1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Seven hundred and sixty nine days two elections. And finally, 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: those in the mainstream media who've been lying to you 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: for seven hundred and sixty nine days and two elections 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: have now basically all come out and admitted the same 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: exact week of Thanksgiving that the Hunter Biden laptop story 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: is real. In other words, they got it wrong the 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: entire time. Why are they doing this because we're seeing 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: more and more information about just how corrupt the deep 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: state was, the FBI, the DOJ, the White House, and 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: everybody else around the Hunter Biden story were. Elon Musk 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: has also come out saying it's time for Twitter to 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: release the logs on censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story, 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: and he says it needs to be done to restore 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: the public's trust in Twitter. The richest man in the 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: world made these remarks on the latest appeal to conservatives, 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: saying just show us what actually happened behind the scenes. 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: Elon Musk reveals that he believes that his company should 18 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: release the chat logs regarding the decision to restrict sharing. 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: The New York Time New York excuse me, The New 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: York Post article on Hunter Biden in the laptop must 21 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: responded to a tweet from conservatives asking for the new 22 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: owner of Twitter to look into the company's decision not 23 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: to allow people to actually tweet out the post story 24 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: and what does that actually mean. It's a brilliant move, 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: by the way, for Musk just saying, hey, I think 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: we need some transparency here. Now let's talk about the media. 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: The media has also now come out after the fact 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,639 Speaker 1: and said, Okay, maybe we got it wrong. Seven hundred 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: and sixty nine days and two elections, after they got 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: the victories on the field they wanted, which was Joe 31 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: Biden elected and Democrats to keep control of the Senate. 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: They got rid of Donald Trump in the process. So 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: why is this happening? Joe Kancham, who's the media expert 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: at Fox News Channel, explained it this way. Well, after 35 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: the game's over, right, like an official in the press 36 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: conference after the game tells a losing team, Yeah, you know, 37 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: we may have screwed that one up, but you still 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: get the l Right. That's what we've seen here and 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story. Dan that that is the 40 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: biggest example. I mean, CBS News to quote Detective John 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: McClain and Diehard, welcome to the party pal because to 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: your point, I've been keeping track. Let's see, that is 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty nine days and two elections after 44 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: the New York Past originally broke this story that CBS 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: came forward, and you're right about Leslie Stall. I mean 46 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: she laughed at President Trump at the time where he said, 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: you have to investigate this story. You're sixty minutes and 48 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to your points, she said, oh no, it can't be verified. 49 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: And instead you had CBS, The New York Times, Washington Post, 50 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: CNN all running with this narrative that was provided to 51 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: them by fifty one former intelligence officers. From John Brennan 52 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: who's currently with MSNBC. You can't tell the difference between 53 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: him than Keith Hoperman now at this point and John 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: Brennan who's with CNN, former Director of National Intelligence and 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: all those other intelligence officers said this is Russian disinformation. 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: Oh did they get a look at the laptop? Did 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: they review the evidence or was it hair standing on 58 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: the back of their neck? And oh, by the way, 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: there's an election in two weeks, so we better run 60 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: with that narrative. And the media took a hook line 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: and sinker. Now here's the worst part Dan. When hearings 62 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: begin on January third, when the new Congress comes in, 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna see the media do the same exact thing. 64 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: They're going to dismiss the story. They're gonna mock this story. 65 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna call it being political weaponization. And trust me, 66 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: if this was Eric Trump or Donald Trump Junior, I 67 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: have a felling. We'd need another hour to add to 68 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: twenty four seven news coverage covering the story, seven hundred 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: and sixty nine days and two elections. And then the 70 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: media decides, Yeah, we're gonna tell you the story is real. 71 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: The story is true. Stephen Colbert said Hunter Biden's laptop 72 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: is the number one cause of inflation according to some experts. 73 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: In his monologue, kind of laughing about the entire thing, though, 74 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: even though it's real, they're saying, that's not really something 75 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: to worry about. Tomorrow, this being Wednesday, as we all know, 76 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It's a special time when we gather 77 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: with family and friends to share our gratitude through America's 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: traditional expression of love, the food Comma. This year, your 79 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving might look a little different because prices are up 80 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: on almost everything from frozen pie crusts, to pumpkin pie 81 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: mix to a dozen dinner rolls. Where there goes my 82 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: favorite dessert, a dozen dinner rolls. These high prices are 83 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: caused by a variety of factors, including the war in Ukraine, 84 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: high fuel prices, but the number one factor, according to 85 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: experts is hudser Biden's laptop. So even CBS and Stephen 86 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: Colbert admitting, all right, it's real, but let's mock it 87 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: in the process, right, we'll laugh about how ridiculous it 88 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: is that any of anybody would care about the laptop 89 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: and mock Republicans and those that actually care about the issue, 90 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: claiming that that's why the prices of inflation have gone up. 91 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Ah See, this is such a funny story. We don't 92 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: even have to take it seriously, because why would we? 93 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Of course, right, because it's such a funny story. It's 94 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: so hilarious that it's not a real story. Why are 95 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: they doing this now? Because they understand just how real 96 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: the story actually is and how much trouble it could 97 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: be for the president of the United States of America. 98 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: That's why there's another article out CBS News titled this 99 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: copy of what is believed to be Hunter Biden's laptop 100 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: data turned over by repair shop to FBI show no tampering. 101 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: Analysts say this is their headline on the week of Thanksgiving, 102 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: November the twenty first. You probably didn't see it, and 103 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: there's a reason why you didn't see it because they 104 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: didn't want you to actually know what's there. Catherine Heritage, 105 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: former Fox News person, CBS News and Graham kates they 106 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: wanted us to be a serious, though response, so that 107 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: you knew that they're actually covering the story on CBS 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: News the week of Thanksgiving. Of course, when you're checked out, 109 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: many of you may have totally missed CBS News seven 110 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: hundred Let's go backwards seven hundred plus days later, two 111 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: elections later, now giving you a real, deep, in depth 112 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: look at the Hunter Biden laptop. Welcome back to CBS 113 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: Mornings here at seven thirty. And as Republicans take control 114 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: of the House, Hunter Biden, the President's sign will be 115 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: a target for investigations, and that means data from a 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: laptop reported to belong to Biden could be crucial to 117 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: the investigatory process. CBS News has obtained its data not 118 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: through a third party or political operative, but directly from 119 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: the source who told us they provided it to the 120 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: FBI under subpoena, and we missioned an independent forensic review 121 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: to determine its authenticity. Senior investigative correspondent Katherine Harris joins 122 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: us now with what we found. Katherine, I'm very interesting. 123 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Tony. These House Republican investigations are 124 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: coming and that could be a challenge for the White 125 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: House as we head into twenty twenty three and twenty 126 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: twenty four. The laptop data we had analyzed showed no 127 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: evidence it was faked or tampered with. Digital forensic investigator 128 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Mark Lanterman was previously a member of a Secret Service 129 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: electronic Crimes task force. There was one thing that got 130 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: my attention, and that was a voicemail stared called loving 131 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: more than the whole world health kind of get some help. 132 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: That voicemail, apparently from Joe Biden during his son Hunter's 133 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: drug addiction, is one of many findings Lanterman used to 134 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: authenticate what is believed to be Hunter Biden's laptop data. 135 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: Your competent, based on your analysis, this is Hunter Biden's 136 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: data and that it's real. Yes, yes, CBS News, When 137 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: are we gonna tell you this seven hundred plus days later, 138 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: after two different elections have happened. Then we'll tell you 139 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: the week of Thanksgiving, when we know our viewership is 140 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: at an all time low for the year, that this 141 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: is real. That's when we're gonna tell you, because we're 142 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: real journalists now. Now, Democrats also in the Daily Beasts 143 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: fighting back now saying that they're ready for the GOP 144 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: to make Hunter Biden the new Benghazi again, trying to 145 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: push the narrative that this is a joke the same 146 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: way that Stephen Colbert was laughing, saying, the reason why 147 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: you're Thanksgiving dinner costs so much is because we're gonna 148 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: blame Hunter Biden's laptop for it. And that's funny. Yahoo 149 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: News putting out the article from the Daily Beasts and 150 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: this is what they said. It's not Hunter Biden's scalp 151 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: they want. Rather, the House GOP Caucus is poised to 152 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: launch a two year crusade tarnish President Joe Biden's character 153 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: lower his poll numbers, just like they did with Hillary 154 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: Clinton and the mcgozzi hearings prior to the two sixteen election. See, 155 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: none of this could actually be about corruption. This is 156 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: all about politics. Brilliant way to make sure the American 157 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: people don't pay attention to the Hunter Biden laptop story. 158 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: Things are different, that's time around the dailybast rights. Democrats 159 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: aren't going to assume that voters can see through the 160 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: partisanid bluster and are now mounting a war room operation 161 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: outside the White House, the Congressional Integrity Project. We'll try 162 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: to fend off the Republican barrage and go on the 163 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: offensive and the information war. The existence of the newly 164 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: revamped group, first reported by Politico, is an effort to 165 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: mount a twenty first century war room with a response 166 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: team that can expose the political intentions behind the investigation 167 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: targeting the White House.

There the 172 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: GOP saying it's it is plain English. They're trying to 173 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: hurt Joe Biden. Is the Trump playbook of personal attacks. Again, 174 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: smart move right say the story isn't a story when 175 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: it actually is a story. And then maybe the media 176 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: can justify not covering it, acting like all right, well, 177 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: already told you what this is about.

I don't care even 210 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: about his laptop. What I do care about is the 211 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: information on it that ties it to Joe Biden. And 212 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: we have to be very smart because the Democrats are 213 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: going to try to make this as I just mentioned, 214 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: and they're telling you exactly what their plan is. They're 215 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: going to try to make this about a totally different issue, 216 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: which is you guys, just going to hurt Joe Biden. 217 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: That this is partisan hackery, that's all it is. That's 218 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: how they want this to play out, They're going to 219 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: try to act like it's Republicans that are bullying on 220 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: the issue. And that's the problem here. Now, if we're smart, 221 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: we don't ever talk about Hunter Biden moving forward. We 222 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: talk about Joe Biden. We talk about the big guy, 223 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: and we don't let up on the big guy. Now, 224 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: let me also remind you just something about the media 225 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: from seven hundred plus days ago, when the Hunter Biden 226 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: laptop story broke, they mocked it. They called it Russian disinformation, 227 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: which is exactly what the FBI did when they went 228 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: to Facebook and Twitter and said, don't tell the story, right, 229 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: That's what they did. Silence the story, shut up on 230 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,479 Speaker 1: this story. They fed the media this, They fed the disinformation. 231 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: They knew it was real, they knew it was actual intelligence. 232 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: They knew that it was authentic, and they just didn't 233 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: want it to come out because they knew how damning 234 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: it was going to be if it came out. And 235 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: so instead of that, right, instead of instead of telling 236 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: you the truth, they mocked the story, which is exactly 237 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: what they're doing now. Now this was seven hundred days ago. Listen, 238 00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: go ahead, no, no, I probably best they don't Obviously, 239 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: we're not going with the New York Post story right 240 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: now on Hunter Biden. This is really one of the 241 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: stupidest stock to oper surprises I've ever seen. It helps 242 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: to really view this as storytelling, not so much as 243 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: news coverage, but as political entertainment. NPR explained, we don't 244 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: want to waste our time on stories that are not 245 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: really stories. Who even thought to make that story up. 246 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: It's a story that many intelligence experts say has all 247 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: the hallmarks of a foreign interference campaign. Looks like it's 248 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: tied to Vladimir Putin in Moscow. This is a Russian 249 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: intelligence disinformation campaigns, foreign intelligence operations, foreign intelligence operation, Russian intelligendi. 250 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Giuliani was not fed passively Russian disinformation. He ordered off 251 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: the menu. And this is a classic example of the 252 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: right wing media machine. And he's in the midst of 253 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: a scandal's taking. We should not Hunter Biden isn't running 254 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: for president. That argument has been debunked. There is no 255 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong. Well, we know 256 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: these emails are made up. It just lacks credibility. Okay, no, 257 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: we're not gonna do You'll work for you. So the 258 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: game plan has not changed for Democrats. The only difference 259 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: is they were able to win two elections stall seven 260 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: hundred days before they told you the truth, and now 261 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: that they've told you the truth, they're still gonna mock 262 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: it the same way that Stephen Colbert mocked it earlier. 263 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: Now there is a there is a huge okay hold 264 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: that they're going to fall in here if Republicans go 265 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: back to Hunter Biden. This cannot be about Hunter Biden. 266 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: This is exactly, by the way, why Congressman Comber is 267 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: very smart and Jim Jordan very smart to say we're 268 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: keeping Hunter out of this. Basically, this is not about 269 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. This is about the president of the United 270 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: States of America running a criminal enterprise out of the 271 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Vice president to residence and now the White House. You 272 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: said that Joe Biden personally participated in meetings and phone calls, 273 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: and you have documents that Joe who was a partner 274 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: with access to an office, and that Joe is in 275 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: fact clearly the big guy. What else can you tell 276 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: us about this? And how much money are we talking 277 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: about the family maid? Well, we're talking about millions of 278 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: dollars that went to Hunter Biden. And as you showed 279 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: with the text message Hunter complained about having to keep 280 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: his family up. Hunter complained that Boe was the golden 281 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: child and that no one appreciated the fact that he 282 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: paid his dad's living expenses. So there's evidence from Hunter 283 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Biden himself to suggest that Joe Biden was directly benefiting 284 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: from the millions of dollars Hunter was getting from these 285 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: shady business deals. But even worse, we showed emails today 286 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: where Hunter Biden emailed the landlord of an office for 287 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: a business he was starting with his dad. He said 288 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: his dad was gonna get a ten percent equity stake 289 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: in a business that was to help China get their 290 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: foot in the door on the American natural gas industry. 291 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: So the amazing thing is Joe Biden was working with 292 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden to help China get a leg up on 293 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: our American energy industry and he was a part of that. 294 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: This is something that he's lied about his involvement. He's 295 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: lied about his knowledge, and we need to invest in 296 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: the eight that because this is an issue of national security. 297 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: He's right, we have to investigate this because it's an 298 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: issue of national security. Notice, he was talking about Joe 299 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: Biden the entire time there. This is not about Hunter Biden, right, 300 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: This is about Joe Biden. This is about him offering 301 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: anybody access to United States of America. Represent comer on 302 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden pro make it clear the Bidens became millionaire. 303 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: It's not Hunter Biden. Joe Biden. The Biden family simply 304 00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: became millionaires by simply offering access to his father's position 305 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: of power in and within the United States government. Committee 306 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: Republicans have identified over fifty countries the Biden families sought 307 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: businesses in. On the international side of the Biden family business, 308 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: the deals were often led by Hunter Biden, and that 309 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: map there behind clay shows all the countries where the 310 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Bidens had a footprint in international business dealings. The investigation 311 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: reveals a family that engaged with some of America's most 312 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: powerful adversaries, planning to sell one of the largest sources 313 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: of cobalt for electric vehicles in the world to the Chinese, 314 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: for example. The Bidens flourished and became millionaires by simply 315 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: offering access to the family. Among the dozens of shell 316 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: companies the Biden set up, there were millions of dollars 317 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: of wire transfers, flights, on Air Force two to conduct 318 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: personal business and meetings with heads of state, while Joe 319 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: Biden was aware of what was happening. All the while, 320 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: he turned a blind eye. Many transactions related to these 321 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: businesses have raised red flags at US banks. A Suspicious 322 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: Activity Report or SAR is a document a bank must 323 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: file with the Treasury Department when a transaction is suspected 324 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: to be related to money laundering or fraud or other 325 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: types of criminal activity. According to media reports, the Biden 326 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: family accumulated over one hundred and fifty sars. One STAR 327 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: generated by an American bank to the Treasury Department connects 328 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and a business associates to international human trafficking, 329 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: among other illegal activities. The money that was being made 330 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: from foreign principles in the same room as Joe Biden 331 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: was increasingly spent on furthering illegal activity. The STAR showed 332 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden was conducting business with suspected human traffickers. 333 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: The money gained through influenced faddling was function was funneled 334 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: to US suspected criminal enterprise. Again, one link to human trafficking, 335 00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: links to human trafficking. You notice that, they said, he 336 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: said at the very beginning fifty different countries. This is 337 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: not about Hunter, it's about Joe. We also need to 338 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: know what the FBI was doing. The FBI was doing 339 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things to try to make this story 340 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: go away. This goes back to Elon Muss saying Twitter should, 341 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: and I believe they will, release the logs on the 342 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: censoring of the Hunter Biden laptop story. He says, to 343 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: restore public trust. He's absolutely right. This is all about 344 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: restoring trust in the system. He's completely accurate on this. 345 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: We have to make sure that this story doesn't just 346 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: get thrown out the way that Stephen Colbert and CBS 347 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: News are hoping. They're using the same exact playbook they 348 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: used before the election and the montage that I've played 349 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: you then saying this is Russia and disinformation. Now they're 350 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: basically saying this is a joke and you should laugh 351 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: at it, and it really doesn't matter, right. This is 352 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: this is them doing Benghazi with Hillary Clinton two point zero. 353 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: This is a worthless, meaningless, stupid story that no one 354 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: should really care about. That's how they're gonna play this. 355 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 1: That's how they're gonna downplay it. That's how they're gonna say, 356 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: why this story should not be paid attention to by 357 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: any serious person and or serious journalist. As one economists 358 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: put it this past week, nothing good is happening on 359 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: Wall Street, and if you've been looking at your portfolio, 360 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: you've probably seen tremendous losses. Well now they're saying the 361 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: market may pull back well into twenty twenty three. There's 362 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: been one historical answer when it comes to bad times 363 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: like this, and that answer is gold. In two thousand 364 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: and eight crash, all of the recent crashes before it, 365 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: when the market dip, gold went up big time.

When he came out, 379 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: he made it clear that they said that we're investigating legitimate, 380 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: possible crimes, and also that the guy who he was 381 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: going to make the special counsel, Jack Smith, was an 382 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: unbiased individual. Will me remind you of this announcement. The 383 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: Special Council will also conduct the investigation involving classified documents 384 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: and other presidential records, as well as the possible obstruction 385 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: of that investigation. Today I signed an order appointing Jack 386 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: Smith to serve as Special Council. The order authorizes him 387 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: to continue the ongoing investigation into both of the matters 388 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: that I have just described, and to prosecute any federal 389 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: crimes that may arise from those investigations. Mister Smith is 390 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: a veteran career prosecutor. He began his prosecutorial career in 391 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four as an assistant District attorney with the 392 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: New York County DA's office. In nineteen ninety nine, he 393 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: became an assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of 394 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: New York, where, over the course of nine years, he 395 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: prosecuted matters ranging from gang murders of police officers to 396 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: civil rights violations. From two thousand and eight to two ten, 397 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: he served with the International Criminal Court, where he supervised 398 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: war crimes investigations. In twenty ten, mister Smith returned to 399 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: the Justice Department to serve as Chief of the Public 400 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: Integrity Section, where he led a team of more than 401 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: thirty prosecutors who handled public corruption and election crimes cases 402 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: across the United States. In twenty fifteen, he agreed to 403 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: serve as the first Assistant US Attorney for the Middle 404 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: District of Tennessee, later becoming the Acting United States Attorney. 405 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: Most recently, mister Smith served as a Chief prosecutor for 406 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: the Special Court in the Hague, charged with investigating and 407 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: adjudicating war crimes in Kosovo. Mister Smith will begin his 408 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: work as Special Counsel immediately and will be returning to 409 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: the United States from the Hague. This guy is perfect, right, 410 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: That's what he wants you to believe. This guy is 411 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: above reproach, He's unbiased, he's ideal. Well, it turns out 412 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: Special Counsel Jack Smith is act unbiased at all. He's 413 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: a hardcore lefty fanatical radical within the Justice Department's Public 414 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: Integrity Unit, inserting himself in fact, when he was there 415 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: into the Lowest Learner IRS scandal that targeted conservative nonprofit groups, 416 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: religious groups, and Tea Party groups. That's right, this guy Smith, 417 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: who was picked by the Attorney General Garland to leave 418 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: the DOJ's investigation into former Presidentald Trump. He led that 419 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: Public Integrity section from twenty ten until early twenty fifteen. Well, 420 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: let me give you the background so you remember the 421 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: story with Lowest Learner. Learner was director of the IRS's 422 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: Exempt Organization's Unit. Learner led that IRS effort targeting specifically 423 00:25:53,280 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: Tea Party groups and similar conservative nonprofit organizations, and IRS 424 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: watchdog and the DOJ later admitted the IRS committed wrongdoing. 425 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 1: In fact, you had a guy by the name of 426 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden who stood by the President of the United 427 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: States of America at the time, Barack Obama, and Obama 428 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: came out and said that he was personally angry, he 429 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: was upset, he couldn't believe that this happened and said 430 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: that it was wrong. In fact, Obama was in so 431 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: much trouble for the IRS and then being busted targeting 432 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: conservative organizations that he actually had to come out and 433 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: have an emergency press conference about it. He walked out 434 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: to the podium and this is what the President said 435 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: at the time after they got busted. So and again, 436 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: this guy who is now investigating as the special prosecutor 437 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is the same scumbag that was involved with 438 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: Lois Lerner targeting conservative tea party groups. And again the 439 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 1: Democrats got busted doing this to the point that the 440 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: President had to come out and have this press conference 441 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: back in twenty thirteen. Governoon, everybody. I just finished speaking 442 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: with Secretary to Loop and senior officials at the Treasury 443 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: Department to discuss the investigation into IRS personnel who improperly 444 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: screened conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. And I 445 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow's press conference, 446 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: but today I want to make sure to get out 447 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: to all of you some information about what we're doing 448 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: about this and where we go from here. I've reviewed 449 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: the Treasury Department watchdog's report, and the misconduct that uncovered 450 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: is inexcusable. It's inexcusable, and Americans are right to be 451 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: angry about it, and I am angry about it. I 452 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, 453 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: but especially in the IRS, given the power that it 454 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: has and the reach that it has in all of 455 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: our lives. And as I said earlier, it should not 456 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: matter what political stripe you're from, the fact of the 457 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: matter is is that the IRS has to operate with 458 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: absolute integrity. The government generally has to conduct itsself in 459 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: a way that is true to the public trust. That's 460 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: especially true for the IRS. So here's what we're going 461 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 1: to do. First, we're going to hold the responsible parties accountable. 462 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: Yesterday I directed Secretary Lou to follow up on the 463 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: IG audit to see how this happened and who is responsible, 464 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: and to make sure that we understand all the facts. Today, 465 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: Secretary Lou took the first step by requesting and accepting 466 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: the resignation of the Acting Commissioner of the IRS, because 467 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 1: given the controversy surrounding this audit, it's important to instance 468 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: to new leadership that can help restore confidence going forward. Second, 469 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna put in place new safeguards to make sure 470 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: this kind of behavior cannot happen again. And I've directed 471 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Secretary Lou to ensure the IRS begins implementing the IGS 472 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: recommendations right away. Third, we will work with Congress as 473 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: it performs its oversight role, and our administration has to 474 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: make sure that we are working hand in hand with 475 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: Congress to get this thing fixed. Congress, Democrats and Republicans 476 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: owe to the American people to treat that authority with 477 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: the responsibility it deserves and in a way that doesn't 478 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: smack of politics or partisan agendas. Because I think one 479 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: thing that you've seen is across the board, everybody believes 480 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: what happened in as reported in the IG report is 481 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: an outrage. The good news is it's fixable, and it's 482 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: in everyone's best interest to work together to fix it. Now, 483 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: he said, we're going to go after the people that 484 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: did this. We're going to hold them accountable. Was there 485 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: any accountability? The reality is no. Not only did Lois 486 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: Learner lead the IRS efforts to target TEA Party groups 487 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: and similar conservative organizations, but the IRS watchdog and the 488 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: DOJ later admitted the IRS committed wrongdoing and there should 489 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: have been accountability. Was there no. Republicans were unsuccessful in 490 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: seeing a special counsel to investigate that scandal, and one 491 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: of the reasons given by the Republicans side the actions 492 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: of a name that you'll now know, Jack Smith. How 493 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: did Jack Smith, the same guy now going after Donald Trump, 494 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: fit into all of this scandal? Well? As the lead 495 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: of the Integrity Section, he actually spoke with the FBI 496 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: about potential investigations into these nonprofit groups. He in fact, 497 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: he testified to this back in twenty fourteen. There were 498 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: questions about the legality of a point a special counsel 499 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: without congressional approval right The National Legal and Policy Center 500 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,719 Speaker 1: said this appointment raised questions about the appointment's clause of 501 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: the Constitution Principal officer requires appointment by the President and 502 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: the confirmation by the Senate, and the same as other 503 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: US attorneys. But hey, does any of that matter? No, 504 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: So this guy decided to go rogue. He decided not 505 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: only to go rogue on this, but he decided that 506 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: he wanted to actually try to start locking up conservatives. 507 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: Was he held accountable for any of this? He was not. Why. 508 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: I think we all know why now, because everybody that 509 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Barack Obama said we're gonna hold accountable, We're gonna investigate, 510 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: and we deserve, you know, people deserve to know what 511 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: really happened. Here. All of that was a lie. All 512 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,479 Speaker 1: of what I just what he just said to you 513 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: was a lie. No one was held accountable, including this 514 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: guy who tried to again use the power of the 515 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: government to attack conservatives. He was in this with Lois Lerner. 516 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: He wanted to go after and lock people up. He 517 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: saw an article about conservative groups and tried to weaponize 518 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: the United States government. We now know to actually do 519 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: all that I just mentioned, And now this is the 520 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: This is the unbiased, unpartisan guy that is going to 521 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: be investigating Donald Trump as a special prosecutor. If you 522 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: don't think the Democrats know what they're doing here, you're stupid. 523 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: The Democrats picked one of the hardcore partisans. They could 524 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: find a guy that has a history of being able 525 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: to go into liberal areas and get what he wants, 526 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: which is an indictment. I believe they're going to get 527 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: an indictment of Donald Trump because they're gonna do this 528 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: in an area Washing DC where they think they can 529 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: get an easy indictment of Donald Trump. They're not going 530 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,959 Speaker 1: to waste any time, and they're going to do this 531 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: to try to make sure that he's not on the 532 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: ballot or to take him out of contention of being 533 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: the president of the United States of America again. And 534 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: the guy who's the special counsel who's just been appointed 535 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: is a guy that went after conservative tea party organizations 536 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: and his name was said aloud and had to actually 537 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: testify on it after Barack Obama was busted and said, 538 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: we're going to get to the bottom of this, and 539 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: no one got in trouble, no one. Make sure you 540 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: share this podcast with your family and your friends. We're 541 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: going to keep on this and we're gonna keep exposing 542 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: this scumbag, and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
