Speaker 1: Hunter. Biden finally admits his infamous laptop is his why
0:07
Speaker 1: while he is doing the please for the criminal probe
0:11
Speaker 1: to basically stop first son Hunter. Biden's lawyers admitted late
0:17
Speaker 1: Wednesday that the infamous laptop that the now fifty two
0:20
Speaker 1: year old abandon at the Delaware computer shop is in
0:25
Speaker 1: fact his. Yeah, it belonged to him. The revelation came
0:31
Speaker 1: in a letter from Hunter's lawyers seeking a criminal probe
0:34
Speaker 1: into what they called attempts to weaponize its contents. In
0:38
Speaker 1: the fourteen page letter to the Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings,
0:44
Speaker 1: Biden's attorneys claimed that repair shop owner John Paul mack
0:50
Speaker 1: isaac quote unlawfully access Hunter's laptop data and worked with
0:56
Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to quote
1:00
Speaker 1: up and eyes sour it an incriminating content on it
1:04
Speaker 1: against Joe Biden quote unquote. So now this is part
1:08
Speaker 1: of their strategy to say it is reel and you
1:10
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to have any of this quote. This
1:14
Speaker 1: failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation,
1:20
Speaker 1: and manipulation of mister Biden's private and personal information. His
1:26
Speaker 1: attorney's written the letter, mister Maciaac's intentional, reckless, and unlawful
1:31
Speaker 1: conduct allowed for hundreds of gigabytes of mister Biden's personal
1:37
Speaker 1: data without any discretion, to be circulated around the internet.
1:42
Speaker 1: Mac Isaac took possession of the laptop and hard drive
1:45
Speaker 1: as you know, in late twenty nineteen, after trying and
1:48
Speaker 1: failing for months to notify Hunter that the device was
1:51
Speaker 1: ready to be picked up. Once the shop owner saw
1:54
Speaker 1: the laptop's content, including emails detailing influence pedaling involving the
1:59
Speaker 1: then Vice President Joe Biden, and videos of the younger
2:03
Speaker 1: Biden smoking crack and having sex with prostitutes and his
2:07
Speaker 1: work subordinates, he decided to alert the FBI. Doesn't exactly
2:11
Speaker 1: sound like someone that's trying to put it all over
2:13
Speaker 1: the internet right now. The FEDS did pick up the
2:17
Speaker 1: laptop in December of twenty nineteen, but not before mac
2:20
Speaker 1: Isaac made a copy and gave it to Giuliani's personal lawyer,
2:25
Speaker 1: Robert Costello. Giliani provide the Post with a copy of
2:29
Speaker 1: the hard drive in October of twenty twenty. After the
2:33
Speaker 1: investigation by the FEDS, we now know a lot more
2:36
Speaker 1: about it. Basically was shut down for no reason. Well,
2:39
Speaker 1: we know the reason to protect the Vice President of the
2:41
Speaker 1: the United States of America and to protect the Biden
2:45
Speaker 1: crime family. We know the deep State actually classified at
2:49
Speaker 1: the FBI much of this information as quote misinformation, so
2:54
Speaker 1: no one would ever see the contents of Hunter Biden's
2:57
Speaker 1: Laptop's letters signals that they are worried. They're also going
3:05
Speaker 1: on the offense. Who are they attacking While they're attacking
3:09
Speaker 1: mac Isaac, They're attacking Giuliani, They're attacking Costello, They're attacking
3:14
Speaker 1: former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon. They're attacking former
3:18
Speaker 1: Trump White House aids and associates. They're also attacking the
3:24
Speaker 1: founder and CEO of cyber analytics firm x R Vision
3:28
Speaker 1: and the former a to sender Ron Johnson, as parties
3:32
Speaker 1: who gained unauthorized access to the laptop's content and disseminated
3:36
Speaker 1: it in the media and lawmakers quote. We believe that
3:41
Speaker 1: the facts and circumstances merit further investigation not into the
3:44
Speaker 1: criminal wrongdoing by the Bidens, but into all these people
3:47
Speaker 1: that got a copy of this laptop, as whether the
3:49
Speaker 1: conduct of these individuals violated several provisions of Delaware Criminal Code,
3:56
Speaker 1: including but not necessarily limited to computer related property, is theft,
4:01
Speaker 1: possession of stolen property, and misapplication of another property. Each
4:07
Speaker 1: of these offenses, they claim, and the letter, if violated,
4:10
Speaker 1: has the potential to be a felony depending on the
4:13
Speaker 1: value of the property in question. Hunter Biden's lawyer's right
4:17
Speaker 1: letters are also sent by Hunter Biden's lawyer on Wednesday
4:20
Speaker 1: to the Justice Department's National Security Division, and also letters
4:24
Speaker 1: were sent to the IRS. I think with Congress starting
4:27
Speaker 1: investigations next week, it's a scared tactic. Mac Isaac told
4:32
Speaker 1: the Post this afternoon. That's the guy who owned the
4:35
Speaker 1: computer repair store. The flag is heaviest when you're over
4:39
Speaker 1: the target, he added. The White House Oversight Committee will
4:42
Speaker 1: commence hearings next week on Hunter Biden and on Hunter
4:46
Speaker 1: Biden's alleged influence peddling specifically, which really doesn't matter much
4:50
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden. It has everything to do with his
4:52
Speaker 1: dad is the President of the United States of America.
4:56
Speaker 1: The claim is simple, The scheme is simple. He and
5:00
Speaker 1: the Biden family as a whole, they cashed in on
5:04
Speaker 1: ties to Vice President Joe Biden. They the Biden family,
5:09
Speaker 1: including the President ranked in millions and millions and millions
5:13
Speaker 1: of dollars from foreign companies. Representative James Comer, the chairman
5:18
Speaker 1: of the panel, told the National Press Club on Monday
5:21
Speaker 1: that it's very clear what they were doing. They were
5:25
Speaker 1: selling to the highest bidder. It was straight up influence
5:30
Speaker 1: peddling and everyone knows it. Now, before I get into

Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ben. Now hunter Biden's lawyers
7:00
Speaker 1: going and fighting back. James Comer he was hit pretty
7:03
Speaker 1: hard by those attorneys. He was asked about it. Here's
7:05
Speaker 1: what he said. What do you make of the fact
7:09
Speaker 1: that they are already going after you and Jordan in
7:11
Speaker 1: their bid to defend Biden against these investigators. I mean,
7:15
Speaker 1: it's I'm probably not going to comment on that. I mean,
7:19
Speaker 1: they can continue to do whatever they want. All we're
7:21
Speaker 1: asking for is basic information that normal congressional investigators would
7:26
Speaker 1: would ask an administration for. It's it's shocking, but it's
7:32
Speaker 1: not going to deter us one bit. We're moving forward.
7:35
Speaker 1: We believe We've been transparent with what information we want
7:39
Speaker 1: and why we want it, so the American people and
7:42
Speaker 1: hopefully the media can be the judges of how they're responding.
7:46
Speaker 1: Joe Kuts do have a very coordinated approach to defending
7:49
Speaker 1: the president in these inquiries. I mean, if they want
7:53
Speaker 1: to continue to defend the indefensible, then more power to them.
7:56
Speaker 1: But this is something that Joe Biden when he was
8:00
Speaker 1: campaigning for president that he would have the most transparent
8:03
Speaker 1: administration in history. I'll let the media be the judge
8:06
Speaker 1: of whether that's an accurate promise that he made, and
8:10
Speaker 1: give us some context on the transcribed interview today what
8:13
Speaker 1: you want out of that, but what you think that
8:15
Speaker 1: might reveal. I mean, obviously that's the first major step
8:18
Speaker 1: where you've had somebody in since you've been the CHIP.
8:20
Speaker 1: Now we're glad this was our first official transcribe interview
8:24
Speaker 1: during my chairmanship. So we'll have the General Counsel for
8:28
Speaker 1: the National Archives come in today. We just have the
8:31
Speaker 1: same questions that you all have. We want to know
8:33
Speaker 1: what type of documents are we talking about. We're going
8:36
Speaker 1: to ask about the documents that Trump has as well
8:38
Speaker 1: as the documents that Biden and Pence have and go ahead.
8:43
Speaker 1: But you think that was something they did triggered all this,
8:45
Speaker 1: and that's why this was handled differently with Trump and
8:48
Speaker 1: different with it. And this is I can tell you this.
8:50
Speaker 1: We've you know, in the beginning that the story was
8:52
Speaker 1: that the National Archives triggered the raid on our largo.
8:56
Speaker 1: They've come back and implied that it wasn't the National Archives,
8:59
Speaker 1: that it was actually the Arm of Justice. So we
9:02
Speaker 1: want to know who triggered the raid on Marlago and
9:06
Speaker 1: why there's such a difference in how the mishandling of
9:09
Speaker 1: documents versus of Trump has been handled so much differently
9:13
Speaker 1: than the mishandling of documents with respect to Pence. So
9:17
Speaker 1: we want to know again who all was involved in
9:21
Speaker 1: in uh turning the documents in with respect to Pence,
9:25
Speaker 1: We're very concerned that, you know, who's had access to
9:29
Speaker 1: Pence's document I said, Pence, I'm sorry, We're let me
9:33
Speaker 1: start all, we're very concerned about who had access to
9:35
Speaker 1: Biden's documents. With respect to the investigation we're conducting. We
9:42
Speaker 1: have reason to believe that Hunter Biden has had some
9:48
Speaker 1: contacts that would be of concerned our national security. But
9:51
Speaker 1: don't you kind of suggesting, you know, okay, that you
9:54
Speaker 1: have some problems with Hunter Biden, you might have some
9:56
Speaker 1: problems with with with the presidents here, And just because
9:58
Speaker 1: there might have been some document, isn't that doesn't that
10:01
Speaker 1: take a leap of face to get to that point.
10:02
Speaker 1: I'm I realized there's some unanswered questions in there, but
10:04
Speaker 1: I mean, you're aren't you kind of stretching that alt? No,
10:06
Speaker 1: we just want to know who had access to the documents,
10:09
Speaker 1: who all was involved with the president's personal attorneys and
10:13
Speaker 1: going in and looking for the documents? Did they did
10:16
Speaker 1: they have security clearance? We don't know who his personal
10:19
Speaker 1: attorneys are, we don't know who their clients are, So
10:21
Speaker 1: we just have basic questions. We're not accusing anyone of
10:24
Speaker 1: any wrongdoing. We just want to know the facts. And
10:26
Speaker 1: this is the first opportunity we've had for anyone from
10:29
Speaker 1: the National Archives to sit down and talk to us.
10:32
Speaker 1: But I love how they're handling this. You notice this
10:36
Speaker 1: is not really about Hunter Biden, which is exactly what
10:39
Speaker 1: the strategies should be. They're saying, we just want to
10:42
Speaker 1: know who had access. We're not accusing anybody of anything.
10:46
Speaker 1: We just want to know who has had access. That's
10:50
Speaker 1: all we're asking for, is who has had access. We
10:56
Speaker 1: don't know who these attorneys are. We don't know who
11:01
Speaker 1: they are and who they may also be representing. That
11:05
Speaker 1: could be bad actors, that could be Chinese communists, that
11:08
Speaker 1: could be Russian olagarchs. We have no idea. And notice
11:13
Speaker 1: how the media is getting very defensive over that said.
11:16
Speaker 1: Notice how James Comer was very calm. He's like, we're
11:19
Speaker 1: just asking questions. We're not accusing anybody of any wrongdoing.
11:22
Speaker 1: We're just asking questions. That's all we're doing is asking questions.
11:30
Speaker 1: And this is when you know they are scared to
11:33
Speaker 1: death of what we're going to find. There's another aspect
11:40
Speaker 1: of this, and the Republicans are gonna have to do
11:42
Speaker 1: a really good job of staying focused and making sure
11:47
Speaker 1: they don't take debait Democrats now want this investigation to
11:51
Speaker 1: be all about Hunter Biden. Okay, this does not need
11:55
Speaker 1: to be about Hunter Biden. James Comer, Ron Johnson and
11:59
Speaker 1: others have done a very good job of saying, we
12:01
Speaker 1: really just don't give a crap about Hunter Biden. We do,
12:04
Speaker 1: we do give a crap about transparency, right, That's what
12:08
Speaker 1: we do care about with this present and where his
12:11
Speaker 1: money's coming from. The family. We know has made millions
12:14
Speaker 1: of millions of millions of dollars from China loan. We
12:16
Speaker 1: know that they've made millions of millions dollars from Russian oligarchs.
12:18
Speaker 1: We know they made millions of millions of dollars from Ukraine.
12:21
Speaker 1: And that's just the areas that we do know. There's
12:23
Speaker 1: other places where they were doing business in Mexico, but
12:26
Speaker 1: the amount of cash coming in is a lot suspicious activity.
12:29
Speaker 1: Reports were by the hundreds coming from banks that were
12:33
Speaker 1: flagging transactions and bank accounts that had the Biden crime
12:37
Speaker 1: family involved in it. So James Comer was also asked,
12:41
Speaker 1: he's the chairman of the oversight committee. I played him
12:43
Speaker 1: a moment ago for you. But he was also asked
12:46
Speaker 1: what does this really boil down to, and he did
12:48
Speaker 1: a great job of explaining it. Listen, Well, yeah, I
12:51
Speaker 1: mean this is this is gonna be a very thorough investigation.
12:56
Speaker 1: We're specific about investigating the Biden family for him and spelling,
13:01
Speaker 1: and in the end there'll be a legislate fixed. And
13:03
Speaker 1: I think you have to go back several administrations and
13:06
Speaker 1: look at different areas where there were accusations of maybe
13:13
Speaker 1: inappropriate relationships or whatever, inappropriate business relationships. So that'll be
13:18
Speaker 1: something you know in the end that that will certainly
13:20
Speaker 1: be examined. So I hope that we can get a
13:23
Speaker 1: legislate fixed, like I said, to determine what is a
13:27
Speaker 1: live one and what is it because we don't know,
13:29
Speaker 1: but we should know, and we should have better disclosure
13:33
Speaker 1: laws on immediate family members that do business with our
13:36
Speaker 1: adversaries around them, who you might have asked you real quick,
13:39
Speaker 1: the top cabinet secretaries you want to hear from, because
13:42
Speaker 1: you said zero have come before over something. Well, right now,
13:47
Speaker 1: we're we haven't asked that, we asked, oh yeah, but
13:54
Speaker 1: you know, I would say several of them will get
13:57
Speaker 1: invited to come before the committee in the near future. Again,
14:00
Speaker 1: I've just been chairman for about two days, so we're
14:03
Speaker 1: just getting started. I love it. I've just been chairman
14:07
Speaker 1: for ten days, so we're just getting started this oversight.
14:12
Speaker 1: And what we're seeing right now is very clear that
14:15
Speaker 1: this White House now has lost control of the media
14:19
Speaker 1: and they've lost control of the narrative. Here. Reporters were
14:25
Speaker 1: also really digging in at the White House today, I
14:29
Speaker 1: mean really digging in trying to get some answers on
14:34
Speaker 1: everything that's been happening, and they're out there pushing their
14:38
Speaker 1: new stuff right, their new lines. One of their new
14:41
Speaker 1: lines today that no one was asking about was them saying, oh,
14:44
Speaker 1: by the way, we want to close Gitmo. Wait where
14:46
Speaker 1: did that come from? It remains dedicated. We remain dedicated
14:51
Speaker 1: to a deliberate and thorough process focused on responsibly reducing
14:55
Speaker 1: the detainee population at Guantanamo Bay and ultimately closing the
15:00
Speaker 1: facility that is still where we stand a depart No
15:03
Speaker 1: one's asking about that. They're just bringing this crap up today.
15:07
Speaker 1: Let's close Gitmo. These are all distractions. I mean, this
15:13
Speaker 1: is the distractions. These are all of the distractions. White
15:19
Speaker 1: House also going in after Alamo mar being taken off
15:24
Speaker 1: the Foreign Affairs Committee. She says it's a disservice to
15:27
Speaker 1: the American people. Right then, she said the use of
15:31
Speaker 1: official state Russian and Belarusian flags, emblems and anthems should
15:34
Speaker 1: be prohibited for athletes trying to go pro America. There.
15:39
Speaker 1: She also talked about Biden not reaching out to the
15:42
Speaker 1: family of a man who was shot to death in
15:46
Speaker 1: the line of duty, a father of four. She said,
15:49
Speaker 1: if you know Joe Biden, you know he feels the
15:50
Speaker 1: pain of many families, trying to act like it's normal
15:54
Speaker 1: for him not to call people in the reporter. So,
15:57
Speaker 1: in addition to the Nicholas funeral, for example, we saw
15:59
Speaker 1: President call the parents of DeMar of Damar Hamlin, the
16:03
Speaker 1: injured NFL player. I checked the White House website just
16:06
Speaker 1: before coming into the briefing room today and I see
16:08
Speaker 1: no indication that the Chief executive has at any time
16:14
Speaker 1: reached out to the family of Justin McIntyre, who was
16:18
Speaker 1: the police chief in Pennsylvania who was shot to death.
16:21
Speaker 1: A lot of duty a father for why not? It's
16:25
Speaker 1: why because they don't back police, they don't care about police. Now,
16:29
Speaker 1: these are the questions that are coming in right now
16:31
Speaker 1: to the White House. These are not normal questions. Okay,
16:37
Speaker 1: again they were not. This is them And when the
16:39
Speaker 1: President does speak, he's not making a lot of sense. Today,
16:44
Speaker 1: Biden said, and I'm going to read you the quote
16:46
Speaker 1: before I play it for you, because it's Biden, all right.
16:49
Speaker 1: Biden said, more than half the women in my administration
16:55
Speaker 1: are women. It's like fetterman, yell the eagles are the eagles.
17:02
Speaker 1: More than half the women in my cabinet, more than
17:05
Speaker 1: more than half the people in my cabin more than
17:06
Speaker 1: half of the women and my administration are women. More
17:10
Speaker 1: than half the women are women. More than half the
17:14
Speaker 1: women in my administration are women. Okay, that's the guy
17:17
Speaker 1: who's running the country right now, that's what he's got
17:19
Speaker 1: to offer you. Now you look at Hunter Biden, and
17:23
Speaker 1: let's go back to that. The House Oversight Committee has
17:27
Speaker 1: to be very laser focused here. They have to be
17:31
Speaker 1: looking at the Hunter Biden and what he did not
17:34
Speaker 1: through the eyes of what's the big headline, right you know,
17:37
Speaker 1: you know he's forcing people that work for him to
17:39
Speaker 1: send him pictures and they'll give him bonuses through Venmo
17:42
Speaker 1: and things like that. Right if they have sex with him,
17:46
Speaker 1: that's not the stuff that they need to be looking into.
17:48
Speaker 1: To be clear, that's what the media would love to cover,
17:51
Speaker 1: right the TMZ style. They need to be looking at
17:54
Speaker 1: the following the muddy and the influence peddling, and the
17:58
Speaker 1: clear claims that he hashton on his ties when his
18:02
Speaker 1: vice president father was in office. They need to look
18:07
Speaker 1: at where all the money came from Ziegler by the Way,
18:11
Speaker 1: who worked as an aid to Trump trade advisor Peter
18:14
Speaker 1: Navarro and has published the laptop's data on his Marco
18:18
Speaker 1: Polo USA website, told The Post on Wednesday that the
18:22
Speaker 1: letters were a desperate attempt by the Biden family to
18:25
Speaker 1: get the spotlight away from their actual crimes. With respect
18:30
Speaker 1: to the letters from the President's son, pleading with my
18:32
Speaker 1: Daddy's agencies a target those who exposed his bulantant criminality,
18:37
Speaker 1: Kevin Morris did not get a lot of bang for
18:39
Speaker 1: his buck, Ziegler told the Post were a referencing Hunter
18:43
Speaker 1: Biden's fixer and sugar brother, Kevin Morris, who allegedly lent
18:48
Speaker 1: the president son two million to help pay off his
18:50
Speaker 1: overdue federal taxes and has become the architect of Hunter
18:54
Speaker 1: Biden's legal and media strategy. He also went on to
18:57
Speaker 1: say this, you would think that Morris, this is this
19:00
Speaker 1: guy who is funding right, the sugar daddy of Hunter Biden,
19:05
Speaker 1: would actually hire tax attorneys to defend Hunter Biden's legals problems,
19:11
Speaker 1: then political lawyers and others that he's currently hired, like
19:15
Speaker 1: no one understands a strategy. They also sent this letter,
19:19
Speaker 1: by the way to the irs and the letter of
19:23
Speaker 1: the irs about Marco Polo is full of speculations and
19:26
Speaker 1: basic misunderstandings about the case law surrounding five one three organizations.
19:33
Speaker 1: Hopefully federal and state investigators will see this for what
19:37
Speaker 1: it is, a desperate attempt quote unquote by Hunter and
19:39
Speaker 1: his family to get the attentions off of their actual crimes.
19:45
Speaker 1: Costello told The Post that the allegations were ridiculous and
19:49
Speaker 1: a sign of desperation from the Biden camp. Quote this
19:53
Speaker 1: letter is a ridiculous attempt to intimidate that will not succeed.
20:00
Speaker 1: Is the product of desperation by Hunter Biden because they
20:03
Speaker 1: no judgment days coming for the Biden family. Costello points
20:07
Speaker 1: out that mac Isaac has a signed work order that
20:11
Speaker 1: gives him authorization to examine the hard drive, and the
20:15
Speaker 1: property is deemed legally abandoned after ninety days. It is
20:18
Speaker 1: the property now of John Paul mac Isaac. Isaac said
20:24
Speaker 1: it's no coincidence the letter from Hunter Biden's lawyers comes
20:27
Speaker 1: just as the House Republicans are ready to open probes
20:30
Speaker 1: into the president's son beginning on October fourteenth. I will
20:38
Speaker 1: remind you as that is when the Post started publishing
20:42
Speaker 1: a series of exclusive reports about the laptop's contents in Queen,
20:46
Speaker 1: the emails providing that Hunter introduced an executive of Ukrainian
20:51
Speaker 1: natural gas firm Barisma to his father, while Joe oversaw
20:54
Speaker 1: the Obama administration's policy towards the Eastern European nation. The
21:00
Speaker 1: reports were initially dismissed by former top intelligence officials as
21:06
Speaker 1: the product of Russian disinformation, only to be blatantly confirmed
21:14
Speaker 1: by media outlets, eventually The New York Times, Washington Post,
21:18
Speaker 1: CBS News, and now Hunter Biden's own legal team. Hunter
21:23
Speaker 1: Biden and his own lawyers have previously tried to so
21:26
Speaker 1: doubt that the alleged water damage computer abandoned at mac
21:30
Speaker 1: Isaac's shop was in fact even Biden's. They're like, oh,
21:33
Speaker 1: we don't know then, they said. Hunter Biden told CBS
21:38
Speaker 1: News in a twenty twenty one interview, there could be
21:41
Speaker 1: a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It
21:44
Speaker 1: could be that I was hacked. It could be that
21:47
Speaker 1: it was then that it was Russian intelligence. It could
21:51
Speaker 1: be that it was stolen from me. He said. Well,
21:55
Speaker 1: if there's anything you can take away from today's show,
21:57
Speaker 1: it's this. It's very clear. It's extremely clear that Hunter
22:06
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop is real, and they've said so. Hunter Biden
22:11
Speaker 1: has said so, his entire team of lawyers have said so.
22:16
Speaker 1: So there is no doubt. There's another big story that's
22:23
Speaker 1: kind of broken, and it's been a quiet one, but
22:26
Speaker 1: it's a very important one. The Senate Republicans have now
22:31
Speaker 1: penned a letter asking direct TV to explain their decision
22:36
Speaker 1: on why they decided to ditch a Republican conservative network
22:41
Speaker 1: called Newsmax. A group of leading Senate Republicans is now
22:46
Speaker 1: requesting information from cable provider Direct TV surrounding its recent
22:52
Speaker 1: decision to drop conservative network Newsmax from its channel lineup.
22:56
Speaker 1: In a letter dated February the first, and shared exclusively
23:01
Speaker 1: with a Hill newspaper, GOP Center, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham,
23:06
Speaker 1: Mike Lee, Tom Cotton wrote to the cable provider's corporate
23:10
Speaker 1: leadership expressing that they are deeply disturbed by its decision
23:15
Speaker 1: to drop the network, in allege the episode may be
23:17
Speaker 1: the latest example of big business suppressing politically disfavored speech
23:22
Speaker 1: at the behest of liberal Democrats. Direct TV's decision followed
23:27
Speaker 1: recent revelations of collusion between big tech companies and Democrat
23:31
Speaker 1: officials to label conservative speech is misinformation and a censor.
23:35
Speaker 1: At the Center's wrote, the silencing of conservative speech the
23:39
Speaker 1: request of government officials is a direct assault on free
23:42
Speaker 1: speech and a threat to democracy. Direct TV last week
23:48
Speaker 1: drop Newsmax, a smaller conservative news network featuring content that
23:55
Speaker 1: is largely supportive of former President Donald Trump and other conservatives,
23:58
Speaker 1: from its channel lineup, following a dispute between the two
24:01
Speaker 1: parties over carrier fees. Under its previous agreement with Newsmax,
24:06
Speaker 1: which has an audience that is fractional compared to the
24:11
Speaker 1: three leading cable news channels Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC,
24:15
Speaker 1: direct TV paid Newsmax no carrier fees. Direct TV representatives
24:22
Speaker 1: told The Hill last week that during negotiations with a network,
24:24
Speaker 1: it made clear to Newsmax that we wanted to continue
24:28
Speaker 1: to offer the network, but ultimately the network's demands for
24:31
Speaker 1: rate increases would have led to significantly higher costs that
24:35
Speaker 1: we would have to pass on to our broad customer base.
24:41
Speaker 1: In a statement to the Hill on Wednesday, direct TV
24:44
Speaker 1: said it takes the concerns raised by these elected officials seriously,
24:49
Speaker 1: and in our response to the letter, we planned to
24:51
Speaker 1: detail the facts behind our business decision being based on
24:55
Speaker 1: financial terms and not ideology. We continue to offer our
25:01
Speaker 1: customers a balanced mix of twenty four hour news channels
25:05
Speaker 1: as part of a diversified program lineup. The spokesperson went
25:10
Speaker 1: on to say newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy and the networks
25:14
Speaker 1: defenders have countered that the decision is based on political
25:19
Speaker 1: bias against conservatives and pointed to directs TV's move last
25:24
Speaker 1: year dropping oa N, also known as One American News,
25:29
Speaker 1: another less watched pro Trump cable channel, So this is
25:31
Speaker 1: now two in a row. A day after, by the way,
25:35
Speaker 1: it dropped Newsmax from its lineup, direct TV announced the
25:38
Speaker 1: addition of Conservative Opinion and Commentary Network, the first to
25:43
Speaker 1: its lineup. Experts and media observers have said the episode
25:48
Speaker 1: highlights Newsmax's effort to bolster its bargaining power at the
25:53
Speaker 1: negotiating table with cable providers and boost its credibility with
25:57
Speaker 1: conservative audiences. Still leading GOP figures like Trump and fort
26:03
Speaker 1: A Government de santists have rallied around Newsmax as they
26:06
Speaker 1: renewed calls a bias against conservatives and the mainstream media
26:10
Speaker 1: and tech companies. A group of several dozen House Republicans,
26:16
Speaker 1: led by Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas, also sent a
26:19
Speaker 1: letter to direct TV last week bemoaning this new decision,
26:24
Speaker 1: arguing that they will no longer be able to reach
26:26
Speaker 1: conservative voters on a platform that primarily serves conservative leaning
26:30
Speaker 1: areas of the country. All right, let me just take

28:11
Speaker 1: the centers asked the cable provider discloses whether Direct TV
28:15
Speaker 1: or its parent company AT and T communicated with any federal, state,
28:21
Speaker 1: or local government officials regarding the decision to drop NEWSMAX
28:24
Speaker 1: or oa N and whether those government officials made any
28:28
Speaker 1: threats or promised any inducements of pressure on Direct TV
28:34
Speaker 1: to drop the networks. Oh, I'd love to see these emails,
28:38
Speaker 1: wouldn't you? Now? Do I think they probably knew that
28:41
Speaker 1: they wanted to drop this network just because it was
28:43
Speaker 1: too conservative. Yes, Do I think that they could have
28:47
Speaker 1: paid probably a pretty small fee and figure that's out. Yes,
28:51
Speaker 1: with OA n Becauld they probably kept OAM and they
28:54
Speaker 1: chose not to on purpose because it was conservative. Yes.
28:59
Speaker 1: Is there biased and big tech, especially direct TV and
29:03
Speaker 1: AT and T, of course there is. We know this.
29:07
Speaker 1: This isn't something new, This isn't something shocking, right, This
29:12
Speaker 1: is a normal day of business for these people on
29:16
Speaker 1: the left. It is concerning, by the way, when you
29:20
Speaker 1: see this happening, because Republicans keep getting squeezed, Conservatives keep
29:29
Speaker 1: getting squeezed, and when that starts to happen this way,
29:34
Speaker 1: it's a real problem. One other thing that happened today
29:38
Speaker 1: that we should all be celebrating right now is the
29:41
Speaker 1: epic meltdown of AOC. Some people did something as how
29:47
Speaker 1: the squad describe nine to eleven. You may remember that. Yes,
29:54
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. The squad decide it was a
29:59
Speaker 1: good idea describe nine eleven as some people did something.
30:04
Speaker 1: That's what alam Omar had to say. Well, the House
30:08
Speaker 1: has now ousted elam Amar from the Foreign Affairs Committee
30:12
Speaker 1: in a party line vote. Many have said she's the
30:17
Speaker 1: face of anti Semitism and the Democratic Party, and they
30:20
Speaker 1: say it has no place representing American interests. AOC had
30:25
Speaker 1: an epic meltdown over this now, claiming it's the targeting
30:31
Speaker 1: of women of color, Yes, targeting women of color. AOC
30:38
Speaker 1: not holding back, screaming about this. Listen, every nice for
30:42
Speaker 1: one minute, thank you now. As also as a fellow
30:46
Speaker 1: New Yorker, I think one of the things that we
30:49
Speaker 1: should talk about here is also one of the disgusting
30:51
Speaker 1: legacies after nine to eleven has been the targeting and
30:54
Speaker 1: racism against Muslim Americans throughout the United States of America,
30:58
Speaker 1: and this is an extension of that legacy. Consistency. There
31:01
Speaker 1: is nothing consistent with the Republican parties continued attack except
31:06
Speaker 1: for the racism and excitement of violence against women of
31:08
Speaker 1: color in this body. I had a member of the
31:11
Speaker 1: Republican Caucus threatened my life and you all, and the
31:15
Speaker 1: Republican Caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious
31:18
Speaker 1: committee assignments in this Congress. Don't tell me this is
31:22
Speaker 1: about consistency. Don't tell me that this is about an abdicate,
31:26
Speaker 1: a condemnation of anti Semitic remarks. When you have a
31:29
Speaker 1: member of the Republican Caucus who who has talked about
31:32
Speaker 1: Jewish base lasers and an entired amount of tropes, and
31:36
Speaker 1: also elevated her to some of the highest committee assignments
31:39
Speaker 1: in this body. This is about targeting women of color
31:42
Speaker 1: in this in the United States of America. Don't tell
31:45
Speaker 1: me because I didn't get a single attirely my life.
31:48
Speaker 1: Who was threatened? Thank you. Oh she's mad. Slammed her
31:52
Speaker 1: book down there too. She's not playing around, Yes, she's angry. Folks.
32:00
Speaker 1: Representative AOC melted down on that floor of the House
32:05
Speaker 1: after anti Semite Representative Elamo Mar, she hates Jewish people,
32:10
Speaker 1: was denied a spot on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
32:13
Speaker 1: Omar's hatred of Israel and Jewish people in particular has
32:16
Speaker 1: been on permanent display the entire time she's been the House.
32:20
Speaker 1: Omar also attacks America as well. Why would you have
32:24
Speaker 1: someone with these two things, filled with so much hate
32:29
Speaker 1: for Western civilization in general, on a vital pro American committee.
32:35
Speaker 1: After the vote came down along party lines to eighteen
32:37
Speaker 1: to two eleven to denne Omar the seat, Omar fellow
32:41
Speaker 1: Squad member AOC put on this performance. She was angry,
32:47
Speaker 1: slammed her book down on the podium, and stormed out
32:49
Speaker 1: of Congress. Yes, just never forget the reason why Alamo
32:56
Speaker 1: Mar shouldn't be on this committee. Something happened nine to eleven. Right,
33:02
Speaker 1: she said something something, racism against Muslim Americans, racism and
33:07
Speaker 1: incitement of violence against women of color, threatened my life. Yes,
33:13
Speaker 1: that's the people you're dealing with here. She's angry, very angry.
33:19
Speaker 1: Don't tell me about a condemnation of anti Semitic right
33:23
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, Jewish space lasers targeting women of color.
33:27
Speaker 1: My life was threatened. Of course, the left will praise
33:31
Speaker 1: her and say she's done a great job. Don't forget
33:35
Speaker 1: to share this podcast with your family and your friends.
33:38
