What 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: will America's response be to that? And also new information 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: coming out from the FBI that apparently they received criminal 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: information from over forty I'm going to say that again, 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: over forty confidential sources on Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: James Biden. 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: We're going to deal with all of that. 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: But first, Senator, let's talk about who is the new speaker. 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: A lot of people had never heard his name before. 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: This is someone that came after weeks of debate and 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: different bigger names that you knew. This seems to be 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: a really good, staunch, hardcore conservative, principled individual. 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: You know him personally, so I do. 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: Mike Johnson is a good man, and I think he's 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: going to make an effective Speaker of the House. I 20 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 3: think this is a very good development. Mike is from Louisiana. 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: He's a member of the House. Obviously, he's fifty one 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 3: years old. He's relatively young, he is smart, he's a 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 3: constitutional lawyer. So his career before he was in Congress, 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: he was in the state legislature. But before that he 25 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: was a constitutional lawyer and he worked with the Alliance 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: Defending Freedom. Now, the Alliance Defending Freedom is a group 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: that I know very very well. They focus principally on 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: religious liberty, and they litigate cases all over the country, 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 3: including at the US Supreme Court in defense of religious liberty. 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: And Mike worked for ADF ADL for years and did 31 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: a terrific job. Mike now is, or had been, prior 32 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: to being elected Speaker, was the ranking member on the 33 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: Constitution so Committee of the House Judiciary Committee. Now at 34 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: the same time, I'm the ranking member on the Constitutions 35 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee. So we have the 36 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: same roles in our respective houses. Now Mike was also 37 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: he was a conservative talk radio host in Louisiana. He 38 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: also in the House, he served as chair of the 39 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: Republican Study Committee, which is a large group of the 40 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: more conservative House members, and until he was elected Speaker, 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: he was vice chair of the House Republican Conference. Mike 42 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: is someone who is a conservative. He's an evangelical Christian, 43 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: He's a Southern Baptist. But he's also someone who gets 44 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: along with everyone, whose personality he is not. He's not 45 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 3: someone who gets in people's faces. He's not someone who 46 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, Look, we had an 47 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: enormous battle where Kevin mc carthy was toppled that caused 48 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 3: lots of really rough and hurt feelings. Then we had 49 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: a whole battle where Steve Scalise made a run at 50 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: being Speaker. Steve who's also from Louisiana. It's interesting that 51 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: you're going to have likely the top two Republicans in 52 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 3: the House both from Louisiana. And Steve is a good guy. 53 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: Steve is a friend of mine. 54 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: I like Steve. Steve came up short. 55 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: A different group of House members voted against Steve than 56 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: voted against Kevin. Then you had the run for Jim Jordan, 57 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: and Jim was the one person that I publicly endorsed, 58 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: and in that then I made an exception. So in 59 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: eleven years in the Senate, I've always stayed out of 60 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: House leadership battles. I figured we got enough fights in 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: the Senate, why get in the middle of fights there. 62 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: I made an exception for Jim because Jim is someone 63 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: I've worked together very very closely. He's a strong conservative leader, 64 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: and I enthusiastically endorsed Jim. By the way, Mike Johnson 65 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: also enthusiastically endorsed Jim. Jim made a run at it, 66 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: and at the end of the day he couldn't get 67 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: the votes. There were a group of Republicans, mostly moderates, 68 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: who kept voting no, who said no to Jim Jordan, 69 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: and then finally it ended up after a few more rounds, 70 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 3: it ended up with Mike Johnson. Mike, look, I think 71 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: this is a very positive development. I can tell you 72 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: Mike and I over the past couple of years, he 73 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: and I have together led multiple amicus briefs at the 74 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 3: US Supreme Court, where he was the House lead, I was. 75 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: The Senate lead. 76 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: Mike and I together led an amicus brief in the 77 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: case of Groth versus de Joy, which was a big 78 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: victory we talked about on this podcast, where the Supreme 79 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: Court upheld religious liberty, in particular with a Post Office 80 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: employee who wanted to observe the Sabbath and the Post 81 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 3: Office said no, you can't, and the Supreme Court six ' 82 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: three ruled in his favor and protected his religious liberty. 83 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: Mike and I teamed up for the amicus winning that, 84 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: and then Mike and I also teamed up in an 85 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: amicust together on on Gonzales versus Google, which is a 86 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: case where we were urging the Course Court to take 87 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: on big tech censorship and to defend free speech. And 88 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: so I think Mike's job is not going to be 89 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: easy being Speaker of the House with this incredibly narrow 90 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: majority just four Republicans. If any five Republicans go run 91 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: for the hills, you're in trouble. It is an unbelievably 92 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: difficult job. But I'm confident in Mike, and I'm optimistic, 93 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: and I've already reached out to him and said, hey, congrats. 94 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: I said, it is a big friggin deal, and I 95 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: look forward to you and me working together because we 96 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: got a lot to do delivery on our promises for 97 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: the American people. 98 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: You know, one of the things I think is so 99 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: cool about him is his mentor is actually Jim Jordan. 100 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: He also served as legal defense for Trump during both impeachment. 101 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: He voted against all Ukraine spending after the initial bill, 102 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: and he also I think this is really cool. 103 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: He clearly cares about his faith. 104 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: He was very open about that as he took that 105 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: gabbl and also was seen praying beforehand during that vote. 106 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: And this is a guy that I. 107 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: Don't guess really he had an ambition to be the 108 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: speaker per se. It was more like, all right, I'm 109 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: going to serve if you want me to serve. And 110 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: and everybody got behind him. He got every Republican except 111 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: for one that didn't vote. This is pretty awesome, I 112 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: think for a happy ending to a tough three weeks overall. 113 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: You know it is. 114 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: And I'm reminded of one of my kind of key 115 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 3: political advisers right when the battle over over Jordan was happening, 116 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: and I was asking, what do you think do you 117 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: think Jim can pull it out? And as I said, 118 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: I was publicly endorsing him, and and this this member 119 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: of my team said, I think the next guy who 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 3: gets nominated will become speaker. And there was some wisdom 121 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: to that that that you had, you had hurt feelings 122 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: the battle over McCarthy it was rough, and people's feelings 123 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: were hurt and they were angry. And then the battle 124 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: over Scalise, and that was rough and people's feelings were hurt, 125 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: and then they were angry. And then in the middle 126 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 3: of the battle over Jim where a lot of people 127 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: were engaged again, it was rough, and I think Mike 128 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: had the advantage of coming next. There was a moment 129 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: with Tom Emmer, but Trump came out hard against him, 130 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: and I think that torpedoed his run, and then Mike 131 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: was seen as a consensus choice. He's a conservative, so 132 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: conservatives were willing to support him, but yet his temperament 133 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: is mild mannered enough that the moderates were not scared 134 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: of him. Now, this is not going to be an 135 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: easy job. I do not envy him the choices because 136 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: he's going to be to say, hurting cats is a 137 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: massive understatement to the job he has to do. So 138 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: I'm sympathetic to how difficult it is. But i think 139 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: he's a good and capable man, and I'm proud of 140 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: him going forward because Lord knows, our country is in 141 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: crisis and we need strong conservative leadership in the House. 142 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: If you are a guy and you're getting a little 143 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: bit older and you feel like that you have lost 144 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: some of your strength and your vitality and weakness is 145 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: setting in complacency, setting in maybe you just don't feel 146 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: like yourself. You want to go out and be more active, 147 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: but you just feel like you are complacent and fatigued. 148 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: Well, you're not alone.

We know that Iran was involved 172 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: in giving safe haven during and after nine to eleven 173 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: when we were fighting in Afghanistan and fighting in Iraq. 174 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: And now this new report is out that the Hamas 175 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: fighters that did this attack on Israel trained in Iran. 176 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: And this is this is something I guess you'd say, 177 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: have a massive bombshell that this happened. And what does 178 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: this mean for our response to it as a country 179 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: when they trained there against one of our biggest allies 180 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: in the Middle East. 181 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: Well, the Wall Street Journal has broken this story, and 182 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: it's a bombshell. The journal reported quote in the weeks 183 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 3: leading up to Hamas's October seventh attacks on Israel, hundreds 184 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: of the Palestinian Islamist Militant Groups fighters received specialized combat 185 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: training in Iran, According to people familiar with the intelligence 186 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 3: related to the assault, Roughly five hundred militants from Hamas 187 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: and an allied group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, participated in the 188 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 3: exercises in September now it's October right now. Septembers last month, 189 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 3: which were led by officers of the Kuds Force, the 190 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: Foreign operation arm of the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Palace. 191 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: Stanian officials and Iranian Brigadier General Smil Kwani, the head 192 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: of the quad's Kuds Force, also attended. Now, this is 193 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: a huge damn deal. We've talked about before, how the 194 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: journal has reported that Iran planned this attack, they funded 195 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: this attack, they directed this attack. And by the way, 196 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: the Biden administration has been furiously spinning against this. They 197 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 3: had been saying, no, no, there's no evidence Iran was involved. 198 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: This was not Iran, This was not Iran. This is 199 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 3: not Iran. And you can understand why, because these idiots 200 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 3: have flowed nearly one hundred billion dollars into Iran and 201 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: so they are desperate to say Iran is not involved. 202 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: I got to say, even though I was not surprised 203 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: that Iran had planned and directed this, the fact that 204 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: five hundred plus of the Hamas death squad. Terrorists trained 205 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: in Iran last month. You know what that means. That 206 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 3: training was effectively paid for by Joe Biden. So Joe Biden, 207 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: the Democrats who have been the Iran appeasement squad for 208 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: two and a half years, they can take credit. We 209 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: trained the mass murderers who killed over fourteen hundred Israelis, 210 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: who killed thirty one Americans, who raped women and young girls. 211 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: Connect those dots, by the way, because you know what's 212 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: going to happen. 213 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: Some psycho fact checker is going to sit here and go, oh, 214 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: I can't believe that center Ted Cruz said this. Let's 215 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: connect those dots. So people truly understand why you're saying this. 216 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So, assuming the journal reporting is accurate, I have 217 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: no reason to doubt that it is over five hundred 218 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: of the terrorists who committed these acts of mass murder 219 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: trained physically in Iran by the CUDS forces just last month. 220 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: That's the training of a military invasion. That that is 221 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: preparing people to commit the greatest act of mass murder 222 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: against Jews in a single day since the Holocaust. Iran 223 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: train them. Now, We've discussed on this podcast at great 224 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: length nearly one hundred billion dollars has flown. It flowed 225 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: into Iran from Joe Biden the Democrats, six billion in 226 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: the ransom for five American hostages, ten billion from Iraq 227 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: that they flowed several weeks earlier, and over eighty billion 228 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 3: because Joe Biden the Democrats refused to enforce oil sanctions, 229 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: and they're allowing Iran even today to be selling two 230 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: million barrels a day of oil, mostly to communist China. 231 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: That money, what do you think it went to? Listen, 232 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 3: I'm going to start with two really damn simple principles. 233 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: Stop giving money to terrorists who want to murder us, 234 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: number one, Amen, And number two, stop letting into this 235 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: country terrorists who want to murder us. This combination is horrible. 236 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: They're flooding cash to psychopaths who want to kill us 237 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: and who want to kill Israelis, and they're letting them 238 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 3: into this country, and they are inviting something really, really bad. 239 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 3: Ben And what, by the way, is the Biden administration's 240 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 3: answer to this? Immediately after this terror attach, what do 241 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: they say, We want to send another hundred million of 242 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: gaza Because it's worked so well sending money to terrorists, 243 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: Let's send them some more money, because surely they won't 244 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 3: use this more money to kill yet more Israelis and 245 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: more Americans. 246 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: It is insanity. 247 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: I have to ask you another question about the intelligence 248 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: breakdown here. We spend a lot of money center on intelligence. 249 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: Obviously Israel does as well. I have a concern that 250 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: everyone seemed to miss five hundred people training in Iran 251 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: for this type of invasion. But what concerns me even 252 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: more is if we missed this, and if the best 253 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: intelligence services in the world missed it, combined Israel in 254 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: the US, what could we be missing when it comes 255 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: to Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That's the reason why 256 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: I'm asking the question. 257 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: It's a very good question. 258 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: Or for that matter, what could we be missing about, say, 259 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: Iran training five hundred terrorists in Mexico to invade our 260 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: southern border and carry out a mass murder just like 261 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: the kind they carried out in Israel. Look, that's a 262 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: question that's horrifying to ask. But we have seen the 263 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: Iatola chance death to America, and it is a strange thing. 264 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: Today's Democrats don't seem to want to believe him when 265 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: he says that. I believe him. I believe if he 266 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: could murder a thousand Americans tomorrow, he would. If he 267 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: could murder ten thousand Americans tomorrow, he would. If he 268 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: could murder a million Americans tomorrow, he would. If he 269 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 3: could murder one hundred million Americans tomorrow, he would. And 270 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: what is particularly terrifying. Look, we've seen mass murdering despots before, 271 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 3: but it is relatively rare to see a mass murdering 272 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: despot who is driven by a theocratic urge, a theocratic 273 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 3: urge that celebrates death and suicide. And so listen, if 274 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 3: Iran launched a massive terror attack in the United States, 275 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: even a commander in chief as utterly weak and impotent 276 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: as Joe Biden would be forced to respond, and presumably 277 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 3: many Iranians would die. The problem is the Iyatola, I think, 278 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: might be perfectly happy to let many Iranians die if 279 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: he could murder Americans and he could murder Jews. That's 280 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: when you have a theocratic radicalism. Ordinary cost benefit analysis 281 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: doesn't work. 282 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: Senat I also got to ask you about our focus, 283 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: and I'm talking about specifically the priorities of the Biden administration. 284 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 2: We have spent a hell of a lot of time 285 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: or this administration has focusing on quotas and Kumbayaya and 286 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: having men that dress like women, being military and all 287 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 2: these you know, key roles. We've seen them be obsessed 288 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: with going after anyone that was in around the Capitol. 289 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: On January sixth, there was a video that came out 290 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: of a guy's home being rated that didn't even go 291 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: into the capital. And this has been going on now 292 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: for a couple of years. Is my concern is, and 293 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: I want to know if it's your concern, is that 294 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: they're not focusing on the right issue here and they 295 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: have all of these these people they've weaponized for political purposes, 296 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: staring down at Americans instead of looking at terrorist activities, 297 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: whether it be here or around the world. 298 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 3: Look, unfortunately, you're exactly right, Joe Biden. The Democrats are 299 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: fundamentally unseerious about national security, about protecting America from the 300 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: very real enemies we have. You know, if you look 301 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: back at this Wall Street Journal reporting on what happened here, 302 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: I want to read you some more details. 303 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 1: Quote. 304 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 3: Hamas attackers used aerial drones to disable Israeli observation posts 305 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: and high tech surveillance equipment. Some used paragliders to fly 306 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: into Israel. Others rode on motorcycles commonly used by Iranian 307 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: paramilitary groups, but not by Hamas until October seventh. US 308 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 3: officials said Iran has regularly trade militants in Iran and elsewhere, 309 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: but they have no indications of a mass training right 310 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 3: before the attack. US officials and the people familiar with 311 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: the intelligence said they have no information to suggest Iran 312 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: conducted training specifically to prepare for the events of October seventh. 313 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 3: On Wednesday, Israel's military offered some of its most blunt 314 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: comments yet on Iran's role in aiding Hamas and other 315 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: militant groups. 316 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: Quote. 317 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: Before the war, Iran directly assisted Hamas with money, training 318 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 3: and weapons and technological know how, said Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, 319 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: the military's chief spokesman. Even now, Iran is helping Hamas 320 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 3: with intelligence, and while this is going on. 321 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: Can you say that again? 322 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: Even now, let's go back to that, because that's a 323 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 2: really important point that people need to make sure they understands. 324 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: The White House has been running away from this fact 325 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: you just said even now, as Iran is helping Maas right. 326 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: Now with intelligence. That's the quote from Israel's chief military spokesman. 327 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: Even now Iran is helping Amas with intelligence, and even now, 328 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 3: Joe Biden, the Democrats are still not enforcing oil sanctions, 329 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 3: so they're allowing Iran to sell two million barrels of 330 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: oil a day, and they're using that money to fund 331 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 3: their military, to fund their intelligence, to fund their terrorism, 332 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 3: to fund Jamas, to fund Hesbela, to fund terrorists that 333 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 3: are trying to murder former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, 334 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 3: that are trying to murder former National Security Advisor John Bolton, 335 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: that are trying to murder former Assistant Secretary of State 336 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 3: Brian Hook. All of this is being funded by money 337 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 3: the Democrats are allowing to flood in. And that doesn't 338 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 3: even begin to touch the security threat from our southern border. 339 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 3: Democrats treat national security as political pr Everything is about politics. 340 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 3: Look go back to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Joe 341 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: Biden and the Apparatricks in the White House decided we 342 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: want to pull out of Afghanistan by September eleventh. Why 343 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 3: because we want to hold a big press conference and say, see, 344 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 3: on the anniversary of nine eleven, we're out of Afghanistan. Now, 345 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 3: the military said, well, hold on a second, we need 346 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 3: sufficient forces there to evacuate people safely. We don't want 347 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: our soldiers to die, we don't want Americans to die, 348 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 3: we don't want the Afghans who assisted us to die. 349 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 3: And the White House said, nope, tough luck, get out. 350 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: We got a political deadline to happen, and so we 351 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 3: abandoned Bagram Airfield. We ended up doing the evacuation through 352 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 3: Kabo International Airport, a commercial airport in a dense urban environment, 353 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 3: and thirteen servicemen and women were murdered as a result 354 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 3: of it. It's the same approach. It's a cavalier approach 355 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: that it's all about politics rather than a seriousness. Listen, 356 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 3: we know tomorrow and the next day and the next 357 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 3: day Israelis are going to be murdered by Hamas. And 358 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 3: what is Joe Biden proposing. Let's send another hundred million 359 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: to Gaza. Gaza is controlled by Hamas. Let's send them 360 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 3: on another one hundred million, because that's clearly what the 361 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: terrorists who are at war with Israel need is more money. 362 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: And I pray to God that the attack doesn't come 363 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: here at home, but I believe every day the responsibility 364 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 3: lies on the head of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and 365 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland and Chris Ray and this entire administration that 366 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: is too busy focusing on their own political agendas rather 367 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: than defending the American people. 368 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: Final question on this, before we get to the Biden 369 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: crime family and the shocking news of FBI informants. Does 370 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: America have an obligation if everything that the Wall Street 371 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: Journal is saying comes out to be one hundred percent faction. 372 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: We have no reason ive it's not. 373 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: But does the United States American does Joe Biden's administration 374 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 2: have an obligation to respond to Iran militarily if this 375 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 2: is all in fact solid. 376 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 3: Well, in addition to everything we've been discussing, Iran has 377 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 3: been regularly attacking and AMAS has been regularly attacking American 378 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 3: military targets. We have seen multiple servicemen and women, American 379 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: servicemen and women injured, and to date, the Biden administration 380 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 3: has done not a damn thing. 381 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: And let's explain this more. This is over the last 382 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. People. 383 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 2: Yes, this has not been covered by the news, so 384 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 2: we probably need to explain this real quick. American military 385 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 2: targets have been being hit in the Middle East, particularly 386 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: in Iras, is particularly Iraq over the last couple of 387 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: weeks since this attack on Israel happened. 388 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: And multiple servicemen and women American servicemen and women have 389 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: been injured, and Joe Biden hadn't said anything about it, 390 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: hadn't done anything about it. Look, these guys still want 391 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 3: a grand Iran nuclear deal and so they're terrified to 392 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 3: actually criticize Iran that they've gotten up to saying Hamas 393 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: is bad. All it took was then murdering fourteen hundred 394 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: Israelis than thirty one Americans for them to say Hamas 395 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 3: is bad. But the people who funded it, who trained it, 396 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: who brought them to Iran, who gave the training sessions, 397 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 3: who taught them how to do this, this administration still 398 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 3: won't take them on. It is insanity. 399 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile for ten years has been America's only Christian 400 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider, And when I say only trust me, 401 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 2: they are literally the only one.

Well, Patriot Mobile has 411 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: decide to do something else, and I love this about 412 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 2: them as a company.

The evidence against Joe Biden and 442 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: the Biden crime family has extended for a long time. 443 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 3: According to the Fox News reporting, the confidential human sources 444 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: providing criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, 445 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: James Biden, and Hunter Biden. Those confidential human sources were 446 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 3: managed by multiple FBI field offices across the nation, including 447 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 3: the FBI's Seattle Field office. But and this is something 448 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 3: also that my colleague Chuck Grassley has learned and reported, 449 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 3: an FBI task force within the Washington Field Office sought 450 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 3: to and in some cases successfully shut down reporting and 451 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 3: information from those sources by falsely discrediting the information as 452 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 3: foreign disinformation. That effort caused investigative activities to cease. So understand, 453 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 3: they're getting confidential human source after confidential human source after 454 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 3: confidential human source saying these guys are crooks, these guys 455 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 3: are selling favors from Joe Biden to foreign nationals, to 456 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: foreign oligarchs, to corrupt Ukrainians, to corrupt Russians, to corrupt Chinese, 457 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: to foreigners. And the response of the top brass that 458 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 3: the FBI is no, no, we don't want that, shut 459 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: it down, don't talk about this. This is foreign disinformation. 460 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 3: The disinformation was coming all right, but sadly it was 461 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: from the FBI. 462 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: And center, your colleague Grassley alleges, in essence, look, the 463 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: FBI and the DOJ were in essence part of a 464 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: cover up here. They sought to shut down the investigations 465 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: into the Biden while knowing that the FBI received this 466 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: criminal information from over forty confidential sources. Now, to be clear, 467 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: forty sources center is a hell of a lot of 468 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 2: confidential sources. When you're talking about people that are telling 469 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: you about a legal activity, they believe they're witnessing on 470 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden, on James Biden, on Joe Biden, and then 471 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 2: they're like, hey, yeah, we know about this, we just 472 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: want to shut it down. 473 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: That's not normal. 474 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 3: So that's exactly right. The only thing that I disagree 475 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: with you is you said that Grassley alleged this is 476 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: in essence a cover up. No, he didn't say in 477 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 3: essence a cover up. He alleged it was flat out 478 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 3: a cover up. Let me quote from Chuck Grassley quote. 479 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 3: Based on the information provided to my office over a 480 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 3: period of years by multiple credible whistleblowers, there appears to 481 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 3: be an effort within the Justice Department and FBI to 482 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 3: shut down investigative activity related to the Biden family. Such 483 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: decisions point to a significant political bias infecting the decision 484 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 3: making of not only the Attorney General and FBI director, 485 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 3: but also line agents and prosecutors. And I got to 486 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 3: say the politicization of the FBI, particularly under Joe Biden, 487 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 3: and the politicization of DOJ is one of the worst 488 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: and most damaging legacies of this administration. 489 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,239 Speaker 2: Put your lawyer hat on for a second. Explain this 490 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 2: terminology used. It says the confidential human sources quote provided 491 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, 492 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden. Those confidential human sources were managed by multiple 493 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 2: FBI field offices across the nation, including the FBI's Seattle 494 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: Field office. So when they use words like providing criminal information, 495 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 2: what does that mean? 496 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 3: That means you've got individuals informants who are coming forward saying, hey, 497 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: I have an evidence of a crime, evidence of a 498 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 3: crime committed by Joe Biden or Hunter Biden or James Biden. Now, 499 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: some of them may not have been telling the truth, 500 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: some of them may not have been pointing to actual crimes. 501 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: But when you have forty different sources coming up saying 502 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 3: I've got evidence of a crime, that's unusual. 503 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen. 504 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: You know, ordinary public servants don't live a life where 505 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 3: you have forty people coming forward saying hey, I've got 506 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: evidence of a crime. And by the way, they're millions 507 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 3: of dollars flooding into them from communist China and Ukraine 508 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 3: and Russia and everywhere else like that is not typical. Look, 509 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 3: I serve in the United States Senate, my colleagues are 510 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: not getting millions of dollars from communist China or Russia 511 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 3: or Ukraine. That is exceedingly unusual. And to have forty 512 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 3: different sources coming forward, a normal law enforcement process would say, Hey, 513 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: this is really concerning, we need to investigate this. 514 00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: What's going on? 515 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 3: And what Grassley is alleging is that the evidence is 516 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 3: The FBI Field office in DC shut it down and 517 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: said nope, ixnay on the Idenbay investigation, a like like 518 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 3: they just did not want to look into crimes committed 519 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 3: by Joe Biden. 520 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 2: And I got to say that well, and they also 521 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: use the words they wanted to shut down or they did. 522 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 2: The Washington Field office in some cases successfully shut down reporting. 523 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 2: So they were saying, see no evil, hear no evil. 524 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: If you have something that deals with the Biden last name, 525 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: we don't even want you to report it much. Let's 526 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: give us the information that we would receive. We don't 527 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: even want it to come in the door. 528 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: Well, and this is part of this is the consequence 529 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 3: of the whole Russia, Russia, Russia, nonsense. And we saw 530 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 3: for years the FBI and DJ wage war on Donald 531 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 3: Trump alleging Russia, Russia, Russia, and we now know the 532 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 3: vast majority of that was nonsense. It was made up, 533 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 3: it was fabricated. Included actually an assistant General counsel at 534 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 3: the FBI literally fabricating an email, creating a false email 535 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 3: and submitting it to a federal court, which is a 536 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,479 Speaker 3: felony because they hated Donald Trump so much that they 537 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: wanted to go after him. But the danger of the 538 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 3: Russia Russia, Russia narrative is when you had the Hunter 539 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: Biden laptop, the FBI could just say, well, this is 540 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: Russia disinformation. Never mind that at this point Hunter Biden's 541 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: lawyers have essentially admitted, yes, it is his laptop. By 542 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: alleging all evidence of criminality as Russian disinformation, they convinced 543 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: law enforcement to ignore what is enormous evidence of corrupt 544 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 3: conduct by Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Joe Biden. 545 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 2: In one of those critical FD ten twenty three's we 546 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 2: talked extensively on Verdict about was first reported earlier this year. 547 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 2: It was that form that included the reporting from a 548 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: quote highly credible, confidential human source who alleged a criminal 549 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: bribery scheme between then Vice President Joe Biden, his son 550 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden, and the founder and the CEO of the 551 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: Ukrainian natural gas firm Barisma, where we know that Hunter 552 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: Biden was on the board. If if that's one example 553 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: of what we were getting from these forty plus informants, 554 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: what other intel do we not have? And is there 555 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 2: a way to go to the FBI and for you 556 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: guys and sent to even get it. 557 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 3: Well, we don't know. There should be, but unfortunately, this 558 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 3: FBI and this DOJ believes that they are not accountable 559 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 3: to the United States Congress. They're not accountable to the 560 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 3: American people. So when you ask them, their standard answer 561 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 3: is piss off, go jump in a lake. We will 562 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: not answer your questions. And there's an arrogance, there's a contempt. 563 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: Look. 564 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: We had and we talked about this in a previous 565 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 3: pod a deputy director of the FBI, where I was 566 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 3: questioning him and as I asked questions, he said, well, 567 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 3: I don't want to answer that. He said. I asked, 568 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 3: why not, because I don't want to? 569 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: Like, who the hell? 570 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 3: What do you mean? You don't want to that. This 571 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 3: is not just a chat at a coffeehouse. Dammit, You're 572 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 3: giving testimony in front of the Judiciary Committee of the 573 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 3: United States Senate, and you have an obligation. You're giving 574 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 3: testimony on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But 575 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: there is a hubris on the part of these individuals, 576 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 3: these partisans who are at the senior career positions that. 577 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: They believe how dare you question. 578 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 3: What we're doing? And I got to say, look, I'm 579 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 3: an alumnus of DJ I respect and revere the institution 580 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 3: and they have corrupted it to a point that it 581 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 3: is heartbreaking, and it is dangerous for the rule of law, 582 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 3: and it's dangerous for liberty in the United States. 583 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends 584 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: that got the precious metals.
