On today's show, we have a special guest on the show, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-GAETTO), who is fighting back against the Deep State and the liberal agenda of the Biden Crime Family. We also hear from Rep. Steve Bannon's former producer on the War Room podcast, Vish Burra, who is now a member of our congressional staff, and gives us the inside story on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and what it means to our government.
00:03:12.000I've got the highest concentration of active duty military in the country.
00:03:16.000And in the past, I've had to vote against the National Defense Authorization Act because it wasn't good for all of America.
00:03:25.000And so to see members of Congress sell out their vote, trade it for some roads and bridges and tunnels, for some train stops, it's disgraceful.
00:03:36.000We also see that many of them are retiring.
00:03:39.000And Republican leadership came to us and said, how are we supposed to manage the impulses and expectations of members of Congress who aren't running for reelection?
00:04:07.000And I am shocked at the number of members of these 13 dissenters that are actually in Republican leadership.
00:04:16.000They are Republican leads on either full committees or subcommittees in the Congress, which means that our overall leadership says that on certain issues, these folks speak for us.
00:04:27.000Well, you know what? If you hope Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden pass their agenda, you don't speak for me on any issue.
00:04:35.000That should be the position of our conference.
00:04:38.000We should join together and demand that John Katko be removed as the lead on the Homeland Security Committee.
00:04:45.000And any other members who are leads on subcommittees should lose those positions.
00:04:50.000I believe that in the 117th Congress, there have been five critical votes for Republicans.
00:04:57.000Impeachment, the witch hunt January 6th commission, removing Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees, the ban in contempt vote, and of course, this Biden spending plan.
00:05:10.000And on every one of those critical votes, John Katko of New York, supposedly a Republican, has voted with the Democrats and he is the Republican lead on the Homeland Security Committee.
00:05:23.000So just take a listen and see if this sounds like a Republican leader to you.
00:05:28.000Of course, Trump is a knucklehead. And of course, I don't, I mean, I don't like him as a person. I don't like him, his rhetoric. I don't like his lack of discipline.
00:05:39.000In the days following January 6th, the House majority drew up an article of impeachment against President Trump.
00:05:46.000Congressman Katko crossed party lines and teamed up with the Democrats in charging Trump with the setting and insurrection.
00:05:53.000So sometimes you've got to take a vote even if you know it might cost you your job. And this is absolutely one of them. And I'm very proud of it.
00:06:01.000Clearly, if I knew if I knew back then what I what I saw yesterday, I clearly wouldn't have supported him and I can't support him going forward.
00:06:11.000And I don't think the party is going to support him going forward.
00:06:13.000Well, the January 6th commission bill that was bipartisan, I wrote along with Benny Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi.
00:06:19.000He's two heads of the Homeland Security Committee. And it was perfectly bipartisan, perfectly balanced.
00:06:24.000One side couldn't subpoena without the other. That's the way it should be.
00:06:27.000And what happened was people in our party politicized that and they stopped it and it was wrong to do so.
00:06:33.000The president's role in this insurrection is undeniable, both on social media ahead of January 6th and in his speech that day.
00:06:40.000He deliberately promoted baseless theories, creating a combustible environment of misinformation and division to allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of this democracy.
00:06:54.000There's not a single picture, not a single clip that anyone can produce showing I've even had a picture with the guy. I don't like them.
00:07:02.000Now this work in the Congress, it certainly hasn't been popular in the state of New York.
00:07:07.000Take a listen to this radio interview from John Katko's district.
00:07:11.000Well, the comments on social media and from listeners are pretty critical of Katko over the weekend.
00:07:18.000I want to bring in the former chairman of the Onondaga County Republican Party, Tom Dady.
00:07:23.000Tom is now a statewide leader with the New York State Conservative Party.
00:07:54.000John Katko doesn't know what he's doing on this vote because if you take the 228 votes that passed and back out the 13 Republicans,
00:08:02.000my math usually isn't too good, but at 215, you're still short of the 218 you need to pass legislation in Congress.
00:08:10.000And John Katko is the ultimate D.C. insider who's lining himself up for a lucrative lobby job,
00:08:20.000much like Jim Walsh did when he left and much like other members of Congress do, and that's what he's doing.
00:08:26.000He doesn't care about the central New York taxpayers and the debt that we're accumulating or the fact that a $1.5 trillion spending bill only $110 billion goes to roads and bridges.
00:08:41.000The rest goes to let's help the electric vehicle market with batteries.
00:08:49.000Well, you know who makes 80% of the electric vehicle batteries?
00:10:05.000Is our government engaging in corruption under the guise of a family member out selling access and selling out America?
00:10:15.000We learned that the Hunter Biden story would become central to our politics when the Hunter Biden laptop arose in really the most interesting of ways.
00:10:26.000Now, I've got a member of my congressional staff who is actually central to the recovery of the assembly of the production of the delivery of the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:10:38.000And I'm here with my colleague Vish Burra.
00:10:47.000What were you doing when you found out you were about to come into the possession of some of the most compelling evidence of the 2020 campaign cycle?
00:10:55.000Well, thank you for having me on, Matt.
00:11:54.000So I didn't I didn't have I didn't see it at first.
00:11:58.000But a few days after that, there the Rudy and Bannon basically sat down and said, we need to be able to go through this thing faster and what's on it.
00:12:15.000I didn't I didn't ask questions at that point.
00:12:18.000I just knew that whatever I'm asked to do here, I have to get it get it done.
00:12:22.000And so at that point, they needed time to go through this thing and they needed to go through it faster because there's just so much content on it.
00:12:29.000You're talking about one hundred twenty thousand emails.
00:12:32.000You're talking about thousands of pictures.
00:13:07.000What was the first place you said, I'm opening this up and I'm diving in?
00:13:12.000I wanted to go through the emails first and the text messages.
00:13:16.000Right. So a lot of people, especially who have Macs, will sync their cell phones to their MacBook and all their text messages come to their to their Mac.
00:13:28.000And so this is the case with Hunter as well.
00:13:31.000And we had text messages messages between him and his his father, President Joe Biden and and Hallie Biden and, you know, his niece.
00:13:41.000And if all sorts of interperson, that's really what kind of, you know, got got my interest going as the is the interpersonal family family relationships and those interactions.
00:13:52.000And though that stuff was really revealing to me, because, you know, my my little project, many projects myself at that time is I just want to get into the mind of Hunter Biden and how he's seeing his world, you know, in the middle of this confluence of corruption and just this lifestyle of, you know, being on the road and kind of, you know, being a playboy or whatever.
00:14:13.200Like, what is that actually like behind the scenes? Not what you see on TV.
00:14:18.440You're not just getting in to Hunter Biden's mind here. You're getting in to Joe Biden's mind because you're starting to see some correspondence there. Right.
00:14:26.600Absolutely. That's you know, it's that that that that 4D reflection on like, you know, this is from Hunter's mind.
00:14:33.960You know, this is what's behind the scenes. But this is also Joe Biden behind the scenes responding to Hunter. Right.
00:14:39.060And there was a particular email with Frank Luntz that seemed to inform on kind of the Biden political dynamic.
00:14:47.160Oh, yeah. We'll get it up on the screen. But walk us through what we're seeing here with this email.
00:14:52.060The Frank Luntz piece. The Frank Luntz thing I totally bumped into by accident.
00:14:56.080I'm just scanning through the emails. I see Frank Luntz's name and I'm thinking, hey, isn't this like a GOP guy, a pollster?
00:15:01.520And I got the email is basically Frank Luntz upset that Hunter Biden is not returning his calls or emails.
00:15:09.280And he was lamenting, hey, why did I help out your father when you guys dropped that disastrous Jeep commercial?
00:15:16.280And I went against my own client at the time, Paul Ryan, to to do that for you.
00:15:22.280And you guys still won't look out for me. I love Bo, by the way.
00:15:25.700So if you have Paul Ryan on your Hunter laptop bingo card, you can go ahead and mark that box now.
00:15:32.700But what it shows us, I think, what this Luntz email shows us is that Hunter Biden isn't some ancillary node.
00:15:39.880He's not out there in the ether doing his own thing, unconnected to the politics and the ambition of his father.
00:15:46.700That he is both doing the politics and doing the corruption.
00:15:51.620Was there an email, a text, a piece of evidence that really framed up kind of the seedy, swampy nature of Hunter Biden's business dealings where you could go back to Bannon and Rudy and say, hey, look, you know, this is something that really shows the grift.
00:16:07.620Well, I mean, there's the the infamous big guy email, right, the 10 percent for the big guy.
00:16:13.040I mean, you can't you can't cook up a more perfect situation.
00:16:16.400They're talking about a deal with CEFC, the largest state owned energy corporation in the world.
00:16:25.320And this I believe it was a Bohai Harvest or one of these companies that they come together and cook up.
00:16:32.460Right. To be able to funnel funds through back and forth and make it seem legit, not like you're doing direct business with a a state owned company.
00:16:40.000And they are laying out the terms and 10 percent for the big guy, you know, and this is we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:16:47.100And so that that I think was the the international sort of big money, like, you know, international scale grift that you saw.
00:16:54.840But I think locally what's really troubling is the is actually the email that I didn't end up finding.
00:17:00.860But it exists on the laptop is the Louis free email.
00:17:04.880I mean, you got former director of the FBI on, you know, doing business with you, making donations back and forth between family family foundations and and then working to get use FBI resources that currently exist in the department to do freelance work for, you know, Hunter Biden's clients.
00:17:26.880Like, you know, that's that's that's that's crazy. You know, we talk often on the show and in the Congress about the corrupt unity of purpose that can often exist with corrupt businesses and corrupt government officials and melding the line.
00:17:41.680You know, kind of the the neo libertarian philosophy that I developed in my politics in the 2010s was let's get, you know, government just out of the decision making process.
00:17:51.180But the problem is big business has become so persuasive on government that we've now wrapped government around the apparatus of big business in a lot of ways.
00:18:01.120And that is what this energy deal really represents with sort of the foreign flavor to it of of big China.
00:18:08.800And, you know, we have also covered the extent to which the Biden administration is influenced by China.
00:18:14.040But I mean, what what you're really laying out here in those energy deals, the 10 percent for the big guy is that there's a huge value in accessing this Chinese marketplace and being able to utilize the way that China has fused big government and big business.
00:18:31.460But our laws don't permit that. And so there are these setups and cutouts and straw men that are established.
00:18:37.580And if you can get that grift going, it creates a huge amount of cash and you essentially discover the blueprint for it.
00:18:45.240Exactly. And, you know, it is the it's this sort of modern way of of doing business where you you're not out there conquering nations, you know, out and out.
00:18:54.500Right. Because then you'd have to own those nations and take those proceeds and give it to your people to justify owning them.
00:19:00.420Now you do this indirect, you know, shell company things where you're still kind of grifting.
00:19:05.760You're only benefiting yourself and you're making these deals with foreign nations that still the the effects of that deal, the everyday American people are subject to it.
00:19:16.480Right. And see, like the the focus on the Hunter Biden laptop has been on some of the weird stuff, the bizarre pictures, the potential crimes.
00:19:25.380But for most Americans, the impact is really felt through the corrupt acts that implicate Joe Biden.
00:19:34.600I mean, you got into the brains of these folks. What did you learn about them as as people?
00:19:39.160Are they smart people? Are they crafty people or are these clumsy criminals and fools?
00:19:44.340Well, let me just say this. Out of all these folks, the craftiest person is Joe Biden.
00:19:49.200Right. Because he says in his texts, in his exchanges, hey, I think my phone's being hacked.
00:19:54.940Watch what you put right down, Hunter, when you're sending stuff to me.
00:19:58.800And he says it multiple times. And so he's he understands at the very least, there's a lot of things you don't put in writing.
00:20:05.020Pick up the phone and call me or something like that. Right.
00:20:07.060And that's where I see the craftiness outside of that also shows knowledge that this behavior is not something that Joe Biden wants to revisit through the lens of history.
00:20:18.620Right. Exactly. Right. He knows that what you put in writing can come back to haunt you sometime later.
00:20:23.420Right. And so but he understands that very sort of like primordial game of keeping secrets.
00:20:30.420And so but Hunter, I mean, this guy spills out his whole life story in these text messages and in these emails.
00:20:37.480And what's actually smart guy he is, I would I wouldn't say super smart, but he's definitely somebody who's like in tune with how he feels and he's not afraid to express that.
00:20:49.780And he straight up says, like, I feel like, Dad, you've put me in this position where I'm like having to deal with you put a target on my back.
00:20:57.880Right. He explicitly says that in these emails by doing what I do for you.
00:21:02.560Right. So it implies it implies that he that it's like the embryonic elements of an Oedipus complex developing.
00:21:09.440Exactly. You know, and so that that is what's really like scary to me.
00:21:13.080Like, Joe Biden is the kingpin in a certain way.
00:21:17.260Hunter feels like he is the one who put Joe Biden is the one who put Hunter in this position.
00:21:22.900And in the emails, in the text messages, he says, you need to run for office.
00:21:29.380So so me, Hunter, I have a shot at redemption.
00:21:33.380Right. My reputation reputation has a shot at redemption if you run for president, you know.
00:21:39.840And so that is now part of the decision calculus when Joe Biden's deciding to run for president,
00:21:45.640as well as his son's reputation for the position Joe Biden put him in by being his bag man, you know.
00:21:53.060So it is certainly reflective of a healthy dose of narcissism.
00:21:57.340Yeah. As as you went through the the texts and the emails,
00:22:01.640were there other figures in politics, in media, in legal circles that you were surprised to see in this nexus?
00:22:12.340Well, the Frank Luntz thing that was that was just fun, you know, the Louis Free thing is scary.
00:22:20.060One. But then there is there is this entity that keeps popping up that I definitely think needs way more looking into.
00:22:29.380It's this entity called Eudora. And there's this gambling thing around it called Hwega Ocho Gaming that might implicate a close associate of Senator Dick Durbin,
00:22:41.480as well as Harry Reid's son, Key Reid.
00:22:45.260And because the way I see it is the China grift and all these foreign foreign policy grifts,
00:22:52.080these are all just trying to create laundry machines abroad to be able to send taxpayer money for it to find it,
00:22:57.540find its way back into your personal pockets.
00:23:00.400And I believe that the Biden's engaged in this thing with other elites in our system,
00:23:06.680you know, the elected elites to set up this like a gaming grift or laundry machine in South America.
00:23:14.480I believe it's called Hwega Ocho Gaming.
00:23:17.720And then they use this Eudora entity as well to to basically get that money from Ocho Rio into Eudora and then split it out to the folks.
00:23:28.280And it informs on precisely the legislative work that we see the Congress embarking on now,
00:23:33.260that the way the elites try to use their power is to leverage the largesse of the U.S. dollar abroad and, frankly, even at home,
00:23:42.800and then to see that wealth, that value transition right back to their businesses, to their pocketbooks,
00:23:49.500and to hope that they're able to sort of keep the plates spinning long enough for the surf class, the plebs, the regular folks to just allow it to happen.
00:23:58.380Yeah, it's like the, you know, three, the three card Monty kind of game that you'd see pop up on a street corner of New York,
00:24:04.960except they're doing it with your tax money, you know, and the only loser at the end of the day is you.
00:24:09.980Was there a piece of evidence on the laptop that either Rudy Giuliani or Steve Bannon found particularly compelling,
00:24:17.020where they said, hey, this is the smoking gun, this is what we have to ripen?
00:24:21.520Well, there was a piece of evidence on there that they felt so compelled that it was a criminal,
00:24:30.460it was criminal to possess it, that Rudy hand-delivered this piece of evidence along with a few other pieces of evidence
00:24:40.060to the Delaware Attorney General, and Steve and I followed Rudy as he's delivering it just to make sure he gets there,
00:24:50.200you know, that's the kind of, you know, level we're on as we're trying to get this thing into the right hands,
00:24:56.040as we're trying to do the right thing, basically expose this wrongdoing and corruption.
00:25:00.300This piece of evidence, it's on the salacious side of things, but we delivered that to the Delaware Attorney General,
00:25:09.380and I don't think anybody's ever heard of any news popping out of that since.
00:25:14.040You had to know at some point that this was going to become the biggest political story in America.
00:25:20.440What decisions were made or what was the perspective on sort of the New York Post as an initial outlet?
00:25:26.880Were there other outlets that were skeptical at first?
00:25:29.800How did you go from the investigative reporting that you were doing, Steve Bannon was doing as a part of your work for War Room,
00:25:37.580to actually getting this into the political bloodstream of the country?
00:25:43.140Yeah, so, you know, the Daily Mail was one of the first outlets to come out and verify.
00:25:50.880And this is now, this is after the election, of course, but they had a forensic sort of like auditor,
00:25:58.760the technical auditor go through the hard drive, and they published that they verified it and that it's real, right?
00:26:04.800Or at the very least, it hasn't been manipulated by any outside hands.
00:26:09.000And I found that to be a mea culpa because it was the Daily Mail originally that we went to before the New York Post to try and get this story out.
00:26:18.320The largest website in the world, right?
00:26:20.360It's got, it drives the highest traffic.
00:26:22.860So, Daily Mail was our initial attempt to get this story out.
00:26:28.480We showed, you know, we made the pitch with a few things.
00:26:31.840And as I'm watching the journalist that we showed it to, his face turned white, you know, but what, he ended up not publishing it.
00:26:42.800And, you know, the story at that time I got from Steve is that he may have felt that he didn't want to be the guy to take out Joe Biden if Joe Biden lied.
00:26:53.100And, you know, I want to get into that for a moment because there's a mundanity to the whole thing.
00:26:57.360It's not, you know, somebody's getting a phone call from Biden and it's like, you can't publish this story or, you know, one of his goons, right?
00:27:51.300You had found information that you thought really illuminated the inner workings of this crime family in serious ways and also in sort of salacious ways as well.
00:28:14.040What foreshadowing, because what you were about to face in terms of headwinds from big media and big tech has literally never been seen before in American democracy.
00:28:23.380I couldn't have written a script, you know, in Hollywood that would have passed if I told you, you know, like, this is what we're going to do.
00:28:29.760And this is going to be the overt brazen reaction from big tech media.
00:28:35.960I mean, it was like it was all it was practically all coordinated.
00:28:39.680I'm not going to say that everyone was on the phone with each other saying we're going to do this.
00:28:43.360What you're saying is that there is an ethic around investigative reporting that is negative for Democrats that isn't explicit, but that is very potent.
00:28:54.480You know, and that ethic is, you know, if it's bad about Republicans, get it out, source it later, sort it out later.
00:29:01.240You know, get clicks that something's bad about Republicans, that's the way they're kind of thinking about.
00:29:06.160But when it's about a Democrat, people start to think, OK, well, you know, do I want to have as a part of my forever journalistic identity taking out a Democrat, exposing a Democrat, potentially even causing a Democrat presidential candidate to lose?
00:29:20.480And that's the unwritten rule. But the unwritten rule, it sounds like is the strongest, because despite the authenticity of this evidence, the relevance of this evidence of you face strong headwinds.
00:29:32.600You finally get it out with The New York Post. Tell me about that moment when you finally know this thing you've been working on, this political Manhattan project is finally going to erupt in some way.
00:29:44.460So I wake up. We finally got the conference and we pushed really, really hard to get the get it through the New York Post.
00:29:51.420Finally, we got an approval to push it. And I will say that the decision did go all the way up to Murdoch on that one.
00:29:57.820But we finally got it through. And what that morning I was running, I ran out of the hotel room that we were staying at.
00:30:06.100We were working out of a hotel for months at that point because I want a hard copy of the of the New York Post story so that I could, like, frame it, you know.
00:30:14.600And I wanted to get a few copies. And unfortunately, these days, you know, even the local delis in New York don't even have a hard copy of the New York Post anymore.
00:30:23.720Kind of sad. But I once and then we had to go produce the war room at that time, too.
00:30:29.340So I'm looking for any any buzz, you know, in the in the morning once the story dropped that morning.
00:30:36.200No, no buzz in the news. Right. So we're really the war rooms kind of like the New York Post publishes publishes it.
00:30:42.620And the war room is kind of the first on it to to to broadcast it in a in a video format.
00:30:48.580And so what we're thinking is, oh, well, this didn't kind of have the effect that we were thinking.
00:30:54.000But once it was all shared, made it to the ether on the Internet, right, on Twitter, on Facebook.
00:30:59.620And the story starts getting shared around.
00:31:02.500That was when it blew up because people started texting me saying, hey, this I can't even, like, send this to you via Facebook Messenger or DM this to you by Twitter.
00:31:14.060This is weird. And then all then multiple reports started popping up.
00:31:18.780And that's when people realize, like, wait a minute, like the tech companies are blocking the sharing of this story.
00:31:25.940And then it eventually comes out that they locked the New York Post out of their own account.
00:31:32.020And this is not, you know, this is not like Infowars or anything like this is the New York Post.
00:31:36.680And they locked them out of their Twitter account for publishing this story.
00:31:40.800I mean, I would I could I would have never believed that the big tech companies would overtly try to challenge the ability of a publisher to to, you know, a media company, a brother in arms.
00:31:55.480I would even say, you know what I mean, in sort of the metaverse of things to distribute information to people that they would shut one out because there's a story here that they don't like.
00:32:07.940You know, it really is the strongest evidence I have ever seen that big tech wants to be the arbiter of truth itself.
00:32:15.860You know, that that while in the law, while when they come and testify before Congress, they say, we just want to be a platform.
00:32:22.620We just want to be a place where people come and share information and interact with one another.
00:32:27.300That that's not true. That when the chips are down, when you're in a high impact moment like the days and weeks before an election,
00:32:37.140and when you have a highly relevant piece of information, they want to be the ones to make the judgments, not the American people.
00:32:45.040Absolutely. Well, what I what the way I see it is that these tech companies essentially want to establish a monopsonic relationship between the rest of the world and reality itself,
00:32:57.940where they are the ultimate middleman and everything has to go through that.
00:33:02.220In the words of Dave Chappelle, Twitter is not a real place, but but it does really impact politics. Right.
00:33:08.640And that's why it must have been very frustrating for you personally and for your colleagues, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani to have done all this work,
00:33:16.220to have gotten no less than the New York Post to verify and publish it and then still the most powerful forces in media and technology trying to limit the distribution of your work.
00:33:30.220I mean, it couldn't have been all glee at that point for you.
00:33:33.120I mean, there's a moment of upsetness there. But, you know, as at that time, I'm still in the mindset of a renegade media professional.
00:33:41.640So, you know, our rule is, you know, you get censored. That's a badge of honor. Right.
00:33:45.940You're and if you really think about it, the story didn't really pop until the censorship of it was what kind of happened.
00:33:55.100And that's when the mentions of the story and all that really shot through the roof.
00:34:00.240There is Twitter data and there's there's data behind this. But basically that once the story was censored,
00:34:05.880that's when its exposure and distribution really went through the roof because the interest now the the distribution was sort of reversed.
00:34:13.120Right. People are going to going out and looking for it and plucking it from any place that they find.
00:34:17.900I don't think this is over. You know, the the evidence that we've discussed here that you have brought to the world really does show a sophisticated business system
00:34:30.260that is probably used by a lot of American elites to drain the U.S. experience and to use it for their benefit.
00:34:39.600Recently, my colleague Ken Buck in the Judiciary Committee exposed the modern incarnations of the Hunter Biden grift through the art sales.
00:34:49.100Take a listen. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
00:34:51.020Mr. Attorney General, I'd like to direct your attention to the easel behind me.
00:34:54.800The first painting is a Claude Monet. I'm sorry, I can't I can't read any of the words.
00:34:59.960You don't need to. You just need to look at this great painting. Very beautiful.
00:35:03.040It is beautiful. And it is listed at Christie's for seven hundred thousand dollars.
00:35:08.420Now, Claude Monet was the founder of the Impressionist movement, something I didn't know until I researched it.
00:35:32.680The Hunter Biden painting sold for five hundred thousand dollars also.
00:35:35.820Now, you may think that such an exclusive, that when Hunter Biden is in such exclusive company, that he would have a background, you know, artistic training, for example.
00:35:46.740But you would be wrong if you thought that.
00:35:49.120And you might think that he had some sort of apprenticeship with a world renowned artist.
00:35:53.220But you would be wrong again if you thought that.
00:35:55.420Or perhaps that he has been selling his works for years.
00:35:58.140And again, unfortunately, you would be wrong.
00:36:00.760It turns out that in 2019, Hunter Biden couldn't find a gallery to list his art.
00:36:06.920And what happened in 2020 that changed all that?
00:36:09.340His dad became president of the United States.
00:36:12.120Now, a single piece of art from Hunter Biden sells for more than the average American home.
00:36:19.020This art arrangement is so suspicious that the Obama administration ethics czar, Walter Schaub, tweeted on July 10th of this year,
00:36:29.860Hunter Biden should cancel this art sale because he knows the prices are based on his dad's job.
00:36:36.820Shame on POTUS if he doesn't ask Hunter to stop.
00:36:41.220By the way, Mr. Attorney General, this is the same Hunter Biden who's being investigated by your department and the IRS for tax fraud.
00:36:50.760Selling fakes or selling or having a fake skill set is nothing new to Hunter Biden.
00:36:58.560When his dad was vice president, Hunter Biden received $50,000 a month from a Ukrainian oligarch to sit on a board of an energy company.
00:37:07.260What was Hunter Biden's background in energy?
00:37:33.260With his dubious track record inquiring minds, my question why any art gallery would want to sell Hunter Biden's art.
00:37:39.800Well, this particular art gallery had its COVID relief loan more than doubled by the Biden administration.
00:37:47.120In a survey of more than 100 art galleries in New York's 10th Congressional District, this particular art gallery received by far the largest SBA disaster loan.
00:37:57.740And as an aside, Mr. Attorney General, the member who represents the 10th Congressional District is none other than Chairman Nadler.
00:38:05.400Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Attorney General, who buys Hunter Biden's art?
00:38:19.720I have sent a letter to the Department of Justice before your tenure asking them to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden.
00:38:27.580I have today sent a letter to you and I am asking you now, will you appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden?
00:38:36.980I'm not for the same reason that I'm not able to respond to questions about investigations of the former president or of anyone else.
00:38:47.520I'm not unable able to discuss any investigations pending or otherwise with respect to any citizen of the United States.
00:38:55.580So, Vish, what's next? I mean, Ken Buck just described a circumstance where Hunter Biden is out there literally selling his art right alongside the masters and getting master level compensation for it.
00:39:09.020Have we heard the last of Hunter Biden?
00:39:11.000Absolutely not. So what I will say is that I am probably still the only person on this side of America that could competently make a copy of this thing.
00:39:21.100And I've distributed over 40 copies to multiple outlets that have peaked.
00:39:26.480Their interest has peaked after, you know, Joe Biden has won.
00:39:30.300He's firmly in place. And now people are looking for a point ways to make their own bones now, now that, you know, they don't have to worry about being the pariah.
00:39:38.620And so there the interest level has gone up in the Hunter Biden laptop since.
00:39:43.640And I believe you will start seeing more mainstream outlets verifying this thing and coming out and saying that they're that, you know, this thing is real.
00:39:53.640And these are things that have to be addressed. And I would think the Ocho Rios South American gambling story is still the untold story that some investigative reporters need to get on.
00:40:05.600Yeah. And it could tie back to even current members of the legislative branch.
00:40:10.240Yes. Eudora and Hwayga Ocho Gaming. That's the those are the two entities.
00:40:16.120That's where I think that that the real meat of like the like if you really want to kind of get the rat's nest at once that I think those are the places you would have to look.
00:40:26.680But I also believe that whatever it is, there's a ton of stuff on there.
00:40:32.760I think that we should also be very careful because, you know, as being from New York, I kind of see like what's what what is happening with Biden could also could could sort of harken back to what happened with Cuomo,
00:40:47.460where at the right time you kind of needed to get rid of the guy and that these stories would now be deployed to put get somebody else in place.
00:40:54.260So they could be tools waiting in the wings if it's determined that Joe Biden is too much of a drag on the political left,
00:41:01.160that they want to sort of freshen up the movement with Kamala Harris and whatever assembly of child actors she's hanging out with that day.
00:41:07.480That you think that actually the we could be learning more about the Hunter laptop, the corruption that's on there going forward.
00:41:15.220If the left in the media choose to politically take out the guy that they sort of just used as a as a masthead for the anti-Trump movement.
00:41:25.860Correct. And I and you know, I said this when when Andrew Cuomo was was about to be looked out.
00:41:33.700Very obviously was about to be removed. And Kathy Hockwell would take his place.
00:41:38.220I said this then I would I would say it again if if that seems to be the obvious case with Joe Biden.
00:41:43.560It only goes left from here. You know, a good place to end it.
00:41:47.960My colleague, Vish Burra, thanks for what you've done as an investigative reporter.
00:41:51.600Thanks for what you do now for the Congress.
00:41:53.800And my expectation is that we have not heard the last of Hunter Biden.
00:41:58.040We've not seen the last of the contents of this life. Thanks, Vish.
