00:01:43.280Is he open to allowing the FBI to search the documents from his tenure in the Senate?
00:01:50.080Mind you, he just made public that, oh crap, he had classified documents from his tenure in the Senate that were at his house in Wilmington.
00:02:01.660The University of Delaware has over 1,850 boxes of documents from his Senate tenure.
00:02:11.640Now, listen, if he had classified documents at his house, it's reasonable to ask where there are classified documents in those files.
00:02:23.440I believe the FBI will search those files.
00:02:38.880And I actually want to make clear, I think it's not just the files at the University of Delaware.
00:02:46.320I think it is critical that the FBI search Hunter Biden's home and his office locations, given the enormous evidence of corruption involving Hunter Biden
00:03:03.120and Joe Biden, involving Hunter Biden, selling access to Joe Biden when he was vice president, involving Hunter Biden being paid millions of dollars from Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company,
00:03:18.340and millions of dollars from companies funded by the Chinese communist government.
00:03:25.460At the same time that Hunter Biden, we know, was in his father's Corvette, he has pictures out on the Internet of him driving his father's Corvette, which was parked, we now know, and it is admitted, next to classified documents.
00:03:48.000The FBI needs to search and investigate to determine whether there are any classified documents at Hunter Biden's home or business.
00:03:59.100And by the way, the next question someone might ask is, OK, well, what is the probable cause to search Hunter Biden's home or business?
00:04:11.160And they there may or may not be probable cause if you had to go to a court and get a warrant for that search, you'd have to lay out the case.
00:04:20.760But the question that should be asked tomorrow to Corrine Jean-Pierre is, does Hunter Biden object to an FBI search of his home and business?
00:04:37.620Because if there's no objection, the FBI can do it.
00:04:42.080Now, if he objects, that tells you something.
00:04:44.880And notice she wouldn't even answer if Joe Biden, the sitting president, objects to the search of his own Senate documents.
00:04:58.680And I believe if at the end of the day, we discover that these classified documents relate to the corruption of the Biden family, then we are facing real and material criminal charges.
00:05:18.180But at the same time, the the Biden, FBI and DOJ, which leaks on every damn thing you can imagine related to Donald Trump, has been locked like a steel drum on this.
00:05:31.140So we know nothing about what's in these documents.
00:05:34.120We need to know we need to search the University of Delaware documents and we need to search Hunter Biden's home and office.
00:06:13.200And I want to ask you also about the other family members.
00:06:16.160The one thing that the Bidens love to do was share office space center.
00:06:20.800Before I get your take on that, I want to remind everybody about Patriot Mobile.
00:06:25.180If you're a conservative and you're tired of giving your money to companies that don't stand up for your values and your beliefs, then you need to check out Patriot Mobile.
00:06:34.400Because of the only conservative Christian cell phone company in the U.S.
00:06:38.040They have nationwide coverage, the same exact coverage you have right now.
00:06:42.760In fact, they're using the same towers that your cell phone's using right now.
00:06:46.480Except when you pay your bill, you're actually advocating and supporting conservative causes that stand up for the First and Second Amendment right, the rights for the unborn and helping people with adoptions.
00:07:01.100If you've never checked out Patriot Mobile, whether it's for you and your family or a business or a small business, check them out.
00:07:08.280And every time you use your phone, you're going to be standing up for what you believe in.
00:07:15.160Use the promo code VERDICT and you'll get the best deals of the day.
00:07:18.620Plus, you can keep your same cell phone number and many times your same cell phone.
00:07:22.200Senator, there's one thing that the Biden family really loves to do, and that is to co-mingle office space.
00:07:39.320We have the emails from Hunter Biden's laptop that talk about having keys made for shady Chinese communist individuals who were with CEFE.
00:07:51.280We know that they were wanting keys not only for Joe Biden, but for Hunter Biden, for Joe Biden, and for Jimmy.
00:07:58.480James Biden, when you look at the University of Delaware in these documents, knowing that right after he left the White House, they were co-mingling office space.
00:08:09.840Aren't there maybe even other locations that the FBI should be asking questions about now and who took what documents where?
00:08:16.800Because we also know that documents had to be stored somewhere before they went to the Biden Center.
00:08:21.180There's a significant chunk of time where those documents had to be somewhere else.
00:08:25.720Where were they kept before then, the classified documents?
00:08:29.040And then those documents in his garage, where all had they been?
00:08:32.920Had they been to Jimmy's office or to Hunter's office or to Jill's office, for that matter?
00:08:38.760So, look, I think those are all very reasonable questions.
00:08:41.940If you had a DOJ and an FBI that were investigating this seriously and with a nonpartisan focus, they would ask those questions.
00:08:53.200You know, I'll say also, so we had a big headline that broke today, which is classified documents were discovered at Mike Pence's home address.
00:09:04.360And the press went into a bit of a tizzy on this.
00:09:07.260Now, I will say I think there's a pretty significant difference between the Pence situation and the Biden situation.
00:09:14.400Pence, and look, this was responsible, this was prudent, went on a search of whatever documents were at his home residence when this happened to say, OK, let's make sure I don't have anything.
00:09:29.140Now, what Pence has done is he's put out a public explanation, which is he said that when he had staff packing up his office files in the office of the vice president, that inadvertently there were some classified documents that were put in the boxes along with unclassified documents.
00:12:29.600We have that famous video of him now just talking about how, you know, I was in charge of the Ukraine gig, basically in charge of everything going from the U.S. to Ukraine.
00:12:41.040He said, I got all the good jobs, the good assignments when he was vice president.
00:12:44.580And then he bragged about having that prosecutor fired that was actually investigating his son's company with corruption in Ukraine.
00:12:52.280He loves to brag about these types of things.
00:12:55.540Well, you go back now and there's been some unearthing of how he has dealt with classified information when he was in the Senate.
00:13:04.780We also know that some of the documents found at his home in Delaware were from his time in the Senate, which at the bare minimum means they're 14 plus years old at the youngest.
00:13:15.960Some of these could easily be 30, 40 years old.
00:13:18.320He's been a public official now for literally 50 years.
00:13:21.700But he apparently openly bragged about classified information and leaking it all the way back in 1986 in an interview that he did.
00:13:34.200He did an interview in 1986 where he said, quote, he twice threatened to go public with covert action plans by the Reagan administration that he believed were, quote, harebrained.
00:14:56.820He said, quote, after my father was out of office, he shared to me that Senator Joe Biden confronted him and told him that if he disagreed with my father on a covert action, he had planned he would leak it to the media to stop it.
00:15:15.840Now, let me be clear, leaking a classified document to the media is a felony.
00:15:22.400Literally, this is Joe Biden bragging.
00:15:24.560I will commit a felony because I don't like your foreign policy.
00:15:28.120So going back 40 years, Joe Biden has had a cavalier attitude towards classified documents.
00:15:39.340Now, there's a rich irony that he preened self-righteously when the Biden FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, where he said, well, for him to have classified documents in a locked closet, that was irresponsible.
00:15:58.120And, of course, Corrine John B. Hare, who you played at the outset of this podcast, when she was asked a few days ago, was it irresponsible for Joe Biden to do the exact same thing?
00:16:12.480She promptly said, to quote Monty Python, run away!
00:16:19.780Yeah, it's it is truly it's stunning to see how this White House has done everything they can just for the narrative to screw this up.
00:16:29.540And you're seeing this now and we're watching this really play out where the White House doesn't know which way is up.
00:16:37.420The president has basically lost total control of this narrative.
00:16:42.480And now you have, I think, two big storylines.
00:16:47.680You have the storyline, which is the FBI is now kind of having to do their job.
00:16:51.960And you also have the other storyline, which is undermining this White House as well, that the top level FBI individuals.
00:16:58.480We just saw this top FBI official charged with violating Russian sanctions.
00:17:03.200He was apparently making decisions in the Carter Page investigation.
00:17:07.020They've got now problems all over the place.
00:17:09.700Even NBC News talked about this on the news.
00:17:13.980I mean, it was it was a shocking moment for me.
00:17:16.740They're having to cover documents that are classified at multiple residents and maybe at other offices and maybe with other searches.
00:17:25.020And they're having to admit that a former top FBI official was charged with violating Russian sanctions, who was also making decisions on spying on Donald Trump.
00:17:33.980This may be the worst week in history for the FBI and the Democratic Party of actually all of the chickens coming home to roost at the same exact time.
00:17:44.240Well, let me just say, wait till next week.
00:17:52.260Senator, I want you to give an important update that's going to have a huge impact on our men and women in uniform when it comes to the vaccine mandate.
00:18:23.860Their difference, because they even tell you if a gold IRA isn't your answer.

00:19:36.420More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:19:40.580And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk Podcast.
00:19:43.700I want to ask you about another issue, and this one is something that's really important.
00:20:10.920You've been fighting for quite some time about getting reinstated.
00:20:18.960Men and women in our military who were kicked out for not getting the vaccine.
00:20:24.360We've also now seen that they're going to recommend or have recommended,
00:20:28.300oh, you should just get the COVID vaccine annually.
00:20:30.860If you're older, you should get two shots a year.
00:20:32.880If you're children, you should get two shots a year.
00:20:34.680So we want to put this on the regular schedule for everybody.
00:20:37.040So when you're getting your flu shot, and hell, we might even do, quote,
00:20:40.160an experiment and put them together in one shot.
00:20:43.380And yet men and women stood up, lost their jobs.
00:20:46.780Some of them are even having to pay back their bonuses that they received while serving our country.
00:20:51.820And you and other senators and members of the House now are fighting really hard to try to make sure that these men and women are reinstated in the military.
00:21:02.680My question is, and so many other American senators, who are in their right mind would hold this up?
00:21:08.920Because we also didn't hit our recruiting goals in our military this last year.
00:21:12.780We desperately need these people back in uniform.
00:21:20.620There were a lot of policies over the last two years on COVID that were utterly indefensible.
00:21:26.800You saw the Biden administration shutting down small businesses, shutting down schools, sending millions of kids home and denying them an education.
00:21:35.740You saw the Biden administration trying to fire federal employees, trying to force private employers to fire their employees if they didn't get a COVID vaccine.
00:21:47.900Of all of all of the policies, and every one of those was outrageous, it was an abuse of power, it was wrong.
00:21:54.780But of all of the policies, I'm not sure any was more outrageous than the Biden administration firing thousands upon thousands of active duty military men and women because they made the personal decision not to get the COVID vaccine.
00:22:13.940Some of them made it for religious reasons, others made it for personal health reasons, but thousands upon thousands of active duty military members were fired by Joe Biden eagerly, aggressively, proudly.
00:22:31.480By the way, the guy in charge of the COVID policy in the White House is the new Biden chief of staff, Jeff Zients.
00:22:38.720So they embraced these policies from the day they were announced.
00:22:53.580I've led the fight in the Senate against the Biden COVID vaccine mandates.
00:22:58.700On the military front, we won a big, a huge victory last month when Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act and it, by statute, explicitly rescinded, it repealed the Biden vaccine mandate in the military.
00:23:46.920But unfortunately, the price the Democrats extracted is the repeal was prospective only, which means going forward tomorrow, no active duty military members will be fired for not getting the COVID vaccine.
00:24:04.060But it did absolutely nothing for the thousands.
00:24:15.500The Biden administration refuses to answer this question.
00:24:19.100At a minimum, it is thousands of active duty military members who were fired, who were terminated, who were removed from the military.
00:24:28.120And the legislation we passed last month provides no relief for them.
00:24:33.920I filed this week legislation, I'm calling it the Americans Act, that gives them relief.
00:24:41.220So if you're an active duty serviceman or woman and you were terminated from the military, you would have a right to return to the military, return at your original rank, return at the same level of benefits, get your benefits back, go back to serving our nation.
00:25:01.200If the mandate is wrong, if the mandate is wrong, if the mandate is wrong, then it shouldn't just be wrong today.
00:25:07.720It should have been wrong yesterday and a year ago when these people were being fired.
00:25:12.640And beyond that, there are also thousands of servicemen and women who had their ranks reduced.
00:25:22.680My legislation provides that if you had your rank reduced, you get your rank restored and you get back pay.
00:25:31.100And beyond that, there are some servicemen and women who were fired who may make a determination, say, look, I've got a job in the private sector.
00:25:39.120I've moved on. I don't want to go back to the military.
00:25:41.180OK, if you don't want to go back, we're not going to make you.
00:25:43.080But those individuals, my legislation would provide that they get an honorable discharge, not just a general discharge, which ensures that they get the benefits they have earned by defending this nation.
00:25:57.020And I'll tell you this, to every soldier, every sailor, every airman, every Marine, every Coast Guardsman, I'm going to keep fighting for you until you are taken care of, until justice is served.
00:26:18.040Because it is wrong that Democrats did this.
00:26:21.640And by the way, one of the big reasons, Ben, that Biden and the Democrats did this, I believe they are engaging in a purge, a purge of the military.
00:26:32.420They want to get rid of conservatives.
00:26:34.580They want to get rid of independent thinking.
00:26:37.400I was going to ask you that because there's so many people, Senator, that think this was exactly what you just described.
00:27:07.920They are trying to persecute and drive out of public service anyone who is conservative.
00:27:17.320They want only left wing sheep who will obey their orders to serve in the government.
00:27:24.620And it is one of the most it's part of the reason they have dug in so hard on these mandates as they view it as an enormous political opportunity.
00:27:34.440I want to ask you, who is it that is going to basically hold this up now?
00:27:38.960I understand the politics of it, you know, a year ago, two years ago.
00:27:47.760There are new members of the House, obviously, new members of the Senate.
00:27:52.580And there would have been no way this could have happened, I think, two years ago, a year ago, etc.
00:27:57.400Is there but now and we've seen this in polling among the American people on issues like COVID and vaccine mandates.
00:28:04.320The majority of Americans are against them.
00:28:06.400So who is it that's going to really hold this up?
00:28:09.280Where does the pressure need to go now?
00:28:10.920So, number one, every Democrat, every Democrat is happy to vote for the vaccine mandates, is happy to leave these thousands of American heroes, of servicemen and women.
00:28:22.220I've met with Navy SEALs who spent years, decades fighting to defend this country, who were fired because they made a personal decision not to get a COVID vaccine.
00:28:35.500Every single Senate Democrat is happy to stand with firing those servicemen and women.
00:28:43.580And sadly, there are a handful of Republicans who are willing to do so as well.
00:28:49.440I'm going to tell you, I'm going to keep leading this fight, particularly at a time, as you noted, when we are having massive shortfalls in military recruiting.
00:29:01.000We need to bring back American heroes.
00:29:03.160Because we've got Navy SEALs ready to defend this nation, and these idiot ideologues won't let them back into the military.
00:31:02.560If you're a healthy 24-year-old man who's a Navy SEAL, it may well have made sense for you to say, I don't need the vaccine.
00:31:13.780COVID's not going to be that serious for me, and I'm concerned about the downsides.
00:31:17.040By the way, if you're a 12-year-old child, I think the argument is really powerful that it didn't make sense for you to get the vaccine because COVID with young children has been so relatively mild.
00:31:33.540Higher death rate of the flu every year for children than of actual COVID.
00:31:37.660So why would you take that big risk on someone that's so long and based on life expectancy has so many years to live?
00:31:45.900I mean, even in my own house, everybody in my house had a different COVID vaccine experience.
00:31:53.120My dad went in the hospital, and he almost died.
00:31:56.760He came out, and he actually, and this is pre-vaccine, and he came out.
00:32:01.060He was on oxygen for three and a half, almost four months.
00:32:06.160My mom, who is a cancer survivor, has a low immune system, has gone through hell with cancer treatment.
00:32:12.180She had basically a cough the same week, COVID, that my dad had.
00:32:16.200He went into the hospital for weeks on end, and still, he said it when he was here today because I think it took years off my life going through that.
00:32:25.340I went to my doctors and said, hey, I have my dad's DNA.
00:33:26.160But you look at the decisions that were made by families.
00:33:29.240My decision was different than my wife's based on my medical history, based on my DNA, based on my chart.
00:33:37.300And then with my kids, it was a hell no because they were so young.
00:33:41.620And again, the risk-reward factor here.
00:33:44.280The Democratic Party and people that you, including Mitt Romney, who think that they should be able to make medical decisions for you that affect how you pay for your kids, the medical care you get later.
00:33:56.880And that's one part here that you mentioned earlier that I think we should just remind people.
00:34:00.540If you are discharged not honorably, it changes your lifetime benefits that can affect the medical treatment that you and your children receive.
00:34:34.760I believe it's your right to make that decision.
00:34:38.120And I think Joe Biden and the Democrats were immoral, firing thousands upon thousands of active duty military heroes, American heroes, because they refused to comply with their arbitrary dictate.
00:35:23.520She decided to talk about the Declaration of Independence in a pro-abortion speech, saying that all Americans are endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
00:35:37.280But she left out a key word, and I'm sure most people are going to know which word it is.
00:36:36.940Yes, look, as you know, there are very few things that I hold more dear to my heart than the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, than the protections of our fundamental liberties.
00:36:53.960And to listen to her, that embodies both the ignorance of the modern Democrat Party, but also the utter contempt for our rights.
00:37:06.140So the words that Thomas Jefferson, at age 33, penned in the Declaration, and I'm not reading these, we hold these truths to be self-evident.
00:38:13.480So if you look at John Locke, the British philosopher, he had posited for years, and beautifully, and the founders were all very familiar with John Locke,
00:38:23.640that the natural rights of all people were life, liberty, and property.
00:38:28.780Those were usually the triumvirate, life, liberty, and property.
00:38:33.120When it came to the Declaration, they contemplated including life, liberty, and property.
00:38:37.840The reason they excluded the word property is because Jefferson did not want to embrace in the Declaration a word that could be used to justify slavery.
00:38:52.000And there's an irony to this, and listen, there were ironies in our nation's history.
00:38:58.260Good and extraordinary men who fought for justice and freedom and equality were also inexplicably slaveholders.
00:39:09.220The man who penned the words, we hold these rights to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, was a slaveholder.
00:39:18.220I don't know how you write those words while owning slaves.
00:39:21.760That is a discontinuity that is difficult to understand.
00:39:28.200But the reason that the word property was omitted from that and replaced with pursuit of happiness was because Jefferson and the other people who wrote the Declaration did not want language in there that was seen as a defense of slavery.
00:39:45.420For Kamala Harris, number one, okay, listen, I served with Kamala.
00:39:53.540She has no idea what's in the Declaration of Independence.
00:39:57.020I feel certain if somebody pointed a TV camera at you and said, I will give you $1 million today if you can quote what the Declaration says about the truths that are self-evident.
00:40:12.880I think the chances are 0.0% she could answer that.
00:42:22.840And by the way, look, Kamala is part of the same Democrat Party that just voted a couple of weeks ago against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act,
00:42:34.600against legislation that would say that if in the course of an abortion a child is born, the child is alive, the child is breathing, the child is outside the womb,
00:42:45.100so you have an infant, you can't kill the infant, you can't allow the infant to die.
00:42:51.700You must save the infant if the child is born.
00:42:57.580Virtually every single Democrat in the House of Representatives voted against that legislation.
00:43:04.200In normal circles, how do you explain that?
