00:00:32.000I don't think anybody else is making about the inconsistencies in the left's logic as it approaches its indictments, multiple indictments of Donald Trump.
00:01:08.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:42.000So you made a promise at this town hall event.
00:01:45.000You said, I will not vote to fund the government if Congress doesn't do this.
00:01:49.000And the following are: impeachment inquiry, vote on Joe Biden, defund Biden's weaponization of government, eliminate all COVID vaccines and mandates, and no funding for the war in Ukraine.
00:03:16.000We have to pass 11 before September 30th.
00:03:20.000And September 30th, the government shuts down.
00:03:25.000Now, that doesn't sound like a big deal to especially most Americans because pretty much everyone I know is like, who cares if the government shuts down?
00:03:34.000But it's actually our constitutional duty as members in the House of Representatives.
00:03:45.000If we're not able to pass those 11 appropriation bills by September 30th, we're looking at having to vote on a short-term continued resolution.
00:03:57.000We continue funding the government with all the same rules and spending policy and spending amounts that Nancy Pelosi put in line and passed before we took the majority.
00:04:12.000And so this is a place where I really think it's something we have to stand up to.
00:04:18.000And I made a promise to my constituents.
00:04:27.000I will not fund the continuation of the weaponized government.
00:04:32.000And I think the best way to look at this is if we have to pass a short-term CR, we have to look at it like emergency funding for the government.
00:04:41.000And that means you don't have to fund all of it on September 30th.
00:05:41.000But, you know, Congresswoman, it occurs to me that if Trump is indicted, if Trump is being persecuted politically, is it the real emergency is for our democracy itself?
00:05:53.000You know, do we need emergency funding for a regime that has been weaponized against parents and moms and school boards, that has been weaponized against pro-life activists, that has been weaponized against a former president, that's been weaponized against these J6 defendants in our nation's capital?
00:06:12.000Isn't this crisis already at such a boiling point?
00:06:16.000What is it going to take to get some of these moderates like Don Bacon and Nebraska on board with moving forward with some more stringent, you know, punch them back twice as hard kind of, we're not playing this game anymore.
00:06:32.000Well, you got to realize people like Don Bacon and others have a lot of power because we only have 222 Republicans in the House of Representatives.
00:06:43.000And it takes 218 votes voting yes together to pass anything in the House.
00:06:51.000And so, you know, I always tell people, it's like when you try to decide what restaurant to go to with your husband or wife or your kids or a group of people and everybody argues about where to go eat.
00:07:02.000Imagine trying to get 218 Republicans to agree on what to vote on.
00:07:08.000And so we are constantly battling that.
00:07:11.000And I don't understand it either, Andrew.
00:07:14.000I mean, I've been for impeachment of Joe Biden since his first day of office.
00:07:18.000And I introduced articles of impeachment on Joe Biden's first day of office on the burisma and Ukraine issue because we all knew it existed.
00:08:14.000Mike Lawler, who won a very, well, it's a blue district, the Biden district in New York.
00:08:20.000It's been people like that who have been sitting on the fence.
00:08:24.000Speaker McCarthy has spent pretty much this entire recess going around talking and presenting the evidence that we have uncovered on the oversight committee trying to push for an impeachment inquiry.
00:08:37.000And so from what I understand, what I've been told is we have the votes to get 218 for an impeachment inquiry.
00:11:42.000Congresswoman, what does an impeachment inquiry do?
00:11:46.000What powers does that extend to House GOP?
00:11:50.000Cloning impeachment inquiry is the proper way to impeach a president, and it broadens our scope of power.
00:11:58.000It puts more power behind our subpoenas, and it puts the full force and weight of the House of Representatives into the investigation, into looking into the crimes, investigating every single detail of what the president may have done.
00:12:19.000He has used or abused his power and engaged in corrupt business deals with his son and people and governments all over the world.
00:12:30.000So, what that will entail is I would expect a very long, drawn-out, extremely painful process for Joe Biden as we work through an impeachment inquiry and ask the question, should we impeach Joe Biden?
00:12:44.000That would be just unveiling evidence after evidence for the American people.
00:12:50.000And everyone can see for themselves exactly what this man has done throughout his career.
00:12:56.000I wasn't expecting to ask this, but I've seen Representative Nancy Mace go and basically claim that the Bidens received upwards of $50 million.
00:13:05.000Is that your understanding as well, Congresswoman?
00:14:58.000We will have direct and real evidence that the American people will be shocked by, and they deserve that.
00:15:04.000And in fact, it will prove that this corrupt man did nothing but enrich himself and his family, abusing his power, the most powerful positions in the world, senator, vice president, president, while he has passed policies that have not only destroyed our freedoms, but destroyed our ability to live the American dream.
00:16:35.000I'm really glad he's doing what he's doing and pushing this out there.
00:16:39.000But the reality, the literal reality, the vote count, we do not have enough Republicans in the House and the Senate to vote to impeach Fonnie Willis.
00:16:50.000So unless we have a new election and all of a sudden elect more Republicans, it just can't happen.
00:16:58.000Hey, everybody, Mike Lindell has a passion to help you get the best sleep of your life.
00:18:44.000So this is something that I found remarkably interesting as we came to the indictments and all of this.
00:18:51.000In 2019, when Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, one of the things that he was impeached for in December 2019 was for election interference in the 2020 presidential election.
00:19:06.000You remember that Biden announced in 2019 in April that he was going to be running for president.
00:19:11.000And then we had, you know, Trump was the president.
00:19:17.000And in 2019, you had the U.S. House accusing Trump of election interference into an election that had not happened yet.
00:19:25.000And their reasoning was because he had made a phone call to President Zelensky of Ukraine inquiring as to Biden's involvement in the firing of a prosecutor called Viktor Shokin.
00:19:39.000So if I can just read from the impeachment.
00:19:42.000Yeah, so they said that Trump interfered in the 2020 election.
00:19:46.000Of course, this was months and months prior to the election, saying he did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit Trump's reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, namely Joe Biden, and influence the 2020 United States presidential election to his advantage.
00:20:08.000So the U.S. House determined that Trump interfered in an election that had not happened yet because he asked for an investigation into Biden's activities in Ukraine with the firing of this prosecutor, which has its own entire backstory.
00:20:23.000However, Joe Biden, his Department of Justice, is currently prosecuting a political opponent of his.
00:20:33.000So, how is that not election interference?
00:20:36.000We have now, if asking for an investigation into a fellow candidate, a political opponent, can get a president impeached, then why isn't it impeachable for Biden to have his Department of Justice actually using the power of the executive branch to prosecute his political opponent?
00:20:53.000You also have Joe Biden and the White House consistently insisting that the Department of Justice, headed by Merritt Garland, who, of course, has his own personal beefs with Donald Trump, that this Department of Justice is independent.
00:21:05.000This is what Biden and the White House keep telling us.
00:21:08.000However, we also have reporting out from the New York Post that shows that Biden aides, aides from the White House, met with special counsel Jack Smith prior to the indictments being levied against Trump.
00:21:21.000What business could they possibly have with special counsel, independent officer Jack Smith, working under the DOJ?
00:21:30.000What business could they have with him other than to discuss impending indictments?
00:21:34.000We have also seen Trump and his campaign come out and say that they believe there has been some collusion between the district attorney in Atlanta, Fonnie Willis, and the district attorney in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, as well as with the Department of Justice and Jack Smith.
00:21:51.000So I ask you, why is Biden not being impeached for interfering in the 2024 election by launching a prosecution of his primary political opponent?
00:22:04.000It's a great connection you've made, Libby.
00:22:06.000I haven't heard anybody really connect it so succinctly in referencing the impeachment of Donald Trump and the same precedent that they set there that, hey, you're calling for an investigation.
00:22:35.000Now, is the DOJ getting marching orders from the Biden White House?
00:22:40.000If you guys could throw up that New York Post graphic right now, Biden staffers met with special counsel Jack Smith's aides before Trump indictment.
00:22:48.000The White House counsel's office met with a top aide to special counsel Jack Smith just weeks before he brought charges against former President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents, raising serious concerns about coordinated legal efforts.
00:23:02.000Again, coordinated legal efforts aimed at President Biden's likely 2024 opponent.
00:23:10.000Now, we also have this, which happened right here on this show, which was a really important connection that was this the new Gingrich thing?
00:23:25.000That I am told, this is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening, somebody from Washington called the District Attorney in Atlanta and said, you have to indict on Monday.
00:23:37.000We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Weiss.
00:23:42.000And she said, apparently, my jurors aren't coming back till Tuesday.
00:24:05.000And I'm telling you up front, this is hearsay, but it's from a person who has remarkably good.
00:24:09.000I totally believe it, though, because that would explain why they leaked and they messed up on the clerk document, why she was exhausted and why they had the 11 p.m. press conference, Mr. Speaker.
00:24:20.000Look at Newton is just laughing because he's like, of course this is coordinated.
00:24:26.000It's ironic that Trump is under indictment for a conspiracy and racketeering.
00:24:30.000Meanwhile, the left has coordinated the assault on electors in, I mean, even Arizona was talking about doing it.
00:24:37.000Michigan, Georgia, a number of the electors have been indicted as co-conspiracies, co-conspirators.
00:24:43.000Meanwhile, you have this meeting that happened between the White House aides and Jack Smith.
00:24:50.000And then you have this hearsay, although I believe Newt's sources to be fairly reliable.
00:24:56.000If he's hearing this, that means that there's a little whisper campaign talking about this coordinated colluding effort on the left, meaning the Biden DOJ is completely working on behalf of the Biden campaign.
00:25:16.000In fact, I think there's even more to it.
00:25:18.000Not only is the DOJ right now working on behalf of the Biden campaign, they have been working on behalf of the Biden campaign and then the presidency for some time.
00:25:29.000We also have heard whistleblower testimony from IRS agent Gary Shapley, who testified before Congress in June, saying that as soon as Biden was the presumptive nominee in 2020, investigations that the IRS had going into his son Hunter Biden's tax issues and tax schemes, as well as a gun charge, were essentially tabled.
00:25:53.000The breaks were put on these investigations.
00:25:56.000Shapley and those who were working on the investigation with him were not able to push things through.
00:26:04.000Eventually, they were told that they could go public with the investigation after the election in 2020.
00:26:11.000However, after that November election, they were told that because there were issues in the wake of that election, they would not be able to go public with it until December.
00:26:20.000By the time they were ready to go public with it, Shapley testified that essentially the DOJ had tipped off Biden's Secret Service agents who were covering him at that point.
00:26:31.000And therefore, the search warrant that they had worked to obtain and plan to execute was completely undermined by the DOJ.
00:26:42.000The DOJ does not appear to be at all independent.
00:26:45.000In fact, they appear to be working directly for the Biden campaign for the Biden family and have been doing so for some time.
00:26:53.000I think it's absolutely essential to get to the bottom of what was going on with these Biden aides meeting with Jack Smith.
00:27:00.000They have absolutely no business meddling in the affairs of a special counsel.
00:27:03.000And when you look at what's going on with special counsels in the Department of Justice, we also see that they appointed a U.S. attorney, David Weiss, who was the U.S. attorney for Delaware, as special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden.
00:27:19.000When we also have testimony, again, from Shapley, that Weiss was preventing the furtherance of his investigation into Hunter Biden.
00:27:30.000I believe Senator Ted Cruz mentioned this, that says that a special counsel cannot continue working for the Department of Justice in the capacity of a U.S. attorney.
00:27:40.000Now you have David Weiss essentially double dipping.
00:27:43.000He's both working for the DOJ and supposed to be independently prosecuting Hunter Biden.
00:27:48.000That's just not possible for him to do.
00:27:51.000You cannot serve two masters at the same time.
00:27:56.000So we have a not independent DOJ prosecuting the president's political opponents, refusing to actually do an investigation into Hunter Biden, and specifically refusing to investigate Joe Biden's involvement in his son's business dealings in China and notably Ukraine.
00:28:15.000So if you also go back to what the Congress is working to uncover, which I think has really been underreported, you see that Biden has his hands dirty all over the place.
00:29:18.000I think they're covering up for a lot of things.
00:29:20.000One, I think that they're covering up for appointing someone as special counsel who has hindered an investigation into the very thing he is now tasked with investigating.
00:29:30.000He was the one who said that he would not bring a case against Hunter Biden in Delaware.
00:29:37.000Now he's saying that maybe he would bring it in California or D.C.
00:29:41.000The attorneys in those places said already that they would not bring a case against Hunter Biden.
00:29:48.000I think it's also a screw up to have appointed someone who's already working for the DOJ.
00:29:54.000And I think there's probably more to what's going on there than we know, because I think also Weiss already was involved with the Biden family in a personal way previously.
00:30:07.000Bo Biden, yes, he worked with Bo Biden.
00:30:09.000And then I believe one of his aides, Blake can fact chuck us in real time, but I believe one of the Bo Biden's aides was actually on his team of lawyers in this investigation.
00:30:24.000So one, I mean, here, let's take it a level back, though, Libby.
00:30:31.000And this is what is just occurring to me in this moment.
00:31:00.000Well, we do know that Hunter Biden was up on criminal charges, right?
00:31:05.000For I think he had two misdemeanors, two tax charges and a gun charge because he had lied on a gun background check, which of course is credibly ironic given his father's demand for constant background checks of everyone who's ever touched a gun once in their life.
00:31:38.000There was a portion of it in the gun deferment charge, which basically said, if you stay out of trouble, we won't charge you with this gun thing that essentially would have precluded any prosecution or indictment of Hunter Biden on any other future charges, including charges related to having not registered as a foreign agent before collecting millions and millions of dollars from Ukraine and China and Kazakhstan.
00:32:08.000I think they know they've been, they have them dead to rights.
00:32:12.000I think they know House GOP has them dead to rights.
00:32:15.000I think they know that they have Hunter dead to rights.
00:32:18.000I think that they know that there is a recording that is about to be shown to the public that is about to blow the doors off this investigation in a major way.
00:32:29.000But Greg Kelly has been hinting about this.
00:32:36.000So, but my point is, I think that they gave too much credence to the Hunter Biden investigation by appointing this special counsel.
00:32:43.000And they probably broke with the Biden White House.
00:32:48.000And so that had everybody scrambling, which is why they called Fanny down in Fulton County to move quick, to move, to change the narrative.
00:32:55.000But I think that's what's really going on here is that it was a political calculation.
00:33:02.000They knew that the DOJ gave too much credence to the investigation by appointing David Weiss, even though David Weiss is in their pocket.
