instantaneously. It is illegal to retaliate 83 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: against a whistleblower. But Merrick Garland, this administration doesn't doesn't 84 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: seem to care about the law. And if those IRS 85 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 3: whistleblowers had not come forward, what these internal communications show 86 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 3: is the Biden DOJ was perfectly prepared to let Hunter 87 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: Biden off scott free. And then suddenly you had the 88 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: IRS whistleblowers testifying before Congress, and presumably DOJ said, oh crap, 89 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: we can't like. This is too ridiculous even for us 90 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: to say. And so then they revise the deal and 91 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: they said, okay, we have a revised deal. Hunter has 92 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges. Now he 93 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: still gets zero jail time, not a year, not a month, 94 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 3: not a week, not a day, not an hour in jail, 95 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 3: zero jail time, and he still gets the magic immunity 96 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 3: from everything. But we at least have a guilty, please too, 97 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 3: guilty pleae to the misdemeanor tax charges. And I guess 98 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: they felt that would give them the political cover to say, look, 99 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: how tough we are. If it weren't for the whistleblowers, 100 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: even that sweetheart deal, it wouldn't have been that tough. 101 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 3: This exchange is astonishing. But then what happened, As you'll recall, 102 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: when they went into court and they assumed that the 103 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: federal judge would just rubber stamp the deal, the judge 104 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: asked a few simple questions about its details, and in particular, 105 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: is the investigation ongoing? And the Department of Justice, no doubt, 106 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: embarrassed by the mountain of evidence that had come up 107 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: that DOJ had engaged in obstruction of justice, had blocked 108 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: the investigation, had tipped off Hunter Biden's lawyers before they 109 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: were going to interview Hunter Biden. Had blocked searching the 110 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: where house where Hunter's records were kept, had blocked any 111 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: investigation into Joe Biden, had blocked any questions into the 112 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: Big Guy, had blocked any effort to get the GPS 113 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: location of Joe Biden in terms of whether he was 114 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: actually sitting next to Hunter Biden. When Hunter Biden text 115 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: texted a senior Chinese Communist official that he was sitting 116 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: next to his father, the investigators wanted to use GPS 117 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: data to confirm that, and DOJ blocked it. Said nope, nope, 118 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: we don't want to know. We don't want to know. 119 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: We don't want to know all of that had come out, 120 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: and so DOOJ presumably was feeling a tiny tiny bit embarrassed. 121 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: And so what did they do when the judge asked, 122 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: is the investigation ongoing? Well, if they'd said no, they 123 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: would have looked like complete clowns given the massive evidence 124 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: that came out. So they said, oh, yes, yes, the 125 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: investigations ongoing, at which point Hunter Biden's lawyers began jumping 126 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: up and down because they believed that they had a 127 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: magic get out of jail free car. 128 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: A magic get out a jail free card that no 129 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: one else in this country I think would be able 130 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: to get, especially now knowing what they were doing. This 131 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: is the other part that I think American Center are 132 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: so concerned about, is the lawlessness. Now, every time you 133 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: think it's the worst it could be with the Biden 134 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: crime family, we get more emails, we get more evidence, 135 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: we get new leaks, we get new whistleblowers, and yet 136 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: still that you know, David Weiss is in charge, the 137 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: guy who set up all the deals, who let the 138 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: statute of limitations run out, And so they say, Okay, 139 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: yes it's new, but is this really going to have 140 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: an impact? Now I'm going to ask you, does this 141 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: really change anything? Can it change the dynamic that this 142 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: is now the guy who's supposed to be investigating and 143 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: you can clearly point to you guys were screwing over 144 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: American justices in the entire time. 145 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: Look, the idea that David Weiss is now the special 146 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 3: prosecutor is utterly absurd. David Weiss, when he was leading 147 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: this investigation, was prepared to sign off on zero charges 148 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: whatsoever for criminal conduct that Hunter Biden unquestionably had committed. 149 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 3: David Weiss was perfectly prepared to give not just the 150 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 3: sweetheart deal, but the super super sweetheart deal, the sweetheart 151 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: deal where Hunter Biden pleads guilty to nothing. That's what 152 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 3: Weiss was prepared to do. And it was under Weiss's 153 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 3: leadership that the obstruction of justice occurred. That they gave 154 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 3: repeatedly heads up to Hunter Biden to enable him to 155 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: frustrate the investigation. It was under David Weiss that that 156 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: DOJ officials inserted themselves into the investigation to make sure 157 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: that zero questions were asked about Joe Biden. That's the 158 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 3: most important thing to understand the objective of the Department 159 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: of Justice from day one was protect President Joe Biden. 160 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: It was a political objective. And by the way, that 161 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 3: political objective is precisely the reason the special council law exists, 162 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: because when you have a political Attorney General like Merrick Garland, 163 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: they have political incentives, and so you're supposed to appoint 164 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 3: a special council when there's a conflict of interest like 165 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: that from outside the Department of Justice. As we discussed 166 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: in last week's pod, appointing David David Weiss is on 167 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: its face, objectively illegal because he is a sitting US 168 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: attorney so he doesn't meet the DOJ guidelines of being 169 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 3: from outside DOJ. But Merrick Garland wants him. He knows 170 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: he has his Patsy here. He knows he has a 171 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 3: guy that will protect Joe Biden no matter what, and 172 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: and and sadly, and by the way, uh, if you 173 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: look at the draft wording of the agreement, let's let 174 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: me reduce some of it. The Department of Justice agrees 175 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: not to criminally prosecute Robert Hunter, Biden and the affiliated 176 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: businesses namely a Wassco, pc Osco LLC, and Scanitise LLC, 177 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 3: for any federal crimes arising from the conduct generally described 178 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 3: in the attached statement of facts, or for any other 179 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: federal crimes relating to matters investigated by the United States. 180 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: So understand this immunity that they were negotiating was it 181 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 3: was designed, and what these emails going back and forth 182 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: reveal it is that Hunter's lawyers were terrified that in 183 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: a couple of years there would be a Republican president 184 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 3: and you would have an Attorney General who was not 185 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: a Democrat partisan in a and that Hunter would actually 186 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: be prosecuted for what now was indisputably a repeat pattern 187 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: of felonies. And so their objective was give us an 188 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: agreement that we can use in two years to prevent 189 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 3: a subsequent attorney general from prosecuting us, and Merrick Garland 190 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: and David Weiss were more than happy to go along 191 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: with that. 192 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about our friends of her Chalk. 193 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 2: If you're a guy and you feel like you're getting 194 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: a little bit older and you've lost some of that edge, 195 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: you feel like complacency and just tired and maybe even 196 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: feel like you're laziest kind of set in and it 197 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: doesn't feel like it's you, Well, then you need to 198 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: check out Chalk choq dot com.

They 217 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 2: say that in these articles you'll get it says basically, 218 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: after Gary Shapley went public, everything changed. He comes out 219 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: goes public. We find out that that basically they gave 220 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: him the sweetheart deal. He was avoiding jail time. He 221 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: was going to get this quote global immunity deal in place. 222 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: That didn't happen. Then you've got a chance for the 223 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: judge to look at it. That blew everything up. And 224 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: now some people are saying it's still a sham because, 225 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: as it's been described by several they've said, look, everything 226 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: on the surface screams that this is corruption. Yet everybody 227 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: that's still in charge of the case is part of 228 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: the crime, cover up and protecting the Biden. So how 229 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: is there a way to change that? Well, it is 230 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: absolutely a sham. The person put in charge of investigating 231 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: it is the person who is alleged to have been 232 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: engaged in obstruction of justice. And look at the timeline. 233 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: So May twenty fourth, Gary Shapley, who was the IRS 234 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: investigator supervising the Biden probe, he went public in an 235 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: interview with CBS News and said that the Justice Department 236 00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: had slow walked the investigation. Just days later, the DOJ 237 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: lawyers changed the deal and they said the deal would 238 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: have to change and Biden would now need to plead 239 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: guilty to tax chargers. It was obvious the only reason 240 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: they were doing. 241 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: It is Shapley had now blown the whistle on that, 242 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: and Biden's team agreed. But let me read from the 243 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: Politico art article because the timeline is really stunning. So 244 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 3: it was May twenty fourth that Shapley goes public on 245 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: CBS on the evening of June second, So just a 246 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 3: few days later, Clark, who's Hunter's lawyer, emailed Wolf. Leslie 247 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: Wolf was the senior lawyer working for David Wise, who 248 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: was also a Democrat donor, who was also the one 249 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: that was actively tipping off Hunter. Biden's team allegedly accorded 250 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: the IRS whistleblowers as to the investigation that was happening. 251 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: Who was also the one who directly blocked investigating Joe Biden. 252 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: It was Leslie Wolf was really the point of the 253 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 3: spear on the obstruction that is alleged by the IRS whistleblowers. 254 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 3: But here's what Politico says. On the evening of June second, 255 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: Clark emailed Wolf to tell her protection from prosecution was 256 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: vital to the deal. He sent along sample language saying 257 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: the United States would not prosecute Biden for quote, any 258 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: federal crimes arising from the conduct generally described in two 259 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: documents that be part of the final deal. Quote this 260 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: language or its functional equivalent is very critical to us, 261 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: Clark added, Politico continues left unstated was a key implication 262 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 3: of a broad immunity provision. It would give Hunter Biden 263 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: a level of protection, a layer of protection if Trump 264 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: or another Republican won the twenty twenty four election and 265 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 3: ordered a wide ranging criminal investigation into the Biden family, 266 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: something Trump has repeatedly promised to do. Over the course 267 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 3: of a few more emails, lawyers on both sides kept 268 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 3: line editing the deal, and on June seventh, wolf this 269 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 3: is the DOJ lawyer who blocks investigations into Joe Biden. 270 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: Wolfe sent Clark a version that included the final language 271 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 3: shielding Biden from future charges. That that language, that agreement 272 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: is fundamentally corrupt it There is no innocuous explanation for 273 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 3: why before the whistleblowers come public, they're happy to bring 274 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 3: no charges at all and have no guilty please. After 275 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: the whistleblowers become public, they realize, oh, crap, that makes 276 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: us look like complete partisan hacks. So let's come up 277 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 3: with a way to even have the slap on the wrist. 278 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: They initially wanted no slap on the wrist at all. 279 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: They just wanted to kiss on the forehead. And now 280 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 3: the people Merrick Garland is put in charge of this 281 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 3: are the people who were the ones blocking the investigation 282 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 3: in the first place. 283 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: You combine this center with some new intel that's coming 284 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: out of Parently this week. It was teased by your 285 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: good friend someone we had on the show for a 286 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: two part series. If you missed it, go back and 287 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 2: listen to it with Representative James Comer. But he came 288 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: out and talked about the Vice President, Joe Biden, in essence, 289 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: had not just a burner phone that we learned about 290 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 2: recently and a journalist that call that phone and the 291 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: president actually picked up. 292 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: But there's also these. 293 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 2: Apparently burner email addresses and a burner account for people 294 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 2: that may not understand that analogy is a phone that 295 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: you don't want anybody else to know that you have 296 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: that would be somewhat untraceable. Burner email accounts are email 297 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 2: accounts that you set up specifically so they will not 298 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 2: be connected to you, to send or receive messages to 299 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: those aliases, to those email accounts that are not officially 300 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: connected you, so no one even know to look there 301 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 2: if they ever found them. Now, how do we know 302 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: about these when we know about them now from Hunter 303 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: Biden's laptop and we know some of these aliases were 304 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: the president and the Vice President went by, was Robin Ware, 305 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 2: Robert L. 306 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: Peters, and j. RB Ware. 307 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: Now the point that matters is these email addresses weren't 308 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: just set up, but they were used to keep his son, 309 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden informed on his communications as the official vice 310 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: president and the point man on Ukraine, to keep his 311 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: son informed the communications that he as the vice president, 312 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: which would be official government relations representing the United States 313 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: of America with Ukraine. Your initial reaction to that bomb 314 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: show as well. 315 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: Look, look, it's stunning. I've never seen anything remotely like that. 316 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 3: The President of the United States having a burner phone 317 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 3: so that he can he can hide and communicate. What 318 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 3: that suggests is that he knows he's committing criminal conduct. 319 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: The President of the United States having burner emails, false emails, 320 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 3: fake emails, Holy cow, have you ever heard anything remotely 321 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 3: like that? And to be clear, these fake emails are 322 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 3: not to sign up for magazine subscriptions. These fake emails 323 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 3: were used to email Hunter Biden about Ukraine. And by 324 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 3: the way, it was the same Ukraine where Bisma was 325 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 3: paying Hunter eighty three thousand dollars a month in order 326 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 3: to get favors from Joe Biden. And so look, when 327 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 3: someone attempts to hide their conduct, when someone creates a 328 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: fake name, when someone uses a burner phone, particularly in 329 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 3: a high government office, that is indicative of an awareness 330 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: that what you're doing is at a minimum shady as 331 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: hell and an all likelihood illegal and criminal. It is 332 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: I am not aware of any precedent for any president 333 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: doing what we now know Joe Biden has done in 334 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 3: order to communicate with Hunter Biden about Ukraine. It also 335 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 3: demonstrates that Joe Biden's repeated statements that he never talked 336 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 3: about Hunter's business in Ukraine is just a flat out lie. 337 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 3: I mean, there's now not even the tiniest fig leaf 338 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: to pretend to defend those false statements Joe Biden made 339 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 3: over and over and over again to the American people. 340 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: I want to play part of what James Comer had 341 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: to say when he was talking to Maria Bartromo on 342 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: Fox this morning and also telegraphing that there is more 343 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: money and more bank account information that they're going to 344 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: be releasing soon. 345 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: But first listen to that part about the emails. 346 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 4: I want to get the state of affairs of your investigation, 347 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 4: given we have a new special Council now in the 348 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 4: Hunter Biden investigation. But first let's discuss these pseudonyms or 349 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: alias names. 350 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: What exactly have you learned. 351 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 5: Well, we've learned that Joe Biden used at least three 352 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 5: pseudonyms or fake names in emails that he was receiving 353 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 5: from people within the federal government, people that worked for him. 354 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 5: And even more troubling than that, Maria, we've learned that 355 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 5: when he was receiving emails pertaining to Ukraine, his son 356 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 5: Hunter was copied on them, which we've always heard that 357 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 5: The White House has said that Hunter Biden wasn't an 358 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 5: employee of the government. He wasn't any part of the government. 359 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 5: They couldn't understand why House Republicans on the Oversight Committee 360 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 5: were investigating Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, because 361 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 5: Hunter wasn't a part of the government. If that were true, 362 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 5: then why was he receiving emails from the government. 363 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 4: Well, this also pertains to the firing of the special 364 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 4: prosecutor in Ukraine, Victor Choken, was that what these emails 365 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 4: were about, because you have told us in the past 366 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 4: that that was one decision you were looking at as 367 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 4: far as a decision that Joe Biden may have been 368 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 4: paid for to get involved in getting that prosecutor off 369 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 4: the back of Barisma. 370 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 5: I think the evidence is mounting every day to proof 371 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 5: that Joe Biden went to Ukraine for the sole purpose 372 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 5: of firing Shokun, who was the Ukrainian prosecutor who was 373 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 5: investigating his son for corruption. What we heard in the 374 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 5: transcribed interview with Devin Archer was that he said that 375 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 5: the owners of Barisma were squeezing Hunter, saying we need 376 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 5: help in Washington. You need to call Washington for help. 377 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 5: Of course, the Democrats tried to say that, well, that 378 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 5: could have been anybody in Washington. Well, what we've now 379 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 5: learned is Joe Biden was using a fake email name 380 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 5: to receive correspondence from his staff that he was copying 381 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 5: Hunter Biden on and I believe Maria that Hunter had 382 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 5: to prove value to the Barisma owners that they were 383 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 5: working on this, so he was forwarding those to the 384 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 5: owners of Barisma. 385 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: Look, this is obvious that Joe Biden. 386 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 5: Abused his power as Vice president for the sole purpose 387 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 5: to protect his son who was receiving millions and millions 388 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 5: of dollars from this corrupt Ukrainian energy company. And this 389 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 5: email ties Joe Biden and Hunter Biden into this corruption 390 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 5: scheme without a shadow of a doubt. 391 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 4: Well, it also is quite interesting that Hunter Biden is 392 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 4: even c seed on any of these emails. This was 393 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 4: government business, right, This was. 394 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: One hundred percent government business. 395 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 5: Again, the Democrats in the White House have claimed that 396 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 5: Hunter Biden and Joe Biden had a wall, a firewall 397 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 5: between their business affairs. And again, Maria, as you know, 398 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 5: there are no legitimate businesses here. The Biden family were 399 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 5: receiving payments from bad people in bad countries. 400 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: Around the world. 401 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 5: And what we've been trying to do is figure out why, 402 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 5: why in the world would the Biden family receive over 403 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 5: twenty million dollars from foreign nationals around the world. And 404 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 5: this is evidence to show that Joe Biden was communicating 405 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 5: with his son. He was making sure that his son, 406 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: you he was on his way to Ukraine. Remember, the 407 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 5: timeline of these emails show that Joe Biden was in 408 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 5: root from Washington to Ukraine for the sole purpose of 409 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 5: withholding foreign a to Ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor. 410 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 5: And we know that happened, and we know Joe Biden 411 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 5: accepted credit for it. He did an interview where he said, well, 412 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 5: son of a Bee, they fired the prosecutor before I 413 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: got on the plane and left Ukraine. Joe Biden, in 414 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 5: his own words, said that, So now we have evidence 415 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 5: that Joe Biden and his administration was communicating with Hunter Biden. 416 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 5: They knew Hunter Biden was affiliated with Ukraine. That's another line, Maria. 417 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 5: Joe Biden said he didn't even know Hunter was on 418 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 5: the BARISHMA board for a long time. This is another line. 419 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 5: They were copying Hunter and the only emails we've seen 420 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 5: were they were copying Hunter were pertaining the Ukraine at 421 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 5: a critical time when Joe Biden was going there to 422 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 5: fire the prosecutor in Chachel four and eight. 423 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: That's called a quid pro quote. 424 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 2: That's called a quid pro quote. That's something we've said 425 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: a lot, but this is on a different level. Is 426 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: it not illegal if you're sharing information that is going 427 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: to profit your family member or even a friend, if 428 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: you are in charge of before policy and sitting in 429 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 2: the Oval office on a daily basis as a vice 430 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: president and you're seeing your son from a burner email account. Hey, 431 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: here's where we are. Let your buddies know at Barisma. Hey, 432 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: here's where we are with the fire and the prosecutor. 433 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 2: Let your employer know at Barisma, and don't forget get 434 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 2: them to send me the money. 435 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: I'm the big guy. 436 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 3: It is absolutely illegal to personally profit to sell favors 437 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: when you were in office, and the evidence is mounting 438 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 3: every day that that's what Joe Biden was in the 439 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 3: business of doing. There is no legitimate explanation for why 440 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 3: government employees would be CEE seeing Hunter Biden and emailing 441 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden about Ukraine and doing so over and over 442 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: and over again. Hunter Biden did not have a legitimate 443 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 3: government reason to be looped in on the Ukrainian discussions. 444 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: But you know what he did have. He did have 445 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 3: a business reason because Barisma was paying him for that 446 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: kind of access. And you know, when daddy's vice president, 447 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: you can get looped in on exactly what the administration 448 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: plans to do. And it is astonishing. There is no 449 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 3: innocent explanation for why Joe Biden was using fake email 450 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 3: names on these emails. If this were above board, presumably 451 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's actual name would be on there. This is 452 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 3: the government. I've never heard of within the government government 453 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 3: emails going to an officeholder and using a fake alias. 454 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: The lies that. 455 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 3: Keep going out are over and over and over again. 456 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 3: I'll give you another one. March twenty twenty two, David 457 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: Weiss took the case to the US attorney for DC, 458 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 3: Matt Graves. Now Matt Graves. It was and is a 459 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 3: Biden appointee. He had been a political donor to Joe Biden, 460 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 3: so he was a partisan Democrat. And Matt Graves, the 461 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 3: US attorney said, no, we will not bring a case 462 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 3: in d which is where you could have gotten stricter 463 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 3: punishment because the more serious criminal tax offenses occurred in DC. 464 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 3: Matt Graves said no. The very same day that Hunter's 465 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 3: team of lawyers was meeting with the prosecutors. And this 466 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 3: was April twenty six, twenty twenty two. Merrick Garland was 467 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 3: testifying before a Senate Appropriation subcommittee that quote, there will 468 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: not be interference of any political or improper kind. That's 469 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 3: a flat out lie. It was a political appointee, Matt Graves, 470 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 3: a donor to Joe Biden, who blocked charges against Hunter 471 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 3: in d C. It was another political appointee, the US 472 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: Attorney for the Central District of California, who blocked charges there, 473 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: and that US attorney had been a donor to Kamala Harris. 474 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 3: And so what Merrick Garland said that there was no 475 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: political interference is objectively false. And yet this administration doesn't 476 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: acknowledge the lies they keep getting caught in. They just 477 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 3: keep making them over and over and over again. 478 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

James Comer, he telegraphed to 509 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: us when we interviewed him that they were expecting it 510 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: to be I think he said at that point at 511 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: least thirty million that they are going to be able 512 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: to trace directly going into the shell companies of the 513 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: Biden family. That number in the last week has jumped 514 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: to it looks like fifty to sixty million. And he 515 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: even said coming up this week and it may happen. 516 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: He said, this week, we're going to release more bank 517 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 2: records with more money that came in to the Biden family. 518 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: We don't know what countries. We don't know if it's 519 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 2: the same countries, more from Russia, are Ukraine or Romania, 520 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: We don't know that. But there's more money coming in. 521 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: Is there a certain point here where the financial gains 522 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 2: of the Bidens could be so great that the media 523 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: and Washington cannot look the other way any longer. 524 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 3: Well, it does say something that both the New York 525 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 3: Times and Politico we're willing to report on this, that 526 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 3: they're finally acknowledging that this evidence stinks and look just like, 527 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 3: there's no legitimate reason for Joe Biden have a burner phone. 528 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 3: There's no legitimate reason for him to have fake emails. 529 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: There's no legitimate reason for government employees to eb emailing 530 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden about Ukraine about confidential disc ushs about Ukraine. 531 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 3: There's no legitimate reason for Joe Biden to use his 532 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 3: fake emails on those emails to Hunter about Ukraine. There's 533 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 3: also no legitimate reason for them to have over twenty 534 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 3: shell companies, companies that don't make anything, company that don't 535 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 3: have employees, companies that are not real companies. They're simply 536 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 3: that they're simply vehicles for money laundering. And it's worth 537 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 3: noting that the defense that that the Bidens are making 538 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 3: so one of the things the IRS whistleblower said is 539 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 3: that Chris Clark, Hunter Biden's defense lawyer told the DOJ 540 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 3: lawyers quote that if they charge Hunter Biden, they would 541 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 3: be committing quote, career suicide. That's not subtle, that is 542 00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 3: very explicit. We have political power, and that political power 543 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,719 Speaker 3: is going to protect Joe Biden. It doesn't matter if 544 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: he's taken bribes. It doesn't matter if he's solicited bribes. 545 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if he had his son or engage 546 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 3: in illegal money laundering. It doesn't matter if they are 547 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 3: selling favors from the vice president of the United States 548 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 3: and perhaps now at the President of the United States. 549 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: That is. 550 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 3: Utterly transparent. But you know what it isn't. It isn't justice, 551 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: it isn't law enforcement, It isn't faithfully applying the law. 552 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 3: It is instead corruption. 553 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 2: It's corruption at a level that I'm not sure we've 554 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: ever seen. I was flying today and I was watching 555 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 2: this new show that's out about Watergate, and it was 556 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: very interesting to watch. And they were depicting how Watergate 557 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 2: kind of went down and behind the scenes in the 558 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 2: White House and Gi Gordon, LYDDI, etc. And how they 559 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: were trying to pull it off, and then what happened 560 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 2: obviously when they got caught and to cover up with it. 561 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: And if you compare Watergate and I was watching HBO show, 562 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 2: go check it out, it's very entertaining. If you compare 563 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 2: what they were doing and Watergate and you put it 564 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 2: next to on a spreadsheet what we're talking about right now, 565 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say there's absolutely no comparison 566 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: between the two. Like what we're talking about now is 567 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 2: nothing compared to Watergate. And Watergate was the worst political scandal, 568 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 2: quote in American political modern history, and the whole world 569 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 2: stop to watch it and people went to jail. 570 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you look at what we have right now. 571 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 2: No one's going to jail, and the people that are 572 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 2: supposed to be the protectors of this country are protecting 573 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: the Bidens instead of this country. Does that shock you 574 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: in a way that we've gone so far from one 575 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 2: way to the other. 576 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 3: Well, we've seen too many of our institutions become fundamentally corrupt. 577 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 3: With Watergate, there was criminality. There was criminality that extended 578 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 3: all the way up to the Attorney General of the 579 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 3: United States, to the President of the United States, the 580 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 3: Chief of Staff of the United States, to senior White 581 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 3: House officials. But the system worked, and you had Number 582 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 3: One Congress that began investigations. And critically, the reason the 583 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 3: system worked is because there were Republicans who turned on 584 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 3: Richard Nixon, who looked at his criminal conduct and said, 585 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 3: this is too much, we can't support this. There has 586 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 3: not been a single Democrat member of Congress express even 587 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 3: the tiniest bit of interest in knowing whether or not 588 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 3: the President of the United States has solicited and received 589 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 3: millions of dollars of bribes from foreign nationals in exchange 590 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 3: for official government favors. In other words, is the president 591 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 3: such a crook that he's getting bribes and bribes from 592 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 3: corrupt foreign oligarchs. I mean, those are incredibly serious allegations. 593 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 3: And to be clear, these allegations are made with significant 594 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 3: evidence a confidential human source who called the FBI and 595 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 3: and who is the source for the ft ten twenty three. 596 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 3: Unlike Watergate, no one of the president's own party cares 597 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 3: to even know the answer. Also, in Watergate, you had 598 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 3: journalists who actually would do their jobs. Woodward and Bernstein 599 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 3: at the Washington Post. They pursued this like a dogged bone. Today, 600 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 3: the Washington Post, the New York Times, their investigative journalists, 601 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 3: by and large, ignore all of this. Now, they just 602 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 3: were handed two hundred pages of confidential emails and given that, 603 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 3: given that leak, that they finally decided to write a 604 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 3: story in the New York Times in Politico. But that 605 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 3: exception proves the rule. And let's be clear, in Watergate, 606 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 3: the Attorney General John Mitchell was sentenced to and serve 607 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 3: twenty two months in jail. I think Merrick Garland has 608 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 3: real criminal exposure. I believe there should be a special 609 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 3: counsel investigating Merrick Garland, and I believe the House should 610 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 3: be pursuing impeachment of Merrick Garland. But right now, the 611 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 3: media has been corrupted and the Democrat Party, there is 612 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 3: not even a single Democrat who has shown the integrity 613 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 3: to care whether the president is soliciting or has solicited 614 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 3: and received millions of dollars of bribes. 615 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: Let's talk about your retirement for a moment. If you 616 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 2: are like me and you've been watching what's going on 617 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 2: in the markets, you've been watching interest rates that just 618 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 2: hit a twenty one year high, and you're thinking about 619 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 2: your retirement account.

Last question for you. 645 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 2: We've got a presidential of debate this week, which obviously 646 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 2: we're going to cover when it happens. 647 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: It's the first one. 648 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's not going to be there, but all those 649 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: Republicans on the stage, they're going to be focusing on 650 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 2: the guy in the middle of the stage, and that's 651 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 2: going to be Ronda Santis. 652 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: That's normal. 653 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 2: My question for you because you have done these debates 654 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 2: and you know how important they are and how they 655 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 2: can separate you from the crowd, and you had some 656 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 2: incredible debates that really helped your campaign. What is the 657 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 2: strategy going to be and what would your strategy be 658 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 2: on stage this week with dealing with this Hunter Biden information. 659 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,720 Speaker 2: Do you make this election about this and say if 660 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 2: I am elected, this is what I'm going to do, 661 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 2: and how hard would you play that or would you 662 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 2: what would this strategy be for if you were on 663 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 2: this stage this week. 664 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 3: Well, debates are frequently pivotal moments in presidential campaigns, and 665 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 3: one of the reasons they are is there one of 666 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 3: the very few events that that you get so many 667 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 3: eyeballs while that you have the ability a candidate has 668 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 3: the ability to communicate with the voters, going over the 669 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: heads of the media gatekeepers. When you're running for president 670 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 3: as a Republican, it is incredibly frustrating that you'll go 671 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 3: and give a speech on the stump and the news 672 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 3: stations won't cover it, the newspapers won't write about it. 673 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 3: If you roll out a policy proposals over and over again, 674 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 3: they'll ignore it. And the advantage of a debate is 675 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 3: you have a chance to talk directly to the voters. Look, 676 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 3: you and I and many of the listeners a verdict 677 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 3: are following what's happening in the presidential campaign. We know 678 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 3: who the candidates are. Most Americans don't. Most Americans are 679 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 3: not following this day to day closely, and so this 680 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: debate will be the first opportunity for millions of Americans 681 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 3: and millions of Republican primary voters to see these candidates, 682 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 3: to hear them and to hear how they exchange. Now, 683 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 3: every candidate's going to go in with a different objective. 684 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 3: You're right, Ron DeSantis has a target on him. He 685 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 3: is universally seen as as as the number two candidates, 686 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 3: as Trump's strongest opposition, which means everyone else on that stage, 687 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 3: if they want to have a chance at winning, they 688 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 3: got to take out DeSantis. I expect a lot of 689 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 3: shots directed at de Santas. We'll see how how Ron 690 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 3: does defending himself from defending himself from from those shots. 691 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 3: It will be very interesting to see how each of 692 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 3: the candidates responds to Donald Trump. Some of them I 693 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 3: expect to defend Trump vigorously. All of them are virtually 694 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 3: all of them are going to say that the investigations 695 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 3: from the Biden DOJ represent a double standard of justice 696 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 3: and a politicization of justice. You will see some like 697 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 3: Chris Christy, who I expect will blast Trump full throatedly, 698 00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 3: and each candidate they're looking for a moment debate. Often 699 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 3: it's a small thing that that people remember. It's it's 700 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 3: a comment you know, Ronald Reagan. You know, there you 701 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 3: go again. It's their small moments in debates that that 702 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 3: that are zingers. You know, if you look at the 703 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 3: debate the vice presidential debate between Lloyd Benson and Dan Quayle, 704 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 3: oh yeah, you know. Dan Quayle was was comparing himself 705 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 3: to to to John F. Kennedy and saying he was 706 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 3: the same age as John F. Kennedy and and Lloyd 707 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 3: Benson turned to him and and and and said, Dan, 708 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 3: I knew John Kennedy. John Kennedy was my friend. And Dan, 709 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 3: You're no John Kennedy. That that was devastating moments like that. 710 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 3: Each of the candidates, presumably is working with a debate 711 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 3: prep team. Different candidates do it different ways. Most of 712 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 3: them do some form of a mock where they get 713 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 3: people to pretend to be the other candidates and they 714 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 3: go through and practice. 715 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: Is it, but. 716 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 3: We will see. I think there there will be opportunities. 717 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 3: One of the big questions is going to be how 718 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 3: does desantistu because because he is the number two right now, 719 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 3: and so if he does really well, he could get stronger. 720 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 3: If he stumbles, that presents an opening for for other candidates. 721 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 3: A second question a lot of people are going to 722 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 3: be looking to is is who shines, Who has a 723 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 3: a moment that that sparkles You know, Tim Scott can 724 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 3: be a wonderful orator. He may have a moment that 725 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 3: that that that that catches some sizzle. Uh. Vivek Ramaswami 726 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 3: is is very smart, has been having some strong moments 727 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 3: out on the stump. I could easily see Vivek having 728 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 3: a moment in the debate that that that that goes viral, 729 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 3: and and and so all of them are going to 730 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 3: be looking for those moments. 731 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: It's going to be very interesting. 732 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 2: We're going to have one hell of a week here 733 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 2: on Verdict, and we're working on things also, very specially 734 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 2: this week.
