House DESTROYS FBI Dir. Wray on Politicization of FBI & protecting the BIDENS! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It has been nine hundred days since the January sixth
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: pipe bombs were planted, and the FBI still refuses to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: provide information why as Director Ray after nine hundred days
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: stonewalling basic questions about the individual who may have found
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the pipe bombs in front of the Democratic National Committee.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: This comes as the Secret Service says they've wrapped up
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: their investigation into the cocaine found at the White House,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and guess what happened.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: They are never gonna know.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They have not found anybody connected with the cocaine. So
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the most secure building in America, with more cameras than
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen before, with the Secret Service and everyone
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: else there, you can't tell me, right next to the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: White House, right next to the Oval Office inside of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the White House, who found coin? Apparently you can't. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: cannot find it? Is that disgusting? You better believe it's disgusting.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: It is infuriating, and it's exactly what I would expect
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: when there is a cover up. I have no doubt
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that they could figure it out if they wanted to,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And if this was some other substance, it would have
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: put people's lives at risk.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: If it was.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Anthrax or something else, I promise you they wouldn't come
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: out today and be like, oh, couldn't figure it out,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: too hard to figure out, just something we can't figure out.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: There is no way in hell that this would be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the narrative. There is no way that they would come
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: out and say that they couldn't find the person. If
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it was a substance that would have been putting people's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: lives at risk. But since it's cocaine and it's probably
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: someone's cocaine that they want to protect or they don't
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: want to have to resign from the White House or
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: be fired from the White House staff, they're now just saying, yep,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out case clothes. Now, I want you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to remember the part about the cocaine as I tell
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you the other part of this story. Now, this other
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: part of the story is about the pipe bombs. A
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: lot of people forgot that on January the sixth, there
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: were pipe bombs that were found in Washington, d c.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: These pipe bombs that were found, there are people that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: have a lot of questions about them, and it's been
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: nine hundred days. Why can't we get answers to those
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: basic questions. Chairman Jim Jordan opened his remarks yesterday by
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: listing out a number of allegations and quoting findings from
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a recent and sweeping federal court opinion out of Louisiana
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that found substantial evidence quote unquote of government censorship, including
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: by the FBI. Here's what's truly unbelievable, he said, here's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what's amazing. The Justice Department and the FBI want the taxpayers.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: They censored the parents, they labeled the Catholics, they called radicals.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They want them to pay for a new FBI headquarters.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And they went FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reauthorization
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of the seven h two form in its current form.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: He went on to say, we know the Vice of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Court was abused to spy on the Trump campaign and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: people around Donald Trump. Jordan went on to reiterate his
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: plans to push this year for significant reforms to the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: FISA provisions, which grant the FBI warrantless surveillance authority and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: limit the Department of Justice funding through Congress's upcoming appropriations process.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Ranking Member Democrat New York Jerry Nadler and other Democrats
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: during the hearing repeatedly traced the GOP concerns back to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump, the top twenty twenty four GOP candidate,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and the multitude of legal charges Trump is facing, including
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: alleged Espionage Act violations. Nadler then accused Republicans of having
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: ulterior motives to protect Trump and to return him to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the White House in the next election. Jordan then at
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: one point appealed to Democrats by noting that, in addition
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to broad findings of ficsive a court abuse, a court
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: found the FBI had misused the FISA authority in twenty
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: twenty against protesters of the left wing group Black Lives Matter.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So if you were protesting Black Lives Matter, they were
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: abusing their power and spying on you. Representative Thomas Massey,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a Republican from Kentucky, showed new surveillance footage related to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: pipe bombs that the FBI says were found outside the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Republican and the Democratic National Committees on the day of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: January sixth, capral Riot. Massey then went on to say
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the video indicated the bombs, which never detonated, were intended
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to cause the quote maximum distraction for law enforcement during
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the riots. It's been nine hundred days I want you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to hear his questioning of the FBI Director Ray and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: just how out of control the deep state has gotten.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Director Ray inlight of information provided to us about the
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: FBI's investigation of the January sixth pipe bombs in an
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: interview with Assistant Director Stephen John Twino Chairman Jordan and
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I sent you a letter a month ago. Some of
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the information that we found in that interview was that
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: phone data that could have helped to identify the pipe
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: bomber was corrupted, was unusable. He also wasn't sure who
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: founder how the second bomb was found at the DNC.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Do you know how the second bomb was found at
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the DNC and when do you plan on answering our letter?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Well as to the letter, I will work with the
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: department to make sure we can figure out what information
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: we can provide. As you know, this is a very active,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: ongoing investigation and there are some restrictions on that, but we.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Can handle classified information, and we fund your department, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: so you need to provide.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: That it's not respectfully, it's not an issue of classification.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: It's an issue of commenting on ongoing criminal investigations, which
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: is something that by long standing department policy, we are
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: restricted in doing it. In fact, the last administration actually
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: strengthened those policies partly.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: That's not our policy though, and we fund you. So
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: let's move on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Do you know how the second life bomb was Can
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you tell us how the second pipe.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Bomb was found at the DNC Again, I'm not going
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to get into that here.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: At nine hundred days ago is when this happened, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: you said you had total confidence we'd apprehend the subject.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: We've found video that looks like somebody a passer by
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: miraculously found this pipe bomb at the DNC and then
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: notified the police. Miraculously, I say, because it was specifically
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the same the precise time to cause the maximum distraction
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: from the events going on at the capitol. Can you
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: show this video that we have please, I'd like to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: know if the director has seen this.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Now. The video that he's showing this is somebody with
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a mask on, wearing a hat.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: They're walking in front of the DNC, which is out
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of the view on the right hand side. You'll see
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: him come into view. He goes to one police car,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: he goes to another police car. He's holding a backpack,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: he's got a mask on, he's talking to the police
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and within a minute they start scrambling. You'll see the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: camera turn to the pipe bomb. The location of the
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: pipe bomb, by the way, I believe the Metro police
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: are now getting out of the car, and that's Vice
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: President Elect's detail in the black suv I believe parked
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: about thirty feet from the pipe bomb eating lunch. Okay,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: now we go over to the location of the pipe bomb.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: The cameras are scrambling. It appears to me that that's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: not a coincidence that the person with the backpack who
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: walked by that bench and then went up to the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: police and the detail didn't didn't do that accidentally. They
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: had a purpose in mind, and that what transpired after
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that was the result of information that person gave to them.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: If that person found the pipe bomb, would they be
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: a suspect.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Well, again, I don't want to speculate about specific individuals.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: I will tell you that we have done thousands of interviews,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: reviewed something like forty thousand video files, of which this
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: is one says five hundred something tips.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Have you interviewed you the crisis.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: We have conducted all logical investigative steps and interviewed all
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: logical individuals at this.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Then you need it's nine hundred you need to tell
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: us what you found, because we're finding stuff you haven't
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: released into the public.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And well, we're finding stuff that you haven't released into
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the public. Now you listen to the question of Christopher
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Ray about the pipe bomb. It's been nine hundred days.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He didn't have answers, actually does have answers. He's refusing
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to answer the questions and have transparency in government. And
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this is exactly why Republicans were grilling Director Ray, because
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: it's obvious that there are major or civil liberty violations
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: by the United States government against its people. This hearing,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, which typically occurs annually as part of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a congressional oversight, marked the first time Ray has testified
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: since the House Republicans took over. It allowed them to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: publicly confront the FBI director where their contentions that that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the bureau has unfairly targeted conservatives. The chairman, Jim Jordan,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: opened his remarks by listing out a number of allegations
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in quoting findings from a recent and sweeping federal court
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: opinion that says, you guys are attacking us right, you're
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: attacking us on social media.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You've been reprimanded for that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You have labeled parents domestic terrorists and they showed up
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: at school board meetings. You have labeled us as domestic terrorists.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Let's not overlook that you won't answer questions and you've
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: covered up crimes by the Biden crime family.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Whistle Blowers are coming out against that.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You claim that you gave people the tools they needed
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to find out what happened with a Biden crime family,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and you.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Won't actually use those tools. You've shut them down.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: You also have charged other people with fair of violations
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that we're working with the Bidens. Yet you haven't charged
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the Bidens, who made even more money doing the same
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: damn thing, with fhair of violations. There's a problem with that.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You go through this list, it is a significant list.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: It is a list that is extremely long of problems
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: with a deep state. And this is why this next
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: election is going to be so important. It's also the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: reason why they're doing everything they can to take out
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump again, this time legally. They're coming after him,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: charging him with crimes and trying to make it where
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he cannot win the presidency because they know that if
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he comes in he is going to have a mandate.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: They know if he comes in, there is no way
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to stop him from doing what he wants to do
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the deep state, because the people
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that would vote for him are giving him that mandate,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: saying go to Washington and clean House.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That's why they're so afraid.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You look at Director Ray and it's obvious that Director
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Ray is using his power to protect the people that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: can put.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Him in power.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He's using his power to make sure that they do
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't lose his job because if Donald Trump
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: gets elected, he's gone. We know this, right, I mean,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: look at the latest on Hunter Biden. For example, Hunter
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Biden on the CEFE Chinese Communist Energy Company, we don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: want to have to register as foreign agents.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: He said this.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden said in May twenty seventeen, in a text
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: exchange with a whistleblower, Tony Babolinski, that he did not
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: want to register as a foreign agent on behalf of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: CEFE China Energy Company, a company that has direct ties
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: with the Chinese Companist Party.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: We know that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: In May t seven, Hunter Biden knew he should be
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: registering as a foreign agent, but he sent a text
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: message to Tony Bibolinsky.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: That has been confirmed.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We've seen it now saying I don't want to register
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: as a foreign agent. Tony Bibolinsky is the whistleblower who
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: devolts the infamous message about his sake of the ten
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: percent being held for the big guy. He met with
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the FBI. After he met with the FBI, guess what happened.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Not a damn thing. They shut down the investigation because
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they knew what had already happened. They had the evidence,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: they had the suspicious activity reports, they knew the money
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: had changed hands. They knew that all of this had
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: gone down, and they looked the other way. And Director
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Ray knows it. Let me also remind you that two
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: months before he texted Tony Bobolinsky saying I don't want
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to register as a foreign agent CF, he had paid
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden a legal retainer for a million dollars and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: another three point eight million in consulting fees. You are consulting,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you were working, You're representing a communist energy company, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: your trying to influence American foreign policy. That's why you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: register as a foreign agent. Quote, no matter what it
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: will need to be, no matter what it will need
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to be a US company at some level in order
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: for US to make bids on federal and state funded projects.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Hunter texted about a CEFE deal with Tony Bobolinski. Also,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: we don't have to register as foreign agents under the FCPA,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: which is much more expansive than people who should know
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: choose not to know, whatever the hell that means. In
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: other words, trust me about this, don't bring it up.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I've got us covered. We are Ford agents. We just
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: get to play by a different set of rules. James Biden,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: by the way, the President's brother, has very particular opinions
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: about this, so I would ask him about the foreign
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: entity regardless, we should have a d come called CEF
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: E America and ownership should be fifty for me and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: fifty for them. He then cut up our fifty in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a separate entity between the four of us, create that company,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: call it BWGB or whatever.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It's just a pass through. So this is money laundering.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He's talking about laundering money just to pass through to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: our own individual pass throughs. These are the actual words
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden on behalf of James Biden and Biden
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: crime family. He then goes on, however, until they find
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it can be used to fund our expenses collectively with agreement.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It is paid out first money when they fund quote unquote.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So it appears that Hunter Biden refer to the Foreign
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Corrupt Practices Act known as the FCPA, as well as
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the Foreign Agents Registration Act. In other words, they knew
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: what they were doing, they knew how to get around it,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: they knew they were playing by a different set of rules.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Tony bible Linski responded to Hunter by requesting where and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: what time a dinner would be held with President Joe Biden,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Hunter's uncle James Biden, the president's brother.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: He says, meeting.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Please let me know if we will do early dinner
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: with your uncle and dad and where? Also for document translation,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: do you want it in simple Chinese or traditional?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: He asked? Quote from Hunter Biden.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Not sure on dinner yet, and whatever is the most
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: common for a Chinese legal document. Hunter Biden responded a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: few hours later, Hunter Biden, Texan, Dad, not in now
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: until eleven. Let me let me and Jim meet at
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: ten at Beverly Hill Hilton, where he's staying. Before the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Texas changed, Hunter Biden signed an agreement to provide legal
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: services to ceefe's Patrick Hoe, an executive who worked closely
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: with the alleged whistleblower, Gal Loft, whom US authorities indicted
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: on Monday for failing to register as a foreign agent
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of CEFE, among other violations.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And let me also be clear.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: About this, this guy that was indicted, I don't believe
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: he's a good guy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I believe he's a corrupt guy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: But you're and everyone that was doing business with the Bidens,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: clearly we're shady and corrupt businessmen that we know about
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: so far. Gal Loff probably understood that he had protections
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and now he's been hung out to dry. When he
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: does this video that he did telling all of us
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: about the Biden crimes, I actually believe him. I believe
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: him because he probably knew that this was the last
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: ditch effort to save himself. He's shady, The Bidens were shady,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: they were doing shady business deals. But he's like, I'm
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: not going down if they're not going down now. Lastly,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: on this, in twenty seventeen, US authorities indicted Hoe for
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: attempting to bribe African officials on behalf of CEFE. Hunter
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Biden referred to Hoe as the fing spy chief of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: China in audio recordings that we now have suspicious activity.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Reports from banks obtained by the House Republicans show that
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's business partner Rob Walker received a three million
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: dollar wire transfer from cef E in twenty seventeen, and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: in turn, for Biden family members Hunter Biden, James Biden,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Halle Biden, and an unidentified Biden Biden received a collective
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: one point three million dollar cut. In addition to that,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the Biden family business received a total of five point
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: one million through multiple shell companies multiple accounts within days
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden's recently unearthed What'sapp message to CEFE. In
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that first text, Hunter Biden five times invoked his father,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: demanding to be paid because President Joe Biden was sitting
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: next to him. That now famous message. I'm sitting here
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: with my father and we would like to understand why
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the commitment made has not been fulfilled. This screen capture
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: shows tell the director that I would like to resolve
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: this now before he gets out of hand, and now
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: means tonight. A few days later, Hunter Biden asked a
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: second CFE business associate, Kevin Dong, for ten million in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: another What's App text, noting the Biden family is best
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: at doing exactly what the chairman wants. Very simple, Hunter
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: wrote ten million per annum budget to use to further
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the interests of you. This move is five million. It's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: completely new to me and not acceptable. Obviously, when apparently
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they tried to backtrack saying no, it's not gonna be
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: ten million. You're gonaet You're gonna have five million, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden said no. He then went on to say this,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I think this is about money.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Hunter added, the Bidens are best I know at doing
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership. So let's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: not quibble over pea nuts, referring to five million dollars
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: as pea nuts. So to be clear, the FBI can't
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: figure out this money laundering scheme. Of course they can.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: They knew all about it before we even knew about it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: They knew crimes are being committed before we even heard
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: about it. They knew the laptop was real before we
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: even knew the laptop existed. And what did they do
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: every time they had a chance. Every time they had
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a chance, they covered it. And that's exactly why Director
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Ray is taking fire at this Congress. As many of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I do a podcast with Center Ted Cruz.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: If you don't listen, listen Verdict with Ted Cruz wherever
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. And I asked him about Christopher
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Ray in his testimony, and I want you to hear
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: part of it from our conversation.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Listen. I want to also move on to.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Another big issue that we teased earlier, and that was
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the Christopher Ray testifying before Congress. There's been a lot
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of fallout from this. You've seen a lot of the clips,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and before we get into some of those, Center, give
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: me your overall take on Christopher Ray. Did he stabilize
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the ship or did it actually make things worse for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: his standing and the defense or lack thereof. I would say,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: if some of the decisions they've made on sced of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: one to ten, what grade would you have given him
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: before Congress?
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Well, let me focus less on his grade before Congress
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: and let me focus more on his grade in the job.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: And in terms of the job, I'd give him an
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: F minus because he has utterly failed to correct the
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: rabid partisanship and the deep politicization of the FBI. He
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: has been at the helm when the FBI has behaved
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: like the DNC's political stormtroopers, and it's done enormous damage.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: And he's also been at the helm when the FBI stonewalled,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: which they have done to Congress over and over and
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: over again.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan talked about some of that stonewalling when he
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: was kind of laying out just how much the FBI
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: has fallen under his direction. And here's part of the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: reminder the American people about what's happened with the politicalization
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: of the FBI and the.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Dj Americans have seen the FBI's Richmond Field office put
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: together a memorandum saying pro life Catholics are extremists. They've
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: seen twenty FBI agents swap team members show up the
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: home of Mark Halk and arrest him in front of
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: his wife and seven children, even though he had indicated
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: he'd be happy to turn himself in.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: And what was he arrested for.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Him and his twelve year old son were praying outside
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: an abortion facility. Some guys start screaming in his son's face,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: and he did what, frankly, any dad would do, defended
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: his child.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: What's interesting is.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: The National School Board Association apologize for the letter, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: the Attorney General refuses to rescind his directive. The FBI
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: did resin, thank goodness to Richmond Catholic memorandum, but they
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: refuse to tell Congress who wrote it and who approved it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: And mister Halk, mister Halck, when he got his day
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: in court, he was acquitted by a jury of his peers.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: American speech is censored. Parents are called terrorists, Catholics are
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: called radicals. And I haven't even talked to about the
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: spying that took place of a presidential campaign on the
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: rating of a former president's home.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: You listen to that list, it is stunning to think
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that this is happening in the United States of America.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: It is, and as you know, the entirety of that
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: list is laid out in detail in my most recent book,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: in the book Justice Corrupted, How the Left has weaponized
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: the legal system. The book starts with the sexual assault
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: in Louden County, Virginia of the teenage girl by a
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: boy dressed in a skirt in the girl's bathroom, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: the school board covering it up, lying about it, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: ultimately having the father of the girl arrested because he
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: dared speak up for his daughter, and that incident was
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: one of the incidents that prompted the letter from the
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: National Association of school Boards to President Biden that resulted
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: in Merrick Garlane and five days later issuing a memo
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: a directive to the FBI to go after parents, to
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: target them, essentially, to treat them as domestic terrorists if
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: they dare speak up at school board meetings. That memo
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: was disgraceful. It's a perfect example of weaponization. And what
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: has happened is is and like the Mark Hawk example
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: is another one I discussed at great length Mark Hawk,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: it is a disparate standard of justice to send more
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: than a dozen agents with machine guns drawn at the
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: crack of dawn to arrest someone at their home in
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: front of their crying children. But this administration, if you
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: were pro life, if you dare speak up in defensive life,
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: you have to worry about the stormtroopers showing up at
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: your front door. And by the way, when they tried
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: mister Hawk, the jury threw the case out within minutes.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: They thought the case was ridiculous, lists that he was
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: defending his twelve year old son, and and and he
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: was charged with basically pushing a guy who was screaming
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: at his son and that merited sending in the stormtroopers.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: It is an absolute double standard, and I have to
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: say the FBI has been willing to be complicit in this,
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: and then after it happens, the FBI engages in stonewalling
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: what you don't see Chris Ray doing. Let's take the
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: memo from the Richmond Field office targeting Catholics and laying
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: out a strategy of let's send undercover agents into Catholic
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: churches to spy on churches, and let's see if we
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: can recruit the clergy to spy on the members of
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: the parish. It's absolutely shameful and disgraceful. And as Jim
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Jordan noted, the FBI rescinded it when it became public.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: They realized it was indefensible. But we don't know who
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: wrote it, we don't know who approved it, we don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: know who thought it was a good eyedea to target Catholics.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: And the problem with Chris Ray is any time he's
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: given a choice between defending the rapidly partisan left wing
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: extremists who are in the senior career leadership at the
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: FBI or standing with the American people, he chooses the
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: partisans who are corrupting the FBI.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: You mentioned one thing, and I want to clarify on
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: this point because I think for many Americans they hear
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the defense from Ray Well we rescinded it. If they
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have been caught in public and this wouldn't have
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: been made public, the memo, I think it would probably
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: still be going on today. And there's a very good
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: chance there where they would have found people to spy
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: on their own parishioners.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: And you know what they are doing. They're still going
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: after parents who speak up at school boards. There are
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: multiple parents across the county who went to express their
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: free speech rights. And to be clear, nobody has a
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: right to engage in violence. If you threaten someone with violence,
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: if you engage in violence, you should be prosecuted. But
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: everyone has a right to peaceful speech. And multiple parents
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: who go to a school board and speak up because
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: they're upset about some policy at the school board, whether
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: it was COVID policies or vaccine mandates, or whether it
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: was teaching critical race theory, or whether as it was
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: in Loudon County, turning a blind eye to sexual assaults
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: against the children in their care. Multiple parents have had
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: the g men show up at their door to intimidate
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: them and interview them just because they exercised their First
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Amendment rights. And they're doing that even after they got caught.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: That's how brazen it is.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: It's also not just that one issue that you describe,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: but there's also the other issue of why are you
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: not looking into the crimes that have been potentially committed
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: by the Bidens. Matt Gates called him out for that,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Christopher Ray, and here's what he said.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting here with my father.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: I will make certain that between the man sitting next
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: to me and every person he knows, and my ability
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: call with my father. Sounds like a shakedown, doesn't a director.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to get into commenting on that.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: You seem deeply uncurious about it, don't you almost suspiciously uncurious?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Are you protecting the Bidens? Absolutely not, the FBI.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: You won't answer the question about whether that's a shakedown,
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: and everybody knows why you won't answer it because to
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: the millions of people who will see this, they know
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: it is, and your inability to acknowledge that is deeply
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: revealing about you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: But when he says it's deeply it's deeply revealing about
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: how much he's willing to protect people that screw up
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and make big mistakes, right, I mean, I mean that's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: part of this here is if you talk to people
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: in law enforcement, especially people that are in investigative positions,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: they tell you that finding what we just found there,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: seeing what they what they've seen, is that moment where
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you go, this is why I signed up for this senator,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: because now I'm going to deal with this corruption and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: get rid of it. And instead it seems like they
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: say every time they find the corruption, they help them
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: cover it up.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: No, that's exactly right. And look, this is in a
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: context where we now know that that a confidential informant
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: approached the FBI with evidence that Joe Biden as vice
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: president had personally received a five million dollar bribe from
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: a foreign national, and the FBI covered up, refused to
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: acknowledge the form they prepared with that complaint, refused to
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: describe any investigation they engaged in it. We subsequently learned
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: that there were allegedly seventeen voice recordings of conversations between
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: that Ukrainian oligarch, and fifteen of them with Hunter Biden,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: two of them with Joe Biden. As you know, as
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: we've talked about on this podcast. I questioned the Deputy
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: director of the FBI, Chris Ray's deputy, and asked him,
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: will you hand over the FBI form detailing the allegations
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: from the confidential informant. He refused to do so. I said,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: will you confirm the existence of the seventeen voice recordings?
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: He refused to do so. I asked him, does the
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: FBI have possession of the seventeen voice recordings? He refused
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: to answer. I asked him, will the FBI give those
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: seventeen voice recordings to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He refused
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: to commit to doing so. And there is just a
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: brazen defiance. There's an attitude at the FBI. We don't
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: work for you, we don't work for anybody. We do
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: what we want and we answer to nobody. And the
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: deputy director, when I was questioning him, had had just
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: this contempt. How dare you ask me those questions? I
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: decide what to investigate and nobody gets to second guess it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: And it's a contempt. It's not ultimately a contempt for
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: me or for the Senate or for Congress. It's a
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: contempt for the American people because when Congress and engages
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: an oversight, we're fulfilling our constitutional responsibility, and we're doing so.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: When I ask those questions, I am doing so on
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: behalf of thirty million Texans. I'm doing so because I
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: believe Texans would want me to ask those questions and
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: get to the bottom of it. And I hear that
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: from Texans frequently, that they are grateful that I engage
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: in that oversight. But when the FBI has this sneering
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: condescension that I'm not going to answer that. And in
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: the instance where Matt Gates was asking him about that, uh,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: that WhatsApp communication between Hunter, Biden and and that the
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Chinese communist official, that is one of the most damning
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: communications I've ever heard. Of course, it's a shakedown. It's
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: not transparent, it's not subtle. It is about as blatant
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: as shakedown as possible. The only conceivable defense is either
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: that that that the communication was false, although at this
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: point Hunter and his lawyer have basically implicitly admitted that
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: it's true or that Hunter was lying, that that Joe
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Biden was not sitting next to him, and and and
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: that even though Hunter was threatening uh, the the retribution
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: from Joe Biden that that that that he was not
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: telling the truth. That is a possible defense for Joe Biden,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: although it's not a defense for Hunter, but the FBI.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: And and remember, by the way, you gotta also look
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: at this in the context of the two I R
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: S whistleblowers that allege that in the entire course of
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: this investigation, the Department of Justice politically interfered with the
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: investigation and said, do not ask any questions about Joe Biden,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: do not ask any questions about the big guy. Do
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: not They refuse to allow GPS uh GPS to be
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: looked at to determine was Joe Biden sitting next to
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Hunter Biden when that communication was sent. They could confirm that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: But but the allegation from from the the the I
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: R S whistleblowers are that that the DOJ didn't want
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: to know if Joe Biden was sitting right next to
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Hunter Biden when he said I'm sitting next to my father,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: and so in that context, Chris Ray's refusal to answer
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: is stonewalling, and it's ultimately stonewalling the American people, which
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: does an enormous disservice to the FBI and of the
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: rule of law.
