Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: It is a big week on Capitol Hill when it
- 0:03Speaker 1: deals with the Biden crime family, Hunter Biden and Biden associates,
- 0:08Speaker 1: and I want to walk you through what you can
- 0:10Speaker 1: expect to happen this week. Nearly two dozen we now
- 0:15Speaker 1: know for fact, current and former officials serving in the
- 0:19Speaker 1: White House and the Biden administration, including the President's National
- 0:24Speaker 1: Security advisor as well as the Secretary of State. We
- 0:29Speaker 1: have confirmation now have extensive ties to Hunter Biden and
- 0:33Speaker 1: his business associates. That's right, Hunter Biden, who is accused
- 0:37Speaker 1: by Republicans of clearly selling access to the Biden family,
- 0:42Speaker 1: specifically to his father, dating back more than a decade.
- 0:46Speaker 1: A Fox News analysis revealed the extent of Hunter's potential
- 0:51Speaker 1: reach in the White House, as the embattled first son
- 0:55Speaker 1: faces federal tax charges now in California, as well as
- 0:59Speaker 1: Congression investigation into his alleged influence pedaling and foreign business deals.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Hunter pled not guilty during his initial court appearance this
- 1:09Speaker 1: month after being charged with nine tax crime stemming from
- 1:12Speaker 1: an investigation by the Department of Justice Special Counsel David Whites.
- 1:17Speaker 1: A day earlier, he made a shocking appearance at that
- 1:19Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee meeting where members were considering where to
- 1:22Speaker 1: hold him in contempt for defying a subpoena as part
- 1:25Speaker 1: of the impeachment inquiry into his father, President Biden, which
- 1:29Speaker 1: brings me to the new part of the story. James
- 1:32Speaker 1: Comer has now come out and answered a lot of
- 1:34Speaker 1: questions about what's going to happen this week, and I
- 1:38Speaker 1: want you to hear about all the associates that they're
- 1:40Speaker 1: now going to be talking to and these depositions, including
- 1:43Speaker 1: hearing from Hunter Biden.
- 1:45Speaker 3: When will that happen? How will it happen?
- 1:48Speaker 1: Take a listen to his back and forth on Handy's
- 1:50Speaker 1: TV show on Fox.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Was a new subpoena issued or did they just agree
- 1:56Speaker 4: to comply with the old one.
- 1:58Speaker 2: We issued a.
- 1:59Speaker 5: New subpoena because we wanted to make sure everything was
- 2:01Speaker 5: done right. The old subpoena had an old date, so
- 2:04Speaker 5: we make sure every oys dotted and teas cross. And
- 2:06Speaker 5: because we've done this investigation the right way, we're getting
- 2:09Speaker 5: everything we wanted. We wanted Hunter Biden to come in
- 2:11Speaker 5: and answer questions. We have a lot of questions, and
- 2:14Speaker 5: now he's going to have to come in and sit
- 2:16Speaker 5: down and answer specific questions about specific transactions, specific meetings.
- 2:22Speaker 2: He's going to have to answer to interviews that we've.
- 2:24Speaker 5: Conducted with some of his former associates, and we're going
- 2:28Speaker 5: to see what level of involvement Joe Biden had in
- 2:31Speaker 5: these Biden family schemes.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about what do you think the odds
- 2:36Speaker 4: are that he's going to want to plead the fifth
- 2:38Speaker 4: and his attorney, Abby Lowell is not going to let
- 2:40Speaker 4: him say a word.
- 2:41Speaker 3: That's a possibility.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Correct, it is a possibility.
- 2:44Speaker 5: But look, they've been saying they've been doing all these
- 2:47Speaker 5: publicity saying they wanted to get the truth out, they
- 2:50Speaker 5: wanted to speak publicly. Well, you're going to come in
- 2:54Speaker 5: for this deposition. You're going to have an opportunity to
- 2:56Speaker 5: answer questions. Hunter Biden's going to have an opportunity to
- 2:59Speaker 5: defend his good news. And if he pleads the fifth
- 3:02Speaker 5: and refuses to answer the questions, I think the American
- 3:04Speaker 5: people can assume that this family has been on the
- 3:08Speaker 5: take for a long time from our enemies around the world.
- 3:11Speaker 2: So we're going to give Hunter Biden do process.
- 3:13Speaker 5: He's going to come in, But I think at the
- 3:14Speaker 5: end of the day, this is a huge victory for
- 3:17Speaker 5: the House Oversight Committee.
- 3:18Speaker 2: This is exactly what we wanted.
- 3:20Speaker 5: And Hunter Biden learned that when you do things the
- 3:23Speaker 5: right way, that you don't get to make your own rules.
- 3:27Speaker 2: We're treating him. I like to go ahead to Sehn.
- 3:30Speaker 4: You know you're treating him like you like everybody else.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I got it all right, So it's going to be interesting.
- 3:37Speaker 4: I don't know how you explain away a phone call
- 3:41Speaker 4: just five days before his father goes to Ukraine when
- 3:45Speaker 4: he's going to do buy meeting.
- 3:47Speaker 3: With Peris executives.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Paris executives on the phone with Hunter and Joe Biden,
- 3:52Speaker 4: and that's when Joe Biden later bragged about leveraging a
- 3:55Speaker 4: billion taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor fired because that
- 3:59Speaker 4: was their big problem and they needed DC help. The
- 4:02Speaker 4: prosecutors fired, and Hunter, who admitted he had no experience
- 4:06Speaker 4: in energy, oil gas Ukraine, getting paid millions at a
- 4:10Speaker 4: time when he's addicted to drugs on top of it.
- 4:13Speaker 4: So that answer I would look forward to hearing. I'd
- 4:17Speaker 4: like an answer on that, wouldn't you.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Yeah, And he's going to be asked that question. He's
- 4:21Speaker 5: going to be asked a lot of questions about China
- 4:22Speaker 5: and Romania. What exactly did you do to receive the
- 4:25Speaker 5: millions of millions of dollars that our enemies around the
- 4:28Speaker 5: world since you what was the purpose for that money?
- 4:32Speaker 5: And if they going to you know, if they're going
- 4:33Speaker 5: to continue to play the.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Loan card, are you going to pay the money back?
- 4:37Speaker 5: When you you know, we heard from Kevin Morris today.
- 4:40Speaker 5: Hunter Biden doesn't have a job, he doesn't have any assets.
- 4:43Speaker 5: He owes Kevin Morris at least five million dollars, if
- 4:47Speaker 5: not more. We learned that today and according to what
- 4:50Speaker 5: he told the bank, he owes China over five million dollars.
- 4:53Speaker 2: The loan total with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden.
- 4:56Speaker 5: Now as I calculated, is fifteen million dollars.
- 5:00Speaker 2: We don't believe they're going to pay any of this back.
- 5:02Speaker 5: I mean, these are serious ethical issues and tax evasion
- 5:06Speaker 5: issues that the Bidens are going to have to answer to.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I was listening to Jamie Raskin. Let's
- 5:12Speaker 4: be honest. I mean, he's really just a political hack.
- 5:16Speaker 4: But the idea, well, this was just a small percentage
- 5:18Speaker 4: of his net worth five million dollars. But wasn't it
- 5:23Speaker 4: given at a very critical time leading into the twenty
- 5:27Speaker 4: twenty election. This could have been a big campaign issue
- 5:31Speaker 4: if in fact Hunter had not paid his taxes. Wasn't
- 5:36Speaker 4: that money the original money used to pay back taxes?
- 5:40Speaker 5: Yes, it was, and I think that's very important. We
- 5:43Speaker 5: had an email today courtesy of the IRIS whistle blowers
- 5:47Speaker 5: that showed that Kevin Morrison an email to the accounting
- 5:50Speaker 5: firm saying, we've got a huge political problem here. This
- 5:53Speaker 5: is in twenty twenty, during the presidential campaign Joe Biden
- 5:56Speaker 5: versus Donald Trump. We've got a huge political problem here.
- 6:00Speaker 5: And the political problem was that Hunter Biden hadn't paid
- 6:03Speaker 5: his taxes and the IRS was fixing the cardim off
- 6:06Speaker 5: and that would have been very damaging to Joe Biden's presidency.
- 6:09Speaker 5: We believe that was a campaign finance violation. We believe
- 6:12Speaker 5: that the purpose of that money was to save Joe
- 6:17Speaker 5: Biden's political career. And look, Kevin Morris just met Hunter
- 6:21Speaker 5: Biden and five weeks later he's paying his.
- 6:25Speaker 2: IRS tax bills.
- 6:26Speaker 5: That's about the time of from the time Kevin Morris
- 6:30Speaker 5: meant Hunter Biden to the time when he paid the
- 6:33Speaker 5: first installment to the IRS for what Hunter Biden Oe
- 6:37Speaker 5: that doesn't seem normal. And for Jamie r Askins to
- 6:40Speaker 5: try to explain that that's okay, I think it's a
- 6:42Speaker 5: bit of a stretch, even for Jamie ra.
- 6:44Speaker 4: Asking And I guess he was a fan of Hunter's art,
- 6:47Speaker 4: because didn't he purchased some of the art?
- 6:50Speaker 3: Did you talk about that?
- 6:51Speaker 4: Did you ever talk about the fact that Hunter, as
- 6:54Speaker 4: far as we know, doesn't have a job, any source
- 6:57Speaker 4: of income. How if you give that much money. My
- 7:02Speaker 4: understanding is you're only allowed to give somebody I believe
- 7:06Speaker 4: fifteen thousand dollars. After that it's taxable. So if it's
- 7:10Speaker 4: a loan, doesn't it have to be on paper? Is
- 7:12Speaker 4: there a paper trail? Is there interest payments that have
- 7:15Speaker 4: to be made as well? Is there a payment schedule?
- 7:18Speaker 4: Repayment schedule?
- 7:20Speaker 5: He said he had all that, but because he was
- 7:21Speaker 5: also Hunter's attorney, he couldn't disclose that. So here's a
- 7:26Speaker 5: guy saying he's his attorney and he's loaning him all
- 7:29Speaker 5: this money. And in California, I don't believe you're allowed
- 7:32Speaker 5: as an attorney to loan your client money. Lots of
- 7:34Speaker 5: ethical questions here, lots of taxivating questions.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Kevin Morris said, for congressional interview. I played that for
- 7:42Speaker 1: unit's entirety because there was so much information obviously coming
- 7:46Speaker 1: out there from James Comer as he was talking to Hannity.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I wanted to play that for you. Now you talk
- 7:53Speaker 1: about the follow of the money here, right, and you
- 7:56Speaker 1: talk about the cash coming from this attorney and this
- 7:58Speaker 1: guy that's giving him five million dollars, like, oh, he's rich.
- 8:01Speaker 1: It's not that much money. Five millions to have a
- 8:03Speaker 1: lot of money. The question is what are you getting
- 8:05Speaker 1: in return? They are like, well, it's a loane. Okay,
- 8:07Speaker 1: when are you going to start paying back the loan?
- 8:10Speaker 3: Now? I'm going to get.
- 8:11Speaker 1: More on that in a moment, But I also want
- 8:13Speaker 1: to talk about some of these other notable individuals in
- 8:16Speaker 1: the Biden administration that have direct ties to Hunter Biden.
- 8:21Speaker 1: All right, let me tell you real quick about an
- 8:22Speaker 1: amazing company. And if you're like me and you're sick
- 8:26Speaker 1: and tied to giving your money to companies that hate you,
- 8:28Speaker 1: that literally hate you, hate your family values, hate your
- 8:31Speaker 1: Christian values, hate your traditional values, well now there's an option.
- 8:35Speaker 3: When it comes to your cell phone.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I have switched to Patriot Mobile, and when I look
- 8:38Speaker 1: at my phone every time, and the top left it
- 8:41Speaker 1: says Patriot And I know that when I pay my
- 8:44Speaker 1: bill every month, that a percentage of that bill, at
- 8:46Speaker 1: no extra cost to me, is going to go back
- 8:48Speaker 1: to support conservative causes, candidates, organizations, and most importantly to me,
- 8:54Speaker 1: support the rights of unborn children this country to live. Now,
- 8:58Speaker 1: I do that every month because I love knowing that
- 9:01Speaker 1: I'm giving my money to a company that actually loves
- 9:04Speaker 1: my values. For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's
- 9:07Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say only
- 9:12Speaker 1: trust me, they are the only one. Patriot Mobile is
- 9:14Speaker 1: a great supporter of this show, which is why I'm
- 9:17Speaker 1: proud to partner with him, because they support conservative ideals.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability
- 9:24Speaker 1: to access all three major networks the same exact cell
- 9:28Speaker 1: phone towers you're using right now, which means you get
- 9:31Speaker 1: the same coverage you've been accustomed to without funding the left. Now,
- 9:34Speaker 1: when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending the message
- 9:37Speaker 1: that you support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life,
- 9:40Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, and our military veterans and first responder heroes.

- 10:08Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:08Speaker 1: The most notable individuals from the analysis include two members
- 10:13Speaker 1: of Biden's cabinet. One is former cabinet member, a top
- 10:17Speaker 1: aide to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a national security advisor.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Four top Biden Whitehouse aids.
- 10:26Speaker 1: The communications director for the first Lady Joe Biden, and
- 10:30Speaker 1: then multiple other former staffers are on this list. All
- 10:36Speaker 1: emails were reviewed and verified by Fox News Digital. I'll
- 10:40Speaker 1: give you one example of Kate Bettingfield, former White House
- 10:43Speaker 1: communications director, who departed the role last year but is
- 10:47Speaker 1: still a staunch defender of the Biden administration and serves
- 10:50Speaker 1: as an outside surrogate. Previously communicated directly with Hunter Biden.
- 10:54Speaker 1: We now know in twenty sixteen about a column written
- 10:58Speaker 1: by Joe Goldstein, a law professor prey using his father's
- 11:01Speaker 1: Presidency quote. It is excellent. We will move it around
- 11:05Speaker 1: to the White House press corpse, she wrote in she
- 11:08Speaker 1: wrote to Hunter and a number of others. Bettingfield was
- 11:12Speaker 1: serving as then Vice President Joe Biden's communication director when
- 11:16Speaker 1: she was directly communicating with Hunter. Other emails from twenty
- 11:21Speaker 1: fifteen also showed that Bettingfield later tried to squash a
- 11:24Speaker 1: Bloomberg story about Hunter Biden at the request of his
- 11:29Speaker 1: firm Rosemont Seneca. So to be clear, this email from
- 11:34Speaker 1: twenty fifteen shows your tax dollars paying the salary of
- 11:39Speaker 1: Bettingfield then working on behalf of a private citizen Hunter
- 11:44Speaker 1: Biden to squash a negative story that would hurt Hunter
- 11:48Speaker 1: Biden and.
- 11:49Speaker 3: By default within hurt Joe Biden.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Now her job in a public communications role where you
- 11:58Speaker 1: and I, as taxpayers are paying, literally her salary is
- 12:01Speaker 1: not to go work for somebody and be the pr
- 12:04Speaker 1: firm of a private citizen. The emails also show a
- 12:08Speaker 1: close relationship between Biden's office, Hunter's longtime business partner Eric Swearin,
- 12:15Speaker 1: as well as the media.
- 12:16Speaker 3: So yet again, your.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Tax hour's paying the salaries the Comms department and communications
- 12:22Speaker 1: direct to the White House. Who's then working on behalf
- 12:25Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden. Swearin, who was the then president of
- 12:29Speaker 1: Hunters now defunct Rosemont Seneca partner's investment firm, asked the
- 12:33Speaker 1: White House Comms betting Field whether there was any follow
- 12:37Speaker 1: up quote unquote by other news outlets on a New
- 12:40Speaker 1: York Times story that said, quote the credibility of the
- 12:43Speaker 1: Vice president's anti corruption message may have been undermined by
- 12:48Speaker 1: Hunter serving on the board of Barrisma Holding, so they
- 12:52Speaker 1: were helping in all of this cover up. And the
- 12:55Speaker 1: White House spokesperson, Kate Bettingfield, speaking at the briefings, you're
- 12:59Speaker 1: paying her salary, was then moonlighting as the PR team
- 13:03Speaker 1: for Hunter Biden and Rosemont Seneca and his time with
- 13:06Speaker 1: Barisma Holdings in Ukraine. Guess where Bettingfield now works. Bettingfield
- 13:12Speaker 1: is now a CNN political commentator. Yes, now, a CNN
- 13:17Speaker 1: political commentator responded that a Bloomberger reporter had asked about it,
- 13:23Speaker 1: but was doing everything she can to not use it.
- 13:28Speaker 1: So she's working on behalf of Hunter Biden, who's not
- 13:31Speaker 1: a government employee, who has no position in the United
- 13:34Speaker 1: States government, and she's working on his behalf, on behalf
- 13:37Speaker 1: of Rosemarke Seneca on behalf of Barisma to get good
- 13:41Speaker 1: press and to squash bad press on Hunter Biden, and
- 13:44Speaker 1: you're paying her salary quote VP, referring to Vice President
- 13:49Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Just finished an interview with Bloomberg reporter traveling
- 13:52Speaker 1: with us, and she asked about it, though she assures
- 13:55Speaker 1: me she's doing everything she can to not use it.
- 13:58Speaker 3: I have a transcription. I will have a transcript soon.
- 14:01Speaker 1: But my quick notes on his answer are, no one
- 14:05Speaker 1: has any doubt about my record on corruption. I don't
- 14:08Speaker 1: talk to my son about his business, and my children
- 14:12Speaker 1: don't talk to me about mine. I have complete faith
- 14:15Speaker 1: in my son. So to be clear, she is covering
- 14:19Speaker 1: up for the lies of the Vice President of the time,
- 14:21Speaker 1: Joe Biden. She's then running damage control on behalf of
- 14:25Speaker 1: a private citizen.
- 14:26Speaker 3: You're paying her salary, and she's.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Then covering up the lie to the American people by
- 14:32Speaker 1: Joe Biden that he says they don't talk about business,
- 14:34Speaker 1: and the emails are clearly showing that they absolutely do
- 14:37Speaker 1: talk about business, which is another lie. So this email
- 14:42Speaker 1: alone confirms four different lies now told by Joe Biden
- 14:46Speaker 1: to the American people. Swear and responded all right, this
- 14:49Speaker 1: is the guy at Rosemon Seneca with Hunter Biden. I
- 14:52Speaker 1: would just urge her as I know you are doing that.
- 14:56Speaker 1: There is no new news there and even if she
- 14:59Speaker 1: uses it, she should avoid getting into past stories Navy, etc.
- 15:04Speaker 3: That have nothing to do with this.
- 15:06Speaker 1: The story, by the way, was ultimately published we have
- 15:09Speaker 1: found out as well. Let's move on from that corruption
- 15:13Speaker 1: and your tax dollars being abused to another one. John
- 15:17Speaker 1: Nevergoal a business executive who was tapped in twenty twenty
- 15:21Speaker 1: two to serve another term on President Biden's Advisory Council
- 15:26Speaker 1: on Doing Business in Africa, also known as the pack
- 15:30Speaker 1: Dash DBIA. He previously worked as a senior advisor to
- 15:36Speaker 1: Rosemont Seneca and directly strategized with Hunter on brokering business
- 15:41Speaker 1: deals in Western Africa years prior to his appointment in
- 15:46Speaker 1: the current administration under now President Joe Biden.
- 15:50Speaker 3: How do we know? All this?
- 15:52Speaker 1: Emails show that never goals relationship with Hunter dated back
- 15:56Speaker 1: to at least twenty eleven.
- 15:58Speaker 3: In in August fifth, twenty.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Eleven, email chain swearing then president Rosemont Senic Advisors in
- 16:05Speaker 1: formed Hunter that Nevergal had received and requested to split
- 16:10Speaker 1: a retainer fee seventy thirty for helping broker a deal
- 16:15Speaker 1: between Rosemont and a Brazilian construction giant oas we have
- 16:22Speaker 1: the emails now that have been published online by Fox
- 16:26Speaker 1: News Now. After Hunter pushed back on the price the
- 16:30Speaker 1: seventy thirty split, Swearin, who is also a member of
- 16:34Speaker 1: the abd's board of advisors for several years, said, so
- 16:39Speaker 1: I am okay all caps with seventy thirty, mainly.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Because I think the relationship.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Can bear fruit in other areas down the line, example
- 16:47Speaker 1: in Africa if we choose to focus there, meaning give
- 16:50Speaker 1: them the damn thirty percent right. A few years later,
- 16:54Speaker 1: Eric Swearin emailed Hunter Biden again on May twenty ninth
- 16:58Speaker 1: of twenty fourteen, saying he talked to John never Goal
- 17:01Speaker 1: yesterday and he said you had mentioned to him you
- 17:04Speaker 1: wanted to discuss natural gas at some point. At the time,
- 17:09Speaker 1: Hunter had just been appointed to serve as a board
- 17:12Speaker 1: member for the Ukrainian oiled and Gas company you Ready,
- 17:17Speaker 1: Barisma Holdings, for which he had received intense scrutiny over
- 17:22Speaker 1: several years that prompted him to later admit he used
- 17:25Speaker 1: quote poor judgment and that he would not join the
- 17:28Speaker 1: board again if he could do things over.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Guess what happened.
- 17:32Speaker 1: They communicated that two men communicated frequently on natural gas
- 17:36Speaker 1: from twenty ten all the way until two thousand and seventeen.
- 17:41Speaker 1: I've just given you a couple stories, and I have
- 17:43Speaker 1: a couple more I'm going to give you, But I
- 17:45Speaker 1: do want to take a step back and then think
- 17:47Speaker 1: about the five million that Hunter Biden owes now and
- 17:50Speaker 1: the five that he owes now to this sugar daddy attorney.
- 17:55Speaker 1: There's no way in hell this attorney isn't getting something
- 17:58Speaker 1: in return.
- 18:00Speaker 3: What is he getting in return? We don't know. But
- 18:03Speaker 3: when Hunter.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Biden has this many ties to nearly two dozen current
- 18:06Speaker 1: and former Biden officials, and every one of these relationships
- 18:10Speaker 1: is about making him more money for his dad, because
- 18:14Speaker 1: the product is Joe Biden. It's not Hunter Biden, He's
- 18:18Speaker 1: a bag man. Joe Biden is the product. None of
- 18:21Speaker 1: these emails are written without Joe Biden's being involved, being alive,
- 18:25Speaker 1: being his position of power. None of these emails are
- 18:29Speaker 1: written in none of these deals are done if it
- 18:31Speaker 1: isn't for Joe Biden being in office. That's what they're buying,
- 18:36Speaker 1: access to the power that he has right in office.
- 18:41Speaker 3: This is the reality of where we are now.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to another one of these relationships
- 18:48Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden was able to use to his advantage
- 18:52Speaker 1: to make money. Michael Hockman, a White House aide who
- 18:56Speaker 1: has held multiple positions of the Biden administration, including White
- 18:59Speaker 1: House Deputy Staff Secretary, previously spent nearly two decades at
- 19:04Speaker 1: a Delaware law firm that was heavily involved with corporate
- 19:08Speaker 1: entities tied to Hunter Biden, his business associates, as well
- 19:12Speaker 1: as other Biden family members. Between January of twenty twenty
- 19:16Speaker 1: one and June of twenty twenty two, Hakman served as
- 19:20Speaker 1: the White House Deputy Staff Secretary before joining the White
- 19:23Speaker 1: House's recently created Office of the National Cyber Director, which
- 19:29Speaker 1: advises directly Joe Biden on cybersecurity policy and strategy. Hackman
- 19:35Speaker 1: started out as a Deputy General Counsel and then as
- 19:38Speaker 1: the Deputy Chief of Staff before being promoted to the
- 19:41Speaker 1: Chief of Staff last November. Fox's analysis found several emails
- 19:46Speaker 1: between Hakman and Hunter sent during the Obama Biden administration,
- 19:51Speaker 1: in addition to nearly a dozen Biden linked corporate entities
- 19:55Speaker 1: that were registered through the law firm, where Hakman spent
- 19:58Speaker 1: most of his career. The review found that this law
- 20:04Speaker 1: firm and others served as the registering agents of Owasco LLC.
- 20:10Speaker 1: You've known about that corrupt business Rosemont Seneca Advisors and
- 20:15Speaker 1: Robinson Walker LLC, which is owned by Hunter's former business
- 20:20Speaker 1: partner Rob Walker. Fox's Digital previously reported that members of
- 20:24Speaker 1: the Biden family received more than one million in payments
- 20:29Speaker 1: from accounts related to Walker's LLC and their Chinese business
- 20:34Speaker 1: ventures involving CEFC affiliate State Energy HK in Communist China
- 20:40Speaker 1: par the Chinese Communist Party.
- 20:43Speaker 3: In twenty seventeen.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Multiple Biden family accounts, including those belonging directly to Hunter Biden,
- 20:51Speaker 1: Hallie Biden, and unnamed Biden, also received approximately one million,
- 20:57Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand dollars from the same Walker LLC accounts
- 21:02Speaker 1: after Bladen Enterprises, which reportedly belongs to Gabrielle, a Romanian tycoon,
- 21:11Speaker 1: deposited over three million dollars into those accounts between November
- 21:16Speaker 1: of fifteen and May of seventeen. So just to again,
- 21:19Speaker 1: this seems complicated, but it's really not. So let me
- 21:21Speaker 1: explain it differently. You have multiple shell companies that were
- 21:25Speaker 1: set up by the law firm and this guy who
- 21:28Speaker 1: now works to the White House at a high level.
- 21:31Speaker 1: You have millions of dollars in payments from accounts related
- 21:34Speaker 1: to all of these LLCs that were set up. You
- 21:37Speaker 1: also then have shady businessmen a Romanian oligarcha tycoon depositing
- 21:43Speaker 1: more than three million dollars into these accounts in fifteen
- 21:46Speaker 1: through eighteen or through seventeen.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Excuse me.
- 21:50Speaker 1: And according to a twenty seventeen email from Walker, which
- 21:53Speaker 1: was attained by the Senate Finance Committee, Walker Walker viewed
- 21:57Speaker 1: himself as quote a surrogate quote unquote vote for Hunter
- 22:01Speaker 1: and his uncle Jim Biden when engaging business opportunities. Now,
- 22:08Speaker 1: let me get to an even bigger fish in the pond,
- 22:11Speaker 1: so you understand that it wasn't just all of these
- 22:14Speaker 1: people involved names that you may not have ever heard.
- 22:17Speaker 3: Let me throw out a name that you have heard,
- 22:19Speaker 3: John Kerry.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Less than six months before Hunter and his longtime business
- 22:25Speaker 1: partner Devin Archer became board members at the Barisma Energy
- 22:29Speaker 1: Company in Ukraine in twenty fourteen, Email correspondent shows at
- 22:34Speaker 1: a top aide to then Secretary of State John Kerrey,
- 22:39Speaker 1: who announced this month he was leaving the Biden administration
- 22:41Speaker 1: to serve as an advisor for the Biden campaign. Was
- 22:45Speaker 1: telling some of his fellow State Department officials that Carrie
- 22:48Speaker 1: and Hunter had a close relationship, a close friendship, and
- 22:52Speaker 1: that Hunter asked Carry to speak to his Georgetown University
- 22:55Speaker 1: graduate students on March the eighteenth of twenty fourteen. These
- 22:59Speaker 1: guys were thicke as thieves. That's what we now understand.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Quote just spoke with Hunter Biden. Good friend of S
- 23:06Speaker 1: who teaches a class at Georgetown on advocacy, David Wade wrote,
- 23:11Speaker 1: He'd like us to speak to his class on three eighteen.
- 23:15Speaker 1: If S is here, He'll for sure want to do this.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Class would come here to h. S. T On the
- 23:25Speaker 1: day of the class, Archer told Hunter he would send
- 23:27Speaker 1: a briefing he'd put together on Barisma.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Let me read that again.
- 23:31Speaker 1: On the day of the class, Devin Archer told Hunter
- 23:35Speaker 1: that he would send a briefing paper that he put
- 23:38Speaker 1: together on Barisma ahead of Hunter's trip the following day
- 23:43Speaker 1: to New York City to meet with him. It's unclear
- 23:46Speaker 1: whether Carrie had knowledge of the conversation between Hunter and
- 23:49Speaker 1: Archer about Barisma. In March of twenty fourteen or in
- 23:53Speaker 1: the weeks following the class, but it was obvious they
- 23:56Speaker 1: used as an opportunity to then deal with Barisma. This
- 24:00Speaker 1: is insane, folks, and it's not just that it gets
- 24:05Speaker 1: even more corrupt for John Carey. Carrie's stepson, Chris Hines,
- 24:10Speaker 1: was a direct business partner of Hunter Biden and a
- 24:13Speaker 1: direct business parcher of Devin Archer at the time. He
- 24:16Speaker 1: reportedly severed ties with a firm later that year, and
- 24:21Speaker 1: a spokesman attributed their Barisma board membership as a major
- 24:25Speaker 1: catalyst for mister Hines ending his business relationship with mister
- 24:30Speaker 1: Archer and mister Biden. However, he still remained friendly with
- 24:34Speaker 1: them in emails more than a year after they joined
- 24:37Speaker 1: the Barisma board, raking in millions and millions of dollars.
- 24:42Speaker 1: You want another high profile name, how about Jake Sullivan,
- 24:47Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and President Biden's national security advisor. This the
- 24:51Speaker 1: dude that's advising him on national security, folks. Jake Sullivan
- 24:55Speaker 1: served together on the board of the Truman National Secure
- 25:00Speaker 1: Project It's a liberal foreign think tank policy for roughly
- 25:04Speaker 1: two years before Sullivan joined the President's campaign in twenty twenty.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, who started serving on the board in twenty twelve,
- 25:11Speaker 1: and Sullivan both served on the Washington based nonprofit board
- 25:15Speaker 1: together between twenty seventeen and nineteen, according to the archives
- 25:20Speaker 1: from the Wayback Machine. During that time, Hunter was also
- 25:24Speaker 1: serving on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Barisma Holdings,
- 25:28Speaker 1: as well as the Chinese private equity fund be Hr Partners.
- 25:32Speaker 1: The federal investigation to Hunter's foreign business dealings, which is
- 25:35Speaker 1: still ongoing, also launched during the same time frame. In
- 25:39Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Jake Sullivan served as asked Security board on
- 25:45Speaker 1: that board with Hunter Biden for two years, raising major
- 25:48Speaker 1: questions now from the GOP. Sullivan, by the way, has
- 25:52Speaker 1: been accused by former White House official Mike McCormick of
- 25:56Speaker 1: being a conspirator to the Biden family's kickback scheme in
- 26:00Speaker 1: Ukraine when Biden was the Vice President. Sullivan, of course,
- 26:04Speaker 1: is denying those allegations, telling reporters.
- 26:06Speaker 3: That he had nothing to do with such an operation.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Sure we believe you.
- 26:11Speaker 1: And finally, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Sayings, who
- 26:16Speaker 1: had the federal COVID nineteen pandemic response between twenty twenty
- 26:21Speaker 1: one and April of twenty twenty two. We now know
- 26:24Speaker 1: met with Hunter Biden multiple times in twenty sixteen. According
- 26:28Speaker 1: to emails in White House visitor logs. Yes, the White
- 26:31Speaker 1: House Chief of Staff met with Hunter Biden twice in
- 26:33Speaker 1: February of twenty sixteen and on another occasion in May
- 26:37Speaker 1: of sixteen, just months before Biden, the Vice President at
- 26:40Speaker 1: the time, was set to leave the White House. The
- 26:43Speaker 1: emails show that Biden attended the first two meetings, both
- 26:46Speaker 1: of which took place at the US Naval Observatory, where
- 26:49Speaker 1: the Vice President's residence is located. Additionally, Anne Marie Muldoon,
- 26:56Speaker 1: who was an assistant to the then Vice President Biden
- 26:59Speaker 1: between fourteen and in seventeen, sent Hunter Biden invitation to
- 27:02Speaker 1: attend a potential fourth meeting with his father and Zence,
- 27:07Speaker 1: as well as David Bradley, a Washington, DC based political
- 27:11Speaker 1: consultant and chair of media group Atlantic Media, as well
- 27:15Speaker 1: as Eric Lander, at the home on July the twelfth, sixteen,
- 27:19Speaker 1: in DC. It is unclear whether Hunter Biden joined the meeting.
- 27:24Speaker 3: We're assuming he did.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Muldoon sent him a copy of the meeting agenda after
- 27:28Speaker 1: it took place, raising even more suspicions about what exactly
- 27:32Speaker 1: happened there, and let me just end with this one.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Ron Klain, Biden's former White House chief of staff who
- 27:38Speaker 1: stepped down last year, previously served as the chief of
- 27:41Speaker 1: staff for Vice President Biden until the end of January
- 27:43Speaker 1: twenty eleven, and in September of twenty twelve, Clan reached
- 27:47Speaker 1: out to Hunter Biden for helping raising twenty thousand dollars
- 27:50Speaker 1: for the Vice Presence Residence Foundation, telling him to keep
- 27:54Speaker 1: this low key. In fact, let me read exactly what
- 27:57Speaker 1: he wrote. Told to keep this low low key to
- 28:03Speaker 1: prevent quote bad pr According to the emails obtained by
- 28:07Speaker 1: Fox News Digital, the tax lawyers for the VP Residents
- 28:11Speaker 1: Foundation have concluded that since the Chenney folks last raise
- 28:15Speaker 1: money in seven and not eight, we actually have to
- 28:18Speaker 1: have some incoming funds before the end of the physical
- 28:20Speaker 1: year before nine thirty of twelve next week to remain
- 28:24Speaker 1: eligible to be a public charity.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Clan, who had left.
- 28:29Speaker 1: His chief of sta position in the Vice President's office
- 28:31Speaker 1: a year earlier, but was the foundation's chair at the time,
- 28:34Speaker 1: send an email to Hunter Biden.
- 28:37Speaker 3: It's not much.
- 28:38Speaker 1: We need to raise a total of twenty thousand, so
- 28:40Speaker 1: I'm hitting up a few very close friends on a
- 28:43Speaker 1: very confidential basis to write checks of two thousand each.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Clan continued, we need to.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Keep this low, low key because raising money for the
- 28:51Speaker 1: residents now is bad PR but it has to be done.
- 28:55Speaker 1: So I'm trying to just collect the ten checks of
- 28:58Speaker 1: two thousand to get it done in a way, and
- 29:00Speaker 1: then we can do an event for the Residence Foundation
- 29:03Speaker 1: after the election. Then Ford the email to guess what
- 29:06Speaker 1: Eric Swearn, who helped manage the majority of Hunter's finances,
- 29:10Speaker 1: and the two discussed donation donating to the foundation, though
- 29:13Speaker 1: it's not clear what was ultimately decided.
- 29:17Speaker 3: I still have another ten stories to tell you.
- 29:20Speaker 1: I'm going to do that in part two of this
- 29:23Speaker 1: because it's so important that you understand just how corrupt
- 29:26Speaker 1: the Biden apparatus actually is. Make sure you share this
- 29:31Speaker 1: podcast with your family and friends. I will have part
- 29:34Speaker 1: two for you on this coming up. I can assure
- 29:36Speaker 1: you please share it on social media and I'll see
- 29:38Speaker 1: it back here tomorrow
