1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: There is a showdown that is taking place literally at 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: the southern border. It is between the Republicans when it 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: comes to the issue of funding and Democrats who are 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: refusing to secure the border. The new Speaker of the House, 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson, went to the southern border, something that the 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: Democrats refused to do. Certainly that one main Democrat who 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: is supposed to be the border czar, the Vice President, 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. Now, I'm going to deal with all that 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: in a moment, but first there's something else that I 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: want you to know about that's just broken, and it 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: deals with Hunter Biden, his artwork and who's been buying 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: that artwork, and massive corruption that is now being exposed. 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: This is coming from the New York Sun. The headline 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: hunter Biden's art patron, her grand niece released from captivity, 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: will be key witness as GOP seeks to prove influence 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: pedaling scheme. 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: Now, let me explain that headline for you just a 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: little bit. 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: When there were Americans that were taken hostage on that 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: attack by Hamas on Israel, there were multiple Americans that 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: were taken. There was one American that was released right away. 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: The first American to be released, and we found out 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: that it was the grand niece of a investor, right, 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: someone who had bought Hunter Biden artwork and also had 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: direct ties to Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the Biden 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: crime family. 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: The purchaser of paintings by Hunter Biden. 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Hirsch also served as a senior fundraiser for the 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential campaign of Joe Biden. She was rewarded 30 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: for that fundraising as a senior fundraiser with a seat 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: on the prestigious Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. Now, 32 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: these types of seats are usually filled by different people 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: that work with a politician, raise money for a politician, 34 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: and do all these things for people to get elected. 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: And this is kind of their thank you and how 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: it works. 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: Now, let me get into this so you understand just 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: how shocking all these details are. So this prominent Democratic 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: Party donor, she knew how to play the game. She 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: understood that she needed to raise money for the presidential 41 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: campaign to get a prominent job, and then to get 42 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: other favors, she needed to purchase art. 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: From Hunter Biden. 44 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Hirsch is expected now to be a key witness. 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: And this makes sense because the House Impeachman investigators in 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: the new year are saying they're going to try to 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: prove the existence of an influence peddling machine between the 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: bi of IT sector. 49 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: Now. 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: Elizabeth's lawyers previously told Congress, in response to a subpoena 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: from the Oversight Committee Chairman, Congressman James Comer, that she 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: could not tell FI because her grand niece had been 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: kidnapped by Hamas on October the seventh. The Child Fast 54 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: Forward was the very first American to be released in 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: late November during that brief cease fire and hostages for 56 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: prisoner exchange with Israel. So, bam, you buy artwork and 57 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: that's apparently what it costs to get your family member 58 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: out from being a hostage from Hamas. Pretty impressive, right, 59 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: great return on your investment. Not only that, but Elizabeth 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: is the heir to a garment and real estate mogul fortune. 61 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: She served as a finance committee member for both the 62 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: Clinton Hillary Clinton twenty sixteen campaign and as a senior 63 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: finance chair for the Biden twenty twenty campaign. She was 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: also a deputy finance chair for the day Democratic National Committee. 65 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: So she understands this game, folks. 66 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: She understands that to keep her influence, buying artwork from 67 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was a great way of doing it. In fact, 68 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: she was no different than what they were doing in Russia, Romania, 69 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine and in communist China. You buy art or you 70 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: hire Hunter Biden for a job that he doesn't do, 71 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: and then you get access to the big guy. 72 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: Here's something else that you need to understand. 73 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: When she was unmasked as a patron of mister Biden's 74 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: lucrative career as a self trained artist, insider her again 75 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: first reported that Elizabeth had purchased up to a half 76 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: a million dollars worth of artwork from the first son, 77 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: who's powerful and impactful paintings. This is how they describe 78 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: them at the gallery range from photogenic to mix media 79 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: to the abstract now. According to the gallery, which marketed 80 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: this artwork at prices that many art experts have come 81 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 1: out publicly and said, we're insanely high for one someone 82 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: that was never in the business, and to a self 83 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: trained artist at the beginning of their career fetching a 84 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: half million dollars or more for artwork. This is what 85 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: the By the way, the United States government warned about 86 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: as a way to basically. 87 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: Clean money, to bribe people, to wash money. 88 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: Is because art is right worth what the the purchaser 89 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: is willing to pay. 90 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: It's all in the eye of the beholder. 91 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: And this is a way to clean money and launder 92 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: money is through artwork. 93 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 2: We've known this now for a long time. Also jewelry. 94 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: They, in fact, the IRS even warned of this being 95 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: a way to funnel money through jewelry and through artwork, 96 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: because who are you to say that Hunter Biden's piece 97 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: of art isn't worth actually half a million dollars? Well, 98 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: art experts say this is insane. So you go from 99 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: that to July of twenty twenty two. All right, So 100 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: rewind about a year and a half. The President of 101 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: the United States of America appointed this woman to the 102 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: prestigious Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. It's 103 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: an American body chaired by television celebrity star Jones Okay, 104 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: that focuses on protecting Jewish heritage sites in Eastern Europe. 105 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: It's not clear if this woman appointment came before or 106 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: after the purchase of Hunter Biden's art, So the Committee 107 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: chairman leading the investigation, a good friend of the show, 108 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: James Comer, said, all right, we want to know when 109 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: the art was purchased. We have simple questions that we 110 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: like to raise, and we have committee concerns here and 111 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: this should not be hard to answer these questions. Now, 112 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: this is I think clear examples of the Biden's influence peddling. 113 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: That's exactly, by the way, what James Comer said, and 114 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: that's why Comber subpoenaed Elizabeth to appear before this deposition 115 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: before his committee after these reports disclosed that she was 116 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: one of mister Biden's biggest spending art patrons. Now, the 117 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: lawyers for Elizabeth, Jason Ebel, and a spokesman for the 118 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee, have not returned requests for comments from 119 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: The New York Sun on this quote. The facts remain 120 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: that Elizabeth emineity regarding her purchase of Hunter Biden's art 121 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: is no more, and her position on the prestigious commission 122 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: within the Biden administration raises the committee's concerns. That is 123 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: what mister Comer wrote to her lawyer on November ninth. Quote, today, 124 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: your client has refused to provide any other requested information 125 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: The committee therefore intends to question her, among other things, 126 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: about her purchase of Hunter Biden's artwork and her appointment 127 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: to the US Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. 128 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: Now Democrats, of course, are coming out slamming mister Comer 129 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: for issuing the subpoena while the woman was under quote 130 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: duress because her then three year old grand niece had 131 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: been kidnapped by a Hamas after her parents were killed 132 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: in southern Israel on October the seventh. They said, this 133 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: is just flat out wrong and you shouldn't be getting 134 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: her to ask questions. Well, my question is this now, 135 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: can she answer questions? Can she answer questions this time? 136 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Since her niece was the only American to get out 137 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: during that prisoner swap, the first American to get out 138 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: during that ceasefire in prisoner swap, that's the question we 139 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: should be asking. You also have mister Burgess, who is 140 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: I've been overseeing the sale of Hunter's paintings. We also 141 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: now know that he will be called to testify before 142 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee as well. This on top of Elizabeth, 143 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: this Los Angeles real estate developer who paid big bucks 144 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: for Hunter's paintings and also facing new subpoenas will be 145 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: Hunter's business associates, Eric Squerren and a Chinese businessman, mister Yan. 146 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: Now let me go through this part so you understand 147 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: as the House Republicans are starting to connect these dots, 148 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: they're basically seeing one consistent theme. These are not art 149 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: collectors that are buying this artwork. These are people that 150 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: are buying access and are involved in democratic politics. Now 151 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: go back to Elizabeth what I said about her a 152 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: moment ago. She's a twenty sixteen megabundler for Hillary Clinton, 153 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: She's a bundler for the Democratic National Committee, She's a bundler, 154 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: mega donor and fundraiser for or Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Like, 155 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: this is not an art person. This is a political 156 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: person who's buying art that is directly connected to the 157 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: political world that she wants to exist in. So look 158 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: at George Burgess, who's been overseeing the sale of Hunter's paintings. 159 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: He should be called, by the way, to testify before 160 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee. And the reason why is because 161 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: he knows who's buying all of this artwork. These four 162 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: new congressional summons come on the heels of two unprecedents 163 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: of poenis to Joe's family, including his son Hunter and 164 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: brother James. 165 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: And remember, Hunter Biden didn't. 166 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: Show up for that, right, he showed up to Capitol Hill, 167 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: he did the press conference, said he was a drug addict, 168 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: made some bad decisions with his money, but he done 169 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: nothing wrong, and leave him alone and stop harassing him. 170 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: YadA, YadA, YadA. That didn't work very well at Backfire. 171 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: There are new indictments against Hunter Biden that makes the 172 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: case against him even stronger for Republicans to accelerate their 173 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: impeachment probe into Joe Biden and his alleged links to 174 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: his family shitty business dealings. Now, I go back to 175 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: the same question I ask over and over again when 176 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: I'm when I'm doing you know this show and on 177 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: TV and on Fox today, there's a simple question we 178 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: should all ask.

No? 189 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: Is he an expert anything in Ukraine. No is he 190 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: an expert anything in Russia?

The product was his dad. That's the product. 196 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: James Comer understands this. James Comer, who is slammed the 197 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: Biden crime family for refusing to answer these questions. And 198 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: of course Democrats always play, you know, the what about 199 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: is and they're like, well, poor Elizabeth, you know, how 200 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: dare they a subpoena her while there's a three year 201 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: old child that's been uh you know, that's been taken hostage? 202 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: And somehow this is all the fault of Republicans, not Democrats. 203 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Right Representative Dan Goldman, who's basically an acting attorney. 204 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: For the Biden crime family. He's a Democrat from New York. 205 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: He went on ax Twitter and said, Elizabeth three old 206 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: niece is currently. 207 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: Being held hostage by hamas Ya. 208 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: James Comer is spending his time subpoenaing a private subpoenaing 209 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: a private citizen as part of his wild goose chase, 210 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: rather than working to return her family from captivity. This 211 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: is a new low from House Republicans. Okay, A, she 212 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: was returned. B she was put clearly to the front 213 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: of the line over other Americans. 214 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: And see, you can do two things at once. 215 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: There is no reason why this should have been an 216 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: excuse for her. 217 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: Not to answer questions. 218 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: But even if you say it was inappropriate, wrong, let's 219 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: say I agree with that for a second hypothetically, which 220 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't. 221 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: Let's say I do. 222 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: Now the three year old has been returned, then shouldn't 223 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: she have to answer these questions now? Now the committee, 224 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: by the way, is also and this is another aspect 225 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: of this. They're also requesting interviews with Americorp Health trustee 226 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: Carol Fox, a business associate, Joey Langston, a Ukrainian American 227 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: businessman and longtime donor to Joe Biden and an associate 228 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: of them of theirs as well. Jason galanis the House 229 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee. They say, we're leaving no stone unturned as 230 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: we continue to investigate President Joe Biden's quote central role 231 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: in his family's domestic at international business dealings. Now in 232 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: July of twenty twenty two, eight months after Hunter's exhibition opened. 233 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: In New York. 234 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden then appointed, as I mentioned earlier, Elizabeth to 235 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: the Committee for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. 236 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: It's not clear whether she had already purchased the artwork. 237 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: That's a question they should be able to answer, And 238 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: that's a question you shouldn't have to subpoena her to 239 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: get the answer, because if this is not nefarious, and 240 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: she's genuinely just an art collector, you would think that 241 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: the timing of that buying that art wouldn't matter. So 242 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: tell us when you bought that art. Now, the White House, 243 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: by the way, is involved heavily in this art. Let 244 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: me explain what I mean by that. The White House 245 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: announced that a team of lawyers had quote reviewed the 246 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: sales and kept purchasers anonymous from Hunter Biden as a 247 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: way to avoid potential conflicts of interest when buyers headed 248 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: hefty sale prices to the present Son. If anybody believes 249 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: that you're an idiot, swearin who's Hunter's longtime business partner 250 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: at Rosemont Seneca. We also found out during the same 251 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: time period visited the White House more than twenty seven 252 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: times during the Obama administration. So the lie that Joe 253 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: Biden was not involved in the Sun's business dealings, there's 254 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven meetings that say that's not true. Now, membership 255 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: of the commission that this woman was appointed to is unpaid, right, 256 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: And it wasn't about the money. 257 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: It's about prestige. 258 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: It's filled by friends and close allies and fundraisers of 259 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America, much like ambassadorships. 260 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: So she is prominent in California Democratic circles. She's given 261 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: max donations the Biden campaign. Personally, she's donated the max 262 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: donations to the Democratic National Committee last year. Last year 263 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: she shows a fundraiser that was headlined by Vice President 264 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. And it's also not clear how much money 265 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: she actually paid for Hunter's art. Now we also have 266 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: found this out. One single purchaser spent eight hundred and 267 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand on eleven of Hunter's paintings through though 268 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: the identity of that person is quote unclear. 269 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: The buyer apparently. 270 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: Does not reside in New York and is listed as 271 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: out of state in the purchasing documents obtained by Insider. 272 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: The gallery receives a forty to forty five percent commission 273 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: on the total one point three seven to nine million 274 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: in sales. Now, the new subpoena has come after Comer's 275 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: James Cummers slapped Hunter and James Biden with sipoenas as 276 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: part of the Republican impeachment investigation to the Biden family 277 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: business dealings. The committee has requested that Hunter Biden come 278 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: in on December thirteenth. 279 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: Obviously, he refused to appear. 280 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: And Hunter's attorney Ablow said in a statement the present 281 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: son would quote comply with a subpoena. He called it 282 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: a political stunt at the time and said, nevertheless, Hunter 283 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: is eager to have the opportunity in public form, in 284 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: a public forum and at the right time to discuss 285 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: these matters with the committee. Well we know now they said, no, 286 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: we want, we want a deposition from you, the same 287 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: type of deposition that you got out of Donald Trump's 288 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: children when he was the president. 289 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 2: Never forget that. 290 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: The Republicans need to put their head down on this 291 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: and they need to go full speed ahead and they 292 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: need to stop at nothing to get these answers. 293 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: This is important and it should be treated that way. 294 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: Now I want to move to the border as well, 295 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: because I want you to hear what Speaker Johnson said 296 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: is he visited the border with a delegation a lot 297 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: of Republicans went down to the border, and he was 298 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: asked a question by the media. This is that the 299 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: border is completely out of control. There was more than 300 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: fifty thousand illegal immigrants that came across the southern border 301 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: this past weekend, the New Year's weekend, from the numbers 302 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: that we've received, And I want you to hear the 303 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: question that was asked of the speaker. 304 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 2: Listen carefully, Ali Radley here with a musation. I'm wondering. 305 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 6: We've seen over seven million people encounter under this administration. 306 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 6: Many of them have been released into our country with 307 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 6: notices to appear at DHS has even said that many 308 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 6: of them don't qualify for asylum. Just last month, we 309 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 6: saw three hundred two thousand encounters, two hundred and forty 310 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 6: five thousand of them released with an NTA. Should a 311 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 6: Republican win of the election here coming up, would the 312 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 6: Republican Party be in. 313 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 7: Favor of mass deportations? 314 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 6: And what is that look like? 315 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: Are we going born a door? 316 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 6: Are you going into businesses. What would that look like 317 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 6: if the Republican Party support. 318 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 8: I can tell you it's a very complicated, complex issue 319 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 8: just finding those people you heard represented Van Dine say earlier. Tragically, 320 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 8: nearly one hundred thousand undocumented children who were unaccompanied who 321 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 8: came across the border unaccompanied minors have been lost into 322 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 8: the system. The administration has lost track of these children 323 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 8: after they've been released. These people are given a notice 324 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 8: to return for an immigration hearing. Sometimes it's four years 325 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 8: into the future. They don't show up. A very tiny 326 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 8: percentage show up. So the first problem would be even 327 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 8: identifying all these people. The point is the longer we wait, 328 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 8: the longer we delay the closure and security of this border, 329 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 8: the greater the crisis and the problem. We don't have 330 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 8: a specific prescription yet that we're proposing because we haven't 331 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 8: gotten to that point. But I do believe in large 332 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 8: measure because of this issue, I do think that we're 333 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 8: going to have a change in the White House. I 334 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 8: think we're going to have a Republican president. I think 335 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 8: we're going to win the Senate and we're going to 336 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 8: expand the majority of the House. 337 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 3: Are not. 338 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: Now the question there if a Republican wins in twenty 339 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: twenty four with a GOPB and favorite mass deportation of 340 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. 341 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: He says, we haven't gotten to that point. 342 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: I think you should have answered that question said yes, absolutely. 343 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: There is no way that we're going to reward people 344 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: crumbing across our southern border by giving them the American 345 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: dream after they break our laws. Absolutely not. I don't 346 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: believe that. Now there is some good news here, and 347 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: that is this. We also know now that the Household 348 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: and Security Committee Chairman Mark Green has come out announcing 349 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: an impeachment hearing finally against my Orcis next week, saying 350 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: the greatest domestic threat to the national security and the 351 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: safety the American people. As Secretary Alejandro Myorcis, he is right, 352 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: by the way to say that that way. He's absolutely 353 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: right to call them out, and he should have done 354 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: it a long time ago. 355 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 2: Now. 356 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: While as while this is happening all right, their Democrats 357 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: are going in the opposite direction. California, starting January one, 358 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: is now offering full health insurance to illegal immigrants in California. 359 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: This is insane. Now, let me remind you what California 360 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: just did. California and Gavin Newsom actually had a ninety 361 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: seven billion dollar budget surplus. Okay, so that's ninety seven 362 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: billion dollars that they overtax the people of Califlifornia. What 363 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: do they do once they saw they had a ninety 364 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: seven billion dollar budget surplus, they blew it immediately. 365 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 2: California. 366 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: Not only do they blow the ninety seven billion dollar surplus, 367 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: but they now have a sixty eight billion dollar budget deficit, 368 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five billion dollar budget swing. And 369 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: there is not one single thing the California Democrats can 370 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: point to that is actually good for the American. 371 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: People or the citizens. 372 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: Instead, they're giving away health insurance to illegal immigrants that 373 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: are flooding across the border. 374 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: Listen to this from Fox Business. 375 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 5: We told you about California becoming the first state to 376 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 5: offer health insurance to all undocumented migrants. 377 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: Joining me now is the matter of alcohol. 378 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: In California is now? Billy, your honor. 379 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: Are the people in your city having to pay for this? 380 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 9: The people in Santego, Kenny are obviously having to pay 381 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 9: for this. I mean, we're seeing seventy thousand people come 382 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 9: across the border in the last three months. You know, 383 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 9: we're going to see seven hundred and fifty thousand people 384 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 9: be added to the health that roles through medical in 385 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 9: California alone. California is already almost eighty billion dollars in 386 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 9: the whole. 387 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 4: So this is definitely going to hurt everybody. 388 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 9: And you know, I want to talk about basic fairness, 389 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 9: I'm go. 390 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 4: Ahead, No, no, go ahead. 391 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about fanness? 392 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: I'm interested in that. Make your point, well, basic fairness. 393 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 9: California is so expensive, but San Diego Kenny, where I lives, 394 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 9: the most expensive place to live in the entire nation. 395 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 9: Our energy rates are the most expensive, our gas rates 396 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 9: are the most expensive. And now you're going to add 397 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 9: on the cost of paying for all this healthcare when 398 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 9: people that are working and that are citizens of America 399 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 9: and citizens of California are having a great difference difficulty 400 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 9: finding the money to pay for their health insurance and 401 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 9: even their home insurance. So it's California is a very 402 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 9: difficult place to live, and it's just going to make 403 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 9: it worse. 404 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is going to make it a lot worse. 405 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: And they know this and they don't care because they're 406 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: putting illegal immigrants on purpose ahead of American citizens trying 407 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: to destroy that state and bankrupt that state. And the 408 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: reason why is because they want to fundamentally remake the 409 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: United States of America. 410 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: They don't like it. They don't like. 411 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: That people are successful here. They don't like that we 412 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: are a place that actually has laws. All right, now, 413 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: the White House finally having to come out and defend 414 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: my archists, who is going to be I have this 415 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: impeachment inquiry for him clearly not doing his job, not 416 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: protecting this country, allowing for a wide open border with 417 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: seven million legal immigrants that come across, and more people 418 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: that were caught on the terrace watch list last year 419 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: in the last five years combined. White House Press Secretary 420 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: had this to say when she was asked about the administration. 421 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: Do they stand behind him? I agree. 422 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 9: A House committee is moving ahead with impeachment proceedings against secretary. 423 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: In my orchis, there's a hearing schedule for next week. 424 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 2: So I'd just like to get the White. 425 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: House response, and also just to clarify, does the President 426 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: still have confidence in the secretary? 427 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 428 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,239 Speaker 10: The President has confidence in the secretary, I think, and 429 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 10: I've said this moments ago. I said it at the 430 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 10: top as well. We believe that what they're doing, the 431 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 10: House Republicans are doing with this impeachment in Crey is baseless. 432 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 10: We believe that it's a political stunt, and we believe 433 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 10: there's not there's no time for that right now. There 434 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 10: are things that the American people want us to get done, 435 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 10: and that's what they should focus on. And you know it, 436 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 10: it is unfortunate that this is where the House Republicans, 437 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 10: that's the road that they want to go down with 438 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 10: this impeachment proceeding. That is really unfortunate when the American 439 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 10: people have been very clear they want us to see 440 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 10: they want us to work in a bipartisan way to 441 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 10: get things to for them, and that's what the President wants. 442 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 2: And that's what the President wants. He wants to get 443 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: things done. 444 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: President also coming out lying at the White House, as 445 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: he's walking into the White House from another I guess vacation, 446 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: a reporter screams this question, quote, are you going to 447 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: do anything about the southern border? Mister President Joe Biden 448 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: responds with what the reporter the southern border? Are you 449 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: going to do anything about it? The record number of migrants, 450 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: also known as the legal immigrants. Biden quote, we got 451 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: to do something. They ought to give me the money 452 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 1: I need to protect the border. That's just a lie. 453 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: He has the authority and the money to do what 454 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: he wants to do. Now, Democrats are hoping for a 455 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: showdown financially. Sources coming out saying the Senate border negotiators 456 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: are quote far from a deal. Democrats like Chuck Schumer 457 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: love this. Here's what Schumer had to say on Capitol 458 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: Hill today when. 459 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 5: The House clings to HR two as the only solution, 460 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 5: which every Democrat has voted against, I believe both House 461 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 5: and Senate. I certainly every Senator voted, Every Democratic Senator 462 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 5: voted against it. 463 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: I think every Democratic Council. 464 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 5: Member voted against it as well, and if not, it 465 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 5: was almost every one. We're not going to get a 466 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 5: deal with, but I think that if we pass something 467 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 5: in the Senate. 468 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 4: Look, we're working hard to get that done. As I said, 469 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: it's hard, it's hard. 470 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: We're not going to get it done. We're far from 471 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: a deal, but we're going to get it done. We're 472 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: going to get it done. 473 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: Since when, right, I mean since when? That's the big 474 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: question here. CNN had a grand debate about this earlier 475 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: as well, is what are they doing. Is that House 476 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: Republicans at the headline says the bottom of the screens 477 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: is House Republicans look to put Biden on defense with 478 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: a border visit. 479 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: Listen to this from and this is even CNN saying 480 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: this now. 481 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 3: And Priscilla, you talked to Biden officials all day long, 482 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 3: every day. They are very well aware of how big 483 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 3: of a problem. First and foremost, just the substance of 484 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: what we're talking about. And let's just set the table. 485 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: You heard ed talk about December. We don't have the 486 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 3: official numbers yet, but it looks like they are the 487 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 3: highest on record the number of migrants coming from the 488 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 3: Mexican border. Just in perspective, let's look at what we've 489 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: seen in the past. Twenty fourteen, thought it was pretty 490 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 3: high then, not even five hundred thousand, twenty nineteen, not 491 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 3: even a million, twenty twenty three, two point six million. 492 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 7: Here's what the bidensgistration is up against.
