Glenn Beck takes aim at Adam Schiff and says he's a Liar. Glenn also discusses the growing problem of home title theft and how the FBI is ignoring it. And he calls out the media for not covering it enough.
00:17:19.460Because the consequence of something being taken out of context, twisted, even if you know you're innocent, something with these dirt bags, you know, could come out.
00:17:31.360Now, let me talk to you about the Democratic point of view and then the American point of view in one minute.
00:21:39.260Yesterday, Chuck Schumer got up and gave this impassioned speech on how we were told these were going to be the 1990, 1999 rules of impeachment under Clinton.
00:21:48.120Listen, these rules, they're well established.
00:21:51.240And what he wants to do is he wants to change it from three days of testimony to two days of testimony, which will mean there are 12 hour work days.
00:22:42.560And he has a whole new set of reasons why the rules that he was just saying he expected and would have been fair, why those are now unfair and need an update.
00:29:22.620Okay, let me just take you way into a time machine all the way back to Monday and what the press was saying about people who were asking for their Second Amendment guaranteed right to be respected.
00:29:39.320They called them terrorist revolutionaries, white supremacists, Nazis, crazies, ready on the edge, ready to shoot people.
00:29:49.980Not only were they wrong about all of that stuff, it was wildly peaceful.
00:29:56.540There was, excuse me, was probably the biggest catchphrase that came out of that rally.
00:30:04.580They even, there's a story today where they actually went and they cleaned up after themselves.
00:30:10.000And the media has been on this with anybody who was on the right for the last decade plus.
00:30:17.020That we're all crazy revolutionaries that are just going to shoot everybody.
00:30:21.540That we're going to overthrow the, we want a revolution.
00:34:03.700You had a shooter go out who was a low-level staffer, and now you have two low-level staffers working for you that are saying exactly the same kind of thing.
00:34:16.500And at best, let's just take and say they were both joking, which they were not.
00:35:15.260And no matter what the press says, you don't care about political people being killed.
00:35:23.080You don't care about words leading to violence, because you have two concrete examples coming from an organization that has already spawned one killer, and you do nothing.
00:36:31.860And in theory, like, it's easy to come on here and just, you know, every time there's a bad story about some Bernie Sanders staffer, we could talk about it.
00:36:42.100Because, you know, that could happen, right?
00:36:43.960You could have a crazy person in your organization.
00:36:46.160The fact that they're still in the organization, and the media is not trying to get answers as to why these people are still in the organization.
00:39:03.900You wake up in the morning, stretch your arms in the narrow beams of sunlight raking through your window, and you greet the day, and then you look up at the calendar.
00:44:32.340If half of what he says about Joe Biden is true, he has to be the most corrupt ever in office.
00:44:39.120But if all of it is true, we are looking at one of the biggest robberies and one of the biggest thieves of American money, possibly in our nation's history.
00:44:54.700We go there with Peter Schweitzer next.
00:48:03.700And he has just set up a company called Hillstone International, which wants to get into the construction business.
00:48:10.520So he has this meeting in Biden's office.
00:48:12.860We don't know what was discussed, obviously.
00:48:15.160Three weeks later, Hillstone International announces that James Biden, Joe Biden's brother, is the new executive vice president of the company.
00:48:24.700Now, what's interesting about this, Glenn, is, as we found with Hunter and his deals, James Biden has no experience or background in construction.
00:48:38.700What happens next over the next six months is Hillstone International, this new company with Joe Biden's brother as the new executive vice president, starts landing big contracts from the federal government.
00:48:50.540They get a contract to build 100,000 homes in Iraq.
00:48:54.560It's part of a $35 billion reconstruction deal in Iraq.
00:49:17.540You know, in fact, when when the executives put up his biography on the company website, they described that he had, in their words, a unique ability to deal with government officials and then noted, of course, who his brother was, the vice president of the United States.
00:49:32.400But that was the first contract they got.
00:49:35.460They got a contract to do reconstruction work for the U.S. State Department and others.
00:49:41.120And again, as always, is the problem with this stuff, Glenn, because of the way this corruption is handled.
00:49:47.020We don't know how much James Biden made.
00:49:49.500I'm sure he made a lot of money doing this.
00:49:52.000He's not going to be cheap in this kind of arrangement.
00:49:54.080But it's the kind of sweetheart deal that you find repeated over and over again with five family members during the time that Joe Biden is president.
00:50:02.380And, Glenn, I've been on your show numerous times.
00:50:04.940We've talked about corrupt Democrats, corrupt Republicans.
00:50:08.960Being honest with you, I have never, ever, ever seen a situation with a politician that has five family members that were basically bagging money while they were in office.
00:50:20.340Give me the give me the worst offender and then tell me about the other family members.
00:50:36.660You know, Hunter, we talked before about Rosemont Seneca, the deal that he had in China.
00:50:42.580And we've talked about the deal he had in Ukraine.
00:50:44.680He had another entity called Burnham that he set up with his business partner, Devin Archer.
00:50:52.340And we know now from court documents and cases that they were, by their account, taking in hundreds of millions of dollars from Kazakhs, Russians, and Chinese investors.
00:51:02.940Again, all of this happening while Joe Biden was vice president.
00:51:06.060It didn't happen before he was vice president.
00:51:08.640It hasn't happened since he's been vice president.
00:51:10.920So we can all draw our conclusions about what that money was for.
00:51:14.840But, for example, they talk in corporate records about a $200 million deal done with somebody named Yelena Batterina.
00:51:26.000Now, if you go on Google and look up Yelena Batterina, it'll take you five, ten minutes to discover that this Russian oligarch is widely believed around the Western world to be tied to Russian organized crime.
00:51:37.920So these are the sorts of deals that Hunter Biden was doing.
00:51:42.020We've got instances of his other brother, Frank, doing deals in Costa Rica and in Jamaica involved in projects that are getting taxpayer-backed loans.
00:51:57.080Here's a guy who has, you know, again, jack of all trades.
00:52:01.280Every member of this family is super entrepreneurial.
00:52:03.840He goes to Costa Rica and he gets all these government-backed loans to start this, you know, almost like this, you know, super rich community building houses and golf courses and spas and everything else.
00:52:43.380Again, these are solar companies or real estate companies that he started after his brother became vice president.
00:52:50.140In the case of Costa Rica, you know, it's very, very clear.
00:52:53.420Joe Biden flies down to Costa Rica in the spring of 2009, really the first president or vice president to be in that country since Bill Clinton went 11 years earlier.
00:53:03.480So this is a big deal to the Costa Ricans.
00:53:05.740And Joe goes there and talks about bringing all sorts of U.S. government aid and we're going to help the Costa Ricans and all these things.
00:53:12.040Well, in the months that follows, his brother Frank is suddenly in Costa Rica and he's meeting with the president of Costa Rica.
00:53:19.740He's meeting with the education commissioner.
00:53:21.620He's meeting with all these government officials.
00:53:23.640He gets letters of support for this real estate project that he wants to develop.
00:53:28.540He gets these exclusive agreements with the Costa Rican National Energy Company.
00:53:34.160And again, this is a guy who has no background in any of this.
00:53:37.360In Jamaica, you have a solar project that's developed.
00:53:41.000He sets up a company called Sun Fund Americas that gets the power purchase agreement.
00:53:46.600And the project is supported with a $47 million Obama-Biden administration taxpayer-backed loan.
00:53:55.780And again, he has no background in solar energy.
00:54:23.180I mean, one of the things we talk about in the book, in using the words of people around Joe Biden and his family members, the Biden political operation is a very close-run thing.
00:54:33.840It basically circles around the family and a few other aides.
00:54:37.520You know, when he ran for president, his sister, Valerie Biden, was his campaign manager.
00:54:43.540We actually talk about her in the book as well, Glenn, how she was running Joe Biden's campaign, and she funneled $2.5 million from his campaigns into her own consulting firm.
00:54:54.120But, you know, to answer your question, I think a lot of this stuff is going to come as a surprise.
00:54:59.500The Bidens always talk about the importance of family.
00:55:02.460And, look, I believe that's a great virtue.
00:55:05.240But when you use it to self-enrich your family, you're not talking about family values.
00:55:10.120You're talking about mafia-like operations.
00:55:12.980And that's precisely what they've done.
00:55:27.960So do you take away from your research on the Bidens?
00:55:33.020Is Joe Biden a good parent like Lori Loughlin is, that, you know, she does really bad things, but she's doing it for the love of her daughter?
00:55:41.280Or is he more of a Logan Roy and Hunter is kind of Kendall Roy?
00:55:48.140I don't know if you watch The Succession on HBO, but which is it?
00:55:57.260It's always hard to get into the mind of people.
00:56:00.260You know, we are all about follow the money and paper trail.
00:56:03.140I think that Joe Biden, you know, takes fact, takes pride in the fact that he is a powerful man.
00:56:09.920I mean, I'll just give you a small illustration of what I mean.
00:56:12.600I mean, Joe Biden has said for years that he is the Amtrak senator and he's just regular Joe and he gets on Amtrak and he rides Amtrak, you know, all the time.
00:56:21.340And it makes him a regular guy, which everybody has heard that story.
00:56:25.240Well, we looked into this and we actually found local Delaware press accounts.
00:56:29.160The other side of that story, yes, Joe Biden did ride Amtrak all the time.
00:57:15.540I mean, it's certainly, when you look at all of it, it's in the tens of millions in terms of, I think, actually to them over the course of years.
00:59:02.020And yet there seems to be zero curiosity and interest by people in Washington, D.C. for this kind of conduct.
00:59:09.000Because it seems like many of them are involved in in the get rich quick schemes that comes with their their office, including people like Bernie Sanders.
00:59:20.920We'll continue our conversation here in just a second.
00:59:23.340The name of the book is Profiles in Corruption by Peter Swiser.
00:59:27.680And it is not it's it's so well written.
00:59:32.180He's a good storyteller, but it is not something that is light.
00:59:35.100The last over 100 pages are fine print footnotes.
00:59:40.120So you could go look it all up yourself.
01:00:28.760If you take 10 minutes out of your day today, you could get a free mortgage review from the good people over at American Financing and learn about refinancing your debt into your mortgage.
01:00:39.360Maybe it's not right for you, but it's right for a lot of people and their clients.
01:00:43.620Even if you even if you bought your house in 2018, a refi can save you hundreds of dollars a month.
01:00:49.920Some people are saving, you know, $1,000, $1,500 a month.
01:00:53.140Please just check this out and get rid of that debt.
01:00:56.620American Financing, family owned and operated salary based mortgage consultants that work for you and not the bank.
01:01:02.240Just make that phone call at 800-906-2440.
01:01:05.460It's 800-906-2440 or American Financing dot net.
01:01:41.500And you have taken all of the front runners of the Democratic Party and shown where they are really corrupt and dirty.
01:01:50.100Let's go to Bernie Sanders because people think, oh, no, he's for the little people, although he was a little person and now he's worth millions of dollars.
01:01:58.600How does that happen in Congress as a public servant?
01:02:01.300But let's let's spend a few minutes on Bernie Sanders.
01:02:06.140You know, Bernie Sanders is an interesting case because Bernie Sanders really since the 1970s has railed against millionaires and billionaires in politics.
01:02:15.620And he used that phrase for about 37 years.
01:02:20.340And then he stopped using that phrase.
01:02:22.740He said he was only concerned about billionaires in politics because he's now become a millionaire.
01:02:28.220And it's been an interesting path to how he's done it.
01:02:31.660The first thing that emerges, I mean, the Bernie Sanders chapter in the book is probably 40 pages long, something like that.
01:02:37.640And, you know, what you find is from the earliest days when he was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, one of the first things he did was put his girlfriend, later wife, Jane, on the payroll.
01:02:49.760Now, the city council never authorized this.
01:02:51.900He created a position that was not funded.
01:02:59.680And from that point forward, there has been a strategy by him to use his government positions, to use campaign funds, to use other resources to enrich his family.
01:03:09.160So when he started running for Congress, he discovered this loophole that other people in Washington, D.C. have learned, which involves media buys.
01:03:18.460So, Glenn, if you were running for senator of Texas, and I was the media buyer for your campaign, and you spent a million dollars on television ads, I would basically take a 15 percent fee or commission for placing those ads.
01:03:51.120And it's hard to know exactly how much money they made.
01:03:53.940But if you follow some of the money in paper trail, it's at least $150,000 while he was in Congress.
01:04:01.720The big payday on this for someone, we don't know yet, but we have our suspicions, came when Bernie Sanders ran for president of the United States in 2016.
01:04:10.640Now, he spent $83 million on media buys.
01:04:23.640Well, we don't really know because that $83 million went through a company called Old Town Media, which is registered to a private residential home on a cul-de-sac in Virginia.
01:04:34.960Oh, my gosh. Hang on just a second. There's more on this and other with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, all of them with Peter Swiser.
01:07:08.980Okay, so we were talking about Bernie Sanders, and you were starting to tell the story about this $80 or $85 million campaign that was on television and ad buying, the last campaign.
01:07:23.380You don't know who was doing the buying for that, but that's 15% of that money went to that person.
01:07:32.860It still could be his wife, I would imagine.
01:07:34.660Well, yes, the home, so this, of course, went through Old Town Media, which was just set up in a home in suburban Virginia, was linked to two former aides that were friends of Jane's that were involved in the media buys before.
01:07:49.960Now, Jane Sanders was actually asked by a Vermont reporter, a progressive, about this during the 2016 campaign.
01:07:57.820What did she know about Old Town Media?
01:08:01.520Her answer, Glenn, was she hung up the phone.
01:08:03.540So, you know, we don't know, but what we do know is there's been this pattern with the Sanders family in the past.
01:08:11.460You know, again, when Bernie Sanders was running for Congress, Jane Sanders and her kids actually set up a company called Sanders Media, through which they became a contractor for his campaign.
01:08:27.900And the final piece to this media buying campaign is after that 2016 loss, what Bernie did was he set up this 501c4 political action group to sort of carry on the revolution.
01:08:41.780And when it was announced that basically that company or sorry, that entity was going to engage in massive media buying, half a dozen of the staffers of that group quit in protest because they said, this is not what we signed up for.
01:08:59.160We thought this was going to be a grassroots campaign, and all this is going to do is make media buyers wealthy.
01:09:06.360And because the disclosure laws do not require you to disclose who's actually getting the commissions for the media buys, we just simply don't know.
01:09:43.080He only dislikes certain rich people, those that agree with him and support his activities he's very supportive of.
01:09:48.580But basically what happens is Burlington College can't make the payments.
01:09:53.500To pay for this loan that they've taken out to expand.
01:09:57.460Part of the problem is that Jane Sanders, as president of the college, funnels about half a million dollars of the college's money to her daughter's woodworking school, which is unaccredited.
01:10:10.640It's unclear whether the college committee or leadership even approved that transaction.
01:10:19.080And there's been a lot of scandal around it because the claims are that Jane Sanders made a lot of claims about money that was promised to the college to make this happen.
01:10:28.560When investigators, including the FBI, went and met with those individuals, they said, no, I never made that pledge.
01:10:34.440So there have been allegations that there were fraud on these applications to get the bank loans to begin with.
01:10:40.400What do you think his supporters do if they would ever, you know, pick up your book and read this?
01:10:46.400Do you think, I mean, you know, I think these young kids, they believe it.
01:10:50.800And they believe he's just an old fart that has been saying these things.
01:10:54.380And he believes that at least he's honest.
01:10:56.140And when you look at the corruption, I mean, it's the way the Soviet Union works.
01:11:02.160I mean, you know, or used to work where you, you know, if you're part of the political elite, you get a special lane on the highway.
01:11:11.080What do you think his his deep supporters would think of what you outline in the book?
01:11:18.400Well, I think they would be shocked if they looked at it.
01:11:21.260Now, what I would say to them, even if you don't want to buy the book, what I would encourage Bernie Sanders supporters to do is look at his rhetoric where he says he's a socialist.
01:12:01.980They had stock in pharmaceutical companies, chemical companies.
01:12:05.040There is a yawning gap between how Bernie Sanders thinks we should live our lives and the way that he and his wife actually live their life.
01:12:12.720Elizabeth Warren, in your book, Profiles of Corruption.
01:12:30.780A lot of people don't realize in the mid-1990s, Elizabeth Warren was hired by Congress and paid by taxpayers to rewrite a portion of corporate bankruptcy law.
01:13:09.080She got huge paydays from companies like Dow Chemical, Armstrong Worldwide, companies that were having problems with, you know, litigation involving asbestos and breast implants,
01:13:43.140And Amelia had helped start a company called BTG in 2007.
01:13:48.400And BTG was looking for capital and was looking for advisors to help this business really go.
01:13:55.820Well, Elizabeth Warren, if you remember in 2008, is selected by Congress by Harry Reid to be the chairman of the Oversight Committee for TARP.
01:14:04.960TARP was the committee that was sending out huge sums of money bailing out Wall Street firms.
01:14:10.820And Elizabeth Warren becomes the chairman of that Oversight Committee.
01:14:14.400When she meets with Harry Reid, her daughter, Amelia, actually comes with her to the meeting.
01:14:31.860In the six to eight months following Elizabeth Warren's appointment to the TARP Oversight Committee, two things happen.
01:14:38.660TARP bails out major Wall Street investment firms.
01:14:42.500During the same period, her daughter's new company gets new investors and new advisors from the same firms that are being bailed out by TARP.
01:14:51.940What you find is that when Elizabeth Warren joins the United States Senate, this company, BTG, actually starts taking on government clients, entities like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that Elizabeth Warren is pushing legislation for, for greater government funding.
01:15:12.120So that's the second layer of the cake.
01:15:14.140The final one, which I think is probably the most troubling, involves her son-in-law, Sushil Tiyagi, a very, very bright guy, came over from India, met Elizabeth Warren's daughter at Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania.
01:15:33.000But he has one entity called Tricolor Films that he started.
01:15:37.200He's taken down the website, but on the website, which we were able to recover, it talks about their business model is making films that are funded and in partnership with foreign governments, which is certainly a unique business model.
01:16:07.980The son-in-law is the only – the sole producer on this film.
01:16:12.080And the financiers are these Iranian government agencies.
01:16:16.080These Iranian government agencies, by the way, also fund and participate in things like Al-Quds Day, which is a very anti-Semitic celebration in Iran.
01:16:26.740It's the mourning of the loss of Jerusalem and the vow to get it back by blood.
01:16:35.300Well, the same government entities that financed his film also are very active in Al-Quds Day.
01:16:41.680In the film credits, one of the entities that they give credit and thanks to is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Air Force.
01:16:53.400I don't know what their participation was in the film, but this, to me, speaks of a willingness to work with some really, really, really nasty people around the world.
01:17:04.320And that's something that I think, again, we need to have more information on.
01:17:09.380You know, he talks about working with foreign governments.
01:17:11.480Did he work with other governments on films?
01:17:13.500That's, I think, a legitimate question that people should ask.
01:17:16.200You know, when I was looking into Ukraine, I see that a lot of people are doing what the, you know, Bidens were doing over in Ukraine to one degree or another.
01:17:52.440I think the problem is right now, as you correctly point out, is this is a bipartisan problem.
01:17:58.520And whenever there's an opportunity for both political sides for people to make money, you're going to have a hard time getting a consensus because you have very good people that are honest and want to have this go away.
01:18:10.460And they are actually in both political parties.
01:18:12.800But you also have more powerful people generally in both political parties that either wink and nod or actually participate in this kind of corruption.
01:18:22.480The only thing that they understand, Glenn, is exposure and embarrassment and shame.
01:18:30.140That's the only thing that leads them.
01:18:32.120You know, we I wrote a book back in 2011 on insider trading by members of Congress on the stock market.
01:19:11.700We have a binary situation and people do not want to call out somebody on their own side because they think somehow it's going to lead to the collapse of their side.
01:19:23.780And what I just tell people is nobody is irreplaceable.
01:19:27.520If you are a a a, you know, Democrat and you hate Donald Trump, Joe Biden is not your savior.
01:19:35.220There are other people that can that can perform that duty.
01:19:38.480I would say the same thing to Republicans, Republicans that are, you know, officials that are corrupt.
01:19:43.000There are other people, good people that can take their place.
01:19:46.100So I just urge everybody never fall into the trap of saying I'm going to accept whatever any thing that this individual does, because we're afraid of losing them, because there are other people that can step up and take those.

01:25:15.920Bernie Sanders wins in Iowa, which I don't think will happen.
01:25:20.120And write this down because I want to talk about it tomorrow.
01:25:22.480Why Bernie Sanders, I think, will not win in Iowa.
01:25:26.660What's really going to happen on tomorrow's program.
01:25:31.100If he wins, you're going to see the Democratic knives coming out for that guy because they're making their move against the Democratic Party.
01:26:49.600So Steve Dace, who is on Blaze Radio and TV right after this program every day, he said that he believes it's highly possible that Bernie Sanders is going to get the nod for the Democratic primaries.
01:27:02.920Now, I think it's going to be a brokered convention.
01:27:04.540But, you know, it's possible that that happens.
01:27:08.800If that's true, if he becomes the primary competitor against Donald Trump, you are going to see a stock market crash.
01:27:20.040If he actually would become president, he or I think Elizabeth Warren, but definitely Sanders.
01:27:26.560We will go into a depression, which is weird because it could accelerate Bernie into office because everybody would blame it on Trump.
01:27:35.700But it would be the stock market and business people freaking out.
01:29:12.980If you are a longtime listener of this program, you know how I feel about Ilan Omar.
01:29:25.540And it has nothing to do with her heritage or her religion.
01:29:29.980It has everything to do with who she is, how she got here, the marriage of her brother, all of this stuff.
01:29:38.860The coziness with the Attorney General Keith Ellison in Minnesota and what I think is being done in Minnesota to the good immigrants that are coming from hell holes and now afraid to speak out in their own neighborhoods because nothing's changed.
01:30:02.740It's the same people running their neighborhoods that were running their country in some cases.
01:30:08.780Now, what are you going to do about it?
01:31:12.760So, Dahlia, you're running in Minnesota against somebody who is connected to the power, who has gotten away with a whole bunch of stuff, and in a society that I can't imagine looks on a Republican fondly.
01:39:08.840The community, they don't want to sit in their houses and waiting for handouts.
01:39:17.160They have educated people, that they have hardworking people, that they need to improve their lives, not waiting for Ilhan to throw them a bone here or throw them a bone there.
01:39:34.620And that's – that I would blame them a bit on the – not a bit, a lot on the mainstream media, because they do not portray the residents of the district.
01:39:47.620As well as you have more liberals there than any – probably in any other state, I mean, in any other district, which makes my work hard.
01:39:58.920But these people as well want a better life.
01:40:05.280We have – in the district, we have an extremely important issue, which is security and safety.
01:40:14.480The streets of this district is not safe anymore.
01:40:18.800People are worried to send their kids to school.
01:41:55.720We'll have more of a conversation later at 5 o'clock, and I want to kind of get into some of the Ilhan Omar stuff with her.
01:42:03.440Zip Recruiter, Larry over in accounting, decided that it would be a great day to cook rainbow trout in the microwave, and four of your employees are about to quit because now everything smells like fish.
01:42:17.640The bad part, the one who doesn't want to quit, is Larry.
01:44:24.820And I've been around the Pope, and the thoughts of, I've got to get back home and have some sex just doesn't.
01:44:35.640I believe, though, there's an encouragement to have a large family, right?
01:44:40.000I mean, that's kind of part of the traditions, I would say, of Catholicism.
01:44:44.200Well, what they're finding now is that he is birth control.
01:44:49.580Okay, so when he goes in, this is according to the Irish Post, a study from the University of Brighton found that when he goes in to a place, and he talks to people, abortion rates decline up to a fifth in the 14 months following a visit from him.
01:49:17.260I got to get to the big controversy that is happening on the Senate floor right now.
01:49:23.460It is, oh, man, one of these rules, one of these new rules that the Republicans just won't let go of.
01:49:33.480And how are you going to get a fair trial?
01:49:34.840I'll explain that rule here in just a second.
01:49:37.700First, I want to go to David Steinberg.
01:49:39.260He is an investigative reporter, and he has been on the Ilan Omar story, and we wanted to give a highlight to a story that he wrote on The Blaze.
01:49:53.580Finally, the feds, including ICE, appear to be investigating Ilan Omar.
01:50:00.080Can you give me—oh, wait, we need the Ilan Omar theme.
01:51:11.180Well, last year in mid-October, it actually, by coincidence, it was the same day that Donald Trump was in Minnesota giving a stump speech.
01:51:23.640Steve Drazkowski, who is the state rep in Minnesota, who has been the only person over there trying to get some accountability, he had made a complaint to the Minnesota branch of the Department of Justice, the U.S. attorney, saying, for goodness sakes, somebody has to look into her past.
01:51:47.260And there's just an overwhelming amount of evidence here, and surprisingly, he got a response.
01:51:54.840How sad is that, that you have to say?
01:51:58.240And surprisingly, they responded to this.
01:52:04.720Not only did he get a response, it wasn't a polite dismissal.
01:52:08.180So the current U.S. attorney of Minnesota, Erica McDonald—she is a Trump appointee, by the way, a 2018 Trump appointee—she directed the FBI to review Steve's complaint.
01:52:22.920And then the FBI, the special agent in charge at the FBI, who she had assigned, did meet with Drazkowski—it was that same day Trump was in town—and a few others.
01:52:35.100And he handed over a file of prepared evidence that they had put together, some other information that related to her finance charges that Steve was also involved with exposing earlier in the year, and some other evidence.
01:52:53.160And the FBI, during the meeting, said, essentially—I'm paraphrasing, but wow—they took it seriously and said, you know, we have such a wide range of criminal activity here suggested by this evidence.
01:53:12.320In these kind of cases, the FBI turned into a hub and coordinates sharing evidence among several interested departments.
01:53:22.660I want to give the exact quote from your article.
01:53:25.600Following answers to those questions about Representative Omar's 2009 marriage appear to give probable cause to investigate Omar for eight instances of perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, up to eight years of state and federal tax fraud, two years of federal student loan fraud, and even bigamy.
01:53:44.360To be clear, the facts described perhaps the most extensive spree of illegal misconduct committed by a House member in all of American history.
01:54:17.880Other people have followed up on it, but it has been—and Alpha News Minnesota, a small local outlet, got the ball rolling on this back in 2016.
01:54:30.020Now, so this information, it's been a long wait, because there was a much—there was enough information to open an investigation back before she was even elected in 2016 to her—to her state seat.
01:54:45.980Now, what I like to do is compare what was going on with the FBI at the time, the evidence they used to open this investigation against Trump.
01:54:56.880Compare that evidence, which was George Papadopoulos in a bar.
01:55:21.000We have Ilhan's own comments to an interviewer back in 2014.
01:55:27.680We have her husband's comments that also corroborate all of this.
01:55:32.320This is just such a huge packet of evidence, and with what else is going on in the world today, look at what Adam Schiff's trying to use as grounds for impeaching the president.
01:55:49.160All you need to know about the hypocrisy of what's going on today in the Senate is to take a look at how Adam Schiff has treated the evidence against his colleagues.
01:55:58.540Okay, so you have the FBI playing as a quarterback, if you will.
01:56:03.120They gave part of this case to the Department of Education Inspector General for her fraud on marriage and how she was working the educational system.
01:56:14.520And then they also went to ICE, and they are saying that she broke all kinds of immigration rules.
01:56:40.900Whether or not that was legal, and obviously I've printed before that I think it was entirely fraudulent, that's not what we're looking at here.
01:56:49.220Where ICE would be involved with her having a fraudulent marriage to a U.K. citizen.
01:57:21.080And do you—do you see a world in which this stuff is actually handed down on a member of Congress?
01:57:29.020You know, this is—I've talked about her as sort of the perfect test that came along both for the Democrat Party, for the media, and for law enforcement.
01:57:41.960If they don't take action on this case, then—yes, what will they take action on?
01:57:50.820This is something that seems like, you know, if they do open an investigation in the morning, they could hand out indictments by lunchtime.
01:59:50.820Obviously, when you see law enforcement doing something—well, when you see they're doing the job as expected, I don't want to antagonize them.
02:00:01.880So obviously this news—I published the news of the meeting last year.
02:00:07.620I waited three weeks after the meeting happened before I ran it.
02:00:11.020So this news about the FBI being contacted—I'm sorry, this news about ICE being contacted and the Department of Education being contacted, this didn't happen last week.
02:00:25.980So I have been—the last thing I want to do is be accused of, stovepiping, essentially, handing information over to these agencies, calling the media and saying, hey, look, there's an investigation.
02:00:39.040Which is—ironically, that's what James Comey did, you know, when they briefed the president and then leaked it to the media that there was something going on.
02:00:48.720David, I like the way you work, and I like the way you think, and your work ethic to prove it is very rare in today's world.
02:01:01.340He was the New York City editor at PJ Media.
02:01:04.200And if you ask Dave Bratt, it was his investigation of Eric Cantor in 2014 in the primary campaign that tipped that district into a historic loss.
02:01:19.540And some say it was the beginning of the Trump era, and all because of you, David Steinberg.
02:02:04.380And if we hide our light under a, you know, a bushel, then nobody sees it.
02:02:10.720You have the chance to ensure that right now you have your hard-earned money going to fight for the causes you believe in, and you should be proud of that.
02:02:23.280Right now, every time you make a phone call and you're using one of the main carriers, most likely part of that money is going to fund abortions or fight for abortions with Planned Parenthood or fight against your freedom of speech or your freedom of religion.
02:02:37.540Because the main cell carriers are in bed with these people, and they take a bit of their profits, your money, and they spend it there.
02:02:47.300Well, okay, they gave me a great exchange for a phone service, but is there anyone who will give me that same great service without kicking me in the face and working against me?
02:03:11.780Unlike the big-name cell carriers, they take and they donate some of their profits to not Planned Parenthood, but pro-life groups and pro-Second Amendment.
02:04:08.680I mean, the gall of the Republicans in the Senate.
02:04:20.740I don't know if you know this yesterday, but here is...
02:04:23.840This is what Mitch McConnell tried to do.
02:04:28.160Oh, I'm going to put in the old rules from the Clinton impeachment, because we all agree that was fair.
02:04:34.260But then he went in, and he tried to change one part of it, which was you still have 24 hours to make your case, just like they did in Bill Clinton, but you have only two days to do it, as opposed to three.
02:04:46.280So you've got to work a 12-hour day, not an eight-hour day, because, they say, nobody's going to watch these things.
02:04:53.360That's what it was that was stopping people from watching it.
02:06:07.880And if you see anybody with anything but water or milk on the floor, you better call your local congressman, because there's another impeachment filing that you have to make.
02:06:18.440I got to tell you, if they said that to me, I would be baking cookies all night long.
02:06:24.500And then I'd come, and I would be selling the other senators cookies for their milk.
