TRUMP INDICTMENT: Everything You Need to Know about the Biden DOJ's Latest Corrupt Attack · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is verdict to with Senator Ted Cruz Ben
0:04
Speaker 1: Ferguson with you. Donald Trump. He announced it. I've been
0:07
Speaker 1: indicted apparently. It's a seven count indictment that has rocked
0:12
Speaker 1: the media world, and really it is shocked to the
0:15
Speaker 1: country center your reaction to this at former president being
0:19
Speaker 1: indicted for a second time now by the special counsel
0:23
Speaker 1: Jack Smith.
0:24
Speaker 2: Well, Ben, you and I are talking. It is twelve
0:27
Speaker 2: oh one am Friday morning. I was on an airplane
0:30
Speaker 2: when this indictment happened. I was flying back to the
0:32
Speaker 2: great state of Texas. So I'm in Texas now. And
0:35
Speaker 2: when I landed, I discovered what had been heavily leaked,
0:39
Speaker 2: had been heavily foreshadowed that Donald Trump was going.
0:42
Speaker 3: To be indicted today.
0:44
Speaker 2: I have to say today is a very sad day
0:48
Speaker 2: in American history. It is a shameful day in American history.
0:54
Speaker 2: It is a disgraceful day in American history. Look, our
0:59
Speaker 2: constitution is bablish as a system of justice. Where number one,
1:04
Speaker 2: we have had for forty six presidents consistently a peaceful
1:09
Speaker 2: transfer of power, with each president leaving office on January twentieth,
1:14
Speaker 2: At least in the modern times, and each new president
1:18
Speaker 2: coming in on January twentieth. We have never in over
1:23
Speaker 2: two centuries of our nation's history had a new president
1:28
Speaker 2: who launched the entire Department of Justice, the entire machinery
1:31
Speaker 2: of Justice, on a vendetta to persecute, to attack, to investigate,
1:37
Speaker 2: to indict, to try to throw in jail the former president, who,
1:44
Speaker 2: it should be noted, is also currently the leading contender
1:48
Speaker 2: on the Republican side to run against the current president.
1:52
Speaker 2: That has never happened at any point, no matter how
1:55
Speaker 2: bad the vitriol is gotten. Nobody has tried to do that.
2:02
Speaker 2: And part of the reason nobody has tried to do
2:04
Speaker 2: that is for the vast majority of the history of
2:07
Speaker 2: our country, no Department of Justice would go along with it.
2:09
Speaker 2: No attorney general would countenance being turned into a political
2:15
Speaker 2: weapon to attack your political opponent. The result of today,
2:23
Speaker 2: Merrick Garland is going to go down in disgrace as
2:28
Speaker 2: the most partisan and political attorney general in our nation's history.
2:32
Speaker 2: And Joe Biden and the Biden White House has decided
2:36
Speaker 2: to hell with democracy. By the way, today is an
2:40
Speaker 2: assault on democracy. You know, one of the things about
2:43
Speaker 2: the left, the language they use. They inevitably accuse their
2:49
Speaker 2: opponents of doing what they are doing. So right now,
2:53
Speaker 2: democrats piously frame themselves as defenders of democracy. Today is
3:01
Speaker 2: a slap in the face of democracy, because what today
3:04
Speaker 2: the Biden administration is saying is to hell with you, voters.
3:08
Speaker 2: We're worried that the voters might decide they want to
3:12
Speaker 2: re elect Donald Trump, and so we're not going to
3:15
Speaker 2: let the voters do that. We're going to bring a prosecution.
3:19
Speaker 2: And let me be clear, Look, we don't know the
3:20
Speaker 2: details of the prosecution. This indictment is still sealed, but
3:24
Speaker 2: the Biden DOJ is nothing if not political, so they
3:27
Speaker 2: leak like crazy. So we have pretty good intel on
3:31
Speaker 2: what the claims are. Now, I will say this this
3:36
Speaker 2: podcast has said for a long time, over and over again.
3:39
Speaker 2: I've been telling Verdict listeners, Merrick Garland wants to indict
3:43
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. He intends to indict Donald Trump. Came into
3:47
Speaker 2: office with the plan to indict Donald Trump. I'm going
3:51
Speaker 2: to point out those predictions.
3:52
Speaker 3: We're all entirely right.
3:54
Speaker 2: I also predicted on this podcast as we discussed that,
3:58
Speaker 2: I said, look, the indictment is not just going to
4:02
Speaker 2: be for possession of classified documents. After you're out of office.
4:07
Speaker 2: That I believe had been the plan. That I believe
4:09
Speaker 2: had been what Garland wanted to do, But then he
4:13
Speaker 2: ran into an enormous political complication. It's not as much
4:17
Speaker 2: a legal complication as it is a political complication, which
4:22
Speaker 2: is that Joe Biden was discovered having done the same
4:25
Speaker 2: thing over and over and over again, that he had
4:27
Speaker 2: classified documents it seems in every house he owns, and
4:30
Speaker 2: he owns houses all over the place, including most laughably
4:35
Speaker 2: classified documents just sitting in a box at his garage
4:38
Speaker 2: next to his corvette. Suddenly Merrit Garland had a problem,
4:44
Speaker 2: which is if he indicts Trump just on the possession
4:48
Speaker 2: of classified documents after he's out of office, well, Joe
4:52
Speaker 2: Biden has done the same thing. And so what we
4:56
Speaker 2: predicted on this podcast is that Garland would indict Trump
5:01
Speaker 2: for obstruction of justice instead that he would indict Trump
5:05
Speaker 2: for lying.
5:08
Speaker 3: About the documents.
5:10
Speaker 2: That because Garland wouldn't indict Biden over it, he was
5:17
Speaker 2: not saying was a crime. Well, it turned out that
5:19
Speaker 2: prediction was mostly right, but not entirely right. So what
5:23
Speaker 2: it appears to be the case is the DOJ's indicting
5:26
Speaker 2: Trump for everything.
5:26
Speaker 3: They just threw the kitchen sink at him.
5:29
Speaker 2: So they're indicting him for apparently eighteen USC. Section seven
5:34
Speaker 2: ninety three E, which is obstructing an official proceeding, eighteen USC.
5:40
Speaker 2: Section fifteen twelve C, which is conspiracy to obstruct justice
5:46
Speaker 2: eighteen USC. Section fifteen nineteen, and also making a materrely
5:51
Speaker 2: false statement pursuing to eighteen USC. Section one thousand and one.
5:56
Speaker 2: And so they're throwing all of this. They're doing obstruction
5:59
Speaker 2: of justice, but they are also focusing on the confidential
6:04
Speaker 2: documents that are doing both. This indictment is garbage. This
6:09
Speaker 2: is a political attack. It is a political attack from
6:13
Speaker 2: a thoroughly corrupted and weaponized Department of Justice, and it's
6:19
Speaker 2: a sad day for America.
6:20
Speaker 1: I got to ask you about the timing of this,
6:22
Speaker 1: and this is one of the questions that so many
6:24
Speaker 1: people are asking, and I want to get your take.
6:28
Speaker 1: Center the very same day that the FBI agreed to
6:32
Speaker 1: allow members of the Oversight Committee to review the documents
6:36
Speaker 1: that are allegedly tying Joe Biden to a five million
6:40
Speaker 1: dollar bribery scheme with a foreign national, President Trump is
6:44
Speaker 1: informed that he's going to be indicted by the Biden
6:47
Speaker 1: Department of Justice. I don't believe that's by accident.
6:51
Speaker 3: Do you no?
6:54
Speaker 2: And let me say the hypocrisy is massive. I'm sure
7:01
Speaker 2: you've seen what Biden said when asked about that, and
7:07
Speaker 2: and actually let's let let's play it right now, because
7:09
Speaker 2: I want to point out what Biden's response was when
7:14
Speaker 2: he was asked about the evidence that he was personally
7:18
Speaker 2: implicated in a five million dollar bribery scheme. I'm supposed
7:22
Speaker 2: to walk off the stage.
7:24
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait.
7:25
Speaker 2: Wait issue Farmers flew and Nancy May says, there's damning.
7:29
Speaker 1: Evidence that the outfile that you sold out the country.
7:32
Speaker 2: Give response to the progression Republicans, where's the money to
7:39
Speaker 2: a bunch of momarke.
7:41
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of malarkey centater we. By the way,
7:44
Speaker 1: I can't believe he said that. The comms team, I'm
7:46
Speaker 1: sure was freaking out the fact that he even asked
7:49
Speaker 1: that question. Where's the money? We know where the damn
7:51
Speaker 1: money is. We know where it is from the bank accounts,
7:53
Speaker 1: we know where it is from the suspicious activity reports.
7:55
Speaker 1: And now members of Congress have seen where the money
7:58
Speaker 1: went to all the different Biden family accounts and shell companies.
8:03
Speaker 2: Well, look, that is exactly right, But I want to
8:06
Speaker 2: step back for a minute. I want to put that
8:09
Speaker 2: exchange which played out today in context with this shameful
8:14
Speaker 2: indictment that came down today. Now, we've gone over two
8:20
Speaker 2: centuries of our nation's history without any president trying to
8:24
Speaker 2: indict his predecessor, without any president trying to indict his
8:29
Speaker 2: potential future opponent. So look, theoretically that ought to be
8:35
Speaker 2: a possibility. Should you possibly prosecute a former president, Yes,
8:43
Speaker 2: but the threshold should be incredibly high. Any rational person,
8:49
Speaker 2: anyone who respects our democratic system, anyone who respects our constitutions,
8:52
Speaker 2: should recognize that you shouldn't be prosecuting a former president
8:57
Speaker 2: for little tiki tak offenses, for little, little nonsense offenses.
9:01
Speaker 2: That the threshold should be really damn high. So what
9:06
Speaker 2: sort of things? If a president sold nuclear secrets to
9:11
Speaker 2: our enemies, I prosecute that for a president for that.
9:15
Speaker 2: If a president was Benedict Arnold and conspired with our
9:19
Speaker 2: enemies against us, i'd prosecuted for a president.
9:22
Speaker 3: Bennett Arnold wasn't a foreign president, but that's.
9:24
Speaker 2: A great historical treason. If a president was receiving bribes
9:33
Speaker 2: from foreign nations. That's the kind of thing you prosecuted
9:37
Speaker 2: for a president for.
9:39
Speaker 3: Now.
9:39
Speaker 2: What's astonishing is Joe Biden right now is currently facing
9:46
Speaker 2: allegations that he was personally party to a five million
9:51
Speaker 2: dollar bribe from a foreign nation. That's a big damn deal.
9:54
Speaker 2: That's not a small little ticki tac allegation. That's the
9:58
Speaker 2: sort of thing people go to prison for decades for.
10:02
Speaker 2: And his response, the smarmy, smug response, where's the money now,
10:10
Speaker 2: Number one? Where's the money? That's something al Capone said.
10:14
Speaker 2: That's something John Dillinger, the bank robber said, you know,
10:16
Speaker 2: when they asked him, why do you rob banks? He said,
10:18
Speaker 2: that's where the money is. That's something criminals say, drug
10:21
Speaker 2: dealers say. El Choppa probably said, where's the money? You
10:25
Speaker 2: can't find the money. But as you noted, we actually
10:29
Speaker 2: know quite a bit about where the money went. We
10:33
Speaker 2: know that with respect to the Chinese, that there were
10:37
Speaker 2: millions of dollars that were paid up to twelve different
10:41
Speaker 2: Biden family members. We know that we're with respect to
10:44
Speaker 2: the Ukrainians, that Barisma, the natural gas company, paid Joe
10:50
Speaker 2: Biden's son Hunter a million dollars a year, year after
10:54
Speaker 2: year after year, eighty three thousand dollars a month. So
10:59
Speaker 2: where's the money. That's one place the money. As we
11:02
Speaker 2: also know that at least in the Chinese deals, that
11:06
Speaker 2: the deals were structured with ten percent for the big
11:09
Speaker 2: guy that would be Joe Biden, that would be the
11:12
Speaker 2: current president. That's where the money is. And then this
11:15
Speaker 2: five million dollar allegation. We don't know the details of it.
11:19
Speaker 2: Why because the FBI won't make it public. The FBI
11:23
Speaker 2: initially only showed it. Initially they said no one could
11:27
Speaker 2: see it. Then Congress threatened to hold him in contempt.
11:30
Speaker 2: Then the FBI said, we'll show it to James Comer
11:32
Speaker 2: and Jamie Raskin, the chairman and ranking member. Then they
11:36
Speaker 2: said we're not going to show it to everyone else.
11:38
Speaker 2: Then Congress said we're going to hold you in contempt again.
11:40
Speaker 2: Now where the FBI is, They said, we'll show it
11:42
Speaker 2: to every member of the committee. Now, look, they're four
11:46
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five members of the House. Unless you're
11:49
Speaker 2: on that committee, you haven't seen those documents. There are
11:51
Speaker 2: a hundred members of the Senate. I haven't seen those documents,
11:54
Speaker 2: to the best of my knowledge. No member of the
11:57
Speaker 2: Senate other than I guess Chuck Grassley may have seen
12:00
Speaker 2: those documents. So there may be one senator who's seen them.
12:03
Speaker 2: If there's another, I.
12:04
Speaker 3: Don't know of it. But where we are right now
12:09
Speaker 3: on the.
12:09
Speaker 2: Day, there are allegations, serious allegations of the kind of
12:14
Speaker 2: things for which presidents and former presidents might reasonably be
12:19
Speaker 2: indicted and prosecuted, which is taking five million dollar bribes
12:23
Speaker 2: from four nations. Joe Biden is simultaneously mocking the allegations
12:29
Speaker 2: where's the money, because he knows that the Democrats in
12:34
Speaker 2: Congress don't want to figure out where it is. He
12:35
Speaker 2: knows that his lackeys at the Department of Justice don't
12:38
Speaker 2: want to figure out where it is, and he knows
12:40
Speaker 2: that the lap dogs in the corporate media don't want
12:43
Speaker 2: to figure out where it is. There are no Woodward
12:45
Speaker 2: and Bernstein's. They don't exist anymore. You go back and
12:48
Speaker 2: read all the president's men follow the money. If if
12:52
Speaker 2: some reporter out there had a shred of integrity, he
12:56
Speaker 2: would listen to Joe Biden saying where's the money, and
12:58
Speaker 2: he would set his mission to say, I'm going to
13:00
Speaker 2: find that money and let the American people know, and
13:02
Speaker 2: none of them want to.
13:03
Speaker 3: They don't care.
13:04
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter to them if Joe Biden was receiving
13:08
Speaker 2: bribes from foreign nations. Why, because it's all about power.
13:12
Speaker 2: And on that same day they indict President Trump. And
13:16
Speaker 2: are there any allegations in here that Trump received a
13:20
Speaker 2: bribe from a foreign nation?
13:21
Speaker 3: No?
13:21
Speaker 2: Are there any allegations that he committed the kind of
13:24
Speaker 2: offenses that rise the level of gravity that may maybe
13:27
Speaker 2: maybe you'd consider indicting a foreign president. No, this is
13:31
Speaker 2: about hatred. Merrick Garland hates Donald Trump. He blames him
13:36
Speaker 2: because Garland wants to be on the Supreme Court. He
13:39
Speaker 2: feels like he was robbed. And I got to say,
13:41
Speaker 2: Garland spent twenty four years as a federal judge. He
13:44
Speaker 2: had built a reputation for integrity. And I am hard
13:50
Speaker 2: pressed to think of anyone in public life who has
13:53
Speaker 2: more lit their reputation on fire than Merrick Garland because
13:59
Speaker 2: he is happy to play political attack dog and Joe Biden,
14:04
Speaker 2: the Democrats are all perfectly content to see it.
14:07
Speaker 1: I got to ask you a question about Merrick Garland
14:09
Speaker 1: and to remind people about what happened to Merrick Garland
14:13
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Before I do that, though, I want
14:16
Speaker 1: to tell you about our friends, the Gout of Precious Metals.
14:18
Speaker 1: If you've been saving money for a long time, you
14:21
Speaker 1: know how frustrating it can be when it comes to
14:24
Speaker 1: protecting your hard earned dollars, especially with what the markets
14:27
Speaker 1: have been doing over the last year. You've seen the
14:28
Speaker 1: bank failures, you've seen what interest rates are doing inflation. Well,
14:32
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a company that you
14:34
Speaker 1: should talk to, a company you can trust, a Gust
14:36
Speaker 1: of Precious Metals. They're different because they'll even tell you
14:39
Speaker 1: if a gold ira isn't your answer. Now, I actually
14:43
Speaker 1: have an account with the Gust of Precious Medals, and
14:45
Speaker 1: the reason why is because I want to diversify my investments,
14:48
Speaker 1: especially when the economy is like it is right now.

Speaker 1: They're all about protecting your iras and your four oh
14:54
Speaker 1: one ks in this crazy economy, and that is the
14:58
Speaker 1: most important issue, especially when you're this close to retirement,
15:02
Speaker 1: because there is no time to make up losses. So

15:32
Speaker 1: Augusta Precious Metals dot Com sentata. I got to talk
15:36
Speaker 1: about the politics of Garland.
15:38
Speaker 2: Uh.
15:38
Speaker 1: There was a headline and I actually went back to
15:41
Speaker 1: look in my Merit Garland file and when there is
15:44
Speaker 1: important stories, sometimes I'll print them and I'll put them
15:46
Speaker 1: in a file. There was a headline back in twenty
15:49
Speaker 1: and eighteen by NPR and it said what happened with
15:53
Speaker 1: Merritt Garland in twenty sixteen and why it matters now?
15:57
Speaker 1: And they went into detail about how much it happened
15:59
Speaker 1: to him in the past two years. Many have forgotten
16:02
Speaker 1: what happened to Garland. In other words, saying like this
16:04
Speaker 1: man has a right to be angry. This is the
16:06
Speaker 1: man that was nominated to fill the twenty sixteen vacancy
16:09
Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court created by the death of Justice Scaliam,
16:14
Speaker 1: an icon of the conservative movement. You had President Barack
16:18
Speaker 1: Obama that quickly named Garland. He was then sixty three
16:20
Speaker 1: to fill the seat. Garland did not get a vote,
16:25
Speaker 1: And this article written in twenty eighteen. You got to
16:28
Speaker 1: go back to eighteen to see this article from NPR.
16:31
Speaker 1: They basically justified Merrick Garland being angry at the world
16:37
Speaker 1: and knowing that he had missed his chance to be
16:39
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice because of his age since he
16:42
Speaker 1: didn't get that time. You look at that article now, Senator,
16:47
Speaker 1: and it is a very interesting connection to what he
16:51
Speaker 1: seems to be doing now as the Attorney General. Is
16:53
Speaker 1: this is there a very good chances could just be
16:56
Speaker 1: him settling the score, saying you kept this from me,
16:59
Speaker 1: and watch what I can do with the power I
17:01
Speaker 1: have now.
17:02
Speaker 2: No, No, this is not just Merrick Garland.
17:05
Speaker 3: This is Joe Biden. This is the Democrats. Merrick Garland
17:09
Speaker 3: is not.
17:11
Speaker 2: Is this Merrick Garland's corrupt vendetta, personal vendetta? Yes, but
17:16
Speaker 2: he's doing it with the explicit embrace of the Biden
17:20
Speaker 2: White House. That's why Joe Biden put them there. And
17:23
Speaker 2: by the way, Joe Biden publicly called for the Department
17:27
Speaker 2: of Justice to investigate Donald Trump. You know, when he
17:30
Speaker 2: was campaigning for president Joe Biden said, I'm going to
17:32
Speaker 2: leave DOJ alone. I'm not going to try to influence
17:34
Speaker 2: their decisions, and yet he violated that almost immediately after
17:38
Speaker 2: he got sworn into office, where he called on them
17:40
Speaker 2: to go after Trump is Listen, Garland is angry and
17:46
Speaker 2: he's he's petty, and he keeps it as a personal grudge.
17:51
Speaker 2: Look remember the many times and we played a lot
17:54
Speaker 2: of them on this podcast. When Garland is testified before
17:56
Speaker 2: the Senate and I and others question him the degree
18:00
Speaker 2: of offense, he feels.
18:02
Speaker 3: How dare you question me?
18:05
Speaker 2: It's this self righteous entitlement that I don't report to anybody,
18:10
Speaker 2: I don't answer to anybody. I am the attorney general.
18:14
Speaker 3: To hell with the law.
18:15
Speaker 2: He picks which laws to follow, he ignores the laws
18:18
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to follow, and he has this absolute
18:23
Speaker 2: view of on accountability and self righteousness. But it's not
18:29
Speaker 2: just him. It is a mistake to think this is
18:33
Speaker 2: just a rogue attorney general. By the way, if it
18:35
Speaker 2: were a rogue attorney general, Joe Biden could fire him.
18:39
Speaker 3: This was obvious. This was coming.
18:41
Speaker 2: By the way, if it were also a rogue attorney
18:44
Speaker 2: general and a rogue FBI director. You know what Joe
18:47
Speaker 2: Biden could do, direct the FBI hand over the evidence
18:52
Speaker 2: concerning the allegations that I was involved in bribery. If
18:55
Speaker 2: Biden were innocent, he wouldn't say where's the money, This
19:01
Speaker 2: is malarkey. He'd say, these allegations are false, these allegations
19:06
Speaker 2: are serious, their lies, and I want all the information
19:09
Speaker 2: made public to show that I'm innocent. That's what he
19:11
Speaker 2: would say. He's not saying that because he knows that
19:17
Speaker 2: his loyal partisan Democrat lackeys of the Department of Justice
19:22
Speaker 2: will cover it up. They will stonewall, they will block it,
19:25
Speaker 2: and at the same time they will go after Donald
19:29
Speaker 2: Trump with everything they have. They were slowed down. They'd
19:32
Speaker 2: hoped to indict him earlier, but then suddenly the unexpected
19:37
Speaker 2: accident of Joe Biden storing classified documents all over the
19:41
Speaker 2: place made that more complicated. But this, at the end
19:46
Speaker 2: of the day, is a political attack. It is not legal,
19:50
Speaker 2: It is not the rule of law. It is not
19:52
Speaker 2: enforcing justice. It is DOJ acting as the opposition arm
19:58
Speaker 2: of the DNC, attacking their opponent. And I got to say,
20:03
Speaker 2: as someone who reveres our Department of Justice and the
20:08
Speaker 2: role it is played in the history of our nation
20:10
Speaker 2: for ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice. Today
20:17
Speaker 2: is a shocking and sad day if.
20:20
Speaker 1: You're keeping score, Senator, and this is the part that
20:23
Speaker 1: enrages so many people that are listening. You've got Hunter
20:28
Speaker 1: Biden and everything that he's done. Zero indictments, the Big Guy,
20:33
Speaker 1: zero indictments, the Quintons and everything that we now know
20:37
Speaker 1: about the four investigations that were shut down into them,
20:40
Speaker 1: and not only those investigations, but also her classified documents
20:45
Speaker 1: and the email server. The list goes on and on.
20:47
Speaker 1: Zero indictments. You put all these together, and then you
20:53
Speaker 1: see what they're doing to Donald J. Trump. There's a
20:56
Speaker 1: question that you got to ask, is.
20:58
Speaker 2: And by the way, there's one. There's one other I
21:01
Speaker 2: want to mention, Ben Sure, So, who is the most
21:04
Speaker 2: vulnerable Democrat in the US Senate right now in the ballot?
21:09
Speaker 1: Who is it?
21:10
Speaker 2: Joe Mantioned from West Virginia, unequivocally, clearly, indisputably Joe Manchin,
21:16
Speaker 2: incumbent Democrat. Senator Trump carried West Virginia by thirty nine
21:20
Speaker 2: points Manchin. Most handicappers believe he is likely to lose
21:27
Speaker 2: now mansion right now is facing one of two opponents.
21:29
Speaker 2: He's either facing Jim Justice, who's the incumbent governor. He
21:33
Speaker 2: had been a Democrat, he shifted to Republican he's running,
21:37
Speaker 2: or Alex Mooney. Alex Mooney is a congressman. He's a
21:39
Speaker 2: strong conservative. I like Alex Mooney a lot. I've endorsed
21:42
Speaker 2: Alex Mooney. I think he's the stronger conservative in the
21:45
Speaker 2: stronger candidate. I hope Alex wins. But what did doj
21:50
Speaker 2: do in the last few days? In the last few days,
21:54
Speaker 2: the Department of Justice announced that it was bringing a
21:58
Speaker 2: civil case again against Jim Justice's son and the companies
22:03
Speaker 2: that he ran, the coal companies that he ran, bringing
22:06
Speaker 2: the against the multiple cases targeting Jim Justice's son. It
22:12
Speaker 2: was so you literally have DJ saying, who's the opponent
22:16
Speaker 2: of the most vulnerable Democrat senator, Let's go bring a
22:19
Speaker 2: case against their son, within hours of them saying, oh,
22:25
Speaker 2: and let's indict for President Trump, who is also the
22:29
Speaker 2: leading Republican candidate right now for president. Like, it is
22:33
Speaker 2: a level of absolute shamelessness, I tweeted out. I said, look,
22:38
Speaker 2: in related news, the DNC has closed down it's it's
22:41
Speaker 2: headquarters in Washington, d C. And simply moved into the
22:44
Speaker 2: fifth floor of the DOJ building because they had an
22:48
Speaker 2: empty conference room and they figured they might as well
22:50
Speaker 2: share administrative costs.
22:51
Speaker 3: This is I don't.
22:54
Speaker 2: Understand an attorney general that that just says, I'm a Democrat.
23:00
Speaker 2: I've got a bunch of prosecutors under my control, and
23:02
Speaker 2: our job is to indict anyone who's a problem for
23:05
Speaker 2: Democrats and to attack Republicans. The degree to which they
23:09
Speaker 2: are lighting on fire the integrity of the Department of
23:12
Speaker 2: Justice and the FBI is heartbreaking and it's dangerous. And
23:15
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, Ben, there are thousands upon thousands of
23:18
Speaker 2: men and women at DOJ and the FBI that are
23:21
Speaker 2: horrified and angry, and many of them are coming as
23:23
Speaker 2: whistleblowers to Congress right now because they don't like seeing
23:26
Speaker 2: an institution that should be nonpartisan turned into a political
23:31
Speaker 2: attack weapon.
23:32
Speaker 1: Will this open the floodgates to more whistleblowers coming forward?
23:35
Speaker 1: Number one and number two, Senator, is the Democratic Party
23:39
Speaker 1: for all intentsive purposes dead? And I say that because
23:43
Speaker 1: I don't believe it exists anymore. I believe they're a
23:47
Speaker 1: communist party, a socialist party. I think that the Democratic
23:51
Speaker 1: Party is dead as we know it. The days of
23:54
Speaker 1: get part and O'Neill and others that could work together
23:56
Speaker 1: for the other country that seems to be long gone.
24:00
Speaker 1: They don't seem to be caring about what's right for
24:03
Speaker 1: this nation. I believe that they the Democratic Party has
24:07
Speaker 1: died and today is another tombstone for the Democratic movement.
24:13
Speaker 3: Well, you know who can answer that.
24:16
Speaker 2: Each of the serving Democrats in Congress right now, if
24:20
Speaker 2: there's even a single Democrat in the Senate, if there's
24:23
Speaker 2: even a single Democrat in the House who cares about
24:25
Speaker 2: the rule of law, he or she has a chance
24:28
Speaker 2: to denounce this. I'm going to make a prediction none
24:30
Speaker 2: of them will. To the best of my knowledge, they
24:32
Speaker 2: have in so far. I serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
24:36
Speaker 2: That's the place that has jurisdiction over all of these
24:39
Speaker 2: issues we've seen in the last week. The House is
24:43
Speaker 2: very interested in the credible allegations from an informant who
24:47
Speaker 2: the FBI had relied on previously that Joe Biden, then
24:51
Speaker 2: the Vice President of the United States, now the President
24:53
Speaker 2: of the United States, was involved personally in a five
24:56
Speaker 2: million dollar bribery scheme of the foreign nation. If we
24:59
Speaker 2: had a functioning Senate Judiciary Committee, we'd be holding hearings.
25:04
Speaker 2: Why is it that James Comer wants to see these
25:06
Speaker 2: documents but Dick Durbin doesn't because every Democrat on the
25:10
Speaker 2: Judiciary Committee they don't care if the president was receiving
25:14
Speaker 2: bribes from a foreign nation. And listen, I get partisan battles.
25:20
Speaker 2: Although this is the point I make Democrats all the time.
25:24
Speaker 2: It's not that hard to stand up to your own party.
25:28
Speaker 2: I stand up to my own party all the time.
25:30
Speaker 2: I battled Mitch McConnell. He and I have beaten each
25:33
Speaker 2: other bloody and bruised a thousand different times. Democrats put
25:39
Speaker 2: partisan loyalty above everything. And by the way, if you
25:43
Speaker 2: contrast this to Richard Nixon, as you know, I'm not
25:48
Speaker 2: a fan of Richard Nixon. I think he was corrupt.
25:51
Speaker 2: I think he abused power. I think when he resigned
25:54
Speaker 2: in disgrace it was because of incredibly bad conduct. I
25:59
Speaker 2: wrote about that at length in my last book, Justice Corrupted.
26:03
Speaker 2: But what tipped the balances was multiple Republican members of
26:08
Speaker 2: Congress said enough is enough. We can't defend this anymore.
26:13
Speaker 2: You know what's missing now? Even one Democrat not even
26:19
Speaker 2: willing to say, like Republicans did with Nixon, enough is enough.
26:23
Speaker 3: He's got to face accountability.
26:25
Speaker 2: But even one Democrat who says, I care, I want
26:28
Speaker 2: to know. What's amazing is there's not a Democrat member
26:32
Speaker 2: of Congress who even wants to know what is the
26:36
Speaker 2: evidence that Joe Biden took bribes? They don't care. And
26:39
Speaker 2: by the way, the mainstream media doesn't care and doesn't
26:43
Speaker 2: want to know what is the evidence Joe Biden took bribes? Instead,
26:47
Speaker 2: they want to shift to the indictment. You know, as
26:50
Speaker 2: I was heading over to do this podcast, I was
26:52
Speaker 2: talking with a couple of friends of mine in Dallas
26:54
Speaker 2: and we were talking about what the podcast was going
26:57
Speaker 2: to be about tonight, and I said, yeah, I'm getting
26:58
Speaker 2: ready to record it, and it's about, of course, the
27:02
Speaker 2: Trump indictment. And one of them said, well, which Trump indictment?
27:08
Speaker 2: And I left said, what an amazing comment that you
27:10
Speaker 2: have to say, which Trump indictment? You also have to
27:13
Speaker 2: say when you're concerning impeachments, which Trump impeachments? Trump was
27:17
Speaker 2: impeached twice, both of them failed, both of them were frivolous.
27:22
Speaker 2: Trump has now been indicted twice Alvin Bragg, which we
27:25
Speaker 2: talked about at length, which was an utterly frivolous and
27:28
Speaker 2: garbage prosecution, and now this one. And by the way,
27:32
Speaker 2: this may not be the last one. You've still gotten
27:34
Speaker 2: Fulton County, Georgia. On other potential indictment, we may see
27:37
Speaker 2: three indictments where this is Democrats gone wild. We will
27:42
Speaker 2: indict and indict and indict the man, not because of
27:45
Speaker 2: evidence of criminal conduct, but because we hate him and
27:49
Speaker 2: because they are angry at the American people that the
27:55
Speaker 2: voters might just might have the temerity to elect him,
27:58
Speaker 2: and their view is to hell with you, voters, to
28:02
Speaker 2: hell with democracy. We're going to do everything we can
28:04
Speaker 2: to burn him down because we hate him that much.
28:07
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the timeline for this. Obviously, he's going
28:10
Speaker 1: to go to court in Miami, we're being told President
28:15
Speaker 1: Trump will. But let's talk about the timeline of what
28:18
Speaker 1: happens after that, so people kind of know how long
28:21
Speaker 1: this could linger. Could this be settled or thrown out
28:25
Speaker 1: of court? Is there a chance of that before the election,
28:28
Speaker 1: and or this could this drag on until well after
28:32
Speaker 1: election day? And if that happens, then what happens if
28:35
Speaker 1: you have a president United States of America that is
28:37
Speaker 1: convicted of one of these crimes, if in fact that does,
28:41
Speaker 1: they can find a jury that doesn't. And before we
28:43
Speaker 1: get to that, I want to tell you about Chalk.
28:45
Speaker 1: If you're a guy and you're dealing with a real problem,
28:48
Speaker 1: and that is you're getting a little bit older, and
28:50
Speaker 1: you feel like weakness and complacency is setting in. You
28:54
Speaker 1: feel like you've lost some of your edge, your strength,
28:56
Speaker 1: your vitality. Well, you're not alone. It's a problem that
28:59
Speaker 1: is happening all over the country. In the world, men's
29:02
Speaker 1: tatsas from levels are off a cliff historically and they
29:05
Speaker 1: are at an all time low. The patriots at Chalk
29:09
Speaker 1: are here to help real American men get back your
29:12
Speaker 1: strength and vitality, get rid of that weakness and complacency
29:16

29:52
Speaker 1: now center moving forward? After the President goes to court
29:57
Speaker 1: in Miami, and then and how does this play out?
30:01
Speaker 1: And will this take a long time? Could it move quickly?
30:05
Speaker 3: Well?
30:06
Speaker 2: The President has been instructed to appear in a federal
30:09
Speaker 2: courthouse in Miami on Tuesday of next week at three pm,
30:13
Speaker 2: So he will go there, presumably to be arraigned. He
30:15
Speaker 2: will plead not guilty, and then the proceedings could take
30:19
Speaker 2: a long time. I think in all likelihood these proceedings
30:23
Speaker 2: will not be over by election day. I think they're
30:26
Speaker 2: certainly not going to be over by the time of
30:29
Speaker 2: the primaries, by the Iowa caucuses, by New Hampshire, by
30:31
Speaker 2: South Carolina, and I think they could easily extend for years.
30:36
Speaker 3: Now.
30:36
Speaker 2: There's a chance the court throws us out.
30:40
Speaker 3: That's possible.
30:42
Speaker 2: But when you have this kind of Department of Justice prosecution,
30:46
Speaker 2: with this kind of major resources, the likely outcome is
30:50
Speaker 2: it will drag on for a long, long time and
30:54
Speaker 2: a big part of why DOJ is doing this. I
30:57
Speaker 2: don't think they really think they're going to convict the guy.
31:00
Speaker 2: I don't think Alvin Braggs really thinks that he's going
31:02
Speaker 2: to convict the guy. I think their objective is just
31:05
Speaker 2: to drag him in the mud, to crap all over him,
31:08
Speaker 2: and to attack him. It is an expression of hatred
31:13
Speaker 2: rather than a prosecution based on the facts. But in
31:18
Speaker 2: terms of timing, it could drag on potentially for years.
31:25
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of people that claim to be
31:28
Speaker 1: conservatives who have been saying, over the last several hours, center, well,
31:33
Speaker 1: this is the reason why we should, you know, move
31:35
Speaker 1: on from Trump as fast as we can. In the primary,
31:37
Speaker 1: he quote now has too much baggage. Your reaction that
31:41
Speaker 1: because my thought is you are innocent until proven guilty
31:45
Speaker 1: and everything. In the past they've accused Donald Trump up
31:48
Speaker 1: and impeached him on not once but twice. None of
31:51
Speaker 1: it was true, and still Dotsier wasn't true, the collusion
31:55
Speaker 1: wasn't true. The list goes on and on, and when
31:59
Speaker 1: people say, well, it's just too much baggage, that's exactly
32:01
Speaker 1: what the Democrats these communists want, is for people to say, hey,
32:06
Speaker 1: if we can bury a Republican, whether it's in West Virginia,
32:10
Speaker 1: whether it's the presidential race, if we can take out
32:13
Speaker 1: front runners running for governor or Senate in different races
32:16
Speaker 1: by saying they quote have too much baggage, then we
32:19
Speaker 1: win every election.
32:21
Speaker 2: Well, I think the voters are going to decide that.
32:24
Speaker 2: But I think here's what Democrats believe. I think I
32:28
Speaker 2: think Democrats believe these indictments help Donald Trump in the
32:32
Speaker 2: primary and hurt him in the general election.
32:36
Speaker 3: When Alvin Bragg brought.
32:37
Speaker 2: His indictments, you and I did an emergency podcast. We
32:41
Speaker 2: did it within hours of the indictment. We put it
32:43
Speaker 2: out very very quickly, and that night, what I predicted
32:48
Speaker 2: is that would be a ten point bump in the polls.
32:52
Speaker 3: That proved exactly right.
32:54
Speaker 2: Trump went up ten points. Prior to that, Trump and
32:57
Speaker 2: DeSantis had been relatively close in the But when Alvin
33:01
Speaker 2: Bragg brought.
33:02
Speaker 3: That utterly frivolous.
33:03
Speaker 2: Garbage indictment, my comment at the time is that may
33:07
Speaker 2: have been the single greatest in kind contribution to the
33:09
Speaker 2: Trump campaign into any political campaign in the history of
33:13
Speaker 2: the Federal Elections Commission. I think Democrats believe that indictment
33:18
Speaker 2: in this indictment will benefit Trump in the primary, but
33:22
Speaker 2: I think Democrats also believe it will hurt Trump in
33:25
Speaker 2: the general election. I think they believe that if they
33:28
Speaker 2: throw so much mud at Trump that it may make
33:32
Speaker 2: general election voters less likely to vote for him. And look,
33:36
Speaker 2: you got to view this from the perspective of a
33:38
Speaker 2: hardcore partisan Democrat. If you want Joe Biden to get reelected,
33:44
Speaker 2: you can't.
33:45
Speaker 3: Run on his record.
33:46
Speaker 2: His record is terrible. You can't run on the economy,
33:48
Speaker 2: you can't run an immigration, you can't run a foreign policy,
33:51
Speaker 2: you can't run an Afghanistan, you can't run on crime.
33:55
Speaker 2: Like everything Biden has touched substantively has gone to crap.
34:00
Speaker 2: So your only hope, and I think this is the
34:03
Speaker 2: entire Democrat political strategy, is to hide Joe Biden in
34:07
Speaker 2: the basement. Because you certainly can't have him talk to
34:09
Speaker 2: the American people because he's not up to it. But
34:12
Speaker 2: your hope is to hide him in the basement and
34:14
Speaker 2: run an entire campaign attacking Donald Trump. And I think
34:17
Speaker 2: Democrats believe the more times they have partisan and biased
34:21
Speaker 2: prosecutors indicting Trump, the more they'll be able to throw.
34:25
Speaker 3: Mod at him.
34:27
Speaker 2: I'm skeptical that that's going to work, but I think
34:29
Speaker 2: that's what their strategy is.
34:31
Speaker 1: I want to ask you one last question about some
34:33
Speaker 1: breaking news it's come out of the Biden bribery allegations.
34:38
Speaker 1: There is one thing here that we now know that
34:42
Speaker 1: has been leaked, and apparently Joe Biden allegedly got paid
34:46
Speaker 1: five million by a Barisma executive as part of the
34:50
Speaker 1: bribery scheme, according to the FBI document. Now, before we
34:55
Speaker 1: get to that, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
34:56
Speaker 1: If you're like me and you're just sick and tired
34:58
Speaker 1: of giving your money to woke companies that go after
35:02
Speaker 1: your family values, well, for years, when it comes to
35:05
Speaker 1: your cell phone service, you just had to go with
35:08
Speaker 1: the big companies. You didn't have another option. It didn't exist,
35:12
Speaker 1: not anymore. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
35:17
Speaker 1: They offer you dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.
35:24
Speaker 1: What does that mean? You get the same great coverage
35:26
Speaker 1: you're used to. You can get even maybe better coverage,
35:30
Speaker 1: and you have right now without the woke propaganda push
35:34
Speaker 1: by leftist working hard to destroy this country. Now, when
35:37
Speaker 1: you switch to Patriot Mobile. You're supporting free speech and
35:41
Speaker 1: religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, our military,
35:45
Speaker 1: our veterans, and even helping with adoptions. They are a
35:49
Speaker 1: company that when you pay your bill every month, they
35:52
Speaker 1: actually get back a portion of your bill without any
35:55
Speaker 1: extra cost to you to these causes. They're one hundred
35:58
Speaker 1: percent US based customers of his team, making switching easy.

36:20
Speaker 1: We got more information. Biden's son Hunter was obviously a
36:24
Speaker 1: board member Barisma pretty much. I think everybody knows that
36:28
Speaker 1: he's also allegedly in on this scheme in this FBI document.
36:33
Speaker 1: But now we know that President Joe Biden was allegedly
36:36
Speaker 1: paid five million by an executive of the Ukrainian natural
36:39
Speaker 1: gas firm Barisma Holdings, where his son Hunter Biden also
36:42
Speaker 1: said on the board. This confidential human source, a highly
36:46
Speaker 1: trusted source told the FBI, apparently during a June twenty
36:49
Speaker 1: twenty interview. Sources familiar have now said to Fox News
36:54
Speaker 1: the source brief Foxnews on the contents of the FBI
36:57
Speaker 1: generated FD one zero two three form a judging a
37:00
Speaker 1: criminal bribery scheme between then Vice President Joe Biden and
37:04
Speaker 1: a foreign national that involved influence over US policy. What's
37:09
Speaker 1: interesting about this coming out is Vice President Joe Biden
37:13
Speaker 1: clearly was in a position, in his own words, to
37:18
Speaker 1: influence natural gas positions and loans government a dollars going
37:24
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. This is extremely damning just on the face
37:29
Speaker 1: of it.
37:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, if this is true, it is shocking. And this
37:36
Speaker 2: is the first I'm hearing of it, Like as you're
37:38
Speaker 2: reading it to me in the midst of this podcast,
37:41
Speaker 2: I haven't read this article yet. I haven't seen this information.
37:43
Speaker 2: This is breaking literally this moment. But you know, I
37:48
Speaker 2: will say, Joe Biden, by his own description and by
37:51
