Corruption cover-up: Hunter Biden's art dealer says his work is "important" · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people. They're talking obviously about
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: China and this balloon and the fact that we finally
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: shot down a spy balloon and now China's threatening us
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: after they invaded our airspace, and how weak our president
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is ahead of the state of the Union. But there's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: another issue that's come out of that, and this is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that if you're angry and you're outraged over
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: this balloon spying on this country, well, then why aren't
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you really angry and really outraged over China's spying on
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you on your phone? If you have TikTok. If you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have TikTok, there is an extremely good chance that you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: have been spied on and they have gotten virtually any
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: data they want to get from you off of your phone.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: TikTok is nothing more than a spy apparatus of the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist government. Why is it taking so long for
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: us to actually deal with it? And why is it
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that so many Americans are willing to put themselves and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: their children at risks by using a platform that clearly
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: should in fact be banned. If you're upset about this
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: spy balloon, you should be very upset about TikTok. Congressman
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Rocana was on CNBC talking about this spy balloon and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: CNBC apologizing on behalf of the Chinese Communist government. I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: gonna play that for you because what CNBC is saying is, Hey,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: no one should really be that upset. No one should
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be really that angry, no one should really be frustrated. Okay,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: so calm down. No one should be that upset over
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: what we have witnessed with this Chinese spy balloon, because
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know, we basically do the same things too. Do
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we send spy planes over China and around China? They say, well, sure,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we tried to some of the areas. Do we send
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: balloons over China? Not that we know of, but this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: is pretty much normal. Maybe Americans shouldn't be that upset
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: about China doing this in America. That's actually what CNBC
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is saying. Now, why are they saying this? You can
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: figure out any different reason. It could be finances, it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: could be the market, It could be the Chinese in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: general give them intel and information on the markets. Who
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: knows what it is. Or it just could be their
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: bunch of liberal, woke scumbags at CNBC that are just
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: like all the other mainstream media. But I want you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to hear what the Congressman said in response to this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Chinese propaganda justifying their spy plane over the United States
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of America, and then hear what he has to say
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: about TikTok in response to this consequences, Bro, do you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: think it is a Casablanca incident where shocked shocked that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they're spying on us? I mean, don't we have an
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: extensive operations to try to find out what's happening in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: China and what they're doing in the islands that they're building.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And I mean, we countries do this, don't they should it?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Should there be a response from US regarding TikTok or
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: regarding doing business in China and whether we allow companies
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to do that. But sure, Joe, Look, we understand through
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: our satellites we have information about China would be responsible
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for US not to protect American national security. And they
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have satellites that they have imaged probably every quarter every
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: inch of the United States. But that's very different at
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: having a balloon traverse United States airspace and go across
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the entire continental United States. I mean, we don't know
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what was in this balloon or what could be in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a future balloon. And that's why I think this incident
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is different. I do think it raises serious questions again
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: about TikTok. I have raised them, others have raised them.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I believe there should be a forced sale to an
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: American company. You can't just ban something that millions of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: young people are using. But the issues are very serious
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: about who's collecting this data, is it being used to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: manipulate information to many American young people and has to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be action reasonable action that the kidrestakes on that. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you just had a congressman say and connect the Chinese
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: spy balloon to what's happening with TikTok. Right now he's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: saying it's time to force a sale of TikTok. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't agree more on that. He's saying, this is a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: company that is just straight up spying on us. Now,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: before I get into more of that, I want to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick.
• 4:27

• 5:46
  Speaker 1: slash ben. Now Representative our Congressman Stewart has now come
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out saying he wants to protect kids the same way
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that we need to protect kids from alcohol. We could
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: also in cigarettes, we can protect them from TikTok. It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: an emotional heroin. We know how damaging it is on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: children's minds and what they're feeding them. Listen to this
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: before you go. So, I want to ask you about
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: this new legislation you're set to introduce. It would ban
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: kids under the age of thirteen from using social media platforms.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You cite this growing evidence of the link between kids
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: using those apps and the negative effect on children's mental health.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it would be constitutional. What's your
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: plan to break through the powerful big tech industry to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: get this past? Oh yeah, I mean we're gonna have
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: opposition of this, no doubt. And your comment about constitutionality,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we think we've written in a such way that it is,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and of course I want it to be. But oh
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: my gosh, Jake, if you're a parent of young children
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: now and you see the rise in anxiety and depression.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We're nearly forty percent of kids between age fourteen and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: twenty four are clinically diagnosed with anxiety depression, and you
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: have something like the high twenties who contemplated suicide. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: we know that there's a direct correlation between social media
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: engagement when the average thirteen year old in the United
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: States spends nine hours a day on social media. Oh
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my gosh. We protect our kids from drinking and from smoking.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: We don't let them have a driver's license to their
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: sixteen can't we protect nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen year
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: olds from having their minds wired with this what Chinese
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: developed with TikTok, which is just the emotional heroine. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we know that it is so and this is bipartisan
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: as well. The White House has been speaking on this recently.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The Surgeon General spoke on it just today. We think
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: there's bipartisan effort that can be made here. The Surgeon
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: General has spoken on this emotional heroine. Listen to the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: stats that he just said, and I'm going to go
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: back through these. Okay, if you're a parent, if you're
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a grandparent of young children now, and you see the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: rise and anxiety and depression where nearly forty percent of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: kids between the ages of fourteen and twenty four are
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and you have something
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like that in the high twenties who have contemplated suicide.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And we know that there's a direct correlation between social
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: media engagement when the average thirteen year old in the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: United States of America spends nine hours a day on
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: social media. And by the way, Chinese kids aren't spending
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: nine hours on these platforms in China. In fact, in China,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they're very well regulated in China. It's not a free
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: for all like it is in America. And this is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on top of the fact that they apparently are looking
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: at your data on TikTok, because this is nothing more
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: than a spying apparatus for China. That's what it is, says,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: spying apparatus. So if you're angry, if you are upset,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: okay about this spy balloon, you should be enraged over
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: what our government has allowed China to do to infiltrate
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: our country and literally your cell phone. This is destroying
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: our kids' lives. There's another Democratic representative who has come out,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and the Democratic representative who has come out says, not
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: only does TikTok threat and security and families, but it's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: influencing our kids in horrific ways. This is another Democrat Therefore,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I say this is bipartisan. Listen carefully. So there's the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: military aspect here and the increased conflicts and tensions between
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the two countries. There's also an economic and national security
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: conflict that's brewing as well. And I want to get
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you to respond to what Democratic Senator Michael Bennett of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Colorado said. He's calling on Apple and Google to now
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: completely remove TikTok from the app stores, calling it a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: quote unacceptable threat to the national security of the United States. Now,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: previously we had seen TikTok removed from certain government mint devices, right,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: but this is a completely larger, separate move. Do you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: agree with that? Do you agree with that call it
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is a national security threat? Well, look, this is controversial because,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of course a lot of Americans like TikTok, But at
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, it is a threat to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: our national security. And let me just speak for a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: second as a dat I don't want an app that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: steals my daughter's data and influences their behavior on their phones. Now,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they're too young to have phones right now, but they're
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: going to get phones someday soon, and I don't want
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a Chinese company stealing their data. That's exactly what TikTok does,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and so it is a threat not just to our
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: national security writ large, but frankly to American families. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: do you think that Apple and Google should heed those
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: warnings and remove TikTok from their app stores. Well, one
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of the things we're going to be discussing on the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: China Committee is how to respond in a comprehensive way
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to all these national security threats, some of which come
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in the form of missiles pointed at time I want,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: some of which come in the form of apps that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: show up on our apps, on the app stores, on
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: our phones. And we're going to have to develop a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: comprehensive strategy because maybe we should ban TikTok, but then
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: what happens to the next TikTok that comes along. So
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: these actions that Senator Bennett is calling for on TikTok specifically,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they probably make sense, but let's make sure we have
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a comprehensive policy so that the next app gets dealt
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: with as well. This is a Democrat warning parents that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: not only are Chinese, the Chinese government influencing your child's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: psyche in many ways, destroying your child's mind, getting them
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: addicted to something that causes harm, depression, anxiety, and twenty
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: percent now are dealing with the idea of suicide, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they're also stealing your child's data. How much is that worth, right?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: How much is that going to be worth to them?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: A lot? Let's focus for a moment on the state
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of the Union and what the President has got to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: say about China, about this balloon about TikTok. You gotta
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: understand now he's in a really rough position. I believe
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the presidents clearly compromised because the Chinese Communists have dirt
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on him and his son. They owned them. They gave
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: literally over a billion dollars and loans to his son,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and they did business including ten percent for the big guy.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: We know that ten percent for the big guy. What
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that means, It means ten percent for the big guy,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden. That money was coming from CFE, a Chinese
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: communist government. We also know that our strategical reserves were
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: sent on a tanker directly to CEFE sibsidiary, this right
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: before the president or the midterm elections. We know that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: for a fact. We know that Hunter Biden was making
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: millions a million of dollars and the Biden crime family
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: was making millions and millions of dollars from China. What
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: do they have on us that our president cannot and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: has not one single time stood up to China so far.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So the President's going to have to do something. I'm
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: gonna state the Union to make you believe, okay again,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to make you believe that he is standing up to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Chinese being tough. Why is it that the president won't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: even take on an app? I mean, you got to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: think about TikTok from just the standpoint of it's it's
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a damn app. Why is it the president won't stand
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: up on an app? We have leverage, by the way,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: we know we have leverage. How do we know that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we have leverage? We have leverage, folks, because there's a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: massive trade deficit. China needs America more than America needs China.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Here's a four hundred billion dollar trade deficit with China.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, listen to CNBC this morning
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: talking about it. Judge. Is based on the public reporting,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it look like it happened a number of times before.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: But the China Committee is going to get a full
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: briefing from the relevant administration officials so we can get
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the facts. The point is though, that this is unnecessarily
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: escalatory for China and they have a lot to lose.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a four hundred billion trade deficit
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: with China. That means we have far more leverage. They
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: need us to buy things from them. Their economy is
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: far more dependent on us. For them to take these
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: kind of escalatory measures is not in their self interest.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And we need to be very very clear that this
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is unacceptable. Four hundred billion dollar trade deficit with China, right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: they have a lot to lose. So why aren't we
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: acting like we have leverage? We actually have four hundred
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: billion dollars per year and leverage over China. They need
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: us far more than we need them, and we know
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: this now. It's not up for debate, it's just the facts.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So why is everybody acting like China owns us? I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: don't think they own us the country. I think they
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: own this White House. And the President's gonna have to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: walk into that stay the Union, and the President's going
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to have to convince the American people that owe everything's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: just fine. Of course the media is going to help him,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: but the damage is being done. How do I know this?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Look at the AP headline from today Biden twenty twenty
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: four question mark most Democrats say no, thank you. A
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: new AP pole shows majority of Democrats now for the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: first time, think one term is plenty for President Joe Biden,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: despite his insistence that he plans to seek reelection twenty
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: twenty four. That according to a new poll from the AP,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Research shows that just thirty seven percent of Democrats say
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: they want him to seek a second term. That's down
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: from fifty two percent in the weeks before last year's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: midterm election. So what's changed since then? Well, one, you've
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: got the Chinese that are owning this country with his spine,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've got
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the classified documents. We've got the big guy taken ten percent.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: We have more classified documents, and he lied about that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: than there is more classified documents found he lied about that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: While the Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories an ability
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to quote govern the poll suggests relatively few US adults
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: give him high marks on either of those categories. As well.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Follow up interviews with Pole respondent suggested that many believe
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the eighty year old's age is a liability it's not
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: his age so much as his cognitive decline that everybody
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: knows is happening. They say. People are focused on his coughing,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: his gaffs, and the possibility that the world's most stressful
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: job would be better suited for quote someone younger. I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: honestly think he would be too old, said Sarah Overman,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, a Democrat who works in Edge Raleigh, North Carolina.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: We could use someone younger in office. So as the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: President gives to say the Union on Tuesday, he has
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a chance to confront fundamental doubts about his competence to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: govern the ap rights. Biden has previously leaned heavily on
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: his track record to say that he's more than up
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to the task. When asked if he can handle the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: office's responsibility at his age, the President has often responded
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: as if he's accepting a dare watch me. But the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: poll numbers are showing now that just thirty seven percent
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: of Democrats say President Joe Biden should run for reelection
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. That is down from fifty two
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: percent in October. Part of this is the decline in
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: his cognitive decline, right, But the other part of this is.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I think many Democrats realize this dude is just way
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: too compromised with a corruption, the scandals, the classified documents,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and his family's business. In fact, overall, forty one percent
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: approve of how Biden is handling his job as president.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: The polls show similar to ratings at the end of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: last year, and we know how bad the economy was
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the end of last year and gas prices were through
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the roof. A majority of Democrats still approve of the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: job Joe Biden is doing as president, yet their appetite
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for a re election campaign has slipped significantly, despite his
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: electoral track record. In fact, only twenty two percent of
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: US adults overall say he should run again. That's down
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: from twenty nine percent who said before last last year's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: midterms that he should run again. The decline among Democrats
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: saying Biden shouldn't run again for president also appears concentrate
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: among young people. Young Democrats ages forty five and over,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: forty nine percent excuse me, say Biden should run for reelection,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: nearly as many as the fifty eight who said he
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: should run in October, but among those at five and under,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: only twenty three percent of Democrats now say should run
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: for reelection forty five is what they said before the midterms.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: So they don't like him, they don't trust them, they're
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: ready to be done with him. Now. This also goes
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: back to the scandals. How does this president overcome the scandals? Look,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the media is trying to help him, There's no doubt
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: about it. Give you another example of that. Bart Jansen,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: who is a writer for USA Today, actually put out
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: this article and this headline in the USA Today paper
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: quote Hunter Biden's arts dealer says his work is important period.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Why the painting's factor into the GOP probes? Again, that's
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the media trying to cover for Hunter Biden in the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: corruption at the White House. Hunter Biden's paintings have drawn
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the eye of House Republicans, but not for the art.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: The House Oversighting Accountability committees want to know who bought
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the art and how much they paid. After list prices
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: initially range from a half a million dollars and upwards.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: The chairman called the figures exorbitant for a novice artist,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in question whether it amounted to influence pedaling over federal policy.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: But the White House create a policy for the dealer
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to set prices without President, Joe Biden or his sons
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: knowing the buyers. George Burrest, the New York gallery owner
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: who put these art exhibits together and arrange the sales,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: defended Hunter Biden and predicted he would be one of
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the most consequential artists in this century. So a crackhead,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: prostitute loving dude who can't even give his own kid
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: his own last name, we're supposed to believe now, who
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: didn't even know if the laptop was his, who says
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: there maybe another laptop out there that the Russians got
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: from him. With the hookers he was doing and the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: human insects trafficking he was involved in, they now want
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: you to believe that he is going to be again.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden would be one of the most consequential artists
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in this century. All right, Let me just take a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: quick pause here, and I do want to tell you
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: about our friends at August of Precious Medals. If you've
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: been saving for a long time for retirement, you know
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that you need to protect your money, and one way
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to do that is with a gold Ira. I'm excited
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: about telling you about a company that I actually use.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I have actually worked with a gust of precious medals.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: They are different because they will even tell you if
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a gold Ira isn't your answer, they give you just
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the facts. Now, a gust of precious metal is all
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: about protecting your IRA and your four oh one k.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: They're great people and a great conservative company. They're great
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: people at a great conservative company. They understand right now
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that it's crazy with our economy and it's extremely important,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: especially if you're close to retirement, to protect your assets
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: because there's no time to make up losses. So if
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more, then you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: should take a look at their free guide and you
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: should really sign up for something that I've done. It's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a web conference where you talk to a top individual
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: about gold iras and you're four oh one k. Check
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: them out and get the peace of mind that you're
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: protecting your hard earned assets when you get really close
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to retirement. Eight seven seven four the number four gold
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Ira eight seven seven four Gold Ira or visit them
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: online at Augusta Precious Metals dot com. Say I sent
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you and they will pay your fees for up to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals dot Com. Eight seven
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: seven four gold Ira Republicans are investigating Hunter Biden's art
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: sales as part of their wide ranging inquiries and to
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: his business dealings and his bank records, hundreds of which
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have been flagged by banks for suspicious activity reports. Representative
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: James Comer, the Oversight Committee chairman, question whether Hunter Biden
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: was peddling influence to Forden adversaries by using high value
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: art to evade US sanctions. With prices on his work
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: were initially listed up to half a million dollars and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: now ranging from fifty five thousand to two hundred and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars apiece. The Committee asked for documents
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: showing communications with a White House about any art, how
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the prices are set for the art, who attended Hunter
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Biden's art shows, and who bought the paintings. This as
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: there's been rumors and word that many of these art
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: paintings may have been bought from people in you guessed
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: at China. Now the Committee has made it clear what
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: they want to do is they want to question Hunter
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Biden's art dealer. Forget Hunter Biden, we want to talk
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to the art dealer. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: is investigating President Joe Biden and his family's foreign and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: domestic influence peddling schemes. James Comer wrote to Burgess requesting
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a transcribe interview by February the fifteenth. Despite being a
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: novice artist, and that's what he is, Hunter Biden has
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: received exorbitant amounts of money selling his artwork. The buyer's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: identities remain unknown, and you appear to be the sole
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: record keeper of these lucrative transactions. The letter from Congress
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: says to Hunter Biden's good buddy, who's selling the living
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: snot out of this artwork. Burgess told USA Today he
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: couldn't comment on the Commiss's requests, but he said he's
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: strived to maintain the integrity of artists and the privacy
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of art collectors, saying this more to USA Today than
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: he said to Congress. I know that there's a lot
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of politics involved at the moment, which is a shame,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: because his work is not only good, it's important Hunter
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the century because the world needs his art now more
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: than ever. The dealer says, now, by the way, the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: dealers making a crap ton of money off Hunter Biden.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: This is a brilliant move for him. Right. Burgess, the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: art dealer, said he began working with Hunter Biden before
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: his father was nominated to become president. Burgess prays Hunter Biden,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: who'll struggled with drug addiction for his art, reflecting perseverance
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and rising up from after a fall. Seriously, the White
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: House policy is still consistent. They claim, we are distancing
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: ourselves the President from his son's art career. In fact,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the White House announcing July of twenty twenty one, after
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: questions grew about the art sales, that Joe and Hunter
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know who was buying their son's art because all
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: sales will be handled through the gallery. That's supposed to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: be enough for all of us to be happy. Right,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. Quote, we believe this is a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: reasonable system that's been established that allows for Hunter Biden
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to work in his profession with appropriate safeguards. Now, if
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you think about the way that they've set up this
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: art dealing, it's actually perfect for Hunter Biden. He can
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: take bribes from people around the world and no one
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: knows who's bribing him, and they can say, oh, We're
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: not being bribed because he's a novice artist. It's getting
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a half million dollars for a painting and maybe even more.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: And the White House says, oh, we've we've insulated ourselves,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we've safeguarded ourselves, we've protected ourselves, right, We've done everything
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: we can to make sure that we're good, to make
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: sure everything's gonna be okay. There's no problems here, there's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: no issues here, there's no you know, corruption here. We're
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: really fine, Like everything is okay. Seriously, this is now
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: what we're looking at. This is now where we are.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I want you to go back to what Donald Trump
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: had to say for just a moment about Hunter Biden's artwork.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And this was last year, and like I think it
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: was in October when he was asked this by Judge
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Jannine and Fox listen talking about Hunter Biden and a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: special counsel. This week, Mark Harland was asked again about
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: whether or not he would appoint a special counsel to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: investigate Hunter Biden. Again. Hunter Biden, who couldn't get his
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: art so called art listed in any gallery until his
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: father became president, now selling at the same prices as
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a money or a dega, no special counsel, not edith.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's the least of it. But the art
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: is so terrible. So he's getting a half a million
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: dollars a painting, and I was seeing that a Monee
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: was less. Okay, it's it's such a terrible city situation,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and we're not going to learn who the buyers are.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Should I buy one? But is it give me great
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: access to the way They say that they're they that
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a wall. They have no idea, but
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: there are people who are actually coming to the exhibits.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: So first of all, the concept of it is ridiculous.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And you said you couldn't get in the past. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: don't think he ever painted before. I think he just started.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: So he's learning by the numbers. And let me tell you,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I believe that as bad as that is, it's it's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: peanuts compared to other things. Okay, but it's so obviously horrible.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I've had people say that's a terrible thing. That is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a terrible thing. What's going on? And they're getting numbers
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: like nobody has a lot of money. Nobody's getting In fact,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about opening up my own gallery. I'm giving
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: it yeah, you're going to charge I think a couple
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of million dollars of paintings go to paint. I'll paint
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell I have to paint. You get two
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: million dollars, mister President, thank you so much for having it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I mean he's joking, but he's not joking, right, I mean,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: if that dude's getting a half million, I could paint
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: whatever I want. I should be worth two million. Right.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: If there's a painting that and I get my hands
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: on it, like, let's go. This is like finger painting
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: for millions. Don't tell me he's buying it, so then
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about there's influence. That's that's
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: also the joke here, right, That's that's the humorous part here,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the part that will make you laugh. It's not a joke.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: These are the things that this administration is going to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: have to overcome. This is why the American people have
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: lost all faith in this administration. You cannot trust them
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: on China. You cannot trust them to shoot down a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Dan balloon White House. You know, Press Secretary again when
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: she was asked about this artwork, listened to the dodge
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: of this White House, and this was again over a
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: year ago. It's been a bit to ask you quickly
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: about three different The first subject are is we have
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: The New York Post reported on Friday that the first
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: son had sold by prints of his artworks for seventy
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars each, and that a team employers is
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: reviewing the prospective buyers who are going to be allowed
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: into an upcoming New York show. That seems to suggest
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a departure from the White House purport agreement where the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: purchasers would be anonymous. As somebody you could say the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: White House knows who purchased the high prints, and whether
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: there is indeed a departure to the arrangement that there
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: would be an anonymity here. I know this is your
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: favorite topic, but again it still is the purview of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the gallerist. We still do not know and will not
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: know who purchases any paintings. And the President remains proud
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of his son. Did you have another question on something else?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Otherwise we're going to move on to some other topics.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Lot's going on in the world, Yes, it's going on
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: in our world right. The president is proud of his son.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: He is so proud of the son screwing the American
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: people over and the big guy is just proud to
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: know that it's son's paintings prints Okay, not even original's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: prints going for seventy five thousand dollars a piece. Seventy
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: five k, Prince. I mean, if I was a dad,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you be proud of your son for pulling this
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: crap off? Like, you gotta be kidding me. You're getting
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: how much for a print? Seventy five? Granddad? How maude
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you sell five of them? Well, let's give a little
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: kick back to the big guy and we'll just keep
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: this going. This is amazing. What could go wrong here? Right?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Everything is brilliant. So when you watch the State of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the Union, just know this is the real issues the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: president should be dealing with and he's not. And watch
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: how weak he's gonna look. And he's gonna try to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: claim some sort of success for shooting down this balloon.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Get ready for that. That's gonna be part of this
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: pr rewrite on the China policy. Not that's a disaster,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: but that America is strong and then America's standing up
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and America's not flinching. That's what they're gonna say. Make
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: sure you share a podcast with your family and friends.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Please give us a five star review so that we
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: can move up on the charts, and we'll see you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: back here tomorrow.
