The House Oversight Committee chairman vowing to hold Wray in contempt of Congress if he doesn't deliver the file for what... | |
| Would be the third time. | ||
| Brooke Singman has more. | ||
| Brooke, good morning. | ||
| Hey, good morning, guys. | ||
| House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a subpoena for this Biden document nearly a month ago, but he said today is the final deadline for the FBI to comply before holding the bureau in contempt. | ||
| Comer saying in a statement, quote, the FBI's refusal to provide this single document is obstructionist. | ||
| If Director Wray refuses to hand over this unclassified record, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings. | ||
| Now, Wray reportedly responded by calling Comer and setting up a phone call for tomorrow, but the chairman says their meeting will not impact today's deadline, arguing it should not have taken the threat of contempt for Director Wray to reach out. | ||
| Now, in their own statement last week, The FBI defended withholding that file, appearing to refer to it as a confidential source information. | ||
| Now, despite Republicans maintain that it has been declassified. | ||
| Now, Democrats are rallying behind the FBI and calling out the GOP's oversight efforts. | ||
| According to Congressman Jerry Connolly, this is, quote, part of the assault on the FBI that the Republicans have launched, fueled by Trump's hatred of the FBI. | ||
| Now, Congressman Jamie Raskin, the ranking member on that committee, is going further labeling the threat of contempt as, quote, a ludicrously overblown response. | ||
| But House Republicans say the American people actually want them to hold the FBI accountable, even floating impeachment proceedings to do so. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| I've signed on to an impeachment bill for Director Wray. | ||
| I think the House needs to move forward with this. | ||
| We now have direct evidence that they are retaliating against whistleblowers who are protected under the law via Congress, and we need to take action. | ||
| If we don't, the American people are just going to shake their head and wonder why Republicans are in charge of the House and nothing happens to the individuals that are violating our laws. | ||
| We'll see how the FBI responds later today. | ||

They'd even take cash right out of the drop boxes. | |
| And it was up to this guy right here, standing in front of about $2 million, to skim the cash off the top without anybody getting wise. | ||

| Because you're going to want to follow a little train of thought that we have for you today on this show. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I have to present to you a very important piece of... | ||
| Historic information. | ||
| A piece of media that needs to live for all time inside of the statuary hall of presidential lies. | ||
| I didn't have sex with that woman, said Bill Clinton. | ||
| Well, there's a big lie. | ||
| I am not a crook, says Richard Nixon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll see. | |
| I mean, we'll see. | ||
| The verdict's out on Richard Nixon. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Very interesting, the more I read about Watergate. | ||
| But nonetheless, presidential lies. | ||
| And then Barack Obama. | ||
| If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. | ||
| But what about this one, where Joe Biden shoves his finger in the face of Peter Doocy and said, Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? | ||
| I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. | ||
| Here's what I know. | ||
| I know Trump deserves to be investigated. | ||
| He is violating every basic norm of a president. | ||
| You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader, trying to intimidate a foreign leader, if that's what happened. | ||
| That appears what happened. | ||
| You should be looking at Trump. | ||
| Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum. | ||
| And he's using the abuse of power. | ||
| And every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me. | ||
| Everybody looked at this and everybody's looked at it and said there's nothing there. | ||
| Ask the right question. | ||
| Joe Biden looking down the barrel of the cameras and saying, I've never spoken to my son about his business dealings, ever. | ||
| Curious that, because when you crack open Hunter Biden's laptop, you open it right up and you have a little looky-poo at the messages that Hunter Biden was receiving during one of his crackbenders in the year 2018. | ||
| Well, you'll come up with a message like this. | ||
| And I have this piece of information to bring to you this very morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exclusive! | |
| You need a safe harbor. | ||
| I can work with your father alone! | ||
| Says Jim Biden. | ||
| Sent to Hunter. | ||
| To suggest that Joe was on their payroll. | ||
| That Joe was leading the crime family. | ||
| What? | ||
| I can work with your father alone. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Let's unpack this, baby. | ||
| Because this is an important one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is the big one. | |
| Alright, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Jonathan Turley, one of our favorite legal analysts, writing for the New York Post. | ||
| In 2018, Hunter Biden's world was collapsing. | ||
| The New York Times had run a big story on one of his shady deals. | ||
| A Chinese energy deal. | ||
| The China oil conglomerate that was going to pay Hunter Biden a lot of money to make sure that they got American oil pumped directly into their communist system. | ||
| It appears that Hunter was in free fall. | ||
| And that Jim Biden reached out in newly discovered messages to offer him a safe harbor. | ||
| Safe harbor. | ||
| The exchange is insightful into the train wreck of a life that the scion of one of the most powerful families in the country once led. | ||
| However, it is also an insight into the world of influence peddling, where millions of dollars simply evaporated into the coffers of the Biden family. | ||
| On his face, the messages seem to contradict public statements from President Biden over the foreign influence peddling scam that Hunter ran with his drug-infused, destructive lifestyle. | ||
| The Times story, the New York Times story, caused panic in the Biden family. | ||
| Despite large support of media, the Bidens had long been known for influence peddling. | ||
| Jim Biden repeatedly criticized for marketing his access to his brother across the world. | ||
| To some of the worst regimes on Earth, Hunter knew the New York Times story was just the tip of the iceberg. | ||
| There were deals all over with foreign figures worth millions, and these figures with close ties to foreign intelligence or bad regimes. | ||
| As revealed recently by the House Oversight Committee, the Bidens constructed a labyrinth of corporations and accounts to transfer millions of these deals into various Biden family member coffers, including their grandkids. | ||
| Nevertheless, Joe Biden repeatedly claims that he had no knowledge of his foreign business dealings. | ||
| Those denials are patently false, writes the New York Post. | ||
| Hunter's Abaddon laptop includes pictures of appointments for Hunter's foreign business dealings and associates with Joe Biden. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, those meetings include arrested figures inside of the Communist Chinese Party. | ||
| In a message from his father, Joe Biden says, I think you're in the clear. | ||
| To Hunter Biden. | ||
| Jim Biden, that's Joe's brother, appears to rush to try and fix the issue with Hunter Biden spiraling into a cocaine and crack-fueled bender. | ||
| He assures him in a text message, I can be a safe harbor. | ||
| I can work with your father alone. | ||
| You have the smoking gun. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Where the hell is the special counsel? | ||
| You finally have the smoking gun. | ||
| Now, you've all seen it from a mile away. | ||
| You've heard it through whistleblower after whistleblower. | ||
| Joe Biden was in charge of this sloppy, dime-store, influence-peddling family that took money from these corrupt individuals all around the world in order for favors from the American government. | ||
| They saw the Clintons do it, and they said, why can't we have a piece? | ||
| And now we have, finally, the message for you to see and for all the world to see. | ||
| Directly from the Biden family, yeah, Joe's in charge. | ||
| I can work with your dad alone on these corrupt scam deals. | ||
| Go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, as the investigation into Hunter continues, we are still learning more from his laptop. | |
| Take a look at one text recovered by the Daily Mail. | ||
| This is from Jim Biden, Joe's brother, to Hunter. | ||
| He writes, So maybe Joe did know a thing or two about the family business after all? | ||
| I'm going to have to start banning Fox Clips. | ||
| Like, what is going on at that network? | ||
| Where's Jason Chaffetz recording that? | ||
| Like, inside of a water closet in a Wendy's? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| It's, like, so embarrassing. | ||
| Nonetheless, that's the text message. | ||
| The Daily Mail article, you can actually see the text message for yourself. | ||
| It's important to actually show you the evidence. | ||
| We will actually deliver to you the actual evidence. | ||
| We'll put it on screen for you. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Direct from Hunter Biden's laptop. | ||
| Yes, yes, we can work with Joe on all these deals. | ||
| We just need a little more time. | ||
| We just need you to come back home, Hunter. | ||
| Hunter, of course, was in the midst of a spiraling bender at the time. | ||
| He was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on sex workers, on sex-trafficked workers. | ||
| He was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on crack cocaine, smoking carpet Parmesan. | ||
| And more importantly, he was ranting like a lunatic on his voicemails back and forth with his father, which we now have because of the laptop that he dropped off inside of a cocaine-fueled bender. | ||
| And we've actually spoken with that laptop repair shop owner. | ||
| But nonetheless, it's important to actually look at the mental state of Hunter Biden in this moment. | ||
| Luckily, we can hear the mental state of Hunter Biden in this moment. | ||
| This New York Times article... | ||
| Dropping the information about the corrupt Chinese business relationship was a doozy. | ||
| It led to a rant like this where Hunter Biden straight up names his father as one of his co-conspirators here. | ||
| Where the hell is the special counsel? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen. | |
| I get calls from my father to tell me that the New York Times is calling. | ||
| But my old partner, Eric, who literally has done me harm for I don't know how long, is the one taking the calls because my father will not stop sending the calls to Eric. | ||
| I have another New York Times reporter calling about my representation of the, literally, Dr. Patrick Coe, the spy chief of China, who started the company that my partner, who was worth $323 billion. | ||
| Found it. | ||
| It is now missing. | ||
| The richest man in the world is missing, who was my partner. | ||
| He was missing since I last saw him in his $58 million apartment and signed a $4 billion deal to build the largest LNG court in the world. | ||
| And I am receiving calls from the Southern District of New York, from the U.S. Attorney himself. | ||
| My best friend in business, Devin, has named me as a witness without telling me. | ||
| In a criminal case. | ||
| And my father without telling me. | ||
| My father! | ||
| Dun-dun-dun! | ||
| All the dramatic, all the drama there, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| It's pretty clear what's happening. | ||
| Right now, what's happening is the greatest mop-up job ever in American political history. | ||
| The evidence against the Bidens is demonstrable. | ||
| It's insurmountable. | ||
| There's no getting out of this. | ||
| The Bidens are controlled opposition for the deep state. | ||
| The Bidens are controlled emissaries, not opposition. | ||
| They can be done away with at the flick of a pen. | ||
| It's good to have leverage over people. | ||
| When you have leverage over people, you can completely control them. | ||
| And this is great to be able to control a president of the United States. | ||
| How long have the presidents of the United States been completely and totally subservient to our deep state? | ||
| Can you even become a president of the United States without being totally subservient to our deep state? | ||
| These people know that with the flick of a wrist, they could put the Bidens, all of them, in prison. | ||
| And there's the power. | ||
| There's the leverage. | ||
| There's the crime family. | ||
| The Bidens are sloppy. | ||
| They're dirty. | ||
| They're stupid. | ||
| The evidence is unbelievable against them. | ||
| And we're going to get into the contempt charges because even Kevin McCarthy moments ago is out saying, yo, I'm going to bring contempt charges against the FBI director. | ||
| That will be submitted to the Department of Justice because they are hiding the evidence of this. | ||
| The Bidens were sloppy. | ||
| The Bidens were greedy. | ||
| The Bidens were pigs in slop. | ||
| And they went for this money. | ||
| And they went gangbusters. | ||
| And then, like, all evil individuals, they ended up collapsing under their own corruption. | ||
| You can listen. | ||
| I mean, listen. | ||
| So, you got the text message now. | ||
| This is the brand new news from this morning. | ||
| That you have the text message from Jim Biden saying, Hey, yo, Hunter! | ||
| Hunter! | ||
| I can work with your dad alone! | ||
| We're just gonna use Joe! | ||
| We're just gonna get more deals! | ||
| It's gonna be great! | ||
| It'd be a lot easier to hear Joe Biden. | ||
| Talk with his son literally about their dirty business dealings. | ||
| And luckily, we have that voicemail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, pal. | |
| It's Dad. | ||
| It's 815. | ||
| On Wednesday night, if you get a chance to give me a call. | ||
| Nothing urgent. | ||
| Just wanted to talk to you. | ||
| I thought the article, at least the thing on online, was going to be printed tomorrow night. | ||
| It was good. | ||
| I need you clear. | ||
| Anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hmm, I think you're in the clear. | ||
| Is that what you do? | ||
| It was just Mother's Day. | ||
| Father's Day is up around the corner. | ||
| You call your dad? | ||
| Call your dad on Father's Day? | ||
| Hey, Dad. | ||
| Dad, I think you're in the clear. | ||
| Happy Father's Day. | ||
| Your dad would be like, get over here, son. | ||
| I'm going to beat your ass. | ||
| I'm going to take my belt off. | ||
| I don't care how old I am. | ||
| What do you mean I'm in the clear? | ||
| What are you accusing me of? | ||
| You don't say that to your family. | ||
| Royce's dad just won high political office. | ||
| Royce's dad, Rolls Royce's dad, is going to the House of Representatives here in Florida. | ||
| And Royce doesn't end. | ||
| Royce, do you end your conversations with your father? | ||
| I think you're in the clear. | ||
| When your dad won, when your dad won his house seat, did you go, you're in the clear. | ||
| Good job, dad. | ||
| You got him. | ||
| You got him, dad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Way to go. | |
| Way to go. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
| Whatever FBI, you know, Royce's FBI agent is probably listening in. | ||
| He's like, no, he never said that. | ||
| He never said that. | ||
| We know for a fact. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, it's not something that innocent people say to each other. | ||
| These aren't innocent people. | ||
| They're controlled. | ||
| They want the most corrupt leaders. | ||
| They want the dumbest leaders. | ||
| They want controllable leaders because the people who actually run this country aren't elected. | ||
| The people who run this nation aren't elected. | ||
| We didn't elect these people. | ||
| They don't stand on a ballot. | ||
| It's fugazi. | ||
| It's fugazi. | ||
| And the Bidens are, of course, endemic in all of this. | ||
| They are useful because they are so corrupt. | ||
| Reading back from the article, Jonathan Turley is such an excellent piece here in the New York Post. | ||
| Hunter Biden was non-communicative with his family, but he was still gushing money. | ||
| He had previously complained that Russians had blackmail material on him. | ||
| He was in danger, and he was not just a danger to himself. | ||
| In a later book, Hunter would admit that he was a crack addict and an alcoholic. | ||
| Oh, and by the way, what blackmail material do the Russians have on him? | ||
| Well, ladies and gentlemen, don't go searching for it. | ||
| Russian media has come forward with, let's just say, material on Hunter Biden that we cannot authenticate, but certainly we wouldn't be able to play on this show. | ||
| It is of such a graphic and repulsive, repugnant, despicable nature. | ||
| God help these people's souls. | ||
| They may not get justice in this world, but they'll get justice in the next. | ||
| These people are truly, truly despicable. | ||
| If you have a strong stomach, maybe you can go search for it. | ||
| We ain't gonna play this stuff on the show, though. | ||
| Tell you what, though, the Russians apparently did have blackmail material on Hunter Biden. | ||
| Hunter Biden was a crack addict drinking quarts of vodka around the clock, smoking crack around the clock, according to interviews. | ||
| Given these admissions, why were so many foreign figures rushing to give this human wrecking ball millions of dollars? | ||
| He not only lacked expertise in areas like energy or mining, he was barely able to function. | ||
| The answer seems clear. | ||
| Influence peddling has long been the favored form of corruption in Washington, D.C. These latest messages add a particularly sad element to the scandal that Joe and Jim Biden, these are the two brothers, were propping up a man who could barely function. | ||
| Hunter was still a conduit for the millions in foreign money. | ||
| There was a firebreak between the money and any scandal. | ||
| This was made evident in a recent rare sit-down interview where Joe Biden said he still doesn't have any, has no idea what was going on inside of these business deals. | ||
| Here's the truth. | ||
| Here's the truth. | ||
| You get in bed with these kind of criminals? | ||
| You get tied up with dirty people like Joe Biden? | ||
| Joe Biden who abandoned his first wife? | ||
| Who cheated on his first wife with the babysitter? | ||
| That's who Jill Biden is? | ||
| You know that? | ||
| Is that written in the love story that gets told every Valentine's Day? | ||
| That Joe Biden was the babysitter homewrecker? | ||
| That was cheating on her husband with Joe? | ||
| These people are scum. | ||
| Joe Biden won't acknowledge his own granddaughter. | ||
| He won't acknowledge the existence of his granddaughter, Navy Jones Roberts. | ||
| I know the name of his granddaughter. | ||
| If I get stuck in an elevator and I get one chance to ask Joe Biden to name a question, I'll probably ask him how many grandkids you got. | ||
| I think the answer to that alone would be so telling. | ||
| It's a dirty person. | ||
| And they're going to throw his own son under the bus, I'm telling you. | ||
| They're going to throw Hunter Biden in the wood chipper. | ||
| That's what Hunter Biden's there for. | ||
| Hunter Biden's going to get smacked with these criminal charges. | ||
| He's going to have to do some time, and he's going to be the fall guy for all this. | ||
| Until Republicans actually take control of the executive, and then they can order a new investigation. | ||
| And what should happen is a special counsel. | ||
| Because Joe Biden is now so complicit in all of this, that's why you present special counsels. | ||
| You present special counsels because if the chief law enforcement officer in America, the attorney general, answers to a corrupt person who could be complicit inside of a crime, the president of the United States, well then you gotta have walls that separate those entities. | ||
| How corrupt are the Bidens? | ||
| Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have a long and laborious string of whistleblowers that explain exactly how corrupt this family is and exactly what they're about to do. | ||
| They're going to make Hunter Biden the fall guy. | ||
| Mark my words. | ||
| They're going to... | ||
| Hunter Biden was the key to all of this. | ||
| He was the go-between. | ||
| You couldn't have Joe doing these deals directly. | ||
| You had to have Hunter. | ||
| You had to have the bag man. | ||
| It's actually convenient to have a useful moron. | ||
| It's convenient to have a broken, stupid person carrying the bags of cash between the family members. | ||
| If you want to look for the real brains, you look at Joe, and then you look at Jim Biden. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the first whistleblower is a guy who is an Obama employee. | ||
| He's the guy who flew with the Bidens to Ukraine. | ||
| This guy traveled with them. | ||
| He's the stenographer. | ||
| He wrote down all their crimes. | ||
| And he's saying he has the evidence to put Joe in jail. | ||
| Go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I went to the FBI and filled out their witness tip line. | |
| There's a website. | ||
| You fill out all these tips, these web directions. | ||
| I submitted it. | ||
| If you lie to the FBI when you're submitting a tip like that, you can go to jail. | ||
| I'm not lying. | ||
| I'm telling the truth. | ||
| Joe Biden is lying. | ||
| Joe Biden is a criminal. | ||
| That's the bottom line. | ||
| I don't care if he goes to Timbuktu or Islander anywhere. | ||
| He's a criminal. | ||
| And I've got the evidence. | ||
| If they put me in front of the grand jury that's right now seated in Wilmington with Special Prosecutor David Weiss, my testimony becomes the evidence that will put him in jail or will lead to his impeachment. | ||
| Probably lead to his impeachment first. | ||
| So you're saying that Joe Biden wasn't going to Ukraine to fight corruption. | ||
| Joe Biden was going to Ukraine to help the natural gas industry. | ||
| At the time, he knew that his son was on the board of the biggest natural gas business conglomerate in Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
can't. | |
| That's exactly right. | ||
| Yep, that's exactly right. | ||
| So Joe Biden was the corruption. | ||
| Joe Biden wasn't going to Ukraine to fight corruption. | ||
| Joe Biden was the corruption. | ||
| boy, it'd be helpful if we had the guys who actually, I don't know, signed the checks inside the Biden company, influence peddling company, come forward and say, hey, yo, Joe's the big guy. | ||
| I didn't generate that email. | ||
| James Gillier generated that email. | ||
| And in that email, James Gillier goes through intimate detail of what each individual's requests were from a compensation perspective and how the equity in the enterprise would be divvied up. | ||
| Very important. | ||
| May 13th. | ||
| That email was generated by somebody else to me. | ||
| In that email, there's a statement where they go through the equity. | ||
| Jim Biden's referenced as, you know, 10%. | ||
| Doesn't say Biden, it says Jim. | ||
| And then it has 10% for the big guy held by H. I 1,000% sit here and know that the big guy is referencing Joe Biden. | ||
| That's crystal clear to me because I lived it. | ||
| I met with the former vice president in person multiple times, and I had been meeting and talking with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden and Rob Walker and James Gilliam. | ||
| I'm like, conservative media, the fact that every show forever isn't based on this, this is how they were able to actually frame Trump. | ||
| Trump never did anything wrong. | ||
| Someone's going to have to show me a crime that Trump committed. | ||
| Trump ain't never did any crimes, but he did have to suffer through two impeachments. | ||
| Donald Trump had to suffer to a special counsel. | ||
| And you wonder why? | ||
| Because the left gets on message. | ||
| I am trying as hard as I can, and God bless you, and God bless everyone inside of the brigade, like, inside of this community. | ||
| Look, I try as hard as I can with leveraging as much muscle as we possibly can. | ||
| I've got 7 million followers across social media platforms. | ||
| We are going to use that, and if we had 14 million, or if we had 27 million, I would use every single... | ||
| Ounce of leverage and power to scream at the top of my lungs these crimes. | ||
| Why is not every single show on every conservative media podcast and network screaming these crimes? | ||
| It is getting on message that the left does, mainly because they are centrally coordinated and controlled, and I'm not necessarily arguing for that on the conservative side of things, but they get on message, and then they attack, and then they seize. | ||
| And they bring forward and bring to light. | ||
| And the noise becomes very, very loud. | ||
| Where the hell is the special counsel? | ||
| You got guys from the IRS inside of the, let's just call it the Biden regime, inside of Biden's own regime, coming forward saying, it is so corrupt that we cannot sit here idly any longer. | ||
| These whistleblowers have now come forward and are public. | ||
| They're like publicly known. | ||
| This guy was investigating Hunter Biden's tax crimes, could have charged Hunter Biden a year ago! | ||
| A year ago! | ||
| That's what the guy says! | ||
| He says we have him dead to rights on like 12 different violations. | ||
| And the Biden Department of Justice is not only saying you can't charge this guy, they're like removing the whistleblower now from this investigation. | ||
| It's a classic Stasi. | ||
| Soviet tactic. | ||
| And then what's next? | ||
| They ship the guy off to the concentration camp. | ||
| They make the guy go break rocks in Siberia. | ||
| This is what we're living through. | ||
| Watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately thought it was way outside the norm of what I've experienced in the past. | |
| Gary Shapley is a supervisory special agent for the IRS, where he's worked for 14 years. | ||
| In January 2020... | ||
| He was assigned to what he calls a high-profile investigation. | ||
| Who's the subject of the investigation? | ||
| I can't confirm or deny the subject of this investigation. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Because, you know, part of the tax secrecy laws don't allow it. | ||
| Shapley can't say it, but CBS News has learned the investigation was the probe of Hunter Biden by the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Delaware. | ||
| Senior Biden administration officials have vowed to let it run its course without interference. | ||
| It's not restricted in this investigation in any way. | ||
| But CBS News has obtained this letter Shapley's lawyers sent to Congress Monday alleging irregularities in DOJ's handling of the investigation. | ||
| Even with CBS's simping framing of this, you can see exactly what's happening here. | ||
| I mean, we're living through a bizarro world takeover of Unbelievable, magnanimous proportions. | ||
| What are we looking at here? | ||
| We're looking at the greatest cover-up for a corrupt family in the history of the presidency. | ||
| The Clintons, the Obamas, Nixon-Watergate. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, none of it adds up to this. | ||
| This is a full force. | ||
| A all-hands-on-deck. | ||
| Nine-alarm fire. | ||
| That the Bidens, who were so corrupt and who were so sloppy in their dealings, need to have a cleanup on the entire store in order to protect them. | ||
| That's what we're looking at here. | ||
| Because now you have 20 different whistleblowers. | ||
| You have Biden's own accountant is working with the GOP Oversight Committee. | ||
| Hunter Biden's top financial lieutenant, Eric Schwerin, is expected to provide documents to the House Oversight Committee's investigation of the Biden family. | ||
| Nine violations, including money laundering, wire fraud, spokesperson for Breitbart News has learned. | ||
| Schwerin, who shared a bank account with Joe Biden, is dubbed the family's money man. | ||
| He maintained guest lists for the White House functions and negotiated settlements with Hunter's first wife. | ||
| Schwerin was deeply embedded in Hunter's personal life. | ||
| He's now working with Republicans. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Our Republican Congress is the only thing standing between us and, like, this entire tyrannical system sitting there and absorbing and protecting the Bidens. | ||
| That's what's happening now. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy's out this morning with a flamethrower saying, yo, listen. | ||
| We gotta start bringing contempt charges against the FBI Director Christopher Wray. | ||
| Because FBI Director Christopher Wray has a document called an FD-1023. | ||
| And that document is a document that hoovers up clandestine information from around the world. | ||
| It gets brought into the FBI, and what do they hoover up from the sources in a different country? | ||
| Well, on the phone calls and the wiretaps, Are the Bidens. | ||
| The Bidens themselves doing these deals, promising and currying favors for money. | ||
| You give me money, I'll give you American policy. | ||
| And the FBI has the documents, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We'll get to them in just a second. | ||
| But first, you gotta learn, and you gotta be able to think. | ||
| And you gotta be able to trust your mind. | ||
| In these moments, you gotta be able to trust the process and the function of your own brainstem. | ||
| And that is why it's important to develop your own brainstem. | ||
| It's wild going through and looking at, like, we've been doing a lot of reporting on Target recently, and I actually went into a Target for the first time in, like, years. | ||
| And I looked around, like, everything's on, like, a second grade reading level. | ||
| If you teach your kids how to think and how to read and how to actually process, they're gonna be superheroes. | ||
| And you should consider doing that with Freedom Project Academy. | ||
| Freedom Project Academy is a K-12 online, on-demand learning course for homeschooled kids, for kids that you don't want to send into the system to be dumbed down. | ||
| Freedom Project Academy is built on Judeo-Christian values and classical curriculum. | ||
| They're dedicated to the mastery of the subject matter and teaching kids how to think, not what to think. | ||
| You should consider sending your kids to Freedom. | ||
| Freedomforschool.com. | ||
| Freedomforschool.com, where you can see the curriculum, you can meet the teachers, you can preview the courses, you can see everything your kid's going to learn. | ||
| We cannot afford to hand over another generation to these leftist radicals and these psychopaths, these Marxists. | ||

| That's freedomforschool.com. | ||
| Christopher Wray is going to call James Comer today, apparently. | ||
| To get this FD-23. | ||
| Now, what happens in these situations is the FBI always says, sources and methods! | ||
| Sources and methods! | ||
| We can't reveal our sources! | ||
| This is the deep state tactic to keep the information from the public. | ||
| This is how they kept the Kennedy files for all these years. | ||
| But James Comer is saying, that dog don't hunt. | ||
| Today is officially the deadline. | ||
| Christopher Wray is about to break. | ||
| Watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a very serious accusation. | |
| This accusation fits a pattern that we uncovered, especially in Romania, where then-Vice President Biden visits a country, talks about foreign policy and foreign aid. | ||
| And then two weeks later, his family starts getting bank wires from foreign nationals in this country to the different Biden family members. | ||
| We also want to know what exactly the FBI did to investigate this very serious... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's Ukraine. | ||
| It's Ukraine. | ||
| We're going to do a special this week because we know exactly what this FT1023 shows. | ||
| And so does Comer because Comer has the bank records. | ||
| He's gone in and reviewed them. | ||
| This is the biggest bombshell story of our time. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I'm going to keep covering it. | ||
| I don't care! | ||
| There are a lot of things I'd like to talk about. | ||
| I really want to talk about the culture wars because we're winning those. | ||
| But I'm going to keep the pressure up on this. | ||
| Senator Mike Lee is going to join us in just a moment. | ||
| This is what we're going to talk about. | ||
| We're going to keep talking about it. | ||
| This is the largest political scandal of my lifetime. | ||
| And everyone, even on the conservative media talkosphere, seems to be like they took a bunch of no-dos. | ||
| And they're just like, not paying attention to this. | ||
| No, man. | ||
| We've got to pay attention. | ||
| We've got to get these documents. | ||
| And the reason why you get impeachments against Donald Trump for nothing, the reason why you get special counsels against Donald Trump for hoaxes, It's because the left kept the heat up. | ||
| That's what we're going to do. | ||
| Multiple 1023 forms were created because of the Biden corruption. | ||
| Multiple, according to James Comer. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| I thought there was just one. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Our specific request, first of all, said we want any... | ||
| Form 1023 dated in August 2020 with the word Biden on it. | ||
| And you know what they came back and said, Sean? | ||
| They said, well, that would just be too many documents. | ||
| We can't possibly prepare all that. | ||
| So, you know, a light bulb goes off. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| How many 1023s are there? | ||
| With the word Biden just for one month in 2020. | ||
| This is what we found with the Treasury, with the suspicious activity reports. | ||
| There were hundreds of these indicating potential wrongdoing of the Bidens with respect to financial transactions. | ||
| Now, the way that I understood the FBI, there are multiple. | ||
| Form 1023s pertaining to Biden. | ||
| So we had to narrow the focus to say, okay, Biden and the word $5 million. | ||
| So that's the Sean Hannity new live show that they're doing. | ||
| They have some studio audience there. | ||
| You probably don't watch Hannity. | ||
| We thank you for watching our show in the morning. | ||
| They bring in a live show now, the Hannity show. | ||
| Do you know that? | ||
| That's why you heard people laughing there. | ||
| But the laughter was justified. | ||
| Because what Comer is saying is, we said to the FBI, give us evidence of Biden's corruption that you have. | ||
| And they said, what? | ||
| You're going to have to get more specific. | ||
| What evidence? | ||
| Which box? | ||
| Which one do you want? | ||
| You're going to have to narrow that down, son. | ||
| And so they did. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this morning, moments ago, Kevin McCarthy was on Fox News saying the contempt charges will be brought. | ||
| We will be getting this information out of the FBI. | ||
| And trust me, I think that... | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I got thoughts on this. | ||
| I think that we're... | ||
| I think they're preparing to kick Biden. | ||
| I think they're preparing to kick Biden to the curb. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| You can see what Hillary Clinton was doing this weekend. | ||
| I think they're preparing to kick Biden to the curb. | ||
| This is my contention. | ||
| And Republicans are playing along with it, and they know they have the leverage on Biden. | ||
| They know they can end Biden in a moment. | ||
| And McCarthy is going to help him. | ||
| Watch. | ||
| Comer subpoenaed the document that he requested. | ||
| We have jurisdiction over the FBI, which they seem to act like we do not. | ||
| I personally called Director Wray and told him he needs to send that document. | ||
| Today is the deadline. | ||
| So let me not just tell you. | ||
| Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now. | ||
| If he misses the deadline today, I am prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him. | ||
| We have jurisdiction over this. | ||
| He can send us that document. | ||
| We have the right to look at that. | ||
| Republicans and Democrats alike in that committee. | ||
| And if he does not follow through with the law, we will move contempt charges against Christopher Wray and the FBI. | ||
| Dude, good for you, homie. | ||
| A lot of people! | ||
| A lot of people! | ||
| Not happy with Kevin McCarthy about the debt limit deal? | ||
| We're going to get into that with Mike Lee. | ||
| Mike Lee is not happy about the debt limit deal, but we'll see. | ||
| We'd like to hear more. | ||
| There's only so much you can do when you have a two-member majority, but here we are. | ||
| So, let's begin. | ||
| What is Christopher Wray doing today? | ||
| Christopher Wray has a scheduled phone call with the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to discuss information file. | ||
| That allegedly accuses Joe Biden being paid $5 million in a bribery scheme while vice president. | ||
| Comer, Kentucky Republican, issued a subpoena for the document nearly one month ago and set for Ray a deadline of Tuesday, today, before the committee takes action to hold him in contempt. | ||
| Your response to the subpoena is May 30th, 2023. | ||
| Let's check. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's today. | ||
| Comer warned Ray in a letter last week that if the FD-1023 is not produced by this date, the committee will initiate contempt proceedings. | ||
| And now you have Kevin McCarthy on board with that. | ||
| And quite effusively on board with that. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Yes, please. | ||
| More of that, daddy. | ||
| It's unclear whether the timing of the phone call portends to raise compliance, but the FBI has thus far refused to provide the file, citing concerns about informant confidentiality. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| My team is roasting me for saying daddy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh... | |
| Okay. | ||
| So, one. | ||
| If I'm a father of soon-to-be three, and I'm gonna make that four, nine, or ten? | ||
| Twenty? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Mike Lee's a Mormon. | ||
| Maybe he can tell me about having 20 kids. | ||
| Be happy to have that conversation with him. | ||
| I am a father. | ||
| Therefore, I reserve the right to use the term daddy anytime I want to. | ||
| Because I am one. | ||
| House Speaker Kevin McCarthy attempted to help mediate the dispute with a May 19th call to Ray, and he said afterwards that he thought the Bureau would comply. | ||
| The FBI has continued to tie itself in knots to ignore the legitimate subpoena from Congress. | ||
| There's a reason why Article 1 of the Constitution. | ||
| Says Congress. | ||
| Article 2, says the executive, Congress is in power. | ||
| Congress is a far more direct democracy and a far more direct voice of the people than the presidency was ever intended to be. | ||
| The presidency was never intended to be elected the way that we elect the president. | ||
| Actually, the original reading of the Constitution, we made dumb decisions. | ||
| So, what is... | ||
| This document. | ||
| And what will it say? | ||
| We know what it'll say. | ||
| It's Ukraine. | ||
| We know this from the whistleblower. | ||
| It's Ukraine. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be the reason for all of our troubles in Ukraine. | ||
| The cover-up. | ||
| Why is the super state and the permanent state in Washington, D.C. so obsessed with Ukraine? | ||
| Because so many dirty deeds and dirty dealings run through that proxy state for our U.S. American empire. | ||
| That is what Ukraine is, a proxy state. | ||
| And the Bidens went right through it! | ||
| Like a freight train through the Rockies! | ||
| Joe Biden didn't care. | ||
| Didn't give two road apples about Ukraine until his kids started getting paid. | ||
| And then we know, according to the whistleblower, who worked for the Obama administration, in case you're wondering, that Joe Biden suddenly became obsessed with developing the natural gas inside of Ukraine, spending 60 million American tax dollars in Ukraine, back in the day it seemed small, according to today's standards, on developing natural gas in Ukraine. | ||
| As soon as Hunter Biden gets a seat, a board seat, in that country, we also have phone calls, recorded, Not sure how, but nobody questions the authenticity of them. | ||
| On Joe Biden's last day as vice president, panicked talking with the president of Ukraine, telling him to nationalize Privat Bank and to potentially criminally indict Kolomoisky, who's the oligarch that ran everything there in Ukraine, Joe Biden covering up his dirty tracks. | ||
| We're going to lay it all out in a special later this week. | ||
| But we know exactly what this document's going to show, and we know exactly why they're holding it so tightly. | ||
| Christopher Wray sitting under his desk right now, grabbing hold of that document, staring at it, sweating profusely, knowing there's too many people who've seen this thing. | ||
| The FBI caught Joe Biden in a criminal scheme, and they have kept that from the American people. | ||
| The House of Cards falls soon, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And somebody who's going to help knock it all over is the great senator! | ||
| Senator, thank you so much for being on the program. | ||
| I know you're here to talk debt deal. | ||
| We're coming in hot from all this recent Joe Biden, FD1023 forms, and so on and so forth. | ||
| You're a constitutional scholar. | ||
| So, if you don't mind... | ||
| Can I just ask a constitutionalist question off the bat here, which is, who's in charge of the FBI? | ||
| The president. | ||
| The answer to any question about the executive branch of government, whenever you ask the question, who's in charge of that, it's always the president of the United States. | ||
| In theory, the president ought to be able to direct anyone in the executive branch to do what he wants, because the entire executive branch operates under him, or is supposed to. | ||
| Therefore, when things like this happen, It is fair to say that the president has some responsibility to oversee it. | ||
| It doesn't mean that he's always going to be able to prevent anything and everything bad from happening there. | ||
| But it does mean he has some responsibility over it. | ||
| If things are going badly and they continue to go badly, he owns that. | ||
| When the president is seemingly complicit and or involved in crimes like these or alleged crimes like these, if the... | ||
| FBI, who they do not deny that they have evidence of Joe Biden and influence peddling for millions of dollars and favors from the American government. | ||
| They don't deny that that exists. | ||
| Isn't this a blinking, screaming red light for a special counsel? | ||
| It seems like it, yes. | ||
| And it'll be interesting to see how the administration grapples with that question and whether or to what extent they can maintain any... | ||
| Any semblance of objectivity without that? | ||
| Look, I'm not always a fan of the use of special counsel appointments, but this does seem like the kind of case where it should be considered and has been implemented for far weaker reasons in previous administrations. | ||
| Final question on this topic, which is, as a constitutional scholar, I think it'd probably be you versus Ray and Paul in a grudge match for, like, the greatest constitutionalist in the Senate. | ||
| But you're Article 1. You represent Article 1, which is ahead of Article 2. You have oversight over Article 2, as our documents are written, as our founders intended. | ||
| It is your job to hold into account the executive branch, because I think that the founders... | ||
| Thought that the executive branch might go sideways. | ||
| And we're experiencing that right now. | ||
| a little insight as to how the Senate, I know you're in the minority, but how the Senate is considering holding into account the Biden administration on these fronts? | ||
| Yeah, look, I think as the Article I branch, our first and most important responsibility, and you alluded to this a moment ago, I think your words were ahead of Article II. | ||
| We're ahead of it both in the order in which the Constitution has set out, but we're also ahead of Article II in that We decide what powers belong to the federal government in the first place and how they're to be exercised. | ||
| And over time, as these abuses have been occurring, they become our responsibility. | ||
| The longer we wait before realizing, oh my gosh, we've created these behemoth agencies that are unmanaged and unmanageable. | ||
| We've at times adopted these excessively broad statutory terms. | ||
| That allow the executive branch to basically make up the law as they go along because they're written with such breadth. | ||
| And so, yeah, that is our responsibility, along with oversight. | ||
| In addition to setting the standards by which these entities exist and whether they exist at all, we also fund them. | ||
| Before we fund them in a year, we have to undertake these reviews and figure out whether there are things that we need to withhold from them until such time as they get Senator, you're not happy with this budget deal. | ||
| No, not at all. | ||
| Look, I really like the way this thing started out, Benny. | ||
| The Limit Save Grow bill that was passed by the House a month or so ago was fantastic. | ||
| It wasn't perfect, but it represented a very good faith effort to deal with the problem. | ||
| It's something that I could have supported. | ||
| Now, while I knew that Sure, negotiations happen, and it might not turn out exactly like the Limit, Save, Grow Act. | ||
| I would have expected, once the House all aligned on this, all but a handful of members voted for it, and it wasn't easy to get them to do it, I would have expected the final product negotiated by the Speaker to bear a closer resemblance to Limit, Save, Grow than what this bill has. | ||
| And despite lofty intentions and what may have been the The best of intentions by Speaker McCarthy going into this. | ||
| I think he might genuinely believe that most of the most significant reforms achieved by Limit Save Grow are still achieved by this bill. | ||
| They're just not. | ||
| When you read the text, when you read the fine print, as I have this nasty habit of doing, in almost no area does this even come close to doing what Limit Save Grow does. | ||
| And in some cases, the promised reforms that are still being promised to this day that are in this bill. | ||
| They're completely illusory. | ||
| It doesn't do what they claim that it does. | ||
| So I want to make sure that Republicans understand, number one, there's no reason why we should be forced to act on this so hastily that we're not able to review the text and fully understand what it does before passing this. | ||
| Number two, if in fact some of these provisions Our illusory in terms of the reforms they offer, we have to be able to fix those and not be bound by this agreement that the Speaker reached with the White House. | ||
| We weren't in those. | ||
| We weren't part of those. | ||
| We shouldn't be bound by those. | ||
| Number three, it's also important to remember that this shot clock that we think we're dealing with is itself largely illusory. | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| Look, we've got quarterly tax payments coming in on June 15th. | ||
| There's no reason why we couldn't maintain currency on everything we're doing with our existing payments on interest and principal on the debt as they become due. | ||
| No reason we couldn't make it at least to June 15th. | ||
| We can make it to June 15th. | ||
| That buys us another month or so of enough revenue to do what we need to do with the government. | ||
| I don't think we ought to wait until mid to late July. | ||
| To get this done, but I think we could get to mid to late July if we can just make it to June 15th. | ||
| So this false deadline, first Janet Yellen said June 1st, then she said June 5th. | ||
| We're now within 10 days of that June 15th window. | ||
| They can nurse this along until then. | ||
| There's no reason why we have to be acting as if the sky is falling, as if there are going to be dogs and cats living together in the streets in a Book of Revelations sort of way. | ||
| Unless we pass this very bill right now. | ||
| The Senate and the House both need time to digest this thing. | ||
| And Republican members in particular need time to be able to understand this bill doesn't do what they claim it does. | ||
| Well, I mean, dogs and cats living together, you know, don't give Target any ideas. | ||
| There'll be a whole month to celebrate that soon. | ||
| But going back to this, there's a lot of obviously... | ||
| Big budgetary terms that I think get lost on the American people. | ||
| Part of what makes the IRS agent fundings stick is that everyone hates the IRS. | ||
| This is like a real-world thing that someone can materialize and say, wait a second, do I want more or less interaction with the IRS? | ||
| And what has been my interaction with the IRS, good or bad? | ||
| And the vast preponderance of Americans would say, bad. | ||
| This doesn't get rid of the IRS funding that McCarthy promised he would defund. | ||
| So, huh? | ||
| It doesn't. | ||
| It doesn't get rid of it. | ||
| At best, it pays very minor lip service to it. | ||
| But that ignores the other gaping problems in this bill, of which this is only one. | ||
| So, time and time again, what we see is that he walked in there with a really good bill. | ||
| And he saw it dramatically watered down. | ||
| Now, we understand there was going to be some of that. | ||
| But you would expect to see where some provisions were watered down, others might be bolstered. | ||
| There ought to be a genuine give and take. | ||
| You would also expect that where they claim that we've still essentially got the protections, that those wouldn't prove to be illusory. | ||
| But in time and time again, when I look through the provisions of this bill, what I see are some really big gaps between what... | ||
| Republican senators and congressmen are being told by legislative leadership the bill does and what it in fact does. | ||
| That gulf is astoundingly large. | ||
| Is it the best that we can hope for? | ||
| I saw the big quotation from this debate is, we slowed spending. | ||
| Is that the best that we can possibly hope for now? | ||
| I mean, we're just controlled opposition. | ||
| We're just like, we're just like, it's not, it's like... | ||
| I don't know, what's the team that played the Harlem Globetrotters, right? | ||
| The Washington Express or something like that? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Is that what the Republican Party is now? | ||
| Yeah, one could make that argument. | ||
| We don't want our mantra to be Republicans. | ||
| Elect us and we'll make sure that government spends slightly less money than it would have spent under Democratic rule. | ||
| And Benny, when you look at what we've done here, you know, Limit Save Grow insisted on starting from FY 2022 discretionary spending levels. | ||
| Not a gargantuan leap to go back one year and say that ought to be our starting point. | ||
| They abandoned that and instead set the baseline spending numbers to FY 2023, the largest discretionary spending in our nation's entire history. | ||
| Then they put these anemic caps on that spending, which after the first two years are completely illusory. | ||
| It's not helpful. | ||
| They also claim that, you know, sure, there's no RAINS Act. | ||
| By the way, the RAINS Act, I think that was the single most valuable piece in Limit Save Grow. | ||
| If Limit Save Grow remained as it was, and this bill was otherwise as it now stands, but they incorporated the RAINS Act into it, I think they'd get a lot of us. | ||
| Who currently have concerns with the bill, who might well vote for it if they just added the RAINS Act provision, which of course requires Congress to ratify and affirmatively enact major rule new regulations so that, you know, we're not living by the edict of the executive branch of government every day without Congress having a say in it. | ||
| They took that out and they replaced it with what they call this regulatory PAYGO provision. | ||
| It's found in Section 263. | ||
| of the proposed negotiated debt ceiling package. | ||
| The only problem with that, there is a big problem with it. | ||
| Number one, it's not the same as RAINS. | ||
| It's weaker than RAINS substantially. | ||
| But number two, even more significant, in Section 265, they render that regulatory pay-go structure completely illusory by giving the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the OMB director, | ||
| can just decide, well, this is important to our delivery of Well, I mean, listen, you are negotiating with someone named Joe Biden. | ||
| He doesn't have any teeth left. | ||
| He's had all of his teeth removed. | ||
| Seems fair in that respect. | ||
| That's understandable. | ||
| I can, yeah. | ||
| Final, I mean, final question on this, and it's, I think... | ||
| A really good one. | ||
| Why not use it as a chance to go, like, why not, in a debate, in a negotiation, why not use this as a chance to go for the jugular? | ||
| We defund the FBI, we defund, like, the political FBI, okay? | ||
| Now, maybe not the whole thing. | ||
| Why not, like, use it as, like, I do a lot of debates, I do a lot of negotiations, day and night, I run a small business here. | ||
| Like, why not? | ||
| Like, why not go for broke on this thing? | ||
| It seems like a really smart time to do it. | ||
| It's not an election year, necessarily. | ||
| Like, this is a time to actually put our foot down. | ||
| Like, Republicans were handed this big majority. | ||
| Nobody wants us to spend more money in Ukraine, like, when America is defaulting. | ||
| Like, why not now? | ||
| Yeah, Benny, you've seized on one of the most important points of all this, and I can't emphasize this enough, which is the leverage was on our side. | ||
| The momentum was on our side. | ||
| Public opinion was starting to move toward our side. | ||
| We were in a really good position on this. | ||
| And I don't understand why he didn't take a firmer, more aggressive position when the administration had been completely unreasonable. | ||
| Look, we have to remember that Joe Biden waited 105 days after Kevin McCarthy's first outreach. | ||
| On this topic, to even entertain a conversation with them. | ||
| The entire time President Biden was just saying, no, it's my way or the highway. | ||
| You increase it without any spending conditions attached to it. | ||
| That's what I'm demanding. | ||
| And, by the way, he refused to talk to Speaker McCarthy during that entire time. | ||
| The American people saw that. | ||
| They watched that, Benny, and they realized that was unreasonable. | ||
| That's why public opinion was moving in our direction. | ||
| So why we would go to such a weak-sauce, watered-down version of the bill is beyond my ability to understand, especially when our bargaining power had never been stronger. | ||
| I don't see it. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| I hope that you win back the Senate. | ||
| It looks like the map's going to be really good, you know, and I hope you win back the Senate and then you can really put your shoulder to the wheel here. | ||
| I do too, Benny, but that too is important to remember here because when we do stuff like this, When Republicans do stuff like this, if this passes, and the American people see that, they're not dumb. | ||
| They're very smart. | ||
| They see what's happening. | ||
| They start to ask themselves the question, with Republicans like these, who even needs Democrats? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| If this is what Republicans are going to do, why should we go to all the effort to get Republicans elected in the first place? | ||
| This will hurt us. | ||
| It will harm our electoral prospects in 2024 with both houses of Congress and with the White House. | ||
| And it will hurt them substantially. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is a long shot, Benny, but I'm asking all within the sound of my voice, if you're a Republican member of the House or the Senate and you're thinking about voting for this, come talk to me or talk to somebody who's read these provisions. | ||
| Just read through it and you'll see for yourself, this bill doesn't do what they claim it does. | ||
| This juice is not worth the squeeze and there's not a whole lot of juice in it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, listen, like, From your mouth to God's ears, how are you going to run? | ||
| How are you going to run on this? | ||
| How are you going to run? | ||
| We're going to cut the government. | ||
| We're going to... | ||
| Fiscal responsibility. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| You've been proven a fraud. | ||
| You won't even defund the IRS agents. | ||
| You won't even defund the FBI. | ||
| This is the basic stuff. | ||
| We don't have the muscle to do it. | ||
| It's really, it's somewhat depressing, but it's, I guess, why we fight every single day and why we're proud to have fighters like you, Senator. | ||
| Where can people find your work? | ||
| Where can people follow along? | ||
| I hear you have a pretty based Twitter account. | ||
| I do. | ||
| It's super based. | ||
| It's at based Mike Lee. | ||
| At based Mike Lee on Twitter. | ||
| I'd love to have all of your viewers and listeners follow me on Facebook. | ||

| Ladies and gentlemen, we have good news for you. | ||
| Good news. | ||
| Good news. | ||
| I am the bearer of good tidings for you, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We have victories on the culture war front. | ||
| I report to you from the front lines of the culture war. | ||
| Bud Light is going out of business, man. | ||
| Target lost $10 billion because... | ||
| They went after our kids. | ||
| They went after our kids. | ||
| It really doesn't have to do with any, like, specific political agenda necessarily. | ||
| They're going after the kids with, like, this super radical sex cult stuff. | ||
| I mean, it's perverted. | ||
| It's Sodom and Gomorrah stuff. | ||
| And, like, we finally put our foot down, drew our line in the sand and said no. | ||
| And now they're getting absolutely blown up, baby. | ||
| Stock prices? | ||
| Boycott. | ||
| You know Boycott Target is the number one song in America? | ||
| Do we have that asset or no? | ||
| No? | ||
| Sad. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Boycott Target is the number one song in America right now. | ||
| Not just for a rap song. | ||
| For all songs. | ||
| It is the number one. | ||
| Let's get that clip loaded. | ||
| I want to play it for you. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| Target has lost $10 billion. | ||
| And we exposed them. | ||
| We helped expose... | ||
| We helped expose Target, ladies and gentlemen, by going through Target and actually finding out what they were doing. | ||
| And I was disgusted when I went through Target. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Boycott Target, number one song. | ||
| This is the rap songs. | ||
| The number one song in all of America. | ||
| Boycott Target is beating, by rapper Forgi Outta Blow and company, is beating Taylor Swift, Luke Combs, and Morgan Wallen. | ||
| For the top charts for the number one song in the whole nation. | ||
| We are powerful. | ||
| We're powerful, baby. | ||
| Wiped $10 billion off of Target's market cap in a weekend. | ||
| And we're just getting started. | ||
| Mama Bears. | ||
| Conservative Mama Bears. | ||
| I'm so proud of you. | ||
| Watch. | ||

Retail giant Target lost $10 billion of market value in 10 days as customers push back on the company's pride line. | |
| I feel that they're getting too extreme with this whole woke agenda, and they just need to ease off because you're going to lose a lot of customers. | ||
| Viral social media posts show Pride products geared towards children. | ||
| While Target insists its controversial tuck-friendly bathing suit for transgender women is only for adults. | ||
| The company responded to the backlash, writing in part, quote, Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior. | ||
| Target CEO Brian Cornell defended the decision, citing employee safety concerns. | ||
| Oh yes, employee safety. | ||
| Same tactic the FBI uses. | ||
| Sources and methods! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Employee safety! | ||
| You know they got called on that? | ||
| And the New York Times and the AP, they had to go and actually edit, self-edit their articles because there has been no employee confrontations. | ||
| There's no evidence of that. | ||
| It's just people saying, we ain't gonna shop there anymore! | ||
| It's us saying, we don't have to take it anymore! | ||
| Bud Light, Target. | ||
| Kohl's now, apparently? | ||
| Listen, the line is this. | ||
| Sell your rainbow mugs or whatever you want. | ||
| Nobody even cared. | ||
| You've been doing that for 20 years. | ||
| You know, it's rainbow in the Bible, right? | ||
| Noah and the Ark. | ||
| You don't get to own these things. | ||
| And whatever, right? | ||
| It's the kids, man. | ||
| We're drawing a line at the kids. | ||
| We're drawing a line. | ||
| There's the not-so-invisible box. | ||
| It's around the kids. | ||
| And now people are saying, like, we're through. | ||
| And Dylan Mulvaney with Bud Light is the same thing. | ||
| Like, his audience is primarily people under the age of 21 on this big platform for children called TikTok. | ||
| Bud Light knew what they were doing when they went to this specific influencer. | ||
| So, here we go. | ||
| We can make culture too. | ||
| We can push back too. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, boycott Target. | ||
| Is the number one song in the country. | ||
| We know the artist. | ||
| We don't get, obviously, paid for any promotion or anything like that. | ||
| But, like, we support the movement. | ||
| And so we're going to support the artist. | ||
| The artist is 4G Auto Blow. | ||
| And we're going to send off the show by playing you a clip from the actual music video. | ||
| Why not end the show in a music video, a music stinger? | ||
| We've never done that before. | ||
| We would never rob you of our verse of the day, of course, which ties in beautifully into this story from Corinthians, 2 Corinthians. | ||
| We look for things that are seen. | ||
| We look not for the things that are seen, but for the things that are unseen. | ||
| For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. | ||
| Our battles against these evil corporations are eternal. | ||
| They're for the souls of our children, and there is no greater battle. | ||
| So ladies and gentlemen, count me in on the Boycott Target song, the Boycott Target movement that is now number one in the country. | ||
| Take it away. |
