WEBVTT - Explosive Emails Show DOJ Wanted to Bring ZERO Charges Against Hunter, plus Joe Biden Caught Using Burner Phones & Fake E-Mails

0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome.

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 2>It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>you on this Monday. It's really nice to have you

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>with a senator. You and I had a very fun weekend,

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>which we're going to talk about a little bit later

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 2>hopefully this week and get people behind the curtains on that.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 2>That's the teas for everybody, So you're going to want

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>to stick around for late this week. But we've got

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.119
<v Speaker 2>some breaking news that deals with two different articles that

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.319
<v Speaker 2>have come out, one of them in Politico and the

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>other with the New York Times that have come out

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to talk about Hunter Biden's legal team and the handling

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:36.599
<v Speaker 2>of not only their emails but also the handling by

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>the DOJ basically saying we don't want to touch this,

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>we don't want to prosecute, and only because whistleblowers have

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>come out is their narrative change break all this down

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>for people because it's shocking.

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, these two news stories are both astonishing, and they're

0:00:55.320 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 3>based on the leak of two hundred pages of emails

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 3>and communications between the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden's

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 3>legal team, and it turns out that the sweetheart deal

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 3>we all know about where DOJ went in and tried

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 3>to give Hunter Biden a slap on the wrist where

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 3>he pleads guilty to two misdemeanors and gets no jail

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 3>time and magically gets off with everything. That wasn't actually

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 3>where DOJ started. And I don't know who leaked these correspondences,

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 3>and they leaked them. One story is in Politico, the

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>others in New York Times, and they're both based on

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 3>the on the same set of correspondents. DOJ initially planned

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>to charge Hunter Biden with nothing, not bring a single charge,

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>not a tax charge, not a gun charge. By the way,

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 3>it was Hunter Biden was unquestionably guilty. Nobody disputed it was.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 3>He was guilty that he hadn't paid millions of dollars

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 3>in taxes. There was no dispute about that. That he

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>owned a gun illegally, it is illegal for a crack

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 3>user to own a gun. There was no dispute about that.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>That he lied on the form, and he said he

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't do illegal drugs when in fact he was regularly

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 3>smoking crack cocaine. There's no dispute about that. So it

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 3>was he was indisputably guilty. And yet DOJ's initial position was,

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 3>we're going to charge you with nothing. Instead, what they

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.399
<v Speaker 3>were going to bring was a deferred prosecution agreement where

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Biden would plead guilty to nothing. He would not

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 3>have to plead guilty to any criminal offense whatsoever, but

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 3>DOJ would file a document with the court that granted

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 3>him essentially immunity, granted him a promise that the federal

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 3>government would not prosecute him for the tax claims, for

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>the gun crimes, for his illegal dealings, and his shady

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 3>dealings with Ukraine with China. That would essentially give him

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 3>a get out of jail free card on all of

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 3>his criminal conduct. That's stunning and what happened. So we

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 3>also have now a one hundred page PowerPoint that Hunter

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Biden's lawyer got named Chris Clark, had taken to the

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Department of Justice, where they argued that if DOJ prosecuted Hunter,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 3>it would be seen as political because Donald Trump called

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 3>for Hunter to be prosecuted. Hunter's lawyer said, you can't

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 3>prosecute him. If you do what Trump wants, then you're

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 3>just being political. That argument is astonishing, and in fact,

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 3>they ratcheted up even more. Hunter Biden's lawyer said if

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 3>you indict Hunter Biden, we will put Joe Biden, the

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 3>President of the United States, on the stand to testify

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 3>as a fact witness. In fact, let me read from

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 3>a thirty two page letter that Clark wrote to the

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Department of Justice. Quote President Biden now unquestionably would be

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 3>a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial.

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 3>And all of these threats worked. Doj was fine with

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 3>not even a slap on the wrist, just a magic

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 3>wand all the criminal charges go away because Daddy says so.

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 3>And then what happened is two irs whistleblowers came forward

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.239
<v Speaker 3>and they blew the whistle.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>And how brave are they now?

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>At this point, I mean, Senator, I think we need

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>to just take a moment to say thank you and

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>to say God bless these patriots were coming forward and

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>just telling the truth. They're not pushing in political agenda.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>They're just telling the truth about what they saw and

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 2>how corrupt it was and how they were not allowed

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>to do their jobs.

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, that's exactly right. And the instant they came

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 3>forward and blew the whistle, what did the Biden administration do?

0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Pulled them off?

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 3>The investigation retally created instantaneously. It is illegal to retaliate

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 3>against a whistleblower. But Merrick Garland, this administration doesn't doesn't

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>seem to care about the law. And if those IRS

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 3>whistleblowers had not come forward, what these internal communications show

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 3>is the Biden DOJ was perfectly prepared to let Hunter

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 3>Biden off scott free. And then suddenly you had the

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 3>IRS whistleblowers testifying before Congress, and presumably DOJ said, oh crap,

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>we can't like. This is too ridiculous even for us

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 3>to say. And so then they revise the deal and

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 3>they said, okay, we have a revised deal. Hunter has

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 3>to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges. Now he

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 3>still gets zero jail time, not a year, not a month,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 3>not a week, not a day, not an hour in jail,

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 3>zero jail time, and he still gets the magic immunity

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 3>from everything. But we at least have a guilty, please too,

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 3>guilty pleae to the misdemeanor tax charges. And I guess

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 3>they felt that would give them the political cover to say, look,

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 3>how tough we are. If it weren't for the whistleblowers,

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 3>even that sweetheart deal, it wouldn't have been that tough.

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 3>This exchange is astonishing. But then what happened, As you'll recall,

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 3>when they went into court and they assumed that the

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 3>federal judge would just rubber stamp the deal, the judge

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 3>asked a few simple questions about its details, and in particular,

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 3>is the investigation ongoing? And the Department of Justice, no doubt,

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 3>embarrassed by the mountain of evidence that had come up

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 3>that DOJ had engaged in obstruction of justice, had blocked

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 3>the investigation, had tipped off Hunter Biden's lawyers before they

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>were going to interview Hunter Biden. Had blocked searching the

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 3>where house where Hunter's records were kept, had blocked any

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 3>investigation into Joe Biden, had blocked any questions into the

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Big Guy, had blocked any effort to get the GPS

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 3>location of Joe Biden in terms of whether he was

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 3>actually sitting next to Hunter Biden. When Hunter Biden text

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 3>texted a senior Chinese Communist official that he was sitting

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 3>next to his father, the investigators wanted to use GPS

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 3>data to confirm that, and DOJ blocked it. Said nope, nope,

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 3>we don't want to know. We don't want to know.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 3>We don't want to know all of that had come out,

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 3>and so DOOJ presumably was feeling a tiny tiny bit embarrassed.

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 3>And so what did they do when the judge asked,

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 3>is the investigation ongoing? Well, if they'd said no, they

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 3>would have looked like complete clowns given the massive evidence

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>that came out. So they said, oh, yes, yes, the

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 3>investigations ongoing, at which point Hunter Biden's lawyers began jumping

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>up and down because they believed that they had a

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>magic get out of jail free car.

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>A magic get out a jail free card that no

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 2>one else in this country I think would be able

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to get, especially now knowing what they were doing. This

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>is the other part that I think American Center are

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>so concerned about, is the lawlessness. Now, every time you

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 2>think it's the worst it could be with the Biden

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>crime family, we get more emails, we get more evidence,

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>we get new leaks, we get new whistleblowers, and yet

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>still that you know, David Weiss is in charge, the

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 2>guy who set up all the deals, who let the

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>statute of limitations run out, And so they say, Okay,

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 2>yes it's new, but is this really going to have

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>an impact? Now I'm going to ask you, does this

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>really change anything? Can it change the dynamic that this

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 2>is now the guy who's supposed to be investigating and

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>you can clearly point to you guys were screwing over

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>American justices in the entire time.

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Look, the idea that David Weiss is now the special

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 3>prosecutor is utterly absurd. David Weiss, when he was leading

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 3>this investigation, was prepared to sign off on zero charges

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 3>whatsoever for criminal conduct that Hunter Biden unquestionably had committed.

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 3>David Weiss was perfectly prepared to give not just the

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 3>sweetheart deal, but the super super sweetheart deal, the sweetheart

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 3>deal where Hunter Biden pleads guilty to nothing. That's what

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Weiss was prepared to do. And it was under Weiss's

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>leadership that the obstruction of justice occurred. That they gave

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.679
<v Speaker 3>repeatedly heads up to Hunter Biden to enable him to

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 3>frustrate the investigation. It was under David Weiss that that

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 3>DOJ officials inserted themselves into the investigation to make sure

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 3>that zero questions were asked about Joe Biden. That's the

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 3>most important thing to understand the objective of the Department

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 3>of Justice from day one was protect President Joe Biden.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 3>It was a political objective. And by the way, that

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 3>political objective is precisely the reason the special council law exists,

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 3>because when you have a political Attorney General like Merrick Garland,

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 3>they have political incentives, and so you're supposed to appoint

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 3>a special council when there's a conflict of interest like

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 3>that from outside the Department of Justice. As we discussed

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 3>in last week's pod, appointing David David Weiss is on

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>its face, objectively illegal because he is a sitting US

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>attorney so he doesn't meet the DOJ guidelines of being

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 3>from outside DOJ. But Merrick Garland wants him. He knows

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 3>he has his Patsy here. He knows he has a

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:50.079
<v Speaker 3>guy that will protect Joe Biden no matter what, and

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 3>and and sadly, and by the way, uh, if you

0:10:54.640 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 3>look at the draft wording of the agreement, let's let

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 3>me reduce some of it. The Department of Justice agrees

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 3>not to criminally prosecute Robert Hunter, Biden and the affiliated

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 3>businesses namely a Wassco, pc Osco LLC, and Scanitise LLC,

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 3>for any federal crimes arising from the conduct generally described

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 3>in the attached statement of facts, or for any other

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>federal crimes relating to matters investigated by the United States.

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>So understand this immunity that they were negotiating was it

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 3>was designed, and what these emails going back and forth

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 3>reveal it is that Hunter's lawyers were terrified that in

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 3>a couple of years there would be a Republican president

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 3>and you would have an Attorney General who was not

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 3>a Democrat partisan in a and that Hunter would actually

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 3>be prosecuted for what now was indisputably a repeat pattern

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 3>of felonies. And so their objective was give us an

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 3>agreement that we can use in two years to prevent

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 3>a subsequent attorney general from prosecuting us, and Merrick Garland

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 3>and David Weiss were more than happy to go along

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 3>with that.

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to tell you about our friends of her Chalk.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.959
<v Speaker 2>want to also cent or ask you about this. They

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 2>say that in these articles you'll get it says basically,

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 2>after Gary Shapley went public, everything changed. He comes out

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>goes public. We find out that that basically they gave

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 2>him the sweetheart deal. He was avoiding jail time. He

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>was going to get this quote global immunity deal in place.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>That didn't happen. Then you've got a chance for the

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 2>judge to look at it. That blew everything up. And

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>now some people are saying it's still a sham because,

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>as it's been described by several they've said, look, everything

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>on the surface screams that this is corruption. Yet everybody

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>that's still in charge of the case is part of

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the crime, cover up and protecting the Biden. So how

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>is there a way to change that? Well, it is

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>absolutely a sham. The person put in charge of investigating

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>it is the person who is alleged to have been

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 2>engaged in obstruction of justice. And look at the timeline.

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So May twenty fourth, Gary Shapley, who was the IRS

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>investigator supervising the Biden probe, he went public in an

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>interview with CBS News and said that the Justice Department

0:14:54.240 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 2>had slow walked the investigation. Just days later, the DOJ

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>lawyers changed the deal and they said the deal would

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 2>have to change and Biden would now need to plead

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 2>guilty to tax chargers. It was obvious the only reason

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 2>they were doing.

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 3>It is Shapley had now blown the whistle on that,

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 3>and Biden's team agreed. But let me read from the

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Politico art article because the timeline is really stunning. So

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 3>it was May twenty fourth that Shapley goes public on

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 3>CBS on the evening of June second, So just a

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 3>few days later, Clark, who's Hunter's lawyer, emailed Wolf. Leslie

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Wolf was the senior lawyer working for David Wise, who

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 3>was also a Democrat donor, who was also the one

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 3>that was actively tipping off Hunter. Biden's team allegedly accorded

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 3>the IRS whistleblowers as to the investigation that was happening.

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Who was also the one who directly blocked investigating Joe Biden.

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.200
<v Speaker 3>It was Leslie Wolf was really the point of the

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 3>spear on the obstruction that is alleged by the IRS whistleblowers.

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 3>But here's what Politico says. On the evening of June second,

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Clark emailed Wolf to tell her protection from prosecution was

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 3>vital to the deal. He sent along sample language saying

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 3>the United States would not prosecute Biden for quote, any

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 3>federal crimes arising from the conduct generally described in two

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 3>documents that be part of the final deal. Quote this

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 3>language or its functional equivalent is very critical to us,

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Clark added, Politico continues left unstated was a key implication

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 3>of a broad immunity provision. It would give Hunter Biden

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 3>a level of protection, a layer of protection if Trump

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 3>or another Republican won the twenty twenty four election and

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 3>ordered a wide ranging criminal investigation into the Biden family,

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 3>something Trump has repeatedly promised to do. Over the course

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 3>of a few more emails, lawyers on both sides kept

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 3>line editing the deal, and on June seventh, wolf this

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 3>is the DOJ lawyer who blocks investigations into Joe Biden.

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Wolfe sent Clark a version that included the final language

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:10.880
<v Speaker 3>shielding Biden from future charges. That that language, that agreement

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 3>is fundamentally corrupt it There is no innocuous explanation for

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 3>why before the whistleblowers come public, they're happy to bring

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 3>no charges at all and have no guilty please. After

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 3>the whistleblowers become public, they realize, oh, crap, that makes

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 3>us look like complete partisan hacks. So let's come up

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 3>with a way to even have the slap on the wrist.

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 3>They initially wanted no slap on the wrist at all.

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 3>They just wanted to kiss on the forehead. And now

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.439
<v Speaker 3>the people Merrick Garland is put in charge of this

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 3>are the people who were the ones blocking the investigation

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:55.639
<v Speaker 3>in the first place.

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 2>You combine this center with some new intel that's coming

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 2>out of Parently this week. It was teased by your

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 2>good friend someone we had on the show for a

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 2>two part series. If you missed it, go back and

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 2>listen to it with Representative James Comer. But he came

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.879
<v Speaker 2>out and talked about the Vice President, Joe Biden, in essence,

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 2>had not just a burner phone that we learned about

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.159
<v Speaker 2>recently and a journalist that call that phone and the

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>president actually picked up.

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>But there's also these.

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Apparently burner email addresses and a burner account for people

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that may not understand that analogy is a phone that

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 2>you don't want anybody else to know that you have

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 2>that would be somewhat untraceable. Burner email accounts are email

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 2>accounts that you set up specifically so they will not

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.919
<v Speaker 2>be connected to you, to send or receive messages to

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.440
<v Speaker 2>those aliases, to those email accounts that are not officially

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 2>connected you, so no one even know to look there

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 2>if they ever found them. Now, how do we know

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.880
<v Speaker 2>about these when we know about them now from Hunter

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Biden's laptop and we know some of these aliases were

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the president and the Vice President went by, was Robin Ware,

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Robert L.

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Peters, and j. RB Ware.

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Now the point that matters is these email addresses weren't

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 2>just set up, but they were used to keep his son,

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Biden informed on his communications as the official vice

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 2>president and the point man on Ukraine, to keep his

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 2>son informed the communications that he as the vice president,

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 2>which would be official government relations representing the United States

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 2>of America with Ukraine. Your initial reaction to that bomb

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 2>show as well.

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Look, look, it's stunning. I've never seen anything remotely like that.

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.159
<v Speaker 3>The President of the United States having a burner phone

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.479
<v Speaker 3>so that he can he can hide and communicate. What

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.679
<v Speaker 3>that suggests is that he knows he's committing criminal conduct.

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 3>The President of the United States having burner emails, false emails,

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.400
<v Speaker 3>fake emails, Holy cow, have you ever heard anything remotely

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.959
<v Speaker 3>like that? And to be clear, these fake emails are

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 3>not to sign up for magazine subscriptions. These fake emails

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 3>were used to email Hunter Biden about Ukraine. And by

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 3>the way, it was the same Ukraine where Bisma was

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 3>paying Hunter eighty three thousand dollars a month in order

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:23.120
<v Speaker 3>to get favors from Joe Biden. And so look, when

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 3>someone attempts to hide their conduct, when someone creates a

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 3>fake name, when someone uses a burner phone, particularly in

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 3>a high government office, that is indicative of an awareness

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 3>that what you're doing is at a minimum shady as

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 3>hell and an all likelihood illegal and criminal. It is

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 3>I am not aware of any precedent for any president

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 3>doing what we now know Joe Biden has done in

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 3>order to communicate with Hunter Biden about Ukraine. It also

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 3>demonstrates that Joe Biden's repeated statements that he never talked

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 3>about Hunter's business in Ukraine is just a flat out lie.

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's now not even the tiniest fig leaf

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 3>to pretend to defend those false statements Joe Biden made

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 3>over and over and over again to the American people.

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to play part of what James Comer had

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 2>to say when he was talking to Maria Bartromo on

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Fox this morning and also telegraphing that there is more

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>money and more bank account information that they're going to

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 2>be releasing soon.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>But first listen to that part about the emails.

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 4>I want to get the state of affairs of your investigation,

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 4>given we have a new special Council now in the

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:43.400
<v Speaker 4>Hunter Biden investigation. But first let's discuss these pseudonyms or

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 4>alias names.

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 1>What exactly have you learned.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 5>Well, we've learned that Joe Biden used at least three

0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:55.959
<v Speaker 5>pseudonyms or fake names in emails that he was receiving

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 5>from people within the federal government, people that worked for him.

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 5>And even more troubling than that, Maria, we've learned that

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:08.160
<v Speaker 5>when he was receiving emails pertaining to Ukraine, his son

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 5>Hunter was copied on them, which we've always heard that

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 5>The White House has said that Hunter Biden wasn't an

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 5>employee of the government. He wasn't any part of the government.

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 5>They couldn't understand why House Republicans on the Oversight Committee

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 5>were investigating Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, because

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 5>Hunter wasn't a part of the government. If that were true,

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 5>then why was he receiving emails from the government.

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, this also pertains to the firing of the special

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 4>prosecutor in Ukraine, Victor Choken, was that what these emails

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 4>were about, because you have told us in the past

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 4>that that was one decision you were looking at as

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 4>far as a decision that Joe Biden may have been

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 4>paid for to get involved in getting that prosecutor off

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 4>the back of Barisma.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 5>I think the evidence is mounting every day to proof

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 5>that Joe Biden went to Ukraine for the sole purpose

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 5>of firing Shokun, who was the Ukrainian prosecutor who was

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 5>investigating his son for corruption. What we heard in the

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 5>transcribed interview with Devin Archer was that he said that

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 5>the owners of Barisma were squeezing Hunter, saying we need

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 5>help in Washington. You need to call Washington for help.

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.399
<v Speaker 5>Of course, the Democrats tried to say that, well, that

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 5>could have been anybody in Washington. Well, what we've now

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 5>learned is Joe Biden was using a fake email name

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 5>to receive correspondence from his staff that he was copying

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 5>Hunter Biden on and I believe Maria that Hunter had

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:37.240
<v Speaker 5>to prove value to the Barisma owners that they were

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 5>working on this, so he was forwarding those to the

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 5>owners of Barisma.

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Look, this is obvious that Joe Biden.

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 5>Abused his power as Vice president for the sole purpose

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 5>to protect his son who was receiving millions and millions

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 5>of dollars from this corrupt Ukrainian energy company. And this

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 5>email ties Joe Biden and Hunter Biden into this corruption

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 5>scheme without a shadow of a doubt.

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.439
<v Speaker 4>Well, it also is quite interesting that Hunter Biden is

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 4>even c seed on any of these emails. This was

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 4>government business, right, This was.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent government business.

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 5>Again, the Democrats in the White House have claimed that

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Hunter Biden and Joe Biden had a wall, a firewall

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 5>between their business affairs. And again, Maria, as you know,

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 5>there are no legitimate businesses here. The Biden family were

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:28.399
<v Speaker 5>receiving payments from bad people in bad countries.

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Around the world.

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 5>And what we've been trying to do is figure out why,

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 5>why in the world would the Biden family receive over

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 5>twenty million dollars from foreign nationals around the world. And

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 5>this is evidence to show that Joe Biden was communicating

0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 5>with his son. He was making sure that his son,

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 5>you he was on his way to Ukraine. Remember, the

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 5>timeline of these emails show that Joe Biden was in

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 5>root from Washington to Ukraine for the sole purpose of

0:24:55.880 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 5>withholding foreign a to Ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor.

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 5>And we know that happened, and we know Joe Biden

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.920
<v Speaker 5>accepted credit for it. He did an interview where he said, well,

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 5>son of a Bee, they fired the prosecutor before I

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 5>got on the plane and left Ukraine. Joe Biden, in

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 5>his own words, said that, So now we have evidence

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:19.679
<v Speaker 5>that Joe Biden and his administration was communicating with Hunter Biden.

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:23.200
<v Speaker 5>They knew Hunter Biden was affiliated with Ukraine. That's another line, Maria.

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 5>Joe Biden said he didn't even know Hunter was on

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 5>the BARISHMA board for a long time. This is another line.

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 5>They were copying Hunter and the only emails we've seen

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.640
<v Speaker 5>were they were copying Hunter were pertaining the Ukraine at

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 5>a critical time when Joe Biden was going there to

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:41.400
<v Speaker 5>fire the prosecutor in Chachel four and eight.

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>That's called a quid pro quote.

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 2>That's called a quid pro quote. That's something we've said

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot, but this is on a different level. Is

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 2>it not illegal if you're sharing information that is going

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 2>to profit your family member or even a friend, if

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 2>you are in charge of before policy and sitting in

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 2>the Oval office on a daily basis as a vice

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 2>president and you're seeing your son from a burner email account. Hey,

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 2>here's where we are. Let your buddies know at Barisma. Hey,

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 2>here's where we are with the fire and the prosecutor.

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Let your employer know at Barisma, and don't forget get

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:17.399
<v Speaker 2>them to send me the money.

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm the big guy.

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:24.840
<v Speaker 3>It is absolutely illegal to personally profit to sell favors

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 3>when you were in office, and the evidence is mounting

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 3>every day that that's what Joe Biden was in the

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:37.080
<v Speaker 3>business of doing. There is no legitimate explanation for why

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.920
<v Speaker 3>government employees would be CEE seeing Hunter Biden and emailing

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Biden about Ukraine and doing so over and over

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 3>and over again. Hunter Biden did not have a legitimate

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 3>government reason to be looped in on the Ukrainian discussions.

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 3>But you know what he did have. He did have

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 3>a business reason because Barisma was paying him for that

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of access. And you know, when daddy's vice president,

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 3>you can get looped in on exactly what the administration

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 3>plans to do. And it is astonishing. There is no

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 3>innocent explanation for why Joe Biden was using fake email

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 3>names on these emails. If this were above board, presumably

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden's actual name would be on there. This is

0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 3>the government. I've never heard of within the government government

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 3>emails going to an officeholder and using a fake alias.

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:34.120
<v Speaker 1>The lies that.

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 3>Keep going out are over and over and over again.

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you another one. March twenty twenty two, David

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Weiss took the case to the US attorney for DC,

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Matt Graves. Now Matt Graves. It was and is a

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Biden appointee. He had been a political donor to Joe Biden,

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 3>so he was a partisan Democrat. And Matt Graves, the

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 3>US attorney said, no, we will not bring a case

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:01.959
<v Speaker 3>in d which is where you could have gotten stricter

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 3>punishment because the more serious criminal tax offenses occurred in DC.

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 3>Matt Graves said no. The very same day that Hunter's

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 3>team of lawyers was meeting with the prosecutors. And this

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 3>was April twenty six, twenty twenty two. Merrick Garland was

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 3>testifying before a Senate Appropriation subcommittee that quote, there will

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 3>not be interference of any political or improper kind. That's

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 3>a flat out lie. It was a political appointee, Matt Graves,

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 3>a donor to Joe Biden, who blocked charges against Hunter

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 3>in d C. It was another political appointee, the US

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Attorney for the Central District of California, who blocked charges there,

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and that US attorney had been a donor to Kamala Harris.

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.480
<v Speaker 3>And so what Merrick Garland said that there was no

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 3>political interference is objectively false. And yet this administration doesn't

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 3>acknowledge the lies they keep getting caught in. They just

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 3>keep making them over and over and over again.

0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. If you are

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a conservative like I am, and you are sick and

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 2>tired of giving your money to woke companies, there is

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 2>an option out with your cell phone provider. And for years,

0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>big mobile companiess have been dumping millions in the leftist causes,

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 2>and we had to deal with it because there was

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>no other option.

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:38.080

<v Speaker 1>Senator.

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I also want to ask you about the financial aspects

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 2>of what we're now learning. James Comer, he telegraphed to

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 2>us when we interviewed him that they were expecting it

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to be I think he said at that point at

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 2>least thirty million that they are going to be able

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>to trace directly going into the shell companies of the

0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Biden family. That number in the last week has jumped

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to it looks like fifty to sixty million. And he

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 2>even said coming up this week and it may happen.

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 2>He said, this week, we're going to release more bank

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 2>records with more money that came in to the Biden family.

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 2>We don't know what countries. We don't know if it's

0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 2>the same countries, more from Russia, are Ukraine or Romania,

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 2>We don't know that. But there's more money coming in.

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Is there a certain point here where the financial gains

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Bidens could be so great that the media

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and Washington cannot look the other way any longer.

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, it does say something that both the New York

0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Times and Politico we're willing to report on this, that

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:48.840
<v Speaker 3>they're finally acknowledging that this evidence stinks and look just like,

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 3>there's no legitimate reason for Joe Biden have a burner phone.

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 3>There's no legitimate reason for him to have fake emails.

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 3>There's no legitimate reason for government employees to eb emailing

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Hunter Biden about Ukraine about confidential disc ushs about Ukraine.

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 3>There's no legitimate reason for Joe Biden to use his

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 3>fake emails on those emails to Hunter about Ukraine. There's

0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 3>also no legitimate reason for them to have over twenty

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 3>shell companies, companies that don't make anything, company that don't

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 3>have employees, companies that are not real companies. They're simply

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 3>that they're simply vehicles for money laundering. And it's worth

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 3>noting that the defense that that the Bidens are making

0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 3>so one of the things the IRS whistleblower said is

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 3>that Chris Clark, Hunter Biden's defense lawyer told the DOJ

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 3>lawyers quote that if they charge Hunter Biden, they would

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 3>be committing quote, career suicide. That's not subtle, that is

0:32:54.880 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 3>very explicit. We have political power, and that political power

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:03.719
<v Speaker 3>is going to protect Joe Biden. It doesn't matter if

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 3>he's taken bribes. It doesn't matter if he's solicited bribes.

0:33:07.720 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't matter if he had his son or engage

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 3>in illegal money laundering. It doesn't matter if they are

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 3>selling favors from the vice president of the United States

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 3>and perhaps now at the President of the United States.

0:33:20.720 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>That is.

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Utterly transparent. But you know what it isn't. It isn't justice,

0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 3>it isn't law enforcement, It isn't faithfully applying the law.

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 3>It is instead corruption.

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 2>It's corruption at a level that I'm not sure we've

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 2>ever seen. I was flying today and I was watching

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 2>this new show that's out about Watergate, and it was

0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 2>very interesting to watch. And they were depicting how Watergate

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:50.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of went down and behind the scenes in the

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:54.480
<v Speaker 2>White House and Gi Gordon, LYDDI, etc. And how they

0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 2>were trying to pull it off, and then what happened

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:00.479
<v Speaker 2>obviously when they got caught and to cover up with it.

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 2>And if you compare Watergate and I was watching HBO show,

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 2>go check it out, it's very entertaining. If you compare

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 2>what they were doing and Watergate and you put it

0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>next to on a spreadsheet what we're talking about right now,

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fair to say there's absolutely no comparison

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 2>between the two. Like what we're talking about now is

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>nothing compared to Watergate. And Watergate was the worst political scandal,

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:34.080
<v Speaker 2>quote in American political modern history, and the whole world

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:36.760
<v Speaker 2>stop to watch it and people went to jail.

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Meanwhile, you look at what we have right now.

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.920
<v Speaker 2>No one's going to jail, and the people that are

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be the protectors of this country are protecting

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the Bidens instead of this country. Does that shock you

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 2>in a way that we've gone so far from one

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 2>way to the other.

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, we've seen too many of our institutions become fundamentally corrupt.

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 3>With Watergate, there was criminality. There was criminality that extended

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.360
<v Speaker 3>all the way up to the Attorney General of the

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 3>United States, to the President of the United States, the

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Chief of Staff of the United States, to senior White

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:13.920
<v Speaker 3>House officials. But the system worked, and you had Number

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 3>One Congress that began investigations. And critically, the reason the

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:23.319
<v Speaker 3>system worked is because there were Republicans who turned on

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Richard Nixon, who looked at his criminal conduct and said,

0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 3>this is too much, we can't support this. There has

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 3>not been a single Democrat member of Congress express even

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:40.680
<v Speaker 3>the tiniest bit of interest in knowing whether or not

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:44.279
<v Speaker 3>the President of the United States has solicited and received

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:49.359
<v Speaker 3>millions of dollars of bribes from foreign nationals in exchange

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 3>for official government favors. In other words, is the president

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:58.280
<v Speaker 3>such a crook that he's getting bribes and bribes from

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:04.839
<v Speaker 3>corrupt foreign oligarchs. I mean, those are incredibly serious allegations.

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 3>And to be clear, these allegations are made with significant

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:11.400
<v Speaker 3>evidence a confidential human source who called the FBI and

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 3>and who is the source for the ft ten twenty three.

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Unlike Watergate, no one of the president's own party cares

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 3>to even know the answer. Also, in Watergate, you had

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.840
<v Speaker 3>journalists who actually would do their jobs. Woodward and Bernstein

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 3>at the Washington Post. They pursued this like a dogged bone. Today,

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 3>the Washington Post, the New York Times, their investigative journalists,

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:39.319
<v Speaker 3>by and large, ignore all of this. Now, they just

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:43.319
<v Speaker 3>were handed two hundred pages of confidential emails and given that,

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 3>given that leak, that they finally decided to write a

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.400
<v Speaker 3>story in the New York Times in Politico. But that

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 3>exception proves the rule. And let's be clear, in Watergate,

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the Attorney General John Mitchell was sentenced to and serve

0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.759
<v Speaker 3>twenty two months in jail. I think Merrick Garland has

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.760
<v Speaker 3>real criminal exposure. I believe there should be a special

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 3>counsel investigating Merrick Garland, and I believe the House should

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 3>be pursuing impeachment of Merrick Garland. But right now, the

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:15.400
<v Speaker 3>media has been corrupted and the Democrat Party, there is

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 3>not even a single Democrat who has shown the integrity

0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:24.440
<v Speaker 3>to care whether the president is soliciting or has solicited

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 3>and received millions of dollars of bribes.

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about your retirement for a moment. If you

0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 2>are like me and you've been watching what's going on

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:34.319
<v Speaker 2>in the markets, you've been watching interest rates that just

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.839
<v Speaker 2>hit a twenty one year high, and you're thinking about

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>your retirement account. You may be close to retirement, you

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 2>may be planning for retirement. You actually may be in

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the middle of retirement, and your number one goal is

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 2>to protect what you've earned and what you've saved, because

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you know there's no time to make up losses, especially

0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're in retirement or coost retirement. Well, that is

0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 2>where many are turning to gold, and my friends at

0:38:57.200 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It's the first one.

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's not going to be there, but all those

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Republicans on the stage, they're going to be focusing on

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the guy in the middle of the stage, and that's

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be Ronda Santis.

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 1>That's normal.

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:12.680
<v Speaker 2>My question for you because you have done these debates

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and you know how important they are and how they

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 2>can separate you from the crowd, and you had some

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 2>incredible debates that really helped your campaign. What is the

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 2>strategy going to be and what would your strategy be

0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:30.839
<v Speaker 2>on stage this week with dealing with this Hunter Biden information.

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Do you make this election about this and say if

0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I am elected, this is what I'm going to do,

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 2>and how hard would you play that or would you

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 2>what would this strategy be for if you were on

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 2>this stage this week.

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, debates are frequently pivotal moments in presidential campaigns, and

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 3>one of the reasons they are is there one of

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 3>the very few events that that you get so many

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:02.920
<v Speaker 3>eyeballs while that you have the ability a candidate has

0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 3>the ability to communicate with the voters, going over the

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 3>heads of the media gatekeepers. When you're running for president

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 3>as a Republican, it is incredibly frustrating that you'll go

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 3>and give a speech on the stump and the news

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:20.920
<v Speaker 3>stations won't cover it, the newspapers won't write about it.

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 3>If you roll out a policy proposals over and over again,

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 3>they'll ignore it. And the advantage of a debate is

0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 3>you have a chance to talk directly to the voters. Look,

0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:32.800
<v Speaker 3>you and I and many of the listeners a verdict

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 3>are following what's happening in the presidential campaign. We know

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 3>who the candidates are. Most Americans don't. Most Americans are

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 3>not following this day to day closely, and so this

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 3>debate will be the first opportunity for millions of Americans

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 3>and millions of Republican primary voters to see these candidates,

0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:55.160
<v Speaker 3>to hear them and to hear how they exchange. Now,

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:57.960
<v Speaker 3>every candidate's going to go in with a different objective.

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:00.799
<v Speaker 3>You're right, Ron DeSantis has a target on him. He

0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:05.520
<v Speaker 3>is universally seen as as as the number two candidates,

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:11.080
<v Speaker 3>as Trump's strongest opposition, which means everyone else on that stage,

0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 3>if they want to have a chance at winning, they

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:17.600
<v Speaker 3>got to take out DeSantis. I expect a lot of

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 3>shots directed at de Santas. We'll see how how Ron

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 3>does defending himself from defending himself from from those shots.

0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 3>It will be very interesting to see how each of

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 3>the candidates responds to Donald Trump. Some of them I

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.760
<v Speaker 3>expect to defend Trump vigorously. All of them are virtually

0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 3>all of them are going to say that the investigations

0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:45.680
<v Speaker 3>from the Biden DOJ represent a double standard of justice

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and a politicization of justice. You will see some like

0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Chris Christy, who I expect will blast Trump full throatedly,

0:41:54.960 --> 0:42:01.000
<v Speaker 3>and each candidate they're looking for a moment debate. Often

0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 3>it's a small thing that that people remember. It's it's

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 3>a comment you know, Ronald Reagan. You know, there you

0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:16.200
<v Speaker 3>go again. It's their small moments in debates that that

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 3>that are zingers. You know, if you look at the

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:23.960
<v Speaker 3>debate the vice presidential debate between Lloyd Benson and Dan Quayle,

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, you know. Dan Quayle was was comparing himself

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:30.360
<v Speaker 3>to to to John F. Kennedy and saying he was

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the same age as John F. Kennedy and and Lloyd

0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Benson turned to him and and and and said, Dan,

0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I knew John Kennedy. John Kennedy was my friend. And Dan,

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 3>You're no John Kennedy. That that was devastating moments like that.

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Each of the candidates, presumably is working with a debate

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:54.319
<v Speaker 3>prep team. Different candidates do it different ways. Most of

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:56.879
<v Speaker 3>them do some form of a mock where they get

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 3>people to pretend to be the other candidates and they

0:42:59.120 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 3>go through and practice.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Is it, but.

0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:05.800
<v Speaker 3>We will see. I think there there will be opportunities.

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:09.000
<v Speaker 3>One of the big questions is going to be how

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:13.000
<v Speaker 3>does desantistu because because he is the number two right now,

0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:16.000
<v Speaker 3>and so if he does really well, he could get stronger.

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:20.680
<v Speaker 3>If he stumbles, that presents an opening for for other candidates.

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:24.200
<v Speaker 3>A second question a lot of people are going to

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:29.800
<v Speaker 3>be looking to is is who shines, Who has a

0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:33.279
<v Speaker 3>a moment that that sparkles You know, Tim Scott can

0:43:33.320 --> 0:43:36.239
<v Speaker 3>be a wonderful orator. He may have a moment that

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:39.840
<v Speaker 3>that that that that catches some sizzle. Uh. Vivek Ramaswami

0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:43.360
<v Speaker 3>is is very smart, has been having some strong moments

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 3>out on the stump. I could easily see Vivek having

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 3>a moment in the debate that that that that goes viral,

0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:52.080
<v Speaker 3>and and and so all of them are going to

0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:53.719
<v Speaker 3>be looking for those moments.

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be very interesting.

0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:57.080
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have one hell of a week here

0:43:57.080 --> 0:44:00.520
