1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Married Christmas. That is the best way I can describe 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: what has just happened in the Senate. A huge victory 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: for the men and women that are willing to die 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: to protect our freedoms. The Senate has passed the defense 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: bill that repeals the military's coronavirus vaccine mandate. That's right. 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: The Senate on Thursday evening passed the National Defense Authorization Act, 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: known as the INDIAA. It repealed the Biden administration's military 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate. The Senate passed this bill HR seven seven 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: seven six for the fiscal year twenty twenty three. It 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: passed eighty three to eleven. The bill featured strong Biparson support. Now, 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: the INDIAA repeals Biden's military vaccine mandate. While many Senate 12 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Republicans cheered the repeal of the mandate, GOP senters such 13 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: as Senor Rick Scott said he would continue to fight 14 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: to give back pay to those that were wrongfully discharged. 15 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Let me say that again. He will continue GOOP Senor 16 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: Rick Scott and others to fight to give back pay 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: to those that were wrongfully discharged from our military. Now, Florida, 18 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: where Rick Scott's A Center from is home to twenty 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: one million, excuse me, twenty one military bases and three 20 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: unified commands, and proud of the important strategic role we 21 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: play in America's national defense, he said. As a member 22 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: of the sun Armed Services Committee, Scott said, I fought 23 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: hard this year to make sure the Sunshine State America's 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: national security initiatives, our military, our veterans, and their families 25 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: got big wins in this INDIAA Since coming to the 26 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: Senate for four years ago, I've consistently advocated for major 27 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: investment under defense capabilities and his support for his military 28 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: bases and our military families. The India that passed the 29 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,559 Speaker 1: Senate is a huge improvement over present Biden's lowfully inadequate 30 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: defense budget proposal and a great win for Florida America's 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: national security in our military community as well. But there's 32 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: still work to be done well. I'm glad, Senator Scott said, 33 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: this India resends the Pentagon's COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. I 34 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: will continue to fight so that every service member who 35 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: is wrongfully discharged has the opportunity to be reinstated with 36 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: back pay. Senator Steve Danes, a Republican from Montana, said, 37 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad to fight for Montana's brave men and women 38 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: in uniform and support for our national security. This obviously 39 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: is extremely important. He also decided it was important to 40 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: put out a video so that the people in the 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: military understood where he stood on this. Take a listen. 42 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: This year's bipartisan Defense package ends Biden's overreaching vaccine mandate 43 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: for Montana's service members. It includes a well deserved pay 44 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: raise for a military and it protects women from the 45 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: draft and strengthens our Nucleu triad to ensure that America's 46 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: military remains the very best and the most intimidating in 47 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: the world. This legislation contains a lot of big wins 48 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: for Montana's who wear the uniform and bolsters are national security. 49 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm very glad to support him. Senator Marsha Blackburn Tennessee said, 50 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: it's official. The Fiscal Year twenty twenty three Defense National 51 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: Defense Authorization Actors path Senate with my measure to repeal 52 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Biden's military COVID vaccine mandate. Thank goodness, the NDA passed, 53 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: meaning the bill will soon go to President Joe Biden's 54 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: desk for him to sign it. There's no indication at 55 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: this point that he would veto the bill, but then again, 56 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: you're dealing with Joe Biden, so you just never know. Now, 57 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: should and women that got kicked out of the military 58 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: for not being vaccinated to get back pay? Some Democrats 59 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: are saying no, they should not get back pay. I 60 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: believe they absolutely should get that back pay and they 61 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: should have never been kicked out of the the military in 62 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: the first place. Now, this is also happening at the 63 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: same time that Republicans are releasing unclassified report of COVID origins. 64 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: Before taking over the House majority House Intelligence Committee, Republicans 65 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: have released this unclassified summary of their report on the 66 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: origins of the Chinese coronavirus. They did this late Wednesday night, 67 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: less than a month before the party takes control of 68 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: the House, and the report that was released by the 69 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: minority staff members of the House Permanent Select Committee on 70 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: Intelligence was led by represented brad Winchhop, a Republican from Ohio. 71 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: It concluded that there have been quote indications that the 72 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: coronavirus was tied to China's biological weapons research program. Again, 73 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: China's biological weapons research program, so they were trying to 74 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: figure out a weapon to take out their enemies, and 75 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: it happened to be COVID nineteen. They say it had 76 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: spilled over to the human population during testing. However, the 77 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: Committee did not see any indication that it was intentionally 78 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: released by the Chinese military. Quote based on the Based 79 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: on our investigation involving a variety of public and non 80 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: public information, we conclude that there are indication that Stars 81 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: COVE two may have been tied to China's biological weapons 82 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: research program and spilled over to the human population during 83 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: elaborated incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The IC, 84 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: they went on to say, has failed to adequately address 85 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: this information. The Committee has not seen any indications that 86 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: the Chinese military intentionally released Stars COVID two. The minority 87 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: report also indicated the United States intelligence community also knows 88 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: the IC failed to inform the public and Congress about 89 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: the information the previously declassified version of the ICY report. 90 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: The Republicans believe that that information was withheld likely skewed 91 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: the public's understanding of key issues, saying this the ICs 92 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: declassified version also withheld other key information from the public 93 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: that was in the classified version. The committee believes that 94 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: this vital information could have been included in the declassified 95 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: version without harming national security. In fact, these emissions likely 96 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: skewed the public's understanding of the issues. The IC, they 97 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: went on to say, should be transparent regarding what it 98 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: does or does not know regarding the relationship between the 99 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: PLA's Fifth Institute of the Academy of Military Medical Science, 100 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: which China has publicly admitted conducts bioweapon research and coronavirus experiments, 101 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: and the WIV particularly during twenty nineteen when all this happened, 102 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: the IC failed, the Republicans say, to comply with numerous 103 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: requests for more information on these issues. The Committee will 104 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: continue to press the IC to share the information it 105 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: has and to explain why information was deliberately admitted from 106 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: to classified and the classified report, saying, quote, we just 107 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: want to get the truth and value the importance of 108 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: understanding the origins of COVID, the Republicans said in this release, 109 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: it has to do with our national security or national 110 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: health security. The congressman went on to say that the 111 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: declassified report released is ultimately just the quote beginning of 112 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: what the Republicans are finding out. As this party is 113 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: set to take control of the House in January. The 114 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: congressman added that he hopes to declassify the GOP's classified 115 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: report for the general public. He said, quote, you know, 116 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: in our report, no one is saying that we got 117 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: clear evidence that this was just what they did, and 118 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: they did something intentional. We don't have the smoking gun, 119 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: but we're just trying to get the truth, and I 120 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: think that all Americans should be in favor of that. 121 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: He added. As we dig deeper, maybe we'll come to 122 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: a conclusion that it didn't come from the lab, but 123 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: right now there's no evidence that it came from nature, 124 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: and normally to understand some of the science very deeply. 125 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: I want to move to another story that I think 126 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: is a really important one, and it deals with big 127 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: pressure on banking institutions to stop doing business with things 128 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: at the left decide or bad or evil. You may 129 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: remember earlier this year they wanted to officially start flagging 130 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: your bank account if you bought a gun or ammo 131 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: or anything at a gun store, so they could then 132 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: maybe turn you into the police that they thought it 133 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: was quote suspicious activity even though you're not breaking the law, 134 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: to stop you from mass shooters. There's also been a 135 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: push now for several years by those on the left 136 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: to try to make it where banking institutions will not 137 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: do banking or credit card companies will not do processing 138 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: for certain items or industries that the woke liberal left 139 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: doesn't like. Now you've probably heard of the bank I'm 140 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: about to tell you about. You've probably seen their log 141 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: when watching sports or soccer or Formula one or golf 142 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: or tennis. Europe's largest bank has just announced that they 143 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: are now going to halt all financing of new oil 144 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: and gas projects, a massive win for environmentalists. The Multinational 145 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: Investment Bank HSBC. HSBC has their capital letters next to it. 146 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: They have two triangles inside of a red logo. That's 147 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: their kind of logo. This massive bank, Europe's largest bank, 148 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: has announced that it will no longer finance new oil 149 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: and gas projects in order to meet the green agenda 150 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: goals of globalist elites who put pressure on the bank. 151 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: The largest bank in Europe, which has nearly three trillion okay, 152 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: when you think about how big that is, three trillion 153 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: dollars in assets, has said that it will no longer 154 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: finance new oil or gas fields to meet its commitment 155 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: to achieving the UK government's goal of reaching net zero 156 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: carbon emissions by the year twenty fifty. According to a 157 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: report from the BBC, HSBC came to the decision after 158 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: following consultation with leading scientific and international bodies. You know 159 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: when people talk about a one world government and the 160 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Green New Deal and all of these countries coming together 161 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: for these secret meetings, this is what they were working on. 162 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty. The British Bank already committed to investing 163 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: one trillion American dollars and to supposedly green energy sources, 164 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: as well as committing to net zero admissions. However, the 165 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: bank faced criticism from climate activists as it was revealed 166 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: that it had pumped eight point seven billion dollars into 167 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: new oil and gas projects last year. Hailing the move, 168 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: the chief executive at climate finance campaign Make My Money Matter, 169 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: Tony Burden, said it's another now on the coffin for 170 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: fossil fuel expansion and a massive signal to other UK 171 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: banks that the game is up on new oil and gas. 172 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: As one of the world's largest largest banks, HSBC has 173 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: been a key figure in the adoption of the Environmental, Social, 174 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: and Corporate Government Governance Scores, also known as the ESG. 175 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: Many woke institutions, not just banks, but manufacturing and other 176 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: industries get these scores. These ESG scores, they're basically we 177 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: put a gun to your head. We give you a 178 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: bad score. You do all the things we tell you 179 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: to do, like not finance, for example, with this bank 180 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: oil and gas, and then we'll give you a better score. 181 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: The scheme is a form of leftist activism which financial 182 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: investments are incentivized to take into account social and political 183 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: positions which do not necessarily benefit their business, such as 184 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,119 Speaker 1: climate goals or the imposition of diversity, equity and inclusion 185 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: hiring practices, and then you get your score. Commenting on 186 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: its ESG commitments, the bank said, quote, we are powering 187 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: new solutions to the climate crisis and supporting the transition 188 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: to a low carbon future. We are building an inclusive 189 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: organization that prioritizes well being, invest in learning and careers, 190 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: and prepares our colleges for the future of work. Quote. 191 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: And we uphold high standards of corporate governments and ensure 192 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: we meet our responsibilities to society. Communist China polluted more 193 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: than eight years, polluted more in eight years. Just so 194 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, to put it in comparison than Britain since 195 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: the start of the Industrial Revolution. Let me say that again, 196 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Communist China has polluted more in the last eight years 197 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: than Britain has polluted the world since the start of 198 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: the Industrial Revolution. And new report says, now does that 199 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: matter no, because when you are woke like these banks 200 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: are now being held hostage by the left, you do 201 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: whatever the hell they tell you to do so you 202 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: don't lose future investors. Now, the Bank has been criticized 203 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: for the timing of the move to cut off all 204 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: new oil and gas expenditures during one of the largest 205 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: energy crisises in decades, causing a no small part by 206 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: European governments pursuing allegedly green forms of energy rather than 207 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: on reliable fossil fuel sources that have left their country's 208 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: reliant on authoritarian regimes in the Mid East and to Moscow, 209 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: with Ladimir Putin also making these dictators and tyrants very rich. 210 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Commentating on the HSBC's announcement, Brexit leader Nigel Farrage mocked 211 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: the bank for being so virtuous and so wonderful, saying 212 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: not only is this another act of self inflicted lunacy 213 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: on the United Kingdom because we need people in those sectors. 214 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: We need jobs, we need tax revenues. But we are 215 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: going to have to use the gas and oil anyway, 216 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: will just import it from somewhere else under worse environmental 217 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: standards than in the UK. He's absolutely right. This is 218 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,479 Speaker 1: madness that has gripped the corporate world. It's damaging our country. 219 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: Mister Farrage added, including we need a leader that stands 220 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: up and says enough now. The biggest bank in Europe, HSBC, 221 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: has also come under criticism for its close relationship with 222 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: the world's number one polluter, communist China, even going so 223 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: far as to de bank pro democracy activists and politicians 224 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: in Hong Kong, as well as supporting the imposition of 225 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: the CPP or the CCP excuse me, Chinese Communist parties 226 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: draconian national security law which is all but crushed the 227 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: protest movement in the in the former British colony. So 228 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: the same bank that's now telling you they won't invest 229 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: in oil and gas has colluded with the Chinese Communist Party. 230 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: They have de banked democracy advocates and activists, and they 231 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: have de banked individuals in Hong Kong that they said 232 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: do it too. That's the same bank now that's telling 233 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: you we won't invest in oil in gas. Now, this 234 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: bank they refer to themselves as a multinational investment bank. 235 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: Not only have they colluded with the Chinese Communist Party 236 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: to de bank pro freedom campaigners in Hong Kong, but 237 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: they've also seized bank accounts are frozen them if you 238 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: were outside of Hong Kong trying to have influence on 239 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: Hong Kong. The founder of the Hong Kong Watch said 240 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: that the bank chief executives are grilling people connected with 241 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: the uprisings. In fact, last month alone, HSBC froze the 242 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: accounts of a church in Hong Kong that provided humanitarian 243 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: assistance to protesters during the massive movement against the National 244 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: Security Law which was illegally imposed on the city by 245 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: the communist dictator in Beijing. So they'll freeze the assets 246 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: of banks, bank accounts of churches, and then they won't 247 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: give money to oil and gas exploration. You can't make 248 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: this insanity up all right quickly. Also want to say 249 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: thank you to our sponsor.

Deputy NDI and our 272 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: government warned the Hunter Biden laptop was quote not Russian disinformation. 273 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: So what happened? CNN's Natasha Bertrand wrote a now discredit 274 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: story anyway, knowing it was a lie. Yeah. Former Deputy 275 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence Cliff Simms stated yesterday that he 276 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: warned a CNN reporter, Natasha Burtrand that Hunter Biden's laptop 277 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: was not Russian disinformation before she wrote the infamous and 278 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: now discredited Politico story, which used dozens of former Intel 279 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: officials to push a false and misleading narrative about the 280 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: origins of Hunter Biden's laptop. Now, this scumbag, Bert Ran, 281 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: a reporter for Politico at the time, approached then Deputy 282 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: d NI all Right, the director of our National Intelligence, 283 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: Simms on October the nineteen, twenty twenty, regarding an article 284 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: that she was writing about fifty former intelligence officials claiming 285 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. Yes, Bright Bart 286 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: News Emma Joe Morris had a few days earlier broken 287 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: the laptop from Hell story, which Big Tech censored in 288 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: The New York Post. Simms has now told Bertlin before 289 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: the publication of the Politico story that quote the laptop 290 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: from Hell was not Russian disinformation, citing then Director of 291 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: National Intelligence John Radcliffe. Radcliffe has gone on the record 292 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: in the last week as well, saying they knew, referring 293 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: to the media, they knew that this was real, and 294 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: they lied to the American people. Now, despite Simms warning, 295 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: Burtrand wrote the story anyway and gave the Democrats the 296 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: headline they all desperately wanted and needed. On October sixteenth, 297 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: a few days before Bertrand approached Simms, Representative Adam Schiff, 298 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: the Democrat from California, falsely claimed the New York Post 299 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: story about the Laptop from Hell was part of a 300 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: Russian attempt to smear then candidate Joe Biden for the presidency. 301 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: Radcliffe had condemned Schiff's false claim, and Simms relayed that 302 00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: to the author as background for her now debunked political story, 303 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: but Bert red ignored the governments the Director of National 304 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: Intelligence statements which contradicted the narratives she wanted to push. 305 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: With the dozens of former Intel officials, Simms explained that 306 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: timeline via Twitter thread exposing all this, saying quote, I 307 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: was serving as Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Strategy 308 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: and Communications in twenty twenty, so during the height of 309 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: the election season. I was part of the then Director 310 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: of National Intelligence, John Radcliffe's small circle of advisors, and 311 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: part of my job was handling reporter inquiries, particularly if 312 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: they dealt directly with the Director of National Intelligence. On 313 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: October the sixteenth, Representative Adam Schiffs suggests that the laptop 314 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: might be part of a Russian effort to smear Biden. 315 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: On October the nineteenth, John Radcliffe said, there's no intel 316 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: to support schiffs lie. The press played it like it 317 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: was a battle. History has proven who was a liar 318 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: and politicize their position clearly, referring to Representative Adam Schiff. Then, 319 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: on October nineteenth, a Politico reporter Natash Bertrand prepped a 320 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: story about fifty former Intel officials claiming the Biden laptop 321 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: story was Russian disinformation. I warned her that it is 322 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: not and pointed her to Ratcliffe's statement, She writes it 323 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: anyway and gives Democrats the headline they wanted right before 324 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: the election. Simms also stated that this reporter had never 325 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: admitted she pushed false and misleading information at Politico that 326 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: likely impact of the twenty twenty election. In fact, Bertrand 327 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: was shortly thereafter hired by none other than CNN, which 328 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: had been pushing the false narratives spun by Politico her 329 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: article about Hunter Biden's laptop being Russian disinformation.
