=== Inflation And The Trans Issue (05:20) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, what does inflation have in common with the transgender issue?
[00:00:06]  Well, when you think you can create money out of thin air, it sounds awfully similar to believing that you could change your gender at any time.
[00:00:14]  We talk about that and then we're joined by John Solomon, who walks through in great detail some new incredible revelations regarding Hunter Biden and Joe Biden commingling of finances.

[00:01:18]  Here we go.
[00:01:19]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:01:20]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:01:22]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:26]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:29]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:30]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:31]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:01:40]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:01:48]  That's why we are here.

[00:02:02]  So one of the reasons why we take such a strong stance and opinion on the trans issue is it's an issue of reality.
[00:02:10]  You do not get to determine your own reality.
[00:02:12]  Do not get to all of a sudden say, I'm rich or I'm poor.
[00:02:15]  No, we actually have to look at some evidence of whether or not you're rich or poor.
[00:02:18]  Now, some of those are relative terms, rich according to who, rich according to what.
[00:02:22]  I understand that.
[00:02:24]  But relatively, some of the terms we use, short, tall, you can't just make them up.
[00:02:29]  You say, oh, wow, that person is taller than that person.
[00:02:32]  That person is faster than that person.
[00:02:34]  That person is stronger than that person.
[00:02:36]  And one of the reasons why we've been so insistent against this idea you can change your gender or change your sex or change both of them is that when you start to indulge in the belief that you could become whatever you want and reality is subjective, not objective, you're going to have ramifications that nobody anticipated or intended.
[00:03:00]  So there is a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue.
[00:03:05]  You say, Charlie, come on, they couldn't be further apart.
[00:03:07]  No, they're exactly the same.
[00:03:08]  They're the same in this aspect.
[00:03:10]  When you believe that men could become women, why wouldn't you also believe that you could print wealth?
[00:03:15]  If you believe that someone can change their gender, why wouldn't you also believe that money is wealth?
[00:03:21]  Now, there are very simple laws of economics, just like there's laws of nature, those laws of physics, laws of thermodynamics, laws of biology.
[00:03:31]  We must live according to those laws.
[00:03:33]  We believe there's a lawmaker and a designer.
[00:03:36]  And being Christians, we believe those laws were made to be followed for our flourishing and our prosperity.
[00:03:42]  The law is a teacher.
[00:03:43]  The law is a guide to how to properly live.
[00:03:47]  You live in defiance to the law.
[00:03:49]  You lie, steal, or cheat.
[00:03:50]  You actually won't flourish.
[00:03:51]  You'll be miserable.
[00:03:52]  You'll be unhappy.
[00:03:53]  You'll get further from God's wish for you.
[00:03:56]  Now, outside of the religious component of this, we also believe there are laws of economics.
[00:04:02]  There are laws of economics just like there are laws of physics.
[00:04:05]  Now, a phenomenal book that I encourage everyone to read before you ever weigh in on economic matters is Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.
[00:04:14]  It's phenomenal.
[00:04:15]  It's an easy read.
[00:04:17]  I think it's like 200 pages at most.
[00:04:19]  And it goes through some of the laws of economics.
[00:04:22]  One of them, and this is from Mises.org, M-I-S-E-S.org.
[00:04:26]  My only regret when we were in Auburn, Alabama is not stopping by the Mises Institute, was that, quote, money is not wealth.
[00:04:33]  The value of money consists in its purchasing power.
[00:04:37]  Money serves as an instrument of exchange.
[00:04:40]  The wealth of a person exists in its access to goods and services he desires.
[00:04:44]  The nation as a whole cannot increase its wealth by increasing its stock of money.
[00:04:49]  This is a law of economics.
[00:04:51]  You can't change it just because you want to.
[00:04:54]  The principle that only purchasing power means wealth says that Robinson Crusoe would not be a penny richer if he found a gold mine on his island or a case full of banknotes.
[00:05:06]  The point being, of course, if you start to indulge in these pathological ideas that you can create your own reality on gender, then that very same sort of ideology will infect your financial institutions.

=== Pathological Ideas Infect Finance (04:43) ===

[00:05:20]  And that's precisely what's happening.
[00:05:22]  Yesterday, it came out that inflation is minimum 10%.
[00:05:26]  Now, if you actually use the calculation and the tabulation from years past, inflation is upwards of 20 to 25%.
[00:05:35]  Money is nothing more than a means of exchange.
[00:05:37]  It's a holder of value.
[00:05:39]  Now, without having to overthink this, we don't need to go into a whole economics lesson.
[00:05:44]  Happy to do that.
[00:05:45]  At one point, I think it might be necessary for our leaders to do it.
[00:05:48]  If you increase the money supply and you do not have a correlated amount of increased production of value, then you're going to have more bills than value and people will get poorer.
[00:06:00]  We're seeing increases on gas and rent and food.
[00:06:05]  Cut 39, CNBC, Bidenflation is hot, hot, hot.
[00:06:08]  Highest month over month inflation rate since 2005.
[00:06:11]  Play Cut 39.
[00:06:12]  All right.
[00:06:13]  Well, the headline number comes in as expected.
[00:06:16]  Hot, hot, hot.
[00:06:17]  It up 1.2%.
[00:06:19]  Up 1.2%.
[00:06:21]  That means that's the highest month over month inflation rate since 2005.
[00:06:26]  That's Rick Santelli, it sounds like, who's narrating that on CNBC?
[00:06:31]  But I wouldn't expect anything less from an administration that believes that people who give birth, women, are birthing people.
[00:06:39]  That's what they put in their document.
[00:06:41]  I wouldn't expect anything less.
[00:06:43]  But instead, we have the same sort of insanity that's now perverting our gender ideology, which there shouldn't even be in gender ideology, now messing up and confusing what we are doing economically.
[00:06:56]  Janet Yellen, who is the Treasury Secretary, she wants to save the world.
[00:07:02]  And instead of actually talking about opening up America's oil and natural gas dominance, instead of talking about how we will unleash the American entrepreneur, Janet Yellen is saying, what we have to do is decarbonize our economy.
[00:07:16]  Play cut 70.
[00:07:18]  The recent IPCC reports confirm that our window of opportunity to leave our planet worthy of our children and our grandchildren is even closer to being permanently shut.
[00:07:33]  We must redouble our efforts to decarbonize our economies, recognizing that countries will use a range of tools, including carbon pricing, regulation, and subsidies, to achieve needed emission reductions.
[00:07:50]  Now, Biden is trying to say, well, look, the prices that are being increased, it's all Putin's fault.
[00:07:55]  When you lose NBC on a key prov the talking point issue, you have a major problem.
[00:08:01]  Play cut 65.
[00:08:03]  In Iowa, President Biden is saying he's boosting the sale and production of ethanol-blended gasoline as a way to alleviate pain at the pump.
[00:08:11]  And again, blaming Vladimir Putin's Ukraine invasion.
[00:08:14]  I'm doing everything within my power by executive orders to bring down the price and address the Putin price hike.
[00:08:20]  But in reality, inflation has been soaring above 5% for nearly a year.
[00:08:25]  And our latest NBC News poll shows just 6% of Americans blame rising prices on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
[00:08:32]  38% blame President Biden and his policies.
[00:08:36]  The increase of gas prices correlated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine is very little.
[00:08:42]  Very little.
[00:08:43]  And even NBC agrees.
[00:08:45]  So in order to fix what's happening economically, we're left with very few choices.
[00:08:49]  We have to raise interest rates immediately.
[00:08:51]  It's not going to happen.
[00:08:53]  The Fed doesn't want that.
[00:08:54]  It would bring us to a recession.
[00:08:55]  But guess what?
[00:08:57]  We're long overdue for a recession.
[00:08:59]  We just are.
[00:09:00]  Recessions, as it happens right now, the fact we have not had a recession in 14 years is unrealistic.
[00:09:07]  It just is.
[00:09:08]  Now, we had a short recession during the COVID lockdowns, but then we create all this money to try to prevent it, and we're on this non-stop sugar high.
[00:09:16]  Recessions are awful.
[00:09:17]  People go through misery.
[00:09:20]  Depression goes up.
[00:09:21]  Suicide goes up.
[00:09:22]  All that happens.
[00:09:23]  But what's even worse than a recession is a full-fledged economic collapse.
[00:09:28]  And that's where we're trending.
[00:09:29]  But the leaders in charge are talking about decarbonizing the economy while people can't afford to drive 100 or 200 miles outside of their city.
[00:09:37]  They can't even afford to drive to work anymore.
[00:09:39]  But it's the same ideology when you do not believe that there are certain laws that anchor you to reality and that you can overcome those laws with science, technology, or expertise.
[00:09:51]  Science, technology, and expertise are the three things that the left believes that they have access to that gives them the willpower or the ability to reconfigure society and with it, human nature.

=== Economic Collapse Trends Now (04:59) ===

[00:10:04]  We as conservatives do not believe that.
[00:10:07]  We believe that human nature is a constant.
[00:10:11]  Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
[00:10:15]  Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
[00:10:21]  Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
[00:10:26]  One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
[00:10:31]  Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
[00:10:42]  So PAX Financial is wonderful.
[00:10:43]  They share our values.
[00:10:44]  In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
[00:10:51]  Stop using the woke money managers.
[00:10:54]  PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
[00:10:57]  So if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.
[00:11:08]  That's Charlie at number 74868.
[00:11:11]  That's Charlie to number 74868.
[00:11:14]  So you just take out your phone, text the number 74868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX Biblical Responsible Investing.
[00:11:24]  Biblical responsible investing strategy, take out your phone, text Charlie to 74868.
[00:11:31]  They're about to manage some money for me.
[00:11:33]  I really think highly of PAX Financial.
[00:11:35]  Text Charlie to number 74868.
[00:11:39]  It's really incredible to see how reliant the regime is on censorship.
[00:11:46]  It makes you wonder how conservative would this country be if we did not have widespread censorship.
[00:11:52]  One of the best examples of this is Joy Reed, who you shouldn't really take her that seriously, but I'm going to take what she says seriously here for a very important reason because the sentiment is now how they're going to smear Elon Musk.
[00:12:05]  So Elon Musk goes and buys billions of dollars of shares worth of Twitter.
[00:12:09]  And then, of course, everyone has to go attack him automatically because that's what they do.
[00:12:12]  Oh, no, you're going to go buy shares of Twitter.
[00:12:14]  I must hate you.
[00:12:15]  Really?
[00:12:15]  I thought you guys were all into kind of like the go-to-Mars, like green energy stuff.
[00:12:18]  No, according to Joy Reed, he's racist.
[00:12:21]  PlayCut 59.
[00:12:22]  Fear not, right-wingers.
[00:12:24]  Another bro fascist is waiting in the wings to defend your right to spew bile online in the name of free speech.
[00:12:30]  And that is coming up next.
[00:12:32]  He is building in Tesla a documentedly racist company that perhaps reminds him, gives him nostalgic memories of apartheid South Africa where he grew up.
[00:12:44]  He's more than that, an embodiment of what I would say is Twitter's biggest strategic problem, which is a hostile, cruel, dangerous online environment, especially for women, especially for people of color, women of color in particular.
[00:12:58]  It's amazing.
[00:13:00]  I think, I mean, if you want to, this is what I love about this whole thing.
[00:13:02]  Of course, it's nonsense that Elon is racist.
[00:13:04]  It's ridiculous.
[00:13:05]  But you know, this is what I love about that segment.
[00:13:07]  Elon will see that.
[00:13:08]  If you want to radicalize the world's richest man, keep doing that, Joy Reid.
[00:13:13]  If you think the Koch brothers were bad, imagine Elon all of a sudden getting into politics.
[00:13:17]  He's got like $300 billion.
[00:13:19]  He could just buy MSNBC for sport.
[00:13:22]  He's nearly twice as rich as Bill Gates, the prior parent company of Microsoft, which, of course, where MSNBC came from.
[00:13:29]  But why?
[00:13:30]  Why the harsh reaction?
[00:13:32]  Well, you see this happening where now there's a day off offered to Twitter employees right now.
[00:13:39]  Twitter employees are being offered a day off right now because of all the stress that they are experiencing because of Elon Musk buying parts of Twitter.
[00:13:49]  It's this widely reported fear, and the Twitter workforce is saying, I need time off, I need space, saying that Elon Musk may endanger them or even end their systemic censorship regime.
[00:14:02]  It really does illustrate how central internet censorship plays to their aims and their ambitions.
[00:14:09]  Censorship is the whole deal.
[00:14:11]  If they are not able to censor you, well, then I don't know how much power these people would actually have.
[00:14:20]  Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
[00:14:22]  They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
[00:14:26]  Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
[00:14:31]  They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
[00:14:37]  He found the best towel company right here in America.
[00:14:39]  They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
[00:14:43]  They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a MyPillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
[00:14:48]  It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand towels, two washcloths made with USA cotton.
[00:14:52]  They're soft, yet absorbent.
[00:14:53]  Regularly, $100,999, not $39.99.

[00:15:15]  With us right now is the great John Solomon from Just the News.
[00:15:18]  He has a nightly show he does with Real America's Voice.
[00:15:22]  I catch it when I can.
[00:15:23]  It's always hard-hitting news.
[00:15:25]  And he's going to break some news with us today.
[00:15:27]  John, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:15:29]  It is good to be with you, Charlie.
[00:15:31]  Congrats on everything you're doing.
[00:15:33]  Thank you.
[00:15:33]  Yeah, we are going to Berkeley tonight.
[00:15:36]  We were here last night.
[00:15:37]  John, you have some news.
[00:15:39]  We have some news to break about Hunter Biden.
[00:15:41]  The floor is yours.
[00:15:42]  Yeah, listen.
[00:15:43]  So we've been piecing together a couple of interesting dynamics.
[00:15:46]  And the first is shall break tonight.
[00:15:49]  And it will look at how Hunter Biden, while he was at the World Food Program, USA, which is a taxpayer-funded charity.
[00:15:57]  It's basically our government gives money to this charity.
[00:16:00]  This charity works with the UN to solve global hunger.
[00:16:02]  Hunter Biden was named a chairman of that charity for the entirety of his father's time in the Obama administration, so from 09 to 17.
[00:16:10]  He uses that to meet global leaders, and then he's trying to flip them to his private business.
[00:16:16]  And so we tell the story.
[00:16:17]  In fact, one of the most famous moments in the Biden family's corruption scandal is this CEFC communist Chinese energy company.
[00:16:27]  And we know what's happened right now.
[00:16:29]  We know Peter Schweitzer and Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassy put all this information out.
[00:16:35]  We wrote it about 18 months ago.
[00:16:36]  Now the Washington Post caught up to it and CBS caught up to it recently.
[00:16:40]  But we didn't know where it started.
[00:16:41]  And the first overture that occurs to Hunter Biden isn't about his business.
[00:16:46]  It's actually the owner of this company wants to make a large donation to the World Food Program.
[00:16:51]  And we're going to document how he takes that overture and he flips it into a business opportunity for one of his many corrupt foreign schemes.
[00:16:58]  And so taking advantage of a world food hunger program as a prospecting for your private greed, I think is going to catch people very sharply.
[00:17:07]  And you can really see how it went down.
[00:17:09]  The second story is, at the end of the day, what matters most to the American people is what did Joe Biden, the vice president, the president, get out of the corrupt relationships that Hunter Biden has had.
[00:17:19]  And Joe Biden has always tried to play it.
[00:17:21]  I didn't have much to do with it.
[00:17:23]  We are going to put into the public record tomorrow night evidence that Joe Biden was referring business to his son, referring leads to his son, that they commingled their finances from 2010 to 2019.
[00:17:36]  We're going to show you the emails where you can see the deals and who's paying for what and who's repaying who and who owes what between father and son.
[00:17:46]  It will no longer be possible for Joe Biden to say, I didn't know what was going on in Hunter Biden's world.
[00:17:51]  I didn't do anything about it.
[00:17:53]  We didn't have joint finances.
[00:17:55]  We're going to put all those records out.
[00:17:56]  We've spent almost six months putting this picture together.
[00:18:00]  And I'm really looking forward tomorrow night to giving that second story out there.
[00:18:04]  Wow.
[00:18:05]  And so let me ask you just kind of from a bigger picture perspective, why now?
[00:18:10]  Why is all of a sudden the legacy media and the regime media starting to cover a lot of this?
[00:18:15]  I'm awfully suspicious about this.
[00:18:17]  You've been doing this journalistic work for a while now.
[00:18:21]  Why now?
[00:18:22]  What's your read on this?
[00:18:24]  It seems awfully suspicious.
[00:18:26]  There are news organizations, big name, large, three-letter news agencies that have approached me in the last couple of weeks that two and a half years ago were calling me a conspiracy theorist and attacking me in the lead up to the impeachment scandal, which, by the way, all the issues in the impeachment scandal are these issues.
[00:18:45]  All that was going on in impeachment was to scare off people from figuring out that the Biden family had this influence peddling racket going within their family.
[00:18:53]  But those news organizations have come to me.
[00:18:55]  When you talk to them and you have private conversations, it is a CYA mission.
[00:18:59]  What they tell you is we were on the wrong side of this story, and we want to get on the right side of it before the shoe drops.
[00:19:05]  And I think the shoe drop is, will prosecutors charge Hunter Biden or others in the Biden arena with some form of criminality, whether it's taxes, foreign lobbying?
[00:19:16]  There is a lot of activity that reporters like myself can see at the grand jury.
[00:19:20]  I think this is predominantly an exercise in CYA to say, all right, yeah, we messed with the American public in 19 and 20, but we got right with it in the last few weeks.
[00:19:30]  And I think the op-ed in the Washington Post two weekends ago really laid bare the CYA mission, which is we had good reason to think this was all Russian disinformation, but now we don't.
[00:19:40]  So we're going to write about it now.
[00:19:41]  And I'm glad they're writing about it now because the public needs to know this.
[00:19:45]  But back in 2020, there wasn't a shred of evidence that what I was reporting, what was on the laptop, was Russian disinformation.
[00:19:52]  And that part of the story, they're not going to be able to get away with.
[00:19:55]  So, John, I want to zero in on something you said that was really interesting.
[00:19:59]  You said the term commingling of finances.
[00:20:02]  What does that mean to our audience?
[00:20:04]  Can this be proven?
[00:20:06]  Just try to make that really clear for some people listening because they're not as into the weeds here.
[00:20:11]  But commingling of finances, that's quite an accusation.
[00:20:15]  Yeah, well, it's actually in writing.
[00:20:17]  There are messages to Hunter Biden from his business associates, from his lawyers, in some cases directly from Joe Biden that clearly show that they're working together on some things.
[00:20:28]  And so, one example, I'll just give you one that's out there that I think people will be excited to see tomorrow night.
[00:20:34]  Joe Biden's Delaware tax refund from the year 2010.
[00:20:38]  He's vice president.
[00:20:39]  He's been in the office for more than a year as vice president.
[00:20:42]  For some reason, his Delaware tax refund check goes to Hunter Biden's business partner.
[00:20:48]  And then Hunter Biden's business partner said, I just got your dad's Delaware tax refund.
[00:20:53]  I'm going to deposit it into his account.
[00:20:55]  And then I'm going to write the exact amount out of his account and pay you because your dad, Joe Biden, owes you, Hunter Biden, that money.
[00:21:03]  That's how commingled these documents are going to show.
[00:21:06]  We're going to put that email out for people to see and read with their own hands.
[00:21:10]  These are their own eyes.
[00:21:11]  They're going to be able to touch the document, look at it.
[00:21:14]  Later in life, as Hunter Biden's life is spiraling out of control and Joe Biden's getting rid of, getting ready to go maybe run for president in 2020, the reverse happens.
[00:21:24]  There are very overt discussions about Joe Biden paying back or covering the costs and expenses and debts of Hunter Biden.
[00:21:32]  So a two-way street over a decade, and you're going to see one remarkable text message, one remarkable exchange that occurs while Joe Biden was vice president, we believe, where he's referring a business lead, someone who wants to do business with Hunter Biden, and the vice president sends that referral to Hunter Biden.
[00:21:53]  That's how commingled their business interests were, how commingled their finances were.
[00:21:58]  These are their documents.
[00:21:59]  They're not my documents.
[00:22:00]  These are Hunter Biden's documents.
[00:22:02]  I think people will be able to see them for what they are.
[00:22:04]  So, but let's zero in.
[00:22:06]  Let's answer the so what question.
[00:22:08]  Okay, so the media will say, all right, so what, John?
[00:22:10]  So what if they were commingling?
[00:22:12]  So answer that question.
[00:22:13]  Not only did Joe Biden lie about it, but what's the significance of it?
[00:22:18]  What does it mean from a criminal standpoint, but also from a policy standpoint where policy very well could have been changed because of these deals that were being done?
[00:22:27]  Listen, there's an affidavit by one of Hunter Biden's former business partners, a guy named Galanis.
[00:22:34]  He got convicted in the tribal fraud scheme that Hunter Biden wasn't accused of doing, but all the people around him were involved.
[00:22:40]  And in it, he says, this is in 2020.
[00:22:42]  He tells this to a federal appeals court under the penalty of perjury.
[00:22:47]  Here is what was going on, court.
[00:22:49]  Hunter Biden and Devin Archer were running an influence peddling scheme.
[00:22:53]  That's his words, not my words.
[00:22:55]  And they would take money from foreign folks, particularly oligarchs, and promise them access in Washington.
[00:23:03]  Now, that's a heck of an allegation to make.
[00:23:05]  You say, oh, this comes from a convicted guy.
[00:23:07]  So should we take it with a grain of salt?
[00:23:09]  Yes.
[00:23:10]  Until you see that what Hunter Biden actually did was exactly what the Galanis family says.
[00:23:16]  You see Joe Biden meeting with the Chinese business partner of Hunter Biden in 2013.
[00:23:21]  In 2015, a Russian oligarch, a Ukrainian oligarch, and some Kazakhstan oligarchs are scheduled to meet Joe Biden at a private restaurant.
[00:23:32]  So the access was delivered.
[00:23:34]  Joe Biden was delivering access to these clients of Hunter Biden.
[00:23:38]  Hunter Biden collects the money.
[00:23:40]  It goes into various accounts.
[00:23:42]  If Hunter Biden is covering some of Joe Biden's bills, like we're going to show, it is reasonable for the American public to say all of that foreign graft, all of that foreign business that Hunter Biden was doing, some of it brought benefit to his father, and his father did beneficial things for Hunter Biden to make that money.
[00:23:59]  He met with these shady characters at dinner in Beijing and other places.
[00:24:04]  So you begin to see that Hunter Biden makes his money this way.
[00:24:08]  Dad helps him make that money.
[00:24:10]  And then at least some of Dad's bills appear to be covered by Hunter Biden's finances coming from these foreign deals.
[00:24:18]  That doesn't even include the references like 10% for the big guy that Tony Bobolinski put in front of us for the 2017 China deal, which occurs after Joe Biden's left office.
[00:24:29]  These things we're talking about occur when Joe Biden is in office.
[00:24:33]  It's hard to keep all these straight.
[00:24:34]  There's now the Biden Center that shows that tens of millions of dollars float in from Chinese nationals and CCP affiliated groups.
[00:24:41]  That's a whole new development that hasn't been focused on.
[00:24:44]  There's the brother, there's the Ukraine, there's the mayor of Moscow's wife, there's Burisma, $83,000 a month.
[00:24:51]  There's the Devin Archer stuff.
[00:24:52]  It's hard to even keep this stuff straight.
[00:24:54]  So in just two minutes remaining in this segment, John, I want to ask you, what were they thinking when they were doing this?
[00:25:02]  I mean, the cliché answer, which might be the right answer, is they just thought they were above the law.
[00:25:06]  They could do whatever they wanted to do.
[00:25:08]  Is it that simple?
[00:25:10]  Or, I mean, they just started criminal activity.
[00:25:14]  It's unbelievable.
[00:25:15]  You see in some of the planning that Hunter Biden does.
[00:25:18]  And by the way, don't buy the idea that he's a hapless drug addict.
[00:25:20]  Yes, he was a drug addict.
[00:25:21]  Yes, he was a sex addict.
[00:25:23]  He knew what he was doing.
[00:25:24]  He's very cognizant of the strategy.
[00:25:26]  When they're looking at the Burisma deal in the spring of 2014, it's right as Ukraine has been attacked by Russia in Crimea and there's been an overthrow of the Ukrainian elected government.
[00:25:37]  A new government's coming in.
[00:25:39]  Hunter Biden wants to get the deal announced.
[00:25:42]  He wants to make sure Burisma's hiring before his father makes his first visit to Ukraine.
[00:25:48]  And then as his father's making the first visit in Ukraine, Hunter Biden claims in his emails he got his father to say something in the speech that would benefit Burisma.
[00:25:57]  He calls for expanded gas exploration in Ukraine.
[00:26:01]  They were using Joe Biden's vice presidential schedule, his policy calendar, and figuring out in real time how they could cash in on it.
[00:26:10]  It is much more venal in operation than just trading on the name.
[00:26:15]  They were using Joe Biden's calendar to figure out who in the world they could squeeze to make money on because they would be beholden to Joe Biden in the window where the pitch was occurring.
[00:26:25]  So in the next segment, John, I want to ask you if there's evidence, and you might have alluded to this before in some of our other conversations prior to this, of policy changes, of things that actually impacted the whole country, not just access, not just the kind of carve-outs here and there.
[00:26:41]  But let's, for example, going softer on China correlated with these business dealings.
[00:26:47]  So, John, I want to kind of dive into this a little bit in the final segment here.
[00:26:52]  Is there any evidence that we could connect?
[00:26:54]  I know it's a difficult thing to prove, that U.S. foreign policy or domestic policy was changed or altered because of a business deal that Joe and Hunter Biden executed.
[00:27:06]  Yeah, listen, I don't think so.
[00:27:08]  I think we can say something because the State Department now has acknowledged it and given me this document, that there was an initiative by the United States government that was completely obliterated or undercut, that's the word in the document, by Hunter Biden.
[00:27:22]  What was that?
[00:27:24]  Joe Biden and the Obama administration were trying to tell Ukraine to stop being corrupt, stop doing corrupt deals.
[00:27:30]  And Hunter Biden was doing business with a corrupt company in, or a company that the State Department deemed corrupt called Burisma.
[00:27:37]  And at the end of that whole episode, as the Obama-Biden team is taping up their boxes to leave the White House in December of 2016, George Kent, the star witness at the impeachment trial, the guy who wore that bow tie, remember?
[00:27:51]  He was the Democrats' darling at that hearing.
[00:27:53]  He writes a letter that was classified, so we couldn't get it for four years, in which he says somebody should tell Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, undercut all of our anti-corruption activities in Ukraine, all of them.
[00:28:06]  That is a significant declaration.
[00:28:08]  By the way, it's contrary to what was testified to at the impeachment trial.
[00:28:13]  But we can definitely say there was a belief in the State Department that Hunter Biden undercut the ability of the United States to solve the corruption problem in Ukraine.
[00:28:21]  I have not seen a policy change yet.
[00:28:24]  I'm working on something.
[00:28:25]  There's always been this dispute.
[00:28:28]  Why did Joe Biden fire the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma?
[00:28:33]  And Joe Biden's story is everybody in the world agreed that this guy was crooked and corrupt.
[00:28:39]  And so we all went in and we did it.
[00:28:41]  It had nothing to do with Burisma.
[00:28:43]  We are putting together documents that we just obtained under litigation that seems to run against that story.
[00:28:49]  The timetable laid out in impeachment is not matching up with the documents.
[00:28:54]  In fact, the documents directly contradict some of the testimony at impeachment.
[00:28:58]  We're not ready to reveal that yet, but I think that's an area.
[00:29:01]  If someone was fired for some reason other than U.S. interest, that could become the first real example.
[00:29:08]  But we're not there yet.
[00:29:09]  Most of the other deals, how do you know?
[00:29:11]  Obama was easy on China without Joe Biden.
[00:29:13]  So you really don't know how these other policies were changed.
[00:29:18]  But at this point, it is clear the Biden family got rich off the Biden family name in foreign policy circles.
[00:29:24]  That alone should concern Americans gravely.
[00:29:27]  Well, yeah, and I mean, it might be impossible to prove one day, but it certainly, you know, at least for my own personal opinion, makes me, leads me that every major decision in the back of their head, they're wondering, boy, they invested in my company.
[00:29:42]  You know, they also invested in my son's company.
[00:29:45]  It certainly doesn't help the argument that they're making decisions independent and in the best interest of the American people, especially when it comes to the Chinese Communist Party, because the Chinese Communist Party brags that they engage in elite capture, that they capture the elites of countries, they invest in their businesses.
[00:30:04]  And so from the Chinese side, we can probably prove it better, but not in a court of law.
[00:30:08]  So finally, John, we have like 90 seconds.
[00:30:10]  I just want to just kind of relish and enjoy this.

=== New Media Shifts Audiences (01:22) ===

[00:30:13]  CNN Plus is cratering.
[00:30:15]  Just the news is ascending.
[00:30:17]  Just talk about in 60 seconds how new media is changing the way people are consuming information.
[00:30:23]  Well, listen, when you've been crying wolf for a long time and you keep being repeatedly wrong, you're going to erode your audience.
[00:30:29]  And that's what CNN did.
[00:30:30]  CNN was one of the greatest purveyors of the Alpha Bank bogus story that Donald Trump had a secret channel to the Kremlin through Alpha Bank.
[00:30:38]  We now know that story to be completely not only destroyed from credibility, it was concocted by Hillary Clinton's campaign because that's what John Durham has unraveled.
[00:30:49]  The longer journalists continue to get stories continually wrong, the longer we, the new media, get them right, the more likely audiences shifting to people who are right and abandoning those who are wrong.
[00:31:01]  I don't think CNN's story is any more complicated than that.
[00:31:04]  They were wrong so many times.
[00:31:06]  People are leaving them.
[00:31:07]  And putting Chris Wallace, who, by the way, often was wrong at Fox News, doesn't solve the problem.
[00:31:12]  Not at all.
[00:31:13]  But Justin News is doing very well.
