Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Senator Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson with
Speaker 2: you and Senator Apparently there's some really juicy audio that
Speaker 2: the White House is now saying they don't want the
Speaker 2: American people to hear it at all costs. They're willing
Speaker 2: to protect it and make sure it never gets out,
Speaker 2: and it deals with the Biden crime family.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's right. Today's topic is Biden cover ups. We're
Speaker 3: going to talk about the Biden administration trying to desperately
Speaker 3: cover up the tapes of the Joe Biden's interview with
Speaker 3: the Special counsel her and the absurd and frivolous claim
Speaker 3: of executive privilege. We're going to talk about how Hunter
Speaker 3: Biden's sugar daddy has cut him off, which is interesting
Speaker 3: and revealing. And finally, we're going to talk about how

Speaker 2: news that broke. It is actually shocking how much the
Speaker 2: White House is now trying to protect this Biden interview
Speaker 2: audio with special counsel her and apparently it's so damning
Speaker 2: they don't want any of us to ever hear it.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: That is exactly right, and I want you to understand
Speaker 3: how absurd the legal position of the White House is.
Speaker 3: So the House representatives is trying to get the audio
Speaker 3: of the interview between Special Counsel Robert Hurr and President
Speaker 3: Joe Biden. And we learned this week the Biden White
Speaker 3: House is claiming executive privilege to block the release of
Speaker 3: that audio. By the way, at the same time, a
Speaker 3: whole consortium of media outlets including ABCNBCCBS, CNN, Washington Post,
Speaker 3: New York Times, all of the corporate media, they're actually
Speaker 3: suing trying to get this audio as well. So the
Speaker 3: media is trying to get it, the House representatives trying
Speaker 3: to get it. And we saw this week the Biden
Speaker 3: White House claim executive privilege. Now listen, if you're not
Speaker 3: a lawyer, you may think, okay, well, that seems like
Speaker 3: I don't know, I've heard those terms terms executive privilege.
Speaker 3: What does that mean. I guess that's a reasonable claim.
Speaker 3: They're fighting back. Okay, that's fine. I got to tell you,
Speaker 3: as a lawyer, as a constitutional litigator, this is one
Speaker 3: of the most absurd legal claims I've ever heard. So
Speaker 3: let me tell you what executive privilege is. Executive privilege
Speaker 3: is a privilege that is attached to the law for
Speaker 3: a long time, and it is it protects conversations between
Speaker 3: the president and as senior advisors. So if a president
Speaker 3: is talking with the chief of staff, a president is
Speaker 3: talking with his national security advisor, and they're talking about
Speaker 3: what do we do in Israel, what do we do
Speaker 3: in Ukraine, what do we do in South America? What
Speaker 3: do we do on a particular issue, executive privilege protects
Speaker 3: forcing those employees to disclose what they've talked about with
Speaker 3: the president. And there's a very important reason for that.
Speaker 3: You want a president, whoever the president is, Republican or Democrat.
Speaker 3: You want a president to get candidate advice, real advice,
Speaker 3: straightforward advice. And if every employee of the president is worried,
Speaker 3: holy cow, I could be forced to testify in front
Speaker 3: of Congress on this. I could be forced to testify
Speaker 3: in court on this. You will end up having people
Speaker 3: giving the president advice that is cya that is covering
Speaker 3: their own rear end that has trying to protect themselves,
Speaker 3: and it's deeply damaging to the executive operating effectively. So
Speaker 3: executive privilege is a real it is a very important privilege.
Speaker 3: Now let me stop here and point out that the
Speaker 3: Democrats and the court system and the media have not
Speaker 3: given a damn about executive privilege. If it concerns Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, you have one hundred examples you
Speaker 2: could use to prove that point.
Speaker 3: And let me give you two. Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.
Speaker 3: Peter Navarro is in prison right now because the Democrat
Speaker 3: House of Representatives subpoened him, tried to force him to testify.
Speaker 3: He claimed executive privilege because he was a senior advisor
Speaker 3: to the president. He didn't want to testifyabile what he
Speaker 3: talked about to the president. He's in jail right now.
Speaker 3: Steve Bannon is headed to jail right now for the
Speaker 3: same reason. So when it came to Republicans, they did
Speaker 3: not care. The Democrats, the media, of the court system
Speaker 3: did not care about executive privilege. Those decisions are outrageous.
Speaker 3: But what happened this week, I want you to understand.
Speaker 3: The Biden white House claimed executive privilege, not concerning his
Speaker 3: discussion with senior advisors in the White House, not concerning
Speaker 3: Biden's discussions with cabinet members his senior team that would
Speaker 3: be appropriate. Instead, they focused on Robert hurr Is, the
Speaker 3: special counsel appointed to investigate allegations that Joe Biden committed
Speaker 3: crimes committed felonies, and Robert Hr was investigating him, he
Speaker 3: interviewed him, and the Biden Whitehouse claimed executive privilege for
Speaker 3: the audio of the interview between Joe Biden and the
Speaker 3: Special Council. Now, under no way, shape or form, was
Speaker 3: that conversation a conversation between Joe Biden and his senior
Speaker 3: advisors about a policy issue or substant of issue. Listen,
Speaker 3: if Joe Biden we're talking with Merrick Garland about what
Speaker 3: the administration's policy should be on immigration, what the administration's
Speaker 3: policy should be on any issue, on abortion, on what
Speaker 3: have you. That is something that is properly covered by
Speaker 3: executive privilege because the president is entitled to talk to
Speaker 3: a senior team without it being forced to be made public.
Speaker 3: But in this case, Robert Hurr was not operating in
Speaker 3: the role as an employee, as a as someone reporting
Speaker 3: to Joe Biden. Rather, he was a special counsel. The
Speaker 3: reason he was appointed special counsel is because there was
Speaker 3: credible and serious evidence that Joe Biden had committed multiple felonies,
Speaker 3: and so Robert Hurr was in the position of a prosecutor.
Speaker 3: He was in investigating a potential criminal defendant. He was
Speaker 3: interrogating a potential criminal defendant. And by the way, the
Speaker 3: report from Robert Hurr concluded that Joe Biden committed multiple
Speaker 3: serious felonies, that he violated the law, particularly concerning the
Speaker 3: treatment of classified documents, that he did so in a
Speaker 3: way that was knowing, that was repeated, that was brazen.
Speaker 3: And then Robert Hurr's recommendation is, even though he's committed
Speaker 3: multiple felonies, by the way, for the same thing on
Speaker 3: which the Biden Justice Department is right now prosecuting Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: Robert Hurk ultimately recommended we cannot prosecute Joe Biden because
Speaker 3: he is so old in senile that he is not
Speaker 3: competent to stand trial. And what the recommendation Robert hurt was.
Speaker 2: Can we just pause there and go back, because I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people forgot about that. Yes, I mean,
Speaker 2: the excuse for not prosecuting Joe Biden for having classified
Speaker 2: documents that he'd had for decades right updating back, was
Speaker 2: that he's just too old and feeble, and we couldn't
Speaker 2: get a conviction because the excuse would be he's too
Speaker 2: old to convict and doesn't know what he's doing anymore.
Speaker 2: Yet he's the President of the United States of America
Speaker 2: with the nuclear codes.
Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3: So to convict someone of a criminal crime, you've got
Speaker 3: to make the case that they have the men'sraa. Mensrea
Speaker 3: is the legal term for the intent that they're knowingly
Speaker 3: and willingly violating.
Speaker 4: The criminal law.
Speaker 3: What Robert Hurst said is you could not convince a
Speaker 3: jury that Joe Biden had the mensraa to violate the law,
Speaker 3: even though he did so repeat knowingly, that he was openly, brazenly, shamelessly.
Speaker 3: But what her said is, and by the way, he
Speaker 3: said this on behalf of the Biden Justice department. He said,
Speaker 3: any jury would conclude that the Biden was too old
Speaker 3: and senileand forgetful, that he could not realize he was
Speaker 3: committing felonies and so you couldn't prosecute it for him.
Speaker 2: It's amazing that's the excuse for the president of the
Speaker 2: United States of America. Yet he's apparently in good enough
Speaker 2: shape to run for reelection and be president for another
Speaker 2: four years.
Speaker 3: Like you mentioned a minute ago, that he has the
Speaker 3: nuclear codes. Understand, the Biden Department of Justice has publicly
Speaker 3: maintained to the American people Joe Biden is not competent
Speaker 3: to stand trial, and yet he is competent to be
Speaker 3: the commander in chief to have the nuclear codes. And
Speaker 3: let's be clear, if Joe Biden tonight decided to annihilate
Speaker 3: humanity and to fire nuclear weapons at our enemies, he
Speaker 3: could exterminate human beings from existence. And yet according to
Speaker 3: the Biden DOJ, he's not competence stand trial.
Speaker 1: Only in Biden's America as as possible.
Speaker 2: The Speaker of the House, by the way, he has
Speaker 2: come out and said he is very concerned about this
Speaker 2: issue as well.
Speaker 1: From the House side. Here is what he said earlier.
Speaker 5: But first I want to address the breaking news from
Speaker 5: this morning. About an hour ago, we learned that that
Speaker 5: President Biden has invoked executive privilege to prevent the American
Speaker 5: people from hearing the audio recordings of his testimony with
Speaker 5: Special Counsel Robert Hurr. The American people will not be
Speaker 5: able to hear why prosecutors felt the President of the
Speaker 5: United States was, in Special Counsel Robert Hurt's words, a
Speaker 5: quote elderly man with a poor memory and thus shouldn't
Speaker 5: be charged. Just think about that for a moment. President
Speaker 5: Biden is apparently afraid for the citizens of this country
Speaker 5: and everyone to hear those tapes. They obviously confirm what
Speaker 5: the Special Council has found and would likely cause. I suppose,
Speaker 5: in his estimation such alarm with the American people that
Speaker 5: the President is using all of his power to suppress
Speaker 5: their release, and rather than defend our closest ally at war,
Speaker 5: President Biden is using his authority to defend himself politically.
Speaker 2: I mean, it adds up, doesn't it. It's so damning
Speaker 2: that we got to do this at all costs. Protect it,
Speaker 2: make sure it never gets out there, make sure we
Speaker 2: don't see the light of this sees the light of day.
Speaker 2: And the next question is Senator for you is okay, Well,
Speaker 2: then what happens next on this? Is there a way
Speaker 2: to get these recordings out there?
Speaker 3: So the Speaker of the House is precisely right. What
Speaker 3: this tells us is these recordings are bad, They are damning,
Speaker 3: they are embarrassing. The source of things that if you
Speaker 3: listen to them, the natural inference from the fact that
Speaker 3: they're fighting so hard and they're making a demonstrably frivolous
Speaker 3: legal claim to protect them, it is that the White
Speaker 3: House has determined Holy Cow. People heard this, they would say,
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is utterly incompetent to be president. That Robert
Speaker 3: Hurr of the Special Counsel was right, He's not competent
Speaker 3: to stand trial. If you're not competent to stand trial,
Speaker 3: you're not competent to be president of the United States.
Speaker 3: You're not competent to be the commander in chief of
Speaker 3: the United States military.
Speaker 2: And it's not just you're saying what they were talking
Speaker 2: about on the recording, which would be damning enough on
Speaker 2: the substance and the subject matter, but it's also about
Speaker 2: the incompetency that then can be used against him. Of
Speaker 2: the American people would see, basically, pull back the curtain
Speaker 2: and this is what the guy running your country really
Speaker 2: is like.
Speaker 1: Right now? Are you going to give him a chance
Speaker 1: to run it for another four years?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Look, My assumption is the audio is in dably damning.
Speaker 3: Remember we talked about when Robert Hurr was appointed. Robert
Speaker 3: Hurr had been the right hand to Rod Rosenstein, the
Speaker 3: Deputy Attorney General who had been Barack Obama's US attorney
Speaker 3: in Maryland. Rod Rosenstein is responsible for much of the
Speaker 3: abuse of power we saw in the doj he's responsible
Speaker 3: for appointing Robert Muller too, and as the Special Counsel
Speaker 3: to investigate Russia, Russia, Russia. And when Robert Hurr was
Speaker 3: first appointed, we said, look, what will reveal whether whether
Speaker 3: mister Hurr is actually doing his job is whether he's
Speaker 3: willing to go after Joe Biden. If he just if
Speaker 3: he walls off any evidence of criminality from Joe Biden,
Speaker 3: that will be an incredibly damning conclusion. Now, I will
Speaker 3: say his report was frankly better than you and I expected,
Speaker 3: because because his report on its face concluded, yes, Joe
Speaker 3: Biden is a criminal, He's a felon. He violated the
Speaker 3: criminal law over and over and over again. He knew
Speaker 3: he was violating, he said he was violating, he didn't care,
Speaker 3: he was brazen. But then the reason that mister Hirst
Speaker 3: said he was not going to recommend charges against Joe
Speaker 3: Biden exactly like the charges that were being brought against
Speaker 3: Donald Trump for the same offense, is because he said
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's not competent to stand trial. Now, Democrats were
Speaker 3: horrified at the second part of that conclusion because they're like, no,
Speaker 3: don't reveal pay no, attention to the man behind the curtain.
Speaker 3: Do not reveal that the Wizard of Oz is a
Speaker 3: fake and a fraud. Now, listen, you and I have
Speaker 3: talked about We're three and a half years into the
Speaker 3: Biden presidency. You know how many times I've talked to
Speaker 3: Joe Biden since he became president.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's still zero zero one, And that's not normal.
Speaker 2: So people understand how it normally works.
Speaker 3: It is absolutely weird and bizarre. When Barack Obama was president,
Speaker 3: I talked to him regularly. When Donald Trump was president,
Speaker 3: I talk to him every week and sometimes every day.
Speaker 3: And I got to say it, it is an amazing thing.
Speaker 3: And by the way, you might say, Okay, Cruz, he's
Speaker 3: a right winger. Maybe just Biden doesn't talk to him.
Speaker 3: Biden has talked to virtually zero Republican senators.
Speaker 2: Is that because they're hiding him from I'm being serious,
Speaker 2: because they say, you guy, it's better to it's better
Speaker 2: to protect him and shield him from y'all so that
Speaker 2: you don't understand how diminished he is.
Speaker 1: Is that part of it?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: So Listen, the Republican senators, we have lunch together every Tuesday,
Speaker 3: Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 4: So three days a week we have lunch together.
Speaker 3: We talk regularly at lunch about how weird it is
Speaker 3: that none of us have talked to Joe Biden. Actually,
Speaker 3: there's an interesting story. We were sitting there at lunch
Speaker 3: talking and the only center at the table with me
Speaker 3: who had spoken with Joe Biden was John Kennedy. John
Speaker 3: is a great friend. He's a fantastic guy, amazing sense
Speaker 3: of humor. John told the story at lunch. He said, listen,
Speaker 3: I spoke with Biden once. And it was fairly early
Speaker 3: on in the Biden presidency. And there was a bill
Speaker 3: that John had authored that passed, and it was a
Speaker 3: bipartisan bill.
Speaker 4: And John said, look, they wanted.
Speaker 3: To do a signing ceremony in the Oval office, you know,
Speaker 3: presumably to show they were bipartisan. Look what we're doing
Speaker 3: together in this grade. And so John said, he went
Speaker 3: to that signing ceremony. He was in the Oval and
Speaker 3: he said, Biden in the middle of the conversations, in
Speaker 3: the middle of the signing ceremony, struck up a conversation
Speaker 3: with John, and Biden said, hey, hey, John, have you
Speaker 3: ever been to the cabinet room? And John Kennedy being
Speaker 3: John Kennedy. He said, I lied and I said no,
Speaker 3: and Biden immediately says, well, come on, let me take
Speaker 3: you over there. He goes over to the cabinet room
Speaker 3: and John said, but Biden begins telling war stories and
Speaker 3: they were from forty or fifty years ago, and he's
Speaker 3: just talking about things that happened decades ago. And he's
Speaker 3: telling him on and on and on, and the Biden
Speaker 3: White House staff is freaking out and they're going, miss
Speaker 3: President as President, you need to go, you need to
Speaker 3: go to your next meeting. They were really worried that
Speaker 3: Biden is talking to John Kennedy, and Biden apparently gave
Speaker 3: him the back of the hand and said, shut up,
Speaker 3: I'm telling stories. And Kennedy said that Biden spent forty
Speaker 3: five minutes telling war stories and it was like it
Speaker 3: was like your grandfather reliving World War Two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
Speaker 4: That is.
Speaker 3: And it's worth noting, by the way, all of us
Speaker 3: know Joe Biden. Remember he was a man of the Senate.
Speaker 3: He spent forty years in the Senate. Joe Biden swore
Speaker 3: me into the Senate when I was first elected in
Speaker 3: twenty The person who delivered my oath of office was
Speaker 3: Joe Biden. So it is weird that the White House
Speaker 3: staff keeps him hidden from us. And the natural assumption
Speaker 3: is that his mental diminishment is so great that they
Speaker 3: cannot let him speak to us. And so you put
Speaker 3: that in the context of this Robert Hurr interview. Understand
Speaker 3: the claim of executive privilege is absurd because Robert Hurr
Speaker 3: was not meeting with him as a subservient employee discussing
Speaker 3: the administration's policy. Rather, Robert Hurr was appointed as a
Speaker 3: special counsel to investigate did the President commit criminal conduct?
Speaker 3: By the way he concluded, the answer is yes.
Speaker 2: Well, and he testified to that on Capitol Hill. I
Speaker 2: want to play that for people because it's important to
Speaker 2: remind you what her had to say about Biden's memory
Speaker 2: and his mental state. Before I do that, though, I
Speaker 2: want to tell you about our friends of her chalk.

Speaker 1: All right, I want to play for you centater.
Speaker 2: This is her on Capitol Hill when he was being
Speaker 2: asked questions.
Speaker 6: So you have audio recording from his ghostwriter where the
Speaker 6: president acknowledges that the information he has is classified and
Speaker 6: he's sharing with his ghost riad.
Speaker 7: We have an audio recording capturing a statement from mister
Speaker 7: Biden saying to his ghost writer in February of twenty seventeen. Quote,
Speaker 7: I just found all the classified stuff downstairs end quote.
Speaker 6: And then again reciting passages from a meeting in the situation. Yes,
Speaker 6: and those are in President Biden's own words, correct, right,
Speaker 6: So he's again the ghostwriter has no classified No, he
Speaker 6: has no clearance, no classified clearance to anything.
Speaker 7: Correct. That is our understanding that misters Wantitzer was not
Speaker 7: authorized to receive classified information.
Speaker 2: Now, that was he said in seventeen, So he knew
Speaker 2: he had classified data, classified documents seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three when they started to
Speaker 2: find these things in his garage right by the corvette.
Speaker 3: Yes, and remember remember the joy Democrats felt when they
Speaker 3: began bringing charges against Donald Trump for having classified documents
Speaker 3: at Mari Lago. Now, listen, as a president of the
Speaker 3: United States, you have the authority to declassified documents. Every
Speaker 3: president in modern times has taken documents for the premise presidency,
Speaker 3: for his memoirs, to write things that has been part.
Speaker 3: We've covered this at length on this podcast. So the
Speaker 3: prosecution against Donald Trump for the classified documents was always
Speaker 3: weak on its face. But then the Democrats had this
Speaker 3: enormous political problem because they were gleeful. They're like, haha,
Speaker 3: classified document you have them. Okay, we got you. Finally
Speaker 3: we finally we have something we can charge you on.
Speaker 3: And then the news broke that Joe Biden had done
Speaker 3: the exact same thing. And then the news broke that
Speaker 3: it wasn't once, it was twice, it was three times,
Speaker 3: it was four times, it was five times, it was
Speaker 3: over and over and over again. And then the news
Speaker 3: broke that Joe Biden seemingly had classified documents stored just
Speaker 3: about everywhere, as you noted by his garage, in his
Speaker 3: garage next to his antique corvette, all over the place,
Speaker 3: in one house, in another house, and by the way
Speaker 3: it wasn't just from his time as vice president, and
Speaker 3: it'd be clear Joe Biden as vice president had no
Speaker 3: legal authority to declassify anything, so he could not have
Speaker 3: done what Trump could have done. It is also the
Speaker 3: case that there were multiple classified documents from Joe Biden's
Speaker 3: time as a senator. Now, listen, I've spent twelve years
Speaker 3: as a senator. I've read a lot of classified documents.
Speaker 3: I can tell you. I'm sitting right now in my
Speaker 3: DC apartment. We have a little apartment by Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3: I can tell you with absolute certainty, there's not a
Speaker 3: classified document in my apartment.
Speaker 4: Why is that?
Speaker 3: Because I have never, ever, ever, even once read a
Speaker 3: classified document outside of the skiff, which is the secure
Speaker 3: compartmentalized facility in the basement of the Capitol. I've read
Speaker 3: lots of them the skiff. I go into the skiff,
Speaker 3: I read the document, I leave the document there, and
Speaker 3: I walk out. So is there a classified document in
Speaker 3: my DC apartment?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: Is there a classified document in my home in Houston. No?
Speaker 3: How do I know that? Because there's never ever ever
Speaker 3: been one, Like, there's no chance of it. And it
Speaker 3: takes a degree of culpability to willingly and by the way,
Speaker 3: like nobody takes them out. I mean, this is it's
Speaker 3: weird that Joe Biden had them.
Speaker 2: And it's because it's such a big deal and you
Speaker 2: guys are briefed on it beforehand. Classified documents are not
Speaker 2: saying you screw around with.
Speaker 3: So when I was at the Department of Justice, I
Speaker 3: was an associate Deputy Attorney General. I read classified documents
Speaker 3: in that role as well. I had a safe in
Speaker 3: my office. It was a big steel safe with big doors.
Speaker 3: In fact, once a jam my thumb, and it really
Speaker 3: hurt if I had classified documents in my office. You
Speaker 3: know what, I could not leave them on my desk.
Speaker 3: It was a crime to leave them on my desk.
Speaker 3: So if I was reading a classified document, I had
Speaker 3: to put them in the safe and lock the safe.
Speaker 3: Dealing with classified documents is a big deal. And what
Speaker 3: Robert Hurk concluded is Joe Biden had them just about everywhere.
Speaker 3: So if Joe Biden has committed the same crime Donald
Speaker 3: Trump is alleged to have committed, if he's done so
Speaker 3: for decades, if he's done so brazenly, that's a big
Speaker 3: political problem for the Biden. Department of justice because remember
Speaker 3: early on, their great hope was We're gonna get Trump
Speaker 3: on the classified documents because their objective is to stop
Speaker 3: the voters from voting for Trump, and they thought the
Speaker 3: classified documents was their avenue. And then they had a
Speaker 3: real problem. Wait, Biden's done the same and worse, and
Speaker 3: so their answer was, Biden is not competent to stand trial. Now,
Speaker 3: set all of that aside, understand, the claim of executive
Speaker 3: privilege is lunacy. Why because when Joe Biden sat down
Speaker 3: with Robert hurb there is no arguable claim he was
Speaker 3: sitting down with a senior advisor. There's no arguable claim
Speaker 3: he was talking about administration policy. There's no arguable claim
Speaker 3: that he was asking give me your advice, my employee,
Speaker 3: as to terms of what I should do. That's what
Speaker 3: executive privilege protects. Instead, Robert Hurr was a prosecutor investigating
Speaker 3: him as a potential criminal defendant. And so this claim
Speaker 3: is objectively frivolous. And yet the media and the Democrats
Speaker 3: are ignoring the obvious inanity of this claim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't have to go back far because
Speaker 2: back in February, White House spokesman he and Sam's bragged
Speaker 2: about Joe Biden not asserting executive privilege during Special Counsel
Speaker 2: Herd's investigation, saying he had nothing to hide.
Speaker 1: Listen to this three.
Speaker 7: He didn't exert executive privilege over any contents of the report.
Speaker 1: He was transparent. He had nothing to hide. There it
Speaker 1: is that's from the White House's podium.
Speaker 3: And so understand, Joe Biden arguably could have asserted executive
Speaker 3: privilege in the interview. He could have said, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to answer a particular question about the conversations I
Speaker 3: had with my senior advisors because of executive privilege. That
Speaker 3: would have been arguable. He didn't, according to the White House,
Speaker 3: unless the White House spokesman was lying. So he didn't
Speaker 3: assert it in the interview. He answered the questions instead.
Speaker 3: What they're saying is the tape of a prosecutor investigating
Speaker 3: the president for criminal conduct.
Speaker 4: That's executive privilege.
Speaker 3: And that is I got to tell you, Ben, if
Speaker 3: you were a one L law student on your con
Speaker 3: law final exam and you wrote that this is executive privilege,
Speaker 3: you would flunk.
Speaker 4: It is that frivolous and that's what they're claiming.
Speaker 1: Over under we ever get to hear these tapes.
Speaker 3: Um I put it thirty seventy.
Speaker 1: Okay, because they're just going to be that good at
Speaker 1: hiding it.
Speaker 4: Look, they're going to try.
Speaker 3: Look we only have six months still the election, so
Speaker 3: they got to delay it for six months that they're
Speaker 3: going to fight that. The House is going to now
Speaker 3: the next step is to hold Merrick Garland in contempt.
Speaker 3: But the problem is, look at our checks and balances.
Speaker 3: The House can hold an attorney general in contempt, and
Speaker 3: by the way, the House held Eric Holder in contempt
Speaker 3: when he was Barack Obama's attorney general. But a contempt
Speaker 3: holding is not self enforcing. It takes the Department of
Speaker 3: Justice to go and prosecute it. Eric Holder wouldn't prosecute
Speaker 3: the contempt holding against himself, and you know what, Merrick
Speaker 3: Garland is not either. And so at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, the fact that the Biden Justice Department is
Speaker 3: so political and so corrupt means, in all likelihood to
Speaker 3: be honest, thirty seventy is probably optimistic.
Speaker 4: It may be less than that.
Speaker 2: There's another report that has hit the same time that
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's sugar daddy, Kevin Morris is quote tamped out
Speaker 2: of cash after funding President Biden's son. That would be
Speaker 2: the famous Hunter Biden. He has been funding the president's
Speaker 2: son's legal battles now for almost half a decade. He
Speaker 2: quote close friend Karen Kevin Morris, who said, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not getting anything out of this guy. I'm just
Speaker 2: a good guy. He's said to have loaned Hunter Biden
Speaker 2: more than six million dollars this as Hunter Biden is
Speaker 2: facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, and
Speaker 2: now the sugar Daddy's saying I'm out after six grand.
Speaker 2: My question is the timing of this. He's seen the
Speaker 2: same poll numbers you're seeing. He's seeing the same momentum
Speaker 2: that you and I are seeing day in and day
Speaker 2: out with Donald Trump. He's seeing the same economic news
Speaker 2: it's coming out, and he's seeing these trials come up,
Speaker 2: and it's is he cutting basically a bad investment at
Speaker 2: this point, saying Okay, I'm hedging my bets. Joe Biden's
Speaker 2: not going to be able to do me favors for
Speaker 2: another four years. Why would I keep spending my money?
Speaker 3: Of course he is so. The headline in the Daily
Speaker 3: Mail which broke this story is Hunter Biden's sugar brother,
Speaker 3: Kevin Morris quote tapped out of cash after funding President's
Speaker 3: sons legal battles for almost five years. Here's how it begins.
Speaker 3: Hollywood lawyer and Hunter Biden's sugar brother, Kevin Morris is
Speaker 3: said to be tapped out of cash after financially supporting
Speaker 3: Hunters legal battles over the last four and a half
Speaker 3: years to the tune of six million dollars. Let me
Speaker 3: ask you, do you have any friends that are good
Speaker 3: enough friends that you give them six million dollars?
Speaker 2: No? And not only that, I love how the money
Speaker 2: apparently is supposed to be paid back after the election.
Speaker 3: The Daily Mail continues. The withdrawal of financial support for
Speaker 3: the president's son comes at the worst possible time for Hunter,
Speaker 3: with two trials looming which could end up seeing him
Speaker 3: serve jail time. I got to say this is striking.
Speaker 3: Nobody seemed to care. The press didn't seem to care
Speaker 3: that there was this lawyer in California funding Joe Biden's
Speaker 3: son's legal defense up until this stage. But the fact
Speaker 3: that he is bailing out. I got to tell you
Speaker 3: that there is the old phrase the rats are running
Speaker 3: from the ship that starts to suggest that's exactly what
Speaker 3: happened here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, quid pro quote. You got to have somebody that
Speaker 2: can hook you up on the end of it. And
Speaker 2: if Joe Biden's out of office, what's the point of
Speaker 2: keeping your money flowing to this? To Hunter Biden, this
Speaker 2: could be major could mean major complications also for Hunter
Speaker 2: Biden's legal defense. Can that be used as a delayed tactic?
Speaker 2: Is my question?
Speaker 3: Oh, they'll try, but I don't think it will succeed.
Speaker 3: Here's what the Daily Mail reported quote the Paramount in
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, during dad President's Biden's campaign for the White House.
Speaker 3: They quickly developed a close friendship, just as Hunter was
Speaker 3: trying to get his life on track and stay sober.
Speaker 3: At the time, Morris helped him get safe housing. He
Speaker 3: was dubbed Hunter's sugar brother. After You're agreed to loan
Speaker 3: the first sun Or Report to two point eight million
Speaker 3: dollars to pay off his tax debts and joined his
Speaker 3: legal team amidst criminal and congressional investigations. But now, after
Speaker 3: four and a half years of shouldering the financial burden,
Speaker 3: having loaned him more than six point five million dollars,
Speaker 3: Morris is no longer willing to foot the Bill.
Speaker 1: Where does he get the money?
Speaker 2: Now, I'm gonna guess it's probably gonna be some some
Speaker 2: of his foreign businesses, or hey, maybe it's some really
Speaker 2: nice artwork that will go for more than a half
Speaker 2: a million dollars, because apparently getting a half million dollars
Speaker 2: to do finger painting is pretty impressive. That's just the
Speaker 2: going right now. If you're the president's son, let me
Speaker 2: tell you about Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone,
Speaker 2: and you have a cell phone with Big Mobile, you
Speaker 2: may not realize that you're actually supporting planned parenthood. You
Speaker 2: may not realize you're supporting democratic causes and candidates running
Speaker 2: at the local, state and national level. Well, with Big Mobile,
Speaker 2: they give big donations to the left. And once I
Speaker 2: found that out, I had to make the switch. Now,
Speaker 2: the number one reason why people don't switch cell phone
Speaker 2: providers is because in the past it's been incredibly time consuming.
Speaker 2: Not anymore with technology in twenty twenty four. In fact,
Speaker 2: switching to Patriot Mobile, you do not have to go
Speaker 2: to a store. You can literally do it over the phone.
Speaker 2: And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, with every phone
Speaker 2: call you make, with every text message you send, you're
Speaker 2: supporting conservative values and causes because they take about five
Speaker 2: percent of your bill each and every month and they
Speaker 2: give it back to conservative organizations that support free speech,
Speaker 2: religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and
Speaker 2: they support our military veterans, first responders, and are wounded
Speaker 2: warrior heroes. So when you make a call and you
Speaker 2: pay your bill, you're so standing up for what you
Speaker 2: believe in. So don't wait too long. This switch. You
Speaker 2: get the same exact service used to right now because
Speaker 2: you're gonna use the same towers that you're using right now.
Speaker 2: You can keep your same cell phone number, keep the
Speaker 2: same phone you have in your hand right now, or
Speaker 2: upgrade to a new one. All you got to do
Speaker 2: is go to Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict. That's Patriotmobile
Speaker 2: dot com slash vertict, or call them nine to seven
Speaker 2: to two Patriot. That's nine seven two Patriot, and you're
Speaker 2: gonna get free activation when you use the offer code verdict.
Speaker 2: Join me, make the switch today and make a difference
Speaker 2: Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict or nine seven to two Patriot. Finally, Senator,
Speaker 2: one other thing that has happened, and this is going
Speaker 2: to continue to break and become a bigger story. But
Speaker 2: we are now finding out that the White House is
Speaker 2: refusing a Foyer request. It is a request that was
Speaker 2: filed to find out about the nationalities of people on
Speaker 2: the tear watch lists that have been arrested by border
Speaker 2: patrol and rec years. The CBP now says they will
Speaker 2: not turn over the data, citing privacy and law enforcement
Speaker 2: sensitivity exemptions, saying that, yeah, deal with it. We're not
Speaker 2: giving you the inte on how many people have come
Speaker 2: across the southern border that are on the terrorists watch
Speaker 2: list and what nations they're coming from.
Speaker 3: Well, this is the third story we're covering today that
Speaker 3: deals with Biden cover ups. That's the unifying theme behind
Speaker 3: all these stories. In this instance, they're covering up the
Speaker 3: likely terrorist and the criminal threats that are crossing into
Speaker 3: this border illegally through Joe Biden, the Democrats' open borders.
Speaker 3: And let me read you a tweet from Bill Malugian.
Speaker 3: Bill Lujan, as you know, is the heroic, the fantastic
Speaker 3: reporter for Fox News, has done more reporting on the
Speaker 3: border than I think any reporter in the whole country.
Speaker 3: So here's what Bill Malujan tweeted. Quote new Six plus
Speaker 3: months ago, I filed a Foyer request with CBP seeking
Speaker 3: the nationalities of people on the terror watch list arrested
Speaker 3: by Border Patrol in recent years. CBP now says they
Speaker 3: will not turn over that data, citing privacy and law
Speaker 3: enforcement sensitivity exemptions, telling me, quote, the privacy interests of
Speaker 3: the individuals in the records you have requested outweigh any
Speaker 3: minimal public interest in disclosure of the information. Any private
Speaker 3: interest you may have in the information does not factor
Speaker 3: into the aforementioned balancing tests. Llugin continues, quote, I did
Speaker 3: not ask for any names, IDs, addresses, anything that would
Speaker 3: breach privacy, nor did I ask for any law enforcement
Speaker 3: sensitive information. I simply requested only, and only, as bracketed
Speaker 3: by asterisks on both sides, the nationalities of people arrested
Speaker 3: on the list, so the public can have an understanding
Speaker 3: of where in the world they are coming from. CBP
Speaker 3: acknowledges in the opening paragraphs of their response letter to
Speaker 3: me me that all I asked for was the nationalities
Speaker 3: of those arrested on the terror watch list, but they
Speaker 3: then go on to cite exemptions that have nothing to
Speaker 3: do with what I requested, including medical files, phone numbers,
Speaker 3: email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, etc. None of
Speaker 3: which I sought. And they even excite an exemption regarding
Speaker 3: quote records which could be reasonably expected to endanger the
Speaker 3: life or physical safety of any individual. I disagree with
Speaker 3: CBPS withholdings of this data based on exemptions that have
Speaker 3: nothing to do with my foier request, and I will
Speaker 3: be appealing immediately. Let me ask you something, Ben, What
Speaker 3: is Joe Biden, this administration and the Democrats?
Speaker 4: What are they hiding?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And the question is where they hiding and how is
Speaker 2: it affecting? Most importantly, are secured in this country with
Speaker 2: terrors coming across the southern border. We know they're coming across,
Speaker 2: but they don't cot us to know what countries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and why is that? What is your guess?
Speaker 3: Because it's damming because the countries are countries where there's
Speaker 3: massive terrorism. They're Jahatis, their people that want to kill Americans.
Speaker 3: And it illustrates I've said repeatedly we're at a greater
Speaker 3: risk of a major terrorist attack in the United States
Speaker 3: than we have been any time since September eleventh. It
Speaker 3: is tragically going to happen. I don't want it to happen.
Speaker 3: But Joe Biden, the Democrats are inviting terrorists to come
Speaker 3: into this country. Iran has demanded global Jahad against America.
Speaker 3: Hamas has demanded global Jihad against America. Hesbel has demanded
Speaker 3: global Jahad against America. And Joe Biden, the Democrats are
Speaker 3: inviting people in. And I assume from their refusal to
Speaker 3: tell us so we know there have been hundreds of
Speaker 3: people on the terror watch lists who've been apprehended. They
Speaker 3: have not released what countries they came from. I assume
Speaker 3: based on their refusal to do so, that the country
Speaker 3: list is really damning, that they're from countries that are
Speaker 3: danger that have lots of terrorists who want to kill us.
Speaker 3: And this is political, This is all about hiding the politics.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of you remember, and we talked about this.
Speaker 3: We did a whole podcast on this when the data
Speaker 3: broke about about the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants
Speaker 3: that Joe Biden had flown into America, flown into cities
Speaker 3: all of America, and the Biden administration refused to disclose
Speaker 3: which cities and they claimed it it was national security
Speaker 3: information they wouldn't release it. Ultimately we got that information.
Speaker 3: We covered that on this podcast. What cities they were
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly cities in Florida and Texas, which is not surprising
Speaker 3: given this administration is so political they're trying to do
Speaker 3: everything they can to screw Florida and Texas. But their
Speaker 3: claim that it was a national security risk to release
Speaker 3: those cities was a lie. It was politically embarrassing and
Speaker 3: that's exactly true here, politically embarrassing. I hope through litigation
Speaker 3: or political pressure pressure, we can get the information, but
Speaker 3: Joe Biden the administration accounting on that, they can stonewall
Speaker 3: until at least the election.
Speaker 2: It's all about the election, isn't it. Don't forget. We
Speaker 2: are going to keep you updated on this story. I
Speaker 2: have a feeling more will break on this, and we
Speaker 2: do this show Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We have a
