• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The cover up is in.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: But now it's part two for the Biden crime family,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: with a cover up, this time coming from the media.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: CNN's Dana Bash covering now it's like she's almost on
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the payroll of the White House for Joe and Hunter
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Biden's corruption, explaining away the millions and millions of dollars
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: from our adversaries, the fact that he was selling access
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to the White House by saying, well, look, there's a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: lot of relationships that operate in a gray area intentionally,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and this is just politics, so you really shouldn't be upset.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: The question that Anderson asked about the fact that doesn't
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: it appear chady, does that mean that the President was
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: involved in Hunter Biden's business dealings. No, but we all
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: understand Washington, and we all understand that a lot of
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: these relationships operate in the gray areas intentionally, especially when
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: you have somebody who is either related to a famous
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: person or a powerful person, or used to work for
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: a powerful person. You want your clients to know that
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: you can get them on the phone.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I mean wow, So there it is. It's not a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: big deal. Look, especially when you have somebody who's either
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: related to a famous person or a powerful person. You
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: want your clients to know that you can get them
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on the phone. So she's admitting that what they were
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: selling was access to Joe Biden, that this was influence pedaling,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: selling access to the United States of America. This comes
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: on top of a new bombshell accusation. The Hunter Biden whistleblower,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Gary Shapley, is now claiming that the FBI in fact
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: spooked a coroborating a corroborating witness. Take a listen to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: what he had to say. Again, this is how Devin
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Archers now confirmed that President Biden lied. Okay number one
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and two. Now you have this new whistle blower who
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: is claiming the FBI spooked some of the coroberating witnesses.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: You and Joseph Ziegler came out as whistleblowers and testify
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: before that House committee. Are there others who have you
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: have to come out who are willing?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I think there's lots of people with information that
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: there can shine light on this. And House Ways and
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Means Committee has requested you know those names. We provided
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: those names, and we the government and the people in
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the United States demand that the government and look gets
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: to the bottom of this.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They need to talk to all these people.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: They can't just allow DJ to not give access to
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: to people. I mean, for example, the FBI s to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: say that testified for the House Ways and Means Committee.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: He was he was given a letter the Sunday before
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: from DJ basically telling him not to talk. And you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I know that he could have confirmed additional material facts
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: on this investigation.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And you know, he did confirm.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: That the the FBI headquarters in ordifying the transition team
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and Secret Service, but really that was the only thing
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: that he was able to speak about. So there are
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: so many other people, and we've provided that at the House
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Ways and Means Committee, and we just hope that they
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: follow follow the leads and talk to the people they
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: need to talk to to get to the bottom of it,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: because our tax system and the American people deserve it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Gary, thank you for your time. They may want
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to stay anonymous.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you took a risk coming out, and so
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: did Joseph Ziegler as well.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So now you have the FBI telling witnesses to shut up.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Now let's go back also to Devin Archer before I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: get into that. Look, you did the tough thing during COVID.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You paid your people and pulled your business through the pandemic,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and now doing the tough thing could qualify you for
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a twenty six thousand dollars per employee at COVID tax
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Relief dot org. Government funds are available to reward companies
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: with two or more employees who stayed open during COVID.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: This is not a loan and you don't have to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: pay it back. Look, this program is complicated, but nobody
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: knows more about it than the CPAs and tax experts
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: at Consumer Tax Advocates. The best part is you pay
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: nothing upfront. They do all the work and then they

  Speaker 2: dot org. That's COVID tax Relief dot org. COVID tax
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Relief dot org. Devin Archer, I think has come out
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of this testimony before Congress, probably giving the most credible
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: witness testimony on Hunter Biden's business dealings. Why because it
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was his best friend. He worked with him, and we
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: know this. Many are now saying that Devon was not
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: only guy that looked very credible, but he seemed to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: be telling the truth and also at the same time
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: being cautious at what he said. I wouldn't agree. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: couldn't agree with that more by the way, because I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: sure he's looking over his shoulder at the same time.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But he was involved, he was with him, He knew
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: what was going on. The amount of cash that he
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: was making was directly tied to the Biden selling access,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: which is what he said, is that they were buying access.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear what Senator Ted Cruz had
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to say about Devon, arch of the Biden crime family.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Take a listen to this, Senator. Let's get into Devon
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Archer here, and when you look at his testimony, give
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: me a couple of your big takeaways of what was
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: said that was even shocking to you, just an overall
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: recap of how insane his testimony actually was.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Well, the biggest and most consequential thing that Devon Archer
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: testified to is that Joe Biden has been lying to
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: the American people for years, and the Biden White House
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: has been lying to the American people for years. That
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: when Joe Biden said he had never discussed any of
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: Hunter's overseas business deals dealings with Hunter Biden, assuming Devon
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Archer is telling the truth, Joe Biden was flat out
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: lying that he had had roughly twenty conversations that Devon
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Archer was aware of. That is bombshell testimony because it
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: goes right to the heart of Joe Biden's central defense
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: that gosh, this was just Hunter doing his thing, it
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: wasn't me. And listen, I think the best way to
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: do this is to actually walk systematically through some of
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: the testimony. So Devin Archer met Hunter Biden sometime between
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: two thousand and two thousand and four, and Devin Archer
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: became involved in Bearisma in twenty fourteen when he joined
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: the Baristas board, and the relationship started when Mikolas Lochevski
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: and Vadam Posharski were on the target list of potential
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: investors in a fund that was known as Rosemont Real
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Estate acquisition fund one. He also confirmed that the former
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: president of Poland, Alexander Kwasnyuski, joined the Barisma board, and notably,
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: this same point was in the FD ten twenty three
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: that the FBI prepared, So this is on one level
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: of concurrence between those two. Devon Archer described how he
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: flew to Warsaw in March of twenty fourteen to meet
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: with Kwasniewski and to discuss devn Archer's joining Barisma's board,
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: and he said that he recalled Hunter Biden, referring to
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: President Biden as quote my guy when shown the email
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: he received from Hunter Biden on April twelfth. Now, now
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: think about this for a second, Ben, have you ever
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: referred to your dad as my guy?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: No, not once in my life. Certainly not in the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: sense of like, hey, he's my guy that I'm selling
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: it a hot to the highest bidder in the world.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Right, Look, that's not normal. Daddy was Hunter's business. That's
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: why he was my guy. I've lived fifty two years.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: I'm quite confident I've never referred to my father as
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: my guy, because that's not my business. That was Hunter's business.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Devon Archer discussed Hunter talking about how bringing then Vice
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: President Biden. To be clear, Joe Biden was the sitting
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Vice president of the United States at that time, how
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: bringing then Vice President Biden to Ukraine would add value.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: In the eyes of Barisma.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: And Devin Archer described that as quote pretty obvious if
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: you're you know, you're the son of a vice president.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Now here's an exchange. The Majority Council the Republican Council
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: asked Evan Archer the following. You keep saying the brand,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: but by brand you mean the Biden family. Correct Archer, Correct,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Majority Council, and that brand is what, in your opinion
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: was the majority of what the value that was delivered
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: from Hunter Biden to Barisma.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Archer.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I didn't say majority, but I wouldn't speculate on percentages,
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: but I do think that was an element of it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Representative Andy Biggs chimes in, when you say Biden family,
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: sorry to cut in here, I just want to get
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: a clarification. You aren't talking about doctor Jill or anybody else.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: You're talking about Joe Biden. Is that fair to say?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Archer? Yeah, that's fair to say.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Listen, I think it's I don't think about it, as
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: you know, Joe directly. But it's fair, that's fair to
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: say obviously that brought the most value to the brand.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: So there's a reason that Joe Biden was my guide
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: to Hunter, because Joe Biden was the brand that was
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: being sold. All right, next exchange, Majority Council. That Hunter
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Biden was adding value. His value that he was adding
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: was in part, as you said, his family.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Archer.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Uh huh, Majority Council. And so what is your basis
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: for knowing that, Archer? My basis for knowing that, Well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: I think there was there are particular you know, objectives
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: that Barisma was trying to accomplish, and a lot of
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: it's about opening doors you know, globally in DC, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: I think that you know, that was the you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: and then obviously having those doors open, you know, sent
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: the right signals you know for Bearisma to you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: carry on its business and be successful. All right, here's
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: the next conversation, Archer quote. My only thought is that
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I think Barisma would have gone out of business if
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: it didn't have the brand attached to it. Now pause
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: to think for a second. He just testified to Congress
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: that Barisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company owned by a
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: corrupt Ukrainian Oligark would have gone out of business if
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: it didn't have the brand. What is the brand Joe
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Biden attached to it? So there's a reason they paid
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Hunter a million bucks a year because attaching Joe Biden's
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: name to the company kept the company solvent. Archer continues,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: that's my only honest opinion. But I have no basis
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: for any never heard any conversations.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Then you see the Democrats jump in and Representative Goldman,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: and Goldman who was the lead lawyer for the Democrats
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: and the Trump impeachments, and he's now a baby freshman
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Democrat from representative from New York. He's decided his job
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: is to be Hunter Biden's lawyer, and so he's jumping in.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: He says, what, but that's different than Joe Biden's.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Action because you know Goldman's Representative Goldman's job is to
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: defend Joe Biden Hunter Biden. Archer goes, right, Goldman, you're
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: just talking about that Hunter was on the board, Archer, right.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: And I think that's why Goldman and so Archer it
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: was able to survive for as long as it did.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Goldman by because of additional capital or Archer just because
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: of the brand Goldman.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't understand. How does that have an impact? Archer?
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Well, the capabilities to navigate DC that they were able to,
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: you know, basically be in the news cycle, and I
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: think that preserved them from a you know, from a
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: longevity standpoint. That's like, my honest, that's really what I
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: think that That's like how I think holistically, Goldman.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: But how would that work, Archer?
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Because people would be intimidated to mess with them Goldman
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: in what way?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Archer? Legally? Goldman? Uh huh? Archer.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: So on this line of questioning, I have no like proof,
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: I have no nothing. All right, let's see though what
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: he does have proof with. Here's another line of questioning.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Majority Council, and I want to talk about the value
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: going back to this. It would be the Spring of
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: twenty fourteen Cafe Milano dinner.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Archer.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Uh huh, Spring of fourteen, Yeah, the first one Majority Council.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And since we talked about it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Before the break, if you could just recap, could you
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: say again who was there?
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: This Cafe Milano is the Shishi restaurant in DC, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: there was a dinner. Here's Archer's answer Archer, sure, Keynes, Rakashev,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Kareem Massimov, Yolena Batterina, possibly Yuri Hunter Biden, Joe Biden,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: mind you, Joe Biden's the Vice President of the United
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: States at the time, possibly Eric Schwerrett, Majority Council. The
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: duration of the time that Joe Biden stayed there, you
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: said you couldn't recall, but do you recall whether he
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: had dinner or whether oh, he had dinner? Yeah, Archer says,
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: I recall that he had dinner. It was a regular
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: not not a long dinner, but dinner. Majority Council. And
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: so this dinner takes place in the spring of twenty fourteen, approximately.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: But then, do you recall getting a wire on February
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: fourteenth of twenty fourteen from Yelena Batcherina for three point
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: five million dollars to Rosemont Seneca Thornton Archer to Rosemont
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Seneca Thornton Majority Council. Yes, Archer, yes, and why I
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: remember that is from the other testimony. Yes, all right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: so the Majority Council follows up on this Majority Council.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: There's a wire, an incoming wire to the Rosemont Seneca
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: Bohai account for April twenty second of twenty fourteen for
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: one hundred and forty two three hundred dollars. Soon thereafter
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: there's an outgoing wire which appears to be the next
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: day to a beneficiary of Schneider Nelson Motor for this
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: exact same amount. What was first off? Our understanding is
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: that Novatas Holding PTE Limited is associated with Keynes rashakeev Archer.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: That's my understanding. Why did Rosemont Seneca BOHI receive this
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: one hundred and forty two thousand dollars payment from rashakev Archer?
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: It was for a car majority council for Who's car?
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Archer for Hunter's car majority council. Was this a Porsche archer?
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: It gets a little foggy here, but I believe it
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: was a Fisker first and then a Porsche.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But it was.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Yes, it was majority council for an expensive car archer
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: for an expensive car.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: So, by the way, the brand is very profitable. I'm curious, Ben,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: you've lived for forty some odd years on planet Earth.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Have you ever had Russians? Why are you one hundred
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: and forty two thousand dollars to buy a Porsche or
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: a Fisker.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: No and no one directly connected to Vladimir Putin who
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: are best friends, and that's how they get their money.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: They're billions.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And on top of the fact that Sinater We've got
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: to talk about this, they still have not been on
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the sanction list. While all these other Russian oligarks have
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: been sanctioned, she has not been sanctioned yet every time
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the sanctions lists come out. So if you want to
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: know what you get for the money, the three and
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: a half million, right or the other money for the car,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: apparently this is what you get.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: So, just to be clear, what you're saying is that
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden is sanctioned numerous Russian oligarchs, and they happen
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: to be the Russian oligarchs that didn't pay Hunter Biden
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: millions of dollars, and he is not sanctioned other Russian oligarchs,
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: and they happen to be the Russian oligarchs that did
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: pay Hunter Biden millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: of dollars. Majority Council, going back to the calls that
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Hunter Biden would put on speakerphone with his father and others,
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: can you describe what the other people would say, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: if you can recall after Hunter Biden did that, because
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you just from an everyday American, if someone
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: put the Vice President of the United States on the
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: phone right in front of you, it'd be pretty impressive.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Archer.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, Majority Counsel, and I would think there would be
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: some sort of reaction from those people. Archer, Yeah, I
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: think everybody. I think everybody remains, you know, cool and
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: calm like it was, you know, and then probably called
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: their friends and family and said they spoke to him.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: But you know, the reaction, I don't have any specifics
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: of like people jumping up and giving high fives, but
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: I think it was, you know, a signal that you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: they respected and thought was of value.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Finally, three more lines of questioning where it concerned the
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: objective to get help from DC conversation One Majority Council
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: did during that I'll say, after dinner at the Four Seasons,
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: did Mikolaslochevsky or Vadam ask Hunter Biden to make any
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: phone calls? Archer, Yes, though I was not a party
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: of that phone call. Majority Council, What was the request?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Archer?
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: The request was I think they were getting pressure and
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: they requested Hunter, you know, help them with some of
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: that pressure. Majority Council, what pressure Archer, government government pressure
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: on there, you know, government pressure from Ukrainian government, investigations
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: into Mikola, etc. But it was it was not it
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: wasn't like a specific not a specific request. It was
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: just we were sitting there at the Four Seasons having
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: you know, coffee, and there was there was There was
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: one of the managers for the Four Seasons who managed
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: that property, Vadim. So it wasn't like a closed It
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: wasn't like it was not like a specific meeting Majority Council.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: When you say pressure from the government at this time,
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: were you aware that Victor chokn was investigating Barisma Archer
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: to the best I vaguely, whether it was Shoken, I vaguely.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: There was a lot of pressure initially there was. There
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: was several pressure issues. It was kind of a theme
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: of Barisma. There was capital tied up in London twenty
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: three million pounds that there was you know, a US
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: visa denied and then a Mexican visa, a Mexico visa denied,
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: and then there was so Choken wasn't specifically on my
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: radar as being an individual that was that was targeting him.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: But yes, there was constant pressure and it was like
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: it was like whack a mole in regards to the
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: pressures they had to resolve.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: This point.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Congressman Jim jord And jumps in the request from mister
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: from Mikolis Loochevski and Vadam to mister Biden and or
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: if you said it was to you, the request was
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: for help from whom to deal with what pressure?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Archer?
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: The request, you know, basically, the request is like can
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: DC help? But there were not you know, I'm not
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: going to there was not. It wasn't like there weren't
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: specific you know, can the big guy help? It was
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: always this amorphous can we get help? In DC. Representative Jordan,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: the request was help from the United States government to
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: deal with the pressure that they were under from their prosecutor,
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: and that entailed the freezing of assets at the London
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: Bank and other things that were going on in Ukraine.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Archer, correct, all right.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: Conversation number two, Representative Andy Biggs, So why do you
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: think they were asking Hunter Biden for DC help?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Archer?
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: I mean why, Representative Biggs, I mean, I mean, what
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: did you take away from that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Archer.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean he was a lobbyist and an expert,
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: and obviously he carried, you know, a very powerful name,
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: so I think it was that's what they were asking for.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Devin Archer was able to testify even though the FEDS
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: tried to lock him up over the weekend. Yes, the
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: d O jay did everything they could to come after
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: this witness, sending out a request to the judge over
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the weekend on Saturday to imprison Devon Archer for a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: case that has nothing to do with a Biden crime family,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: so that he could not testify before Congress. That's how
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: bad they didn't want him to testify. Not only did
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: he testify, but Devin Archer testified that Barisma Holdings would
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: have gone under without Joe Biden, saying he was the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: guy that saved the company. Now, let me remind you
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: of who Devin Archer is. Devin Archer is Hunter Biden's
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: best friend in life at that part of time and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: in business when they were in business together, until they
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: portrayed him.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: He says.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, he told House investigators the Barisma Holdings
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: would have gone out of business if if it were
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: not for the so called Biden brand quote unquote, which
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden promoted on cell phone calls with Barisma executives
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to get the family paid. In twenty fourteen, Devin Archer
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and Hunter Biden both joined the board of Barisma. Now
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it was obviously a big deal on Hunter Biden joined
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the board of Barisma, because that's how they funneled the
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: money to the big guy. But Devin Archer, so you understand,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: his best friend in business, was also on the board
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: of Barisma, this Ukrainian energy company with major legal challenges.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: It was also under investigation for wrongdoing. Barisma paid Hunter
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Biden eighty three thousand a month to sit on its board.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: We know that in reality he really wasn't sitting on
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the board. It was just a way to funnel the money, right, Yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: they had to put him on the board so they
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: looked like they could funnel the money without it being
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: quote too suspicious. That's another problem. Devin Archer testified today
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that in December twenty fifteen, the co founder of Barisma
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and an executive of Brisma put pressure on Hunter Biden
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: to get help from Washington DC regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Victor Soken who was investigator Barisma for corruption. Now we
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: know in twenty eighteen, and I played this clip for
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: you countless times, Joe Biden bragged about the firing of
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: that prosecutor, Victor Sookn during an official visit to Ukraine
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen. During that visit, he met with the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: former Ukrainian President Pushenko in Kiev about Ukraine's corruption. Now,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: what did he say at the time. He made it
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: very clear at the time that he was proud of himself.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: He was proud of himself for able to get the
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: guy fired. He talked about it on record at the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Council on Foreign Relations, and he loved telling you that
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: he got that prosecutor fired. It was something that again
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden loved, He loved bragging.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: Yes, I think it was a not II, but it
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: just happened to be. That was the assignment I got.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: I got all the good ones, and so I got Ukraine.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: And I remember going over convincing our team or others
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: to convincing that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: And I went over, I guess the twelve thirteenth time
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: was another billion dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: a commitment from Porshenko and from Yachtsan Yuk that they
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: would take action against the state prosecutor. And they didn't.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: So they said they were walking out to press comte.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: I said no, I said, I'm not going to go
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: or we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: They said, you have no authority, you're not the president.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: The president said, I said, call him. I said, I'm
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: telling you're not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: not getting the billion. I'm gonna be leaving here. And
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: I think it was what six hours. I looked at
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: I said, leaving six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired,
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: you're not getting the money. Oh, son of a bitch
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: got fired.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: He got fired. That is the President of the United
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: States of America bragging about what now clearly is what
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: seems to be a crime that has been committed by him. Now,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: four months after that meeting, not only was Porshenko fired
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: soaken as it was just described by the President, An
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: FBI informant alleged that Joe and Hunter Biden accepted a
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: five million dollar bribe from the Barisma CEO. Devin Archer,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: now confirming that said that Hunter Biden, along with the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: other two individuals involved, called DC to speak about the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: legal situation that Barisma was in. So you got the CEO,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the number two in command. They're on the phone, they said.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: They stepped away to make the call.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: He said.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Not only that, but over twenty times Hunter Biden placed
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden on speaker phone during business meetings with Devon
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Archer present, he told House investigators. Archer also testified that
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell quote
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: the brand. Twenty phone calls also included a dinner in China,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: they say with Jonathan Lee of Boa Harvest rst bhr
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: right this company. Hunter Biden and Devin Archer held their
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: interest in the company through a shell company called Rosemont
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Seneca Thornton. Republicans Investigators revealed it Batterina, the billionaire ex
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: wife of Moscow's longtime mayor, transferred three and a half
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton on February the fourteenth of
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. We also have now confirmation from Devin Archer.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: He confirmed today that then Vice president Joe Biden in
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: twenty and fourteen attended a business dinner with Hunter Biden
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and business associates at Cafe Milano in Washington, d C. Batterina.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: This Russian oligarch also attended that dinner. So you want
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to talk about like sleeping with the enemy, You're literally
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: having dinner with the enemy. The Biden administration sanctioned list,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: by the way, after the invasion of Ukraine, has excluded
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the Russian oligarch bat Arena, and they have still not
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: put them on the sanctions list. So I guess the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: three and a half million dollars gets you a pretty
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: good favor from the Biden administration. Make sure you download
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the Ben Ferguson podcasts every day, share it with your
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: family and friends, and I'll see it back here tomorrow.
