Joe Biden has repeatedly said that he never knew anything about his son Hunter's business dealings. But as more and more evidence emerges, it becomes clear that Joe Biden was in on it. And as more people around Hunter Biden are called to testify, and as more records emerge showing people openly talking about attempting to bribe Joe Biden via Hunter, impeachment is on the table. Inside the next year, there will be impeachment inquiries into Joe Biden, and there will probably be an impeachment vote inside the next decade on Joe Biden because of the corruption that is pretty obviously engulfing the Biden family. And now, we can go through the entire timeline, and now it s increasingly appears that Joe was on board with it all along with his son, Hunter Biden. And we can all begin to see that Joe is not just an innocent elderly gentleman, he s also an amazing father who cares deeply about his drug-addicted son. And that s the only reason why he has been squiring Hunter around, or rather, squiring him around. Their connection is purely on the up-and-up, and any accusations of Biden family corruption involving Joe Biden are absolutely out of bounds, and you shouldn t be talking about them and you should not be allowed to talk about them, because they are wrong, and they re wrong. And you re not just innocent, you re wrong they re a criminal, and should be impeached And that's the only way to stop them from ever being impeached, right? by the people who know the truth about what they know, not the ones who do the right thing, and the wrong thing to do, right the ones they know the right way to do right, the ones that matter the most right and the ones to do the best not the things they need to do them the most, the truth they do the most right . in order to do their best to do what they can, right, and that s right, not only to do it right, but the truth that matters so they can do the least they can be fair and fair, and not the best, and have the most effective, the most honest and fair and the most ethical thing they can at all of their best, right and the best in the most transparent way possible including the most fair and most ethical and fair things to do everything they can in the best way possible.
00:00:00.000So, Joe Biden is not just an innocent elderly gentleman, he's also an amazing father who cares deeply about his drug-addicted son, Hunter, and that is the only reason why he has been squiring Hunter around, or rather, Hunter has been squiring him around.
00:00:13.000Their connection is purely on the up-and-up, and any accusations of Biden family corruption involving Joe Biden are absolutely out of bounds.
00:00:20.000They are wrong, and you shouldn't talk about them.
00:00:22.000This is the narrative you've heard over and over again.
00:00:25.000And Joe Biden has repeated this narrative over and over and over.
00:00:28.000So, for example, Joe Biden has been asked at this point about a thousand times about Hunter Biden's businesses because Hunter Biden, for a decade, made money by running around planet Earth, picking up giant bags of cash, and then doing God knows what.
00:00:48.000In fact, a lot of those questions were at the center of Donald Trump's first impeachment inquiry when Donald Trump called up the president of Ukraine and asked him to look into allegations of corruption involving Burisma, which is paying Hunter Biden something like $83,000 a month while Joe Biden was vice president and presiding over the foreign policy of the United States with regard to Ukraine.
00:01:06.000Remember, that resulted in Donald Trump being impeached for the first time.
00:01:09.000Well, these serious questions have been swirling about Hunter and Joe Biden for a long time.
00:01:13.000And every single time Joe Biden has said, I never knew a damn thing about my son's business.
00:01:48.000I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life.
00:01:53.000We learned that this president paid 50 times the tax in China, has a secret bank account with China, does business in China, and in fact is talking about me taking money?
00:02:06.000I have not taken a single penny from any country whatsoever, ever.
00:02:37.000We can go through the entire timeline.
00:02:39.000And now it increasingly appears that Joe was in on it.
00:02:42.000And as more and more people around Hunter Biden are called to testify, and as more and more records emerge showing people openly talking about attempting to bribe Joe Biden via Hunter, Impeachment is going to be on the table.
00:02:59.000There will probably be an impeachment vote inside the next year on Joe Biden because of the corruption that is pretty obviously engulfing the Biden family here.
00:03:08.000Devon Archer is the latest person who is set to testify to the House Republican Oversight Committee.
00:03:15.000Three times they've moved this testimony.
00:03:16.000Devon Archer and Hunter formed Rosemont Seneca Partners back in 2009 along with Christopher Hines, the son-in-law of former Senator John Kerry.
00:03:24.000He and Hunter served as managing partners of the firm.
00:03:27.000Archer and Hines had been college roommates at Yale.
00:03:29.000Archer and Hunter Biden, according to the UK Daily Mail, each landed lucrative seats on the board of Burisma, despite Hunter not having any expertise in the field, despite him being a drug addict so bad that he was kicked out of the United States Navy.
00:03:40.000The firm brought in a reported $11 million through the arrangement based on information gleaned from Hunter's infamous laptop.
00:03:46.000They're photographed golfing with then Vice President Biden back in 2014.
00:03:49.000And now Devan Archer is expected to talk with the House Oversight Committee.
00:03:55.000His interview is supposed to take place behind closed doors, according to an aide who noted such appearances are usually led by committee staff.
00:04:01.000Panel Chair James Comer, who issued the subpoena, says he will testify about, quote, all the times he saw Biden meet with Hunter's business associates.
00:04:07.000Following reports, Hunter made a habit of putting his dad on speakerphone in a possible bid to impress potential partners and clients.
00:04:13.000And that comes after Comer and other top Republicans have repeatedly accused Joe Biden of taking part in crimes, but failing so far to produce the hard evidence.
00:04:19.000But here is the evidence that is coming.
00:04:22.000Hey, so let me just begin with this, and this is the statement that should hover over everybody's imagination when you're talking about Joe and Hunter Biden.
00:04:29.000First of all, Joe knew full well that Hunter Biden was a drug addict.
00:04:32.000First rule of drug addicted family members or friends, deprive them of money because they use the money to buy drugs.
00:04:39.000Instead, he lent his name, and apparently Air Force Two, to his son so that they could run around while Hunter picked up bags of cash.
00:04:46.000Here is the statement that should hover in everyone's mind as we examine the timeline here of the relationship between Hunter and foreign businesses and his dad, who is now the President of the United States and was Vice President for much of this.
00:05:00.000This is a text from Hunter Biden to his daughter in 2019.
00:05:03.000It's on the infamous Hunter Biden laptop, the non-Russian disinformation laptop that Hunter Biden, drug addicted derelict, left at a computer repair store.
00:05:13.000Quote, I hope you can all do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years.
00:05:49.000Or does that sound like that has the ring of truth about it?
00:05:52.000In just one second, we're going to go through the full timeline here because there is now mounting evidence that not only was Hunter obviously speaking with Joe about all this.
00:05:59.000In fact, we know that he was speaking with Joe about all of this.
00:06:02.000Dan Goldman, who is a Democratic congressperson, essentially spilled as much the other day in an open hearing.
00:08:04.000I'll explain why, because we're going to go through the entire timeline here, and we are also going to go through some of the documents that have now been provided by confidential human sources, talking about what the Ukrainians, for example, were saying about Joe and Hunter Biden.
00:08:18.000And we'll talk about what exactly Devon Archer has already said, and what Tony Bobulinski, another business partner of Hunter Biden's, has said.
00:08:26.000So, on November 1st, 2013, there's a timeline that's been put together by the House Oversight Committee.
00:08:32.000On November 1st, 2013, Hunter Biden and some of his friends created ChinaBHR.
00:08:40.000China BHR was a Chinese investment firm, Bohai Harvest RST Equity Investment Fund.
00:08:46.000It was controlled by the Bank of China.
00:08:47.000It was focusing on M&A and investment in and reforms of state-owned enterprise.
00:08:52.000In December of 2013, Vice President Biden traveled with Hunter Biden on Air Force Two to China and met the CEO of the company, Jonathan Lee.
00:09:02.000Shortly thereafter, BHR's business license was approved and Hunter Biden was magically a board member.
00:09:08.000So understand that the way that it works when it comes to foreign corruption is foreign states believe that access to high-ranking American officials means that they are going to get sweetheart deals.
00:09:17.000The reason they believe this is because in their own country, this is in fact how it works.
00:09:20.000If you're in China and you want to get something done, you're going to have to go to the top levels of the Politburo.
00:09:24.000You're going to have to talk with members of the CCP.
00:09:27.000And if high-ranking political members of the CCP approve a thing, that means that you're going to get special benefits.
00:09:31.000And so the Chinese assume that the same thing works in the United States.
00:09:34.000That if you have access to Joe Biden, that means that magically you're going to get sweetheart treatment in the United States.
00:09:40.000This is why they're constantly attempting to buy access to American politicians.
00:09:44.000Even though connection with an American senator is worth like a cup of coffee, the reality is you can be connected to a thousand, a bunch of American senators.
00:09:51.000And it may make no difference to your business's future.
00:09:53.000You may be connected to a lot of politicians and it won't do anything.
00:09:56.000If you live in a foreign corrupt country where you have to know a high-ranking member of the government to get anything done, knowing high-ranking members of the American government you think is going to get things done.
00:10:03.000So, do you think it's a coincidence that November of 2013, Hunter Biden starts a fund with the Chinese government effectively, and one month later, Joe is squiring Hunter there and meeting with the CEO of this brand new fund.
00:10:19.000And then it's getting greenlit by the Chinese.
00:10:24.000Kenz Rakashev, a Kazakhstani businessman, meets with Hunter Biden at a hotel in Washington, D.C.
00:10:30.000In April of 2014, Burisma appoints Hunter, business associate to their board of directors, being paid something like $83,000 a month for nothing.
00:11:04.000Literally at the same time this is happening.
00:11:06.000So April 15th, 2014 is when Hunter is appointed to the board of BRISMA.
00:11:12.000And now, April 22nd, 2014, you have Joe Biden talking about corruption in Ukraine.
00:11:18.000And not only that, this becomes now a running theme.
00:11:21.000Joe Biden is going to run foreign policy in Ukraine.
00:11:23.000As we'll see, this has some pretty significant ramifications for how Burisma runs its business and how the money flows.
00:11:29.000It's a delicate thing to say to a group of leaders in their House of Parliament, but you have to fight the cancer of corruption that is endemic in your system right now.
00:11:47.000I remember going over convincing our team, or others too, convincing that we should be providing for loan guarantees, and I went over I guess the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
00:12:06.000And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.
00:12:15.000So they said they were walking out to the press conference and said, no, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
00:12:27.000I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
00:12:29.000Okay, so this is him openly saying the thing, as we will see, right?
00:12:36.000The thing that he is saying is that he basically crammed down on Ukraine the kind of deal that
00:12:43.000Donald Trump was accused of threatening the Ukrainians with and got impeached for the
00:12:48.000You remember then in that phone call, the perfect phone call of Vladimir Zelensky, you remember that Donald Trump appeared to say that he was thinking of withholding aid to Ukraine if they didn't dig up corruption on the Biden family.
00:12:59.000And everyone's like, whoa, that's quid pro quo.
00:13:21.000One, Viktor Shokin could have been corrupt, and a lot of people internationally could have wanted him to go.
00:13:25.000And two, Joe Biden could have seen an opportunity to do a favor for Burisma while getting rid of the guy with the plausible cover that everybody wanted the guy to go.
00:13:35.000We're going to continue going through the timeline.
00:13:36.000Because again, the more you see of the timeline and the more you see of the contemporaneous statements by people involved in Hunter Biden's business, the more damning this becomes.
00:13:42.000Joe Biden was being called into meetings.
00:14:09.000The whole idea is that if you're the most powerful person in an organization, you always have plausible deniability as to what your associates are doing.
00:14:15.000The money just magically enters your bank account.
00:14:18.000We'll get to more on this in just one second.
00:14:19.000First, we're days away from the Durbin Accords, the greatest threat to the U.S.
00:14:22.000dollar's global dominance in the past 80 years.
00:14:24.000This is when BRICS Nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa are expected to announce the launch of a new international super currency fully backed by gold and other commodities.
00:14:33.000That is in competition with the United States dollar, obviously.
00:14:36.000You can protect your IRA or 401k from the fallout from this announcement by diversifying with gold from Birch Gold.
00:14:41.000Historically, gold has been a safe haven in times of high uncertainty.
00:15:00.000If a central bank digital currency becomes a reality, well, you know you're going to want to diversify.
00:15:03.000By the way, diversification is just a smart strategy across the board.
00:15:06.000If you're afraid of inflation, if you're afraid of economic stagnation, then having at least some of your money in precious metals is a smart thing to do.
00:15:11.000It'll be nice to have some gold to depend on in hard times.
00:15:13.000Again, text Ben to 989898 to get started.
00:15:25.000Right, so we already found out that on April 22nd, a Singaporean company that was originally connected with a Kazakh standing businessman had wired $142,300 to a Rosemont Seneca entity.
00:15:39.000The next day after that, the Rosemont entity wired $142,300, the same amount, to a car dealership to buy a new sports car for Hunter Biden.
00:15:47.000Right, so there's money that's flowing directly to Hunter Biden.
00:15:51.000Meanwhile, China BHR, right, which is that original Chinese firm that Hunter formed with the Chinese government, essentially, and then took Air Force Two to China to make sure that all of that got greenlit.
00:16:02.000They invested $1.7 billion in a Chinese Communist government party linked petroleum and chemical company.
00:16:09.000And then in December of 2014, Hunter Biden and business invested almost $500,000 into BHR.
00:16:16.000And then in December of 2014, that Kazakhstani oil company and Burisma joined with the Chinese company to announce a transnational financial arrangement.
00:16:22.000So this is Hunter Biden basically brokering all of his connections, and now he's got the Kazakhstani oil company and Burisma and the Chinese government all working together.
00:16:30.000And then we move forward in 2015, and here's where things start to get really, really hot.
00:16:33.000This is where Joe Biden's involvement becomes pretty apparent.
00:16:37.000So, March 20th, 2015, Hunter Biden organizes a business dinner at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C., where he has his father stop by the dinner to meet a high-level Burisma official, Vadim Porzharsky.
00:16:50.000Hunter is now connecting his daddy in with the folks over at Burisma.
00:17:19.000The confidential human source who reported this to the FBI inquired whether Hunter Biden or Joe Biden told Zlochevsky he should retain Hunter Biden.
00:17:26.000And Zlochevsky replied, they both did.
00:17:29.000Okay, so according to Zlochevsky, a confidential human source now reporting this to the FBI, this is the document that Senator Chuck Grassley released this week.
00:17:37.000Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma, said that he paid money to the Bidens in order to obtain Joe Biden's support for Burisma.
00:17:44.000And we know that Hunter Biden was organizing dinners in March 2015, where he had his dad stop by to meet a high-level Burisma official, a guy named Vadim Porzharsky.
00:17:53.000September of 2015, BHR, that's the Chinese company, joined with another Chinese entity to acquire a U.S.-based automotive company in a deal reportedly worth $600 million.
00:18:04.000In November of 2015, Porosharsky, the guy who met Joe Biden, suggests that high-level U.S.
00:18:09.000officials come to Ukraine and talk with Viktor Shokin and President Petro Poroshenko about Mykola Zlochevsky's investigations.
00:18:16.000Zlochevsky, again, is the head of Burisma.
00:18:18.000Shokin was investigating Burisma and Burisma's owners, Zlochevsky, for fraud.
00:18:23.000Shokin is the Ukrainian government official Vice President Biden demanded that Poroshenko then fire.
00:18:28.000That is in November, early November of 2015.
00:18:31.000And as I say, according to the confidential human source, Zelensky is openly suggesting at this point that he is paying Hunter and Joe in 2015-2016.
00:18:40.000In November, a few days later, Amos Hochstein, a high-level U.S.
00:18:46.000government official working in the Obama-Biden administration, met with Hunter Biden to discuss Burisma.
00:18:51.000And then, Hochstein, a few days later, met with Vice President Biden in the West Wing.
00:18:56.000A few days, one day after that, Hochstein called Hunter Biden.
00:18:59.000So clearly, Hunter Biden is a player over here.
00:19:01.000And clearly, Hochstein is talking with both Hunter and Joe.
00:19:05.000November 13th, 2015, Joe Biden announces a trip to Ukraine to take place the first week of December of 2015, and things really heat up.
00:19:11.000November 14th, 2015, Porosharsky emails Hunter Biden confirmation the VP will be traveling to Ukraine.
00:19:18.000December 7th, 2015, Hunter and the CEFC chairman, Yixuan Ming, began communicating regarding a possible U.S.
00:20:08.000We'll get to Devon Archer's involvement in all of this in just a second, because we now have information from Devon Archer on Joe Biden's involvement in all of this.
00:20:15.000First, you know, all of this corruption, all of this ugliness makes it hard to sleep at night, but there is one way I can ensure that you get a better night's sleep, and that, of course, is to personalize your mattress.
00:20:24.000You personalize your coffee, why not your mattress?
00:20:26.000You're spending eight hours on your mattress every single night, so why not get it done the way you want it done with Helix Sleep?
00:20:31.000Helix has a brand new collection, Helix Elite.
00:20:34.000The Helix Elite Collection includes six different mattress models, each tailored for specific sleep positions and firmness preferences.
00:20:39.000I've had my Helix Sleep Mattress for, I don't know, at this point, six, seven years.
00:20:44.000It is the thing keeping me alive since we have many children and a dog.
00:20:46.000Nervous about buying a mattress online?
00:20:47.000Well, you don't have to be, because they have a sleep quiz that matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress for you.
00:20:52.000I've got firm but breathable, which is what I need.

00:20:58.000Your mattress will come directly to your door for free.
00:21:55.000Hunter is getting paid up the wazoo by Burisma to basically be a drunken, derelict prostitute using John, who snorts cocaine off the carpets, and happens to have the Biden last name.
00:22:06.000And the Burisma owners are like, yeah, we're connected to Joe and we're connected to Hunter, and so we'll make sure that Chokin gets in the neck.
00:22:13.000So, meanwhile, you have American officials talking with Hunter, and then going back to Joe, and they're like, you know who's really corrupt?
00:22:28.000I'll push for the ouster of Viktor Shokin.
00:22:31.000I'll push for him to get rid of that because, again, the entire international community wants the thing to happen.
00:22:35.000And if it just so happens that it's kind of good for Hunter and it's good for the company he's connected with and, you know, the people who I've talked to on speakerphone who I don't even recognize them.
00:22:41.000I mean, Hunter just puts me on the phone with people and I say hi.
00:22:46.000That's all Joe Biden's role in this is.
00:22:48.000He is just the shadowy figure who gets called on the phone every so often by his son.
00:22:53.000And as we'll see, Hunter is very fond of using this particular tactic.
00:22:57.000As we'll see when we fast forward to 2017 in China, he uses this particular tactic quite openly.
00:23:01.000We have evidence that he uses this tactic quite openly.
00:23:10.000VP Biden meets with Petro Poroshenko, then the President of Ukraine, at the World Economic Forum, and Biden reinforces the linkage between the loan guarantee and the necessary reforms.
00:23:19.000The next month, Mikolas Lovchevsky, again, the head of BRISMA, according to Confidential Human Source, thinks Hunter Biden is dumber than his dog, gives Hunter Biden unspecified extravagant birthday gifts.
00:23:30.000A few days later, Biden and Poroshenko conduct another call.
00:23:35.000Meanwhile, Poroshenko is asking Shokin to resign.
00:24:01.000Okay, so now we're getting to the period where Joe Biden is out of office.
00:24:05.000So what is Joe Biden going to do now that he's out of office?
00:24:07.000And the answer is Hunter is going to go shake down the Chinese on the basis that China is going to be connected to Joe and Joe still has a lot of connections.
00:24:19.000BHR invests $460 million, that's the Chinese company of which Hunter is a part, invests $460 million in a Chinese facial recognition company.
00:24:29.000In February of 2017, Chairman Yi Zhenming of CEFC gives Hunter Biden a diamond worth 80 grand after having dinner together in Miami, Florida.
00:24:40.000On March 1st, 2017, Chairman Yi Zhenming's company wires $3 million to Robinson Walker, LLC.
00:24:48.000That is an entity owned by a Biden associate, Rob Walker.
00:24:54.000A couple of days later, Robinson Walker wires unspecified Biden accounts $5,000.
00:24:57.000And then a few days after that, another $25,000.
00:24:59.000And then a few days after that, another $25,000.
00:25:00.000And then a little bit later, again, this is all in the month of March, another $50,000.
00:25:05.000Okay, so just during March, Robinson Walker wires accounts associated with Joe Biden $200,000.
00:25:41.000These are large amounts of money that are being wired by associates of Hunter Biden to Hunter Biden via the Chinese.
00:25:47.000We're talking hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:25:50.000In May of 2017, Joe Biden attends a CEFC meeting at the Four Seasons in LA, according to a Biden family member associate.
00:25:57.000So, This is, I presume, what Tony Bobulinski is talking about.
00:26:01.000Bobulinski says, So hundreds of thousands of dollars are now going from the Chinese to Rob Walker's company and from Rob Walker's company to Hunter Biden and James Biden.
00:26:36.000This is the very famous email from Hunter's laptop mentioning 10 held by H for the big guy.
00:26:42.000Now we know from a variety of other documents that the big guy generally refers to Joe Biden.
00:26:47.000So again, the idea here is that Hunter is holding, in escrow essentially, a bunch of money or could be, if the deal goes through, a bunch of money for Joe Biden.
00:27:13.000We would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.
00:27:16.000I am very concerned that the chairman has either changed his mind and broken our deal without telling me, or that he is unaware of the promises and assurances that have been made that have not been kept.
00:27:26.000Tell the director I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.
00:27:30.000And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this, other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that the man sitting next to me, and every person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction.
00:27:42.000All too often, people mistake kindness for weakness, and all too often, I am standing over the top of them saying, I warned you, from this moment until whenever he reaches me.
00:27:50.000Hunter Biden then continued, quote, okay, my friend, I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.
00:27:54.000I sure hope whatever you are doing is very, very, very important.
00:27:58.000So that is Hunter openly saying to Chinese business partners, make the money happen.
00:28:03.000I'm sitting here with my daddy and my daddy is very well connected and my daddy can make things happen that are very, very bad for you.
00:28:10.000A few days later, August 2nd, 2017, the arrangement between CEFC and the Biden family changes because the original Biden associates are now removed.
00:28:16.000Hunter Biden writes, quote, The chairman changed that deal after we met in Miami to a much more lasting and lucrative arrangement to create a holding company, 50% owned by me, 50% owned by him.
00:28:25.000Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream, but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family, and my family, is that we would also be partners in the equity and profits of the JV investments.
00:28:36.000The joint entity, a few days later, is formed, 50% owned by CEFC agent Gongwen Dong, who is a Chinese communist agent, and 50% owned by Hunter Biden.
00:28:46.000The next day in a WhatsApp exchange, Hunter Biden tells CFC associate Don quote,
00:28:49.000the Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership.
00:28:53.000And now the money starts flowing $100,000.
00:28:58.000$100,000 from CEFC to Hunter Biden's company, Owasco PC.
00:29:01.000CEFC, one day later, or four days later, wires $5 million to Hudson West III, which is another fund in which Hunter is associated.
00:29:18.000Patrick Koh, a CEFC agent in America, is arrested at JFK Airport on suspicion of bribery and money laundering on behalf of CEFC China.
00:29:27.000In March of 2018, Yi Zhenmeng, who is the head of CEFC, was detained by Chinese authorities for suspected economic crimes his whereabouts remain unknown.
00:29:42.000Okay, and remember, Hunter Biden says, quote, this is October of 2019, Hunter neither played a role in the formation or licensure of BHR nor owned any equity in it while his father was vice president.
00:29:52.000He served only as a member of its board of directors, where he joined based on his interest in seeking ways to bring Chinese capital to international markets.
00:30:59.000I mean, this is deeply suspicious stuff.
00:31:02.000Again, one of the IRS whistleblowers testifies it wasn't $11 million.
00:31:05.000He testified to $17.3 million from 2014 to 2019 in total foreign income streams through various shell companies to Hunter and his associates.
00:31:14.000That includes $3.1 million from Amania, $3 million from State Energy HK, a firm affiliated with the CCP and CEFC, another $3.7 million from CEFC-affiliated Hudson West III, and $6.5 million from Burisma.
00:31:30.000Of that $17.3 million, apparently Hunter received $8.3 million.
00:31:33.000The rest went to immediate family members and associates.
00:31:36.000Again, I read to you the text that Hunter Biden sent to his own daughter in 2019, quote, I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years.
00:32:18.000It's absurd on its face, and everybody knows it's absurd on its face.
00:32:21.000And when he's vice president and he's doing this sort of stuff, if he was actually affecting Ukraine policy based on this, which it appears he was, then that's actual bribery.
00:32:29.000That's the kind of stuff that people get impeached for.
00:32:31.000The stuff he was doing in 2017, which is influence peddling, isn't illegal.
00:32:37.000It also happens to be that Joe Biden was lying consistently to the American people.
00:32:40.000When he says over and over and over, I know nothing about my son's business dealings, while squaring his son personally on Air Force Two to China so he can pick up foreign bags of cash, that is obviously a lie.
00:32:50.000Because yesterday the White House gave away the game.
00:32:51.000So the White House press secretary, world's most untalented press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, she was specifically asked about Joe Biden saying he knew nothing about the businesses with his son.
00:35:41.000We'll get to one of the kickers here in just one second.
00:35:43.000First, in a world filled with uncertainty, it's crucial to be ready for whatever comes your way.
00:35:47.000Whether it's a natural disaster, a sudden emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, having a reliable food storage system can provide you with peace of mind and the assurance you and your loved ones will be well taken care of.
00:35:55.000Right now, MyPatriotSupply is offering 25% off a three-month food supply to help you stay prepared for anything.
00:38:21.000So one of the questions that's always been hanging over this is this pretty obvious money laundering routine where Hunter Biden is clearly selling these pieces to unspecified buyers who are allies of the Biden family.
00:38:29.000It's who are the people who are buying this?
00:38:31.000According to one report, Insider is reporting that L.A.
00:38:35.000real estate investor Elizabeth Hirsch Naftali, who has given tens of thousands of dollars to the political left, purchased a piece of Joe Biden's artwork.
00:38:42.000Several months after Hunter Biden's art went on sale, the President appointed Naftali to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.
00:39:05.000The report said it was not clear if the art she purchased came before or after she was appointed to the commission.
00:39:09.000Hunter Biden wrote in an email discovered on his abandoned laptop that he could have sway in who gets on the commission.
00:39:15.000So Hunter Biden literally wrote an email where he's like, you know, I could probably figure out who gets on the commission for the preservation of America's heritage abroad.
00:39:31.000Another owner of Hunter Biden's art is LA attorney Kevin Morris, who was recently spotted smoking a bong during a visit with the president's son.
00:40:56.000I think a lot of Democrats are getting pretty nervous about Biden.
00:40:58.000Not just because they think that he is actually falling apart as a human being, according to a new Harvard-Harris survey.
00:41:05.00059% of registered voters have doubts about the president's mental fitness.
00:41:08.000But it is, that by the way, includes 71% of independents who doubt Biden's mental fitness, and so do 24% of Democrats, according to this poll.
00:41:18.000I think that deep in the back of their minds, Democrats are getting a little worried about the fact that Joe is not actually all that clean, and he's never been all that clean.
00:41:27.000And so they're starting to, you can see it, they're starting to promote Kamala again.
00:41:31.000They're gonna try and make Fetch happen.
00:43:37.000So, first of all, the Republican debates are coming up.
00:43:40.000The first one is supposed to happen August 23rd, and that really is the kind of opportunity for somebody to start jumping in the polls is August 23rd.
00:43:47.000The problem is that Donald Trump has said he's not going to participate in the debates because why should he, as he says, because he is the frontrunner.
00:44:02.000So the people who qualified so far are DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:44:10.000Chris Christie says he wants to do it as well.
00:44:12.000Former Vice President Pence might not actually make the debate stage because you have to have at least 40,000 individual donors and 1% in three national polls of Republican voters.
00:44:21.000He doesn't have that number of donors yet, I think is the idea.
00:44:25.000But, if Trump's not on the stage, what difference does any of this make?
00:45:00.000Their latest lie is that Ron DeSantis is sponsoring some sort of curriculum here in the state of Florida that is anti-black, which is absurd.
00:45:06.000The African-American curriculum in the state of Florida was written by a commission largely comprised of black academics.
00:45:21.000Because there's a phrase in the curriculum saying that some slaves used skills that they learned while they were slaves to benefit themselves after they were slaves.
00:45:28.000That is not about the wonders of slavery.
00:45:30.000That's about the resiliency and amazing entrepreneurialism of the slaves.
00:45:36.000Clearly, it is not about the wonders of slavery, you idiots and you liars, because that is one.
00:45:41.000The other one is that apparently the curriculum talks about the white-on-black violence that occurred during particular race riots in the United States, as well as black-on-white violence that also occurred in some of these race riots.
00:45:51.000Okay, well, yeah, that's a thing that happened.
00:45:53.000I mean, you could pretend it didn't happen, but it absolutely did happen.
00:45:55.000Now, does that mean that the race riots were not based on white supremacy?
00:46:10.000And yet you're seeing the media pick up on this.
00:46:12.000Of course, of course, it's pretty obvious they think that Trump is the one that they can beat most easily.
00:46:16.000Here is Stephen A. Smith going after Ron DeSantis.
00:46:20.000But the more I see stories like this, the more it alerts me to the fact that Ron DeSantis, you don't need to be governor.
00:46:26.000I'm sorry, you don't need to be president either.
00:46:29.000The battles that he's fighting is just unconscionable.
00:46:33.000Why is the governor concerning himself with African-American studies?
00:46:38.000By the way, in the state of Florida, it's been being taught since 1994.
00:46:42.000Why are you concerning yourself with such things?
00:46:46.000And when it says here, because I want to make sure that I'm quoting it correctly, bars and structures and schools that suggest anyone is privileged or oppressed based on their race or skin color.
00:46:56.000Are you trying to deny the fact That white folks have been privileged compared to other races of people in this country?
00:47:15.000Stephen have been and have been and are not the same thing.
00:47:20.000Of course, white people were privileged based on their race in 1960.
00:47:23.000Are they privileged based on their race in 2023?
00:47:24.000I don't know, Stephen A. Smith, since you have a $13 million a year salary from ESPN.
00:47:31.000$13 million a year, this dude sitting here talking about how rough black people have it in the United States compared to white people overall in the United States.
00:47:44.000Meanwhile, Washington Post's Eugene Robinson doing the exact same thing.
00:47:47.000The number of lies that people will tell in order to go after a candidate, and by the way, it shows you what the media's actual agenda, what their actual agenda is.
00:47:56.000Because if their agenda were to stop Trump, they would presumably not be elevating Trump at the expense of his opponents.
00:48:02.000But that's precisely what they're doing.
00:48:40.000They're liars about the census, and they're liars about Trump.
00:48:42.000Here they are going after the census again, based on a lie.
00:48:45.000My conclusion is that Vice President Harris and our editorial board are right here, because not only in that passage, but in other passages as well, these standards seem to me to be attempting to sort of contextualize American slavery in the wrong context.
00:50:22.000Not on Joe Biden not being capable of doing his job.
00:50:26.000Not on his crap policies that are placing the American economy in a position of permanent stagnance and our foreign policy in a position of permanent weakness.
00:50:47.000Well, because the Israeli Knesset, the parliament over there, with a 64-vote majority, voted in favor of a law, an amendment to what they call the Basic Law, which is kind of the quasi-constitution, but not really, over in Israel, that says that the Supreme Court of Israel cannot simply overturn any executive or administrative action on the basis of quote-unquote reasonableness.
00:51:05.000So imagine that the President of the United States issued an executive order and the Supreme Court didn't determine whether it was inside the authority of the President, they just determined whether it was quote-unquote reasonable.
00:51:16.000Because this means that the Supreme Court is basically a dictatorship.
00:51:18.000They now get to use their own judgment of what is reasonable to substitute for an elected person or an elected body's judgment for what is reasonable.
00:51:29.000It makes them an actual legislature, just not elected.
00:51:31.000So, the originally proposed judicial reform package by Likud and by the majority in Israel was a lot more far-reaching than that.
00:51:38.000It allowed a change in how the Supreme Court justices were selected.
00:51:41.000It got rid of attorneys that existed within every bureaucratic department in Israel that allowed them to preemptively strike down pieces of legislation and other measures taken by those departments.
00:51:52.000The judiciary is extraordinarily powerful in Israel because it has irrigated to itself.
00:51:55.000It has simply usurped an extraordinary amount of power since the 1990s because basically the judiciary, which has been a preserve of the left in Israel for a very long time, saw the rise of the political right in Israel and said, we better grab a bunch of power right now to prevent the elected branches from taking that power later.
00:52:10.000And that's really what the battle in Israel is about.
00:52:12.000The real story in Israel is that the breakdown of the Israeli population is effective among the Jewish population is about 80% of the entire population of Israel is Jewish.
00:52:28.000About 40% is what you call Chiloni, which are people who are secular.
00:52:32.000And then the other 40%, it's really split right down the half, is people who would be considered Masorti, which means traditional.
00:52:37.000People who are Datil Umi, which would be like religious Zionist.
00:52:40.000And then people who are Haredi, which is like the ultra-Orthodox.
00:52:43.000And so the Chilonim, they serve disproportionately in the army, they pay a disproportionate share of the taxes, largely because the Haredim do not serve in the army and pay almost no tax because their income is too low.
00:52:53.000So the Chilonim have for a long time had sort of a tacit deal where it's like, we will pay the welfare and we will shoulder the burden, but we also get the political power.
00:53:01.000And now the demographics are turning against them and so they're freaking out about all of that.
00:53:05.000They're afraid, essentially, of a shift in Israel from their power to the power of the opposition.
00:53:10.000This election was a perfect example of that, because the opposition right now is secular parties, as well as Arab parties, and the coalition is essentially ultra-Orthodox parties, religious Zionist parties, and Likud.
00:53:25.000And what the fundamental debate is, is how Jewish is the state going to be, right?
00:53:29.000In terms of sort of religious precepts.
00:53:31.000So the idea of the left is that this is a state where a lot of Jews live, but it's basically run just like the United States or like any other liberal democracy.
00:53:39.000And the idea of the political right in Israel is that it's still going to be a liberal democracy, but it's going to have more Jewish elements of it.
00:53:45.000So for example, buses not running in particular areas on Sabbath.
00:53:49.000Or the ability of Haredim to have sex-segregated workspaces.
00:54:04.000The rift that is over judicial reform isn't over that, because the actual reform is pretty mild.
00:54:09.000And there are these mass protests, and they've been going on for months and months and months and months.
00:54:12.000And the idea was that the protesters were simply going to shut down the economy, shut down the roads, shut down everything until they got their way.
00:54:17.000This means the Israeli government can't abide this, especially because the reservists were saying they were not going to serve if the government did what it wanted to do.
00:54:24.000No country can survive a bunch of people who are not elected dictating to the elected government what the elected government should do.
00:54:30.000It means that elections have no meaning.
00:54:31.000So, of course, this thing had to pass.
00:54:33.000Now, I'll tell you one thing that didn't.
00:54:35.000So, not only did it have to pass, it's actually a good piece of legislation.
00:54:38.000The White House, the Biden White House, pathetically, actually sounded off on this piece of legislation.
00:54:43.000I'm not aware that the Biden White House does this routinely anywhere else except for Israel.
00:54:47.000Truly, there's no other Western Democratic ally of the United States where the United States sounds off on their internal politics.
00:54:53.000Joe Biden doesn't make statements about the economic policies of France.
00:54:57.000He doesn't make statements about the immigration policies of the UK.
00:55:00.000Only when it comes to Israel does he feel the necessity to actually speak out about all of this.
00:55:04.000The reason that so much of this divide is being exaggerated Is because of media coverage of the divide and politicians in Israel who, like politicians in America, have a stake in playing up the idea that we have reached crisis point and everything's on fire, that's why you have to support me.
00:55:36.000In the aftermath of this very mild judicial reform being passed.
00:55:40.000There's a Haredi party, an ultra-Orthodox party, called the United Torah Judaism Party, UTJ.
00:55:46.000And they proposed a basic law aimed at saying, quote, So instead of actually having to serve in the army, because the Haredim generally get religious exemptions, that was originally based on David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of the state of Israel, who is a secular, he made a deal with the ultra-Orthodox that in return for their support of the government, He would exempt, at the time, I think, I believe it was 600 yeshiva students from having to serve in the army.
00:56:13.000Today, that exemption is like 60,000 people a year being exempted.
00:56:16.000Just demonstrating, once again, all government programs get very, very large.
00:56:19.000In any case, there's been this basic conflict between the seculars and, by the way, the Dati Lumi and the Masorti against the Haredi, where the Haredi are saying that us studying in yeshiva all day, Talmud, is the equivalent of you serving in the army.
00:56:34.000Which, to my mind, is an incorrect and wrong position morally.
00:56:38.000From a Torah perspective, I think it's wrong.
00:56:40.000As an Orthodox Jew, I think it's wrong.
00:56:42.000Again, just go back to the Bible, and the fact is that pretty much everybody in the Bible is a warrior scholar.
00:56:46.000In any case, put aside the actual halakha, the Jewish law, of all of this, which, you know, I'm invested in, but I know a lot of my listeners don't care.
00:57:13.000Likud, which is the leading party in the majority, in a coalition with UTJ, says, quote, This is not on the table and will not be advanced.
00:57:26.000Another Haredi party, Shas, which is a Sephardic Haredi party, actually said that their party was in shock the proposal was even put forward without its knowledge or consent.
00:57:36.000So in other words, what the media are attempting to do is, of course, play up the exaggerated differences in order to jar more discontent.
00:57:44.000That's the basic idea here, and it's really gross.
00:58:11.000And you're gonna have to deal with that tomorrow.
00:58:13.000And you're gonna have to live in a country with those people tomorrow.
00:58:15.000And the same thing is true over in Israel.
00:58:17.000By the way, it's quite possible that over in Israel, after this law was passed by the sitting majority, It is quite possible at this point that that is going to be overturned by the Supreme Court.
00:58:28.000This is how crazy the system is in Israel.
00:58:30.000The Supreme Court could theoretically, on the basis of reasonableness, overturn a law saying they can't do that.
00:58:44.000So, if you look at Rotten Tomatoes, I have a basic rule about Rotten Tomatoes.
00:58:48.000The basic rule about Rotten Tomatoes is that if a movie clocks in at somewhere between 60% and 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, 60% and 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, it's very likely to be a good movie.
00:59:03.000If it clocks in at above 85%, particularly if it's a cotton candy movie, it's probably crap.
00:59:07.000And if it clocks in below 50%, it's probably crap.
00:59:10.000Okay, well, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny fall squarely in that category, right?
00:59:16.000It's 69% on Rotten Tomatoes right now.
01:00:11.000So it won't be long before you have Fred Astaire starring in things again, in all likelihood.
01:00:15.000The movie is predicated on the idea that Harrison Ford is 80 years old, and he's now living in 1969 America, and he has to go track down an artifact.
01:00:26.000But what the movie's really about is, is Harrison Ford a man out of time, right?
01:00:30.000Is Indiana Jones a man out of time, or can he find a place in this kind of new world that he's not used to inhabiting?
01:00:36.000Is there a reason for him to continue living?
01:00:38.000Because the premise of the movie is that they basically tried to undo the Shia LaBeouf.
01:00:42.000Of all of it, you remember that Shia LaBeouf was in, I believe, Crystal Skull.
01:00:46.000And Shia LaBeouf is now, he's been killed in the war, presumably the Vietnam War.
01:00:51.000And, uh, and so Indy has lost his son and he's broken up with his wife, Marion Jones.
01:00:57.000And, um, and so he, you know, has nothing to live for, basically, and he goes on this kind of one final adventure.
01:01:05.000There's a callback near the end of this movie.
01:01:07.000There's a callback near the end of this movie to Raiders.
01:01:10.000That is one of the best writing reversals I've seen in movies for a very, very long time.
01:01:14.000Like a reversal in a movie is where you say a line in a particular way and later there's a callback to the line but in a completely different way.
01:01:21.000There's a reversal at the end of this movie that is really one of the most beautiful reversals I've seen in a movie in years.
