Impeachment Inquiry gets Worse for WH plus Sen Marsha Blackburn on the Senate Immigration Bill · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The investigation into the President of the United States of America,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: where the impeachment inquiry has just gotten worse for the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: White House. James Comer talking about what they've learned this
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: week as they have been sitting down for these interviews.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Truly was shocking to hear what he had to say
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: about exactly what they've learned. The House Oversight Committee chair
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: reacting to her report as well, and I want you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to hear what he had to say.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that first of all, the Oversight Committee
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: deserves a lot of credit because we were the ones
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: that launched the investigation into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: And I always believed that Merrick Garland appointed her as
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: special counsel to try to protect Joe Biden from the
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: House Oversight Committee. We weren't investigating Joe Biden from missaidling
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: classified documents because he was old and SENI We were
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: investigating because we suspected that he had documents in there
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: from China and Ukraine. Now what the report came out
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and said. Obviously, it talked about his cognitive decline that
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: we've all seen, but it also mentioned different emails and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: documents in there that did pertain to Ukraine in China.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: That's the whole basis of our investigation, man, because of
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: all the money's families taken from those two adversarial countries.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So I think one of the things that came out
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: and it didn't really come out. So it's a three
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: hundred and eighty five page document, but one of the
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: things in the White House had some flunky talking about how.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The report was wrong.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: One of the things that had happened is that Biden
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: talks to I think an author of a book that
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: was being written or something to that effect, and he
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: admits to having classified documents in his possession and in
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: his home. Here's the question, can you subpoena that testimony
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: or whatever the interview was. We want to hear what
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Biden admits to on tape, and for some reason it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: now being held behind closed doors.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we took steps today to start that process.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Before you can issue a subpoena that will be that
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: will hold up in court, you have to show a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: good faith effort to get what you're requesting. So we've
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: sent our first letter, we'll probably send a second letter
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and that'll be Jim Jordan and myself. Then we'll be
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: in a position to issue the subpoena that will win
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: in court. Look, this isn't over. The Democrats want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: say it's over, it's not over. We need to know
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: what exactly the transcripts say, to know the level of
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: mishandling of these classified documents, who he mishandled them with,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: what part his son was involved with this, if her
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: even asked about his son. And we need to know
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: specifically which what documents were involved with Ukraine and China
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and all these other countries that have sent the Biden
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: family tens of millions of dollars. I mean, this whole
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Biden investigation is the biggest political corruption scandal in my lifetime.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: It's all about public corruption. This family's been influenced peddling.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: We believe they're on the take. This Special Council report
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: showed that Joe Biden has not been truthful with American
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: people about these documents, and the documents are center to
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: our investigation. So we're going to do everything we can
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to get the transcripts and to get the specific documents
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that were mishandled. And you know what's funny to me,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: is the media was always crut cry and foul. Why
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: would and Comber issue the transcripts of who he was
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: deposing in the Biden investigation. We issued those transcripts within
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: days of those depositions. You have to go over them
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and both sides and their lawyers have to edit and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: make sure everything in there is correct. The media is
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: not saying anything about demanding to turn over the transcripts
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of this interview because they know this is the interview
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: from hell for Joe Biden. Whatever Joe Biden told her
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: he was having to talk, and he was struggling, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: he couldn't remember anything, and he was just.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Flat out line.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: So we're going to get those transcripts, and we took
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: steps today to begin that process.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: We took steps today to advance that process is so important.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The part there the testimony by the former Hunter Biden
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Tony Bobolinski before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: enough to move forward with impeaching President Joe Biden, particularly
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: after seeing Democrats with panic in their eyes. That's what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: James Comer, who chairs the committee, told Newsmax. He's a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: very compelling witness. The Kentucky Republican said adding that last
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: week Democrats had the report from Special counsel her with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Tony Bobolinski's textimony, they had a former Biden associate say yes,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden knew very well. Joe Biden met with all
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: these foreign leaders. Joe Biden knew that they were working
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: for China, and he thanked Bobolinsky for helping his son
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and brother get their foot in the door in China directly,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: so the President knew they were trying to get to China.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They wanted to do Chinese business. They wanted to sell
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: access to America and have Chinese compromise them. By the way,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: During his transcribed interview proceedings, Bobolinsky, a key figure in
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the present's impeachment inquiry, confirmed previous testimony that Biden was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: yes the product, he was the brand being sold to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: enrich the family. Bobolinski also testified that he and the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: President interacted even though Biden had denied being in contact
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: with his son's business associates. We know now the President
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: was lying to you every time he said it, James
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Comer said, then we're doing everything we can to get
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the documents and other information involved and her investigation to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Biden on the documents and the documents that were stored
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as home in Delaware and elsewhere. Why are they saying
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that because they believe now that the documents that he
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: may have taken that were classified were directly related to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the business dealings that he was having in those different
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: countries where they were influenced pedaling. Wow, The White House
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is now freaking out. Joe Biden is now blaming Donald
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Trump and MAGA Republicans for the broken border system. President
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden blaming Donald Trump and the mag Republicans for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the system and his administration's expected failure to convince Congress
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to pass a one hundred and eighteen billion dollar bill
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: there would allot only twenty billion for border security, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sixty billion dollars for Ukraine, two subjects that have nothing
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to do with one another and should never be in
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the same bill. This is also happening at the time
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: with the White House is now saying that Biden quote
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: isn't considering any executive actions to secure the border, even
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: though he had ninety four executive actions that he took
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in his first one hundred days to delete border security,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: creating the crisis that we're in. The right now, where'd
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the White House president? They have to say, Jean Pierre,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: listen to this.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: The President said last month that there was a crisis
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: at the border, and now the White House is calling
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: on members of Congress to, I think, in your worship
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: policy about politics. In the absence of that, though, is
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: the president of evaluating any executive actions that he could
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: take on his own to address that crisis? Is he
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: looking at perhaps a menu of things, like, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: maybe as the state of emergency or new policies that
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: he can act on his.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: The We have a bipartisan agreement that the Senate put forth.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats came together. There's actually a piece of
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: legislation text came out on Sunday. Folks have been working
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: on that for two months and it is the toughest
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: and the fairest piece of legislation that we've seen in decades.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: There is something out there right there in Congress for
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: them to answer those questions that you just asked me.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: So, no, we're not considering it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The President's not considering any executive actions, even though he
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: took ninety four executive actions and it's first one hundred
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: days in all this to make sure that the open
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that the border that was secure at the time that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: he inherited from Donald J. Trump was completely butchered and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: opened wide up to terrorists on the terrorists watch list
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that could come across to the fetanyl that is now
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the number one killer in this country under the age
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of forty nine and under under the age of fifty
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the number one killer eighteen to forty nine in this
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: country's fetanyl. That wasn't the case when Donald Trump was
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the president either. Now let me go back to something
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: else that happened today that just made me laugh. Joe
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Biden came out and he rarely does this, pushing Congress,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: demanding Congress pass an open border bill. And this is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: what he had to say, with a whole lot of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: enthusiasm and no slurring of words at all.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: The bagration system has been broken. It's long past time
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: to fix it. That's why months ago I instruck to
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: my team to begin negotiations with the bipartisan group of
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: Senators to seriously and finally fix our immigration system. For
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: months now, that's what they've do on working round the
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: clock through the holidays, over the weekends. It's been an
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: extraordinary effort by Senators Langford, Murphy, and Cinema. The result
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: of all this hard work is a bipartisan agreement that
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: represents the most fair, humane reforms and our immigration system
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: in a long time, and the toughest set of reforms
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: to secure the border ever. Now, all indications are this
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: bill won't even move forward to the center floor. Why
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: a simple reason, Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump thinks it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: bad for him politically. Therefore he doesn't even know it
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: helps the country. He's not for it. He'd rather weaponize
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: this issue than actually solve it. So for the last
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: twenty four hours, he's done nothing, I'm told, but reach
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: out to Republicans in the House and the Senate and
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: threaten them and try to intimidate them to vote against
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: this proposal. It looks like they're caving. Frankly, they owe
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: it to American people to show some spine and do
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: what they know to be right. So I want to
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: tell the American people what's in this bill.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: By the way, I just have to stop there, you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: spineless people that are actually trying to secure the border
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: instead of only putting and again, let's talk about what's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in this bill. Let's do that, mister President there's funding
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: for the Ukraine war effort, and at three x above
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: what you're giving for border security. So I'm going to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: ask this question very nicely, why the hell would we
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: want this bill. There's money in there for the war there,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: there's money in there for the war in Israel, which
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with secure in the border. And
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: there's also amnesty in this bill and the ability for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that then start voting in twenty thirty, just
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: six years from now. This border bill is nothing more
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: than a trojan horse for communists to take over this country.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, it codifies open borders. It's in the bill.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It sends a sixty billion to Ukraine that has anything
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to do with our border. It gives taxpayer funded lawyers
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants so they can become American citizens and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: attack America with our own tax dollars. As we fund
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the lawyers of those that break in this country illegally.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's stupid.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It also says we're going to spend one point four
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: billion dollars in this bill to resettle illegals in the US.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That would include traveling accommodations, So we're going to pay
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: for you to break our laws. It also gives illegals
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: work visas, which undercut the American worker and make our
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: unemployment rate go up and wages also go down. So
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: we have an invasion at the southern border now, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the only thing this bill would do is basically legalize
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it and then allow them to vote in twenty thirty.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: You want to know what's in the bill.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That is exactly what's in the bill. This is what's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: happening right now in this bill. And this is the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: reason why there are at least some Republicans in the Senate,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the Senate that got their heads out of their ables's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and decided to stand up to this type of ridiculous propaganda.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The border bill should be a bill that just is
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: about the border. That's it, Okay, that's all it should
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: be about. It should only be about that. The Foreign
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: aid bill, he says, will help migrants under the US
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: legally ninety percent faster. I don't even know what that means.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: But the President also saying that today in this press conference.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Listen carefully to how he describes him coming into America
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: at a faster pace. And I'm just to be in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: favor of this bill for that reason. Apparently, this bill.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: Had also established new efficient and fair process for the
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: government to consider an asylum claim for those arriving at
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: the border. Today, the process can take five to seven years.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: As you all know, I show up at the border
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: and get a bracelet tot to come back when called
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: five to seven years end country. That's too long, it
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: is not ration. With the new policies in this bill
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: and the additional of four thousand, three hundred more asylum
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: officers who spend hours, I might add with each immigrant
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: to consider their claims whether they qualify, we'll be able
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: to reduce that process to six months, not five to
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: seven years.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So translation, we're going to start handing out amnesty like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you've never seen before. The Foreign eight Bill would help migrants,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, that's what they really should be called, illegals
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: entering the US legally. They can now claim somehow ninety
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: percent faster even though they're breaking our laws coming into
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the country. And that is exactly what the President is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: now saying we must do. The President of the United
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: States of America also making it clear today as well,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he says, look, I want to see some movement here. Well,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in fact, that's not really what he said. I think
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that's what he was trying to say. But here's the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: president totally cognitively on par with what you should be
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: when you're the free the leader of the free world,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: making complete sense.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: There is some movement and I don't wanna, I don't
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: want to, I mean, choose my words. There's some movement.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: There's been a response from the there's been a response
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: from the opposition, but yes, I'm sorry from AMAS, but
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: it seems to be a little over the top. We're
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: not sure where it is. There's this continuing negotiation right now.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Wow, thank you for clearing that out, mister president. Were
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: we talking about the border and then we switched to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: amass and we got confused.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: On where we were there.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: There's some movement and I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me choose my words. There's
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: there's some movement. Okay, thank you, mister president. The rest
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of the world gets to see this as it's being
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: streamed live all over the universe. And if you're any
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: one of the world leaders that hates America wants to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: destroy America, just know that they heard what you and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I just heard a completely incompetent president of the United
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: States of America who couldn't put two words together. A
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: completely incompetent president of the United States of America that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what's actually going on. In fact, he doesn't
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: even know what subject he's talking about while he's talking.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That is what you just heard, and it very clearly
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was the White House staff that was having to coach
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: him along from the corner there. This bill not making
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: its way to the Senate for is a blessing. It
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: is a good thing, but at the same time, we
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: still have an open border. What I think is gonna
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: end up happening moving forward is something pretty simple. Either
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we win the White House and we win the Senate
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and we win the House and we save this country,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: or we don't. That's what this election is actually going
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to be about.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Period. Joining me now to.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Talk about all of this is US Senator from Tennessee,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Marsha Blackburn, Senator.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Nice to have you with us this morning.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about what's happening at the southern border,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: but before I get to that, let's talk about what
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: happened overnight on the Senate. Tell us number one, how
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you voted on this and why you voted the way
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that you did.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: I voted advance to this and the reason I did
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: is because we've already sent one hundred and thirteen billion
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: dollars into Ukraine. We cannot get transparency on exactly what
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: is happening with that money. And we basically have three
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: buckets to there. You have humanitarian aid, you have governmental support,
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: and you have military support. No one is questioning the
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: military support. What people are questioning is what has happened
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: with these other buckets of money and what is going
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: to be the accountability on it. And you know, it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: just been hard to get that information. And we have
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: said for months that, look, what we have to do
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: is secure our border first, once we have put those
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: provisions in place, and of course this administration could do
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: it with a stroke of a pen. Joe Biden in
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: his first one hundred days took ninety four executive actions
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: that further opened the border and weakened immigration law, so
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: he could reverse every bit of that. But we've said
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: our border first, and then we can work on the
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: issues with Israel, who have been very very clear in
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: articulate of what they needed and the announced the needed
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: fourteen billion there Taiwan needed money to help them and
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: deterring China two point five billion dollars there, and then
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: we had ten No twenty billion that went to replace
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: our vod In military inventory thirteen point eight billion or
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: weapons support in Ukraine. And there really wasn't any objection
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: to those pockets, and not a lot of the objection
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: to the fourteen point eight billion that was there for
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: continued additional support for Ukraine military training. INTEL the Inspector
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: General to oversee these funds. But when it came to
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: some of those provisions that were neary, that's a left
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: felt was necessary, the governmental support things of that nature.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: We said, you know what, when it comes to Ukraine,
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: you need to have NATO and their neighbors in the
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: EU taking the lead on this, not the US. Text
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: player Sinaert.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: When I was in Hungary, I met with Victor Orban,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: who's the obviously the Prime minister in Hungary, and we
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: were sitting there on his balcony of his office, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I asked him a lot of questions about Ukraine, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: he laughed because he said, what we don't understand in
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: America is he goes, if you think Russia is corrupt,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you've seen nothing until you understand the history of Ukraine.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: He said, Ukrainian corruption says on a different level that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you guys don't understand. He said, what he was laughing
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: because he said, what is so ridiculous is he said,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the Russia, the Ukrainian oligarchs, that the richest of the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: rich in the country has sent their families to Warsaw.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: They're staying in these incredible homes or five star resorts.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They are sitting there and they're making an incredible amount
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of cash.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: It's being funneled to them.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: He said, you guys have no idea that your money
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is not going to the battlefield, it's not fighting the Russians.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You guys are basically just getting straight up ripped off.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And it was.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Laughing because he said it's public knowledge in that part
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of the world. How frustrating is it when you hear
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: other world leaders talk like that. I mean, he was
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: sitting there going like, what are y'all doing? Like you're
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: sending billions of dollars and you're just enriching the people
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: around Zolenski.
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: And what we're saying is and that's, as I've pointed out,
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: when it comes to that military support and the items
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: that can be defined end that them. When you look
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: at those dollars, people are saying, okay for dood inventory,
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: for weapons, support, for training oversight. I get it. But
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: I want to put this all on a limb lease
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: program like I did with Taiwan, and like our government
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: has done we did in World War Two with Japan
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: and some others, and that way they pay you back
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: when they get on their feet and gags. The way
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: to do this, and I have encouraged the White House
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: to move forward to sell Ukraine what they needed. Before
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Russia invaded, you could see Russia. All the imagery was
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: out there from the satellites, how they were bolstering their
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: encampments across the Ukrainian border. Russia Ukraine border. And then
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: what you don't want to do is do the Obama
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: thing of sending them blankets and meals ready to eat.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: You want to begin the process of those foreign military
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: cells and make those sales and handle that before something happens. Plus,
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: you need to be putting sanctions on Russia and saying
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: if you do this, there'll be hell to pay, and
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: say the same thing to China. Now if you go
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: after Taiwan, all of these sanctions. Donald Trump had on
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: you and Joe Biden listed they're I'm going to be coming.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Back at you.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great point.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about our own safety and security here,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: which has become a very important point to voters, especially independents,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: including now Democrats, that are concerned about our wide open
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: southern border. You've been down to the southern border recently.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You've also introduced measures to strengthen our national security and
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: secure our border. Explain this legislation to everybody listening.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: Yes, and what we are doing is seeking a pathway
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: to be sure that we actually focus on border security,
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: not immigration law. And the Democrats would say, oh, you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: no one has good ideas on border securities. They're not
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: pushing forward. I said, here are twelve ideas that would
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: actually do something to sell the border, and I had
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: each of my amendments filed, and your listeners can go
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: to my website and pull up my flour speech yesterday.
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: I went through every one of them. Let's start with
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: prohibit the Biden administration from carrying down existing border wall,
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: and pro hitit them from selling the border wall equipment
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: and portions that are there ready to be put up,
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: because we all know that is something that they were doing,
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: Joe Biden has sold off. So let's say enough is enough,
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: let's secure up border and let's not sell this stuff off.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: What is it looking like on the House side with
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Johnson and when you guys be on to work on
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the Senate and getting something And then what are you
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: hearing from the White House about moving forward any type
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of legislation.
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: Well, of course in the House they are not going
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: to move this bill, and we talked about that regularly
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: on the floor yesterday. Mike Johnson has already said this
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: bill that Chuck Schumer wanted to pass so he could
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: go to the Munich Security Conference, which is this European
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: military conference. He wanted to go over there and have
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: him a big time shaken tale where he could say,
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: look at me, look at what I've gotten done. This
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: is another one hundred billion dollars in the pipeline for
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: Ukraine and Israel. And I said, I think what they
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: would like to hear it's the Munich Conference, is that
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: we are very wide eyed and awake and paying attention
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: to the fact that our poor southern border is allowing
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: people from around the globe to come into our country.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: We do not know who is coming in. We do
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: not know their intentions. We do know that there are
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: people from one hundred and seventy different countries. We do
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: know that you had twenty four thousand Chinese in just
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: a few months come across that border, and we do
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: know that they are primarily young, single male.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a huge concern, especially with the president.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: And I say it's America that doesn't seem to be
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: paying attention at all. Lastly, I want to get your
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: reaction to President Joe Biden. Last week he had this
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: impromptu press conference that was in the evening. I think
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it made things worse for him with this cognitive decline.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Now the majority of Americans believe that he may be
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: too old to be president, and with this cognitive decline
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that he showed on full display Thursday night, they've been
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: trying to protect the president. We've even heard that they
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: try to keep to a four hour schedule. Are you
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: concerned about his ability, especially on national security issues, to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: be able to do the job proficiently at this point
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: after what you've witnessed?
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: Of course, and we all know Bob Gates, who with
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: Obona who do Gate secretured? Repeatedly said Joe Biden had
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: been wrong on every national security and foreign affairs issue
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: for forty years, and so people know this. And you
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: know when he threw this little fit and went down
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: there and called that improperty press conference, I think for
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: so many people, that's cemented to them that no, he
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: does not have the demeanor at this point to continue
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: as president. But a lot of people do not want
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris to step up because they feel like she
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: would be even worse. And you look at all the
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: poland she's less popular than he is. She's the most
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: unpopular politician.
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: In the country.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Well, and she said yesterday in a shocking I think
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a kind of a turn of events, that she's ready
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to serve, implying that maybe she will be the president
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. It certainly wasn't the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: timing you'd want, in my opinion, from your vice president,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: putting that doubt into people's minds when you're already under attack.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But she says she's ready to serve. That's what this
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: election is going to be about. Center is always a pleasure.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your time and well done in the Senate
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: trying to fight against this incredible spending bill without accountability
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: as you described it, spot on.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: There as always. We'll have you back again real soon.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: You got it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Take care.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Make sure you please share this podcast and this show
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: anywhere that you can on social media to get the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: word out.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It is important.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Make sure you pay attention to what Tony Bobolinsky says,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and a lot of this will, I'm sure leak out.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But if there's anybody that the Biden crime family is
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: afraid of their testimony is Tony Bobolinsky because they know
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: what he knows because they were sitting down with him
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: doing the business deals, and the business deals, to quote
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Hunter was buying access to my dad.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: See you back here tomorrow. Have a great rest of
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: your day.
