0:00
Speaker 1: Top oversight Republican in Congress is now demanding testimony as
0:05
Speaker 1: well as documents from Biden officials on the sale of
0:10
Speaker 1: our strategic petroleum reserves supposed to be used for national
0:15
Speaker 1: security issues that instead was sold to a Hunter Biden
0:20
Speaker 1: link Chinese communist oil company. House Oversight and Reform King
0:26
Speaker 1: ranking member James Comer told bright Bart News an exclusive
0:30
Speaker 1: statement that when Republicans quote take control of the House,
0:33
Speaker 1: they plan on investigating reports at President Joe Biden sold
0:36
Speaker 1: nearly one million barrels from our US strategic petroleum reserves
0:41
Speaker 1: to a Chinese state owned company that had financial ties
0:45
Speaker 1: to the private equity firm co founded by Hunter Biden.
0:49
Speaker 1: As you know, and we've been covering this extensively, the
0:52
Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacons Colin Anderson released a bombshell report that
0:57
Speaker 1: Biden's Department of Energy purposely directly like this wasn't an accident,
1:03
Speaker 1: sold one million barrels to UNIPEC, the trading arm of
1:08
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist company also known as Cinepec. Centepec, is
1:12
Speaker 1: wholly owned and wholly operated by the Chinese Communist Party.
1:19
Speaker 1: According to the report, Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden reportedly
1:23
Speaker 1: has financial ties directly to the Chinese Communist Party owned
1:28
Speaker 1: Cinepec Oil, a private equity firm that Hunter Biden co founded,
1:34
Speaker 1: reportedly purchased roughly two billion dollars steak in Cinepec marketing
1:42
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. I didn't say million, I said to billion.
1:46
Speaker 1: The Free Beacon noted Biden is connected to Centepec through
1:51
Speaker 1: his company his Partners, a private equity firm that Hunter
1:54
Speaker 1: Biden co founded in two and thirteen. All right, quickly,

3:20
Speaker 1: All right, now, let me get back to explain to
3:22
Speaker 1: you the timing of all of this. Now, this company
3:26
Speaker 1: BHR bought one point seven billion dollars Steak in Centepec Marketing,
3:31
Speaker 1: a Chinese communist firm, in two thousand and fifteen. Biden
3:36
Speaker 1: at one point owned as much as ten percent of
3:39
Speaker 1: his STEAK and BHR partners through his wholly owned firm
3:43
Speaker 1: and LLC. Now Comer represents Comer, who's the ranking member
3:48
Speaker 1: of the House Oversight Committee and likely the next chairman
3:51
Speaker 1: of the Oversight Committee if Republicans take back the House
3:55
Speaker 1: in November. Said that he absolutely plans to investigate reports
4:01
Speaker 1: at President Biden sold oil linked to Hunter Biden once
4:05
Speaker 1: they take the House majority after the midterm elections. Quote
4:09
Speaker 1: from day one, the Biden administration has waged they wore
4:11
Speaker 1: against America's energy producers. It started with a cancelation of
4:16
Speaker 1: the Keystone XL pipeline and has continued with their push
4:21
Speaker 1: to implement radical Green New Deal policies. I call it
4:26
Speaker 1: the Green New religion. It is a religion to the left.
4:29
Speaker 1: They are obsessed with their Green New religion, and that
4:32
Speaker 1: is exactly why they are forcing you to pay five
4:35
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon gas average nationwide. And their recent decision
4:41
Speaker 1: to remove oil specifically from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves didn't
4:45
Speaker 1: just fail to lower high gas prices. To Congressman want
4:48
Speaker 1: On to say, it has now left Americans vulnerable to
4:53
Speaker 1: unstable oil markets created specifically by the Biden administration. The
5:00
Speaker 1: congressman also said, quote the Department of Energy is operating
5:04
Speaker 1: behind closed doors and has left Americans in the dark.
5:09
Speaker 1: Under no circumstances should Present Biden be providing our oil
5:13
Speaker 1: reserves to houstyle foreign adversaries or Chinese firms linked to
5:17
Speaker 1: his son Hunter Biden, it's critical for Energy Secretary Graholme
5:22
Speaker 1: to stop dodging our congressional inquiries and testify before the
5:26
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee come. Are also charged that quote, when Republicans
5:31
Speaker 1: control the gabble, we will get answers. Indeed, there remained
5:36
Speaker 1: many many unanswered questions surrounding all of this, asked in
5:42
Speaker 1: fact by the reporters. During a press conference on Friday,
5:45
Speaker 1: the White House Press Secretary Jean Pierre said, quote, the
5:49
Speaker 1: Department of Energy can't dictate what old companies do with
5:54
Speaker 1: the oil they purchase or where they ship it to sell.
5:57
Speaker 1: This is how stupid they think you are as an
6:00
Speaker 1: Americans that you can actually figure this out. They're lying
6:04
Speaker 1: to you, by the way, that is something. Again, she
6:07
Speaker 1: went on to say that the oil company decides on
6:09
Speaker 1: and again I would refer you to the Department of
6:11
Speaker 1: Energy on that question quote unquote. Now, I want to
6:19
Speaker 1: go back to there's two parts to this story that
6:22
Speaker 1: we're starting to connect the dots on a little bit
6:24
Speaker 1: here more and more. And the two parts of the
6:28
Speaker 1: story is also this other part that has come out
6:30
Speaker 1: in the past week that no one is wanting to
6:33
Speaker 1: talk about as well, and that is the fact that
6:35
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty financial transactions, okay, more
6:41
Speaker 1: than one hundred and fifty banking transactions with Hunter Biden. Okay,
6:48
Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden. We're flagged for problems issues that we're
6:57
Speaker 1: connected either shady actors, foreign governments that are shady, or
7:03
Speaker 1: for money laundering or cartel like transactions. This is what
7:09
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's bank accounts were being flagged A hundred and
7:13
Speaker 1: fifty times. Now, there's two options here. Number one, this
7:17
Speaker 1: may be more than anybody in history has ever been flagged.
7:20
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because long before you got
7:23
Speaker 1: to a hundred and fifty of these, you would probably
7:26
Speaker 1: have been stopped from doing whatever it was that you
7:29
Speaker 1: were doing. That's number one, Okay, Number two, the Hunter Biden, clearly,
7:35
Speaker 1: I guess new from his father and from the Biden
7:38
Speaker 1: administration during many of these times they were flagged that
7:42
Speaker 1: he could keep doing it and get away from it
7:44
Speaker 1: because he was being protected. He was being protected so
7:49
Speaker 1: he could continue to do this. Now, Congressman James Comer
7:55
Speaker 1: had this to say about and he has the ranking
7:58
Speaker 1: member of the House Oversight and Reform commit He had
8:00
Speaker 1: this to say on Hannity's show The other night about
8:03
Speaker 1: all of these financial transactions. Listen, Well, we found out
8:07
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden has had one hundred and fifty suspicious
8:10
Speaker 1: activity reports filed against various accounts that he and Jim Biden,
8:14
Speaker 1: the President's brother, have. That's unprecedented, Jason, A normal person
8:19
Speaker 1: America never has any bank violations. Less than one tenth
8:23
Speaker 1: of one percent of people ever have any bank voleations.
8:26
Speaker 1: They've had one hundred and fifty, which I would say
8:28
Speaker 1: is more than any person in the history of America.
8:30
Speaker 1: These are the most serious banking violations you can have.
8:33
Speaker 1: They're suspicion of money laundering, suspicion of receiving money from
8:37
Speaker 1: terrorist groups, suspicion of money from bad actors in foreign countries.
8:41
Speaker 1: Before Joe Biden became president, under the Obama adminstration, in
8:45
Speaker 1: the Bush administration, any member of Congress could go to
8:48
Speaker 1: the Treasury Department and request suspicious activity reports. These were
8:51
Speaker 1: put into place again to catch fundling money to terrorist
8:55
Speaker 1: sales in the United States. I mean, it's unheard of.
8:57
Speaker 1: He's had one hundred and fifty of these elations. Once
9:01
Speaker 1: we determined this, then I went to Treasury requested the
9:04
Speaker 1: stars one hundred Biden they said, no, we change the rules.
9:06
Speaker 1: You can't do that anymore. This started getting pressed, We
9:09
Speaker 1: started leaking out that the Treasury Department was stole along
9:12
Speaker 1: with this. Then they came back and said, okay, we'll
9:14
Speaker 1: make an exception. If you can get a single Democrat
9:17
Speaker 1: to sign on the request with you, then we'll give
9:20
Speaker 1: you the request. And obviously, Jason, as you can imagine,
9:23
Speaker 1: no Democrats are interested to sign it on. No Democrats
9:27
Speaker 1: would sign on, So they change the rules when you
9:29
Speaker 1: want to get the information. That's what the Democrats now do,
9:33
Speaker 1: because clearly they know that there's something significant here to hide,
9:37
Speaker 1: not saying it's little, something that is significant that they
9:42
Speaker 1: must hide here. Now, how do you get away with
9:44
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty transactions? You know that someone told
9:49
Speaker 1: you that just keep doing what you're doing and no
9:51
Speaker 1: one's gonna come knocking. That's how you get away with it.
9:54
Speaker 1: You don't get away with one hundred and fifty transactions
9:56
Speaker 1: have been flagged by banks by accident. You get away
10:00
Speaker 1: because someone said we're looking the other way. Keep doing
10:03
Speaker 1: what you're doing. There's another aspect of this story, and
10:09
Speaker 1: it's not just the financial transactions of Hunter Biden. The
10:13
Speaker 1: other part of this story is the fact that we
10:17
Speaker 1: have a real problem in this country when it comes
10:21
Speaker 1: to the basic needs of its citizens. The president's job
10:27
Speaker 1: is to take care of the American people first and foremost,
10:31
Speaker 1: at least any present that I know that loves America. Now,
10:35
Speaker 1: why is it that Joe Biden has decided to sell
10:37
Speaker 1: and lie to you while doing it? Remember, he said,
10:39
Speaker 1: we're going to release a million barrels a day from
10:43
Speaker 1: our strategic petroleum reserves. And the reason why he said that, right,
10:49
Speaker 1: the only reason why he said that, The main reason
10:54
Speaker 1: he said it, and the only reason is because he
10:55
Speaker 1: was trying to get you to understand that he was
10:57
Speaker 1: going to help you. Right, Well, if millions and millions
11:02
Speaker 1: of barrels of oil are not going to you, then
11:06
Speaker 1: your resources are being stolen. Remember, you are the one
11:11
Speaker 1: that pays for the strategic oil reserves. Never forget that.
11:15
Speaker 1: Not only do you pay for the strategic oil reserves, right,
11:20
Speaker 1: but it's they are actually for a national security perspective.
11:24
Speaker 1: Artificially lowering the price of gas right now is technically
11:28
Speaker 1: not a national security issue. It's a domestic policy issue,
11:32
Speaker 1: but it's not national security. Our stratetric oil reserves are
11:35
Speaker 1: to make sure that no one has advantage over us. Now,
11:38
Speaker 1: those numbers because we keep releasing this oil every single day. That's,
11:43
Speaker 1: by the way, not staying in America. Is being done
11:45
Speaker 1: for election year purposes. Look at the calendar right now.
11:49
Speaker 1: It's July, folks, August, September, October, November. We're less than
11:55
Speaker 1: four months away from election day. They're not releasing this
11:58
Speaker 1: oil because they think it's the right thing, dude. They're
12:00
Speaker 1: releasing this oil because Democrats said, we're gonna get hammered,
12:03
Speaker 1: we're gonna get destroyed, we're gonna get obliterated in the
12:09
Speaker 1: mid term elections if you guys don't stop, if you
12:12
Speaker 1: don't turn things around, right, That's what was said here.
12:15
Speaker 1: That was the ball game. And so that's why they
12:18
Speaker 1: started releasing these strategic oil reserves. That's the only reason
12:25
Speaker 1: why they started doing it. Now they're not actually helping you,
12:31
Speaker 1: they're lying to you and then sending this oil to
12:34
Speaker 1: foreign countries. That doesn't help your prices go down. That
12:37
Speaker 1: doesn't help anything that you're doing, which brings us to
12:41
Speaker 1: another point. For America to be a functioning place, and
12:46
Speaker 1: for any country to function, then what you have to
12:50
Speaker 1: do is you have to have food, water, and oil
12:55
Speaker 1: and gas. You have to have it for there to
12:58
Speaker 1: be a basic functioning society. Look at what just happened
13:01
Speaker 1: in Tunisia. If you look at the videos that are
13:04
Speaker 1: coming out of Tunisia, you will see that they have
13:07
Speaker 1: overrun the President of Palace. And why they do it
13:09
Speaker 1: because of food shortages and oil shortages. So for any
13:13
Speaker 1: country in the world, you got to have this. And
13:17
Speaker 1: yet our president looks you in the eyes and tells
13:21
Speaker 1: you that he's going to lower the price artificially by
13:25
Speaker 1: giving you oil out of strategic oil reserves. Right, and
13:29
Speaker 1: then he actually sends it to Chinese communist bad actors
13:33
Speaker 1: who have direct financial ties to his son. That to
13:38
Speaker 1: me is impeachable alone. Tucker Carlson this week actually made
13:42
Speaker 1: another point, another point that I think is actually brilliant,
13:45
Speaker 1: and he said, this is a point I'm going to
13:47
Speaker 1: keep making over and over again, and he said, look,
13:50
Speaker 1: I'm calling for President Joe Biden's impeachment over his energy
13:53
Speaker 1: policy now, which includes him taking our resources and sending
13:58
Speaker 1: them to our adversaries. But he also talked about what
14:01
Speaker 1: it means to be a functioning society. Listen to this
14:03
Speaker 1: decap on the never changing rules of the world. The
14:08
Speaker 1: three things that any functioning country must have an ample
14:11
Speaker 1: supply are food, water, and energy. Those are the fundamental
14:16
Speaker 1: necessities of life, not diversity, equity, and inclusion, food, water,
14:20
Speaker 1: and energy. If you have a surplus of food, water,
14:22
Speaker 1: and energy, you win. If you don't, you lose. Now
14:25
Speaker 1: that may sound unfair, but we did not make the rules.
14:28
Speaker 1: Nature did. We can choose to ignore them, but those
14:31
Speaker 1: rules will never change. Sorry. Thankfully, for Americans, we live
14:35
Speaker 1: in a country that is remarkably abundant in all three
14:37
Speaker 1: of those things. The US has the most fertile farmland
14:40
Speaker 1: in the world. We've got more potable fresh water than
14:42
Speaker 1: virtually any other place. And critically and rarest of all,
14:46
Speaker 1: America has the largest recoverable oil reserves on the planet.
14:50
Speaker 1: We are number one in that category, and that matters
14:53
Speaker 1: may be more than anything. Now they may be telling
14:55
Speaker 1: you on CNN that so called renewable energy windmills and
14:58
Speaker 1: solar panels are about to the world. But that's absurd
15:02
Speaker 1: and no one corrects them, and somebody should because a
15:05
Speaker 1: lot is at stake. If you're nine year old starts
15:07
Speaker 1: telling you, I'm like Superman. You have to correct him
15:10
Speaker 1: before he jumps off the garage. The stakes are high,
15:14
Speaker 1: so it is incumbent on the rest of us to
15:16
Speaker 1: point out the people telling you that have no idea
15:20
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. We are not remotely close to
15:24
Speaker 1: a green energy power grid or anything even approaching it.
15:27
Speaker 1: In fact, as of today, the world is powered as
15:30
Speaker 1: it has long been, by fossil fuels. Fossil fuels, that's
15:33
Speaker 1: where more than eighty percent of global energy comes from,
15:36
Speaker 1: not from windmills and solar panels, from oil and gas
15:40
Speaker 1: and coal, and that is not going to change soon.
15:42
Speaker 1: In fact, the world's fastest growing economies, that would be
15:45
Speaker 1: India and China, are using more fossil fuels than ever,
15:49
Speaker 1: not less. So, why is every person in charge, from
15:55
Speaker 1: the people who make the ads at Nike to the
15:57
Speaker 1: energy secretary to the President United States, every anchor on
16:01
Speaker 1: every channel on television telling you exactly the opposite. We'll
16:05
Speaker 1: give them better for the doubt. At best, they are ignorant.
16:08
Speaker 1: They're not engineers. They are politicians and ideologus. They're the
16:11
Speaker 1: ones telling you that boys can become girls just by
16:13
Speaker 1: wishing it so, And they've commanded the rest of us
16:15
Speaker 1: to believe that. But unfortunately for them, the principles of
16:18
Speaker 1: social justice do not apply to power grids. You can't
16:21
Speaker 1: just rename them and get something different. No, you have
16:24
Speaker 1: to create new and better power grids. And we are
16:27
Speaker 1: nowhere near that, and we will not be anywhere near
16:29
Speaker 1: that during the course of our lifetimes. Sorry, that's reality,
16:33
Speaker 1: and you cannot yell loud enough to make it change
16:36
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. Oil and gas are essential to
16:39
Speaker 1: civilization in an utterly non negotiable way. And that should
16:43
Speaker 1: be great news for America because here in the United
16:45
Speaker 1: States we have a lot. We are rich because we
16:49
Speaker 1: are rich in natural resources. That's why we won the
16:53
Speaker 1: Second World War. For example, when previous generations said, as
16:56
Speaker 1: they often did, that God has blessed our country, this
17:00
Speaker 1: is what they were talking about. So why is it
17:03
Speaker 1: that our president is And I go back to what
17:05
Speaker 1: Tugger's saying here, we have an amazing country. And he's right,
17:11
Speaker 1: same thing I said a moment ago. There are three
17:14
Speaker 1: things that any functioning country must have. An ample supply
17:17
Speaker 1: of food, water, and energy. If you don't believe me,
17:20
Speaker 1: will get Tunisia. Look at any country when those things
17:24
Speaker 1: aren't happening when they don't have those things? And what
17:26
Speaker 1: do people do? They rise up right, and he said,
17:29
Speaker 1: those are the fundamental assesses in life. Not diversity, not equity, noninclusion.
17:32
Speaker 1: It's food, water, and energy. And if you have a
17:35
Speaker 1: surplus of food, water, and energy, you win. If you don't,
17:37
Speaker 1: you lose. So why is our president purposely right now
17:43
Speaker 1: making it where it's impossible for Americans to get the
17:49
Speaker 1: basic things that they need. One of those things, for example,
17:52
Speaker 1: is baby formula. There is still a baby formula shortage.
17:58
Speaker 1: We still have supply chain shoes, which means we have
18:01
Speaker 1: shortages of certain types of food. We're the United States
18:05
Speaker 1: of America. We've been dealing with a baby shortage formula
18:09
Speaker 1: shortage for what six months now, and this president still
18:12
Speaker 1: hasn't fix it, figured it out. Can you imagine if
18:15
Speaker 1: there was a baby formula shortage under Donald Trump? It
18:18
Speaker 1: would be wall to wall coverage every single night, and
18:21
Speaker 1: they would put mothers on TV crying talking about how
18:24
Speaker 1: their babies lives are at risk, and they would do
18:27
Speaker 1: everything it could to destroy the President of the United
18:29
Speaker 1: States of America for it if it was a Republican
18:31
Speaker 1: but because it's a Democrat. What do they say? Nothing?
18:34
Speaker 1: They shut up? And why because they don't really care
18:38
Speaker 1: about your kids. They don't care about baby formula, and
18:41
Speaker 1: they don't care about one hundred and twenty dollars that
18:43
Speaker 1: I put in my gas tank today. They don't care
18:47
Speaker 1: if you are going broke, because when you go broke,
18:50
Speaker 1: that means that you need them, and that's when they
18:55
Speaker 1: have ultimate total power over you. Now remember that for
19:02
Speaker 1: a moment, and I also want you to know where
19:06
Speaker 1: your money is going. Totally separate subject, but totally related
19:10
Speaker 1: to what's happening in this country right now. Biden has
19:16
Speaker 1: just restored funds to the Palestinians after Donald Trump cut
19:21
Speaker 1: the funds the Palestinians because they were financing terrorism against Israel.
19:28
Speaker 1: In an opinion piece riddled with misleading information and outright lies,
19:33
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden held his administration's decision to quote restore
19:37
Speaker 1: funding to the Palestinian Authority. He also credited his administration
19:42
Speaker 1: for stopping the last war between Hamas and Israel and
19:46
Speaker 1: defended his decision to visit Saudi Arabia. Obviously he didn't
19:51
Speaker 1: write this piece, but you know why he's going to
19:53
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia right now he's going to bag the Saudians
19:55
Speaker 1: to produce more oil while America refuses to produce the
19:58
Speaker 1: oil that we currently have in Saudi Arabia. Knows how
20:01
Speaker 1: strong they are right now because this president is willing
20:04
Speaker 1: to beg them instead of actually be energy independent on
20:08
Speaker 1: our own. Now. In this piece that he didn't right,
20:11
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but it has his byline on it titled
20:15
Speaker 1: what I hope to accomplish in Saudi Arabia and Israel. Right,
20:19
Speaker 1: go meet with the enemy that, go meet with Israel
20:21
Speaker 1: and then give money back to the Palestinians, all at
20:23
Speaker 1: the same time and published in The Washington Post this weekend,
20:26
Speaker 1: Biden vowed to keep human rights and fundamental freedoms on
20:30
Speaker 1: his agenda. You really think he's gonna walk into Saudi
20:32
Speaker 1: Arabia and say, hey, guys, need to talk to you
20:34
Speaker 1: about killing and a journalist with a Washington Post real quick,
20:37
Speaker 1: while I beg you to make more gas or droll
20:40
Speaker 1: more oil. I doubt it. He also said in the article,
20:45
Speaker 1: my views on human rights are clear and longstanding, and
20:47
Speaker 1: fundamental freedoms are always on the agenda when I travel abroad,
20:51
Speaker 1: as they will be during this trip, just as they
20:53
Speaker 1: will be in Israel and the rest bank. WHOA hold
20:57
Speaker 1: on a second, So you're accusing Israel now of human
20:59
Speaker 1: rights abuses? Is that what you're saying, because it does
21:02
Speaker 1: sound like it. You're basically saying, well, there's a problem
21:05
Speaker 1: on each side of this. Right. I know Hamas and
21:07
Speaker 1: has Blah is not great, but you gotta look at
21:10
Speaker 1: Israel too, right. The Israels, by the way, always defending themselves.
21:13
Speaker 1: They're not going on offense, attacking random people and trying
21:16
Speaker 1: to overthrow and push people in the sea, which is
21:18
Speaker 1: exactly what Hamas has Blah in the Palestine. The authority
21:21
Speaker 1: have said that their goal is. What's even weirder is
21:26
Speaker 1: the fact the president actually try to take credit for
21:29
Speaker 1: ending the eleven day conflict between Israel and the Hamas
21:32
Speaker 1: terror group in May of twenty twenty one, even though
21:34
Speaker 1: a ceasefire deal was brokered not by the US and
21:37
Speaker 1: certainly not by Biden, but by Egypt. What did he say?
21:42
Speaker 1: He said? Quote in his op ed that I'm sure
21:44
Speaker 1: he didn't write, Joe Biden said, in Israel, we helped
21:48
Speaker 1: into war in Gaza, which could easily have lasted months.
21:50
Speaker 1: In just eleven days, we worked with Israel, Egypt, Qatar,
21:53
Speaker 1: Jordan to maintain the peace without permitting terrorists to rearm.
21:57
Speaker 1: It is also highly unlikely that the conflict would lasted.
22:00
Speaker 1: It is also highly unlikely that the conflict quote unquote
22:04
Speaker 1: would have lasted months. There is no precedent for such
22:08
Speaker 1: an occurrence, with previous flare ups between Hamas and Israel
22:11
Speaker 1: lasting a little as a week. So he's lying to
22:14
Speaker 1: you yet again. Biden also praised his administration's decision to
22:19
Speaker 1: reinstate funding to the Palestinian authority. Well, that's new news.
22:23
Speaker 1: The Trump administration cut aid to the Palestinians over it
22:26
Speaker 1: so called paid a slay scheme where they paid convicted
22:30
Speaker 1: terrorists and their families. Yes, they paid them, what do
22:36
Speaker 1: they pay them? The Palestinean authority had deemed it a
22:38
Speaker 1: noble national deed. They say that will never be stopped.
22:44
Speaker 1: According the Palestinians Finance Ministry, roughly one hundred million inis,
22:51
Speaker 1: which is the equivalent about thirty thousand American has paid
22:53
Speaker 1: out per month to around thirty five thousand terrorists, prisoners
22:58
Speaker 1: and their families. In other words, you go out there
23:02
Speaker 1: and try to kill some people, when you get busted
23:04
Speaker 1: or you die or you go to prison, We'll take
23:08
Speaker 1: care of your family. Don't worry. Quote. We also rebuilt
23:11
Speaker 1: US tie, as the President said, with the Palestinians. I'm
23:14
Speaker 1: not sure that's a good thing, mister President. Working with Congress,
23:17
Speaker 1: my administration restore approximately five hundred million in support for
23:21
Speaker 1: the Palestinians while also passing the largest support package for Israel,
23:26
Speaker 1: over four billions. So, in other words, I want to
23:28
Speaker 1: play both sides. I love the terrorists, and I also
23:30
Speaker 1: will be nice to Israel. And this week, as Israeli
23:34
Speaker 1: Prime Minister spoke with the President of the Palestinian Authority
23:36
Speaker 1: for the first time in five years, he wants to
23:39
Speaker 1: take credit for that as well. So we're giving money
23:43
Speaker 1: to terrorists, now, we're giving oil to the Chinese and
23:49
Speaker 1: in a company that his son has a vested interest in,
23:52
Speaker 1: while making it harder for you to live. Does that
23:57
Speaker 1: not sound like an impeachable offense. We got one hundred
24:01
Speaker 1: and fifty transactions that have been flagged in your son's
24:07
Speaker 1: bank accounts, something that is unprecedented and has probably never
24:11
Speaker 1: happened before to any American citizen. Yet your son's been
24:14
Speaker 1: able to do this. It's pretty interesting, isn't it now.
24:19
Speaker 1: Not only have they've been calling for transparency with these
24:23
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty transactions, but Senator Ron Johnson also said
24:27
Speaker 1: this week we have a treasure trove of information from
24:30
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop that no one in Congress has invested yet
24:33
Speaker 1: because the Democrats refuse to acknowledge it. Listen to this.
24:38
Speaker 1: Hunter and Jim Biden have received over one hundred and
24:42
Speaker 1: fifty suspicious activity reports that would probably put them at
24:45
Speaker 1: the top of the list of anyone in America. And
24:48
Speaker 1: that's no exact direction. You can ask any banker that,
24:51
Speaker 1: prior to Joe Biden becoming president, members of Congress could
24:54
Speaker 1: request from the Treasury Department a list of people that
24:58
Speaker 1: had suspicious activity reports. Biden win in and change the
25:01
Speaker 1: rule to where Congress can no longer request suspicious activity
25:05
Speaker 1: reports from the Treasury Department. Wow. That was House Oversight
25:10
Speaker 1: Community ranking Member James Comer on with Me on Mornings
25:13
Speaker 1: with Mario over on Fox Business on Wednesday, exposing the
25:16
Speaker 1: Treasure Department's new rule that restricts Congress's access to suspicious
25:21
Speaker 1: activity reports, including the more than one hundred and fifty
25:25
Speaker 1: related to Hunter and Jim Biden's foreign business transactions. My
25:28
Speaker 1: next guest has been investigating this potential influence pedaling, and
25:32
Speaker 1: in September of twenty twenty released an in depth report
25:35
Speaker 1: on the Biden family's financial transactions with oligarchs in China
25:39
Speaker 1: tied to the Communist Party, as well as in Russia
25:41
Speaker 1: and in the Ukraine. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson sits on
25:45
Speaker 1: the Senate Foreign Relations and Homeland Security Committee. Is a
25:47
Speaker 1: good morning, Senator, Thanks very much for being with us.
25:49
Speaker 1: I want to get your take on these one hundred
25:52
Speaker 1: and fifty suspicious reports. What are these suspicious reports? Would
25:57
Speaker 1: why would they be suspicious? What triggers that do we
26:00
Speaker 1: know about them? Well, the Treasury Department enlists of banking
26:04
Speaker 1: institutions to help them notify or recognize potential money laundering,
26:10
Speaker 1: other illegal and illicit to financial transactions, and these are
26:14
Speaker 1: very sensitive reports. Again, suspicious does not necessarily mean criminal,
26:19
Speaker 1: and so they have to be handled sensitively. Our own
26:22
Speaker 1: report relied on what we referred to as Treasury records.
26:28
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is is Hunter Biden
26:30
Speaker 1: was well aware of the fact that his activities were
26:33
Speaker 1: red flags and certainly could have triggered suspicious activity reports
26:37
Speaker 1: to the Treasury Department. Some extual reporting by the Washington
26:41
Speaker 1: Examiner talks about again, this is information off of his
26:44
Speaker 1: own laptop. And by the way, you notice what Senator
26:48
Speaker 1: Johnson's saying here. He's saying, Joe Biden, James Biden, Hunter Biden,
26:53
Speaker 1: they weren't afraid, they weren't worried about any of this.
26:57
Speaker 1: They knew they were being flagged, and they kept going.
27:00
Speaker 1: Because when your dad's the vice president or running for
27:03
Speaker 1: president or becomes the president, how you can even be
27:07
Speaker 1: so brazen as to sell oil to communist China that's
27:11
Speaker 1: meant to actually make the price of oil go down
27:13
Speaker 1: in America from arthtrgicalal reserves. If they'll do that, there's
27:17
Speaker 1: nothing they won't do. And by the way, there's no
27:19
Speaker 1: way that people in the federal government didn't know that
27:22
Speaker 1: it was going to the company that has ownership right,
27:28
Speaker 1: that has actual ownership in the Biden family in it.
27:32
Speaker 1: That's exactly why I said it's a Biden crime family.
27:38
Speaker 1: What's even more odd or unique interesting, depending on how
27:44
Speaker 1: you look at it, is apparently Joe Biden must have
27:47
Speaker 1: rewarded Hunter Biden for his hard work selling a million
27:51
Speaker 1: barrels of oil to the Chinese Communist Party, which will
27:54
Speaker 1: then have it come back into his bank account. Because
27:57
Speaker 1: he was sitting in front row this week of the
27:58
Speaker 1: White House. I hadn't seen the guy in a while.
28:00
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Joe Biden's got a hunter sit
28:03
Speaker 1: in front row at the White House for the Congressional
28:06
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor awards that he was giving out, even
28:09
Speaker 1: though he put some of them on backwards on people,
28:11
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that right totally. This guy is totally in
28:14
Speaker 1: charge of everything right now. So if you just look
28:19
Speaker 1: at this and the Grand Scheme and see where we
28:22
Speaker 1: are right now, here's what we know. We know the
28:26
Speaker 1: administrations giving money to terrorists organizations again and the Palestinians.
28:32
Speaker 1: We know that the administration's giving our oil to the
28:34
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. We know that his sons invested in
28:39
Speaker 1: the same company we sent the oil two and we
28:43
Speaker 1: know that the President knightsts America is going overseas to
28:46
Speaker 1: beg for more oil production from Saudi Arabia, begging them
28:51
Speaker 1: two up there because he refuses to do what we
28:54
Speaker 1: need to do in America to protect our own interests.
28:58
Speaker 1: Which brings me back to what Tugger crawl said. He said,
29:01
Speaker 1: from this standpoint, he believes the president should be impeached,
29:05
Speaker 1: and he's right. The president's working against us and against
29:09
Speaker 1: our national interests and against our safety and security as
29:14
Speaker 1: a country. Isn't that a reason to actually impeach the
29:17
Speaker 1: president of the United States of America. So let's go
29:23
Speaker 1: back to the commentary that I had for you a
29:26
Speaker 1: moment ago, and I think it was spot on this
29:30
Speaker 1: commentary from Tugger Carlson as he was talking about just
29:34
Speaker 1: how messed up all of this actually is. Take a listen. Yet, suddenly, strangely,
29:40
Speaker 1: the United States is suddenly experiencing shortages of both food
29:43
Speaker 1: and energy, and that's why prices of these things have
29:46
Speaker 1: risism because we don't have enough of them. How did
29:48
Speaker 1: that happen? You should know if you care about the
29:51
Speaker 1: future of America, your children's future, you need to know
29:53
Speaker 1: how this happened. Well, Joe Biden offered his explanation of
29:58
Speaker 1: how it happened today at an event in Ohio. Watch,
30:01
Speaker 1: we made incredible commence on the progress on the economy
30:05
Speaker 1: from where we were a year and a half ago.
30:07
Speaker 1: We got a long way to go because of inflation,
30:09
Speaker 1: because of the I call it the Putin tax increase
30:14
Speaker 1: put because of gasoline and all that Grainiti's keeping from
30:18
Speaker 1: being able to get to the market. It's just embarrassing.
30:22
Speaker 1: O's grotesque, actually, and at this point is dangerous, and
30:25
Speaker 1: no one believes a word of it because it's provably untrue.
30:28
Speaker 1: And we feel, since this is a news network, a
30:31
Speaker 1: moral responsibility to prove that it's untrue. So here we go.
30:33
Speaker 1: Months before the war in Ukraine began, and somehow Vladimir
30:37
Speaker 1: Putin secretly seized control of gas prices in the United States.
30:40
Speaker 1: How did he do that? Before any of that happened?
30:42
Speaker 1: The magic happened, So were people. A petroleum analysis firm
30:46
Speaker 1: called gas Buddy decided to a simple calculation. They wanted
30:48
Speaker 1: to put rising gas prices in context. Here's what they
30:51
Speaker 1: did math. They determined every year over year price changing
30:55
Speaker 1: gasoline prices in the United States going back to two
30:58
Speaker 1: two twenty years, and they found this from November of
31:01
Speaker 1: twenty twenty to November of twenty twenty one, that would
31:04
Speaker 1: be roughly from election day to the end of Joe
31:06
Speaker 1: Biden's first year running in the country, gas prices in
31:10
Speaker 1: the United States went up by more than sixty six
31:12
Speaker 1: percent that was the single highest year over year increase
31:16
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two, which happens to be the
31:18
Speaker 1: year that government started tracking those data. Now this happened
31:23
Speaker 1: before Russia invaded Ukraine. Why did it happen? Super simple.
31:30
Speaker 1: Joe Biden on the campaign trail told us he was
31:33
Speaker 1: like superman, and then he proceeded to jump off the garage.
31:36
Speaker 1: He told us he was going to end fossil fields.
31:39
Speaker 1: And because no one took him seriously, because he's senile
31:40
Speaker 1: and wasn't actually going to win, no one followed up
31:43
Speaker 1: with what are you insane? How are you going to
31:45
Speaker 1: do that? And so he kept going and then he
31:47
Speaker 1: became president somehow, and then he followed through on that promise.
31:50
Speaker 1: He canceled pipelines, he terminated will and gas leases, he
31:53
Speaker 1: rejoined the Paris Climate agree without explaining why we should.
31:56
Speaker 1: And by the way, if the climate is such a crisis,
32:00
Speaker 1: an existential crisis, and China and India are using more
32:03
Speaker 1: fossil fuels than they did ten years ago and nobody
32:06
Speaker 1: says anything about it, maybe they're not really sincere about
32:08
Speaker 1: this global warming thing. And then on top of all
32:11
Speaker 1: of that, Joe Biden pumped trillions more dollars into the
32:14
Speaker 1: US economy, thereby devaluing the US dollar, making everything, including energy,
32:18
Speaker 1: more expensive. You know what happened, That's all true, and
32:21
Speaker 1: it was done on purpose. It was Listen to this,
32:25
Speaker 1: Listen to this closing argument. He said, it was all
32:28
Speaker 1: done on purpose, which is exactly what I've been telling
32:31
Speaker 1: you for months. Tucker is saying it brilliantly here, because
32:35
Speaker 1: he's right. It's what I've been telling you. It's what
32:37
Speaker 1: many concern has been waiving this flag saying, listen, this
32:41
Speaker 1: is all not an accident. This is all being done
32:43
Speaker 1: on purpose, because when you are weak, they are strong,
32:47
Speaker 1: and that's how communists takeover was done to change our
32:54
Speaker 1: energy supply from what is cheap, efficient and the source
32:58
Speaker 1: of all of our wealth to something that Biden and
33:01
Speaker 1: his donor's control, the green economy, that will make us poor,
33:05
Speaker 1: and that is in fact causing famine around the world
33:08
Speaker 1: right now. So that's what happened. As a political matter,
33:11
Speaker 1: since this is still sort of a democracy, it happened
33:13
Speaker 1: way too fast and scared the hell out of people,
33:15
Speaker 1: and Poles showed that Democrats and Republicans, no matter who
33:18
Speaker 1: they voted for, were worried above all about rising energy
33:21
Speaker 1: prices because it hurt them directly every single day. And
33:25
Speaker 1: by the time Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, the Biden administration
33:28
Speaker 1: had found a skakecoat. Maybe that's why they encouraged him
33:30
Speaker 1: to do it in the first place, which they did.
33:32
Speaker 1: So Joe Biden started yelling, it's Poten's pricey potent did it.
33:36
Speaker 1: But it's so dumb, It's so provably untrue that no
33:40
Speaker 1: one believed it, even people who wanted to believe it.
33:43
Speaker 1: People have voted for Biden, who want windmills and solar firms.
33:46
Speaker 1: They couldn't believe it because it's absurd and an election year,
33:49
Speaker 1: that's a huge problems. So the administration had to do something.
33:54
Speaker 1: That's why in late March, in an act of desperation,
33:58
Speaker 1: Biden did maybe the worst thing that he has done
34:00
Speaker 1: since becoming president, and that's saying a lot. He started
34:03
Speaker 1: to sell off one of this country's most important natural resources,
34:07
Speaker 1: one of our most valuable assets. It's called the Strategic
34:09
Speaker 1: Petroleum Reserve the SPR. It's controlled by the Department of Energy.
34:14
Speaker 1: So what Biden could have done is produced more oil domestically,
34:18
Speaker 1: but that would have been too easy and too good
34:21
Speaker 1: for the United States and this long term interest. Instead,
34:23
Speaker 1: he decided to do something so crazy and so dangerous
34:28
Speaker 1: that only someone who was intentionally trying to harm the
34:30
Speaker 1: United States would even consider it. But most people never
34:33
Speaker 1: even noticed. Here was his announcement in case you missed it. Today,
34:39
Speaker 1: I want to talk about one aspect of Pruden's war
34:42
Speaker 1: that effects and has real effects on American people. Pruden's
34:46
Speaker 1: price hike that Americans and our allies are feeling at
34:50
Speaker 1: the pump. I know how much it hurts. Our prices
34:53
Speaker 1: are rising because of Prudent's action. There isn't enough supply,
34:57
Speaker 1: and the bottom line is if we want lower gas price,
35:00
Speaker 1: we need to have a more oil supply. Right now, today,
35:04
Speaker 1: I'm authorized in the release of one million barrels per
35:08
Speaker 1: day for the next six months, over a one hundred
35:10
Speaker 1: and eighty million barrels for the strategic from the Strategic
35:15
Speaker 1: Petroleum Reserve. He announces this, and then he sells that
35:19
Speaker 1: oil to China. Don't tell me that's not an impeachable
35:24
Speaker 1: offense when you're actively working against Americans. Think about what
35:29
Speaker 1: he just did. He says he's helping you, while he's
35:33
Speaker 1: helping the Chinese Communist government. I say it again. Download
