Verdict with Ted Cruz - WH Reverses Course on Antisemitism, FBI had Credible Sources on Biden Crime Family & Joe Biden Paying $2.75m in CASH for a Beach House the Week In Review

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.560 Welcome.

00:00:06.320 It is the Verdict with Ted Cruz.

00:00:08.140 Weekend review.

00:00:09.140 Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:10.440 And these are the big stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.

00:00:15.220 Story number one this weekend you may have missed.

00:00:18.440 It is shocking to see just how anti-Semitic the staff at the White House has become.

00:00:24.100 And they got called out for it and kind of had to apologize.

00:00:27.440 It also was contradicting what the president said.

00:00:31.020 So are they going to get away with it?

00:00:32.420 I'll have that for you in a moment.

00:00:34.240 Plus, the FBI, we've now found out, had at least 40 sources that were giving them information on Biden crime family activities.

00:00:45.980 What did they do after the information was coming in for these informants?

00:00:49.720 They shut down the investigations as fast as they possibly could, covering for the Biden family.

00:00:57.440 And finally, why would the president of the United States of America pay millions of dollars in cash for his beach house?

00:01:06.380 Well, that's exactly what he did.

00:01:08.020 When interest rates were close to the lowest they've been in our lifetime.

00:01:12.520 So was he trying to make money disappear?

00:01:14.960 It is the Weekend Review with Ted Cruz.

00:01:17.440 And it starts right now.

00:01:19.420 Senator, I want to play for you quickly the White House.

00:01:22.320 And the White House got themselves in some trouble because the president has mostly been saying the right things.

00:01:29.060 But the White House and the staffers, completely different story.

00:01:33.940 Take a listen to the White House press briefing.

00:01:36.100 What is his level of concern right now about the potential rise of anti-Semitism in light of everything that's going on in Israel?

00:01:43.220 So a couple of things.

00:01:44.880 Look, we have not seen any credible threats.

00:01:50.500 I know there's been always questions about credible threats.

00:01:53.940 And so I just want to make sure that that's out there.

00:01:56.760 But look, Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.

00:02:03.800 And certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim, Arab-Americans and Palestinian-American loved ones and neighbors are worried about the hate being directed at their communities.

00:02:14.780 And that is something you heard the president speak to in his address just last Thursday.

00:02:20.640 And so one of the things that the president has done is directed his homeland security team to prioritize prevention and disruption of any emerging threats that could harm the Jewish, the Muslim, Arab-Americans or any other communities.

00:02:34.760 And that is something that the president has sought to do since day one.

00:02:39.380 And as you know, the president ran on protecting communities, obviously, but bringing people together, protecting the soul of the nation.

00:02:50.860 And so that is something that the president takes very, very seriously.

00:02:55.740 And we're going to continue to denounce any sort of hate towards any American here.

00:03:01.300 And so that's what we're going to continue to be steadfast on.

00:03:03.800 And again, he has advised, directed his homeland security team to make sure that they're on top of this.

00:03:09.980 Now, Senator, the part about this that's so laughable is the White House press secretary has now come out and said, quote,

00:03:17.960 she misheard the anti-Semitism question only because of the massive backlash from that answer.

00:03:25.780 Well, it really is striking that the White House press secretary is unwilling to stand up and clearly and unequivocally condemn anti-Semitism,

00:03:32.520 say anti-Semitism is wrong.

00:03:34.600 It is evil.

00:03:35.340 It is a unique evil that has existed on the face of this planet for thousands of years.

00:03:40.160 And we are completely opposed to it.

00:03:42.680 Moreover, we will ensure that law enforcement resources are there to protect Jewish Americans.

00:03:48.220 I'll tell you, Jewish communities across this country have a level of concern and a level of fear unlike any time I've ever seen.

00:03:55.180 As the anti-Semitism on college campuses, there was a Jewish student at Columbia who was beaten with a stick in recent days,

00:04:04.960 the threats of violence on campuses because the anti-Israel, the Jew-hating far left is so extreme

00:04:14.060 that there is a real threat of violence against the American Jewish community

00:04:20.020 and for that matter, the Jewish community worldwide in Europe and elsewhere.

00:04:23.120 And I've got to say, her answer to that was striking in that the Babylon Bee,

00:04:30.120 which does a fabulous job as a humor and satire site,

00:04:34.540 they had an article that they hadn't published, but they tweeted it out today,

00:04:40.340 and they said it's hard to stay ahead of reality at the Babylon Bee.

00:04:43.220 We had this written up last night only to wake up and see the White House doing exactly this

00:04:48.340 before we had a chance to publish.

00:04:49.560 And here was the fake satirical headline that they had written,

00:04:53.820 and they were getting ready to publish when Corrine Jean-Pierre beat them to the punch.

00:04:57.240 The fake headline read,

00:04:59.560 In strong response to rising hate crimes against Jews, Democrats denounce Islamophobia.

00:05:05.560 That's exactly what she did.

00:05:07.160 Yeah.

00:05:07.240 And it's, and I tweeted out, no longer satire, just sad, because their view,

00:05:13.100 listen, when it comes to the anti-Semitic bigots, when it comes to the squad,

00:05:18.620 when it comes to the 35 student groups at Harvard and the radicals running our college campuses,

00:05:25.680 the Biden White House, and I would have to assume including Corrine Jean-Pierre,

00:05:29.800 side with the radicals against the people of Israel and against even American Jews.

00:05:34.900 Their answer, they say, we've seen no credible threat of anti-Semitism in America, really.

00:05:41.740 Well, where the hell have you been if you haven't seen any?

00:05:44.620 Because I got to tell you, the Jewish community is feeling it acutely, 0.93

00:05:48.980 and we've seen multiple horrific acts of violence directed against Jews,

00:05:52.880 directed against synagogues, including mass murders in the United States.

00:05:56.520 And for the White House to say they've seen no credible threat is truly absurd.

00:06:01.140 Yeah, I was talking literally today to a dear friend of mine who's Jewish

00:06:05.240 that works very close to Times Square in a largely Jewish community,

00:06:10.200 and he said they had been told by local law enforcement to really be on high alert and be careful,

00:06:16.860 and even had recommended that they travel together in groups, not be isolated alone,

00:06:21.420 and to be careful at their places of business.

00:06:25.000 That is what he said to me today,

00:06:27.160 and yet the White House is acting like none of that's happening at all.

00:06:29.980 It is sad, and today's Democrat Party is captive to the far left.

00:06:36.260 And I will say, I've had conversations with multiple people on the left

00:06:40.520 who are not deeply political,

00:06:42.820 who are shocked at the open anti-Semitism that is arising on the far left.

00:06:50.960 It's been there for a long time, but if you're not paying close attention,

00:06:54.080 it takes something like the events of the last couple of weeks

00:06:57.080 to really bring in a stark relief, and I hope this is opening some eyes.

00:07:00.860 Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,

00:07:03.440 you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.

00:09:11.440 Now on to story number 2.

00:09:14.080 I want to move to this other big topic as well.

00:09:16.620 And that is this Fox News report that has come out saying,

00:09:21.060 quote,

00:09:21.140 The FBI maintained more than 40 confidential human sources

00:09:26.940 on various criminal matters related to the Biden family,

00:09:32.100 including President Joe Biden,

00:09:35.260 dating back to his time as the vice president,

00:09:37.920 according to information obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley.

00:09:43.260 You've got a lot more on this,

00:09:45.020 and I want you to take it from there.

00:09:46.380 Well, that's exactly right.

00:09:48.220 The evidence against Joe Biden and the Biden crime family

00:09:51.580 has extended for a long time.

00:09:54.740 According to the Fox News reporting,

00:09:57.300 the confidential human sources providing criminal information to the FBI

00:10:00.500 relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.

00:10:04.520 Those confidential human sources were managed by multiple FBI field

00:10:07.900 offices across the nation, including the FBI's Seattle field office.

00:10:14.120 But, and this is something also that my colleague Chuck Grassley

00:10:17.220 has learned and reported,

00:10:18.720 an FBI task force within the Washington field office

00:10:21.360 sought to, and in some cases successfully,

00:10:24.000 shut down reporting and information from those sources

00:10:27.480 by falsely discrediting the information as foreign disinformation.

00:10:32.700 That effort caused investigative activities to cease.

00:10:35.740 So understand, they're getting confidential human source

00:10:39.820 after confidential human source after confidential human source

00:10:42.420 saying these guys are crooks.

00:10:44.300 These guys are selling favors from Joe Biden

00:10:47.340 to foreign nationals, to foreign oligarchs, 0.68

00:10:50.140 to corrupt Ukrainians, to corrupt Russians, 0.97

00:10:52.220 to corrupt Chinese, to foreigners. 0.98

00:10:55.080 And the response of the top brass at the FBI is, 0.84

00:10:59.280 nope, nope, we don't want that.

00:11:00.460 Shut it down.

00:11:01.020 Don't talk about this.

00:11:02.440 This is foreign disinformation. 0.90

00:11:04.220 The disinformation was coming all right,

00:11:06.380 but sadly it was from the FBI.

00:11:09.180 And Senator, your colleague Grassley

00:11:12.260 alleges, in essence,

00:11:14.660 look, the FBI and the DOJ

00:11:17.900 were in essence part of a cover-up here.

00:11:20.280 They sought to shut down

00:11:21.700 the investigations into the Biden

00:11:23.980 while knowing that the FBI

00:11:26.520 had received this criminal information

00:11:28.060 from over 40 confidential sources.

00:11:30.620 Now, to be clear, 40 sources,

00:11:33.180 Senator, is a hell of a lot of confidential sources.

00:11:35.540 When you're talking about people

00:11:37.140 that are telling you about illegal activity

00:11:39.380 they believe they're witnessing

00:11:40.500 on Hunter Biden, on James Biden, on Joe Biden,

00:11:44.100 and then they're like,

00:11:45.080 yeah, yeah, we know about this.

00:11:46.140 We just want to shut it down.

00:11:47.600 That's not normal.

00:11:48.460 So that's exactly right.

00:11:51.320 The only thing that I disagree with you

00:11:53.740 is you said that Grassley alleged

00:11:55.520 this is, in essence, a cover-up.

00:11:57.520 No, he didn't say, in essence, a cover-up.

00:11:59.280 He alleged it was flat-out a cover-up.

00:12:01.060 Let me quote from Chuck Grassley.

00:12:02.460 Quote,

00:12:02.700 Based on the information provided to my office

00:12:05.460 over a period of years

00:12:06.700 by multiple credible whistleblowers,

00:12:09.700 there appears to be an effort

00:12:11.000 within the Justice Department and FBI

00:12:13.260 to shut down investigative activity

00:12:15.940 related to the Biden family.

00:12:18.160 Such decisions point to a significant political bias

00:12:21.320 infecting the decision-making

00:12:23.340 of not only the Attorney General and FBI Director,

00:12:26.480 but also line agents and prosecutors.

00:12:29.180 And I got to say,

00:12:30.040 the politicization of the FBI,

00:12:33.040 particularly under Joe Biden,

00:12:35.180 and the politicization of DOJ

00:12:37.280 is one of the worst

00:12:39.300 and most damaging legacies

00:12:40.940 of this administration.

00:12:43.160 Put your lawyer hat on for a second.

00:12:45.040 Explain this terminology used.

00:12:46.940 It says,

00:12:47.260 The confidential human sources, quote,

00:12:49.180 provided criminal information to the FBI

00:12:51.860 relating to Joe Biden, James Biden,

00:12:54.160 and Hunter Biden.

00:12:55.200 Those confidential human sources

00:12:56.780 were managed by multiple FBI field offices

00:12:59.880 across the nation,

00:13:01.380 including the FBI's Seattle field office.

00:13:04.220 So when they use words like

00:13:05.560 provided criminal information,

00:13:07.900 what does that mean?

00:13:10.080 That means you've got individuals,

00:13:12.300 informants,

00:13:12.940 who are coming forward saying,

00:13:14.180 Hey, I have evidence of a crime.

00:13:15.760 Evidence of a crime committed by Joe Biden

00:13:17.680 or Hunter Biden or James Biden.

00:13:19.440 Now, some of them may not have been telling the truth.

00:13:22.540 Some of them may not have been pointing to actual crimes.

00:13:24.800 But when you have 40 different sources

00:13:26.580 coming up saying,

00:13:28.160 I've got evidence of a crime,

00:13:30.580 that's unusual.

00:13:31.840 That doesn't happen.

00:13:33.760 You know,

00:13:34.020 ordinary public servants

00:13:35.740 don't live a life

00:13:36.680 where you have 40 people coming forward

00:13:38.280 saying,

00:13:38.680 Hey, I've got evidence of a crime.

00:13:40.080 And by the way,

00:13:40.980 there are millions of dollars

00:13:41.920 flooding into them

00:13:42.720 from communist China and Ukraine

00:13:43.980 and Russia and everywhere else.

00:13:45.040 Like that's,

00:13:45.960 that is not typical.

00:13:47.420 Look, I serve in the United States Senate.

00:13:49.140 My colleagues are not getting millions of dollars

00:13:51.380 from communist China or Russia or Ukraine.

00:13:54.200 That is exceedingly unusual.

00:13:56.920 And to have 40 different sources coming forward,

00:13:59.640 a normal law enforcement process would say,

00:14:02.040 Hey, this is really concerning.

00:14:04.800 We need to investigate this.

00:14:06.440 What's going on?

00:14:07.560 And, and what Grassley is alleging

00:14:09.960 is that the evidence is

00:14:11.100 the FBI field office in DC

00:14:13.400 shut it down and said,

00:14:14.800 Nope.

00:14:15.860 Ixnay on the Iden Bay investigation, eh?

00:14:18.620 Like, like, like they just did not want

00:14:21.280 to look into crimes committed by Joe Biden.

00:14:24.940 And, and I got to say, uh, that.

00:14:28.480 Well, and they also use the words

00:14:30.160 they wanted to shut down

00:14:31.740 or they did the Washington field office,

00:14:33.540 uh, in some cases,

00:14:35.120 successfully shut down reporting.

00:14:37.620 So they were saying,

00:14:39.060 see no evil, hear no evil.

00:14:41.900 If you have something

00:14:43.520 that deals with a Biden last name,

00:14:45.760 we don't even want you to report it,

00:14:47.580 much less give us the information

00:14:49.280 that we would receive.

00:14:50.900 We don't even want it to come in the door.

00:14:53.520 Well, and this is part of this

00:14:55.240 is the consequence of the whole

00:14:56.600 Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense.

00:14:58.500 And, and we saw for years,

00:15:00.500 the FBI and DOJ wage war on Donald Trump,

00:15:04.000 alleging Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:15:05.400 And we now know the vast majority

00:15:07.260 of that was nonsense.

00:15:08.140 It was made up.

00:15:08.960 It was fabricated,

00:15:09.900 included actually an assistant

00:15:11.600 general counsel at the FBI,

00:15:13.260 literally fabricating an email,

00:15:14.980 creating a false email

00:15:16.140 and submitting it to a federal court,

00:15:17.720 which is a felony,

00:15:18.420 because they hated Donald Trump so much

00:15:21.660 that they wanted to go after him.

00:15:23.080 But the danger of the Russia, 1.00

00:15:24.500 Russia, Russia narrative

00:15:25.680 is when you had the Hunter Biden laptop,

00:15:28.480 the FBI could just say,

00:15:29.460 well, this is Russia disinformation.

00:15:30.960 Nevermind that at this point,

00:15:32.600 Hunter Biden's lawyers

00:15:33.480 have essentially admitted,

00:15:34.880 yes, it is his laptop.

00:15:37.020 By alleging all evidence of criminality

00:15:40.040 is Russian disinformation,

00:15:41.320 they convinced law enforcement

00:15:43.540 to ignore what,

00:15:45.180 what is enormous evidence

00:15:48.920 of corrupt conduct

00:15:50.200 by Hunter Biden,

00:15:51.500 James Biden,

00:15:52.200 and Joe Biden.

00:15:52.960 Well, and one of those critical

00:15:54.740 FD 1023s we talked extensively

00:15:57.240 on verdict about

00:15:58.440 was first reported earlier this year.

00:16:01.480 It was that form

00:16:02.780 that included the reporting

00:16:04.040 from a quote,

00:16:04.740 highly credible,

00:16:06.080 confidential human source

00:16:07.500 who alleged a criminal bribery scheme

00:16:10.320 between then-Vice President Joe Biden,

00:16:13.020 his son Hunter Biden,

00:16:14.420 and the founder and the CEO

00:16:15.880 of that Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma,

00:16:18.840 where we know that Hunter Biden

00:16:20.580 was on the board.

00:16:22.420 If that's one example

00:16:25.040 of what we were getting

00:16:26.340 from these 40-plus informants,

00:16:28.680 what other intel do we not have?

00:16:31.960 And is there a way to go to the FBI

00:16:33.800 and for you guys in a sense

00:16:35.300 to even get it?

00:16:36.900 Well, we don't know.

00:16:38.200 There should be.

00:16:38.880 But unfortunately,

00:16:39.840 this FBI and this DOJ

00:16:41.380 believes that they are not accountable

00:16:43.060 to the United States Congress.

00:16:44.380 They're not accountable

00:16:44.980 to the American people.

00:16:45.920 So when you ask them,

00:16:47.320 their standard answer is, 0.97

00:16:48.960 piss off, 1.00

00:16:49.480 go jump in a lake, 1.00

00:16:50.280 we will not answer your questions.

00:16:51.480 And there's an arrogance.

00:16:53.060 There's a contempt.

00:16:54.120 Look, we had,

00:16:54.900 and we talked about this

00:16:55.600 in a previous pod,

00:16:57.240 a deputy director of the FBI

00:16:59.140 where I was questioning him.

00:17:00.800 And as I asked questions,

00:17:02.200 he said,

00:17:02.460 well, I don't want to answer that.

00:17:03.380 He said, I asked, why not?

00:17:04.520 Because I don't want to. 0.71

00:17:05.580 Like, who the hell?

00:17:06.320 What do you mean you don't want to? 0.58

00:17:07.580 That this is not just a chat 0.99

00:17:09.620 at a coffeehouse, damn it. 0.99

00:17:11.240 You're giving testimony 1.00

00:17:12.300 in front of the Judiciary Committee

00:17:13.800 of the United States Senate.

00:17:15.400 And you have an obligation.

00:17:16.800 You're giving testimony

00:17:17.480 on behalf of the Federal Bureau

00:17:19.180 of Investigation.

00:17:20.180 But there is a hubris

00:17:21.780 on the part of these individuals,

00:17:24.380 these partisans

00:17:25.360 who are at the senior career positions

00:17:27.380 that they believe,

00:17:28.880 how dare you question

00:17:30.920 what we're doing?

00:17:31.740 And I got to say,

00:17:33.920 look, I'm an alumnus of DOJ.

00:17:35.720 I respect and revere the institution,

00:17:38.240 and they have corrupted it

00:17:39.720 to a point that it is heartbreaking

00:17:41.840 and it is dangerous

00:17:42.920 for the rule of law,

00:17:44.440 and it's dangerous for liberty

00:17:45.600 in the United States.

00:17:46.700 Last question for you.

00:17:48.340 Next time the Attorney General

00:17:49.580 Merrick Garland

00:17:50.180 comes before Congress,

00:17:51.940 what question should he be asked

00:17:54.540 about this?

00:17:56.440 A lot,

00:17:57.580 but I will say,

00:17:58.840 even to our beloved listeners

00:18:00.500 at verdict,

00:18:01.920 I'm not going to give a preview

00:18:03.320 of the questions I'm going to ask.

00:18:04.640 We'll figure that out

00:18:06.080 probably the day before

00:18:08.340 and the day that Merrick Garland arrives.

00:18:10.280 It will be time-sensitive,

00:18:12.400 but it will be driven

00:18:13.440 by all of these issues

00:18:14.700 because I view my responsibility.

00:18:17.280 Listen, when I'm sitting there,

00:18:18.580 it's not just me asking questions.

00:18:21.160 You know, I'm elected

00:18:22.280 to represent 30 million Texans,

00:18:24.200 and so I'm trying to do my very best

00:18:26.140 to ask questions

00:18:27.900 on behalf of 30 million Texans,

00:18:29.540 to ask questions

00:18:30.400 that Texans have a right to know,

00:18:32.520 and sometimes I do it well,

00:18:34.100 sometimes I do it less than well.

00:18:35.520 That's the blessing and curse

00:18:38.200 of being human,

00:18:39.060 but I'm trying to fulfill

00:18:40.940 my responsibility

00:18:42.100 to the people of Texas

00:18:43.980 of defending the Constitution

00:18:45.360 and the rule of law

00:18:46.320 so you can be assured

00:18:47.840 the next time Merrick Garland

00:18:49.120 testifies in the Senate

00:18:50.740 Judiciary Committee,

00:18:52.020 we're going to be talking about it

00:18:53.200 on verdict afterwards,

00:18:54.080 and I'm going to do my very best

00:18:55.600 to ask the questions

00:18:56.880 that 30 million Texans

00:18:58.780 want asked.

00:19:00.540 As before,

00:19:01.180 if you want to hear

00:19:01.860 the rest of this conversation

00:19:03.100 on this topic,

00:19:04.360 you can go back

00:19:40.560 Patriot Mobile

00:19:41.400 for 10 years

00:19:42.380 has been America's

00:19:43.440 only Christian

00:19:44.520 conservative wireless provider.

00:19:46.220 And when I say only,

00:19:47.380 trust me,

00:19:48.260 they are literally

00:19:49.140 the only one.

00:19:50.240 The team at Patriot Mobile

00:19:52.080 are incredible

00:19:52.940 because they are

00:19:53.760 an American-based company

00:19:54.960 with an American-based

00:19:56.120 call center

00:19:56.740 that helps

00:19:57.880 proud Americans

00:19:59.080 just like you

00:20:00.120 that are conservatives

00:20:00.960 and Christian

00:20:01.540 know that when they

00:20:02.340 pay their bill every month,

00:20:03.420 you're actually making

00:20:04.740 a difference

00:20:05.480 and standing up

00:20:06.360 for what you believe in.

00:20:07.700 So stop sending

00:20:09.020 your money

00:20:09.740 to woke companies

00:20:10.680 that are fighting

00:20:11.140 against your values.

00:20:12.100 You may not realize

00:20:12.960 that the Big Mobile,

00:20:14.320 they have been giving

00:20:15.420 millions

00:20:16.480 to liberal Democrats

00:20:17.620 and to places

00:20:19.500 like Planned Parenthood.

00:20:21.380 Well,

00:20:21.900 Patriot Mobile

00:20:22.580 has decided

00:20:23.140 to do something else

00:20:24.080 and I love this

00:20:25.040 about them as a company.

00:20:26.420 For every verdict listener

00:20:27.740 that switches

00:20:28.420 your cell phone provider

00:20:30.120 to Patriot Mobile,

00:20:31.300 they are going to make

00:20:32.140 an initial donation

00:20:33.240 to an organization

00:20:35.100 that helps protect

00:20:37.180 the lives

00:20:38.060 of unborn children.

00:20:39.760 It is pretty awesome.

00:20:41.260 And then every month

00:20:42.060 when you pay your bill,

00:20:43.180 they take a portion

00:20:44.240 of your bill

00:20:44.700 at no extra cost to you

00:20:45.600 and they give it back

00:20:46.300 to hardcore conservative

00:20:48.200 Christian organizations.

00:20:49.300 They stand up

00:20:50.040 for freedom of speech,

00:20:51.560 religious freedom,

00:20:52.580 the sanctity of life,

00:20:53.740 the Second Amendment,

00:20:54.820 as well as our military,

00:20:56.020 our veterans

00:20:56.460 and first responder heroes.

00:20:58.300 So you're going to have

00:20:59.000 a bill every month

00:20:59.700 for a cell phone.

00:21:00.440 Why not put it

00:21:01.600 with a company

00:21:02.360 that fights

00:21:02.960 for what you believe in?

00:21:04.400 100% U.S.-based

00:21:28.720 I want to get back

00:21:30.080 to the big story

00:21:31.260 number three of the week

00:21:32.220 you may have missed.

00:21:33.560 There is that famous tweet

00:21:36.020 or not tweet,

00:21:36.960 I should say WhatsApp message

00:21:38.440 that went viral

00:21:40.400 from Hunter Biden

00:21:41.460 sitting there

00:21:42.880 with his father

00:21:44.360 and it went to Xi.

00:21:46.360 That's the Chinese business partner

00:21:48.320 when they demanded their,

00:21:49.800 they closed their $10 million deal.

00:21:52.760 Now that text,

00:21:54.780 and we'll read it in a minute,

00:21:56.060 is now connected

00:21:57.820 to Joe Biden

00:21:58.980 paying nearly $2.75 million

00:22:01.580 in cash

00:22:03.260 for his beach house

00:22:05.480 within weeks

00:22:06.680 of Hunter sending

00:22:07.680 the threatening text

00:22:08.560 to that Chinese business partner

00:22:09.700 demanding to close

00:22:11.360 the $10 million deal.

00:22:13.600 Now this,

00:22:14.620 they bought this six bedroom

00:22:16.140 beach house

00:22:17.420 in June of 2017

00:22:18.740 for $2.744 million

00:22:20.700 in cash.

00:22:21.860 The transaction,

00:22:23.260 we now learn,

00:22:24.020 was that within weeks

00:22:25.020 of that questionable text

00:22:26.420 that Hunter sent

00:22:27.160 to that Chinese associate

00:22:28.220 demanding they get their money

00:22:30.320 and it be tonight

00:22:31.380 when he said,

00:22:32.060 I'm sitting here with my father

00:22:33.140 and we would like to understand

00:22:34.240 why the commitment made

00:22:35.900 has not been fulfilled.

00:22:37.780 Well,

00:22:38.380 you now put that together

00:22:40.840 with some other info

00:22:42.360 that we talked about

00:22:43.240 on this show

00:22:43.820 and the accounting problems

00:22:46.020 for the president

00:22:46.920 start to really glow

00:22:49.220 in front of you

00:22:50.160 off of the page

00:22:51.220 if you're an accountant.

00:22:52.740 What do I mean by that?

00:22:53.900 Well,

00:22:54.300 we're now learning

00:22:55.240 that there were some issues

00:22:56.800 with their taxes

00:22:57.660 and money that's missing.

00:22:58.900 In 2017,

00:23:00.260 the first year Joe Biden

00:23:01.820 was out of office

00:23:02.540 after 36 years in the Senate

00:23:04.080 and eight more as vice president,

00:23:05.760 the couple declared

00:23:06.480 an income of $11 million

00:23:07.840 and a further $4.58 million

00:23:11.280 in 2018.

00:23:13.240 Here's the problem.

00:23:14.640 Between 17 and 19,

00:23:16.900 Joe Biden,

00:23:17.520 the first lady,

00:23:18.780 reported $16.5 million

00:23:21.040 in gross income

00:23:22.000 on their federal tax returns.

00:23:24.000 That's what was released

00:23:25.240 by the Biden campaign.

00:23:27.660 An analysis published last year

00:23:29.660 shows a $5.2 million discrepancy

00:23:32.740 between his IRS filings

00:23:35.220 and his Office of Government

00:23:36.800 Ethics disclosures

00:23:38.100 for that same time period.

00:23:41.060 You combine this now

00:23:42.940 and you look at the Office

00:23:44.640 of Government Ethics

00:23:45.600 filing for the same period

00:23:47.220 and Joe only reported

00:23:48.980 $9.6 million in income

00:23:50.480 for himself and his wife.

00:23:53.200 Well, here's something else

00:23:54.320 that's interesting.

00:23:55.120 We now have an official check

00:23:56.660 for $200,000

00:23:58.000 that was written

00:23:59.400 from his brother

00:24:00.380 and his wife

00:24:01.600 to Joe Biden

00:24:02.560 on the same exact day

00:24:03.600 that money was transferred

00:24:04.620 in from a shady business deal.

00:24:06.280 So, we now have missing money

00:24:08.140 and a lot of cash

00:24:09.220 going to the president

00:24:09.920 and him paying

00:24:10.840 two plus million dollars

00:24:12.860 in cash for a house

00:24:14.620 and millions missing

00:24:17.300 from his filings.

00:24:19.780 Well, if you start adding

00:24:20.760 the money up,

00:24:21.420 you can see where

00:24:22.200 the money went.

00:24:22.920 It may have quite possibly

00:24:24.440 just gone directly

00:24:25.360 to his favorite place

00:24:26.500 to hang out on the weekends

00:24:27.340 at Beach House.

00:24:28.720 More and more news

00:24:29.840 keeps coming out

00:24:30.880 that is damning

00:24:32.140 of Joe Biden

00:24:32.960 and that ties him

00:24:34.020 personally

00:24:34.740 to the corruption

00:24:36.240 of his entire family.

00:24:37.720 His family had a business

00:24:38.900 and the business

00:24:39.780 was selling favors

00:24:41.440 from Joe Biden

00:24:42.260 and it was a very

00:24:43.000 lucrative business.

00:24:44.140 It was a business

00:24:44.860 that produced

00:24:46.120 tens of millions

00:24:47.500 of dollars.

00:24:48.660 We know about the WhatsApp

00:24:49.760 that Hunter sent

00:24:51.500 and I'll remind you

00:24:53.100 what it says.

00:24:54.060 I'm going to read from it.

00:24:55.360 Quote,

00:24:56.040 I am sitting here

00:24:56.820 with my father

00:24:57.460 and we would like

00:24:58.080 to understand

00:24:58.760 why the commitment made

00:24:59.820 has not been fulfilled.

00:25:01.480 Tell the director

00:25:02.240 that I would like

00:25:02.840 to resolve this now

00:25:03.940 before it gets out of hand

00:25:05.220 and now means tonight.

00:25:07.480 And Z,

00:25:07.900 if I get a call or text

00:25:09.020 from anyone involved

00:25:09.980 in this other than you,

00:25:11.540 Zhang or the chairman,

00:25:12.820 I will make certain

00:25:14.140 that between the man

00:25:15.540 sitting next to me

00:25:16.500 and every person he knows

00:25:17.580 and my ability

00:25:18.220 to forever hold a grudge

00:25:19.560 that you will regret

00:25:20.840 not following my direction.

00:25:23.080 I am sitting here

00:25:24.420 waiting for the call

00:25:25.460 with my father.

00:25:27.880 Now that was sent

00:25:29.000 on July 30th, 2017.

00:25:32.240 The month before

00:25:33.860 June of 2017,

00:25:35.880 it's now being reported

00:25:38.080 that Joe Biden

00:25:39.200 purchased his six-bedroom

00:25:41.920 Rehoboth Beach Beach House

00:25:43.400 for $2,744,001 in cash.

00:25:49.660 Now, I don't know about you,

00:25:51.320 but most people don't have

00:25:52.900 $3 million in cash

00:25:54.480 just laying around.

00:25:56.840 But if you're busy

00:25:58.560 shaking down

00:25:59.220 the Chinese communists

00:26:00.420 for millions of dollars,

00:26:01.840 and if you're busy

00:26:02.700 shaking down

00:26:03.360 Ukrainian oligarchs

00:26:04.500 for millions of dollars,

00:26:05.700 that has a way

00:26:06.880 of producing

00:26:07.620 millions of dollars

00:26:09.260 of cash laying around.

00:26:10.840 And I'll point out also

00:26:12.220 that we do not know

00:26:15.720 from GPS data

00:26:16.860 whether or not

00:26:18.520 Hunter Biden

00:26:19.140 was in fact

00:26:19.880 sitting next to Joe Biden

00:26:21.200 when he sent that text.

00:26:22.260 We would

00:26:22.700 if the Biden DOJ

00:26:26.040 had allowed

00:26:26.860 the investigators

00:26:27.820 to examine

00:26:29.140 that GPS data.

00:26:30.340 But explicitly,

00:26:31.680 according to the IRS

00:26:32.640 whistleblowers,

00:26:34.180 the Biden DOJ

00:26:35.460 said,

00:26:35.940 no,

00:26:36.240 you are not allowed

00:26:37.080 to check on GPS

00:26:38.640 whether Hunter

00:26:39.400 was telling the truth,

00:26:40.380 whether he's physically

00:26:41.400 sitting next

00:26:42.840 to Joe Biden.

00:26:44.100 Because as we've talked

00:26:45.240 about at great length,

00:26:46.440 it seems there's

00:26:47.640 no higher priority

00:26:49.040 for the Biden DOJ

00:26:52.960 than protecting

00:26:53.960 the Biden White House

00:26:55.240 from any accountability

00:26:57.460 or culpability

00:26:58.500 for his criminal conduct.

00:27:00.280 But we do know

00:27:01.020 that there's a photo

00:27:03.320 of Hunter Biden

00:27:04.200 outside of his father's

00:27:06.700 Delaware home

00:27:07.640 on the exact day

00:27:10.080 that he sent the text

00:27:11.500 to his Chinese

00:27:12.580 business partner.

00:27:13.520 So that certainly suggests

00:27:14.940 there's a lot of smoke there

00:27:17.540 and the corporate media

00:27:19.160 has no interest

00:27:19.860 in examining

00:27:20.580 the fire

00:27:22.100 that produced that smoke.

00:27:23.300 James Comer

00:27:24.740 is a guy

00:27:25.260 that we've had

00:27:26.060 on this show before

00:27:27.000 and he is a pretty

00:27:28.660 mild guy.

00:27:29.720 I don't know

00:27:31.220 of a single instance

00:27:32.000 where I can say

00:27:32.740 he was,

00:27:33.860 you know,

00:27:34.160 on the record

00:27:34.720 as overstating something

00:27:35.980 and having to walk it back

00:27:37.100 with this investigation.

00:27:38.460 He's very,

00:27:39.580 very methodical,

00:27:41.380 very cool,

00:27:42.500 calm,

00:27:42.800 and collected.

00:27:43.880 He has been telegraphing

00:27:45.380 that this is just

00:27:46.540 the tip of the iceberg

00:27:47.560 and more direct

00:27:49.380 links of cash

00:27:50.480 to the Biden

00:27:51.280 president,

00:27:52.200 the president Biden,

00:27:53.380 right,

00:27:53.740 Joe Biden

00:27:54.420 from this family business

00:27:57.020 is going to be coming out

00:27:58.620 this week.

00:27:59.340 I think it's going to

00:28:00.420 shock everybody.

00:28:02.120 Well,

00:28:02.280 we already have

00:28:03.340 a check

00:28:04.260 that Joe Biden's

00:28:06.400 brother,

00:28:06.840 James Biden,

00:28:08.360 wrote to Joe

00:28:09.620 and it is a check

00:28:11.160 for $200,000

00:28:12.500 from his brother

00:28:14.460 in 2018

00:28:16.800 and it is the same day

00:28:18.580 that a distressed

00:28:20.200 rural hospital operator

00:28:21.960 wired $200,000

00:28:24.160 to James Biden

00:28:25.460 and his wife Sarah Biden

00:28:26.760 to their bank account.

00:28:29.080 And by the way,

00:28:30.060 in their bankruptcy filing,

00:28:31.860 they said

00:28:32.560 they were hiring Bidens

00:28:34.760 for political influence.

00:28:37.320 They were solely hiring them

00:28:38.960 because they thought

00:28:39.640 they could bring

00:28:40.120 an investor in

00:28:41.600 from overseas

00:28:42.300 and have political influence

00:28:44.660 over their company

00:28:45.400 to maybe help them

00:28:46.200 when they were

00:28:46.560 in financial distress.

00:28:48.440 That's in their actual

00:28:49.620 documents

00:28:51.080 from their bankruptcy filing

00:28:52.940 that no one

00:28:53.440 in the media

00:28:53.700 is covering as well.

00:28:55.080 Well,

00:28:55.680 the Daily Caller

00:28:56.480 has covered it

00:28:57.160 and here's what they said.

00:28:58.720 They said,

00:28:59.240 quote,

00:28:59.380 in 2018,

00:29:00.320 James Biden

00:29:00.920 received $600,000

00:29:02.320 in loans

00:29:03.740 from AmeriCorps,

00:29:05.420 a financially distressed

00:29:06.740 and failing

00:29:07.380 rural hospital operator.

00:29:09.440 According to

00:29:10.120 bankruptcy court documents,

00:29:11.620 James Biden

00:29:12.260 received those loans,

00:29:13.740 quote,

00:29:14.640 based upon

00:29:15.460 representations

00:29:16.340 that his last name

00:29:17.780 Biden

00:29:18.700 could open doors

00:29:20.580 and that he could obtain

00:29:22.200 a large investment

00:29:23.740 from the Middle East

00:29:24.720 based on his

00:29:26.140 political connections.

00:29:27.400 Now,

00:29:27.520 you might say,

00:29:28.020 okay,

00:29:28.460 that's James,

00:29:29.620 that's the brother,

00:29:30.420 he's just selling

00:29:31.240 influence and access.

00:29:32.540 Well,

00:29:33.700 except for the fact

00:29:34.720 that he wrote

00:29:35.400 a $200,000 check

00:29:37.740 and in fact,

00:29:38.920 the Daily Caller

00:29:39.900 continues,

00:29:40.520 quote,

00:29:40.760 on March 1st,

00:29:41.500 2018,

00:29:42.240 AmeriCorps

00:29:42.680 wired a $200,000 loan

00:29:44.500 into James and Sarah

00:29:45.900 Biden's personal

00:29:46.640 bank account,

00:29:47.340 not their business

00:29:47.920 bank account.

00:29:49.320 And then on that

00:29:50.380 very day,

00:29:51.760 James Biden

00:29:52.620 wrote a $200,000

00:29:53.920 check from the

00:29:54.860 same personal

00:29:55.760 bank account

00:29:56.520 to Joe Biden.

00:29:57.800 So it's very hard

00:29:58.620 for Joe Biden

00:29:59.320 to claim

00:29:59.780 he has nothing

00:30:00.640 to do with it

00:30:01.480 when the check

00:30:02.460 is made out

00:30:03.260 to Joe Biden

00:30:04.040 for that exact amount.
