Hello, everybody, 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: some stunning breaking news actually just happened. Attorney General Merrick 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: Garland has just announced that the US Attorney David Wise, 11 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: who was previously in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: and the lead investigator into those crimes, will now be 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: given Special Council status. This is a big development. Let's 14 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: take a listen to the full announcement by the Attorney 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: General and I'm going to break it down for everyone 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: on the other side. 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: Good afternoon. I'm here today to announce the appointment of 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: David Weiss as a Special Counsel consistent with the Department 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: of Justice regulations governing such matters. In keeping with those regulations, 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: I have today notified the designated members of each House 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: of Congress of the appointment. In February twenty eighteen, after 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: being nominated by the former president and confirmed by the Senate, 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: mister Weiss was sworn in as the United States Attorney 24 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: for the District of Delaware. Mister Weiss had been a 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: career prosecutor, having served previously in the office for more 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: than a decade. Beginning in twenty nineteen, mister Weiss, in 27 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: his capacity as US Attorney and along with federal law 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: enforcement partners, began investigating allegations of certain criminal conduct by, 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: among others, Robert Hunter Biden. That investigation has been recently 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: referenced in federal criminal proceedings in the District of Delaware, 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: and as noted in those proceedings and other public statements 32 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: by mister Weiss's office, that investigation remains ongoing. In February 33 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, US Attorney Weiss was asked to remain 34 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: as US Attorney for the District of Delaware and in 35 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: that capacity to continue to lead the investigation. As I 36 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: said before, mister Weiss would be permitted to continue his investigation, 37 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: take any investigative steps he wanted, and make the decision 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: whether to prosecute in any district mister Weiss has told 39 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: Congress that he has been granted ultimate authority over this matter, 40 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: including the responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to 41 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: file charges, and for making decisions necessary to preserve the 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: integrity of any prosecution consistent with federal law, the principles 43 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: of federal prosecution, and departmental policies. In a July twenty 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: twenty three letter to Congress, mister Weiss said that he 45 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: had not to that point requested special counsel designation. On 46 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: Tuesday of this week, mister Weiss advised me that, in 47 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: his judgment, his investigation had reached a stage at which 48 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: he should continue his work as a special counsel, and 49 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: he asked to be so appointed. Upon considering his request, 50 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, 51 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: I have concluded that it is in the public interest 52 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: to appoint him as special counsel. This appointment confirms my 53 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: commitment to provide mister Weiss all the resources he requests. 54 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: It also reaffirms that mister Weiss has the authority he 55 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to 56 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: take the steps he deems appropriate independently based only on 57 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: the facts and the law. 58 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: Okay, so obviously what does that mean? Why is this important? 59 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: David Wise was appointed five years ago, he was the lead, 60 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: he was attorney for Delaware. He was the one who 61 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: investigating the crimes into Hunter Biden. Obviously he is kept 62 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: on in his position and continuing on the Hunter Biden 63 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: case after President Biden takes office. Mayor Garland has always 64 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: said that he would give him the utmost independence while 65 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: he was reviewing these charges. However, this has all come 66 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: to head, specifically in the last year or so. Two 67 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: things happened. Number one is that those two IRS whistleblowers 68 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: who had previously come forward have alleged that there were 69 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: political considerations that actually infected many investigated decisions, both by 70 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: David Weiss and by the IRS. The agents remember previously 71 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: had said and testified in open court that Weiss actually 72 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: wanted to bring felony tax charges against President are Hunter Biden, 73 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: President Biden's son, even though he was ultimately offered the 74 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: two misdemeanor counts. Then what happened is that those two 75 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: misdemeanor counts were brought before the judge in a recent 76 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: showdown where Hunter Biden had ended up having to plead 77 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: not guilty after previously reaching what he thought was a 78 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: sweetheart plea deal. The judge actually rejected what they said 79 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: this plea deal, pleading guilty to tax charges and entering 80 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: then a separate agreement on a gun charge. The judge 81 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: basically said, and this almost never happens, that it seemed 82 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: like there was way too much of a sweetheart nature 83 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: to all of this. She didn't understand why Hunter seemingly 84 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: was being absolved of a lot of future crimes. This 85 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: relates directly back to the decision to allow him, originally 86 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: by Merrick Garland's Justice department, to actually have Hunter plead 87 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: guilty to misdemeanor charges. One of the reasons that the 88 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: case actually fell apart was because Hunter and his team 89 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: were so arrogant that they thought that all he had 90 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: to do was plead guilty to these misdemeanor charges, enter 91 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: a separate agreement on a gun charge, which is serious 92 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: gun charge, by the way, which is lying about being 93 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: a drug addict anytime you purchased a firearm, and then 94 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: actually try to absolve himself of all future criminal investigations 95 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 1: that line, specifically saying that he would not be subject 96 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: to the investigation of future ones by David Wise by 97 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice is ultimately why Hunter and his 98 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: team decided to walk and they pled not guilty. And 99 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: in fact, one of the big developments on top of 100 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: the David Wise being appointed as Special Council is that 101 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: apparently the police deal here completely has fallen apart. So 102 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: there's some big reporting right now from CBS News which 103 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: says that the talks between Hunter and the DOJ, specifically 104 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: David Wise, now are at an impasse and that a 105 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: trial is now more likely. That's according to the court 106 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: filing that they obtained, which was just published in open court. 107 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: So a lot is going on right now behind the scenes, 108 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of different ways that we can 109 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: interpret this. Number one and probably most important is Republicans 110 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: wanted David Wise to come and testify before Congress. Now, traditionally, 111 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: an active Special Council does not testify before Congress while 112 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: that investigation is ongoing. They will issue a report, like 113 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: you'll remember the Muller report, And that's actually important for 114 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: all of us because we're going to get a full 115 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: rundown into the investigation into really what happened the Biden family, 116 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: any financial machinations. But two and then finally that really 117 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: the most important thing is that this removes and gives 118 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: him special counsel status that effectively makes it not nearly impossible, 119 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: very difficult for the White House to mess with his 120 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: investigation as it is run independently and fundamentally. I mean, 121 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: that's what anyone should really care about. David Wis has 122 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: been charged this for a long time. And the biggest 123 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: with you know, the bigse charge against him, not even 124 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: really him, but by the Department of Justice, Merrick Garland 125 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: and the Biden administration, by these irs whistleblowers, is the 126 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden got special status that he should have been 127 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: prosecuted for felony tax charges. And if you combine this 128 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: with some recent you know, some recent GOP oversight reports 129 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: that came out about nearly twenty million dollars paid to 130 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: the Biden family by these oligarchs from all over the world, 131 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Kazakh oligarchs, Russian oligarchs, Ukrainian oligarchs. I mean, I've detailed 132 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: this ad in ouseium here on the show. There was 133 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: just money coming out, you know, every witch orifice of 134 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and his uncle, and it all just comes 135 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: back to like, did President Biden benefit from this? Now, 136 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: we don't know that yet, you know, we don't have 137 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: evidence yet to that fact. But I think it is 138 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: very clear the fact that it is now twenty twenty three. 139 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: And this is also a major indictment of the media 140 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: that these facts, which have now been publicly available for 141 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: five years, as I've said repeatedly, are now so undeniable 142 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: because Republicans still control of Congress and forced it, you know, 143 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: really forced it into the public sphere. They got those 144 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: whistleblowers also who came to testify that the Biden administration 145 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: had no choice really but to cave and to give 146 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: special Council status. So clearly that is going to cause 147 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: a lot of consternation. I think in the future. I 148 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: think the media is gonna have a tough time with 149 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: this one. Remember, these people basically have a special council 150 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: fetish what happened with Robert Muller, but not this one. 151 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: Not this one, right, I don't think they'll be selling 152 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: candles with David Weiss's face on it. By the way, Republicans, 153 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: please don't do that either. You know, Let's just not 154 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: have a hay giography for all these people. Let's just 155 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: see how they do. Do they do a good job 156 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: or not. But overall, I think it's a welcome development. 157 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: I think it's good. You know, we should actually prosecute 158 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: no one actually should be above the law on ironically, 159 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: and you know, I mean the two tax charges here 160 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: which were brought against Hunter. Ultimately there's repultry because it 161 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: was really only failure to pay income on what, in 162 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: my view, and I think a lot of people's view, 163 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: is a very corrupt amount of money flowing into him 164 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: for all kinds of insane dealings where he's you know, 165 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: on a text message saying he never wanted to register 166 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: as a foreign agent. So there's a lot to go 167 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: into there, and yeah, I'm excited to see where it 168 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: all goes. Thanks for sticking with me. I apologize a 169 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: very nasty summer cold right now. Otherwise, thanks to our 170 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: premium members who enable these these videos. And I'll see 171 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: everybody on Monday.
