1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: The Biden crime family today is having a really tough day. 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: There are new reports out that Hunter Biden and his 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: press conference, which has been seen as a backfire even 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: by the Democratic Leeds, are now saying that Hunter Biden 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: is a real problem for the presidency. New report also 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: says Hunter is a quote loose speedball on Joe's sinking 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: USS reelection. On Wednesday, while defying a legal congressional subpoena, 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden decided to hold that news conference that we 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: played for you, and if you missed it, you can 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: go back and grab that podcast from yesterday. And the 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: White House's reelection team was not happy about it at all. Now, 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: let me just read for you what they reported on 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: this in Axios. Now, the Axios is a publication online 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: that is a far left publication. 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: They're not looking for conservative readers. 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: They're base is like MSNBC or even more extreme than that. 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: But let me just read for you, and look, Excess 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: has extensive tentacles into the Biden White House and the 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: Biden apparatus at every level of government. 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: That's why them writing this means. 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: That there's a lot of people that are really upset 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: about this that work for the president of United States 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: of America and within the Democratic Party. 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: Quote. 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: Hunter's new strategy has caused tension between his team and 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: the White House. 27 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: Top aids the President. 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Biden originally crafted a plan to largely not respond to 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: attacks and conservative media coverage of Hunter Biden, a risk 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: adverse approach to avoid giving stories more oxygen. But Hunter's 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: team ultimately wasn't satisfied the media coverage didn't die down. 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: His team has come to believe that his lack of 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: a response was alienating potential Democratic allies and hurting his 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: father politically. Hunter's team keeps quote the White House and 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden informed of his plans. The report continues, but 36 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: the President's team has far less control over hunter strategy 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: than it once had. Yet, Hunter the deadbeat Dad is 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: a loose speedball on Joe's sinking re election ship. 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 2: It gets better. The White House is. 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: Concerned that if voters believe Hunters corrupt, they'll see Joe 41 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: Biden as a suspect too. 42 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: You think now. 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: After that disastrous Wednesday afternoon news conference, Hunter ran to 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: his pals and defenders at Axios to unleash this beauty, 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: saying quote Republicans quote unquote have weaponized my dad's love 46 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: for me and turned his greatest strength, his compassion, his 47 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: empathy is authenticity into evidence of corrupt complicity. Weaponize my 48 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: dad's love for me. That was the main line. Who 49 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: do you get that from some twelve year old girl? 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Poetry journal? That's what one writer said. What is even 51 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: more laughable is the idea that Hunter is doing all 52 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: of this to help his father. This is a hormonger 53 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: so selfish that while he was spending eight hundred and 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: seventy two thousand dollars on sex, he was fighting paying 55 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: child support payments for his own daughter, an innocent baby girl. 56 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: Just to put it perspective, and notice how the media 57 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: has not made that point. So let's pause there and 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: just really go into that for a second. At the 59 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: same time that he was spending one hundred and eighty 60 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars on sex trafficking, okay, on prostitutes, he 61 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: refused to pay and was fighting to pay child support 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: and even acknowledging that his child was his own child, 63 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: an innocent child in Arkansas. The same Biden family that 64 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: claims they care about you as an American citizen and 65 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: whatever you're dealing with right now, refused to allow that 66 00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: child to take the. 67 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: Biden last name. 68 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Never forget that they then refused to give the adequate 69 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: and appropriate documentation for the amount of money that he 70 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: was making, and then every indication was that he was 71 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: lying about his income to the point where she had 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: to lawyer up and drag his again, this deadbeat dad's 73 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: aas into court. The same time all of that was 74 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: going on, and this lady who he had a child 75 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: with was having to fight this legal battle and refusing 76 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: to acknowledge the existence of his kid. Do not forget 77 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: that the President of the United States was also refusing 78 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: to acknowledge the existence of his own grandchild that he 79 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: knew obviously was his. We also know that he refused 80 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: to pay child support to the point where he was 81 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: forced to take a DNA test so that then he 82 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: would finally start having to pay some sort of child support, 83 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: and he has fought every step of the way to 84 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: stop the money going to that child. Now, during Hunter's 85 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: news conference, where he took no questions, not that he 86 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: would have been asked anything difficult, right, the House of 87 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Representatives voted to open that impeachment inquiry into Hunter's dat 88 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: for a whole host of alleged crimes and misdemeanors. Additionally, 89 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: the houseoversde Committee has also launched a contempt of Congress 90 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: charges against Hunter for ignoring their subpoena after former White 91 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: House aide Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bann ignored their 92 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: respective stupid January sixth Committee subpoenas. Both of them guess 93 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: what were indicted by the DOJ, which brings me to 94 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: the contempt of Congress proceedings that have been initiated against 95 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, and it does have the potential idea of 96 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: jail time as well as a fine. That's only if 97 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: the DOJ will take up these charges the same way 98 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: they did against Stephen K. 99 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: Bannon. The others I just. 100 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: Mentioned the House Overside Committee Chairman James Comer and the 101 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan initial shid the contempt to 102 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden after the President's sun failed 103 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: to appear for that subpoena of that closed door deposition 104 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, the same type of definite deposition that the 105 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: children of the then sitting President United States of America 106 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump had to sit for and did sit 107 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: for now I have prosecuted and convicted to contempt of Congress. 108 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: Hunter's punishment could be up to one hundred thousand dollars fine, 109 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: as well as time in jail. A deposition is a 110 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: standard procedure used by congressional investigators. The two men stated 111 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: Democrats use depositions and their investigations regularly, including the Adam 112 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: Schiff impeachment inquiry, as well as the partisan January sixth Committee. 113 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: The House Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskins, a Democrat, 114 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: emphasized the importance of standard closed door depositions. 115 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: Quote. 116 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: We will not provide special treatment because his last name 117 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: is Biden. Coleman and Jordan wrote in their latest letter, 118 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: as our committees were today prepared to opose on Hunter 119 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: by Biden, he chose to make a public statement on 120 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill instead, where he said his father, Joe Biden, 121 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: was not financially involved in his father's business dealings. Now 122 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Representative Matt Gates came out and he said this. Peter 123 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: Navarro and Steve Bannon were indicted on contempt charges for 124 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: not complying with the illegitimate January sixth Committee. There was 125 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: no basis to comply with the Democrats fake committee. I 126 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: believe Hunter Biden should be held in contempted to Congress 127 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: for defying a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee. But 128 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: it's clear the corrupt White House and corrupt DJ will 129 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: protect their own from prosecuting prosecution while shamelessly targeting their 130 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: political enemies. Matthew Graves, the DC attorney who prosecuted Navarro 131 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: and Bannon, worked on the presidential campaign for Joe Biden 132 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: and other Democrats. I doubt we'll see what we'll be 133 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: seeing the same indictments against Hunter. This process will not 134 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: be fixed until we initiate total retribution against the deep 135 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: state for what they're doing to our country. I cannot disagree, 136 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: by the way, with what Matt Gates put out there 137 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: in his statement on X and here goes. Let's go 138 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: back to the other question here, number one. Exactly how 139 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: was Joe Biden involved? Is what the question that we 140 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: all are asking and the question that should be answered, 141 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: because evidence shows that Biden met with Hunter's business associates 142 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: and his name was at the center of the family 143 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: business strategy the entire time. What was the product? What 144 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: were they getting from Hunter Biden? Was he giving them widgets? Now? 145 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: Was he an expert in any of the fields that 146 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: he was operating in. 147 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: No? 148 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Was Hunter Biden actually giving them a product that they 149 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: were purchasing for millions and millions and millions of dollars. No, 150 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: So what was the business? The business was selling access 151 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: to the father. The business didn't exists without Joe Biden's 152 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: position of power in the government, and it doesn't exist 153 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: without Joe Biden being the Vice President and now the 154 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: President of United States of America. 155 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: So the two men, Jordan and Comer said this. 156 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Today, the House will vote on an impeachment inquiry resolution 157 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: to strengthen our legal case in the courts as we 158 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: face obstruction for the White House and witnesses. 159 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: And that's the real takeaway here. What we are. 160 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: Saying now and the reason why you move forward this 161 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: impeachment inquiry resolution is in the right to strengthen the 162 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: legal case in the courts because they are facing obstruction 163 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: for the White House and from witnesses. 164 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: Quote. 165 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: Today's obstruction by Hunter Biden reinforces the need for a 166 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: formal vote. Let me also say this, even the media 167 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: is not buying Hunter Biden's excuse. That's why this press 168 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: conference is backfired. Just in such a grand way. I'll 169 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: give you an example at CNN. John Berman, a former 170 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: colleague of mine who's no conservative, was talking with Democratic 171 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: Representative Meeks on Capitol Hill. The GOP has just come 172 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: out when he's asking the questions saying, look, we're vowing 173 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: to hold Hunter Biden contempt of Congress for defying the subpoena. 174 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: And of course the Democrats are coming to Hunter Biden's aid. 175 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: But listen to what was said. This is truly amazing, 176 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: clear clear. 177 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: Donald Trump Junior, Donald Trump Junior did appear in various depositions. 178 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: So why then is Hunter Biden different than Donald Trump Junior, 179 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 3: who did testify behind closed doors. 180 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: Well, Donald Trump Junior testified and he had a choice. Also, 181 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: I think that if he had said he wanted to 182 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: testify in a public flaw, he would have been granted 183 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: the ability to testify in a public farm. I think 184 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 4: Donald Trump Junior would not want to testify in the 185 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 4: public forum. 186 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: I think that it's more important so that the public 187 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: can see. 188 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: By the way, that's not the question that he was asked, 189 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: you know how their footmness. 190 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: Well, he wouldn't want to do a public form. 191 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: I actually think Donald Trump junior would love to do 192 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: a public form. There's a reason why Democrats didn't bring 193 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: him before a public form. They did them behind closed doors. 194 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: The Republicans, by the way, have offered both. 195 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: Of these things. 196 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: And this is how much of scumbaggery there is within 197 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: the Socialist Communist Rxist Democratic Party. And Berman's opening line 198 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: there quote just to be clear, Donald Trump Junior, Donald 199 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: Trump Junior did appear in various depositions. So why that 200 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: is Hunter Biden different than Donald Trump Junior who did 201 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: testify behind closed doors? And Meek's like, well, he did 202 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: it behind closed doors, we wouldn't do it in public. 203 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: So he's. 204 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: So you want to talk about an argument of what 205 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: about is this is it for the Democrats? 206 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: And keep listening to his closing remark what's taking place 207 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: in that regards? And so Donald Trump, I believe junior. 208 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 4: Did not necessarily want the public to hear to see 209 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 4: what he had to say. 210 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: And Joe and Biden does want. 211 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 4: To testify in a public forum to the welcome see 212 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: the questions that. 213 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 5: I ask of him. 214 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, for a party that claims they're all about transparency, 215 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: they are falling all over themselves to make sure that 216 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden doesn't have to testify, and if he's done 217 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: nothing wrong, then he's want to testify. I would want 218 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: to testify. I'd be like, let's go. And that's the 219 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: reason why the Trump children testified. Number One, they were subpoenas, 220 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: so they didn't have a choice right and they knew 221 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: they'd be held in contempt if they didn't go, so 222 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: they went. 223 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: It was an abuse of power. They still went. 224 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: Now, James Comer also had this to say on the 225 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: subpoenas and the documents, and he says, we are going 226 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: to court and we are going to win. 227 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: Listen to what he had to say on Fox Business. 228 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 6: I mean, this impeachment inquiry now is formalized. Congressman, what 229 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 6: does this get you? Do you think they are going 230 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 6: to stop blowing off your subpoenas. Do you really feel 231 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 6: like they're going to actually come to the table and 232 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 6: try to work with you on all of this. 233 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 7: Well, we're going to court and we're going to win 234 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 7: in court. We have built up a case I think 235 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 7: we put won in court before the impeachment inquiry. 236 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: But this impeachment. 237 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 7: Inquiry and the fact that it was a unanimous vote 238 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 7: among the majority party in the House Representatives. I think 239 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 7: that the Democrats are going to have to think long 240 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 7: and hard before they go to court, because we will 241 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 7: win in court and we expect to get the documents 242 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 7: that we've requested. Most of these emails should have been 243 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 7: available through for you requests, through Freedom of Information Act 244 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 7: request and they've blocked that. So they've violated so many 245 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 7: minor laws that really don't have time to talk about. 246 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 7: It's the major laws, you know, the money launder and 247 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 7: the influence peddling, the bribery. I mean, these are serious, 248 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 7: serious violations of the law, not to mention tax evasion 249 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 7: and tax fraud. 250 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 6: Wow, incredible, and you also mentioned securities. 251 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: Frauduct securities fraud as well. So we're going to go 252 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: to court and we're going to win in court. We 253 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: have built up a case. I think we would have 254 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: won in court before the impeachment inquiry. But this impeachment 255 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: inquiry and the fact that it's was a unanimous vote 256 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: among the majority party in the House of Representatives, I 257 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: think that the Democrats are going to have to think 258 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: long and hard before they go to court, because we 259 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: will win in court. That is a response of James Comer, 260 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: a very by the way important response to understand the 261 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: reason why they have done this the way they've done 262 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: it and gone so methodically through. 263 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: This is very very very very clear. 264 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: Now they're trying to connect these dots the right way, 265 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: and there are so many out there that are now 266 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: looking at what has happened and looking now that you 267 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: have two things here, evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens 268 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about Joe Biden and evidence of wrongdoing 269 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: by Hunter Biden and now defying the subpoena, and you 270 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: understand why there's so much heartburn for the Democratic Party 271 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: today and so much heartburn at the White House because 272 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: they're at a point now where it's like, well, what 273 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: do we do right now?

MSNBC is throwing around this new conspiracy 310 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: theory that quote Biden's impeachment inquiry is quote Trump's retribution. 311 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: Trump is not in charge of the Senate. He's barely that. 312 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: The Republicans are barely in charge of the House, and 313 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: they don't have the White House, they don't have the 314 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: presidency of the vice presidency or the dog the FBI. 315 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: But even MSNBC now realizes there's so many problems for 316 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: the Bidens they got to come. 317 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 2: Up with a new conspiracy theory. 318 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: So this is their new conspiracy they floated about a 319 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: half hour ago. 320 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 8: The fact that there is no probably doesn't bother the 321 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 8: likes of Jim Jordan. I think Representative McGovern got it 322 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 8: right when he said when Trump asks them to jump, 323 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 8: they say how high, and. 324 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 2: That they're now jumping. They're not jumping for Trump. 325 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 8: This is his retribution and it's a pr a pr 326 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 8: very cynical, pr driven attempt to Bess much Biden without 327 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 8: any evidence. 328 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: No evidence. 329 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: So they're just this is Biden's impeachment inquiry is Trump's retribution. 330 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: They don't have control of the Senate, they barely have 331 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: control of the House. We have massive amounts of evidence, 332 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: and you just sit there on MSNBC and you say, oh, 333 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: they have no evidence. It's the only card they have 334 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: left to play. That's the one thing that I will say. 335 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: I think this is all about the idea that this 336 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: is the only card that they have left to play. 337 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: There isn't any other card left. You can't defend not 338 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: showing up. You can't defend the press conference. You can't 339 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: defend the payments going to the Biden crime family. 340 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: You cannot defend the dollars. 341 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: That were going directly into Joe Biden's bank accounts. You 342 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: can't defend the phone calls. You can't defend the meetings. 343 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: You can't defend the foreign travel, you can't defend the 344 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: golf outings, you can't defend the payments coming from are 345 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: the worst are adversaries, the Chinese and Russia. That's the 346 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: reason why they're all sitting there in this scenario right now. 347 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: I want to play for you part of my conversation 348 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: that I had with Center Ted Cruz as we were 349 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: taping the podcast that we do vertic with Ted Cruz, 350 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: and you can hear the entire conversation by going and 351 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: downloading it, but there's a couple significant excerpts I wanted 352 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: to play for you. The deal with these two different subjects. 353 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: One of them obviously Hunter Biden and in him defying 354 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: this congressional subpoena in which would happened. The other one 355 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: is actually impeachment and why the Republicans are impeaching Joe 356 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: Biden and pulling this impeachment inquiry. It's not a political 357 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: witch hunt. It's based in facts, and I want to 358 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: make sure we go through that. And I want you 359 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: to hear what the Center had to say because it's 360 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: important because he's in Washington and he's talking to the 361 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: people that are doing this on the House side, and 362 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: to remind people how we got here is so vitally important. 363 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 364 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden's 365 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: refusal to show for this deposition. He had this press 366 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: conference on Capitol Hill but said I'm only willing to 367 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: go public. I'm not willing to go behind closed doors. 368 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: That is dictating to Congress what you will and won't do. 369 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: Usually doesn't end well unless you know the deck is 370 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: stacked on your half, on your side with a DOJ 371 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: that refuses to prosecute. Is that part of how this 372 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: is going to play out for him? 373 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 9: Well, let me say, first of all, we now know 374 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 9: the answer to what we talked about in the last podcast, 375 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 9: which is whether or not Hunter Biden was going to 376 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 9: defy the congressional subpoena. And the answer is yes. And 377 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 9: I'm going to give credit where credits due. I thought 378 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 9: the odds were about fifty to fifty. I could see 379 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 9: him going either way, and you were one hundred percent 380 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 9: on the other side. 381 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 5: And so, Benjamin, you were right. I was at best 382 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: fifty percent right. 383 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: But I'm going to frame. I'm going to frame this 384 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: transcript and put it in my office. 385 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 2: Now. 386 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: This is the first time in history of verdict I've 387 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: gotten these accolades. 388 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 9: Put it off right now. I'm telling you, I'm manning up. 389 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 9: I'm admitting it. You didn't even have to rub my 390 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 9: nose in it. I came forth right on the front end. Look, 391 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 9: he refused to comply with a subpoena. There are a 392 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 9: number of things that will flow from that. One of 393 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 9: the things that will flow from that is the House 394 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 9: I believe will hold Hunter Biden in contempt. That's significant 395 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 9: being held in contempt of Congress. That you can be 396 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 9: jailed for being in contempt of Congress, and but for 397 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 9: that to happen, the Department of Justice has to prosecute you. 398 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 9: And I got to say, one of the reasons why 399 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 9: I think Hunter Biden is perfectly content to defy a 400 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 9: congressional subpoena is he does not believe Daddy's Department of 401 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,239 Speaker 9: Justice will prosecute him, and so I think he and 402 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 9: his lawyers feel like they can just ignore the subpoena. 403 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 9: But when the contempt vote happens, and I think the 404 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 9: votes will be there to hold him in contempt, that 405 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 9: will be the next stage in the escalation. Now we 406 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 9: talked about previously on Verdict. Why often when you have 407 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 9: someone come in for testimony, you proceed it with a 408 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 9: closed door deposition where you get into more detail, you 409 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 9: go back and forth, you prepare for the open hearing. 410 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 9: And that's what the House Republicans did. Now, I will 411 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 9: say at Hunter Biden's press conference. He said, quote Republic 412 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 9: Wilkins do not want an open process where Americans can 413 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 9: see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry, or hear what 414 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 9: I have to say. 415 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 5: What are they afraid of? I'm here, I'm ready. 416 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 9: So I got to tell you, Ben, I would give 417 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 9: advice to Jim Jordan and James Comer. Take him up 418 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 9: on his offer. Hold him in contempt, fine, but also 419 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 9: bring him to an open hearing. He has said he 420 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 9: would testify in an open hearing. Yes, there are strategic 421 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 9: advantages to doing a closed door deposition first, but get 422 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 9: him under oath and in front of the American people. 423 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 9: If the outcome of this is he defies the subpoena, 424 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 9: he's held in contempt and nothing, nothing, nothing happens. That 425 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 9: is a bad outcome. That is not an outcome that 426 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 9: furthers justice. That is not an outcome that further is 427 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 9: holding Joe Biden accountable for his misconduct. And so I 428 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 9: think the best. Yes, they're irritated that he's defying their request, 429 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 9: and I think they ought to hold him in contempt, 430 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 9: but they also ought to schedule that open hearing for 431 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 9: the first week the House is back in January and 432 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 9: and put him under oath on record on national TV 433 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 9: and walk him through the evidence. 434 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: If they do that, does that mean that you lose 435 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: the chance for the closed door deposition? And is that also, 436 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: and I'm playing devil's advocate here, does that imply that 437 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: you're basically conceding to the demands of Hunter Biden on 438 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: the entire US Congress? 439 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 2: Yes? 440 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 9: And yes, and so what look, losing the closed door deposition? 441 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 9: There's some advantages to having that, sure, but you can 442 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 9: litigate about it for a year and get nothing. Or 443 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 9: on your second point, they could be piqued, they could 444 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 9: be annoyed. Well, gosh, no witness is going to dictate 445 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 9: what we do because we're tough. Well, so what, Look, 446 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 9: there's a job to be done. And the good thing 447 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 9: is you and I both know Jim Jordan and James 448 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 9: Comer these are serious men focused on a serious task. 449 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 9: And so I think the appropriate reaction is not to 450 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 9: have your feelings hurt, and not even to be annoyed, 451 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 9: although you are perfectly justified in being annoyed that a 452 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 9: witness is effectively dictating the method in which he will testify. 453 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 9: That is annoying and in the vast majority of situations, 454 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 9: it's utterly unacceptable. In this case, there is an overriding 455 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 9: interest of justice of putting the evidence before the American people. 456 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 9: And remember this is something that you and I have 457 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 9: said a lot on verdict. This is not about Hunter Biden. 458 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 9: This is about Joe Biden. If the result of this 459 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 9: is they spend the next year fighting over the contempt finding, 460 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 9: that is a complete waste of time. We need the 461 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 9: evidence in front of the American people that Joe Biden 462 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 9: was corrupt. And in this Hunter Biden is an accomplice 463 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 9: and he's a witness, but he's not. 464 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 5: The actual target. 465 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 9: The only reason anyone cares about Hunter Biden is because 466 00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 9: he was integally involved in the alleged corruption and bribery 467 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 9: of his father, who was vice president of the United 468 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 9: States and is now the President of the United States. 469 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 9: That's why they should say, fine, we'll have you first 470 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 9: week of January in front of the full hearing on TV, 471 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 9: and we'll walk you systematically through the questions and might 472 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 9: they get some surprises. 473 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 5: Yes. 474 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 9: Part of the reason you do a closed door deposition 475 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 9: is so you don't get surprised. You get an answer 476 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 9: in the deposition, and then when you do the hearing. 477 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 9: If they say something different, you can confront them with, well, 478 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 9: that's not what you said at our deposition. I get 479 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 9: that that that that is strategically better, But my point 480 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 9: is having Hunter testify under oath now versus not having 481 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 9: him testify for the next year, it ain't even close, 482 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 9: which is better for the pursuit of justice? 483 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: All right, So let's say that what you're you're mentioning 484 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: here happens. I want I want us both to go 485 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: on the record. Would Hunter Biden show up for that 486 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: public here? 487 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: Now? 488 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: I claims he would, right, but he was saying that 489 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: because he wasn't gonna show up for that. That was 490 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: his way of getting out of the closed door. So 491 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: let's say that that Jim Jordan and James Comer, they 492 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: do this to speak of the House says, let's this 493 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: our new strategy, Johnson, Let's go with it. Do you 494 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: believe that Hunter Biden would actually show for that open hearing? 495 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 5: So again, I don't know. 496 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 9: I think there is a significant chance he wouldn't show 497 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 9: for the open hearing. But if you forced me to 498 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 9: put odds to it, I'd probably say sixty forty he shows. 499 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 9: I think there's a forty percent chance he backs out 500 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 9: and said, oh, I was just kidding. I'm not going 501 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 9: to testify there either. But I think there's a sixty 502 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 9: percent chance that he follows through. He is at this 503 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 9: point defiantly said he's ready to go, and he's made 504 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 9: that offer, and I think ego and vanity may compel 505 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 9: him to go and testify in the open. If that's 506 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 9: what happens, what do you think? Where are your ods? 507 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: I think there's a zero percent chance he'd show up 508 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: for the second one, because if he knows he doesn't 509 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: have to show up for either, and they're not going 510 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: to hold him in content because and you would know 511 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: this legally, I don't, And I'm asking you sincerely, if 512 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: he didn't show up for the public hearing, what's the 513 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: recourse there? 514 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: Would it go to the DJ. 515 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 9: They hold him in contempt? And DJ again would would 516 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 9: sit on their hands and do nothing? 517 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: Because if you're gonna if you're gonna be held in 518 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: contempt the first time, why not double up on it 519 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: and say nothing at all. 520 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 9: Look, you're actually giving very good legal advice for someone 521 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 9: without a JD. 522 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 5: There's a lot of force to what you're saying. 523 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 9: Look, the reason I think it is slightly more likely 524 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 9: than not that he shows up. Is is ego, it 525 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 9: is entirely who he is, and they've been so braggadocious 526 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 9: saying that he would do it that I think he 527 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 9: would find it personally hard to back out of. But 528 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 9: there's no doubt the the risk averse the CYA approach 529 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 9: is don't show up to either. By the way, that 530 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 9: shouldn't be the risk averse approach. If we actually had 531 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 9: a functioning Department of Justice that would go and prosecute 532 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 9: you for contempt to Congress, then the the risk calculus 533 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 9: was would change. But remember Congress held Eric Holder, then 534 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 9: the Attorney General of the United States in contempt, and 535 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 9: DJ did nothing. Now Eric Holder was in charge of DJ, 536 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 9: but they did nothing, and I don't expect the Biden 537 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 9: DOJ to do any different. 538 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: Finally, please share this podcast with your family and friends 539 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: on social media.
