00:02:45.000From my direct personal experience and what I've subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was the brand being sold by the Biden family.
00:02:54.000His family's foreign influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.
00:03:05.000Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business.
00:03:09.000He was an active, aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself to further the business, despised being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.
00:03:24.000If there's no evidence of corruption here today, if Joe's conduct and the conduct of his family were fully legal and proper, then why are they so dishonest about it?
00:03:33.000Not just slight misrepresentations of fact, but deep untruths about the entire corrupt enterprise.
00:03:41.000Hunter Biden gave his transcribed interview on February 28th and lied throughout his testimony.
00:03:46.000Here's just one egregious example of Hunter's perjury.
00:03:51.000He lied to the committee on important details concerning his money demands and threats to CFC in text messages on July 30th and 31st, 2017. He leveraged his father's presence next to him in that infamous text to strong-arm CFC to paying Hunter immediately.
00:04:09.000Jim Biden also lied extensively throughout his transcribed interview on February 21st and perjured himself.
00:04:17.000An example of that, on page 100 of his transcript, Jim is asked specifically, do you recall having a meeting with Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, and Joe Biden?
00:04:31.000The committee was so shocked by his perjury that they asked him the same question multiple times, each time he denied meeting with me and Joe Biden.
00:04:41.000After the committee showed him text messages confirming that I met with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Jim Biden at the Beverly Hilton in May 2017, Jim Biden, with a former U.S. attorney lawyer sitting next to him, still denied that meeting took place.
00:04:58.000Hunter Biden, in his own transcribed interview, confirmed that that meeting took place.
00:05:03.000Hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this committee.
00:05:08.000I'm simply here to tell the truth to the American people, and I hope each and every one of you, congressmen and women, give me the opportunity to do that instead of focusing on Russia or smearing my family's name or focusing on facts that are irrelevant today.
00:05:29.000We are live broadcasting out of room 2021 of the Rayburn House Office Building here at the Capitol Complex in Washington, D.C. And what a week it has been.
00:05:36.000We put on the full Biden family crime operation in the House Oversight Committee meeting yesterday.
00:05:42.000I am not on the House Oversight Committee, but I was allowed to wave on, they call it, for the purpose of asking questions.
00:06:15.000Tony Bobulinski, for those of you unaware, former Biden business associate, really out there exposing a lot of the lies that the Bidens have told regarding the way in which Joe Biden specifically was used to close some of these business deals.
00:06:31.000Here's my questioning of Tony Bobulinski.
00:06:54.000And so what I'm trying to figure out is when you came to realize that you showed up at the wrong party, Because you kind of strike me as a guy who showed up to do a legitimate business deal and you ended up instead at a bribe.
00:07:09.000And so as you're looking at CEFC, as you're having this meeting with Joe Biden, as Hunter Biden is introducing you to his web of contacts, when did you go from serious businessman Tony Bobulinski working to make a buck in a capitalist system to a guy worried that you had been unwittingly ensnared into Hunter and Joe Biden's bribe operation with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:07:40.000I am a serious businessman demonstrated by the different deals I've done around the world and the success of them.
00:07:46.000But it started, remember, the Biden family wasn't my entry into this.
00:07:51.000James Gillier, who I'd known for over 10 years, who traveled the world doing business, kept trying to get me involved.
00:07:57.000I really had no interest, no interest.
00:07:59.000I sat down in the spring of 2017 to walk through things, and then I quickly put together two businesses, Sino Hawk and Oneida.
00:08:08.000After the meetings in Los Angeles with Hunter and Joe Biden, It started to sort of bells and whistles started to go off when Jim Biden used the term plausible deniability.
00:08:19.000Plausible deniability is the first moment straight from the lips of Jim Biden, right on the heels of your discussion with Joe Biden, where you start to think this might not be legit.
00:08:47.000But you proceed, and then later this thing starts to get a lot uglier.
00:08:50.000What's the moment you go from, okay, your spidey senses are up, you're analyzing this, to now you know this is a crime that you are bearing witness to?
00:09:00.000When the Biden family put them right front and center in the middle of a $9 billion transaction between the Russian state-owned energy company Rosneft and CFC, a surrogate for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:09:14.000And was there ever a time in the deals you were involved in where you started to see the money move around the legitimate business enterprise and toward the pockets of the Bidens?
00:09:25.000Well, the challenge, Mr. Gates, with that is, at the time, They moved the money, right?
00:09:31.000You guys have the text messages where Hunter Biden shook down Director Zhang, but I was not aware of that.
00:09:36.000I spent a year asking questions of, this doesn't make sense to me, where's the money?
00:09:42.000I stepped in and had lawyers work to dissolve the two entities.
00:09:46.000I didn't know until years later that they had defrauded me, they had gotten paid all this money, and all this craziness.
00:10:14.000Our Department of Justice outlines in intimate detail the corruption and bribes that CFC was deploying to political officials all over the world.
00:10:40.000There's the whistleblowers, I can't give them kudos enough for the bravery and the risk they put their family in.
00:10:46.000They publish stuff where I am voicing the concern of the Rosneft deal directly to them.
00:10:50.000And you animated your concerns when you saw that this wasn't just a corrupt bribe, a corrupt business deal happening to a guy who used to be vice president.
00:10:58.000When you see that Joe, everyone's made a big deal, like you're a bad guy that you showed up at the debate, or you're trying to give life to these facts that you've observed, that it's so bad that you did that during a political contest.
00:11:10.000But Observing this, it kind of seems like it would be unpatriotic for you to stay quiet.
00:12:27.000We have to deliver those consequences.
00:12:28.000One person who I thought really developed the evidence well regarding the direct link to the Biden family and Joe Biden was Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
00:14:56.000Did Hunter Biden draft an email stating, please also remind Henry Zhao of our conversation about a board seat for a certain relation of mine.
00:15:02.000Devin and I golfed with that relation earlier this week, and we discussed this very idea again.
00:15:07.000And as always, he remains very, very keen on the opportunity.
00:15:11.000Here is a photo of Joe Biden and Devin Archer and Hunter Biden golfing days before the alleged email draft.
00:15:18.000Do you believe a certain relation of mine refers to Joe Biden?
00:15:36.000Okay, during one of these phone calls and Hunter Biden tell Joe Biden that he and Henry Zhao needed help getting, quote, getting across the finish line.
00:15:44.000Okay, Mr. Bobulinski, do you recall receiving an email that followed the possibility of giving 10% ownership of Sino Hawk to Joe Biden through Hunter Biden?
00:16:04.000Did Joe Biden participate in phone conversations and meetings with Hunter Biden, his business associates, and foreign interests, yes or no?
00:16:36.000yes all right in a debate on october 22nd 2020 joe biden denied hunter biden made money from china then hunter biden his business associates and foreign interests include money from chinese businesses business partners and or interests yes or no mr babulinski i'm sorry that did the the did the biden family make money from chinese business interests mr galanis did hunter biden receive money from chinese business interests yes or no Okay,
00:17:38.000A lot of love for Congresswoman Mace on the live stream.
00:17:41.000Amy on Rumble saying, Mace to the point.
00:17:44.000Couldn't agree more, but on the opposite side of the spectrum, we had a member of Congress in the hearing who embarrassed herself because she did not know that RICO was a violation of federal criminal law.
00:17:55.000Here's Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez getting corrected by Tony Bobulinski.
00:18:40.000Tony Bobulinski just needed an opportunity to tell his story because he was the inside man.
00:18:45.000He saw the way a business apparatus was created to be an illusion, when in reality, this was just all about the payment of bribes from the Chinese to the Biden family.
00:18:58.000There was great questioning on this point from Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee.
00:19:04.000On July 30th, 2017, Hunter Biden wrote to his Chinese business associate, Raymond Zhao, I'm sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.
00:19:16.000Mr. Bobulinski, why did Raymond Zhao work for the...
00:19:19.000Who did Raymond Zhao work for when this message was sent?
00:19:23.000Raymond Zhao worked for Director Zhang at CEFC. Is CEFC connected to the Chinese Communist Party?
00:19:55.000Published by the Brave Whistleblowers, Shapley and Ziegler.
00:20:00.000And Hunter made the conscious decision to basically Defraud the partners of Sino Hawk Holdings and Oneida because he needed money immediately.
00:20:10.000They've published pages of text messages where he's trying to get money into his bank account.
00:20:15.000And so that night, for whatever reason, on the 30th, when he asked why hasn't the commitment been fulfilled, the commitment he's talking about is actually the $10 million funding into Sino Hawk Holdings LLC. Really key point.
00:20:31.000But the next day, He decides that he's going to defraud Sino Hawk Holdings and Oneida, create a new entity called Hudson West 3, well actually change Hudson West 3, it had already previously been created by the Chinese, and make himself a 50% owner in that entity, so when the Chinese did send money, he would have instant access to it.
00:21:36.000So Hunter Biden's representations that I was trying to take the business from them or I didn't know is all a sham and a misrepresentation.
00:21:44.000He wanted money in his account instantly and that's why he shook down the Chinese and they were willing to send him that five million dollars because they viewed it as a bribe to the Biden family.
00:21:55.000They say it in their own communications.
00:21:58.000Are you aware or not that they pay taxes on any of that?
00:22:06.000On July 31st, the next day, Hunter says he hopes Kevin should know that the plan to speak is highly confidential.
00:22:14.000And Raymond Zal responded, CEFC is willing to cooperate with the family and the priorities to solve the problems mentioned last night.
00:22:21.000What family was Raymond Zal talking about?
00:22:24.000Well, the family was the Biden family, and more importantly in that text is what is he talking about is the confidential manner.
00:22:31.000The confidential matter he's talking about were four sealed indictments in the SDNY where they were about to indict executives of CEFC that we now know.
00:22:41.000I didn't know that in July of 2017, but the SDNY knew.
00:22:45.000Charles McGonigal, who's now apparently going to serve 78 months in prison, ran counterintelligence for the FBI in New York City where Chairman Yee was dropping $50 million of cash for penthouses in Manhattan.
00:23:01.000So who you should be asking all these questions are the Department of Justice, the SDNY, the FBI, because they have troves of evidence that back up what was going on in July 2017 and in August 2017. So I apologize, Congressman, to be so passionate and to take your time, but this is what I need you guys, or the focus has to be of your oversight committee.
00:23:23.000This involved the Chinese Communist Party.
00:23:25.000They were doing a transaction with Rosneft, which was a Russian-sanctioned U.S.-sanctioned company at the time, and the Biden family was right front and center in the middle of it.
00:24:14.000We're back live and Frank on Getter asks the question, well actually makes the statement, DOJ do your job or get out of the way.
00:24:23.000So the DOJ has a role here that's not just protecting the Bidens, but in the words of some, They're actually retaliating against some of the people who speak out against the Bidens.
00:24:36.000Jason Galanis is a former Hunter Biden business associate.
00:24:39.000They were in some of the same corrupt deals together, and when they were exposed as corrupt, Jason Galanis went to prison, where he was giving his testimony from at the hearing this week.
00:24:50.000But Jason Galanis believes that the DOJ indeed is not just hands-off, but they're acting in a malicious way against the interests of justice.
00:25:11.000The Democrats could have sought any person to come and refute the direct evidence backed up by bank statements, backed up by calendar entries, backed up by emails, backed up by text messages.
00:25:22.000And who did the Democrats send to clear the name of Joe and Hunter Biden?
00:25:29.000Lev Parnas, who was charged with enough crimes and violating our campaign finance laws to, like, serve 50 years, but he gets four months.
00:25:42.000And, like, the big, like, grand criminal conspiracy Mr. Parnas is involved in is using Russian oligarch money to try to get marijuana licenses, which seems odd, and then using that Russian money to plow into campaigns in order to achieve that objective.
00:26:00.000But the fraud he committed wasn't just on our election system by plowing Russian money.
00:26:05.000It was also a fraud on his own investors who didn't get it.
00:26:09.000So I guess, Mr. Bobulinski, as you hear, Maxwell Frost, my colleague on the Democrat side, say that Mr. Parnas, fresh off of his prison time, is the most credible witness we've had to address these business dealings.
00:27:48.000And what you observed with Joe Biden trying to get you into this business deal with Hunter Biden, what you later learned about that business deal and how the money was flowing from the Chinese Communist Party to Hunter Biden, to other members of the Biden family, did that concern you as a potential feature of money laundering?
00:28:08.000I started to grow concerned after I met Joe Biden, and then I sat down with Jim Biden and he used the term plausible deniability with me, and that's documented because I went back to my lawyers and I asked them, something is starting to feel unright, and they went and hired another law firm to give me a full FCPA workup to go through the details of what could be done and what couldn't be done.
00:28:31.000Sounds like high crimes and misdemeanors to me, Mr. Chairman.
00:28:36.000Question, do you think some of your business associates we've spoken about today, Mr. Archer, Mr. Bob Yulinski, Mr. Galanis, do you think they had an expectation that your dad had any role or involvement in any of your joint business dealings?
00:28:49.000Answer from Hunter Biden, not an expectation from me.
00:28:52.000There was never a single time I can remember saying, hey, we'll get my dad involved.
00:29:12.000It's belied by emails, and I think that there's documentation that says that that's just an untruthful statement.
00:29:20.000What I'm trying to understand, Mr. Galanis, is there you are sitting in a prison cell for a financial crime Where you were an associate with Hunter Biden and some of the other players there, and they're out enjoying Southern California, and you're sitting in a prison cell, and they've got the ability to come and give this false testimony to Congress.
00:29:40.000Is it your belief that the Biden Justice Department retaliates against people who speak out against the Bidens and their crimes?
00:29:55.000I've served eight years of clean conduct, and I think I've rehabilitated myself quite a bit in that period of time, and evidenced a track record, but I would say that there is unquestionably a pattern of two tiers of justice, and that's become a popularized term, and it's something that I've lived experience that I've gone through.
00:30:17.000Lev Parnas, you'll remember, was the individual involved in financial campaign crimes.
00:30:24.000He was taking money for one purpose and using it for another, and this was the criminal the Democrats brought in to defend Hunter and Joe Biden.
00:31:00.000And the crime was that you were trying to acquire marijuana licenses and you took money from a Russian oligarch and you tried to use that money to go give political donations and do what you had to do to acquire marijuana licenses.
00:31:40.000The fraud you committed against the Russian oligarch was that instead you spent the money on yourself.
00:31:45.000So was that what you were doing to fight against Russia's aggression, just taking their money?
00:31:50.000Well, that's what you were convicted of.
00:31:52.000But instead of spending 50 years in prison, you got four months.
00:31:56.000As this hearing continues, I look forward to hearing what Mr. Galanis thinks about how he was treated by the DOJ for telling the truth, as opposed to how you're treated for lying.
00:32:03.000The DOJ didn't listen to the truth, because if they would listen to the truth...
00:32:06.000The question Mr. Gates had is for Mr. Galanis.
00:32:12.000Look, the truth for you is taking money from Russians to buy marijuana businesses and then going to jail and then coming here to lie about Trump.
00:32:48.000It took too long to get the subpoenas out to Hunter Biden.
00:32:51.000Kevin McCarthy would never authorize a subpoena to Hunter Biden.
00:32:55.000For all of Mike Johnson's concerning disappointments on spending, and we'll get to that later in the program.
00:33:02.000He did authorize the subpoena to Hunter Biden, and that's what finally got the Hunter testimony, which allowed us to bring in these business associates and to show how Hunter was lying.
00:33:12.000Now, we, of course, invited Hunter to be there as well, but he didn't want that.
00:33:16.000He didn't want to be exposed in public.
00:33:19.000In front of his business partners that would just turn to him and say, that's a lie, dude.
00:33:23.000And the American people would see, just with the incarnation of Hunter there alongside Bobby Linsky, who was lying.
00:33:41.000They didn't say that Bobulinski wasn't sufficiently corroborated.
00:33:46.000They just complained about Trump, which is really all they do, and probably why the American people are wondering why Democrats don't address their challenges, their needs.
00:33:55.000Now, there was one Democrat during this hearing who made some interesting points, and I know you're not going to like this, so just get ready to be triggered, firebrand audience.
00:34:08.000Democrat from California, if you take this next clip I'm going to play you of Katie Porter and filter out all the anti-Republican, anti-Trump stuff and just focus on the ethics changes and legislative reforms she's proposing.
00:34:27.000Going after the revolving door between lobbyists and members of Congress.
00:34:33.000Stopping members of Congress from being registered foreign agents.
00:34:50.000We should have a policy discussion about how to stop government officials from using their positions to get money or favors.
00:34:58.000Now that is a real hearing, one that nearly every American, regardless of party, wants us to hold.
00:35:06.000We could start by talking about how senior executive branch officials can leave public service, wait just one year, and then legally become lobbyists for big corporations, scoring their new employers' profitable government contracts and favorable regulations.
00:35:23.000They can even be Paid by the big corporations during that short one year while they are waiting to become lobbyists as a down payment for their future ability to peddle influence.
00:35:39.000For the panel of witnesses, by show of hands, as Americans, would our witnesses support extending this one-year waiting period to at least two years?
00:35:55.000Republicans, Democrats, even convicted criminals, everybody supports that we should do more to stop influence peddling.
00:36:04.000This is the kind of good government reform that Americans of all political stripes support.
00:36:09.000And I should know, in 2022, I passed that exact reform as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act with a bipartisan majority vote.
00:36:27.000Nearly 500 former members of Congress worked for lobbying firms.
00:36:33.000And too many people around here want to follow in their footsteps, and so don't want to make it harder for government officials to become lobbyists.
00:36:41.000Ultimately, Democratic leadership under then Speaker Nancy Pelosi let the amendment get stripped out of the final bill.
00:36:48.000When I offered up the amendment again during this Congress, Republican leadership under then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy never even put the amendment up for a vote.
00:36:56.000Both parties have let us down on fighting influence peddling and tackling corruption.
00:37:03.000But I'm hopeful we can begin a new approach in this very committee.
00:37:09.000I don't even need a whiteboard for this one.
00:37:12.000495 former members of Congress worked for lobbying firms.
00:37:18.000467 members of Congress take corporate PAC money.
00:37:23.00078 members of Congress violated the Stock Act last Congress.
00:37:30.000Clearly, we have our work cut out for us, so let's start the conversation today on what a bipartisan ethics reform package could look like.
00:37:39.000Here are the organizations that could have come today as witnesses so we could have had a productive conversation.
00:37:46.000Oversight staff, do you have your notebooks ready?
00:37:48.000Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Common Cause, Project on Government Oversight, Public Citizen, with the right witnesses, And the commitment to doing what the American people want, this committee can have a real conversation about the problem of influence peddling.
00:38:06.000And we can pass legislation to create badly needed ethics guardrails.
00:38:12.000That would be real work, not a real circus.
00:38:32.000We should have an extended cooling off period.
00:38:34.000Frankly, I don't think members of Congress should ever be able to be lobbyists.
00:38:38.000I think if you get the privilege of making our nation's laws, you don't get to then enter the transfer portal and then go and influence lawmaking for money.
00:38:46.000Just a mercenary instead of a patriot.
00:38:48.000And far too many do, and I'm glad Katie Porter brought that to fruition.
00:38:52.000And she can count on me as an ally in any effort to try to clean this place up from the corrupt influence of money, and it affects both sides.
00:39:00.000And any of you who try to say, well, you know, the whataboutism of, well, the other side does it worse than we do...
00:39:07.000It is totally the uniparty who keeps this corrupt system in place, and there are few voices that speak out against it, and so we have to band them together even if they come from different places in the ideological spectrum.
00:39:20.000One voice that was deeply concerning to me was one we heard today on TikTok encouraging illegal aliens to break into people's homes.
00:39:29.000The Biden border policies have gotten so bad that your home is at risk of invasion, promoted, And put out by TikTok.
00:40:02.000We've heard how the openness and acceptance of our country has often turned against us in great power competition with China, with Russia.
00:40:10.000But here you see just the fact that we have this viral nature to our society allowing someone to spread a message of deep destruction and hate and concern.
00:40:31.000So you break into my home, you break into the home of my fellow Florida man and Florida woman, and you're likely to be catching some hot lead.
00:40:38.000So if you got plans to break into people's houses and commit forcible felonies against them, I suggest you do that in a state that does not have the Castle Doctrine and a well-armed citizenry like we do in the Sunshine State.
00:40:51.000Today in the House Armed Services Committee, we had the leaders of U.S. policy on Africa.
00:40:55.000And you've heard me talk a lot about the continent on the program, not because I think that there is some natural linkage of African culture and society to ours.
00:41:05.000That's the argument other people make about Ukraine.
00:41:07.000I do it because it is a microcosm of the Biden administration's The terrible decision-making, the lack of a strategic envelope for how we're going to generate outcomes based on the pipeline of our actions, and one of us truly,
00:41:23.000and I don't say this lightly, but truly one of the dumbest people I have ever questioned is General Langley, who is in charge of AFRICOM and doesn't know basic things about the continent or government or warfare.
00:42:18.000So I guess four months after that exchange, General Langley, you had General Musa Bamu overthrow the government in Niger.
00:42:30.000It won't surprise anybody here that we trained him.
00:42:33.000The person who overthrew the democratically elected government in Niger went to the National Defense University, trained at Fort Benning, Georgia.
00:42:41.000So, do we share core values with Musa Bamu?
00:42:47.000Congressman, let me just go ahead and state that core values is what we start off with.
00:42:53.000But there is no syllabus for overthrowing the government, not in our institutions.
00:43:00.000Well, they're learning it pretty well even in the absence of a syllabus, right?
00:43:03.000Because if you look at Chad, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, in a lot of these countries, the coup is led by someone we trained.
00:43:15.000Now, I put in the National Defense Authorization Act a requirement for you to issue us a report as to how many coup leaders our taxpayers have funded the training for.
00:44:06.000March 16th, 2023, Secretary Blinken calls Niger, quote, a model of resilience, a model of democracy, a model of cooperation.
00:44:18.000One year and one day later, Dr. Wallander, the spokesperson of the Nigerian military, Colonel Amadou Amabramay, says, quote, the American presence in the territory of the Republic of Niger is illegal.
00:44:35.000A year and a day after our government said they were the model of resilience and democracy, they are throwing us out by the scrubs of our neck.
00:44:44.000And so, is it safe to say that this failed, General Langley?
00:44:52.000It's safe to say that there's no correlation or causation of U.S. training to a coup happening.
00:46:09.000Okay, but General Langley, you went to Niger and you went to have a meeting with the people we trained who overthrew the democratically elected government and Fox News is reporting that you didn't even get a meeting with the principal decision-maker.
00:46:54.000Those are painful discussions, but they need to be had because, as you heard, you have invested $500 million into the country of Niger.
00:47:02.000And what we have for it is an opportunity for uranium mining expansion for Iran, military expansion for Russia, and our opportunity to train the next generation of coup leaders.
00:47:14.000That's basically what you got for $500 million.
00:47:17.000And by the way, that's where things are going best in Africa.
00:47:20.000That was the place Tony Blinken said was the centerpiece of our strategy for democracy and cooperation.
00:47:31.000And it's happening everywhere in the world.
00:47:33.000Now, before we go, I want to make mention of this trillion-dollar spending bill that the House of Representatives is set to vote on tomorrow.
00:47:39.000I will be voting emphatically against this.
00:47:43.000Continues to advance an unconstitutional process, unconstitutional agencies.
00:47:51.000It funds earmarks for all kind of LGBTQ, AI, XYZ stuff.
00:47:58.000And what does it do for the American people?
00:48:01.000Higher prices, more inflation, higher prices.
00:48:05.000Larger debts, growing deficit, and no political courage to take it on.
00:48:10.000Now, I know we only have like a one or two seat majority on a given day, but I would rather die on the field politically than continue to surrender to America's defeat and demise.
