00:01:22.140 Hello, everybody. I'm Lew Dobbs.
00:01:24.480 Welcome to The Great America Show. Great to have you with us.
00:01:28.020 As has been well established over the past decade, political corruption is a congenital disease of the Marxist Dem Party.
00:01:36.060 And as the Bidens have demonstrated repeatedly, it's often a family affair and frequently afflicts the most powerful.
00:01:43.420 The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has been indicted for influence peddling and bribery.
00:01:49.640 The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York indicted Senator Bob Menendez and his wife for accepting bribes and for corruption.
00:01:59.680 The indictment says they were effectively selling Senator Menendez's power and influence as chairman of one of the most powerful committees in the Senate.
00:02:09.860 Here is U.S. Attorney Damian William announcing the indictment.
00:02:14.220 The indictment alleges that Senator Menendez took several actions as part of this corrupt relationship.
00:02:19.240 First, the indictment alleges that Senator Menendez used his power and influence, including his leadership role on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to benefit the government of Egypt in various ways.
00:02:32.960 Among other actions, Senator Menendez allegedly provided sensitive, non-public U.S. government information to Egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to secretly aid the government of Egypt.
00:02:45.100 We also allege that Senator Menendez improperly pressured a senior official at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to protect a lucrative monopoly that the government of Egypt had awarded to HANA, a lucrative monopoly that HANA then used to fund certain bribe payments.
00:03:02.920 Second, the indictment alleges that Senator Menendez used his power and influence to try to disrupt a criminal investigation and prosecution undertaken by the New Jersey Attorney General's Office related to an associate and a relative of Uribe.
00:03:19.720 Third, the indictment alleges that Senator Menendez used his power and influence to try to disrupt a federal prosecution of Davies in the District of New Jersey in two ways.
00:03:33.180 First, by seeking to install a United States attorney who he thought could be influenced with respect to Davies.
00:03:41.180 And second, by trying to influence that office to act favorably in Davies' case.
00:03:45.600 And as we allege in the indictment, the senator agreed to do these things and use his power in this way because HANA was paying bribes, because Uribe was paying bribes, and because Davies was paying bribes.
00:04:00.100 Fortunately, the public officials the senator sought to influence did not bend to the pressure.
00:04:06.480 That's a good thing.
00:04:07.280 Now, as part of this investigation, special agents with the FBI executed search warrants on the residence and safe deposit box of Senator Menendez and Nadine Menendez in New Jersey.
00:04:19.660 When they got there, they discovered approximately $500,000 of cash stuffed into envelopes and closets.
00:04:27.720 Some of the cash was stuffed in the senator's jacket pockets.
00:04:30.560 Some of the cash, some of the envelopes of cash contained Davies' fingerprints, Davies' DNA.
00:04:37.800 That's not all.
00:04:39.480 Agents also discovered a lot of gold.
00:04:42.500 Gold that was provided by Davies and HANA.
00:04:46.580 And the FBI, of course, found the Mercedes-Benz that Uribe had provided them.
00:04:51.100 Prosecutors say the senator and his wife took gold, cash, home mortgage payments, a no-show job for his wife, and a luxury car.
00:05:01.920 Now, this is the second time in 10 years that Menendez has been indicted for corruption.
00:05:08.920 Back in 2015, he was indicted for conspiracy and bribery, but that trial ended in a mistrial.
00:05:15.840 Senator Menendez says he and his wife have been the victims of what he called, quote,
00:05:21.520 forces behind the scenes, end quote.
00:05:24.320 And this is all, he says, a smear campaign to create, quote,
00:05:29.080 an air of impropriety where none exists, end quote.
00:05:33.600 Nonetheless, the Marxist Dem governor of New Jersey isn't waiting for due process or a jury verdict for that matter.
00:05:40.620 Governor Phil Murphy is calling for Menendez to resign immediately from the U.S. Senate.
00:05:47.580 If we didn't know better, we might think Murphy was just too eager by half
00:05:52.660 to appoint some loyal Marxist Dem to take Senator Menendez's seat.
00:05:58.840 The senator is up for election next year, by the way.
00:06:02.000 The Justice Department has been investigating, it turns out, Menendez and his wife for almost a year and a half.
00:06:08.100 Funny how these things work, isn't it?
00:06:10.060 Speaking of corruption, which we do almost daily, a third IRS agent has come forward to the House investigators
00:06:17.920 and is testifying that Joe Biden's Justice Department blocked Special Counsel David Weiss from charging Hunter Biden.
00:06:27.220 That's right, directly contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's testimony,
00:06:32.700 his statements to lawmakers this past week.
00:06:35.760 As we know too well, truth is a problem, a big problem for these Marxist Dems.
00:06:42.440 One man in Washington telling and exposing the truth is House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.
00:06:49.060 Comer is set to hold his first impeachment inquiry hearing this coming Thursday,
00:06:54.000 in which he will lay out all existing evidence against the Biden crime family.
00:06:59.020 Last week, Comer subpoenaed the bank records of Joe Biden's brother James and Hunter Biden.
00:07:05.680 Comer says this impeachment inquiry is unfortunate, but he was left with no choice because President Biden blocked
00:07:12.720 and obstructed the Oversight Committee's investigation at every turn.
00:07:18.000 This is an impeachment inquiry.
00:07:20.120 It's unfortunate that we've had to go here, Harris, but this family, the Biden family,
00:07:25.620 this administration, the Biden administration and his legal team have blocked and obstructed us at every turn.
00:07:31.520 Yet we continue to uncover more findings, more evidence of wrongdoing by the Biden family.
00:07:38.200 So this is the next step, an impeachment inquiry.
00:07:40.880 We're not talking about having an impeachment vote.
00:07:43.360 This isn't an impeachment trial.
00:07:44.940 This is an impeachment inquiry where we have every tool at our disposal to be able to get a speedy trial
00:07:50.760 if and when we head to court over these personal bank records and these pseudonym emails.
00:07:55.840 And it allows us to have a better standing when the department, when the cabinet agencies refuse to turn over information.
00:08:03.960 So we're not having an impeachment hearing.
00:08:06.580 We're having an impeachment inquiry because we've gotten to the point to where there's so much evidence of wrongdoing by the Biden family.
00:08:13.280 And Joe Biden has lied so many times to the American people about his knowledge of his family's wrongdoing.
00:08:18.600 Our guest today to take up the Biden impeachment inquiry and much more is journalist and former White House correspondent Emerald Robinson,
00:08:27.100 host of The Absolute Truth on Lindell TV.
00:08:30.440 Emerald, great to have you back with us on the show.
00:08:32.500 It's only been a few weeks, but a lot's happened in that time.
00:08:36.200 Let's start with the impeachment of Joe Biden.
00:08:38.260 I know it's an impeachment inquiry, but surely it will lead to impeachment.
00:08:42.780 Don't you think?
00:08:44.200 I think that perhaps McCarthy doesn't want it to lead there, but it almost has to.
00:08:50.940 Clearly, the announcement of impeachment is sort of, in timing, a lifeline for McCarthy,
00:08:57.100 who is facing major pressure from within his party to not just do this kind of clean, continuing resolution and continue to fund all of the priorities that Democrats want,
00:09:07.800 particularly the political persecutions, to go ahead and keep doing that.
00:09:12.800 And McCarthy has been dragging his feet on impeachment, right?
00:09:17.060 But here's the positives in talking with members of Congress, which I've done now over the last couple of days pretty extensively.
00:09:22.840 While some of them don't necessarily have faith in the sincerity of Speaker McCarthy, and you understand why, and I'm sure your audience understands why.
00:09:31.960 Absolutely.
00:09:32.400 They do feel that at the end of the day, with this inquiry going forward, it does give them more powers, particularly subpoena powers, which they need.
00:09:43.980 And it should lead to a subpoena of Hunter Biden, which is essential.
00:09:49.260 And I would say, first and foremost, that is the first subpoena that they need to issue.
00:09:54.360 The four investigating committees, I think, have a responsibility now to move this thing as fast and as quickly and be as hard-hitting as possible.
00:10:05.240 And that means putting out subpoenas.
00:10:07.820 And again, foremost among them, Hunter Biden, your thoughts.
00:10:12.360 I agree, because they're already late in getting this impeachment going.
00:10:17.260 You and I both know that they've had evidence that warranted impeachment inquiry and proceedings from day one in office.
00:10:25.880 All this was already laid out for them.
00:10:27.520 And in fact, they really didn't have to do much work on their own.
00:10:30.260 They just had to kind of confirm the work that had already been done by several others, including the 501c3 group, Marco Polo.
00:10:37.300 But they were not quite ready on day one.
00:10:39.980 So now they're behind the curve.
00:10:42.020 And if they're going to do anything before they face a new Congress, they have to really hit this fast and hard.
00:10:48.160 And I did have I have the founder of that group, Marco Polo.
00:10:52.320 His name is Gary Ziegler on my show today.
00:10:54.620 And he talked about how they need to be very specific with their strategy.
00:10:58.020 It doesn't need to be broad subpoenas.
00:11:01.480 They can subpoena very specific information to make their case because they know what's there.
00:11:08.080 They just need a subpoena and get it.
00:11:10.600 And then you find the direct line between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
00:11:15.540 But again, all that information has actually been out there, made available to the public in text messages, wire transfer documents, shell company documents, emails.
00:11:26.800 And when Democrats and this is the counter narrative that is being headed and led by from the White House, the narrative strategy from Democrats and their stenographers in the corporate media is that there is no evidence.
00:11:40.160 And they just say it as much as they can say it.
00:11:42.480 Right.
00:11:43.320 But there's everything.
00:11:44.720 It's interesting, too, because he and Sam sending out his little letter.
00:11:50.840 I love the way I love the way James Comer refers to him as little Ian Sam's as dismissively as he can.
00:12:01.120 And no wonder, given all of the harassment that Comer has been under from the from the White House.
00:12:07.200 But Ian Sam's didn't itemize a single thing when he was referring to the falsehoods of the committees.
00:12:17.840 It's really interesting that I I really believe this is a throwback to the Obama administration.
00:12:23.880 The White House now openly sending out the talking points to the left wing media, to the networks, to the publications.
00:12:32.280 And it's it's right out there, raw and bold for everyone to see.
00:12:37.200 The White House thinks it's going to be able to lead the national media.
00:12:42.660 What do you think?
00:12:44.840 Well, there's a good reason they feel that way, because historically, when it's been a Democrat administration, they've definitely been able to do that.
00:12:52.000 And they've been able to when they're in the opposition to to lead the media as the DNC or, you know, the the opposing campaign.
00:12:59.820 But I was on some of those email threads with Ian Sam's, given that I used to be a White House correspondent.
00:13:07.040 And I'm still obviously in the database and in some of those chains.
00:13:10.380 And like you said, he didn't lay out any point by point refutation to the allegations that are being made.
00:13:16.720 He just says there's no evidence.
00:13:17.860 And then he cited the Republicans like Colorado Congressman Kim Buck, who've been out who've been out there in the media suggesting they're not for impeachment.
00:13:27.380 That was kind of it.
00:13:28.340 Then there's this other letter that I did not receive.
00:13:31.260 I assume it's more friendly media must have received asking these outlets to to to go after Republicans more and to practice more scrutiny of of the Republican congressman.
00:13:49.900 What I find interesting about this, Lou, and I'm still kind of working this out because, you know, this is this is kind of developing news, is that they felt the need to do that.
00:13:59.320 Because I feel like usually and I wonder if you agree historically, they've not really had to ask for that.
00:14:07.860 Right. Right. With the way that the corporate media, the legacy media works hand in glove with mostly Democrats, but just the uniparty in general, that would be an unspoken item.
00:14:20.780 They would just know that that's what they're going to do.
00:14:23.460 They wouldn't have to send a letter to get them to do that.
00:14:25.440 So it makes me wonder, does the White House, for some reason, have reason to believe that the corporate media maybe isn't going to defend Joe Biden in this impeachment inquiry?
00:14:37.940 Yeah, I think you make a great point and raise a very important question.
00:14:42.240 My reaction to both of those those issues is this.
00:14:46.900 One is that this is the third term of the Obama White House, no matter what anybody wants to say.
00:14:53.000 That's what it is.
00:14:54.140 70 of the first 100 people they hired, all Obama-ites and most of the executive power within the White House staff exists with Obama veterans, Susan Rice, et cetera, et cetera.
00:15:07.660 But when it comes to the Obama administration, they had a very clever organization built around their there's white their reporting relationships. 0.65
00:15:20.680 They would send out talking points every morning, every morning to the friendly, friendly media.
00:15:26.980 It may be that they had not thought that was necessary because they were getting so much support that they hadn't organized it that way.
00:15:35.240 It looks like this might be a form of catch up in that where they have to in public go with that statement seeking support from the left wing media.
00:15:44.580 That's the best I can figure it.
00:15:46.400 But we'll take take up this subject and more right after these quick moments between now and when we return.
00:15:56.200 Stay with us.
00:15:56.940 We'll be right back.
00:16:03.380 We're back now with Emerald Robinson.
00:16:05.540 Emerald talking about that Ian Sam's letter and what made it seemingly necessary.
00:16:12.120 It is it is a strange thing.
00:16:14.900 And I have to believe that the only reason that makes any sense to me, at least, is that they didn't have in place the talking points relationships with their friendly media.
00:16:24.340 They apparently thought they'd have they had so much support.
00:16:27.240 They didn't need it.
00:16:28.480 And now they're trying to catch up.
00:16:30.980 Your thoughts.
00:16:32.720 Perhaps.
00:16:33.700 And that's definitely possible because I had noticed that during my time before I left the White House press press corps, they had become somewhat lazy.
00:16:44.620 Right.
00:16:45.700 Just because they weren't having to try.
00:16:48.840 And every once in a while, particularly Jen Psaki, who was good at her job, would get called out just.
00:16:54.880 And I knew what she was like at the State Department before under the Obama administration. 0.97
00:16:58.560 So I knew she just wasn't operating operating at her top capacity because she hadn't had to because they coddled her so much and they coddled the Biden administration.
00:17:08.960 But I'll give you another another possibility, Lou, is that given that it is largely controlled by Obama, though, the administration as a whole, perhaps they see this as a way to rid themselves of Joe Biden.
00:17:25.380 There are increasing conversations within and without Washington, D.C., I'm saying without as in other power centers across the country, one being Silicon Valley, that they're done with Joe Biden.
00:17:39.880 In fact, one of my sources who is advising a group of tech oligarchs who want to be done with Joe Biden is that they are trying to operate a plan that would essentially.
00:17:53.840 Get rid of Joe Biden by whatever means that they could, whether it be convince him not to run again, to step down, or if something else comes along that would make it impossible for him to be the nominee in 2024.
00:18:06.640 They would like, and these are very powerful people, they would like for it to be Gavin Newsom at the top of the ticket.
00:18:15.580 They also don't want Kamala Harris.
00:18:17.800 So the idea would be that Dianne Feinstein would step down and that Newsom would appoint Kamala Harris in that seat until which time they do, I guess, a special election. 1.00
00:18:28.460 I'm not as familiar with California.
00:18:31.140 He said that he would, Newsom said that that's exactly what he would do.
00:18:35.800 He wouldn't turn it over as a permanent situation.
00:18:41.440 It would be only an interim to the election.
00:18:45.540 Right.
00:18:46.020 And then they would like to see these tech oligarchs. 0.99
00:18:49.620 They would like to see the ambassador to Mexico in the vice presidential spot with Gavin Newsom.
00:18:57.540 There's lots of money going behind this strategy.
00:19:01.100 Whether they'll be successful, that's not clear, but I think it speaks to the environment in which there are powerful people within the Democrat Party looking at other scenarios outside of Joe Biden.
00:19:17.640 And that's perhaps why maybe there's not a confidence level with the corporate media as to, you know, them actually effectively defending Joe Biden and attacking Republicans.
00:19:30.260 No, that's interesting.
00:19:31.840 And it isn't, you know, it is a it's an architecture that would make perfect sense, given the oligarchs experience as being determinate in the outcome.
00:19:42.560 Certainly in 2020, this is a manufactured presidency.
00:19:47.680 It's an illegitimate one manufactured in large measure by those who decided that they would use Joe Biden as the puppet that he is.
00:19:56.200 And their masters would be many, but focused, if you will, the cabal of the left wing oligarchs, obviously, and the Obama, the Obama Marxists.
00:20:07.900 It's it's an interesting idea.
00:20:10.000 I think that there's also a great force that's building right now for the Republicans, unfortunately for them.
00:20:15.340 This this impeachment means that they're going to have significantly more power in their subpoenas and what they can demand of this administration.
00:20:24.940 And there will be repercussions, whether it's through the appropriations process.
00:20:28.840 It may be through any number of negotiations, whether it be over the the budget, which is upcoming here in September 30th.
00:20:36.120 There are all sorts of ways to play it.
00:20:38.340 The oligarchs had best be careful, because this power that they now have over the administration as they move forward with this inquiry also will be greater power when you're dealing with big tech and their monopolies, their oligopoly, if you will, that is for very much for real.
00:20:55.680 It's not just an expression when we talk about the oligarchs of Silicon Valley.
00:20:59.480 Those are are real in economic terms, oligarchs.
00:21:04.000 But we also are dealing with Wall Street.
00:21:06.040 And there is a lot to be uncovered here.
00:21:08.340 And these committees, I have to tell you, I'm impressed.
00:21:12.820 James Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, Jim Jordan, who I've known for some time, who I respect greatly, not only a judiciary, but he is also heading up the weaponization subcommittee, as well as Jason Smith at Ways and Means.
00:21:28.140 This is immense power that corporate America had best be careful of, because in the hands of the Republicans who have historically, as you know, been pro-corporate, they are now they've been run over by the left wing Marxist corporate who are elite global elites that have been just destructive of both President Trump and the Republican Party.
00:21:51.140 Your thoughts?
00:21:52.340 Well, I think the test is coming, right?
00:21:54.100 I'll be interested to see if Republicans really exercise the power that they now have.
00:22:00.900 And as they face the budget deadline on September 30th, it will be very telling, because that's something we focused on today, is how much power does the Republicans really have in the appropriations process?
00:22:13.140 And how long could they really let a government shutdown happen?
00:22:16.800 And see, you know, Lou, they're allergic to a government shutdown.
00:22:20.420 They're allergic to actually going and cutting, you know, funding that benefits maybe the corporations or, you know, the money flowing to Ukraine.
00:22:29.840 But this is their opportunity to show that they're ready and willing to do it.
00:22:33.420 And technically, American people don't care if, you know, some of these government entities don't receive their funding.
00:22:38.440 They might be happy.
00:22:39.360 So let's see if Republicans hold the line on a continuing resolution and actually get some cuts and reshift the money priorities, because they have the chance to do it.
00:22:50.880 They might tell you that they don't, but they do.
00:22:54.220 Absolutely.
00:22:55.200 We're talking with Emerald Robinson.
00:22:57.240 We're going to continue our conversation right after this.
00:23:01.180 Stay with us.
00:23:01.900 We're back with Emerald Robinson.
00:23:09.700 And Emerald, I want to continue the thought that you had just before the break.
00:23:13.540 And that is just how much power do the Republicans have and just how much of it will they be willing to use?
00:23:19.640 I would just set as a bit of a predicate, Kevin McCarthy doesn't want to use any power.
00:23:25.420 Let's stipulate that he will be an impediment.
00:23:28.760 He will not be a booster.
00:23:29.960 He will also be run over by very harsh politics if he stands in the way of what is the right thing.
00:23:37.660 The Republicans are now embarked on the right direction toward the right thing.
00:23:42.220 I don't think he can stop it.
00:23:44.060 Your thoughts about how much power they have, what you expect them to use?
00:23:48.560 Well, those are two very different things.
00:23:51.600 Now, the powers that they have, they could pass single appropriations bills to make sure they fund, like, Veterans Affairs and certain sensitive areas that would not play as well with the public if they were not funded.
00:24:06.160 Correct?
00:24:06.780 But then when we're talking government shutdown, everyone goes into a panic.
00:24:10.080 And, Lou, I've covered so many of these looming and short government shutdowns.
00:24:15.440 And everyone acts like it's the end of the world in Washington, D.C.
00:24:18.920 But then you talk to people in real America and they're not affected at all, right?
00:24:25.020 So really, 95 percent of government services are still funded.
00:24:28.560 It's just sort of a small portion that aren't.
00:24:31.080 So with that, and considering the way Americans feel, if you look at the polling about the weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI, this is as good an environment as any, as Republicans had in the past, to not go along and just pass a continuing resolution.
00:24:48.580 And this will put the ball in Democrats' court because if Democrats won't come to the table and negotiate on some of the funding priorities that Republicans want or some of the cuts, then they can, even though the media will claim it's Republicans, Republicans will have some pretty good justifications, especially as we're watching the political persecution at both the federal and state level of a former president, right?
00:25:14.180 They've never had this kind of environment to actually stand their ground in budget negotiations, and they can.
00:25:20.760 And from what I understand in talking with several congressmen and some of their policy advisors is that they could really let a government shutdown go on for quite a while, and most Americans would not be affected.
00:25:34.960 So that's what they could do.
00:25:37.580 I am not, I am not, I'm more skeptical that they will do that, because you only really have the House Freedom Caucus members who are committed to doing that, right, and not the larger Republican conference overall.
00:25:50.760 So I don't see that they will do that.
00:25:54.800 But who knows?
00:25:56.220 I mean, we'll see how hard the House Freedom Caucus can push.
00:26:01.400 Now, if McCarthy tries to thwart their efforts to hold the line on the budget, I do believe that there will be a motion to vacate the chair.
00:26:13.700 Now, there's some mixed feelings about how that will go.
00:26:17.540 I think the general consensus is that he will survive it, but it puts pressure on him, and it'll force Democrats to have to come in and save McCarthy, right?
00:26:26.800 They'll have to come along and kind of give him a lifeline, and that will be politically bad for them.
00:26:32.820 So right now, if Republicans realize it, they actually hold most of the political leverage, and they're in a good sitting position going to September 30th where they could actually change some things, if they will.
00:26:47.900 If they will.
00:26:49.140 And the political will is always the big question, isn't it?
00:26:53.100 Particularly with Republicans, it seems.
00:26:55.440 The reality that is now extant is that September 30th is approaching.
00:27:05.440 They lost, the Republicans lost badly the debate over the struggle, whatever you want to call it, over the ceiling, the budget ceiling, the spending ceiling.
00:27:17.780 And when you think about what they did, I beg the Republicans not to get involved in that fight because they've never, ever won it.
00:27:26.700 Only one time you can argue, but it's a different circumstance, and that was with Newt Gingrich when he was Speaker.
00:27:32.700 But that goes back too far, and it's too distant at the memories of most of these politicos.
00:27:37.300 So why would they even get involved in that again?
00:27:42.380 The best strategy, it seems to me, is for them to say, no, you're going to bring spending under control.
00:27:48.540 These are the red lines, and this is the way it will be.
00:27:51.780 Now, Mr. President, you're under impeachment.
00:27:54.640 Impeachment is what we're here about.
00:27:56.540 We're going to do the right thing.
00:27:58.400 You will be cooperating.
00:27:59.300 And we really don't have time to have a negotiation on spending here.
00:28:05.460 These are our terms.
00:28:07.720 And meanwhile, we'll get back to subpoenaing everyone in your regime until we get the answers that the American people deserve about your rampant corruption and the Marxist Dems control of our entire federal government. 0.73
00:28:20.800 What do you think?
00:28:21.920 I think you're absolutely right.
00:28:23.880 Right. And maybe a few of them will be listening to you, Lou, and employ that strategy.
00:28:30.200 But again, I mean, we'll see.
00:28:32.900 I feel like I'm always giving the caveat of if they will.
00:28:36.460 But they are, as you noted, in a great position.
00:28:38.940 And look, they're not just going to be impeaching members of his organization.
00:28:43.080 They're actually going to, I mean, excuse me, subpoenaing.
00:28:45.700 They should be sending subpoenas to his family members as well.
00:28:49.380 There is a suggestion that they should send a subpoena to Jill Biden.
00:28:53.880 So Joe Biden, and given that he, again, doesn't have as much support in his own party, Joe Biden is in a very vulnerable place.
00:29:04.500 His White House, whoever makes the decisions, are in a little bit more vulnerable place because of him not being so super popular.
00:29:11.100 And his own party doesn't have confidence in him.
00:29:14.400 And the Republicans concede on that.
00:29:17.020 Absolutely.
00:29:17.540 And going back to Marco Polo and Gary Ziegler, I understand that Ziegler's view on the strategy there.
00:29:29.440 You also are breaking some news on Marco Polo and Hunter Biden.
00:29:33.840 Could you share that with us?
00:29:35.340 Yeah.
00:29:35.860 Marco Polo had been sued by Hunter Biden's lawyer, Kevin Morris.
00:29:39.780 And if that name sounds familiar to you, that is who Hunter Biden turned over his shares in that Chinese CCP-aligned company, BHR Partners.
00:29:52.200 He turned them over to Kevin Morris.
00:29:53.660 And that was actually after I found out after I had asked Jen Psaki sometime into Biden's presidency whether Hunter Biden had followed through on that promise.
00:30:06.560 Remember, the campaign promise for him to rid himself of that investment.
00:30:09.800 Well, now Hunter Biden himself is suing Marco Polo.
00:30:15.320 They just got that word.
00:30:17.100 And this is immediately the day after the impeachment proceedings were announced.
00:30:23.820 So clearly, that was a trigger point for Hunter Biden, who has sort of stayed out of their orbit and tried to get the other people to deal with Marco Polo.
00:30:33.280 Now he's directly engaging with them.
00:30:34.920 And I talked to Garrett about what this means for them.
00:30:38.620 And he said this will be more discovery opportunities for them, right?
00:30:43.340 And they really understand the Hunter Biden material very, very well.
00:30:47.520 But, I mean, look, they're getting sued left and right, and this is going to be a big one coming after them.
00:30:53.740 But they're committed to continuing their project and doing the work that they believe is best for the American people and putting this information out about who the Bidens really are and what they've been doing.
00:31:03.300 And it's absolutely no coincidence that suddenly Leonard Leo is also under assault now.
00:31:12.600 All of a sudden, stories are ginning up, and he's being attacked, the leader of the, if you will, the conservative movement, particularly the judiciary.
00:31:22.680 We're going to see a lot of reflux now, aren't we?
00:31:25.580 Yeah, I think so.
00:31:27.120 It's just like a caged animal, right?
00:31:28.900 They start to lash out at everybody.
00:31:31.620 So, and since they do have the corporate media and the legacy media in their camp, and that's, you know, but that's why so many Republicans are cowardly, right?
00:31:43.740 Because it's hard.
00:31:44.860 Lou, you know, you've had that machine up against you.
00:31:47.620 I have myself.
00:31:49.680 It's a huge, powerful machine that comes at you to discredit you.
00:31:55.400 And that's why so many Republicans are afraid of stepping out of bounds.
00:31:59.500 But look, we're at a point in our democracy, you have to, you have to speak up.
00:32:04.240 You have to tell the truth.
00:32:05.760 And I feel like when they do attack someone in that way, when they really are speaking the truth, they're not really ultimately a casualty.
00:32:12.700 And they look that way for a little while, but ultimately they reemerge and they're just fine.
00:32:18.520 Well, truth will set us all free.
00:32:22.760 And truth is the first friend of this great democracy of ours.
00:32:27.560 We better hope that everyone stays absolutely resolute in going after the wrongdoing of this administration, this president, and all of their supporters, whether they be oligarchs or whether they be Marxist Dems who somehow want to give continued expression to the political insight of one Barack Obama for what reason I can't imagine.
00:32:52.800 Thanks so much. It's great talking with you, Emerald. I hope you'll come back soon. Thank you. Enjoyed our talk very much.
00:32:59.760 Of course, Lou. I always enjoy talking with you.

00:33:10.120 Tomorrow, as the Marxist Dems, the public health agencies, and more are ginning up their propaganda machines in the national media to strike fear across the land, just like in the pandemic of 2020, to boost the vaccines, of course, and their makers, vaxed dissident and truth-teller and patriot, physician Dr. Robert Malone joins us.
00:33:32.980 That's right here. Tomorrow, you don't want to miss it.
00:33:35.080 Please join us for that tomorrow and for truth, justice, and the American way each and every day right here.
