Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The story that I'm about to tell you is one
- 0:02Speaker 1: that should be unbelievable in the United States of America.
- 0:06Speaker 1: What I'm about to tell you, especially after we knew
- 0:09Speaker 1: what was going on with Hunter Biden's business dealings and
- 0:12Speaker 1: who he was connected with with his business dealings, what
- 0:15Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you, it should be unimaginable that
- 0:18Speaker 1: somebody would actually pull this off in our government. This
- 0:22Speaker 1: story should be a story that immediately should have been
- 0:25Speaker 1: shot down from the White House saying this is absurd,
- 0:28Speaker 1: this has never happened, this is being this is ridiculous,
- 0:31Speaker 1: except it's not, because it's real. What we now know
- 0:35Speaker 1: is that Joe Biden, the President of the United States
- 0:37Speaker 1: of America, sold nearly one million barrels of our oil
- 0:44Speaker 1: from the US Strategic Petroleum reserves to the Chinese Communist
- 0:48Speaker 1: Party and their owned oil company that has direct ties
- 0:54Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden's firm. Now, I wish I was lying
- 0:58Speaker 1: to you. I wish I would this was not true.
- 1:00Speaker 1: But at this point, I think it's very clear that
- 1:01Speaker 1: this White House says we are invincible, we can do
- 1:04Speaker 1: whatever we want to do, and we just don't care
- 1:08Speaker 1: if the American people find out we are going to
- 1:11Speaker 1: whore out this White House. You have a president of
- 1:13Speaker 1: the United States of America who actually put a Medal
- 1:15Speaker 1: of Freedom award on an individual with the White House
- 1:19Speaker 1: yesterday backwards and didn't notice it, and then shook the
- 1:22Speaker 1: man's hand and then took pictures of the man while
- 1:25Speaker 1: his medal is on backwards, so the actual medals on
- 1:27Speaker 1: his back and there's nothing hanging in front of him,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and the president didn't notice it as he put the
- 1:32Speaker 1: metal on the dude. Okay, Now that's how the incompetency
- 1:37Speaker 1: level of our president is in this country. And the
- 1:39Speaker 1: entire room was like, are you kidding me? You could
- 1:41Speaker 1: hear it in the room. The audio that was released
- 1:43Speaker 1: was very clear the president had no idea he put
- 1:46Speaker 1: a medal on this guy backwards and send their sending
- 1:48Speaker 1: pictures shaking his hand, clearly seeing the medals on hanging
- 1:51Speaker 1: down it's behind his back, and the President of the
- 1:54Speaker 1: United States America didn't even notice anything was wrong. That's
- 1:57Speaker 1: what the rest of the world seeing, and that's what
- 1:59Speaker 1: this country he's seeing. And now we understand that he's
- 2:02Speaker 1: clearly not running this presidency and what he is is
- 2:05Speaker 1: nothing more than a guy that's basically alive. President Joe
- 2:09Speaker 1: Biden's administration clearly being run by everyone else but him
- 2:15Speaker 1: and his son, by the way, happened to be at
- 2:18Speaker 1: the same signing or the same awards ceremony I just
- 2:20Speaker 1: told you about. Yes, Hunter Biden actually was getting a
- 2:23Speaker 1: front row seat at the White House Medal of Freedom ceremony.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Apparently he need to be there to get some work done.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The President's son, Hunter Biden, received a front row sea
- 2:34Speaker 1: at the White House Medal of Freedom ceremony held on Thursday.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I guess he had to bring somebody in get some
- 2:38Speaker 1: deals done, or maybe he had to talk about all
- 2:39Speaker 1: the oil they're selling to the Chinese Communist Party that's
- 2:42Speaker 1: supposed to be going to help the American people. And
- 2:44Speaker 1: this could have been a reason to get in the
- 2:45Speaker 1: White House, right, great cover story. Hey, Dad, need to
- 2:50Speaker 1: get to the White House for this Medal of Freedom
- 2:52Speaker 1: awards ceremony because we got to talk about selling more
- 2:55Speaker 1: barrels of oil to the Chinese Communist Party in the
- 2:58Speaker 1: US from the US rate or petroleum reserves. I wish
- 3:04Speaker 1: that I am when I say this, and you can
- 3:08Speaker 1: hear I'm having a hard time to find the words.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I can't get my head around this. Even now, knowing
- 3:14Speaker 1: everything that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden have done, I
- 3:16Speaker 1: still cannot get my head around the idea that they
- 3:19Speaker 1: have actually sent nine hundred and fifty thousand barrels, basically
- 3:24Speaker 1: a million barrels of oil to the Chinese Communist Party,
- 3:27Speaker 1: specifically to a state owned gas company that has financial
- 3:30Speaker 1: ties to Hunter Biden. I still can't get my head
- 3:34Speaker 1: around it, because I would think even they would not
- 3:39Speaker 1: have would not do this. There was a there was
- 3:43Speaker 1: a very slim part of me, a small sliver of
- 3:48Speaker 1: hope that after all the news had come out because
- 3:52Speaker 1: of his laptop, that even they would think to themselves, hey,
- 3:55Speaker 1: we can't do this now. Releasing this million barrels of
- 4:00Speaker 1: day of oil is supposed to be staying in America.
- 4:03Speaker 1: It's supposed to be lowering artificially the price of gas
- 4:07Speaker 1: at the pump and lowering your pain at the pump.
- 4:11Speaker 1: That's why they're doing it, obviously, that's actually not why
- 4:14Speaker 1: they're doing it. They're doing it so they can make
- 4:16Speaker 1: money off of it. They're doing it so Hunter Biden
- 4:19Speaker 1: can make money off it. They're doing it so Joe
- 4:20Speaker 1: Biden can make money off it, and I think what
- 4:22Speaker 1: you're seeing now is the family as just decided we're
- 4:25Speaker 1: gonna whore out our dad to the very last breath
- 4:29Speaker 1: he takes. We got to get what we can because
- 4:31Speaker 1: as soon as it is he's no longer the president
- 4:34Speaker 1: or no longer alive, we can't make any money. Right
- 4:38Speaker 1: so we have maximum access to the US government policies
- 4:42Speaker 1: right now, more than we ever have, and we were
- 4:43Speaker 1: houring him out as the vice president or as a
- 4:45Speaker 1: senator with his brother, right this is this is maximum
- 4:49Speaker 1: possibility to make money. So we're gonna do it. So
- 4:54Speaker 1: back in April, the Biden Administration's Department of Energy announced
- 4:57Speaker 1: that nearly one million barrel sale to Unipeck, which is
- 5:02Speaker 1: the trading arm of Cinepec. Cinepac is wholly owned and
- 5:07Speaker 1: operated by the Chinese Communist Party. Unipac reportedly purchased oil
- 5:12Speaker 1: across the globe and then apparently sells it through its
- 5:14Speaker 1: Cinepec marketing subsidiary, according to unipex LinkedIn page. So this
- 5:20Speaker 1: is all out there and you can see these connections
- 5:22Speaker 1: like it's on their page. Unipec America is a wholly
- 5:26Speaker 1: owned subsidiary area of China International United Petroleum and Chemical
- 5:31Speaker 1: Company Limited, better known as UNIPAC. UNIPAC is the trading
- 5:35Speaker 1: arm of Cinepec, currently the number two largest company on
- 5:40Speaker 1: the Global Fortune five hundred list. That's what it's said
- 5:43Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Now that's on their LinkedIn page. Go
- 5:46Speaker 1: look at it yourself. Biden's son Hunter Biden, and this
- 5:51Speaker 1: has all come out specifically from his laptop and from
- 5:55Speaker 1: other business dealings that have been exposed. Has financial time
- 6:00Speaker 1: to the Chinese Communist Party owned at Centepec, a private
- 6:03Speaker 1: equity firm Hunter Biden co founded reportedly purchased nearly two
- 6:09Speaker 1: billion dollars steak in Cinepec marketing back in two thousand
- 6:13Speaker 1: and fifteen. So this isn't just a little bit of money.
- 6:15Speaker 1: We're talking about billions they're playing with now billions. Biden
- 6:20Speaker 1: has connected Centepec through his BHR Partners, is private equity
- 6:25Speaker 1: firm he co founded in twenty thirteen. Member in twenty thirteen,
- 6:29Speaker 1: his dad was obviously, you know on point. He's the
- 6:32Speaker 1: vice president, and they're hohouring out the White House, and
- 6:35Speaker 1: they're whoring out the Vice President's office, and they're whoring
- 6:37Speaker 1: out the American government, and they're making a ton of money.
- 6:41Speaker 1: How much money they make him will enough money that
- 6:43Speaker 1: this firm that he's a you know, co founder of,
- 6:47Speaker 1: bought a one point seven billion dollars steak in the
- 6:51Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party's CENTEPEC marketing. Hunter Biden was able to
- 6:56Speaker 1: get his hands on one point seven billion dollars. Folks,
- 6:59Speaker 1: you think he gets that money if his dad isn't
- 7:00Speaker 1: the vice president, there's not some shitty deals being done.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Think about it. Biden, in fact, at one point owned
- 7:06Speaker 1: a ten percent steak and BHR Partners through his wholly
- 7:10Speaker 1: owned firm that he had his LLC. So if you're
- 7:15Speaker 1: spending one point seven billion, you've got ten percent of that.
- 7:20Speaker 1: We're talking hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, it's unclear
- 7:26Speaker 1: whether the younger Biden still has a financial stake in
- 7:29Speaker 1: BHR Partners. Why because even though during the campaign, even
- 7:32Speaker 1: though during the election the White House promise that the
- 7:36Speaker 1: Sun was going to sell off all his financial stakes
- 7:38Speaker 1: in Chinese own companies, they never confirmed it. They just
- 7:41Speaker 1: lied to us. Biden's White House has actually repeatedly claimed
- 7:46Speaker 1: three twenty twenty twenty that Hunter Biden was out of
- 7:51Speaker 1: the equity firm but Chinese corporate records show that he
- 7:54Speaker 1: still has a stake in the company. In other words,
- 7:56Speaker 1: they just lied to us and knew that the media
- 7:58Speaker 1: would cover it up. Biden's White House has dodged questions
- 8:03Speaker 1: continuously coming in from conservative members of the media about
- 8:08Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's steak in BHR directing the press on Hunter
- 8:11Speaker 1: Biden's representatives saying he's a private sys and we don't
- 8:13Speaker 1: have to answer your questions. So then all of a sudden,
- 8:16Speaker 1: you wake up and bam, Hunter Biden's on the front
- 8:19Speaker 1: row at the Congressional Medal of you know, honor, you
- 8:23Speaker 1: know ceremony they're having. He's sitting there right after almost
- 8:29Speaker 1: a hundred million barrels or excuse me, nine hundred fifty
- 8:34Speaker 1: thousand barrels of oil have just been sold to the
- 8:37Speaker 1: company that he had a massive steak in or still
- 8:40Speaker 1: has a massive steake in China. Now, if you took
- 8:44Speaker 1: Hunter Biden out of this, by the way, and you
- 8:47Speaker 1: just had a headline that Joe Biden sells our strategic
- 8:51Speaker 1: oil reserves are supposed to be for a national security
- 8:54Speaker 1: to China, which is not helping the American people, right,
- 8:58Speaker 1: because we need the oil price to go down. It
- 9:00Speaker 1: doesn't do us any good if it goes to China.
- 9:02Speaker 1: That would be a scandal on its own. It's the
- 9:06Speaker 1: fact that we sold it directly the company that his
- 9:08Speaker 1: son has been making money with in China, with the
- 9:11Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. The question you have to ask yourself
- 9:14Speaker 1: now is how much dirt does China have on Joe
- 9:17Speaker 1: Biden for them to take this risk and do this now.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Last night there was a conversation about this with three
- 9:24Speaker 1: different people. One former congressman. Two Congressman James Comer said this,
- 9:30Speaker 1: listen about Hunter Biden. Congressman Comer, you know, Hunter Biden
- 9:33Speaker 1: has been prancing around the White House as if there's
- 9:36Speaker 1: nothing wrong. I used to chair the committee that you're
- 9:39Speaker 1: about to chair. Tell us about where you're being stone
- 9:43Speaker 1: walled with this Hunter Biden investigation. Well, we found out
- 9:46Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden has had one hundred and fifty suspicious
- 9:49Speaker 1: activity reports filed against various accounts that he and Jim Biden,
- 9:53Speaker 1: the President's brother, have. That's unprecedented, Jason, A normal person
- 9:58Speaker 1: America never has any bank violations. Less than one tenth
- 10:02Speaker 1: of one percent of people ever have any bank violations.
- 10:05Speaker 1: They've had one hundred and fifty, which I would say
- 10:07Speaker 1: is more than any person in the history of America.
- 10:09Speaker 1: These are the most serious banking violations you can have.
- 10:12Speaker 1: There's suspicion of money laundering, suspicion of receiving money from
- 10:16Speaker 1: terrorist groups, suspicion of money from bad actors in foreign countries.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Before Joe Biden became president under the Obama adminstration, in
- 10:25Speaker 1: the Bush administration, any member of Congress could go to
- 10:27Speaker 1: the Treasury Department and request suspicious activity reports. These were
- 10:31Speaker 1: put into place again to catch fundling money to terrorist
- 10:34Speaker 1: sales in the United States. I mean, it's unheard of.
- 10:36Speaker 1: He's had one hundred and fifty of these violations. Once
- 10:40Speaker 1: we determined this, then I went to Treasury requested the
- 10:43Speaker 1: stars one Hunter Biden. They said, no, we changed the rules.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You can't do that anymore. This started getting pressed. We
- 10:48Speaker 1: started leaking out that the Treasury Department was stolen on
- 10:51Speaker 1: on this. Then they came back and said, okay, we'll
- 10:53Speaker 1: make an exception. If you can get a single Democrat
- 10:56Speaker 1: to sign on the request with you, then we'll give
- 11:00Speaker 1: you the request. And obviously, Jason, as you can imagine,
- 11:02Speaker 1: no Democrats are interested to sign it on one hundred
- 11:05Speaker 1: suspicious activity reports. These are reports that come up when
- 11:09Speaker 1: you're dealing with terrorism, money laundering, suspicion receiving money from
- 11:13Speaker 1: terrorist groups, suspicion of money from bad actors in foreign countries.
- 11:16Speaker 1: And Hunter Biden's bank accounts and his uncle's bank acounts.
- 11:20Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty of these have come against him
- 11:23Speaker 1: while his dad's been the vice president and or the president.
- 11:25Speaker 1: They want to get him and guess what, Oh no, no no,
- 11:27Speaker 1: you got to find a Democrat to get to sign on.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Otherwise you can't see the information. So if you take
- 11:33Speaker 1: just a step back here and you look at this,
- 11:34Speaker 1: the Biden administration, this is a fact now sold a
- 11:37Speaker 1: million barrels of our oil from the strategic petroying reserves
- 11:42Speaker 1: to a Chinese communist oil coming that Hunter Biden has
- 11:45Speaker 1: financial ties to during an energy crisis. How is that
- 11:49Speaker 1: not impeachable offense? How is that not somehow unimpeachable moment
- 11:57Speaker 1: where you say, okay, it's that Hunter Biden is running
- 12:02Speaker 1: this White House or Joe Biden isn't running, or maybe
- 12:05Speaker 1: he is, but they're hohouring it out because apparently they
- 12:07Speaker 1: just don't care. They don't care Now this is the
- 12:12Speaker 1: same White House who has said, oh well, he'll get
- 12:14Speaker 1: rid of all of its financial ties. Listen to what
- 12:20Speaker 1: Jesse Waters had to say about this on Fox as well.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Fox News Alert. Joe Biden sold nearly a million barrels
- 12:27Speaker 1: of oil to a Chinese gas company that his son
- 12:30Speaker 1: Hunter may still indirectly own a steak in. This is
- 12:34Speaker 1: according to the Washington Free Beacon. The Biden administration announced
- 12:38Speaker 1: in April they were selling strategic petroleum reserve barrels to
- 12:41Speaker 1: the Chinese state owned oil company Unipec, also known as
- 12:46Speaker 1: sign Apec, but in twenty fifteen, Hunter's firm BHR but
- 12:51Speaker 1: a nearly two billion dollars steak in Sinopec. In November,
- 12:57Speaker 1: Hunter's attorney claims he divested his steaks and his Chinese holdings,
- 13:02Speaker 1: but as of March, Chinese records still listed him as
- 13:06Speaker 1: a ten percent owner in the firm VHR Partners, which
- 13:10Speaker 1: in Georgetown. By the way, HR Partners, if he still
- 13:12Speaker 1: owns a ten percent steak in, it would be worth
- 13:16Speaker 1: we assume, based on what they own, tens of millions,
- 13:21Speaker 1: if not more than one hundred million dollars. So if
- 13:25Speaker 1: you have this much financial steak and you're involved with
- 13:29Speaker 1: these types of shady people like the Chinese Communist Party
- 13:32Speaker 1: in this oil company, and all of a sudden, you
- 13:34Speaker 1: have the power, as the president knights It's America, to
- 13:37Speaker 1: direct where strategic oil reserves are going. And you send
- 13:40Speaker 1: them for the strategic petroleum reserves, and you do a
- 13:42Speaker 1: deal with the Chinese Communist Party and you send it
- 13:45Speaker 1: directly the firm and only to the firm that Hunter
- 13:48Speaker 1: Biden has a ten percent steak in this big conglomerate,
- 13:51Speaker 1: right through his firm, which they said he was going
- 13:53Speaker 1: to divest in. He never did. This is a lot
- 13:57Speaker 1: of money that Hunter Biden just made. No wonder he's
- 13:59Speaker 1: sitting front wrote the White House. I guess that's like,
- 14:00Speaker 1: you know, hey, hey crackhead, come on over today. You're
- 14:03Speaker 1: gonna come to the Medal of Freedom of wore. Good job,
- 14:05Speaker 1: a little buddy. You made. You made the family, You
- 14:08Speaker 1: made the crime family a lot of money. You made
- 14:10Speaker 1: the Biden crime family a big deal off of this
- 14:12Speaker 1: while Americans are suffering, and while you can't afford to
- 14:16Speaker 1: do things that you normally can afford to do, while
- 14:18Speaker 1: you are suffering, and we're supposed to be making things
- 14:20Speaker 1: better we were able to distract the American people and say, okay,
- 14:24Speaker 1: we'll release a million barrels a day. And when we
- 14:27Speaker 1: release out a million barrels a day, here's the best part.
- 14:30Speaker 1: We'll get to sell some to the Chinese. The same
- 14:33Speaker 1: Chinese people that you're involved in. Well, it will sell
- 14:37Speaker 1: them a million barrels in the US reserves to the
- 14:39Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party owned company link to Hunter Biden firm directly.
- 14:43Speaker 1: We'll make some money. Let's do it. Let's go. This
- 14:45Speaker 1: is amazing. I wonder how much the White House is
- 14:48Speaker 1: gonna have to worry about answering questions. Probably not much,
- 14:51Speaker 1: because the media doesn't cover this professor value to be
- 14:55Speaker 1: worth a cool twenty million dollars. The sale happened in April.
- 15:00Speaker 1: As of this moment, we can't say for sure that
- 15:02Speaker 1: Hunter has an ownership stake in this company, nor can
- 15:06Speaker 1: we say that he directly profited from the sale. But
- 15:09Speaker 1: what's indisputable is this Hunter Biden is not a Chinese economist.
- 15:16Speaker 1: He's not a Chinese energy expert. The only reason why
- 15:20Speaker 1: the Chinese would cut him in to their company is
- 15:23Speaker 1: so that he can pedal influence back in Washington with
- 15:26Speaker 1: his Dad and get them really great deals. And you
- 15:30Speaker 1: know what, it looks like he did his job. It
- 15:35Speaker 1: looks like he did his job. I go back to
- 15:39Speaker 1: that recording of Hunter Biden back in the day right
- 15:43Speaker 1: where he's asked that big question about, Hey, would you
- 15:46Speaker 1: be getting any of these deals if your last name
- 15:48Speaker 1: wasn't Biden? He said no, probably not. CBS even this morning,
- 15:54Speaker 1: CBS News was asked a question or asked or exposed
- 15:57Speaker 1: the Biden finances under scrutiny now and a letter has
- 16:01Speaker 1: now been obtained by CBS News to the Treasury Department
- 16:05Speaker 1: calling for a probe, and they gave it a whole
- 16:07Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Now, CBS News was the exclusive on what
- 16:13Speaker 1: I'm about to give you. Okay, they're the exclusive. They
- 16:16Speaker 1: had it first, and they gave it thirty seconds of airtime.
- 16:21Speaker 1: That's it. Based on our investigative units reporting, the US
- 16:24Speaker 1: Attorney in Delaware has been probing a number of issues.
- 16:27Speaker 1: They include tax fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, as well
- 16:33Speaker 1: as whether Hunter James Biden and their business associates complied
- 16:37Speaker 1: with foreign lobbying laws. What I can also tell you
- 16:40Speaker 1: based on our reporting, is that there's a lot of
- 16:42Speaker 1: noise and static in the system. Based on my experience,
- 16:45Speaker 1: that can be an indicator of conversations and discussions between
- 16:49Speaker 1: the two parties on whether they can reach some kind
- 16:52Speaker 1: of plea agreement. That's it, that's all they give you. Right.
- 16:57Speaker 1: The CBS News has a letter that they've obtained saying
- 17:00Speaker 1: about the Treasury Department that they have one hundred and
- 17:02Speaker 1: fifty times his bank accounts, that the sirens have gone off,
- 17:08Speaker 1: that he's doing something wrong right the side, that this
- 17:13Speaker 1: is going wrong, and the Press secretary comes out on
- 17:17Speaker 1: Biden's voice about a hunter Biden where we now know
- 17:19Speaker 1: he's involved in the Chinese deals, saying, I'm not going
- 17:21Speaker 1: to talk about alleged material from the laptop because he's
- 17:24Speaker 1: a private cisiens sitting front row at the White House
- 17:26Speaker 1: for this award ceremony. But we're gonna act like he's
- 17:28Speaker 1: somehow separate from the White House even though he's the
- 17:31Speaker 1: president's son. Why is there a voicemail of the President
- 17:35Speaker 1: talking to his son about his overseas business dealings. If
- 17:38Speaker 1: the President has said he's never spoken to his son
- 17:41Speaker 1: about his overseas business, Well, first, I'll say that what
- 17:46Speaker 1: the President said stands so if he if that's what
- 17:50Speaker 1: the president said, that that is what stands and second secondly,
- 17:54Speaker 1: but secondly secondly, business dealings, He says, I think you're clear.
- 18:00Speaker 1: How is that not him talking to his son about
- 18:02Speaker 1: his overseas business deals. We're not from this podium. I
- 18:05Speaker 1: am not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I will, I'm not I'm not going to talk about
- 18:12Speaker 1: alleged materials on the laptop. Or it's not not Peter,
- 18:16Speaker 1: I refer you to his son's representative. There. It is
- 18:23Speaker 1: one person in the media brave enough to even ask
- 18:25Speaker 1: a question, and after that everybody else shut up. You
- 18:30Speaker 1: got one hundred and fifty different times and his bank
- 18:34Speaker 1: account's been flagged for connections to either domestic terrorists, foreign
- 18:38Speaker 1: terrorism bad actors, terrorist states, foreign adversaries, one hundred and
- 18:43Speaker 1: fifty different transactions folks, meaning none of his business dealings
- 18:48Speaker 1: are legitimate. They're all illegitimate, They're all just selling access
- 18:51Speaker 1: to US government. And then all of a sudden, you
- 18:55Speaker 1: got nine fifty basically million barrels of oil being sold
- 18:58Speaker 1: the Chinese Communists Party not helping Americans. That alone, right
- 19:03Speaker 1: there is in the peachable offense in my mind, you
- 19:05Speaker 1: have a you have And again I'm gonna quote Joe
- 19:08Speaker 1: Biden here. Joe Biden says we are at war. He
- 19:10Speaker 1: said that in a tweet. He said we're in a
- 19:13Speaker 1: time of war. And he said this over the weekend
- 19:19Speaker 1: in a tweet. So he attacked the gas station saying,
- 19:24Speaker 1: we are at a time of crisis, in a time
- 19:26Speaker 1: of war, so please lower your prices. What's he doing
- 19:30Speaker 1: while he's accusing gas station small business owners and nine
- 19:34Speaker 1: point nine percent of gas stations in America are not
- 19:37Speaker 1: owned by corporations. They're single party LLCs. There's just mom
- 19:41Speaker 1: and pop businesses. They make more money off the candy
- 19:43Speaker 1: bar they sell you than they do the gas that
- 19:45Speaker 1: they put that you put in your take. And he
- 19:48Speaker 1: tries to attack them, put on them, they're the ones
- 19:50Speaker 1: are screwing you, not us. And while he's saying that
- 19:53Speaker 1: we're in a time of war and a time of crisis,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and he points the finger that the mom and pops
- 19:58Speaker 1: and says, you're the bad guys. He's actually selling oil
- 20:01Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party. It's not helping us. That alone
- 20:04Speaker 1: should be an impeachable offense. But the media refuses to
- 20:08Speaker 1: cover how big of a story this corruption is? In fact,
- 20:11Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, and this came out a few weeks ago.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I played it for you here. There was a there
- 20:17Speaker 1: was a very little headline that came out the Hunter
- 20:20Speaker 1: Biden frequently covered the family expenses Texas. Text messages now
- 20:24Speaker 1: revealed these were new from his laptop, and there was
- 20:26Speaker 1: a little internet TV show out of DC called The
- 20:30Speaker 1: Rising connected to the Hill, which is the insider newspaper
- 20:35Speaker 1: in DC who said this. Over the weekend, we learned
- 20:38Speaker 1: that Hunter's lucrative business dealings often included giving as much
- 20:42Speaker 1: as fifty percent of his earnings to his dad, President
- 20:46Speaker 1: Joe Biden. According to text messages on the old laptop,
- 20:50Speaker 1: the text read quote, I hope you all can do
- 20:53Speaker 1: what I did and pay for everything for this entire
- 20:55Speaker 1: family for thirty years. Hunter legendly said to his daughter
- 20:58Speaker 1: Naomi in twenty nineteen, quote, it's really hard, but don't worry.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Unlike Pop, I won't make you give me half your salary.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Pop is in reference to the president. Pop is in
- 21:09Speaker 1: reference to the president. So there it is. Can you
- 21:12Speaker 1: imagine if I go back to this scenario here? But
- 21:16Speaker 1: can you imagine if Don Junior had one hundred and
- 21:19Speaker 1: fifty different times as bank accounts popped. Right, We're popped
- 21:24Speaker 1: by the US government for suspicious activity. Can you imagine?
- 21:28Speaker 1: I go back to NBC News. Remember when NBC News
- 21:30Speaker 1: analysis of Hunter Biden's hard drive show he in his
- 21:32Speaker 1: firm took in eleven million dollars and shady deals that
- 21:36Speaker 1: you robbed. You still robbed the bank. The President's son
- 21:40Speaker 1: and his company brought in about eleven million dollars between
- 21:43Speaker 1: twenty thirteen and twenty eighteen working as an attorney, a
- 21:46Speaker 1: board member to a Ukrainian gas company accused of dribing
- 21:49Speaker 1: a prosecutor, and for a joint venture involving a Chinese
- 21:52Speaker 1: businessman now accused of fraud. According to an NBC News
- 21:55Speaker 1: analysis of a copy of Biden's hard drive and iCloud
- 21:58Speaker 1: account obtained by NBC from a representative for Rudy Giuliani,
- 22:02Speaker 1: as well as documents released by a Senate committee during
- 22:05Speaker 1: the campaign, then candidate Biden denied his son profited off
- 22:08Speaker 1: a China connection. My son has not made money in
- 22:12Speaker 1: terms of this thing about what are you talking about China?
- 22:16Speaker 1: The records show Hunter Biden's company received nearly five million
- 22:19Speaker 1: dollars in consulting contracts from that joint venture funded by
- 22:22Speaker 1: a Chinese energy company. A snapshot of hunter biden spending
- 22:26Speaker 1: shows that for about five months in late twenty seventeen
- 22:29Speaker 1: and early twenty eighteen, he spent more than two hundred
- 22:32Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month on things like luxury hotel rooms,
- 22:35Speaker 1: cash withdrawals, dental work, and payments on a Porsche. According
- 22:38Speaker 1: to documents on the hard Drive, a time period in
- 22:41Speaker 1: which hunter Biden has acknowledged struggling, he was struggling with drugs.
- 22:44Speaker 1: So there's you're out. You heard there at you he
- 22:46Speaker 1: struggling at time, he admits he was struggling with drugs.
- 22:50Speaker 1: So Hunter Biden disappears right, we don't see him anywhere
- 22:52Speaker 1: then bam. Hunter Biden caught on camera at the White
- 22:54Speaker 1: House sitting front row at the Medal of Freedom Award
- 22:57Speaker 1: Chairminet guess you get that your prize? Hey, kid, come
- 23:00Speaker 1: on out right, come on out, kid. We want to
- 23:05Speaker 1: have you at your dad's so proud of you for
- 23:08Speaker 1: making this deal with China done. We want you to
- 23:10Speaker 1: come out and we want you to sit there. We
- 23:13Speaker 1: want you to sit down and have this conversation with US.
- 23:17Speaker 1: CBS News eleven hours ago updated their story, and I'm
- 23:22Speaker 1: going to play this for you because they've just updated
- 23:24Speaker 1: it now to be a little bit longer. House Republicans say.
- 23:29Speaker 1: This is their headline now buried on their website that
- 23:32Speaker 1: I was just able to finally find right where it says.
- 23:36Speaker 1: House Republicans say Treasury won't hand over Hunter Biden documents
- 23:40Speaker 1: unless Democrats join the request. Now, CBS News Online had
- 23:47Speaker 1: this story. All right, this is the first time I've
- 23:50Speaker 1: even heard this story because of course it's online. This
- 23:52Speaker 1: isn't national news playing on TV. This is on their website. Listen,
- 23:57Speaker 1: there is fresh scrutiny this morning on the president's one
- 24:00Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. CBS News obtained a letter from House Republicans
- 24:03Speaker 1: demanding Treasury Secretary Danny Yellen share information about his alleged
- 24:07Speaker 1: suspicious foreign business dealings. It also accuses the Biden administration
- 24:11Speaker 1: of stonewalling the GOP led investigation. So Senior investigative correspondent
- 24:16Speaker 1: Katherine Herriage has been following this closely and joins US Now, So, Catherine,
- 24:21Speaker 1: what are these suspicious activity reports? What are they talking about? Well,
- 24:26Speaker 1: they go by the acronym stars and their financial transactions
- 24:30Speaker 1: Anne Marie that require further review, their flag for further
- 24:34Speaker 1: review by the bank. It can be based on the
- 24:36Speaker 1: amount of money involved, something they call velocity, how quickly
- 24:40Speaker 1: a deposit is made to an account, and then how
- 24:43Speaker 1: quickly it cashes out, and then lastly something called layering,
- 24:47Speaker 1: how many accounts does the money pass through before it
- 24:50Speaker 1: reaches its final destination. That can be an indicator of
- 24:53Speaker 1: suspected money laundering. Based on our reporting here at CBS
- 24:56Speaker 1: News over one hundred and fifty financial transactions involving the
- 25:00Speaker 1: global business affairs of Hunter Biden and the President's brother
- 25:04Speaker 1: James Biden, we're flagged by the banks for further review.
- 25:07Speaker 1: We don't know how that played out in terms of
- 25:10Speaker 1: whether they believe there may have been criminal activity or
- 25:13Speaker 1: really nothing suspicious at all. So what does the letter
- 25:17Speaker 1: from the HASP I love how she says, Katherine Herriton says,
- 25:23Speaker 1: or nothing suspicious, all suspicious at all? You want me
- 25:26Speaker 1: to believe? And then again, it's a CBS News and
- 25:28Speaker 1: they're doing this on their online show, okay, and they're
- 25:32Speaker 1: still trying to make you believe that it's normal for
- 25:35Speaker 1: there to be one hundred and fifty times that your
- 25:37Speaker 1: bank accounts are flagged for activities that are very clearly suspicious,
- 25:44Speaker 1: dealing with ties to row governments, ties to money laundering,
- 25:51Speaker 1: ties to terrorists groups and terrorists organizations. They want you
- 25:57Speaker 1: to believe, okay, that they want you to believe that
- 26:04Speaker 1: this could be totally normal. It's not normal. It's never
- 26:09Speaker 1: been normal. As far this thing from normal. This is abnormal.
- 26:14Speaker 1: This is this is insane to even imply that Hunter
- 26:18Speaker 1: by knowing what's on his laptop, knowing all the information.
- 26:21Speaker 1: To me, if you're an investigative journalist the way that
- 26:24Speaker 1: they Catherine says she is, you can you're not stretching
- 26:30Speaker 1: to say how problematic this actually is, right, You're not
- 26:35Speaker 1: stretching to say that this is extremely problematic, and that's
- 26:43Speaker 1: going to be a very hard or unprecedented for somebody
- 26:46Speaker 1: to have one hundred and fifty different transactions that pop
- 26:50Speaker 1: this way like that. That would not be abnormal to
- 26:53Speaker 1: say that. And then they're like, lastly, they're like, oh,
- 26:56Speaker 1: let's talk about these republicans real quick, right, Let's talk
- 26:58Speaker 1: about what these Republicans are doing to try to somehow
- 27:01Speaker 1: make the sound parts and the only thing parts. And
- 27:03Speaker 1: here is the fact, they won't turn over the documents.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Listen to a response Katherine well Lad. What they're alledging
- 27:10Speaker 1: is that the Treasury Department is blocking what they describe
- 27:14Speaker 1: as traditional oversight of financial affairs. They're saying that in
- 27:19Speaker 1: June of this year, there was a phone call between
- 27:22Speaker 1: Treasury officials and Republican House staffers in which the staffers
- 27:26Speaker 1: were told that Treasury would not be providing these suspicious
- 27:30Speaker 1: activity reports for congressional review unless Democrats also joined the request.
- 27:36Speaker 1: And Congressman James Kohner, who wrote to the Treasury Secretary,
- 27:40Speaker 1: said the Treasury's actions call for investigation and raise new
- 27:44Speaker 1: questions about the degree to which the Biden administration is
- 27:47Speaker 1: using the federal government to provide cover for the Biden
- 27:50Speaker 1: family and its associates. I think, for context, it's important
- 27:53Speaker 1: to note that Democrats control the House Oversight commas, so
- 27:57Speaker 1: they're really the party with the most poll in terms
- 27:59Speaker 1: of getting records and issuing subpoenas. So what has the
- 28:03Speaker 1: response been like from the Treasury Department. Well, we've reached
- 28:06Speaker 1: out to the Treasury Department for a new statement. What
- 28:09Speaker 1: they told us when we did the original reporting back
- 28:12Speaker 1: in May is that they believe that they have complied
- 28:16Speaker 1: with these records requests and they've done so in a
- 28:19Speaker 1: manner that they think enables robust congressional oversight. There's sort
- 28:23Speaker 1: of another element to this. The Republicans are saying that
- 28:27Speaker 1: they're more restrictions on how they access these records and
- 28:30Speaker 1: something called an in camera review, which means that you
- 28:32Speaker 1: can come into a room, you can review the records,
- 28:35Speaker 1: but you can't take them with you, and in some
- 28:37Speaker 1: cases you can't bring in paper and pencil to take
- 28:42Speaker 1: notes as well. So the wy House position, Katherine, as
- 28:45Speaker 1: you know, has been at the president by the way.
- 28:47Speaker 1: By ways, let's just hit pause there and really think
- 28:50Speaker 1: about this and pull back. If you're trying to hide
- 28:54Speaker 1: something from the American people, this is how you would
- 28:56Speaker 1: do it. You don't let people see the documents for
- 29:00Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty times as bank countsmen flag, you
- 29:02Speaker 1: don't let them go into the room and see it.
- 29:04Speaker 1: You don't let them come in the room with paper
- 29:06Speaker 1: and penny even if they do get to see it.
- 29:07Speaker 1: And you make it where a Democrat has to sign
- 29:09Speaker 1: on one of the Republican actually review these documents, and
- 29:12Speaker 1: not a single Democrat will obviously help review these documents
- 29:16Speaker 1: or will sign off on this. The reason why is
- 29:19Speaker 1: because we're trying to hide something. My gut is we'll
- 29:23Speaker 1: get to see this after the midterm elections. What do
- 29:25Speaker 1: you bet? What do you bet after the midterment? Only
- 29:29Speaker 1: after the midterm elections do we see the intelligence on
- 29:34Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, Because at that point then they can just say,
- 29:37Speaker 1: screw it, we're done with Joe Biden. Let this be
- 29:41Speaker 1: the thing that brings him down. Will get rid of
- 29:43Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and we'll move on. But we got to
- 29:45Speaker 1: make it through the midterms. This story is not going away,
- 29:50Speaker 1: and they know it. They don't care, though, because the
- 29:52Speaker 1: media is protecting them, and so are the Democrats in
- 29:54Speaker 1: Congress who refuse to allow the documents to be seen
- 29:57Speaker 1: by the public. And if you vote for these scum
- 30:00Speaker 1: bags and you defend these comebags, you're part of the problem.
