Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / White House LIED About Hunter's "Art", plus China had Genetic Map of Covid BEFORE the Pandemic
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome.
- 0:01Speaker 2: It is Verdict with center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson. With you, Senator,
- 0:05Speaker 2: we have got China, China and Hunter Biden and China
- 0:08Speaker 2: all in one podcast today. Let's start first with Hunter
- 0:12Speaker 2: Biden and the art sales. We were told that this
- 0:17Speaker 2: was going to be the most transparent government and history
- 0:21Speaker 2: from the Biden team. We were also told that they
- 0:24Speaker 2: were going to not know who the buyers of the
- 0:26Speaker 2: art were, and that was part of the separation between
- 0:29Speaker 2: the two worlds, so that no one could buy influence.
- 0:32Speaker 2: The liberal hardcore left Washington Post is now reporting that
- 0:37Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's paintings have sold for a total of at
- 0:39Speaker 2: least one point five million, And we're also being told
- 0:43Speaker 2: that he knows the mass majority of those people that
- 0:47Speaker 2: were purchasing art from him, including his sugar daddy, who's
- 0:51Speaker 2: also bought some of this art, the same guy that
- 0:53Speaker 2: has his ten percent stake in a Chinese energy company.
- 0:56Speaker 2: It's a lot to unpack. Give me your overthoughts on this.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Well, look, they were right that they said it would
- 1:02Speaker 3: be the most transparent in history, and it's the most
- 1:05Speaker 3: transparent lie. It's the most transparent fraud, it's the most
- 1:10Speaker 3: transparent money laundering scheme in history. So they were right.
- 1:14Speaker 3: They just admitted a few words. Look, this is the
- 1:17Speaker 3: Washington Post reporting. You know it's bad when the Post
- 1:19Speaker 3: is forced to report. The Washington Post tells us that
- 1:23Speaker 3: in total, there have been ten buyers of the art,
- 1:26Speaker 3: and collectively they have paid one point five million dollars.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Only three of the buyers have been identified, so there's
- 1:33Speaker 3: seven mystery buyers. We don't know who they are. But
- 1:37Speaker 3: of the three buyers that have been identified, the largest
- 1:40Speaker 3: one goes to Kevin Morris. Kevin Morris is the lawyer
- 1:43Speaker 3: out in California who, as you said, is basically Hunter's
- 1:46Speaker 3: sugar daddy. Kevin Morris purchased eleven paintings for a total
- 1:53Speaker 3: of eight hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Eleven paintings
- 2:00Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Now, mind you,
- 2:02Speaker 3: this is the same Kevin Morris who purchased a ten
- 2:05Speaker 3: percent stake in the Chinese firm Hunter was working with.
- 2:09Speaker 3: This is the same Kevin Morris who has allegedly lent
- 2:14Speaker 3: and remember we did when we did the multi episode
- 2:18Speaker 3: interview with James Comer, he explained how loans were the
- 2:22Speaker 3: newest form of money laundering that they were trying to
- 2:24Speaker 3: get around the tax laws and just conveniently have loans
- 2:27Speaker 3: that are never repaid. Well, this Kevin Morris has quote
- 2:30Speaker 3: loaned Hunter Biden roughly five million dollars. In fact, it
- 2:35Speaker 3: was Kevin Morris's money that paid off what Hunter Biden
- 2:38Speaker 3: owed to the IRS. So this Kevin Morris is writing
- 2:42Speaker 3: a lot of checks to Hunter. But it's not just
- 2:44Speaker 3: Kevin Morris. We also know of another person, a Democratic donor,
- 2:49Speaker 3: Elizabeth Knaftali, who purchased two pieces of art, one for
- 2:55Speaker 3: fifty two thousand dollars and another for forty two thousand dollars.
- 3:00Speaker 3: So she's up at ninety four thousand dollars that has
- 3:02Speaker 3: gone to Hunt. And it's worth noting that President Biden
- 3:06Speaker 3: appointed her in twenty twenty two to the US Commission
- 3:11Speaker 3: for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. This is naked,
- 3:15Speaker 3: this is brazen, This is obvious.
- 3:18Speaker 2: It's not only obvious, but there have been major warnings
- 3:21Speaker 2: from our government about using art for money laundering purposes.
- 3:26Speaker 1: And this was a clear decision.
- 3:29Speaker 2: By the Biden team or Hunter Biden directly to figure
- 3:33Speaker 2: out ways to still make money while there was so
- 3:36Speaker 2: much scrutiny on his other business dealings. We were also
- 3:38Speaker 2: told that he had divested all of his investments in China.
- 3:41Speaker 2: That wasn't true. In fact, we played a montage on
- 3:44Speaker 2: the show Center not that long ago of all the
- 3:46Speaker 2: times that Joe Biden lied to the American people saying they'd
- 3:48Speaker 2: never made a dollar a dime from China.
- 3:50Speaker 1: That was also a lie here.
- 3:53Speaker 2: And so now it seems that not only did they
- 3:55Speaker 2: know that money laundering could come through art sales, but
- 3:59Speaker 2: they definitely needed to know who was buying their art,
- 4:01Speaker 2: so they knew who.
- 4:02Speaker 1: To take care of.
- 4:04Speaker 2: One of those examples, and this came out when we
- 4:06Speaker 2: had the first hostages that were released in Gaza. The
- 4:10Speaker 2: first American release had direct ties to Hunter Biden and
- 4:14Speaker 2: the president United States of America had received an appointment
- 4:17Speaker 2: from the President, and not only that had also bought
- 4:21Speaker 2: artwork from Hunter Biden.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Well, and it's worth noting that this is exactly the
- 4:27Speaker 3: opposite of what the Biden White House told the American people. So,
- 4:31Speaker 3: for example, in twenty twenty one, here's what CNN reported,
- 4:35Speaker 3: quote two sources familiar with the sales arrangement told CNN
- 4:39Speaker 3: that the purchaser of the art work will be kept anonymous,
- 4:44Speaker 3: and neither Hunter, Biden nor the public will have knowledge
- 4:47Speaker 3: of who bids on or purchase the work. If there
- 4:51Speaker 3: is any unusual behavior, such as the offer price being
- 4:55Speaker 3: too high or the collector doesn't appear interested in the work,
- 5:00Speaker 3: the gallery is expected to turn down the offer. The
- 5:04Speaker 3: sources said. Now that was just a brazen line. Even
- 5:08Speaker 3: the Biden White House, I assume, is not going to
- 5:10Speaker 3: maintain that Hunter didn't know about his buddy Kevin buying
- 5:14Speaker 3: eleven paintings. I don't know if he's setting it up
- 5:17Speaker 3: as like his wallpaper is nothing but Hunter Biden paintings
- 5:20Speaker 3: and spending eight hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. They
- 5:25Speaker 3: claimed it was anonymous. It's obviously not anonymous. And look,
- 5:29Speaker 3: if these were ordinary art sales, why does it just
- 5:32Speaker 3: happen to be that they are Democrat funders and Democrat
- 5:36Speaker 3: funders who are in turn getting rewarded with appointments from
- 5:40Speaker 3: the President of the United States.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I also want to talk about another aspect of Kevin Morris.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Kevin Morris has obviously opened up his bank account to
- 5:49Speaker 2: Hunter Biden. He claims it's a loan. At some point,
- 5:52Speaker 2: you're supposed to pay back a loan, unless it's student loans,
- 5:55Speaker 2: and apparently Joe Biden and the Biden team doesn't think
- 5:58Speaker 2: you ever have to actually pay those back. But Kevin
- 6:00Speaker 2: Morris has now confirmed that he owns keyword owns Hunter
- 6:06Speaker 2: Biden's ten percent steak in a Chinese state back investment fund.
- 6:12Speaker 2: This was verified by House Investigators last week that he
- 6:16Speaker 2: purchased Hunters ten percent stake in the Chinese state backed
- 6:19Speaker 2: investment fund BHR Partners confirming this now for the first time,
- 6:25Speaker 2: and then Morris's ownership of the steak is raising major
- 6:28Speaker 2: questions about his intent for the acquisition and also the
- 6:32Speaker 2: money that he's giving to Hunter Biden. Is it really
- 6:35Speaker 2: a own or is he just funneling those profits or
- 6:37Speaker 2: part of that ten percent of a payoff here for
- 6:41Speaker 2: that stake in that Chinese company.
- 6:43Speaker 1: This stinks to high heaven.
- 6:46Speaker 3: And by the way, Kevin Morris has not disclosed Hunter
- 6:49Speaker 3: Biden is not disclosed how much Kevin Morris paid Hunter
- 6:53Speaker 3: Biden for ten percent in the Chinese State back and
- 6:56Speaker 3: Investment fund. Another events investment fund is called b EHR Partners,
- 7:02Speaker 3: and we now know that Morris purchased Hunter Steak. Hunter
- 7:06Speaker 3: had ten percent because Hunter needed to get rid of
- 7:09Speaker 3: it once Joe Biden became president. BHR Partners is an
- 7:15Speaker 3: entity that is controlled by the Bank of China and
- 7:19Speaker 3: it has about three billion dollars currently invested around the world.
- 7:24Speaker 3: That's according to BHR Partner's own website. Now, Morris has
- 7:29Speaker 3: claimed that he purchased the company because it was quote
- 7:32Speaker 3: a good business investment. But of course we don't know
- 7:36Speaker 3: how much he paid. And Morris performed the due diligence
- 7:42Speaker 3: on the entity holding the ten percent stake in BHR Partners.
- 7:46Speaker 3: That entity is named scan Italy's LLC. I don't know
- 7:51Speaker 3: what scan Italy means, but that apparently is what the
- 7:54Speaker 3: name of it was. And he said he knew the
- 7:58Speaker 3: price that Hunter paid initially for the stake, and he said,
- 8:01Speaker 3: quote I saw and I still see upside. Well, you
- 8:05Speaker 3: know what it can be very lucrative funding funneling millions
- 8:09Speaker 3: of dollars to the Biden family. There's an entire enterprise
- 8:12Speaker 3: they have. And how is it possible that no one
- 8:17Speaker 3: has disclosed how much he paid The Bank of China,
- 8:20Speaker 3: which is a state owned bank controls BHR partners. The
- 8:24Speaker 3: fund claims that it maintains twenty two billion Chinese yawn
- 8:30Speaker 3: in various portfolio companies, which is more than three billion dollars.
- 8:34Speaker 3: It reports investments in companies like dd Chuck Sing, a
- 8:38Speaker 3: Chinese technology group, Cattle, a lithium ion manufacturer, meg v
- 8:45Speaker 3: a deep learning software developer, and in Silico Medicine, a
- 8:49Speaker 3: biotechnology company. This stinks to high heaven. And you have
- 8:56Speaker 3: to ask all of the so called reporters who reported
- 9:01Speaker 3: on the lies from the White House. Hunter won't know
- 9:03Speaker 3: who's buying the art hunter, won't know who's funneling in
- 9:05Speaker 3: the cash hunter, this will be entirely anonymous. How many
- 9:09Speaker 3: of those reporters are apologizing. How many of those reporters
- 9:12Speaker 3: are going back and correcting their stories. How many of
- 9:14Speaker 3: those reporters are standing up at the White House press
- 9:16Speaker 3: conference and saying, why did you lie to us? Why
- 9:19Speaker 3: did you entice us into lying to the American people?
- 9:25Speaker 3: And I think very few of the reporters are doing
- 9:27Speaker 3: so because they knew they were lying when they said it.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Nobody with their head not inserted somewhere where it's really dark,
- 9:35Speaker 3: bought it for a moment, and it's because this was
- 9:38Speaker 3: obviously going to be the outcome.
- 9:40Speaker 2: For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian
- 9:44Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider. And let me just tell you, in
- 9:47Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, if you're like me, you had a
- 9:50Speaker 2: new Year's resolution. Mine was I'm going to stop giving
- 9:52Speaker 2: my money to companies that literally hate my values and
- 9:55Speaker 2: hate what I stand for. That is why when I
- 9:58Speaker 2: look at my cell phone now in the top left
- 9:59Speaker 2: it Patriot Yes, Patriot Mobile is an incredible company that
- 10:04Speaker 2: gives you nationwide dependable coverage, giving you the same ability
- 10:10Speaker 2: to access all three major networks that your phone is
- 10:13Speaker 2: using right now, which means you get the same coverage
- 10:15Speaker 2: that you're accustomed to. But most importantly, without funding the left.
- 10:19Speaker 2: You may not realize that Big Mobile gives big donations
- 10:23Speaker 2: to causes and organizations that go completely against your conservative values.
- 10:27Speaker 2: We're talking about giving big donations to democratic causes, candidates,
- 10:31Speaker 2: and plan parenthood. Well, if you're tired of giving your
- 10:34Speaker 2: money to people that hate your values, switch with me
- 10:37Speaker 2: to Patriot Mobile. You're not only sending a message that
- 10:40Speaker 2: you support free speech, but when you pay your bill
- 10:43Speaker 2: every month, five percent of that bill goes back to
- 10:45Speaker 2: support conservative causes, supportings free speech, supporting religious freedom, supporting
- 10:51Speaker 2: the sanctity of life, supporting your Second Amendment rights as
- 10:54Speaker 2: well as our military, our veterans, and our first responders.
- 10:58Speaker 2: How easy is it to switch? One hundred percent US
- 11:01Speaker 2: based customer service team? And it makes switching easy. You
- 11:04Speaker 2: can keep your number you have right now, keep your
- 11:06Speaker 2: phone or upgrade. All you have to do is go
- 11:09Speaker 2: to Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict that's Patriot Mobile dot
- 11:15Speaker 2: com slash verdict or call them nine to seven to
- 11:19Speaker 2: two Patriot. That's nine to seven two Patriot get free activation.
- 11:23Speaker 2: We use the offer code verdict. Join me today, Make
- 11:26Speaker 2: the switch Patriot mobile dot com slash verdict or nine
- 11:30Speaker 2: to seven two Patriot sendtor. One other question, I want
- 11:33Speaker 2: to ask you about Kevin Morris here and what we've
- 11:36Speaker 2: found out. His ownership obviously raises serious questions about his
- 11:41Speaker 2: intent for this acquisition. Did he have the bidens in
- 11:44Speaker 2: a bad situation to be able to grab this ten
- 11:46Speaker 2: percent stake because clearly it's worth a lot of money.
- 11:49Speaker 2: And then when he says I'm letting giving and letting
- 11:52Speaker 2: people borrow money from me, but no one's paying it back.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Yet that also could turn into a bigger part of
- 11:58Speaker 2: this investigation on the House side, correct.
- 12:02Speaker 1: It could?
- 12:03Speaker 3: I mean, we know that that Hunter in twenty nineteen
- 12:07Speaker 3: paid or that Morris in twenty nineteen paid Hunter's irs
- 12:11Speaker 3: date debts and reportedly lent him four point nine million
- 12:17Speaker 3: dollars for housing, for car, payments for legal fees, and
- 12:22Speaker 3: repayment of the debt you know when it's due after
- 12:25Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four election. Conveniently, oh, just just never mind,
- 12:29Speaker 3: not until after election day and then miraculously, you know,
- 12:32Speaker 3: you may have just lost the bill. Well, maybe I'll just, like,
- 12:35Speaker 3: you know, paint something on a postcard and give it
- 12:37Speaker 3: to you, and maybe that'll pay off the debt.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Centata.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I also want to move to this other important story
- 12:42Speaker 2: that also deals with China, and that is Chinese lab
- 12:47Speaker 2: mapped the deadly coronavirus two weeks before Beijing told the world.
- 12:52Speaker 2: New documents are showing from the Wall Street Journal. They
- 12:55Speaker 2: say Chinese researchers isolated and mapped the virus that caused
- 13:00Speaker 2: COVID nineteen in late December twenty nineteen. That's at least
- 13:04Speaker 2: two weeks before Beijing revealed details the deadly virus to
- 13:08Speaker 2: the world.
- 13:08Speaker 1: What does it mean.
- 13:09Speaker 2: It means they knew about it, Congressional investigators have said.
- 13:13Speaker 2: So this raises serious questions about what China knew in
- 13:16Speaker 2: the pandemic's crucial early days. These documents, that were obtained
- 13:21Speaker 2: from the US Department of Health and Human Services by
- 13:24Speaker 2: a House committee and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal,
- 13:27Speaker 2: showed that the a Chinese researcher in Beijing also uploaded
- 13:31Speaker 2: a nearly complete sequence of the virus's structure, most importantly,
- 13:37Speaker 2: to a US government run database on December the twenty
- 13:42Speaker 2: eighth of twenty nineteen.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Wow.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Well, and at that time, on December twenty eight, twenty nineteen,
- 13:51Speaker 3: Chinese officials were publicly describing the disease outbreak in Wuhan
- 13:56Speaker 3: as a viral pneumonia quote of unknown cause. And so
- 14:02Speaker 3: they're pretending they don't know what this is. And yet
- 14:04Speaker 3: they had an almost complete genetic map of it before
- 14:08Speaker 3: it had spread out of Wuhan, before it had spread
- 14:10Speaker 3: across the world, before it had become a global pandemic.
- 14:15Speaker 3: And look, this underscores the point that we have discussed
- 14:20Speaker 3: at length. I think the evidence is overwhelming and it
- 14:24Speaker 3: has just become even more overwhelming that this virus escaped
- 14:28Speaker 3: from a Chinese government lab in Wuhan, China. I think
- 14:34Speaker 3: the evidence is significant. It's not necessarily irrefutable, but it
- 14:39Speaker 3: is significant. It is more likely than not that this
- 14:42Speaker 3: virus was created in that Chinese government lab, that they
- 14:46Speaker 3: took naturally occurring viruses and they altered them using gain
- 14:50Speaker 3: of function research to make them more transmissible, to make
- 14:53Speaker 3: them more deadly for humans, and that the virus they
- 14:56Speaker 3: created in the lab is the one that escaped. That
- 14:59Speaker 3: would certainly explain why they had a genetic map to it,
- 15:02Speaker 3: because they had designed it and designed it to be deadly.
- 15:07Speaker 1: It is worth.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Remembering that when the COVID pandemic began, the federal government,
- 15:15Speaker 3: with doctor Fauci at the point, insisted that it was
- 15:19Speaker 3: a wild conspiracy theory to say that COVID came from
- 15:23Speaker 3: a Chinese government lab, and the corporate media, like Docile
- 15:28Speaker 3: Braying Sheep, echoed the same thing. We know that doctor
- 15:32Speaker 3: Fauci directly communicated with Mark Zuckerberg and asked Mark Zuckerberg
- 15:38Speaker 3: to have Facebook suppress anyone making the argument that COVID
- 15:44Speaker 3: came from a Chinese government lab. Now the Verdict podcast.
- 15:49Speaker 3: We did multiple podcasts in March and April of twenty twenty,
- 15:55Speaker 3: right when this virus was spreading, laying out the evidence
- 15:59Speaker 3: then that COVID came from a Chinese government lab. Verdict
- 16:05Speaker 3: was one of the very few places you could get
- 16:08Speaker 3: that information. You couldn't get it on most of social media.
- 16:12Speaker 3: The corporate media would not air it, and in fact
- 16:15Speaker 3: they would denounce you as a racist, tinfoil hat wearing
- 16:19Speaker 3: lunatic if you said it. It just happened to be
- 16:23Speaker 3: true and factual, but never let that get in the
- 16:26Speaker 3: way of today's so called journalists.
- 16:29Speaker 2: This also, I think is very revealing about maybe why
- 16:33Speaker 2: Fauci was just so arrogant early on and so quick
- 16:36Speaker 2: to say that this was not gaina function research. It
- 16:39Speaker 2: may have actually been as simplistic of he was covering
- 16:42Speaker 2: his own ass, to be honest, because he understood just
- 16:47Speaker 2: how bad this was going to make a look if
- 16:49Speaker 2: it came out that the United States was sending money
- 16:51Speaker 2: to Wuhan for gain of function research, and sure enough
- 16:54Speaker 2: it gets out and then it kills off many people
- 16:57Speaker 2: in the world, And yet he went on faith the nation.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I have to remind people this this was back in
- 17:03Speaker 2: eleven eight of twenty twenty one, Fauci said this.
- 17:06Speaker 4: But if they get up and really aim their bullets
- 17:09Speaker 4: at Tony Fauci, well people could recognize there as a
- 17:12Speaker 4: person there.
- 17:12Speaker 1: So it's easy to criticize.
- 17:14Speaker 4: But they're really criticizing science because I represent science.
- 17:20Speaker 1: That's dangerous.
- 17:22Speaker 2: I'm science. I am the science, right, I mean that
- 17:25Speaker 2: was that was Hey, Fauci is God. You can't question me.
- 17:30Speaker 2: I am the science. You don't know what you're talking about.
- 17:33Speaker 2: And it seems like now this was just a full
- 17:35Speaker 2: blown to your cover up for him while you had
- 17:37Speaker 2: the power to do it.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Yes, as you know, there is an entire chapter in
- 17:46Speaker 3: my latest book, Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America,
- 17:52Speaker 3: an entire chapter that is dedicated to science. And actually
- 17:57Speaker 3: the chapter is called the Science. And so that quote
- 18:01Speaker 3: where Fauci says I am science, it is reminiscent of
- 18:07Speaker 3: Louis the fourteenth who said LETTASSEMOI I am the state.
- 18:12Speaker 3: Fauci says, I am the science. And there is an
- 18:15Speaker 3: arrogance to it, there is a politicization to it, and
- 18:18Speaker 3: there is a dishonesty to it. And by the way,
- 18:21Speaker 3: I walk through these facts in great detail in the
- 18:24Speaker 3: book Unwoke. So if you haven't gone and bought on Woke,
- 18:27Speaker 3: you got to go online and buy it because it
- 18:29Speaker 3: goes into great detail about this deception and look. Based
- 18:34Speaker 3: on the latest news, we know we know that now
- 18:41Speaker 3: the Chinese researcher who submitted the virus sequence is a
- 18:45Speaker 3: researcher named doctor Lilly Wren of the Beijing based Institute
- 18:50Speaker 3: of pathogen Biology. Now, doctor Wren did not respond to
- 18:54Speaker 3: an email seeking comment. The institute is part of the
- 18:59Speaker 3: state of filing Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Now here's
- 19:04Speaker 3: what the Chinese embassy is saying.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Now.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Quote, China has kept refining our COVID response based on
- 19:09Speaker 3: science to make it more targeted, the Chinese spokesperson continued.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Quote.
- 19:14Speaker 3: China's COVID response policies are science based, effective and consistent
- 19:18Speaker 3: with China's national realities. They can stand the test of history.
- 19:23Speaker 3: But here is the timing. Doctor Wren submitted the virus
- 19:27Speaker 3: to the US database on December twenty eighth, twenty nineteen,
- 19:30Speaker 3: to a genetic database that is called GenBank and it
- 19:34Speaker 3: is run by the US National Institutes of Health. The
- 19:38Speaker 3: first known publication of the of the sequence of the
- 19:41Speaker 3: COVID virus that had been identified and it's called SARS
- 19:45Speaker 3: cove two, came on January eleventh, twenty twenty, so roughly
- 19:50Speaker 3: two weeks later, and that was after Chinese authorities shared
- 19:55Speaker 3: that information with a World Health organization. Now, interestingly enough,
- 20:00Speaker 3: the sequence that Ren provided in December of twenty nineteen
- 20:04Speaker 3: was never published and was deleted from the database on
- 20:08Speaker 3: January sixteenth, twenty twenty, after the NIH asked her for
- 20:13Speaker 3: more technical details and she didn't respond, and according to
- 20:17Speaker 3: NIH protocols, if you don't respond, they deleted. So she
- 20:24Speaker 3: filed the sequence two weeks earlier than the world knew
- 20:27Speaker 3: about it, and the only explanation. And by the way,
- 20:32Speaker 3: the sequence published on January twelfth, twenty twenty was nearly identical,
- 20:38Speaker 3: nearly identical to the sequence that was submitted by Lily RN.
- 20:42Speaker 3: What does this mean. It means China knew what COVID was.
- 20:45Speaker 3: It knew before the world did. It kept it a secret.
- 20:48Speaker 3: And the reason is obvious, which is that China had
- 20:54Speaker 3: COVID before the world did in a Chinese lab and
- 20:57Speaker 3: then it escaped and poisoned the world.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Which brings me to my next question, probably the most
- 21:02Speaker 2: important one. If everything that we're now finding out is accurate,
- 21:06Speaker 2: there's a reasona believe that it's not, and the wheels
- 21:09Speaker 2: are falling off. What I would refer to now as
- 21:11Speaker 2: a queer cover up. Did Fauci and in fact join
- 21:14Speaker 2: the Chinese government and helping cover it up with his
- 21:17Speaker 2: testimony and with him not being honest with the American people.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Of course he did.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Fauci actively aggressively tried to suppress scientific inquiry, scientific discussion,
- 21:28Speaker 3: public discussion, social media discussion. Fauci actively wanted to censor
- 21:33Speaker 3: anyone pointing out that this came from a Chinese government lab. Now,
- 21:37Speaker 3: the most likely reason is that Fauci, also, I believe,
- 21:40Speaker 3: bears real responsibility for helping fund the research that created COVID.
- 21:45Speaker 3: I think he was covering his own ass, not wanting
- 21:49Speaker 3: people to know of his responsibility for it. And so look,
- 21:53Speaker 3: when people are guilty, they engage in cover ups. It's
- 21:56Speaker 3: why the White House covers up Hunter Biden's art sales.
- 22:00Speaker 3: It's the same reason Fauci covers up the Chinese government
- 22:03Speaker 3: labs complicity is because he was complicit as well, and
- 22:08Speaker 3: that's why he was trying to silence and stifle inquiry.
- 22:12Speaker 3: And remember this is a man who says I am science,
- 22:16Speaker 3: and so you cannot question the man behind the curtain.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Lastly, will there be any accountability for Fauci? Obviously not
- 22:24Speaker 2: with this administration, but is there a way to hold
- 22:27Speaker 2: him accountable for this in the future if Republicans gain
- 22:31Speaker 2: control of the Senate they have the House in this
- 22:33Speaker 2: next election that comes up. Or is it just yeah,
- 22:35Speaker 2: he lied, he got away with it. He lied under oath,
- 22:38Speaker 2: so be it.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Move on. Look.
- 22:41Speaker 3: I hope that Fauci is held accountable. I believe the
- 22:44Speaker 3: Department of Justice should investigate him and very possibly indict
- 22:49Speaker 3: and prosecute him for lying under oath to Congress. Listen,
- 22:54Speaker 3: if you look at these new documents. The Wall Street
- 22:57Speaker 3: Journal reports that doctor wren is List didn't contract documents
- 23:02Speaker 3: as being a collaborator on a US funded project to
- 23:06Speaker 3: show how coronaviruses can be transferred from animals to humans.
- 23:14Speaker 3: The work, which included collecting bat samples in China, was
- 23:18Speaker 3: overseen by the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, and those facts we
- 23:28Speaker 3: pointed out on this podcast in March of twenty twenty,
- 23:31Speaker 3: right at the outset of the pandemic that the bats
- 23:35Speaker 3: that were supposedly the source of this virus, the closest
- 23:39Speaker 3: they occurred in nature was nine hundred miles away from Wuhan,
- 23:45Speaker 3: But where you could find the bat viruses was in
- 23:48Speaker 3: the Wuhan Institute for Virology, which was just nine miles
- 23:53Speaker 3: away from the wet market where the outbreak first occurred.
- 23:57Speaker 3: And as I pointed out and in my book Unwoke,
- 24:00Speaker 3: the odds of that randomly happening of an outbreak randomly
- 24:05Speaker 3: happening within nine miles from a lab that was studying
- 24:10Speaker 3: the same virus, just on a pure mathematical level, is
- 24:15Speaker 3: less than one in ten thousand. It's why it was
- 24:17Speaker 3: obvious on the front end. But we had vested interests
- 24:22Speaker 3: in our government, most specifically doctor Anthony Fauci, that desperately
- 24:26Speaker 3: did not want the world to know the truth.
- 24:28Speaker 2: It's a new year, twenty twenty four, and a lot
- 24:31Speaker 2: of you are trying to get your finances in order.

- 25:42Speaker 2: to move to another story that deals with oddly enough
- 25:46Speaker 2: China yet again and the Biden family. But this is
- 25:49Speaker 2: an issue at the University of Penn and the University
- 25:53Speaker 2: of Penn to remind people is what hosts the Biden
- 25:56Speaker 2: think tink and we are seeing now through the Bidenpenn
- 25:59Speaker 2: Center Chinese donations have skyrocketed, including money directly from the
- 26:06Speaker 2: CCP linked sources. This coming from Fox News. It says
- 26:10Speaker 2: the University of Pennsylvania, home of President Biden's think tank,
- 26:14Speaker 2: recently tripled its donations originating from China. Records reviewed by
- 26:20Speaker 2: Fox News Digital show the Washington, DC office of Biden's
- 26:24Speaker 2: think tank, the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement,
- 26:28Speaker 2: previously found itself under a microscope after confidential documents top
- 26:33Speaker 2: secret documents were found at the center. The discovery led
- 26:36Speaker 2: to questions regarding Chinese donations to the University of Pennsylvania,
- 26:41Speaker 2: which harbors that think tank. And that's just the beginning
- 26:44Speaker 2: of this story.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Well it is, and the numbers are stunning. So from
- 26:50Speaker 3: twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, PENN received eight
- 26:55Speaker 3: point six million dollars from communist China. Eight point six
- 26:59Speaker 3: million in one year. Now that number is staggering, but
- 27:03Speaker 3: actually the next year they tripled their hall. So between
- 27:07Speaker 3: mid twenty twenty two and mid twenty twenty three, PENN
- 27:10Speaker 3: pulled in twenty five million dollars from entities and individuals
- 27:15Speaker 3: in China. So they tripled the amount and overall Penn
- 27:22Speaker 3: has amassed nearly one hundred and thirty million dollars in
- 27:26Speaker 3: donations from China between mid twenty eighteen and mid twenty
- 27:31Speaker 3: twenty three, which is a massive, massive increase. Why is
- 27:35Speaker 3: China investing so heavily in Pen and Penn? Just quinky
- 27:39Speaker 3: Dinky happens to be the place that was paying Joe
- 27:43Speaker 3: Biden before he was president nearly a million dollars a
- 27:47Speaker 3: year for a no show job where he occasionally showed
- 27:51Speaker 3: up to teach a class at other than that jetted
- 27:53Speaker 3: around the world living like the idle Rich coincidentally is
- 27:58Speaker 3: a university where we now know that Joe Biden I
- 28:02Speaker 3: legally had classified documents stored. And all of this is intertwined.
- 28:09Speaker 3: We know that Hunter Biden and the Biden family made
- 28:13Speaker 3: millions of dollars from Communist China, that Hunter Biden shook
- 28:17Speaker 3: down the Chinese communists for personal enrichment, and the obvious
- 28:20Speaker 3: inference is it wasn't just in enrichment of their family,
- 28:23Speaker 3: it was also in enrichment of Pen, which in turn
- 28:27Speaker 3: was enriching the Biden family.
- 28:30Speaker 2: And the part that also is so frustrating is there's
- 28:33Speaker 2: really no one that's covering this story. Stuart Varney on
- 28:37Speaker 2: Fox Business. He did cover it and this is what
- 28:40Speaker 2: it sounded like. But the rest of the media is silent
- 28:42Speaker 2: on this.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Now, this is the University of Pennsylvania seeing a big
- 28:46Speaker 1: surch in Chinese donations. Lauren, how much are we talking about?
- 28:50Speaker 5: And do we know why we got this big zone?
- 28:53Speaker 5: How much?
- 28:53Speaker 6: Twenty five million dollars in one year between mid twenty
- 28:56Speaker 6: twenty two and the middle of last year.
- 28:58Speaker 5: That was triple the year before. Why. Good question. One
- 29:03Speaker 5: donor is actually a political consultant for the CCP.
- 29:06Speaker 6: Another a private equity founder in China with ties to
- 29:10Speaker 6: President She President Biden was a professor at penn after
- 29:15Speaker 6: he was vice president. The school paid him seven hundred
- 29:18Speaker 6: and seventy six thousand dollars. That is way more than
- 29:20Speaker 6: a professor makes.
- 29:22Speaker 5: It hosts his thin tank.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Okay, you know where we're going, kid though, Yeah, I
- 29:26Speaker 1: mean Biden family has taken a great deal of money
- 29:30Speaker 1: from China.
- 29:31Speaker 6: Yeah right, yeah, and now the Chinese are giving money
- 29:35Speaker 6: to the school where his thing tank is and where
- 29:37Speaker 6: his personal classified documents were found.
- 29:39Speaker 5: Remember in the office there. Yeah.
- 29:42Speaker 2: One of the things in that reporting there that I
- 29:44Speaker 2: think we should talk about, is you're getting a donation
- 29:47Speaker 2: from someone that devises the Chinese Communist Party, Senator, you
- 29:51Speaker 2: deal with a lot of donations when you're running for office.
- 29:54Speaker 2: If somebody gives you a massive donation and they're advising
- 29:57Speaker 2: the Chinese Commist Party, I'm assuming you're not.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Going to acce future. You're going to give it back.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Of course, this is not hard.
- 30:04Speaker 2: And there's nobody asking the White House, Hey, are you
- 30:06Speaker 2: guys going to give this money back to communists that
- 30:09Speaker 2: are trying to clearly buy influence.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Well, they're clearly trying to buy influence at penn and
- 30:15Speaker 3: nobody gives that kind of money for nothing. They don't
- 30:18Speaker 3: give that kind of money without expecting to get a
- 30:20Speaker 3: benefit in return. And the inner connection of the Bidens.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Look the Bidens. All of the evidence indicates that the
- 30:29Speaker 3: Bidens made a decision decades ago that they were going
- 30:32Speaker 3: to get rich by shaking down the enemies of American
- 30:36Speaker 3: shaking them down, demanding millions of dollars in exchange either
- 30:42Speaker 3: for favors from Joe Biden or millions of dollars in
- 30:48Speaker 3: order not to be targeted for retribution by Joe Biden. Now,
- 30:53Speaker 3: if that is correct, that it's called bribery and it
- 30:57Speaker 3: is a felony. It is also explicitly enumeras in the
- 31:00Speaker 3: Constitution as grounds for impeachment. And the entire corporate media
- 31:04Speaker 3: could not care one iota. The New York Times cannot
- 31:09Speaker 3: be bothered to worry if the president of the United
- 31:13Speaker 3: States has been bribed by communist China. That is not
- 31:17Speaker 3: news in their politicized world. CNN can't be bothered to
- 31:20Speaker 3: worry about an MSNBC not news there, ABCNBCCBS. Why is
- 31:25Speaker 3: it that you had to play Fox Business because none
- 31:28Speaker 3: of the corporate media is willing even to cover it.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Facts be damned, they have a political mission uphold.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Will there be any of this that you think will
- 31:39Speaker 2: be used to actually expose the Biden family in this
- 31:43Speaker 2: campaign cycle? I mean, when you're talking about this much money,
- 31:46Speaker 2: it's not a little bit of money, it's a hell
- 31:48Speaker 2: of a.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Lot of money.
- 31:50Speaker 2: And the other part here is they mentioned the numbers
- 31:54Speaker 2: tripled right when we got closer to this election when
- 31:57Speaker 2: he announced he was running for reelections, Like, oh wait,
- 31:59Speaker 2: he's stilling the game.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Okay, we better send money. Look, I think there needs
- 32:03Speaker 3: to be a serious investigation. There needs to be enhanced
- 32:06Speaker 3: federal scrutiny of universities that are on the take from
- 32:10Speaker 3: communist China. One of the very first pieces of legislation
- 32:14Speaker 3: that I ever authored and passed when I was a
- 32:16Speaker 3: brand new baby senator, was legislation focusing on exactly this issue,
- 32:21Speaker 3: in particular what are called Confucius institutes. So Confucius institutes
- 32:25Speaker 3: have been started at US universities all across the country,
- 32:29Speaker 3: and they're funded by communist China. They're controlled by communist China.
- 32:33Speaker 3: And China goes to the schools and say, hey, we'll
- 32:36Speaker 3: start this institute and your students can learn Chinese and
- 32:39Speaker 3: they'll get educated on China. And China uses them number
- 32:43Speaker 3: one for espionage and number two for propaganda to push
- 32:46Speaker 3: the messages that they want US college students to hear
- 32:50Speaker 3: from communist China. And so when I was newly elected
- 32:53Speaker 3: to the Senate, I introduced legislation that prohibited federal Department
- 32:57Speaker 3: of Defense dollars from going to a university that has
- 33:02Speaker 3: a Confucius institute. That if you're going to take the
- 33:04Speaker 3: Chinese money, you don't get DoD money. And I was
- 33:08Speaker 3: on the Senate Armed Services Committee at the time. I
- 33:10Speaker 3: introduced it. I ended up getting bipartisan support for it,
- 33:12Speaker 3: and it was adopted with both Democrats and Republicans supporting it.
- 33:16Speaker 3: It passed through the Harry Reid Senate, so we had
- 33:19Speaker 3: a Democrat majority Senate, and ultimately Barack Obama signed it
- 33:23Speaker 3: in the law. And my legislation resulted in dozens of
- 33:27Speaker 3: Confucius institutes shutting down because universities made the very reasonable
- 33:32Speaker 3: decision that they wanted DoD dollars more than the Chinese
- 33:35Speaker 3: money for Confucius institutes. We need to do.
- 33:38Speaker 1: More on this.
- 33:38Speaker 3: We need to cut off this Chinese money that is
- 33:41Speaker 3: going to universities across the board. But with PEN there
- 33:45Speaker 3: appears to be more than simple influence peddling. China's doing
- 33:49Speaker 3: this in a lot of universities, and it's a broad problem.
- 33:52Speaker 3: But with PEN, the volume is so great that on
- 33:56Speaker 3: the face of it, it seems to be deeply in
- 34:00Speaker 3: are twined with Joe Biden and the fact that Penn
- 34:04Speaker 3: gave a home forum, and so giving money to PEN
- 34:07Speaker 3: was a way to give money directly to Joe Biden.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Inflation is heavily eroding your purchasing power, putting your savings,
- 34:15Speaker 2: your retirement accounts and your future legacy at risk. With
- 34:19Speaker 2: more taxes, the continuing threat of war, a national debtic
- 34:23Speaker 2: seating thirty four trillion dollars, as well as the push
- 34:27Speaker 2: for central bank digital currencies, our financial freedom is at stake.
- 34:32Speaker 2: If you have fifty thousand dollars or more in retirement savings,
- 34:35Speaker 2: you may be at risk in times of economic uncertainty.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Securing your family's financial future is essential, and that's why

- 35:37Speaker 2: the debates against Donald Trump? Because now he's going to
- 35:41Speaker 2: have to answer these questions on stage. I mean if
- 35:44Speaker 2: he's much more vulnerable now than he was when they
- 35:47Speaker 2: ran against each other last time, because last time he
- 35:50Speaker 2: could just say, hey, it's all a lie, the laptop's
- 35:53Speaker 2: a lie. I got fifty plus people they're saying it's
- 35:55Speaker 2: a lie. None of this is real. Now you can't
- 35:58Speaker 2: do that this time.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually don't. I think Biden, if he is
- 36:03Speaker 3: the nominee, will debate. I think we'll have a couple
- 36:06Speaker 3: of debates. I think their strategy will be to hide
- 36:09Speaker 3: Joe Biden in the basement for the entirety of the campaign,
- 36:12Speaker 3: and so the debates may be about the only time
- 36:15Speaker 3: you see Biden during the entire campaign. And I think
- 36:18Speaker 3: for the debates they'll pump him full of a bunch
- 36:20Speaker 3: of drugs and try to make him alert for an hour,
- 36:23Speaker 3: for ninety minutes, and that'll be it. And look, will
- 36:26Speaker 3: they debate internally? Will they discuss internally? Does Joe Biden
- 36:30Speaker 3: skip the debate? Sure they would love to. And by
- 36:32Speaker 3: the way we saw precedent last cycle. The governor of
- 36:35Speaker 3: Pennsylvania refuse to debate a Democrat, the governor of Arizona
- 36:39Speaker 3: refuse to debate a Democrat. It's a very dangerous precedent.
- 36:44Speaker 3: I think the Democrats will conclude that if Biden ducks
- 36:47Speaker 3: the debate, the American people will assume he's too feeble
- 36:51Speaker 3: and mentally diminished to be able to debate. And so
- 36:54Speaker 3: I think that will scare them enough that they will
- 36:57Speaker 3: end up producing Biden for a couple of debates, pumped
- 37:00Speaker 3: full of drugs for a little while.
- 37:04Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.
- 37:06Speaker 2: We'll keep covering it. Don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday,
