00:08:06.640What is missing from from these charges is anything about Burisma, anything about Ukraine, anything about China,
00:08:14.760anything about diverting funds, anything about money laundering, anything about selling official influence, anything about bribery.
00:08:23.340Look, we've discussed in the past couple of weeks, the whistleblower came forward and says that there is credible evidence that Joe Biden personally received.
00:08:32.280First, it was a five million dollar, that it may be a 10 million dollar bribe from senior officials at Burisma.
00:08:38.200That's why the public should care about this.
00:08:41.200Now, of course, the Democrats won't acknowledge that exists.
00:08:44.520The media won't acknowledge that exists, at least not the corporate media.
00:08:47.640They are thrilled to say, well, now it's over.
00:08:52.640Everything concerning Hunter Biden is resolved.
00:09:05.120It is this Department of Justice willfully does not want to examine the very direct and the growing evidence of Joe Biden's direct corruption.
00:09:19.020Senator, I want to talk about the media's response to this.
00:09:22.340It has been truly laughable watching how much the media was willing to cover this breaking news story that, you know, Hunter Biden has is reached a plea deal.
00:09:37.380They covered it for minutes on in more coverage than they have ever given to the story beforehand.
00:09:46.480But before we get to that, let me tell you about our friends, Augusta Precious Metals.
00:09:49.860I love hearing from many of you that actually deal with the companies we talk about.
00:09:54.400And Augusta Precious Metals is an incredible company that will sit down with you and help you understand how you can protect your money with a gold IRA.
00:10:04.120They are an amazing company that do business differently.
00:10:08.420They will actually do a one-on-one conference with you.
00:10:12.180Doesn't cost you a dime to talk about how gold can help you protect your hard-earned dollars.
00:10:17.640To see if a gold IRA is an answer for you to protect your assets.
00:12:07.900And they're willing to have Hunter Biden play the scapegoat to a small extent.
00:12:14.200So he pleads guilty but serves no jail time.
00:12:17.760So he pleads guilty and gets a slap on the wrist.
00:12:20.020But importantly, they say, OK, it's all done.
00:12:22.400And mind you, these networks, they didn't cover in the last couple of weeks the accusation from the whistleblower that a confidential informant had told the FBI that Joe Biden had personally taken a $5 million bribe from a senior Ukrainian Burisma official.
00:12:42.520It didn't make the six o'clock news on any major network.
00:12:45.820They didn't cover when Chuck Grassley went to the floor of the Senate and said there were 17 different phone recordings, audio recordings of this senior official at Burisma talking, 15 of them with Hunter Biden, two of them with Joe Biden.
00:13:15.320Because this is the best way to insulate Joe Biden.
00:13:19.220I promise you tomorrow, anyone who brings up anything about Joe Biden's corruption with Hunter Biden, they're going to say, been there, done that.
00:14:32.300Those comments will undoubtedly come under fresh scrutiny.
00:14:35.140Now, of course, this does come about a week after former President Trump pled not guilty to 37 counts that he mishandled classified documents.
00:14:52.980When they're breaking this news that Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on tax charges and a misdemeanor thing with a gun thing that it's going to go away.
00:15:21.400This is all about protecting the big guy.
00:15:24.940And and look, I get why the White House is doing that.
00:15:27.540That's actually fairly natural political instincts is protect your guy.
00:15:31.280But why is the Department of Justice acting like the DNC's lawyers in this?
00:15:37.860I mean, this is disgraceful that this is if you care about the rule of law, if you care about DOJ prosecuting crimes fairly and evenly, regardless of party, you ought to be really upset at this because this is all about Merrick Garland pretending to be even handed while he's acting as the political henchman for Joe Biden.
00:15:59.940So you look at the timestamp here and you and I were texting, obviously, when the story broke.
00:16:06.220NBC News broke in for their special report.
00:16:09.640They went eight minutes in 43 seconds.
00:16:12.680Now, we're trying to get the exact number, but it looks like they spent more time covering Hunter Biden today than they may have dealt with this story in breaking news for the last since the laptop ever.
00:16:50.620We need to cover this like this is massive breaking news.
00:16:53.800Because, you know, what their favorite two words were, what the media said over and over and over again on station after station, their favorite two words today were wraps up, wraps up.
00:17:03.840This wraps up the investigation, wraps it up, wraps it up, all wrapped up, all wrapped up.
00:17:43.740And meanwhile, when they go to break, you know, they're laughing and high fiving each other because they're like, we just got away with it again.
00:18:02.140This podcast has more viewers than CNN.
00:18:05.200The listeners who are downloading this, that's the power that every one of you who downloads this, and every one of you, by the way, let me emphasize, that shares it with your friends, that tells.
00:18:29.540The reason why this podcast every week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, keeps growing and growing and growing is because you can't get actual information about what's happening many other places.
00:18:44.800And there's always, when a big story like this breaks, Senator, there's an X factor that comes out of these where you didn't see this happening.
00:18:52.400I didn't see this happening until it was happening in real time today.
00:18:56.080And that was the racial aspect of this.
00:18:59.380There was outrage from many African-American leaders and many African-American defendants who have gone to prison and done real hard time for the same crimes that Hunter Biden was accused of and now has done this plea deal with.
00:19:17.820Some of the headlines that were put out, a 22-year-old had pled guilty to weapons charges stemming from his arrest just before a scheduled concert performance in May.
00:19:26.500A rapper, Kodiak Black, got over three years in prison in a weapons case.
00:19:31.320Lil Wayne, another artist, pled guilty to federal gun charges.
00:19:35.100The rapper will be sentenced in January and face up to 10 years in prison.
00:19:38.760Another one, Meek Mill, arrested in Philadelphia on gun charges.
00:19:42.100That one back in 2008, going to prison 11 to 23 months.
00:19:48.820The rapper will serve 28 months in addition to two years for a weapons charge.
00:19:53.680Fat Joe, another singer, sentenced to prison for tax evasion.
00:19:58.100Rapper faces four months and a fifth in jail and a $15,000 fine.
00:20:03.380Now, many of the people I just mentioned were not accused of the severity of the crimes that Hunter Biden was when it came to the amount of taxes owed, for example.
00:20:17.740And this started a trend on social media.
00:20:20.400When I say there's always an X factor out of stories, I don't think anyone saw that initial reaction.
00:20:24.960But there were lawyers speaking out today.
00:20:26.980There were community activists speaking out today saying, let me get this straight.
00:20:30.380This guy, because his dad is the president, he's white, he doesn't go to jail.
00:20:36.860But many, many African-American men, minority men, have gone to jail for doing less than what he was accused of and done real hard time.
00:20:45.720Hunter Biden will not spend one second in jail.
00:20:49.440I don't think the White House even saw that reaction coming.
00:20:52.180Well, look, there is a sense of entitlement that this double standard is fully baked in to every political operative at the White House, to the political cronies running DOJ.
00:21:04.700Listen, Hunter Biden on the tax front, he willfully, and he pleaded guilty to this, willfully failed to pay taxes on $1.2 million in 2017 and 2018.
00:21:43.240And it was discarded in a dumpster by a school by his brother's, his deceased brother's wife, with whom Hunter Biden was having an intimate affair.
00:21:57.660And she threw it out in the dumpster where any kid could have grabbed the gun and shot himself, shot another kid.
00:22:06.060Look, if you or I do this, listen, Ben, you own a gun store.
00:22:55.140There should be no leeway on these types of things.
00:22:57.820Yet because he was, again, the vice president's son, right?
00:23:03.000And there's also the other shitty part of the story.
00:23:05.660Owning a gun store, you know this part of the story well.
00:23:07.920Apparently, Secret Service agents went into that gun store trying to get the paperwork from that gun transaction after the gun was thrown in the dumpster.
00:24:02.300It shall be unlawful for any person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance to ship or transport or receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported to interstate or foreign commerce.
00:25:02.860They are getting mad because they recognize, gosh, you know, it reminds me of, you know, Mel Brooks' History of the World where he would say, it's good to be the king.
00:25:14.120Well, it's good to be the president's son, apparently.
00:25:18.440By the way, let me point out, and we said this on one of our most recent podcasts, all of the lefties who went on TV and said, no man is above the law.
00:27:03.520But first, let me tell you about Chalk.
00:27:04.960If you're a guy and you're dealing with the real issue of getting older, and you're sick and tired of feeling like you're just fatigued, that you are tired, well, you're not alone.
00:27:16.420Testosterone levels have fallen off a cliff historically, and that is why I want you to know about Chalk.
00:27:25.760They help real men just like you get back to that strength and vitality that you used to have.
00:27:32.500They help you boost your testosterone levels up to 20% over 90 days.
00:27:37.960Now, I've been taking the Chalk male vitality stack, and I can tell you it works.
00:27:42.200If you're sick and tired of that fatigue, of just feeling kind of lazy, just not feeling like yourself, go to Chalk, C-H-O-Q.com, and maximize your masculinity today.
00:30:33.740And I went on to say, you could have video of Joe Biden murdering children at midnight under a full moon, dressed as the devil, and singing Pat Benatar.
00:30:49.400And the Democrats still would not vote to convict.
00:30:52.400Now, amusingly enough, Ben, the lefties lost their minds, but they didn't dispute the underlying point that the Democrats didn't care about the facts, would never vote to convict Joe Biden, didn't care what he was guilty of.
00:31:19.780Okay, this began trending on Twitter, that I said Pat Benatar, and lefties, it's very funny, they're very territorial, they guard culture, you're not allowed to reference pop culture.
00:31:34.100And actually, Pat Benatar responded to me, who the heck knew Pat Benatar would ever respond a little on me, I was fairly surprised.
00:31:41.900Okay, hold on, I missed that, what did Pat say, because I totally missed this, this is awesome.
00:31:45.780So she posted on, I think it was Facebook, and she just said, nice try.
00:31:51.040And I don't know, one of the lefty papers said, Pat Benatar burns Cruz, that was one of the headlines the last few days.
00:31:59.800Which I found really funny, so let me tell you two funny things about Pat Benatargate.
00:32:04.580Number one, I put out a tweet today, today or yesterday, where I said, look, my point was that he could be murdering children under a full moon while singing, hit me with your best shot, and Democrats wouldn't care.
00:32:26.180But to be honest, look, I thought that was kind of a clever tweet, so I sent it out, but do you want to know the actual backstory behind why I said Pat Benatar?
00:32:36.660Okay, so I was just free associating, I'm doing an interview, it's the middle of the afternoon, I'm talking, and I'm trying to think of like an outlandish scenario.
00:32:44.660So I'm like, murdering children, dressed as the devil, full moon, midnight, and what I was trying to think of was the band Nickelback.
00:32:56.280And the reason, it's kind of a funny, so in 2016, when I was running for president, there was this guy, this protester, that showed up at several of my events, holding a sign that says, Ted Cruz likes Nickelback.
00:33:09.900That was like the greatest band insult ever, by the way, I remember that, it's like so-and-so, it's like the new, like, oh, he probably drinks Bud Light.
00:33:18.440Yes, and I remember at the time, the guy who showed up, I was laughing, I was like, that's really funny.
00:33:25.920And so as I was free associating, I'm like, crap, what was that band that they said I liked, and I couldn't remember the name Nickelback.
00:33:32.820So I was just like grasping for someone, and I don't know why Pat Benatar popped in my head, but I was looking for someone, and so I said Pat Benatar.
00:33:41.260And what was funny is all these lefties on Twitter are like, oh, Cruz thinks Pat Benatar is satanic and, like, you know, Metallica or something.
00:33:50.120I'm like, no, I just was naming, like, a random rock star, because I couldn't remember Nickelback.
00:33:56.580By the way, the next time, for all the listeners, that you and I are traveling to do a Verdict Live event, I'm going to pull one of the earbuds and just make sure it's not really Pat Benatar.
00:34:05.240I just want to be, I'll report back to everybody.
00:34:20.880I grew up with Pat Benatar, so when I was reassociating, I'm trying to think of something that was just sort of, to be honest, the kind of notion was that I had in my head,
00:34:29.940I wasn't fully formed with the hit-me-with-the-best-shot, was just Biden defiant and utterly carefree because he knew he would never be held to account,
00:34:41.760which sadly is the reality of Democrats in Congress and the corporate media, which is they do not care.
00:34:49.120There's not a single Democrat who cares if Joe Biden received a $5 million bribe from a foreign country.
00:36:32.260If it's false, can you point to a single Democrat in the Senate or House of Representatives that has asked even a single witness one critical question about this topic?
00:36:46.640I can tell you in the Senate Judiciary Committee on which I serve, I have never seen any of the Democrats, when they have DOJ in front of them, when they have the FBI in front of them, they won't ask anything.
00:37:50.400Let me tell you real quick about Patriot Mobile.
00:37:52.220If you are sick and tired of giving your money to woke companies that are fighting against the values that you believe in,
00:37:58.160then it's time for you to check out America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:38:05.34099% of you listening have got a cell phone.
00:38:07.400Well, you want dependable coverage, nationwide coverage.
00:38:11.380You get that at Patriot Mobile because they give you that on all three major networks.
00:38:15.220So you get the best possible service in your area without the woke propaganda pushed by leftists working hard to destroy this country.
00:38:23.580Now, when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you support, with every bill you pay, free speech and religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and our military, our veterans and first responders.
00:38:37.140Because they take a portion of your bill at no extra cost to you, and they give back to causes that I just mentioned.
00:38:43.760For years, we've had to take it on the chin with Big Mobile.
00:38:46.460They've been dumping millions and millions of dollars into leftist causes, and we had no other option.
00:38:54.560So if you've had enough of the Bud Lights of the world, you've had enough of these companies that are fighting against what you believe in, check out Patriot Mobile.
00:40:35.720I don't know if it's that China has information on Joe Biden concerning the millions of dollars they funneled to Hunter Biden's business affairs,
00:40:44.480and I don't know if the 10% for the big guy that went to Joe Biden is a factor.
00:40:48.640I will say, even if Hunter Biden had never influenced Peddled once,
00:40:53.800I think Joe Biden would be rolling over to China.
00:40:56.860Biden has rolled over to China for 50 years.
00:40:59.920He's famously said, come on, man, come on, man, China's our friend.
