Speaker 1: Center.
Speaker 2: Nice to be with you today, and we have got
Speaker 2: two major topics to talk about. Obviously, Hunter Biden and
Speaker 2: the possibility he may actually show up. I want to
Speaker 2: get your prediction on that, but not yet. Before we
Speaker 2: get to that, I want to deal with something that
Speaker 2: happened the White House and also the way that it's
Speaker 2: covered by the media. We had these pro Palestinian protesters
Speaker 2: trying to storm the White House. This has somehow become normal.
Speaker 2: That concerns me on its face, but we also had
Speaker 2: I think what was even more shocking is just how
Speaker 2: the media that did cover it kind of downplayed it, like, Oh,
Speaker 2: it wasn't that big of a deal. Yeah, they're pushing
Speaker 2: on fences, Yeah they're throwing bottles, Yeah they're saying blank
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. I worry about this from what could happen
Speaker 2: in the future, if this becomes the new norm.
Speaker 1: Does it concern you at all?
Speaker 3: So it does. This is a story of escalating extremism.
Speaker 3: This is a story of threats of violence. This is
Speaker 3: a story of law enforcement applying double standards. This is
Speaker 3: a story about our exposure to real and serious terrorism,
Speaker 3: and it's story about the media silencing any narrative they
Speaker 3: don't like. I just want to ask you this, as
Speaker 3: you're sitting here listening to this podcast over the weekend,
Speaker 3: did you watch any six o'clock news that said today
Speaker 3: prohamas protesters stormed the White House. You didn't, And there's
Speaker 3: the reason you didn't because none of the news covered it.
Speaker 3: But take a look at the video at what happened
Speaker 3: this week, and this is at the White House. So
Speaker 3: I got to say that that is some of the
Speaker 3: most concerted let's go, Brandon, I.
Speaker 1: Have ever heard. Yeah, let me.
Speaker 3: Ask you something. If the same scene had played out,
Speaker 3: except instead of screaming Fbiden, they screamed the same thing
Speaker 3: about Donald Trump, how do you think CNN would have
Speaker 3: handled it in.
Speaker 1: A very big, very different way.
Speaker 2: They would have actually covered it, probably wall to wall,
Speaker 2: probably live, probably would have been at the White House
Speaker 2: and showing it.
Speaker 3: You know, same thing, ABCNBCCBS. And yet when they agree
Speaker 3: with the protesters, it's not news. Now. There you see
Speaker 3: them screaming. There, you see them slamming into the fences
Speaker 3: that are guarding the White House. There you see them
Speaker 3: trying to push them over.
Speaker 2: You can see bottles being thrown over, rocks being thrown
Speaker 2: over for you guys that are listening to audio only,
Speaker 2: and they're throwing them at the White House complex and
Speaker 2: also at the Secret Service and Capitol police there.
Speaker 1: And this is the double standard I think as well.
Speaker 2: If a conservative group was doing this, it would also
Speaker 2: be wall to wall live coverage, certainly on cable television,
Speaker 2: that there was a you know, right to life group,
Speaker 2: which they wouldn't be doing this now.
Speaker 1: Throwing bottles, throwing rocks an end.
Speaker 2: They would be using the insurrection their favorite word, and
Speaker 2: they would be demanding that there would be lots of arrests.
Speaker 3: So let's be clear. If you walk out today and
Speaker 3: you walk out on any public street and you pick
Speaker 3: up a rock and you throw it at a police officer,
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: You would hope that person I say hope because you
Speaker 2: never know anymore, would be arrested.
Speaker 3: In any sane world, they will throw your butt to
Speaker 3: the ground, they will put you in handcuffs, and they
Speaker 3: will arrest you. You don't get to throw rocks and
Speaker 3: bottles at police officers or at Secret Service agents. In
Speaker 3: this instance, we see the protesters in the video. For
Speaker 3: those of you that are not watching the video, there
Speaker 3: are multiple rocks. There are multiple bottles being flung over
Speaker 3: the fence straight at the law enforcement, and right in
Speaker 3: the background is the White House. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: right on the lawn of the White House where these
Speaker 3: protesters are throwing rocks, are throwing bottles. And then take
Speaker 3: a look at this next video.
Speaker 2: This is the one that concerns me the most because
Speaker 2: there seems to be real momentum center of of actually
Speaker 2: breaching the White House. They're trying to breach. They're screaming,
Speaker 2: break it down. You can hear them there. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is the mob is surging.
Speaker 3: So if you're not watching this video, there is temporary
Speaker 3: fencing erected outside the White House that they put up
Speaker 3: presumably because they knew that this protest slash riot was
Speaker 3: going to happen, and you see the mob surging and
Speaker 3: trying to tear it down. Now, they didn't succeed in
Speaker 3: this instance, although the public reports are that they damage
Speaker 3: the fencing, but they didn't manage to tear it down.
Speaker 3: But I got to say, if you're Hamas and you're
Speaker 3: watching this and you say, wait a second, it's that
Speaker 3: easy to almost tear down the fence that gives you
Speaker 3: access to the White House. What kind of invitation is
Speaker 3: that for terrorism especially? Look, all right, fine, you're throwing rocks,
Speaker 3: you're throwing bottles at police officers. You are trying to
Speaker 3: push down the gate, you're coming close to pushing down
Speaker 3: the fence vents. Actually, hold on. There's one more video
Speaker 3: you can see where they're climbing the fences. So take
Speaker 3: a look at this video.
Speaker 2: And also throwing things over the fencing. You can see
Speaker 2: them trying to remove a piece of the fencing there.
Speaker 2: If you're not getting to watch this, there's sections of
Speaker 2: this fencing and you can see where one of them
Speaker 2: has become disengaged from the other piece of the fence.
Speaker 2: And that's the weakest link now in this fence, and
Speaker 2: that's where all the Secret Service and Cavin Police apparently
Speaker 2: have surge to protect that so that people can't get
Speaker 2: through that basic gap where there's no weakness there.
Speaker 3: And there you can see one of the riders climbing
Speaker 3: the fence, trying to get over the fence. Look, on
Speaker 3: one level, we should be grateful there have been no
Speaker 3: reports of injuries of officers, so that's good. I'm very
Speaker 3: grateful that assuming there were no injuries that's a good thing.
Speaker 3: When you're flinging rocks and bottles at officers, that's an
Speaker 3: invitation to violence. And it may be that these protesters
Speaker 3: just have allows the aim. I don't know, But what
Speaker 3: is striking is in the face of this, what's also
Speaker 3: been reported is that there were zero arrests. So you
Speaker 3: can go and try to tear down the fence at
Speaker 3: the White House. You can go throw rocks, you can
Speaker 3: go and throw throw bottles, you can try to climb
Speaker 3: over the fence, and nothing happens to you. And contrast
Speaker 3: this to the massive expenditure of law enforcement efforts going
Speaker 3: after January sixth, after every peaceful protest. Mind you, the
Speaker 3: Department of Justice has made clear the US Attorney in
Speaker 3: DC has said they are going after and trying to
Speaker 3: prosecute people from January sixth who did not engage in
Speaker 3: violence and who did not enter the capitol. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: at this point they're saying, if you stood in a
Speaker 3: place that we've determined you're not allowed to stand, even
Speaker 3: though you didn't enter the capitol, even go to engage
Speaker 3: in no acts of violence, We're coming and breaking down
Speaker 3: your door and we're going to arrest you. It is
Speaker 3: at this point blatant, brazen. They are not hiding it.
Speaker 3: January sixth is their excuse to persecute the political opponents
Speaker 3: of the president. And let's be clear, Look, the same
Speaker 3: thing is true whether you're pro Trump, pro Biden, or
Speaker 3: pro Hamas or pro Black Lives Matter. If you are
Speaker 3: engaged in peaceful speech that is protected by the Constitution.
Speaker 3: If you are engaged in violence that is not what
Speaker 3: is striking here. They don't arrest you if they agree
Speaker 3: with what you're doing. In this scene at the White House,
Speaker 3: it's reminiscent of what happened at the courthouse, the Federal
Speaker 3: courthouse in Portland were night after night after night, there
Speaker 3: was an assault on the courthouse. There was an assault
Speaker 3: on the courthouse that involved throwing, throwing rocks, throwing projectiles
Speaker 3: at law enforcement, throwing essentially molotov cocktails and firebombs at
Speaker 3: the courthouse, using industrial strength lasers trying to blind law enforcement.
Speaker 3: There were multiple law enforcement officers injured at the Portland courthouse.
Speaker 3: And again, what did the local police do? Nothing? Because
Speaker 3: the Democrats there are perfectly willing to allow violent protesters
Speaker 3: to attack and injure law enforcement if they agree with
Speaker 3: their policies. The same thing is true here, and because
Speaker 3: the media is celebrating with these protesters, they're not telling
Speaker 3: you about this kind of assault at the White House.
Speaker 1: There's a national.
Speaker 2: Security aspect of this, and you mentioned a moment ago,
Speaker 2: but I go back to the opening scenes of the
Speaker 2: movie Argo, which is the true story about great movie
Speaker 2: by the.
Speaker 1: Way, phenomenal movie, and that opening scene.
Speaker 2: If you've never seen it, go watch it, and it's
Speaker 2: so realistic to what actually happened that day and Iran,
Speaker 2: where they were protesting day after day, and the protests
Speaker 2: that kept getting bigger, and then it was all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, get over the gate. Then it was the
Speaker 2: gates wid open, and then you had the entire hostage
Speaker 2: situation that took place.
Speaker 1: I see this.
Speaker 2: It's like you're one welled away from a fence breaking,
Speaker 2: a barrier breaking, and then it's all hell breaks loose,
Speaker 2: and yet we're tolerated it on a level that is
Speaker 2: terrifying to me from a national security standpoint. As you mentioned,
Speaker 2: what if you're Hamas, what if you're heads blah, what
Speaker 2: if your other terrorist groups that have come across the
Speaker 2: southern border you're learning from this, there's no way they
Speaker 2: don't watch this and learn from it.
Speaker 3: Look, that's exactly right, and it's important to understand the
Speaker 3: media angle. You know, a podcast we did a couple
Speaker 3: of months ago was entitled CNN is Hamas's Air Force.
Speaker 3: So is ABC, so is MSNBC. If you didn't watch
Speaker 3: or listen to that podcast, you ought to go back
Speaker 3: and listen to it. I was actually looking and it's
Speaker 3: one of our top ten podcasts we've ever produced, so
Speaker 3: people really downloaded it. That one is available on audio.
Speaker 3: All of our podcasts are available on audio, but that
Speaker 3: one we did just like this one we're doing right
Speaker 3: now as a video podcast, and so you ought to
Speaker 3: actually go download the YouTube. By the way, when you
Speaker 3: do it, subscribe to the podcast. You need to subscribe
Speaker 3: to places. Number one, you need to subscribe on YouTube
Speaker 3: that gets you the video podcast we do to typically
Speaker 3: one out of every three pods we do as video,
Speaker 3: and so those ones you can see what we're putting up.
Speaker 3: And then you also need to subscribe on audio, whether
Speaker 3: it's Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts,
Speaker 3: because all of our podcasts are audio. So if you
Speaker 3: just do YouTube or Rumble or some other video source,
Speaker 3: you'll only get a third of our podcast. If you
Speaker 3: do audio, you get all of them. But that particular
Speaker 3: podcast CNN is hamasa's air force. We played like a
Speaker 3: dozen stories from actual news stories. We put the video
Speaker 3: up and we walked through one at a time, one
Speaker 3: at a time. How Hamas has a strategy that they
Speaker 3: know the useful idiots in the media will be their
Speaker 3: propaganda arms. Will they will, They will amplify any story
Speaker 3: they can to make Israel look bad, to demonize the Israelis,
Speaker 3: to elevate the Hamas protesters. And so why is it.
Speaker 3: It's not an accident, It's not like you know, it
Speaker 3: was a really busy news day. This weekend was not
Speaker 3: that busy a newsday feature the Texans putting an ass
Speaker 3: whipping on Cleveland. Yes it did, and I'd be okay
Speaker 3: if that led the news everywhere, I'd be all right
Speaker 3: with that. Two pick six is what consecutively was spectacular.
Speaker 3: So look, if that wanted to be the lead headline
Speaker 3: for the weekend, that would be fine, but it wasn't.
Speaker 3: The reason CNM, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC didn't lead with
Speaker 3: this or even cover it on the news is because
Speaker 3: this narrative is inconvenient for what they want. This looks
Speaker 3: bad for hamas. Yeah, violently assaulting the White House. And
Speaker 3: let's be clear, they're not violently assaulting a building. The
Speaker 3: reason they are pressing the fence, trying to tear down
Speaker 3: the fence to the White House, trying to violently tear
Speaker 3: down the fence to the White House. The reason they
Speaker 3: are yelling f Joe Biden. They are threatening physical violence.
Speaker 3: That that that that should not be lost on anybody.
Speaker 3: These are people throwing rocks and bottles, They're They're not
Speaker 3: just waving signs. And in this instance, we also know
Speaker 3: that the White House caated number one reporters and number two.
Speaker 3: White House staff said all right, you guys need to
Speaker 3: move because this is dangerous.
Speaker 1: Inside the White House. Let's be very clear about that.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. If you're one of the
Speaker 3: reporters who was relocated, you know what, I'd like the
Speaker 3: names of every reporter was relocated, and I'd like to
Speaker 3: know did any one of them report on it? Yeah, Like,
Speaker 3: if you're a reporter and they tell you you're at
Speaker 3: the White House, you cannot stay where you are because
Speaker 3: you are not physically safe. Last I check. That's news.
Speaker 3: In a normal, sane world, that would be news. I
Speaker 3: promise you if the protesters were wearing Maga hats, it'd
Speaker 3: be news. Jake Tapper would be having a heart attack
Speaker 3: on air.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what insurrection looks like. This is what
Speaker 2: they've learned from Donald Trump. This is a continuation of
Speaker 2: January sixth.
Speaker 3: And every reporter who was moved knows about it, every
Speaker 3: one of them. If you were told you're no longer
Speaker 3: safe where you are, they should report on this. But
Speaker 3: the reason they did, and as I said, go back
Speaker 3: and watch our pop if you didn't see an anas
Speaker 3: Amasa's air force, because this is deliberate and Hamas counts
Speaker 3: on their active assistance to undermine and attack Israel.
Speaker 2: Last question on this, and it goes back to a
Speaker 2: story we talked about earlier this week that also you
Speaker 2: know this Sunday is the biggest news day, right It's
Speaker 2: where all the talking heads get together, they do the
Speaker 2: biggest week you know, the week in review shows. On
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, there was a massive story and we covered it.
Speaker 2: No one else did that. There's a real concern now
Speaker 2: from the United States government that hes block could carry
Speaker 2: out attack inside the United States of America. That was
Speaker 2: also another story that was not covered as well that
Speaker 2: I think ties to these types of stories as well. Right,
Speaker 2: But you have a real concern now from within our
Speaker 2: US government that hes block could have people in this country.
Speaker 3: Already, the FBI keeps going to the White House saying
Speaker 3: this risk is real and it's growing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yet the media is also not covering that
Speaker 2: narrative as well. Don't the American people deserve to see
Speaker 2: that headline first and almost saying hey, look, there is
Speaker 2: an open border. There's a byproduct of this which is
Speaker 2: a national security issue. And now we have warnings going
Speaker 2: to the White House from the government that hesbelot could
Speaker 2: actively be planning some sort of significant attack within the
Speaker 2: United States of America in our border.
Speaker 3: Well. And when they see that this sort of protest
Speaker 3: slash riot can start to get violent, can try to
Speaker 3: tear down fences, can throw rocks and bottles, and nothing
Speaker 3: can happen to them. That is an invitation for terrorists
Speaker 3: to do worse. And when the media doesn't cover it,
Speaker 3: it makes it all the more likely.
Speaker 2: Want to tell you about our friend's over at Patriot
Speaker 2: Mobile for over ten years, Patriot Mobile has been the
Speaker 2: only Christian conservative cell phone provider in the country.
Speaker 1: I love them, I use them.
Speaker 2: When I look down at my cell phone in the
Speaker 2: top left, it says Patriot and that means I know
Speaker 2: every time I make a phone call, every time I
Speaker 2: send a text, and every time I pay my bill,
Speaker 2: I am actually supporting a company that stands my values.
Speaker 2: If you are sick and tired of giving your money
Speaker 2: to people that hate your values, Big Mobile. They don't
Speaker 2: like your conservative Christian values. In fact, many of them
Speaker 2: give massive donations to democratic candidates, causes and plan Parenthood.
Speaker 2: So stand with your values and vote with your dollars.
Speaker 2: Stand with a company that actually gives back. That's what
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile does. When you pay your bill and no
Speaker 2: extra cost to you, they give a percentage of your
Speaker 2: bill every month back to conservative causes, organizations that stand
Speaker 2: for First and Second Amendment rights, as well as the
Speaker 2: rights of unborn children. I can tell you get the
Speaker 2: same coverage you have right now. They use the same
Speaker 2: cell phone towers, So make the switch like I did
Speaker 2: a Patriot Mobile. You can call them. You can get
Speaker 2: free activation as well with the promo code Verdict. All
Speaker 2: you got to do is call them nine to seven
Speaker 2: to two Patriot. That's nine seven to two Patriot nine
Speaker 2: seven to two Patriot, or Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict.
Speaker 2: That's patriotmobile dot com slash verdict. Senator, I want to
Speaker 2: move to another story that this we was one that
Speaker 2: kind of made me laugh. Hunter Biden came to Congress,
Speaker 2: he had this stunt. He went to this committee hearing
Speaker 2: where they're going to hold him in contempt, and then
Speaker 2: he walks out. We found out that there were camera
Speaker 2: crews there for his documentary. Apparently he's trying to make
Speaker 2: money now off of this, which is pretty hilarious.
Speaker 1: And we also.
Speaker 2: Found out that he does, in fact know who's buying
Speaker 2: his art seventy to eighty percent of the people that
Speaker 2: are buying his art.
Speaker 1: Apparently he knows about the White House.
Speaker 2: Promised us they would all be anonymous so they couldn't
Speaker 2: buy influence over the White House.
Speaker 1: That was a massive lie. And now we've got a
Speaker 1: new letter.
Speaker 2: From his attorney saying, well, okay, we might come and testify,
Speaker 2: but you've got to give us new reasons to come
Speaker 2: testify and new requests to testify, because we say the
Speaker 2: other ones were invalid.
Speaker 1: It sounds pretty insane. Walk us through it.
Speaker 3: Well, Listen, this is either a massive retreat from Hunter
Speaker 3: Biden his legal team, or it's a legal game or.
Speaker 1: Both, or just part of a great documentary.
Speaker 3: Well be that could be. It may explain why he
Speaker 3: showed up at the hearing. Actually, and showing up at
Speaker 3: the hearing was an odd decision because it it had
Speaker 3: to have made Joe Biden deeply unhappy. It had to
Speaker 3: have made the White House deeply unhappy. They didn't like
Speaker 3: the pictures of him sitting there smugly while he's in
Speaker 3: the process of being held in contempt. It's it's not
Speaker 3: a good look if you're Joe Biden. That's not a
Speaker 3: good look. That kind of defiance, that that that kind
Speaker 3: of I am beyond reproach. That's not a good political
Speaker 3: story for the White House. So why did he do it? Well,
Speaker 3: this letter may give a key. So his lawyer wrote
Speaker 3: a letter to James Comber and a Jim Jordan, and
Speaker 3: he said, he says Number one, he says, look, Hunter
Speaker 3: did comply with your subpoena. And here's why he says
Speaker 3: he complied. He said, you know you're complaining that Hunter
Speaker 3: is seeking special treatment. But Hunter took you up on
Speaker 3: the offers you gave. And he says, for example, and
Speaker 3: he has two different quotes. He has one and these
Speaker 3: are quotes from James Comber. Quote number one quote, we're
Speaker 3: in the downhill phase of this investigation now because we
Speaker 3: have had so many documents and we can bring these
Speaker 3: people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.
Speaker 3: And he italicizes whichever they choose. And then a second quote, quote,
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden is more than welcome to come in front
Speaker 3: of the committee. He's invited today. We will drop everything
Speaker 3: in front of the committee as italicized. And what Hunter
Speaker 3: argues is, in fact, I'll read the next paragraph from
Speaker 3: the letter, Obviously accepting your unqualified invitation to choose a
Speaker 3: forum for his testimony is neither seeking special treatment nor
Speaker 3: contemptuous behavior. Nevertheless, your actions demonstrate you were not serious
Speaker 3: about getting facts of the truth and simply wanted to
Speaker 3: stage some gotcha political theater and create another legal issue
Speaker 3: for mister Biden. Now that explains maybe why Hunter showed
Speaker 3: up is that his lawyers, and he's got very good,
Speaker 3: very experienced Washington lawyers, may have been trying to set
Speaker 3: this letter up and say, oh, look, you can't hold
Speaker 3: him in contempt because he showed up. He would have
Speaker 3: testified at a public hearing, and you said, give us a
Speaker 3: deposition or give us a hearing. That's clever. I think
Speaker 3: it's too clever by half. But that's their argument is
Speaker 3: we we tried to comply, we showed up, and you
Speaker 3: didn't take him up on it. That's argument number one.
Speaker 3: Argument number two he goes back early into the Trump
Speaker 3: impeachment inquiry when there was a big dispute about whether
Speaker 3: the subpoenas were valid to various witnesses involved in the
Speaker 3: Trump impeachment before the House of Representatives had voted to
Speaker 3: open an impeachment inquiry, and Republicans had argued, well, the
Speaker 3: House hasn't voted open an impeachment inquiry, so these subpoenas
Speaker 3: aren't valid. And what he argues is, well, you know,
Speaker 3: your subpoenas to Hunter were issued before the House had
Speaker 3: voted to open an impeachment inquiry. Remember, Kevin McCarthy at
Speaker 3: the outset said oh, we don't have the votes, so
Speaker 3: we're not going to vote to do that. Now. Subsequently
Speaker 3: they got the votes, and so they voted open an
Speaker 3: impeachment inquiry in the House has voted formally to authorize
Speaker 3: an impeachment inquory into Joe Biden and so, but what
Speaker 3: he argues is at the time you issued the subpoena
Speaker 3: as they were invalid because there was not a House vote.
Speaker 3: All of what leads up to the end of the
Speaker 3: letter where he says, quote, if you issue a new
Speaker 3: proper subpoena now that there is a duly authorized impeachment inquiry,
Speaker 3: mister Biden will comply for a hearing or deposition. We
Speaker 3: meaning the lawyers will accept such a subpoena on mister
Speaker 3: Biden's behalf. So what he's saying is all right, he'll
Speaker 3: show up either for a hearing or a deposition. Here's
Speaker 3: what I think the House should do. Look, on one level,
Speaker 3: they can be annoyed, they can be pissed. These are
Speaker 3: legal games, these legal arguments or technicalities. They're playing games.
Speaker 3: Here's my very strong advice. So what he's offering to
Speaker 3: show up, take him up on it. Take him up
Speaker 3: on it. Right now. The House is back on Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Issue the subpoena on Tuesday. You are hereby subpoena to
Speaker 3: show up for a deposition may get a very short window,
Speaker 3: make it a week. If they issue it on Tuesday,
Speaker 3: you are hereby subpoena to show up next Tuesday. You
Speaker 3: have one week. Now. Look, I can understand there will
Speaker 3: be some lawyers in the House saying, we don't need
Speaker 3: a new subpoena. Our other one was fine.
Speaker 1: So what.
Speaker 3: There'll be others who say, well, the House was getting
Speaker 3: ready to vote on a contempt hearing. For example, here's
Speaker 3: what Steve Scalise just tweeted out floor vote announcement with
Speaker 3: two red sirens. Next week, the House will vote to
Speaker 3: hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for repeatedly defying subpoenas.
Speaker 3: Enough of his stunts. He doesn't get to play by
Speaker 3: a different set of rules. He's not above the law.
Speaker 3: That may have been one of the major predicates that
Speaker 3: they're getting ready this week to vote on contempt. Here's
Speaker 3: my advice. Hold off a week, issue the subpoenas.
Speaker 1: Right now and say you got a week to show up.
Speaker 3: You've got a week to show up, and delay the
Speaker 3: contempt vote by a week. If he shows up, don't
Speaker 3: hold him in contempt. Remember, and this is what I
Speaker 3: would urget'sten James Comer is my friend. Jim Jordan is
Speaker 3: my friend. Steve Scalise is my friend. These are good guys.
Speaker 3: Remember remember, remember, Hunter Biden is not the target.
Speaker 1: It's the President of the United States of America.
Speaker 3: And why is that? Because the evidence is growing every
Speaker 3: day that the President of the United States is corrupt
Speaker 3: and so engaging in a year long battle with Hunter
Speaker 3: Biden about whether or not Subpoena number one was technically accurate.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Who cares, Yeah, move on quickly.
Speaker 3: If we do that, If the House does that, they
Speaker 3: are playing into the White House's hands. That's what they want.
Speaker 3: They want a year of legal skirmishes over issues that
Speaker 3: don't matter. He says, if you give me a subpoena,
Speaker 3: I will show up issue it right now, say we accept.
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'd also say, fine, all right,
Speaker 3: you're really excited about doing a deposition, subpoena him for
Speaker 3: a deposition in a week, and subpoena him for a
Speaker 3: hearing in three weeks, like we need to get the
Speaker 3: hearing moving fast. You do the deposition in a week,
Speaker 3: a hearing in three weeks. You got two weeks to
Speaker 3: study everything from the deposition. But let's be clear, it
Speaker 3: is January already. The White House's strategy is very simple
Speaker 3: to lay this past election day, run out the clock,
Speaker 3: run out the clock, and so the House they're great guys,
Speaker 3: but they need to understand that the Democrats are fighting
Speaker 3: this like street fighters. They need to be smart and
Speaker 3: savvy and move forward. I don't know if he'll show
Speaker 3: up or not. This may be a ruse. If you
Speaker 3: issue the subpoena on Tuesday, you give him one week
Speaker 3: and he doesn't show up in one week, vote on
Speaker 3: the contempt the next day, like you can speed this up.
Speaker 3: But if he's offering to surrender, give him a chance
Speaker 3: to do so.
Speaker 2: Let's talk politics to the White House for this for a moment,
Speaker 2: because I don't believe that anybody in the White House
Speaker 2: that is the sane political operative. What if advised Hunter
Speaker 2: Biden to show up last week in Congress the way
Speaker 2: that he did. Yep, it brought a lot more I think,
Speaker 2: noise to the story.
Speaker 3: It made the news cover, it made the news.
Speaker 2: To their job, which and if it was for a documentary,
Speaker 2: that was incredibly stupid.
Speaker 1: I also don't know how much.
Speaker 3: Is it any stupider than smoking crack then.
Speaker 1: Your laptop in some guy's yeah place. Yeah Like.
Speaker 3: Look, I've never met Hunter Biden, but I think it's
Speaker 3: fair to say he's not going to be granted honorary
Speaker 3: MENSA membership anytime soon. I would agree he has made
Speaker 3: a series of life choices that were suboptimal, and many
Speaker 3: of those life choices were disastrously bad for Daddy. Now,
Speaker 3: to be clear, just taking that narrative on its face
Speaker 3: is not the right way to look at it, because
Speaker 3: if you just say, you know, poor Joe Biden has
Speaker 3: anir to well Son, you know, Unfortunately, Look that happens,
Speaker 3: and parents don't control the acts of their children anymore
Speaker 3: than children control the acts of their parents. The reason
Speaker 3: this is a matter of public concern, and I want
Speaker 3: to keep underscoring it because it's easy to lose focus.
Speaker 3: It's not Hunter Biden's drug problem. It's not his own
Speaker 3: personal criminal activity. If his name were Hunter Smith, no
Speaker 3: one would care. The reason it matters is because the evidence,
Speaker 3: I think is now overwhelming that he had a business
Speaker 3: for years, for decades of selling favors from Daddy. That
Speaker 3: is official corruption. Daddy was the vice President of the
Speaker 3: United States. Daddy is now the President of the United States,
Speaker 3: and the evidence is growing that it's not just Hunter profiting,
Speaker 3: it's the entire family. It is millions of dollars, it
Speaker 3: is shell corporations, it is money laundering, that this is
Speaker 3: a family business. You know the phrase the Biden crime family.
Speaker 3: I used to not like that. In fact, you and
Speaker 3: I on this podcast, you would use that phrase, and
Speaker 3: I was hesitant to go down there. And I gotta admit,
Speaker 3: is the evidence is piled up. If it ain't that,
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but it sure you know,
Speaker 3: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,
Speaker 3: that's a duck, dammit. And so what I would encourage
Speaker 3: House Republicans is remember the focus, the reason this matters
Speaker 3: is official corruption by the President of the United States.
Speaker 3: Everything else. Hunter, at the end of the day, is
Speaker 3: a witness. He is a co conspirator, he is a criminal,
Speaker 3: but he is also a witness to the corruption by
Speaker 3: the officeholder. And that's where the focused.
Speaker 2: And that brings me back to the question about the
Speaker 2: White House we saw. I think I don't know how
Speaker 2: much the presence honestly involved in this I think you
Speaker 2: would probably agree with me on that. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he's picking up the phone saying yeah, go show
Speaker 2: show up to his son.
Speaker 1: I okay, I think no, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know because I don't know how much he's
Speaker 2: even involved in the in the real strategies.
Speaker 3: Here, because nobody focused on Joe Biden's political interest and
Speaker 3: I do believe Joe Biden is very interested in Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's political interests, would advise Hunter to do that? That
Speaker 3: was a decision that hurt the White House?
Speaker 2: Well, then, and that's where I go back to, how
Speaker 2: concerned do you think they are that if he testifies,
Speaker 2: he might be unhinged enough to say something stupid, Because
Speaker 2: as we saw Joe Biden, the first Lady came out.
Speaker 2: We played this earlier this week in one of our
Speaker 2: episodes go back and listen to it. Joe Biden came out,
Speaker 2: did a one on one interview and talked about this
Speaker 2: and talked about you know, their son, and well, he's
Speaker 2: an addict and you should feel sorry for him. And
Speaker 2: in fact, she accused Republicans saying, how dare you put
Speaker 2: him through this pain of having to answer these questions
Speaker 2: you're picking on him.
Speaker 1: Stop it.
Speaker 3: How dare your husband sell influence and sell favors? How
Speaker 3: dare your husband make make and your family make millions
Speaker 3: of dollars not from our friends, but from corrupt oligarchs
Speaker 3: in communist China and Russia and Ukraine. This is this
Speaker 3: is about official corruption. And they're going to try to
Speaker 3: play the sympathy card and says it's just substance abuse. No,
Speaker 3: if that were it, you should send him to rehab.
Speaker 3: It's not just substance abuse. The evidence here is of
Speaker 3: official corruption. That's why it matters. And so again, I
Speaker 3: can't underscore this more. We said this when James Comer
Speaker 3: was on the podcast. The White House wants this to
Speaker 3: be delayed with all sorts of ancillary legal battles. Was
Speaker 3: this poena valid? Was that subpoena valid? Who's on first?
Speaker 3: What's on second? Like anything other than the question what
Speaker 3: did Joe Biden know and what and when did he
Speaker 3: know it? What did he make? What was his role?
Speaker 3: They want to protect Joe Biden. And if we're fighting
Speaker 3: over other issues, we're not focused on Joe Biden. So
Speaker 3: is it fair that he can move the goalpost and say, oh,
Speaker 3: I don't like that's poena, but I like this the
Speaker 3: poena No, but who cares? You're going to show up? Yes,
Speaker 3: we accept, and if you don't in a week, we'll
Speaker 3: hold you in contempt.
Speaker 2: All right, real quick, though, let's talk about your finances.
Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty four and a lot of us are
Speaker 2: trying to get our finances in order. There are some
Speaker 2: great news for homeowners. Interest rates have dropped and are
Speaker 2: now in the fives, a lot lower than what they
Speaker 2: were last year. If you've been buried in high interest
Speaker 2: credit card debt, now's the time to break free. American
Speaker 2: Finance and can help you access the cash in your
Speaker 2: home to pay off your high interest debt. Last year,
Speaker 2: their salary based mortgage consultants help customers save an average
Speaker 2: of eight hundred and fifty four dollars a month. That's
Speaker 2: like giving yourself a ten thousand dollar raise. What a
Speaker 2: way to start the new year off. And if you
Speaker 2: start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments.

Speaker 2: start at six point four Zeroso for well qualified borrowers.
Speaker 2: Call eight and eight six seven, five forty nine for
Speaker 2: details about credit costs and terms. All right, lastly, I
Speaker 2: do have to ask you about a story. And you
Speaker 2: love sports as much as I love sports. I watched
Speaker 2: a lot of sports. It's my way of just, you know,
Speaker 2: disconnecting from the political world. There was one story this
Speaker 2: week that just made me so happy that ESPN got busted.
Speaker 2: The same people that are so sanctimonious about anybody that
Speaker 2: they think might be doing something wrong in sports, and
Speaker 2: they got all in on the Black Lives Matter and
Speaker 2: all the kneeling protests and stood behind people that were kneeling.
Speaker 2: So this happened this week. ESPN took awards won by
Speaker 2: imaginary people whose names they submitted on purpose, so John Do,
Speaker 2: Jane Doo right, people that didn't work for them, didn't
Speaker 2: even exist, they knew didn't exist, and then had these
Speaker 2: awards after they won, re engraved to give quote on
Speaker 2: air personalities statues. ESPN awarded the trophies to front facing
Speaker 2: figures to give them more clout so this was like
Speaker 2: a clear conspiracy to raise, you know, the stature of
Speaker 2: their own on air people. They gave these figures to
Speaker 2: college game day hosts such as Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreet,
Speaker 2: Chris Fowler, Desmond Howard, and Sam Ponder. This is because
Speaker 2: quote hosts were not eligible to be honored in a
Speaker 2: credit list until twenty twenty three. Now, this scheme was
Speaker 2: something that went on, not for like a year or two,
Speaker 2: went on for decades. What happened, well until twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: They said, we were just trying to give them what
Speaker 2: we thought was so they needed. They're now being forced
Speaker 2: to give the statues back. I got to get your
Speaker 2: reaction to it. It's amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, like a lot of sports fans, ESPN pisses
Speaker 3: me off. ESPN pisses me off because they've decided in
Speaker 3: recent years that they don't actually really care about sports.
Speaker 3: They care about woke politics, and so they spend it
Speaker 3: seems more time lecturing us about their radical politics than
Speaker 3: actually covering sports, like watching amazing plays, watching great catches
Speaker 3: in the end zone, watching you know, tomahawk dunks or
Speaker 3: crushing blocks, or you know, amazing Grand Slam hits. I mean,
Speaker 3: sports is is fun to watch, but they've said, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: we're political commentators. We're left wing, and you know what,
Speaker 3: MSNBC is not woke enough for us. We can be
Speaker 3: to the left of MSNBC. And it pisses me off
Speaker 3: because most sports fans are not hardcore Marxist. We're watching
Speaker 3: it because we enjoy it, and so ESPN it is
Speaker 3: almost worth watching it on mute. I don't quite do that,
Speaker 3: because you do learn when they cover sports, you occasionally
Speaker 3: learn some interesting things, and so I like, you know,
Speaker 3: I like hearing the commentary of you know so and so.
Speaker 3: This is, for example, the the Cleveland Browns, I learned
Speaker 3: when the Texans were winning, were the first team in
Speaker 3: twenty years to make the playoffs after leading the NFL
Speaker 3: in turnovers. Did you know that?
Speaker 1: I did not know that.
Speaker 3: It's it that's kind of interesting, you know at FLACCOH Look,
Speaker 3: Flack is a very good quarterback. He just has a
Speaker 3: bad habit of throwing interceptions. But he's still he's an
Speaker 3: old dude. So I sort of like watching old dudes
Speaker 3: that are not not yet uh put out that.
Speaker 1: Habit as long as he's on the other team. I
Speaker 1: love that habit.
Speaker 3: It was they weren't interceptions, they were great passes to
Speaker 3: our defenders and needed needed to score. Our defense almost
Speaker 3: outscored the offense. I mean that was the fourteen points
Speaker 3: from the d is pretty good. All right. Anyway, that's
Speaker 3: commentary you like to hear. That's kind of an interesting
Speaker 3: FACTOI and it's like, huh, I didn't know that. But
Speaker 3: instead ESPN just yabbers on and it's a corporate decision.
Speaker 3: Corporate It's I don't even I remember. I remember when
Speaker 3: I saw the change in real life. You remember on
Speaker 3: ESPN too, they used to show Cole Pizza. They would
Speaker 3: have on guests.
Speaker 2: I was a guest that did that show regularly, and
Speaker 2: I did it when there was a controversy that was
Speaker 2: quasi kind of like political in nature with it with sports,
Speaker 2: and they used to have both sides, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they said, hey, we basically ban all conservatives.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But by the way, I'm curious, check me on this.
Speaker 3: When when Daily Wire came out with their movie Lady Baller,
Speaker 3: in which yours truly has a cameo. Now it's a
Speaker 3: sports movie. It's a sports movie.
Speaker 2: I wonder if you'll get an Emmy for that, Like
Speaker 2: if they because that's a real name, they could at
Speaker 2: least nominate, right, But.
Speaker 3: My question, did ESPN cover the movie Lady.
Speaker 1: Ballers, which was a sports movie. They should have at
Speaker 1: least mentioned it.
Speaker 3: It's a sports movie. It's really funny. It's like dodgeball.
Speaker 3: It's really funny. The premise of Lady Ballers, which if
Speaker 3: you haven't watched it, you ought to go watch it
Speaker 3: because you'll laugh. It's well done. I have a tiny cameo,
Speaker 3: so my part is completely inconsequential. But the premise is
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys in their forties who, when they
Speaker 3: were in high school where the state champion in basketball,
Speaker 3: decide to pretend they're women and dominate women's basketball. It's
Speaker 3: really damn funny. It's amazing no one's made this movie
Speaker 3: for twenty years because it's an obvious premise, but they
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: Beauty, very predictable movie that should have been made.
Speaker 3: But no one would. And by the way, most Hollywood
Speaker 3: actors won't participate in it because they'd be blackballed for
Speaker 3: daring to laugh at the idio ces of the woke
Speaker 3: left well. ESPN would never acknowledge it exists, but we
Speaker 3: now know, and this story is amazing that ESPN in
Speaker 3: addition to being woke leftist propagandists, they are liars. They
Speaker 3: are engaged in.
Speaker 1: That active from decades.
Speaker 3: And understand what this lie is. It's really quite stunning.
Speaker 3: So they're submitting to an award show to win awards,
Speaker 3: and they're asked to list all of the crew. So
Speaker 3: if we give you an award, who deserves it and
Speaker 3: they just for decades put fake names there. Yeah, now
Speaker 3: they want a bunch of these awards, and so they'd
Speaker 3: get the award statues with a fake name. You know,
Speaker 3: you might say that is a Mickey Mouse award, Well,
Speaker 3: it might have been a Mickey Mouse award. It might
Speaker 3: have been awarded to Mickey Mouse. Because they just they
Speaker 3: made up names of human beings that don't exist, not
Speaker 3: even people that didn't work on the show. Just totally
Speaker 3: made up names. And why did they do it? Because
Speaker 3: they wanted the little statuette.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Emmy's a big deal.
Speaker 3: To pull the name plateed off and put somebody else's
Speaker 3: name that was their on air talent, and their on
Speaker 3: air talent was ineligible. And understand ESPN is being forced
Speaker 3: to return. I think it's thirty thirty seven, thirty seven,
Speaker 3: thirty seven.
Speaker 2: So they were ordered ESPN to return a total of
Speaker 2: thirty seven trophies, each of which was intended for a
Speaker 2: behind the scenes employee who does not exist. Former ESPN
Speaker 2: reporter Shelley Smith told The New York Times that in
Speaker 2: May of twenty twenty three, executive Stephanie Dooley ordered her
Speaker 2: to return her two Sports Emmy statues. Duley apparently told
Speaker 2: her that it was a serious matter and that the
Speaker 2: reason must stay between them.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't just that they got busted.
Speaker 2: There was in a cover up to make sure that
Speaker 2: the story didn't go public after they were ordered to
Speaker 2: get back the thirty seven.
Speaker 3: Try So, Ben, I'm gonna go online and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: see if you can order a fake Emmy, and I'm
Speaker 3: going to order a fake Emmy with the name Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 3: And then when it arrives, I'm gonna take Mickey Mouse
Speaker 3: off and I'm gonna put Ben Ferguson on.
Speaker 2: I love it you won for Lady Ballers, and I'll
Speaker 2: just make it up because.
Speaker 3: We but I want to put the Emmy up our
Speaker 3: Emmy award winning podcast because you know what, we won
Speaker 3: as many Emmys as the on air talent ESPN did it.
Speaker 3: They are literally fraudulent liars. And let me ask you
Speaker 3: a question. For every on air talent who had the
Speaker 3: statue in his office, who had it on TV, how
Speaker 3: many of them have apologized? How many of them have
Speaker 3: gone on air and said, you know what, I went
Speaker 3: on TV with an Emmy behind me that I didn't win,
Speaker 3: and it was fake and it was fraudulent, and I'm
Speaker 3: sorry for lying to you. And by the way, if
Speaker 3: their claim is we didn't know, how many of them
Speaker 3: have said I want to apologize. I didn't know, but
Speaker 3: my bosses did yea, And my bosses put it up
Speaker 3: because they were lying to you. They claimed to be
Speaker 3: a journalistic outlet, but they are engaged in fraud and
Speaker 3: they're lying to you. As far as I can tell,
Speaker 3: there has been zero journalistic integrity nobody at ESPN.
Speaker 1: Time, and there's a cover up.
Speaker 2: That's the best part of the story is not only
Speaker 2: were they busted, but ESPN executives are saying this has
Speaker 2: to stay between you and I. I need your Emmy back,
Speaker 2: and don't talk about it. Don't tell anybody. I need
Speaker 2: it back quickly. We don't want anybody in the public
Speaker 2: to find out we were doing this for decades.
Speaker 3: By the way, I really want to know the names
Speaker 3: of the fake employees, like how good they were? Yeah,
Speaker 3: did they do John Doe? Did they do Mickey Mouse?
Speaker 3: Did they do who flung dou Like? Like like what
Speaker 3: what kind of you know, peaking duck? Like what what
Speaker 3: kind of names did they go with? That would be
Speaker 3: great to know. I feel confident we will never know
Speaker 3: because ESPN and their parent company will do everything they
Speaker 3: can to say nothing to see here.
Speaker 2: This is Disney, right, Just just want to throw that
Speaker 2: out there, right, Does I think that's right?
Speaker 1: So to be fair, maybe Mickey Mouse Sickey Mouse distressed.
Speaker 3: Maybe they gave the name plate to Mickey Mouse. So
Speaker 3: it was a two fer it, you know, the Seven
Speaker 3: Dwarves all one Emmys.
Speaker 1: Sleepy got one. I like that.
Speaker 2: Well done, Well done to ESPN, good job trying to
Speaker 2: cover it up, And I'm so glad they got roasted.
Speaker 2: Don't forget we do this show. Monday was a Friday.
Speaker 2: Please make sure. And the algorithms have changed. On Apple
Speaker 2: you hit that follow button, you have to check back
Speaker 2: they've changed it. Some of you have been complaining that
Speaker 2: you're not auto downloading the show anymore. You have to
Speaker 2: manually go in and hit that follow button or subscribe.
Speaker 3: By the way, I can I jump in and say
Speaker 3: something you told me today, which is weird. Yes, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm giving no commentary as to why, but apparently the
Speaker 3: empirical data is that women, God bless you are much
Speaker 3: more effective about hitting subscribe over and over again, which
Speaker 3: is thank you, because Apple's messing with you and you
Speaker 3: got to hit subscribe over and over again. And for
Speaker 3: whatever reason, women do this, but men are dufuses and don't.
Speaker 3: And so I want to speak to men prove Ben wrong.
Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson says, you're a dufus. I want to stand
Speaker 3: in for the show. And I was like, You're like, what,
Speaker 3: why is this happening?
Speaker 2: The algorithm jam like, look, all I know is are
Speaker 2: saying women are much more focused and supporting shows by
Speaker 2: making sure they're subscribe, and men are dropping off, and
Speaker 2: and they're like that's just the way it is.
Speaker 3: But you know what, unlike men, I believe in men.
Speaker 1: I will let you throw me under the bus on
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: It is we'll see you back here.
Speaker 2: Don't forget Monday, Wednesday, Friday, best of the weekend, review
Speaker 2: on Saturdays. As always, pleasure being with you, and we'll
Speaker 2: see you back here in a couple of days
