When you think you can create money out of thin air, it sounds awfully similar to believing that you could change your gender at any time. When you believe that someone can change their gender, why not believe that money is wealth?

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, what does inflation have in common with the transgender issue?
00:00:06.000 Well, when you think you can create money out of thin air, it sounds awfully similar to believing that you could change your gender at any time.
00:00:14.000 We talk about that and then we're joined by John Solomon, who walks through in great detail some new incredible revelations regarding Hunter Biden and Joe Biden commingling of finances.

00:01:14.000 That's tpusa.com slash tour.
00:01:17.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:01:18.000 Here we go.
00:01:19.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:20.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:22.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:26.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:29.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:30.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:31.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:40.000 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.
00:01:48.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:51.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
00:01:54.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.
00:01:56.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:02:02.000 So one of the reasons why we take such a strong stance and opinion on the trans issue is it's an issue of reality.
00:02:10.000 You do not get to determine your own reality.
00:02:12.000 Do not get to all of a sudden say, I'm rich or I'm poor.
00:02:15.000 No, we actually have to look at some evidence of whether or not you're rich or poor.
00:02:18.000 Now, some of those are relative terms, rich according to who, rich according to what.
00:02:22.000 I understand that.
00:02:24.000 But relatively, some of the terms we use, short, tall, you can't just make them up.
00:02:29.000 You say, oh, wow, that person is taller than that person.
00:02:32.000 That person is faster than that person.
00:02:34.000 That person is stronger than that person.
00:02:36.000 And one of the reasons why we've been so insistent against this idea you can change your gender or change your sex or change both of them is that when you start to indulge in the belief that you could become whatever you want and reality is subjective, not objective, you're going to have ramifications that nobody anticipated or intended.
00:03:00.000 So there is a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue.
00:03:05.000 You say, Charlie, come on, they couldn't be further apart.
00:03:07.000 No, they're exactly the same.
00:03:08.000 They're the same in this aspect.
00:03:10.000 When you believe that men could become women, why wouldn't you also believe that you could print wealth?
00:03:15.000 If you believe that someone can change their gender, why wouldn't you also believe that money is wealth? 0.72
00:03:21.000 Now, there are very simple laws of economics, just like there's laws of nature, those laws of physics, laws of thermodynamics, laws of biology.
00:03:31.000 We must live according to those laws.
00:03:33.000 We believe there's a lawmaker and a designer.
00:03:36.000 And being Christians, we believe those laws were made to be followed for our flourishing and our prosperity.
00:03:42.000 The law is a teacher.
00:03:43.000 The law is a guide to how to properly live.
00:03:47.000 You live in defiance to the law.
00:03:49.000 You lie, steal, or cheat.
00:03:50.000 You actually won't flourish. 1.00
00:03:51.000 You'll be miserable. 0.96
00:03:52.000 You'll be unhappy. 0.96
00:03:53.000 You'll get further from God's wish for you.
00:03:56.000 Now, outside of the religious component of this, we also believe there are laws of economics.
00:04:02.000 There are laws of economics just like there are laws of physics.
00:04:05.000 Now, a phenomenal book that I encourage everyone to read before you ever weigh in on economic matters is Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.
00:04:14.000 It's phenomenal.
00:04:15.000 It's an easy read.
00:04:17.000 I think it's like 200 pages at most.
00:04:19.000 And it goes through some of the laws of economics.
00:04:22.000 One of them, and this is from Mises.org, M-I-S-E-S.org.
00:04:26.000 My only regret when we were in Auburn, Alabama is not stopping by the Mises Institute, was that, quote, money is not wealth.
00:04:33.000 The value of money consists in its purchasing power.
00:04:37.000 Money serves as an instrument of exchange.
00:04:40.000 The wealth of a person exists in its access to goods and services he desires.
00:04:44.000 The nation as a whole cannot increase its wealth by increasing its stock of money.
00:04:49.000 This is a law of economics.
00:04:51.000 You can't change it just because you want to.
00:04:54.000 The principle that only purchasing power means wealth says that Robinson Crusoe would not be a penny richer if he found a gold mine on his island or a case full of banknotes.
00:05:06.000 The point being, of course, if you start to indulge in these pathological ideas that you can create your own reality on gender, then that very same sort of ideology will infect your financial institutions.
00:05:20.000 And that's precisely what's happening.
00:05:22.000 Yesterday, it came out that inflation is minimum 10%.
00:05:26.000 Now, if you actually use the calculation and the tabulation from years past, inflation is upwards of 20 to 25%.
00:05:35.000 Money is nothing more than a means of exchange.
00:05:37.000 It's a holder of value.
00:05:39.000 Now, without having to overthink this, we don't need to go into a whole economics lesson.
00:05:44.000 Happy to do that.
00:05:45.000 At one point, I think it might be necessary for our leaders to do it.
00:05:48.000 If you increase the money supply and you do not have a correlated amount of increased production of value, then you're going to have more bills than value and people will get poorer.
00:06:00.000 We're seeing increases on gas and rent and food.
00:06:05.000 Cut 39, CNBC, Bidenflation is hot, hot, hot.
00:06:08.000 Highest month over month inflation rate since 2005.
00:06:11.000 Play Cut 39.
00:06:12.000 All right.
00:06:13.000 Well, the headline number comes in as expected.
00:06:16.000 Hot, hot, hot.
00:06:17.000 It up 1.2%.
00:06:19.000 Up 1.2%.
00:06:21.000 That means that's the highest month over month inflation rate since 2005.
00:06:26.000 That's Rick Santelli, it sounds like, who's narrating that on CNBC?
00:06:31.000 But I wouldn't expect anything less from an administration that believes that people who give birth, women, are birthing people.
00:06:39.000 That's what they put in their document.
00:06:41.000 I wouldn't expect anything less.
00:06:43.000 But instead, we have the same sort of insanity that's now perverting our gender ideology, which there shouldn't even be in gender ideology, now messing up and confusing what we are doing economically.
00:06:56.000 Janet Yellen, who is the Treasury Secretary, she wants to save the world. 0.91
00:07:02.000 And instead of actually talking about opening up America's oil and natural gas dominance, instead of talking about how we will unleash the American entrepreneur, Janet Yellen is saying, what we have to do is decarbonize our economy.
00:07:16.000 Play cut 70.
00:07:18.000 The recent IPCC reports confirm that our window of opportunity to leave our planet worthy of our children and our grandchildren is even closer to being permanently shut.
00:07:33.000 We must redouble our efforts to decarbonize our economies, recognizing that countries will use a range of tools, including carbon pricing, regulation, and subsidies, to achieve needed emission reductions.
00:07:50.000 Now, Biden is trying to say, well, look, the prices that are being increased, it's all Putin's fault.
00:07:55.000 When you lose NBC on a key prov the talking point issue, you have a major problem.
00:08:01.000 Play cut 65.
00:08:03.000 In Iowa, President Biden is saying he's boosting the sale and production of ethanol-blended gasoline as a way to alleviate pain at the pump.
00:08:11.000 And again, blaming Vladimir Putin's Ukraine invasion.
00:08:14.000 I'm doing everything within my power by executive orders to bring down the price and address the Putin price hike. 0.64
00:08:20.000 But in reality, inflation has been soaring above 5% for nearly a year.
00:08:25.000 And our latest NBC News poll shows just 6% of Americans blame rising prices on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
00:08:32.000 38% blame President Biden and his policies.
00:08:36.000 The increase of gas prices correlated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine is very little.
00:08:42.000 Very little.
00:08:43.000 And even NBC agrees.
00:08:45.000 So in order to fix what's happening economically, we're left with very few choices.
00:08:49.000 We have to raise interest rates immediately.
00:08:51.000 It's not going to happen.
00:08:53.000 The Fed doesn't want that.
00:08:54.000 It would bring us to a recession.
00:08:55.000 But guess what?
00:08:57.000 We're long overdue for a recession.
00:08:59.000 We just are.
00:09:00.000 Recessions, as it happens right now, the fact we have not had a recession in 14 years is unrealistic.
00:09:07.000 It just is.
00:09:08.000 Now, we had a short recession during the COVID lockdowns, but then we create all this money to try to prevent it, and we're on this non-stop sugar high.
00:09:16.000 Recessions are awful.
00:09:17.000 People go through misery.
00:09:20.000 Depression goes up.
00:09:21.000 Suicide goes up.
00:09:22.000 All that happens.
00:09:23.000 But what's even worse than a recession is a full-fledged economic collapse.
00:09:28.000 And that's where we're trending.
00:09:29.000 But the leaders in charge are talking about decarbonizing the economy while people can't afford to drive 100 or 200 miles outside of their city.
00:09:37.000 They can't even afford to drive to work anymore.
00:09:39.000 But it's the same ideology when you do not believe that there are certain laws that anchor you to reality and that you can overcome those laws with science, technology, or expertise.
00:09:51.000 Science, technology, and expertise are the three things that the left believes that they have access to that gives them the willpower or the ability to reconfigure society and with it, human nature.
00:10:04.000 We as conservatives do not believe that.
00:10:07.000 We believe that human nature is a constant.
00:10:11.000 Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
00:10:15.000 Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
00:10:21.000 Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
00:10:26.000 One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
00:10:31.000 Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
00:10:42.000 So PAX Financial is wonderful.
00:10:43.000 They share our values.
00:10:44.000 In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
00:10:51.000 Stop using the woke money managers.
00:10:54.000 PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
00:10:57.000 So if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.
00:11:08.000 That's Charlie at number 74868.
00:11:11.000 That's Charlie to number 74868.
00:11:14.000 So you just take out your phone, text the number 74868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX Biblical Responsible Investing.
00:11:24.000 Biblical responsible investing strategy, take out your phone, text Charlie to 74868.
00:11:31.000 They're about to manage some money for me.
00:11:33.000 I really think highly of PAX Financial.
00:11:35.000 Text Charlie to number 74868.
00:11:39.000 It's really incredible to see how reliant the regime is on censorship.
00:11:46.000 It makes you wonder how conservative would this country be if we did not have widespread censorship.
00:11:52.000 One of the best examples of this is Joy Reed, who you shouldn't really take her that seriously, but I'm going to take what she says seriously here for a very important reason because the sentiment is now how they're going to smear Elon Musk.
00:12:05.000 So Elon Musk goes and buys billions of dollars of shares worth of Twitter.
00:12:09.000 And then, of course, everyone has to go attack him automatically because that's what they do.
00:12:12.000 Oh, no, you're going to go buy shares of Twitter. 0.97
00:12:14.000 I must hate you. 0.98
00:12:15.000 Really?
00:12:15.000 I thought you guys were all into kind of like the go-to-Mars, like green energy stuff.
00:12:18.000 No, according to Joy Reed, he's racist.
00:12:21.000 PlayCut 59.
00:12:22.000 Fear not, right-wingers.
00:12:24.000 Another bro fascist is waiting in the wings to defend your right to spew bile online in the name of free speech. 0.69
00:12:30.000 And that is coming up next.
00:12:32.000 He is building in Tesla a documentedly racist company that perhaps reminds him, gives him nostalgic memories of apartheid South Africa where he grew up.
00:12:44.000 He's more than that, an embodiment of what I would say is Twitter's biggest strategic problem, which is a hostile, cruel, dangerous online environment, especially for women, especially for people of color, women of color in particular.
00:12:58.000 It's amazing.
00:13:00.000 I think, I mean, if you want to, this is what I love about this whole thing.
00:13:02.000 Of course, it's nonsense that Elon is racist. 0.99
00:13:04.000 It's ridiculous. 0.96
00:13:05.000 But you know, this is what I love about that segment. 0.83
00:13:07.000 Elon will see that.
00:13:08.000 If you want to radicalize the world's richest man, keep doing that, Joy Reid.
00:13:13.000 If you think the Koch brothers were bad, imagine Elon all of a sudden getting into politics.
00:13:17.000 He's got like $300 billion.
00:13:19.000 He could just buy MSNBC for sport.
00:13:22.000 He's nearly twice as rich as Bill Gates, the prior parent company of Microsoft, which, of course, where MSNBC came from.
00:13:29.000 But why?
00:13:30.000 Why the harsh reaction?
00:13:32.000 Well, you see this happening where now there's a day off offered to Twitter employees right now.
00:13:39.000 Twitter employees are being offered a day off right now because of all the stress that they are experiencing because of Elon Musk buying parts of Twitter.
00:13:49.000 It's this widely reported fear, and the Twitter workforce is saying, I need time off, I need space, saying that Elon Musk may endanger them or even end their systemic censorship regime.
00:14:02.000 It really does illustrate how central internet censorship plays to their aims and their ambitions.
00:14:09.000 Censorship is the whole deal.
00:14:11.000 If they are not able to censor you, well, then I don't know how much power these people would actually have.
00:14:20.000 Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
00:14:22.000 They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
00:14:26.000 Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
00:14:31.000 They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
00:14:37.000 He found the best towel company right here in America.
00:14:39.000 They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
00:14:43.000 They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a MyPillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
00:14:48.000 It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand towels, two washcloths made with USA cotton.
00:14:52.000 They're soft, yet absorbent.
00:14:53.000 Regularly, $100,999, not $39.99.

00:15:15.000 With us right now is the great John Solomon from Just the News.
00:15:18.000 He has a nightly show he does with Real America's Voice.
00:15:22.000 I catch it when I can.
00:15:23.000 It's always hard-hitting news.
00:15:25.000 And he's going to break some news with us today.
00:15:27.000 John, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:15:29.000 It is good to be with you, Charlie.
00:15:31.000 Congrats on everything you're doing.
00:15:33.000 Thank you.
00:15:33.000 Yeah, we are going to Berkeley tonight.
00:15:36.000 We were here last night.
00:15:37.000 John, you have some news.
00:15:39.000 We have some news to break about Hunter Biden.
00:15:41.000 The floor is yours.
00:15:42.000 Yeah, listen.
00:15:43.000 So we've been piecing together a couple of interesting dynamics.
00:15:46.000 And the first is shall break tonight.
00:15:49.000 And it will look at how Hunter Biden, while he was at the World Food Program, USA, which is a taxpayer-funded charity.
00:15:57.000 It's basically our government gives money to this charity.
00:16:00.000 This charity works with the UN to solve global hunger.
00:16:02.000 Hunter Biden was named a chairman of that charity for the entirety of his father's time in the Obama administration, so from 09 to 17.
00:16:10.000 He uses that to meet global leaders, and then he's trying to flip them to his private business.
00:16:16.000 And so we tell the story.
00:16:17.000 In fact, one of the most famous moments in the Biden family's corruption scandal is this CEFC communist Chinese energy company.
00:16:27.000 And we know what's happened right now.
00:16:29.000 We know Peter Schweitzer and Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassy put all this information out.
00:16:35.000 We wrote it about 18 months ago.
00:16:36.000 Now the Washington Post caught up to it and CBS caught up to it recently.
00:16:40.000 But we didn't know where it started.
00:16:41.000 And the first overture that occurs to Hunter Biden isn't about his business.
00:16:46.000 It's actually the owner of this company wants to make a large donation to the World Food Program.
00:16:51.000 And we're going to document how he takes that overture and he flips it into a business opportunity for one of his many corrupt foreign schemes.
00:16:58.000 And so taking advantage of a world food hunger program as a prospecting for your private greed, I think is going to catch people very sharply.
00:17:07.000 And you can really see how it went down.
00:17:09.000 The second story is, at the end of the day, what matters most to the American people is what did Joe Biden, the vice president, the president, get out of the corrupt relationships that Hunter Biden has had.
00:17:19.000 And Joe Biden has always tried to play it.
00:17:21.000 I didn't have much to do with it.
00:17:23.000 We are going to put into the public record tomorrow night evidence that Joe Biden was referring business to his son, referring leads to his son, that they commingled their finances from 2010 to 2019.
00:17:36.000 We're going to show you the emails where you can see the deals and who's paying for what and who's repaying who and who owes what between father and son.
00:17:46.000 It will no longer be possible for Joe Biden to say, I didn't know what was going on in Hunter Biden's world.
00:17:51.000 I didn't do anything about it.
00:17:53.000 We didn't have joint finances.
00:17:55.000 We're going to put all those records out.
00:17:56.000 We've spent almost six months putting this picture together.
00:18:00.000 And I'm really looking forward tomorrow night to giving that second story out there.
00:18:04.000 Wow.
00:18:05.000 And so let me ask you just kind of from a bigger picture perspective, why now?
00:18:10.000 Why is all of a sudden the legacy media and the regime media starting to cover a lot of this?
00:18:15.000 I'm awfully suspicious about this.
00:18:17.000 You've been doing this journalistic work for a while now.
00:18:21.000 Why now?
00:18:22.000 What's your read on this?
00:18:24.000 It seems awfully suspicious.
00:18:26.000 There are news organizations, big name, large, three-letter news agencies that have approached me in the last couple of weeks that two and a half years ago were calling me a conspiracy theorist and attacking me in the lead up to the impeachment scandal, which, by the way, all the issues in the impeachment scandal are these issues.
00:18:45.000 All that was going on in impeachment was to scare off people from figuring out that the Biden family had this influence peddling racket going within their family.
00:18:53.000 But those news organizations have come to me.
00:18:55.000 When you talk to them and you have private conversations, it is a CYA mission.
00:18:59.000 What they tell you is we were on the wrong side of this story, and we want to get on the right side of it before the shoe drops.
00:19:05.000 And I think the shoe drop is, will prosecutors charge Hunter Biden or others in the Biden arena with some form of criminality, whether it's taxes, foreign lobbying?
00:19:16.000 There is a lot of activity that reporters like myself can see at the grand jury.
00:19:20.000 I think this is predominantly an exercise in CYA to say, all right, yeah, we messed with the American public in 19 and 20, but we got right with it in the last few weeks.
00:19:30.000 And I think the op-ed in the Washington Post two weekends ago really laid bare the CYA mission, which is we had good reason to think this was all Russian disinformation, but now we don't.
00:19:40.000 So we're going to write about it now.
00:19:41.000 And I'm glad they're writing about it now because the public needs to know this.
00:19:45.000 But back in 2020, there wasn't a shred of evidence that what I was reporting, what was on the laptop, was Russian disinformation.
00:19:52.000 And that part of the story, they're not going to be able to get away with.
00:19:55.000 So, John, I want to zero in on something you said that was really interesting.
00:19:59.000 You said the term commingling of finances.
00:20:02.000 What does that mean to our audience?
00:20:04.000 Can this be proven?
00:20:06.000 Just try to make that really clear for some people listening because they're not as into the weeds here.
00:20:11.000 But commingling of finances, that's quite an accusation.
00:20:15.000 Yeah, well, it's actually in writing.
00:20:17.000 There are messages to Hunter Biden from his business associates, from his lawyers, in some cases directly from Joe Biden that clearly show that they're working together on some things.
00:20:28.000 And so, one example, I'll just give you one that's out there that I think people will be excited to see tomorrow night.
00:20:34.000 Joe Biden's Delaware tax refund from the year 2010.
00:20:38.000 He's vice president.
00:20:39.000 He's been in the office for more than a year as vice president.
00:20:42.000 For some reason, his Delaware tax refund check goes to Hunter Biden's business partner.
00:20:48.000 And then Hunter Biden's business partner said, I just got your dad's Delaware tax refund.
00:20:53.000 I'm going to deposit it into his account.
00:20:55.000 And then I'm going to write the exact amount out of his account and pay you because your dad, Joe Biden, owes you, Hunter Biden, that money.
00:21:03.000 That's how commingled these documents are going to show.
00:21:06.000 We're going to put that email out for people to see and read with their own hands.
00:21:10.000 These are their own eyes.
00:21:11.000 They're going to be able to touch the document, look at it.
00:21:14.000 Later in life, as Hunter Biden's life is spiraling out of control and Joe Biden's getting rid of, getting ready to go maybe run for president in 2020, the reverse happens.
00:21:24.000 There are very overt discussions about Joe Biden paying back or covering the costs and expenses and debts of Hunter Biden.
00:21:32.000 So a two-way street over a decade, and you're going to see one remarkable text message, one remarkable exchange that occurs while Joe Biden was vice president, we believe, where he's referring a business lead, someone who wants to do business with Hunter Biden, and the vice president sends that referral to Hunter Biden.
00:21:53.000 That's how commingled their business interests were, how commingled their finances were.
00:21:58.000 These are their documents.
00:21:59.000 They're not my documents.
00:22:00.000 These are Hunter Biden's documents.
00:22:02.000 I think people will be able to see them for what they are.
00:22:04.000 So, but let's zero in.
00:22:06.000 Let's answer the so what question.
00:22:08.000 Okay, so the media will say, all right, so what, John?
00:22:10.000 So what if they were commingling?
00:22:12.000 So answer that question.
00:22:13.000 Not only did Joe Biden lie about it, but what's the significance of it?
00:22:18.000 What does it mean from a criminal standpoint, but also from a policy standpoint where policy very well could have been changed because of these deals that were being done?
00:22:27.000 Listen, there's an affidavit by one of Hunter Biden's former business partners, a guy named Galanis.
00:22:34.000 He got convicted in the tribal fraud scheme that Hunter Biden wasn't accused of doing, but all the people around him were involved.
00:22:40.000 And in it, he says, this is in 2020.
00:22:42.000 He tells this to a federal appeals court under the penalty of perjury.
00:22:47.000 Here is what was going on, court.
00:22:49.000 Hunter Biden and Devin Archer were running an influence peddling scheme.
00:22:53.000 That's his words, not my words.
00:22:55.000 And they would take money from foreign folks, particularly oligarchs, and promise them access in Washington.
00:23:03.000 Now, that's a heck of an allegation to make.
00:23:05.000 You say, oh, this comes from a convicted guy.
00:23:07.000 So should we take it with a grain of salt?
00:23:09.000 Yes.
00:23:10.000 Until you see that what Hunter Biden actually did was exactly what the Galanis family says.
00:23:16.000 You see Joe Biden meeting with the Chinese business partner of Hunter Biden in 2013.
00:23:21.000 In 2015, a Russian oligarch, a Ukrainian oligarch, and some Kazakhstan oligarchs are scheduled to meet Joe Biden at a private restaurant.
00:23:32.000 So the access was delivered.
00:23:34.000 Joe Biden was delivering access to these clients of Hunter Biden.
00:23:38.000 Hunter Biden collects the money.
00:23:40.000 It goes into various accounts.
00:23:42.000 If Hunter Biden is covering some of Joe Biden's bills, like we're going to show, it is reasonable for the American public to say all of that foreign graft, all of that foreign business that Hunter Biden was doing, some of it brought benefit to his father, and his father did beneficial things for Hunter Biden to make that money.
00:23:59.000 He met with these shady characters at dinner in Beijing and other places.
00:24:04.000 So you begin to see that Hunter Biden makes his money this way.
00:24:08.000 Dad helps him make that money.
00:24:10.000 And then at least some of Dad's bills appear to be covered by Hunter Biden's finances coming from these foreign deals.
00:24:18.000 That doesn't even include the references like 10% for the big guy that Tony Bobolinski put in front of us for the 2017 China deal, which occurs after Joe Biden's left office.
00:24:29.000 These things we're talking about occur when Joe Biden is in office.
00:24:33.000 It's hard to keep all these straight.
00:24:34.000 There's now the Biden Center that shows that tens of millions of dollars float in from Chinese nationals and CCP affiliated groups.
00:24:41.000 That's a whole new development that hasn't been focused on.
00:24:44.000 There's the brother, there's the Ukraine, there's the mayor of Moscow's wife, there's Burisma, $83,000 a month.
00:24:51.000 There's the Devin Archer stuff.
00:24:52.000 It's hard to even keep this stuff straight.
00:24:54.000 So in just two minutes remaining in this segment, John, I want to ask you, what were they thinking when they were doing this?
00:25:02.000 I mean, the cliché answer, which might be the right answer, is they just thought they were above the law.
00:25:06.000 They could do whatever they wanted to do.
00:25:08.000 Is it that simple?
00:25:10.000 Or, I mean, they just started criminal activity.
00:25:14.000 It's unbelievable.
00:25:15.000 You see in some of the planning that Hunter Biden does.
00:25:18.000 And by the way, don't buy the idea that he's a hapless drug addict.
00:25:20.000 Yes, he was a drug addict. 0.99
00:25:21.000 Yes, he was a sex addict. 0.99
00:25:23.000 He knew what he was doing. 0.85
00:25:24.000 He's very cognizant of the strategy.
00:25:26.000 When they're looking at the Burisma deal in the spring of 2014, it's right as Ukraine has been attacked by Russia in Crimea and there's been an overthrow of the Ukrainian elected government.
00:25:37.000 A new government's coming in.
00:25:39.000 Hunter Biden wants to get the deal announced.
00:25:42.000 He wants to make sure Burisma's hiring before his father makes his first visit to Ukraine.
00:25:48.000 And then as his father's making the first visit in Ukraine, Hunter Biden claims in his emails he got his father to say something in the speech that would benefit Burisma.
00:25:57.000 He calls for expanded gas exploration in Ukraine.
00:26:01.000 They were using Joe Biden's vice presidential schedule, his policy calendar, and figuring out in real time how they could cash in on it.
00:26:10.000 It is much more venal in operation than just trading on the name.
00:26:15.000 They were using Joe Biden's calendar to figure out who in the world they could squeeze to make money on because they would be beholden to Joe Biden in the window where the pitch was occurring.
00:26:25.000 So in the next segment, John, I want to ask you if there's evidence, and you might have alluded to this before in some of our other conversations prior to this, of policy changes, of things that actually impacted the whole country, not just access, not just the kind of carve-outs here and there.
00:26:41.000 But let's, for example, going softer on China correlated with these business dealings.
00:26:47.000 So, John, I want to kind of dive into this a little bit in the final segment here.
00:26:52.000 Is there any evidence that we could connect?
00:26:54.000 I know it's a difficult thing to prove, that U.S. foreign policy or domestic policy was changed or altered because of a business deal that Joe and Hunter Biden executed.
00:27:06.000 Yeah, listen, I don't think so.
00:27:08.000 I think we can say something because the State Department now has acknowledged it and given me this document, that there was an initiative by the United States government that was completely obliterated or undercut, that's the word in the document, by Hunter Biden.
00:27:22.000 What was that?
00:27:24.000 Joe Biden and the Obama administration were trying to tell Ukraine to stop being corrupt, stop doing corrupt deals.
00:27:30.000 And Hunter Biden was doing business with a corrupt company in, or a company that the State Department deemed corrupt called Burisma.
00:27:37.000 And at the end of that whole episode, as the Obama-Biden team is taping up their boxes to leave the White House in December of 2016, George Kent, the star witness at the impeachment trial, the guy who wore that bow tie, remember?
00:27:51.000 He was the Democrats' darling at that hearing.
00:27:53.000 He writes a letter that was classified, so we couldn't get it for four years, in which he says somebody should tell Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, undercut all of our anti-corruption activities in Ukraine, all of them.
00:28:06.000 That is a significant declaration.
00:28:08.000 By the way, it's contrary to what was testified to at the impeachment trial.
00:28:13.000 But we can definitely say there was a belief in the State Department that Hunter Biden undercut the ability of the United States to solve the corruption problem in Ukraine.
00:28:21.000 I have not seen a policy change yet.
00:28:24.000 I'm working on something.
00:28:25.000 There's always been this dispute.
00:28:28.000 Why did Joe Biden fire the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma? 0.89
00:28:33.000 And Joe Biden's story is everybody in the world agreed that this guy was crooked and corrupt.
00:28:39.000 And so we all went in and we did it.
00:28:41.000 It had nothing to do with Burisma.
00:28:43.000 We are putting together documents that we just obtained under litigation that seems to run against that story.
00:28:49.000 The timetable laid out in impeachment is not matching up with the documents.
00:28:54.000 In fact, the documents directly contradict some of the testimony at impeachment.
00:28:58.000 We're not ready to reveal that yet, but I think that's an area.
00:29:01.000 If someone was fired for some reason other than U.S. interest, that could become the first real example.
00:29:08.000 But we're not there yet.
00:29:09.000 Most of the other deals, how do you know?
00:29:11.000 Obama was easy on China without Joe Biden.
00:29:13.000 So you really don't know how these other policies were changed.
00:29:18.000 But at this point, it is clear the Biden family got rich off the Biden family name in foreign policy circles.
00:29:24.000 That alone should concern Americans gravely.
00:29:27.000 Well, yeah, and I mean, it might be impossible to prove one day, but it certainly, you know, at least for my own personal opinion, makes me, leads me that every major decision in the back of their head, they're wondering, boy, they invested in my company.
00:29:42.000 You know, they also invested in my son's company.
00:29:45.000 It certainly doesn't help the argument that they're making decisions independent and in the best interest of the American people, especially when it comes to the Chinese Communist Party, because the Chinese Communist Party brags that they engage in elite capture, that they capture the elites of countries, they invest in their businesses.
00:30:04.000 And so from the Chinese side, we can probably prove it better, but not in a court of law. 0.63
00:30:08.000 So finally, John, we have like 90 seconds.
00:30:10.000 I just want to just kind of relish and enjoy this.
00:30:13.000 CNN Plus is cratering.
00:30:15.000 Just the news is ascending.
00:30:17.000 Just talk about in 60 seconds how new media is changing the way people are consuming information.
00:30:23.000 Well, listen, when you've been crying wolf for a long time and you keep being repeatedly wrong, you're going to erode your audience.
00:30:29.000 And that's what CNN did.
00:30:30.000 CNN was one of the greatest purveyors of the Alpha Bank bogus story that Donald Trump had a secret channel to the Kremlin through Alpha Bank.
00:30:38.000 We now know that story to be completely not only destroyed from credibility, it was concocted by Hillary Clinton's campaign because that's what John Durham has unraveled.
00:30:49.000 The longer journalists continue to get stories continually wrong, the longer we, the new media, get them right, the more likely audiences shifting to people who are right and abandoning those who are wrong.
00:31:01.000 I don't think CNN's story is any more complicated than that.
00:31:04.000 They were wrong so many times.
00:31:06.000 People are leaving them.
00:31:07.000 And putting Chris Wallace, who, by the way, often was wrong at Fox News, doesn't solve the problem.
00:31:12.000 Not at all.
00:31:13.000 But Justin News is doing very well.
