1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: There are a great many important stories that are playing

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: out that will have dire consequences for the American people

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: for the peace of the world, from Israel to Ukraine,

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: across the broader Middle East, and of course here at home.

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: There are many stories to choose from. When you are

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: trying to compile a list of what is the most

7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: important thing happening today in the United States, I want

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: to show you what I believe is the most important

9
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: event that played out yesterday. These are the most important

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: words that were spoken in the United States yesterday that

11
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm about to show you are not self pitying words.

12
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: They are justified, and they are accurate, and they describe

13
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: an appalling, an absolutely intolerable situation for any American citizen.

14
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is first and foremost not the President's son.

15
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is an American citizen who is being persecuted

16
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: and hunted by elements of the American government as a

17
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: means to hurt his father, the President of the United States.

18
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Let me be direct, Hunter Biden doesn't owe you, or me,

19
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: or anybody in the United States House of Representatives and

20
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: apology for anything. Hunter Biden's failures in life, his addictions,

21
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: his shames or between him and the people he loved

22
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: and the people he hurt. He will spend likely the

23
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: rest of his life dealing with those issues, and his family,

24
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: like all families who deal with pain, which is something

25
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: that unites every family everywhere, will find their way through it.

26
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: The issue at hand is the hunting of an American

27
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: citizen by American politicians in a campaign of personal destruction

28
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: that put it's the McCarthy era to absolute shame. Think

29
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden through this prism, would you be strong

30
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: enough to endure the harassment, the hounding, the smearing every

31
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: day when you get up and you try to take

32
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: your first step forward, you try to rebuild, and you

33
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: are smothered, suffocated, and strangled by reputational attacks which have

34
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: at this point no basis in reality whatsoever, other than

35
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: images and pictures of the lowest moments of an addicted

36
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: man's life, which are fetishized and cruelly celebrated on the

37
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: floor of the House of Representatives by such unworthy people

38
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: as Marjorie Taylor Green. Despicable does not begin to describe it. Now.

39
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: There have been several impeachments in my lifetime. The first

40
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: was President Bill Clinton, It was, in the end, one

41
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: of the most incandescent acts of hypocrisy in American history,

42
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: orchestrated by two men, Ken Starr and Nuke Gingrich, both

43
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: having their own affairs with staffers. Two impeachments against Donald Trump,

44
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: one for shaking down the government of Ukraine and two

45
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: for inciting a deadly insurrection that sought to overturn the

46
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election and led to the desecration by thousands

47
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: of the US House of Representatives. In the US Senate

48
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: and now President Biden is said to be impeached over

49
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: what you may ask nothing the ferbile imaginations of Republican

50
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: members like Chairman Comer, who worked for a man that

51
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: believes people in dinosaurs walked around together just six thousand

52
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: years ago when the earth was created. He's a man

53
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: who believes anything anything, or chooses to believe anything, so

54
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: long as it brings him what he craves most power.

55
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: And in the end, that's what this is about. It's

56
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: a form of war being waged by an extremist movement,

57
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: and nobody in America is safe from it. What the

58
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: Republicans have done to Hunter Biden goes beyond a grotesque

59
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: public bullying campaign. What the Republicans have succeeded in doing

60
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: is orchestrating the prosecution with political pressure in the name

61
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: of fairness of somebody who's being prosecuted for charges that

62
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 1: there seems to be no other person in the entire

63
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: country of three hundred and forty million people that is

64
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: ever similarly charged for the same type of conduct. Why

65
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: is that? How is that? The answer to that question

66
00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: is the corruption of the Justice Department, because senior lawyers

67
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: in it are putting their fingers on the scale trying

68
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: to feel the wins. How will the politics play out?

69
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: If there are ninety two criminal felony counts against Donald Trump,

70
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: then how many should there be against somebody named Biden?

71
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: Is not how justice works in America. Prosecution of Hunter

72
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: Biden is shameful, but it is not nearly nearly as

73
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: shameful as the political persecution of the president's son. And

74
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: every father and every mother, and every brother and sister

75
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and friend should be appalled by it, regardless of your politics,

76
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: should be appalled by the cruelty of it. There are

77
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: millions of American families who have a family member who

78
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: has suffered from addiction and are suffering from addiction. Those

79
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: lives are not disposable. Those lives have purpose and meaning,

80
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: And the point of recovery is to recover. It is

81
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: to find your way back to life. And the courage

82
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: that that must take is extraordinary, and in the time

83
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: of profound cowardice, it should not just be recognized, but

84
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: it should be celebrated. And when somebody with courage is

85
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: hunt by a coward in pursuit of nothing but the

86
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: neolistic goal of destruction, it must be addressed. What is

87
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: it that extremist MAGA Republicans want of Hunter Biden or

88
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: relapse into drug use, suicide? What does victory look like

89
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: in their pernicious and cruel game. What is playing out

90
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: is a harbinger of the season of retribution and revenge.

91
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: You want to see a tough customer on TV, take

92
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: a look at Hunter Biden here. I am good for you,

93
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: fight back and for all of you. If they can

94
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: do this to the President's son, they can do it

95
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: to anyone. There is something terrible happening in Washington, d C.

96
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: In the United States Congress that every American should know

97
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: about and every American should care about because the actions

98
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: of radical and extreme members will make our children's world

99
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: profoundly more dangerous. It will increase the chances dramatically that

100
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: America's young men and women will die in a European

101
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: country fighting Russians in the twenty first century. Should that

102
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: ever happen, it can be remembered as the most unnecessary

103
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: war that has ever been Right now, in Washington, extremist politicians,

104
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: working in concert with extremists from foreign governments, are seeking

105
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: to throttle and choke off military funding to the Ukrainian people,

106
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,479
Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian nation, so that they may survive Russian aggression.

107
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Let's be clear about something. There is a deadly war

108
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: underway that was started by the Russian Federation on the

109
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: direct orders of Vladimir Putin. This is a criminal war

110
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: and illegal war, and there are thousands and thousands of

111
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: incidents of documented war, crimes of barbarity, the rape of

112
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: women and girls, sexual violence, murder, and the kidnapping of

113
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of Ukrainian children who have been taken east,

114
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: their whereabouts completely unknown. Ukraine has been invaded in the

115
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: twenty first century by a far more powerful nation and

116
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: contravention of every international law that there is. It is

117
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: a war of naked aggression, and it is intolerable. The

118
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: United States also has moral and political obligations that should

119
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: be stated clearly. In nineteen ninety one, when Ukraine became

120
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: fully independent from the tyrannical into tolitarian Soviet Union, guarantees

121
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: were made to Ukraine so that she would give up

122
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: her nuclear armaments. In return, the United States guaranteed a

123
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: commitment to Ukraine's sustained sovereignty. In the real world, the

124
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: fickleness of the American attention span can be a deadly thing.

125
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Not long ago, President Zelensky was cheered as a global

126
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: hero in the United States Congress, a symbol of resistance,

127
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: of a brave people fighting a superior foe. All they

128
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: asked for were the armaments to do so, and the

129
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: free world responded. But now the free world is growing

130
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: tired fascistic. Senator JD. Vance from the state of Ohio

131
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: said this, We've already given the Ukrainians one hundred billion dollars.

132
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: If they're going to get another sixty billion, what result

133
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: will be different than what happened with the first one

134
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: hundred billion. Well, I can answer the question for him

135
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and Rebut the absurd premise of the argument the one

136
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty billion dollars has kept NATO has kept

137
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: the West out of a Russian war of aggression by

138
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: making sure that war is fought inside of Ukraine. There

139
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: is a simple truth, and this is not rocket science,

140
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:47,239
Speaker 1: and any official who cannot understand this should be questioned

141
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: if they suffer from an addleman that blocks the digestion

142
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: of history, that impedes the absorption of fact, that diminishes

143
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the ability to summon common sense. The Russian War cannot

144
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: expand outside of Ukraine so long as Russia is losing

145
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine. But the second the Russians win

146
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, the war will expand outside of Ukraine, and

147
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: the places where it will expand to next include NATO territory. Now,

148
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's campaign has promised that among the first things

149
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: that he does, besides seeking retribution and declaring himself a

150
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: dictator on day one, is to withdraw America from the

151
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: most successful military alliance in world history. That alliance has

152
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: kept the peace in Europe after the deadliest war in

153
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: all of human history, that saw the greatest acts of

154
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: barbarism and man's inhumanity to man in all of history.

155
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: A withdrawal from Europe will guarantee European war and the

156
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: destruction once again of some of the greatest cities of

157
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: the world under missiles and drones and artillery and guns,

158
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: because of the aggression of one man, of Vladimir Putin,

159
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: who can still be stopped. The Heritage Foundation was once

160
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: a great conservative think tank. Today it has become an

161
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: arm of the conspiracy to destroy the government of the

162
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: United States and a Trump's second The Heritage Foundation is

163
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: deeply involved in the project to fundamentally disassemble America's democracy

164
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: and now alongside with agents of Victor Orbon's Hungary, an

165
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: authoritarianist state in Central Europe, though a NATO ally and

166
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: an EU member, sided with Nazi Germany in the Second

167
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: World War and with the German Empire in the First,

168
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: and is increasingly hostile and anesthetical to Western values, including

169
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: pluralism and democracy. Just a year ago, Victor Orbon gave

170
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: a speech where he summoned the words of Hitler himself.

171
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Victor Orbon is no friend of the West and no

172
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: friend of democracy, but he does have a Putin fetish.

173
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: Like his friend Donald Trump. Victor Orbon and his agents

174
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: from Hungary along with the Heritage Foundation, will be briefing

175
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: United States senators of the Republican Party urging them to

176
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: cut off military funding for Ukraine. There is a conspiracy

177
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: of extremism that is as historically illiterate and blind as

178
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: their antecedents as their predecessors the America First Movement of

179
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: Charles Limberg that preceded the Second World War. Limberg tried

180
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: to end America's Draft, which would have devastated America's preparations

181
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: to fight the Nazi menace. They tried to cut off

182
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: funding for the United Kingdom. These people have always been wrong.

183
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: They have stood on the side of segregation domestically, and

184
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: they have stood on the side of appeasement abroad. These

185
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: dangerous hours deserve rebuttal and response. The United States government

186
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: must fund an arm the Ukrainian military for as long

187
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: as Ukraine is fighting Russia, and that war may last

188
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: one year, two years, five years, or ten and the

189
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: American commitment must be this, whatever it takes to defeat

190
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: and break the Russian army in Ukraine, so that it

191
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: cannot cause aggression in Europe, that it cannot lure Americans

192
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: to war, that it does not cause the Third World's

193
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: war or a massive casualty war on European soil involving

194
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: another generation of Americans. All over Europe are the cemeteries

195
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: where Americas war, dead or buried armies of liberation. Let

196
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: us honor them by making sure that there is never

197
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: another young American that joins them under a white Cross

198
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: or a Star of David in a row an army

199
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: at rest, facing back home across the ocean they did

200
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: not return from, like their grandfathers and great great grandfathers
