Another brush stroke to the corruption canvas, House Oversight asks gallery owner about Hunter Biden art sales · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: House Oversight is now asking even more questions that the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: White House is not gonna like. They're now connecting dots
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: financially between the White House and Hunter Biden, and the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee is now asking the gallery owner who's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: been selling a hell of a lot of Hunter Biden's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: art for who they were selling them too. Now, one
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of the way that people money launder is through artwork.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Because there is not records usually of who is buying
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the art, you can do it anonymously. Republicans are calling
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: bs and now the Republicans on the House Oversight and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Accountability Committee have turned their focus to the foreign dollars
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: coming in to buy Hunter Biden's artwork and how much
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of that money may be going to the big guy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's art sales are now part of the panel's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: larger probe into the First family's business dealings. The Oversight
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: chairman James Comer sent a letter on Wednesday to George Burgess.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Now he is the owner of the Burgess Gallery and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: he is now seeking information about sales of Hunter Biden's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: paintings and agreement crafted with the White House to keep
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the buyers of the artwork confidential to be clear they
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: did a deal with the White House. That's another reason
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: why it's actually your business, our business, everyone's business. Why
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is the White House involved in keeping the confidentiality of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: people who are buying artwork? Some of this artwork we
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: now have been told has actually been hanging in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: White House, which will up the value of the artwork.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We have been told that Hunter Biden's artwork has been
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in the residence possibly and in the First Lady's office
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: as well. On the East Wing quote, it's concerning the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: President Biden's son is the recipient now of anonymous high
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: dollar transaction, potentially from foreign buyers with no accountability or
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: oversight other than you. Comer said in the letter to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the art dealer, the American people deserve transparency regarding certain
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: details about Hunter's expensive art transactions. Now. The gallery, which
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: is in New York and Soho, has shown Hunter Biden paintings,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: including two solo exhibitions in twenty twenty one and twenty
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: twenty two. The gallery in New York SOHO has also
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: been a place where many foreign buyers have done transactions. Now.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The White House said in twenty twenty one that a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: system quote had been established to guard against conflicts of interest,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with Burgess keeping the identities of the buyer's secret and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: denying any offer above the sale price or deemed suspect
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in order to prevent buyers from trying to gain access
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to the White House through buying the Hunter Biden finger paintings.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I added the word finger paintings obviously. Now. Ethics experts
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at the time criticize the policy for in fact not
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: being transparent while the White House was claiming transparency about
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the buyers, and they also warned that the policy could
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: also backfire in a big way. In fact, the Treasury
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Department had also warned that high value art transactions, which
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: involve a high degree of imminentity and confidentiality, could play
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a role in foreign nationals circumventing US economic sanctions and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: be used as a front to launder money quote unquote,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that warning again coming from Biden's own Treasury Department. Now,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Burgess said in two thousand and one that Hunter Biden
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: paintings could sell for seventy five thousand on the low end,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that's the least expensive piece to a half a million dollars.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: That's hell of a lot of money for an amateur
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in the art business. Who is still alive. Comer previously
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: sent a letter to Burgess requesting information about Hunter Biden's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: art sales in twenty twenty one, but has now said
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that Burgess never responded. The Oversight Chairman requested documents and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: communications between the Art Gallery and the White House and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: or Hunter Biden. Also documents and contracts relating to Biden's artwork,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: any ethics guidelines created in conjunction with the White House,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: as well as documents that showed who attended the Biden
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: art shows and documents showing who purchased Biden artwork. It
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: also requested a transcribed interview with Burgess by February the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: fifteenth of twenty twenty three, So we're talking to just
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks from now. The letter to Burgess
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: marks the second public development and the Oversight Committee's investigation
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to the Biden crime family sense Republicans took control of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the House. We also know that James Comer sent a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: letter earlier in January to the Treasury Department seeking information
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: about any and all suspicious activity reports generated by banks
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in relation to Biden family business dealings. Now, before I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: get into more of that, I want to tell you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: about our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick. If

• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Slash ben that's Patriot mobile dot com slash ben. Now
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we know that there were suspicious activity reports, more than
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a hundred of those reports that were flagged for Hunter
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Biden transactions, meaning that they had suspicious activity the point
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: where they felt like they needed to give it to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the United States government for possible or potential review. Why
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: are we not seeing those suspicious activity reports because Democrats
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have blocked all of us so far from seeing them.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That's also a problem now when Comer sent that leather
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to the Treasury Department seeking information. The reports, by the way,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: do not necessarily mean a legal activity occurred. In fact,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: only a small percentage of the millions of such reports
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: from banks every year lead to law enforcement investigations. However,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: there's a hell of a lot of them that deal
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with Hunter by more than a hundred. He also sent
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a series of letters to former top Twitter executives seeking
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: information about the company's handling of blocking the New York
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Post story revealing information obtained from that hard drive that
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden owned. We have not heard back yet from
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: how that will work with Twitter. What I can tell
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you is this, this is a significant new development. This
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: comes on the heels of US Senator Ran Paul saying
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: not just because of this, but also because of other
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: information that we found out about the FBI, specifically that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: one of the guys that was getting fis a warrants
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: against and framing the President United's America for colluding with
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Russians. We now note that top FBI guy has
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: actually been charged with crimes. Senator Ran Paul from Kentucky,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he went on Eric Bowling Show and had this to say,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: take a listen. We end this because that come from
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a time in a world where law enforcement, including the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: intel agencies kind of leaned towards the law enforcement world
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they were. They leaned conservative, they leaned pro American, they leaned,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know, into protecting all Americans equally. Was there an
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: was there an event or an inflection point where Intel, CIA, FBI,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: atf Department of Justice, I R Was there an inflection
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: point where all these agencies seemed to go from conservative
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: values to far left liberal I think it's swamp fever,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: potomac fever. The ones closest to the swamp have become
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: infected with influence and power and politics. You know, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: play golf with the retired FBI agent. He's a conservative.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Most of the agents that I meet in the field
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: are conservative. They're typical law enforcement kind of people. But
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: then when you meet the politicians the FBI is that,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Director Ray, you see political animals comy, you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: see people involved in politics. God forbid, you talk about
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Brennan or Clapper. Since they have left office, you've seen
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: how far left wing they are. We should have suspected
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: as much with you know, Brennan, since he supported the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: communist candidate in nineteen seventy six. But really it's a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: political class up here that is corruptible and become very
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: left wing. The Peter Strocks and his mistress, these are
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the people infiltrating the FBI at the highest levels. We
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: need a thorough cleaning. It's only going to happen if
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we get a president who gets rid of the top
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: ten percent and brings in some law enforcement people from
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: out in Kansas or Kentucky or someplace, people who truly
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: are law enforcement people, and let's repopulate the FBI at
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the top with real law enforcement people, not politis. If
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: we get a president who reinforces law enforcement who may
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: come from Kentucky. Did you say, did you say Kentucky?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Are people are repopulating the top of the FBI may
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: want to people from Kentucky. I love how they they're
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: messing with Center Paul there on Hey are you running
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: for president? And he laughs and says, no, No, that's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: not what I'm saying. What he is saying is the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: FBI will only be reformed if we remove and replace
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the top ten percent of the agency. Now you can
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: hear Senator Paul who is making it clear there's massive
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: problems within the FBI. And that's a theme now that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I think any American that's looking these stories would agree
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is not an extreme conclusion based on what we have witnessed,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: based on what we are seeing now. Centor Ted Cruz
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: actually forced the White House's hand. This was amazing by
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: making them answer a question about, Hey, why aren't you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: guys rating other locations. There are other locations where there
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: are documents, including the University of Delaware, And there's a
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: lot of documents that your son may have had referring
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden as well as James Biden and others.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And Senator Ted Cruz on the podcast I do with him,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Verdict with Ted Cruz. Now you can listen to this
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: podcast its entirety by downloading Verdict with Ted Cruz. But
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I want to play for you just a portion of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: what the Senator had to say, which made major headlines
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and a big headache for the White House when he
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: said this. Given the enormous evidence of corruption involving Hunter
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Biden and Joe Biden, involving Hunter Biden's selling access to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden when he was Vice president, involving Hunter Biden
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: being paid millions of dollars from Barisma, the Ukrainian natural
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: gas company, and millions of dollars from companies funded by
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist government at the same time that Hunter Biden,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: we know, was in his father's corvette. He has pictures
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: out on the Internet of him driving his father's corvette
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: which was parked, we now know, and it is admitted
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: next to classified documents. The FBI needs to search and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: investigate to determine whether there are any classified documents at
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's home or business. And by the way, the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: next question someone might ask is, okay, well, what is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the probable cause to search Hunter Biden's home or business,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and there may or may not be probable cause. If
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a court and get a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: warrant for that search, you'd have to lay out the case.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: But the question that should be asked tomorrow to Karen
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Jean Pierre is does Hunter Biden object to an FBI
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: search of his home and business? Because if there's no objection,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the FBI can do it. Now, if he objects, that
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: tells you something. If he objects, that tells you, I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: think more than just something. It tells you a hell
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of a lot that's going on here with the Biden
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: crime family. Now this all comes to the top FBI
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: official who actually helped launch the Trump Russia probe. One
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of those that helped with the Steele dossier, one of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: those that helped with the Paisa warrant on Carter Page
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: has actually now been charged with major crimes for working
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: with the Russians. Matt Gates, Jim Jordan talking about this
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: aspect of now the prom with the FBI with Hannity folks. Now, remember,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: let's give a timeline here. We we know for a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: fact that the FBI was warned in August by Bruce
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Orr don't trust the dirty dossier. He said it was political.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Early October twenty sixteen, the FBI sends agents over to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: meet with the author, Christopher Steele, off from a million
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: dollar bounty. He couldn't get the money because he had
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: no proof to corroborate this. By the end of October,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it becomes what Andrew McCabe, the Deputy FBI director, mentioned
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: was the bulk of information without the dirty dossier, no
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: FISA applications. And yet this guy working on this case
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: was the one actually involved in colluding with the Russians,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: right son. The same FBI that spied on President Trump's campaign,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that aldered evidence in front of the FISA court, that
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: lied to the FISA court, now has an agent who
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: helped launch the Trump Russian investigation who's under indictment for
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: taking money from Russia. And understand, it's not just any agent.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: This is this special agent in charge of counterintelligence in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the New York Division. And it's not just any Russian.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: It's only Derri Posca, whose name comes up all the time.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Who was the guy Christopher Steele was working for. That
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: is the lay of the land here, and that is
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: why Matt and I have sent this letter we're going
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to send this letter to get more answers on what
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: was this. This guy worked twenty some years at the FBI,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this McGonagall. So we want to know everything that's going
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on here because this pattern that we've now seen and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the political name to that exists, based on what whistleblowers
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have told us and based on what we have seen,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: has to end. What are you discovery, what are the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: whistleblowers saying, Matt Gates? And what will the American people
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: likely learn in these hearings. Well, there's two critical vectors
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that we're investigating on the Judiciary Committee. First, the extent
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to which our national security apparatus is corrupted by politics
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: here at home. That's where the missile whistleblowers have talked
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: about really degrading evidence that would otherwise implicate the Biden family.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But this story that is breaking now that is huge,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: shows us that there is also a real coercion with
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: foreign cash that comes in and has an impact on
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: our FBI. What we now know is that the head
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: of counterintelligence at the New York Field Office was turned
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: by the Russians, and this is the very person who
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: helped do the intake on the initial Russia hoax. So
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: now we have to determine when that person was turned
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm very concerned that it may have been while
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: he was at the FBI. Even in this indictment, Sean
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: details show he was setting up business organizations in New
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Jersey that later accepted corrupt cash from Russians while he
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: was leading counterintelligence efforts at the New York Field Office.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: There could be real dangerous here to national security. That's
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: why mister Jordan and I want to know if they
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: are legislative proposals or oversight endeavors we have to engage
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: in to figure out how deep this rot goes. You
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: look at the rot twenty something years. This FBI agent
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: they're now saying, was that the FBI who now was
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: clearly working for the Russians. This is a guy that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: tried to frame the President of the United States of America. Again,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that's a really big problem. We should all understand how
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: big of a problem that is. You have the President
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: who sang nothing about any of this. You have Senator
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Cruz on Biden's classified documents saying the FBI needs to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: search the residence of Hunter Biden. Again, he said it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this way on Fox earlier today is he continues to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: reiterate the point. You cannot separate now the crimes that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: were being committed on behalf of Hunter Biden from Joe Biden,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: because they're in the same deals. I believe the FBI
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: needs to search the residences of Hunter Biden and any
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: business offices of Hunter Biden to determine if they're classified
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: materials there. Because if these classified materials in particular implicate
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Barisma Ukraine, Communist China payments going to Hunter Biden, or
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's brother or the Biden family, then this shifts
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: from a political problem to a very serious problem of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: criminal liability and major crimes. And so the FBI needs
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to search the University of Delaware archives, and they need
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to search Hunter Biden's home and business addresses, home and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: business addresses. This on top of now need to look
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: at all of the art dealing that has been done
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and who has been buying all of these paintings. You
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: cannot separate any of this. The corruption here is just
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: so deep, and to put it in perspective, every news
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: channel should have told it to you this way. Peter
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Doocey said it a couple days ago in front of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the White House. This this is the first time a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: sitting president has had a home searched by the FBI,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and the Press secretary insists President Biden does still intend
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to run for president run for reelection in twenty twenty four,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: but they do concede there is no president for somebody
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: running for president after having the FBI search their most
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: private quarters and now it looks like they're looking at
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: other things. We also have a new report out about
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the documents and where they were stored at Penn Biden Center.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Give you an example, The Penn Biden Center had a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: June event. This is while those documents were still there,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and it allowed a indees to be unmonitored in the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: building for access a conference. The Biden Pen Center in
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: June reportedly permitted attendees to be unmonitored and have access
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to all the facility, where in November classified documents were
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: found in an office. Joe Biden maintained it was a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: two day boot camp quote unquote held for congressional staffers
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to promote a working relationship with China on issues such
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: as energy and academia. The Washington Free Beacon broke this story.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: The University of Pennsylvania, which houses the Biden Pen Center,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: had received millions and millions in anonymous Chinese donations and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: facts and Spiden assumed office. University of penn has reportedly
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: received donations where fifty two million from anonymous sources, including
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: from China and Saudi Arabia, raising even more concerns of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: national security at the highest levels the university appends. Close
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: ties to China appear not to cause an increase in
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: facility security for the June event either. According to Washington
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Free Beacon, the two day conference had slack security that
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: permitted congressional staffers and other attendees to wander around the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: building back in June. They had a conference where the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: attendees they could pretty much do and see whatever the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: hell they wanted to quote from the report, there were
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: no posted security officials at the Penn Biden Center during
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the June conference, just regular staffers and attendees were able
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to walk around the center center unmonitored and make use
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of unused rooms for phone calls and other private work
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: during the conference. The lack of security at the event
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: raises questions of whether Biden's classified information at the center
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: was compromised. The Pennbiden Center's lack of security comes as
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the Justice Department and lawmakers have said that they are
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: investigating Biden's classified documents scandal, which was first revealed to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the public on January the ninth, to a leak to
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: CBS News. The Department of Justice and the White House
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: had known about the scanal for weeks and weeks. In fact,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Biden's personal attorney found the documents, they claimed while they
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: were cleaning out the office packing it up on November
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the second, just a few days before the midterm elections,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and they had to deal with the DOJ to make
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: sure that information did not reach the public. It's also
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: unclear why Biden's personal attorneys were initially circuit searching for
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: classified material. The White House and the dj have failed
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to provide the initial reason or cause for the search.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But we do know is this the Pennbiden Center has
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: not complied with congressional inquiries into how classified documents were
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: stored at the facility. That's what we know for sure.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: In fact, some of the classified documents that were stored
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: at the center were labeled top secret, the highest classification
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of classified information. The materials reportedly pertain to Iran, United
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Kingdom and Ukraine where the Biden family businesses had conducted
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: many foreign business deals. Again, Ukraine, United Kingdom and Iran.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Now when you look at all that put in perspective,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you understand now why this is such a big deal.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: In fact, there's also multiple reports now that say the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: White House hid classified documents scandal from you. Remember when
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden said that they were going to be the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: most transparent administration and history. All right, let me just
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: take a quick pause here, and I do want to
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: tell you about our friends that have got the precious metals.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: If you've been saving for a long time for retirement,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you know that you need to protect your money and
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: one way to do that is with a gold ira.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about to telling you about a company that
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I actually use. I have actually worked with, a Gust
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: of Precious Medals. They are different because they will even
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: tell you if a gold ira isn't your answer, they
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: give you just the facts. Now, a Gust of Precious
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Metal is all about protecting your ira and your four
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: oh one k. They're great people, a great conservative company.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: They're great people at a great conservative company. They understand
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: right now that it's crazy with our economy, and it's
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: extremely important, especially if you're close to retirement, to protect
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: your assets because there's no time to make up losses.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: So if you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: then you should take a look at their free guide
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and you should really sign up for something that I've done.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: It's a web conference where you talk to a top
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: individual about gold iras and your four oh one k
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Check them out and get the peace of mind that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you're protecting your hard earned assets when you get really
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: close to retirement. Eight seven seven four the number four
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: gold IRA eight seven seven four gold IRA, or visit
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: them online at Augusta Precious Metals dot Com. Say I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: sent you and they will pay your fees for up
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals dot Com. Eight
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: seven seven four gold IRA. Now multiple reports are corroborating
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that day in fact did referring to the White House
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and the Justice Department had an agreement to hide President
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's classified documents scandal from the American public, despite
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: claims of transparency after it was leaked to the press
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: at least three times. The establishment media report that Biden
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the DOJ agreed to hide the scandal from the public view,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: with likely had they had no plan to disclose it
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: until the scandal was leaked by CBS News on January
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the ninth. If they wouldn't have leaked it, you wouldn't
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: even know about any of this. This was weeks and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: weeks after the initial trove was found by Biden's personal attorneys. Again,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: they made a deal, don't say anything, We'll just make
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: this go away. White House officials are also reportedly suspicious
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: about how Biden's classified document scandal was leaked to the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: press after only a group of White House and DJ
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: officials knew about the violation. So now they're furious about
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the leaker and they're trying to find out who the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: hell it is. Democratic allies are also increasingly frustrated by
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the White House. We're now being told that they had
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the discovery the secret documents from the public for two months,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and even once it was reported, provided only partial information,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: then declared multiple times that the search was complete. The
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: search had been completed, the search was complete, quoting the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary, only to have a significant portion
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: of documents. New documents appear. More documents turning up. They
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: promptly contacted the authorities the DJ after the documents were found.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It's not to work collaboratively to find any other stray papers,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: is what the White House wants you to believe. That
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: cost them in the public sphere because they concluded that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it would be more advantageous not to publicly disclose the discovery,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and they didn't want to antagonize the Justice Department officials
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: examining the situation and ultimately persuade them that the incident
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: had nothing more that was nothing more than a good
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: faith mistake. Quote unquote, The Times reportedly said from the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: people around this this morning. Now, Biden has made it
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: clear over and over again, right on hiding classified documents
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: as his house and garage for years, that he also
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: has no regrets over any of this. I think you're
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: going to find there's nothing there. I have no regrets.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I'm following what the lawyers have told me they want
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: me to do. It's exactly what we're doing. There's no
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: there there, thank you. There's no there there, thank you.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I have no regrets. Early on, Bodien's attorneys and the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Justice Department investigators, it's now being reported both thought they
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: had a shared understanding about keeping the matter quiet. The
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Washington Post acknowledge, referencing the Bid administration's collaboration and to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: conceal revelations of the second trove of stash documents. The
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Times reported the Post account on January the twentieth, quote
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: The quiet cooperation continued for weeks between the AIDS and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the DOJ, and despite the efforts to conceal the scandal.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: The Attorney General Merrick Garland claimed Monday his department had
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: not applied a double standard of justice to the scandal
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: when it's compared to Donald Trump. Quote. We do not
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: have different rules for Democrats or Republicans, different rules for
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the powerful or the powerless, different rules for the rich
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and for the poor. We apply the facts and the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: law in each case is a neutral, nonpartisan matter, Meriic
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Garland wants you to believe. It's also still very much
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: unclear why Biden's personal attorneys were initially searching for his
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: legals illegally stashed documents. The Biden Pen Center, the White House,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and the dj have failed to provide the initial reason
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: or cause for the search. Now, former President Donald Trump
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: believes a double standard of the justice has been apparent.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Regarding the documents found at Marlago. Trump has claimed he
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: declassified the documents before the materials arrived in Florida. A
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: power of vice president might not have Biden lie to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the American people and weaponize the Justice Department, or as
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I call it, the Injustice Department, to go after me
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: for the very crime he actually committed. Trump said a
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: new statement. He said, the difference is that while I
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: did everything right, I did nothing wrong. Biden did everything
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: wrong because he, as the vice president, could not declassify
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and should not have had any of these documents. Now,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: if you're the White House right now, how do you
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: distract people from all of this. I'll tell you the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: headline that it sums it up in one simple way.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: There's a headline that is out there right now, and man,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: does the media love this four hundred million usaid package.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Biden is announcing to the nation that we're going to
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: be giving that money to Ukraine. Because when you need
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a distraction, war is the best way to accomplish it
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: in politics. Apparently, Biden announced thirty one Abram's main battle
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: tanks will be sent to Ukraine. He announced Wednesday afternoon
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that he was approving sending thirty one Abrams in one
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: main battle tanks to Ukraine in an escalation of your
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: support for the war as it nears the one year mark.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: With spring of approaching, Ukrainian forces are working to defend
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the territory they hold and preparing for additional counter offenses
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: to liberate their land. They need to be able to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: counter Russia's tactics and strategy on the battlefield in the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: very near term. They need to improve their ability to
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: maneuver and open and open terrain, and they need an
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: enduring capability to turn defend against Russian aggression over the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: long term. So what did the presidents say? Quote today,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I'm announcing that the United States will be sending thirty
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: one Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he said. Biden did not mention the cost, but shortly
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: after the remarks, the Department of Defense announce a package
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: of four hundred million under a Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Wow.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: German tanks, by the way, also rolling east. Berlin has
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: approved Leopard two's for Ukraine as well as They're getting
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: in on the action. Now, this is going to cost
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: you four hundred million dollars if you're a taxpayer, four
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: hundred United States of America aid package represents the beginning
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of a contracting process to provide quote, additional capabilities to Ukraine.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: The Defense Department set in a press release. If you're
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden in this team, what a brilliant move get
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: us on the brink of war three? And does anybody
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: give a crap about classified documents or the FBI or
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: what's at your house. If you can distract by going
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to war or having or starting World War three, it's
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a pretty smart move. Make sure you share a podcast,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: as we'll continue to keep you updating all of this.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Please make sure you write some five star review so
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: we can reach more people. And I will see you
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
