00:00:41.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:43.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:45.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:49.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:52.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:53.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:54.000 His spirit is love of this country.
00:00:56.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:01.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:02.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:11.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:14.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:23.000 Take out your phone and download the Public Square app.
00:01:30.000 Very important to be able to navigate the new parallel economy.
00:01:35.000 It's free of charge.
00:01:36.000 And joining us now is the man behind Public Square, Michael Seifert.
00:01:40.000 Michael, welcome back to the program.
00:01:42.000 Charlie, good to see you.
00:01:43.000 So Michael, give us an update.
00:01:45.000 You guys are growing like crazy.
00:01:46.000 PublicSquare, publicsq.com.
00:01:49.000 We partner on a lot of different things.
00:01:50.000 Give us an update of how things are going.
00:01:52.000 Well, Charlie, thanks to you and your incredible listeners and community and this overall movement toward the parallel economy, leaving woke companies like Target, Anheuser, Busch, Disney behind.
00:02:04.000 We actually have recently achieved over a million consumer memberships on the platform.
00:02:09.000 So registered consumer members.
00:02:11.000 These are not bots.
00:02:12.000 These are real people hungry for a solution.
00:02:14.000 And that actually means that we have achieved a million members faster than Twitter did in the early days.
00:02:19.000 So we're really grateful for the growth.
00:02:20.000 It's been tremendous, but we are just getting started.
00:02:22.000 We're confident in that.
00:02:23.000 And every single day, this progressive Marxist culture that's infiltrated corporate America continues to remind us why a platform like this is so needed now than ever.
00:02:33.000 Yeah, especially during this Pride Month nonsense where we're seeing companies, one that we're going to talk about some examples here.
00:02:41.000 But Michael, if you were to say which company is totally out of alignment with their normal customer, I'd put Cracker Barrel at the top of the list.
00:02:52.000 Now, I wouldn't ever want to go to Cracker Barrel because I consider eating there to be a very cruel, unusual form of punishment.
00:02:58.000 However, some people seem to like it.
00:03:01.000 Maybe if you're going on some sort of road trip and you run out of gas and you haven't eaten for a couple of weeks, then you might find yourself in a Cracker Barrel.
00:03:09.000 But Cracker Barrel all of a sudden has gone super pro-LGBT. 0.88
00:03:14.000 But now what they need to do, Michael, is for people that are going on a road trip that are 95 miles off a highway and they're running out of gas, take out the Public Square app and see if there is a patriotic business instead of Cracker Barrel.
00:03:26.000 Your thoughts?
00:03:27.000 Well, yeah, I always kind of considered Cracker Barrel as a last resort.
00:03:30.000 But honestly, after the recent moves from Cracker Barrel, I would choose fasting.
00:03:35.000 And we're grateful now, though, for all of these examples, whether it's Adidas, Nike, Target, Cracker Barrel, Starbucks, you name it.
00:03:44.000 We have alternatives.
00:03:45.000 And that's exactly the message we're trying to communicate is that it's not just enough to boycott.
00:03:49.000 It's not enough just to say we're leaving this behind.
00:03:52.000 We have to have quality alternatives that we're going to.
00:03:54.000 And now we're over 55,000 vendors on the platform that serve these quality alternatives.
00:03:59.000 And while Starbucks decides to fund abortions and Target decides to do the same and all of them are lecturing you about gender ideology, we're speaking an antithetical message.
00:04:10.000 We're actually going the opposite direction and saying that while they prioritize intersectionality, we're prioritizing true equality and the value of the individual.
00:04:18.000 While they're prioritizing funding their employees' abortions, we actually announced this morning, Charlie, that we are doing a baby bonus, $5,000 to any employee of ours that has a baby or chooses to adopt.
00:04:31.000 So whatever this culture is doing that leads to ultimately the destruction of society, we are doing the opposite.
00:04:37.000 And we're so grateful that millions of Americans are coming with us.
00:04:40.000 This is important.
00:04:40.000 So let's ask, so why would companies pay for their employees' abortions?
00:04:44.000 There's two reasons. 0.99
00:04:45.000 Number one, they want to try to win favor in the HR departments.
00:04:49.000 The second, it's really, really sinister, Michael.
00:04:52.000 It's that major companies, they do not want their productive female employees to have to be distracted with children at home.
00:05:01.000 So they subsidize the massacring of the kids in the womb so they could stay happy corporate robots so they don't have to have paid family leave or you might not be able to respond to the email as quick on a Saturday afternoon because you have a little kid. 0.79
00:05:18.000 These companies paying for abortions, it's less ideological and it's just pure corporate profit.
00:05:24.000 It's really sick.
00:05:25.000 I'm really glad you guys are doing that.
00:05:26.000 Why isn't it Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Wells Fargo, Dropbox, Salesforce?
00:05:32.000 Why don't they pay their employees to have kids?
00:05:35.000 Oh, because if their employees start to have kids, then all of a sudden they'll be less loyal to Salesforce and actually might have some distraction. 1.00
00:05:44.000 And abortion is a way to keep them attached to the corporate golden calf.
00:05:50.000 So Michael, let's talk about Starbucks.
00:05:52.000 By the way, everyone, again, take out your phone and download the Public Square app.
00:05:55.000 It is your map.
00:05:55.000 It's your compass.
00:05:56.000 It's your navigational tool of this new economy.
00:05:59.000 Starbucks is retreating, backtracking, denying a lot of information around Starbucks right now.
00:06:06.000 So Starbucks, for people that want to go there, I guess, you would see that they're taking down Pride stuff, but the recent update is that they're denying it, right?
00:06:18.000 So Starbucks is denying that they've banned Pride decorations from its stores.
00:06:22.000 However, the Starbucks worker union is pushing back on the denial, saying it's received countless stories from workers who are claiming the decorations are in fact coming down.
00:06:30.000 Coffee shops are one of the life sources of the public square directory.
00:06:35.000 Michael, tell us about it.
00:06:36.000 Yeah, honestly, it's interesting to watch this play out in real time of this teeter-totter back and forth messaging between the unions and Starbucks corporately.
00:06:45.000 Starbucks continuing to reaffirm its support for the alphabet mafia. 0.54
00:06:48.000 And actually in the statement of the spokesperson, he literally listed out like 27 different letters.
00:06:54.000 He created new letters to the alphabet that I hadn't even seen before.
00:06:57.000 It was egregious to watch this corporate pandering to this community that's again, all based upon progressive politics and consumers are just tired of it.
00:07:06.000 And so what we're hearing loud and clear is that, especially for these daily essentials like coffee, like your food, household cleaning items, that there's such these strong, there's such a strong need for alternatives.
00:07:17.000 And that's why coffee is one of the largest industries on our platform.
00:07:20.000 And I was actually just at a coffee shop, a public square coffee shop last week run by an Italian immigrant, new to the United States, second generation Italian immigrant, created this coffee shop, loves this country, recognizes how special the values we hold dear are.
00:07:34.000 And the entire premise is around providing high quality, excellent execution of their products to consumers that are going out of their way to support them.
00:07:45.000 And it has, it's so much deeper than politics.
00:07:47.000 It's about principles.
00:07:48.000 So you can actually go to this coffee shop and know that you're supporting someone in your local community, or you can go to another Starbucks off the freeway where they're going to treat you poorly.
00:07:56.000 They're going to get your name wrong.
00:07:57.000 They're going to donate to abortion. 0.60
00:07:58.000 And then they're going to pander to the alphabet, mafia, with your dollars.
00:08:01.000 Like, I think the choice is pretty clear.
00:08:03.000 And that's why we're trying to build this economy that's centered on these deeper principles so that you're able to unsubscribe from this corrupt intersectional system and subscribe to a new one that you know will honor the values that built this great nation in the first place.
00:08:15.000 One million active users.
00:08:17.000 Let's play cut 58, please, of a Starbucks employee saying that they were told by corporate they cannot hang the flags because it's unsafe to do so without ladders.
00:08:26.000 Very silly, play cut 58.
00:08:28.000 What are we looking at here? 0.97
00:08:30.000 Well, those are our hard thoughts.
00:08:32.000 We have had them up every year for, I don't know, as long as I've worked here.
00:08:36.000 This is the first year that no one hung them up, and they're just sitting in the back room.
00:08:42.000 So, why are those in this bucket right here instead of hanging up during Pride Month in a Starbucks?
00:08:47.000 Well, Starbucks says that it's unsafe.
00:08:50.000 We don't have a ladder to be able to hang them up properly.
00:08:54.000 So, we're just not going to hang them up this year.
00:08:56.000 And so, Starbucks has had these hanging up in the lobby before this year, correct?
00:09:01.000 Every year for as long as I've worked here, which is five or six years.
00:09:05.000 That's really crazy.
00:09:07.000 So, Michael, my thought is that there is some truth to this.
00:09:12.000 I think, especially in Redder States, I bet if you did this, there are probably some Starbuck regional managers that got a call from the CEO.
00:09:18.000 He's like, guys, can you just de-emphasize this Pride stuff?
00:09:21.000 We're seeing sales go down.
00:09:23.000 I mean, that dog does not hunt in Huntsville, Alabama.
00:09:27.000 It's not exactly popular in Sioux City, South Dakota to have like this triumphant trans thing like San Francisco. 0.65
00:09:35.000 Michael, I think there is a top-down order and they're trying to cover it up.
00:09:39.000 I actually think there's some truth, especially regionally.
00:09:42.000 Michael, your reaction: $50 billion in market cap, Charlie, has been lost, eviscerated from Anheuser-Busch, Disney, and Target in the last 60 days alone.
00:09:53.000 So, what I think is happening here is those managers, like you just described, are afraid of the Bud Light effect.
00:10:00.000 They're recognizing that the writing's on the wall.
00:10:02.000 Americans are pushing back against these ESG and DEI agendas that force this sort of messaging, and they're saying we're done.
00:10:09.000 And I think it's actually really wise of those managers to hold their ground and say, We do need to pull back the prime stuff.
00:10:15.000 This is awful.
00:10:15.000 This is going to lead to the lessening of our business.
00:10:17.000 So, it's a bummer that Starbucks corporate is coming out and refuting what potentially these managers might be doing.
00:10:23.000 And by the way, one last little point here: the people that were the most affected by Bud Light's malfeasance were the distributors caught in the middle.
00:10:30.000 They didn't have a choice about it.
00:10:32.000 And I think these managers of Starbucks are probably in the same scenario.
00:10:35.000 They're like, We do not want to answer for they don't franchise, I think, right?
00:10:38.000 I think Starbucks doesn't franchise, but the mid-level managers probably, no, but they probably have bonuses and they have to meet metrics, right?
00:10:45.000 So, I mean, if you're a mid-level manager and you oversee the Great Plains, does Starbucks franchise?
00:10:51.000 That would be interesting.
00:10:51.000 I don't think they do.
00:10:52.000 The mid-level managers that they do in the Great Plains, they're like, Look, I got to hit my goals here.
00:10:58.000 And in Lincoln, Nebraska, our sales are down or whatever it is.
00:11:03.000 Look, are you concerned about the American K through 12 education system?
00:11:06.000 Are you worried about what your children and your grandchildren are learning or honestly not learning in school?
00:11:12.000 If you answer yes, my friends at Hillsdale College have a free resource for you.
00:11:15.000 Hillsdale College understands the importance of education to the future of our country.
00:11:19.000 They're now offering 10 free print copies of their recent issue of In Primus.

00:12:14.000 So we're about halfway through Pride Month, Michael.
00:12:18.000 Are things going better than you would have expected on the kind of patriot economy corporate front?
00:12:24.000 $50 billion that has been lost in market value from these companies.
00:12:28.000 Did you anticipate this sort of reaction?
00:12:31.000 Charlie, I got to be honest, we saw it two years ago.
00:12:34.000 When we started Public Square initially, we started it with an inclination toward this coming moment that we're currently seeing right now.
00:12:44.000 And back then, it was interesting because when I tell people about the fact that we were building this website, this directory of non-woke businesses that were going to push back against this progressive economy and they were going to provide America-first options for all of our life's essentials, I was met with a lot of, are you sure the country's ready?
00:12:59.000 And I don't know, it hadn't gotten that bad.
00:13:01.000 And I just am not really seeing it.
00:13:04.000 Two years later, nobody asked me that anymore.
00:13:06.000 Everyone completely gets it.
00:13:07.000 In fact, the mama bears have led the way.
00:13:09.000 And our average consumer on the platform today is a mid-30s mama bear that loves her kids and is tired of the indoctrination.
00:13:16.000 And they have led the way in shaping this parallel economy.
00:13:19.000 And that, by the way, is the most powerful consumer demographic.
00:13:22.000 That's over 70% of daily purchases are made by that demographic.
00:13:25.000 And so what we've seen this month has not actually surprised me.
00:13:28.000 You've seen two things happen at the same time.
00:13:30.000 One is Americans are waking up and are realizing that being indoctrinated by companies and lectured about gender ideology when you're trying to buy a cup of coffee gets really tiring.
00:13:39.000 And number two, those companies will eventually turn face if you hit their profits.
00:13:46.000 If you hit their profits, and you actually penalize these companies, we're going to start to see the tide turn in our favor.
00:13:54.000 It's easy to be woke when interest rates are low.
00:13:57.000 It is tougher to be woke when interest rates are high and the economy is a little bit jittery.
00:14:03.000 All of a sudden, you're asking, wait, we're not even making profit.
00:14:06.000 And then you ask yourself, are we a coffee company that's supposed to turn a profit?
00:14:10.000 Or are we a coffee company with millions of shareholders?
00:14:13.000 As soon as that question starts to get asked, this woke stuff starts to get put in jeopardy.
00:14:19.000 Let's play cut 22. 0.96
00:14:20.000 Joe Biden's assistant HHS Secretary Dick Levine calls the hacking of kids' genitals necessary. 0.94
00:14:27.000 Play cut 22.
00:14:29.000 Gender affirmative care is medically necessary, safe, and effective for transgender and non-binary youth and adults.
00:14:37.000 Those who attack our LGBTQI community are driven by an agenda that has nothing to do with science and medicine.
00:14:46.000 These are politically and ideologically motivated attacks again on trans youth, and they are contrary to the overwhelming science and evidence.
00:14:54.000 So we all have to stand up.
00:14:56.000 We have to stand up and advocate and take a stand on behalf of those who would be harmed in many states across the country.
00:15:05.000 This is being pushed by the government to corporations.
00:15:08.000 We then see Lockheed Martin, a defense contractor, marching in the streets for pride.
00:15:14.000 Michael, we are really going to come up against an inflection point where these companies are going to have to decide.
00:15:22.000 And by the way, they better be careful because shareholder lawsuits need to be threatened if they make the wrong decision because they have a fiduciary responsibility to return profit to the shareholders.
00:15:34.000 And now there is provable evidence that overly embracing this stuff, class action lawsuits can threaten you.
00:15:44.000 Yeah, Charlie, these companies prioritizing a high ESG score over the interests of their consumers and shareholders is at the root of all of this.
00:15:44.000 Michael?
00:15:53.000 They are far more pleased with getting a loan from Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase because they had a high ESG score than they are when the consumers are actually happy with them or when shareholders are happy with them.
00:16:04.000 So, Elon Musk earlier this week called for a class action lawsuit against Target from the shareholders because 15 billion got wiped off of that company alone's market cap, which is absolute degradation to the value of the shareholders.
00:16:15.000 And I think this should happen across the board.
00:16:17.000 I think BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street and Jamie Dimon and J.P. Morgan Chase, all the way to the top, should learn that them pushing these companies to make bad bets towards socially engineered progressivism nonsense leads to an uprising of consumers and shareholders that are saying we've had enough.
00:16:37.000 And I believe firmly, Charlie, that the tide will turn in our direction and then people will recognize that America First Marketplace is the only way to go.
00:16:44.000 In the culture war, your credit card is your sword.
00:16:47.000 You want to defeat these people?
00:16:49.000 Your weapon is your credit card.
00:16:52.000 Financial pain is the way to teach these companies that we're not going to put up with this anymore.
00:16:59.000 Stop putting woke companies on your credit card.

00:18:37.000 Peter, welcome to the program.
00:18:39.000 Peter, you deserve a lot of credit.
00:18:40.000 You have been way ahead of the curve on this Biden stuff.
00:18:43.000 When I mean ahead of the curve, I mean years ahead of the curve.
00:18:48.000 And I personally, I do this for a living.
00:18:51.000 I read the news 10 hours a day, 12 hours a day.
00:18:54.000 I get confused on the Biden corruption stuff.
00:18:57.000 I need kind of like a massive whiteboard of webs and wire transfers and shell corporations.
00:19:04.000 And then I don't always know when I hear a new piece of news from Chuck Grassley, for example, or James Comer: is this news or is this something that Peter Schweiser tries to tell us two years ago?
00:19:14.000 So, what is considered news and what is considered now evidentiary confirmation of what we've already known?
00:19:19.000 So, Peter, walk us through what is considered to be new and what we've already known.
00:19:23.000 The floor is yours.
00:19:24.000 Well, we all knew for years now that the Bidens were getting paid by Ukraine, and that came because Hunter was, of course, put on the board and became a consultant to Burisma, that Ukrainian energy company.
00:19:35.000 What is new is the fact that you had a confidential source to the FBI go to the FBI and say, I had a conversation with the head of that Burisma company.
00:19:47.000 His name is Lechewski, who is, by the way, kind of a pro-Russian Ukrainian.
00:19:53.000 And he told me that he paid $5 million to Joe and $5 million to Hunter, basically as protection money.
00:20:02.000 This is above and beyond the million dollars a year that Hunter Biden was getting.
00:20:07.000 He also says, this confidential source says that Zlichewski recorded phone conversations with both Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
00:20:19.000 That is all new.
00:20:20.000 That is further evidence to kind of what we knew before, but I think tightens the noose as far as this scandal is concerned with the Bidens.
00:20:28.000 And it's getting increasingly difficult, Charlie, for them to say, oh, no, it was a business relationship.
00:20:34.000 There's nothing related to Joe here.
00:20:36.000 The noose is tightening, and that is a problem for the Bidens.
00:20:39.000 And I will add, Charlie, that we don't know who this FBI confidential informant is, but we keep being told this is a very, very, very reliable source.
00:20:49.000 He's been giving information to the FBI for 10 years.
00:20:53.000 If you look at Burisma, there are several former U.S. government employees that either joined the board or became consultants to Burisma, former CIA, former FBI officials.
00:21:06.000 I would not be surprised if those are the actual sources for the information that the FBI has.
00:21:14.000 The problem is, Charlie, the FBI does not seem to have done anything with this.
00:21:19.000 They have this confidential source telling them something very, very shocking about the Vice President of the United States.
00:21:26.000 There's no evidence thus far that they further investigated, that they shared it with the Department of Justice.
00:21:32.000 They just sat on it.
00:21:34.000 So there's so much happening here because there's also the IRS stuff with Hunter Biden and the reassignment.
00:21:41.000 So I do want to get into that.
00:21:43.000 But I want to play this piece of tape, and I want you to tell us, based on what Chuck Grassley is saying, who's very credible, how much of this did we not know, for example, a year and a half ago?
00:21:53.000 Play Cut 29.
00:21:55.000 The Foreign National, who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, allegedly has audio recordings of his conversation with them.
00:22:05.000 17 such recordings.
00:22:09.000 According to the 1023, the Foreign National possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden.
00:22:20.000 The Foreign National possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then Vice President Joe Biden.
00:22:29.000 These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the Foreign National in case that he got into a tight spot.
00:22:38.000 So I'm guessing the recordings is new information.
00:22:41.000 Is that right?
00:22:42.000 Yeah, you're right, Charlie.
00:22:44.000 And let's remember what Joe Biden has insisted from the beginning is he had absolutely no contact with Burisma, this Ukrainian energy company that was paying his son.
00:22:54.000 That was totally his son's deal.
00:22:56.000 This seems to directly contradict it, that he was in fact talking with Burisma executives.
00:23:02.000 There's another interesting wrinkle here, Charlie.
00:23:05.000 If you look at the laptop, the Hunter Biden laptop, you will notice that Hunter Biden is paying for a cell phone for his father to use while he's Vice President of the United States.
00:23:16.000 It's an ATT bill.
00:23:17.000 You see it in the laptop.
00:23:19.000 That was a number that was being paid for by Hunter Biden's firm.
00:23:24.000 So it was a back-channel means of communication with Joe Biden.
00:23:29.000 Here's the interesting thing.
00:23:30.000 The oversight committee is apparently going to subpoena those phone records.
00:23:36.000 If they do so, we gave the committee the phone number.
00:23:39.000 We know the phone number that was Joe Biden's back channel number when he was vice president.
00:23:44.000 If they subpoena those records, we should know pretty quickly who he was talking to and when he was talking to them.
00:23:50.000 And if we, in fact, see numbers from Zlachevsky or Burisma, that is direct confirmation that that conversation or those conversations actually took place.
00:24:01.000 I just want to reiterate something that you mentioned.
00:24:04.000 Peter, you have this all mapped out.
00:24:07.000 If I'm not mistaken, the Oversight Committee is relying on a lot of the research that you've done because they could be going into a labyrinth of trapdoors and stuff.
00:24:15.000 Is that correct?
00:24:15.000 I mean, at least from what you can share, it seems as if you've done 90% of this research.
00:24:20.000 Now it's just up for them to approve subpoenas and do the stuff that you can't do as an outside researcher.
00:24:26.000 Yeah, I mean, Charlie, we have the outlines of the story.
00:24:30.000 We knew about the money flows.
00:24:31.000 We knew about the deals.
00:24:33.000 What the committee can do, as you point out, is issue subpoenas so they can actually get phone records.
00:24:38.000 So, for example, the committee has talked about about $10 million that they've accounted to going to the Bidens from these foreign entities, primarily China.
00:24:47.000 Well, that's only based on subpoenas of four of 12 banks.
00:24:52.000 They still have not received subpoenas from those other eight banks.
00:24:55.000 They still haven't received the financial records.
00:24:57.000 So those numbers are going to go up.
00:24:59.000 But yes, the committee is using our work as a roadmap, but they have the ability to force people like Hunter Biden's business partners, for example.
00:25:08.000 They can subpoena them, force them to share information and cooperate, which I think some of them are doing.
00:25:14.000 So it's very exciting for us.
00:25:15.000 It's confirmation of what we believe was going on, what we charted what was going on.
00:25:20.000 But the committee can really get, you know, pop the hood and get them to take a look at the engine in a way that we never could.
00:25:25.000 So it's really exciting to watch.
00:25:27.000 So Peter, this $5 million payment, is that separate than the $83,000 a month from Burisma?
00:25:35.000 It apparently is.
00:25:36.000 We know that he got $83,000 a month, Hunter Biden, because we saw the Morgan Stanley financial records.
00:25:43.000 That totals about $1 million a year.
00:25:45.000 That's been known.
00:25:46.000 This $5 million is allegedly an additional amount on top of that.
00:25:51.000 So we know that the $83,000 a month went to the Morgan Stanley account.
00:25:57.000 The $5 million doesn't show up there.
00:25:59.000 But again, the Biden family is using a multitude of banks, and it will be very, very interesting to see where that money shows up.
00:26:08.000 There is also the possibility, Charlie, there are hints in the laptop about a possible offshore accounts.
00:26:16.000 So they may have been using financial institutions beyond the 12 that we know of.
00:26:21.000 And it may be very hard to actually trace this money.
00:26:24.000 So if you were to guesstimate based on everything that we have learned, let's say from the moment that Joe Biden became vice president, let's not even go before that, from 2009, January of 2009 to today, over 14 years, how much foreign money has the Biden family received?
00:26:42.000 We know that it's about 31 million from China.
00:26:47.000 We know that there is at least another $5 to $7 million from the Ukraine.
00:26:53.000 We know that there was $3.5 million from Russia.
00:26:56.000 That's Yelena Batarina.
00:26:59.000 And then we know that there were various other deals that they were working on.
00:27:03.000 But those are the ones we know of.
00:27:05.000 I think the numbers are actually higher because those are the ones that you actually see on the laptop.
00:27:12.000 The money gets transferred.
00:27:13.000 Here's my bank account.
00:27:14.000 Email comes back and says, we wired the money.
00:27:18.000 And then in the suspicious activity reports, these banking records that they've talked about on the committee confirm that money was sent.
00:27:25.000 So we're talking about, I would say, upwards of $50 million.
00:27:30.000 And, you know, let's remember again, Charlie, the Bidens don't have a business.
00:27:34.000 You know, people will sometimes say to me, well, what about Jared Kushner?
00:27:37.000 He's done deals in the Middle East.
00:27:39.000 You can raise questions about that.
00:27:41.000 But let's be clear.
00:27:41.000 That's fine.
00:27:42.000 The Cushners actually have a business.
00:27:45.000 They have these things called buildings.
00:27:47.000 They're in real estate.
00:27:48.000 You can argue the judgment of whether they should be doing deals with whoever.
00:27:52.000 But those are legitimate businesses that existed long before Donald Trump ran for office.
00:27:58.000 The Bidens are different.
00:28:00.000 This foreign business entity that they were collecting cash from started six months after Joe Biden became Vice President of the United States.
00:28:09.000 And all of the money Charlie comes from specific countries that Vice President Joe Biden was given responsibility for by Barack Obama.
00:28:19.000 They had no product and no services to sell.
00:28:22.000 This is ultimately about access.
00:28:25.000 And I would argue that it's all highly illegal.
00:28:28.000 Well, yeah, it's the world's oldest profession. 0.89
00:28:31.000 They prostituted themselves out. 1.00
00:28:33.000 That's what they were selling.
00:28:34.000 They sold themselves.
00:28:36.000 There wasn't any product or machine factory, or they weren't selling widgets or cars or real estate.
00:28:43.000 They weren't renting out condominiums.
00:28:47.000 They were selling themselves. 0.90
00:28:49.000 And Joe and Hunter Biden were political prostitutes for at least $50 million over the last 14 years. 0.79
00:28:56.000 Did it endanger national security?
00:28:59.000 Were there geopolitical decisions that were made because of these capital flows?
00:29:05.000 We have a word for that, and it rhymes with reason.
00:29:11.000 If there were to be indictments of Hunter Biden, what do you think they will be outside of this silly process stuff, you know, gun registration stuff, which doesn't interest me?
00:29:21.000 And are you seeing any trajectory or pattern of evidence that they might be taking Biden out?
00:29:30.000 Joe Biden.
00:29:31.000 Good question.
00:29:32.000 I think when it comes to Hunter Biden, there's certainly clear evidence for him to be indicted on tax evasion charges, which you're looking at multiple years in prison.
00:29:43.000 You certainly have failing to register as a foreign agent, which they have thrown other people into jail for doing.
00:29:49.000 Those are clear-cut.
00:29:50.000 I also think that you can get them on conspiracy charges, that he was taking foreign money and he was getting meetings and other favors for people in high office.
00:30:01.000 And there are multiple examples, by the way, of Hunter Biden being involved in specific deals that undermined American national security.
00:30:09.000 To the larger picture, where it comes to Joe Biden, I think these new revelations take it right to Joe Biden himself.
00:30:18.000 I think there was evidence before to show that he was part of Hunter's business model.
00:30:22.000 But if you indeed have evidence, which I think we now have, of money going straight to Joe Biden, Joe Biden has a serious problem.
00:30:30.000 What the Department of Justice does is one thing, but I do think, Charlie, that within Democratic circles, there are concerns about his age.
00:30:39.000 I think there are also concerns about this growing scandal.
00:30:42.000 I would not be surprised to see elements of the Democratic Party turn on him, and we'll have a situation where in the fall, the mainstream media has effectively turned on him, and that you see somebody like Gavin Newsom become the standard bearer because the Democrats want to win.
00:30:59.000 And I think with the age factor and with all of these scandals, they are concerned that Joe Biden is sinking pretty quickly in a pond and they want to find somebody else.
00:31:09.000 Yeah, and Gavin Newsom is doing offense.
00:31:12.000 He goes on the Hannity Show.
00:31:13.000 He does all that.
00:31:14.000 And he's got talent, no doubt.
00:31:16.000 Gavin Newsome is not your typical automaton.
00:31:18.000 He's no John Fetterman.
00:31:19.000 I mean, Gavin is an awful governor, but he is no John Fetterman.
00:31:23.000 The guy can play ball at the highest level.
00:31:27.000 You mentioned something interesting about internal Democrat circles maybe taking out Joe Biden. 1.00
00:31:32.000 The kind of white female liberal coronation super PAC, otherwise known as Emily's List, funded by sexless, you know, mid-50s something hedge fund wives, is running a bunch of ads for Cammie, Kamala Harris, out of nowhere. 1.00
00:31:47.000 Emily's List, which is the pro-abortion group, is coming in with tons of ads promoting Kamala Harris. 0.99
00:31:53.000 Is there a wink and a nod that might be trying to lay the foundation here?
00:31:53.000 It's very strange.
00:31:57.000 Peter, this indictment against Trump is so ridiculous, but is it possible that they're setting a standard now to also remove Biden? 0.64
00:32:04.000 It's conceivable. 0.50
00:32:06.000 And also, there are limitations, right?
00:32:08.000 It's possible that this dam breaks and the evidence gets to be so terrible against Joe Biden, it becomes indefensible that even this administrative state can't cover it up.
00:32:17.000 Is that right?
00:32:18.000 Yeah, I think so.
00:32:19.000 I mean, look, I still want to believe that there are standards, even those that would agree politically with Joe Biden, that they would say, like, look, this is enough is enough.
00:32:27.000 And again, we're not talking about, in Joe Biden's case, some kind of process crime or some, you know, we're talking about conduct when he was vice president of the United States with national security responsibilities, taking foreign money, not from France or Great Britain, which would be a problem, but from our major adversaries on the global stage.
00:32:47.000 And in my mind, we are quickly moving that direction.
00:32:51.000 And I think there is blood in the water.
00:32:53.000 The recent surveys, Harvard Harris poll recently did a survey.
00:32:57.000 67% of the American people believe that Joe Biden engaged in corrupt behavior when he was vice president because of his family's deals.
00:33:06.000 35% of Democrats agreed with that.
00:33:09.000 That's a pretty high number.
00:33:10.000 Among independents, it was up there also in the high 60s.
00:33:14.000 So this is finally, after all these years, despite the attempts to shut down the Hunter Biden laptop in the 2020 election, the truth is now starting to seep out.
00:33:24.000 And boy, I think they've got a real problem, the Democrats.
00:33:27.000 Yeah, I think so.
00:33:28.000 And I actually think Kamala Harris is far easier to beat than Joe Biden.
00:33:31.000 I mean, Joe Biden is, for all of his problems, older white voters in the West Valley of Phoenix.
00:33:40.000 The numbers show we're more comfortable voting for Joe Biden than even Barack Obama and certainly for Kamala Harris.
00:33:48.000 Okay, Peter Schweiser, thank you so much.
