Victory! MITCH is GONE & Hunter Biden Testifies UNDER OATH! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Just three weeks ago, a question was asked of Senator
0:05
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz.
0:06
Speaker 2: This was the question, it is time for miss McConnell's show.
0:11
Speaker 3: I think it is. Everyone here also supported a leadership
0:14
Speaker 3: challenge to Mitch McConnell in November. I think a Republican
0:19
Speaker 3: leader should actually lead this conference and should advance the
0:22
Speaker 3: priorities of Republicans.
0:24
Speaker 1: That was a simple answer February sixth from Senator Ted Cruz.
0:29
Speaker 1: He took a lot of heat from other Rhino Republicans
0:32
Speaker 1: because he said it was.
0:34
Speaker 2: Time for Mitch to go.
0:36
Speaker 1: Fast forward from February sixth to today, just a couple
0:39
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and now the breaking news had shocked
0:43
Speaker 1: many in the political world.
0:45
Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell will step down from his post in November.
0:52
Speaker 4: And we know that he is the longest serving Senate
0:54
Speaker 4: leader in history who's maintained his power in the face
0:57
Speaker 4: of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for nearly two decades.
1:01
Speaker 4: They've had a lot of change. Well, let's not even
1:03
Speaker 4: ignore the stuff that's happened on the other side and
1:06
Speaker 4: is happening now. I'm reading to you just so you know,
1:09
Speaker 4: from the Associated Press. So it is written with some
1:13
Speaker 4: interesting color. McConnell just turned eighty two last week and
1:17
Speaker 4: was set to announce his decision today, and well of
1:21
Speaker 4: the Senate, a place where he looked in awe from
1:24
Speaker 4: its back benches in nineteen eighty five when he arrived,
1:28
Speaker 4: and where he grew increasingly comfortable in front row seat
1:31
Speaker 4: afforded by party leaders. Again, Mitch McConnell is stepping down,
1:36
Speaker 4: and he'll leave his job as the leader of Republicans
1:39
Speaker 4: and the Senate in November.
1:42
Speaker 2: Now, the question is why wait till November?
1:44
Speaker 1: He obviously claims he wants to see through the Republican leadership,
1:48
Speaker 1: pick winners and losers in this election one last time,
1:52
Speaker 1: and screw hardcore conservatives who desperately need funds. A great
1:56
Speaker 1: example of that would be Senator Ted Cruz. Mitch McConnell
1:59
Speaker 1: controls a significant portion of the Republican Party's money in
2:04
Speaker 1: the Senate leadership funds that the Republicans have, and how
2:08
Speaker 1: much money they give him last time, I'm pretty sure
2:10
Speaker 1: it was zero dollars when he was running for a
2:13
Speaker 1: reelection against Beto. So obviously Mitch McConnell wants to keep
2:17
Speaker 1: that power until at least the end of the November
2:20
Speaker 1: election cycle for the presidency and for the Senate and
2:25
Speaker 1: the House. Now, I want you to hear in just
2:27
Speaker 1: a moment what Mitch McConnell actually said from the for
2:30
Speaker 1: the Senate as he came out telling why you was
2:33
Speaker 1: stepping down. Obviously, the news broke before he even said this,
2:36
Speaker 1: but I want you to hear his logic. Before I
2:38
Speaker 1: get to that, though, I got to tell you about
2:40
Speaker 1: our friends over at Ammo squared.
2:43
Speaker 2: If you are like me and you love to hunt.

2:51
Speaker 1: they help you stay stocked up on ammunition automatically. We
2:55
Speaker 1: saw massive influxes on Ammo prices before COVID and then
2:59
Speaker 1: during I remember buying nine milimeter for seven dollars of box.
3:03
Speaker 1: It jumped all the way up to thirty six fifty. Well,
3:07
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that happening again if
3:09
Speaker 1: you're with Ammo squared. Ammo is delivered on demand automatically

Speaker 1: as a few dollars a month and let it grow

Speaker 1: over time, or buy a bunch of it all at

Speaker 1: once so you have it when you need it. It's
3:27
Speaker 1: truly automated. Set it and forget it. Ammo purchasing at
3:30
Speaker 1: amazing pricing, pick your caliber, set your budget, select a
3:34
Speaker 1: shipping trigger, and that's it. Ammo builds up over time,
3:38
Speaker 1: and it's delivered automatically when you say.
3:40
Speaker 2: I want it now.

Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, when the store shelves went empty and
3:44
Speaker 1: everyone had trouble finding Ammo locally or online, Ammo Squared
3:48
Speaker 1: customers just need to ship their Ammos stored at Ammo squared,
3:51
Speaker 1: and they got it automatically delivered with just the click
3:54

3:57

Speaker 1: with just a few clicks.

Speaker 2: So you can.
4:07
Speaker 1: Maybe you sell a gun you go, oh, I don't
4:08
Speaker 1: need that much of that Ammo.

Speaker 2: Anymore, No problem, you can just trade it.
4:12
Speaker 1: You can also close your account sell it all back

4:17

4:41
Speaker 1: Take a listen to Mitch McConnell announcing he was stepping
4:45
Speaker 1: down as a Senate Majority leader from the Senate floor.
4:48
Speaker 2: Listen carefully, been.
4:49
Speaker 5: Thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate.
4:55
Speaker 5: I always imagined a moment when I have total clarity
5:01
Speaker 5: and peace about the sunset of my work, A moment
5:07
Speaker 5: when I'm certain I have helped preserve the ideals I
5:13
Speaker 5: so strongly wi leave. That day arrived today.
5:21
Speaker 2: My goals when.
5:22
Speaker 5: I was narrowly elected to the Senate in nineteen eighty
5:25
Speaker 5: four were fairly modeled. Do good job with the people
5:29
Speaker 5: of Kentucky and convince them that by doing so, they
5:33
Speaker 5: might rehire me for a second term.
5:36
Speaker 2: That was it. That was the plan.
5:41
Speaker 5: If you would have told me forty years later that
5:44
Speaker 5: I would stand before you as the longest serving Senate
5:47
Speaker 5: leader in American history. Frankly, I would have thought you'd
5:52
Speaker 5: lost your mind. I have the honor of representing Kentucky
5:57
Speaker 5: and the Senate longer than anyone else in our state history.
6:02
Speaker 5: I just never could have imagined, never could have imagined
6:06
Speaker 5: that happening when I arrived here in nineteen eighty four,
6:11
Speaker 5: at forty two. I'm filled with heartfelt gratitude and humility
6:19
Speaker 5: for the opportunity. But now it's twenty twenty four, I'm
6:26
Speaker 5: now eighty two. As Ecclesiastics Astis helps us to everything,
6:34
Speaker 5: there is a season and a time to every purpose
6:38
Speaker 5: under Heaven. To serve Kentucky and the Senate has been
6:43
Speaker 5: the honor of my life. To lead my Republican colleagues
6:48
Speaker 5: has been the highest privilege.
6:53
Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell announcing it is time for the next
6:57
Speaker 1: generation of leadership, saying it's time to set down, as
7:00
Speaker 1: he's eighty one years old, resigning as a Senate JP
7:03
Speaker 1: leader officially in November after the November election cycle.
7:08
Speaker 2: So long, Mitch McConnell.
7:09
Speaker 1: Now I will say this, I think this is a big, big, big, big.
7:14
Speaker 2: Victory for conservatives.
7:17
Speaker 1: I think this is a huge opportunity for us to
7:19
Speaker 1: get a real leader of the House and a real
7:23
Speaker 1: leader of the Senate that can work together, that are
7:25
Speaker 1: both on the same wavelength. You look at Mitch McConnell,
7:29
Speaker 1: he's a moderate. You look at Johnson, a hardcore conservat
7:33
Speaker 1: in the House. Imagine if you had two individuals side
7:35
Speaker 1: by side that we're willing to work together, that believe
7:38
Speaker 1: the same things, had the same ideology. That is exactly
7:42
Speaker 1: what I believe we should be doing here. That's exactly
7:46
Speaker 1: what I think we should be advocating for. And there
7:48
Speaker 1: needs to be, as I would describe it, a vigorous fight,
7:53
Speaker 1: a vigorous debate over who should be the next the
8:00
Speaker 1: next leader of the Republican Party.
8:01
Speaker 2: In the Senate.
8:02
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that is the Senate majority leader after the
8:05
Speaker 1: November elections. Let me also say this, we better start
8:09
Speaker 1: fighting now and not wait till after November to have
8:12
Speaker 1: an opinion. We need to start advocating for who we
8:15
Speaker 1: want it to be. Who we want the person to
8:18
Speaker 1: be that leads in the Senate. It should be a
8:20
Speaker 1: hardcore conservative. It should not be a get along moderate.
8:24
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be a rhino, and it sure as hell
8:26
Speaker 1: shouldn't be somebody that looks like Mitch McConnell.
8:28
Speaker 2: Again.
8:29
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell was a disaster for the conservative real conservative movement.
8:34
Speaker 1: He was not a huge ally of the MAGA movement either.
8:38
Speaker 1: He was not a big ally of Donald Trump when
8:40
Speaker 1: he was president for four years either. So we need
8:43
Speaker 1: to make sure that we have someone moving forward that
8:47
Speaker 1: we look at and go, yes, that is somebody I
8:50
Speaker 1: can get behind, That is someone I can support. That
8:54
Speaker 1: is someone who is going to advocate for what we
8:56
Speaker 1: believe in. And that matters, especially when it comes, as
8:59
Speaker 1: I said a moment ago, on the House side, I
9:02
Speaker 1: cannot tell you how important it is that the Senate
9:05
Speaker 1: Majority leader, I believe will have the majority in November,
9:08
Speaker 1: that's say, Senate majority leader. I cannot tell you how
9:11
Speaker 1: important is it that individual. Okay, that that person it
9:15
Speaker 1: has the same ideals as those on the House side.
9:20
Speaker 1: It is massively important that we have that on the
9:25
Speaker 1: House side. It's not just by the way, the Mitch
9:28
Speaker 1: McConnell's story of him deciding to step down, that's the
9:31
Speaker 1: big news on Capitol Hill today.
9:33
Speaker 2: The biggest news of the day.
9:34
Speaker 1: Actually is the fact that Hunter Biden is on Capitol Hill,
9:39
Speaker 1: and this comes with the Biden impeachment inquiry. This is
9:43
Speaker 1: one reason, by the way, I'm really mad at Mitch McConnell.
9:46
Speaker 1: If you're not stepping down till November. Why did you
9:49
Speaker 1: give the media a chance to cover you instead of
9:52
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden being on Capitol Hill? Which really makes me mad.
9:58
Speaker 1: But first, let me tell you about my friends at
10:00
Speaker 1: Freedom Gold. How would you like to protect your hard
10:02
Speaker 1: earned dollars and get up to ten thousand dollars in
10:07
Speaker 1: free silver while doing exactly that. That's right, my friends
10:11
Speaker 1: at Freedom Gold. They can help you protect your assets,
10:14
Speaker 1: and that's why I use them. Inflation is heavily eroding
10:17
Speaker 1: your purchasing power, putting your savings, your retirement accounts, and
10:21
Speaker 1: your future legacy at risk. With more taxes, the continuous
10:25
Speaker 1: threat of major conflict and war around the world, and
10:28
Speaker 1: a national debt now exceeding thirty four trillion, companies and
10:32
Speaker 1: private individuals and different governments around the world are now
10:36
Speaker 1: turning to gold yes to protect their assets. If you
10:41
Speaker 1: have fifty thousand dollars or more in retirement savings, you
10:44
Speaker 1: may be at risk in times of economic uncertainty. That's
10:47
Speaker 1: when people rush to gold and silver to protect their
10:51
Speaker 1: hard earned dollars. And that's why I want you to
10:53
Speaker 1: know about Freedom Gold. You can call them right now,

11:46
Speaker 1: to Mitch for a second, Like you really got to
11:48
Speaker 1: wonder how out of out of touch he is or
11:51
Speaker 1: was this done deliberately on purpose. He's got a massive
11:54
Speaker 1: staff around him, He's the Senate Minority leader. He's got
11:58
Speaker 1: the a team around him. And it infuriates me that
12:03
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is allowing for his retirement to overshadow the
12:10
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry.
12:14
Speaker 2: Is Hunter Biden is on Capitol Hill.
12:17
Speaker 1: This is a stupid day for Mitch McConnell to resign
12:21
Speaker 1: a guy that's been there for decades. Okay, you're telling
12:25
Speaker 1: me that he couldn't have waited till, like, I don't know,
12:27
Speaker 1: tomorrow or the next day or the next day to
12:29
Speaker 1: tell everybody's going to resign, or even next week.
12:31
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not happening till November.
12:33
Speaker 1: Why do it on the same day that Hunter Biden
12:35
Speaker 1: is on Capitol Hill?
12:37
Speaker 2: It's like, whose team are you on?
12:39
Speaker 6: Now?
12:40
Speaker 1: Remember him testifying on Capitol Hill. I don't really care
12:43
Speaker 1: about it being Hunter Biden. What I do care about
12:46
Speaker 1: is the fact that he's there testifying, and this all
12:50
Speaker 1: deals with the president and the corruption of the President
12:54
Speaker 1: of the United States of America, Joe Biden. I want
12:57
Speaker 1: you to hear what Jim Jordan had to say and
13:01
Speaker 1: accusing the Biden family have intentionally.
13:03
Speaker 2: Breaking laws in this country.
13:05
Speaker 1: As he was explaining what they want to get out
13:07
Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden behind closed doors in this deposition.
13:11
Speaker 2: Listen to him from Fox and Friends.
13:13
Speaker 7: Let's bring in Jim Jordan. How should you hear a
13:15
Speaker 7: committee chair? He'll be questioning Hunter Biden today, and I
13:18
Speaker 7: know you've been waiting for this moment. What do you
13:21
Speaker 7: expect and what is going to be your approach with
13:24
Speaker 7: Hunter today?
13:25
Speaker 8: Well, we'll probe this Chinese energy company. I mean, there's
13:28
Speaker 8: a pattern with the Biden family. Hunter Biden goes out
13:31
Speaker 8: and tries to get business, but the agreements and the
13:34
Speaker 8: deals never get done until Joe Biden shows up, either
13:37
Speaker 8: on a.
13:37
Speaker 2: Phone call, stopping buy a lunch, dropping.
13:39
Speaker 8: By a dinner. That's when these things happen. And this
13:42
Speaker 8: Chinese energy company is a great example. He'd been working
13:44
Speaker 8: on this deal for months, but it wasn't until they're
13:47
Speaker 8: having a lunch at the Four Seasons restaurant, eight Chinese
13:50
Speaker 8: officials there with Hunter Biden and his business partners, that
13:53
Speaker 8: Joe Biden stops in and then three weeks later sayzam,
13:56
Speaker 8: here comes three million dollars wired to Hunter Biden. So
13:59
Speaker 8: that's the path turned throughout. So we'll explore that kind
14:02
Speaker 8: of broad issue. And then Franklin wont asking some specific questions,
14:05
Speaker 8: like on December fourth, twenty fifteen, you call d C.
14:09
Speaker 2: Devin Archer testified.
14:11
Speaker 8: You're with the CEO and of Barisma, this Ukraine and
14:15
Speaker 8: energy company.
14:16
Speaker 2: They're under pressure.
14:17
Speaker 8: They ask you to help them, and you call DC.
14:20
Speaker 2: In one part of.
14:20
Speaker 8: The Devon Archer's testimony, he says, you called your dad.
14:23
Speaker 8: Who did you call and what did you talk about?
14:26
Speaker 8: Because we know three days later, Joe Biden goes to
14:28
Speaker 8: Ukraine and fires the prosecutor who's applying the pressure to
14:31
Speaker 8: the very company that Hunter Biden was on the board of.
14:34
Speaker 7: He's going to say, I'm an addict. He's going to
14:36
Speaker 7: say my dad never knew about it, and he's going
14:39
Speaker 7: to say where is the money? That's the other thing
14:41
Speaker 7: he's the President of the United States has said in
14:44
Speaker 7: the past. We'll see he's also going to say, hey,
14:46
Speaker 7: by the way, I'm an under indictment.
14:47
Speaker 2: I can really kind of answer that question.
14:49
Speaker 7: And I guarantee you that Jamie Rasking, no matter what happens,
14:51
Speaker 7: will come out and say nothing happened.
14:53
Speaker 2: The Republicans have nothing.
14:56
Speaker 1: Not only is Jim Jordan making it clear that we've
14:59
Speaker 1: been waiting for this because we're going to get clarification
15:02
Speaker 1: on just how corrupt and how many laws may have
15:06
Speaker 1: been broken in confirmation of certain things and certain payments
15:11
Speaker 1: that were made that would have broken laws.
15:13
Speaker 2: But he's also saying.
15:15
Speaker 1: That this is a time for the Bidens to basically
15:18
Speaker 1: see how are they going to defend themselves specifically moving forward?
15:24
Speaker 2: Now.
15:24
Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley also went on Fox and was talking about
15:28
Speaker 1: this from the Democrats perspective, like, what's the fallout going
15:31
Speaker 1: to be? Is there going to be fallout? Does the
15:34
Speaker 1: American voter actually care? And I want you to hear
15:38
Speaker 1: what he had to say about it on Fox as well.
15:40
Speaker 9: Freaking Jonathan Turley, constitutional law attorney and a Fox News contributor.
15:44
Speaker 9: So here's what Hunter Biden said in his opening statement.
15:48
Speaker 2: I did not involve my father in.
15:49
Speaker 9: My business, not while I was a practicing lawyer, Not
15:52
Speaker 9: in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as
15:56
Speaker 9: a board member, and not as an artist.
15:59
Speaker 2: Never.
16:00
Speaker 9: That's pretty much word for word what Jim Biden said
16:02
Speaker 9: when he was testifying last week. Any reason to believe
16:07
Speaker 9: either one of them.
16:09
Speaker 10: Well, you'll notice he does not say that my father
16:11
Speaker 10: did not know about my business activities as he was
16:15
Speaker 10: flying on Air Force two. For example, he has previously
16:18
Speaker 10: contradicted his father, who maintained throughout the campaign that he
16:23
Speaker 10: had no knowledge of his son's business dealings. Most of
16:26
Speaker 10: us believe that is now patently false. But you'll notice
16:30
Speaker 10: the nuanced language in all of this. I think that
16:33
Speaker 10: the Democrats did a disservice to themselves by coming out
16:36
Speaker 10: too quickly. You know, they came out in about an
16:40
Speaker 10: hour after the deposition had started after Hunter Biden read
16:44
Speaker 10: that statement, so he had barely cleared his throat when
16:47
Speaker 10: they came out and said, okay, well there's nothing here,
16:50
Speaker 10: and it left a lot of us sort of chuckling.
16:52
Speaker 10: It made it seem like he could pull out the
16:55
Speaker 10: severed head of Victor Choken and they would still say, well,
16:58
Speaker 10: thank you for being so for coming. I think we
17:00
Speaker 10: can move along now. I mean, it was just a
17:03
Speaker 10: bizarre and I think a really badly timed effort. So
17:07
Speaker 10: we have to see how he answers some of these
17:09
Speaker 10: very specific questions.
17:12
Speaker 11: Really interesting and as far as what we are hearing
17:16
Speaker 11: from Hunter himself, this is Hunter's statement on his dad's involvement.
17:23
Speaker 11: Obviously at the center of all of this. I did
17:26
Speaker 11: not involve my father in my business, not while I
17:28
Speaker 11: was practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic
17:32
Speaker 11: war international, not as a board member, and not as
17:35
Speaker 11: an artist.
17:36
Speaker 2: Never.
17:37
Speaker 11: You know, talking to Kerry Kopeck this morning, and you
17:39
Speaker 11: as well, Jonathan, we keep going back to the very
17:42
Speaker 11: central question that is, well, what was he doing in
17:45
Speaker 11: exchange for these massive amounts of money? What services was
17:49
Speaker 11: he offering?
17:51
Speaker 10: Well, remember, this is the person who sent the wetsapp
17:54
Speaker 10: message that my father's sitting next to me and effectively
17:58
Speaker 10: saying he's not going to be happy unless you said
18:00
Speaker 10: me a huge amount of money. Now, that seems a
18:03
Speaker 10: rather direct effort at using your father's name to elicit
18:07
Speaker 10: money from foreign sources. And in addition to that, there
18:12
Speaker 10: are plenty of emails where Joe Biden is referenced where
18:16
Speaker 10: these same figures that are giving money to the Bidens
18:18
Speaker 10: and the Biden families thanked him for arranging meetings with
18:22
Speaker 10: his father. And I think the Democrats would be in
18:25
Speaker 10: a better position if they acknowledged the obvious, which is
18:29
Speaker 10: this was an influence pedaling operation. I mean hunter Biden
18:33
Speaker 10: himself says that he was in the throes of addiction. Well,
18:36
Speaker 10: then Why were people giving you millions of dollars in
18:38
Speaker 10: areas that you know nothing about? And the obvious answer
18:43
Speaker 10: is that he was influence peddling. The Bidens have been
18:46
Speaker 10: alleged to be influenced peddlers for a long time. I've
18:48
Speaker 10: been writing about this family for about ten years, so
18:51
Speaker 10: there's no surprise there. Now you can contest whether there's
18:54
Speaker 10: impeachable evidence here, but I want to emphasize something else.
18:58
Speaker 2: The fact that Joe.
18:59
Speaker 10: Biden did not get direct payments is not a defense
19:03
Speaker 10: to the classic type of case of bribery or some
19:06
Speaker 10: of these corruption crimes. The courts have repeatedly said that
19:09
Speaker 10: money going to family members is viewed as a benefit
19:12
Speaker 10: to the principle in actual criminal cases, So that whole
19:16
Speaker 10: defense is a bit nonsensical if you're talking about corruption.
19:21
Speaker 9: Sir Jonathan, you mentioned this that what's that message? I
19:23
Speaker 9: think it bears repeating so that everybody can remember exactly
19:26
Speaker 9: what it was that Hunter said here. He said, I'm
19:29
Speaker 9: sitting here with my father and we would like to
19:31
Speaker 9: understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell
19:35
Speaker 9: the director and this is of CEFC that I would
19:38
Speaker 9: like to resolve this now before it gets out of
19:41
Speaker 9: hand and now means tonight and Z if I get
19:44
Speaker 9: a call or text from anyone involved in this other
19:46
Speaker 9: than you, Xang or the chairman, I will make certain
19:50
Speaker 9: that between the man sitting next to me and every
19:52
Speaker 9: person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a grudge,
19:56
Speaker 9: that you will regret not following my direction here waiting for.
20:01
Speaker 2: The call with my father.
20:05
Speaker 9: He since tried to say that all that was taken
20:07
Speaker 9: out of context, but lord knows how you do that.
20:11
Speaker 10: Yeah, I can't imagine the context you would put that in.
20:14
Speaker 10: I mean you you juxtapose that with what I represented.
20:18
Speaker 10: Raskin just said that, you know, he would just bring
20:21
Speaker 10: it bring his dad to dinner on occasions, and this
20:24
Speaker 10: was just mom or dad calling in to say howdy.
20:28
Speaker 2: That message.
20:28
Speaker 10: Doesn't it quite exactly sound like a father being used
20:34
Speaker 10: just to have a friendly hello. And the question is
20:37
Speaker 10: if he put it in writing in this message, how
20:39
Speaker 10: many times was this message conveyed verbally? That's usually what
20:43
Speaker 10: happens in Washington. You have to be it's moronic to
20:46
Speaker 10: put that in writing, even in social media.
20:51
Speaker 2: Forum.
20:52
Speaker 10: So there's a great deal of glaring evidence, and this
20:55
Speaker 10: is one of the reasons why. I think the Democrats
20:57
Speaker 10: doth protest too much when they say, let's stop all
21:01
Speaker 10: this questioning. There's nothing here to see. There's obviously corruption here.
21:06
Speaker 10: That's what influence pedaling is. It's a form of corruption.
21:09
Speaker 10: And the question for the public is did President Biden
21:14
Speaker 10: know about that corruption? Did he know his brother and
21:18
Speaker 10: his son were influence peddling. I think the evidence is
21:22
Speaker 10: considerable that he did know, including from articles that were
21:25
Speaker 10: appearing during that time.
21:28
Speaker 1: You can say it as much as you want to
21:30
Speaker 1: that there's nothing there.
21:31
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to keep saying it. It doesn't mean
21:34
Speaker 2: that it's true.
21:35
Speaker 1: And what we're seeing right now is a major major
21:41
Speaker 1: advancement of the corruption against the president United States of America.
21:44
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, I don't care about Hunter Biden.
21:47
Speaker 1: What I do care about is President of the United
21:50
Speaker 1: States of America. Joe Biden's selling access to our adversaries
21:54
Speaker 1: and him getting rich off of it, period, full stop.
22:01
Speaker 3: Now.
22:01
Speaker 1: Democrats, by the way, they're doing everything they can right
22:05
Speaker 1: now to make sure that you just see Hunter Biden
22:09
Speaker 1: as a drug addict who did some stupid stuff. They're
22:12
Speaker 1: admitting now by the way, that he did stupid things.
22:14
Speaker 1: In fact, they're admitting slash implying now that he has
22:19
Speaker 1: probably committed crimes. And while saying this, they're saying, but
22:23
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do whatsoever with the President of
22:27
Speaker 1: United States of America, who has lied to you over
22:29
Speaker 1: and over and over again about this. NBC News and
22:32
Speaker 1: MSNBC doing what they do best, protecting the President of
22:36
Speaker 1: the United States of America at all costs. They had
22:38
Speaker 1: Representative Moscowitz on to talk about Hunter Biden and he
22:42
Speaker 1: even said, Hey, Hunter Biden has done some things, but
22:45
Speaker 1: don't worry, it's nothing to do with President Joe Biden.
22:48
Speaker 12: Listen, let's get to Washington because less than an hour
22:52
Speaker 12: from now, Hunter Biden will appear before the House Committee's
22:55
Speaker 12: investigating his father, the President of the United States, as
22:58
Speaker 12: part of their impeachment inquiry. The tho door interview comes
23:01
Speaker 12: after House Republicans had threatened to hold him in contempt.
23:04
Speaker 2: Republicans are in search of.
23:05
Speaker 12: Direct evidence so far that has eluded them that the
23:08
Speaker 12: President was involved in Hunter's foreign business dealings. Joining us
23:12
Speaker 12: now Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Jared
23:16
Speaker 12: Moskowitz of Florida. He will be in the room during
23:20
Speaker 12: the Deposition congresson Thanks for being here. What do you
23:22
Speaker 12: expect to see inside that room about an hour from now.
23:26
Speaker 6: Well, look, I'm sure there'll be about twenty members in
23:30
Speaker 6: the room, obviously, a Council for Democratic Oversight, Council for
23:34
Speaker 6: Republican Oversight, and then Hunter Biden will be there with
23:38
Speaker 6: his own counsel. So we're finally here now at the
23:40
Speaker 6: moment Republicans have been trying to get to after they
23:43
Speaker 6: invited him to a public committee hearing and then took
23:47
Speaker 6: away that invitation. Now we're finally at the deposition phase.
23:51
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, this impeachment of Joe Biden, the impeachment
23:54
Speaker 6: inquiry of Joe Biden, is literally on life support. Every
23:58
Speaker 6: one of their informants has proven to be a liar.
24:01
Speaker 6: Two of them have been indicted, one of them for
24:04
Speaker 6: trying to sell being a Chinese foreign agent and selling
24:08
Speaker 6: Irenian oil, the other actually being a stooge for Russian
24:11
Speaker 6: intelligence and duping my colleagues across the aisle.
24:16
Speaker 2: By the way, I have to stop there and just
24:18
Speaker 2: laugh at this guy.
24:20
Speaker 1: This is the same guy that did the impeachment of
24:22
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This is the same guy that told you
24:25
Speaker 1: that Russian collusion was real. This is the same guy
24:28
Speaker 1: that knew that Hillary Clinton paid for the Steele dssier
24:30
Speaker 1: and the Democrat National Committee paid for the Steel dossier.
24:35
Speaker 1: This is the same guy that told you that Donald
24:37
Speaker 1: Trump should be in prison, not just impeached, but in prison,
24:42
Speaker 1: and that he was being controlled by Russia. And now
24:47
Speaker 1: he says, every single person that's given information about Joe Biden,
24:52
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, James Biden, the Biden crime family's a liar.
24:55
Speaker 1: I guess that would include the banks, That would include
24:58
Speaker 1: the suspicious activity reports, that would include the FBI whistleblowers,
25:03
Speaker 1: that would include the irs whistleblowers, That would include every
25:07
Speaker 1: single person, as he described it, they're all liars.
25:10
Speaker 5: Right.
25:11
Speaker 1: He brings up two circumstances where he talks about these
25:14
Speaker 1: people that he says are liars, and then says, see
25:18
Speaker 1: everyone else lie too. Now one of the people, by
25:22
Speaker 1: the way he's talking about, is someone that the FBI
25:24
Speaker 1: could have charged years ago if he lied the way
25:26
Speaker 1: they're claiming. But now it seems like they're getting too
25:29
Speaker 1: close to Donald, to Joe Biden, and getting too close
25:32
Speaker 1: to this being a real problem for the president. So
25:34
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden to undermine and this credit
25:37
Speaker 1: this FBI informant. They're like, all right, we're gonna indict
25:39
Speaker 1: him for line. They could have done this several years ago.
25:42
Speaker 1: Why did they not do it several years ago? I
25:44
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear the only reason why they didn't
25:47
Speaker 1: do it years ago is because it didn't care then.
25:50
Speaker 1: But they needed to undermine him now. And this is
25:53
Speaker 1: how you do it, right, This is how you undermine.
25:56
Speaker 1: This is how you pull that off. This is how
25:59
Speaker 1: you make it all. This guy is sitting there and
26:03
Speaker 1: he has nothing more than a pathological liar.
26:07
Speaker 2: He knows he's lying.
26:08
Speaker 1: He's lying about the brave men and women that have
26:10
Speaker 1: come forward and told the truth. He's lying about the
26:13
Speaker 1: brave men and women that have come forward and have
26:18
Speaker 1: said very clearly, very clearly, that they witnessed.
26:23
Speaker 2: The president of United States America doing.
26:25
Speaker 1: Business with the worst few of the world and the
26:26
Speaker 1: money trail backs that up. These are the same people
26:30
Speaker 1: that have come forward that have said that they did
26:33
Speaker 1: business with the for years, and we know they did
26:37
Speaker 1: business for years with the Biden crime family.
26:40
Speaker 2: He's saying, they're all liar.
26:41
Speaker 1: Now, imagine if you're telling if you were in business
26:44
Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden, James Biden, Joe Biden, you are doing
26:47
Speaker 1: these deals, and this is how they're trashing you in public.
26:50
Speaker 2: Now, you think that's.
26:51
Speaker 1: Going to encourage you to maybe be a little bit
26:53
Speaker 1: more blunt and a little bit more open about what
26:56
Speaker 1: you saw.
26:57
Speaker 2: I think this is a very stupid strategy.
26:59
Speaker 1: But you got to understand they're believing that the media
27:01
Speaker 1: is going to cover for them.
27:04
Speaker 2: That's what they believe here.
27:06
Speaker 1: They're believing that this is somehow going to work out
27:10
Speaker 1: to their advantage and that everybody is just going to
27:13
Speaker 1: cover for them one more time.
27:15
Speaker 2: And why wouldn't they believe this?
27:16
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party has been covered for by the media
27:20
Speaker 1: for decades now, but certainly have been protecting the Bidens
27:24
Speaker 1: since the Hunter laptop came out and they said, all right,
27:26
Speaker 1: how do we get rid of the story.
27:27
Speaker 2: We'll all just refuse to report on it and.
27:29
Speaker 1: Say that it is Russian disinformation, will lie to the
27:33
Speaker 1: American people. We know it's real, we know it's authentic,
27:36
Speaker 1: we know it's important to talk about. We'll just straight
27:39
Speaker 1: up lie about it. And that's what they've done since
27:41
Speaker 1: the very beginning. Again, listen to this representative. He is
27:47
Speaker 1: nothing but a communist propagandist on MSNBC, and they're letting
27:51
Speaker 1: him spew all of these lies.
27:53
Speaker 6: With that ten twenty three form nonsense. So look, you know,
27:56
Speaker 6: we'll see what happens after today. I expect my colleagues
27:58
Speaker 6: to go to the microphone and say, you know, today
28:01
Speaker 6: is the smoking gun, which they've been saying for a
28:04
Speaker 6: year every time they sit down and have a deposition.
28:06
Speaker 6: But my hope is that this is the conclusion of
28:11
Speaker 6: the Joe Biden impeachment Inqury, because there is no evidence whatsoever.
28:16
Speaker 6: Hunter Biden has done some things incorrect with the tax
28:19
Speaker 6: issue and with the gun issue. He's going to have
28:21
Speaker 6: to deal with that, but that has nothing to do
28:23
Speaker 6: with Joe Biden as the President of.
28:25
Speaker 2: The United States.
28:26
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that MSNBC didn't push back there at all.
28:30
Speaker 1: There's no evidence they could have immediately cut pushed back
28:33
Speaker 1: and said, well, hold on a second. The President said
28:35
Speaker 1: he had nothing to do with his son, and we
28:36
Speaker 1: now we know they did have something to do with
28:37
Speaker 1: his son's business dealings. The President said he never met
28:41
Speaker 1: with him of his business associates. We now have actual
28:42
Speaker 1: pictures and flight logs proving that's not true, and emails
28:47
Speaker 1: and WhatsApp messages and phone calls and voicemails that we
28:50
Speaker 1: could play for you, Congressman that prove that what you
28:52
Speaker 1: just said is a lie.
28:54
Speaker 2: But they didn't push back at all.
28:56
Speaker 1: And the reason why it's pretty simple because they're nothing
29:00
Speaker 1: but communists, media, Marxist and socialists taking their marching orders
29:05
Speaker 1: from this regime, this Biden regime, which will cover all
29:08
Speaker 1: of this up. And no matter what you look at
29:13
Speaker 1: the data, you look at the facts, this guy is
29:16
Speaker 1: a scumbag.
29:17
Speaker 2: He is a liar.
29:18
Speaker 1: He is a guy that tried to overthrow the will
29:20
Speaker 1: of the people in twenty sixteen when Donald Trump won.
29:26
Speaker 1: The Biden crime family has been lying to you time
29:29
Speaker 1: and time again. Hunter Biden testify he joined the Barisma board,
29:34
Speaker 1: he says, now to counter Russian aggression.
29:37
Speaker 2: That is his new argument.
29:39
Speaker 1: Apparently behind closed doors, we're now being told by Representative
29:42
Speaker 1: Matt Gates, he said to reporters after leaving the deposition quote.
29:45
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden testified that he joined the board of Barisma
29:48
Speaker 1: Holdings to counter Russian aggression. That is the most absurd
29:52
Speaker 1: thing ever. But again the media will report this. Oh
29:55
Speaker 1: he was somehow I do Gooder. Hunter stated purpose for
29:58
Speaker 1: joining Brisol's board is a new claim that indicates a
30:00
Speaker 1: bizarre and unofficial foreign policy never before revealed to the
30:04
Speaker 1: American people. He's been responsive to questions, Gates said. Hunter
30:09
Speaker 1: Biden told us that he joined the Brisma board to
30:11
Speaker 1: counter Russian aggression.
30:13
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that one before that. Thank goodness.
30:15
Speaker 1: We had Hunter Biden on the Barisma board because that
30:18
Speaker 1: was central to his strategy to stand up to Vladimir Putin.
30:21
Speaker 1: Matt Gates said, jokingly, Here's what he said, is he
30:24
Speaker 1: left the deposition room.
30:27
Speaker 13: I ave said that there were a number of interesting moments,
30:29
Speaker 13: but perhaps none more interesting than when Hunter Biden told
30:33
Speaker 13: us that he joined the Barisma board to counter Russian aggression.
30:38
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard that one before that.
30:39
Speaker 13: Thank goodness, we had Hunter Biden on the Barisma board
30:42
Speaker 13: because that was central to his strategy to stand up
30:45
Speaker 13: to Vladimir Putin. So all, no, he's been responsive to questions.
30:50
Speaker 3: Does he told you exactly what value he brought to
30:53
Speaker 3: any of these wars, any of these companies yet?
30:55
Speaker 2: Have you guys asked him that?
30:56
Speaker 13: Yeah, We've asked those questions, and there is there is
30:58
Speaker 13: an illusory value. It is a mirage to believe that
31:02
Speaker 13: Hunter Biden was engaged in international business. This was a
31:06
Speaker 13: bribe masquerading as an international business transaction, nothing more, nothing less.
31:12
Speaker 11: You just quickly asking do you feel your petuntory is
31:15
Speaker 11: heading into correction where you actually be able to vote
31:17
Speaker 11: on the.
31:17
Speaker 8: Articles of engagements.
31:18
Speaker 13: Well, here we're asking questions about these corrupt business practices.
31:23
Speaker 13: I'm not really I'm not really framing that through the
31:25
Speaker 13: lens of next steps. I'm just trying to get the facts.
31:28
Speaker 5: I wrote that trying to port rust.
31:31
Speaker 1: I don't know.
31:35
Speaker 2: I have to say I thought it was a pretty.
31:38
Speaker 13: Strange I thought it was a pretty strange statement either.
31:43
Speaker 13: Perhaps it jumps off the page when he says it
31:46
Speaker 13: in his own words.
31:46
Speaker 10: Do you think the busy specifically when we get the
31:49
Speaker 10: president and we've seen evidence that the president was involved
31:52
Speaker 10: in those business.
31:53
Speaker 13: Stands, I believe that you can actually bribe someone by
31:56
Speaker 13: paying their family members, Like, I don't get this construct
31:59
Speaker 13: that inunless Joe Biden himself received cash that he somehow
32:03
Speaker 13: wasn't involved in the bribery operation.
32:05
Speaker 2: Joe Biden was doing the bidding of Barisma, he was
32:09
Speaker 2: doing the.
32:09
Speaker 13: Bidding of Chinese communists and his family was getting enriched
32:12
Speaker 13: as a consequence. To me, that's a pretty strong case
32:15
Speaker 13: for bribery.
32:16
Speaker 1: That's a pretty strong case for bribery. This is going
32:21
Speaker 1: to trickle out. I have a feeling more. I'm going
32:24
Speaker 1: to cover it all for you. Make sure that you
