Impeachment Doesn't Mean What It Used to In This Country · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Impeachment is a word now that doesn't mean what it
0:04
Speaker 1: used to mean, at least in this country. The word
0:07
Speaker 1: impeachment used to actually mean something. Democrats have destroyed it
0:13
Speaker 1: by the way that they went after Donald Trump with
0:15
Speaker 1: impeachment now once but twice. Now it's a political play.
0:18
Speaker 1: It's no longer about are you actually breaking laws or
0:21
Speaker 1: undermined the country you're supposed to be protecting and representing.
0:25
Speaker 1: Impeachment has now been tainted, and so it is a
0:30
Speaker 1: idea that when people hear it, they kind of just
0:33
Speaker 1: rolled their eyes.
0:34
Speaker 2: I think they rolled their eyes.
0:35
Speaker 1: Because I think they realized how ridiculous it is that
0:38
Speaker 1: what happened the last time. And look, there were people
0:40
Speaker 1: that were in favor of the impeachment last time. To
0:42
Speaker 1: be clear, right, there were people that were completely in
0:45
Speaker 1: favor of impeachment, and it was because they wanted to
0:51
Speaker 1: take out Donald Trump politically. They knew Donald Trump wasn't
0:55
Speaker 1: colluding with the Russians. They knew that that report was
0:58
Speaker 1: paid for and created out of thin air by the
0:59
Speaker 1: Democrat They know that Hillary Clinton was one of the
1:02
Speaker 1: ones funding the Steele dossier. They knew that the FBI
1:06
Speaker 1: knew that the Steele dossier was alied. They knew that
1:09
Speaker 1: they couldn't corroborate that he couldn't corroborate the stories within
1:11
Speaker 1: the Stele dossier. In fact, the FBI offered him I
1:14
Speaker 1: think it was over a million dollars to substantiate the
1:18
Speaker 1: claims of the dossier, and he couldn't do it. So
1:20
Speaker 1: that should tell you an awful lot about it as well. Right,
1:23
Speaker 1: he couldn't even do that. Now, why couldn't he do that?
1:27
Speaker 1: Why why could he not do that? Because he made
1:33
Speaker 1: it up. Democrats made it up. They all lied, They
1:36
Speaker 1: all knew what they were doing. They were lying the
1:39
Speaker 1: entire time. The problem now is when people here impeachment,
1:43
Speaker 1: a lot of people go to their left, they go
1:45
Speaker 1: to the right, and it turns into a political moment.
1:49
Speaker 1: They say, Okay, I'm going to my team here. You
1:51
Speaker 1: guys on the other side, y'all are just abusing power,
1:53
Speaker 1: y'all are idiots, or you're just trying to take out
1:55
Speaker 1: your political opponent. That's why I say Republicans have to
1:58
Speaker 1: be very careful because this could backfire and actually solidify
2:04
Speaker 1: support that is wavering for Joe Biden. People are starting
2:09
Speaker 1: to cover the story of Joe Biden. They are okay,
2:12
Speaker 1: people are starting to realize and understand it. But if
2:16
Speaker 1: you turn it into a partisan issue by going through
2:20
Speaker 1: impeachment too early, then it can backfire on you on
2:24
Speaker 1: a very, very big way. I'll give you an example
2:29
Speaker 1: of why I say this, because I want to be clear.
2:31
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of impeaching Joe Biden because I think there's
2:33
Speaker 1: evidence to impeach him. I want to be careful and
2:35
Speaker 1: win and how and where we do it. Look at
2:38
Speaker 1: what happens every single time they indict Donald Trump. The
2:41
Speaker 1: charges are absurd, right, we know that, but they keep
2:44
Speaker 1: doing it. And why they keep doing it. Democrats believe
2:48
Speaker 1: that that Donald Trump is the easiest person to beat
2:50
Speaker 1: in the general election. So they're going to keep indicting him,
2:53
Speaker 1: win and wherever they can, regardless of the facts, because
2:56
Speaker 1: they believe.
2:56
Speaker 2: It guarantees him the primary.
2:59
Speaker 1: And what happens when they go after Donald Trump, the
3:03
Speaker 1: base rallies behind him. The exact same thing will happen
3:07
Speaker 1: if we go for impeaching Hunter Biden or excuse me,
3:10
Speaker 1: Joe Biden over Hunter Biden and Biden corruption. The same
3:13
Speaker 1: exact thing's going to happen. The same exact thing is
3:17
Speaker 1: going to happen, and other Republicans have gone on the
3:22
Speaker 1: record now as saying that there is a clear plan
3:25
Speaker 1: to launch an impeachment inquiry into Biden this month, meaning September. Now,
3:31
Speaker 1: three separate GOP led committees have investigated allegations that Hunter
3:36
Speaker 1: Biden leveraged his father's official government positions to secure foreign
3:42
Speaker 1: business deals. The open question for Republican lawmakers is whether
3:47
Speaker 1: President Biden ever personally benefited from his son's deals or
3:52
Speaker 1: abused the power of his office to influence them in
3:56
Speaker 1: any way. McCarthy said last month impeachment inquiry would only
4:01
Speaker 1: happen with a formal House vote. McCarthy said at the time,
4:05
Speaker 1: quote to open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter,
4:11
Speaker 1: and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use
4:14
Speaker 1: it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be
4:18
Speaker 1: heard on this matter through their elected representatives, McCarthy said
4:22
Speaker 1: in an interview with Breitbart. He then went on to
4:26
Speaker 1: say that's why if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry,
4:31
Speaker 1: it would occur through a vote on the four of
4:34
Speaker 1: the House and not through a declaration by one person.
4:39
Speaker 1: That means, in translation, that two hundred and eighteen lawmakers
4:43
Speaker 1: will need to support an impeachment inquiry against Biden, and
4:48
Speaker 1: it is not at all certain House Republicans have the
4:51
Speaker 1: votes to do it. Several GOP lawmakers, including Representative Ken Buck,
4:56
Speaker 1: a Republican from Colorado, and Representative Don Bacon, a Republican
5:01
Speaker 1: from Nebraska, have both voiced skepticism about impeachment. Even Somehow's
5:08
Speaker 1: conservatives who support impeachment have complained about the timing. Representative
5:14
Speaker 1: Dan bishop As, a Republican from North Carolina, said to
5:18
Speaker 1: Fox News last week that it appeared McCarthy was quote
5:22
Speaker 1: dangling the issue to avoid a confrontation over spending ahead
5:26
Speaker 1: of the next deadline to fund the government. Now, the
5:31
Speaker 1: House Freedom Caucus and other conservative groups have urged McCarthy
5:37
Speaker 1: to force a deeper spending cut, deeper spending cuts in general,
5:43
Speaker 1: and to attach GOP priorities to any short term or
5:46
Speaker 1: long term spending deal that would keep the government open
5:50
Speaker 1: that's unlikely by the way, to get through the Senate
5:52
Speaker 1: or the White House and to get a signature for approval.
5:57
Speaker 1: They view the last debt limit deal as a betrayal
6:01
Speaker 1: because it did not significantly curtail government spending. This is
6:06
Speaker 1: part of how why it was so hard for Ken
6:08
Speaker 1: McCarthy to get the Speaker's job, because many Republicans said
6:12
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing enough to stop out of control government spending.
6:17
Speaker 1: Representative Chip Roy, a friend of mine from Texas, warn
6:21
Speaker 1: GOP leaders earlier this month this hiding quote behind impeachment
6:27
Speaker 1: to screw America with status quo massive funding will not
6:32
Speaker 1: end well. In other words, he's saying, don't try to
6:35
Speaker 1: show me a nice shiny object in this hand while
6:38
Speaker 1: you're screwing me in the other hand.
6:39
Speaker 2: And look at what Chip Roy.
6:41
Speaker 1: By the way, he has a lot of people in
6:43
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus and a lot of conservatives around him.
6:45
Speaker 1: Look at the words he chose. He wasn't messing around.
6:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it again, hiding behind impeachment to screw
6:52
Speaker 1: America with status quo massive funding will not end well.
6:57
Speaker 1: In other words, if you think you can give us
6:59
Speaker 1: impeach will shut up on government spending, your wrong. If
7:03
Speaker 1: you think you can trade out of control government spending
7:05
Speaker 1: for an impeachment inquiry or a vote on impeachment, you're wrong.
7:09
Speaker 1: Now there's a narrow house majority, Republicans can only afford
7:14
Speaker 1: to lose five votes from their conference in an impeachment
7:18
Speaker 1: inquiry vote. To be clear, I would already say that
7:21
Speaker 1: they've lost three, possibly four, just based on the quotes
7:24
Speaker 1: that I gave you a moment ago from Republicans who
7:27
Speaker 1: are on the record, and those Republicans that I mentioned
7:30
Speaker 1: are from states where impeachment probably won't play well with
7:34
Speaker 1: the voters.
7:35
Speaker 2: Colorado is a great example. It's a more liberal state.
7:40
Speaker 1: At the same time as all this is going on,
7:44
Speaker 1: impeachment hardliners right like Representative Matt Gates have also threatened
7:50
Speaker 1: to attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy if the House does
7:53
Speaker 1: not follow three with impeachment vote, something he says he
7:57
Speaker 1: will pay off on the Speaker of the House. Kevin
8:01
Speaker 1: McCarthy's office has not responded to requests for comment. Why
8:05
Speaker 1: because they clearly wanted to leak this out and see
8:07
Speaker 1: how it was going to play out after.
8:09
Speaker 2: They leaked it.
8:10
Speaker 1: That's what they're clearly trying to do, which makes sense. Actually,
8:15
Speaker 1: now Republicans have to be careful here that they don't
8:20
Speaker 1: screw this up, because the American people right now seem
8:24
Speaker 1: to be coming around to the idea in the polls
8:28
Speaker 1: that the President is clearly corrupt and compromised. If you
8:33
Speaker 1: move too soon towards impeachment, you can screw the whole
8:38
Speaker 1: thing up. You can screw it up big time. If
8:41
Speaker 1: you go too quickly, you can screw all of this up.
8:45
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what was said by David Brooks.
8:50
Speaker 1: He was on PBS News Hour. David Brook's not a
8:53
Speaker 1: hardcore conservative, but he had this to say about the
8:57
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden story and that Hunter was selling influence and
9:02
Speaker 1: influence pedaling on his dad's name. He even said, as
9:06
Speaker 1: a liberal on PBS quote, I underestimated the Hunter's story.
9:12
Speaker 3: This week, though, we learned federal prosecutors will be moving
9:16
Speaker 3: ahead with an indictment against Hunter Biden, was likely related
9:19
Speaker 3: to gun charges expected by the end of the month. David,
9:23
Speaker 3: as you well know, those questions around Hunter Biden continue
9:26
Speaker 3: to fuel Republicans' threats to impeach President Biden. Is this
9:32
Speaker 3: becoming a liability for the president?
9:34
Speaker 4: Well, it's certainly a liability, you know, it sort of
9:37
Speaker 4: feeds into the narrative. He's part of the Washington establishment.
9:39
Speaker 4: Everybody's self dealing, so that's a liability. The gun charge,
9:43
Speaker 4: you know, he was a sick man Frankly who had
9:46
Speaker 4: some drug issues, and the gun charge to me is
9:48
Speaker 4: an ancillary issue. To me. I want to know he
9:51
Speaker 4: was clearly trying to pedal influence. Did he successfully pedal influence?
9:55
Speaker 4: Was any any law change that Joe Biden's policies changed
9:59
Speaker 4: to Joe Biden said any of those meetings. I kind
10:02
Speaker 4: of doubt it on all counts, But I do think
10:04
Speaker 4: now I've sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story. I
10:07
Speaker 4: think it's probably worth a look to see if there
10:10
Speaker 4: was actual influence peddling. But for the Republicans talk about impeachment,
10:14
Speaker 4: you gotta have a crime, like you got to have
10:16
Speaker 4: some accusation you can make, and they don't really have
10:19
Speaker 4: anything right now. It's worth looking into, but they're way
10:21
Speaker 4: premature and talking about impeachment.
10:23
Speaker 3: Jonathan, What do you make of that? Is Is it
10:25
Speaker 3: worth a look by both the Department of Justice and
10:28
Speaker 3: House Republicans as they say they want to do.
10:32
Speaker 5: Well, It's worth a look by the Department of Justice
10:34
Speaker 5: because they're already looking, and with a special counsel having
10:38
Speaker 5: already been appointed, there apparently is a reason to look.
10:41
Speaker 5: But the one thing I want folks to remember and
10:44
Speaker 5: to always remember, and that is the legal predicament surrounding
10:49
Speaker 5: Hunter Biden, the son of the president. It is nowhere
10:53
Speaker 5: near and it is not the same as what is
10:56
Speaker 5: facing the former president twice impeached, four times, indicted on
11:02
Speaker 5: ninety one counts in four different jurisdictions. I mean, they're Republicans,
11:09
Speaker 5: especially congressional Republicans, have been spending a lot of time
11:12
Speaker 5: trying to focus attention on Hunter Biden and the quote
11:15
Speaker 5: unquote weaponization of the Justice Department because of what is
11:19
Speaker 5: happening to Donald Trump.
11:21
Speaker 1: By the way, I wanted you to hear the response
11:24
Speaker 1: there because you need to understand what Democrats are gonna do.
11:28
Speaker 1: You hear this shocking moment from Brooks of honesty. I
11:32
Speaker 1: underestimated the Hunter Biden's story. Hunter was trying to pedal
11:35
Speaker 1: influence and then immediately they go back to well, but
11:38
Speaker 1: it's nothing compared to what Donald Trump did. You heard
11:42
Speaker 1: it right there, attack dog, get on there, bring it
11:45
Speaker 1: go all in, yell, scream, rant, rave, talk about you
11:49
Speaker 1: don't understand how bad it is for the bid for
11:52
Speaker 1: the Trumps. This is nothing compared to what you guys
11:55
Speaker 1: are looking at. This is nothing compared to what's going
11:58
Speaker 1: on right now with Donald J.
12:00
Speaker 2: Trump. That's their argument.
12:02
Speaker 1: That's their response, Well, you think we're bad, you've got indictments.
12:05
Speaker 2: We don't.
12:07
Speaker 1: I will say this a different way. Republicans have to
12:13
Speaker 1: be very careful that if we do this, we do
12:16
Speaker 1: it the right way, because the media is going to
12:18
Speaker 1: turn on it quickly. The media is going to turn
12:21
Speaker 1: on this thing so freaking fast, and they're going to
12:24
Speaker 1: turn this into a partisan issue so quick. And if
12:26
Speaker 1: we are just now getting people around the idea that
12:29
Speaker 1: there's corruption, the American people, I don't think are to
12:33
Speaker 1: the point of impeachment yet. They're just now finding out
12:38
Speaker 1: about the basics of this, folks, And we have to
12:41
Speaker 1: be very careful that we don't give them a gift
12:45
Speaker 1: by this becoming a partisan issue, so then they don't
12:49
Speaker 1: have to listen and understand just how corrupt the Biden
12:53
Speaker 1: crime family actually is. That is my concern, and I
12:57
Speaker 1: think you can understand why, because what's the point of
13:01
Speaker 1: doing this if we're not going to make it effective
13:05
Speaker 1: and if it backfires on us, what's the point of
13:07
Speaker 1: doing it?
13:09
Speaker 2: Now?
13:09
Speaker 1: There's also other issues at play here that we should
13:12
Speaker 1: talk about and we should use to our advantage.
13:14
Speaker 2: We'll give you an example.
13:15
Speaker 1: On nine to eleven, it was leaked President Joe Biden
13:19
Speaker 1: has now bowed down to Iran and we are going
13:22
Speaker 1: to pay them six billion dollars for five Americans in
13:27
Speaker 1: exchange for five Iranian prisoners. Then, on top of that,
13:33
Speaker 1: the President and the White House are now claiming that
13:35
Speaker 1: the six billion dollars for five Americans in exchange for
13:39
Speaker 1: five Iranian prisoners. So we're we're not just giving them
13:43
Speaker 1: a prisoner shop here, We're giving them six billion dollars.
13:46
Speaker 1: The White House claims, Oh, don't worry. The money will
13:50
Speaker 1: only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, So you don't
13:53
Speaker 1: have to worry if you believe that you're an idiot.
13:56
Speaker 2: This is Iran.
13:57
Speaker 1: Iran killed more American soldiers, was responsible for killing more
14:02
Speaker 1: American soldiers than any other country when we were in
14:05
Speaker 1: Afghanistan Iraq. How do I know that Because they were
14:08
Speaker 1: the ones that were giving safe harbor to terrorists and
14:11
Speaker 1: save passage of terrorists that were coming in to kill us.
14:13
Speaker 1: They were also the number one maker of the roadside
14:16
Speaker 1: bombs that were blowing up American soldiers. They are a
14:19
Speaker 1: state sponsor of terrorism. And when America got to Afghanistan.
14:22
Speaker 1: When America got to Iraq, Iran went full force into
14:27
Speaker 1: war to kill American soldiers. And now the Biden administration
14:33
Speaker 1: has reproved a deal with Iran to pay the rogue
14:37
Speaker 1: regimes six billion in exchange for five detained American citizens.
14:42
Speaker 1: The deal, according to the Associated Press, entailed the Biden
14:46
Speaker 1: administration issuing a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer
14:52
Speaker 1: six billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to
14:57
Speaker 1: Qatar without US sanctions. He would then be held in
15:00
Speaker 1: Guitar Central Bank for RAND to use, reportedly for the
15:04
Speaker 1: purchase of humanitarian goods.
15:05
Speaker 2: That's a joke.
15:07
Speaker 1: In addition, the Biden administration agreed to release five Iranian
15:13
Speaker 1: cistens held in the US. So not only we give
15:16
Speaker 1: them six billion, we're giving them five Iranian ciszens. I'm
15:20
Speaker 1: assuming you're involved in some sort of terrorism. I'm having
15:24
Speaker 1: more on that story coming up in a moment. Why
15:30
Speaker 1: would you do that, by the way, on nine to eleven,
15:33
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's anything that they would teach you
15:36
Speaker 1: in politics one oh one, it's like, Hey, if you're
15:38
Speaker 1: going to release some terrorists, don't do it on the
15:40
Speaker 1: anniversary of nine to eleven, especially when it's like Iran,
15:44
Speaker 1: and yet here we are having this conversation where the
15:48
Speaker 1: President is going to transfer six million, six billion dollars.
15:53
Speaker 1: According to the Associated Press, the Secretary of State Anthony
15:56
Speaker 1: Blincoln signed off on the deal late last week, but
15:59
Speaker 1: Congress was not known of the deal until Monday, which
16:01
Speaker 1: was nine eleven, the twenty second anniversary of the US
16:06
Speaker 1: suffering terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists. And that's the day
16:09
Speaker 1: we tell them. Oh, by the way, we're sending six
16:11
Speaker 1: billion dollars to Iran, who was killing American soldiers. The
16:16
Speaker 1: deal appears to go against the US policy by the way,
16:19
Speaker 1: of not paying countries to release American prisoners. Right, this
16:22
Speaker 1: is ransom money so as not to incentivize the behavior
16:27
Speaker 1: of capturing Americans. According to report, the transfer of the
16:31
Speaker 1: six billion was the critical element in the prisoner swap deal.
16:35
Speaker 1: The six billion. So we're giving them humans, and we're
16:38
Speaker 1: giving them six billion, more than a billion a person.
16:42
Speaker 1: Some European nations reportedly balked at participating in the transfer.
16:46
Speaker 1: By the way, but don't worry, then, Joe Biden, the
16:49
Speaker 1: big guy and his administration's blanket waiver was aimed at
16:54
Speaker 1: easing their concerns. The AP notes this morning. The waiver
16:59
Speaker 1: is likely to draw criticism a President Joe Biden from
17:02
Speaker 1: Republicans and others that the deal will boost the Iranian
17:06
Speaker 1: economy at a time when Iran poses a growing threat
17:09
Speaker 1: to US troops and Mid East allies. It's also a
17:17
Speaker 1: part here where it's just in competency, and the amount
17:21
Speaker 1: of incompetency here makes me angry. There is no way, okay,
17:31
Speaker 1: at all, there's no way that you can guarantee that
17:34
Speaker 1: the six billion dollars is going to be used for
17:38
Speaker 1: humanitarian reasons. Like that's not possible, okay, Like that's not
17:44
Speaker 1: something that's possible. Iran can funnel the six billion out
17:52
Speaker 1: of Katar and claim it's for humanitarian things. They can
17:57
Speaker 1: do that, but I promise you this, they're going to
18:00
Speaker 1: use it for whatever the hell they want to. The
18:03
Speaker 1: other part of this is when was the last time
18:06
Speaker 1: Iran was known for doing anything in a humanitarian fashion?
18:11
Speaker 2: Did? Did?
18:11
Speaker 1: And again, this is a question that would have been
18:13
Speaker 1: asked the meeting, But of course they they're not asking
18:15
Speaker 1: that question because they already know they they already know
18:21
Speaker 1: that that's not going to happen. So it's it's it's
18:24
Speaker 1: part of the lie, right because if you were having
18:27
Speaker 1: a normal administration meeting, someone has been like, hey, when
18:30
Speaker 1: was the last time that Iran ever did anything on
18:33
Speaker 1: a on a humanitarian basis? Like when when did that?
18:40
Speaker 1: When did that happen? And the answer to you, they don't, right, like, like,
18:45
Speaker 1: that's not what they do. That's not how any of
18:48
Speaker 1: this works. It's not how this that's not how they
18:51
Speaker 1: do any of this. So instead, we're giving six billion
18:57
Speaker 1: to a terrorist organization that's going to use six billion
19:01
Speaker 1: to kill people, claiming the money is going to be
19:03
Speaker 1: used for humanitarian reasons, while also giving up these five
19:09
Speaker 1: different Iranians that we have in our custody in the
19:11
Speaker 1: United States America. I'm still trying to find out more
19:14
Speaker 1: about these Iranians. We don't know anything about them yet
19:17
Speaker 1: because the White House seems to be keeping that very quiet. Now,
19:21
Speaker 1: if you just do a quick step back on the
19:24
Speaker 1: anniversary nine to eleven, let's be clear. Now you have
19:27
Speaker 1: a president that bowed to Iran on nine to eleven.
19:29
Speaker 1: You have a president that paid six billion to and
19:32
Speaker 1: gave up five Iranian prisoners in an exchange for five
19:37
Speaker 1: Americans with a country that clearly is a rogue nation
19:40
Speaker 1: that sponsors terrorism, has killed American soldiers. They Iran is
19:45
Speaker 1: responsible for more limbs lost on Americans in Iraq and
19:48
Speaker 1: Afghanian than any other country because of their bombs that
19:51
Speaker 1: they that they allowed to be made in their country
19:53
Speaker 1: and they gave to the terrorists. They gave save Hayesan
19:56
Speaker 1: to Isis and al Qaida. And then you combine with
20:00
Speaker 1: Biden breaking a twenty two year tradition. He spent nine
20:04
Speaker 1: to eleven not at White House or the site of
20:07
Speaker 1: this attack. Right, they said it's just time to move on.
20:11
Speaker 1: That was their logic here. Yeah, President Biden was taking
20:15
Speaker 1: fire from some families of nine to eleven victims for
20:17
Speaker 1: being the first president twenty two years to not spend
20:19
Speaker 1: nine to eleven in an attack site or at the
20:21
Speaker 1: White House. According to the new report, the family slammed
20:25
Speaker 1: Biden for spending nine to eleven in quote Alaska, but
20:28
Speaker 1: just part of the day where he is following up
20:31
Speaker 1: on a trip to India and Vietnam discussed climate change.
20:36
Speaker 1: He then tacked on Alaska, claiming he was doing something there. Now,
20:42
Speaker 1: Biden did do one thing. He visited the memorial of
20:46
Speaker 1: his friend, the late Senner John McCain and Vietnam. On Monday,
20:51
Speaker 1: he kissed the memorial, telling reporters traveling with him that
20:53
Speaker 1: it was important that he visited the site, as McCain
20:57
Speaker 1: was a quote good friend.
21:01
Speaker 2: That, by the way, is not connected to nine to eleven.
21:04
Speaker 1: But I guess they thought, oh, that's good enough, right,
21:06
Speaker 1: we'll check that box so that you can't criticize him.
21:11
Speaker 1: One of the victims said, if our leader is so
21:13
Speaker 1: willing to not show up to the memorial service, it's
21:16
Speaker 1: showing the message that Americans have forgotten and then it's
21:20
Speaker 1: okay to forget. Unfortunately, for myself and for all other
21:23
Speaker 1: families and those joining with us this morning, we have
21:26
Speaker 1: no way of forgetting. This is something that forever changed
21:29
Speaker 1: our lives, and this is something that we're going to
21:31
Speaker 1: live with forever, even if the rest of the country
21:34
Speaker 1: can let this be a day they do forget. White
21:39
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary Jean Pierre said at a press conference
21:41
Speaker 1: three days ago about nine to eleven. She said, quote
21:46
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven, Look, the President is going to
21:47
Speaker 1: mark the anniversary of September the eleventh, the Texas Year
21:50
Speaker 1: in Alaska as you just mentioned with service members and
21:54
Speaker 1: their families, and as he does every year, as he's
21:57
Speaker 1: done this every year, he plans to honor the lives
22:00
Speaker 1: lost in the families and loved ones who will fill
22:03
Speaker 1: the pain of the terrible day. This is something he
22:06
Speaker 1: feels is very important to do. We can only imagine
22:09
Speaker 1: the heartbreak and the pain that the nine eleven families
22:12
Speaker 1: have felt every day for the past twenty two years.
22:16
Speaker 1: John Pierre concluded, saying this, So I know the families
22:18
Speaker 1: have have certainly been on this on the mind recently
22:22
Speaker 1: in recent days, and they will continue to be to
22:25
Speaker 1: be on the mind as we approach the anniversary, as
22:27
Speaker 1: you know, is coming up Monday. In other words, asker,
22:31
Speaker 1: you guys, here's your lip service. We're too busy working
22:35
Speaker 1: a deal with a Ran right now now. So far
22:38
Speaker 1: we have not been able to figure out exactly what
22:41
Speaker 1: the deal is. We don't know, okay, we don't know
22:46
Speaker 1: what the deal is and who these Iranians are that
22:48
Speaker 1: we're giving back. And the reason why we don't know
22:51
Speaker 1: is because I'm sure they don't want us to know
22:54
Speaker 1: who it is. They're terrified of who these Iranians are
23:01
Speaker 1: and that it's going to get out before we hurry
23:03
Speaker 1: up and do the deal and move on. But telling
23:06
Speaker 1: Congress on the anniversary nine to eleven, God help us,
23:10
Speaker 1: and I mean that sincerely when I say that God
23:13
Speaker 1: help us. This is a president of the United States of America,
23:17
Speaker 1: and I would argue this deal with Iran is nothing
23:18
Speaker 1: more than just being compromised. This is straight up a
23:23
Speaker 1: president that I think is compromised in a way that
23:26
Speaker 1: people can't even imagine. There's no logical reason to do
23:31
Speaker 1: this deal. There's no logical reason to give six billion
23:36
Speaker 1: dollars to a terrorist organization because Iran is a terrorist organization.
23:41
Speaker 1: You can't tell me they're not. The facts back it up.
23:44
Speaker 1: The facts clearly show that they are a terrorist organization,
23:49
Speaker 1: and we're going to do that on the anniversary of
23:50
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. So let me go back to what
23:53
Speaker 1: I was saying a moment ago about impeachment. The American
23:58
Speaker 1: people seem to be turning on Joe Biden on their own.
24:03
Speaker 1: We have to be careful that we don't stop that
24:06
Speaker 1: momentum by pushing for impeachment, which we do not have
24:10
Speaker 1: the votes for, by the way, in the Senate. That's
24:13
Speaker 1: something that we need to really talk about we need
24:17
Speaker 1: to be very strategic about when we start this impeachment
24:20
Speaker 1: inquiry because it will galvanize the left and there will
24:23
Speaker 1: be people that are not actually right now standing and
24:27
Speaker 1: supporting Joe Biden that will then immediately go and stand
24:32
Speaker 1: and support Joe Biden. That's part of what people need
24:37
Speaker 1: to understand. I worry that if we move this too quickly,
24:43
Speaker 1: if we go too fast, that we're going to get
24:46
Speaker 1: ourselves in a situation where this will be one of
24:50
Speaker 1: the biggest backfires we've ever seen, and that this will
24:54
Speaker 1: galvanize the left. It will make them stand up for
24:57
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It will make them say to Joe o'biden, hey,
25:00
Speaker 1: we're going to We're going to really defend you because
25:04
Speaker 1: these Republicans instead of us listening to the crimes that
25:08
Speaker 1: the Biden crime family has committed. I also understand the
25:13
Speaker 1: votes and if we don't have the votes, and the
25:16
Speaker 1: other question is this worth it to do this now?
25:20
Speaker 1: While the presence prover ratings are an all time low,
25:23
Speaker 1: this story is starting to finally.
25:25
Speaker 2: Get to people.
25:27
Speaker 1: You look at the CNN poll that came out. I'll
25:29
Speaker 1: go back to what CNN said on their own TV
25:31
Speaker 1: about this. Here's how they put it. The majority believe
25:34
Speaker 1: Biden putting thumb on the scale of the Hunter probe.
25:38
Speaker 6: And when you look here about President Biden now serving
25:41
Speaker 6: as president, his actions in the Hunter Biden probe have
25:45
Speaker 6: they been appropriate or not? Fifty five percent of Americans,
25:49
Speaker 6: a majority, believe Biden's actions related to the Hunter Biden
25:53
Speaker 6: probe inappropriate. Twenty four percent of Democrats again, a majority
25:57
Speaker 6: of Independence fifty two percent, and nearly all Republicans at
25:59
Speaker 6: nine percent believe that. And this is to show what
26:03
Speaker 6: happens when you don't push back at all, which is
26:06
Speaker 6: really basically what the White House has been doing. There's
26:08
Speaker 6: not been a Hunter Biden defense kind of mounted in
26:12
Speaker 6: a public relations way, and it's starting to seep through
26:15
Speaker 6: beyond just the right wing echo chamber.
26:17
Speaker 1: We're seeing it's starting to seep through. Well, if you
26:21
Speaker 1: start impeachment, what do you think is going to happen?
26:25
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and
26:27
Speaker 1: your friends, and I will see you back here tomorrow
