Biden Regime Indicts Trump AGAIN! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has announced that he has been indicted. Yes,
0:05
Speaker 1: the peak of the witch hunt is Donald Trump has
0:07
Speaker 1: been indicted by the Feds. This is political persecution at
0:11
Speaker 1: its worst. This is what you see in countries like Russia,
0:15
Speaker 1: countries like China, countries like Venezuela, countries like Cuba. But
0:21
Speaker 1: it's happening here in the United States of America over
0:25
Speaker 1: classified documents that he had at Marlago for that raid.
0:30
Speaker 1: Let me remind you, Joe Biden was in possession of
0:33
Speaker 1: classified documents and no one has prosecuted him for thirty
0:37
Speaker 1: to forty years from back when he was first elected
0:41
Speaker 1: in the Senate. Hillary Clinton had classified documents. And not
0:46
Speaker 1: only does she have classified documents, she had a server
0:49
Speaker 1: and an outside email that broke the law. She then
0:52
Speaker 1: bleeds that server and had cell phones that she instructed
0:55
Speaker 1: her staff to smash. This on top of the fact
0:58
Speaker 1: that there was four others investigations into the Clintons that
1:02
Speaker 1: were shut down by the deep state. All of this
1:06
Speaker 1: overclassified documents. Donald Trump, I've been indicted. I am an
1:12
Speaker 1: innocent man. The former president United States of America, announcing
1:16
Speaker 1: this on Thursday evening that federal prosecutors had indicted him
1:20
Speaker 1: as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into his
1:24
Speaker 1: handling of White House documents. Trump said the US Department
1:28
Speaker 1: of Justice prosecutors notified as attorneys of the indictment and
1:31
Speaker 1: a statement issued on his true social Trump posted page one,
1:37
Speaker 1: the corrupt Biden administration has informed my attorneys that I
1:40
Speaker 1: have been indicted seemingly over the boxes hoax, even though
1:44
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has one thousand, eight hundred and fifty boxes
1:49
Speaker 1: at the University of Delaware, additional boxes in Chinatown, d C.
1:54
Speaker 1: With even more boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and
1:57
Speaker 1: documents turned all over his garage floor where he parks
2:00
Speaker 1: his corvette, and which is quote unquote secured by only
2:04
Speaker 1: a garage store that is paper thin and open much
2:07
Speaker 1: of the time. Trump said he was ordered to appear
2:10
Speaker 1: at the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday of next
2:14
Speaker 1: week for the start of the federal criminal proceedings against him.
2:19
Speaker 1: He added page two, I have been summons to appear
2:23
Speaker 1: at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at three pm.
2:27
Speaker 1: I never thought it possible that such a thing could
2:29
Speaker 1: happen to a former president of the United States who
2:32
Speaker 1: received far more votes than any sitting president in history
2:35
Speaker 1: of our country, and it is currently leading by far
2:38
Speaker 1: all candidates, both Democrats and Republican in the polls of
2:43
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four presidential election. I am an innocent man,
2:48
Speaker 1: Trump said, his indictment marks a dark day for the country.
2:52
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more, by the way, with what he's
2:54
Speaker 1: saying here. This is so much bigger than Donald Trump.
2:57
Speaker 1: And let me say that again, this is so much
3:00
Speaker 1: it's bigger than Donald Trump. Trump went on to say
3:03
Speaker 1: page three, this is indeed a dark day for the
3:05
Speaker 1: United States of America. We are a country and serious
3:09
Speaker 1: and rapid declined. But together we will make America great again.
3:13
Speaker 2: Now.
3:14
Speaker 1: The exact charges federal prosecutors and died Donald Trump on
3:17
Speaker 1: were not immediately clear. The Department of Justice had not
3:20
Speaker 1: made an immediate comment or confirmation of Trump's indictment as
3:24
Speaker 1: of eight o'clock on Thursday. Trump's apparent indictment came one
3:28
Speaker 1: day after it was reported that an indictment by the
3:30
Speaker 1: DOJ prosecutors would come imminently. It marks the first time
3:34
Speaker 1: that a former president or leading opposition candidate for president
3:38
Speaker 1: has ever been indicted in American history. Mark Levin, a
3:43
Speaker 1: dear friend of mine, had this to say about this
3:46
Speaker 1: indictment and what it means.
3:49
Speaker 3: President Trump was seventy six years old. If the Department
3:53
Speaker 3: of Justice gets his way, he will die in federal
3:55
Speaker 3: prison just by one of these counts, conspiracy to obstruct justice,
4:00
Speaker 3: says a twenty year maximum sense. This is a disgusting,
4:06
Speaker 3: disgusting mark on American history for the future to come
4:11
Speaker 3: by these bandits in the White House, by the Democrat
4:15
Speaker 3: Party that don't play fair anymore. They don't want to
4:18
Speaker 3: just win elections. They want to take control of this country.
4:21
Speaker 3: They want one party rule, and they have used the
4:25
Speaker 3: Department of Justice and the FBI to get what they want.
4:28
Speaker 3: Merrick Garland is a mob lawyer, That's what he is.
4:33
Speaker 3: Jack Reid is a rogue Soviet style prosecutor.
4:39
Speaker 1: Mark Levin is absolutely right. Mark Levin is spot on.
4:42
Speaker 1: And it's very clear now that the Democratic Party is dead.
4:45
Speaker 1: They are socialists, they're communists, and they are people that
4:48
Speaker 1: are filled with pure evil and hatred for this country.
4:52
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, by the way, it's obvious that he wanted this,
4:55
Speaker 1: and we may ask the question why, I'm going to
4:58
Speaker 1: tell you why this all go back to clearly anger
5:03
Speaker 1: that he had back in two thousand and sixteen. You
5:08
Speaker 1: may not remember this, but MPR wrote an article entitled
5:12
Speaker 1: on June the twenty ninth, twenty eighteen, what happened with
5:15
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland in twenty sixteen and why it matters now?
5:19
Speaker 1: That headline could be the exact same headline for what
5:22
Speaker 1: happened today. Their story reads, so much has happened in
5:27
Speaker 1: the past two years that many may have forgotten what
5:29
Speaker 1: happened to Merick Garland in the spring of twenty sixteen.
5:32
Speaker 1: To recap Garland was nominated to fill the twenty sixteen
5:35
Speaker 1: vacancy on the Supreme Court created by the death of
5:38
Speaker 1: Justice and in Scalia and icon of the conservative jurisprudence.
5:43
Speaker 1: President Barack Obama quickly named Merrick Garland, who was then
5:47
Speaker 1: sixty three, obviously a little bit older, on the Supreme
5:50
Speaker 1: Court to fill the seat. Garland had long been considered
5:54
Speaker 1: a prime prospect for the High Court, serving as chief
5:57
Speaker 1: judge on the US Court of Appeals for the District
5:59
Speaker 1: of Columbia, a frequent source of justices that is sometimes
6:03
Speaker 1: called the Little Supreme Court. Widely regarded as a moderate
6:07
Speaker 1: at the time. Garland had been praised in the past
6:10
Speaker 1: by many Republicans, including influential senators such as Orne Hatch
6:13
Speaker 1: of Utah at the time, but even before Obama had
6:16
Speaker 1: named Garland, and in fact, only hours after school his
6:20
Speaker 1: death was announced, the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared
6:24
Speaker 1: any appointment by the sitting president to be no and void.
6:27
Speaker 1: He said the next Supreme Court justice should be chosen
6:30
Speaker 1: by the next president to be elected later in the
6:33
Speaker 1: same year. And that is when we found out who
6:37
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland actually was. Merrick Garland has been angry ever
6:41
Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen. The headline from twenty eighteen by NPR
6:47
Speaker 1: is as true as it was then as it is today.
6:49
Speaker 1: What happened with Merrick Garland in sixteen and why it
6:52
Speaker 1: matters now. Merrick Garland knew, because of his age, that
6:56
Speaker 1: was his last shot at getting on the Supreme Court.
6:59
Speaker 1: He couldn't wait until Joe Biden became president or wait
7:03
Speaker 1: any later, because he would be in his seventies and
7:06
Speaker 1: no one was going to put a seventy plus year
7:08
Speaker 1: old in the Supreme Court when it's a lifetime appointment.
7:11
Speaker 1: He knew that was his last chance and he didn't
7:14
Speaker 1: get it. And whose fault was it? Donald Trump's fault.
7:18
Speaker 1: And if you want to know why Merrick Garland has
7:20
Speaker 1: got on in to destroy Donald Trump and anyone around him,
7:24
Speaker 1: it is because he he believes I think that Donald
7:28
Speaker 1: Trump cost him the Holy Land. When you're a judge
7:32
Speaker 1: and you're like Merrick Garland, the only thing you want
7:35
Speaker 1: to be is called chief justice or Supreme Court justice.
7:39
Speaker 1: It was clear he wanted to be on the highest
7:41
Speaker 1: court and it was taken away from him. And if
7:43
Speaker 1: you want to know what settling the score looks like
7:46
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Communist Party, this is what it actually
7:50
Speaker 1: looks like now. Donald Trump has also put out a
7:53
Speaker 1: statement on True Social I want you to hear part
7:57
Speaker 1: of what Donald Trump had to say on Resocial that
8:00
Speaker 1: you just put out this video. Listen.
8:03
Speaker 4: Just like the Russia Russia Russia hoax and all of
8:06
Speaker 4: the others, it's has been going on for seven years
8:09
Speaker 4: that they can't stop because it's election interference at the
8:12
Speaker 4: highest level. There's never been anything like what's happened. I'm
8:15
Speaker 4: an innocent man, I'm an innocent person. Now.
8:18
Speaker 5: That's what it is.
8:19
Speaker 4: This is warfare for the law, and we can't let
8:22
Speaker 4: it happen. We can't let it happen. Our country is
8:26
Speaker 4: going to hell. And they come after Donald Trump, weaponizing
8:32
Speaker 4: the Justice Department, weaponizing the FBI. We can't let this
8:37
Speaker 4: continue to go on because it's ripping our country to shreds.
8:40
Speaker 1: It's a hoax. The whole thing is a hoax, just.
8:43
Speaker 4: Like Russia, Russia, Russia, just like the fake dossier was
8:47
Speaker 4: a hoax. You saw the Durham report, you saw the
8:51
Speaker 4: Muller report. It was all a big hoax. You had
8:55
Speaker 4: two impeachments and they lost and we won and we
8:59
Speaker 4: had tremendous support. But that was a hoax and a scam.
9:03
Speaker 4: And now they're doing it again. It's just a continuation
9:06
Speaker 4: seven years even half time out. But it's called election interference.
9:11
Speaker 4: They're trying to destroy a reputation so they can win
9:15
Speaker 4: an election. I'm an innocent man. We will prove that again.
9:19
Speaker 4: Seven years of proving it and here we go again.
9:23
Speaker 4: Very unfair, but that's the way it is. I just
9:26
Speaker 4: want to thank everybody. We are doing something very special
9:30
Speaker 4: for our country. We're putting America first. I always put
9:33
Speaker 4: America first, and that's why we were in a position
9:38
Speaker 4: Unfortunately that position is no longer valid because they've done
9:42
Speaker 4: such a poor job. But we're in a position where
9:45
Speaker 4: we're going to make America great again. I'm innocent, and
9:48
Speaker 4: we will prove that very very soundly and hopefully very quickly.
9:52
Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
9:53
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, in his own words on True Social saying,
9:57
Speaker 1: I am an innocent man. I'm going to keep you
10:01
Speaker 1: updated on. This is a story that is not going
10:04
Speaker 1: to go away. But don't take your eye off the
10:07
Speaker 1: other big stories that they're trying to cover up. I
10:11
Speaker 1: do not believe that there is a coincidence between what
10:15
Speaker 1: happened with this indictment and the breaking news that has
10:19
Speaker 1: come out that apparently Joe Biden was allegedly paid five
10:24
Speaker 1: million dollars by a Barisma executive as part of a
10:28
Speaker 1: bribery scheme. According to the FBI documents. That is what
10:34
Speaker 1: they don't want us talking about. Joe Biden may have
10:38
Speaker 1: stepped into it today when he was quote supposed to
10:41
Speaker 1: be walking off the stage, he held on for an
10:45
Speaker 1: extra question. That question did not go well for the
10:50
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America, and he asked
10:53
Speaker 1: a question, where's the money in reference to the bribery scheme.
10:57
Speaker 1: We know where the money went, We know the show companies,
11:00
Speaker 1: we know from the suspicious activity reports, we know which
11:03
Speaker 1: Biden's took money and where they took the money. His
11:06
Speaker 1: response was, where's the money? Well, if he wants the
11:09
Speaker 1: American people to answer that question, our investigators, they actually
11:13
Speaker 1: can take a listen to the White House. You might
11:16
Speaker 1: hear screaming in the background from the Comms Department. Could
11:20
Speaker 1: not believe that the President said such an incriminating thing
11:25
Speaker 1: in front of the press.
11:26
Speaker 6: I'm supposed to walk off the stage.
11:29
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:31
Speaker 7: The reality their.
11:34
Speaker 1: Standing evidence that be out violent. He sold out a country.
11:37
Speaker 1: You response to.
11:38
Speaker 8: The progression Republicans, where's the money?
11:44
Speaker 1: A bunch of mallarkey. It's a bunch of mallarkey. Where's
11:48
Speaker 1: the money?
11:49
Speaker 3: Now?
11:49
Speaker 1: That is a statement that was incredibly stupid, and the
11:53
Speaker 1: reason why it was stupid is because we'd actually know
11:57
Speaker 1: where the money came from. James Comer also has canceled
12:02
Speaker 1: his contempt vote after the FBI has caved. The FBI
12:07
Speaker 1: director finally gave in on the alleged Biden bribery documents
12:12
Speaker 1: eleven hours before the House Oversight Committee would assemble the
12:16
Speaker 1: vote on holding the FBI Director Christopher Ray contempt of Congress.
12:20
Speaker 1: The FBI agreed to permit members of the Oversight Committee
12:23
Speaker 1: to review an unclassified informant file that allegedly links President
12:28
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to a five million dollar bribery scheme Wednesday,
12:32
Speaker 1: evening Comber canceled the nine am Thursday vote told Ray
12:36
Speaker 1: in contempt. In exchange, the FBI finally agreed, after stonewalling
12:40
Speaker 1: for a long time, to allow the members to review
12:44
Speaker 1: the document, a demand on which Comber insisted from nearly
12:48
Speaker 1: the beginning of the negotiations. After weeks of refusing to
12:53
Speaker 1: even admit that the fd DESH one zero two to
12:56
Speaker 1: three record even existed, the committee's in a press release,
13:02
Speaker 1: the FBI has caved and is now allowing all members
13:05
Speaker 1: of the Oversight and Accountability Committee to review this unclassified
13:09
Speaker 1: record that memorializes a confidential human sources conversation with a
13:16
Speaker 1: foreign national who claimed to have bribed then Vice President
13:21
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Representative James Comer forced the FBI to cooperate,
13:27
Speaker 1: and it's sad that this is what it took to
13:30
Speaker 1: get a file, a record that wasn't even classified. Now
13:35
Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee also put out in a statement
13:38
Speaker 1: on Twitter, we will continue to follow the facts ensure
13:40
Speaker 1: accountability for the American people. In May Comber and Senator
13:45
Speaker 1: Chuck Grassley Levy these bombshell claims after reviewing an FBIFD
13:50
Speaker 1: DESH one zero two three form the document of the
13:54
Speaker 1: informants allegations of an alleged bribery scheme involving an exchange
13:58
Speaker 1: of money specifically for Joe Biden to change your alter
14:03
Speaker 1: policy decisions. The FBI informant file allegedly linked directly Joe
14:10
Speaker 1: Biden to the families business deals in Ukraine. The House
14:14
Speaker 1: Oversite Committee chairman has also confirmed this week the FBI
14:18
Speaker 1: file originated from an interview the Bureau conducted with an
14:22
Speaker 1: informant who is reportedly quote a highly credible FBI source
14:29
Speaker 1: with also a history dating back to the Barack Obama administration.
14:34
Speaker 1: Allowing all Oversight Committee members to review this record is
14:37
Speaker 1: an important step towards conducting oversight the FBI and holding
14:41
Speaker 1: it accountable to the American people, the committee added in
14:44
Speaker 1: the statement. Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Tuesday also
14:49
Speaker 1: came out dispelling rumors that the White House and the
14:52
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee ranking member a Democrat, Jamie Rankins, claimed
14:57
Speaker 1: that the Justice Department ended the bribe probe. Guess what,
15:02
Speaker 1: Jamie Raskins and the White House lie to you again.
15:05
Speaker 1: Raskin argued, the Trump administration resolved and informant's claims that
15:10
Speaker 1: is not true. The former Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed
15:15
Speaker 1: this quote. Let's be clear, the allegations contained within this
15:20
Speaker 1: record are not closed, as the White House and Democrats
15:24
Speaker 1: would have the American people believe. Former Attorney General Bill
15:28
Speaker 1: Barr confirmed this information was sent to the US Attorney
15:32
Speaker 1: in Delaware for further investigation, and the FBI has confirmed
15:37
Speaker 1: it is being used in an ongoing investigation. So the
15:41
Speaker 1: former Attorney General Bill Barr is telling you the White
15:43
Speaker 1: House is flat out lying to you, and so is
15:46
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Now let's go back to the issue
15:49
Speaker 1: on money for a moment, because this is also very important.
15:54
Speaker 1: The reason why it's so damning to Joe Biden that
15:57
Speaker 1: he said, you know where's the money is? You can
16:00
Speaker 1: actually answer that question, and now it opens him up
16:04
Speaker 1: to answering that question. We have seen the money going
16:08
Speaker 1: into show accounts. We have seen the money going into
16:11
Speaker 1: more than nine Biden family members bank accounts directly. We
16:15
Speaker 1: have seen the wire transfers. It is all there. We
16:20
Speaker 1: know that it's all there. We know that there's a
16:23
Speaker 1: significant amount of money. We're talking tens of millions of
16:28
Speaker 1: dollars that have come into the Biden crime family's bank accounts.
16:34
Speaker 1: Anyone that wants to know where's the money? As he
16:39
Speaker 1: asked that question, it was a really dumb way of
16:43
Speaker 1: asking that question. But anybody that wants to know how
16:46
Speaker 1: to answer that question should have answered it easily. Should
16:50
Speaker 1: have been able to say, well, mister President, we've seen
16:52
Speaker 1: this million, in this million, and that million, in this
16:55
Speaker 1: five million, this three million, this two million going into
16:57
Speaker 1: your bank accounts. It may have been one of the
17:00
Speaker 1: dumbest things Joe Biden has ever said, and now will
17:04
Speaker 1: open him up to now having to answer the questions,
17:06
Speaker 1: in fact, where is the money?
17:08
Speaker 6: I'm supposed to walk off the station.
17:11
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.
17:13
Speaker 7: The bribery allegation Farmer School and Nancy May says they're
17:16
Speaker 7: standing evidence that bi bile that he sold out a country.
17:19
Speaker 1: View response to.
17:19
Speaker 8: The progression Republicans, where's the money? I'm Joe.
17:26
Speaker 1: A bunch of mark anytime he says, it's a bunch
17:29
Speaker 1: of Marquie. You know he's lying to you. It's one
17:32
Speaker 1: of his favorite lines he uses when he's lying to you,
17:34
Speaker 1: the same way the White House lied to you and
17:36
Speaker 1: said that the investigation into this bribery scheme had already
17:40
Speaker 1: been closed by the DOJ by the FBI. Now the
17:44
Speaker 1: FBI has been forced to say that's not true. Bill
17:47
Speaker 1: Barr has called out Democrats for saying that, telling them
17:50
Speaker 1: it's not true. Congress people who are putting that lie
17:52
Speaker 1: out there on behalf of the White House to back
17:54
Speaker 1: up the White House's lie also now being forced to
17:57
Speaker 1: admit that that is not true. They are concerned that
18:02
Speaker 1: they are losing the narrative for the first time ever.
18:06
Speaker 1: They are concerned that the American people are going to
18:08
Speaker 1: figure this out. They are concerned that there's a very
18:13
Speaker 1: good chance that there could be some people by the
18:16
Speaker 1: last same Biden that go to jail, including the President
18:18
Speaker 1: of the United States of America. And they are concerned
18:22
Speaker 1: now that they can't stonewall like they used to be
18:25
Speaker 1: able to do. This is another example, by the way
18:31
Speaker 1: of what the media is doing. They're trying to protect
18:34
Speaker 1: this president at all costs. James Comer came out swinging
18:38
Speaker 1: against the Washington Post, for example, for pushing the White
18:42
Speaker 1: House's false bribery probe narrative. Today, the House Oversight Committee
18:47
Speaker 1: Chairman Comber slammed the Washington Post for pushing the Democratic
18:51
Speaker 1: talking point and the White Houses lie about the five
18:54
Speaker 1: million dollar bribery allegedly linked to President Joe Biden after
18:58
Speaker 1: the talking points were shut down by the former Attorney
19:00
Speaker 1: General Bill Barr, the Attorney General. Former Attorney General Barr
19:04
Speaker 1: dispelled the White House and the House Oversight Committee ranking
19:07
Speaker 1: members claims that the Justice Department ended the five million
19:11
Speaker 1: dollar bribery prob allegedly linking to President Joe Biden. It's
19:17
Speaker 1: not true. It wasn't closed down, Barr said in an
19:21
Speaker 1: interview on the contrary, It was sent to Delaware for
19:25
Speaker 1: further investigation quote unquote. But a report by The Washington
19:30
Speaker 1: Post John Wagner admitted any mention of Barr's Tuesday statement. Instead,
19:37
Speaker 1: the Washington Post continued to push to the socialist Democrats
19:41
Speaker 1: and the communist White House narrative. The Washington Post reported
19:45
Speaker 1: this week that the FBI and the Justice Department, under
19:48
Speaker 1: then Attorney General Bill Barr, reviewed the allegations and determined
19:51
Speaker 1: there were no grounds for further investigative steps. According to
19:54
Speaker 1: Raskin and other people familiar with the investigation, this is
19:57
Speaker 1: what they wrote in the Washington Post. It's all I
20:00
Speaker 1: it's all made up. This is no different than propaganda
20:03
Speaker 1: that you would find in Cuba or Russia. The allegation
20:06
Speaker 1: the document was reviewed by the FBI, the Post went
20:09
Speaker 1: on to say at the time, and was found to
20:12
Speaker 1: not be supported by fact. That also again a lie.
20:16
Speaker 1: The investigation was dropped with the Trump Justice Department's sign off,
20:20
Speaker 1: according to people familiar with the investigation, again that is
20:24
Speaker 1: a lie. Comer immediately came out and said the reporting
20:28
Speaker 1: is kool aid drinking of the Democratic Party quote Justice
20:33
Speaker 1: Morning ag Bar confirmed that he sent the FBI record
20:36
Speaker 1: alleging a bribery scheme by Vice President Biden to Delaware
20:39
Speaker 1: for further investigation. The FBI, White House and oversight. Democrats
20:43
Speaker 1: lied to the American people. What did the Washington Posts do?
20:47
Speaker 1: Drink their kool aid? Now, before I get into more
20:51
Speaker 1: of this story, I want to say thank you and
20:53
Speaker 1: tell you about our good friends at Patriot Mobile. They

22:07
Speaker 1: were not able to see this FBI document before have
22:11
Speaker 1: now been able to see it. They're now coming out
22:13
Speaker 1: and they're telling people what they've seen. Remember, this is
22:16
Speaker 1: not a classified document. Byron Donalds said this after he
22:22
Speaker 1: walked out from the Oversight Committee to view that document
22:26
Speaker 1: that accuses the President United States of America of a
22:29
Speaker 1: bribery scheme.
22:30
Speaker 2: Listen, this document also stipulates that, according to the confidential
22:36
Speaker 2: human source, that money was being moved through several accounts,
22:41
Speaker 2: multiple accounts, to get to Joe Biden. I must say
22:47
Speaker 2: it again, money was moved on purpose through multiple accounts
22:51
Speaker 2: to get to Joe.
22:53
Speaker 1: Biden, multiple accounts to get to Joe Biden. This also,
23:04
Speaker 1: I think makes it pretty clear. Actually, I think this
23:09
Speaker 1: makes it extremely clear that those who have said that
23:14
Speaker 1: the Biden crime family has been doing this for a
23:16
Speaker 1: decade in those suspicious activity reports completely add up. Representative
23:22
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green also has seen the documents. She had
23:25
Speaker 1: a little bit more to say.
23:26
Speaker 9: Listen, reading this form today shows the pure distinction this information,
23:34
Speaker 9: this source that came forward, it's a paid informant.
23:37
Speaker 1: By the FBI.
23:39
Speaker 9: This has nothing to do with Juliani. This has nothing
23:42
Speaker 9: to do with the information that he brought forward in
23:44
Speaker 9: twenty twenty. It's totally separate, and it's extremely incredible because
23:50
Speaker 9: he's a paid informant. I made some notes after I
23:53
Speaker 9: left the skiff based on the information, and I'll share
23:58
Speaker 9: that with you guys right now. Basically, what was happening
24:02
Speaker 9: there is back in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, Maarisma was
24:07
Speaker 9: looking to buy a US based oil and gas company,
24:11
Speaker 9: and this came from being advised by Hunter Biden and
24:15
Speaker 9: his partners. Biden had told Biden said Shoken was corrupt.
24:23
Speaker 9: That was around the time of this meeting. Was when
24:26
Speaker 9: Joe Biden as vice president had said that the prosecutor
24:29
Speaker 9: Shoken was corrupt. They hired Hunter on the board to
24:33
Speaker 9: make the problems go away.
24:35
Speaker 1: That's what they specifically said.
24:38
Speaker 9: Hunter advised that they could raise more money if they
24:42
Speaker 9: bought a US company. So the informant was trying to
24:46
Speaker 9: do the right thing and trying to advise Maurisma that
24:50
Speaker 9: they shouldn't go this route. They should hire an attorney
24:53
Speaker 9: work out their problems that they were being investigated for
24:56
Speaker 9: because they were having other legal problems and that's why
24:59
Speaker 9: they were being investigated by this crust year Shoken. The
25:03
Speaker 9: informant was advising them, don't go this route. Why would
25:06
Speaker 9: you buy another US company while you're under investigation. That's
25:11
Speaker 9: not a good idea.
25:12
Speaker 1: So he's trying to tell.
25:13
Speaker 9: Him to do the right thing. The owner of Bearisma
25:18
Speaker 9: said that Hunter was stupid and that his other business
25:22
Speaker 9: partner was smart. He also said that he paid five
25:26
Speaker 9: million to one Biden and he paid five million to
25:30
Speaker 9: another Bidy and it was all a bribery to get
25:34
Speaker 9: Shoken fired. And in the investigation into Maurisma.
25:40
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, Congresswoman Green just said that this was
25:46
Speaker 1: a bribery scheme. And this confidential informant who's been paid
25:50
Speaker 1: by the FBI for this intel said that they referred
25:56
Speaker 1: with Verisma to Hunter Biden as an idiot, which actually
26:00
Speaker 1: makes sense, Like they knew he was an idiot, they
26:02
Speaker 1: didn't care. They weren't paying him to send on the board.
26:05
Speaker 1: They were paying him to make their problems go away.
26:09
Speaker 1: And then they say there's five million that went to
26:12
Speaker 1: one Biden and then five million that went to another Biden.
26:20
Speaker 1: Now you think about that amount of money, that's a
26:22
Speaker 1: hell of a lot of money, folks, ten million dollars
26:25
Speaker 1: And this is what the White House lied to you about.
26:28
Speaker 1: And the Democrats lied you about so no, no, no. The
26:30
Speaker 1: Trump guys looked into this. Bill Barr looked into this.
26:32
Speaker 1: There was nothing that they closed the investigation. No, they didn't.
26:35
Speaker 1: Bill Barr came out and said, that's the farthest thing
26:37
Speaker 1: for the truth that we I've ever heard. We have
26:39
Speaker 1: not closed the investigation. In fact, we sent it to
26:43
Speaker 1: Delaware to be investigated. There's a bribery allegation. Let's go
26:48
Speaker 1: back to that question with the president. United States of
26:51
Speaker 1: America Representative Nancy May says, there's damning evidence in an
26:55
Speaker 1: FBI file that you sold out the country. Do you
26:58
Speaker 1: have a response to Congress some Republicans and what did
27:02
Speaker 1: the President say? Hah, oh, you know, hey, where's the money?
27:07
Speaker 1: Where's the money? Well, we know where the money is.
27:09
Speaker 1: You guys got it.
27:10
Speaker 7: The riv Realitas says their standing evidence that be on
27:15
Speaker 7: file that.
27:15
Speaker 1: You sold out of the country.
27:16
Speaker 8: If you have a response to the progression Republicans, where's
27:19
Speaker 8: the money, I'm.
27:23
Speaker 1: A bunch of malarkey. It's a bunch of malarkey. I'm joking, right.
27:27
Speaker 1: Remember ten percent for the big guy. Well, now we're
27:29
Speaker 1: finding out ten percent for the big guy may actually
27:32
Speaker 1: be completely inaccurate. It looks like now there's a hell
27:37
Speaker 1: of a lot more for the big guy. Let's also
27:40
Speaker 1: remember what Joe Biden said at the Council on Foreign Relations.
27:45
Speaker 1: He was very proud of himself. You may remember that
27:48
Speaker 1: he was in charge of the Ukrainian policy. Now we
27:52
Speaker 1: put it in perspective with the ten million dollars in
27:54
Speaker 1: bribes that were going into the brid Biden crime family,
27:57
Speaker 1: we understand what they were getting. They were getting protection.
28:00
Speaker 1: And the President of the United States of America then
28:02
Speaker 1: after he was the vice president, was that the Council
28:04
Speaker 1: on Formulations bragging about getting the prosecutor fired, the prosecutor
28:09
Speaker 1: that Barisma needed to get fired so they wouldn't get
28:11
Speaker 1: in trouble for bribery.
28:13
Speaker 6: Vincing our team or others too, convincing that we should
28:17
Speaker 6: be providing for loan guarantees. And I went over I
28:21
Speaker 6: guess the twelfth thirteenth time to Kiev, and I was
28:26
Speaker 6: supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.
28:30
Speaker 6: And I had gotten a commitment from Porshenko and from
28:35
Speaker 6: Yachtsan Yuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor,
28:38
Speaker 6: and they didn't, so they said they were walking out
28:41
Speaker 6: to Prescot. I said no, I said, I'm not going
28:42
Speaker 6: to go or we're not going to give you the
28:44
Speaker 6: billion dollars. They said, you have no authority, you're not
28:48
Speaker 6: the president. The president said, I said, call him. I said,
28:51
Speaker 6: I'm telling you're not getting a billion dollars. I said,
28:54
Speaker 6: you're not getting the billion, and I'm going to be
28:55
Speaker 6: leaving here. And I think it was what six hours.
28:57
Speaker 6: I looked at I sai, I'm leaving the six hours.
29:00
Speaker 6: Prosecutor's not fired. You're not getting the money. Oh, son
29:03
Speaker 6: of a bitch got fired.
29:06
Speaker 1: He got fired. There it is the president of the
29:09
Speaker 1: United States of America bragging about committing crimes. That is
29:16
Speaker 1: absolutely what he's doing is committing crimes. So let's go
29:19
Speaker 1: back to Congresswoman Taylor Green. She's explaining this bribery scheme.
29:24
Speaker 1: Now how it worked. Ten million dollars going in to
29:29
Speaker 1: the Biden bank accounts, five million to one Biden, five
29:32
Speaker 1: million to another Biden. Back in fifteen and sixteen, again,
29:35
Speaker 1: Brisma's looking to buy a US based oil and gas company.
29:39
Speaker 1: This came from being advised by Hunter Biden and his partners.
29:42
Speaker 1: Biden said, Soakin was corrupt around the time of this meeting,
29:47
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden was Vice president, said the Ukrainian prosecutor
29:51
Speaker 1: Soakin was corrupt. They hired Hunter on the board to
29:54
Speaker 1: make the problem go away. That's what they specifically said.
30:00
Speaker 1: Based on the documents. The congress woman Green has just seen.
30:04
Speaker 1: She wasn't done that.
30:07
Speaker 9: He also told the informant, this is common practice in
30:10
Speaker 9: Russia and Ukraine. It's common practice. It's part of business there.
30:15
Speaker 9: That's how their culture works, that they will pay rivalry
30:19
Speaker 9: money in order to get business deals done, and that
30:22
Speaker 9: many businesses they take that into account. They put their
30:27
Speaker 9: budget basically when they're preparing to buy another company or
30:31
Speaker 9: start another company. That that's just normal and so over
30:35
Speaker 9: in Ukraine for them to consenter hiring Hunter Biden on
30:39
Speaker 9: the board in order to make their problems go away,
30:42
Speaker 9: which was the prosecutor Shoken who was investigating Barisma for
30:47
Speaker 9: corruption and legal problems. This was definitely illegal for a
30:53
Speaker 9: vice president of the United States and their family members.
31:00
Speaker 9: The informant had asked the owner of Briefemith if he
31:04
Speaker 9: was happy that Trump won, and he said.
31:07
Speaker 1: He was not happy.
31:09
Speaker 9: Remember, he had invested a lot of money into the
31:11
Speaker 9: Bidens to make his problems go away, but he did
31:14
Speaker 9: say that it would take ten years for all of
31:18
Speaker 9: us to find out the payments made to the Bidens
31:21
Speaker 9: because of how many bank.
31:23
Speaker 1: Accounts there were.
31:24
Speaker 9: He said at the time there were no direct payments
31:27
Speaker 9: made to the big guy, But in the meeting later
31:32
Speaker 9: after he had become more upset as things were unfolding,
31:36
Speaker 9: he told the informant that he has two pieces of
31:39
Speaker 9: evidence showing proof of payment to Hunter and.
31:43
Speaker 1: Specifically Joe Biden.
31:45
Speaker 9: You see, I think what everyone needs to understand.
31:48
Speaker 1: Is that business.
31:49
Speaker 9: Owners police expartments, whether they're good or bad, whether they
31:54
Speaker 9: performed their business in a legal manner or a corupt manner.
31:57
Speaker 9: They always see records of the business to payments, accounts
32:03
Speaker 9: and receivables. That's how it's done. And this owner of
32:06
Speaker 9: Marisma Kepper record, especially of the bribes, and if you're
32:10
Speaker 9: in an industry where you have to pay bribes to
32:13
Speaker 9: get your business, feels done. So you always want to
32:16
Speaker 9: keep a record and keep proof of your bribes because
32:19
Speaker 9: that's how you make sure you get people to follow
32:22
Speaker 9: through on what they're done with.
32:24
Speaker 1: What I read today is.
32:28
Speaker 9: Again shocking, just as what I read in the Treasury.
32:31
Speaker 5: Department with all the stars.
32:32
Speaker 9: Report is shocking, but we are going to continue following
32:36
Speaker 9: this investigation. We're going to continue to look into every
32:40
Speaker 9: single thing that we can uncover. We need the FBI
32:43
Speaker 9: to keep cooperating with us. That's extremely important, and I
32:47
Speaker 9: have very high expectations of Christopher Ray that will do
32:51
Speaker 9: the right thing and continue showing us the information that
32:55
Speaker 9: we're asking for. What I'm upset about, though, is the
32:59
Speaker 9: FBI doesn't think the American people are worthy of this
33:04
Speaker 9: unclassified information. I certainly do. I think the American people
33:08
Speaker 9: deserve to see it and know every single bit of it.
33:10
Speaker 9: And that's why when I left the Skift, I made
33:13
Speaker 9: on my notes on this piece of paper here so
33:16
Speaker 9: that I could explain everything to the.
33:17
Speaker 1: American people, Representative Taylor Green making it very clear why
33:26
Speaker 1: they never wanted this document or this informant story to
33:31
Speaker 1: see the light of day, because it's so damning to
33:34
Speaker 1: the Biden administration and to the President. It's clear that
33:38
Speaker 1: this informant, who is a informant the FBI has used
33:42
Speaker 1: many times, who's a highly credible informant, had information, intel documents, etc.
33:50
Speaker 1: That proved and that's what These documents show that the
33:55
Speaker 1: President United States of America took bribes and sold out
33:58
Speaker 1: America while he was the vice president, and that's what
34:01
Speaker 1: his family was doing the entire time he was in office. Now,
34:06
Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want
34:08
Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good
34:10
Speaker 1: friends at the Augusta Precious Medals. You can get free

35:10
Speaker 1: to a Ted Cruz, the podcast that we get through
35:13
Speaker 1: three days a week, had to say moments ago on
35:16
Speaker 1: the Biden bribery abb allegations. He said this on Fox
35:20
Speaker 1: Business to Larry Kudlow. Take a listen to his take
35:23
Speaker 1: on this, Sata.
35:24
Speaker 9: I've got one more real quick from your favorite president himself.
35:29
Speaker 1: Mister Joe Biden, take a listen.
35:32
Speaker 7: At Sister Stanny Evans nay out of vile that you
35:36
Speaker 7: sold out the country.
35:36
Speaker 8: Do you have a response to the progression Republicans? Where's
35:39
Speaker 8: the money? I'm Joe, mister president to a bunch of
35:44
Speaker 8: the morning.
35:46
Speaker 1: All right, where's the money? I'm joking, it's all a
35:48
Speaker 1: bunch of malarkey. Center Techas you may may not.
35:51
Speaker 3: Have talked to some of the House members who saw
35:52
Speaker 3: this document today, the potential for money laundering, the potential
35:57
Speaker 3: that it actually went into Joe Biden, what do you
35:59
Speaker 3: make of this right now?
36:01
Speaker 5: Center, Well, listen, we just heard Joe Biden demonstrate the
36:05
Speaker 5: absolute smugness of being insulated by the most politically corrupt
36:11
Speaker 5: Department of Justice in history and the most politically corrupt
36:16
Speaker 5: corporate media in history. The two together, they surround him,
36:20
Speaker 5: they protect him. Joe Biden says, where's the money? How
36:24
Speaker 5: does he know that they're not going to find the money? Well,
36:26
Speaker 5: because DJ is not looking. They don't want to know
36:29
Speaker 5: the money. It's the opposite of Watergate, follow the money.
36:32
Speaker 5: DJ's approach is hide from the money, run from the money.
36:36
Speaker 5: It is disgraceful. Listen this FBI report. You had a
36:41
Speaker 5: credible informant that the FBI had relied on for previous
36:44
Speaker 5: investigations who came forward and presented evidence that the then
36:49
Speaker 5: Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, was personally
36:53
Speaker 5: involved in a bribery scheme of five million dollars and
36:58
Speaker 5: that it involved a foreign name that was not China.
37:02
Speaker 1: Now at this point.
37:03
Speaker 5: What has happened is doj and the FBI continued a stonewall.
37:07
Speaker 5: The House of Representatives Oversight Committee subpoenaed that document. Initially,
37:14
Speaker 5: they came and presented that document to the chairman and
37:16
Speaker 5: ranking member of the committee, but they didn't want it
37:19
Speaker 5: to be made public. Now they have been dragged into
37:22
Speaker 5: allowing the committee members to see it, but the full
37:25
Speaker 5: House of Representative hasn't seen it. The Senate hasn't seen
37:28
Speaker 5: it because no Senate Democrat wants to see it. It's
37:32
Speaker 5: the monkey, see no evil, do no evil. They just
37:34
Speaker 5: don't want to see it. They don't want to know.
37:37
Speaker 5: And listen, this document needs to be made public. And
37:41
Speaker 5: I got to say to Chris Ray. I've called out
37:43
Speaker 5: before Chris Ray, who's the director of the FBI, believes
37:47
Speaker 5: his job is to protect the institution of the FBI.
37:51
Speaker 5: He is not protecting the FBI when he protects the
37:54
Speaker 5: hardcore partisans who burrowed in to senior career positions, who've
37:59
Speaker 5: corrupt did the FBI. There is an obligation to the
38:03
Speaker 5: American people. If there's credible evidence that the President of
38:07
Speaker 5: the United States was personally involved in bribery, we need
38:12
Speaker 5: full transparency. And so let me say what Joe Biden
38:14
Speaker 5: just said, Show me the money. The American people deserve
38:18
Speaker 5: to be seen. Shown the money, the five million dollars,
38:22
Speaker 5: the millions of dollars that were funneled to at least
38:24
Speaker 5: a dozen Biden family members. We need transparency and the
38:28
Speaker 5: DOJ and the FBI. I need to get out of
38:31
Speaker 5: the cover up business.
38:32
Speaker 1: I want to say just one more thing on this
38:34
Speaker 1: real quick. And we've spent now years and probably hundreds
38:39
Speaker 1: of shows exposing the Biden crime family. I won't stop.
38:44
Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. But I also want
38:46
Speaker 1: you to understand that it's time for you to start
38:49
Speaker 1: calling your congressman and demanding that they actually do not
38:53
Speaker 1: give in on this. You demand that they keep this
38:56
Speaker 1: at the forefront. There is a small group that have
38:59
Speaker 1: been keeping the going. It's time that it expands. It's
39:02
Speaker 1: important that it expands for transparency purposes. And it's clear
39:08
Speaker 1: that there are crimes that were committed that are being
39:10
Speaker 1: covered up, major crimes by the Biden crime family. There
39:15
Speaker 1: should not be two systems of justice in this country
39:18
Speaker 1: depending on if you have an R next to your
39:19
Speaker 1: name or a D next to your name, especially as
39:22
Speaker 1: we're talking about now with this, you know, penning indictment
39:25
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump for you know Marlago documents. But nothing
39:29
Speaker 1: happens to Bill Clinton, nothing happens to Joe Biden, nothing
39:32
Speaker 1: happens to Hillary Clinton when they did the same thing.
39:34
Speaker 1: In fact, Hillary Clinton did far worse than that. Had
39:36
Speaker 1: a server, she wouldn't allowed to have we classified documents
39:39
Speaker 1: on it, and four investigations that were open to the
39:43
Speaker 1: Clinton's all shut down by their allies in the deep state.
39:48
Speaker 1: Also and something else I just want to throw in
39:50
Speaker 1: your radar screen which is interesting. If you never saw
39:54
Speaker 1: the movie Breach, it is a movie that I would
39:57
Speaker 1: encourage you to watch. It is a movie about the
40:00
Speaker 1: the former FBI agent who turned spy, one of the
40:03
Speaker 1: worst spies in American history, Robert Hanson. He was spying
40:09
Speaker 1: on behalf of Russia and giving them intelligence for decades.
40:15
Speaker 1: He was busted back and I think it was two
40:17
Speaker 1: thousand and four officially when they arrested him, and it
40:22
Speaker 1: is a movie called Breach. It was the biggest breach
40:25
Speaker 1: in American history that we know of, and it cost
40:29
Speaker 1: a lot of informants their lives that were killed off
40:31
Speaker 1: by the Russians because of Robert Hanson. They have just
40:36
Speaker 1: told us that Robert Hanson, who was convicted of doing
40:40
Speaker 1: these crimes, has been found dead in his jail cell.
40:46
Speaker 1: Listen Ox.
40:47
Speaker 10: He was alert. Former FBI agent Robert Hanson, who was
40:51
Speaker 10: convicted of stealing and sharing state secrets with Russia over
40:54
Speaker 10: the course of two decades, has been found dead in
40:57
Speaker 10: his prison cell. Hanson was one of the most damching
41:00
Speaker 10: spies in American history and sold out thousands of classified
41:03
Speaker 10: documents to the KGB, as well as exposed numerous American
41:07
Speaker 10: sources inside both the Soviet and Russian governments. Hanson was
41:11
Speaker 10: serving fifteen consecutive consecutive life sentences without prol in a
41:16
Speaker 10: supermax prison in Colorado. This is a security prison that
41:21
Speaker 10: there is out there.
41:22
Speaker 1: John.
41:23
Speaker 10: There's no word yet on whether or not he took
41:24
Speaker 10: his own life or someone took.
41:25
Speaker 11: His, or if he just died of natural cause. It
41:30
Speaker 11: seventy nine years old. He's kind of written that sweet
41:32
Speaker 11: spot for him and a heart attack, and when you're
41:34
Speaker 11: in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a day, some
41:37
Speaker 11: people might feel they don't have much left.
41:38
Speaker 1: To live for twenty three hours a day solitary confinement.
41:42
Speaker 1: By the way, this guy deserved it, because people died
41:46
Speaker 1: because of what he did and the agents that he
41:48
Speaker 1: ruined their lives. If you've never watched that movie, you should.
41:52
Speaker 1: It's called Breach. It is a true story of this
41:55
Speaker 1: man who for more than twenty years was selling secrets
41:58
Speaker 1: to the Russians while he was a top FBI individual.
42:04
Speaker 1: What's even more crazy is at one point he was
42:08
Speaker 1: put in charge of finding who the spy was within
42:13
Speaker 1: the FBI. He would have had to have found himself.
42:17
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being that high up and that good
42:19
Speaker 1: at it, that it took twenty years to catch you,
42:23
Speaker 1: and at one point you were actually put in charge
42:25
Speaker 1: of finding yourself, like finding yourself. That's how high up
42:31
Speaker 1: and how much they trusted him as an agent. Now,
42:37
Speaker 1: one last thing, and it is a personal moment that
42:42
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about. That is some sad news,
42:47
Speaker 1: but an incredible life that was lived by Christian broadcasting
42:50
Speaker 1: network founder Pat Robertson, who has died at the age
42:54
Speaker 1: of ninety three. The seven Hundred Club host helped cement
43:00
Speaker 1: the Republican parties endearing allegiance alliance with evangelical voters in
43:06
Speaker 1: this country. The seven hundred Club was called the seven
43:09
Speaker 1: hundred Club because it was seven hundred donors that helped
43:12
Speaker 1: start it, and the legendary Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, who
43:17
Speaker 1: spun a local Virginia TV station into a global Christian
43:21
Speaker 1: broadcasting network, passed away at ninety three. Robertson's cause of
43:25
Speaker 1: death was not given. The announcement by the Network. Robertson,
43:29
Speaker 1: as I said, known for the seven hundred Club in
43:32
Speaker 1: the CBN, he helped make religion central to the Republican Party.
43:37
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty eight, Robertson also ran for president, seeking
43:41
Speaker 1: the GOP nomination. He finished in second place in the
43:44
Speaker 1: Iowa caucuses of head of Vice President George H. W. Bush.
43:49
Speaker 1: With the help of his pioneering strategy of courting Iowa's
43:52
Speaker 1: evangelical churches, Robertson's tactics of insisting that three million followers
44:00
Speaker 1: across the US sign petitions before he would decide to
44:03
Speaker 1: run had also brought him a massive base. Jeffrey Hayden,
44:08
Speaker 1: a University of Virginia sociologist and a Robertson biographer, said
44:12
Speaker 1: he said to the Associated Press, it was a brilliant move.
44:17
Speaker 1: He stood in front of a stack of signatures that
44:19
Speaker 1: was taller than he was left and right. I mean
44:22
Speaker 1: it looked like it was well three million piece of paper.
44:26
Speaker 1: They announced his intention to collect a total of seven
44:28
Speaker 1: million signatures during a news conference in September of nineteen
44:32
Speaker 1: eighty seven. It was a brilliant move by Pat Robertson.
44:37
Speaker 1: Robertson later by the way endorsed George W. Bush. George H. W.
44:40
Speaker 1: Bush had say who won the presidency. He had that
44:44
Speaker 1: experience of running for president. Robertson immediately then understood how
44:48
Speaker 1: important and how valuable and how powerful a united Christian
44:54
Speaker 1: group could have its shaping politics. He created the Christian
44:59
Speaker 1: coal which helps cement the Republican parties enduring allegiance to
45:05
Speaker 1: evangelical voters. Pursuit of Iowa's evangelicals is now a common
45:10
Speaker 1: practice for Republican hopefuls, including those currently seeking the White
45:14
Speaker 1: House in twenty twenty four. Robertson's enterprises also included something
45:19
Speaker 1: he saw as a shortcoming of conservatives, and that was
45:22
Speaker 1: the universities and law schools to combat liberal law schools
45:25
Speaker 1: and liberal schools. He then started an amazing university which
45:30
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time at, spoken at Regent University.
45:33
Speaker 1: It's an evangelical Christian school in Virginia Beach. The American
45:37
Speaker 1: Center for Law and Justice, which defends the First Amendment
45:40
Speaker 1: rights of religious people, and Operation Blessing, an international humanitarian organization,
45:46
Speaker 1: are both also things that he started. The acl J
45:52
Speaker 1: is the opposite of the ACLU. The ACLJ is run
45:56
Speaker 1: now by j Seculo, who Robertson put in charge. Robertson
46:01
Speaker 1: was born in March of nineteen thirty in Lexington, Virginia,
46:06
Speaker 1: and he spent his remaining days up in Virginia. In fact,
46:10
Speaker 1: his father served for thirty six years as a US
46:13
Speaker 1: representative and then a Senator from Virginia. After graduating from
46:18
Speaker 1: Washington Lee, he served as assistant adjunct of the first
46:21
Speaker 1: Marine Division in Korea. He received a law degree from
46:24
Speaker 1: Yale University Law School, where he met his wife, but
46:28
Speaker 1: failed the bar exam and chose not to pursue a
46:30
Speaker 1: law career. Thank goodness he didn't. He was also a
46:34
Speaker 1: founding member of the Christian Broadcasting Network. Robertson resigned as
46:38
Speaker 1: President of the Christian Coalition back in two thousand and one,
46:41
Speaker 1: setting a focus on his ministry work. It's truly incredible
46:46
Speaker 1: the legacy he leaves behind what he did with Regent's University.
46:50
Speaker 1: Our thoughts and prayers are with Robertson. I'm proud to
46:52
Speaker 1: say that I got to eat lunch with him, dinner
46:55
Speaker 1: with him, even hit some golf balls with him once
46:57
Speaker 1: in Virginia Beach. He was a very kind man to me. Personally,
47:01
Speaker 1: and he was very kind to my friends, helped many
47:05
Speaker 1: of them with their futures in politics. He is one
47:09
Speaker 1: that is going to be missed. Make sure you subscribe
