The House GOP’s investigations HEAT UP THIS WEEK! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: There are a lot of investigations that are going on
0:04
Speaker 1: right now in Washington, DC. This is an abnormal number
0:08
Speaker 1: of investigations. And it's not just Hunter Biden, it's the president,
0:12
Speaker 1: but there's also other investigations. What are the Republicans doing
0:17
Speaker 1: and what are the payoffs from this election in the
0:20
Speaker 1: midterms of the House we're able to gain control of
0:22
Speaker 1: the House. I want to walk you through what all
0:25
Speaker 1: is happening, because there's a lot of you that have
0:29
Speaker 1: reached down on social media, a lot of you that
0:31
Speaker 1: listen to the podcasts that have been asking for kind
0:34
Speaker 1: of a recap. I want to give that to you.
0:37
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, new Speaker of the House, has told House
0:39
Speaker 1: Republicans to treat every committee like the oversight panel that
0:45
Speaker 1: is used every last bit of authority to dig into
0:49
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. That work begins in earnest, literally this week.
0:55
Speaker 1: There are several probes that you need to understand. Largely
0:59
Speaker 1: over all, they're directed at President Joe Biden, specifically Joe
1:03
Speaker 1: Biden for his family and their business deals. They're also though,
1:09
Speaker 1: also these probes that are going after his administration. This
1:15
Speaker 1: sets up stage for a series of significant legal and
1:19
Speaker 1: political battles between the two sides of Pennsylvania Avenue. It's
1:24
Speaker 1: all by the way with an eye on the true battle,
1:27
Speaker 1: and that is the twenty twenty four presidential election. Biden
1:32
Speaker 1: is obviously saying he's gonna run right for reelection. House
1:36
Speaker 1: Republicans are saying, look, we want to expand our control
1:40
Speaker 1: and have back the White House as it was put
1:42
Speaker 1: by Politico. And after two impeachments, not one, but two
1:47
Speaker 1: based on total crap a former President Donald Trump and
1:51
Speaker 1: a select committee that publicly detailed every last move to
1:55
Speaker 1: unsuccessfully overturn the twenty twenty election results, GOP lawmakers are saying,
2:00
Speaker 1: all right, it's our turn, except this time we have
2:04
Speaker 1: actual evidence, not a fake dossier paid for by the
2:07
Speaker 1: Democratic Party in Hillary Clinton. What is all involved here?
2:12
Speaker 1: Several different things. Republican leaders say that they are going
2:16
Speaker 1: to grill several Biden world figures, including Department of Homeland
2:22
Speaker 1: Security Secretary my Orcus. Why because my Orcus is a
2:27
Speaker 1: guy that has been lying about the border and claimed
2:29
Speaker 1: the border is secure when clearly it's not. Many believe
2:33
Speaker 1: that my orcists will be impeached by the House based
2:36
Speaker 1: on probable cause and what he has done with not
2:40
Speaker 1: doing his job as the Department of Home ind Security Secretary.
2:44
Speaker 1: There's also going to be and I'm going to get
2:46
Speaker 1: back to this a minute, but I'm giving you the overview.
2:49
Speaker 1: The second thing that may not be on your radar
2:51
Speaker 1: that's very important is the oversight and the investigation to
2:56
Speaker 1: now retired Chief Medical Advisor in a Director Anthony Fauci.
3:03
Speaker 1: That is going to be a huge probe into COVID,
3:07
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen origins and doctor Fauci. And did doctor Fauci
3:11
Speaker 1: lie to Congress about Gaina function research of the WU
3:14
Speaker 1: Hunt Institute of Virology. Did he lie to Congress about
3:18
Speaker 1: COVID and the vaccine when he said if you get
3:20
Speaker 1: the vaccine, you will not get COVID and things like that?
3:23
Speaker 1: Did the administration knowingly lie to the American people trying
3:26
Speaker 1: to force you into a vaccine by saying if you
3:29
Speaker 1: got the vaccine, you will not get COVID and they
3:32
Speaker 1: knew that in fact that was a lie. That is
3:35
Speaker 1: going to be what's on the table there. Then you
3:37
Speaker 1: have another major legal and political issue, and that is
3:42
Speaker 1: the probe into the President's son, Hunter Biden and the
3:47
Speaker 1: Biden crime family. Now the GOP has to manage all
3:51
Speaker 1: of this in different ways. They don't want these jobs
3:56
Speaker 1: to basically backfire and look like they were to do nothing. Congress,
4:01
Speaker 1: that's what the media is gonna say, no matter what.
4:03
Speaker 1: But you really have to be careful to make sure
4:05
Speaker 1: you're pushing an agenda while also doing these investigations. Now,
4:09
Speaker 1: there have been very early calls because they believe it's
4:12
Speaker 1: going to be very easy to impeach my Orchis. There
4:15
Speaker 1: have been some Republicans saying, we don't want to do this,
4:18
Speaker 1: this is going to look like tit for tat. Let's
4:22
Speaker 1: just move on from this. I disagree with that. I
4:25
Speaker 1: think this is absolutely what they should be doing because
4:28
Speaker 1: it exposes the problems at the border. I'm gonna say
4:32
Speaker 1: that again, it exposes the problems at the border. I
4:39
Speaker 1: think this is a presidential election. Your subject that's gonna matter.
4:44
Speaker 1: I think it's an important one. Now, the GOP investigations,
4:49
Speaker 1: it's going to be like a fire hose. It's gonna
4:52
Speaker 1: leave very few parts the Biden administration untouched. Now that's
4:56
Speaker 1: their own fault. I'm referring to the Biden administration. Lawmakers,
5:01
Speaker 1: AIDS and many other Republicans are saying, it's go time
5:05
Speaker 1: the gloves were off and they try to overthrow the
5:08
Speaker 1: will of the people. In twenty sixteen, with the impeachment
5:12
Speaker 1: that immediately started Donald Trump, the framing of people around
5:16
Speaker 1: Donald Trump for crimes, the abuse of the deep state
5:18
Speaker 1: in the FBI, with people like General Flynn, Republicans are saying,
5:22
Speaker 1: we're going to investigate, except we have actual documents that
5:26
Speaker 1: are real documents, and actual conspiracies with crime and Hunter
5:30
Speaker 1: Biden and James Biden and Joe Biden, Joe Biden right
5:34
Speaker 1: that we now know about. We have the laptop, we
5:36
Speaker 1: have all of these things. So a top priority for Republicans,
5:40
Speaker 1: they say, is investigating Hunter Biden. Now, this is where
5:44
Speaker 1: and I think you know, James coming has been very far,
5:49
Speaker 1: very very smart about this, and Jim Jordan has been
5:52
Speaker 1: very smart about this. They're saying, the investigation hunter Biden
5:56
Speaker 1: really isn't about Hunter Biden. The investigation into Hunter Biden
6:01
Speaker 1: is really about the President Knight States of America. That's
6:04
Speaker 1: what this is about. And they have to be smart
6:06
Speaker 1: and they have to explain to people this is not
6:11
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden. This is about the information from Hunter
6:14
Speaker 1: Biden that was sold Now before I get into more

Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash Ben. Now, part of this goes
7:43
Speaker 1: back to, now, what we know about this email that
7:45
Speaker 1: was sent to business partners, and this is a big deal.
7:51
Speaker 1: Miranda Divine was on Tucker Carlson and she said, there's
7:55
Speaker 1: no question Hunter Biden used classified materials to make an
7:59
Speaker 1: email to a business partner to get that eighty plus
8:02
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year job a month job. I should say,
8:05
Speaker 1: excuse me, eighty plus thousand dollars a month from Barisma.
8:09
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Miranda Devine at the New York Post
8:12
Speaker 1: may have brought us a little closer to the answer.
8:14
Speaker 1: So she analyzed the documents that we do have, the
8:16
Speaker 1: ones found on Hunter Biden's famous laptop, and on that
8:19
Speaker 1: laptop she found a remarkable email and emailed Adjustice Department
8:23
Speaker 1: has never shown to the public, despite the fact its
8:25
Speaker 1: agents have had it for years. And the document that
8:28
Speaker 1: Miranda Divine found indicates that Hunter Biden had classified information
8:34
Speaker 1: in his possession almost certainly that came from his father
8:37
Speaker 1: than the Vice President, and that he used that information
8:40
Speaker 1: to make piles of money for the Biden family while
8:42
Speaker 1: working at a fake job in Ukraine. That's what it shows. So,
8:46
Speaker 1: if there's an actual scandal at the core of this
8:49
Speaker 1: classified document story, here it is. So here are the details.
8:54
Speaker 1: On April thirteenth, twenty fourteen, Hunter Biden said an email
8:57
Speaker 1: to his business partner in Barizma, Devin Archer. Now he
9:01
Speaker 1: sent this a week before his father, the Vice President,
9:03
Speaker 1: flew the Ukraine to meet with Ukraine's Prime minister. In
9:06
Speaker 1: the email, Hunter Biden composed a detailed memo with nearly
9:10
Speaker 1: two dozen data points about the political and strategic situation
9:13
Speaker 1: on the ground in Ukraine. What's so immediately striking, and
9:18
Speaker 1: Rando Divine pointed this out, having read the entire laptop,
9:20
Speaker 1: is that this email bears no resemblance to anything else
9:24
Speaker 1: we have that Hunter Biden has ever written. In fact,
9:27
Speaker 1: it sounded like something produced by the State Department. There's
9:30
Speaker 1: no question that Hunter Biden used classified materials to assemble
9:34
Speaker 1: this email. Listen carefully quote, there's strategic values to create
9:39
Speaker 1: a land bridge for are you to CRIMEA, he writes
9:41
Speaker 1: at one point, notice he uses the diplomatic abbreviation for Russia.
9:44
Speaker 1: Are you because he's in the know? Quote That won't
9:47
Speaker 1: directly affect Barresma holdings, but it will limit future UK
9:51
Speaker 1: exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities. In particular, let me
9:56
Speaker 1: just be clear, there is no way in hell that
9:59
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden had the capacity, especially April of thirteen fourteen,
10:05
Speaker 1: based on how much of a drug addict he was
10:08
Speaker 1: at that exact moment in his life, in his own words,
10:11
Speaker 1: in his own pictures, and it was very clear that
10:16
Speaker 1: there is no way that Hunter Biden could put that together.
10:20
Speaker 1: There's not another single email on his laptop that shows
10:25
Speaker 1: any type of form that looks anything close to what
10:32
Speaker 1: he just wrote. That's why people say this has got
10:34
Speaker 1: to be a classified document that he pulled this from.
10:38
Speaker 1: Second point about this email from Hunter Biden that everybody
10:42
Speaker 1: needs to understand is the information that he is writing
10:46
Speaker 1: in the email to Devin Archer a week before his
10:52
Speaker 1: dad goes to the Ukraine and two weeks before he
10:56
Speaker 1: gets an eighty thousand dollars a month job from Barisma
10:59
Speaker 1: in industry knows nothing about where they speak a language
11:04
Speaker 1: that he can't speak. Is that there doesn't seem to
11:10
Speaker 1: be any way possible that Hunter Biden would know what
11:14
Speaker 1: America's strategic value are. And all of this, all these
11:20
Speaker 1: details about Ukraine without it being classified documents that he
11:25
Speaker 1: clearly got from We would assume his father, Hunter Biden,
11:30
Speaker 1: and this extremely long email to Devin Archer that's going
11:34
Speaker 1: to the Ukrainians showing hey, hire me, right and I've
11:39
Speaker 1: got real info for you. I've got real intel for you.
11:45
Speaker 1: I'll give you everything you need. This is how well
11:49
Speaker 1: connected I am. Holy cow, it's right there in plain sight.
11:57
Speaker 1: How is he able to get away with us? Well?
11:58
Speaker 1: Because he's a Democrat and Joe Biden is the president.
12:03
Speaker 1: Keep listening. It will also, Hunter Biden added, quote, further
12:07
Speaker 1: destabilize the UK nationally and for whatever government is in power,
12:11
Speaker 1: and the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those
12:15
Speaker 1: sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the EU, which
12:18
Speaker 1: does not have the political will to incurse step energy
12:21
Speaker 1: price increases and so on. Now keep in mind, if
12:26
Speaker 1: you're wondering is this plausible, keep in mind what he
12:29
Speaker 1: wrote this email. Hunter Biden was an active drug addict
12:33
Speaker 1: just two months before He wrote this two months in
12:36
Speaker 1: February of twenty fourteen. He'd been thrown out of the
12:38
Speaker 1: Navy for cocaine use. He couldn't even stay sober long
12:42
Speaker 1: enough to pass a scheduled drug test. He was completely
12:47
Speaker 1: out of control, yet somehow in that state. In this email,
12:52
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden manages the sound like a seasoned Ukraine hand
12:56
Speaker 1: from foggy bottom, referring to Russia as RU and all
12:58
Speaker 1: the rest, And critically, he seemed to know for a
13:01
Speaker 1: fact the details of American diplomatic strategy in the region.
13:06
Speaker 1: The US will respond with even stronger sanctions. How did
13:09
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden know that? Oh, come on, come on. Keep
13:13
Speaker 1: in mind that when Mike Flynn mentioned the topic, just
13:15
Speaker 1: mentioned the topic of sanctions to the ambassador from Russia,
13:19
Speaker 1: the FBI swooped in and destroyed his life and threatened
13:21
Speaker 1: to send him to prison. And he was the National
13:23
Speaker 1: Security Advisor at the time. He had the highest possible
13:26
Speaker 1: clearances you could have. Hunter Biden had no clearances whatsoever.
13:29
Speaker 1: He was the drug addict son of the Vice President.
13:33
Speaker 1: And here he is this email, casually mentioning to his
13:36
Speaker 1: business partner that sanctions may be coming, and here are
13:39
Speaker 1: the effects on the EU and energy prices in order
13:42
Speaker 1: to keep making eighty grand a month in a no
13:44
Speaker 1: show job on the board of Ukrainian energy company, working
13:49
Speaker 1: on a topic he knew nothing about. So what are
13:52
Speaker 1: we looking at here? What we're looking at as a crime?
13:54
Speaker 1: That's crime, a real one. Hunter Biden clearly knew it
13:58
Speaker 1: was a crime. He told his business partner in the
14:01
Speaker 1: same email to go to CVS and buy a quote
14:03
Speaker 1: burner phone to make sure their conversations were not seen
14:06
Speaker 1: by anyone else. Now, what's amazing and so telling is
14:10
Speaker 1: that the DOJ has had this four years because the
14:14
Speaker 1: FBI seized Hunter Biden's laptop before the last presidential election
14:19
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Keep in mind, also the context and
14:24
Speaker 1: the context is always Ukraine. That was true in twenty fourteen,
14:29
Speaker 1: it's true in two twenty three. Back in twenty fifteen,
14:32
Speaker 1: Ukraine's top prosecutor, Victor Slocan, began investigating Barisma and wondering
14:37
Speaker 1: why is it paying the vice president's son tens of
14:40
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars a month. Now, let me just hit
14:44
Speaker 1: pause on this and I want to take you back
14:47
Speaker 1: for context to remind you of one of the most
14:53
Speaker 1: amazing blessings of Joe Biden. Joe Biden doesn't know when
14:57
Speaker 1: to shut up. To say that again, Joe Biden doesn't
15:03
Speaker 1: know when to shut up. We have that now famous
15:07
Speaker 1: video that keeps getting more and more telling, right, It
15:12
Speaker 1: keeps getting more and more obvious of the crimes than
15:17
Speaker 1: my opinion that we're committed in this family. Joe Biden
15:21
Speaker 1: was on stage and he bragged about his influence, straight
15:26
Speaker 1: up bragged about it. Folks, this is how awesome I am.
15:30
Speaker 1: I'm at the Council on Foreign Relations. I'm on a panel,
15:34
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you what a bad AI am.
15:37
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you about that time that
15:39
Speaker 1: I had so much influence that I held up American
15:41
Speaker 1: taxpayers dollars in Ukraine until they fired a prosecutor that
15:45
Speaker 1: I'm claiming as corrupt that was really just doing his job,
15:48
Speaker 1: and it was actually investigating my son's company. The's on
15:52
Speaker 1: the board. What do you get when you are paying
15:56
Speaker 1: a son millions of dollars? What is that eighty thousand
15:59
Speaker 1: dollars a month get you? Well, apparently it gets you
16:01
Speaker 1: America's foreign policy through classified briefings that they email based
16:06
Speaker 1: on what we're seeing right, that's part one. But then
16:09
Speaker 1: we also give you a little different level of protection.
16:11
Speaker 1: Ukraine desperately needs money from the United States of America.
16:14
Speaker 1: They did certainly before the war that's going on right now.
16:18
Speaker 1: And that's called leverage. And so when you need something,
16:23
Speaker 1: not a problem. Right, when you need something, we got
16:26
Speaker 1: you covered. Oh there's a prosecutor you want to get fired,
16:31
Speaker 1: No problem, We'll just say, America won't give you any
16:34
Speaker 1: loan guarantees. We won't give you the loans for your country,
16:38
Speaker 1: which will make you insolvent and basically go bankrupt and
16:41
Speaker 1: destabilize your economy and your government, unless you fire a
16:46
Speaker 1: prosecutor that's looking into the sun my son's company. That's
16:51
Speaker 1: the deal. And he says it out loud while bragging now,
16:55
Speaker 1: of course, leaving out the part about his son. Listen
16:57
Speaker 1: carefully to Joe Biden. I was not II, but it
17:01
Speaker 1: just happened to be. That was the assignment I got.
17:03
Speaker 1: I got all the good ones, and so I got Ukraine,
17:07
Speaker 1: and um I remember going over convincing our team, our brothers,
17:13
Speaker 1: to convincing as that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
17:17
Speaker 1: And I went over I guess the twelfth, thirteenth time
17:21
Speaker 1: to Kiev and uh and I was going supposed to
17:24
Speaker 1: announce that there was another billion dollars loan guarantee. And
17:28
Speaker 1: I had gotten a commitment from Porschenko and from Yachts
17:33
Speaker 1: and Yoke that they would take action against the state prosecutor.
17:35
Speaker 1: And they didn't. So they said they had They were
17:38
Speaker 1: walking out to the present and said no. I said,
17:40
Speaker 1: I'm not going to We're not going to give you
17:42
Speaker 1: the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority, you're
17:45
Speaker 1: not the president. The president said, I said, call him.
17:49
Speaker 1: I said, I'm telling you're not getting the billion dollars.
17:51
Speaker 1: I said, you're not getting the billion. I'm gonna be
17:53
Speaker 1: leaving here. And I think it was what six hours.
17:55
Speaker 1: I looked, I said, leaving in six hours. If the
17:57
Speaker 1: prosecutors not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh, son
18:01
Speaker 1: of a bitch got fired. And they put in place
18:05
Speaker 1: someone who was solid, Yeah, solid for your son, that's right,
18:10
Speaker 1: someone that would stop looking at the business deals. Son
18:14
Speaker 1: of a b he got fired. That right there is
18:20
Speaker 1: everything you need to know. That right there is the ballgame.
18:27
Speaker 1: This is why this investigation by the Republicans actually matters,
18:33
Speaker 1: and it may go somewhere. And that's just one of them,
18:38
Speaker 1: so let's get into the others. There's another investigation that
18:42
Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to do, and this one, yes,
18:46
Speaker 1: certainly has connections to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, but
18:50
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different than that, all right. The Republicans
18:55
Speaker 1: are going to kick off on February eighth with the
19:00
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee holding hearings on Twitter. They're gonna hold hearings
19:05
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and it's handling of the twenty twenty New
19:09
Speaker 1: York Post story one Hunter Biden that clearly was done
19:11
Speaker 1: on purpose to affect the outcome of the election. Twitter,
19:14
Speaker 1: as you know, restricted users' ability to share the article,
19:17
Speaker 1: treating it like child pornography. Top officials characterize the decision
19:22
Speaker 1: as a mistake in the aftermath at Twitter, and now
19:24
Speaker 1: we know so much more from the Twitter files and
19:27
Speaker 1: Elon Musk buying them and exposing all this. House Oversight
19:31
Speaker 1: Committee Chairman James Comer has officially invited testimony from three
19:36
Speaker 1: former top employees, James Baker, former Twitter Deputy General Counsel
19:42
Speaker 1: you'll Roth, Twitter's former global head of trust and safety
19:46
Speaker 1: as well, and Twitter's former chief Legal advice officer. A
19:51
Speaker 1: GOP committee aide has said to Politico that they expect
19:55
Speaker 1: the former employees to testify. Why are they going to
19:59
Speaker 1: do this? Because they want to know how corrupt big
20:01
Speaker 1: tech actually is. Comber is also re upping questions to
20:05
Speaker 1: a gallery selling Hunter Biden arts since Joe Biden has
20:10
Speaker 1: been the president. The chair is also asking for Treasury
20:14
Speaker 1: Department to release these suspicious activity reports known as STARS,
20:19
Speaker 1: related to the Biden family and all of their associates. Now,
20:25
Speaker 1: those records are filed by financial institutions banks. Okay, they
20:30
Speaker 1: don't necessarily suggest wrongdoing, but they are frequently used as
20:34
Speaker 1: investigation leads when they think they're seeing illegal activity suspicious
20:39
Speaker 1: activity coming from bad actors. Comber also warned that he
20:44
Speaker 1: is willing to subpoena the relevant records after Treasury rejected
20:48
Speaker 1: his initial requests, saying it needed to engage in discussions
20:52
Speaker 1: with a committee about the thrust of its investigation. Congressman
20:56
Speaker 1: Comber also vowed that his committee and the commitee Hunter
21:00
Speaker 1: Biden investigation will be quote credible. Some GOP leaders are
21:04
Speaker 1: concerned that this is going to look like a witch hunt. Now.
21:07
Speaker 1: Many of the conservative members of the committee, including Representative
21:10
Speaker 1: Scott Perry, Paul Gosarve Arizona, and Majorie Taylor Green are
21:16
Speaker 1: raising fresh skepticism at about that among Democrats, and they're saying, oh,
21:20
Speaker 1: these people are just you know, Republicans looking to even
21:23
Speaker 1: the score. I disagree with that, and you're going to
21:26
Speaker 1: get that no matter who you put on this committee. Hell,
21:28
Speaker 1: you could put Mitt Romney on one of these committees.
21:31
Speaker 1: I know he's a senator, but I'm just saying hypothetically,
21:33
Speaker 1: you could put him on there and they wouldn't be happy.
21:35
Speaker 1: You could put Liz Cheney on there and bring her
21:37
Speaker 1: back to Congress, they wouldn't be happy. You could put
21:39
Speaker 1: Addam Kinzinger, who's now at CNN as a liberal commentator
21:44
Speaker 1: right masquerading as I am a Republican, and you could
21:47
Speaker 1: put him back on one of these committees and they
21:49
Speaker 1: would still say that this is a terrible committee in
21:52
Speaker 1: a witch hunt. It's not. It's based in fact. Democrats
21:56
Speaker 1: are going to try to spend this, so you need
21:58
Speaker 1: to be ready for that. Now, let's move on to
22:01
Speaker 1: another investigation that I also think matters a lot, and
22:05
Speaker 1: that's going to be the investigation and a very important
22:08
Speaker 1: one into the entire issue of COVID. Two years Democrat
22:16
Speaker 1: stonewalled on anything that dealt with a pandemic. Republicans say
22:21
Speaker 1: it's time to start looking at what actually happened. The
22:24
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee is going to hold its first hearing on
22:27
Speaker 1: COVID on Wednesday about the use of government funding on
22:31
Speaker 1: the coronavirus issue, homing in on a series of coronavirus
22:36
Speaker 1: relief bills that amounted to trillions of dollars an aid
22:39
Speaker 1: in total. Republicans are describing their focus on coronavirus AID
22:43
Speaker 1: as an attempt to guide the committee towards rooting out waste, fraud, abuse,
22:48
Speaker 1: and deliberate mismanagement. Now, pandemic aid is a topic that
22:53
Speaker 1: the previous Democratic led House had already quote visited what
22:58
Speaker 1: they do, They covered it up and didn't do anything right.
23:00
Speaker 1: They go, oh, we already had a hearing last year
23:03
Speaker 1: with federal watchdogs in charge of oversight, so this has
23:06
Speaker 1: already been done. They're just redoing what we did again.
23:08
Speaker 1: That's a lie. Be prepared for that lie. Republicans are
23:12
Speaker 1: also going to have the opportunity. Kevin McCarthy is vowing
23:17
Speaker 1: that the new COVID panel will probe so called gain
23:20
Speaker 1: of function research. This is where doctor Fauci becomes a
23:25
Speaker 1: big problem for the Democrats. All right, let me just
23:28
Speaker 1: take a quick pause here, and I do want to
23:30
Speaker 1: tell you about our friends that August of Precious Medals.
23:33
Speaker 1: If you've been saving for a long time for retirement,
23:36
Speaker 1: you know that you need to protect your money and
23:40
Speaker 1: one way to do that is with a gold Ira.
23:42
Speaker 1: I'm excited about telling you about a company that I
23:44
Speaker 1: actually use. I have actually worked with a Gust of
23:48
Speaker 1: Precious Medals. They are different because they will even tell
23:51
Speaker 1: you if a gold Ira isn't your answer, they give
23:55
Speaker 1: you just the facts. Now, a Gust of Precious Medal
23:58
Speaker 1: is all about protecting your ira and your four oh
24:01
Speaker 1: one k. They're great people a great conservative company. They're
24:07
Speaker 1: great people at a great conservative company. They understand right
24:11
Speaker 1: now that it's crazy with our economy and it's extremely important,
24:15
Speaker 1: especially if you're close to retirement, to protect your assets
24:19
Speaker 1: because there's no time to make up losses. So if
24:22
Speaker 1: you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more, then you
24:25
Speaker 1: should take a look at their free guide and you
24:27
Speaker 1: should really sign up for something that I've done. It's
24:30
Speaker 1: a web conference where you talk to a top individual
24:34
Speaker 1: about gold iras and your four oh one k. Check
24:38
Speaker 1: them out and get the peace of mind that you're
24:40
Speaker 1: protecting your hard earned assets when you get really close
24:43
Speaker 1: to retirement. Eight seven seven four the number four gold
24:48
Speaker 1: IRA eight seven seven four gold Ira, or visit them
24:53
Speaker 1: online at Augusta Precious Metals dot Com. Say I sent you,
24:57
Speaker 1: and they will pay your fees for up to ten years.
25:00
Speaker 1: That's Augusta Precious Metals dot Com eight seven seven four
25:04
Speaker 1: gold Ira Now gain a function. Research which involves the
25:08
Speaker 1: intentional manipulation of viruses and pathogens in ways that couldn't
25:12
Speaker 1: make them more deadly or contagious is something that apparently
25:16
Speaker 1: we were funding at the wu Hunt Instuite of Virology
25:18
Speaker 1: your tax hours. It's something under oath that doctor Fauci
25:22
Speaker 1: has lied about repeatedly in my opinion, and the goal
25:25
Speaker 1: is to connect these dots so that we actually know
25:31
Speaker 1: what happened. The coronavirus was intentionally created in a lab,
25:34
Speaker 1: not in a wet market house. Republicans also say they're
25:38
Speaker 1: going to use the majority to delve into several foreign
25:40
Speaker 1: policy targets outside of COVID. They say they're going to
25:45
Speaker 1: look into what happened, for example, in not just Ukraine,
25:49
Speaker 1: but also in Afghanistan. They're going to look into why
25:54
Speaker 1: we keep bowing to China and a national security is
26:00
Speaker 1: there representing Mike Gallagher, who was tapped by McCarthy to
26:03
Speaker 1: lead the Select panel, has said he'll focus on supply
26:07
Speaker 1: chain issues, bolstering the US military, and privacy and social media,
26:12
Speaker 1: and particularly diving into TikTok, which most governments and state
26:16
Speaker 1: governments are banning from government issued cell phones now because
26:20
Speaker 1: they believe it's just a spy apparatus in China. Beyond China,
26:27
Speaker 1: the GOP foreign policy investigations are also going to focus
26:32
Speaker 1: on why the pull out of Afghanistan was done the
26:35
Speaker 1: way it was, and how mismanaged, how much mismanagement there
26:39
Speaker 1: was in the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and what and
26:43
Speaker 1: who was left behind. This is also going to be
26:48
Speaker 1: a prime target for the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committee.
26:52
Speaker 1: Republicans say we have to have tougher oversight while we're
26:56
Speaker 1: also investing all the things I mentioned into additional USA
27:00
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, which has basically been given to the Ukrainian government.
27:04
Speaker 1: Ukrainian government is extremely corrupt and you'd understand this. Zelenski
27:07
Speaker 1: is not some saint, and we want to know where
27:10
Speaker 1: the money is going. Now, Republicans believe that there should
27:16
Speaker 1: be accountability for our dollars. We are sending more money
27:21
Speaker 1: to Ukraine than anyone else in the world. Why why
27:26
Speaker 1: do we fill the need to do that? I don't
27:28
Speaker 1: understand it. Why are we the ones that are writing
27:31
Speaker 1: these massive checks. I don't believe that we should be
27:34
Speaker 1: writing these massive checks. I don't believe that's our job. Okay,
27:40
Speaker 1: I don't believe that's something that we should be doing
27:42
Speaker 1: and writing these checks while we're getting zero accountability. And
27:48
Speaker 1: if we are sending a lot of goods and military
27:51
Speaker 1: aid and military equipment, is it going to fall into
27:55
Speaker 1: the hands of people in the Middle East? How much
27:58
Speaker 1: of this is just being basically funneled to others who
28:01
Speaker 1: are paying cash on the black market? Is there going
28:04
Speaker 1: to be an appropriate accounting of what we are giving them?
28:07
Speaker 1: Is some of it on loan? Are we going to
28:09
Speaker 1: get it back? Can it fall into bad actors hands?
28:14
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party seems to just want to send stuff
28:17
Speaker 1: over there to virtue signal with and start World War three.
28:20
Speaker 1: It's a problem and Republicans say they're going to have
28:24
Speaker 1: oversight into this. There's also something else. Lieutenant Colonel Daniel
28:27
Speaker 1: Davis actually came out today and warned of a nuclear war,
28:32
Speaker 1: saying that the US has no plan in Ukraine and
28:34
Speaker 1: also said this is not a video game. This again
28:40
Speaker 1: he says providing new tanks to Ukraine won't change the
28:43
Speaker 1: reality on the ground of the current conflict with Russia.
28:46
Speaker 1: This according to Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, who claimed
28:49
Speaker 1: the United States has quote no plan or strategy and
28:52
Speaker 1: warned of real world danger of invoking NATO's Mutual Defense clause,
28:57
Speaker 1: which would trigger eight nuclear war. He did an interview
29:01
Speaker 1: and discussed the situation on the ground Ukraine, and he
29:04
Speaker 1: said it is very clear now that we don't have
29:07
Speaker 1: an objective here and what they claim they're doing, it
29:11
Speaker 1: just hasn't worked that way in reality, he said. He
29:15
Speaker 1: also called the recent decision by not only the US,
29:18
Speaker 1: but Germany and other European nations has sent tanks to
29:21
Speaker 1: Ukraine Ukraine a huge information operation game changer. He cautioned
29:26
Speaker 1: that information operations and claims don't translate into reality on
29:30
Speaker 1: the battlefield. He said, from someone who has done combat
29:33
Speaker 1: operations and tank on tank fights and operations patrolling the
29:37
Speaker 1: East West border during the Cold War and its potential
29:40
Speaker 1: Soviet invasions, and was a second command of an armored
29:44
Speaker 1: cavalry squadron for the first Armored Division in the mid
29:47
Speaker 1: two thousands in Germany. Quote, I can tell you that
29:50
Speaker 1: just having NATO tanks does not equal battlefield success. He
29:54
Speaker 1: counts out on the perception many have on how effective
29:56
Speaker 1: the new tanks will prove on the battlefield, saying, the
29:59
Speaker 1: problem is that what works on video games and on paper,
30:03
Speaker 1: well you have to make it work on the ground.
30:05
Speaker 1: And there are very few people anywhere in the Western media,
30:07
Speaker 1: or anywhere in the other media for that matter, that
30:10
Speaker 1: understand how combat power is made. But hey, when your
30:15
Speaker 1: virtue staying, just send them tanks. It's costing us a
30:18
Speaker 1: lot of money. I have a lot of money. But
30:22
Speaker 1: who cares when you're a Democrat and you're virtue signaling
30:26
Speaker 1: you don't care. This is why the Republicans are having
30:30
Speaker 1: these investigations, and this is why it's so important that
30:34
Speaker 1: the investigations happen. Make sure you share this podcast with
30:39
Speaker 1: your family and friends. We're going to keep you update
30:41
Speaker 1: on all of these investigations. But I hope this overall
30:44
Speaker 1: playbook for you is valuable. I hope that it helps
30:48
Speaker 1: you understand what we're doing and how this thing can
30:51
Speaker 1: be incredibly successful if we do it the right way.
30:55
Speaker 1: I'll see you back here tomorrow.
