Did Biden Lie to America Over Nord Stream Pipeline plus FBI Dir. to be Held in Contempt of Congress & SPLC targets Moms · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome.
0:01
Speaker 2: It is verdict was Senator Ted Cruz ben Ferguson with you.
0:04
Speaker 2: We've got a lot to unpack on the show. That
0:07
Speaker 2: includes who is lying to US, Russia or the President
0:10
Speaker 2: of the United States of America on the nord Stream
0:12
Speaker 2: pipeline and who blew it up? Also the FBI Director
0:15
Speaker 2: Ray could be held in contempt of Congress, what does
0:17
Speaker 2: that mean? And the Southern Poverty Law Center coming after
0:21
Speaker 2: good conservative Christian American jet Again. Senator, let's first start
0:25
Speaker 2: with this shocking news on the Nordstream pipeline. This seems
0:30
Speaker 2: to be a major change in the White House's position
0:36
Speaker 2: despite we now know they were briefed back in June
0:39
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two that apparently, and this is coming
0:43
Speaker 2: from the CIA, that Ukraine was planning and even practicing
0:49
Speaker 2: to blow up the nord Stream pipeline. Biden, if you
0:53
Speaker 2: fast forward from June to September of twenty twenty two,
0:58
Speaker 2: he came out and said this, after that pipeline was exploded. Quote,
1:02
Speaker 2: let me say this, it was a deliberate act of sabotage,
1:05
Speaker 2: and now the Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies.
1:09
Speaker 2: The President went on to say we'll work with our
1:11
Speaker 2: allies to get to the bottom of exactly what happened
1:14
Speaker 2: with precisely what happened. At my direction, I've already begun
1:18
Speaker 2: to help our allies enhance the protection of this critical infrastructure.
1:22
Speaker 2: And then, Senator, he said this quote, and at the
1:26
Speaker 2: appropriate moment, when things calm down, we're going to send
1:29
Speaker 2: the divers down to find out exactly what happened. We
1:33
Speaker 2: don't know what yet, we don't know exactly. But just
1:36
Speaker 2: don't listen to what Putin's saying, because he's saying, we
1:42
Speaker 2: know it's not true. Now I think he was trying
1:45
Speaker 2: to say because what he was saying, we know is
1:47
Speaker 2: not true. Senator, you hear this now. And if you
1:50
Speaker 2: look at the headline coming from the liberal Washington Post,
1:54
Speaker 2: Biden blamed Russia for the nord Stream pipeline attack, despite
1:57
Speaker 2: the CIA being briefed earlier on a uk Ukrainian plot
2:00
Speaker 2: to do exactly that.
2:01
Speaker 1: Blow it up.
2:02
Speaker 3: Your reaction, Well, today's story in the Washington Post is
2:06
Speaker 3: a big deal. And let's step back for a minute.
2:08
Speaker 3: On this podcast, we've walked through at great length what
2:12
Speaker 3: caused the war in Ukraine. There are many things that
2:15
Speaker 3: are frustrating about this war, but the most fundamental is
2:18
Speaker 3: that it was utterly preventable. This war did not have
2:22
Speaker 3: to happen, and it was caused by Biden's weakness and
2:27
Speaker 3: his complete capitulation to Russia. And to retread a little bit,
2:33
Speaker 3: but this is important to understand why this story in
2:37
Speaker 3: the post is significant. Putin has long wanted to invade Ukraine.
2:43
Speaker 3: He wants to reassemble the old Soviet Union. He longs
2:47
Speaker 3: for the days of what he perceives as Soviet greatness.
2:51
Speaker 3: If you're going to reassemble the old Soviet Union, Ukraine
2:54
Speaker 3: is the most important piece of it. And Putin previously
2:58
Speaker 3: invaded Ukraine. In twenty fourteen, he invaded Ukraine, invaded Crimea,
3:03
Speaker 3: which is the southern portion of Ukraine, but he stopped
3:07
Speaker 3: because Russia's primary source of revenue is selling oil and
3:12
Speaker 3: natural gas, and the natural gas pipelines run right through
3:15
Speaker 3: the middle of Ukraine, and if he invaded the whole country,
3:19
Speaker 3: he risked damaging or destroying those pipelines. So the next year,
3:23
Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen, he launched the nord Stream two pipeline.
3:26
Speaker 3: Nordstream two is an under sea pipeline underneath the Baltic
3:30
Speaker 3: Sea that runs directly from Russia to Germany. The entire
3:36
Speaker 3: purpose of it was to circumvent Ukraine so that when
3:39
Speaker 3: the pipeline became complete and active, Russia could invade Ukraine
3:44
Speaker 3: and not worry about the pipelines because it could get
3:47
Speaker 3: its natural gas to market. As you know, in twenty nineteen,
3:51
Speaker 3: I authored sanctions legislation that shut the nord Stream two
3:55
Speaker 3: pipeline down. Putin halted construction of the pipeline literally the
4:00
Speaker 3: day Donald Trump signed my sanctions legislation. At the law
4:04
Speaker 3: For over a year, from December twenty nineteen to January
4:09
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one, the pipeline was dead and dormant,
4:13
Speaker 3: and nothing happened because the sanctions legislation that I authored
4:17
Speaker 3: and Trump signed had stopped it. Joe Biden became president
4:21
Speaker 3: on January twentieth, twenty twenty one. Four days later, January
4:26
Speaker 3: twenty fourth, Putin resumed deep sea construction of Nordstream two
4:31
Speaker 3: because Biden had foreshadowed incredible weakness that he was going
4:37
Speaker 3: to give into Russia. That foreshadowing proved accurate. Several months later,
4:41
Speaker 3: Biden formally waives sanctions on Nordstream two, gave putin a
4:47
Speaker 3: multi billion dollar gift. Fast forward to January of twenty
4:53
Speaker 3: twenty two. I forced a vote on the Senate floor
4:55
Speaker 3: to reimpose sanctions on Nordstream two. Every Democrat had voted
5:00
Speaker 3: with me twice to impose those sanctions. On the day
5:04
Speaker 3: of the vote, Biden, for the first time in his presidency,
5:08
Speaker 3: came to Capitol Hill and personally lobbied Democrat senators to
5:13
Speaker 3: vote against my sanctions legislation, to vote in favor of Russia,
5:18
Speaker 3: in favor of Putin, and forty four Democrats flipped their votes.
5:23
Speaker 3: They had voted with me twice, but at Biden's behest,
5:27
Speaker 3: they put partisan politics above us, national security, above standing
5:32
Speaker 3: with our allies. Now, when that vote was pending, President
5:35
Speaker 3: Zelenski of Ukraine publicly begged the Senate pass cruises sanctions legislation.
5:42
Speaker 3: It's the only way to stop Russia from invading Ukraine.
5:46
Speaker 3: The government of Poland put out a formal statement said
5:50
Speaker 3: pass cruises sanctions legislation. Without it, Russia will invade Ukraine.
5:54
Speaker 3: The Democrats flipped, the legislation failed, and just a few
5:59
Speaker 3: weeks later, Russia invaded Ukraine. Fast forward, We've now had
6:05
Speaker 3: the biggest land war in Europe since World War II,
6:08
Speaker 3: waging for over a year. Biden was so weak to Russia.
6:12
Speaker 3: He capitulated to Russia. He allowed Putin to complete Nordstream two.
6:17
Speaker 3: And the result was exactly what Zelenski predicted, exactly what
6:20
Speaker 3: Poland predicted, exactly what I predicted on the Senate floor.
6:24
Speaker 3: Russia invaded Ukraine. Now several months ago, as we know,
6:30
Speaker 3: the nord Stream two pipeline was blown up. That was
6:33
Speaker 3: a big deal. This was a pipeline Biden had allowed
6:36
Speaker 3: Putin to complete, and when it exploded with undersea munitions,
6:41
Speaker 3: the Biden White House had a spin, and their foreign
6:44
Speaker 3: policy talkers had a spin. They said, Russia blew it up. Now,
6:49
Speaker 3: I got to admit, Ben I always found that a
6:53
Speaker 3: weird talking point. Sure, look, Putin's number one priority was
6:58
Speaker 3: to build the damn pipeline in order to enable him
7:01
Speaker 3: to invade Ukraine. Why would Putin blow up his own pipeline,
7:07
Speaker 3: which is what gave him the ability to engage in
7:11
Speaker 3: the war to re establish and recreate the Soviet Union.
7:15
Speaker 3: I always found that crap. So the alternative hypothesis was
7:22
Speaker 3: that the United States blew it up. Seymour Hirsch, who
7:26
Speaker 3: is a journalist who has done some good work, but
7:30
Speaker 3: he engages in a lot of fantastical work that has
7:33
Speaker 3: very questionable moorings to reality. He wrote a long article
7:40
Speaker 3: arguing in the United States blew it up. I have
7:42
Speaker 3: to admit I read Hirsch's article and I was pretty
7:44
Speaker 3: skeptical of it. And I was skeptical of it mostly
7:48
Speaker 3: because the Biden administration lacks the spinal fortitude to do it.
7:53
Speaker 3: It may well be in the United States' interest to
7:56
Speaker 3: blow the damn thing up, but I didn't believe Joe
7:59
Speaker 3: Biden and had the guts to give that order. So
8:04
Speaker 3: the Biden administration was saying Russia did it. That always
8:07
Speaker 3: struck me as boloney. Other people were saying, maybe the
8:10
Speaker 3: United States did it. That actually struck me as bolooney
8:13
Speaker 3: as well. I just don't believe Biden would be willing
8:16
Speaker 3: to do that. My view from the day it happened
8:20
Speaker 3: is I said, look who benefits from this? There's always
8:24
Speaker 3: a good analysis on foreign policy to ask who benefits.
8:28
Speaker 3: The obvious player that benefits is Ukraine. And so my
8:33
Speaker 3: view on the day this happened is the obvious player
8:36
Speaker 3: who have done this is Ukraine. If if and This
8:39
Speaker 3: is a big if if they have the technological capability
8:43
Speaker 3: to do it. And what I didn't know and I
8:46
Speaker 3: don't know today, is whether Ukraine had the ability to
8:50
Speaker 3: go nearly three hundred feet underwater and blow up that pipeline.
8:54
Speaker 3: If they did, it's a no brainer that blowing up
8:57
Speaker 3: Nordstream too benefits Ukraine and hurts Russia. This story in
9:02
Speaker 3: the Washington Post yesterday asserts that the CIA, the Biden
9:07
Speaker 3: CIA had credible intelligence that Ukraine blew up the pipeline.
9:13
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true, and I'm going to
9:14
Speaker 3: readily say I've had lots and lots of classified briefings
9:18
Speaker 3: on lots and lots of topics. I've had zero classified
9:21
Speaker 3: briefings with information on this question. So I don't have
9:25
Speaker 3: any specialized information on who blew it up. Whether it
9:30
Speaker 3: was Russia, whether it was Ukraine, whether it's the United States,
9:32
Speaker 3: or whether it was someone else.
9:33
Speaker 1: I don't know.
9:35
Speaker 3: But I've read this Washington Post article, and I know
9:39
Speaker 3: the incentives and who benefits, and it strikes me as
9:44
Speaker 3: utterly plausible that Ukraine did this with the caveat that
9:49
Speaker 3: I don't know if they had the technological sophistication to
9:51
Speaker 3: do it. But if they did it, if they did
9:54
Speaker 3: have that capability, I absolutely believe Ukraine would do it
9:58
Speaker 3: and would benefit from doing it. If that is true,
10:02
Speaker 3: it means Joe Biden and the Biden White House lied
10:05
Speaker 3: to America over and over again from the moment this happened.
10:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to ask you about the lies because
10:11
Speaker 2: the article, and this is the Washington Post, that's implying
10:15
Speaker 2: that basically the President United States America willfully lied to
10:18
Speaker 2: the American people may have helped spur this war to
10:21
Speaker 2: get even bigger while we were backing Ukraine. And before
10:25
Speaker 2: we get into the politics of that, I want to
10:27
Speaker 2: tell you real quick about our friends over at Patriot Mobile.
10:29
Speaker 2: If you are sick and tired of giving your money
10:32
Speaker 2: to woke companies, we have seen what woke comis have
10:35
Speaker 2: been doing recently. We've seen what's happened at Target, We've
10:38
Speaker 2: seen what's happened with Dizzy.
10:40
Speaker 1: The list now butt like going on and on.
10:43
Speaker 2: And if you are like me, where you're just fed
10:45
Speaker 2: up with it and you want to give your money
10:47
Speaker 2: to companies actually stand for your values, then you need
10:50
Speaker 2: to switch your cell phone to Patriot Mobile for years,
10:53
Speaker 2: big mobile comanies have been dumping millions and millions of
10:56
Speaker 2: dollars into leftist causes, and we had to deal with
10:59
Speaker 2: it because there wasn't another option.
11:01
Speaker 1: Now there is.
11:02
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, offering
11:07
Speaker 2: dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks, so you

Speaker 2: Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict, or call them eight seven
11:46
Speaker 2: eight Patriot that's eight seven eight Patriot or Patriot Mobile
11:52
Speaker 2: dot com slash Verdict center. You look at the Washington
11:57
Speaker 2: Post and what they reported, they said based on Pentagon
12:00
Speaker 2: documents allegedly leaked onto Discord, a European nation briefed the
12:05
Speaker 2: Biden administration that the Ukrainian military had planned a covert
12:09
Speaker 2: attack on the undersea network using a small team of
12:12
Speaker 2: divers who reported directly to the commander in chief of
12:15
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Yet the President, knowing this, being
12:19
Speaker 2: briefed on this, told the American people Russia did this.
12:23
Speaker 2: He blamed Russia for this, And you talked about the
12:26
Speaker 2: lie here. Why would he lie to us and why
12:29
Speaker 2: would he mislead the American people this way while also
12:33
Speaker 2: at the same time sending countless American tax dollars to Ukraine.
12:39
Speaker 3: Well, listen, let me be clear. I don't know for
12:42
Speaker 3: a fact that Biden was lying. What I do know
12:45
Speaker 3: is their story never made sense. Why would Putin blow
12:49
Speaker 3: up the pipeline that was integral to the Russian economies
12:55
Speaker 3: being able to sell natural gas to Europe. Why would
12:58
Speaker 3: Putin blow up the pipeline that enabled the invasion of Ukraine?
13:05
Speaker 3: Why would Putin blow up the pipeline that Joe Biden
13:08
Speaker 3: had wrapped in gift wrap and given him as a giant,
13:12
Speaker 3: multi billion dollar present, and that capitulation is what caused
13:18
Speaker 3: the invasion of Ukraine. It never made sense to me,
13:21
Speaker 3: so you know, I guess you could have some sort
13:24
Speaker 3: of sophisticated psyops that he blows it and blows it
13:27
Speaker 3: up and maybe he figures it weakens Europe's commitment to Ukraine.
13:33
Speaker 3: I just that that seems so attenuated to me. It
13:37
Speaker 3: sounds like boloney.
13:39
Speaker 2: The Post also said that this was they had a
13:42
Speaker 2: lot of details about the plan which had not been
13:45
Speaker 2: previously reported until now. They were apparently collected by European
13:49
Speaker 2: Intelligence Service. They were shared with the CIA in June
13:51
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two, and they provided some of the
13:54
Speaker 2: most specific evidence to day linking the government of Ukraine
13:57
Speaker 2: to the eventual attack in the Baltic Sea. Now, if
14:00
Speaker 2: that's true, Senator and were, is there new questions that
14:04
Speaker 2: must be asked about American aid going to Ukraine? Or
14:09
Speaker 2: does that really have no bearing on that even if
14:12
Speaker 2: in fact they may have done this.
14:14
Speaker 3: Look, I don't think it has bearing at all. And
14:16
Speaker 3: in fact, if Ukraine blew up the pipeline, I say
14:18
Speaker 3: good on Ukraine. It's unquestionably their national security interest. It
14:23
Speaker 3: was the right thing to do. To be honest. If
14:26
Speaker 3: Donald Trump were still president, I think he may well
14:29
Speaker 3: have blown up the pipeline. But I don't think the
14:32
Speaker 3: pipeline would have been built, so I don't think he
14:34
Speaker 3: would have had to blow it up, and I don't
14:36
Speaker 3: think there would have been a war on Ukraine. Why
14:38
Speaker 3: because look rewind to twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen,
14:43
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, everyone in Washington said, we can't stop this pipeline.
14:46
Speaker 3: We're hopeless, there's nothing we can do. When I wrote
14:49
Speaker 3: the legislation, it was targeted sanctions legislation. There was a
14:52
Speaker 3: specific company, the Allseas Company, that was building the pipeline,
14:56
Speaker 3: and I wrote the legislation that would bankrup the company
15:01
Speaker 3: if it continued building the pipeline even for a minute. Now,
15:06
Speaker 3: amazingly enough, we passed this legislation December of twenty nineteen.
15:10
Speaker 3: If you remember what else was happening in December twenty nineteen,
15:13
Speaker 3: the House of Representatives under Nancy Pelosi was impeaching Donald Trump,
15:19
Speaker 3: and not just in peaching Donald Trump, impeaching him for
15:23
Speaker 3: conduct concerning Ukraine. So I'm trying to pass legislation that
15:29
Speaker 3: is integral to Ukraine in the middle of the House
15:33
Speaker 3: impeaching Trump for Ukraine, and I need bipartisan support and
15:37
Speaker 3: to get this passed. I had to get support from
15:41
Speaker 3: the chairman and ranking members, so from the Democrat and
15:44
Speaker 3: Republican in the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate
15:47
Speaker 3: Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, and from
15:50
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. That's eight players in the Senate,
15:54
Speaker 3: and I had to get support from the same eight
15:56
Speaker 3: players in the House in the middle of this police
16:00
Speaker 3: blood bath over the first Trump impeachment on Ukraine. And
16:04
Speaker 3: so in hindsight it remains a friggin' miracle we got
16:08
Speaker 3: it done. To be honest, part of the way I
16:11
Speaker 3: got it done is I didn't mention the word Ukraine
16:13
Speaker 3: at all. I'm like Ukraine, never heard of it, don't
16:15
Speaker 3: know what that is. Sorry, this is all about Russia
16:17
Speaker 3: and Germany. Has nothing to do with Ukraine. Never heard
16:19
Speaker 3: of it at all. We got it done, which remains astonishing.
16:24
Speaker 3: And by the way, I was on the phone repeatedly
16:26
Speaker 3: because it went off course about six times in the
16:30
Speaker 3: course of this negotiation. I was talking to different members
16:33
Speaker 3: and brought it back on course. Now, once it passed,
16:38
Speaker 3: there was a big lobbying effort within the Trump administration
16:42
Speaker 3: from the pro nordstream two forces that first of all,
16:47
Speaker 3: wanted the treasure well actually before that, they wanted the
16:51
Speaker 3: National Security Council to issue a signing statement that would
16:55
Speaker 3: cut the sanctions. And I ended up picking up the
16:59
Speaker 3: phone and calling Trump's National Security advisor, Robert O'Brien, who
17:02
Speaker 3: was a good friend of mine. Robert was in the
17:06
Speaker 3: NSC Christmas party at the time. This is December twenty nineteen,
17:10
Speaker 3: and I called over. I said, pull Robert out of
17:12
Speaker 3: the Christmas party. I need to talk to him right now.
17:15
Speaker 3: And I told Robert, I said, listen, this legislation is
17:18
Speaker 3: incredibly important. There are forces that are not positive and
17:22
Speaker 3: beneficial that are trying to get the White House to
17:25
Speaker 3: give a signing statement undercutting these sanctions. I said, if
17:29
Speaker 3: y'all do this, I'm going to go to the Senate
17:31
Speaker 3: floor and light you up. Please don't make me do this.
17:34
Speaker 3: I don't want to light you up. You don't want
17:36
Speaker 3: me to light you up. Do the right thing. Let's
17:39
Speaker 3: stand up and stop this. And Robert, to his credit, said, ted,
17:43
Speaker 3: I got this. It's taken care of. And he quashed
17:46
Speaker 3: the lobbying effort to save the pipeline. There was a
17:50
Speaker 3: second effort, and it was an effort to get the
17:53
Speaker 3: Treasury Department to issue guidance concerning the sanctions that would
17:59
Speaker 3: essentially allow the pipeline to keep being built again. It's December.
18:04
Speaker 3: I'm on the phone with Treasury. I'm also texting Mike Pompeo,
18:07
Speaker 3: the Secretary of State. I'm working with the Department of Energy.
18:10
Speaker 3: I'm working with the National Security Council. There was a
18:13
Speaker 3: big interagency battle. Long and short of it is, we
18:17
Speaker 3: won the internagency battle, and the people that were trying
18:19
Speaker 3: to get Treasury to gut the sanctions lost. I sent
18:23
Speaker 3: a letter to the CEO of All Ceas Corporation, which
18:27
Speaker 3: was the company that was building the pipeline. And as
18:30
Speaker 3: you know, Ben, I spent a lot of years practicing law,
18:33
Speaker 3: whether as Solicitor General of Texas or in private practice.
18:37
Speaker 3: I've represented a lot of clients. I wrote a letter
18:41
Speaker 3: that was designed and I'm going to give a technical
18:43
Speaker 3: legal term to make the CEO sphincter titan so tight
18:50
Speaker 3: that he could form coal into diamonds. The letter said,
18:55
Speaker 3: you need to be advised that this legislation which I
18:59
Speaker 3: drafted creates sanctions that are immediate, that are non waivable,
19:05
Speaker 3: and that are fatal that are designed to destroy your company.
19:10
Speaker 3: And if you care about shareholder value, if you care
19:14
Speaker 3: about your executives, if you care about your employees, you
19:18
Speaker 3: will not continue to build this pipeline for even sixty
19:23
Speaker 3: seconds after the President signs this bill. If you do,
19:28
Speaker 3: you will destroy your company. Now, Trump signed the bill,
19:32
Speaker 3: if I remember correctly, at seven pm on a Thursday night,
19:35
Speaker 3: I was flying home to DC. Seven pm on a
19:38
Speaker 3: Thursday night, I land in DC, flying home to Houston
19:41
Speaker 3: rather from DC seven pm on a Thursday night, the
19:45
Speaker 3: company building the pipeline at Putin's direction announces at six
19:50
Speaker 3: forty five pm, fifteen minutes before they've immediately halted construction
19:56
Speaker 3: of the pipeline and set sail away. He had stopped
20:01
Speaker 3: this because it was an America's interest to stop this.
20:05
Speaker 3: Biden gave Putin this gift because he didn't have the
20:09
Speaker 3: strength to stand up to Russia and because he wanted
20:13
Speaker 3: to make nice with Germany. Yeah, and given that weakness. Look,
20:17
Speaker 3: if I think if this pipeline had been built, I
20:19
Speaker 3: believe Trump would have bombed the hell out of it.
20:21
Speaker 3: I think Trump would have blown it up, but he
20:24
Speaker 3: wouldn't have had to blow it up because Trump had
20:26
Speaker 3: stopped it by signing my legislation. It was Biden's weakness
20:31
Speaker 3: that caused the pipeline to be built, and so I
20:34
Speaker 3: think the chances that Biden would have acted to take
20:37
Speaker 3: out the pipeline are virtually nil. But I also think
20:41
Speaker 3: the Biden White House's spin that it was Putin who
20:44
Speaker 3: did it that never made sense.
20:48
Speaker 2: I want to ask you one other question about the
20:50
Speaker 2: White House now. They're shockingly at odds now with their
20:54
Speaker 2: liberal friend in town, the Washington Post, not answering detailed
20:58
Speaker 2: questions from the Post. Now, before I give you that quote,
21:01
Speaker 2: I want to tell everybody real quick about chalk. If
21:04
Speaker 2: you're a guy and you're getting a little bit older
21:06

22:27
Speaker 2: center despite pledging, and this is the part where it
22:30
Speaker 2: looks like the Washington Post was really going after the
22:33
Speaker 2: Biden administration because they promised that they were going to
22:36
Speaker 2: get to the bottom this week. I read that statement
22:38
Speaker 2: at the very beginning of the podcast today. But despite
22:42
Speaker 2: pledging to get to the bottom of it, the Biden
22:43
Speaker 2: administration is completely silent, and apparently they already knew what
22:49
Speaker 2: was going to happen. They were briefed done it months before,
22:52
Speaker 2: So the President may have just been lying to us
22:53
Speaker 2: when he said he was gonna send divers down there
22:56
Speaker 2: and find out what's really going on. And the White
22:58
Speaker 2: House was asked about this yesterday. Here's what John Kirby
23:02
Speaker 2: had to say about it when he was asked by
23:04
Speaker 2: the press.
23:05
Speaker 1: It is the US actively investigating a limit? Why not
23:09
Speaker 1: that there are three European countries that have.
23:14
Speaker 4: Embarked on independent investigations of this, and we're comfortable in
23:19
Speaker 4: their ability to take a hard look at this and
23:21
Speaker 4: to come up with conclusions.
23:23
Speaker 2: He was hanging his head by the way, Senator, and
23:25
Speaker 2: you could barely hear him when he said. The reporter
23:27
Speaker 2: said is the US actively investigating? And he had his
23:30
Speaker 2: head down.
23:30
Speaker 1: He just said no.
23:31
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't like a proud no, It wasn't like
23:33
Speaker 2: absolutely not. I'm going to answer that, and I'm going
23:37
Speaker 2: to answer as quietly as I possibly can. Now, why
23:40
Speaker 2: do you think they're so quiet about this, because the
23:42
Speaker 2: last we heard they were going to investigate this by golly.
23:46
Speaker 3: Well, listen, the Biden White House knows their foreign policy
23:49
Speaker 3: failures are what caused the war in Ukraine. They also know,
23:53
Speaker 3: as we've talked about it at length on this podcast, that
23:56
Speaker 3: since the war began, they've been funding both sides of
23:59
Speaker 3: the war. They've been effectively supporting Iran by refusing to
24:05
Speaker 3: enforce oil sanctions on Iran. They've been funneling it billions
24:08
Speaker 3: of dollars into the Iotola. The Iotola has been using
24:11
Speaker 3: those billions of dollars to build drones, and those drones
24:14
Speaker 3: the Russians have been using to kill Ukrainians. So the
24:17
Speaker 3: Biden administration caused the war through its own weakness and
24:20
Speaker 3: now is funding both sides of the war, and so
24:23
Speaker 3: they are Look, I'll give John Kirby a little bit
24:26
Speaker 3: of credit that he's at least sheepish for the disaster
24:31
Speaker 3: that this administration has caused. But I got to say
24:35
Speaker 3: the answer he gave yesterday is utterly incompatible with the
24:40
Speaker 3: administration's answer when the pipeline blew up, when they claimed
24:44
Speaker 3: this was an investigation they were going to get to
24:46
Speaker 3: the bottom of well, while at the same time doing
24:49
Speaker 3: everything they could to suggest it's Putin. Putin.
24:51
Speaker 1: Putin.
24:52
Speaker 3: Look, I think Putin's a very bad guy who does
24:54
Speaker 3: lots of stuff. He just rarely blows up his own stuff.
24:56
Speaker 3: He blows up other people's stuff rarely his own stuff.
24:59
Speaker 3: And and so you know, for the for the White
25:02
Speaker 3: House to be caught in at a minimum a massive inconsistency,
25:07
Speaker 3: if not a flat out lie, that's less than ideal.
25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to move also to another big story center.
25:13
Speaker 2: You and I covered this on Monday's episode, and if
25:17
Speaker 2: you missed it, go back and listen to it.
25:19
Speaker 1: It was actually the top.
25:20
Speaker 2: Of the charts for all day on Monday and Tuesday,
25:24
Speaker 2: we did a deep dive into what's going on with
25:27
Speaker 2: the FBI Director Ray. The House Oversight Committee is now
25:32
Speaker 2: going to move. We're being told on Thursday to hold
25:35
Speaker 2: the FBI Director, Christopher Ray, in contempt of Congress.
25:39
Speaker 1: Now why are they doing this?
25:41
Speaker 2: Well, this all goes back to the FBI Biden document,
25:45
Speaker 2: a document that they say equates to basically a bribery
25:49
Speaker 2: scheme money laundering, where the President was able to get
25:52
Speaker 2: his hands on five million dollars for favors when he
25:56
Speaker 2: was the vice president. James Comer, who saw that letter,
26:00
Speaker 2: he still doesn't have a copy of it himself, but
26:02
Speaker 2: was able to read it, had this to say on
26:05
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill after he walked out of that meeting.
26:07
Speaker 4: The claims made in the document are consistent with what
26:13
Speaker 4: we found and disclosed to you all in Romania. It
26:20
Speaker 4: suggests a pattern of bribery where payments would be made
26:26
Speaker 4: through shell accounts and multiple banks. There's a term for that,
26:31
Speaker 4: it's called money launder.
26:32
Speaker 1: That again, is.
26:33
Speaker 4: What the majority of the suspicious activity reports also said.
26:39
Speaker 4: So we feel that this accusation is consistent with a
26:43
Speaker 4: pattern that we're seeing frankly in other countries too.
26:48
Speaker 2: That's pretty damning when you start connecting the Dots center.
26:50
Speaker 2: You've got these documents, now you've got the suspicious activity reports,
26:55
Speaker 2: you've got the Hunter Biden laptop that is connecting a
26:58
Speaker 2: lot of these dots as well, and you've got now
27:01
Speaker 2: whistleblowers coming forward that are sharing information Intel. This is
27:06
Speaker 2: panning an extremely damning picture to the Biden crime family.
27:11
Speaker 2: And that is also why the White House must be
27:15
Speaker 2: feeling it because this is unprecedented. The White House has
27:19
Speaker 2: actually come out and claimed that the Biden family business
27:23
Speaker 2: quote represents no national security threat, and they even use
27:29
Speaker 2: John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications.
27:33
Speaker 2: He denied that the Biden family business schemes represent a
27:36
Speaker 2: national security threat, despite admitting he had not read the
27:40
Speaker 2: House Oversight Committee's report on the matter.
27:43
Speaker 1: Your reaction to that.
27:46
Speaker 3: Well, I think the FBI is facing a crisis of
27:49
Speaker 3: integrity and in the last podcast, and you're right, if
27:53
Speaker 3: folks have not listened to Monday's podcast, they should because
27:56
Speaker 3: we did a deep dive into this issue. The FBI
28:01
Speaker 3: has a report that was written because a whistle blow
28:07
Speaker 3: or an informant called in and said that they had
28:10
Speaker 3: evidence that Joe Biden as Vice president was directly involved
28:14
Speaker 3: in a bribery scheme, according to the leaks, in excess
28:17
Speaker 3: of five million dollars involving a foreign country, and apparently
28:21
Speaker 3: the foreign country is not China. The House of Representatives
28:28
Speaker 3: investigating this wanted to see that report. Initially, they subpoened
28:32
Speaker 3: that report, and the FBI said, go jump in a lake.
28:35
Speaker 1: We won't give it to you.
28:37
Speaker 3: And the House was prepared to hold Christopher Ray in contempt,
28:41
Speaker 3: and Chris Ray blinked and said, Okay, we'll give you
28:47
Speaker 3: the report, but James Comber and Jamie Raskin the chairman
28:51
Speaker 3: and ranking member of the committee investigating can review it yourselves.
28:55
Speaker 3: But you can't make it public, and so they brought
28:57
Speaker 3: it over, they showed it to him.
28:58
Speaker 2: Why is that normal, by the way, and why would
29:01
Speaker 2: you do that? Explain that?
29:04
Speaker 3: So, yes, and no, it's not bizarre. There are times
29:08
Speaker 3: when there's classified materials or confidential materials where the administration
29:12
Speaker 3: will say, we'll show this to you privately, and a
29:15
Speaker 3: classified briefing, you're confidential briefing. And what we talked about
29:18
Speaker 3: in Monday in the podcast is listen when you're dealing
29:21
Speaker 3: with a confidential informant. There are lots of instances where
29:24
Speaker 3: some informant provides some information, say on a drug cartel
29:27
Speaker 3: or the mafia. You know, you get some hit man
29:30
Speaker 3: who says, Okay, I'm going to tell you about the
29:33
Speaker 3: don and what he did that. You don't want the
29:37
Speaker 3: report from the informant made public because if it is
29:40
Speaker 3: made public, the crime boss will have that guy killed.
29:44
Speaker 3: And so it's not classified. Classified typically involves national security issues,
29:49
Speaker 3: it involves foreign policy issues. In law enforcement, it's not classified,
29:55
Speaker 3: but it is confidential. And law enforcement confidential is a serious,
29:58
Speaker 3: serious status because you want to protect the integrity of
30:02
Speaker 3: a law enforcement investigation and you want to protect the
30:06
Speaker 3: identity of an informant. What you and I talked about
30:11
Speaker 3: two days ago is the circumstances here are very different.
30:15
Speaker 3: Number One, presumably this informant is advising not on a
30:23
Speaker 3: mafia boss, not on El Chapo, not on some drug kingpin,
30:28
Speaker 3: but on Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, then the Vice President
30:32
Speaker 3: of the United States, now the President of the United States.
30:34
Speaker 3: One would assume the law enforcement interests are markedly less
30:39
Speaker 3: in that Biden is not going to have the guy whacked.
30:42
Speaker 3: And by the way, lefty Twitter went insane this week
30:46
Speaker 3: because we said in Monday's podcast, I said, it's reasonable
30:49
Speaker 3: to assume the threat to the informant's life is less
30:53
Speaker 3: given that he was informing on Joe Biden. And they said,
30:55
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, you know, Cruz is suggesting that Joe
30:58
Speaker 3: Biden is going to have someone murdered.
31:00
Speaker 4: It.
31:00
Speaker 1: No, Actually, what I.
31:02
Speaker 3: Said is, presumably I would hope Joe Biden is not
31:06
Speaker 3: going to have someone murdered. But if that's the case,
31:09
Speaker 3: the FBI's interest in keeping this confidential is much less. Moreover,
31:14
Speaker 3: the public interest, a serious, credible allegation of bribery and
31:20
Speaker 3: corruption by the then vice president, now the president of
31:24
Speaker 3: the United States. That's a big damn deal. And so
31:28
Speaker 3: Comer saw the document and he left the briefing and said,
31:32
Speaker 3: the American public has a right to know what's in
31:34
Speaker 3: this document. We want to make it public. And Chris
31:39
Speaker 3: Ray said, Nope, not going to do it. And so
31:41
Speaker 3: what's going to happen tomorrow on Thursday, is the House
31:45
Speaker 3: is going to vote to hold Chris Ray in contempt
31:48
Speaker 3: of Congress. Now, let me give a couple of consequences
31:51
Speaker 3: of this one.
31:53
Speaker 1: This is a real.
31:54
Speaker 3: Problem for the FBI. Look, the FBI uses subpoenas every day.
31:58
Speaker 3: They use subpoena as all the time to get information
32:01
Speaker 3: they need in law enforcement investigations. To have the director
32:05
Speaker 3: held in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena
32:10
Speaker 3: is a big problem for all of the rest of
32:13
Speaker 3: the FBI's ambit. But secondly, this is I believe a
32:21
Speaker 3: crisis in integrity for the FBI, and so I want
32:25
Speaker 3: to make a very direct appeal. I went this week
32:27
Speaker 3: on Hannity and I made this appeal to Chris Ray.
32:29
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna make it on this podcast as well.
32:32
Speaker 3: I know Chris Ray, Well, Chris.
32:36
Speaker 1: Don't do this to the FBI.
32:41
Speaker 3: If Chris Ray stiff arms the House, if he forces
32:45
Speaker 3: the House of Representatives to hold him in contempt, it
32:49
Speaker 3: will do massive damage to the integrity of the FBI.
32:54
Speaker 3: Chris Ray is a company man. He believes he's defending
32:58
Speaker 3: the FBI by circling the wagons and not handing material over.
33:02
Speaker 3: But your job is not to protect the hardcore left
33:06
Speaker 3: wing partisans who burrowed into senior career positions at the FBI. Instead,
33:11
Speaker 3: it's to protect the institution, to protect the rule of law,
33:14
Speaker 3: to protect the Constitution. You are ultimately accountable to the
33:18
Speaker 3: American people, and the American people have a right to
33:22
Speaker 3: know if there's credible evidence that the president of the
33:25
Speaker 3: United States was involved in bribery from a foreign nation.
33:29
Speaker 3: It is difficult to imagine an issue of greater public importance.
33:35
Speaker 3: And so I'm calling on Chris Ray. Do the right thing.
33:39
Speaker 3: Hand this document over, don't dig in as a stubborn
33:46
Speaker 3: institutional warrior and end up being held in contempt of Congress.
33:53
Speaker 3: Now you might think, gosh, I'll be fine because the
33:57
Speaker 3: Biden DOJ is so politicized, they'll never prosecute the contempt holding.
34:02
Speaker 3: And that's true. The chances that Merrick Garland will prosecute
34:05
Speaker 3: Chris Ray for contempt are zero point zero percent. But
34:09
Speaker 3: the damage to the integrity of the FBI will be
34:12
Speaker 3: massive if Chris Ray refuses to give in to public accountability.
34:18
Speaker 3: So I'm calling on the director of the FBI, Donald
34:21
Speaker 3: Trump appointed you. You're not a left wing partisan. Your
34:25
Speaker 3: loyalty is not to the rabid partisans and the senior
34:30
Speaker 3: positions of the FBI. Your loyalty should be to the
34:33
Speaker 3: Constitution and the American people. And that means you should
34:37
Speaker 3: hand this document over for the people to assess it
34:40
Speaker 3: on the.
34:40
Speaker 2: Merits when it comes to the investigation side of it.
34:44
Speaker 2: And this is obviously a little bit separate from Ray,
34:48
Speaker 2: but the House Oversight Committee's probe found that the Biden
34:51
Speaker 2: family businesses over the course of several years received and
34:54
Speaker 2: this is the most important part about the whistleblower and
34:57
Speaker 2: also this new accusation that there was five million dollars
35:00
Speaker 2: in a bribery scheme to then Vice President Joe Biden
35:03
Speaker 2: for favors from America over the course of several years.
35:06
Speaker 1: And this is what we at least know of now.
35:09
Speaker 2: The Biden family businesses and their shell companies center received
35:13
Speaker 2: at least ten million from business schemes in Romania and China.
35:19
Speaker 2: You look at how much money we're finding here, and
35:23
Speaker 2: a lot of people believe this other five million is
35:25
Speaker 2: going to be coming in from Romania. This is a
35:27
Speaker 2: massive amount of money coming in, and it's coming in
35:32
Speaker 2: to business associates designing a web of companies over twenty
35:37
Speaker 2: that we know of, many of which were formed during
35:40
Speaker 2: Joe Biden's vice presidency, and the committee said.
35:43
Speaker 1: In total, of the Biden.
35:45
Speaker 2: Family business associates and their companies received over ten million
35:47
Speaker 2: from foreign national companies, the committee found. And that's just
35:51
Speaker 2: ten million alone, outside of everything else.
35:54
Speaker 3: Look, this is utterly bizarre. I do not know any
35:59
Speaker 3: person in public life. I don't know any senator, I
36:01
Speaker 3: don't know any House member. I don't know any member
36:04
Speaker 3: of the executive branch whose family members received millions of
36:09
Speaker 3: dollars from foreign nations and foreign companies. This is not typical,
36:13
Speaker 3: This is not usual. It is utterly bizarre. We know
36:17
Speaker 3: that Hunter Biden received over a million dollars a year
36:20
Speaker 3: from Barisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company. We know that
36:24
Speaker 3: up to a dozen Biden family members received millions of
36:27
Speaker 3: dollars from Chinese communist countries. Now they're these allegations about
36:31
Speaker 3: a mysterious third country. We don't know what that is.
36:34
Speaker 3: Now that there's additional allegations about Romania, we don't know
36:38
Speaker 3: the details of that. It is bizarre. Why are your
36:42
Speaker 3: family members getting millions of bucks? Look foreign nations, Ben,
36:47
Speaker 3: You're a really successful guy. You're a well respected radio host.
36:52
Speaker 3: You've been you've been a talk radio host with a
36:55
Speaker 3: national following since you were literally twelve years old, which
36:57
Speaker 3: is a little bit bizarre.
37:00
Speaker 1: A freakish prodigy. I'll take that compliment any day.
37:03
Speaker 3: But okay, let me just ask you right now on
37:06
Speaker 3: the record, under oath. Yeah, have the Chinese communists paid
37:10
Speaker 3: you millions of dollars?
37:11
Speaker 1: Never? Have they paid you a dollar?
37:13
Speaker 3: No? Like, who the hell does that?
37:17
Speaker 4: Like?
37:17
Speaker 1: Who the hell has all of these companies either?
37:21
Speaker 3: And by the way, even worse, like your aunt Bertha
37:26
Speaker 3: is getting millions of bucks. I don't know if you
37:27
Speaker 3: have an aunt birth I don't know if Joe Biden
37:29
Speaker 3: has an aunt Bertha. But what the hell they're like
37:31
Speaker 3: rounding up any Biden family member. You know, idiot cousin
37:35
Speaker 3: Lenny who's like babbling to himself let's give him one
37:38
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars. Like that reeks of corruption at a
37:43
Speaker 3: level that is weird. And the only way the corporate
37:47
Speaker 3: media can can whitewash this is to ignore it because
37:50
Speaker 3: you can't explain, well, gosh, isn't everybody on the take
37:54
Speaker 3: from communist China? No, no, they're not. This is a
37:59
Speaker 3: big damn problem, and it's why Chris ray owes it
38:03
Speaker 3: to the American people to be forthcoming. He doesn't work
38:06
Speaker 3: for the bureaucrats, he doesn't work for Merrick Garland. He
38:10
Speaker 3: works for the American people and he should behave like
38:13
Speaker 3: it this money.
38:14
Speaker 2: And again it was very clear that James Comer was
38:18
Speaker 2: tipping his hat a little bit that this five million
38:21
Speaker 2: bribery scheme has dealt something with probably Romania. The reporting
38:26
Speaker 2: that we have, and this has again before this report,
38:31
Speaker 2: was that from November twenty fifteen to May twenty seventeen,
38:34
Speaker 2: there was a company called Bladen Enterprises. They paid Robinson
38:37
Speaker 2: Walker LLC over three million. Now, this Blade and Enterprise
38:42
Speaker 2: is a report to be this company that was used
38:48
Speaker 2: to conduct business in Romania from a shady Romanian oligarch.
38:53
Speaker 2: Robinson Walker is the Biden family business partner who collectively
38:59
Speaker 2: sent the Biden family that one point three million to
39:02
Speaker 2: all of those Biden family members from the Biden crime
39:04
Speaker 2: family really exploded in the number of Biden's and the
39:07
Speaker 2: Biden family accounts. Now we know received approximately one million,
39:12
Speaker 2: thirty eight thousand from the Robinson Walker LLC. Account after
39:18
Speaker 2: this Romanian company deposit money in his accounts. Now the
39:22
Speaker 2: committee revealed all of this based upon wire transfers that
39:27
Speaker 2: was part of all these suspicious activity reports. And in total,
39:30
Speaker 2: sixteen of the seventeen payments from this bladant enterprises to
39:34
Speaker 2: Robinson Walker LLC were made while Joe Biden was the
39:39
Speaker 2: Vice President of the United States of America, knowing that
39:42
Speaker 2: money was coming in when he was the vice president. Senator,
39:45
Speaker 2: Is there going to be any accountability.
39:47
Speaker 3: For that from the Biden Department of Justice. I don't
39:50
Speaker 3: believe their will, But from the House of Representatives, I
39:54
Speaker 3: hope and believe their will. I will commend James Comer,
39:57
Speaker 3: I'll commend Jim Jordan. They had been I have been
40:01
Speaker 3: trying to drive this from the Senate. I had been
40:03
Speaker 3: pushing this from the Senate. The problem is the Senate
40:07
Speaker 3: Democrats have the majority and Senate Democrats. There is not
40:11
Speaker 3: a single Democrat, not one who gives a damn about
40:16
Speaker 3: whether the President of the United States is directly implicated
40:21
Speaker 3: in a bribery scheme involving foreign nations, because if they
40:24
Speaker 3: gave a damn, they'd do something about it. Look, I'm
40:27
Speaker 3: in hearings every week from the Judiciary Committee. One of
40:31
Speaker 3: the Democrats could ask a witness about it. None of
40:33
Speaker 3: them ever have. Dick Durban as chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
40:37
Speaker 3: he could convene a hearing, he hasn't. Bob Benendez is
40:41
Speaker 3: chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. I serve on that
40:43
Speaker 3: as well. He could convene a hearing he hasn't. He
40:47
Speaker 3: could ask a question, he hasn't. None of the Democrats
40:50
Speaker 3: in the committee have asked questions. They don't care, And
40:54
Speaker 3: unfortunately Senate Democrats are putting partisan politics. Go to Richard
41:01
Speaker 3: Nixon and Watergate. You want to know why the Nixon
41:05
Speaker 3: White House fell, Why Nixon resigned while that scandal came down.
41:09
Speaker 3: It was because Republicans had the testicular fortitude to stand
41:15
Speaker 3: up and say this is corrupt, and will stand up
41:19
Speaker 3: to our own party and say no. Is there even
41:22
Speaker 3: one Democrat and by the way, they don't need to
41:25
Speaker 3: call him out and say it's corrupt that they could
41:27
Speaker 3: just start by saying, wow, these allegations are serious. We
41:31
Speaker 3: need answers like that's not much. That's asking for a
41:37
Speaker 3: tiny little mustard seed of integrity in the House. If
41:41
Speaker 3: there's been a House Democrat who's done that, I haven't
41:43
Speaker 3: seen it. Every hearing they have. The House Democrats all
41:46
Speaker 3: act like the Praetorian Guard, or actually more like the
41:50
Speaker 3: sort of legally blonde cheerleaders with mini skirts and pom
41:54
Speaker 3: poms surrounding Joe Biden in the White House. But none
41:58
Speaker 3: of them that I've seen, has a shred of integrity
42:01
Speaker 3: to say, gosh, that would be a problem. If the
42:05
Speaker 3: President of the United States on the is on the
42:07
Speaker 3: take from a foreign nation, one of them should do so.
42:11
Speaker 3: And by the way, when was the last time CNN
42:15
Speaker 3: asked about this? MSNBC asked about this, ABC asked about this.
42:21
Speaker 3: I will say CBS, to their credit, has covered this
42:27
Speaker 3: a little bit, so it's almost the only outlier from
42:30
Speaker 3: the corporate media who's dared to cover it. But where's
42:33
Speaker 3: the where's the sixty minute special? Where's the uh? You
42:37
Speaker 3: remember Ted Koppa, Where's Nightline? Yeah, corruption in the White House.
42:42
Speaker 3: The corporate media does not care. Where are Woodward in Bernstein?
42:48
Speaker 3: There are no Woodward in Bernstein's. Apparently reporters don't exist anymore.
42:52
Speaker 1: Great point.
42:53
Speaker 2: I want to ask you quickly about something else, and
42:55
Speaker 2: that deals with the Southern Poverty Law Center has now
42:58
Speaker 2: added per to write groups to the same list of
43:04
Speaker 2: hate groups that they put them next to.
43:06
Speaker 1: Now the clue clicks Klan.
43:08
Speaker 2: Before we get to this shocking story, I want to
43:10
Speaker 2: tell you about our friends that Gusta Precious Metals. Let's
43:13
Speaker 2: talk about your retirement for just a second. You've seen
43:16
Speaker 2: what's been going on. You've seen some of the bank failures,
43:18
Speaker 2: You've seen what's happening with interest rates. You've seen what's
43:20
Speaker 2: been happening on Wall Street and the changes in the
43:23
Speaker 2: housing market. If you are stressed out and you've watched
43:27
Speaker 2: some of your retirement disappear, you know there's no time,
43:30
Speaker 2: especially if you're at retirement age, you're in retirement right
43:33
Speaker 2: before it to makeup losses. And that is where gold
43:37
Speaker 2: can come in and help you diversify your portfolio. Augusta
43:41
Speaker 2: Precious Metals is a company that I use why because
43:44
Speaker 2: they will even tell you if gold is not right
43:46
Speaker 2: for you and your portfolio based on what you're trying
43:49
Speaker 2: to accomplish, or your age or how much you've saved. Now,
43:53
Speaker 2: the other thing about it, GUS is they don't just
43:55
Speaker 2: send you a free guide on gold.
43:57
Speaker 1: Now.
43:57
Speaker 2: They do that absolutely and it's a ton of information,
44:00
Speaker 2: but they do a one on one web conference with
44:02
Speaker 2: you and actually talk about you. They don't do one
44:06
Speaker 2: size fits all. So if you have one hundred thousand
44:09
Speaker 2: dollars or more that you've saved for retirement, Augusta will
44:12
Speaker 2: actually pay you in pure gold to learn how a
44:15
Speaker 2: gold IRA can protect you. That's a big deal, a
44:18
Speaker 2: pure gold coin for free. Reach out to Augusta Precious
44:22
Speaker 2: Medals a day and get started with gold. Don't let
44:24
Speaker 2: the bank failures get you down or stressed out. Get
44:27
Speaker 2: this free gold and get some peace of mind. Eight
44:30
Speaker 2: seven to seven the number four gold Ira eight seven
44:35
Speaker 2: seven the number four gold Ira to learn how to
44:38
Speaker 2: protect your retirement and get your free gold coin. That's
44:41
Speaker 2: Augusta Precious Metals dot Com.
44:44
Speaker 1: All right.
44:45
Speaker 2: Lastly, Senator, the Southern Poverty Law Centers added parental rights groups,
44:49
Speaker 2: including a group that I've had on my show Moms
44:52
Speaker 2: for Liberty several others to its hate map, which plots
44:58
Speaker 2: conservative groups a lot side chapters of the Klux Klan.
45:02
Speaker 1: Your reaction to that.
45:05
Speaker 3: Well, the Southern Property Law Center, unfortunately, is a profoundly dishonest,
45:09
Speaker 3: rapidly partisan left wing organization. It has a business model
45:15
Speaker 3: where it gets very wealthy left wing billionaires to write
45:21
Speaker 3: them big checks in order to try to tar anyone
45:26
Speaker 3: right of center and to call them hate groups. Among
45:28
Speaker 3: other groups, they've called the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is
45:31
Speaker 3: one of the most important organizations nationally for defending religious liberty,
45:35
Speaker 3: for litigating and winning national Supreme Court victories in front
45:39
Speaker 3: of the Supreme Court. So you literally have this organization
45:41
Speaker 3: of public interest lawyers who are winning religious liberty victories
45:44
Speaker 3: before the Supreme Court, that the Southern Poverty Law Center
45:48
Speaker 3: calls a hate group like the Nazis of the kak.
45:51
Speaker 3: They also call the Family Research Center, which is a
45:54
Speaker 3: fantastic family research council with a fantastic organization that that
45:59
Speaker 3: is is pro life, is pro traditional values, that fights
46:02
Speaker 3: for family values across this country. They labeled them as
46:06
Speaker 3: a hate group, and in fact, the Southern Poverty Law
46:08
Speaker 3: Center's direction. Designation of the FRC as a hate group
46:13
Speaker 3: led one radical, deranged, angry leftist to show up with
46:16
Speaker 3: a gun trying to murder people at the FRC, and
46:20
Speaker 3: thankfully there was a security guard who heroically stopped this crazed,
46:25
Speaker 3: attempted murderer from carrying out the hate that was inspired
46:28
Speaker 3: by the SPLC. SPLC is so radical. They had a
46:32
Speaker 3: lawyer just recently that worked for them who was arrested
46:37
Speaker 3: for being an Antifa terrorist in Atlanta and participating in
46:42
Speaker 3: terrorist riots against law enforcement. Mind USPLC said when their
46:46
Speaker 3: own employee was nominated to be was indicted as being
46:51
Speaker 3: an Antifa terrorist, said, we stand by our employee. That's
46:54
Speaker 3: who they are. By the way, their director of litigation,
46:58
Speaker 3: a radical left winger Joe Biden, is dominated to be
47:00
Speaker 3: a Federal Court of Appeals judge, and the Democrats happily
47:03
Speaker 3: stood with her. Well, now the Southern Poverty Law Center
47:08
Speaker 3: is going on offense, and they've decided to target moms
47:11
Speaker 3: for Liberty. Let me say moms for liberty. They are
47:14
Speaker 3: phenomenal women. They are moms who are standing up for
47:17
Speaker 3: their kids. And you want to know the power of
47:19
Speaker 3: moms for liberty. Let me tell you someone who would
47:22
Speaker 3: not have the first name in his title, and that
47:25
Speaker 3: would be Governor Glen Youngkin. Without moms for liberty, Governor
47:29
Speaker 3: Glen Youngkin would be Glen Youngkin. There'd be no governor.
47:33
Speaker 3: We'd have Governor Terry mccauliffe. Because Virginia, which Biden won
47:38
Speaker 3: by nearly ten points, Virginia flipped red and white of
47:41
Speaker 3: Virginia flip read it flipped red because moms stood up
47:43
Speaker 3: and they were ticked off at the left wing takeover
47:46
Speaker 3: their schools. They were ticked off at the woke ideology.
47:49
Speaker 3: They were ticked off at Loud County, at the school
47:52
Speaker 3: district covering up for a sexual predator, a boy wearing
47:56
Speaker 3: a skirt the girl's restroom assaulted and raped a girl.
48:00
Speaker 3: They were ticked off at the critical race theory being
48:03
Speaker 3: taught to their kids. And Moms for Liberty energized moms
48:07
Speaker 3: in Virginia across the country. They also energize moms who
48:10
Speaker 3: were mad at the school shutdowns and said, look, our
48:13
Speaker 3: kids deserve schooling. These radical ideologues are shutting down schools
48:18
Speaker 3: and hurting our children. And these moms engaged, They spoke
48:22
Speaker 3: out they're powerful. They flipped Virginia from blue to red
48:28
Speaker 3: to the shock of the left wing establishment. What as
48:31
Speaker 3: the Southern Property Law Center said, moms they're defending their
48:35
Speaker 3: kids are a hate group. I'm gonna say right now,
48:39
Speaker 3: the SPLC is a radical left wing hate group. I'm
48:42
Speaker 3: gonna use that term. They hate you, they hate me,
48:46
Speaker 3: they hate America, they hate conservatives, they hate the Constitution,
48:50
Speaker 3: they hate the Bill of Rights, they hate families, they
48:53
Speaker 3: hate moms, they hate dads, they hate anyone who stands
48:56
Speaker 3: up for this country. And I gotta say for the
48:59
Speaker 3: SPLC to go after moms for liberty is disgusting.
49:03
