Verdict with Ted Cruz - $20 MILLION to the Biden Family & Associates from Foreign Countries...WHILE JOE BIDEN WAS VICE PRESIDENT

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.680 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.500 And Senator, we've got more bank records, but you and I knew about this weeks ago

00:00:14.160 when we had James Comer on the show for that two-part series.

00:00:17.700 We now know where the money is coming from.

00:00:20.600 The House Oversight Committee released payments coming in from Russia,

00:00:24.520 from Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.

00:00:26.820 And the most important point is this.

00:00:29.260 They came in during Joe Biden's vice presidency.

00:00:33.640 The committee has now identified over $20 million in payments from foreign sources

00:00:37.860 directly to the Biden family and their business associates.

00:00:43.180 You and I are not shocked by the money coming in.

00:00:45.620 I am shocked by how much of it was coming in while he was the acting vice president of the United States of America.

00:00:51.980 Well, look, that's exactly right.

00:00:53.260 This is breaking news all over the place.

00:00:55.460 And we do have to point out at the outset, for regular Verdict listeners,

00:01:00.000 it's not particularly breaking news here.

00:01:02.380 Three weeks ago, we had James Comer for a two-part exclusive interview on Verdict,

00:01:07.880 where he previewed this.

00:01:09.340 And so we have known this was coming.

00:01:11.260 What the Oversight Committee released this week are a series of memorandums summarizing the bank record.

00:01:19.180 So this is not just allegations.

00:01:20.820 This is evidence that is backed up by bank records showing the wires hitting the accounts.

00:01:28.040 And what did they what did they release?

00:01:30.680 They released, number one, that more than $20 million in payments from foreign sources

00:01:39.180 went to the Biden family and their business associates while Joe Biden was vice president.

00:01:47.040 That's something very few people have picked up on.

00:01:49.880 Joe Biden was vice president for eight years.

00:01:51.880 Those were a very profitable eight years.

00:01:55.060 And that more than $20 million comes from three places, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.

00:02:02.980 And we'll break that out in further detail in a moment.

00:02:05.920 On top of that, the House Oversight Committee detailed that an additional $8 million came from China,

00:02:14.440 from communist China, not while Biden was president, but shortly thereafter,

00:02:19.300 just a few months after he was vice president, millions more came in from communist China.

00:02:25.520 This was a business.

00:02:27.860 And it was not a business selling access.

00:02:30.460 I want to say to everyone in the conservative ecosphere,

00:02:34.540 to everyone talking about this scandal, to everyone, whether you're on media,

00:02:38.460 whether you're an elected official, whether you're an influencer,

00:02:41.800 stop using the Democrat phrase selling access.

00:02:45.880 Because when they say selling access, that's something CNN says.

00:02:50.060 Why?

00:02:50.880 Because you've got all of Washington that is a town built on selling access.

00:02:55.900 You've got every lobbyist in Washington who makes a living selling access.

00:03:00.160 And so when they say Hunter was selling access,

00:03:02.880 you need to understand that term is meant to be a defense of Hunter and Joe Biden.

00:03:09.840 No, Hunter's just being a lobbyist.

00:03:11.840 It may be a little creepy, but it's what happens in Washington.

00:03:15.480 No, when you're looking at twenty eight million dollars paid while Biden was president

00:03:21.440 and shortly thereafter from Russia, from Kazakhstan, from Ukraine and from communist China,

00:03:27.060 what you are looking at and what the sum total of these allegations is that Hunter

00:03:32.740 was selling official favors from Joe Biden.

00:03:38.140 And to be clear, you know, we've had lots of questions about, well, gosh, was Joe involved in Hunter's business dealings?

00:03:47.060 These aren't Hunter's business dealings.

00:03:49.660 These are Joe's business dealings.

00:03:52.880 Joe's the one making the official favors.

00:03:56.240 Joe's the one getting on more than 20 phone calls with these foreign business partners.

00:04:00.880 Joe's the one showing up at dinners at Cafe Milano.

00:04:04.060 Joe is the one flying to Ukraine over and over and over again.

00:04:08.660 Joe is the one holding over a billion dollars in federal loan guarantees hostage until the Ukrainian government

00:04:15.140 fires Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor that is investigating Burisma and the oligarch that owned them.

00:04:21.040 It is Joe's business.

00:04:23.400 Listen, Hunter is a guy who's strung out on drugs, who's been a screw up his whole life.

00:04:29.920 Ain't nobody paying Hunter Biden $28 million for anything.

00:04:35.260 This is Joe Biden.

00:04:37.660 And Hunter is just the salesman.

00:04:40.480 Hunter's the front man.

00:04:42.020 Hunter's the guy that goes out and says, hey, you want a favor from daddy?

00:04:46.920 I got daddy right here.

00:04:48.320 I got daddy on the phone.

00:04:49.500 You know what I need?

00:04:50.240 I need a Porsche.

00:04:51.100 You know what I need?

00:04:52.440 I need a really expensive watch.

00:04:56.380 This was Joe Biden.

00:04:58.700 And the corporate media does not want to even acknowledge that possibility.

00:05:03.480 Yeah.

00:05:03.600 And I think this is, as you mentioned a moment ago, this is something that we really need to start focusing on.

00:05:08.200 That there's no business that Hunter Biden actually had.

00:05:12.500 He was working for his dad.

00:05:14.440 He was working for daddy.

00:05:15.700 And he was selling daddy's influence and selling out the United States of America.

00:05:20.740 That's why all this money was coming in while he was the vice president.

00:05:24.700 Now, there's also another part of this.

00:05:26.760 How did this go unnoticed?

00:05:29.220 And there's a lot that now I think more questions about this timeline.

00:05:33.440 Do you think the Obama White House didn't know that this was happening under their watch during the eight years that the vice president was clearly selling out America to the highest bidder?

00:05:42.760 I mean, do you believe that the FBI and those that were around the president that were taking him to these meetings at Cafe Milano, he was able to sit down with Russian oligarchs and, in essence, adversaries to us and have these dinners and meet with these people from Ukraine and Kazakhstan that had ties to Chinese communists and these payments coming through?

00:06:02.180 Do you think that the government didn't catch any of that?

00:06:05.480 Of course they knew about it.

00:06:06.940 And we know they knew about it.

00:06:08.260 We know, for example, and we've covered on verdict before, how a senior official in the Biden National Security Council, or rather the Obama National Security Council, raised the obvious conflict of interest, raised it in the Obama White House, and he was dismissed.

00:06:22.660 His concerns were dismissed.

00:06:24.320 We know that people were concerned about Devin Archer being on the board of Burisma.

00:06:28.220 We know that people were concerned about Hunter Biden being on the board of Burisma, both of them getting paid a million dollars a year.

00:06:34.700 And to be clear, look, your point about Hunter Biden doesn't add anything.

00:06:38.920 Let's take Burisma.

00:06:40.220 He doesn't speak Ukrainian.

00:06:41.420 He doesn't know anything about oil.

00:06:42.620 He doesn't know anything about natural gas.

00:06:44.560 He has no expertise whatsoever that would qualify him to be on the board of a natural gas company.

00:06:50.280 What he does have is a father who's the sitting vice president who is able to hold a billion dollars in federal loan guarantees hostage until the prosecutor investigating Burisma is fired.

00:07:04.660 And boy, you know what, for a million bucks a year or even for five million to Hunter and five million to Joe, which is what the FD 1023 alleges the oligarch had to pay.

00:07:16.540 That's a great deal to get the prosecutor fired who could destroy the entire company, who could seize the assets, who could take the company down, who could lock up the Ukraine.

00:07:27.060 I mean, 10, 11, 12 million dollars, that's quite the bargain.

00:07:31.880 But let's be clear, it's not Hunter selling anything.

00:07:37.360 It's Joe selling favors, and Hunter is just the salesman.

00:07:43.640 Let's go over some of this timeline, and this is, I think, an important part about all of this, is the fact that we are now kind of seeing when the payments came in and who they were coming in from.

00:07:54.740 You look at the overview of the financial records related to Robinson Walker LLC.

00:07:59.360 This was established as a limited liability company in Delaware in 08.

00:08:05.140 We fast forward to 2015 through 17.

00:08:08.160 Biden family members and their companies received at least 1.3 million in payments from Rob Walker related accounts.

00:08:16.340 The Biden family members who received money from this account included Hallie Biden.

00:08:20.400 She received two separate payments we now know about in 2017.

00:08:25.520 We had James Biden Sr.

00:08:27.580 They also got a payment.

00:08:28.980 We have Robert Hunter Biden.

00:08:30.360 That's, again, Hunter Biden.

00:08:31.880 And bank account identified an unknown Biden.

00:08:34.200 The committee is continuing to investigate the identity of that account holder.

00:08:38.600 But these records prove that the Biden family used at least three family members.

00:08:42.620 And they were taking money, and these lucrative payments were coming in from people all over the world.

00:08:51.000 Robinson Walker LLC, also senator, paid Biden family members over a million dollars after receiving the state energy HK Limited wire.

00:09:00.140 That is a company owned by the Chinese communist government.

00:09:04.520 That money came in, we now know, on March the 1st, 2017.

00:09:07.980 That was less than two months after Joe Biden left public life, and the state energy company HK Limited, this Chinese communist company, wired $3 million to Robinson Walker LLC.

00:09:20.820 At the time of the wire, Rob Walker's business account had a balance of $159,000.

00:09:25.280 And guess what happened the next day?

00:09:26.820 Walker wired $1,065,000 to European Energy and Infrastructure Group in Abu Dhabi,

00:09:33.800 a company associated with James Galar, another one of the Biden crime family members.

00:09:39.280 Galar was a business partner of Hunter Biden and involved in foreign transactions with the Biden family.

00:09:45.700 When you see these transactions, this was not the first time they'd done this.

00:09:50.540 This was a well-orchestrated, finely-tuned, money-laundering operation going all over the world from anyone that was willing to write them a check.

00:10:01.040 Well, and what we've seen is that Joe Biden and the Biden White House's defenses, each one of them has collapsed and has been demonstrated to be an utter and complete lie.

00:10:11.580 For years, during the 2020 campaign and afterwards, Joe Biden and the Biden White House said,

00:10:17.060 Joe Biden had never talked with Hunter, never talked with his business associates, has never had any conversations about any of Hunter's business.

00:10:23.420 That's now obviously a lie.

00:10:25.820 Devin Archer's testimony demonstrates it's a lie.

00:10:28.120 And even the Biden White House has been forced to retreat from that.

00:10:31.700 And so they shifted their narrative not to he never talked to the business associates or never talked about business,

00:10:36.560 but instead, and we're the ones who really broke this connection on verdict,

00:10:42.620 Corrine Jean-Pierre shifted to saying Joe Biden has never been in business with Hunter.

00:10:48.940 And in fact, she gave the enormous tell, the enormous reveal where she said,

00:10:53.180 I'm going to give you the same answer I've said every time it's always going to be the same.

00:10:56.520 And then she tells a totally different answer, which he has never been in business with with Hunter.

00:11:01.340 But but not only that, so their next line of defenses, when Devin Archer testifies that that that Joe Biden got on on the phone at least 20 times and went to multiple meetings at Cafe Milano,

00:11:11.500 the next line of defense from Democrats and their media cheerleaders are, well, the conversation was just about niceties.

00:11:20.220 It was just about the weather.

00:11:23.180 You know what the weather was they were talking about?

00:11:25.700 It was raining BS.

00:11:27.600 That's the only weather you don't put daddy, the vice president on to say, oh, pretty sunny outside.

00:11:33.960 Yep.

00:11:34.220 OK, good talking to you.

00:11:35.320 Bye.

00:11:35.620 Yeah, this was let me ask you this.

00:11:39.760 Let me ask you this.

00:11:40.760 Is there a weather service you know of that you pay twenty eight million dollars to?

00:11:46.020 No.

00:11:46.960 I mean, you have an app on your iPhone that can tell you tell you the weather doesn't cost you twenty eight million dollars.

00:11:53.780 That's the next line they're saying is it's just the weather.

00:11:56.260 The next line they're saying, and this was Dan Goldman's lie is, well, Hunter was selling the appearance of access.

00:12:06.080 No, no, it's not the appearance of access.

00:12:08.300 Number one, it was objectively real access.

00:12:10.720 If you're on the phone 20 times with the vice president, if you're meeting in person with the vice president, it's not the appearance of access.

00:12:16.880 That is access.

00:12:17.780 But to be clear, the allegations here are not even that he was selling access, it's that he was selling official favors.

00:12:25.500 And then there's another spin that the media and the Democrats are trying to pitch as these bank records come out.

00:12:32.720 They say, well, yes, but it's not proven that any of these payments went directly to Joe Biden, just to every member of the Biden family could find.

00:12:43.240 But it's not proven that it went into Joe's personal bank account.

00:12:47.780 Now, number one, for bribery, the payment doesn't have to go to you directly.

00:12:53.240 Look, Joe Biden is 80 years old.

00:12:56.520 At this point in his life, most 80 year olds are well into the process of transferring assets to their kids and their grandkids.

00:13:05.280 And under the tax laws, particularly for someone as rich as Joe Biden, they're trying to get money to their family.

00:13:11.640 So if Joe Biden's business was selling official favors as vice president and using Hunter to do it, it is still bribery.

00:13:22.540 If the 20 million dollars go to his kids and grandkids and his family members and Joe doesn't take it himself.

00:13:28.060 It's still bribery. And it is not materially different than if Joe deposited the whole 20 million dollars in his bank account and then sent it to his kids and grandkids.

00:13:38.140 You're not allowed to sell official favors for millions of dollars to your kids.

00:13:43.140 You're not allowed to sell official favors for millions of dollars to your brother, to your grandkids, to all your relatives. 0.68

00:13:49.240 And so that defense from from the Democrats in the media may be the dumbest of all, because they're saying, no, no, it's not a felony. 0.90

00:13:57.160 It's just a felony. Yeah. Great point. 0.97

00:15:33.160 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:15:39.020 Senator, there's also another problem the White House has.

00:15:42.100 And this is the fact that Joe Biden got really snappy with Peter Doocy over the question about,

00:15:49.960 hey, you know, you were selling access, influence, peddling.

00:15:54.420 He didn't like it.

00:15:55.700 He got angry about that.

00:15:57.600 And then he said, I did not talk to my son about his business dealings. 1.00

00:16:01.080 You know, this is, you asked me a stupid question, right? 0.99

00:16:04.400 He's the way he said, back to Doocy in essence. 1.00

00:16:06.740 And that contradicted the White House press secretary.

00:16:09.580 So, the White House press secretary is saying something very different now.

00:16:12.640 And then over at Fox, Joe Concha said this about the reason why Biden got angry.

00:16:17.380 And here you have the sitting president of the United States answering like a jilted teenager

00:16:21.640 who just got caught cheating on a test.

00:16:24.260 I mean, every reporter that covers Joe Biden should be following up on questions like these

00:16:28.780 every time he provides the opportunity to do so, which is rare.

00:16:32.580 I mean, this is the president who has not held a solo press conference on U.S. soil since November.

00:16:37.820 He simply cannot answer anything outside of a teleprompter.

00:16:40.960 And especially as it pertains to the Biden bribery scandal,

00:16:43.560 which are not going away as long as the GOP controls the House.

00:16:47.300 He's right, by the way.

00:16:48.740 But he simply cannot answer the question, is the other problem with this White House.

00:16:53.040 And now they're contradicting each other.

00:16:54.680 Joe Biden's saying, I never talk business.

00:16:56.400 The White House is saying, well, he was never in business with Hunter Biden.

00:17:00.020 OK, so my question is, then, which one is it, White House?

00:17:03.060 Because now you're literally contradicting the president.

00:17:06.240 The White House press secretary is.

00:17:08.620 Well, it's neither.

00:17:09.900 And you've got to understand that Joe Biden is angry.

00:17:12.760 He's angry that anyone would dare ask him about this.

00:17:15.780 He's angry that he got caught.

00:17:18.060 He's outraged that anyone questions him.

00:17:21.340 That there is a sense of entitlement.

00:17:28.020 Listen, for a vice president of the United States or a president of the United States

00:17:31.560 to endeavor on a business where you're selling official favors for tens of millions of dollars.

00:17:38.540 And it's worth noting, if this were just influence peddling, let me ask you something.

00:17:42.940 Why didn't Hunter get paid by France?

00:17:45.440 Why didn't he get paid by England?

00:17:47.320 Why didn't he get paid by Canada?

00:17:50.280 Why didn't he get paid by their...

00:17:52.080 There are a lot of countries that are our friends, that are our allies.

00:17:54.880 The Italians. 0.76

00:17:55.680 Look, you could get paid by the Italians. 0.81

00:17:58.300 You could go have good Italian meals, some good wine.

00:18:01.040 You could have a Ferrari.

00:18:01.920 He likes fancy sports cars.

00:18:03.100 No, it was none of our friends.

00:18:05.460 They realized where the money is, is selling favors from daddy to our enemies.

00:18:13.440 Selling favors from daddy to the Chinese communists. 0.86

00:18:17.800 Selling favors from daddy to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.

00:18:22.580 It was bad guys.

00:18:25.440 If you're the vice president of the United States and you concoct a scheme to make tens of millions of dollars

00:18:33.240 by having your druggie son sell favors from you, 0.88

00:18:39.880 that reflects an incredible level of cynicism and entitlement.

00:18:44.860 And what you see now when people ask Joe, he gets angry.

00:18:48.960 How dare you ask me that?

00:18:51.220 But what is also amazing is there's not a single elected Democrat who seems to care.

00:18:59.900 They don't care if the president of the United States has taken millions of dollars of bribes

00:19:04.940 from foreign nationals who are enemies.

00:19:06.780 It doesn't matter to them.

00:19:07.900 For most of the corporate media, they do not care.

00:19:11.680 No matter what the facts are, they don't care.

00:19:14.360 Bribery for them is okay.

00:19:16.500 And you may think, well, gosh, don't care is too strong.

00:19:20.460 If they cared, they'd do something about it.

00:19:24.400 If they cared, they'd say something about it.

00:19:27.640 Name a single Democrat senator who said anything.

00:19:32.560 For example, take a listen to Jake Tapper interviewing Elizabeth Warren.

00:19:39.780 I'll ask you, this is not the kind of child you want to talk about, but the adult child,

00:19:45.720 the adult son of President Biden, Hunter Biden, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee

00:19:51.480 say that they have identified more than $20 million in payments from foreign sources

00:19:56.880 to the Biden family, including Hunter Biden and their business associates.

00:20:00.640 So far, we haven't seen any direct evidence pointing to Joe Biden, President Biden, doing anything illegal.

00:20:07.640 And I don't necessarily know what's everything that's in this.

00:20:12.280 But I do wonder on a broader level, the 30,000 foot view of this, people close to Donald,

00:20:20.320 I mean, people close to Joe Biden or people close to Donald Trump, but I'm talking about Joe Biden,

00:20:24.960 making tens of millions of dollars because of their closeness to him.

00:20:30.060 That can't be something that you like.

00:20:31.980 That can't be something that you're comfortable with as a phenomenon.

00:20:36.360 Look, I always worry about the influence peddlers in Washington, regardless of party affiliation.

00:20:45.180 One of the things, as you know, I've spent a lot of my time in Congress working on

00:20:50.400 is how we bring just more ethics and more oversight in general to everything that we do in government.

00:20:59.980 I mean, Senator, that's not answering the question, right?

00:21:02.080 Like saying more oversight, that's her response to that?

00:21:04.760 Give me a break.

00:21:06.640 So let's break that down on multiple fronts.

00:21:09.200 Number one, you finally have CNN mentioning it.

00:21:12.520 That's actually seismic that they even acknowledge that this scandal exists.

00:21:16.580 Can you and I just laugh at a moment about how Jake Tapper,

00:21:19.320 like he's stumbling all over himself.

00:21:21.960 I was dying laughing.

00:21:23.340 It's like he can't even believe he's mentioning it, right?

00:21:26.700 Well, and then what does he say?

00:21:28.720 He says, well, number one, this isn't a child that anyone wants to talk about.

00:21:32.900 Hunter Biden is not a child.

00:21:34.520 He is not a teenager.

00:21:35.960 He is not a kid in trouble. 1.00

00:21:37.440 Hunter Biden is a grown ass man who is a repeat felon who breaks the law. 0.99

00:21:44.380 And you listen to how Jake says it. 0.99

00:21:47.080 Well, there's no evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong.

00:21:49.660 No direct evidence, really?

00:21:50.960 What do you think Devin Archer's testimony was?

00:21:52.780 That's called direct evidence.

00:21:54.960 What do you think the confidential human source who says that Joe Biden solicited and received

00:21:59.680 a $5 million bribe from the Ukrainian oligarch?

00:22:04.760 That's called direct evidence.

00:22:06.440 Testimony of a witness is, in fact, direct evidence.

00:22:09.520 And that's not circumstantial.

00:22:10.840 Now, the evidence may be false, the testimony may be false, but that is direct evidence.

00:22:17.720 You look at what the House Oversight Committee put out.

00:22:21.120 They put out the actual records of the wires of more than $20 million.

00:22:27.440 Notice something else Jake Tapper omitted.

00:22:29.200 When he said more than $20 million, you know what phrase he didn't say?

00:22:32.580 While he was vice president.

00:22:34.700 He omits that.

00:22:35.840 Doesn't mention the time frame at all.

00:22:37.740 This is while he was vice president.

00:22:39.820 From foreign shady sources. 0.99

00:22:44.240 He omits that, too.

00:22:45.780 And, you know, Tapper says, well, there's no evidence of wrongdoing from no direct evidence of wrongdoing from Joe Biden.

00:22:52.420 Well, what did the Biden brother, kid, grandkid, dog?

00:23:00.560 I'm going to start with a crazy proposition.

00:23:03.860 People don't give you $28 million for the heck of it.

00:23:06.780 They don't say, gosh, you know, Ben, I think you're a charming guy.

00:23:10.420 Here's 28 mil.

00:23:11.560 Just just because I like your teeth.

00:23:13.160 Like that's not that's not planet Earth.

00:23:16.120 So there are two potential hypotheses.

00:23:19.360 Number one, the core hypothesis that you and I both believe is true, which is that Joe Biden was selling favors, government favors.

00:23:29.680 And that's what they were paid $28 million to the family for.

00:23:34.640 Or number two, Hunter performs some service which nobody knows and nobody understands and James and the kids and everybody else.

00:23:43.600 And the obvious question is, OK, what what did they do that was worth $28 million?

00:23:50.480 Because if you can't point to anything, then you go back to hypothesis number one, that the only thing possibly worth $28 million were the official favors.

00:23:59.840 And notice how Elizabeth Warren answers it. 0.77

00:24:02.560 She doesn't say, gosh, if Joe Biden took bribes from a foreign national, that's bribery.

00:24:10.500 That's a felony.

00:24:11.600 He should be removed from office.

00:24:13.680 He should be prosecuted.

00:24:14.640 He should go to jail, all of which is unquestionably true.

00:24:18.480 If a government official takes bribes, multimillion dollar bribes from a foreign national, they should go to jail.

00:24:24.760 That did not used to be a debatable proposition.

00:24:28.380 But what does she say?

00:24:29.920 She self-righteously says, well, I've always been concerned with influence peddlers.

00:24:36.160 No, no.

00:24:37.780 Hunter is not selling influence.

00:24:39.380 He's selling favors.

00:24:40.380 And I always think we need more oversight.

00:24:44.640 No, no, she doesn't.

00:24:46.300 Point to me one time in the last two and a half years in which Elizabeth Warren has asked a single witness, a single question about the mounting evidence that the president of the United States took bribes.

00:24:57.560 She doesn't want oversight. 0.97

00:24:59.040 She wants to attack Donald Trump. 1.00

00:25:00.960 She wants no oversight of Joe Biden.

00:25:03.480 She wants no oversight of the corruption and criminality.

00:25:06.700 And that exchange is a perfect example of how Democrats don't care and Jake Tapper doesn't care.

00:25:12.620 Contrast that to his rabid questioning about Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, where he'd get Adam Schiff on there and they'd foam at the mouth about, oh, we've got so much proof.

00:25:22.180 And by the way, all of his proof was nonsense. 0.71

00:25:23.900 It was ridiculous things like the Steele dossier that were completely made up. 0.78

00:25:26.720 But they devoted every waking moment to this.

00:25:30.000 Here, Jake Tapper is sheepishly, well, I guess it doesn't look great to be getting tens of millions from shady oligarchs.

00:25:38.960 But he's a kid.

00:25:39.780 Remember, he's a kid.

00:25:40.680 So therefore, it makes sense.

00:25:41.980 Right.

00:25:42.180 It's not a real crime if it's a kid.

00:25:43.840 That's why I use that.

00:25:44.760 And he does say no one wants to ask this question.

00:25:47.700 Right.

00:25:47.860 Yeah.

00:25:48.220 Yep.

00:25:48.560 Yep.

00:25:48.760 And he says none of us want to ask this question.

00:25:50.920 Well, no, if you were a journalist, you would.

00:25:54.220 Serious evidence that the president of the United States is taking multimillion dollar bribes.

00:25:58.740 A real journalist actually wants to ask that question and actually has a follow up and another follow up and another follow up.

00:26:05.460 You know, what would have happened if Jake Tapper said, Senator Warren, if Joe Biden, in fact, solicited and received millions of dollars of bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch in exchange for official favors when he was vice president of the United States?

00:26:17.880 Should he be impeached?

00:26:19.000 Yes or no.

00:26:20.500 That's actually what a journalist would ask.

00:26:22.680 Yeah.

00:26:22.920 Should he be removed from office?

00:26:24.140 Yes or no.

00:26:24.620 If it's proven that he took bribes, would you vote to convict if it's proven that he solicited and received bribes from a foreign national?

00:26:30.480 Yes or no.

00:26:31.140 Would you vote to convict?

00:26:32.460 The Constitution says the president can be impeached for treason, bribery, other high crimes or misdemeanors.

00:26:37.360 If it's proven that he took a bribe, took a big bribe for official action, would you vote to remove him?

00:26:42.020 Yes or no.

00:26:43.000 Should he be prosecuted?

00:26:44.260 Should he go to jail?

00:26:45.340 Well, those are actually the questions a journalist would ask.

00:26:50.360 The gosh, no one wants to talk about this and it kind of feels icky, doesn't it?

00:26:55.080 That's not a journalist.

00:26:56.320 That's an apologist and propagandist for the regime.

00:27:00.100 Yeah, it's great.

00:27:01.320 Great point.

00:27:02.380 I want to ask you one other thing about these.

00:27:04.120 The possibility now we're being told that Biden family members are going to be subpoenaed by the House.

00:27:11.680 We'll have more on that in a second.

00:27:12.680 But first, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

00:27:14.580 If you are sick and tired of giving your money to woke companies that actually fight against your values, well, then you need to make the switch.

00:27:21.840 The only Christian conservative cell phone provider in the country, a company that gives you amazing coverage, nationwide coverage on all three major networks.

00:27:31.800 So you get the best possible service in your area, period, without the woke propaganda being pushed by leftists working hard to destroy this country.

00:27:39.720 You may not realize that the cell phone provider you have right now is actually could be giving massive donations to Planned Parenthood.

00:27:46.200 Yes, that happens.

00:27:47.660 Big Mobile gives big money to leftist causes all the time.

00:27:52.140 So if you're ready to stand with a company that stands with your values, a company that actually takes a portion of your bill every month, and they give it back to organizations that support free speech, that support religious freedom, that support the sanctity of life, support the Second Amendment, support our military veterans and first responders, switch to Patriot Mobile.

00:28:12.540 Call them, 8-7-8-PATRIOT.

00:28:15.940 You can keep your same cell phone number, keep your same cell phone you have right now, or you can upgrade to a newer phone.

00:28:22.600 8-7-8-PATRIOT.

00:28:24.220 That's 8-7-8-PATRIOT.

00:28:38.180 Senator Maria Bartiromo had this to say about this new plan from James Comer to subpoena Joe and Hunter Biden and documents.

00:28:47.880 Take a listen.

00:28:49.160 Welcome back.

00:28:49.840 Moments ago, Kentucky Congressman and Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, told me that the House Oversight Committee is planning to subpoena President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in the influence-peddling case.

00:29:02.020 How significant is that going to be?

00:29:04.520 Well, I assume Hunter Biden will plead the fifth.

00:29:08.180 And so they'll subpoena him, and he may or may not show up.

00:29:13.420 He might defy the subpoena.

00:29:15.480 If he defies the subpoena, I expect the House will vote to hold him in contempt.

00:29:20.520 If the House votes to hold him in contempt, I am certain that the Biden Justice Department will refuse to prosecute the contempt finding.

00:29:27.620 So he will either refuse to show up and have the Biden DOJ cover for him, or he'll show up and say,

00:29:33.400 I plead the fifth, I plead the fifth, I plead the fifth.

00:29:35.200 I think the chances that Hunter Biden actually answers questions in front of the House are 0.0%.

00:29:41.420 And given the massive criminal liability Hunter Biden faces, that's actually probably what any decent criminal lawyer would tell him, is you cannot testify under oath when you're facing an ongoing criminal investigation.

00:29:55.440 Joe Biden, I think the chances, again, are 100% that he would refuse to comply with a subpoena, that they would fight it, they would say he's not testifying, and he's not going to answer questions.

00:30:07.960 So both of those, I think, are not going to succeed.

00:30:11.440 It's fine to do it.

00:30:12.560 It's fine to have that battle.

00:30:14.200 But in terms of actually getting evidence and testimony, I think Eric Schwerin, we talked about in the last podcast, if you didn't listen to Wednesday's podcast, you should.

00:30:24.820 It lays out.

00:30:26.020 He was the other business partner, along with Hunter and Devin Archer.

00:30:29.260 He was Joe Biden's money guy.

00:30:31.900 That, I think, could be a very fruitful witness.

00:30:34.920 I think we need to have a hearing, a public hearing under oath.

00:30:38.520 By the way, Devin Archer needs to testify publicly.

00:30:40.680 At this point, he's only testified behind closed doors at a deposition.

00:30:44.180 But nobody's actually seen him.

00:30:45.400 Nobody's actually heard him among the public.

00:30:47.840 That needs to happen.

00:30:49.300 David Weiss, the U.S. attorney, who is accused of covering up and obstructing the investigation into Hunter Biden and protecting Joe Biden.

00:31:00.040 He needs to testify.

00:31:01.480 I think Merrick Garland needs to testify.

00:31:03.860 And the allegations from the IRS whistleblowers.

00:31:06.520 Pause for a second and think.

00:31:08.340 We had just a few weeks ago two senior career officials at the IRS testify to multiple felonies from the Attorney General of the United States.

00:31:16.820 There have been so many other accusations and so much more evidence has come out that people have almost forgotten that. 0.96

00:31:23.360 That's how much crap is coming out on a daily basis. 0.97

00:31:26.580 And yet all reporters want to talk about is Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. 0.99

00:31:30.500 And by the way, when we see next week, when we see in Atlanta, them indict the Atlanta prosecutor indict Trump yet a fourth time.

00:31:37.880 And I think that is very likely to happen.

00:31:40.520 That again will be the excuse for all the Democrats and all the corrupt corporate media to talk even less about the allegations against Joe Biden.

00:31:49.000 Because the only topic they want to discuss is Trump, Trump, Trump and the latest indictment.

00:31:55.680 I want to tell you real quick about an amazing product that can help clean the air in your home or your office.

00:32:01.680 It's called EnviroCleanse.

00:33:27.580 Senator, one last question from this report that came out from the House side.

00:33:32.520 And it specifically deals with China.

00:33:35.560 And I want to read from this.

00:33:37.200 It says the committee is concerned about the information revealed in these bank records,

00:33:42.240 including, number one, why the Chinese energy company waited less than two months after Vice President Biden left public office to send $3 million wire.

00:33:51.760 Number two, why the Robinson Walker LLC account received the China company's payment instead of the Biden family members' companies.

00:34:00.100 And three, why the payments to the Biden family members were structured in incremental payments to different bank accounts.

00:34:07.380 Number four, what services the Biden family members provided to the Chinese company and when the purported services were provided.

00:34:16.040 And five, why Howie Biden publicly reported to work as a school counselor received money from Robinson Walker LLC.

00:34:25.320 And six, who the account holder is for the bank account entitled Biden.

00:34:30.540 That's the mysterious Biden.

00:34:31.680 We don't know yet.

00:34:32.780 They say, we hope our Democratic colleagues will join us in addressing these important issues.

00:34:38.220 Now, this obviously has national security implications.

00:34:41.340 You have a president and then a vice president and family members receiving millions of dollars from foreign nationals and companies without any oversight.

00:34:50.840 You have the Chinese communist government that owns some of these companies are sending direct payments into these bank accounts and multiple bank accounts that are all being funneled into the Biden family business.

00:35:02.420 How concerned are you from a national security standpoint now that the Bidens are truly compromised, not just in China, but maybe even in Russia, Ukraine, other places around the world?

00:35:13.220 So I'm very concerned.

00:35:14.620 We have a pattern that we know Joe Biden has been willing to engage in questionable official activity.

00:35:21.980 And I believe the evidence is more and more compelling every day that he was selling official favors.

00:35:26.940 We know, for example, because Joe Biden has admitted it in a televised interview, that he held over a billion dollars in federal loan guarantees to the government of Ukraine hostage in order to force the government of Ukraine to fire Victor Shokin, the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma and the oligarch that owned it.

00:35:44.180 We know that we know that because Biden's admitted to.

00:35:46.440 We also know that as president, Biden sold over a million barrels of oil from America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve designed to protect our national security in times of crisis, sold it to China and in particular sold oil to a Chinese company that his son, Hunter Biden, had been in business with.

00:36:07.400 We know that he did that.

00:36:08.940 And as we've talked about in this podcast just two weeks ago, I passed legislation on the floor of the Senate to prohibit the federal government from selling any oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China or Russia or North Korea or Iran.

00:36:22.780 That passed with a big bipartisan vote.

00:36:24.660 But we know Joe Biden has already done it and already sold it to China.

00:36:28.180 And we also know what was in Hunter Biden's WhatsApp text, where he again threatened official conduct.

00:36:37.620 And I want to revisit that text for a second.

00:36:39.640 This was sent to a prominent Chinese businessman and Communist Party official.

00:36:44.680 Here's what Hunter allegedly sent in the text.

00:36:47.180 Quote, I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.

00:36:54.340 Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand.

00:36:58.720 And now means tonight.

00:37:01.100 And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman,

00:37:07.060 I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me, i.e. Joe Biden, and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.

00:37:18.840 I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.

00:37:24.820 Now, once again, Hunter is threatening official retribution.

00:37:29.700 He's saying, Dad will punish you if you don't pay me millions of dollars.

00:37:36.460 Given that pattern, I think there is a lot of reason to be concerned that Joe's official conduct towards China, towards Ukraine, towards Russia, towards enemies of America has been significantly compromised by this bribery scheme, which is what the evidence is building towards.

00:38:02.060 I think this is an issue that should concern anyone worried about America's national security.

00:38:07.420 On top of the fact that we're also hearing rumblings that more financial bank records are going to come out with possibly more payments coming into the Bidens.

00:38:14.500 We're going to cover all of it here on Verdict.
