00:01:36.000Hunter Biden and Russian sex trafficking?
00:01:40.000So look, I know it sounds kind of, let's just say, out there.
00:01:45.000But this story broke yesterday, and I wanted to cover it, but the Breonna Taylor indictment and the riots and the arson and the attempted police assassinations that were happening in Louisville, that kind of dominated the news cycle.
00:01:57.000And if that wasn't happening, this would have been the number one story that we would have covered here in the Charlie Kirk show.
00:02:02.000Now, mind you, the media, the activist media, is not covering any of this.
00:02:08.000The Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committee, this is according to Fox News's Brooke Singman, on Wednesday released an interim report on their months-long joint investigation into Hunter Biden's role on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings and his alleged, quote, extensive and complex financial transactions.
00:02:29.000And by the way, this is a huge understatement, just the way that this was described.
00:02:33.000The 87-page report stated that Obama administration officials, quote, knew that Hunter Biden's position on the board of Burisma was, quote, problematic and that it interfered with, quote, in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine.
00:02:52.000Let's do a reminder here, a little refresher.
00:02:54.000Well, Hunter Biden joined Burisma in April of 2014 and connected the firm with Blue Star Strategies to help the natural gas company fight corruption charges in Ukraine.
00:03:06.000At the exact same time, then Vice President Joe Biden was running U.S.-Ukraine relations and policy for the Obama administration.
00:03:14.000And how did Hunter help with the corruption charges?
00:03:16.000By getting his father to fire the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma by threatening a billion-dollar loan from the U.S. government.
00:04:00.000And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
00:04:04.000The Senate report states the following, that Hunter Biden, quote, formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the founder of Burisma, Mycola Zokolchevsky.
00:04:19.000That his and his business partner, Devin Archer's firm, quote, made millions of dollars from that association while his father was vice president, which, quote, shows potential criminal activity relating to transactions among and between Hunter Biden, his family, and associates with Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, and Chinese nationals.
00:04:40.000Investigators also found millions of dollars in, quote, questionable financial transactions between Hunter Biden and associates and foreign individuals, including the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, as well as individuals with the ties of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:04:55.000So here's where it gets very weird and interesting.
00:04:59.000An investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, Rosemont Seneca Thornton, quote, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer from Alina Bachurina, the wife of the former mayor of the Russian capital.
00:05:12.000So just as a refresher, all this is now coming to light because Senate Republicans authorized subpoenas and a report to look into this because our Department of Justice and our legal system is not interested in investigating the children of the Obama-Biden power cartel.
00:05:28.000So the Senate Republicans started to do it themselves.
00:05:30.000And good on Senator Ron Johnson and good on these U.S. senators and the Republican Party that have authorized these findings.
00:06:02.000The committee stated that they received records that Hunter Biden, quote, sent thousands of dollars, individuals who have, quote, either been involved in transactions consistent with possible human trafficking, an association with the adult entertainment industry, or potential association with prostitution, end quote.
00:06:24.000The quote continues by saying, the records also note that these transactions are linked to what appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.
00:06:38.000Hunter Biden's extensive financial dealing with the founder of Burisma, Mykola Zokolchevsky, included thousands of dollars in transactions for prostitutes and human trafficking.
00:06:51.000Maybe this is why Hunter Biden was barely mentioned at the Democrat National Convention and usually only next to his brother, Bo.
00:07:03.000The Biden crime family syndicate is not just Hunter.
00:07:07.000This is a family culture of selling political access for business favors, of knowing that a complicit media would let them get away with all of this.
00:07:19.000In one instance, the report stated that Hunter Biden, quote, opened a bank account with a Chinese national linked to the Chinese communist government, which, quote, financed a $100,000 global spending spree for the former vice president's brother, James Biden, and his wife, Sarah Biden.
00:07:37.000This is the same James Biden that Peter Schweitzer exposed in his book, quote, Profiles in Power.
00:07:43.000According to Peter Schweitzer, in 2010, shortly after a failed attempt at running a hedge fund with his nephew Hunter, James Biden entered the construction and international development industry.
00:07:54.000Even though he lacked the background in either of them, James secured a position as executive vice president at the newly formed Hillstone International LLC.
00:08:04.000The firm was likely created for the express purpose to secure government-backed contracts that would be given out at the time to rebuilt war-torn Iraq.
00:08:14.000So then Senator Joe Biden in the early 2000s votes for the war in Iraq, which never should have happened.
00:08:22.000We invade Iraq and destroy everything in our path.
00:08:27.000Then Joe Biden becomes vice president and then sells access so his brother can go rebuild Iraq, the very same Iraq that Joe Biden voted to go destroy in the first place.
00:08:37.000Think there's something wrong with these adventures overseas?
00:08:41.000A lot of people are getting very, very rich rebuilding countries that we destroyed.
00:08:47.000Six months after James joined Hillstone, the firm received a contract to build more than 100,000 homes in Iraq.
00:08:55.000The deal was estimated to be worth upwards of $1.5 billion.
00:09:02.000Look, we have so many American heroes in our country, and we need to support them.
00:09:06.000And if you're one of those heroes, I'm sure that you struggle with where to find the gear to get your job done.
00:09:12.000Paying out of pocket for gear, you need to do your job is a problem.

00:10:29.000Well, the great Jim Jordan is asking the exact same thing.
00:10:33.000As the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan penned a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and described the report as, quote, explosive.
00:10:44.000Quote, we write to ask what investigative steps, if any, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken in response to the information in this report, Jordan wrote.
00:10:54.000Quote, the report by Chairman Johnson and Chairman Grassley shows that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been aware of some alleged misconduct for years.
00:11:03.000Jordan continued by saying, quote, the report detailed widespread concern with the Obama-Biden administration about Hunter Biden's role on the Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company founded by the oligarch.
00:11:15.000Again, this name keeps on popping up, Mykola Zokolchevsky.
00:11:34.000But the Democrats still think that this is, quote, a conspiracy theory.
00:11:38.000The Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates on Wednesday blasted the investigation and Senator Ron Johnson directly for pushing a conspiracy theory.
00:11:46.000They said this, quote, as coronavirus death tolls climb and Wisconsinites struggle with the joblessness, Ron Johnson has wasted months diverting the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee away from any meaningful oversight of the catastrophically botched federal response to the pandemic, a threat Senator Johnson has dismissed to say that the death is unavoidable part of life.
00:12:06.000To subsidize a foreign attack against the sovereignty of our elections with taxpayer dollars, an attack founded on long-disproven hardcore right-wing conspiracy theories that hinge on Senator Ron Johnson himself from a corrupt, from being corrupt.
00:12:17.000And that the senator has now explicitly stated that he's attempting to bail out Donald Trump's reelection campaign.
00:12:23.000So before we go even further into how the New York Times has covered this, I want you to just imagine as a thought exercise here.
00:12:31.000I want you to imagine that in the Mueller investigation, which was authorized by Democrats and Republicans, which was an unconstitutional, unwarranted attack on anyone in Donald Trump's orbit, I want you to imagine if they found the following: that, quote,
00:12:53.000Donald Trump Jr. was found to have received a $3.5 million wire with people that are, quote, connected to an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.
00:13:10.000I want you to imagine if they found that Ivanka Trump opened a bank account with a Chinese national linked to the Chinese communist government, which quote financed a $100,000 global spending spree.
00:13:25.000I want you to imagine if Eric Trump was to be found to have received over $1.5 billion in housing contracts in Iraq.
00:13:38.000What do you think that the activist media's reaction would be to that?
00:13:46.000If they were outraged, it would be warranted.
00:13:48.000It would be based in actually trying to pursue truth, even though they would only do that because they hated the Trumps.
00:13:56.000And yet, as this report has been released, which should be groundbreaking and earth-shattering news, that Hunter Biden is directly linked and being paid for $3.5 million wire for human trafficking, sex trafficking, and involved in Eastern European prostitution rings.
00:14:15.000And that's on top of the burisma connection.
00:14:18.000That's on top of Hunter Biden receiving $1.5 billion that he was unqualified for from the Chinese communist government after flying on Air Force 2 with his father.
00:14:30.000And it's not only that, that it's from the Russians, it's the wife of the mayor of Moscow, a close friend and confidant of Putin.
00:14:39.000And so we're supposed to believe that Donald Trump is somehow connected to Russia, yet it's Joe Biden and his family that have received seven-figure wire transfers from Russian oligarchs.
00:15:11.000And she would lean in with some sort of long monologue, and you weren't really sure how she was going to land the plane.
00:15:17.000And she says, it's a threat to democracy, don't you understand?
00:15:21.000And in her kind of sardonic, sarcastic, yet very serious, mysterious way, as if Rachel Maddow was about to release a piece of paper, and that piece of paper was going to tell us exactly who colluded with what foreign government.
00:15:35.000And every night she would draw it on and she would say, We're all in this together, investigating the roots of democracy.
00:15:42.000And she was actually very persuasive in her presentation, very unpersuasive in her facts.
00:15:49.000And yet, Rachel Maddow and the entire Democrat Party promised us real Russian collusion.
00:15:56.000In fact, let's play the tape of Adam Schiff, who did well over 350 cable television interviews since Donald Trump has been sworn into office, many of which about this failed Russian connection, where Adam Schiff said there is evidence of collusion play tape.
00:16:14.000But all I can tell you is, reviewing the evidence that I have, I don't think you can conclude that at all, far from it.
00:17:05.000We didn't have to call in Maury for that test, but the results do show that Hunter Biden did have another child, and he has to, he actually was refusing to pay child support in Arkansas, I believe it's Arkansas, right?
00:17:22.000What is it with these Democrats in Arkansas?
00:17:24.000They have a fascination with the state of Arkansas.
00:17:26.000And Hunter Biden continues to travel the world.
00:17:29.000In fact, I believe he's still sitting on the board of some of these companies.
00:17:32.000He hasn't even resigned from some of these companies.
00:17:34.000And he still owns shares and still owns a 10% stake in the Chinese holding company.
00:17:42.000You guys are probably driving home from work or maybe driving to work and you're like, what am I going to do for dinner tonight?
00:18:11.000We have the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:18:13.000Because of that, we need to have everyone rewarding American ranches and American ranchers.
00:18:20.000The reason why we've partnered with goodranchers.com is because I looked into it.
00:18:24.000Their vision was instilled into them from their grandparents that owned community grocery stores and believed in trust, charity, and American values.
00:18:32.000We talk about this a lot in our program.
00:19:10.000The beef portion includes two pounds of bone and steaks, ribeyes, T-bones, and New York strips.
00:19:15.000And if you're not getting hungry just hearing this, come on.
00:19:18.000I mean, gourmet steak burgers, chicken portion includes two and a half pounds of Southwest chicken breast and two and a half pounds of lemon pepper chicken breast.
00:20:11.000If you're listening to this and you just live a normal life, there's so many of you out there, and you go to church and you believe God is real and you work hard, you get up at 6 a.m. every day, and you're doing everything you can to make ends meet.
00:20:26.000Or maybe you're a college student listening to this and you're 19 years old and you're going into debt and you're just trying to make it all work.
00:20:33.000And then you look at this family, this crime syndicate, that has never produced anything of value.
00:20:41.000What value have the Bidens brought the world?
00:20:43.000And so here's a really good differentiation.
00:20:45.000Well, people say, well, Charlie Trump has done business all around the world.
00:21:20.000That's real investment in the country, okay?
00:21:23.000Donald Trump created real blue-collar jobs when he built Trump Tower, when he built the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, when he built Trump Tower in Chicago, the third tallest tower in Chicago.
00:22:35.000What does Hunter Biden bring to the world?
00:22:38.000What skill does he have except being a cocaine addict and being an abdicate father and being discharged from the military to get a 10% stake in a Chinese holding company and to get a $3.5 million wire from the Russian government?
00:22:53.000The only thing that Hunter Biden brings to the world is that he has proximity to his father.
00:23:51.000The Western world has figured out the best practices for all of that.
00:23:54.000It's the political class in these countries that take money from the Western world, launder it, and do not allow their citizens to pursue a better life.
00:24:12.000And it's the case, of course, in China, where you have a political class that controls everything and they do not protect first principles, a republic, voting rights, or freedom of expression.
00:25:49.000Senator Biden, it's nice to have you here as the youngest member of the Senate, the one therefore who may expect the longest career there.
00:25:56.000I wonder if you'd say to us, since it's clear that you're not corrupt and you got elected, why should people think that the system produces corrupt results when there you are?
00:26:05.000Well, I'm not sure you should assume I'm not corrupt, but thank you for that, though.
00:26:09.000The system does produce corruption, and I think implicit in the system is corruption, when in fact, whether or not you can run for public office, it costs a great deal of money to run for the United States Senate even for a small state like Delaware.
00:26:23.000You have to go to those people who have money, and they always want something.
00:26:26.000We were told that we politicians, as the young kids say, rip off the American public.
00:26:30.000I think the American public, in a way, rips off we politicians by forcing us to run the way they do.
00:26:40.000And unless you happen to be some sort of anomaly like myself, being a 29-year-old candidate and can attract some attention beyond your own state, it's very difficult to raise that money from a large group of people.
00:28:00.000There is a very real threat that they're going to try to indict President Trump post-presidency.
00:28:05.000And if he does not win reelection, do not be surprised if they try to go after him in some convoluted, contorted indictment, because that is the top prize for them.
00:28:21.000They are two completely different things.
00:28:24.000And kind of as an unrelated but topical soundbite, I want to play the soundbite from the Kentucky Attorney General who said this best, who really made the differentiation between revenge and justice.
00:28:36.000They're two completely different things.
00:29:49.000I think that it's actually really concerning when officials in our government are able to sell access through their children or their spouses or their friends when they hold the levers of power.
00:30:02.000I think that's a really dangerous thing.
00:30:03.000I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat, I just don't.
00:30:12.000Remember, the left always accuses us of what they themselves are doing.
00:30:17.000It is an exercise in psychological projection.
00:30:24.000Here's how the New York Times covered all this: Republican inquiry finds no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.
00:30:31.000The report delivered on Wednesday appeared to be a little more than a rehashing of unproven allegations that echoed a Russian disinformation campaign.
00:30:40.000So let's just go through the headline: Republican inquiry right there.
00:30:44.000The New York Times uses that as the leading descriptor as a way to try to invalidate this entire story.
00:30:51.000Oh, it's a Republican inquiry, therefore it must be untrue.
00:30:54.000Therefore, half of the country immediately tunes out, and independents look at it through a more partisan lens immediately.
00:31:00.000That's how the New York Times has their opening shot.
00:31:10.000I want to get into a deeper point here about the media coverage of this.
00:31:15.000And it's actually a lot more disturbing than I can describe kind of off the cuff here.
00:31:20.000And so it's going to require a different podcast, but let me do my best.
00:31:25.000When you have A newspaper that's called the newspaper of record that legitimately has tens of millions of readers every single week, and about 8 million people that still get it delivered to their home.
00:31:37.000A lot of people read the New York Times that interprets this Senate report this way.
00:31:51.000If they truly are this entrenched in their partisan interests, as they deem themselves as a media network, fire alarm.
00:32:04.000Because then you really are living in a different country.
00:32:08.000You might be physically living in the same America.
00:32:12.000But if you have the New York Times that describes it as no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden, the report delivered on Wednesday appeared to be little more than a rehashing of unproven allegations that echoed a Russian disinformation campaign, and no mention of the fact that Hunter got $3.5 million from a Russian mayor to traffic prostitutes from Eastern Europe.
00:32:42.000A deeper point here, which again, we will build out in a future podcast when I'm not just talking about this extemporaneously, is if this trend continues, when you have the New York Times and the activist media and the Washington Post be so entrenched that they are no different than the Democrat Party communications arm or a war room that's trying to spin things away or they're acting as if they're the criminal defense team for Hunter Biden,
00:33:11.000and you have one side that's looking at this, and this is the side of facts, this is the side of empiricism that we are on here, and you say, no, I actually think this is really bad, your country's going to have a collision.
00:33:28.000You can't, you cannot have this and expect to continue to have a vibrant country.
00:33:37.000This is the way that third world countries interpret news.
00:33:42.000You have the conspiracy newspaper, this happens a lot in Pakistan, by the way, happens a lot in Southeast Asia, where you have the conspiracy newspaper that will just publish something completely untrue, and people will believe it.
00:33:55.000And then you have the state-run newspaper that publishes something also untrue that just basically defends the incumbent power.
00:34:03.000And yet, we in this country still have constitutionally protected freedom of speech, something that no other country guarantees as explicitly as the United States.
00:34:13.000And yet, the activist in New York Times is allowed to, I'm not saying they shouldn't be, I'm not even getting close to saying they should have some sort of criminal or governmental measure to prevent them from doing this.
00:34:28.000But what I'm trying to say is: where are the standards that prevent the New York Times from saying there's no evidence of wrongdoing?
00:34:36.000I mean, you just heard me go through the list: $100,000 spending spree from the Chinese Communist Party, Barisma Holmings, $3.5 million wire from Russia for what?
00:34:45.000And this is the New York Times that was calling for the indictment for Donald Trump Jr., my friend, because he took a singular meeting that resulted in nothing that was probably set up around adoption and then to, well, we have dirt on Hillary and nothing came of it.
00:35:02.000And he had to do hours and hours and hours of Senate testimony, spend millions of dollars in legal fees, and have to have his name slandered and libeled in the mainstream press that he might go to prison.
00:35:13.000And then you had Senator Richard Burr, who has his own criminal complications right now, which I actually don't know how that's actually unfolding.
00:35:21.000That'd be interesting to see how that's going.
00:35:23.000And Senator Richard Burr, who continually asks Donald Trump Jr.
00:35:27.000Come back, the New York Times and the people surrounding them won a Pulitzer Prize for their Russia coverage of Trump, but they can't bring themselves to even mention it when it comes to Biden.
00:35:41.000Where is even a modicum of respect for the truth or objectivity?
00:35:46.000And this goes to a deeper, darker realization.
00:35:51.000And we've talked about this when it comes to the philosophical basis of the new left, which was coined by Noam Chomsky many decades ago.
00:36:01.000If you believe in the philosophy of postmodernism, they do not believe in truth.
00:36:06.000They only believe in power struggles and power dynamics.
00:36:40.000Because I actually want the Supreme Court to be in constitutional hands.
00:36:43.000And I've been Mitt Romney's critic for quite some time.
00:36:50.000But then he comes out and he starts to step all over himself.
00:36:54.000And he says, quote, obviously it's the province of campaigns and political parties, opposition research, the media, to carry out political endeavors to learn about or dust up one's opponent.
00:37:04.000But he says, quote, but it's not a legitimate role of government for Congress or for taxpayer expense to be used in an effort to damage political opponents, Romney said.
00:37:12.000Wait, so as U.S. Senate investigation into the financial dealings that directly connect to the impeachment of a U.S. president that he voted for, by the way, remember, he was the only Republican to vote for removal of the president on one of the impeachment charges, is not a legitimate role of the U.S. government.
00:37:28.000But thank goodness for Jim Jordan and Senator Rand Paul, who also confirmed that he plans to send the recently released congressional probe into Hunter Biden to the DOJ for a criminal referral against Joe Biden's son.
00:37:41.000We've learned this from Brennan and Comey and Strzok and Page and the Clintons and the Obamas and Susan Rice.
00:37:48.000Democrats are allowed to commit crimes flagrantly, publicly, and financially, while we as conservatives have to be overly criminalized if we dare do anything wrong.
00:38:01.000That's just the rules of engagement right now.
00:38:05.000I wish it was not the case that pastors were not being arrested for opening up their churches and BLM Incorporated would be arrested for burning down major cities.
00:38:14.000I wish that people would be arrested for bringing riot shields and gear in downtown Louisville.
00:38:19.000For the moment that it's announced, they start piling out of a U-Haul the correct supplies that try to disintegrate our country.
00:38:26.000However, just a couple states over, if you dare have too many people in a room and you're a Christian or a conservative, they're going to put you in handcuffs.
00:38:38.000So we know the standard that exists in our country.
00:39:00.000Some people have said that Mitt Romney's family has some ties to Burisma.
00:39:05.000I just want, I've gotten a couple emails on this at freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:39:08.000We are investigating that and we're looking into that.
00:39:11.000So I'm not going to comment either way on it.
00:39:13.000I just think it's very perplexing that Mitt Romney is coming out swinging this hard on this issue, trying to protect Joe Biden.
00:39:21.000But all of this kind of ties to a broader point, which is where is the line for Democrats to finally say that someone on their own team has done something wrong.
00:39:35.000Just look at Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
00:39:38.000It took a repeated pattern and decades-long malfeasance for Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein to finally be held accountable for what they did.
00:39:49.000In fact, what they call a conspiracy here, and I'm kind of exhausted for this term conspiracy, by the way.
00:39:56.000Not that I don't believe that there are people out there that believe in wacky things.
00:40:01.000Love you guys, but I get plenty of those emails.
00:40:05.000But to label anything that you don't like or to label anything that might be a little bit different than the narrative that you hold a conspiracy, I believe is a tactic to try to stunt any sort of meaningful conversation in our country.
00:40:20.000Because for years, I used to visit Palm Beach.
00:40:25.000I did a lot of fundraising in Palm Beach in 2013 and 2014.
00:40:31.000Turning Point USA has been greatly blessed by very generous people in Palm Beach.
00:40:37.000And about six months after I got to Palm Beach, I remember being at a dinner party.
00:40:43.000And it was an El Vedado Road in Palm Beach, Florida.
00:41:08.000And then someone chimed up, like, oh, yeah, he probably, it's Jeffrey Epstein.
00:41:12.000He's probably having all those teenagers over again.
00:41:15.000It was well known in Palm Beach exactly what was happening.
00:41:20.000And yet, if anyone dared speak out in social media or popular media about how Jeffrey Epstein was sex trafficking children, despite it being well known on the island of what was happening, despite the police having almost a no-go zone over his home, all of that aside, it was still called a conspiracy theory that young girls are being trafficked to an island.
00:41:46.000And it just kind of ended all conversation and discussion.
00:41:50.000And then for reasons that I believe are directly correlated and related to the president taking a courageous stand against child sex trafficking, which is a major issue in our country, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, and then Jeffrey Epstein died.
00:42:04.000I think there's a lot of evidence to show that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.
00:42:24.000And if he didn't kill himself, then who did kill him?
00:42:26.000I think it's a very important question.
00:42:29.000But the point being this, is that that entire narrative, despite there being plenty of evidence out there, was described to us as a conspiracy theory.
00:42:38.000I remember trying to mention a conversation around sex trafficking in 15 and 16 at another private event in Palm Beach with people that were not from there mentioning Jeffrey Epstein.
00:42:50.000And people said, don't, no, that's a conspiracy theory.
00:43:19.000However, you want me to prove the earth is not flat, how much time you got, okay?
00:43:25.000So I'm not trying to say that there's not people out there that don't believe wacky things, but the fact that the media and the response to this immediately, Andrew Bates from the Biden campaign, is a conspiracy theory.
00:43:39.000All of a sudden, people run to the hills.
00:43:54.000If you immediately dismiss any sort of charge against someone on your political team as a conspiracy theory, then you don't have debate, dialogue, you don't have fairness or objectivity, and it will only reinforce tribalism in our country.
00:44:11.000Look, we've got a very different kind of sponsor for this episode, the Jordan Harbinger Show, a podcast you should definitely check out.
00:44:17.000The show covers such a wide range of topics through weekly interviews with heavy-hitting guests, and there are a ton of episodes you'll find interesting since you're a fan of the show.
00:44:25.000And I recommend our listeners to check out.
00:44:27.000So look, they have somewhere there, Jordan has some where he's talking to a professional art forger, someone who somehow made millions of dollars while being chased by the feds and the mafia.
00:44:36.000Each episode is a conversation with a different fascinating guest.
00:44:39.000And when I say there's something for everyone here, I really mean that.
00:44:41.000In one episode, Jordan talks to a hostage negotiator from the FBI who offers techniques on how to get people to like and trust you, which sounds useful and disturbing at the same time.
00:44:49.000Another episode tells the story of a cinematographer who discovered a lost city in the jungle and made one of the most archaeological, most important archaeological finds of the century.
00:45:31.000So this whole topic of child sex trafficking actually ties into this lie that a lot of people have been asking us about when you guys email us at freedom at charliekirk.com, which is the kids in cages lie.
00:45:44.000There has been a record amount of content being spread on Instagram and social media saying that President Donald Trump has put kids in cages, that President Donald Trump himself went down to the southern border and stuffed kids in cages and found some sort of sadistic pleasure in it.
00:46:01.000That is the meta narrative that the media is trying to say, the activist media is trying to say, and a lot of these left-wing groups around this idea of kids in cages.
00:46:12.000Many of you probably watched the Democrat National Convention this year.
00:46:16.000Again, I watched it and we reported on it so you didn't have to.
00:46:20.000During Michelle Obama's keynote address at the DNC on August 19th, the former first lady said, speaking of average Americans and immigrants, she said, quote, they watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages.
00:46:36.000This is one of the most often quoted lies of the left, this alongside with the Charlottesville myth.
00:46:45.000Even USA Today, when they did a fact check, they confirmed that Michelle Obama failed to mention one pretty important, extremely important detail.
00:46:55.000The holding enclosures or cages were built during her husband's administration.
00:47:07.000This is from the USA Today fact check.
00:47:09.000In a 2019 interview with a nonpartisan think tank, the Aspen Institute, Jay Johnson, Barack Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, told National Public Radio that cages predate the Trump administration.
00:47:20.000Quote, the photograph you're referring to was a facility in Arizona.
00:47:23.000I recognize the photograph because Governor Brewer was with me.
00:47:27.000Quote, you can't just dump seven-year-old kids on the streets of McCallan or El Paso.
00:47:34.000They put up those chain link partitions up so you could segregate young women from young men, kids from adults, until they were either released or transferred to HHS.
00:47:44.000In 2019, former Trump administration acting director of immigration, customs, and enforcement Tom Homan confirmed this, quote, the kids are being housed in the same facilities built under the Obama administration.
00:47:56.000If you want to call them cages, call them cages.
00:47:58.000But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages, then you have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in fiscal year 15 and I was there.
00:48:07.000So the truth is that Democrats want lax immigration policies that encourage illegal border jumping.
00:48:15.000Some terrible left-wing judges have tied the federal government's hands with regards to family units, forcing the government to release family group of illegal foreign nationals into the United States interior within 72 hours.
00:48:28.000This is foolish, and the president is working to reverse that.
00:48:32.000And coyotes and cartels exploit this by charging thousands of dollars to allow these foreign national border jumpers passage through their territory.
00:48:42.000And many of these children are actually being trafficked.
00:48:50.000Well, number one, it's because one of the biggest lies that is pushed by the left, kids get held at the border because the left won't clap down on policies and encourage illegal immigration they need to call on it.
00:49:01.000All the while, Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, looks to be guilty of trafficking prostitutes internationally with the mayor of Moscow.
00:49:09.000The president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, along with Attorney General Bill Barr, announced this week $100 million in new funding by the Department of Justice to fight human trafficking.
00:49:19.000Could the contrast be any more extreme?
00:49:22.000A spokeswoman for the Department of Justice tweeted out, quote, today Attorney General Barr announced $100 million in grants across the country to combat human trafficking, the largest amount from the federal government in history.
00:49:33.000Funds will support state, local, and tribal jurisdictions, victim service providers, task forces, and research.
00:49:39.000But you look at this contrast and why we bring this all together and how we tie it together.
00:49:45.000You have Hunter Biden, who's being paid by a Russian mayor, Moscow mayor, $3.5 million to help traffic human beings, prostitutes.
00:49:55.000And Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, is appropriating new taxpayer funding, $100 million, try to prevent sex trafficking.
00:50:05.000Donald Trump clamps down on sex traffickers.
00:50:08.000I was at an event in Phoenix this week, and Donald Trump Jr. mentioned this effort by Ivanka and the Department of Justice.
00:50:14.000And it probably received the biggest applause line of the entire event.
00:50:17.000And many people still don't realize that human trafficking is something that happens here all the time in the United States.
00:50:22.000For example, there were nine people arrested recently in Georgia in a sex trafficking sting after 39 kids were found safe across seven states.
00:50:32.000Now, if the media and the activist media was actually doing their job, you probably would have heard nearly 40 missing children are rescued during Georgia sex trafficking bust.
00:50:46.00040 children were missing and they were rescued.
00:50:49.000This is WSBTV2 Atlanta, mainstream local news.
00:50:54.000More than three dozen children are now saved after being rescued during a sex trafficking bust involving state and federal agents.
00:51:01.000Channel 2 News Gwynnett County Bureau Chief Tony Thomas learned that the bus dubbed Operation Not Forgotten spanned 20 counties around Metro Atlanta.
00:51:09.000For two weeks, U.S. Marshals, fugitive hunters, and other agencies scoured North and Middle Georgia looking for missing and exploited children.
00:51:15.000And all 26 endangered children were recovered and another 13 missing children were found.
00:51:20.000Quote, these missing children were considered to be some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery cases in the area based on indications of high-risk factors such as victimization of child sex trafficking, child exploitation, sexual abuse, physical abuse, medical or mental health conditions.
00:51:33.000Other children were located at the request of law enforcement to ensure their well-being.
00:53:02.000When you dare bring up something that threatens the left, like child sex trafficking, because Democrats are very involved in a lot of these different issues, and the media does not like to talk about it.
00:53:12.000I'm not saying every Democrat, but now we have evidence that Hunter Biden's involved in it.
00:53:17.000So now we need to ask: why is the media and why is the political elite, why are they covering up the child sex trafficking epidemic?
00:53:26.000And I use that word intentionally in our country.
00:53:28.000We're going to do an episode next week where we dive deeper into the crisis of child sex trafficking because it's a very big issue that the media does not want us to talk about.
00:53:36.000The media just says it's a fringe conspiracy theory.
00:53:38.000Well, then tell me why 40 children were rescued in Georgia during a sex trafficking bust on August 28th.
00:54:36.000This is now the Democrat Party, which is protecting, normalizing pedophiles and sex trafficking.
00:54:45.000And for Christians out there that say, I don't like Trump, then you are going to have to face your creator one day and say, you did nothing while children are being sex trafficked across our country.
00:54:59.000And President Trump's doing something about it.
00:55:13.000That means that your preference for tone, tweet characters, that matters more than actually people being held criminally accountable.
00:55:22.000Don't expect to hear anything else about Hunter Biden's criminal escapades from the activist media, but we're going to stay on top of the story.
00:55:29.000My hopes are very low that the Department of Justice will proceed with any sort of criminal findings because Democrats are allowed to commit crimes and conservatives are not.
00:55:41.000So keep your eyes peeled for all of that.
00:55:43.000Just keep your expectations low, but know the facts.
00:55:57.000Say, why didn't the media tell us this?
00:55:59.000Why is the activist media trying to cover this up?
00:56:03.000The more informed and the more engaged you are in these stories, the better you will be able to make sense of all the propaganda that the activist media is telling you.
