Black Men are Being Jailed for ‘Years’ for the ‘Same Crimes’ as Hunter Biden · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: The headline is so accurate, and many African Americans are angry.
0:06
Speaker 1: Black men are in prison for years for the exact
0:10
Speaker 1: same crimes as Hunter Biden. That is what Representative Wesley
0:15
Speaker 1: Hunt had to say on the floor of the House.
0:18
Speaker 1: He also said it in committee.
0:20
Speaker 2: Listen, Biden will likely serve no jailotonphy offenses, and yet
0:26
Speaker 2: there was no early morning swat raid on Hunter's home
0:29
Speaker 2: in coordination with the media either. The American people are
0:33
Speaker 2: sick and tired of this two tier justice system, and
0:36
Speaker 2: as a black man, I'm tired of seeing this kind
0:39
Speaker 2: of discretion used to favor people like Hunter Biden because
0:42
Speaker 2: he's white and a son of a president.
0:45
Speaker 3: While Hunter Biden will serve no.
0:47
Speaker 2: Jail time for these charges, black men across this country
0:50
Speaker 2: are in prison for years for the exact same crimes.
0:53
Speaker 2: And I'm not surprised, because I guess this elective justice
0:57
Speaker 2: shouldn't become as a surprise to anyone in this room, because,
1:00
Speaker 2: after all, Joe Biden was one of the authors of
1:03
Speaker 2: the ninety four crime Bill, one of my all time favorites.
1:08
Speaker 1: You look at what he said there, and I think
1:11
Speaker 1: it's accurate. I think it's actually spot on and many
1:14
Speaker 1: African American men are furious. The American people are singing,
1:19
Speaker 1: tired of a two tier justice system. And as a
1:21
Speaker 1: black man, I'm tired of seeing this kind of discretion
1:24
Speaker 1: used to favor people like Hunter Biden because he's white,
1:29
Speaker 1: the congressman says, and the son of a president. The
1:32
Speaker 1: committee hearing was having a testimony from the Special Council
1:36
Speaker 1: John Durham about the findings that the FBI in properly
1:39
Speaker 1: investigated Donald Trump for possibly conspiring with Russia to win
1:44
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election. Wesley Hunt, who represents a large
1:49
Speaker 1: area of Houston, sought to broaden the focus of the discussion.
1:52
Speaker 1: Just a day after the Delaware US Attorney David Whites
1:56
Speaker 1: announced a generous plea deal that no one else could
1:59
Speaker 1: get except for the present son, despite hard time being
2:04
Speaker 1: the bar for well known comparable cases across the country.
2:10
Speaker 1: The West Point graduate, former Apache helicopter pilot and one
2:14
Speaker 1: of four Black House Republicans, added a jab at Hunter's father, saying, quote,
2:19
Speaker 1: I guess selective justice shouldn't come as a surprise. After all,
2:22
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was one of the authors of the nineteen
2:25
Speaker 1: ninety four crime Bill. One of my all time favorites.
2:29
Speaker 1: We can see what that's done to black men across
2:31
Speaker 1: this country. Durham, by the way, also expressed concern that
2:37
Speaker 1: Americans perceive a two tiered legal system, saying, quote, I
2:41
Speaker 1: don't think that things can go too much further with
2:44
Speaker 1: a view that law enforcement, particularly the FBI and the
2:48
Speaker 1: Department of Justice, runs a two tiered system of justice.
2:52
Speaker 1: The nation can't stand under those circumstances, Durham said, in
2:56
Speaker 1: response to an inquiry from Representative Hagman Republic from Wyoming.
3:01
Speaker 1: Hagman said she believes the Justice Department is weaponized to
3:05
Speaker 1: protect the favored few elites, the Clintons, the Bidens, while
3:09
Speaker 1: targeting their political enemies such as Trump, who faces federal
3:12
Speaker 1: criminal charges for allegedly mishandling classified documents. Yet President Biden's
3:17
Speaker 1: own handling of sensive records is now under investigation. But
3:20
Speaker 1: we know what happens when Biden's get investigated pretty much
3:23
Speaker 1: nothing now, Hunter Biden, as you know, has pled guilty
3:28
Speaker 1: or agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges a
3:33
Speaker 1: failing to pay taxes on time in twenty seventeen and
3:36
Speaker 1: eighteen in a felony count for being a drug user
3:38
Speaker 1: in possession of a gun which he purchased in twenty
3:41
Speaker 1: eighteen by lying about his drug use on a federal
3:45
Speaker 1: gun purchase form. The president son will have the felony
3:48
Speaker 1: conviction expunge if he completes two years of probation pursue
3:52
Speaker 1: it to the plea deal, which a judge must approve.
3:55
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden reportedly borrowed two million last year from wealthy
3:58
Speaker 1: Hollywood lawyer Kevin Moran to pay off his tax bill
4:03
Speaker 1: on millions of income from countries where Joe Biden held
4:07
Speaker 1: sway and was in charge of American foreign policy when
4:10
Speaker 1: he was the vice president, such as China and Romania
4:15
Speaker 1: and Ukraine, all of those countries where he was in
4:19
Speaker 1: charge of American foreign policy. From the White House's perspective,
4:23
Speaker 1: the Bidens got paid. The elder Biden interacted with many
4:27
Speaker 1: of the foreign business associates that Hunter and his brother,
4:30
Speaker 1: James Biden, the President's brother. That is, to be very clear,
4:34
Speaker 1: we're making a lot of money. The precise amount of
4:37
Speaker 1: backed taxes at issue was not stated in the initial
4:39
Speaker 1: court filings, which said that Hunter Biden owed more than
4:42
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand and federal taxes each year, The New
4:46
Speaker 1: York Post headlined pretty Clear showing a Hunter Biden neked
4:50
Speaker 1: with a gun next to his in his hand. It
4:53
Speaker 1: says Hunter gets away with this. Hunter Biden faunts the
4:56
Speaker 1: gun he wasn't supposed to own in selfies, but the
4:59
Speaker 1: fedser going to let him plead out without jail time
5:02
Speaker 1: for a felony record, only a slap on the wrists
5:05
Speaker 1: for gun and tax charges. Hunter Biden allegedly lied and
5:09
Speaker 1: he will agree that he lied on the federal gun
5:12
Speaker 1: purchase form. Hunter entirely avoided charges for money laundering and
5:16
Speaker 1: alleged violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act by representing the
5:22
Speaker 1: interests of foreign clients before the US government. He also
5:26
Speaker 1: avoided drug charges that disproportionately are used against racial minorities
5:32
Speaker 1: under his father's legislation, despite many photos of him is
5:35
Speaker 1: in crack cocaine on his laptop. Similar cases have resulted
5:40
Speaker 1: in much harsher penalties, which is why many African Americans
5:43
Speaker 1: are speaking out. It's a two tier justice system. The
5:46
Speaker 1: rapper's attorney, Bradford Said Cohen wrote in an Instagram post
5:51
Speaker 1: saying this about his client. Kodiak was charged for the
5:55
Speaker 1: same crime. He got over three years. Mister Biden will
5:58
Speaker 1: not serve a day. Feels right? Question Mark. Do have
6:01
Speaker 1: BI agents and federal authorities take cases personally? Question Mark?
6:04
Speaker 1: Then President Donald Trump commuted Black sentences in January of
6:07
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. In two thousand and eight, African American
6:11
Speaker 1: actor Wesley Snipes was also convicted by a jury of
6:15
Speaker 1: three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns worth
6:18
Speaker 1: a total of fifteen million. He was sent to three
6:20
Speaker 1: years in prison, despite being acquitted of felony charge of
6:24
Speaker 1: conspiracy defraud the government and filing a false claim. Attorney
6:28
Speaker 1: Robert Barnes, who represents Snipes, tweeted out this. As a
6:31
Speaker 1: criminal tax lawyer for a near quarter century, I confirm
6:37
Speaker 1: how rare and extraordinary the Hunter Biden plea deal is. Indeed,
6:41
Speaker 1: the deal violates the DOJ's tax official policy, where Biden's
6:46
Speaker 1: DOJ prohibited prosecutors from even offering this deal to people
6:51
Speaker 1: who did far less than Hunter. Americans of other races
6:57
Speaker 1: also received much differ punishments than the first son for
7:01
Speaker 1: trying to duck their taxes. Jersey short star Mike the
7:05
Speaker 1: situation was sentenced in twenty eighteen to eight months in
7:10
Speaker 1: prison for failing to pay two point three million in
7:12
Speaker 1: taxes over five years, roughly the same amount as Hunter
7:16
Speaker 1: Biden reportedly repaid. His older brother was sentenced to twenty
7:20
Speaker 1: four months in jail for failing to pay eight point
7:23
Speaker 1: nine million in taxes. The family pled guilty to a
7:28
Speaker 1: single count single counts of tax evasion and preparing a
7:32
Speaker 1: false return. Trump's twenty sixteen campaign chairman also, for example,
7:37
Speaker 1: held a different standard. Paul Mannifort, was then sixty nine,
7:41
Speaker 1: was sentenced to sixty months in prison, specifically for violating
7:47
Speaker 1: the Fair Act when he was repping a Ukrainian political
7:50
Speaker 1: party without first registering with the Justice Department, the same
7:54
Speaker 1: exact crime that Hunter Biden committed. Hunter Biden introduced China, Kazakhstan, Mexican, Russian,
8:01
Speaker 1: and Ukrainian businessmen, in some cases closely linked to governments
8:05
Speaker 1: directly to his father, and served as a conduit to
8:08
Speaker 1: current and former US officials from Mexican and Romanian businessmen
8:12
Speaker 1: as well. He didn't get sixty months in prison like
8:15
Speaker 1: Paul Manifort did. So why is there a double standard?
8:19
Speaker 1: Why is there a two tier justice system? I think
8:21
Speaker 1: it's pretty damn clear. If you are the Prince Hunter Biden,
8:25
Speaker 1: and your father's the king Man, the King Maker, the
8:28
Speaker 1: King pen of the crime family. You are held to
8:32
Speaker 1: a different standard. You can look at the American people,
8:35
Speaker 1: you can laugh in their face, and that's exactly what
8:39
Speaker 1: they are doing right now at the White House. Now,
8:42
Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want
8:44
Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good
8:46
Speaker 1: friends at Patriot Mobile. They are now offering a performance guarantee.
8:51
Speaker 1: If you're not happy with your coverage, you can switch
8:53
Speaker 1: between the three major carriers for free. Yeah, Patriot Mobile
8:57
Speaker 1: is America's only Christian concern servative wireless provider. They are
9:02
Speaker 1: for nationwide coverage on the best G four and G
9:05
Speaker 1: five networks, the same network and towers are using right now.
9:08
Speaker 1: The difference is not only do you get the same
9:11
Speaker 1: great quality that you're used to, but they actually are
9:15
Speaker 1: a company that fights to preserve or God given rights
9:19
Speaker 1: and freedoms. So this year resolved to stop spending your
9:23
Speaker 1: money with companies that don't align with your values. In fact,
9:26
Speaker 1: actually fight against what you believe in. Switch to Patriot Mobile.
9:30
Speaker 1: You'll be supporting First and Second Amendment groups, the rights
9:33
Speaker 1: of unborn children, and even helping with adoptions. It is
9:37
Speaker 1: easy to switch. Call them right now, or go online
9:40
Speaker 1: to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot
9:44
Speaker 1: com slash ferguson, or call them eight seven eight Patriot.
9:48
Speaker 1: You're gonna get free activation with the offer code ferguson.
9:52
Speaker 1: That's eight seven eight Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
9:57
Speaker 1: Democrats are now, especially those that are minorities, that our
10:02
Speaker 1: elected officials are in a tough spot because their constituents
10:05
Speaker 1: are actually angry. And no one saw this double standard coming,
10:11
Speaker 1: that it was going to turn into a racial issue.
10:13
Speaker 1: This is one of those X factors when something like
10:16
Speaker 1: this happens that I think no one was thinking about,
10:19
Speaker 1: and yet here we are. Corey Booker, for example, he
10:24
Speaker 1: has now come out saying this, I am suspicious of
10:27
Speaker 1: a two tier justice system, suspicious having to concede that, yes,
10:33
Speaker 1: African American men are going to prison for a long
10:37
Speaker 1: period of times for the same damn crimes and for
10:41
Speaker 1: lesser crimes than Hunter Biden. Now he calls it suspicious,
10:46
Speaker 1: but he doesn't say that it's wrong necessarily. I want
10:50
Speaker 1: you to listen to his well, I would call it
10:53
Speaker 1: no answer as he was talking on CNN with Chris Wallace.
10:57
Speaker 1: Take a listen, Senator.
11:00
Speaker 4: Did Hunter Biden get off easy?
11:03
Speaker 5: Look, you're talking to a guy who has seen the
11:06
Speaker 5: worst of the criminal justice system in America, where you
11:09
Speaker 5: see a two tier system. If you're a congress person,
11:11
Speaker 5: a senator, or a president, you can admit to using marijuana.
11:14
Speaker 5: But we are a nation that has been arresting young,
11:17
Speaker 5: low income black and brown people, literally thousands in America
11:22
Speaker 5: who can't get jobs for doing things that for at
11:26
Speaker 5: least or a few at least former presidents have admitted
11:28
Speaker 5: to doing so.
11:29
Speaker 6: I'm a person has a lot.
11:30
Speaker 5: Of suspicion about a justice system that I think is
11:33
Speaker 5: still working its way to be justice for all. So
11:36
Speaker 5: I don't know the particulars of this case. I have
11:38
Speaker 5: not followed the details. I imagine that there were prosecutors
11:43
Speaker 5: or trying appointed prosecutor who, like many prosecutors, are going
11:47
Speaker 5: after it with vigor, and they came to a plea deal.
11:50
Speaker 5: And as far as I'm concerned in the work that
11:53
Speaker 5: I have to do, I think justice has taken its course.
11:57
Speaker 4: You're talking about a two tiers done of rich and
12:02
Speaker 4: poor I'm asking you, do you think that there's a
12:05
Speaker 4: two tier system, a double standard for prosecuting Republicans and Democrats.
12:10
Speaker 1: But by the way, even Chris Wallace there is trying
12:13
Speaker 1: to help him out. He's like, you're talking about rich
12:15
Speaker 1: and poor, and he's basically saying, we're talking about black
12:18
Speaker 1: and white. But I'll go in a different way and
12:21
Speaker 1: try to help you out of the racial side of this, right,
12:24
Speaker 1: Corey Booker, and I'll say, is there a two tierism
12:27
Speaker 1: for Republicans and or Democrats?
12:30
Speaker 5: Absolutely not, especially the way that I think President Biden
12:34
Speaker 5: has tried to restore legitimacy to the Justice Department. He
12:39
Speaker 5: hired somebody that had a lot of respect on both
12:42
Speaker 5: sides of the aisle and then stayed away from them.
12:44
Speaker 5: You do not see him out there talking and when
12:47
Speaker 5: Hunter Biden cooperated with authorities. Clearly we do not see
12:52
Speaker 5: that in the case of Donald Trump.
12:54
Speaker 1: Right now, I love this hypocrisy from the left.
12:58
Speaker 3: Right.
12:59
Speaker 1: You got this big interview with Chris Wallace. Chris Wallace
13:03
Speaker 1: is sitting there, you know this is a big get.
13:06
Speaker 1: I got to ask you about the two tiered system
13:08
Speaker 1: of justice between the powerful and the regular people, and
13:11
Speaker 1: that has a lot of suspicion. They won't admit what
13:14
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about. It's a racial issue. And this question
13:17
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been asked if it wasn't to an African
13:20
Speaker 1: American man in Corey Booker. But Wallace at CNN doesn't
13:26
Speaker 1: have the guts to ask that question, so he phrases
13:31
Speaker 1: it as well, is this a two tiered justice system
13:34
Speaker 1: between the powerful and the regular folks? And then he says, well,
13:38
Speaker 1: there's a lot of suspicion, right, can't admit that it's
13:40
Speaker 1: a racial issue here? And then he says, well, hold on,
13:43
Speaker 1: is there a two tier system to a Republican or
13:45
Speaker 1: Democrat when the whole entire controversy is around African American men?
13:50
Speaker 1: If you are an African American man, can you get
13:53
Speaker 1: the same deal? Can you get off as easy as
13:56
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden? Corey Booker, by the way, refusing to admit
14:00
Speaker 1: that he got off easy, right, because if he says that, well,
14:03
Speaker 1: that's really big national news. So we got to just
14:05
Speaker 1: shove that one away as well. And if you want
14:09
Speaker 1: to know why Wallace's show failed so badly at CNN
14:12
Speaker 1: to the point now where they got to throw it
14:13
Speaker 1: on empty or what is it? Hbo. It is because
14:17
Speaker 1: when he's supposed to be asking real tough questions, he
14:21
Speaker 1: immediately punts on the issue as fast as he can.
14:25
Speaker 1: He punts so he doesn't have to be intellectually honest
14:30
Speaker 1: about what's happening right now. And that is the difference
14:33
Speaker 1: between the corrupt media and what they would do on
14:37
Speaker 1: a different standard if they were being asked real questions
14:41
Speaker 1: by a real journalists, which are dead now. They're communists,
14:46
Speaker 1: they're socialists, They're just all they do is go out
14:49
Speaker 1: there and say what the government wants them to say.
14:53
Speaker 1: Biden also was asked about how Hunter's feeling, which it
14:58
Speaker 1: makes me laugh, really, how he's feeling. Joe Biden nods
15:03
Speaker 1: and gives a thumbs up, doesn't even answer with words. Listen,
15:16
Speaker 1: mister president, how's Hunter feeling? He gives a little grin
15:20
Speaker 1: and a thumbs up. If you're Hunter Biden, you're probably
15:23
Speaker 1: out there going to party your ables off because you're
15:26
Speaker 1: so excited at what you just got away with. You
15:29
Speaker 1: just got away with all of these crimes, and you're
15:32
Speaker 1: not spending a single day in jail.
15:37
Speaker 3: Now.
15:37
Speaker 1: The media also understands something else. They understand very clearly
15:42
Speaker 1: now that one of the things they have to do
15:44
Speaker 1: is move away from Hunter Biden and go on to
15:47
Speaker 1: the obsession with Donald Trump. Let me give you an
15:50
Speaker 1: example of this. A guy who doesn't do interviews, Barack Obama.
15:56
Speaker 1: He came out to do a big exclusive interview with
15:59
Speaker 1: CNN and guess what they asked him about. They asked
16:04
Speaker 1: him about Donald Trump. And they asked him and he
16:07
Speaker 1: knew this in advance that if Donald Trump is indicted
16:10
Speaker 1: and he's still able to run for president somehow implying
16:13
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be able to run, what does he say, Oh,
16:16
Speaker 1: it's less than ideal because this has all been fixed.
16:20
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's been indicted. It's a fair justice system. Now
16:23
Speaker 1: we got to destroy Donald Trump and finish him off.
16:27
Speaker 7: Our existing democratic institutions are creaky and we're going to
16:31
Speaker 7: have to reform him.
16:32
Speaker 8: So let's ask about the creaky or not institutions in
16:36
Speaker 8: the United States. The spectacle of a former president being
16:40
Speaker 8: a federally indicted how is the rest of the world,
16:44
Speaker 8: the democratic world, maybe even the non democratic world, meant
16:47
Speaker 8: to interpret that indictment. And indeed, the fact that a
16:50
Speaker 8: federal indite is running is able to run for the
16:53
Speaker 8: highest office in the land, maybe even the world.
16:58
Speaker 3: It's less than ideal, but the fact that.
17:05
Speaker 7: We have a former president who is having to answer
17:11
Speaker 7: to charges brought by prosecutors does uphold the basic notion
17:16
Speaker 7: that nobody's above the law, and the allegations will now
17:20
Speaker 7: be sorted out through a court process. And I think
17:29
Speaker 7: I'm more concerned when it.
17:30
Speaker 3: Comes to the United States with the fact that.
17:33
Speaker 7: Not just one particular individual is, you know, being accused
17:39
Speaker 7: of undermining existing laws, but that more broadly we've seen,
17:46
Speaker 7: whether it's through the gerrymandering of districts, whether it's you know,
17:52
Speaker 7: trying to silence critics through changes in legislative process, whether
17:59
Speaker 7: it's attempts to intimidate the press, a strand of anti
18:08
Speaker 7: democratic sentiment that you know, we've.
18:11
Speaker 3: Seen in the United States.
18:15
Speaker 7: It's something that is right now most prominent in the
18:18
Speaker 7: Republican Party. But I don't think it's something that is
18:25
Speaker 7: unique to one party. I think there is a less
18:30
Speaker 7: tolerance for ideas that don't suit us, and it's sort
18:36
Speaker 7: of the habits of a free and open exchange of
18:38
Speaker 7: ideas in the idea that you know, we all agree
18:43
Speaker 7: to the rules of the game and even if the
18:45
Speaker 7: outcomes aren't always the ones we like, we still abide
18:48
Speaker 7: by those rules. I think that's weakened since I left office,
18:52
Speaker 7: and we're going to need to strengthen them again.
18:54
Speaker 1: Again. This is the same guy that was briefed by
18:59
Speaker 1: the FBI that Hillary Clinton was going to make up
19:02
Speaker 1: a lie to tie Donald Trump to Russia. This is
19:05
Speaker 1: the same guy that allowed for the Trump campaign to
19:10
Speaker 1: be spied on and knew it. This is the same
19:14
Speaker 1: guy that allowed for the people at the FBI to
19:18
Speaker 1: start going after Trump before he'd even taken office. This
19:22
Speaker 1: the same guy that didn't tell Donald Trump about what
19:25
Speaker 1: was going on when he became president of the United
19:28
Speaker 1: States of America. And now he says that we need
19:32
Speaker 1: more transparency. He also says, of course, quote the fact
19:36
Speaker 1: we have a former president who's having an answer to
19:38
Speaker 1: charges brought by prosecutors does uphold the basic notion that
19:42
Speaker 1: nobody is above the law. So again he's advocating and
19:45
Speaker 1: supporting this, Well, it's above the law, so everything should
19:48
Speaker 1: be fine. You notice how all of this is being
19:51
Speaker 1: pre planned. The interview that I just played for you,
19:54
Speaker 1: by the way, this is how pre planned it is.
19:56
Speaker 1: It was actually done in Athens, Greece. They needed him
20:00
Speaker 1: to come out so bad to frame this thing and
20:03
Speaker 1: make it look normal that they were willing to go
20:05
Speaker 1: to Athens, Greece to get the interview, to get this done,
20:10
Speaker 1: so that we could be in a conversation just like
20:14
Speaker 1: we're having right now. Okay, we've moved on from the
20:17
Speaker 1: other stuff. Right, we've moved past the other stuff. We've
20:21
Speaker 1: moved into a new area. We've decided to move forward.
20:26
Speaker 1: We've decided to really focus now since we have wrapped
20:31
Speaker 1: up the obsession the investigation into Hunter Biden and the
20:40
Speaker 1: president where there's nothing there, but there is something there
20:43
Speaker 1: when it comes to Donald Trump, and we're going to
20:46
Speaker 1: bury him. And they're using media and an orchestraate effort
20:50
Speaker 1: the same way they did in sixteen and seventeen, eighteen,
20:53
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty to try to be down Donald Trump. Right now,

Speaker 1: goldr A. Joe Scarborough has now said that Republicans are
22:28
Speaker 1: insurrectionists and this is our new insult. You're ready for
22:31
Speaker 1: this weirdohs. And if that's not enough, freaks for investigating
22:36
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden because he says you can't find a crime.
22:42
Speaker 9: Both Trumpers Biden, Garland stayed away from them.
22:47
Speaker 3: Let them do their job.
22:48
Speaker 9: Tim Scott's out there promising elect me, I will weaponize
22:52
Speaker 9: the Justice Department. Donald Trump says elect me, I will
22:56
Speaker 9: weaponize the Justice Department. There is such a contrast. I
23:00
Speaker 9: do though, again, I do want to go back to
23:02
Speaker 9: Hunter Biden, though, because what we always hear from these
23:05
Speaker 9: insurrectionists and these weirdos and these freaks is that there.
23:10
Speaker 3: Are crimes out there.
23:11
Speaker 9: They can never name a crime, and then they say
23:13
Speaker 9: the media is covering up, the deep state is covering
23:16
Speaker 9: it up. You go covering up what I can show
23:19
Speaker 9: you New Yorker articles from twenty nineteen that laid bare
23:23
Speaker 9: not just what Hunter Biden did, but what Biden's family
23:27
Speaker 9: has done through the years, not illegal, perhaps unethical, and
23:32
Speaker 9: the concern around Biden since twenty thirteen that his son
23:36
Speaker 9: was embarrassing him. This has been reported on by the
23:39
Speaker 9: New Yorker, in long I don't know, ten thousand in
23:43
Speaker 9: the New York Times, in the Washington Post. Unlike right
23:47
Speaker 9: wing pro Trump media outlets, this has been laid bear.
23:52
Speaker 9: And yet because Republicans can't find a crime, they going
23:56
Speaker 9: after the deep state, They're going after the dominant media,
24:00
Speaker 9: They're going after everybody that's victimizing and triggering these poor
24:04
Speaker 9: snowflakes because they can't find a crime.
24:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can't find a crime.
24:08
Speaker 5: And as you say, you mentioned the James Toma line
24:10
Speaker 5: and the Republican line.
24:11
Speaker 1: That's just stop there because they can't find a crime. Okay,
24:15
Speaker 1: clearly Joe Scarborough has gotten dumber than I expected at MSNBC.
24:22
Speaker 1: And I understand also he's just wanting to make sure
24:25
Speaker 1: that his ratings stay up. He's talking to a bunch
24:28
Speaker 1: of freaks, a bunch of weirdos, a bunch of insurrectionists,
24:33
Speaker 1: a bunch of people that try to overthrow the will
24:36
Speaker 1: of the people with lies about Donald Trump.
24:38
Speaker 3: Right.
24:38
Speaker 1: I use all his words just to keep it entertaining.
24:43
Speaker 1: What Joe Scarborough just said there. He even knows, I
24:47
Speaker 1: think is a lie because we've been able to name
24:51
Speaker 1: the crimes. He's like they can't even name the car. Okay,
24:54
Speaker 1: let's go through what we know. We know that Hunter
24:57
Speaker 1: Biden was on Air Force two when to Chin. I
25:00
Speaker 1: know I've met with Chinese commists, party, met with top
25:02
Speaker 1: Intel officials, bought into a company somehow didn't have to
25:05
Speaker 1: give cash to buy into that company, and then we
25:07
Speaker 1: started to get millions of dollars in fees from that company.
25:13
Speaker 1: We know that some of the people he's working with
25:14
Speaker 1: her in prison or have disappeared, never heard from again.
25:18
Speaker 1: We know that a billion dollars and loans came into
25:20
Speaker 1: the Biden crime family. We know that the FBI has
25:25
Speaker 1: now has documents and whistleblowers who have come to them
25:29
Speaker 1: saying that they also got a five million dollar bribe
25:32
Speaker 1: each ten million total from this Ukrainian company, Barisma, to
25:40
Speaker 1: help them get fired the prosecutor that was investigating the company.
25:46
Speaker 1: We know that the Rossian oligarch direct ties to Vladimir
25:49
Speaker 1: put at the highest level, the former mayor Moscow somehow
25:52
Speaker 1: was able to do business with the Biden crime family
25:54
Speaker 1: for millions of dollars in payments. They have not been sanctioned,
25:59
Speaker 1: while all these other arks have been sanctioned recently, with
26:02
Speaker 1: the invasion of Ukraine. We know that Hunter Biden was
26:06
Speaker 1: involved and influenced pedaling, drug trafficking, sex trafficking. We've seen
26:12
Speaker 1: this from his emails. We know that he was representing
26:15
Speaker 1: his father as the big guy, basically funneling the money.
26:18
Speaker 1: We know there's one hundred plus suspicious activity reports coming
26:22
Speaker 1: in from shady business people around the world, oligarchs, communists,
26:27
Speaker 1: socialists into their bank accounts. We know there were shell
26:31
Speaker 1: companies set up, so many of them that and even
26:35
Speaker 1: in one of the FBI informants documents with the FBI,
26:39
Speaker 1: they said it would take ten years to unwinde all
26:42
Speaker 1: of the LLCs the money was coming in from. But
26:46
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough says the Republicans are the weirdos, the insurrections
26:50
Speaker 1: to freaks for investigating Hunter Biden, can't find a crime.
26:53
Speaker 1: He also said this, by the way, he said this
26:58
Speaker 1: after Iden had already admitted that he had committed crimes
27:03
Speaker 1: in this plea agreement. Doesn't even mention the crimes he
27:10
Speaker 1: said he committed, the gun crimes, the drug crimes, the
27:15
Speaker 1: tax crimes. None of that's there. None of that has
27:21
Speaker 1: been said from anybody here Hunter Biden. It's a clear
27:28
Speaker 1: simple issue of cronyism. Ted Cruz, you heard on this
27:32
Speaker 1: show earlier, said this on Fine News last night.
27:36
Speaker 6: Listen, of course not look. Today is a really sad
27:40
Speaker 6: day for the rule of.
27:41
Speaker 10: Law, and every American who cares about justice ought to
27:45
Speaker 10: be outraged. What happened today is three things at once.
27:49
Speaker 10: Number one, it is cronyism. Number two it is camouflage,
27:53
Speaker 10: and number three it's corruption.
27:55
Speaker 6: Let's start with cronyism.
27:56
Speaker 10: This does not happen if Hunter's last name is anthing
28:00
Speaker 10: other than Biden. If he's Hunter Smith, he's doing hard time.
28:03
Speaker 10: It is only because Daddy is president that he gets
28:07
Speaker 10: this sweetheart deal with no jail time whatsoever.
28:10
Speaker 6: But number two, it's camouflage. Listen.
28:13
Speaker 10: I predicted months ago that what happened today is exactly
28:16
Speaker 10: what would happen. I do every week a podcast Verdict
28:19
Speaker 10: with Ted Cruz, three days a week, and what I
28:21
Speaker 10: said on Verdict is I said, Merrick Garland is going
28:26
Speaker 10: to indent indict Hunter Biden because he wants to be
28:29
Speaker 10: able to say, Look.
28:30
Speaker 6: How even handed I am.
28:32
Speaker 10: I indicted a Biden, I indicted a Trump, and I
28:35
Speaker 10: said there's going to be a tell for whether they
28:37
Speaker 10: actually care about enforcing the law. If they go after
28:41
Speaker 10: some TICKI tax offense or gun crime and they make
28:45
Speaker 10: it all personal and they isolate it just to Hunter Biden,
28:50
Speaker 10: then you know this is just about the Biden Department
28:54
Speaker 10: of Justice pretending to be even handed. But the third
28:56
Speaker 10: thing it is, and the most troubling thing it is.
28:58
Speaker 6: Is corruption.
28:59
Speaker 10: Because the purpose of this indictment is what you just
29:02
Speaker 10: played a minute ago. It's for the media to say
29:04
Speaker 10: it's all over. Don't look into the big guy. And
29:08
Speaker 10: the reason this is on the news right now, the
29:09
Speaker 10: reason we're talking about this it is not that Hunter
29:13
Speaker 10: Biden has some troubled soul with substance abuse issues. It
29:16
Speaker 10: is that he sold access to his father who was
29:21
Speaker 10: vice President of the United States, who was president of
29:23
Speaker 10: the United States. And the evidence of corruption of Joe
29:27
Speaker 10: Biden personally making millions of dollars is growing and growing
29:31
Speaker 10: and growing, and the Biden Justice Department is doing everything
29:34
Speaker 10: they can to cover up and stonewall and hive.
29:39
Speaker 1: He's right, and there's a great list that he just
29:42
Speaker 1: said there, just like the list I was talking about.
29:45
Speaker 1: Yet Democrats go on TV and they say, hey, and
29:48
Speaker 1: this is part of the rehab right, you don't need
29:50
Speaker 1: to be thinking about Joe Biden. You don't need to
29:52
Speaker 1: thinking about crimes a Hunter Biden committee because there are
29:55
Speaker 1: no crimes. You Republicans are insurrection us, your weirdos, your
29:58
Speaker 1: freaks for investigating. Can't find a crime. They said that
30:02
Speaker 1: on MSNBC after Hunter Biden had already pled done plea
30:07
Speaker 1: deal saying he's guilty to committing crimes. And then they
30:11
Speaker 1: say you can't find the crimes. Well, then if you
30:13
Speaker 1: can't find the crimes, why are you pleading guilty? I
30:18
Speaker 1: gotta say something else. That just goes back to what
30:22
Speaker 1: Scarborough and the media is saying. Right, there's no crimes there.
30:25
Speaker 1: They can't find crimes with Hunter Biden. They can't find
30:28
Speaker 1: crimes with Joe Biden. So you need to understand that
30:30
Speaker 1: you just can't. Right, you can't find crimes, nothing's there.
30:35
Speaker 1: These are the same dummays that want you to believe
30:39
Speaker 1: that the Pentagon giving an extra six point two billion
30:44
Speaker 1: in aid lethal aid to Ukraine was somehow an accounting error.
30:51
Speaker 1: Now that's your tax dollars. Okay, six point two billion
30:54
Speaker 1: dollars just accidentally went to Ukraine, and oh it was
31:00
Speaker 1: an accounting air Number one, it wasn't an accounting era. Okay,
31:03
Speaker 1: you don't accidentally send six point two billion dollars to anyone,
31:08
Speaker 1: all right, let's just start with that. Second of all,
31:12
Speaker 1: they obviously did it on purpose. They wanted to send
31:15
Speaker 1: more money. They didn't have the ability or the right
31:18
Speaker 1: to send more money without going through Congress, and they
31:21
Speaker 1: wanted to get the cash there, and so they decided
31:24
Speaker 1: to just send the cash and deal with it afterwards
31:27
Speaker 1: and call it an accounting error. And they believe that
31:29
Speaker 1: you're dumb enough to say okay, or to not be outraged.
31:34
Speaker 1: I mean six point two billion dollar accounting air. The
31:41
Speaker 1: Pentagon reported this week. Did it overestimated the value of
31:44
Speaker 1: the weapons it's applied to Ukraine by whopping six point
31:47
Speaker 1: two billion in lethal aid over the last two years. Now,
31:53
Speaker 1: this comes just four weeks after the Pentagon initially admitted
31:56
Speaker 1: to an accounting area of accounting error of at least
32:00
Speaker 1: three billion. Because a lot of you may remember we
32:01
Speaker 1: covered that story. So the three billion accounting error has
32:06
Speaker 1: now just turned into a six point two billion dollar
32:11
Speaker 1: accounting error. Oops are bad, as Reuters put it, Pentagon
32:18
Speaker 1: Ukraine accounting area revised up to six point two billion.
32:22
Speaker 1: The Pentagon founded an overestimated the amount of funding for ammunition,
32:26
Speaker 1: the lethal eight as I mentioned, missiles, and other military
32:30
Speaker 1: equipment sent to Ukraine by a smeazily six point two
32:34
Speaker 1: billion due to an accounting error that's more than double
32:39
Speaker 1: the amount previously disclosed. The value of the accounting error
32:43
Speaker 1: was revised up from three billion that was first reported
32:46
Speaker 1: by Reuters in May, the result of assigning a higher
32:50
Speaker 1: than warranted value on US weaponry ship to Ukraine. Additional
32:55
Speaker 1: funding was also uncovered as Pentagon officials reach search the
33:00
Speaker 1: situation more thoroughly and clarified protocols for valuing equipment based
33:05
Speaker 1: on financial management regulations. Just where they make it sound
33:08
Speaker 1: like you know, Walkie and it's really tough and Department
33:12
Speaker 1: of Defense policy is how the Pentagon press secretary explained
33:18
Speaker 1: it away. Six point two billion breaks down to three
33:22
Speaker 1: point six billion for the fiscal year twenty twenty three
33:25
Speaker 1: and two point six billion for the physical year twenty
33:27
Speaker 1: twenty two. The fiscal year twenty twenty two, I should
33:29
Speaker 1: say adding the pierras did not impact the size of
33:32
Speaker 1: the presidential drawdown authority or support for you, Crank, So
33:39
Speaker 1: we lied to you about the lead delayed. We were
33:41
Speaker 1: sending because we wanted to do what we wanted to do,
33:44
Speaker 1: and we didn't care about what the law says. And
33:47
Speaker 1: we're going to do it without going through Congress. And
33:50
Speaker 1: then we'll just revise the number. So you give us
33:54
Speaker 1: a dollar, we take six point two billion. You give
33:56
Speaker 1: us a million, we'll do it again. We'll send whatever
33:59
Speaker 1: the hell we want to do because we don't have
34:01
Speaker 1: to listen or play by the rules. And then what
34:05
Speaker 1: will the media do? They won't cover it. Did you
34:08
Speaker 1: hear anything about this story? Of course not. You didn't
34:11
Speaker 1: hear anything about it. Now, James Comer, I want to
34:15
Speaker 1: go back to the Biden family for a moment. James
34:18
Speaker 1: Comer has now come out and said that his sources
34:23
Speaker 1: are telling the agencies that they were asked to actually
34:26
Speaker 1: stand down on the Hunter Biden cases plural. They knew
34:30
Speaker 1: they had the media and the media would get their backs,
34:34
Speaker 1: is what he said. I'm going to play that for
34:37
Speaker 1: you coming up in a moment. I also want to
34:39
Speaker 1: get your phone calls five three five ninety seven three
34:42
Speaker 1: two five three five nine seven three two eight hundred
34:45
Speaker 1: number one eight hundred four seven four nine seven three
34:49
Speaker 1: two get some of your reaction to all of this
34:52
Speaker 1: as well. Also, Hunter, Biden plea deal is a deal
34:56
Speaker 1: now that even more African Americans are getting angry about,
35:00
Speaker 1: and prominent lawyers are starting to come out saying they
35:02
Speaker 1: could have never gotten this deal for their clients who
35:05
Speaker 1: are African American who are doing hard time in prison.
35:11
Speaker 1: Why are they doing hard time in prison because there's
35:14
Speaker 1: a two tier justice system. If your last name is Biden,
35:18
Speaker 1: you can do whatever the hell you want. You can
35:21
Speaker 1: do whatever the hell you want if your last name
35:24
Speaker 1: is Biden. Don't forget. Share this podcast with your family
35:28
Speaker 1: and friends wherever you get your podcasts, and I'll see
35:32
Speaker 1: you back here tomorrow
