1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: New FBI documents are out, and those documents obviously allege 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: that there was a bribery scheme with President Joe Biden 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: when he was the Vice president, taking money for favors 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: with the US government. We now have learned more about 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: the business person and what country that person is from, 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: that sent what is being described now as a quote 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: substantial bribe. Okay, bribe. They're using the word bribe, a 8 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: substantial bribe to then Vice President Joe Biden. I'm going 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: to tell you about that in a moment, but before 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: we get to that, I want to address another issue 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: that deals with former Vice President Mike Pence. Mike Pence 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: has announced he's running for president, and during his campaign launch, 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: he decided to start whacking at his former boss, his 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: former running mate, Donald Trump. Former Vice President Pence is 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: joining the twenty twenty four presidential Republican primary field, and 16 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: on Penns held a campaign kickoff event in Iowa and 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: made a negative comparison between the former president Donald Trump 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: and President Joe Biden, saying, quote, most Americans treat each 19 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: other with kindness and respect, even when we disagree. We 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: know how to be good neighbors. It's not too much 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: to ask our leaders to do the same, the former 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: Vice president said. Pence continued, quote, but sadly, it's clear 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: that neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump share this belief, 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: and neither of them intend to even try to bring 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: our country together. I believe it's not just about civility 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: to craft real solutions to the monumental challenges the American 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: people are facing at home and abroad. We need leaders 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: who will lead with respect for every American. He added, 29 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: all right, let me just rip this apart real quick. 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: Mike Pence, and I want to make it clear I'm 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: not supporting him. I said, I wasn't going to get 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: very involved in the primaries, but in this case, I'm 33 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: happy to get involved. Mike Pence and this idea that 34 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: he can bring people together, that we should bring people together, 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: he is either incompetent, stupid, or amazingly naive to even 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: imply this. Let me explain why. The fact that Mike 37 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Pence believes that we can come together as a country 38 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: right now, when we have the radical communists and socialists 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: that have taken over in many parts of this country 40 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: and want to totally change his country, shows you just 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: how incompetent and or naive and or stupid. He actually 42 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: is this idea that he's saying, I believe is civility, 43 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: and I believe that neither of these men intend to 44 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: try to bring our country together. I want to make 45 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: this clear. I don't want to bring this country together. 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: I want to win, and I want to beat communism 47 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: and socialism. I don't want to morph conservatism together with communism. 48 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to morph socialism and the transgendered woke agenda. 49 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to morph it into some sort of 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: kumbayaut togetherness with hardcore conservative, evangelical Christian values. And what 51 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: Mike Penti is saying is he's saying, hey, vote for 52 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: me because I will bring our country together. I don't 53 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: want these two sides to come together. I want to win. 54 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: I want to beat them. Now this idea, he says, quite. 55 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: I believe it's just about civility to craft real solutions 56 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: to the monumental challenges. Well, here's the thing that ship 57 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: has sailed, Mike. The left and the socialists and communists 58 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: of the Joe Biden Party, the Kamala Harris's, the AOCS, 59 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: the people that tried a coup attempt and to put 60 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: the president of the United States America in prison. They're 61 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: still trying to do this, So Donald Trump, those individuals 62 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: don't want to craft real solutions, they don't want to 63 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: be civil. They try to overthrow the will of the 64 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: people in a coup attempt. They try to put people 65 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: in prison and weaponize our government to attack us. This 66 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: idea that if you win, you're gonna bring us together 67 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: is another part of the problem with you. This is 68 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: a huge part of the problem with Mike Pence. He 69 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: believes somehow that you should be able to bring people up. No, 70 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: this is about winning and losing. This is one hundred 71 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: percent about winning and about losing. There is no civility 72 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: left in politics. You either win or you lose because 73 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 1: these two ideological viewpoints clearly to me, are incompatible with Kumbaya. Look, 74 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: I would love I want to make this also clear. 75 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: I would love to go back to the good old 76 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: days where Republicans and Democrats could could sit down and 77 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: have a conversation like Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan did 78 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: when they work together to get the Iranian hostages out, 79 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: when they work together to take on communists and and 80 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: the Cold War in Russia. That is gone now because 81 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party used to not be crazy socialist communists 82 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: they are. The Democratic Party is dead. Okay, I'm gonna 83 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: say it again. The Democratic Party is dead. It died 84 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: a long time ago. It is now a communist socialist 85 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: party masquerading as a Democratic Party. I could get along 86 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: with Richard get Part how I could get along even 87 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: some of Bill Clinton. I could get along with Dick 88 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Durbin back in the day. Not anymore. Hell, I could 89 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: get along with Joe Biden thirty five forty years ago, 90 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: but not anymore, because they're no longer Democrats. They have 91 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: moved to communism and socialism. They've moved to weaponizing our 92 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: government to lock up their political opponents and harass their 93 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: political opponents. They have moved into coup attempts, they have 94 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: moved into harassment through the IRS. And for Mike Pince 95 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: right now to come out and say, but sadly, it's 96 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: clear that neither Joe Biden r Donald Trump share this 97 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: belief of kumbaiism, and neither of them intend to even 98 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: try to bring our country together. I don't want to 99 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: bring this country together. I want to win, just like 100 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: the left wants to win. They don't want to bring 101 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: this country together either. They're fighting for communism and socialism. 102 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm fighting for democracy and freedom of speech. I'm I'm 103 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: I'm fighting for our constitution that they're trying to destroy. 104 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: These two things are like oil and water, that you 105 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: can shake them up as much as you want, and 106 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: they will always be separate. They will never come together. 107 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: There's also something else about Mike Pence. Mike Pence is 108 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: one of those holier than now guys. I want to 109 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: make that very clear. He's a guy that is incredibly 110 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: narcissistic when it comes to kumbai aism. Okay, he thinks 111 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: he's somehow a better than people like Donald Trump and 112 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: better than people like Joe Biden. Maybe a better way 113 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: of saying it as elitism, right, Like I'm better than 114 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: you are. I'm holier than you are. I am a 115 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: better human being and a better leader than you are. 116 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: That's why I'm Mike Pence, right, and I'm running for president. 117 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: He also attacked Donald Trump, saying this about Donald Trump 118 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: at his announcement. Listen carefully. 119 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: Given our record, it might be fair to ask why 120 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: I'm challenging my former running mate. 121 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 3: Let me say from my heart. 122 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: It begins with a promise that I made to the 123 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: American people and to Almighty God, and it ends with 124 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: different visions for the future of our nation and our party. 125 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: January sixth was a tragic day. 126 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: In the life of our nation. But thanks to the 127 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: courage of law enforcement, the violence was quelled. 128 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: And we reconvened the. 129 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: Congress the very same day to complete the work of 130 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: the American people under the Constitution of the United States. 131 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: As I've said many times, on that fateful day, President 132 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: Trump's words were reckless. I endangered my family and everyone 133 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: at the Capitol. But the American people deserve to know. 134 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 3: That. 135 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: On that day, President Trump also demanded that I choose 136 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: between him and the Constitution. Now voters will be faced 137 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: with the same choice. I chose the Constitution, and I 138 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: always will. 139 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: I'd choose the Constitution, all right. So there it is. 140 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm a constitutionalist. Donald Trump isn't. I'm the guy you 141 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: should support. Donald Trump is a bad man. That's what 142 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: he's saying now. January sixth was a tragic day in 143 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: the life of our nation. The American people deserve to 144 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: know that. On that day, President Trump also demand that 145 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution. 146 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: That is his line. And guess what was said right 147 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: after that, because you got to distinguish yourself between right, 148 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: that and everything else. So that's when he came out 149 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: and he wanted you to know this. 150 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 3: Think of that verse the King David wrote, who am 151 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: I and who is my family? That you brought me 152 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: this far? 153 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: You know, I truly do believe in the boundless potential 154 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: of every American to live the American dream. Traveling around 155 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: this country over the past two years since I left office, 156 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: it feels different, doesn't it. 157 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: Talking to our fellow Americans. 158 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: I see weariness on faces everywhere I go, and I 159 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 2: hear it in their voices.

The 328 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: document states the FBI objected to further declassification of the 329 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: materials and gave suggestions as to redactions that the documents 330 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: needed to which Trump, by the way, did it. I 331 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder. This is 332 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: my final determination under the declassification review, and I have 333 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: directed the Attorney General to implement the reactions proposed in 334 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: the FBI's January seventeenth submission and returned to the White 335 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: House an appropriate redacted copy. Crossfire Hurricane was the name 336 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: given to the investigation to allegations of coordination between Trump 337 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: and Russia that surfaced during the twenty sixteen election cycle. 338 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: It was all a lie. The Durham report, released in May, 339 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: found that the FBI quote failed to uphold their mission 340 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: of strict fidelity to the law and their launching of 341 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: that investigation, which they knew was crap from the very beginning. 342 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: Now I expect Donald Trump to be indicted. I've expected 343 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: that from the moments they rated Marlago because they want 344 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: him to be ineligible to be present. They want to 345 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: interfere in this election. If you don't believe me, listen 346 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: to MSNBC celebrating all of this and the excitement of 347 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump taking another mugshot. 348 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 6: Donald Trump is unsurprisingly decompensating over his attorney's meeting with 349 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 6: Justice Department officials over the investigation to his mishandling of 350 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 6: classified documents, with his social media rant asking how could 351 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 6: the dojcharge meet on his truth social echo chamber. His 352 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 6: meltdowns are so predictable at this point, they'd be hilarious 353 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 6: if we hadn't seen what his supporters are capable of. 354 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 6: In an interview last September, Trump offered this morning about 355 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 6: what might happen if he was indicted over classified documents. 356 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 6: I think if it happened, I think you'd have problems 357 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 6: in this country the likes of which perhaps we've never 358 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 6: seen before. 359 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't think the people of the United States would 360 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: stand for it. What kind of problems, mister President. I 361 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: think they'd have big problems, big problems. 362 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 6: In that interview, Trump bosso claimed that being indicted would 363 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 6: not stop him from running for president again in twenty 364 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 6: twenty four, and followed this morning from Senator Lindsey Graham. 365 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: If there's a prosecution of Donald Trump for miss handling 366 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: classified information after the Clinton debacle, which you presided over 367 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 2: and did a hell of a good job. 368 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 5: They'll be riots in the streets, no tears. 369 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 6: Trump was so fond of Lindsay's suggestion he injected it 370 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 6: on social media right into the veins of his biggest fans, which, 371 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 6: as we all saw, is a recipe for disaster when 372 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 6: we all saw play out on January sixth, after he 373 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 6: summoned a mob of his political violence supporting followers to 374 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 6: lay siege to the US Capitol. 375 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: Now, I'll stop there because you can see how the 376 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: media is going to play this. Right, if you defend 377 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, you're an insurrectionist. You should be in prison. Right. 378 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: That's what they believe about all of us. They believe 379 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: that we should not be angry. They believe that if 380 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: you are angry, that you're some sort of jihattis, that 381 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: you're some sort of domestic terrorists that should be locked 382 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: up forever.

Also, 384 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: never forget that.

The 411 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: FBI's informant file of that five million dollar bribery scheme 412 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: allegedly linked to President Joe Biden concerns the families business 413 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: deals in Ukraine. The House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer 414 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: has revealed. In May, James Comer and Senator Chuck Grassley 415 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: made bombshow claims after reviewing an FBI FD dashed one 416 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: zero three two form that documented the informant's allegations of 417 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: an alleged bribery scheme involving an exchange of money specifically 418 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: for policy decisions between now President Joe Biden and a 419 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: foreign national. James Cole has now disclosed the informant tip 420 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: that has dated June thirtieth of twenty twenty. Yes, it 421 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: is Ukraine. Comer has now said this form ten twenty 422 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: three involves a business person from Ukraine who allegedly sent 423 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: a bribe a substantial bribe to then Vice President Joe Biden. 424 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: The Biden family frequently visited Ukraine for its respective business. 425 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: Then Vice President Joe Biden served as the Obama administration's 426 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: Ukrainian point person on US foreign policy. He was so 427 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: involved that he visited Ukraine six times while serving as 428 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: the Vice president. Hunter Biden, as you know, joined the 429 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: board of the Ukrainian energy company Barisma in April of 430 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, two years before Joe Biden stated he forced 431 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: the firing of that Ukrainian prosecutor who investigated the company 432 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: that his son was on the board of. We know 433 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: that he was wholding American dollars hostage until that prosecutor 434 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: was fired. Then Joe Biden approved quote an official statement 435 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: about Hunter's Barrisma board position. Emails also confirmed, which also 436 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: tells you that Joe Biden was lying to you. Joe 437 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: Biden was lying to you in a very big way 438 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: when he said he never talked about his son's business dealings. Ever, 439 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: not only was he talking about him, but they were 440 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: bringing millions of dollars into the family business and he 441 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: was helping approve official statements about his time on the 442 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: board at Barisma. Now, despite Hunter's lack of experience in 443 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: Ukraine or the energy sector. He earned eighty three thousand 444 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: dollars per month from the energy company about one million 445 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: dollars per year. While his son was a member of 446 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: Barisma's board. Joe Biden threatened to withhold one billion dollars 447 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the 448 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: prosecutor investigating Barisma. In twenty seventeen, Hunter's salary was cut 449 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: in half when Joe Biden left the White House. Why 450 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: because well, they clearly knew that he was not worth 451 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: near as much as he used to because his daddy 452 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: was out. According to former Obama White House stenographer Mike McCormick, 453 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden allegedly promoted US support for Ukraine's natural gas 454 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: industry only days after Hunter Biden joined the Barisma board. 455 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: He says he's willing to testify now. The Delaware US 456 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: Attorney David Weiss refused to allow McCormick to testify before 457 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: his taxing gun probe into Hunter Biden. McCormick has confirmed 458 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: that to The New York Post. So what does this 459 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: mean now? It means that the pay to place game 460 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: actually makes more sense than it probably ever has before. 461 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: It's clear that this ex White House aid, who said 462 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: the FBI ignored Joe Biden's role in these Ukrainian business deals. 463 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: They did it on purpose. They ignored his role in 464 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: the family's foreign influence pedaling conspiracy in Ukraine, where millions 465 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: of dollars were coming into the coffers. McCormick, who told 466 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: The New York Posts that he has relevant information implicating 467 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden in the family's business affairs in Ukraine, submitted 468 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: a tip to the FBI back in February, and you 469 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: guessed it. They did nothing with that tip. McCormick said 470 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: he never heard back from the FBI, the same law 471 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: enforcement agency which allegedly shut down the investigation the Hunter's 472 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: abandoned laptop from hell Joe Biden committed crimes in Ukraine 473 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: in a conspiracy with current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. 474 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: McCormick stated to the Post. He said, I am a 475 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: witness to that happening. According to this whistleblower. According to McCormick, 476 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: Biden's former Nation Social Security aid Jake Sullivan, Total reporters 477 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: on April the twenty first of twenty fourteen on Air 478 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: Force two as an anonymous senior Administration official that the 479 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: United States intended to help Ukraine's natural gas industry period 480 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: now unknown to the public. At the time, Hunter Biden 481 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: was already a board member of Barisma, a Ukrainian natural 482 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: gas company. Hunter's position on the board was not disclosed 483 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: by the company until May of twenty fourteen, nearly a 484 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: month after Sullivan's statement to reporters. The US would specifically 485 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: offer quote technical assistance relating to a regulatory framework and 486 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: also the technology that would be required to extract unconventional 487 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: gas resources, and Ukraine has meaningful reserves of unconventional gas 488 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: according to the latest estimates. McCormick recounted Sullivan's statement to 489 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: reporters on the flight Now in December of twenty fourteen. 490 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: We also know for a fact that Congress approved a 491 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: fifty million dollar aid package for Ukraine's energy sector, including 492 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: the natural gas industry. The package was supported by the 493 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: Obama administration, and Joe Biden served as the point person 494 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: on US foreign policy towards Ukraine during the Obama years. 495 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: McCormick said he wants to testify before the federal grand 496 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: jury in Delaware that is investigating Hunter Biden for taxing 497 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: guns violations, saying quote. I'll go under oath before anyone 498 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: who needs to hear the truth about Joe Biden's criminal activities. 499 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: Hunter joined the board in April of twenty fourteen, two 500 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of 501 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: Ukraine's prosecutor who was investigating Burrits. Despite Hunter's lack of 502 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he was paid 503 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: eighty three thousand dollars per month by the energy company 504 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: just weeks after his father was announced support point person 505 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: on US foreign policy towards Ukraine. Bam, they're getting paid. 506 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: We also know that not only did that happen, but again, 507 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden in twenty fifteen threatened to withhold one billion 508 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the 509 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: prosecutor who was investigating his son's company, Barisma. In twenty seventeen, 510 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: Hunter's salary was cut in half. That is a fact 511 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: when his dad left the White House, which obviously bolsters 512 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: the claim of straight up bribery. Joe Biden quote was 513 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: aware of his son's Ukrainian business dealings, despite claims he 514 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: never spoke to Hunter about the family business, reportedly meeting 515 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: one of Hunter's partners at Barisma. In twenty fifteen, then 516 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: Vice President Biden also approved an official statement about Hunter's 517 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: Barria is a board position, So clearly the President was 518 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: lying to all of us. The emails retrieved by the 519 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: American First Legal Fund from the National Archives proved that 520 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: now VP signed off on it, will give this quote 521 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 1: to reporters in my name. Shortly, then Vice President Joe 522 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: Biden's communication director told Hunter's business partner Eric Swearin. So 523 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: again we know from these emails they knew it was 524 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,239 Speaker 1: going on the entire time. Plus an additional trove of 525 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: emails revealed that Bettingfield reassured Swearing in twenty fifteen that 526 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: a damaging story from Bloomberg Reporter about the families business 527 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: dealings in Ukraine would be squashed unless editors hold a 528 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: gun to her head. A third trove re released from 529 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: these archives also show that Hunter advised the office of 530 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: Vice President Biden in twenty fourteen on how to handle 531 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: media inquiries regarding his position on the board of Prisma 532 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: potential violation of federal law due to Hunter's failing to 533 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: register as a foreign agent. None of these people get indicted, 534 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: but apparently Joe Biden excuse me, I should say, Apparently, though, 535 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's going to get indicted for having some documents 536 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: that he had a right to have as the president 537 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: of the United States of America, you cannot make up 538 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: this double standard of justice in America. Right now, make 539 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: sure you share this podcast with your family and friends. 540 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: Please write us a five star review, and we'll see 541 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: you back here tomorrow.
