1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,039 Speaker 1: Just three weeks ago, a question was asked of Senator 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: This was the question, it is time for miss McConnell's show. 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 3: I think it is. Everyone here also supported a leadership 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 3: challenge to Mitch McConnell in November. I think a Republican 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 3: leader should actually lead this conference and should advance the 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 3: priorities of Republicans. 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: That was a simple answer February sixth from Senator Ted Cruz. 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: He took a lot of heat from other Rhino Republicans 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: because he said it was. 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: Time for Mitch to go. 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: Fast forward from February sixth to today, just a couple 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and now the breaking news had shocked 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: many in the political world. 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell will step down from his post in November. 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 4: And we know that he is the longest serving Senate 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 4: leader in history who's maintained his power in the face 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 4: of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for nearly two decades. 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 4: They've had a lot of change. Well, let's not even 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 4: ignore the stuff that's happened on the other side and 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 4: is happening now. I'm reading to you just so you know, 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 4: from the Associated Press. So it is written with some 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 4: interesting color. McConnell just turned eighty two last week and 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 4: was set to announce his decision today, and well of 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 4: the Senate, a place where he looked in awe from 26 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: its back benches in nineteen eighty five when he arrived, 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 4: and where he grew increasingly comfortable in front row seat 28 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 4: afforded by party leaders. Again, Mitch McConnell is stepping down, 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 4: and he'll leave his job as the leader of Republicans 30 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 4: and the Senate in November. 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: Now, the question is why wait till November? 32 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: He obviously claims he wants to see through the Republican leadership, 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: pick winners and losers in this election one last time, 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: and screw hardcore conservatives who desperately need funds. A great 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: example of that would be Senator Ted Cruz. Mitch McConnell 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: controls a significant portion of the Republican Party's money in 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: the Senate leadership funds that the Republicans have, and how 38 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: much money they give him last time, I'm pretty sure 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: it was zero dollars when he was running for a 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: reelection against Beto. So obviously Mitch McConnell wants to keep 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: that power until at least the end of the November 42 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: election cycle for the presidency and for the Senate and 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: the House. Now, I want you to hear in just 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: a moment what Mitch McConnell actually said from the for 45 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: the Senate as he came out telling why you was 46 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: stepping down. Obviously, the news broke before he even said this, 47 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: but I want you to hear his logic. Before I 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: get to that, though, I got to tell you about 49 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: our friends over at Ammo squared. 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 2: If you are like me and you love to hunt. 51 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: You love to shoot, you love to protect and defend 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: your family, well, then you're gonna love Ammo squared because 53 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: they help you stay stocked up on ammunition automatically.

That day arrived today. 98 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: My goals when. 99 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: I was narrowly elected to the Senate in nineteen eighty 100 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 5: four were fairly modeled. Do good job with the people 101 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 5: of Kentucky and convince them that by doing so, they 102 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: might rehire me for a second term. 103 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: That was it. That was the plan. 104 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 5: If you would have told me forty years later that 105 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 5: I would stand before you as the longest serving Senate 106 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 5: leader in American history. Frankly, I would have thought you'd 107 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: lost your mind. I have the honor of representing Kentucky 108 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 5: and the Senate longer than anyone else in our state history. 109 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 5: I just never could have imagined, never could have imagined 110 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 5: that happening when I arrived here in nineteen eighty four, 111 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 5: at forty two. I'm filled with heartfelt gratitude and humility 112 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 5: for the opportunity. But now it's twenty twenty four, I'm 113 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 5: now eighty two. As Ecclesiastics Astis helps us to everything, 114 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 5: there is a season and a time to every purpose 115 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 5: under Heaven. To serve Kentucky and the Senate has been 116 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 5: the honor of my life. To lead my Republican colleagues 117 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 5: has been the highest privilege. 118 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell announcing it is time for the next 119 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: generation of leadership, saying it's time to set down, as 120 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: he's eighty one years old, resigning as a Senate JP 121 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: leader officially in November after the November election cycle. 122 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: So long, Mitch McConnell. 123 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Now I will say this, I think this is a big, big, big, big. 124 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: Victory for conservatives. 125 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: I think this is a huge opportunity for us to 126 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: get a real leader of the House and a real 127 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: leader of the Senate that can work together, that are 128 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: both on the same wavelength. You look at Mitch McConnell, 129 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: he's a moderate. You look at Johnson, a hardcore conservat 130 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: in the House. Imagine if you had two individuals side 131 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: by side that we're willing to work together, that believe 132 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: the same things, had the same ideology. That is exactly 133 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: what I believe we should be doing here. That's exactly 134 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: what I think we should be advocating for. And there 135 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: needs to be, as I would describe it, a vigorous fight, 136 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: a vigorous debate over who should be the next the 137 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: next leader of the Republican Party. 138 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: In the Senate. 139 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that is the Senate majority leader after the 140 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: November elections. Let me also say this, we better start 141 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: fighting now and not wait till after November to have 142 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: an opinion. We need to start advocating for who we 143 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: want it to be. Who we want the person to 144 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: be that leads in the Senate. It should be a 145 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: hardcore conservative. It should not be a get along moderate. 146 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be a rhino, and it sure as hell 147 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't be somebody that looks like Mitch McConnell. 148 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: Again. 149 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell was a disaster for the conservative real conservative movement. 150 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: He was not a huge ally of the MAGA movement either. 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: He was not a big ally of Donald Trump when 152 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: he was president for four years either. So we need 153 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: to make sure that we have someone moving forward that 154 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: we look at and go, yes, that is somebody I 155 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: can get behind, That is someone I can support. That 156 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: is someone who is going to advocate for what we 157 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: believe in. And that matters, especially when it comes, as 158 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I said a moment ago, on the House side, I 159 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: cannot tell you how important it is that the Senate 160 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: Majority leader, I believe will have the majority in November, 161 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: that's say, Senate majority leader. I cannot tell you how 162 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: important is it that individual. Okay, that that person it 163 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: has the same ideals as those on the House side. 164 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: It is massively important that we have that on the 165 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: House side. It's not just by the way, the Mitch 166 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: McConnell's story of him deciding to step down, that's the 167 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: big news on Capitol Hill today. 168 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: The biggest news of the day. 169 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Actually is the fact that Hunter Biden is on Capitol Hill, 170 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: and this comes with the Biden impeachment inquiry. This is 171 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: one reason, by the way, I'm really mad at Mitch McConnell. 172 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: If you're not stepping down till November. Why did you 173 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: give the media a chance to cover you instead of 174 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden being on Capitol Hill?

I don't really care 225 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: about it being Hunter Biden. What I do care about 226 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: is the fact that he's there testifying, and this all 227 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: deals with the president and the corruption of the President 228 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: of the United States of America, Joe Biden. I want 229 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: you to hear what Jim Jordan had to say and 230 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: accusing the Biden family have intentionally. 231 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 2: Breaking laws in this country. 232 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: As he was explaining what they want to get out 233 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden behind closed doors in this deposition. 234 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: Listen to him from Fox and Friends. 235 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 7: Let's bring in Jim Jordan. How should you hear a 236 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 7: committee chair? He'll be questioning Hunter Biden today, and I 237 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 7: know you've been waiting for this moment. What do you 238 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 7: expect and what is going to be your approach with 239 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 7: Hunter today? 240 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 8: Well, we'll probe this Chinese energy company. I mean, there's 241 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 8: a pattern with the Biden family. Hunter Biden goes out 242 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 8: and tries to get business, but the agreements and the 243 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 8: deals never get done until Joe Biden shows up, either 244 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 8: on a. 245 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: Phone call, stopping buy a lunch, dropping. 246 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 8: By a dinner. That's when these things happen. And this 247 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 8: Chinese energy company is a great example. He'd been working 248 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 8: on this deal for months, but it wasn't until they're 249 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 8: having a lunch at the Four Seasons restaurant, eight Chinese 250 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 8: officials there with Hunter Biden and his business partners, that 251 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 8: Joe Biden stops in and then three weeks later sayzam, 252 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 8: here comes three million dollars wired to Hunter Biden. So 253 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 8: that's the path turned throughout. So we'll explore that kind 254 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 8: of broad issue. And then Franklin wont asking some specific questions, 255 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 8: like on December fourth, twenty fifteen, you call d C. 256 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 2: Devin Archer testified. 257 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 8: You're with the CEO and of Barisma, this Ukraine and 258 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 8: energy company. 259 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: They're under pressure. 260 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 8: They ask you to help them, and you call DC. 261 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: In one part of. 262 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 8: The Devon Archer's testimony, he says, you called your dad. 263 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 8: Who did you call and what did you talk about? 264 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 8: Because we know three days later, Joe Biden goes to 265 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 8: Ukraine and fires the prosecutor who's applying the pressure to 266 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 8: the very company that Hunter Biden was on the board of. 267 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 7: He's going to say, I'm an addict. He's going to 268 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 7: say my dad never knew about it, and he's going 269 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 7: to say where is the money? That's the other thing 270 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 7: he's the President of the United States has said in 271 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 7: the past. We'll see he's also going to say, hey, 272 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 7: by the way, I'm an under indictment. 273 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: I can really kind of answer that question. 274 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 7: And I guarantee you that Jamie Rasking, no matter what happens, 275 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 7: will come out and say nothing happened. 276 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: The Republicans have nothing. 277 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: Not only is Jim Jordan making it clear that we've 278 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: been waiting for this because we're going to get clarification 279 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: on just how corrupt and how many laws may have 280 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: been broken in confirmation of certain things and certain payments 281 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: that were made that would have broken laws. 282 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: But he's also saying. 283 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: That this is a time for the Bidens to basically 284 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: see how are they going to defend themselves specifically moving forward? 285 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: Now. 286 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley also went on Fox and was talking about 287 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: this from the Democrats perspective, like, what's the fallout going 288 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: to be? Is there going to be fallout? Does the 289 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: American voter actually care? And I want you to hear 290 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: what he had to say about it on Fox as well. 291 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 9: Freaking Jonathan Turley, constitutional law attorney and a Fox News contributor. 292 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 9: So here's what Hunter Biden said in his opening statement. 293 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: I did not involve my father in. 294 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 9: My business, not while I was a practicing lawyer, Not 295 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 9: in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as 296 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 9: a board member, and not as an artist. 297 00:15:59,440 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: Never. 298 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 9: That's pretty much word for word what Jim Biden said 299 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 9: when he was testifying last week. Any reason to believe 300 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 9: either one of them. 301 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 10: Well, you'll notice he does not say that my father 302 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 10: did not know about my business activities as he was 303 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 10: flying on Air Force two. For example, he has previously 304 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 10: contradicted his father, who maintained throughout the campaign that he 305 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 10: had no knowledge of his son's business dealings. Most of 306 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 10: us believe that is now patently false. But you'll notice 307 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 10: the nuanced language in all of this. I think that 308 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 10: the Democrats did a disservice to themselves by coming out 309 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 10: too quickly. You know, they came out in about an 310 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 10: hour after the deposition had started after Hunter Biden read 311 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 10: that statement, so he had barely cleared his throat when 312 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 10: they came out and said, okay, well there's nothing here, 313 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 10: and it left a lot of us sort of chuckling. 314 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 10: It made it seem like he could pull out the 315 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 10: severed head of Victor Choken and they would still say, well, 316 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 10: thank you for being so for coming. I think we 317 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 10: can move along now. I mean, it was just a 318 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 10: bizarre and I think a really badly timed effort. So 319 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 10: we have to see how he answers some of these 320 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 10: very specific questions. 321 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 11: Really interesting and as far as what we are hearing 322 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 11: from Hunter himself, this is Hunter's statement on his dad's involvement. 323 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 11: Obviously at the center of all of this. I did 324 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 11: not involve my father in my business, not while I 325 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 11: was practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic 326 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 11: war international, not as a board member, and not as 327 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 11: an artist. 328 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 2: Never. 329 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 11: You know, talking to Kerry Kopeck this morning, and you 330 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 11: as well, Jonathan, we keep going back to the very 331 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 11: central question that is, well, what was he doing in 332 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 11: exchange for these massive amounts of money? What services was 333 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 11: he offering? 334 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 10: Well, remember, this is the person who sent the wetsapp 335 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 10: message that my father's sitting next to me and effectively 336 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 10: saying he's not going to be happy unless you said 337 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 10: me a huge amount of money. Now, that seems a 338 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 10: rather direct effort at using your father's name to elicit 339 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 10: money from foreign sources. And in addition to that, there 340 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 10: are plenty of emails where Joe Biden is referenced where 341 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 10: these same figures that are giving money to the Bidens 342 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 10: and the Biden families thanked him for arranging meetings with 343 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 10: his father. And I think the Democrats would be in 344 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 10: a better position if they acknowledged the obvious, which is 345 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 10: this was an influence pedaling operation. I mean hunter Biden 346 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 10: himself says that he was in the throes of addiction. Well, 347 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 10: then Why were people giving you millions of dollars in 348 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 10: areas that you know nothing about? And the obvious answer 349 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 10: is that he was influence peddling. The Bidens have been 350 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 10: alleged to be influenced peddlers for a long time. I've 351 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 10: been writing about this family for about ten years, so 352 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 10: there's no surprise there. Now you can contest whether there's 353 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 10: impeachable evidence here, but I want to emphasize something else. 354 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: The fact that Joe. 355 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 10: Biden did not get direct payments is not a defense 356 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 10: to the classic type of case of bribery or some 357 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 10: of these corruption crimes. The courts have repeatedly said that 358 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 10: money going to family members is viewed as a benefit 359 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 10: to the principle in actual criminal cases, So that whole 360 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 10: defense is a bit nonsensical if you're talking about corruption. 361 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 9: Sir Jonathan, you mentioned this that what's that message? I 362 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 9: think it bears repeating so that everybody can remember exactly 363 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 9: what it was that Hunter said here. He said, I'm 364 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 9: sitting here with my father and we would like to 365 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 9: understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell 366 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 9: the director and this is of CEFC that I would 367 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 9: like to resolve this now before it gets out of 368 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 9: hand and now means tonight and Z if I get 369 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 9: a call or text from anyone involved in this other 370 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 9: than you, Xang or the chairman, I will make certain 371 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 9: that between the man sitting next to me and every 372 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 9: person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a grudge, 373 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 9: that you will regret not following my direction here waiting for. 374 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: The call with my father. 375 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 9: He since tried to say that all that was taken 376 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 9: out of context, but lord knows how you do that. 377 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, I can't imagine the context you would put that in. 378 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 10: I mean you you juxtapose that with what I represented. 379 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 10: Raskin just said that, you know, he would just bring 380 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 10: it bring his dad to dinner on occasions, and this 381 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 10: was just mom or dad calling in to say howdy. 382 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: That message. 383 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 10: Doesn't it quite exactly sound like a father being used 384 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 10: just to have a friendly hello. And the question is 385 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 10: if he put it in writing in this message, how 386 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 10: many times was this message conveyed verbally? That's usually what 387 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 10: happens in Washington. You have to be it's moronic to 388 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 10: put that in writing, even in social media. 389 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: Forum. 390 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 10: So there's a great deal of glaring evidence, and this 391 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 10: is one of the reasons why. I think the Democrats 392 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 10: doth protest too much when they say, let's stop all 393 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 10: this questioning. There's nothing here to see. There's obviously corruption here. 394 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 10: That's what influence pedaling is. It's a form of corruption. 395 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 10: And the question for the public is did President Biden 396 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 10: know about that corruption? Did he know his brother and 397 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 10: his son were influence peddling. I think the evidence is 398 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 10: considerable that he did know, including from articles that were 399 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 10: appearing during that time. 400 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: You can say it as much as you want to 401 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: that there's nothing there. 402 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: Democrats are going to keep saying it. It doesn't mean 403 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: that it's true. 404 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing right now is a major major 405 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: advancement of the corruption against the president United States of America. 406 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, I don't care about Hunter Biden. 407 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: What I do care about is President of the United 408 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: States of America. Joe Biden's selling access to our adversaries 409 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: and him getting rich off of it, period, full stop. 410 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: Now. 411 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: Democrats, by the way, they're doing everything they can right 412 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: now to make sure that you just see Hunter Biden 413 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: as a drug addict who did some stupid stuff. They're 414 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: admitting now by the way, that he did stupid things. 415 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: In fact, they're admitting slash implying now that he has 416 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: probably committed crimes. And while saying this, they're saying, but 417 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do whatsoever with the President of 418 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: United States of America, who has lied to you over 419 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: and over and over again about this. NBC News and 420 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: MSNBC doing what they do best, protecting the President of 421 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: the United States of America at all costs. They had 422 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: Representative Moscowitz on to talk about Hunter Biden and he 423 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: even said, Hey, Hunter Biden has done some things, but 424 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: don't worry, it's nothing to do with President Joe Biden. 425 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 12: Listen, let's get to Washington because less than an hour 426 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 12: from now, Hunter Biden will appear before the House Committee's 427 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 12: investigating his father, the President of the United States, as 428 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 12: part of their impeachment inquiry. The tho door interview comes 429 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 12: after House Republicans had threatened to hold him in contempt. 430 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 2: Republicans are in search of. 431 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 12: Direct evidence so far that has eluded them that the 432 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 12: President was involved in Hunter's foreign business dealings. Joining us 433 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 12: now Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Jared 434 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 12: Moskowitz of Florida. He will be in the room during 435 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 12: the Deposition congresson Thanks for being here. What do you 436 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 12: expect to see inside that room about an hour from now. 437 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 6: Well, look, I'm sure there'll be about twenty members in 438 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 6: the room, obviously, a Council for Democratic Oversight, Council for 439 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 6: Republican Oversight, and then Hunter Biden will be there with 440 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 6: his own counsel. So we're finally here now at the 441 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 6: moment Republicans have been trying to get to after they 442 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 6: invited him to a public committee hearing and then took 443 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 6: away that invitation. Now we're finally at the deposition phase. 444 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 6: I mean, listen, this impeachment of Joe Biden, the impeachment 445 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 6: inquiry of Joe Biden, is literally on life support. Every 446 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 6: one of their informants has proven to be a liar. 447 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 6: Two of them have been indicted, one of them for 448 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 6: trying to sell being a Chinese foreign agent and selling 449 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 6: Irenian oil, the other actually being a stooge for Russian 450 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 6: intelligence and duping my colleagues across the aisle. 451 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: By the way, I have to stop there and just 452 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: laugh at this guy. 453 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: This is the same guy that did the impeachment of 454 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This is the same guy that told you 455 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: that Russian collusion was real. This is the same guy 456 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: that knew that Hillary Clinton paid for the Steele dssier 457 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: and the Democrat National Committee paid for the Steel dossier. 458 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: This is the same guy that told you that Donald 459 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: Trump should be in prison, not just impeached, but in prison, 460 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: and that he was being controlled by Russia. And now 461 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: he says, every single person that's given information about Joe Biden, 462 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, James Biden, the Biden crime family's a liar. 463 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: I guess that would include the banks, That would include 464 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: the suspicious activity reports, that would include the FBI whistleblowers, 465 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: that would include the irs whistleblowers, That would include every 466 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: single person, as he described it, they're all liars. 467 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 5: Right. 468 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: He brings up two circumstances where he talks about these 469 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: people that he says are liars, and then says, see 470 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: everyone else lie too. Now one of the people, by 471 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: the way he's talking about, is someone that the FBI 472 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: could have charged years ago if he lied the way 473 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: they're claiming. But now it seems like they're getting too 474 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: close to Donald, to Joe Biden, and getting too close 475 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: to this being a real problem for the president. So 476 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden to undermine and this credit 477 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: this FBI informant. They're like, all right, we're gonna indict 478 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: him for line. They could have done this several years ago. 479 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: Why did they not do it several years ago? I 480 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear the only reason why they didn't 481 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: do it years ago is because it didn't care then. 482 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: But they needed to undermine him now. And this is 483 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: how you do it, right, This is how you undermine. 484 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: This is how you pull that off. This is how 485 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: you make it all. This guy is sitting there and 486 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: he has nothing more than a pathological liar. 487 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 2: He knows he's lying. 488 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: He's lying about the brave men and women that have 489 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: come forward and told the truth. He's lying about the 490 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: brave men and women that have come forward and have 491 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: said very clearly, very clearly, that they witnessed. 492 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: The president of United States America doing. 493 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: Business with the worst few of the world and the 494 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: money trail backs that up. These are the same people 495 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: that have come forward that have said that they did 496 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: business with the for years, and we know they did 497 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: business for years with the Biden crime family. 498 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 2: He's saying, they're all liar. 499 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: Now, imagine if you're telling if you were in business 500 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden, James Biden, Joe Biden, you are doing 501 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: these deals, and this is how they're trashing you in public. 502 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: Now, you think that's. 503 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: Going to encourage you to maybe be a little bit 504 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: more blunt and a little bit more open about what 505 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: you saw. 506 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: I think this is a very stupid strategy. 507 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: But you got to understand they're believing that the media 508 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: is going to cover for them. 509 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: That's what they believe here. 510 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: They're believing that this is somehow going to work out 511 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: to their advantage and that everybody is just going to 512 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: cover for them one more time. 513 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 2: And why wouldn't they believe this? 514 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party has been covered for by the media 515 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: for decades now, but certainly have been protecting the Bidens 516 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: since the Hunter laptop came out and they said, all right, 517 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: how do we get rid of the story. 518 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 2: We'll all just refuse to report on it and. 519 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: Say that it is Russian disinformation, will lie to the 520 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: American people. We know it's real, we know it's authentic, 521 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: we know it's important to talk about. We'll just straight 522 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: up lie about it. And that's what they've done since 523 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: the very beginning. Again, listen to this representative. He is 524 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: nothing but a communist propagandist on MSNBC, and they're letting 525 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: him spew all of these lies. 526 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 6: With that ten twenty three form nonsense. So look, you know, 527 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 6: we'll see what happens after today. I expect my colleagues 528 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 6: to go to the microphone and say, you know, today 529 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 6: is the smoking gun, which they've been saying for a 530 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 6: year every time they sit down and have a deposition. 531 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 6: But my hope is that this is the conclusion of 532 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 6: the Joe Biden impeachment Inqury, because there is no evidence whatsoever. 533 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 6: Hunter Biden has done some things incorrect with the tax 534 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 6: issue and with the gun issue. He's going to have 535 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 6: to deal with that, but that has nothing to do 536 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 6: with Joe Biden as the President of. 537 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 2: The United States. 538 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that MSNBC didn't push back there at all. 539 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: There's no evidence they could have immediately cut pushed back 540 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: and said, well, hold on a second. The President said 541 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: he had nothing to do with his son, and we 542 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: now we know they did have something to do with 543 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: his son's business dealings. The President said he never met 544 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: with him of his business associates. We now have actual 545 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: pictures and flight logs proving that's not true, and emails 546 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: and WhatsApp messages and phone calls and voicemails that we 547 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: could play for you, Congressman that prove that what you 548 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: just said is a lie. 549 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: But they didn't push back at all. 550 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: And the reason why it's pretty simple because they're nothing 551 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: but communists, media, Marxist and socialists taking their marching orders 552 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: from this regime, this Biden regime, which will cover all 553 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: of this up. And no matter what you look at 554 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: the data, you look at the facts, this guy is 555 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: a scumbag. 556 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: He is a liar. 557 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: He is a guy that tried to overthrow the will 558 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: of the people in twenty sixteen when Donald Trump won. 559 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: The Biden crime family has been lying to you time 560 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: and time again. Hunter Biden testify he joined the Barisma board, 561 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: he says, now to counter Russian aggression. 562 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 2: That is his new argument. 563 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: Apparently behind closed doors, we're now being told by Representative 564 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: Matt Gates, he said to reporters after leaving the deposition quote. 565 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden testified that he joined the board of Barisma 566 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: Holdings to counter Russian aggression. That is the most absurd 567 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: thing ever. But again the media will report this. Oh 568 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: he was somehow I do Gooder. Hunter stated purpose for 569 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: joining Brisol's board is a new claim that indicates a 570 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: bizarre and unofficial foreign policy never before revealed to the 571 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: American people. He's been responsive to questions, Gates said. Hunter 572 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: Biden told us that he joined the Brisma board to 573 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: counter Russian aggression. 574 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that one before that. Thank goodness. 575 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: We had Hunter Biden on the Barisma board because that 576 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: was central to his strategy to stand up to Vladimir Putin. 577 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: Matt Gates said, jokingly, Here's what he said, is he 578 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: left the deposition room. 579 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 13: I ave said that there were a number of interesting moments, 580 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 13: but perhaps none more interesting than when Hunter Biden told 581 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 13: us that he joined the Barisma board to counter Russian aggression. 582 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that one before that. 583 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 13: Thank goodness, we had Hunter Biden on the Barisma board 584 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 13: because that was central to his strategy to stand up 585 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 13: to Vladimir Putin. So all, no, he's been responsive to questions. 586 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: Does he told you exactly what value he brought to 587 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 3: any of these wars, any of these companies yet? 588 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 2: Have you guys asked him that? 589 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 13: Yeah, We've asked those questions, and there is there is 590 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 13: an illusory value. It is a mirage to believe that 591 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 13: Hunter Biden was engaged in international business. This was a 592 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 13: bribe masquerading as an international business transaction, nothing more, nothing less. 593 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 11: You just quickly asking do you feel your petuntory is 594 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 11: heading into correction where you actually be able to vote 595 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 11: on the. 596 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 8: Articles of engagements. 597 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 13: Well, here we're asking questions about these corrupt business practices. 598 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 13: I'm not really I'm not really framing that through the 599 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 13: lens of next steps. I'm just trying to get the facts. 600 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 5: I wrote that trying to port rust. 601 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. 602 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 2: I have to say I thought it was a pretty. 603 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 13: Strange I thought it was a pretty strange statement either. 604 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 13: Perhaps it jumps off the page when he says it 605 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 13: in his own words. 606 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 10: Do you think the busy specifically when we get the 607 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 10: president and we've seen evidence that the president was involved 608 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 10: in those business. 609 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 13: Stands, I believe that you can actually bribe someone by 610 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 13: paying their family members, Like, I don't get this construct 611 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 13: that inunless Joe Biden himself received cash that he somehow 612 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 13: wasn't involved in the bribery operation. 613 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: Joe Biden was doing the bidding of Barisma, he was 614 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 2: doing the. 615 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 13: Bidding of Chinese communists and his family was getting enriched 616 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 13: as a consequence. To me, that's a pretty strong case 617 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 13: for bribery. 618 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: That's a pretty strong case for bribery. This is going 619 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: to trickle out. I have a feeling more. I'm going 620 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: to cover it all for you.
