  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan says that trump indictment is the most political
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: thing he has ever seen in his entire life. That's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: what he had to say as he was talking about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the former indictment of the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And of course the left's like, well, hold on, it's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: not that bad, is it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, it actually is that bad. U Tahm Mayer.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Also, Trent Stagg slams Mitt Romney for blaming Trump for
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: own indictment, saying, quote, he has no backbone.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: What does this mean.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: There's a very good chance somebody's gonna be running against
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. That may be the best part of the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: whole entire thing. Donald Trump says he'll never leave twenty
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: twenty four presidential race no matter what happens to him.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: He is in it till the end, making it clear
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that he is not going to back down at all.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: US Senator Marsha Blackburn made it clear this week her
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the indictment as well, talking about how this
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: indictment of Trump, not Clinton, she says, reveals two major
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: important moments here, two major things about our justice system
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and how the law is clearly only applied and the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Harshess forms to conservatives, not at all to Democrats. That
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is another part of the problem. Take a listen to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Remember when Hillary Clinton deleted thirty thousand emails that she
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: knew needed to be turned over and those phones, Yep,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: they crush those with a hammer. Nothing to see, there,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: no reason to investigate. And now that President Biden has
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: been implicated in a five million dollar bribery scheme, what
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: they're doing is trying to interfere with that investigation.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And they're trying to interfere with that in the investigation.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: She's absolutely right, that's what they're trying to do, interfere
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: with it. Hillary Clinton did delete thirty thousand emails that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: she knew needed to be turned over, and those phones
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: crushed them with those hammers. We know that for a fact.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: It's not a joke. It actually happened. There was nothing
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to investigate there, right. No, Now you've got Biden five
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: million dollar bribery scheme, and what are they doing. They're
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: trying to go after President Donald Trump. It's two tier
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: justice system. You also have Hillary Clinton, the twice failed
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: presidential candidate, trying to mock Trump by promoting her but
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: her emails merchandise on social media. Bringing this back in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: light of recent weeks, she says get a limited edition.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But her emails how in support onward together groups working
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to strengthen our democracy. She actually put that up as
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a tweet mocking the system. Clinton, just so you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: who served as the Secretary State under President Barack Obama,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: mishandled classified information on a private email server, likely used
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to hide efforts to use her office to raise money
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for her family foundation. She scrubbed thirty three thousand emails,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: but the FBI director James Comy infamously recommended against charges
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: against Clinton in the summer of twenty sixteen.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: The statement was also.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Reported watered down to soften the gravity of Clinton's actions.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: That's another part of the problem. Senator Cruz said that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: trump indictment is an assault on our democracy.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I could not agree with him more.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Now, if you go back to the allegations here about
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: what has happened on the same exact day they decided
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to indict Donald Trump, Joe Biden apparently he was paid
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: five million dollars by a Barisma executive as part of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the bribery scheme. According to the FBI document, The sources
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: said at the end that the FBI had a high level,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: highly credible confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that he or she had with the top BRISM executive
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: over the course of several years, starting all the way back.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: In twenty fifteen.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The form that FBI agents used to record unverified reporting
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: from confidential human sources, called an ft DASH one zero
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: two three clearly lays out the bribery scheme. The BRISM
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: executive sought the advice of the confidential source the FBI
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: format a business professional on gaining US oil rights and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: getting involved with a US oil company. The BRISM executive
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: was speaking with a confidential source to quote get advice
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: on the best way to move forward in twenty fifteen
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and sixteen, according to the document, that confidential human source,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: highly credible, That's how the FBI has him labeled, said
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the Barisma executive discuss Hunter's role on the board, the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: confidential human source questioned why the BRISM executive needed his
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: or her advice in acquiring access to US oil if
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he had Hunter Biden on the board. The Barisma executive
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: answered by referring to Hunter Biden as dumb. Didn't Joe
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Biden say that the hunter Biden was the smartest man
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he knows pretty sure he did. The Barism executive explained
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to the confidential FBI source that Barisma had to quote
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: pay the Bidens because the Ukrainian prosecutor, Victor Soken was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: investigating Barisma and explain how difficult it would be to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: enter the US market in the midst of that investigation.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: This is what the FBI informant was being told directly, folks.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: We had to hire him because we needed to protect.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The confidential source further detailed that conversation, suggesting to Brisma
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: executive that he paid the Bidens fifty thousand dollars each,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to which the PRISM executive replied, it's not fifty it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: is five million, five million for one Biden, five million
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: for the other Biden, the Mrism executive told the confidential
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: human source, according to a source familiar with the document.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: A source familiar said, according to the document, the five
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: million payment appeared to reference a kind of retainer. Brisman
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: intended to pay the Bidens to deal with a number
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of quote issues, including the investigation led by Soken, who yes,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden was going to get fired. Another source referred
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to the arrangement as a quote paid to play scheme.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Sources said that the confidential human source highly by the way,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: highly their words, not mine. Credible source the believes that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the FBI and that five million dollar payment to Joe
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Biden the five million more to Hunter Biden occurred based
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: on their conversation with the Barisma executive. The confidential source
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: said the BRISM executive told him he paid the Bidens
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in such a manner quote through so many different bank
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: accounts that investigators would not be able to unravel this
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for at least ten years. The document then makes reference
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to the Big Guy, which is said to be reference
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to Joe Biden for years during their corruption The BRISM
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: executive told the confidential source that he didn't pay the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Big Guy directly. Fox News also has learned that the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: confidential human source has been used by the FBI as
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a regular reliable source of information since twenty ten had
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: been paid approximate two hundred thousand dollars by the bureau.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Sources said the BRISM executive appeared to be a very
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: very high high level of the company. One source familiar
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: suggests the confidence of source could be referring to the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: head of Barrisma, but said the name of the Prism
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: executive has redacted in the document. Biden's acknowledged that when
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he was Vice president, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor. At the time, Sokin was investigating Barisma holdings
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and at the time Hunter had a highly lucrative role
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on the board, receiving thousands of dollars per month. The
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: then Vice president threatened withhold the one billion of critical
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: US aid if Socin was not fired. Remember what he said.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I said, you're not getting the billion dollars. Joe Biden said,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be leaving here, and I think it
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was about six hours. I looked at them and said,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you're not getting the money, Biden recalled telling the Ukrainian
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: President Porshenko at the time. Biden recalling that conversation during
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: an event at the Council on Foreign Relations in twenty eighteen.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And then he grinned and said, well, son of a bitch,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he got fired, Biden said during the event. And then
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: they put in place someone who was solid at the time,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and we now understand what solid minut It was where
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: ten million dollars getting him fired, held a billion dollars
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in American aid to get ten million in return.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Not a bad deal.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Now, before I get into more of this story, I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: want to say thank you and tell you about our

• 10:40
  Speaker 1: clear to me that Joe Biden committed crimes. The question
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is will we ever get to the bottom of it?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: The excuse by Buyen ally as they say, look, the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: vice president pushed out that corrupt prosecutor over concerns of the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian prosecutor went too easy on corruption, and say that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he was fired at the time was the policy position
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of the US and the international community. If that was
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the case, then why did you get ten million dollars
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in return for it? In twenty nineteen, by the way,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: don't forget, they tried to impeach Donald Trump over this.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump pressed the Ukrainian presidents of Lenski to launch
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: an investigation in the Biden family actions and business dealings
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine, specifically Hunter Biden's ventures with the Ukrainian natural
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: guests from Barisma Holdings and Joe Biden's successful effort to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: have so Can ousted as the investigator. Trump's request was
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: regarded by Democrats as what they referred to as a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: quid pro quo for millions in US military aid Ukraine,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and they say it's been frozen. Democrats also claimed Trump
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: was meddling in the twenty twenty presidential election by asking
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a foreign leader to look into a Democratic political opponent.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Trump was later impeached by the House of Representatives for quote,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: abuse of power and obstruction of justice, all stemming from
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that one phone call. The Senate voted for a quitto
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, in February of twenty twenty as well,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but it didn't matter because the Democrats impeached him yet again.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: This confidential source, according to sources familiar with the form,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: told the BRISM executive he should quote get away from
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the Bidens and said the executive should not want to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: be involved with them. A source familiar with the document
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: also said that the confidential human source goes on to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: detail later conversation with the BRISM executive following the twenty
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: sixteen presidential election, and the confidential source asked the BRISM
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: executive if he was upset that Donald Trump had won
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the election. The source of the BRISM executive told the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: confidential source that he was an was excuse me told
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the confindential source that he was an oracle whewring to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: his or her advice to get away from the Bidens
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: due to fears of potential investigation into their dealings. House
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Oversite Committee has now subpoena the FBI and that document,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: finally getting to see it. After the back and forth
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: between the committee and the Bureau, and amid threats of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: holding FBI Director Ray in contempt of Congress, the FBI
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: allowed all committee members to view the document in a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: secure setting on Capitol Hill. Finally, and these revelations of
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the document came after a whistlebl er approached GOP Senator
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Chuck Grassley. This is a brave human being who did this?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: The House oversighte Committee chairman. The whistleblower said the FBI
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was in a position possession of a document dated June thirty,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. The White House has maintained that President Biden
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: has never been involved in his son's business dealings, has
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: never discussed any of his business dealings with him.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: That is a lie. We know that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The Hunter Biden's under federal investigation for quote as tax affairs.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: The investigation began in eighteen it was prompted by suspicious
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: foreign transactions. The White House, of course, declined to comment
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: on that. And here's what they're hoping for. They're hoping
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that he'll get indicted. They are hoping, okay, hoping that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: they will get indicted. And when they get indicted, what
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: they are also hoping for, specifically, is that it will
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: be for charges that have nothing to do, nothing to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: do with the President of the United States of America.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: In fact, they're hoping that it will insulate them from
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the charges. That is their goal, that is their hope. Now,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: so far, this doesn't seem to have hurt I say keywords,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: so far, Okay, this doesn't seem to have hurt the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. With Democrats, it seems
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like Democrats are completely fine, totally have no issue, no
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: problem at all with the president doing this or being
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: this way.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Now is it they have a problem with it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they have a problem with They
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: just and they're saying, but we got to win.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That could be part of.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It, or they're saying is long as it's Joe Biden
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and he's our guy, will stick with him till the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: very very very very end.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: There's also that possibility as.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Well, this investigation should move forward, and the fact that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the DOJ seems to be protecting the corruption of the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: president at all costs no matter what, tells you a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: hell of a lot about the corruption here.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I think it's really sad.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I actually think it's terrifying that we live in a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: country right now, the way that we are living in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: this country, in the way that they are reading and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: doing things one way for one group people and completely
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: different for another. That is concerning. This is how you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: lose stability in a nation. This is how you lose
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: law and order. If those in power are able to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: do the things that they do in Russia and China
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and Venezuela and Cuba, in Ukraine, and we start doing
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: exactly that, we've got a real problem here, real problem.

  Speaker 1: goldr A. There's also a new debate happening, and it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: one that's interesting. Ron dea Santis seems to be trying
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to do everything that he can to separate himself from
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and one way he's doing it is by
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: saying that if he was the president, he would have
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: given you better Supreme Court justices. I want you to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: take a listen to what he had to say on

• 18:21
  Speaker 4: to bear on this former President Trump hit three home
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: runs with his Supreme Court appointments. Are you going to
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: make the same kind of pledge to the Republicans as
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: you go around the country that your judges will be
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: like the Trump judges?
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Well, actually, I would say we'll do better than that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, I respect the three appointees he did, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: not none of those three are at the same level
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: of Justices Thomas and Justice Alito. I think they are
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: the gold standard, and so my justices will be along
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: the lines of a Sam Alito and a Clarence Thomas.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: In Florida, I inherited a very liberal state Supreme Court,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: maybe the most liberal in the country, very activist, but
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: I was able to place three of the four liberals
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: my first month in office with conservative justices. I've since
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: been able to make a number of appointments since then.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: So we now have the most conservative state Supreme Court
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: in the country, and so I think we have a
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: really good track record on doing that. And in fact,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: two of my Supreme Court picks when I first year
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: in office were elevated to the Eleventh Circuit by President
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Trying to distinguish himself saying I'll give you better Supreme
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Court justices than you've seen so far. That is that
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: going to play moving forward.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that's going to work as trying
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to distinguish yourself in a different way. Also CNN trying
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to imply that every conservative out there's a threat to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: national security, saying this about the FBI is tracking threats
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of violent rhetoric surging online. I've had the Trump hearing
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: Listen, now, Trumps, you would probably expect I can stay
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: in the presidential race even if he's convicted. He's railed
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: against the indictment over the weekend while he was on
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: the campaign trail.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Take a list as.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Far as the joke of an indictment it's a horrible thing.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: It's a horrible thing for this country.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, the only.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Good thing about it is it's driven my poll numbers
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: way up.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Can you believe there?
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Well on amount of hours, officials in Miami will hold
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: a news conference as they lamp up security ahead of
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Trump's initial court appearance. So we're still CNA. The FBI
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: is tracking potential threats as violent rhetoric surges online. We're
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: told the far right group the Proud Boys, is discussing
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: traveling to Florida to show their support for the former president.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: They're going to keep doing this, so just be prepared
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Right, anybody that's out there to fing the president, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: they're going to imply that you're somehow a threat to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: national security.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: You're a threat to this country.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: You're a threat to everybody out there, right, You're it's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: all a threat. Everything is a threat. There's nothing but threats.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: You are a threat, your friends are a threat. Anyone
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that supports Trump is a threat.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: It's all with. Everything is a threat.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: It's incredibly frustrating to watch us go down the same
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: road that we've had for years. And it's been years.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Of this, right, like for years We've heard this for years.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: We have heard over and over and over again. Oh,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the conservatives are the radicals. They're crazy, you can't trust them.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: They're nuts, they're crazy, right, they're they're they're extremists, like
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you can't You got this is this is too much
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: for people to handle. They're the radical extremists that you've
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: got to watch out for. They say it because they
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: hope that it will affect voters. Donald Trump is the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: threat to society. John Ratcliffe, former National Intelligence director, compared
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Biden's China policy to a battered wife syndrome. As he's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: talking about how they're so compromise. We can't even tell
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: what policy is real and what policy is being compromised
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: because of the money they were taking from China.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: The reason that we keep focusing on all of this
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: money that the Biden family apparently has taken in is
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: because China is our number one adversary. And this morning
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: we've got more news around Taiwan. Taiwan continues to see
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: Chinese jets, Chinese planes as well as ships in the
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: Taiwanese straight to intimidate Taiwan and anybody else who gets involved. Here,
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: your thoughts on the most recent provocations from the CCP.
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: I'm not surprised it's going to continue. You've talked about it.
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's really part of what I would describe
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: as and could be fairly described as the Biden administration's
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: battered wife syndrome policy with regard to China. Look, the
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: worst they treat us, the aggression, no matter what they
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: do to us, spy on us, you know, swerve in
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: front of our planes, cut in front of our ships,
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: the worst they treat us, the more the Biden administration
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: goes groveling to them, taking the blame for it, backing up,
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: backing down, apologizing, trying to get a meeting with the
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: people who have aggrieved us.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: And you know, you see that, you see that this
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: week with you know, Secretary Blincoln going on you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: bended knee begging for a meeting with with the Chinese
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: when they have committed one aggression after another against the
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: American people and our national security posture, never being confronted
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: by it. So why would they Why would they slow
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: down when they get when they keep getting away with
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: bullying us, with spying on us, all of that. And
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: in fact, that's why they're expanding that operation as has
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: been revealed with with what's happening in Cuba, where they're
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: going to vacuum up the most sensitive communications about you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: our military bases and our activities, our missile testing, the
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: operations that we have through Central Command and UH and
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: Southern Command in both the Middle East and in Central America.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: Because they got away with spying on us with a
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: spy balloon, and why would they stop now.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: Well, they have denied things and then they're forced to
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: admit it later. The Pentagon keeps lying to Fox News,
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: by the way, they lied about You told us first
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: on this program when that spy balloon first traversed the country,
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: you said, yeah, it's likely sending information back in real time.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: They denied it, denied it, deny it. So they had
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: to admit it. Oh yeah, they did send information back
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: in real time. And now they denied the Cuba spy center.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: Were you aware of the Cuba spy center when you
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: were a Director of National Intelligence for Donald Trump?
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: Well, there wasn't one, Maria. That's where you know, they
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: this idea that this existed during the Trump administration. It's
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: just what they did with the spy balloon. They tried
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: to say, well, they denied it, and then they said, well,
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: it happened, but it also happened during the Trump administration. Look,
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: we took you know, incredible inventory of China and its
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: capabilities during the Trumpet minut and the idea that this
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: kind of uh surveillance platform was present and being allowed
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: is just you know, is just absurd and uh. And
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: just like with this by balloon UH situation, you'll see
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: Trump administration officials coming out and saying it's simply not true.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: And but yet again the strategy for the Biden administration
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: is deny it until we can't deny it anymore. Then
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: find a way to blame the blame the Trump administration
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: for it. And it doesn't work, and it always unravels
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: and it will hear as well quickly. Regardless of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: point is what is true is that is what it
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: shows is regardless of what's taking place, is that China,
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: whether you want to call it expanding their capabilities or
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: starting their capabilities, the aggression is escalating. China is in
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: a cold war with us, and we are not in
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: one with them, and as a result, China is winning
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: that cold war because this administration, and you know you've
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: touched on this before, Maria. There could be a number
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: of reasons for it. It may be an issue of cowardice.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: It may be an issue of confidence in terms of
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: the president's abilities. Yeah, or it may be an issue
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: of complicity. None of those are good. But clearly China
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: is gaining the upper hand and will for the next
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: two years.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And it may be an issue, as he said, of
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: willfulness on our side. I actually believe that's exactly what
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: it is. I believe this is wilfulness by this administration.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And the reason why is very clear. This administration is compromised.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: They took a lot of money, billions and loans and
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars in cash they came into them. They
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: happily took that money. They were glad they took that money.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: They wanted to take the cash, and they didn't care
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: what it did to compromise the bidens or what it
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: could do in the future when he's the president. He
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: ran knowing maybe he's compromise and didn't care. I think
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: they also realized they needed more money, and so this
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: is their way of grabbing even more money. Just get
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: your hands on whatever you can and we'll figure it
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: out later.
