The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 160 LIVE： Hunter's Business Partners – Firebrand with Matt Gaetz

00:00:00.000 Matt Gaetz, the biggest firebrand inside of the House of Representatives.

00:00:07.200 You're not taking Matt Gaetz off the board, okay?

00:00:09.980 Because Matt Gaetz is an American patriot and Matt Gaetz is an American hero.

00:00:14.720 We will not continue to allow the Uniparty to run this town without a fight. 1.00

00:00:20.300 I want to thank you, Matt Gaetz, for holding the line.

00:00:24.400 Matt Gaetz is a courageous man.

00:00:26.400 If we had hundreds of Matt Gaetz in D.C., the country turns around. It's that simple.

00:00:31.980 He's so tough. He's so strong. He's smart, and he loves this country. Matt Gaetz.

00:00:38.080 It is the honor of my life to fight alongside each and every one of you.

00:00:43.300 We will save America. It's choose your fighter time. Send in the firebrands. 1.00

00:00:48.660 I want to be crystal clear.

00:00:56.720 From my direct personal experience and what I've subsequently come to learn,

00:01:00.220 it is clear to me that Joe Biden was the brand being sold by the Biden family.

00:01:05.660 His family's foreign influence peddling operation from China to Ukraine and elsewhere

00:01:09.520 sold out to foreign actors who are seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.

00:01:15.780 Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business.

00:01:20.680 He was an active, aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself to further the business,

00:01:27.780 despised being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.

00:01:33.600 I ask this big question.

00:01:35.180 If there's no evidence of corruption here today,

00:01:37.840 if Joe's conduct and the conduct of his family were fully legal and proper,

00:01:41.380 then why are they so dishonest about it?

00:01:44.920 Not just slight misrepresentations of fact,

00:01:47.860 but deep untruths about the entire corrupt enterprise.

00:01:52.740 Hunter Biden gave his transcribed interview on February 28th and lied throughout his testimony.

00:01:58.280 Here's just one egregious example of Hunter's perjury.

00:02:01.300 He lied to the committee on important details concerning his money demands and threats to CFC

00:02:08.260 in text messages on July 30th and 31st, 2017.

00:02:13.620 He leveraged his father's presence next to him in that infamous text

00:02:16.700 to strong-arm CFC to paying Hunter immediately.

00:02:21.080 Jim Biden also lied extensively throughout his transcribed interview on February 21st and perjured himself.

00:02:27.080 An example of that, on page 100 of his transcript, Jim is asked specifically,

00:02:33.000 do you recall having a meeting with Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, and Joe Biden?

00:02:38.800 Jim's response, absolutely not.

00:02:42.780 The committee was so shocked by his perjury that they asked him the same question multiple times,

00:02:48.800 each time he denied meeting with me and Joe Biden.

00:02:51.900 After the committee showed him text messages confirming that I met with Joe Biden,

00:02:57.640 Hunter Biden, and Jim Biden at the Beverly Hilton in May 2017,

00:03:02.440 Jim Biden, with a former U.S. attorney lawyer sitting next to him,

00:03:06.560 still denied that meeting took place.

00:03:09.600 Hunter Biden, in his own transcribed interview, confirmed that that meeting took place.

00:03:15.140 Hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this committee.

00:03:19.400 I'm simply here to tell the truth to the American people,

00:03:24.140 and I hope each and every one of you, congressmen and women,

00:03:27.640 give me the opportunity to do that instead of focusing on Russia

00:03:31.520 or smearing my family's name or focusing on facts that are irrelevant today.

00:03:38.900 Welcome back to Firebrand.

00:03:40.340 We are live broadcasting out of room 2021 of the Rayburn House Office Building

00:03:43.480 here at the Capitol Complex in Washington, D.C.,

00:03:45.840 and what a week it has been.

00:03:47.820 We put on the full Biden family crime operation

00:03:50.740 in the House Oversight Committee meeting yesterday.

00:03:54.200 I am not on the House Oversight Committee,

00:03:56.080 but I was allowed to wave on, they call it,

00:03:58.720 for the purpose of asking questions.

00:04:00.400 And here's what we saw.

00:04:01.800 We saw a fusion between Joe Biden's public service

00:04:06.140 and Hunter Biden's business transactions.

00:04:08.680 And I believe that you can bribe a public official

00:04:12.440 by paying off their kid or their spouse or their brother.

00:04:18.280 And in this case, you've got a lot of Bidens getting paid off.

00:04:21.540 We traced that back to the money that was coming from China.

00:04:26.520 Tony Bobulinski, for those of you unaware,

00:04:29.680 former Biden business associate,

00:04:32.220 really out there exposing a lot of the lies

00:04:35.720 that the Bidens have told regarding the way

00:04:38.080 in which Joe Biden specifically was used

00:04:40.800 to close some of these business deals.

00:04:42.560 Here's my questioning of Tony Bobulinski.

00:04:44.400 Take a listen.

00:04:47.300 You're a serious business person, Mr. Bobulinski, right?

00:04:50.720 I am.

00:04:51.180 Unlike the convicted felon next to you,

00:04:53.860 you've served in the military, right?

00:04:57.120 Correct.

00:04:57.660 You've done big deals.

00:04:59.560 Correct.

00:05:00.000 Complicated deals.

00:05:01.960 Deals that involved foreign businesses, right?

00:05:04.760 Correct.

00:05:05.680 And so what I'm trying to figure out

00:05:07.320 is when you came to realize

00:05:09.660 that you showed up at the wrong party.

00:05:12.760 Because you kind of strike me as a guy

00:05:14.100 who showed up to do a legitimate business deal

00:05:17.300 and you ended up instead at a bribe.

00:05:20.820 And so as you're looking at CEFC,

00:05:23.920 as you're having this meeting with Joe Biden,

00:05:26.860 as Hunter Biden is introducing you to his web of contacts,

00:05:30.120 when did you go from serious businessman Tony Bobulinski

00:05:34.900 working to make a buck in a capitalist system

00:05:37.300 to a guy worried that you had been unwittingly ensnared

00:05:42.440 into Hunter and Joe Biden's bribe operation

00:05:45.260 with the Chinese Communist Party?

00:05:47.060 I appreciate the question.

00:05:48.400 It wasn't an aha moment.

00:05:50.040 It was more of a process.

00:05:51.820 I am a serious businessman,

00:05:53.180 demonstrated by the different deals I've done

00:05:55.260 around the world and the success of them.

00:05:57.840 But it started, remember, the Biden family

00:06:00.340 wasn't my entry into this.

00:06:02.900 James Gillier, who I'd known for over 10 years,

00:06:05.620 who traveled the world doing business,

00:06:07.000 kept trying to get me involved.

00:06:08.520 I really had no interest, no interest.

00:06:10.680 I got, I sat down in the spring of 2017

00:06:13.420 to walk through things.

00:06:15.240 And then I quickly put together two businesses,

00:06:17.880 Sino Hawk and Oneida.

00:06:19.660 After the meetings in Los Angeles

00:06:21.960 with Hunter and Joe Biden,

00:06:23.660 it started to sort of,

00:06:26.620 bells and whistles started to go off

00:06:27.840 when Jim Biden used the term plausible deniability.

00:06:30.880 Plausible deniability is the first moment,

00:06:33.600 straight from the lips of Jim Biden,

00:06:35.720 right on the heels of your discussion with Joe Biden,

00:06:38.420 where you start to think,

00:06:39.520 this might not be legit.

00:06:41.640 Correct.

00:06:42.160 And my lawyers at the time could attest to that

00:06:44.420 because I reached out to them saying,

00:06:46.880 listen, I'm a former naval officer.

00:06:49.040 I held a Q security clearance.

00:06:50.940 I couldn't collect,

00:06:52.460 somebody couldn't take me to dinner for $50.

00:06:54.960 This just does not make sense to me.

00:06:57.600 But you proceed, but you proceed.

00:06:59.280 And then later this thing starts to get a lot uglier.

00:07:01.980 What's the moment you go from,

00:07:03.360 okay, your spidey senses are up,

00:07:04.860 you're analyzing this,

00:07:05.860 to now you know this is a crime

00:07:08.200 that you are bearing witness to?

00:07:09.660 The end of July,

00:07:11.720 when the Biden family put them right front and center

00:07:14.220 in the middle of a $9 billion transaction

00:07:16.700 between the Russian state-owned energy company,

00:07:20.020 Rosneft and CFC,

00:07:23.200 a surrogate for the Chinese Communist Party.

00:07:25.520 And was there ever a time in the deals

00:07:26.820 you were involved in

00:07:28.080 where you started to see the money move around

00:07:31.620 the legitimate business enterprise

00:07:33.920 and toward the pockets of the Bidens?

00:07:36.720 Well, the challenge, Mr. Gates, with that is

00:07:38.660 at the time they moved the money, right?

00:07:42.120 You guys have the text messages

00:07:43.460 where Hunter Biden shook down Director Zhang,

00:07:45.860 but I was not aware of that.

00:07:47.420 I spent a year asking questions of,

00:07:50.600 this doesn't make sense to me,

00:07:52.480 where's the money?

00:07:53.600 I stepped in and had lawyers work

00:07:55.740 to dissolve the two entities.

00:07:57.380 I didn't know until years later

00:07:58.960 that they had defrauded me,

00:08:00.420 they had gotten paid all this money,

00:08:02.240 and all this craziness.

00:08:04.100 The amount of fact...

00:08:04.560 It just seems pretty simple.

00:08:05.600 This is either a bribe or a business.

00:08:07.180 It was a bribe from the Chinese Communist Party.

00:08:09.020 And I don't say that lightly.

00:08:12.620 There's 1,200 pages,

00:08:15.560 eight days of testimony

00:08:16.920 in the Southern District of New York.

00:08:19.460 I encourage everyone watching me,

00:08:21.240 hearing me say this,

00:08:22.340 they're publicly available.

00:08:23.880 Go read them.

00:08:25.460 Our Department of Justice

00:08:27.040 outlines in intimate detail

00:08:29.280 the corruption and bribes

00:08:30.920 that CFC was deploying

00:08:32.420 to political officials all over the world.

00:08:34.780 It wasn't just in the United States.

00:08:35.020 So I'm here to believe

00:08:36.240 that they did this in every other country,

00:08:38.600 but with the Biden family,

00:08:40.300 it was pristine.

00:08:41.920 It was an actual clean business.

00:08:43.520 That's absurd.

00:08:45.140 And you came to know that,

00:08:46.760 and that's when you blew the whistle, right?

00:08:48.080 That's when you started to get worried,

00:08:50.000 when you saw Joe Biden...

00:08:50.760 I stepped away from it.

00:08:51.860 There's the whistleblowers,

00:08:53.300 I can't give them kudos enough

00:08:55.060 for the bravery and the risk

00:08:56.140 they put their family in.

00:08:57.480 They publish stuff

00:08:58.580 where I am voicing the concern

00:09:00.400 of the Rosneft deal.

00:09:01.700 And you animated your concerns

00:09:03.320 when you saw that this wasn't just

00:09:05.200 a corrupt bribe,

00:09:06.800 a corrupt business deal

00:09:07.720 happening to a guy

00:09:08.540 who used to be vice president.

00:09:10.120 When you see that Joe...

00:09:11.060 Everyone's made a big deal,

00:09:12.060 like you're a bad guy

00:09:12.940 that you showed up at the debate,

00:09:14.360 or you're trying to give life

00:09:16.600 to these facts that you've observed,

00:09:18.920 that it's so bad

00:09:19.760 that you did that

00:09:20.340 during a political contest.

00:09:22.060 But observing this,

00:09:23.820 it kind of seems like

00:09:24.660 it would be unpatriotic

00:09:25.680 for you to stay quiet.

00:09:26.840 Of course.

00:09:28.080 And so, I mean,

00:09:29.040 Joe Biden running for president

00:09:30.780 clearly motivated the Chinese

00:09:33.340 to consummate this bribe.

00:09:35.300 Did it also motivate you?

00:09:37.180 Well, I didn't want to go public.

00:09:38.900 I wanted to simply unload

00:09:40.780 all the facts,

00:09:41.660 personal experiences.

00:09:43.120 It's funny,

00:09:43.580 there's 18 people on this committee

00:09:45.620 with law degrees,

00:09:46.700 including, I think,

00:09:47.880 Mr. Swalwell.

00:09:49.240 Evidence,

00:09:49.940 firsthand testimony,

00:09:51.160 is the most powerful evidence

00:09:52.340 you have.

00:09:53.060 I've given it,

00:09:53.940 Mr. Galanis has given it,

00:09:55.840 along with a whole host

00:09:57.260 of other witnesses.

00:09:58.680 Then, on top of that,

00:09:59.980 I have thousands of documents

00:10:01.740 and pages of legals

00:10:04.040 and stuff like that.

00:10:04.860 Well, that's what's interesting,

00:10:05.660 Mr. Bobulence.

00:10:06.480 I wanted to simply give

00:10:06.660 this information

00:10:07.620 to congressmen and senators

00:10:09.420 and let the injuners go. 0.98

00:10:09.740 No one questioned

00:10:10.200 any of your facts.

00:10:11.340 No one brought

00:10:11.860 a single piece of evidence

00:10:13.080 that even for a moment

00:10:15.080 discredited any of the

00:10:16.300 truthful testimony

00:10:17.160 that you've given us.

00:10:18.020 No, they did not.

00:10:18.340 I think my time's expired.

00:10:19.140 I yield back.

00:10:21.740 All right, we're back live.

00:10:22.980 Heather on Facebook says,

00:10:24.060 this is a waste of money 0.99

00:10:25.180 and I am ridiculous. 0.91

00:10:26.640 Will on Rumble 0.98

00:10:27.320 wants to choke out Bill Gates.

00:10:28.920 Not sure what that has

00:10:29.560 to do with this

00:10:30.080 except that we are not related.

00:10:31.900 And SoCal on YouTube says,

00:10:33.620 there are no consequences

00:10:34.760 for Democrats. 0.91

00:10:35.960 Republicans are weak.

00:10:37.420 We have to build the case.

00:10:38.360 We have to deliver

00:10:38.820 those consequences.

00:10:40.180 One person who I thought

00:10:41.360 really developed

00:10:42.640 the evidence well

00:10:43.700 regarding the direct link

00:10:45.140 to the Biden family

00:10:45.980 and Joe Biden

00:10:46.600 was Congresswoman Nancy Mace.

00:10:48.100 Take a listen.

00:10:48.520 On March 1st, 2024,

00:10:52.460 Joe Biden stated

00:10:53.220 he did not interact

00:10:54.240 with Hunter

00:10:54.680 or Jim Biden

00:10:55.420 Business Associates.

00:10:56.940 Mr. Chairman,

00:10:57.500 I'd like to ask

00:10:58.580 unanimous consent

00:10:59.340 to enter into a record

00:11:00.380 New York Post article.

00:11:01.440 Biden insists

00:11:01.960 he did not interact

00:11:02.800 with his...

00:11:03.480 Without objection to order.

00:11:04.720 We're going to go fast here.

00:11:06.120 I have strictly

00:11:06.600 yes or no questions.

00:11:07.800 On that note,

00:11:08.620 the New York Post article,

00:11:09.620 Joe Biden also said,

00:11:10.860 read the record

00:11:11.460 of every single witness.

00:11:13.100 So I did.

00:11:14.880 I first read

00:11:15.900 Devin Archer's deposition

00:11:17.020 and he interacted

00:11:17.820 with Joe Biden.

00:11:18.620 Then I read the transcripts

00:11:19.680 of Rob Walker,

00:11:20.460 Eric Schwerin,

00:11:21.100 George Burgess,

00:11:21.840 Kevin Morris,

00:11:22.380 Tony Bobulinski,

00:11:23.300 and Jason Galanis.

00:11:25.140 And every single one of them

00:11:26.900 interacted with Joe Biden.

00:11:29.680 And that's just the people

00:11:30.780 we interviewed.

00:11:31.540 Mr. Galanis,

00:11:32.300 my first questions are for you.

00:11:34.160 Did Hunter Biden

00:11:34.820 call Joe Biden

00:11:35.540 with Elaine Baterina

00:11:36.840 on the line

00:11:37.480 on May 4th, 2014,

00:11:39.020 yes or no?

00:11:40.740 Yes.

00:11:41.380 In that call,

00:11:42.080 did Hunter Biden

00:11:42.580 state on this call

00:11:43.600 with Joe Biden

00:11:44.300 that everything is good

00:11:45.360 and we are moving forward?

00:11:47.820 Yes, he did.

00:11:48.740 Okay.

00:11:49.040 On the same call

00:11:49.840 to Joe Biden

00:11:50.460 in the call

00:11:51.080 with saying,

00:11:51.680 okay, then you be good

00:11:52.720 to my boy.

00:11:54.860 Yes, he said that as well.

00:11:56.120 Okay.

00:11:56.340 Did Baterina agree

00:11:58.220 to put $20 million

00:11:59.340 into one of Hunter Biden's

00:12:00.780 business projects

00:12:01.480 days later

00:12:02.000 after this phone call?

00:12:04.480 Yes.

00:12:05.180 Okay.

00:12:05.620 Did Hunter Biden

00:12:06.240 ever take a call

00:12:07.060 from Joe Biden

00:12:07.680 while at the Peninsula Bar

00:12:08.680 in New York?

00:12:10.700 I'm sorry.

00:12:11.380 I didn't hear a letter.

00:12:12.000 Did Hunter Biden

00:12:12.620 ever take a call

00:12:13.340 from Joe Biden

00:12:14.060 while at the Peninsula Bar

00:12:15.200 in New York?

00:12:16.780 Yes, he did.

00:12:17.460 Did this,

00:12:18.020 during this call

00:12:18.660 did Hunter Biden

00:12:19.240 update Joe Biden

00:12:20.200 on progress

00:12:20.780 in a landing

00:12:21.300 a business partnership

00:12:22.180 with Harvest Fund Management?

00:12:25.320 Yes.

00:12:26.020 Okay.

00:12:26.660 Was Harvest

00:12:27.300 a $300 billion

00:12:28.300 Chinese financial services company

00:12:30.220 closely tied

00:12:30.900 to the Chinese Communist Party?

00:12:33.540 Yes, it was.

00:12:34.620 Okay.

00:12:34.900 Is Hunter Biden involved

00:12:35.940 with Harvest?

00:12:39.640 Hunter Biden

00:12:40.240 was involved

00:12:40.580 in two ways.

00:12:41.480 Through BHR,

00:12:42.160 which is the fund

00:12:43.080 Yes or no.

00:12:43.520 Was Hunter Biden

00:12:44.780 involved with Harvest?

00:12:45.700 Yes or no?

00:12:47.340 Yes.

00:12:47.960 Okay.

00:12:48.440 As part of the deal

00:12:49.160 As part of the deal

00:12:51.020 did Hunter Biden

00:12:51.660 want the company

00:12:52.320 to reserve a board seat

00:12:53.240 for Joe Biden?

00:12:55.160 Yes.

00:12:55.880 Okay.

00:12:56.220 Did Henry Zhao,

00:12:57.340 a Chinese business

00:12:58.060 and want assurances

00:12:59.020 Joe Biden

00:12:59.560 would join the board?

00:13:00.280 Yes or no?

00:13:02.020 Yes, he did.

00:13:02.880 Okay.

00:13:03.300 Did Hunter Biden

00:13:03.820 in emails as well?

00:13:05.500 Okay, thank you.

00:13:06.000 Did Hunter Biden draft

00:13:08.320 an email stating

00:13:09.120 please also remind

00:13:10.120 Henry Zhao

00:13:10.620 of our conversation

00:13:11.380 about a board seat

00:13:12.180 for a certain relation of mine?

00:13:14.000 Devin and I golfed

00:13:14.800 with that relation

00:13:15.440 earlier this week

00:13:16.200 and we discussed

00:13:16.820 this very idea again

00:13:18.040 and as always

00:13:18.800 he remains very,

00:13:19.960 very keen

00:13:20.360 on the opportunity.

00:13:22.180 Here is a photo

00:13:23.700 of Joe Biden

00:13:25.400 and Devin Archer

00:13:26.680 and Hunter Biden

00:13:27.340 golfing days

00:13:28.100 before the alleged

00:13:28.840 email draft.

00:13:29.680 Do you believe

00:13:30.260 a certain relation

00:13:31.360 of mine

00:13:31.720 refers to Joe Biden?

00:13:33.720 I don't think

00:13:34.400 there's any question.

00:13:35.020 It was based on

00:13:35.480 first-hand conversations

00:13:36.500 with Devin Archer

00:13:37.220 who was in that picture

00:13:38.960 and at that golf meeting.

00:13:39.840 Did you ever meet

00:13:41.180 with Devin Archer

00:13:42.100 where Hunter took calls

00:13:43.240 from his father?

00:13:46.340 Yes.

00:13:47.000 Okay, during one

00:13:47.680 of these phone calls

00:13:48.420 and Hunter Biden

00:13:48.920 told Joe Biden

00:13:49.660 that he and Henry Zhao

00:13:50.520 needed help getting

00:13:51.300 quote,

00:13:51.760 getting across

00:13:52.420 the finish line.

00:13:54.360 Yes, that's correct.

00:13:55.400 Okay, Mr. Bob Alinsky,

00:13:56.660 do you recall

00:13:57.120 receiving an email

00:13:57.840 that floated the possibility

00:13:58.840 of giving 10% ownership

00:14:00.020 of Sino Hawk

00:14:00.640 to Joe Biden

00:14:01.160 through Hunter Biden?

00:14:01.860 Yes.

00:14:02.200 Okay, my questions,

00:14:03.540 my last questions

00:14:04.180 are for both of you

00:14:04.900 very quickly.

00:14:06.400 Mr. Bob Alinsky

00:14:07.240 and Mr. Galanis,

00:14:08.120 you both stated

00:14:08.740 you were told

00:14:09.200 not to use Joe Biden's

00:14:10.300 name in communications,

00:14:11.240 correct, Mr. Bob Alinsky?

00:14:12.240 Correct.

00:14:12.740 Mr. Galanis?

00:14:14.580 Yes.

00:14:15.240 Okay, did Joe Biden

00:14:16.560 participate in phone

00:14:17.520 conversations and meetings

00:14:18.560 with Hunter Biden,

00:14:19.180 his business associates,

00:14:20.100 and foreign interests,

00:14:20.740 yes or no?

00:14:21.560 Mr. Bob Alinsky?

00:14:22.480 He clearly did.

00:14:23.480 Okay, Mr. Galanis,

00:14:24.600 yes or no?

00:14:26.220 Yes.

00:14:26.980 Okay, in Hunter Biden's

00:14:28.580 deposition he said

00:14:29.520 he did not involve

00:14:30.600 his father in his business.

00:14:31.760 Did Hunter Biden

00:14:32.420 lie under oath,

00:14:33.140 yes or no?

00:14:34.000 Mr. Bob Alinsky?

00:14:34.960 Yes.

00:14:35.460 Mr. Galanis?

00:14:37.240 If that's what he said,

00:14:38.140 yes, I will be on the road.

00:14:39.260 Is Joe Biden lying

00:14:40.360 when he says

00:14:40.860 he did not interact

00:14:41.700 with Hunter Biden,

00:14:42.420 Jim Biden,

00:14:42.880 their business partners

00:14:43.560 or foreign interests,

00:14:44.500 yes or no?

00:14:45.220 Yes.

00:14:45.740 Mr. Galanis?

00:14:47.540 Yes.

00:14:47.920 All right.

00:14:49.080 In a debate on October 22nd,

00:14:51.040 2020, Joe Biden denied

00:14:52.280 Hunter Biden made money

00:14:53.140 from China.

00:14:54.000 Did Hunter Biden

00:14:54.520 and his business associates

00:14:55.460 and foreign interests

00:14:56.100 include money

00:14:56.620 from Chinese businesses,

00:14:57.740 business partners,

00:14:58.520 and or interests?

00:14:59.520 Yes or no?

00:15:00.600 Mr. Bob Alinsky?

00:15:02.540 I'm sorry,

00:15:03.580 did the Biden family

00:15:05.540 make money?

00:15:06.080 Did Hunter Biden receive money

00:15:06.100 from Chinese business interests?

00:15:07.880 Mr. Galanis?

00:15:09.780 Did Hunter Biden receive money

00:15:11.420 from Chinese business interests?

00:15:12.960 Yes or no?

00:15:13.460 Yes, he was.

00:15:17.440 Okay, thank you.

00:15:18.060 Yes, economic interests said yes.

00:15:19.680 All right.

00:15:20.080 Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed

00:15:22.080 that he was not involved

00:15:23.220 in Hunter Biden,

00:15:26.100 Jim Biden,

00:15:26.540 or any other

00:15:27.000 Biden family business deals.

00:15:28.540 Today, our witnesses

00:15:29.860 have proved otherwise.

00:15:32.220 Today, we've established

00:15:33.160 Joe Biden lied about

00:15:34.240 interacting with Hunter Biden's

00:15:35.480 business associates.

00:15:36.660 It is my belief

00:15:37.520 Joe Biden is the closer

00:15:39.020 for Hunter Biden,

00:15:40.000 Jim Biden,

00:15:40.500 and their business associates

00:15:41.720 and foreign interests.

00:15:42.500 Good luck to the left

00:15:44.080 proving otherwise.

00:15:45.580 Thank you,

00:15:46.020 and I yield back.

00:15:48.820 We're back live.

00:15:49.880 A lot of love

00:15:50.500 for Congresswoman Mace

00:15:51.800 on the live stream.

00:15:52.920 Amy on Rumble 0.99

00:15:53.920 saying Mace to the point.

00:15:56.200 Couldn't agree more,

00:15:57.020 but on the opposite side

00:15:58.680 of the spectrum,

00:15:59.560 we had a member of Congress

00:16:00.540 in the hearing

00:16:01.080 who embarrassed herself

00:16:02.340 because she did not know

00:16:03.680 that RICO was a violation

00:16:05.040 of federal criminal law.

00:16:06.340 Here's Congresswoman 0.96

00:16:07.080 Ocasio-Cortez

00:16:08.040 getting corrected

00:16:08.820 by Tony Bobulinski.

00:16:09.960 Take a listen.

00:16:12.500 RICO,

00:16:13.380 you're obviously

00:16:13.880 not familiar with.

00:16:14.920 Corruption statute.

00:16:15.420 Excuse me, sir.

00:16:16.380 Excuse me, sir.

00:16:17.780 Excuse me, sir.

00:16:19.180 RICO is not a crime.

00:16:21.340 It is a category.

00:16:23.180 What is the crime?

00:16:24.040 It's a category of crimes

00:16:25.500 that you're then charged

00:16:26.740 under a long hundredth

00:16:28.720 You have charges.

00:16:30.580 Sir, please name.

00:16:31.340 The time can be reclaimed,

00:16:47.420 but the dignity cannot be.

00:16:48.660 That was spilled everywhere.

00:16:51.240 Tony Bobulinski just needed

00:16:52.980 an opportunity to tell his story

00:16:54.860 because he was the inside man.

00:16:56.540 He saw the way

00:16:57.540 a business apparatus

00:16:59.240 was created

00:17:01.260 to be an illusion

00:17:02.500 when in reality

00:17:03.820 this was just all about

00:17:04.860 the payment of bribes

00:17:06.260 from the Chinese

00:17:07.120 to the Biden family.

00:17:09.160 There was great questioning

00:17:09.800 on this point

00:17:10.680 from Congressman Tim Birchett

00:17:12.040 of Tennessee.

00:17:12.680 Take a listen.

00:17:15.460 On July 30th, 2017,

00:17:18.120 Hunter Biden wrote

00:17:18.780 to his Chinese business associate,

00:17:21.340 Raymond Zhao,

00:17:22.240 I'm sitting here

00:17:22.880 with my father

00:17:23.560 and we would like

00:17:24.420 to understand

00:17:24.980 why the commitment made

00:17:26.160 has not been fulfilled.

00:17:28.040 Mr. Bobulinski,

00:17:28.900 why did Raymond Zhao work

00:17:30.020 for the,

00:17:31.460 who did Raymond Zhao work

00:17:32.720 for when this message

00:17:33.740 was sent?

00:17:34.420 Raymond Zhao worked

00:17:35.340 for Director Zhang at CFC.

00:17:37.560 Is CFC connected

00:17:39.280 to the Chinese Communist Party?

00:17:40.880 It is.

00:17:41.960 Is CFC a corrupt organization?

00:17:44.460 It was.

00:17:46.140 From your perspective,

00:17:47.740 what has occurred,

00:17:49.260 what had occurred

00:17:49.840 with CFC

00:17:50.500 from the end of May

00:17:51.500 to this July 30th text message?

00:17:54.980 Well, it's tough

00:17:56.160 to go through

00:17:57.120 all these details

00:17:57.760 in 20-second clips,

00:17:59.220 but at the end of July,

00:18:00.540 it's important to note

00:18:01.340 Jim Biden was broke.

00:18:03.980 Hunter Biden was broke.

00:18:06.580 Published by

00:18:07.380 the brave whistleblowers,

00:18:10.020 Shapley and Ziegler.

00:18:11.220 And Hunter

00:18:12.160 made the conscious decision

00:18:14.080 to basically defraud

00:18:16.580 the partners

00:18:17.100 of Sino Hawk Holdings

00:18:18.160 and Oneida

00:18:18.760 because he needed money

00:18:20.260 immediately.

00:18:21.440 They've published pages

00:18:22.720 of text messages

00:18:23.640 where he's trying

00:18:24.580 to get money

00:18:25.120 into his bank account.

00:18:26.600 And so that night,

00:18:27.560 for whatever reason,

00:18:28.900 on the 30th,

00:18:29.780 when he asked

00:18:30.540 why hasn't the commitment

00:18:31.900 been fulfilled,

00:18:33.420 the commitment

00:18:33.960 he's talking about

00:18:35.100 is actually

00:18:35.920 the $10 million funding

00:18:37.600 into Sino Hawk Holdings,

00:18:39.820 LLC.

00:18:41.020 Really key point.

00:18:42.320 But the next day,

00:18:44.280 he decides

00:18:45.780 that he's going

00:18:46.460 to defraud

00:18:47.220 Sino Hawk Holdings

00:18:48.120 and Oneida,

00:18:49.280 create a new entity

00:18:50.420 called Hudson West 3.

00:18:51.860 Well, actually,

00:18:52.400 change Hudson West 3

00:18:53.960 had already previously

00:18:54.920 been created

00:18:55.820 by the Chinese

00:18:56.640 and make himself

00:18:58.020 a 50% owner

00:18:59.400 in that entity.

00:19:00.740 So when the Chinese 0.97

00:19:01.840 did send money,

00:19:02.980 he would have

00:19:03.400 instant access to it.

00:19:05.160 Really important.

00:19:06.340 Backed up with

00:19:06.840 tens of pages

00:19:08.380 of communications.

00:19:09.880 He wanted to get

00:19:10.640 access to the money

00:19:11.640 the second it came in.

00:19:13.280 And in Sino Hawk Holdings

00:19:14.500 and Oneida Holdings,

00:19:15.720 he did not have that power.

00:19:17.440 I just want to address

00:19:18.120 one thing real quick.

00:19:19.220 Hunter Biden represents,

00:19:20.180 he's a governance expert.

00:19:21.900 That's why Burisma

00:19:22.540 put him on the board.

00:19:24.160 Well, he obviously

00:19:24.920 can't do basic math.

00:19:26.920 The board of Oneida Holdings

00:19:28.220 had seven votes.

00:19:30.100 Each one of them,

00:19:31.120 Hunter, Jim Biden,

00:19:32.880 James Gillian,

00:19:33.620 Rob Walker

00:19:34.140 had a single vote.

00:19:35.540 I had three votes.

00:19:37.960 I have a master's degree

00:19:38.940 in electrical

00:19:39.440 and nuclear engineering.

00:19:40.900 I think I can do math.

00:19:42.180 I had three.

00:19:43.240 They had four.

00:19:44.580 They controlled

00:19:45.440 Oneida Holdings.

00:19:47.160 So Hunter Biden's

00:19:48.280 representations

00:19:49.000 that I was trying

00:19:50.460 to take the business

00:19:51.300 from them

00:19:51.980 or I didn't know

00:19:52.980 is all a sham

00:19:54.200 and a misrepresentation.

00:19:55.740 He wanted money

00:19:56.420 in his account instantly.

00:19:58.500 And that's why

00:19:59.040 he shook down the Chinese 1.00

00:20:00.400 and they were willing

00:20:01.360 to send him

00:20:01.960 that five million dollars

00:20:03.000 because they viewed it

00:20:04.140 as a bribe

00:20:05.040 to the Biden family.

00:20:06.300 They say it

00:20:07.180 in their own communications.

00:20:09.480 Are you aware

00:20:10.280 or not

00:20:10.620 that they pay taxes

00:20:11.700 on any of that?

00:20:13.080 I can only go

00:20:14.380 from public testimony.

00:20:15.360 I was not involved

00:20:16.280 in their taxes.

00:20:17.160 Okay.

00:20:17.440 On July 31st,

00:20:18.460 the next day,

00:20:19.100 Hunter says he hopes

00:20:20.980 Kevin should know

00:20:22.720 that the plan

00:20:23.320 to speak

00:20:23.840 is highly confidential.

00:20:25.800 And Raymond Zow

00:20:26.460 responded,

00:20:27.180 CEFC is willing

00:20:28.240 to cooperate

00:20:28.740 with the family

00:20:29.520 and the priorities

00:20:30.200 to solve the problems

00:20:31.180 mentioned last night.

00:20:32.660 What family

00:20:33.260 was Raymond Zow

00:20:33.980 talking about?

00:20:35.800 Was it the Biden family?

00:20:36.020 Well, the family

00:20:36.600 was the Biden family

00:20:37.580 and more importantly

00:20:38.500 in that text

00:20:39.180 is what is he talking about

00:20:40.960 is the confidential manner.

00:20:42.740 The confidential matter

00:20:44.000 he's talking about

00:20:44.980 were four sealed indictments

00:20:46.780 in the SDNY

00:20:47.820 where they were about

00:20:48.960 to indict executives

00:20:50.240 of CEFC

00:20:51.260 that we now know.

00:20:52.740 I didn't know that

00:20:53.460 in July of 2017

00:20:54.820 but the SDNY knew.

00:20:57.140 Charles McGonigal,

00:20:58.400 who's now apparently

00:20:59.120 going to serve

00:20:59.560 78 months in prison,

00:21:01.660 ran counterintelligence

00:21:03.000 for the FBI

00:21:03.800 in New York City

00:21:05.140 where Chairman Yee

00:21:06.220 was dropping

00:21:06.780 $50 million of cash

00:21:08.960 for penthouses

00:21:10.040 in Manhattan.

00:21:12.340 So who you should be asking

00:21:13.800 all these questions are

00:21:14.800 the Department of Justice,

00:21:16.320 the SDNY,

00:21:17.560 the FBI

00:21:18.060 because they have

00:21:18.820 troves of evidence

00:21:20.100 that back up

00:21:21.140 what was going on

00:21:22.160 in July 2017

00:21:23.360 and in August 2017.

00:21:25.760 So I apologize,

00:21:26.700 Congressman,

00:21:27.140 to be so passionate

00:21:27.940 and to take your time

00:21:29.220 but this is what

00:21:30.360 I need you guys

00:21:31.280 or the focus

00:21:32.760 has to be

00:21:33.660 of your oversight committee.

00:21:35.060 This involved

00:21:35.620 the Chinese Communist Party.

00:21:37.220 They were doing

00:21:37.760 a transaction

00:21:38.400 with Rosneft

00:21:39.240 which was a Russian

00:21:40.300 sanctioned,

00:21:41.800 US sanctioned company

00:21:42.840 at the time

00:21:43.400 and the Biden family

00:21:44.500 was right front

00:21:45.560 and center

00:21:45.980 in the middle of it.

00:21:47.500 Thank you.

00:21:48.380 I'll switch gears

00:21:48.880 for a second.

00:21:49.640 I wish Hunter Biden

00:21:50.420 were here

00:21:50.820 because I'd like

00:21:51.420 to ask him

00:21:52.020 about his taxes.

00:21:53.280 I want to know

00:21:53.720 if he paid his fair share

00:21:55.000 just like his dad

00:21:55.940 has some Americans to do.

00:21:57.080 I want to know

00:21:57.500 if he's current

00:21:58.420 on his taxes

00:21:59.140 and if he isn't

00:22:00.200 I'd like to ask him

00:22:01.440 when he plans

00:22:02.680 to pay up.

00:22:03.780 Mr. Bobulinski,

00:22:04.680 you're a businessman.

00:22:05.560 Did you pay your taxes?

00:22:06.820 I did.

00:22:07.780 Mr. Bobulinski,

00:22:08.940 he actually pays his taxes

00:22:10.720 unlike the president's son

00:22:12.320 and yet Democrats

00:22:12.960 on this committee

00:22:13.720 act like Hunter

00:22:14.420 is a believable one

00:22:15.380 out of you too.

00:22:17.040 Joe Biden has no right

00:22:18.280 to elect

00:22:18.900 for the American people

00:22:19.720 about their taxes

00:22:20.520 until he gets his own house

00:22:21.780 in order.

00:22:22.200 Thank you,

00:22:22.520 Mr. Chairman.

00:22:25.460 We're back live

00:22:26.660 and Frank on Getter

00:22:29.220 asks the question,

00:22:30.960 well actually makes

00:22:31.440 the statement,

00:22:32.000 DOJ,

00:22:32.660 do your job

00:22:33.480 or get out of the way.

00:22:34.500 So the DOJ

00:22:35.420 has a role here

00:22:36.920 that's not just

00:22:38.080 protecting the Bidens

00:22:39.520 but in the words

00:22:40.860 of some,

00:22:41.900 they're actually

00:22:42.640 retaliating

00:22:44.040 against some of the people

00:22:45.160 who speak out

00:22:45.900 against the Bidens.

00:22:47.380 Jason Galanis

00:22:48.100 is a former

00:22:48.960 Hunter Biden

00:22:49.840 business associate.

00:22:50.980 They were in some

00:22:51.640 of the same corrupt

00:22:52.400 deals together

00:22:53.120 and when they were

00:22:54.060 exposed as corrupt,

00:22:55.140 Jason Galanis

00:22:55.840 went to prison

00:22:56.980 where he was

00:22:58.000 giving his testimony

00:22:59.180 from at the hearing

00:23:00.480 this week.

00:23:01.980 But Jason Galanis

00:23:02.740 believes that the DOJ

00:23:03.980 indeed is not just

00:23:05.620 hands off

00:23:06.380 but they are acting

00:23:07.440 in a malicious way

00:23:08.580 against the interests

00:23:09.340 of justice.

00:23:10.140 Take a listen.

00:23:13.120 The Democrats

00:23:14.040 could have sent anyone.

00:23:16.060 They could have sent

00:23:16.960 Hunter Biden.

00:23:18.300 They could have sent

00:23:18.980 Joe Biden.

00:23:19.800 They could have sent

00:23:20.220 Rob Walker.

00:23:21.100 They could have sent

00:23:21.620 Devin Archer.

00:23:22.240 The Democrats

00:23:22.800 could have sought

00:23:23.720 any person

00:23:24.600 to come and refute

00:23:26.060 the direct evidence

00:23:27.380 backed up by bank statements,

00:23:29.000 backed up by calendar entries,

00:23:30.560 backed up by emails,

00:23:31.680 backed up by text messages.

00:23:33.600 And who did the Democrats

00:23:34.800 send

00:23:35.420 to clear the name

00:23:36.940 of Joe and Hunter Biden?

00:23:38.720 They sent Lev Parnas.

00:23:40.820 Lev Parnas,

00:23:41.760 who was charged

00:23:42.940 with enough crimes

00:23:44.080 and violating

00:23:45.180 our campaign finance laws

00:23:46.760 to, like,

00:23:49.360 serve 50 years

00:23:50.580 but he gets

00:23:51.620 four months.

00:23:53.540 And, like,

00:23:54.280 the big, like,

00:23:55.400 grand criminal conspiracy

00:23:56.900 Mr. Parnas

00:23:57.560 is involved in

00:23:58.240 is using Russian

00:23:59.980 oligarch money

00:24:01.040 to try to get

00:24:02.440 marijuana licenses,

00:24:04.600 which seems odd,

00:24:06.460 and then using

00:24:07.500 that Russian money 0.89

00:24:08.340 to plow into campaigns

00:24:09.680 in order to achieve

00:24:10.780 that objective.

00:24:11.540 But the fraud

00:24:12.300 he committed

00:24:12.780 wasn't just

00:24:13.580 on our election system

00:24:14.860 by plowing Russian money,

00:24:16.540 it was also

00:24:17.700 a fraud

00:24:18.300 on his own investors

00:24:19.640 who didn't get it.

00:24:20.740 So I guess,

00:24:21.220 Mr. Bobulinski,

00:24:22.260 as you hear

00:24:23.180 Maxwell Frost,

00:24:25.100 my colleague on the

00:24:25.780 Democrat side,

00:24:26.460 say that Mr. Parnas,

00:24:28.340 fresh off of his

00:24:29.500 prison time,

00:24:30.440 is the most credible

00:24:31.600 witness we've had

00:24:32.680 to address

00:24:33.420 these business dealings.

00:24:34.700 What's your reaction to that?

00:24:35.860 I think it's laughable

00:24:37.260 that the Democrats

00:24:39.080 are asking

00:24:40.020 Lev Parnas

00:24:41.080 to weigh in

00:24:41.660 on my credibility,

00:24:43.160 a convicted felon

00:24:44.260 that served jail time.

00:24:46.160 I have an impeccable record.

00:24:48.060 Now, he warned me

00:24:48.900 earlier in this hearing

00:24:49.640 that they're coming for me.

00:24:51.200 I look forward to that.

00:24:51.820 I said just keep talking.

00:24:52.740 You'll be there soon.

00:24:53.300 I look forward to that,

00:24:54.260 Mr. Parnas.

00:24:54.720 Keep lying.

00:24:55.280 You'll be there soon.

00:24:56.240 Well, and

00:24:56.880 is that a threat,

00:24:58.120 Mr. Parnas?

00:24:58.660 No, it's just the truth.

00:24:59.600 No, did you say

00:25:00.380 they were coming for me?

00:25:01.460 No, I said

00:25:02.100 if you keep lying,

00:25:03.000 you will end up in prison.

00:25:03.780 I'm not lying.

00:25:04.620 You're the one

00:25:05.100 who was lying.

00:25:05.860 Nothing to say.

00:25:06.260 You're the one

00:25:06.700 who went to prison

00:25:07.260 for lying.

00:25:07.280 What am I lying for?

00:25:08.260 Tell me what we're

00:25:08.860 lying for, Mr. Bobaranski.

00:25:10.240 What?

00:25:10.400 You don't even know

00:25:10.800 what you're talking about.

00:25:11.560 What am I lying?

00:25:12.600 You went to prison

00:25:13.540 for lying and defrauding

00:25:14.900 your investors?

00:25:15.720 What am I lying here?

00:25:16.260 What am I lying here?

00:25:17.120 Oh, the list is long.

00:25:18.380 We don't have enough time.

00:25:19.400 I think Mr. Gates

00:25:20.360 only has a minute.

00:25:21.080 I think you're a little scared

00:25:22.020 just like Mr. Gates

00:25:22.860 because Mr. Gates

00:25:23.860 doesn't even ask a question.

00:25:25.040 You're filibustering.

00:25:25.840 I've been here for six hours

00:25:26.940 and not one of your

00:25:27.960 committee members

00:25:28.620 has asked me one question.

00:25:30.180 You want to hear the truth.

00:25:31.020 I asked a question

00:25:33.360 about your illegal

00:25:34.240 business dealing.

00:25:34.740 I've been here for seven hours.

00:25:35.800 Mr. Bobulinski.

00:25:36.540 Ask me some questions.

00:25:37.320 Fraud is a crime, right?

00:25:38.560 Go ahead.

00:25:39.120 Correct.

00:25:39.580 Fraud is a crime.

00:25:40.460 Fraud is a crime

00:25:41.220 and you observed fraud

00:25:43.480 on the part of the Bidens, right?

00:25:44.800 I did.

00:25:45.380 Crystal clear.

00:25:46.400 So much so

00:25:46.940 I had an independent law firm

00:25:48.480 spend $300,000

00:25:49.940 to analyze that fraud

00:25:51.780 and put together

00:25:52.680 a fully ready

00:25:53.700 fileable lawsuit

00:25:54.820 against the Biden family.

00:25:56.760 And bribery is a crime, right?

00:25:58.540 Correct.

00:25:58.780 And what you observed

00:26:00.380 with Joe Biden

00:26:01.420 trying to get you

00:26:02.380 into this business deal

00:26:03.620 with Hunter Biden,

00:26:04.720 what you later learned

00:26:05.800 about that business deal

00:26:06.860 and how the money

00:26:07.360 was flowing

00:26:08.020 from the Chinese

00:26:08.960 Communist Party

00:26:09.780 to Hunter Biden,

00:26:12.020 to other members

00:26:12.620 of the Biden family,

00:26:14.060 did that concern you

00:26:15.880 as a potential feature

00:26:17.220 of money laundering?

00:26:18.680 It did.

00:26:19.300 It did.

00:26:19.820 I started to grow concerned

00:26:21.420 after I met Joe Biden

00:26:23.260 and then I sat down

00:26:24.520 with Jim Biden

00:26:25.100 and he used the term

00:26:25.920 plausible deniability

00:26:27.060 with me

00:26:27.560 and that's a document

00:26:28.660 because I went back

00:26:29.980 to my lawyers

00:26:30.700 and I asked them

00:26:31.940 something is starting

00:26:33.560 to feel unright

00:26:34.340 and they went

00:26:35.000 and hired another law firm

00:26:36.320 to give me a full

00:26:37.340 FCPA workup

00:26:38.640 to go through the details

00:26:40.220 of what could be done

00:26:41.440 and what couldn't be done.

00:26:42.460 Sounds like high crimes

00:26:43.280 and misdemeanors to me,

00:26:44.160 Mr. Chairman.

00:26:44.660 I yield back.

00:26:45.480 Hunter Biden's deposition.

00:26:46.980 Question.

00:26:47.800 Do you think

00:26:48.280 some of your business associates

00:26:49.580 we've spoken about today,

00:26:50.860 Mr. Archer,

00:26:51.600 Mr. Bob Yolinski,

00:26:52.580 Mr. Golanus,

00:26:53.560 do you think

00:26:54.020 they had an expectation

00:26:55.200 that your dad

00:26:56.120 had any role

00:26:57.160 or involvement

00:26:57.960 in any of your

00:26:58.680 joint business dealings?

00:27:00.260 Answer from Hunter Biden,

00:27:01.700 not an expectation

00:27:02.740 from me.

00:27:03.860 There was never

00:27:04.380 a single time

00:27:05.220 I can remember saying,

00:27:06.480 hey, we'll get my dad involved.

00:27:08.060 Hey, let's get my dad

00:27:09.040 on the phone.

00:27:09.800 Hey, let's, you know,

00:27:11.220 what can we get

00:27:11.980 out of dad for this?

00:27:13.680 Mr. Golanus,

00:27:14.320 what's your reaction

00:27:15.120 to that testimony

00:27:15.820 from Hunter Biden

00:27:16.660 in light of you describing

00:27:18.200 the Biden lift?

00:27:19.380 I think it's patently false.

00:27:23.880 It's belied by emails

00:27:25.700 and I think that there's

00:27:28.000 documentation that says

00:27:29.280 that that's just

00:27:30.100 an untruthful statement.

00:27:31.780 And what I'm trying

00:27:32.600 to understand,

00:27:33.220 Mr. Golanus,

00:27:33.780 is there you are

00:27:34.520 sitting in a prison cell

00:27:35.620 for a financial crime

00:27:37.300 where you were

00:27:38.240 an associate

00:27:39.280 with Hunter Biden

00:27:40.860 and some of the

00:27:41.540 other players there

00:27:42.580 and they're out

00:27:43.980 enjoying Southern California

00:27:45.300 and you're sitting

00:27:46.240 in a prison cell

00:27:47.100 and they've got

00:27:48.340 the ability to come

00:27:49.200 and give this

00:27:49.800 false testimony

00:27:50.560 to Congress.

00:27:51.520 Is it your belief

00:27:52.880 that the Biden

00:27:53.500 Justice Department

00:27:54.620 retaliates against people

00:27:56.740 who speak out

00:27:57.400 against the Bidens

00:27:58.180 and their crimes?

00:28:01.200 I'm living that.

00:28:02.600 I think, to clarify,

00:28:03.980 I took responsibility

00:28:04.880 for my crimes.

00:28:05.620 I pleaded guilty.

00:28:06.440 I've served eight years

00:28:07.420 of clean conduct

00:28:08.560 and I think I've

00:28:09.760 rehabilitated myself

00:28:10.660 quite a bit

00:28:11.160 in that period of time

00:28:12.200 and evidence

00:28:12.960 of track record,

00:28:13.620 but I would say

00:28:14.280 that there is

00:28:14.920 unquestionably

00:28:15.840 a pattern

00:28:17.160 of two tiers

00:28:17.620 of justice

00:28:18.080 and that's

00:28:18.580 become a popularized term

00:28:20.020 and it's something

00:28:20.560 that I've lived

00:28:22.100 experience

00:28:22.920 that I've gone through.

00:28:24.040 You'll back.

00:28:27.000 We are back live.

00:28:28.720 Lev Parnas,

00:28:29.480 you'll remember,

00:28:30.220 was the individual

00:28:30.960 involved in

00:28:32.360 financial campaign crimes.

00:28:35.780 He was taking money

00:28:37.480 for one purpose

00:28:39.060 and using it for another

00:28:40.280 and this was the criminal

00:28:41.980 the Democrats brought in

00:28:43.240 to defend Hunter

00:28:43.980 and Joe Biden.

00:28:44.620 Really remarkable.

00:28:45.840 Lev wanted some

00:28:46.720 questions from me

00:28:47.600 and it seemed

00:28:47.920 from the last clip

00:28:48.700 that he was a little bored

00:28:49.880 so we gave him

00:28:50.480 some questions.

00:28:51.240 Take a listen.

00:28:53.800 Mr. Parnas,

00:28:54.500 how much time

00:28:55.000 did you spend in prison?

00:28:57.240 Four months.

00:28:58.260 Four months.

00:28:59.120 Four months.

00:28:59.620 But you were indicted

00:29:00.480 for crimes that could have

00:29:01.340 resulted in you

00:29:01.900 spending 50 years

00:29:02.840 in prison, right?

00:29:04.340 Right.

00:29:04.760 There were false crimes.

00:29:05.740 The judge saw through.

00:29:06.980 Well, you went to trial

00:29:09.320 and you were convicted, right?

00:29:10.480 I went to trial, correct.

00:29:11.500 And the crime was that

00:29:13.540 you were trying to acquire

00:29:15.060 marijuana licenses

00:29:16.320 and you took money

00:29:18.080 from a Russian oligarch

00:29:19.460 and you tried to use

00:29:20.680 that money to go

00:29:21.900 give political donations

00:29:23.060 and do what you had to do

00:29:23.960 to acquire marijuana licenses.

00:29:25.760 Is that about right?

00:29:26.880 That's what the crime was.

00:29:27.720 That's what the indictment was.

00:29:28.820 Right.

00:29:28.980 It sounds like everyone

00:29:30.440 here today,

00:29:31.080 the only one working

00:29:31.700 for a Russian oligarch

00:29:32.600 was you.

00:29:34.460 Right?

00:29:34.900 I mean, I just heard you

00:29:36.280 It's public information.

00:29:38.200 Yeah, no, I just heard

00:29:39.020 you wax poetic.

00:29:39.760 I got paid $200,000.

00:29:41.320 You know how much I got paid.

00:29:42.020 You were really worried

00:29:42.780 about our democracy

00:29:43.880 and you were here to warn us

00:29:45.380 but you were working

00:29:46.600 for a Russian oligarch

00:29:47.880 wanting to get

00:29:48.540 marijuana licenses

00:29:49.660 but then you didn't even do it.

00:29:51.260 The fraud you committed

00:29:52.320 against the Russian oligarch

00:29:53.680 was that instead

00:29:54.640 you spent the money

00:29:55.520 on yourself.

00:29:56.880 So, like, was that

00:29:57.720 what you were doing

00:29:58.520 to fight against

00:29:59.120 Russia's aggression? 0.81

00:30:00.420 That's a lie.

00:30:00.800 Just taking their money?

00:30:01.760 Well, that's what

00:30:02.280 you were convicted of.

00:30:03.160 But instead of spending

00:30:04.540 50 years in prison

00:30:05.800 you got four months

00:30:07.060 as this hearing continues.

00:30:08.380 I look forward to hearing

00:30:09.020 what Mr. Galanis thinks

00:30:10.180 about how he was treated

00:30:11.400 by the DOJ

00:30:12.180 for telling the truth

00:30:12.980 as opposed to how

00:30:13.780 you're treated for lying.

00:30:14.960 The DOJ didn't listen

00:30:15.820 to the truth

00:30:16.240 because if they

00:30:16.740 were listening to the truth

00:30:17.600 you guys would have been all in jail.

00:30:17.940 The question Mr. Gates had

00:30:19.280 is for Mr. Galanis.

00:30:20.020 They didn't want to hear the truth.

00:30:20.720 You can't handle it, Matt Gates.

00:30:23.560 Look, the truth for you

00:30:25.360 is taking money from Russians

00:30:26.500 to buy marijuana businesses

00:30:27.980 and then going to jail

00:30:29.440 and then coming here

00:30:30.000 to lie about Trump.

00:30:30.840 You should know better

00:30:31.440 than anybody

00:30:32.020 what the DOJ is about.

00:30:34.580 You should know better

00:30:35.500 than anybody.

00:30:36.040 Gentlemen's time's expired.

00:30:39.280 That was the star

00:30:40.400 Democrat witness

00:30:41.360 we got a chance

00:30:42.020 to question

00:30:42.580 and I think expose.

00:30:44.160 So tell me why

00:30:45.220 asks

00:30:45.900 why it took three years.

00:30:48.100 Tony Bobulinski

00:30:48.720 has been making

00:30:49.260 a lot of these claims

00:30:50.160 for quite some time

00:30:50.980 even before the last

00:30:51.880 presidential contest.

00:30:53.240 Why did it take

00:30:53.900 House Republicans

00:30:54.540 until now

00:30:55.400 to get this hearing

00:30:56.560 with Hunter Biden's

00:30:57.360 business partners

00:30:58.020 out there?

00:30:58.820 And the answer is simple.

00:31:00.160 It took too long

00:31:00.660 to get the subpoenas

00:31:01.320 out to Hunter Biden.

00:31:02.780 Kevin McCarthy

00:31:03.580 would never authorize

00:31:04.720 a subpoena to Hunter Biden

00:31:06.000 for all of Mike Johnson's

00:31:07.920 concerning disappointments

00:31:09.800 on spending

00:31:10.360 and we'll get to that

00:31:11.240 later in the program.

00:31:13.220 He did authorize 0.84

00:31:14.380 the subpoena

00:31:14.820 to Hunter Biden

00:31:15.600 and that's what finally

00:31:16.800 got the Hunter testimony

00:31:17.940 which allowed us

00:31:18.880 to bring in

00:31:19.640 these business associates

00:31:20.860 and to show

00:31:21.940 how Hunter was lying.

00:31:23.280 Now we of course

00:31:23.800 invited Hunter

00:31:24.480 to be there as well

00:31:25.440 but he didn't want that.

00:31:27.400 He didn't want to be exposed

00:31:29.080 in public

00:31:30.200 in front of his

00:31:31.540 business partners

00:31:32.220 that would just turn

00:31:32.960 to him and say

00:31:33.540 that's a lie dude

00:31:34.720 and the American people

00:31:35.780 would see

00:31:36.420 just with the incarnation

00:31:37.940 of Hunter there

00:31:38.860 alongside Bob Yulinski

00:31:39.880 who was lying

00:31:40.900 and it wasn't Bob Yulinski

00:31:42.240 and you know why

00:31:42.840 it wasn't Bob Yulinski

00:31:43.580 how I know that

00:31:44.720 it wasn't Tony lying

00:31:46.200 because the Democrats

00:31:47.540 never really pushed

00:31:49.000 into the facts.

00:31:50.520 They didn't bring

00:31:51.300 contravening evidence.

00:31:53.400 They didn't say

00:31:54.240 that Bob Yulinski

00:31:54.880 wasn't sufficiently corroborated.

00:31:57.720 They just complained

00:31:58.280 about Trump

00:31:58.860 which is really

00:31:59.640 all they do

00:32:00.300 and probably why

00:32:01.220 the American people

00:32:01.980 are wondering

00:32:02.820 why Democrats

00:32:03.400 don't address

00:32:04.240 their challenges

00:32:05.100 their needs.

00:32:06.380 Now there was

00:32:06.760 one Democrat

00:32:07.660 during this hearing

00:32:09.700 who made some

00:32:10.800 interesting points

00:32:11.460 and I know

00:32:12.000 you're not going

00:32:12.500 to like this

00:32:12.900 so just get ready

00:32:13.840 to be triggered

00:32:14.560 firebrand audience

00:32:16.380 but Katie Porter

00:32:18.180 Democrat from California

00:32:20.620 if you take

00:32:21.740 this next clip

00:32:22.520 I'm going to play

00:32:23.040 of Katie Porter

00:32:24.000 and filter out

00:32:25.720 all the anti-Republican

00:32:26.960 anti-Trump stuff

00:32:27.760 and just focus

00:32:29.780 on the ethics changes

00:32:32.860 and legislative reforms

00:32:35.580 she's proposing

00:32:36.940 going after the revolving door

00:32:39.820 between lobbyists

00:32:41.300 and members of Congress

00:32:43.940 stopping members of Congress

00:32:45.560 from being registered

00:32:46.480 foreign agents

00:32:47.220 tightening up

00:32:47.940 the bribery laws

00:32:48.880 again not the rhetoric

00:32:50.540 but this is your assignment

00:32:52.140 listen explicitly

00:32:53.340 to the policy prescriptions

00:32:55.220 that Katie Porter

00:32:56.100 lays out

00:32:56.660 and tell me

00:32:57.320 what you disagree

00:32:57.900 with in the live chat

00:32:58.820 take a listen

00:32:59.300 we should have

00:33:02.360 a policy discussion

00:33:03.340 about how to stop

00:33:04.500 government officials

00:33:05.520 from using their positions

00:33:07.300 to get money

00:33:08.400 or favors

00:33:09.280 now that is

00:33:10.340 a real hearing

00:33:11.260 one that nearly

00:33:12.360 every American

00:33:13.800 regardless of party

00:33:15.240 wants us

00:33:16.200 to hold

00:33:16.920 we could start

00:33:18.260 by talking about

00:33:19.240 how senior

00:33:20.200 executive branch officials

00:33:21.580 can leave public service

00:33:22.880 wait just one year

00:33:25.420 and then legally

00:33:26.580 become lobbyists

00:33:27.780 for big corporations

00:33:28.760 scoring their new employers

00:33:30.700 profitable government contracts

00:33:32.320 and favorable regulations

00:33:33.740 they can even be paid

00:33:37.000 by the big corporations

00:33:38.840 during that short one year

00:33:40.960 while they are waiting

00:33:42.200 to become lobbyists

00:33:43.380 as a down payment

00:33:44.940 for their future ability

00:33:46.620 to peddle influence

00:33:48.060 that's wrong

00:33:49.340 for the panel of witnesses

00:33:51.700 by show of hands

00:33:53.360 as Americans

00:33:55.500 would our witnesses

00:33:57.240 support extending

00:33:58.340 this one year waiting period

00:33:59.700 to at least two years

00:34:00.800 no I would

00:34:04.520 okay so there we go

00:34:06.280 Republicans

00:34:06.840 Democrats

00:34:07.640 even convicted criminals

00:34:09.480 everybody

00:34:10.420 supports

00:34:11.720 that we should do more

00:34:13.380 to stop influence peddling

00:34:14.960 this is the kind

00:34:16.360 of good government reform

00:34:17.560 that Americans

00:34:18.580 of all political stripes

00:34:19.880 support

00:34:20.440 and I should know

00:34:21.620 in 2022

00:34:22.400 I passed

00:34:23.700 that exact reform

00:34:25.480 as an amendment

00:34:26.600 to the National Defense

00:34:27.660 Authorization Act

00:34:28.660 with a bipartisan

00:34:29.460 majority vote

00:34:31.060 what happened

00:34:32.620 to that amendment

00:34:33.200 why didn't it become law

00:34:35.800 the answer is simple

00:34:37.740 nearly

00:34:38.620 500

00:34:40.260 former members

00:34:42.240 of Congress

00:34:42.880 worked for lobbying firms

00:34:44.340 and too many people

00:34:45.800 around here

00:34:46.420 want to follow

00:34:47.160 in their footsteps

00:34:47.900 and so don't want

00:34:49.440 to make it harder

00:34:50.060 for government officials

00:34:51.080 to become lobbyists

00:34:52.080 ultimately

00:34:52.900 Democratic leadership

00:34:53.840 under then speaker

00:34:54.640 Nancy Pelosi

00:34:55.380 let the amendment

00:34:56.660 get stripped

00:34:57.560 out of the final bill

00:34:58.860 when I offered up

00:35:00.180 the amendment

00:35:00.640 again during this Congress

00:35:02.160 Republican leadership

00:35:03.200 under then speaker

00:35:04.120 Kevin McCarthy

00:35:04.860 never even put the amendment

00:35:06.480 up for a vote

00:35:07.400 both parties

00:35:09.500 have let us down

00:35:11.360 on fighting

00:35:12.340 influence peddling

00:35:13.280 and tackling corruption

00:35:14.480 but I'm hopeful

00:35:15.740 we can begin

00:35:16.440 a new approach

00:35:17.320 in this very committee

00:35:18.440 let me give you some facts

00:35:20.120 I don't even need

00:35:20.780 a whiteboard for this one

00:35:21.800 495 former members

00:35:24.840 of Congress

00:35:25.320 worked for lobbying firms

00:35:26.660 467 members of Congress

00:35:31.040 take corporate PAC money

00:35:33.560 78 members of Congress

00:35:37.080 violated the Stock Act

00:35:39.240 last Congress

00:35:40.820 clearly we have our work

00:35:42.740 cut out for us

00:35:43.420 so let's start the conversation

00:35:44.760 today

00:35:45.660 on what a bipartisan

00:35:47.400 ethics reform package

00:35:48.800 could look like

00:35:49.660 here are the organizations

00:35:51.580 that could have come today

00:35:52.660 as witnesses

00:35:53.360 so we could have had

00:35:54.580 a productive conversation

00:35:55.860 oversight staff

00:35:58.120 do you have your notebooks ready

00:35:59.360 citizens for responsibility

00:36:00.980 and ethics in Washington

00:36:02.260 common cause

00:36:03.360 project on government oversight

00:36:04.860 public citizen

00:36:05.760 with the right witnesses

00:36:07.480 and the commitment

00:36:09.480 to doing what

00:36:10.340 the American people want

00:36:11.780 this committee

00:36:12.660 can have a real

00:36:14.220 conversation

00:36:15.100 about the problem

00:36:16.520 of influence peddling

00:36:17.780 and we can pass

00:36:19.200 legislation

00:36:19.800 to create badly

00:36:21.180 needed ethics

00:36:22.200 guardrails

00:36:22.980 that would be

00:36:24.320 real work

00:36:25.040 not a real circus

00:36:26.780 I yield back

00:36:28.100 before I

00:36:29.600 recognize

00:36:30.520 Mr. Timmons

00:36:31.060 Ms. Porter

00:36:31.520 I think you are

00:36:33.300 sincere

00:36:33.940 and I

00:36:35.080 look forward

00:36:36.120 to working with you

00:36:37.020 on that

00:36:37.860 legislation

00:36:38.620 Bravo Katie Porter

00:36:42.900 we should have

00:36:43.920 an extended

00:36:44.500 cooling off period

00:36:45.340 frankly I don't think

00:36:46.100 members of Congress

00:36:46.940 should ever be able

00:36:47.900 to be lobbyists

00:36:48.880 I think if you get

00:36:49.900 the privilege of

00:36:50.540 making our nation's laws

00:36:51.580 you don't get to then

00:36:52.440 enter the transfer portal

00:36:53.780 and then go and

00:36:54.580 influence law making

00:36:55.700 for money

00:36:56.720 just a mercenary

00:36:58.460 instead of a patriot

00:36:59.440 and far too many do

00:37:00.820 and I'm glad Katie Porter

00:37:02.000 brought that to fruition

00:37:03.220 and she can count on me

00:37:04.640 as an ally

00:37:05.720 in any effort

00:37:07.060 to try to clean

00:37:07.920 this place up

00:37:08.620 from the corrupt

00:37:09.260 influence of money

00:37:10.120 and it affects both sides

00:37:11.340 and any of you

00:37:11.940 who try to say

00:37:12.860 well you know

00:37:13.480 the whataboutism

00:37:14.300 of well

00:37:14.820 the other side

00:37:15.640 does it worse

00:37:16.180 than we do

00:37:16.840 it's the uniparty

00:37:18.700 it is totally

00:37:19.860 the uniparty

00:37:20.760 who keeps this

00:37:21.580 corrupt system

00:37:22.160 in place

00:37:22.680 and there are

00:37:23.260 few voices

00:37:23.960 that speak out

00:37:25.180 against it

00:37:25.680 and so we have

00:37:26.280 to band them together

00:37:27.140 even if they come

00:37:27.920 from different places

00:37:29.160 in the ideological

00:37:30.040 spectrum

00:37:30.660 one voice

00:37:31.920 that was deeply

00:37:32.540 concerning

00:37:33.140 to me

00:37:33.700 was one we heard

00:37:34.460 today on TikTok

00:37:35.700 encouraging

00:37:36.760 illegal aliens

00:37:38.180 to break

00:37:39.400 into people's homes

00:37:40.580 the Biden border

00:37:41.340 policies

00:37:41.880 have gotten so bad

00:37:43.200 that your home

00:37:44.180 is at risk

00:37:44.700 of invasion

00:37:45.420 promoted

00:37:46.780 and put out

00:37:48.260 by TikTok

00:37:48.840 take a listen

00:37:49.400 and right now

00:37:52.440 there is

00:37:53.360 this TikTok

00:37:54.560 going viral

00:37:56.300 this TikToker

00:37:57.840 is telling

00:37:59.120 illegal migrants 0.94

00:38:00.340 to invade 0.71

00:38:02.000 Americans

00:38:03.040 homes

00:38:03.680 take them over

00:38:04.860 he tells

00:38:05.800 his half a million

00:38:06.540 followers

00:38:07.060 that U.S. 0.96

00:38:07.780 squatting laws

00:38:08.680 allow it

00:38:09.660 we're back live

00:38:13.480 we've heard

00:38:14.040 how the openness

00:38:15.220 and acceptance

00:38:16.060 of our country

00:38:16.700 has often turned

00:38:17.460 against us

00:38:18.080 in great power

00:38:18.640 competition

00:38:19.220 with China

00:38:20.580 with Russia

00:38:21.500 but here

00:38:22.800 you see

00:38:23.900 just the fact

00:38:25.340 that we have

00:38:26.220 this viral nature

00:38:27.500 to our society

00:38:28.560 allowing someone

00:38:29.940 to spread

00:38:30.460 a message

00:38:31.160 of deep destruction

00:38:32.380 and hate

00:38:33.500 and concern

00:38:34.100 and you know what

00:38:34.720 I wouldn't screw

00:38:35.760 around and do

00:38:36.300 that in Florida 0.50

00:38:37.000 F-A-F-O baby 1.00

00:38:38.880 we got 0.96

00:38:39.360 the stand your

00:38:40.280 ground law

00:38:40.860 in Florida

00:38:41.400 we got the

00:38:41.940 castle doctrine

00:38:42.680 so you break

00:38:43.600 into my home

00:38:44.260 you break

00:38:44.680 into the home

00:38:45.500 of my fellow

00:38:46.100 Florida man

00:38:46.700 and Florida woman 1.00

00:38:47.440 and you're

00:38:48.040 likely to be

00:38:49.040 catching some

00:38:49.480 hot lead

00:38:50.020 so if you got

00:38:50.780 plans to break

00:38:51.500 into people's

00:38:52.040 houses

00:38:52.260 and commit

00:38:52.720 forcible felonies

00:38:53.620 against them

00:38:54.080 I suggest you

00:38:54.900 do that

00:38:55.240 in a state

00:38:55.620 that does not

00:38:56.200 have the

00:38:57.000 castle doctrine

00:38:57.780 and a well

00:38:58.660 armed citizenry

00:38:59.620 like we do

00:39:00.700 in the Sunshine State

00:39:01.940 today in the

00:39:03.120 House Armed Services

00:39:03.860 Committee

00:39:04.220 we had the

00:39:04.700 leaders of

00:39:05.180 US policy

00:39:05.960 on Africa

00:39:06.780 and you've

00:39:07.680 heard me talk

00:39:08.500 a lot about

00:39:09.200 the continent

00:39:09.780 on the program

00:39:10.520 not because

00:39:11.300 I think that

00:39:12.100 there is some

00:39:12.840 natural linkage

00:39:13.720 of African culture

00:39:14.780 and society

00:39:15.360 to ours

00:39:15.880 that's the

00:39:16.500 argument other

00:39:16.920 people make

00:39:17.360 about Ukraine

00:39:18.160 I do it

00:39:19.160 because it is

00:39:19.720 a microcosm

00:39:20.760 of the Biden

00:39:21.960 administration's

00:39:23.120 failures

00:39:23.720 the terrible

00:39:24.620 decision making

00:39:25.560 the lack

00:39:26.240 of a strategic

00:39:27.060 envelope

00:39:27.680 for how

00:39:28.660 we're going

00:39:29.080 to generate

00:39:29.860 outcomes

00:39:30.460 based on

00:39:31.000 the pipeline

00:39:31.800 of our actions

00:39:32.680 and one

00:39:33.660 truly

00:39:34.400 and I

00:39:35.180 don't say

00:39:35.720 this lightly

00:39:36.240 but truly

00:39:36.940 one of the 1.00

00:39:37.400 dumbest people 1.00

00:39:38.180 I have ever 1.00

00:39:38.940 questioned

00:39:39.440 is General

00:39:40.300 Langley

00:39:40.740 who is in

00:39:41.680 charge of

00:39:42.420 AFRICOM

00:39:43.160 and doesn't

00:39:43.800 know

00:39:44.080 basic things

00:39:45.720 about the

00:39:46.240 continent

00:39:46.680 or government

00:39:48.000 or warfare

00:39:48.920 it was something

00:39:49.980 take a listen

00:39:50.600 this is

00:39:53.560 Colonel

00:39:54.500 Mamaday

00:39:55.120 Dumbuya

00:39:55.680 and this

00:39:56.660 is a photo

00:39:57.280 of him

00:39:58.340 did we train

00:39:59.440 and equip him

00:40:00.040 by name

00:40:01.040 I cannot

00:40:01.660 identify that

00:40:02.480 that's him

00:40:03.540 with a bunch

00:40:04.420 of US

00:40:04.780 service members

00:40:05.560 outside of

00:40:06.180 our embassy

00:40:06.680 and just

00:40:07.580 months after

00:40:08.260 this photo

00:40:08.740 was taken

00:40:09.280 in 2021

00:40:10.240 he led a coup

00:40:12.160 in Guinea

00:40:12.760 and threw out

00:40:14.040 the leader

00:40:14.980 does that

00:40:15.880 concern you

00:40:16.480 Congressman

00:40:17.600 core values

00:40:19.520 is what we

00:40:20.300 start off with

00:40:21.000 in IMA

00:40:21.480 programs

00:40:22.440 do we share

00:40:23.260 core values

00:40:23.960 with Colonel

00:40:24.380 Dumbuya

00:40:24.780 core values

00:40:25.900 I will repeat

00:40:26.580 that

00:40:26.960 he led a coup

00:40:27.700 we do

00:40:28.120 so I guess

00:40:30.460 my

00:40:30.740 I guess

00:40:31.360 four months

00:40:31.960 after that

00:40:32.440 exchange

00:40:32.880 General Langley

00:40:33.600 you had

00:40:34.720 General

00:40:35.840 Musa

00:40:36.860 Bamu

00:40:37.840 overthrow

00:40:38.980 the government

00:40:39.660 in Niger

00:40:40.440 it won't

00:40:41.960 surprise anybody

00:40:42.620 here

00:40:43.060 that we

00:40:43.700 trained him

00:40:44.240 the person

00:40:45.420 who overthrew

00:40:46.220 the democratically

00:40:47.040 elected government

00:40:47.860 in Niger

00:40:48.220 went to the

00:40:49.240 National Defense

00:40:49.980 University

00:40:50.500 trained at

00:40:51.060 Fort Benning

00:40:51.560 Georgia

00:40:51.920 so do we

00:40:53.540 share core

00:40:54.120 values

00:40:54.700 with Musa

00:40:56.080 Bamu

00:40:56.940 Congressman

00:40:59.000 let me just

00:40:59.460 go ahead

00:40:59.700 and state

00:41:00.140 that

00:41:00.620 core values

00:41:03.260 is what we

00:41:03.760 start off

00:41:04.180 with

00:41:04.420 but there

00:41:05.240 is no

00:41:05.580 syllabus

00:41:06.020 for

00:41:06.800 overthrowing

00:41:07.720 the government

00:41:08.100 not in

00:41:09.480 our institutions

00:41:10.320 well they're

00:41:11.400 learning it

00:41:11.860 pretty well

00:41:12.500 even in the

00:41:13.240 absence of

00:41:13.740 a syllabus

00:41:14.160 right

00:41:14.500 because

00:41:14.900 if you

00:41:15.580 look at

00:41:16.220 Chad

00:41:17.280 Burkina

00:41:17.700 Faso

00:41:18.100 Mali

00:41:18.860 Mauritania

00:41:19.680 Niger 0.99

00:41:20.240 in a lot

00:41:21.680 of these

00:41:21.960 countries

00:41:22.460 the coup

00:41:23.720 is led

00:41:24.780 by someone

00:41:25.360 we trained

00:41:26.140 now I put

00:41:27.040 in the

00:41:27.220 National Defense

00:41:27.800 Authorization

00:41:28.400 Act a

00:41:28.840 requirement

00:41:29.420 for you to

00:41:30.260 issue us

00:41:30.820 a report

00:41:31.500 as to how

00:41:32.400 many coup

00:41:33.040 leaders

00:41:33.580 our taxpayers

00:41:34.800 have funded

00:41:35.640 the training

00:41:36.100 for

00:41:36.420 that report

00:41:37.560 is due

00:41:37.880 tomorrow

00:41:38.340 will we be

00:41:39.800 getting it

00:41:40.120 on time

00:41:40.620 I'll do a

00:41:42.300 follow-up on

00:41:42.740 that Congressman

00:41:43.320 well this

00:41:43.940 was the

00:41:44.580 follow-up

00:41:45.060 right

00:41:45.300 because first

00:41:46.060 I asked

00:41:46.600 you in

00:41:47.760 that clip 0.50

00:41:48.180 how many

00:41:48.820 coup leaders

00:41:49.480 did we train

00:41:50.220 you didn't

00:41:51.160 know

00:41:51.560 and so then

00:41:52.400 I put it

00:41:52.760 in the

00:41:52.960 law for

00:41:53.360 you to

00:41:53.640 tell me

00:41:54.180 the law

00:41:54.840 requires you

00:41:55.360 to tell

00:41:55.620 me by

00:41:55.900 tomorrow

00:41:56.320 so can

00:41:57.280 you give

00:41:57.500 us a

00:41:57.740 preview

00:41:57.980 of coming

00:41:58.340 attractions

00:41:58.820 you get

00:41:59.760 that

00:41:59.940 you'll get

00:42:00.380 your answer

00:42:00.880 Congressman

00:42:01.620 but let

00:42:02.500 me say

00:42:02.860 there's no

00:42:04.300 correlation

00:42:04.880 and there's

00:42:05.820 no causation

00:42:06.580 of U.S.

00:42:07.220 training

00:42:07.560 to these

00:42:08.900 members

00:42:09.300 well that's

00:42:09.680 what I'm

00:42:09.940 trying to find

00:42:10.540 out

00:42:10.820 because

00:42:11.140 in like

00:42:11.920 a dozen

00:42:12.420 countries

00:42:13.200 the coup

00:42:14.120 leaders

00:42:14.420 are people

00:42:14.860 we trained

00:42:15.320 like

00:42:15.480 what a

00:42:16.040 difference

00:42:16.380 a year

00:42:16.720 makes

00:42:17.120 March 16th

00:42:18.780 2023

00:42:19.480 Secretary

00:42:20.440 Blinken 0.98

00:42:20.980 calls Niger

00:42:22.120 quote

00:42:22.680 a model

00:42:23.560 of resilience

00:42:24.340 a model

00:42:25.480 of democracy

00:42:26.360 a model

00:42:27.380 of cooperation

00:42:28.320 one year

00:42:30.240 and one

00:42:30.840 day later

00:42:31.460 Dr. Wallander

00:42:32.560 the spokesperson

00:42:33.980 of the Nigerian

00:42:35.180 military

00:42:35.780 Colonel

00:42:36.920 Amadou

00:42:37.780 Amabramay

00:42:40.020 says

00:42:40.860 quote

00:42:41.280 the American

00:42:42.180 presence

00:42:42.820 in the

00:42:43.300 territory

00:42:43.700 of the

00:42:44.040 Republic

00:42:44.420 of Niger

00:42:44.900 is illegal

00:42:46.180 a year

00:42:47.780 and a day

00:42:48.320 after

00:42:48.800 our government

00:42:49.880 said they

00:42:50.380 were the

00:42:50.680 model

00:42:51.060 of resilience

00:42:51.760 and democracy

00:42:52.780 they are

00:42:53.540 throwing us

00:42:54.200 out by the

00:42:54.740 scrubs

00:42:55.020 of our 0.81

00:42:55.460 neck

00:42:55.760 and so

00:42:56.300 is it

00:42:57.040 safe to

00:42:57.520 say

00:42:57.860 that this

00:42:58.680 failed

00:42:59.040 General

00:42:59.420 Langley

00:42:59.800 it's safe

00:43:03.680 to say

00:43:04.040 that there's

00:43:04.480 no correlation

00:43:05.380 or causation

00:43:07.120 of U.S.

00:43:07.860 training

00:43:08.200 to a coup

00:43:09.060 happening

00:43:09.500 period

00:43:10.220 it certainly

00:43:11.640 isn't

00:43:12.060 there's no

00:43:12.520 causation

00:43:13.040 or correlation

00:43:13.580 to the

00:43:13.860 training

00:43:14.160 we do

00:43:14.780 creating

00:43:15.420 more

00:43:15.700 stability

00:43:15.980 I'm trying

00:43:16.440 to ascertain

00:43:17.020 whether or not

00:43:17.400 all this money

00:43:17.880 we spend

00:43:18.200 in Africa

00:43:18.700 makes the

00:43:19.340 place less

00:43:19.820 stable

00:43:20.120 or more

00:43:20.460 stable

00:43:20.820 and just

00:43:21.460 for a

00:43:21.780 country

00:43:22.000 lawyer

00:43:22.240 like me

00:43:22.800 if we're

00:43:23.300 funding

00:43:23.620 the coup

00:43:24.120 leaders

00:43:24.540 that probably

00:43:25.700 strikes me

00:43:26.200 as making

00:43:26.460 it less

00:43:26.880 stable

00:43:27.160 now are

00:43:27.680 you aware

00:43:28.260 of the

00:43:28.720 Iranian

00:43:29.280 efforts

00:43:30.040 to now

00:43:30.820 mine

00:43:31.300 in Niger

00:43:31.820 General

00:43:33.100 Langley

00:43:33.440 Conister

00:43:35.240 we could

00:43:35.500 talk about

00:43:35.900 in a

00:43:36.080 classified

00:43:36.360 section

00:43:36.840 on that

00:43:37.420 well I mean

00:43:38.360 Fox News

00:43:39.140 is reporting

00:43:39.740 it

00:43:40.000 they're saying

00:43:40.980 that Iran 0.91

00:43:41.440 is working

00:43:42.520 on economic

00:43:43.800 arrangements

00:43:44.240 to get

00:43:44.620 uranium

00:43:45.120 from Niger

00:43:45.980 so

00:43:46.980 well in a classified

00:43:47.760 session we're

00:43:48.260 talking real

00:43:48.940 intel

00:43:49.280 yeah I guess

00:43:50.840 I mean

00:43:51.280 we've spent

00:43:51.920 more than

00:43:52.160 500 million

00:43:52.940 in the country

00:43:53.580 what can you

00:43:55.120 say we've got

00:43:55.640 for that 500

00:43:56.300 million

00:43:56.620 as we sit

00:43:57.100 here today

00:43:57.560 if it's like

00:43:58.640 being turned

00:43:59.080 into an

00:43:59.400 Iranian

00:43:59.760 mine

00:44:00.280 the Russians

00:44:01.240 are the

00:44:01.600 preferred

00:44:01.860 security

00:44:02.300 partner

00:44:02.740 and we're

00:44:04.220 training the

00:44:04.680 coup

00:44:04.820 leaders

00:44:05.160 there was

00:44:07.780 a buy

00:44:08.340 down on

00:44:08.960 an insurance

00:44:09.900 policy for

00:44:10.960 protecting

00:44:11.500 the homeland

00:44:12.680 I don't think

00:44:14.340 we're doing

00:44:14.720 that though

00:44:15.220 I don't think

00:44:16.340 there's evidence

00:44:17.040 to suggest

00:44:17.660 that

00:44:17.820 that's your

00:44:18.040 opinion

00:44:18.260 you went

00:44:19.040 to Niger

00:44:19.480 I respect

00:44:20.060 your opinion

00:44:20.500 okay but

00:44:20.900 General Langley

00:44:21.380 you went

00:44:22.040 to Niger

00:44:22.520 and you

00:44:23.820 went to

00:44:24.140 have a

00:44:24.580 meeting

00:44:24.920 with the

00:44:25.800 people

00:44:26.120 we trained

00:44:27.120 who overthrew

00:44:28.220 the democratically

00:44:28.900 elected

00:44:29.240 government

00:44:29.680 and Fox

00:44:30.380 News is

00:44:30.800 reporting

00:44:31.180 that you

00:44:31.600 didn't even

00:44:32.040 get a

00:44:32.360 meeting

00:44:32.540 with the

00:44:32.800 principal

00:44:33.100 decision

00:44:33.520 maker

00:44:33.820 is that

00:44:34.160 right

00:44:34.420 I had

00:44:37.080 a meeting

00:44:37.400 with my

00:44:37.880 counterpart

00:44:38.240 well here's

00:44:39.400 the quote

00:44:39.740 sources say

00:44:40.500 last week's

00:44:40.980 meeting with

00:44:41.300 the junta

00:44:41.640 was extremely

00:44:42.400 difficult

00:44:42.860 the administration's

00:44:44.300 envoys

00:44:44.880 did not get

00:44:45.920 to meet

00:44:46.400 with Niger's

00:44:47.220 principal

00:44:47.780 decision maker

00:44:48.580 is that a

00:44:49.280 true statement

00:44:49.820 or is that

00:44:50.180 a false

00:44:50.520 statement

00:44:50.780 my responsibility

00:44:52.180 is to meet

00:44:52.680 with my

00:44:52.980 counterpart

00:44:53.380 not

00:44:54.180 not

00:44:54.460 not

00:44:54.900 I would

00:44:55.300 just

00:44:55.520 book a

00:44:58.100 meeting

00:44:58.420 you know

00:44:59.300 since it's

00:44:59.760 the model

00:45:00.140 of democracy

00:45:00.680 gentlemen

00:45:00.900 times expired

00:45:01.680 we are back

00:45:04.720 live

00:45:05.080 those are

00:45:05.460 painful

00:45:05.840 discussions

00:45:06.400 but they

00:45:06.800 need to be

00:45:07.100 had because

00:45:07.640 as you

00:45:07.960 heard you

00:45:08.420 have invested

00:45:09.000 500 million

00:45:10.040 dollars into

00:45:10.960 the country

00:45:11.840 of Niger

00:45:12.600 and what we

00:45:13.940 have for it

00:45:14.700 is an

00:45:15.560 opportunity for

00:45:16.520 uranium mining

00:45:18.060 expansion for

00:45:19.000 Iran

00:45:19.600 military expansion

00:45:21.020 for Russia

00:45:21.760 and our

00:45:22.680 opportunity to

00:45:23.440 train the next

00:45:23.920 generation of

00:45:24.480 coup leaders

00:45:24.940 that's basically

00:45:25.960 what you got

00:45:26.880 for 500 million

00:45:28.020 and by the way

00:45:28.700 that's where

00:45:29.020 things are going

00:45:29.460 best in

00:45:29.960 Africa

00:45:30.300 that was

00:45:31.480 the place

00:45:31.880 Tony Blinken

00:45:32.500 said was

00:45:33.640 the centerpiece

00:45:35.280 of our

00:45:36.520 strategy for

00:45:37.440 democracy

00:45:38.180 and cooperation

00:45:39.480 unbelievable

00:45:41.760 and it's

00:45:42.500 happening

00:45:42.760 everywhere

00:45:43.240 in the world

00:45:44.040 now before

00:45:44.560 we go

00:45:44.980 I want to

00:45:45.420 make mention

00:45:45.880 of this

00:45:46.340 trillion dollar

00:45:47.060 spending bill

00:45:47.620 that the

00:45:47.880 House of

00:45:48.180 Representatives

00:45:48.620 is set

00:45:49.060 to vote

00:45:49.420 on tomorrow

00:45:49.980 I will

00:45:50.920 be voting

00:45:51.540 emphatically

00:45:52.700 against this

00:45:53.800 continues to

00:45:55.540 advance an

00:45:56.120 unconstitutional

00:45:56.920 process

00:45:57.760 unconstitutional

00:45:58.620 agencies

00:45:59.440 it doesn't

00:46:00.180 secure the

00:46:00.660 border

00:46:00.980 it funds

00:46:01.520 Planned

00:46:01.820 Parenthood

00:46:02.340 it funds

00:46:03.000 earmarks

00:46:03.600 for all

00:46:04.100 kind of

00:46:04.720 LGBTQ

00:46:05.480 AI

00:46:06.420 XYZ

00:46:07.860 stuff

00:46:08.320 and

00:46:10.220 what does

00:46:11.140 it do

00:46:11.380 for the

00:46:11.640 American

00:46:11.940 people

00:46:12.400 higher

00:46:13.720 prices

00:46:14.240 more

00:46:14.780 inflation

00:46:15.620 larger

00:46:16.880 debts

00:46:17.360 growing

00:46:18.160 deficit

00:46:18.680 and no

00:46:19.600 political

00:46:19.980 courage

00:46:20.420 to take

00:46:20.880 it on

00:46:21.200 now I

00:46:21.780 know we

00:46:22.240 only have

00:46:22.940 like a

00:46:23.320 one or

00:46:23.740 two seat

00:46:24.140 majority

00:46:24.540 on a

00:46:24.940 given

00:46:25.120 day

00:46:25.360 but I

00:46:25.920 would 0.97

00:46:26.080 rather die 0.99

00:46:26.720 on the

00:46:27.160 field

00:46:27.440 politically

00:46:28.000 than

00:46:28.700 continue

00:46:29.220 to

00:46:29.560 surrender

00:46:30.120 to

00:46:30.700 America's

00:46:31.360 defeat

00:46:31.880 and

00:46:32.200 demise

00:46:32.760 and

00:46:33.240 surrender

00:46:33.680 is

00:46:33.920 precisely

00:46:34.560 what

00:46:35.300 this

00:46:35.500 omnibus

00:46:35.900 spending

00:46:36.200 bill

00:46:36.420 does

00:46:36.680 it

00:46:36.840 surrenders

00:46:37.220 on the

00:46:37.500 border

00:46:37.820 it

00:46:38.220 surrenders

00:46:38.560 on the

00:46:38.860 budget

00:46:39.180 it

00:46:39.560 surrenders

00:46:39.860 on the

00:46:40.200 bureaucrats

00:46:40.860 that are

00:46:41.140 choking 0.54

00:46:41.480 out

00:46:41.780 the

00:46:42.140 economic

00:46:42.540 freedom
