• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We have got some breaking news on the House Oversight Committee.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: They are going to be holding hearings on a probe
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and a Hunter Biden family financial dealings. I'm going to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: tell you about that coming up in a moment, but
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: before we get to that, we have some other breaking news.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's very important, and this just tells you how far
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: America has fallen when it comes to protecting their citizens.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They're used to be an idea and a mentality, especially
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in Mexico. You don't screw with American citizens no matter what.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You don't screw with them, you don't hold them hostage
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, because if you do, America will
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: unleash Holy hell on you. Really, this was what it
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: was like around the world. You didn't mess with American
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: tourists and you didn't mess with Americans. That is changing
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: under the Biden administration a week administration. It is something
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that puts all of our lives at risk. When I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: studied abroad back in two thousand and four, one of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the concerns was, you know, hey, are you going to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: be safe? And what I knew was looking at the data,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: was it was very clear, especially after nine to eleven,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you don't mess with Americans anywhere in the world because
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: America will come for their citizens. And it was basically
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like you had a artificial superpower. You had a bubble
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: around you that protected you from certain things like kidnapping.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Fast forward to twenty twenty three, and what is the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: headline saying on Monday afternoon, Well, this was the breaking
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: news when it broke on Monday afternoon that four US
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: citizens were kidnapped by gunmen in Mexico. The government is
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: now claiming this was quote a case of a mistaken identity.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Officials are saying. The American government were now being told
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is offering a reward fifty thousand dollars for any information
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that will give us more about the Americans who were
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: taken and bring them back. I'm glad that we're offering
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. My question is, why isn't it more
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: than that we're spending billions of dollars billions, let me
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: say that again, billions of dollars protecting people in Ukraine
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: right now. So why is it that we're only offering
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand for Americans when they are taken hostage in Mexico.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Here is how the breaking news when it first broke
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: was reported on CNN. Four American citizens are missing right
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: now after being kidnapped at gunpoint in Mexico, and the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: FBI is asking for help over it all. The FBI
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: says that they were last seen on Friday when armed
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: gunmen forced them from the minivan that they were driving
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in that they were traveling in. Rosa. Flores is tracking
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this for US from Houston, she joins US. Now, Rosa,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Mexico's president is now reacting to the kidnapping. What's he saying?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You know what he is saying, Kate will send ripples
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: through the community at South Texas because of what he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is referring to the president of Mexico saying that these
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: four US citizens were actually buying medicine in Mexico. Now,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I can tell you from growing up in this area
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that that is very common. People in that area of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: South Texas go into Mexico to do just that all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the time. They do that. They cross over to go
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: see the dentists, they buy medicine, they buy fruits, whatever
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it is. They cross over for that reason. Here's what
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the president of Mexico is saying. He says they are
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: people from the United States referring to the US citizens.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The information we have is that they crossed the border
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to buy medicines in Mexico. There was a confrontation between
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: groups and they were detained. By the word detained, he
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: means kidnapped by a criminal organization in Mexico by these
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: groups that had this confrontation. Now, according to the FBI,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: these four US citizens crossed over from Brownsville to Matamoto's,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Mexico on Friday, and shortly after they crossed, there was
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: some sort of gunfire and then the passengers and the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: individuals in that white minivan with North Carolina plates were
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: then taken by the individuals unnamed individuals and were taken
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: away from the scene. Now we've obtained photos that we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: will show you later that show this confrontation. They show
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that some sort of collision happened shortly after the white
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: minivan entered Matamoto's, Mexico. But we are working on all
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: these details, Kate. We know that the FBI has set
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: up a fifty thousand dollar reward asking for information and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of course for the arrest of the individuals or responsible
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for this, and they are cooperating with Mexican authorities and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the four US citizens at this point have not been identified.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So for US citizens assaulted and kidnaped by gunmen in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: northeastern Mexico on Friday, we don't hear about it till Monday.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Why did it take so long for US officials to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that this had happened, because they were probably trying
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to keep it quiet. The Biden administration putting Americans last,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Ukrainians first, Right, the Americans are believed to have been
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: targeted quote by mistake, and we're not the intent of victims. Okay, fine,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, then why haven't they been let
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: go yet? That's the other question. Mexican president also offered
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a similar explanation, as he said, the information we have
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is that they crossed the border to buy medicines in Mexico.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: There was a confrontation between groups and they were detained.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The whole government's working on it. The missing Americans who
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: were not identified, drove, as they said, in a white
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: minivan with North Carolina plates. The FBI in San Antonio
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: has confirmed. Then they were fired upon by unidentified government
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and we're placing a vehicle and taken from the scene
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: by these armed men. Now the FBI has come out.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And this is the other part that is honestly troubling
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to me is the act that the public's help they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: need desperately in finding these men. Are these four Americans,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and the agencies announced a reward of just fifty thousand
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: dollars to the return. So if you take fifty thousand dollars,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you're basically saying that an American is worth twelve thousand
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and five hundred. That's less than the average illegal immigrant
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: gets an American aid when they cross in their country.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Let me say that again, the average aid that an
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrant will receive when coming into the United States
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: America is less than twelve thousand, or is more than
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the twelve thousand, five hundred dollars that the FBI is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: willing to offer per American taken and shot at in Mexico.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: If you think the Biden administration is putting you first,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: or Americans first, you're wrong. All right, Before I get
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: into that, I want to talk to you real quick
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: about our friends over at Patriot Mobile. They are now
• 6:51

• 7:55
  Speaker 1: That's eight seven eight Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. Now,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this goes back to this campaign that's going to be
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: coming up in this election. One of the things that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump made very clear is that he was an
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: American first president you really think Donald Trump would only
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: offer twelve thousand, five hundred dollars for Americans missing who've
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: been taken hostage in Mexico. Where's the When are we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: going to get a very strong response from the President
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America on this? Now, Joe
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Biden has come out and he has talked today, but
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he wasn't talking about this at all. In fact, he
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: talked over the weekend. Did he talk about this? No,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he did not. Why didn't he talk about it? That's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: another question that we should be asking now. Why didn't
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the President Unit States America hold an important press conference
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and make it clear and send a message to the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: hostage takers in Mexico that you've got about eight hours
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to give us the American systens back, and if you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: do not, we will underleash holy hell on any group
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: tied and or associated to the kidnapping of these American
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: citizens in Mexico, because then the Mexican government would have
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to get even more involved because they'd be afraid about this.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: What is the president talking about today? I'll tell exactly
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about. Biden telling a crowd today quote
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that fundamental rights to vote remains under assault. Speaking at
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the fifty or eighth anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the violent
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: attack on black civil rights marchers by police and Selma, Alabama,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and the President instead was talking about this today, not
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: about the Americans taken in Mexico. The rights to vote,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to have your vote counted as the threshold of democracy
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: at liberty. With it, anything's possible. Without it. Without that right,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: nothing is possible. And this fundamental right remains under assault.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: We know that we must get the votes in Congress
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the Freedom to Vote Act. I made it clear I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: will not let a filibuster have struck the sacred right
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to vote. There's your President of the United States of
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: America not talking about the Americans that are missing, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: he had an opportunity. I have been sent the video
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: by the way of the four US citizens that were
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: kidnapped in northern Mexico border city after government opened fire
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: on their vehicle. No one is helping them. The men
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: jump out of what is a four door It looks
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: like a Chevy truck, nice newer truck, drag these American
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: hostages into the back of the bed of that truck.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Nobody gets out their car, No one tries to stop
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: these people, and it actually does not look like they're
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: rushing that hard. Welcome to Mexico. But the President of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the United States of America still has said nothing. At
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the point where I am recording this, he had said
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: nothing so far about these American hostages. Now what did
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: He also had to say today to day at a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: union firefighter event, he had this to say about his diagnosed.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: This was something that was cut off his head, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I had these terrible headaches. Was diagnosed with having a anyway.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: They had to take the top of my head off
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of times, see if I had a brain?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Had it take my head off a couple of times
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to see if I had a brain. If you want
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to know how bad the cognitive decline is that the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: President Nitis of America. He just said that he was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: decapitated a couple of times to see if he had
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a brain. And I had these terrible headaches. Was diagnosed
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: with having a anyway. They had to take the top
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of my head off a couple of times, see if
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I had a brain, See if I had a brain.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's the president nitis America. That's not edited. There's no
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: special clipping there. That is him and his real words
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: right there. Had to take his head off a couple
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of times. Now. The White House Press Secretary was also
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: asked about these Americans right like, it's kind of important, um,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and the White House Press Secretary had a very quiet,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: simple answer today about these Americans. Thank you. I wanted
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to follow out on the issue about the foyer and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: US citizens can not be in Mexico. Has it presented?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Been informed? What was his reaction? I can tell you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the President is aware and has been informed. That's encouraging,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I can tell you that the president has
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: been informed. He's aware. That's it right, The President is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: aware and has been informed. Well, that's the same president
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: just told us he's has head cut off a couple
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: of times the past week to make sure there was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a brain. So I'm not sure if it's if I'm
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: one of the family members or one of the hostages
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: or the hostage that I feel very good right now
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about what you're doing at this White House to bring
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: me home. In fact, at this point I would almost
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: be calling Mexico and begging those in Mexico to do
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: something about this, because that seems to be the only
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: thing now because again the president's aware and has been
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: informed about the four US citizens that have been kidnapped.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But that's it. Nothing else. Why is the president not
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: acting right now? Well, Joe Biden said, the Washington Post
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: report that I'm considering deporting non Mexicans to Mexico recently
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is completely wrong. He said, that's in that Telemundo special
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and he hasking about the reporting that today in the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Washington Post they say that your administration has been negotiating
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to deport massively non Mexican immigrants to Mexico. Now, DHS
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: has denied this claims, but have you been having this conversation,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: sir No, So the reporting is completely wrong, but you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: just said it's completely wrong. Guess So, what's the what's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the policy that your administration is going to have? In
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the policy A title forty twos lifted. Well, well, tom
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: police we're having is if in fact, first of all,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we engage the pro policy for those five Nicaragua or
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Salvador Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba, and the immigration the number of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: people come in as declined over because there's a there's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a regular path to do it now. And what we're
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: trying to do is, I'm making sure that we make
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: ask the Congress to provide us more security at the border.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Number one, more more agents, number one two, number three,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: more sophisticated machinery. For example, we have these basically movie
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: next ray machines. You can expect about everything. Well, we
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: need about fifty four, then we have fifteen. We should
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: pay to get them done. So we can and we
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: can we can uncover the fentanyl coming in the country
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and people being smuggled and says a lot we can do.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So just to be clear, you're not considering and you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't consider deporting massively none Mexican immigrants to Mexico. I'm
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: saying we have not done that. You consider it in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the future once Title forty two is lifted. I don't
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: think we have to do that. We have to consider that. Okay,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So let's just recap. We have a president today that
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: refused to talk about the four American hostages in Mexico.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: We have video of these four American hostages being taken,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and it's a brutal abduction. There's a good chance that
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: some of them may have been shot in the abduction.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: We just don't know. We have headlines reading shocking video
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: shows four Americans kidnapped to Mexico after a shoot out.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: There's a very good chance that some of them could
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have been hit. And we have a president that's refusing
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to talk about this issue, and we have a White
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: House that's refusing to talk about this issue. As the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Americans are being dragged into and they are being dragged
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: as this video was released, as I got my hands
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: on it earlier. They were dragged into the back of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the car, thrown into the back of the car. There's
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a woman who is thrown into the back of the car.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this in real time and my blood is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: bowling right now because I'm witnessing this happen and these
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: are Americans, and not once as the President come out
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and should have had a press conference and said, let's
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: be clear to the men seen in this video, we
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: will hunt you down, we will find you, you will
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: be killed if you do not release the Americans that
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you have kidnapped. Another headline coming out of the Washington
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: or excuse me the New York Post is entitled this
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: way distressing video merge showing the moment four kidnapped. You
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: assistants were forced in the back of a pickup truck
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: after being shot at in Mexico in a possible case
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of mistaken identity. And I'm not even sure I believe
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: this administration on that to be fully, to be totally
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: honest with you. The US Embassy quote in Mexico finally
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: reported late on Sunday that the Americans had crossed the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: border into the crime Britain city in a white minivan
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: with North Carolina license plates Friday and soon after came
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: under fire. Video that purports to show the Americans kidnapping
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: features men wearing bulletproof vests, dragging a person across the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: ground and roughly pushing a woman into the flatbed of
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a white pickup truck. The suspects then grabbed two men
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: who appear to be wounded or dead, and tossed their
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: bodies into the same flatbed. It was not immediately known
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: where the four captives were taken or in what condition.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Their names have not been released as of today. US
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: officials familiar with the incident told CNN that the Americans
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: were attacked by mistake and we're not the intended targets.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Get the bodies back, get the Americans back,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that at least we're alive. In this video, other victims
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: are seen lying motionless on the ground and then begin
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: being dumped into the back of the pickup. It does
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: not believe the Assitizans had entered Mexico for criminal purposes,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: according to the source, So what is your life worth?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: If your shot killed, dragged throwing the back of a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: car in Mexico, You're worth twelve thousand and five hundred dollars.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: That's it. We give more money to illegal immigrants coming
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: across the border than that in American benefits. We're giving
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: more money than that to the people in in Ukraine.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Right now, the FBI San Antonio Division confirmed the kidnapping.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: The federal agency is offering a fifty thousand dollar reward
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: for the four people twelve for the return of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: victims and the arrest of the gunman. So you got
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: arrest the gun and not just the return. But now
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: now there's a caveat to this where this took place
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: at the home of a warring faction to the Gulf
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: drug cartel and the Americans kidnapping. There followed gun battles
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Friday that were so fierce. The US Consulate issue and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: alert about the danger. It's not immediately clear, by the way,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: whether the abduction shown on the video was connected to
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the gun violence in the area that had the local
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: shelter in place. Welcome to Mexico, folks. The fbis of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the people in the white minivan with North Carolina plates
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: came under fire soon after crossing the border into Mexico
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: from Texas. US officials of the Americans scene after the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: shoot out. We're not the intended targets of the government,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is what we believe. There are bodies laying on the street.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: We have now pictures of that. There's a very good
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: chance at least two of the four Americans were killed
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in that gun battle. The State Department travel warning for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the area urges US citizens not to travel there at all. However,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: being a border city, Americans who live in Brownsville, Texas
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and other cities in the area often drive across to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: visit family, a ten medical appointments, or to shop. Well,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: now knowing what just happened there, I wouldn't go anywhere
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: close there, And what your president said about this not
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a damn thing I want to get onto two other
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: important issues now, and that includes the House Oversight Panel
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: has just announced that they are going to hold hearings
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: on a probe into the Biden crime family financial dealings.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Coomer announced that his panel
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: will in fact hold a hearing next Friday to spotlight
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the Treasury Department's failure to provide today the bank activity reports,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the suspicious activity reports for President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: as well as the President's brother, James Biden. And this
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the first time we're hearing it be said this way.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Several Biden family associates and their related companies. The bank
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: activity reports in the Treasury Department's custody have long been
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a target for James Comer and the Republican leadership. He's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a Kentucky Republican who is vowed to invest to get
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the Biden family's financial transactions as well as their foreign
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: business dealings. And these these these specific suspicious activity report filings,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: all those requests when unanswered when when House Republicans were
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in the minority. Comer is making this effort now a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: top priority for the Oversight Panel now that he holds
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a powerful committee gavel Comer, and one of his first
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: moves as chairman, made a reward a renewed request to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the Treasury Department on January the eleventh for the bank reports.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: These are known as suspicious activity reports. He asked to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: be supplied with the information by January the twenty fifth.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Comer later sent an official request to Hunter Biden, James Biden,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and a close associate of Hunter Biden four documents related
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to their foreign business dealings. Last week, Coma wrote a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: letter to a Treasury Department official spelling out the ways
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in which the Committee and the Republicans have tried to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: modify their request. He outlined his willingness to review the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: reports in a restricted way and to prioritize the requests
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and accept the report on a rolling basis. Quote. Given
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the amount of time that has passed since our initial
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: requests and Treasury's inability to provide a projected time frame
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: when these Suspicious Activity reports will be produced, the Committee
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: believes Treasury may be delaying its production to hinder our
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: investigation and operating in bad faith. That's what James Comer
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: wrote to Isabella Moore, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oversight
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: at the Treasury Department on February the twenty fourth. Comer
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: sought an email from the Treasury Department on February the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three excuse me that said it must
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: confer with law enforcement partners who may identify particular law
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: enforcement conflicts or sensitivity, and that the entire process takes
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: considerable time to quote complete. In a letter responding to COMA,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the Treasury Department Assistant Secretary for a Legislative Affairs, Jonathan Davison,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: laid out the ongoing correspondence between the two sides, how
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Department is working to respond to the committee's request,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and why those requests take time. Davison also wrote the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Department has already completed significant work to identify and review
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: potentially responsive records. He outlined that it takes time to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: identify and review law enforcement sensive materials relevant to the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: panel's request quote unquote, the Department has consistently engaged with
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a committee in good faith on this matter. By the way,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that's a lie, but Davison wrote it anyway. These are
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the same processes and similar timelines of the Department followed
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: when it received requests from committee chairs and the prior
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Congress that also, I have to tell you is a lie.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Davison added that a public hearing would likely not be
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the most effective venue for an update on the request
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: because it is not a venue where sense of law
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: enforcement materials can be discussed. A Comber has previously pointed
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to these suspicious activity reports is evidence a potential wrongdoing
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: by the president's family members. Such a report are not conclusive, however,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they went on to say in their letter, and do
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: not necessarily indicate wrongdoing either. They also said, financial institutions
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: file millions of suspicious activity reports each year, and few
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: actually lead to law enforcement inquiries at all. You know
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: what the difference is. There were more than a hundred
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: against Hunter Biden. That's not normal. In a statement about
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the upcoming hearing, Comber said Biden's Treasury Department continues to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: make excuses for its failure to provide the suspicious activity
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: reports that are critical to our investigation of the Biden
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: family's business schemes. The Treasury departments Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Davidson, is expected to testify at the hearing on Friday.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Next week's hearing, a Treasury Department official can explain to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Congress and the American people why the Department is hiding
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: critical information. Comer said in a statement, all right, before
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I get into that, I want to talk to you
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: real quick about our friends over at the Gusts of
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Precious Medals. They are different because they will even tell
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: you if a gold Ira isn't your answer, they give
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you just the facts. Now, a gust of Precious Medal
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is all about protecting your IRA and your four oh
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: one k. They're great people a great conservative company. They're
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: great people at a great conservative company. They understand right
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: now that it's crazy with our economy and it's extremely important,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: especially if you're close to retirement, to protect your assets
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: because there's no time to make up losses. So if
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more, then you
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: should take a look at their free guide and you
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: should really sign up for something that I've done. It's
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: a web conference where you talk to a top individual
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: about gold iras and you're four oh one k. Check
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: them out and get the peace of mind that you're
• 26:19

  Speaker 1: to retirement. Eight seven seven four the number four gold

• 26:38
  Speaker 1: ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals dot Com eight seven
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: seven four gold Ira. Now, this is a big story
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and it shows you how hell bent this administration is
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: on covering up their crimes because I think they know
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that if we see what is actually in these suspicious
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: activity reports, that it's going to unload on them. With
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: their credibility, it is going to be the damn breaking
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that we are going to witness. That's what I actually
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: believe this comes down to. There's also another part of
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: this that I also just shows you how corrupt the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: media is and big tech and when they're stories that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: they don't like, how they can help bury them. Now,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: this story is unrelated, but I think it tells you
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a lot about the media. Right now, we are now
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: being told that CNN's former CEO Jeff Zucker, band his
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: CNN staff from investigating what he referred to as the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Trump talking points on the coronavirus lab leak theory and
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: said you couldn't talk about it. Yeah. Former CNN president
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker ordered employees during then President Donald J. Trump's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: administration not to investigate the theory that the ronavirus pandemic
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: was sparked by a lableak in China, calling it a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Trump talking point. According to a new report, a well
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: placed in An insider told Fox News Digital that Zucker
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: issued the directive in the early stages of the pandemic.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: On March thirteenth, twenty a culture writer for CNN called
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the notion that the virus may have started in a
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: laboratory a quote fringe theory. Her colleague Scottie Andrew on
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: April the thirteenth, throwing an article entire entitled nearly thirty
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: percent in the US believe a coronavirus theory that's almost
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: certainly not true in regards to the lab weak theory.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: It included the subheading its origins is up to debate,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't made in a lab. Don't worry, the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: fact checkers haven't marked this yet as fake news. There's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: still much we don't know about the coronavirus pandemic, but
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: virus experts now agree on one piece of its origin story.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: The virus likely originated in a bat, not in a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Chinese lab. He went on to write, at the time
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: people are slowly waking up from the fog, the source
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: told Fox News is kind of crazy that we didn't
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: chase it harder, referring to this reporting. Last week, the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal also reported that the Department of Energy
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: provided documents to the Biden administration and key lawmakers in
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: which it concluded a laboratory leak was likely behind the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: global pandemic. What was SNN saying, They were saying it
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: did not originate in a Chinese lab, and what was
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: seeing in also saying that the virus likely originated in
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a bat which was Chinese communist propaganda, and CNN was
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: out there selling it to you. The journal, by the way,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: noted that all federal agencies are on the same page
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: about the virus origins. Now the Department of Energy now
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: joined the FBI and saying that the virus likely spread
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: VM mishap at the Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: For other agencies, by the way, along with a national
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of natural transmission, and two are undecided is what the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: left has been pointing to say, See, we're not totally sure.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Here's what we do know. The FBI Director Christopher Ray
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: appeared on Fox News with Brett Baer last Tuesday and
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: shared the agency's belief that the virus began in Wuhan, saying,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the FBI has for quite some time now assess that
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the origins of the pandemic are most likely potential lab
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: incident in Wuhan quote unquote. Revelations of the FBI and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the Energy departments belief that the virus originated in a
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Chinese labs come week after the House Select Committee on
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic in the House Oversight Committee launched an
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: investigation to the origins of the virus, something that the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Democrats refused to do for the two years when they
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: were in charge of the House. Now what does this mean.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It's another perfect example. You had CNN, Yeah, the Department
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: of Energy, you had the Biden White House, you had
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Democratic operatives and others who refuse to tell you the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: truth about Donald Trump saying that they believed it came
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from a lab link.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: That's now what we know. Just let that sink in
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: for a second. I'm gonna keep covering the story. Okay,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: do not worry. I will keep you updated. We'll also
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: keep you updated on the Hunter Biden story as well,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and I'll make sure that we also keep you update
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: on the four Americans that our government and our president
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: refused to talk about and is only willing to offer
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: twelve thousand, five hundred a piece for information that brings
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: them home safely. That's how little they think of Americans.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Make sure you share a podcast with your family and
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: your friends. Please write us a five star review and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I'll see you back here tomorrow
