00:04:07.880And so that's why we're going to go ahead and defund this special counsel.
00:04:14.400It's Thursday, 27 July, Year of the Lord 2023.
00:04:17.640We want to start with Congressman Matt Rosendale.
00:04:20.440Congressman, give us the latest state of play from what you're hearing and then what you and Gaetz and others are working on.
00:04:27.060Congressman Burleson's got an interesting thing about all the conflicts of interest of Jack Smith.
00:04:34.280Is this a rearguard action, too little, too late, or are we on top of things?
00:04:39.980Well, it's late, but it's not too late in the game, Steve.
00:04:45.360Right now, actually, it sort of comes together at a good time because we are going through the appropriations process.
00:04:50.440We are developing all the appropriations bills, and it is a perfect time for us to be able to go in and remove this funding from the Department of Injustice, as they have commonly become known as around Washington, D.C.
00:05:05.600We've got a major problem with Jack Smith.
00:05:08.060He is pursuing yet another investigation of President Trump that is completely unwarranted.
00:05:17.540Here we've got the only person—I mean, I just listened to the clips that you had, these people talking about security and making sure that we have additional security around courthouses and things like that.
00:05:30.960President Trump is the only person who tried to bring in additional National Guard troops around the Capitol because he knew there was going to be extra people, not that anybody was going to get out of hand.
00:05:42.480But as the speaker said, you bring additional people to manage the crowds.
00:05:46.980The only thing we've seen come out of the Department of Justice is additional surveillance of people that want to utilize their rights of free speech.
00:05:58.580Meanwhile, after President Trump offered up that additional security, we all know now that Nancy Pelosi denied it.
00:06:29.400Jackson case, OK, when the Supreme Court was getting ready to roll out that decision, and was any kind of additional security provided around the justices' homes or around when they went to work?
00:06:55.460It's another unwarranted investigation of the president.
00:07:00.020And so this is a tool that we can use to restore justice to America.
00:07:07.680The Daily Mail has an absolute brutal story.
00:07:11.600And remember, that's not a MAGA newspaper at all, the biggest newspaper really in the world.
00:07:15.420They have a brutal story as their lead about how Hunter Biden's—believe it or not, their attorney actually tried to slide into the documents, giving him blanket immunity.
00:07:26.640He would never be investigated, never be questioned for anything else when that blew up yesterday.
00:07:30.740But we know the DOJ tried to slip in something that was unconstitutional.
00:07:34.380This was a progressive liberal judge that had to call it out.
00:07:37.800What's your assessment of DOJ's performance in this Hunter Biden investigation?
00:07:46.920And again, now this is where we see the two-tiered system on full display, Steve.
00:07:51.940And that is why the American people are very upset.
00:07:56.500And while Congress investigates and exposes and provides oversight, we don't get to charge and prosecute.
00:08:03.140We do respect the different branches of government.
00:08:06.440And that is up to the Department of Justice to charge and to prosecute.
00:08:11.400But if they are not going to or if they are going to utilize different methods for some people than they are for others,
00:08:17.800then the only way to change that is to change the leadership and to do it through the financing of the agency.
00:08:26.160And that's where Congress does have, as we always hear, the power of the purse string.
00:08:30.060It still has to go over to the United States Senate to make sure that they will implement the ideas and the concepts, policies, and the budgets that we send over.
00:08:39.080But we can utilize the power of the purse string to get rid of the bad actors.
00:08:45.140And I really think that that is what we need to do.
00:08:47.860There's just too many of them that are not acting in the best interest of this country and certainly not honoring their oath of office.
00:09:46.280And what we're trying to do is count votes and to figure out, do we have enough votes to begin these impeachment inquiries on people like Christopher Wright, like Secretary Mayorkas, because they are causing great damage, not only to our country because of the actions that they're taking,
00:10:03.700but they're causing great harm to our country too because of the loss of confidence in the institutions that people are beginning to have because they witness these terrible things that are going on.
00:10:17.260That's what bothers me as much as anything.
00:10:19.660I mean, when I look at the southern border, we know that we're talking about nearly 6 million people that have come into the country illegally that have had encounters with law enforcement.
00:10:28.120We've got another million and a half that have not had encounters.
00:10:31.560That's the getaways that we always hear about.
00:10:36.840And then when we see the documents that have been falsified, the FISA court system that has been so abused, and the FBI conducting surveillance on American people wrongfully, and then bringing charges against people wrongfully, it's disturbing.
00:11:33.920We made an agreement that we wanted to have a freeze in the amount of spending that was going to take place.
00:11:38.600And leadership had gone along with us.
00:11:42.200And quite frankly, the conference went along with us, Steve, back when we actually passed the first debt ceiling package with Republicans, with 218 Republicans, that we were going to freeze the non-defense discretionary spending at the 20, basically what is the 2019 levels, which is $1.471 trillion.
00:12:04.520And so we have 11 more appropriation bills.
00:12:08.300We have targets, target values on each one of those bills.
00:12:12.020And if leadership tries to bring a bill forward from appropriations out to the floor that doesn't meet one of those targets for those bills, then basically we're going to have to hold the system up, hold the process up until we can see that that bill or bring another one on that shows it's going to be reduced more in order to compensate for that.
00:12:34.620So that we know we're going to hit that target of the $1.471 trillion on non-defense discretionary spending.
00:12:42.040And we are going to be – I know that I'm going to be very, very stubborn, if you will, about holding that level of spending.
00:12:53.060Do you think Kevin McCarthy and leadership have the guts right now?
00:12:59.040Because September 30th is going to be on us as soon as you guys get back.
00:13:04.120Are they going to force Biden to shut down the government or are we going to get a continuing resolution, which is, you know, the road to perdition?
00:13:30.120The more moderate Republicans within the conference want to spend $6.8 trillion, so about $100 billion less.
00:13:39.880And all we are trying to do, the conservatives within the conference are trying to get down to $6.7.
00:13:47.440My gosh, we're only going to bring in, Steve, $5 trillion worth of revenue if everything goes really, really good.
00:13:55.040And you are telling me we can't find $100 billion of reductions in spending over above what they've already tried to do out of $6.8 trillion?
00:18:16.100The most politically persecuted man in history is now expecting another indictment.
00:18:21.160His attorneys were with the DOJ today, so it could drop today, could drop tomorrow morning.
00:18:26.120And Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden's lawyers are acting in conjunction with the DOJ like they're one big defense team.
00:18:37.060His lawyers ring up the court impersonating a congressional staffer to try and get an 800-page amicus brief sealed from the docket so nobody knows what Hunter actually did.
00:18:50.980And then a plea deal which gives him universal immunity from prosecution against any other charge.
00:19:02.620You know, somebody, a wise person, said on my show, stop using the phrase two-tiered justice system because once you've got more than one tier, there is no justice system.
00:19:13.940I never thought I'd say this as the child of those who literally escaped a communist dictatorship.
00:19:19.420My father liberated from a communist political prison.
00:19:22.960We have a political police force in America.
00:19:31.080And sadly, Steve, you remember what it was like in the White House.
00:19:34.340I loved the Secret Service guys, especially the uniformed officers.
00:19:38.860Captain Mark on the front desk, we salute you.
00:19:41.600But the fact that the Secret Service, not only we know whose bag of Coke it is, they shut down the investigation.
00:19:48.420They say they can't find it in the most secure building in the world.
00:19:52.120Not only that, if you read it, I've got it here.
00:19:55.440The details of the plea deal with Hunter Biden, the Secret Service goes and cleans up the mess, goes to the FFL, the federally licensed firearm dealer, to try and get the forms for Hunter Biden's illegal handgun purchase.
00:20:11.380Steve, what is the Secret Service doing cleaning up the felonies of the president's son?
00:20:22.240The Daily Mail, as you know, not a MAGA paper, but they put up tons of great stories.
00:20:27.420The lead story, the lead story, sub, exclusive.
00:20:31.360And the headline is, not so fast, boys.
00:20:33.540Hunter Biden's full plea deal transcript and how the sneaky lawyers tried to hide claws, giving him blanket immunity in a crazy, unprecedented tactic until the female progressive judge smelled a rat and called a DOJ had to know about that.
00:20:51.360And they also had to know and they had to agree to this unconstitutional assertion of the judge to be the referee because they feared President Trump could come back.
00:20:58.920Have you ever seen anything in your life like the fiasco that was in Delaware yesterday, sir?
00:21:05.540I had Jesse Binal on previously today on my show.
00:21:09.200I had Jodie Jennifer on Newsmax yesterday.
00:21:13.540I mean, you've got to read the transcripts of what happened in the courtroom, how they actually said, well, I guess we should just rip up the plea deal.
00:21:22.660And the judge, who, by the way, let's be clear here, I'm not asserting at all that she's any kind of MAGA loyalist, but this is a lifetime appointment.
00:21:30.600And once you're a federal judge, you don't have to be a political, but if they try and screw with you, whoever they are, they may bring down the hammers of hell on you simply because you're screwing with a federal judge.
00:21:44.640She actually used the phrase, Steve, what do you expect me to do?
00:22:06.120This is Hunter Biden's original plea deal.
00:22:09.520And it's interesting because the reports by Daily Mail and others were that Hunter Biden was going to walk into the court in Wilmington and plead not guilty, which is really interesting.
00:22:19.420Because line one, the defendant waives any challenge to the information based on venue and agrees to plead guilty.
00:22:28.940And here's the, just in case you missed that, line one, here's line four.
00:22:33.860The defendant is pleading guilty to counts one and two because he is, in fact, guilty.
00:22:41.840So I thought, I thought he was innocent.
00:22:46.560I thought Joe Biden told us that his son has never done anything wrong.
00:22:51.260I don't want to get lost in the weeds.
00:22:52.940This stuff is fun to report and break news on.
00:22:55.120But, you know, Natalie Winters said this to me, and she's absolutely right, your co-host.
00:23:01.920We shouldn't be talking about any of this.
00:23:04.040$1.2 million of unpaid taxes, a felony gun purchase.
00:23:09.480The real issue is China, China, China.
00:23:13.440If you read the plea deal, it lists all the monies accrued to this man by the Chinese clients.
00:23:21.480I'll read one of them just to get the conspiracy theorists really excited.
00:23:25.640One of the Chinese payments to Hunter Biden was for the sum, you'll love this, of $666,666.
00:24:44.740My engineer is printing it now because this is the amicus brief that they lied to stop being put on the docket impersonating a Senate staffer.
00:24:55.380I'm going to read it so we can share it with you and your viewers, but this is what we have to get to the bottom of.
00:25:03.320Seb, real quickly, because I know you've got to bounce, about the impeachment inquiries.
00:25:14.340Cash was in here today saying, no, no, let's take Ray and Garland because that's where the target-rich environment is.
00:25:19.920Do you think it was smart for them to leave town without initiating this?
00:25:23.360And where would Seb Gorka put the center of gravity of his investigation, sir?
00:25:29.540Look, I would be very weary, leery of questioning Cash because he's such an expert and former assistant, director of national intelligence.
00:25:41.140But I think he'd agree with me that these people – I mean, look at Ray.
