00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.520 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.280 Welcome.
00:00:06.080 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.840 Senator, back in January of this year,
00:00:13.500 there was a prediction that was made on this show.
00:00:18.900 And the prediction that was made on this show,
00:00:22.920 I just want to start by playing it.
00:00:25.400 You said this.
00:00:27.640 I'm going to make a prediction right now, Ben.
00:00:29.160 This is not one I like.
00:00:30.820 My prediction is, in December of 2024,
00:00:36.480 Joe Biden will pardon Hunter Biden.
00:00:40.260 Really?
00:00:41.280 That's my prediction.
00:00:42.420 It will be after the election.
00:00:45.020 Win or lose, you say he'll do it no matter what.
00:00:48.380 Win or lose.
00:00:49.600 If Biden were to win,
00:00:52.020 I think he'll delay the pardon until right before Hunter goes to jail.
00:00:55.400 But if Biden is losing,
00:00:57.620 I'd put the odds at 95% that in December of this year,
00:01:02.360 if Biden has just lost the general election,
00:01:04.440 that he pardons his son and he gives him a scot-free,
00:01:07.380 get-out-of-jail pass.
00:01:09.860 And so understand,
00:01:11.560 Hunter's legal strategy
00:01:13.000 is delay 11 months.
00:01:16.040 Delay 11 months,
00:01:16.860 don't go to jail for 11 months
00:01:18.300 and then daddy gives you
00:01:19.300 a get-out-of-jail-free card.
00:01:21.320 And it's why the house needs
00:01:23.060 to keep their eye on the ball.
00:01:24.660 That was January the 12th, Senator,
00:01:26.680 2024.
00:01:27.800 If you were listening to Verdict then,
00:01:29.360 this was 100% predicted
00:01:30.920 and it happened exactly how you said it would.
00:01:33.960 Well, to be fair,
00:01:34.780 it was 95% predicted then
00:01:36.500 and then last summer,
00:01:37.800 I raised it to 100%.
00:01:39.260 But if you listened to Verdict,
00:01:42.260 you knew this was going to happen.
00:01:43.540 It is 10.53 p.m. on December 1st.
00:01:46.420 We are recording this podcast right now.
00:01:49.080 On December 1st,
00:01:50.340 Joe Biden did exactly what we told you
00:01:52.380 he was going to do 11 months ago.
00:01:54.220 He pardoned his son, Hunter Biden.
00:01:56.500 Never mind about the corruption,
00:01:58.700 never mind about the gun offenses,
00:02:00.240 never mind about the drug offenses,
00:02:01.440 never mind about the tax offenses.
00:02:03.420 No man is above the law 0.98
00:02:05.040 unless your name is Joe Biden
00:02:06.860 and the entire Biden family.
00:02:08.340 We're going to break that down,
00:02:09.900 explain what just happened
00:02:11.160 with the Hunter Biden pardon today.
00:02:14.160 We're also going to talk about
00:02:15.360 Donald Trump's nomination of
00:02:16.640 Kash Patel as the director of the FBI.
00:02:18.560 The left is losing their mind.
00:02:19.960 The Democrats are freaking out.
00:02:21.280 The media is freaking out.
00:02:22.620 We're going to break down
00:02:23.640 why they're freaking out
00:02:24.700 and why this is a very good thing for America.
00:02:27.100 And finally, a terrific victory.
00:02:30.440 The Chinese communists have released
00:02:32.400 three Americans from unjust imprisonment,
00:02:35.520 including Mark Svedan.
00:02:36.520 Mark Svedan was a Texan.
00:02:38.340 Who was imprisoned in China for 12 years.
00:02:40.600 I've been leading the fight
00:02:41.620 to bring Mark home.
00:02:43.160 Mark is back in America.
00:02:44.620 Three Americans are back in America. 0.90
00:02:46.160 We're going to talk about that as well.
00:02:47.760 It's such an incredible story,
00:02:48.980 especially around Thanksgiving.
00:02:50.300 And it's an important one
00:02:51.720 that the media really isn't covering,
00:02:53.320 I think, the way they should.
00:02:54.640 And that's why I love doing this show with you.
00:02:56.440 And we're going to deal with that in a moment.
00:02:58.160 I want to tell you real quick
00:02:59.380 about New Year's resolutions.
00:03:01.800 A little over, gosh,
00:03:03.540 a year and three months ago,
00:03:06.440 I made a decision
00:03:07.960 that I was going to get back into shape,
00:03:10.380 that I was going to lose weight,
00:03:12.020 and I was going to be, honestly,
00:03:13.400 a better example for my kids.
00:03:15.100 I wanted to make sure
00:03:16.740 that I was in great shape
00:03:18.320 so they would always have their dad around
00:03:19.920 as long as they can.
00:03:21.320 And that is when I decided
00:03:23.680 that I needed some help
00:03:24.720 because I always felt tired.
00:03:26.680 I was feeling fatigued.
00:03:28.440 I didn't feel like myself anymore.
00:03:30.380 And that is exactly when I found Chalk.
00:03:32.740 Now, Chalk is incredible
00:03:34.960 because they actually help
00:03:36.640 boost your testosterone levels
00:03:38.340 up to 20% over 90 days.
00:03:41.960 And the problem is this.
00:03:43.500 Men's testosterone levels
00:03:44.500 are off a cliff historically
00:03:45.680 at an all-time low.
00:03:47.160 And that is exactly why I decided,
00:03:50.620 all right, I'm going to try Chalk.
00:03:51.540 Now, you've got to check out
00:03:53.060 and see what they can do for you
00:03:54.280 because they're helping men

00:03:56.240 maximize your masculinity
00:03:58.120 by boosting your testosterone levels
00:03:59.800 up to 20% over 90 days.
00:04:01.580 Now, I have lost over 70,
00:04:03.900 I think it's 77, 78 pounds now
00:04:05.940 in a little over a year.
00:04:07.480 And I would not have been able
00:04:08.460 to do it without Chalk.
00:04:10.240 It's manufactured right here
00:04:11.340 in the U.S. of A.

00:04:42.280 So, all right,
00:04:43.020 let's start with the narrative
00:04:44.740 and work our way back.
00:04:47.000 When this news broke tonight,
00:04:48.740 we were all on text message
00:04:50.160 and this was,
00:04:51.600 the first part was
00:04:53.060 Joe Biden pardons his son.
00:04:54.400 Hunter,
00:04:54.720 I wasn't surprised by it.
00:04:56.320 You predicted it.
00:04:57.520 You weren't surprised by it.
00:04:59.000 What I was surprised
00:05:00.020 was the amount of time
00:05:01.020 of this,
00:05:01.660 that it covers.
00:05:03.080 He's basically off the hook
00:05:04.440 for everything
00:05:05.120 that involves
00:05:05.660 the Biden crime family.
00:05:07.300 And this is after
00:05:08.500 Joe Biden
00:05:09.180 repeatedly promised
00:05:10.800 that he would
00:05:11.760 not do this,
00:05:13.080 that he would,
00:05:13.960 it would honor
00:05:15.020 and respect
00:05:15.680 the justice system
00:05:16.800 and the juries
00:05:17.920 and whatever they decide
00:05:19.380 to do with his son.
00:05:20.260 And that was also
00:05:21.660 all a lie.
00:05:22.920 And I think the part
00:05:24.500 that was the most shocking
00:05:25.760 is how the media
00:05:26.980 is covering this now.
00:05:28.220 And I want to start
00:05:29.060 with that.
00:05:29.860 They're all saying
00:05:30.980 to the American people,
00:05:31.960 look,
00:05:32.440 he already lost his son,
00:05:33.900 one son who died
00:05:34.880 of brain cancer.
00:05:36.280 This is just a dad
00:05:37.680 being a dad.
00:05:39.300 I don't buy that
00:05:40.400 for a second.
00:05:41.200 I think this is him
00:05:42.160 protecting the crime family
00:05:44.740 and the bag man
00:05:46.040 and that protects him.
00:05:47.520 I don't think
00:05:48.160 this is compassion
00:05:49.020 from a father,
00:05:50.040 your reaction to that.
00:05:51.700 Well, listen,
00:05:52.140 what Joe Biden said today,
00:05:53.540 he put out a lengthy statement.
00:05:54.740 Let me read his statement
00:05:55.500 and then we're going
00:05:55.940 to talk about what it means.
00:05:57.060 Here's what Joe Biden said.
00:05:58.300 Quote,
00:05:58.960 Today I signed a pardon
00:06:00.120 for my son, Hunter.
00:06:01.200 From the day I took office,
00:06:02.240 I said I would not interfere
00:06:03.380 with the Justice Department's
00:06:04.500 decision making.
00:06:05.520 And I kept my word
00:06:06.640 even as I watched my son
00:06:08.060 being selectively
00:06:09.040 and unfairly prosecuted.
00:06:10.920 Without aggravating factors
00:06:12.260 like use in a crime,
00:06:13.340 multiple purchases,
00:06:14.260 or buying a weapon
00:06:14.960 as a straw purchaser,
00:06:16.980 people are almost
00:06:17.700 never brought to trial,
00:06:19.020 on felony charges
00:06:20.040 solely for how
00:06:20.720 they filled out a gun form.
00:06:22.500 Those who were late
00:06:23.200 paying their taxes
00:06:23.960 because of serious addictions,
00:06:25.580 but paid them back subsequently
00:06:26.840 with interest and penalties,
00:06:28.440 are typically given
00:06:29.480 non-criminal resolutions.
00:06:31.300 It is clear that Hunter
00:06:32.300 was treated differently.
00:06:33.880 The charges in his case
00:06:34.940 came about only after
00:06:36.140 several of my political
00:06:37.020 opponents in Congress
00:06:38.000 instigated them
00:06:39.700 to attack me
00:06:40.380 and oppose my election.
00:06:41.820 Then a carefully
00:06:42.720 negotiated plea deal,
00:06:44.200 agreed to by
00:06:44.920 the Department of Justice,
00:06:46.080 unraveled in the courtroom.
00:06:47.420 With a number of my
00:06:48.860 political opponents
00:06:49.600 in Congress
00:06:50.160 taking credit
00:06:50.820 for bringing political
00:06:51.720 pressure on the process.
00:06:53.480 Had the plea deal held,
00:06:54.700 it would have been
00:06:55.160 a fair, reasonable
00:06:56.060 resolution of Hunter's cases.
00:06:58.140 No reasonable person
00:06:59.480 who looks at the facts
00:07:00.300 of Hunter's cases
00:07:01.060 can reach any other conclusion
00:07:02.580 than Hunter was singled out
00:07:05.140 only because he is my son
00:07:07.220 and that is wrong.
00:07:08.860 There has been an effort
00:07:09.860 to break Hunter,
00:07:11.080 who has been
00:07:11.680 five and a half years sober,
00:07:13.460 even in the face
00:07:14.380 of unrelenting attacks
00:07:15.780 and selected prosecution.
00:07:17.760 In trying to break Hunter,
00:07:19.280 they've tried to break me.
00:07:20.860 There's no reason
00:07:21.740 to believe it will stop here.
00:07:22.980 Enough is enough.
00:07:24.420 For my entire career,
00:07:25.600 I've followed a simple principle.
00:07:27.400 Just tell the American people
00:07:28.680 the truth.
00:07:29.600 They'll be fair-minded.
00:07:31.160 Here's the truth.
00:07:32.600 I believe in the justice system,
00:07:34.640 but as I've wrestled with this,
00:07:36.000 I also believe raw politics
00:07:37.520 has infected this process
00:07:39.260 and it has led
00:07:40.100 to a miscarriage of justice.
00:07:41.560 And once I made this decision
00:07:43.660 this weekend,
00:07:44.460 there was no sense
00:07:45.720 in delaying it further.
00:07:47.320 I hope Americans will understand
00:07:48.700 why a father and a president
00:07:50.460 would come to this decision.
00:07:52.160 Well, let me start with his ending.
00:07:53.260 I understand why.
00:07:54.420 I said in January,
00:07:56.380 Joe Biden would pardon Hunter Biden
00:07:58.340 and understand that
00:08:00.280 to anyone who listens
00:08:01.420 to this podcast,
00:08:02.100 it's not a surprise.
00:08:03.260 It is obvious.
00:08:04.520 Hunter Biden is not 0.87
00:08:05.740 some lonely crackhead 0.94
00:08:07.600 who just sort of went astray.
00:08:09.880 That's what Joe Biden
00:08:11.540 and the entire White House
00:08:12.420 has tried to paint him as.
00:08:14.220 Hunter Biden's business
00:08:15.780 was selling access to daddy. 0.92
00:08:18.720 The real crook here 0.97
00:08:19.920 is Joe Biden. 0.97
00:08:20.840 And this is something
00:08:21.640 that in this podcast
00:08:22.800 we've broken down
00:08:23.780 in elaborate detail.
00:08:27.640 The evidence of criminality
00:08:29.100 that Joe Biden
00:08:29.840 and the Biden family,
00:08:30.700 they made tens of millions
00:08:32.740 of dollars selling favors
00:08:35.080 from Joe Biden.
00:08:37.140 Listen, nobody pays
00:08:39.420 Hunter Biden.
00:08:39.940 Nobody pays a crackhead money
00:08:41.200 when he has no marketable services.
00:08:44.080 He was not selling anything
00:08:45.760 other than daddy.
00:08:47.840 So when Joe Biden is saying,
00:08:49.360 oh, it is terrible,
00:08:50.400 no one's prosecuted for this.
00:08:51.820 Number one,
00:08:52.700 I'll tell you this.
00:08:53.580 If you use crack cocaine 0.99
00:08:55.160 with prostitutes, 0.98
00:08:56.220 illegally buying guns 0.97
00:08:57.160 with guns,
00:08:57.800 you will be prosecuted
00:08:58.940 and you will go to jail.
00:09:00.200 You don't.
00:09:01.360 People not named Biden
00:09:03.000 don't get away with that.
00:09:04.440 By the way,
00:09:04.880 if you also defraud
00:09:06.640 the federal government
00:09:07.360 out of millions of dollars
00:09:08.420 of taxes,
00:09:09.060 you will be prosecuted.
00:09:10.200 That is true as well.
00:09:11.540 But the real corruption,
00:09:13.040 listen,
00:09:13.280 the Biden Justice Department
00:09:14.460 declined to prosecute,
00:09:16.840 deliberately allowed
00:09:17.820 the statute of limitations
00:09:18.660 to expire
00:09:19.520 on many of the most
00:09:20.920 egregious examples
00:09:22.240 of corruption.
00:09:22.980 Everything that implicated
00:09:24.440 the big guy.
00:09:26.120 Understand,
00:09:26.780 this is all about Joe Biden.
00:09:28.580 It's not about Hunter Biden.
00:09:29.760 So when Joe Biden
00:09:30.560 entered this pardon,
00:09:31.780 it is about protecting 0.83
00:09:33.020 his own rear end.
00:09:34.340 Does he love his son? 0.94
00:09:35.260 Sure.
00:09:35.440 Does he want to protect
00:09:36.260 his son?
00:09:37.160 Sure.
00:09:37.420 It's why I was certain
00:09:38.360 he would grant this pardon.
00:09:39.840 But if you really love
00:09:41.320 your son,
00:09:41.880 you don't send out 0.95
00:09:42.960 your son who is an addict 0.82
00:09:44.360 to be the front man, 0.99
00:09:45.840 to be the bag man
00:09:46.800 in collecting millions
00:09:48.280 of dollars selling
00:09:49.260 access to you.
00:09:50.980 Joe Biden was perfectly
00:09:52.060 willing to use his son
00:09:53.860 as the point person
00:09:54.760 and plan to blame it
00:09:55.880 on the addiction.
00:09:57.580 And so I've got to say,
00:09:59.440 Joe Biden's claiming,
00:10:00.660 well, gosh,
00:10:01.180 it's just unfair
00:10:02.320 he was targeted.
00:10:03.220 What is unfair,
00:10:05.300 what is not right,
00:10:06.460 is that the Biden family
00:10:07.840 made for decades
00:10:09.380 a practice of selling
00:10:11.600 favors from Joe Biden.
00:10:13.580 That is fundamentally corrupt. 0.57
00:10:15.660 And let me say finally,
00:10:17.020 in Joe Biden's statement,
00:10:18.380 he talks about,
00:10:19.680 well, there was a plea deal
00:10:20.760 from the Department of Justice
00:10:21.920 and then it collapsed.
00:10:23.140 Well, you know what?
00:10:23.760 This podcast played
00:10:24.920 a significant role
00:10:26.780 in causing that plea deal
00:10:28.960 to collapse.
00:10:30.080 No doubt.
00:10:31.060 To collapse.
00:10:31.940 And why?
00:10:33.000 Because we shined
00:10:34.020 a light on it
00:10:34.640 because it was indefensible.
00:10:36.360 The plea deal was
00:10:37.680 zero jail time,
00:10:39.240 a slap on the wrist,
00:10:40.160 which Joe Biden said,
00:10:40.840 well, gosh,
00:10:41.180 that would be fair.
00:10:42.240 Don't punish my son.
00:10:43.480 And understand,
00:10:44.180 this is not about Hunter.
00:10:45.840 This is about Joe.
00:10:48.940 Let's talk about
00:10:49.920 the length of this pardon
00:10:51.140 because I think
00:10:52.080 it's not just the pardon
00:10:53.440 for these two charges.
00:10:54.660 It's also, hey,
00:10:56.260 this covers virtually
00:10:57.520 all of the corruption
00:10:58.720 and all of the sins
00:11:00.400 of the Biden crime family
00:11:02.280 when they knew
00:11:03.300 they had millions
00:11:04.260 of dollars coming
00:11:05.100 into their son's bank account
00:11:06.840 that was spending it
00:11:07.860 on drugs
00:11:08.840 and everything else
00:11:10.740 that we know about
00:11:11.260 from his laptop.
00:11:12.780 He said, hey,
00:11:14.000 you can't go after
00:11:15.140 my son basically
00:11:15.940 for anything.
00:11:17.780 This is a pardon
00:11:18.740 for all the bad things
00:11:20.260 we've done.
00:11:21.480 Well, and listen,
00:11:22.480 if you're going to do it,
00:11:23.240 you're going to make it
00:11:23.740 as broad as possible
00:11:24.680 because you don't care
00:11:25.680 about the press blowback.
00:11:27.160 And at the end of the day,
00:11:28.080 Joe Biden's lost.
00:11:29.040 Kamala Harris is lost.
00:11:30.020 They don't care about
00:11:30.580 the political consequences.
00:11:31.800 That's why it was
00:11:32.280 going to be December.
00:11:33.340 It wasn't going to be November.
00:11:34.720 It wasn't going to be January.
00:11:35.800 December was going to be
00:11:36.560 the month it was.
00:11:37.680 And I want you to understand
00:11:38.960 for more than a year,
00:11:41.140 Joe Biden and every Democrat
00:11:42.420 has been lying
00:11:43.220 to the American people
00:11:44.180 repeatedly and brazenly.
00:11:45.940 I want you to listen
00:11:46.700 to Corrine Jean-Pierre
00:11:47.780 in December 2023.
00:11:49.520 Here's what she had to say.
00:11:50.740 The president would not
00:11:51.900 pardon or commute
00:11:53.520 the census for his son, Hunter.
00:11:55.440 I just want to make sure
00:11:56.160 that that is not going
00:11:57.000 to change over the next
00:11:57.820 six months.
00:11:58.260 The president's saying
00:11:59.560 it's still a no.
00:12:01.260 It's still a no.
00:12:01.860 It will always be a no.
00:12:03.040 It's still a no.
00:12:03.940 It will be a no.
00:12:05.080 It is a no.
00:12:06.220 And I don't have
00:12:06.880 anything else to add.
00:12:08.020 Will he pardon his son?
00:12:09.140 No.
00:12:10.640 Will he pardon his son?
00:12:11.660 No.
00:12:11.980 And she's actually
00:12:13.100 banging her hand 0.89
00:12:14.060 on the podium.
00:12:14.800 You can hear it.
00:12:16.140 OK, so let's play now
00:12:17.220 Corrine Jean-Pierre
00:12:17.960 in August of 2023.
00:12:20.940 Let me go back
00:12:21.540 to the first question
00:12:22.240 of the briefing.
00:12:22.720 I know you said
00:12:23.300 not a lot's changed
00:12:24.140 since yesterday
00:12:24.700 and that it's a personal matter.
00:12:25.820 But from a presidential
00:12:27.200 perspective,
00:12:27.740 is there any possibility
00:12:29.300 that the president
00:12:30.200 would end up
00:12:30.900 pardoning his son?
00:12:32.240 No.
00:12:33.300 OK, now let's do
00:12:34.840 Joe Biden himself
00:12:36.180 in June of 2024.
00:12:38.260 I'm extremely proud
00:12:39.640 of my son, Hunter.
00:12:40.860 He has overcome
00:12:41.820 an addiction.
00:12:42.700 He is.
00:12:43.300 He's one of the
00:12:44.340 brightest,
00:12:45.460 most decent men
00:12:46.220 I know.
00:12:47.040 And I am satisfied
00:12:48.760 that I'm not going
00:12:50.600 to do anything.
00:12:51.420 I said I abide
00:12:52.660 by the jury decision.
00:12:53.660 And I will do that
00:12:54.880 and I will not
00:12:55.740 pardon him.
00:12:57.000 OK, let's play
00:12:57.900 another interview again
00:12:59.040 from June of 2024.
00:13:00.620 Joe Biden again
00:13:01.320 on the same topic.
00:13:02.420 As we sit here
00:13:03.060 in Normandy,
00:13:04.020 your son Hunter
00:13:05.060 is on trial.
00:13:06.060 And I know
00:13:06.820 that you cannot speak
00:13:08.360 about an ongoing
00:13:09.140 federal prosecution.
00:13:11.580 But let me ask you,
00:13:12.960 will you accept
00:13:13.960 the jury's outcome,
00:13:15.480 their verdict,
00:13:16.020 no matter what it is?
00:13:17.340 Yes.
00:13:18.240 And have you ruled
00:13:19.120 out a pardon
00:13:19.660 for your son?
00:13:20.700 Yes.
00:13:21.740 I mean, 1.00
00:13:22.120 the guy's a pathological liar 1.00
00:13:24.240 everywhere he goes. 1.00
00:13:25.520 Final clip.
00:13:26.140 Let's let's play
00:13:26.720 Kareem Jean-Pierre
00:13:27.640 once again
00:13:28.460 on the same topic.
00:13:29.640 The president
00:13:30.260 would not pardon
00:13:31.520 or commute
00:13:32.360 for his son Hunter.
00:13:34.340 I just want to make sure
00:13:35.020 that that is not
00:13:35.700 going to change
00:13:36.160 over the next six months.
00:13:37.120 The president's
00:13:37.700 saying it would not.
00:13:38.740 It's still a no.
00:13:40.100 It's still a no.
00:13:40.700 It will always be a no.
00:13:41.800 It's still a no.
00:13:42.780 It will be a no.
00:13:43.900 It is a no.
00:13:45.060 And I don't have
00:13:45.720 anything else to add.
00:13:46.840 Will he pardon his son?
00:13:48.000 No.
00:13:48.980 Pretty consistent
00:13:49.960 with their lies.
00:13:51.440 Look,
00:13:51.800 understand
00:13:52.380 every person
00:13:54.080 listening
00:13:54.700 to Joe Biden,
00:13:56.220 every person
00:13:56.740 listening to
00:13:57.300 Kareem Jean-Pierre
00:13:58.100 knew that they were lying.
00:13:59.780 The reporter
00:14:00.200 asking that question
00:14:01.240 knew that they were lying.
00:14:03.320 Kareem Jean-Pierre,
00:14:04.320 she knew she was lying.
00:14:05.380 And Joe Biden,
00:14:06.220 every time he said it,
00:14:07.500 knew he was lying.
00:14:08.840 We said on this podcast
00:14:10.120 then,
00:14:11.040 they are lying.
00:14:13.100 And it was a cynical effort
00:14:14.720 to gaslight
00:14:15.400 the American people.
00:14:16.360 They hoped
00:14:16.840 at the time
00:14:17.800 they hoped Joe Biden
00:14:18.640 would win.
00:14:19.160 Later they hoped
00:14:19.720 Kamala Harris would win.
00:14:21.220 But their approach
00:14:23.040 was simple.
00:14:23.600 We're going to lie to you.
00:14:24.340 We're going to lie to you.
00:14:25.020 We're going to lie to you.
00:14:25.800 Don't you like
00:14:26.340 our happy lies?
00:14:27.700 And the plan
00:14:28.540 was always,
00:14:29.560 always,
00:14:30.040 always to issue
00:14:31.500 the pardon
00:14:32.100 because it covers up
00:14:34.160 for the criminality
00:14:35.160 that Joe Biden
00:14:36.100 is right at the nexus of.
00:14:37.160 So let's talk about
00:14:39.040 this future
00:14:40.980 and the Republicans
00:14:42.020 and what they should do.
00:14:43.420 There was a lot of people
00:14:44.480 asking the question,
00:14:45.500 okay,
00:14:46.420 is there anything
00:14:47.140 that you can do about this
00:14:48.520 or is this just the world
00:14:49.400 we live in now
00:14:50.240 where if you're the president 1.00
00:14:51.300 you can be as corrupt as hell 0.99
00:14:52.680 if you're a Democrat 1.00
00:14:53.380 and you've got people
00:14:54.120 to cover for you.
00:14:55.280 Then there's people
00:14:55.940 saying,
00:14:56.320 well,
00:14:56.400 hold on,
00:14:56.780 what about the other crimes
00:14:57.860 that involved
00:14:58.360 the other family members?
00:14:59.860 We know a lot of payments
00:15:01.000 went to a lot of people
00:15:01.960 with the last name Biden
00:15:02.880 when they were selling
00:15:03.580 access to U.S.
00:15:04.380 government.
00:15:05.420 Is this the,
00:15:06.620 end of this politically?
00:15:07.880 Move on
00:15:08.460 and that's just what it is
00:15:09.660 and we all know 0.97
00:15:10.380 that he's corrupt 0.96
00:15:11.120 and we know he lied to us 0.98
00:15:12.560 and we know he abused his power
00:15:13.840 and we know he sold access
00:15:15.020 to the United States government.
00:15:16.560 Well,
00:15:17.160 here is the text
00:15:18.380 of the pardon
00:15:18.980 that Joe Biden signed.
00:15:20.660 It is a pardon quote
00:15:21.940 for those offenses
00:15:23.520 against the United States
00:15:25.640 which he has committed
00:15:27.580 or may have committed
00:15:29.360 or taken part in
00:15:31.420 during the period
00:15:33.340 from January 1st, 2014
00:15:35.760 through December 1st, 2024
00:15:39.340 including but not limited
00:15:42.240 to all offenses
00:15:43.620 charged or prosecuted
00:15:45.120 including any that have resulted
00:15:47.400 in convictions
00:15:48.140 by Special Counsel David C. Weiss
00:15:50.560 in docket number 123CR00061-MN
00:15:56.420 in the United States District Court
00:15:58.080 for the District of Delaware
00:15:59.060 and docket number 223CR00599-MCS1
00:16:04.520 in the United States District Court
00:16:06.320 for the Central District of California.
00:16:08.300 So Ben,
00:16:08.740 how do you like that?
00:16:10.020 Every single federal offense
00:16:11.840 that you have committed
00:16:13.460 or you may have committed
00:16:15.040 or taken a part in
00:16:16.800 for a decade
00:16:18.220 from January 1st, 2014
00:16:20.460 to December 1st, 2024,
00:16:22.440 they're all erased clean.
00:16:24.600 I don't know that you could write
00:16:26.360 a broader pardon
00:16:28.220 other than,
00:16:29.800 listen, I'm president
00:16:30.640 and I gotta say,
00:16:31.980 by the way,
00:16:32.340 your question is there
00:16:33.080 anything you can do about it?
00:16:34.660 There is very, very little.
00:16:36.420 The pardon power
00:16:37.300 under the Constitution
00:16:38.180 is exceptionally broad.
00:16:40.020 The president has the ability
00:16:41.520 to pardon
00:16:42.680 any single federal offense.
00:16:44.660 In this case,
00:16:45.240 he's pardoning
00:16:45.880 every single federal offense
00:16:47.280 Hunter Biden may or may not
00:16:48.940 have committed
00:16:49.380 for over a decade.
00:16:50.840 And those federal offenses,
00:16:53.720 it is now impossible
00:16:55.000 to prosecute him,
00:16:56.140 impossible to hold him
00:16:57.260 liable for them.
00:16:58.680 Now, he's still liable
00:16:59.540 for state offenses,
00:17:00.860 but there has not been,
00:17:02.700 there have not been
00:17:04.100 any state prosecutions.
00:17:05.640 And so this is the consequence.
00:17:07.240 This was always the outcome.
00:17:09.240 It's why, look,
00:17:11.300 we've talked about
00:17:13.380 how the impeachment power,
00:17:14.840 the text of the Constitution
00:17:15.960 provides the impeachment power
00:17:17.480 for treason, bribery,
00:17:19.200 or other high crimes
00:17:20.240 or misdemeanors.
00:17:21.040 At the end of the day,
00:17:22.400 much of the conduct
00:17:23.240 that has been alleged here
00:17:24.580 is in the nature of bribery,
00:17:26.400 is in the nature of
00:17:27.340 paying off millions of dollars
00:17:28.780 to Joe Biden
00:17:29.520 for official favors.
00:17:32.260 And yet,
00:17:32.800 the Department of Justice
00:17:33.700 had zero interest
00:17:34.540 in examining it.
00:17:35.800 The Democrats in Congress
00:17:36.920 had zero interest
00:17:37.680 in examining it.
00:17:38.560 And the media
00:17:38.980 had zero interest
00:17:39.800 in examining it.
00:17:41.220 And so, as a consequence,
00:17:42.580 Hunter Biden
00:17:43.060 is now going to get off scot-free,
00:17:45.020 which was abundantly clear
00:17:46.820 from the outset
00:17:47.780 this was always the plan.
00:17:50.240 Canadian women
00:17:51.120 are looking for more.
00:17:52.460 More out of themselves,
00:17:53.520 their businesses,
00:17:54.460 their elected leaders,
00:17:55.420 and the world around them.
00:17:56.620 And that's why we're thrilled
00:17:57.600 to introduce
00:17:58.260 the Honest Talk podcast.
00:18:00.320 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:18:01.480 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:18:02.780 And in this podcast,
00:18:03.920 we interview Canada's
00:18:04.900 most inspiring women.
00:18:06.540 Entrepreneurs,
00:18:07.220 artists,
00:18:07.880 athletes,
00:18:08.500 politicians,
00:18:09.220 and newsmakers,
00:18:10.100 all at different stages
00:18:11.140 of their journey.
00:18:12.280 So, if you're looking
00:18:13.300 to connect,
00:18:14.100 then we hope you'll join us.
00:18:15.500 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast
00:18:16.880 on iHeartRadio
00:18:17.900 or wherever you listen
00:18:18.860 to your podcasts.
00:18:21.340 Final question.
00:18:22.780 Yes, Hunter Biden
00:18:23.720 is pardoned
00:18:25.640 for everything
00:18:26.540 in this,
00:18:28.220 as you said,
00:18:28.920 a sweeping pardon
00:18:30.000 that I've never seen before
00:18:31.520 at this level.
00:18:33.420 And in government,
00:18:34.400 from what we've seen
00:18:35.400 in the history
00:18:36.240 of my lifetime,
00:18:36.880 we've never seen
00:18:37.720 something this broad.
00:18:39.220 So,
00:18:39.520 the last question
00:18:41.300 I have is,
00:18:42.840 what about Joe Biden?
00:18:45.060 Is there anything
00:18:46.160 that can be done
00:18:46.920 against him?
00:18:47.600 Or is it just,
00:18:48.260 hey,
00:18:48.580 he's an old guy,
00:18:49.660 he dropped out
00:18:50.620 of the race.
00:18:51.400 As they said,
00:18:52.380 we would have prosecuted him
00:18:53.960 for keeping classified documents,
00:18:55.440 but no jury
00:18:56.420 would ever convict him
00:18:57.340 because he was too senile
00:18:59.020 to basically know
00:19:00.600 what he had done
00:19:01.360 in the past.
00:19:02.420 Is all of that
00:19:03.480 just going to be forgotten
00:19:04.500 now because of age?
00:19:06.980 Well,
00:19:07.440 let me be clear.
00:19:08.300 We have seen
00:19:09.060 pardons this broad
00:19:10.180 before.
00:19:10.640 And so,
00:19:11.340 if you look,
00:19:11.960 for example,
00:19:12.740 at the pardon
00:19:13.360 Gerald Ford issued
00:19:14.960 for Richard Nixon,
00:19:15.940 here is the operative
00:19:16.960 text of that pardon.
00:19:18.840 Now,
00:19:19.260 therefore,
00:19:19.780 I,
00:19:20.100 Gerald R. Ford,
00:19:21.140 President of the United States,
00:19:22.480 pursuant to the pardon power
00:19:23.660 conferred upon me
00:19:24.420 by Article 2,
00:19:25.700 Section 2 of the Constitution,
00:19:27.740 have granted
00:19:28.360 and by these presents
00:19:30.180 do grant
00:19:30.900 a full,
00:19:32.260 free,
00:19:32.820 and absolute pardon
00:19:33.880 unto Richard Nixon
00:19:34.880 for all offenses
00:19:36.600 against the United States
00:19:37.940 which he,
00:19:38.620 Richard Nixon,
00:19:39.240 has committed
00:19:39.760 or may have committed
00:19:41.400 or taken part in
00:19:42.780 during the period
00:19:44.300 from January 20th,
00:19:45.680 1969
00:19:46.400 through August 9th,
00:19:47.680 1974.
00:19:48.980 So,
00:19:49.980 they deliberately
00:19:51.200 borrowed the language
00:19:52.340 from the pardon
00:19:54.060 of Richard Nixon
00:19:54.800 and the idea was
00:19:55.860 this is a blanket
00:19:57.280 get-out-of-jail
00:19:58.040 freak card
00:19:58.660 and it's what
00:20:00.000 the Constitution
00:20:00.720 gives the President
00:20:01.700 this authority
00:20:02.400 and that's exactly
00:20:03.300 what they did.
00:20:04.200 Now,
00:20:04.400 your question was
00:20:05.360 what about Joe Biden?
00:20:06.700 So,
00:20:06.940 Joe Biden has not
00:20:07.740 pardoned himself.
00:20:08.560 I don't think he will.
00:20:09.980 And at the end
00:20:10.840 of the day
00:20:11.300 when the Trump
00:20:11.820 Department of Justice
00:20:12.620 comes into office
00:20:13.500 there will be a question
00:20:14.500 do they go
00:20:15.400 and prosecute
00:20:16.260 Joe Biden?
00:20:17.420 My guess is
00:20:18.120 the answer will be no.
00:20:19.400 That Joe Biden,
00:20:21.040 his dementia
00:20:22.140 has risen to a level
00:20:23.420 at this point
00:20:24.120 that I think
00:20:24.640 he's probably
00:20:25.100 going to ride off
00:20:25.780 into the sunset
00:20:26.380 and be done.
00:20:27.880 Maybe I'm wrong
00:20:28.740 but my suspicion
00:20:30.940 is Joe Biden
00:20:31.860 will not face
00:20:32.640 accountability
00:20:33.060 for the corruption
00:20:34.140 that Hunter
00:20:35.220 was the bag man for
00:20:36.420 and that his entire
00:20:37.200 family profited from.
00:20:40.040 Incredible.
00:20:40.660 And there's going to be
00:20:41.040 a lot of people
00:20:41.420 listening right now
00:20:42.000 they're going to be
00:20:42.420 angry about this.
00:20:43.740 I understand it.
00:20:44.540 I want to be clear.
00:20:45.240 I'm angry about it too
00:20:46.260 because it looks like
00:20:47.220 the entire family
00:20:48.600 his brother
00:20:49.220 and every other Biden
00:20:50.260 that was on the take
00:20:50.960 is going to get away
00:20:51.660 with this
00:20:52.200 in a sense
00:20:53.360 and look
00:20:53.920 this is the corruption
00:20:54.680 of the Democratic Party.
00:20:55.880 This is the reason
00:20:56.460 why I think
00:20:57.060 Donald Trump
00:20:57.600 one of the reasons
00:20:58.120 why he won this election
00:20:59.040 and why Republicans
00:20:59.820 control the House
00:21:00.700 and Senate
00:21:01.080 is people wanted
00:21:02.740 there to be
00:21:03.100 accountability
00:21:03.600 at least
00:21:04.280 on election day
00:21:05.700 that may be
00:21:06.380 the only silver lining.
00:21:07.060 Let me jump in
00:21:08.200 Ben
00:21:08.900 there may be
00:21:10.040 an exception
00:21:10.640 I don't think
00:21:11.140 it's impossible
00:21:11.940 that the Department
00:21:13.280 of Justice
00:21:13.780 prosecutes
00:21:14.600 Joe Biden's brother
00:21:15.580 Joe Biden's brother
00:21:16.980 I'm not aware
00:21:17.500 of any evidence
00:21:18.400 that he has dementia
00:21:19.760 that he is 0.68
00:21:20.820 serious mental 0.98
00:21:22.060 diminishment
00:21:22.620 and that may be
00:21:23.680 one avenue
00:21:24.220 I could see
00:21:24.800 the Department
00:21:25.260 of Justice
00:21:25.740 investigating
00:21:26.380 now one challenge
00:21:27.300 is
00:21:27.520 Oh hold on
00:21:28.120 I'm going to ask
00:21:29.100 now a prediction
00:21:29.800 you made a last
00:21:30.980 prediction
00:21:31.320 that was good
00:21:31.760 I want one
00:21:32.260 right now
00:21:32.820 I want you
00:21:34.040 to predict
00:21:34.500 whether or not
00:21:35.280 before the last
00:21:36.000 day January 20th
00:21:37.340 that Joe Biden
00:21:38.740 says screw it 0.87
00:21:39.620 I'm going to
00:21:40.040 hand out pardons
00:21:40.700 to my brother
00:21:41.160 or other family
00:21:41.840 members
00:21:42.300 I don't think
00:21:43.380 it's impossible
00:21:44.220 but I doubt it
00:21:46.080 I put it at
00:21:46.660 less than 50%
00:21:47.940 look I
00:21:49.580 and I think
00:21:51.180 if you were to
00:21:52.820 ask me to give
00:21:53.540 odds my guess
00:21:54.540 is that the
00:21:55.160 Trump Department
00:21:55.980 of Justice
00:21:56.420 probably doesn't
00:21:57.620 prosecute
00:21:58.180 Biden's brother
00:21:58.900 that there will
00:21:59.400 be a sense of
00:22:00.380 this is water
00:22:01.460 under the bridge
00:22:02.220 it's the prior
00:22:02.940 administration
00:22:03.520 it's not our
00:22:04.280 concern
00:22:04.600 let's move on
00:22:05.440 but I'm just
00:22:07.400 saying if you
00:22:08.080 were to predict
00:22:08.780 one avenue
00:22:09.860 and one challenge
00:22:11.160 is in terms
00:22:12.580 of whether you
00:22:13.120 could prosecute
00:22:13.880 Biden's brother
00:22:14.820 a major challenge
00:22:15.960 would be the
00:22:16.460 statute of
00:22:16.920 limitation
00:22:17.360 that many
00:22:17.980 of the most
00:22:18.480 corrupt actions
00:22:19.400 occurred long
00:22:20.920 enough
00:22:21.280 that the
00:22:22.220 statute of
00:22:22.720 limitations
00:22:23.180 has expired
00:22:24.260 and what that
00:22:24.920 means statute
00:22:25.560 of limitations
00:22:26.140 is in federal
00:22:27.420 law
00:22:27.640 it's also true
00:22:28.180 in state law
00:22:28.860 that there is
00:22:29.820 a limit
00:22:30.360 to how
00:22:31.680 recently
00:22:32.340 the conduct
00:22:33.060 must have
00:22:33.500 occurred
00:22:33.860 before you
00:22:34.320 could prosecute
00:22:34.980 it's the idea
00:22:35.660 that you can't
00:22:36.840 come back
00:22:37.420 and prosecute
00:22:38.540 you Ben
00:22:39.000 for something
00:22:39.440 you did 20
00:22:40.040 years ago
00:22:40.740 that you don't
00:22:41.540 remember that
00:22:42.120 the evidence
00:22:42.560 is stale
00:22:43.120 there's some
00:22:43.620 notion that
00:22:44.160 there needs
00:22:44.500 to be finality
00:22:45.240 in law
00:22:45.740 and that
00:22:46.000 prosecutions
00:22:46.680 need to
00:22:47.120 occur relatively
00:22:49.320 promptly after
00:22:50.260 the criminality
00:22:51.040 and so I
00:22:51.540 think much
00:22:53.260 of the conduct
00:22:54.060 that Joe's
00:22:55.380 brother has been
00:22:55.940 implicated in
00:22:56.760 the statute
00:22:57.720 of limitations
00:22:58.440 and all
00:22:58.880 likelihood has
00:22:59.520 expired
00:23:00.000 and so that
00:23:00.680 may prevent
00:23:01.420 a prosecution
00:23:02.280 if you were
00:23:03.220 going to ask
00:23:03.680 me is there
00:23:04.060 going to be
00:23:04.300 another pardon
00:23:04.820 for his
00:23:05.660 brother
00:23:05.880 probably not
00:23:06.920 but it's
00:23:07.680 not beyond
00:23:08.600 the realm
00:23:09.600 of contemplation
00:23:11.000 incredible
00:23:12.640 I want to
00:23:13.320 deal with
00:23:13.620 also you
00:23:14.180 talked about
00:23:14.640 the deep
00:23:14.940 state and I
00:23:15.320 want to
00:23:15.520 talk about
00:23:15.920 the FBI
00:23:16.480 as well
00:23:17.220 and Kash
00:23:17.820 Patel
00:23:18.480 and being
00:23:19.020 named FBI
00:23:20.020 director by
00:23:20.700 Donald Trump
00:23:21.200 before we get
00:23:21.720 to that though
00:23:22.160 I want to
00:23:22.420 tell you about
00:23:22.760 our friends
00:23:23.220 over at
00:23:24.220 Patriot
00:23:25.120 Mobile
00:23:25.460 if you have
00:23:26.480 a cell phone
00:23:27.140 and your cell
00:23:27.740 phone is with
00:23:28.240 Big Mobile
00:23:28.720 you may not
00:23:29.380 realize exactly
00:23:30.480 where your
00:23:31.520 money is going
00:23:32.680 you may not
00:23:33.720 realize that
00:23:34.420 every time you
00:23:35.720 pay that bill
00:23:36.380 to Big Mobile
00:23:36.920 they're taking
00:23:37.540 part of that
00:23:38.160 and they're
00:23:38.580 giving it back
00:23:39.220 to hardcore
00:23:39.700 liberal causes
00:23:40.620 candidates
00:23:41.300 and radical
00:23:42.140 organizations
00:23:42.900 I'm talking
00:23:43.320 about organizations
00:23:43.960 that are paying
00:23:44.700 for abortions
00:23:45.560 right now
00:23:46.160 if you don't
00:23:47.640 want your money
00:23:48.200 going there
00:23:48.720 then you need
00:23:49.300 to switch
00:23:49.720 to Patriot
00:23:50.440 Mobile
00:23:50.700 now in 2024
00:23:51.900 it's never
00:23:52.780 been easier
00:23:53.300 to switch
00:23:53.840 your cell
00:23:54.520 phone
00:23:54.800 and you
00:23:55.380 do it
00:23:55.740 now
00:23:55.980 literally
00:23:56.360 over the
00:23:56.780 phone
00:23:57.060 with Patriot
00:23:57.660 Mobile
00:23:57.900 you keep
00:23:58.780 your same
00:23:59.200 cell phone
00:23:59.720 number
00:24:00.080 and you
00:24:01.200 can keep
00:24:01.540 your same
00:24:01.940 phone
00:24:02.160 you have
00:24:02.480 right now

00:24:03.340 to a new
00:24:03.680 one
00:24:03.880 now coverage
00:24:04.660 let's talk
00:24:05.120 about that
00:24:05.680 a lot of
00:24:06.040 people have
00:24:06.560 misconceptions
00:24:07.100 thinking oh
00:24:08.120 well I don't
00:24:08.900 want to change
00:24:09.560 I like my
00:24:10.060 coverage
00:24:10.480 you don't
00:24:10.900 have to worry
00:24:11.320 about that
00:24:11.740 now
00:24:11.980 because they're
00:24:12.460 all using
00:24:12.900 the same
00:24:13.280 networks
00:24:13.700 and the same
00:24:14.140 towers
00:24:14.600 you're going
00:24:15.520 to get the
00:24:15.940 exact same
00:24:16.700 coverage
00:24:17.120 that you're
00:24:17.520 used to
00:24:18.060 and then
00:24:19.520 this is the
00:24:19.980 best part
00:24:22.780 they take
00:24:23.340 about 5%
00:24:24.080 of that
00:24:24.280 bill at
00:24:24.580 no extra
00:24:25.420 cost to
00:24:26.140 you
00:24:26.540 and they
00:24:27.360 give it
00:24:27.900 back to
00:24:28.980 conservative
00:24:29.580 causes

00:25:29.880 were going
00:25:30.080 to start
00:25:30.360 this show
00:25:30.900 tonight
00:25:31.340 senator
00:25:31.660 talking about
00:25:32.460 the FBI
00:25:33.040 and
00:25:33.840 Kash Patel
00:25:34.540 being named
00:25:35.060 the FBI
00:25:35.600 director
00:25:36.440 this is a
00:25:38.160 name that
00:25:38.560 Democrats
00:25:38.960 do not
00:25:39.560 like
00:25:39.920 Kash Patel
00:25:40.620 so people
00:25:41.020 understand
00:25:41.400 history
00:25:41.900 this is a
00:25:42.680 guy that
00:25:43.000 actually
00:25:43.520 the deep
00:25:45.240 state went
00:25:45.800 after when
00:25:46.560 he was working
00:25:47.340 for Donald
00:25:47.940 Trump the
00:25:48.320 first time
00:25:48.980 with Russia
00:25:50.220 Russia
00:25:50.560 Russia
00:25:50.960 and he
00:25:51.660 found out
00:25:52.340 about it
00:25:52.900 that when
00:25:54.460 apparently
00:25:55.600 Google
00:25:56.220 five years
00:25:57.000 after the
00:25:57.480 fact
00:25:57.780 sent him
00:25:58.560 a letter
00:25:58.900 saying hey
00:25:59.580 we had to
00:26:00.060 disclose to
00:26:00.660 you now
00:26:01.080 that we
00:26:01.840 gave a
00:26:02.420 bunch of
00:26:02.720 your information
00:26:03.380 over to
00:26:03.960 the FBI
00:26:04.600 that's
00:26:05.640 the now
00:26:06.000 the guy
00:26:06.380 that will
00:26:06.680 be running
00:26:07.360 the FBI
00:26:08.380 if he gets
00:26:09.060 confirmed
00:26:09.640 your reaction
00:26:10.880 well I think
00:26:12.400 this is a
00:26:13.000 strong
00:26:13.460 nomination I
00:26:14.300 think we're
00:26:14.680 seeing
00:26:15.260 Democrats
00:26:16.320 and we're
00:26:16.800 seeing the
00:26:17.200 media
00:26:17.420 freaking
00:26:17.800 out
00:26:18.100 and they're
00:26:18.380 freaking
00:26:18.660 out
00:26:19.080 not because
00:26:20.240 they think
00:26:20.660 Kash Patel
00:26:21.200 is unqualified
00:26:21.920 but rather
00:26:22.540 because they
00:26:23.200 believe he
00:26:24.460 will actually
00:26:25.060 do what
00:26:25.600 Trump promised
00:26:26.200 he would
00:26:26.480 do they
00:26:26.800 believe he
00:26:27.360 will actually
00:26:27.980 clean out
00:26:28.740 the corruption
00:26:30.480 at the FBI
00:26:31.260 that he will
00:26:31.800 take on
00:26:32.640 the partisans
00:26:34.180 that have
00:26:34.900 burrowed into
00:26:35.640 senior career
00:26:36.500 positions
00:26:37.040 this is something
00:26:38.000 we've been
00:26:38.360 calling for on
00:26:39.000 this podcast
00:26:39.780 for a long
00:26:40.540 time to have
00:26:41.180 leadership that
00:26:42.260 is willing to
00:26:42.860 really root out
00:26:43.600 the partisanship
00:26:44.500 and corruption
00:26:45.000 and say no
00:26:45.640 more
00:26:46.320 the FBI
00:26:46.900 needs to
00:26:47.520 restore its
00:26:48.300 integrity
00:26:48.780 I think this
00:26:49.420 is a nomination
00:26:51.320 the reason
00:26:52.540 people are
00:26:53.080 losing their
00:26:53.580 minds is
00:26:54.120 because they
00:26:54.820 believe
00:26:55.400 Kash Patel
00:26:56.280 is going to
00:26:56.800 do exactly
00:26:57.480 what Trump
00:26:57.880 said he
00:26:58.120 would do
00:26:58.800 and Senator
00:27:00.460 you actually
00:27:00.980 talked about
00:27:01.640 this on
00:27:02.320 Sunday morning
00:27:02.960 on Face the
00:27:03.540 Nation on
00:27:03.980 CBS and it
00:27:04.940 was very
00:27:05.320 interesting to
00:27:05.760 see the
00:27:06.040 back and
00:27:06.420 forth take a
00:27:07.160 listen to
00:27:07.540 that for
00:27:07.980 people that
00:27:08.320 may have
00:27:08.540 missed it
00:27:09.100 Kash Patel
00:27:10.200 suggested by
00:27:11.400 Trump as
00:27:12.260 the new
00:27:12.520 leader of
00:27:12.880 the FBI
00:27:13.340 how enthusiastic
00:27:15.020 are you about
00:27:15.960 that
00:27:16.320 listen I think
00:27:18.900 Kash Patel is a
00:27:19.900 very strong
00:27:20.800 nominee I think
00:27:21.660 the entire slate
00:27:22.580 of cabinet
00:27:23.080 nominees
00:27:23.600 President Trump
00:27:24.700 has put forward
00:27:25.480 is very strong
00:27:26.540 I believe every
00:27:27.560 one of these
00:27:28.020 cabinet nominees
00:27:28.800 is going to be
00:27:30.040 confirmed by the
00:27:30.960 Senate I think
00:27:31.480 Kash Patel is
00:27:32.760 going to be
00:27:33.360 confirmed by the
00:27:34.220 Senate you look
00:27:34.840 at his background
00:27:35.460 he has a serious
00:27:36.740 professional background
00:27:37.900 he was a
00:27:38.780 prosecutor he
00:27:39.620 was a public
00:27:40.480 defender he was a
00:27:42.040 senior intelligence
00:27:43.400 staffer on
00:27:44.220 Capitol Hill he
00:27:45.140 was a senior
00:27:45.760 intelligence staffer
00:27:46.860 in the White
00:27:47.780 House he was the
00:27:48.500 chief of staff of
00:27:49.280 the Department of
00:27:49.860 Defense he was the
00:27:50.980 deputy director of
00:27:52.040 national intelligence
00:27:52.980 and I gotta say all
00:27:54.640 of the weeping and
00:27:55.560 gnashing of teeth all
00:27:56.580 of the people pulling
00:27:57.320 their hair out are
00:27:58.400 exactly the people who
00:27:59.820 are dismayed about
00:28:00.800 having a real reformer
00:28:02.120 come into the FBI
00:28:03.060 and clean out the
00:28:05.360 corrupted partisans
00:28:07.160 who sadly have
00:28:08.540 burrowed into senior
00:28:09.520 career positions at the
00:28:11.260 FBI the FBI the
00:28:12.600 Department of Justice
00:28:13.440 are two institutions
00:28:14.560 incredibly important
00:28:16.440 to the rule of law
00:28:17.420 in the United States
00:28:18.260 I revere both
00:28:19.500 and one of the most
00:28:20.800 tragic consequences
00:28:22.400 of four years of
00:28:23.460 Joe Biden Kamala
00:28:24.480 Harris is both DOJ
00:28:26.300 and the FBI have
00:28:27.340 been politicized
00:28:28.520 and weaponized
00:28:30.020 and I think
00:28:30.400 Kash Patel is a
00:28:31.320 very strong nominee
00:28:32.480 to take on the
00:28:33.900 partisan corruption
00:28:35.740 in the FBI
00:28:36.880 as you know
00:28:37.700 senator there isn't
00:28:38.480 a vacancy at the
00:28:39.320 top of the FBI
00:28:40.100 what should become
00:28:40.880 of Christopher Wray
00:28:41.680 appointed by
00:28:42.320 President Trump
00:28:43.000 well I think
00:28:45.500 he'll make a choice
00:28:46.260 I think either
00:28:47.120 he will resign
00:28:47.880 or President Trump
00:28:48.680 will fire him
00:28:49.380 but it's no secret
00:28:50.460 to anybody
00:28:51.120 including Chris Wray
00:28:52.220 that he is not
00:28:53.260 going to continue
00:28:53.780 to serve as the
00:28:54.480 head of the FBI
00:28:55.200 under Donald Trump
00:28:56.900 listen if you look
00:28:58.620 at James Comey
00:29:00.240 and Chris Wray
00:29:00.940 there has never
00:29:02.300 been a period
00:29:02.940 in our nation's
00:29:03.760 history where
00:29:04.240 the FBI has
00:29:05.140 suffered a greater
00:29:06.460 loss of respect
00:29:07.720 where more
00:29:08.420 Americans doubt
00:29:09.440 the fundamental
00:29:10.560 integrity of the
00:29:11.720 FBI and it's
00:29:12.520 because James Comey
00:29:13.500 and Chris Wray
00:29:14.120 presided over
00:29:15.020 allowing the FBI
00:29:16.680 to become a
00:29:17.700 partisan cudgel
00:29:18.940 to be used to
00:29:20.300 target parents
00:29:21.240 at school board
00:29:21.980 meetings to be
00:29:22.640 used to target
00:29:23.420 people who chose
00:29:24.720 not to take the
00:29:25.540 COVID vaccine
00:29:26.280 to be used to
00:29:27.100 target President
00:29:27.840 Trump and to
00:29:28.740 target the political
00:29:29.600 opponents of Joe
00:29:30.540 Biden and the
00:29:31.060 White House
00:29:31.520 it is tragic
00:29:32.820 that is not what
00:29:33.780 the FBI is for
00:29:34.800 that is not what
00:29:35.540 the DOJ is for
00:29:36.600 and I got to say
00:29:37.680 Pam Bondi and
00:29:38.600 Kash Patel I think
00:29:39.640 together are a
00:29:40.860 very strong slate
00:29:41.980 of nominees to go
00:29:43.020 and restore
00:29:43.560 integrity to both
00:29:45.100 institutions
00:29:45.780 I don't think it
00:29:48.320 can be better said
00:29:49.040 than that and
00:29:49.500 that's why there's
00:29:50.700 so many that are
00:29:51.780 freaked out over
00:29:52.920 Patel because he's
00:29:53.800 going to go in
00:29:54.500 and do his job
00:29:55.620 the way it's
00:29:56.080 supposed to be
00:29:56.620 done and also
00:29:57.820 that means part
00:29:58.660 of this is
00:29:59.580 clearing house
00:30:00.240 of the political
00:30:01.580 partisans that are
00:30:02.440 in there that have
00:30:02.980 weaponized the
00:30:04.380 government
00:30:04.800 that's exactly
00:30:07.700 right and we've
00:30:08.520 seen you know I
00:30:09.880 wrote a book
00:30:10.860 called justice
00:30:12.020 corrupted how the
00:30:12.920 left is weaponized
00:30:13.880 the legal system
00:30:14.680 and in the book I
00:30:16.060 described how
00:30:17.060 starting with
00:30:18.020 Barack Obama
00:30:18.800 we saw the
00:30:20.380 Department of
00:30:20.940 Justice and the
00:30:21.620 FBI and the
00:30:22.420 CIA and the
00:30:23.220 alphabet soup of
00:30:24.060 the federal
00:30:24.360 government turned
00:30:25.700 into a weapon
00:30:26.560 to target and
00:30:27.560 persecute the
00:30:29.280 political enemies
00:30:30.440 of Barack Obama
00:30:31.420 when Trump
00:30:32.780 became president
00:30:33.600 those partisans
00:30:34.520 what they did
00:30:35.260 is they went
00:30:36.320 into senior
00:30:37.340 career positions
00:30:38.420 in the agencies
00:30:39.820 and from day
00:30:40.860 one from the
00:30:41.500 first day of
00:30:42.060 Trump's first
00:30:42.600 term they
00:30:44.000 waged war on
00:30:45.480 Donald Trump
00:30:46.100 from within the
00:30:47.080 deep state they
00:30:48.140 wanted to destroy
00:30:49.180 him they wanted
00:30:49.840 to stop his
00:30:50.620 agenda they
00:30:51.700 hated him and
00:30:53.440 then when Joe
00:30:54.100 Biden became
00:30:54.780 president they
00:30:55.700 came out in
00:30:56.440 the open they
00:30:57.020 were brazen
00:30:57.820 they were
00:30:58.720 completely
00:30:59.420 they were not
00:31:02.160 pretending anymore
00:31:03.060 and so listen
00:31:03.960 as I said I
00:31:05.000 think Kash
00:31:05.420 Patel will be
00:31:06.840 confirmed and
00:31:07.700 when he is I
00:31:08.940 think it is going
00:31:09.480 to be hugely
00:31:10.440 important that
00:31:12.160 that he follow
00:31:13.900 through on those
00:31:14.680 promises to get
00:31:15.780 rid of the
00:31:16.720 partisans and
00:31:17.580 listen a point I
00:31:18.380 made Major Garrett
00:31:19.300 was pressing back
00:31:20.240 saying wasn't this
00:31:20.980 terrible that Chris
00:31:21.840 Ray would be
00:31:22.320 fired listen in the
00:31:23.840 entire history of
00:31:24.920 the FBI we
00:31:26.700 have never seen
00:31:27.760 the respect for
00:31:28.840 the FBI
00:31:29.440 diminished as
00:31:31.540 greatly as it
00:31:32.380 has been under
00:31:33.100 Chris Ray and
00:31:33.780 under James
00:31:34.240 Comey before him 0.67
00:31:35.120 that the American
00:31:36.900 people no longer
00:31:38.300 trust the
00:31:39.280 integrity of the
00:31:40.160 FBI that is
00:31:42.180 listen with James
00:31:43.160 Comey I think
00:31:43.860 he's a hard
00:31:44.380 partisan I think
00:31:45.280 he was the point
00:31:46.020 of the spear
00:31:46.600 with Chris Ray
00:31:47.760 I think it's
00:31:48.260 different I
00:31:48.680 actually think
00:31:49.220 Chris Ray he's
00:31:49.940 not a Democrat
00:31:50.580 he's a Republican
00:31:51.380 he's not a
00:31:51.980 leftist but he
00:31:53.380 views his job
00:31:54.840 as protecting
00:31:56.360 the institution
00:31:57.220 and I think
00:31:57.760 he made a
00:31:58.260 fundamental mistake
00:31:59.220 that he believes
00:32:00.500 that protecting
00:32:01.380 the career senior
00:32:02.900 officials who
00:32:04.040 themselves are
00:32:05.000 vicious partisans
00:32:06.080 I think he
00:32:07.080 thinks that's
00:32:07.680 somehow protecting
00:32:08.480 the FBI where
00:32:09.340 the result is
00:32:10.280 that the public
00:32:12.220 respect of the
00:32:13.220 FBI has been
00:32:14.100 profoundly damaged
00:32:15.200 I think the
00:32:15.840 new director of
00:32:17.340 the FBI has a
00:32:18.300 very important
00:32:19.060 job to root
00:32:20.640 out those
00:32:21.160 partisans and
00:32:21.920 to bring it
00:32:22.480 back to a
00:32:24.240 fidelity to
00:32:25.300 law by the
00:32:25.840 way I
00:32:26.680 think the
00:32:27.260 other political
00:32:27.960 prosecutions
00:32:28.860 that have
00:32:29.180 been brought
00:32:29.700 are natural
00:32:31.360 candidates for
00:32:32.500 the pardon
00:32:33.140 power if you
00:32:33.840 look at Donald
00:32:34.380 Trump I think
00:32:34.900 Donald Trump
00:32:35.540 should pardon
00:32:36.720 those people
00:32:37.320 who've been
00:32:37.620 prosecuted for
00:32:38.420 January 6th who
00:32:39.820 did not engage
00:32:40.920 in crimes of
00:32:41.600 violence if you
00:32:42.180 engage in a
00:32:42.740 crime of violence
00:32:43.360 if you physically
00:32:44.220 and violently
00:32:45.300 assaulted a police
00:32:46.200 officer you
00:32:47.200 shouldn't be
00:32:47.820 pardoned you
00:32:48.400 should face
00:32:49.000 criminal
00:32:49.360 prosecution if
00:32:50.300 you committed
00:32:50.780 a crime of
00:32:52.060 violence against a
00:32:52.880 police officer but
00:32:53.740 if you were
00:32:54.200 engaged in a
00:32:54.860 peaceful protest
00:32:55.540 I think those
00:32:56.740 are natural
00:32:57.300 candidates for
00:32:58.040 pardons I
00:32:58.580 also think
00:32:59.260 Lauren Handy
00:33:00.380 who is the
00:33:01.440 pro-life
00:33:02.340 protester who's
00:33:03.780 right now serving
00:33:04.920 six years in
00:33:06.360 federal prison for
00:33:07.340 non-violent protest
00:33:08.800 against abortion
00:33:09.760 I think Lauren
00:33:10.860 Handy is a
00:33:11.600 natural candidate
00:33:12.620 for a pardon
00:33:13.500 from President
00:33:15.120 Trump I think
00:33:15.760 there's a very
00:33:16.700 substantial likelihood
00:33:17.700 she will receive
00:33:18.600 a pardon I
00:33:19.620 think the
00:33:20.020 non-violent
00:33:20.640 January 6th
00:33:21.540 protesters are
00:33:22.240 likely to receive
00:33:23.040 pardons and
00:33:24.060 and that is
00:33:24.660 going to cause
00:33:25.220 Democrats in
00:33:25.920 the media to
00:33:26.440 lose their
00:33:26.880 mind because
00:33:27.540 not only are
00:33:28.180 they happy to
00:33:28.760 look the other
00:33:29.300 way at the
00:33:30.440 weaponization of
00:33:31.280 the Department of
00:33:31.820 Justice and the
00:33:32.420 FBI they are
00:33:33.920 vested in
00:33:34.720 defending that
00:33:35.600 weaponization and
00:33:36.660 it is that is a
00:33:37.920 mandate understand
00:33:39.180 Donald Trump
00:33:40.520 campaign to the
00:33:41.740 American people
00:33:42.500 saying I will
00:33:43.640 root out this
00:33:44.420 corruption and I
00:33:45.900 think this
00:33:46.300 nomination and his
00:33:47.280 following through on
00:33:48.100 that promise is
00:33:49.400 fundamentally about
00:33:50.500 respecting democracy
00:33:51.760 the American people
00:33:52.680 said yes we
00:33:54.160 don't want the
00:33:54.880 federal government
00:33:55.640 weaponized against
00:33:57.460 the political
00:33:58.100 opposition of the
00:33:59.480 White House
00:33:59.960 yeah amen to that
00:34:01.160 and finally Senator
00:34:02.360 this is such an
00:34:03.340 important story and
00:34:05.540 I hope that
00:34:06.360 everybody listening
00:34:07.220 will actually take
00:34:08.080 this podcast today
00:34:09.220 share it on on
00:34:11.100 acts share it on
00:34:12.020 on Instagram share
00:34:13.440 it on on Facebook
00:34:14.520 wherever you are in
00:34:15.500 social media text it
00:34:16.540 to your friends because
00:34:17.980 the story that we're
00:34:18.760 about to talk about is
00:34:19.980 a story that really
00:34:20.860 the media is just
00:34:22.240 not covering it is
00:34:24.580 something that you've
00:34:25.400 also led on especially
00:34:27.660 being a member of the
00:34:29.020 Senate Foreign Relations
00:34:30.060 Committee there was
00:34:31.520 not one not two but
00:34:32.740 three Americans that
00:34:34.080 were detained for years
00:34:35.200 in China that have now
00:34:36.300 been released give a
00:34:38.120 quick recap of just how
00:34:39.640 long they've been
00:34:40.700 there but also why this
00:34:42.320 happened now well so
00:34:45.360 there were three
00:34:45.820 Americans who who
00:34:46.940 returned from China
00:34:48.140 they've been imprisoned
00:34:48.960 in China for for
00:34:50.360 years one of them is a
00:34:51.740 Texan one of them is
00:34:52.760 someone named Mark
00:34:54.360 Suedan the other two 0.82
00:34:56.120 are Kai Lai and John
00:34:57.800 Leong so Mark Suedan is 0.99
00:34:59.880 a Texan he's from
00:35:00.720 Houston his mother is
00:35:02.620 Catherine Suedan I've
00:35:03.920 spoken to Catherine
00:35:05.000 multiple times she is 0.80
00:35:07.000 from Luling Texas
00:35:08.160 Mark Suedan has been in
00:35:10.460 jail in China for 12
00:35:12.940 years and it was a
00:35:14.740 completely bogus charge
00:35:16.080 it was a trumped up
00:35:17.020 charge and the Chinese 0.99
00:35:19.920 government was
00:35:20.660 persecuting him as an
00:35:21.960 American I've spoken
00:35:22.880 out on on Mark
00:35:23.920 Suedan's behalf multiple
00:35:25.240 times I authored a
00:35:27.120 resolution that passed
00:35:28.200 the Senate unanimously
00:35:29.400 calling for Mark
00:35:30.560 Suedan's release I've
00:35:32.160 raised his case over
00:35:34.300 and over and over again
00:35:35.320 with the Biden
00:35:35.820 administration I'll give
00:35:36.780 them some credit they
00:35:38.100 leaned in in a
00:35:38.980 significant way and they
00:35:40.020 got him home he is back
00:35:41.300 in Texas today and this
00:35:44.460 is also something that
00:35:45.420 you talked about on
00:35:46.140 face the nation I want
00:35:47.080 people to hear part of
00:35:48.400 what you had to say
00:35:49.140 what can you tell us
00:35:50.720 about the three
00:35:51.300 Americans released by
00:35:52.420 China who were in San
00:35:53.600 Antonio have you been in
00:35:54.600 touch with them and do
00:35:55.840 you have any concerns
00:35:56.560 about the contours of
00:35:57.800 that swap well at this
00:36:00.300 stage we don't know all
00:36:01.360 of the details of the
00:36:02.240 contours of the swap but
00:36:03.440 I'll tell you I am
00:36:04.320 celebrating the return of
00:36:05.960 three Americans especially
00:36:07.300 Mark Suedan Mark Suedan
00:36:08.740 is a Texan from Houston
00:36:10.740 his mom Catherine is from
00:36:11.980 Luling Texas I've talked
00:36:13.220 with Catherine many times
00:36:15.260 I authored and passed a
00:36:16.820 resolution in the Senate
00:36:17.940 that passed unanimously
00:36:19.280 calling for Mark Suedan's
00:36:21.460 return to America he spent 0.62
00:36:23.080 12 years unjustly
00:36:25.320 imprisoned in communist
00:36:26.480 China I'll tell you I have 0.98
00:36:28.160 raised it directly with a
00:36:29.360 foreign minister of China
00:36:30.400 I've raised it with
00:36:31.100 President Biden I've raised
00:36:32.380 it with Secretary of State
00:36:34.540 Tony Blinken and I will
00:36:35.860 give them credit on this
00:36:37.120 Tony Blinken just two weeks
00:36:38.540 ago was the most recent
00:36:39.900 time I spoke with him about
00:36:41.140 Mark Suedan and the
00:36:42.580 administration has pressed
00:36:43.940 the Chinese government and
00:36:45.180 Mark Suedan is back home
00:36:46.840 with his mother who has
00:36:48.140 prayed for him who has
00:36:49.120 loved loved him I want to
00:36:50.540 say Mark welcome home
00:36:51.780 Catherine congratulations I
00:36:53.620 told you this day would
00:36:54.680 come this is a time where
00:36:56.140 all Texans and all Americans
00:36:57.420 should be celebrating
00:36:58.220 very quickly Senator Cruz
00:36:59.860 because I also know you
00:37:00.740 care about the case of
00:37:01.680 Austin Tice do you have any
00:37:03.360 sense that the rebel gains
00:37:04.820 in Syria of the recent
00:37:06.500 vintage will have any chance
00:37:08.600 of unlocking Austin Tice's
00:37:10.620 freedom I don't know I
00:37:13.300 certainly hope and pray
00:37:14.680 Austin Tice needs to come
00:37:16.240 home and and I hope and
00:37:17.960 pray listen there's a
00:37:18.760 combination of two things
00:37:20.000 working one as Joe Biden
00:37:22.100 is in the process of
00:37:23.320 transitioning out any any
00:37:24.800 outgoing president is
00:37:25.900 looking to try to get some
00:37:26.980 final wins I would
00:37:28.420 encourage him and I'm sure
00:37:29.620 he is doing everything he
00:37:30.860 can to bring Austin Tice
00:37:32.480 home to bring the hostages
00:37:33.940 in Gaza home both the 0.99
00:37:35.580 Israelis and the Americans 0.63
00:37:36.760 bring them home in this
00:37:38.160 window I also think
00:37:39.660 President Trump coming
00:37:40.800 into office on January
00:37:42.120 20th the enemies of
00:37:43.480 America I think are afraid 1.00
00:37:45.300 of President Trump that
00:37:46.400 is a moment I hope we have
00:37:48.420 a moment right now that is
00:37:49.700 very much like the end of
00:37:50.980 the Jimmy Carter
00:37:51.600 administration right before
00:37:53.480 Ronald Reagan came in and
00:37:54.740 we saw on January 20th our
00:37:56.900 hostages in Iran released I
00:37:59.080 think in significant part
00:38:00.320 because the Ayatollah was
00:38:02.240 afraid of Reagan I hope a
00:38:03.480 similar dynamic is playing
00:38:05.160 out and if we can see more
00:38:06.280 hostages come home that
00:38:07.840 would be cause for enormous
00:38:09.080 celebration enormous
00:38:10.940 celebration that is a hundred
00:38:13.520 percent accurate because for
00:38:14.820 these families as you
00:38:16.300 mentioned this is a day
