Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: So what do you do if you're the White House
- 0:03Speaker 1: and you realize that the American people are starting to
- 0:05Speaker 1: understand the bribes that you've been taking and the amount
- 0:09Speaker 1: of money that's been coming into your bank accounts, and
- 0:12Speaker 1: the cash that's rolling in from different nations that are
- 0:15Speaker 1: our adversaries. When you've got twenty million dollars coming in
- 0:19Speaker 1: during the vice presidency from Russia, Kazakhs, and Ukraine into
- 0:23Speaker 1: the Biden coffers, even liberals are starting to raise eyebrows.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Then you find out you got another eight million that
- 0:29Speaker 1: came in from China, some of those payments coming directly
- 0:32Speaker 1: from companies owned by the Chinese Communist government. And then
- 0:36Speaker 1: you've got another three million we just learned about that
- 0:38Speaker 1: came in from Romania when Joe Biden was the Vice president.
- 0:42Speaker 2: What do you do? You try to change the narrative
- 0:45Speaker 2: and how do you do it?
- 0:46Speaker 1: Apparently by giving six billion dollars to Tyran. Yeah, there
- 0:55Speaker 1: was a story that happened trying to get it off
- 0:58Speaker 1: the headlines of all the corruption. The White House needed
- 1:01Speaker 1: a narrative change. They needed something to hang their hat
- 1:04Speaker 1: on that looked like they were doing something amazing for
- 1:06Speaker 1: the American people something you would want to celebrate, and
- 1:09Speaker 1: getting hostages back American hostages from Iran sounded apparently like
- 1:14Speaker 1: a good idea. And that's exactly what the Biden administration
- 1:18Speaker 1: has now done. They have decided to pay six billion
- 1:22Speaker 1: dollar ransom to Iran so that they can get some
- 1:26Speaker 1: Americans out. The Iranian people's blood is on President Joe
- 1:32Speaker 1: Biden's hands and his administration is responsible for financing terrorism.
- 1:37Speaker 1: That according to Republican Representative Claudia Tinne of New York,
- 1:41Speaker 1: who accused the president last night of paying ransom after
- 1:46Speaker 1: the Iranian regime transferred five Iranian Americans from prison to
- 1:51Speaker 1: house arrests in exchange for billions in unfrozen assets. In
- 1:59Speaker 1: a statement, Representative Tenny address the matter, insisting the US
- 2:04Speaker 1: government quote should never negotiate with terrorists, let alone fund terrorists.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And that's exactly what just happened. By giving the Iranian
- 2:13Speaker 1: leadership six billion, the Biden administration is responsible for financing
- 2:18Speaker 1: terrorism and fueling the continued oppression of the Iranian people,
- 2:22Speaker 1: the congresswoman stated. According to Tenning, not only does this
- 2:25Speaker 1: show the Biden administration will bow down to terrorists, but
- 2:29Speaker 1: encourages terroristic regimes to kidnap more Americans for the prospect
- 2:34Speaker 1: of a major payoff quote unquote, mark my word. This
- 2:38Speaker 1: ransom will not be used for humanitarian purposes, but will
- 2:41Speaker 1: be used to fund terrorists organizations like Hamas and Palestinian
- 2:46Speaker 1: Jihadis known as PIJ and also, she says, will continue
- 2:51Speaker 1: to be used to imprison, to torture, and murder the
- 2:55Speaker 1: Iranian people who try to stand up for their freedom.
- 2:59Speaker 1: The blood of the Ranian people is on President Biden's hand,
- 3:02Speaker 1: she concluded, Tenny's comments common response to an excited reporter,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I should say an excited report coming out of the
- 3:10Speaker 1: White House that there was a deal that Iran struck
- 3:14Speaker 1: with a Biden administration to unfree six billion dollars in
- 3:18Speaker 1: Iranian financial assets and release a handful of Iranian nationals
- 3:22Speaker 1: jailed for violating US sanctions in exchange for five Americans
- 3:26Speaker 1: taken prisoner by Iran on highly dubious charges of espionage.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Iran's frozen funds in South Korea will be unblocked and
- 3:36Speaker 1: transferred to Katar, the Iranian Mission to the United Nations stated,
- 3:41Speaker 1: apparently referring to the six plus billion dollars sum US
- 3:45Speaker 1: sources who spoke to the New York Times publication and
- 3:49Speaker 1: Reuters confirmed the financial aspects of this deal. The deal
- 3:54Speaker 1: follows massive protests that have swept Iran following the September
- 3:58Speaker 1: death of a twenty two year old while in custody
- 4:02Speaker 1: of the government.
- 4:04Speaker 2: They have a.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Notorious brutalization police force that will destroy people, and that's
- 4:11Speaker 1: exactly what they did. Why did they go after this
- 4:14Speaker 1: twenty two year old for violating strict requirements for women
- 4:18Speaker 1: to keep their heads covered in public. That twenty two
- 4:21Speaker 1: year old was murdered. A many was reportedly abducted and
- 4:27Speaker 1: killed by the force for having exposed some hair from
- 4:30Speaker 1: beneath her mandatory Islamic headscarf. That was what she did wrong.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Since then, a slew of insigns involving abuses and even
- 4:39Speaker 1: deaths at the hands of the regime have been documented
- 4:43Speaker 1: him in an ongoing clampdown on protests, with clips circulating
- 4:47Speaker 1: showing Iranian regime officers brutally assaulting protesters in response. Criticisms
- 4:53Speaker 1: of the Islamic regime and its tactics have continued to grow,
- 4:57Speaker 1: so does the Biden administration. Due we give them six
- 5:00Speaker 1: billion dollars in May, over one hundred former world leaders
- 5:04Speaker 1: penned an open letter to the head heads of the US,
- 5:07Speaker 1: Canada and EU and the UK calling for the regime
- 5:10Speaker 1: in Iran to be held accountable for its long running
- 5:12Speaker 1: crimes against humanity. Among the more than one hundred signers
- 5:17Speaker 1: of the letter, including fifty former presidents and forty seven
- 5:21Speaker 1: former prime ministers, were former US Vice President Mike Pence,
- 5:25Speaker 1: former British Prime Minister Truss, former Canadian Prime Minister Harper,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and Italian ex Premier Rinsey. The same month, the United
- 5:34Speaker 1: States announced sanctions against Iranians accused of plotting to assassinate
- 5:39Speaker 1: former US government officials, dual US and Iranian nationals and
- 5:45Speaker 1: dissidents that happened this year. In October, representatives of Iran's
- 5:53Speaker 1: parliament in exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran
- 5:57Speaker 1: claimed Irana's currently witnessing a revolution in the making, asserting
- 6:01Speaker 1: that despite the crimes and savagery committed by the regime's
- 6:04Speaker 1: suppressive forces, including the killing and torturing of protesters during
- 6:09Speaker 1: current protests against the Islamic regime by angry citizens, the
- 6:13Speaker 1: Islamic Republic is no longer capable of containing the current uprising,
- 6:17Speaker 1: So what do we do? We decided it to be
- 6:19Speaker 1: a good time to send the regime six billion dollars. Now,
- 6:23Speaker 1: Iran the largest state sponsor of terrorism worldwide. Let me
- 6:28Speaker 1: say that again. Iran is the largest state sponsor of
- 6:32Speaker 1: terrorism worldwide. They have long viewed the United States is
- 6:37Speaker 1: a They call it a principal antagonist, and they refer
- 6:43Speaker 1: to US and accuse the US of inciting protesters in
- 6:46Speaker 1: a bid to destabilize the region. Previously, Iranian Armed Forces
- 6:53Speaker 1: spokesman affirm that America is the Iranian Republic's quote top enemy,
- 7:00Speaker 1: while the Islamic Republic Supreme Leader has both stored of
- 7:02Speaker 1: having defeated the United States as he assured a crowd
- 7:06Speaker 1: of supporters that their quote death to America chant would
- 7:11Speaker 1: yet be fulfilled as a new order would regulate the
- 7:16Speaker 1: US into isolation. So to be clear, Iran says that
- 7:20Speaker 1: we are their number one enemy. Iran was one of
- 7:25Speaker 1: the top killers of American soldiers in Iraq, allowing for
- 7:31Speaker 1: ISIS al Qaeda and other fighters to come in and
- 7:34Speaker 1: out and get safe haven in Iran to attack and
- 7:36Speaker 1: kill American forces in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Many American
- 7:41Speaker 1: citizens former soldiers who were blown up by roadside bombs,
- 7:46Speaker 1: who lost their eyesight, their arms, their legs, who are
- 7:50Speaker 1: in wheelchairs for rest their lives. Those bombs were made
- 7:54Speaker 1: and created in Iran. Iran was making more roadside bombs
- 7:58Speaker 1: than any nation in the world to kill American soldiers.
- 8:02Speaker 2: And what did this White House just do?
- 8:05Speaker 1: We just gave them six billion dollars to fund their terrorism.
- 8:11Speaker 1: They are, and the Biden administration will tell you this
- 8:15Speaker 1: the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And why did we give them six billion? Because the
- 8:22Speaker 1: White House was hoping for a good headline that would
- 8:25Speaker 1: get the of the pages of our newspapers and off
- 8:29Speaker 1: of our TV screens that they were taking bribes from
- 8:32Speaker 1: all over the world while Joe Biden was the Vice
- 8:36Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. Look, you did

- 9:46Speaker 1: You have a president a White House that had a
- 9:52Speaker 1: conversation and they set down and they said, we've got
- 9:56Speaker 1: to change the narrative.
- 9:58Speaker 2: We've got a bad news cycle. We got to change
- 10:00Speaker 2: the narrative.
- 10:01Speaker 1: We've got a lot of stuff going on right now
- 10:04Speaker 1: that we don't want people to know about. We don't
- 10:06Speaker 1: want people to talk about, we don't want people to
- 10:08Speaker 1: see it. So we got to change the narrative, and
- 10:12Speaker 1: they did it by giving six billion dollars to a
- 10:15Speaker 1: terrorist organization to free some Americans, so that they would
- 10:19Speaker 1: hope that the media would then put front page news
- 10:22Speaker 1: that Americans were released from Iran and that would make
- 10:25Speaker 1: the American people excited and jump up and down and go, Yes,
- 10:29Speaker 1: good job, mister President, good job Biden administration.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Well done.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Way to get these hostages out. You know what you
- 10:41Speaker 1: can do with six billion dollars. By the way, you
- 10:43Speaker 1: know me roadside bombs, you can make you know me terrorists,
- 10:45Speaker 1: you can fund. Iran is the number one state sponsor
- 10:50Speaker 1: of terrorism in the world. Hamas has Blah, many other groups.
- 10:54Speaker 1: They have no problem. They've worked without Kaida. That's the
- 10:56Speaker 1: fact they've worked with Isis. That's a fact. They've worked
- 10:59Speaker 1: with the worst terrorists in the world. They've harbored and
- 11:02Speaker 1: given safe haven to people like Osama bin Laden. That's
- 11:06Speaker 1: a fact. That's who they work with. And we just
- 11:10Speaker 1: gave him six billion dollars. Even at CNN. Even at CNN,
- 11:17Speaker 1: John Kirby went on TV from the White House trying
- 11:21Speaker 1: to celebrate the five Americans attained and Iran released on
- 11:25Speaker 1: house arrests right, like, this is some amazing accomplishment. Jake
- 11:29Speaker 1: Tapper wasn't totally buying it right, because Jake Tapper understands
- 11:35Speaker 1: how egregious this abuse it is this and how bad
- 11:40Speaker 1: this deal is. I want you to listen to this
- 11:42Speaker 1: back and forth as he challenged the White House on hey,
- 11:47Speaker 1: you guys know that you just gave Iran six billion dollars.
- 11:50Speaker 1: It's more than a billion dollars an American Like, they're
- 11:55Speaker 1: pretty bad people in Iran.
- 11:57Speaker 3: That's five US detainees who are now out of prison
- 12:02Speaker 3: but on house arrest. And is the exchange going to
- 12:06Speaker 3: be for five Iranian prisoners here in the United States,
- 12:09Speaker 3: as well as more than six billion dollars in frozen
- 12:12Speaker 3: Iranian assets being unfrozen.
- 12:14Speaker 4: I think I'm going to refrain from getting too much
- 12:16Speaker 4: into the specifics of the negotiations, Jake. They're ongoing today
- 12:20Speaker 4: was a important first step, but it was just a
- 12:23Speaker 4: first step. They are out of prison, but they are
- 12:26Speaker 4: not out of Iran. And so we're going to be
- 12:27Speaker 4: a little careful here about what we put in the
- 12:29Speaker 4: public space about what the negotiations are going to look
- 12:31Speaker 4: like once they get home and they're safe and sound.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Back with their families where they belong. Then I think
- 12:35Speaker 4: we'll be a little bit more at liberty to talk
- 12:37Speaker 4: with more specificity on what the negotiations look like. But
- 12:40Speaker 4: they aren't. Those negotiations are active, Jake. They're not done.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Just to jog everyone's memory out there. In twenty sixteen,
- 12:48Speaker 3: US officials confirmed the President Obama secretly approved a four
- 12:52Speaker 3: hundred million dollar cash transfer to Iran. This was also
- 12:56Speaker 3: previously frozen Iranian assets. On the same day Iran release
- 13:00Speaker 3: for American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal. We
- 13:04Speaker 3: even saw a video from Iranian state video which appeared
- 13:06Speaker 3: to show actual palettes of cash. This obviously became very controversial.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Republicans jumped on it and insisting that this was basically
- 13:15Speaker 3: negotiating with terrorists or ransom payment. The White House denied that.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Just this afternoon, Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence said, quote,
- 13:23Speaker 3: Biden has authorized the largest ransom payment in America American
- 13:27Speaker 3: history to the Malas in Tehran. Unquote. What would your
- 13:30Speaker 3: response to that be?
- 13:32Speaker 4: That he's wrong?
- 13:33Speaker 5: Just plain and simple.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Look, while I can't tell you everything that we're doing
- 13:36Speaker 4: and everything that this is, I can certainly tell you
- 13:39Speaker 4: what it's not. And there's not going to be a
- 13:41Speaker 4: ransom payment, there's not going to be sanctions relief, there's
- 13:44Speaker 4: no US taxpayer dollars that are going to be applied
- 13:47Speaker 4: to getting these Americans home, and this six billion dollars
- 13:50Speaker 4: without getting into the details of the negotiations, I think
- 13:54Speaker 4: there's a little confusion about what this account is all about.
- 13:58Speaker 4: This is part of a system of accounts that were
- 14:01Speaker 4: set up in the previous administration that allowed some countries
- 14:04Speaker 4: to import Iranian goods, non sanctionable goods, and that the
- 14:07Speaker 4: Iranians could pull on those accounts, those payments through through
- 14:10Speaker 4: a special system only used for humanitarian purposes. And that's
- 14:15Speaker 4: what we're talking about here. It's a pre existing account
- 14:18Speaker 4: that was set up in the previous administration, which they
- 14:20Speaker 4: allowed other countries to set up, that has not been
- 14:23Speaker 4: made accessible to the Iranians. They'd be able to have
- 14:26Speaker 4: some access to it, but only for humanitarian purposes.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Five Americans who are part of this deal that we
- 14:34Speaker 3: know of being released from the Aven prison, four of
- 14:38Speaker 3: them and put in a house arrest in a hotel.
- 14:40Speaker 3: The fifth one already was in that house arrest. Are
- 14:43Speaker 3: there removing them from the equation. We certainly all hope,
- 14:46Speaker 3: we certainly hope that they all get out of Iran
- 14:48Speaker 3: and back to the United States. Are there any other
- 14:51Speaker 3: American citizens or American green cark?
- 14:53Speaker 1: No, let me just stop there the fact that And
- 14:57Speaker 1: again Jake Tapper, it's like he's like, Okay, I asked
- 15:01Speaker 1: the question, but he didn't push Like why didn't you
- 15:05Speaker 1: guys make sure before they got the six billion dollars
- 15:07Speaker 1: that were un frozen they were in America? Like why
- 15:09Speaker 1: are you guys trusting Iran to put them on her
- 15:11Speaker 1: house arrests? Like there's a lot of questions you could
- 15:14Speaker 1: have asked, you know, did you just not raise the
- 15:17Speaker 1: bar in the world that now an American syst and
- 15:19Speaker 1: held hostage by a rogue regime is worth over a
- 15:21Speaker 1: billion dollars? There's another question I would love to be answered, right,
- 15:28Speaker 1: Like that would be a normal and great question that
- 15:30Speaker 1: should be answered. You got five people, it was six billion.
- 15:36Speaker 1: You're telling me that each person's worth one point two
- 15:38Speaker 1: billion dollars? Is that how we're going to do the math?
- 15:41Speaker 2: Now?
- 15:41Speaker 1: So, if an American goes and gets taken in Iran
- 15:44Speaker 1: or by some other major Terrish regime. This is the
- 15:49Speaker 1: new normal. You could follow up on that question if
- 15:54Speaker 1: you cared. And by the way, while all this is happening,
- 15:57Speaker 1: there was another headline that broke. Biden now seeking twenty
- 16:01Speaker 1: four more billion dollars of your tax dollars for Ukraine,
- 16:06Speaker 1: testing bipartisan support in Congress. US President Joe Biden, while
- 16:10Speaker 1: giving six billion to Ran, is now begging Congress to
- 16:14Speaker 1: approve a forty billion dollar package, including twenty four billion
- 16:18Speaker 1: for Ukraine and other international needs, four billion related border security,
- 16:21Speaker 1: he claims, and twelve billion for disaster relief. A senior
- 16:25Speaker 1: Administration official said the needs were great and the White
- 16:28Speaker 1: House was hopeful in agreement could be reached with Congress
- 16:31Speaker 1: on the request, which covers only the first quarter of
- 16:33Speaker 1: the current fiscal twenty twenty four year. The first quarter, okay,
- 16:37Speaker 1: just the first quarter. So if we stick with that
- 16:40Speaker 1: burn rate, it's going to be one hundred billion dollars
- 16:42Speaker 1: for Ukraine. Because that this is just the first quarter
- 16:46Speaker 1: the requests, they say it could face opposition in Congress
- 16:48Speaker 1: for some far right Republicans, especially those with close ties
- 16:51Speaker 1: the former Donald Trump President Donald Trump won to par
- 16:55Speaker 1: To want to pair back to billions and assistance Washington
- 16:58Speaker 1: has sent since Russian troops invaded in February of twenty
- 17:02Speaker 1: twenty two. Trump, the front runner of the race to
- 17:05Speaker 1: be the Republican presidential nominee in twenty four has been
- 17:08Speaker 1: sharply critical if you have support for Ukraine in this war,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and seventy House members backed an unsuccessful proposal in July
- 17:15Speaker 1: to cut funding for Ukraine. So we're going to send
- 17:19Speaker 1: sixty billion to Ran. We need now another twenty four
- 17:24Speaker 1: billion for Ukraine. And that's just for the first quarter
- 17:28Speaker 1: of the years. That would mean if you average out,
- 17:30Speaker 1: that's one hundred billion dollars, is what they're I guess
- 17:35Speaker 1: they're guessing we need to send in the next year.
- 17:39Speaker 1: It's amazing how quick you can send money to other
- 17:42Speaker 1: countries when you need to get your own headlines off
- 17:45Speaker 1: the front pages of the news about you taking bribes
- 17:49Speaker 1: when you were the vice president of the United States
- 17:50Speaker 1: of America. Oddly enough, from places like Ukraine. Every day
- 17:55Speaker 1: there are two different economies that are growing bigger and bigger.
- 17:57Speaker 1: One of them is powered by everyday Americans who are
- 18:00Speaker 1: sick and tired of all the woke propaganda being jammed
- 18:03Speaker 1: into every.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Product that we're consuming. Well, big mobile companies are no different.
- 18:08Speaker 1: For years, they've been dumping millions and millions into leftist causes,
- 18:12Speaker 1: including planned parenthood. And you had to have a cell phone,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and that's the reason why you paid that bill, because
- 18:17Speaker 1: you didn't have an alternative. Well guess what, Now there's

- 19:30Speaker 1: as he was chatting with Maria Bartiromo about the GOP
- 19:35Speaker 1: releasing these new Biden bank records. His words, it's pretty
- 19:39Speaker 1: clear Joe Biden lied to the American people and.
- 19:43Speaker 6: The House Oversight Committee releasing new Biden family bank records
- 19:46Speaker 6: showing that the Bidens took in at least twenty million
- 19:50Speaker 6: dollars from countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The
- 19:54Speaker 6: GOP's memo showing a day after a Kazakhstani businessman sent
- 19:59Speaker 6: Hunter Biden in more than one hundred and forty two
- 20:02Speaker 6: thousand dollars, Hunter bought a Porsche for that exact same price.
- 20:07Speaker 6: The record's also tracking a Russian oligarchs three and a
- 20:09Speaker 6: half million dollar payment to a Hunter Biden Devin Archer
- 20:12Speaker 6: shell company. Then Vice President Joe Biden had dinner with
- 20:16Speaker 6: both the Kazakhstani businessman and Russian oligarch in twenty fourteen
- 20:20Speaker 6: and twenty fifteen. Joining US right now is Pennsylvania Congressman
- 20:23Speaker 6: Dan Muser. He's a member of the House Financial Services
- 20:25Speaker 6: and Small Business Committees. Congressman, is great.
- 20:27Speaker 4: To see you.

- 20:29Speaker 6: Thank you so much for joining us. I want to
- 20:31Speaker 6: talk about financing a second, because I know when you
- 20:33Speaker 6: all get back from a recess you're going to have
- 20:35Speaker 6: to deal with the government running out of money. But
- 20:37Speaker 6: first let's talk about these new findings from the House
- 20:39Speaker 6: Oversight Committee.
- 20:40Speaker 7: How do you see all of this, Well, it's pretty ugly.
- 20:43Speaker 7: It's pretty clear that Joe Biden lied. And why did
- 20:48Speaker 7: he lie? Because he knew the business that was taking place.
- 20:51Speaker 7: He knew a lot about the business. I mean, he
- 20:53Speaker 7: informed his son that he was in the clear. In
- 20:55Speaker 7: the clear for what Joe, And why were you lying?
- 20:58Speaker 7: Because you knew without pronouncing it. I mean you must
- 21:02Speaker 7: have known that there was some shady dealings taking place,
- 21:05Speaker 7: and with countries like Romanian, Katsaskan and the Moscow mayor
- 21:10Speaker 7: paying them three and a half million dollars and then
- 21:12Speaker 7: to celebrate.
- 21:13Speaker 5: Going to Cafe Milano. From the laptops, to the White
- 21:16Speaker 5: House records, to the bank records, and how about just
- 21:19Speaker 5: the whole you know, I get pushedback sometimes when we
- 21:21Speaker 5: refer to the Biden crime family. I mean, let's face it,
- 21:24Speaker 5: I mean, he's got his grandkids, he's got.
- 21:27Speaker 2: His grown children, he's got.
- 21:28Speaker 5: Grown relatives receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars into their
- 21:31Speaker 5: bank accounts.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:33Speaker 7: I know if somebody, everybody in my family got that
- 21:35Speaker 7: amount of money into their bank account, they'd be asking
- 21:37Speaker 7: a few questions.
- 21:40Speaker 1: They'd be asking questions. He, by the way, is absolutely
- 21:43Speaker 1: right in the way that he just described that. They'd
- 21:45Speaker 1: be asking a hell of a lot of questions, right,
- 21:49Speaker 1: But they're not now. And the reason why they're not
- 21:52Speaker 1: is because they know that this is part of the
- 21:54Speaker 1: cover up.
- 21:55Speaker 2: This is what you have to do to cover up.
- 21:58Speaker 1: There's the reason why the president is snapping over the
- 22:00Speaker 1: family question and the money coming into his family because
- 22:03Speaker 1: he knows he cannot defend that question. Lee Zelden said
- 22:08Speaker 1: this about Joe and Hunter Biden and the possibility of
- 22:12Speaker 1: them being subpoenaed by Congred. The reason why he's snapping
- 22:16Speaker 1: is he simply cannot answer anything outside of a teleprompter.
- 22:21Speaker 6: President Biden getting defensive and lashing out at our very
- 22:24Speaker 6: own Peter Deucy yesterday when asked about his family's shady
- 22:28Speaker 6: business dealings.
- 22:30Speaker 3: There's this testimony now where one of your son's former
- 22:33Speaker 3: business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a
- 22:37Speaker 3: lot with them talking business.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Is that what Rever shag us his name? And I
- 22:42Speaker 2: know you're not a lowsy question? Well, why is that
- 22:45Speaker 2: a lousy question? Thank you? Is not true.
- 22:48Speaker 6: Joe Concha is a Boxes contributor and calmnist for The Messenger.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Joe, good morning.
- 22:53Speaker 6: You know, is it really a lowsy question?
- 22:55Speaker 5: Or should everyone in the media be asking this right now?
- 22:59Speaker 8: Well? Can I answer your question with a question? I mean,
- 23:03Speaker 8: why does it always have to fall to Peter Doucey
- 23:05Speaker 8: or Jackie Heinrich to ask these kinds of completely relevant,
- 23:09Speaker 8: completely fair, completely not lousy questions? And here you have
- 23:13Speaker 8: the sitting president of the United States answering like a
- 23:16Speaker 8: jilted teenager who just got caught cheating on a test.
- 23:20Speaker 8: I mean, every reporter that covers Joe Biden should be
- 23:22Speaker 8: following up with questions like these every time he provides
- 23:25Speaker 8: the opportunity to do so, which is rare. I mean,
- 23:28Speaker 8: this is the president who has not had a solo
- 23:30Speaker 8: press conference on US soil since November. He simply cannot
- 23:34Speaker 8: answer anything outside of a teleprompter, and especially as it
- 23:37Speaker 8: pertains to the Biden bribery scandal, which are not going
- 23:39Speaker 8: away as long as the GOP controls the House.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Ashley, It's true they cannot answer the question.
- 23:49Speaker 2: The question continues to be the problem. Right.
- 23:53Speaker 1: If you can't answer this question about these bribes coming
- 23:57Speaker 1: in and the releasing of these new bides in bank
- 24:00Speaker 1: rep records, it's pretty clear that Joe Biden lied to
- 24:03Speaker 1: the American people.
- 24:06Speaker 2: You've got these plans.
- 24:07Speaker 1: This is a peen of these documents, right, and the
- 24:10Speaker 1: Trunk family members are going to get hauled before a committee.
- 24:14Speaker 1: That's also a really big deal if this happens and
- 24:18Speaker 1: they get hauled in this way. Listen to what Lee
- 24:21Speaker 1: Zelden had to say about that.
- 24:23Speaker 6: Mack moments ago conducting Congressmen and Truman of the House
- 24:26Speaker 6: Oversight Committee. James Comer told me that the House Oversight
- 24:29Speaker 6: Committee is planning to subpoena President Joe Biden and his
- 24:33Speaker 6: son Hunter Biden in the influence pedaling case.
- 24:36Speaker 9: Lee, your reaction, this is big news as far as
- 24:40Speaker 9: I know. It's the first time that we've heard this,
- 24:43Speaker 9: and I remember in the last administration, Trunk family members
- 24:47Speaker 9: were getting hauled before committees. Adam Schiff had Don Junior
- 24:52Speaker 9: for nine hours inside of this skiff. They had one
- 24:55Speaker 9: family member after another coming in. So the White House
- 24:59Speaker 9: can't respond to this by saying it is unprecedented if
- 25:03Speaker 9: the House tries to call in Hunter Biden or Jim
- 25:06Speaker 9: Biden or any of the other Biden's involved in this
- 25:08Speaker 9: foreign influence pedaling.
- 25:10Speaker 10: But this is a big deal and there absolutely is
- 25:14Speaker 10: president We saw this play out throughout the Trump administration.
- 25:17Speaker 6: Yeah, it's incredible, But what about subpoena ing a sitting president.
- 25:22Speaker 6: Can he pushed back and say, no, I'm a sitting president,
- 25:24Speaker 6: I'm not coming under oath for you.
- 25:26Speaker 10: That would be predictable. I would imagine that under no
- 25:30Speaker 10: circumstances whatsoever would the White House, Joe Biden, the Democrats
- 25:36Speaker 10: ever want Joe Biden to be directly accounting for any
- 25:40Speaker 10: of this, especially sitting in front of the House. But
- 25:43Speaker 10: even if they decide is their play call that they
- 25:46Speaker 10: are not going to send Joe Biden over and they
- 25:49Speaker 10: want to argue precedent, which is very predictable, they cannot
- 25:53Speaker 10: use that as an excuse for shielding Hunter Biden and
- 25:57Speaker 10: Jim Biden and these others who are directly involved. They
- 26:00Speaker 10: need to go testify if that subpoena comes out. That's
- 26:03Speaker 10: exactly what the Trump family did. They showed that they
- 26:06Speaker 10: had nothing to hide. I mean, Don Jeters sat there
- 26:09Speaker 10: for nine hours answering all their questions about this Russia
- 26:12Speaker 10: collusion hoax. Why can't Hunter Biden show up and do
- 26:15Speaker 10: the same and answer questions for hours?
- 26:16Speaker 2: Well, why canting? That's the question.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Why can't they because they know they can't answer those
- 26:22Speaker 1: questions and they know they're going to be in trouble
- 26:25Speaker 1: if they try to answer those questions. So, just to
- 26:27Speaker 1: recap what the White House is willing to do to
- 26:31Speaker 1: try to get this off the front page. They're willing
- 26:34Speaker 1: to give a twenty four billion more to Ukraine in
- 26:36Speaker 1: the first quarter of the year. That's one hundred billion
- 26:38Speaker 1: on average for the year. They're willing to give billions
- 26:42Speaker 1: of dollars back to Iran, right allowing Iran state sponsored terrorists.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I mean, we just gave billions of dollars to ran
- 26:52Speaker 1: for five Americans, six billion dollars, six billion, folks, So
- 26:57Speaker 1: they can change the narrative on the on the front
- 26:59Speaker 1: page the news paper, so that the newspapers won't have
- 27:02Speaker 1: to cover the Biden family corruption.
- 27:04Speaker 2: That's your tax dollars, that's what they're doing.
