Tonight, on Huckabee, U.S. Congressman from Kentucky, James Cromer, voice wizardry of Stephen Brogan.
Sydney Holder prepares a peachy recipe, celebrating 30 years with country group Ricochet.
That's Dre Corley in the Music City Connection.
And on your announcer, Keith Bilbrey.
And now, here's Mike Huckabee!
All righty.
Hey, the number is 91. No, that's not Joe Biden's age or his IQ. 91 isn't the number of times that Kamala Harris has made a speech that made less sense than my two-year-old grandson Teddy trying to explain why he needs more candy.
No, it's not that either.
91 is the number of criminal charges that the new American police state in four separate jurisdictions have leveled against former President Donald Trump, who is also the leading Republican candidate by a large margin for the 2024 election.
Now, most of the indictments are either filed by or coordinated with Joe Biden's police agencies in what is now laughably called the Department of Justice.
Folks, that's like calling Baskin-Robbins a weight control center or calling Hillary Clinton a sweet little old lady baking cookies and standing by her man.
The latest round of indictments by the viciously partisan persecuting attorney in Atlanta, Fannie Willis, was truly a spectacle.
The indictments were posted online several hours before the grand jury even voted to issue them.
That was a blunder that Fannie attributed to a clerk testing some software or some completely ridiculous excuse.
And she didn't just indict Donald Trump.
No, she indicted 19 people in what she termed a RICO case.
And I'm not talking about Uncle Rico from the Napoleon Dynamite movie, okay?
Only a few people got that.
Trey being one of them.
It was a good movie, wasn't it?
Yes, it's hilarious.
That was a good one.
No, I'm talking RICO as in racketeering.
You know, mob stuff.
With a straight face, she claimed that for Donald Trump and others to question the 2020 election results, they are criminals engaging in a conspiracy.
Well, our friend and frequent guest on this show, Ron Hart, said this, These made-for-TV indictments were a farce, staged for the evening news, complete with hair, makeup, and leaks.
Fannie Willis, the DA, looked sternly into the cameras and said she took no pleasure in this.
It took six takes for her to say it.
Great work by Ron Hart.
Her pal Stacey Abrams not only questions the results of her loss in the 2018 governor's race in Georgia, but repeatedly out and out said she had actually won the election and that it was stolen from her.
Same thing Hillary said in 2016, but neither of them are under indictment for anything.
The likelihood that Donald Trump could get a fair trial in Fulton County, Georgia, where 95% of the potential jury pool are Democrats, About the same likelihood that I'm going to get a Grammy for my bass playing with Trey and the band here on the show.
By the way, that wasn't supposed to be that funny.
Is this the last of the wave of the criminal charges that are to be defiled against Donald Trump?
Well, it depends on if new damaging information is about to drop about Joe Biden's profiting off his son's shady business dealings with the Chinese, Russians, and the Ukrainians, among others.
What does it have to do with the indictments of Donald Trump?
So far, in every case where damaging information is dropped about the Bidens and they're pocketing more than $20 million for influence peddling with foreign governments, another round of indictments fly at Donald Trump.
I'm sure the timing is merely coincidental.
That's making cynics out of many of us who aren't brain dead and who hold in utter contempt the media for hating Trump so much that they can't even love their country enough to demand that the empowered deep state thugs stop using the power of the police to silence their political enemies and upend the campaigns of their opponents.
Sadly, most of the other Republican candidates for president are embarrassingly silent about what's happening to Trump.
All at the hands of the government goons who next will probably indict him for tearing off a tag from a pillow in 1967. That's a crime.
The lone and notable exception is Vivek Ramaswamy, who is now catapulted into second place in several national polls and whose articulation of a solid American message is gaining ground.
Yet Vivek Ramaswamy has been outspoken in his solidarity with Donald Trump over the indictments.
He's even gone so far as to say that if he's elected, he would pardon Trump so the country could stop treating a different political viewpoint as if it were a criminal act.
So whether Donald Trump outlasts the never-ceasing attacks from the deeply entrenched elitists, well, that remains to be seen.
But we increasingly see a divided America that is no longer just about Democrats and Republicans, but about those in power and connected to it, and those who have no friends in D.C., but are the people who work hard, go to church, help others, love their country.
We are headed toward a headknocking.
I hope we avoid it.
But there is only so much the people of this country can take And folks, we're getting real close to it.
We really are.
Congressman James Comer is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee in the US Congress.
As investigations into the Biden family business deals heat up, Congressman Comer is the tip of the spear to get to the truth and to hold people accountable.
He has already demonstrated a dogged determination to find the facts despite being stonewalled at every turn by the Department of Justice and the White House.
I want you to welcome from the great state of Kentucky, the Perry Mason of Congress, Oversight Chairman James Comer.
You know, you brought your own fan club with you, Congressman.
I like that.
They love you.
Todd County, Kentucky.
You know, these are proud Kentuckians.
And I'm going to tell you something.
They ought to be proud of you.
They really should.
I am, and I'm not even in your district, but I'm going to tell you, when I watch you methodically go after the evidence, it's not with rancor and it's not with a lot of emotion.
It is just a simple determination to get to the truth.
And I think so many of us watch and we're so grateful, but this week was an explosive week.
And I wanna start with the revelation that Joe Biden was using a pseudonym, an alias, emailing, while he was vice president, Including his son.
What's the significance of that revelation?
Well, it's significant.
First of all, the fact that he was using a fake name.
I think that's symbolic because the Bidens, we found, have 20 fake companies that they were receiving the money from the foreign nationals and then laundering through those fake companies to nine different Biden family members.
But he was using a fake name on a government email.
Because he knew that emails are subject, as you know, to FOIA, to Freedom of Information Act.
And he wanted to disguise his communication.
And that's what they've done with the money.
That's what the bank said with the bank violations.
They were trying to disguise...
Where the money was coming from and deceive the IRS so they wouldn't have to pay taxes on it.
So Joe Biden has a pattern of deception here.
But I think the most alarming part is that Hunter Biden was CC'd on these emails.
He was copied on these emails.
And the one argument the Democrats, as they continue to move backwards and move the goalposts in their defense of Joe Biden, they said, well, Hunter Biden has nothing to do with the federal government.
Then why was he receiving emails about Ukrainian policy right before they were going to fire that prosecutor?
I mean, that really does beg the question.
What's the most explosive thing that your committee has uncovered so far?
The one that you think is, if there is a smoking gun, what is it?
Well, I think it's the way they were receiving the money.
I mean, 20 shell companies.
And unfortunately, I've learned we have a financially illiterate media In Washington, D.C. I don't know that they understand.
The Shell Company is a fake company.
They created 20 fake companies for the sole purpose to receive this money from foreign nationals because if you're the son of the Vice President of the United States or a Congressman, you're not supposed to receive money from foreign nationals.
Whoa!
Right.
And they hid it through these shell companies and then once they transferred the money back and forth, then they would make incremental payments to Biden family members.
That's called Money laundering.
And when you create a bunch of shell companies for the sole purpose of money laundering, that's called racketeering.
So the amount of crimes that this Biden family's committed is, you know, nearing the dozen mark.
And when we're talking money, how much money are you already seeing in the bank records?
Because you've looked at them.
Are we talking a few thousand dollars?
What kind of money are we talking about?
Well, thus far we've gotten about a third of their bank records because they had so many bank accounts.
They had probably close to 40 bank accounts, believe it or not.
But I would say at this point we're right around the 21 million dollar mark.
$21 million.
$21 million.
And remember, not only were they not supposed to get this money, not only did they try to hide where the source of the money was, according to the IRS whistleblowers, they didn't pay a penny of taxes on it.
So when Joe Biden says we need to double the size of the IRS to go after tax cheats, he doesn't need to look any further than...
In the White House right now with his phone family.
Just go around the Thanksgiving table at the Biden family Thanksgiving and say, everybody ought to pay his fair share.
Isn't that the big line that they tell us?
That's what they say, but they certainly have not.
And Joe Biden's more than welcome.
To make his family whole with the IRS, if he wants to increase the tax revenue, he can start at home because they haven't paid a penny of taxes on any of this money.
But even more concerning, they should have never gotten the money.
And more concerning than that, Governor, they should have, somebody should have stopped this.
The IRS, the Department of Justice, the FBI, somebody should have put the brakes on this.
Years ago.
When you uncover this stuff, one of the things that has just blown my mind is we're not talking about little bitty things.
Over years, lots of money, lots of shell companies, as you have mentioned, and lots of various players all of whom are being protected by the very agencies that if you were doing that congressman they'd have you in cuffs raid your house absolutely have a swat team haul you and give you a perp walk across the federal courthouse in kentucky that's right we have to disclose if we receive anything over fifty dollars And if our family receives a gift,
I believe it's over $200, we have to report that.
If we don't, we will get an ethics violation, and once you get an ethics violation in Congress, you're going to be removed from Congress, or if you make it through the ethics process, the voters are going to vote you out because they don't want a Congressman with an ethics violation.
I want to continue this conversation with you, Congressman.
We have a lot more to discuss with Congressman James Comer of Kentucky, Chairman of the Oversight Committee.
Don't you dare go away.
We'll be right back.
Later tonight, author and researcher Seamus Bruner joins Mike at the desk to discuss Biden corruption.
Then later, Ricochet performs a country favorite.
That's all ahead on Huckabee.
Go to MikeHuckabee.com and sign up for his free newsletter.
And follow AdGov Mike Huckabee on Twitter.
And we are back with Congressman James Comer of Kentucky.
He is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
It's become the most important committee in Congress because they're doing really the most significant look into what's going on with the Biden family.
And Congressman, I was a little amazed.
You didn't go to Congress until after the 2016 election.
Most of the time, a person will be in Congress 12, 14 years before they ever become the chairman of the Oversight Committee.
Clearly, your colleagues have great confidence in you to elevate you to a position in just a few years.
But I learned that you were the Ag Commissioner of the state of Kentucky.
Yes, sir.
You fought corruption.
You cleaned a bunch of stuff up.
So you've had a little experience in doing this kind of thing.
I did.
I was elected Commissioner of Agriculture in Kentucky and 12 other states we elect our Commissioner of Agriculture when we elect Attorney General and Governor and all that.
I went into a situation where my predecessor had made a lot of mistakes and I did something that's never been done before or since.
I called for an audit of my government agency.
Which was independent of the Governor's office and independent of the General Assembly.
We found a lot of corruption.
We fired a lot of government employees.
As you know, it's very difficult to fire a government employee in the merit system.
But we fired a significant percentage of the workforce and started all over.
And I think today, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture is a pretty good example of a pretty good government agency in Kentucky.
Good experience getting you ready for what you're doing, but when you went to Congress, I'm sure it never occurred to you that you would be sitting at the hot seat of the most significant investigation that we've seen maybe in American history.
I think this is the biggest political corruption scandal In my lifetime and I'm a student of presidential history.
This president family has taken millions and millions of dollars from some bad people in some bad countries and he's lied about it over and over again.
My experience in Kentucky taught me a lot.
There are political knives that will come at you.
The media is not fair at all.
If it's a You know, if it's a Democrat chasing corruption, they're a hero.
If it's a Republican, you know, they're a villain.
And if you're going after a Democrat, you're a villain.
If you're going after a Republican, you're a hero.
So, I've had some preparation coming to Washington, and you mentioned I moved up quickly.
I was in the right place at the right time.
Fortunately, the House of Representatives is different than the Senate.
The Senate goes by seniority.
The House, you run for the leader of a committee, and I ran and somehow won.
I've got a great committee.
We've got some of the most high-profile members of Congress on my committee.
We're working together.
We're working with other committees.
Because I believe everyone in the Republican majority in Congress realizes that this is of the utmost importance.
We have a president that, for all practical purposes, is probably compromised.
Compromised with our biggest enemy in the world, and that's China.
Yeah.
And probably compromise with other nations as well.
Now, one of the, I guess, real concerns is that there are a lot of people pushing you and pushing Speaker McCarthy impeach President Biden right away.
That has not been your tact.
You are conducting the investigations.
How does this play out, and how do you keep some folks from just rushing into the impeachment, which wouldn't last five minutes in the Senate if it got over there?
That's the thing.
You know, I don't think a lot of people understand impeachment.
We can impeach, and we could impeach Biden today.
The Senate's not going to convict, so he's not going anywhere.
All you're doing is taking up floor time and, you know, It's just not going to happen and people are going to get more upset then.
My job is to investigate.
And I said when I was named head of this committee and we announced this investigation, I'm going to follow the money.
And that's what we're doing.
And by following the money, we're running up on people like Devin Archer who were involved in the business schemes.
And we're bringing them in and making them testify under oath as to what Crimes were committed and what was really going on.
What did the family do to receive the money?
And look, everyone we talked to said the same thing.
They were selling access to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden was the brand.
That should be a problem for every American.
It should be.
Do Americans want their politicians for sale?
And I know people say, well, every politician takes special interest money or whatever.
That money is disclosed.
There are rules and restrictions.
The most illegal thing in the world For anyone in Washington is to take money from foreign nationals, from China, from Romania, from Ukraine, from Russia.
That's what Biden's done.
And it's going to be to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
You know, I get frustrated.
I watch you in a press conference and you lay out specific evidence, bank records, you note them, exactly what you've discovered.
And then somebody will turn around in a commentary and say, well, where's the proof?
And I'm thinking, did you not just hear the man?
Does that frustrate you?
It's so frustrating because Adam Schiff talked about Russian collusion for two years.
There was never an ounce of evidence.
Nothing that would show that Trump colluded with Russia.
I have produced so many bank records, hundreds of pages of bank records that showed he took money that he wasn't supposed to take.
He lied about it.
He met with all these people.
He said he didn't talk to them.
He talked to every one of them.
And the most latest revelation is that he...
His son was involved in the communication with the government on what they were gonna do to Ukraine.
Devin Archer testified that the owners of Burisma were squeezing Hunter Biden to call Washington DC for help.
Now, who would Hunter Biden call in Washington DC for help?
His father, who was vice president, and his father, Five days later, flies to Ukraine and fires the prosecutor who's investigating his son, Hunter Biden, for corruption in Ukraine.
And now we find emails where they were communicating along the way.
So I think the evidence is pretty overwhelming, but it's still not enough for some in the mainstream media.
Hopefully as you continue to dig and you have dug in some deep holes and come out with some real stuff, I just have to believe that there will come a moment at which the light goes on for at least a few reporters and even some Democrats who will say Joe Biden has crossed a bridge too far.
Congressman, I just want to tell you, I said this before, I want to say it again.
You are a hero to the people of America.
I don't care what their politics are because you're going after what is just unacceptable corruption and looking for the truth and letting it take you where you lead.
I hope you sleep with one eye open every single night.
God bless you and thank you.
I want you to keep up with what the Oversight Committee is doing and follow Chairman Comer on social media.
We will give you links at our website, huckabee.tv, if you want to do it, and please do.
Keep up with it.
Find out what they're uncovering because you probably have friends that say, well, they haven't found anything.
Go to the Congressman's website, follow him.
I promise you'll find what they are discovering, and it will upset you.
Right now, Keith is going to tell the good people what we have coming up, and he didn't have to dig very hard for that.
Keith?
Well, coming up next, Steve Brogan is here with his friend, Albert.
Then some good old Southern cooking with Sidney Holder.
You're watching Huckabee.
Samaritan's Purse volunteers are already on the ground in Maui, offering immediate relief for those who are being affected by the devastating wildfires.
Their important work could not be possible without your continued prayers and generous giving.
I hope you'll pray for all those volunteers who are on the ground as well as the Hawaiian families who have suffered unthinkable tragedy.
And consider giving to Samaritan's Purse today.
You can do that by visiting the Samaritan's Purse website or by giving them a call right now.
Thanks and God bless.
Steve Brogan is a comic ventriloquist from North Carolina.
He learned the art of ventriloquism at age seven from his Uncle Bill.
Now with over 30 years as a professional entertainer, he still pursues his first love of making people laugh, and he does it for corporations, theaters, associations, and churches all over the country.
Would you please welcome comedian and ventriloquist, Steve Brogan.
Thank you.
Thank you and welcome.
This is Elmer.
Yeah.
Doing okay?
What?
Are you doing okay?
No.
What's wrong?
This has been a terrible day.
Bad day?
Yeah.
Why has it been such a bad day?
What?
Why has it been such a bad day?
My left knee hurts.
It's probably old age.
No, it's not.
Why not?
My right knee is the same age.
It doesn't hurt.
That doesn't justify you calling it a bad day.
That's not all.
What else is wrong?
Arthritis.
Okay.
Sometimes people get arthritis.
Went to the doctor with it, too.
All right.
He gave me a shot.
Okay, said it would make the arthritis go away.
Well, sometimes he called me today.
The doctor?
Yeah.
Well, that was nice of him to call and check and see how you were doing.
No, that's not why he called.
Why did he call?
He said that check I wrote and came back to my bank.
Okay.
I said, that's okay, doc.
You keep it.
The arthritis came back, too.
Sorry about the arthritis.
That's not all.
What else is wrong?
Darsitis.
Okay, high blood pressure.
Okay, I didn't know.
Headache.
Kneeache.
Backache.
Gout.
Enderoids.
Hadn't had a bowel noodle in four days.
See, they know what I'm talking about.
Other than that, yeah, I'm doing real good.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
But the doctor did help me.
Oh, finally, folks, he admits that the doctor helped him.
Yes, he did.
Good.
How did he help you?
He helped my hearing.
Oh, I'm glad he helped you hearing.
What?
He helped you hearing?
Yeah, good.
How did he help you hearing?
He found a suppository in my ear.
How did that help you hearing?
Well, I figured out where I put my hearing aid.
I hate when that happens. - Well, do you even know where we are?
What?
Do you know where we are?
Yeah.
Good.
Where?
"Wallart Greeter's Convention." Why would you think that?
A lot of old guys here.
We're here at the Mike Huckabee Show.
What?
The Mike Huckabee Show.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, is Sarah here?
No, I don't think Sarah's here.
Why?
Well, you know I'm dating again.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't know.
Yeah.
Dated a 92-year-old woman last night.
92?
Yeah.
Had to slap her face twice.
Why, was she fresh?
"No, I thought she was dead." We're here at the Mike Huckabee Show, kids.
Is Mike, is the governor here?
Yeah, he's here.
He's right over there.
Oh, how you doing, governor?
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Glad you're here.
What are you doing?
Nodding.
Nodding.
He knows what I mean.
Heard something about him.
Who?
Trey.
Trey?
Yeah.
When did you hear this?
Tonight.
Tonight.
Yeah.
Where?
Here?
Here?
Yep.
What did you hear about Trey?
Heard that Trey is a warm person.
Warm person?
Yeah.
That's commendable.
It means it gets along well with peoples.
And that's, hey, Steve, what?
I googled the word worn.
What's it mean, not so hot?
Heard something else too.
About Trey?
Yeah.
What else did you hear?
Heard that Trey is a noddle band leader.
Model band leader, yeah.
That's commendable.
That means he does his job properly, stays what?
I googled the word model too.
What does it mean?
a small imitation of the real thing.
I don't want to know anything else you heard about Trey, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I especially don't want to know who said anything like that.
Oh, I had to promise not to tell.
Good.
Get my governor.
Thank you for allowing me to be here.
My name's Eleanor.
This is Steve.
Well, Steve, we are glad to have you and Elmer with us.
Thank you very much.
Keith and I will love to have Steve back, but we'll have to overcome Trey's vote, who probably will vote for him not to come.
Hey, if you want to see more of Steve Brogan and his many unusual friends, or to book him for your event, go to Huckabee.tv.
Now notice that my lips never move as Keith tells you what's coming up next.
Amazing!
Well, after the break, Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute will shed some light on the bike business dealings and later some country music fun with Rick and Jay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, it's hard not to be excited with the incredible music that we have in this show, and that's because of Trey Corley and the Music City Connection.
Would you give them a big hand and thank them?
Well, you've heard the phrase, follow the money.
That is exactly what Seamus Bruner has been doing at Peter Schweitzer's Government Accountability Institute for more than a decade.
He's a best-selling author.
This is the book written with John Solomon, a great, great reporter, and it's called Fallout.
And his findings have made very often front page headlines.
He's been on the top researcher list for Peter Schweitzer's books, Exposing Clinton, and now Joe Biden and the corruption.
And the Biden's sketchy global business deals that James Comer was just talking about, Really do pose a national security threat.
Now, for more on all of this, I want you to welcome to our show an extraordinary researcher.
We're happy to have him, Seamus Bruner.
Seamus, great to have you here.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's great to be with you, Governor.
Perfect that you're here the same night that Congressman Comer is here, because that's what you guys have been digging around in as well at the Government Accountability Institute.
When did you first kind of start sniffing that something just isn't altogether right with what the Bidens have done in business?
So right around the time of the Clinton cash book, which readers may remember was the Clinton Foundation, blew that wide open.
Just after that, we decided, well, let's look at the Bidens, see what they've been up to.
So this would be around 2017. 2018 is when Peter Schweitzer's book, Secret Empires, came out.
That blew open the Ukraine, Burisma story, the China story, and we've been on it ever since.
So, you know, it's hard for many of us to understand why there's not more public attention The press obviously tries their best, not just to ignore it, but to actually cover it up.
And that's worse.
Why is it that the evidence that Congressman Comer and what you've found is not landing on ears that care out there in the media?
Well, it's exactly like you said, the media is in on it.
They're complicit.
They've been covering up for not just Biden, but since Obama, even the Clintons.
So they've got some complicity in these things.
They were there when Joe Biden said, I never talked to my son about his business dealings.
They covered that and they acted like that was true.
And now we know, thanks to Congressman Comer, that's not true.
Joe Biden was intimately involved.
You know, everybody thought Donald Trump was really being mean in the debates back in 2020 when he said, you've had business dealings with China and Joe puffed up.
I have never had any, you know, and denied it.
And people thought, boy, Trump just went after him and, you know, shot some blanks.
Turned out he was the only one on the stage telling the truth.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
I mean, they impeached Donald Trump for just asking some questions, some very simple questions about what was going on in Ukraine.
And now we know he was right all along.
The Bidens were up to no good.
Let's talk about the special counsel that Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, has appointed David Weiss.
Weiss has basically kind of tried to make a deal with Hunter that would have given him nothing.
I mean, it would have been a scot-free deal, don't look at any of the felonies issues, couple of misdemeanors.
It wasn't a slap on the wrist, it was a kiss on the cheek.
So, Weiss is now going to be appointed to be the special counsel.
Does that give you any comfort at all, or should we be worried about it?
Absolutely not.
The appointment of David Weiss as the special prosecutor is possibly the most egregious move in the Biden cover-up saga.
I mean, like you said, He had just given Hunter a sweetheart deal, and now he gets to give him a special sweetheart deal.
I mean, the deal was so crooked that a judge blew it up, and so now this move seems to extend the cover-up effort, possibly past the election.
And IRS whistleblowers both testified That Weiss said, I can't push this because higher up have told me to back off.
So, you know, somebody's not quite getting this right.
The White House, the DOJ, they have been covering up for the Biden family crimes, or alleged crimes I guess at this point, but they look pretty serious like crimes.
They've been covering up since the beginning.
Seamus, what can happen though?
I mean obviously Congress does have the power to subpoena so they can get to some of this.
Will anything ultimately kind of unfold that will hold people accountable?
Well, I think what Congressman Comer and the Oversight Committee have done is a form of justice, but we obviously need a lot more than that.
We need accountability.
The things we're talking about here with Joe Biden, there's big allegations of bribery.
The U.S. Constitution says that specifically bribery is among the high crimes and misdemeanors that demand impeachment.
So I think impeachment should begin as soon as possible.
That would be a form of justice.
Until there's a new administration, until there's new leadership at the DOJ, I don't see them prosecuting Hunter Biden.
They've shown every indication it's going to be the opposite.
It's going to be more sweetheart deals, more extending past the statute of limitations.
You know, we were talking with a congressman about $20 million that went to these phony companies.
You have said that there is big money coming from Russian oligarch Alina Batarina, who was the wife of the Moscow mayor.
Now, we're talking and you mentioned money well beyond that.
What kind of money are you even suggesting might be involved in those transactions?
So Congressman Comer and the Oversight Committee, they have found $3.5 million in the bank records.
But at the Government Accountability Institute, we obtained court records where Devin Archer said that it could be as high as $200 million that Elena Baterina had invested in this Burnham asset management company that's closely tied to the Bidens.
Hunter was an executive there.
He got money out of that.
Now, we're not saying that Biden's got $200 million, but that's exactly how much Elena Batterina is alleged to have invested in a Biden-linked entity.
Where do these people get that kind of money?
I mean, $200 million is not the kind of money that you carry in your pocket.
That's a lot of dough.
$200 million.
Where do they get that money?
So Elena Batarina, she is like an oligarch's oligarch.
She's the first female billionaire in Russia.
She's got close ties to Putin.
We found in the WikiLeaks, she actually has ties to organized crime.
A lot of that money was acquired through corrupt dealings in Moscow, real estate dealings and sweetheart, you know, land grab type stuff.
And so the timing here is what's really interesting.
So when does she invest in the Biden businesses?
It's 2014. It's during the Maidan revolution.
After the Maidan revolution, with the overthrow of the president of Ukraine, a lot of Russian oligarchs were thinking, you know, is the U.S. going to put sanctions on us?
And if the U.S. is going to sanction us, we need to get our money out of here.
So they started looking for safe havens.
And so this oligarch, Baterina, she invested where safer than with the son of the vice president.
So that's possibly, you know, the safest place you could put your money if you're a Russian oligarch is with the Bidens.
I mean, this is frightening stuff.
Seamus, it's important what you're discovering.
I hope people will get the book, Fallout, that you've written with John Solomon.
But more importantly, they need to follow what is going on at the Government Accountability Institute.
For our audience, Seamus' books are available everywhere that books are sold, as well as Peter Schweitzer's books.
And we've got links for you, as always, at Huckabee.tv.
Speaking of covering up stuff, we pay Keith Bilbrey to uncover things, and he's just uncovered what we have coming up on the rest of the show.
Keith?
Well, get ready for some delicious Southern cooking with Sidney Holder.
It's going to be meat cheese.
Don't go away.
Thank you.
Go to Huckabee.tv and get your very own Made in the USA Huckabee mugs, t-shirts, and more.
Thank you.
Welcome back, everybody.
Sydney Holder started out as a teacher, and she still is a teacher.
But during the pandemic, she started pursuing a love of baking that had been passed down by her Southern family.
It's now her second occupation.
So who better to show us how to celebrate National Peach Month than the co-owner of Sweet Peach Bakery.
Please welcome Sydney Holder.
Sydney, welcome.
Good to have you.
So glad to be here.
You know, I'm already looking at this and thinking this is going to be good.
I see peaches, I see some strawberries, and all sorts of good stuff.
So let's dig into it.
What are we going to make up tonight?
Okay, so first we have to prepare the pan.
Normally you would do this in your oven, but you have melted butter to start with.
That just deglazes the pan so you don't have to spray it, none of that.
Just pour it right in.
Nothing wrong with a lot of butter and anything you do in the kitchen.
No, it coats the soul.
Absolutely.
It does.
And then we have to caramelize the peaches.
Okay.
Super fast, super easy.
They just go right in with a spoon and some sugar.
And while they're cooking and getting nice and juicy, could you help me with the dry ingredients?
I'll see what I can do.
So what do you want to do?
Everything in this line goes in order.
Okay, right here?
Yes, sir.
The milk first.
Oh, not that way.
Oh.
In here.
I'm glad you told me.
I would have messed that up.
This must be salt.
That is salt.
Yes.
So the cobbler is a little different than you might expect.
Is that flour?
That is baking powder.
Baking powder.
A lot of people use self-rising flour for their peach cobbler, but I don't because that's sugar.
If you use all the ingredients that are actually inside of self-rising flour already, it comes out butterier, crispier.
Those aren't really words, but you know.
It works for me.
This is flour, right?
That is flour.
Okay.
All purpose flour.
All purpose.
And what is this one?
That's more flour.
More flour.
Do we need it?
It sure is.
We do.
Okay.
We do.
I just want to make sure.
Now we stir that up?
Yes, we're going to use the fork.
It's for eating and for stirring.
Why not?
It's going to the same place.
Might as well use it all.
Absolutely.
I will lick it off after I eat from it and we'll get that sucker clean.
By the way, all the recipe we will have, I think, at Huckabee.TV are some of these things so that you can do what Sydney does.
You just probably won't do it as well as she does it.
Oh, everybody can cook.
Aren't you impressed with me stirring this up?
I am.
You're doing so well.
Thank you.
You know, the sugar is interesting.
My wife tells me when it rains that I'm not made out of sugar and I won't melt, so go ahead and get out there in it.
I think it's kind of cruel.
The audience thought it was cruel too.
They didn't even laugh.
And you got those peaches all getting caramelized.
I do.
They're about ready.
Are you about ready?
I'm ready.
Okay.
I am ready.
So what do we do now?
Okay.
So next step is the peaches go straight into the butter.
Okay.
Kind of spread them out so they're not all in a clump.
And then right on top of that...
I'm going to put this goo...
Goo, yes.
That's the secret part.
This batter, whatever this, what do you call this?
It's the batter.
Got it right.
That's what I call it, goo.
Because it is like that.
It is.
This is the secret part of the recipe I am going to give away.
You mean to just pour it in there?
In little strips, if you can.
That way it gets all over the peaches, all in between, and the peaches rise up through it.
I think they're applauding you, not me, but that's fine.
I'm actually getting that pretty well evened out, aren't I? Yeah, you are.
It looks great.
Mm-hmm.
I want to get it all in there because I don't want to cheat us.
All right, golly.
We're going to do this.
We're going to do it right.
It's the only way.
Only way.
There we go.
Oh, there's a little more.
You know, Keith Bilbrey had a birthday this week, and we'll pretend this is his birthday cake.
How's that?
I think cobbler's better than cake anyway.
He's not gonna get any of it.
Just a bite, I get the whole thing.
Look, I've been made fun of all night long.
I get to try the dessert tonight.
Okay.
There we go.
That got most of it.
Okay, and then this is really the finished product.
You stick it right in the oven.
How long?
For about 45 minutes at 375, and then it'll come out looking just like this, nice and crispy.
So we're going to eat that one, not that one, because that one's actually been cooked.
That makes more sense.
And then what is this one right here, just in front of it?
That is my Meemaw's famous strawberry pie.
We're going to try both of these right now because I want to.
That's how this works.
Sweet Peach Bakery.
It's an at-home operation so you can find all their unique and mouth-watering creations online.
If you go to Huckabee.tv, I promise we will connect you.
But right now, Keith Bilbrey is going to tell what he is cooking up next.
Well, stay right where you are.
Ricochet is here with a classic 90s song you're sure to remember and you'll want to sing along.
Don't go away.
You're watching Huckabee.

Music by Ben Thede.
All right, in 1996, the debut album of the country supergroup Ricochet launched three, that's right, three top 10 hits, including the number one classic, Daddy's Money.
Now they're celebrating their 30th anniversary with their first new album in over a decade.
And it's great.
It's called Then and Now, the hits and more.
It's actually out this very weekend.
Please give a warm welcome to Ricochet founding member, Heath Wright.
Thank you, Governor.
Heath, it's great having you here.
And the band?
Yes.
You know, there was sort of an overnight explosion of Ricochet when you first started 30 years ago, but it wasn't like you just started and it all happened.
True.
We had actually been a band, a touring band, on the road for a couple of years before we even came to Nashville and got signed by a record label.
And then it seemed like it was overnight at that point.
One of the things that I love, that you're doing this album and the proceeds of this are going to adopt a cop to help the Wounded Blue of our nation and support law enforcement.
Why is that important to you?
We're so excited to be partnered with the Wounded Blue.
It's an organization based out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
And what their mission is to help the families of fallen police officers and officers who've been critically injured in the line of duty.
And they offer all sorts of resources, not just financial, but emotional and Psychological resources as well.
All you have to do is go to adoptacop.com, just as you mentioned.

You know what?
That's a great deal.
You get great music.
You help a wonderful cause.
And right now, we're going to hear some fantastic music by Ricochet.
While the band gets ready to perform, Keith is going to tell you exactly how to get their brand new album that I'm holding in my hand.
This is the vinyl version of it, but there are all kinds of ways to get it.
Keith Bilbrey, tell us how.

Thank you, Keith.
Yep.
Can't concentrate on the preacher Preaching my tension span Done, turn on I'm honed in on that angel singing when they're in the choir long.
She's got her dad's money, mama's good looks, more laughs than a stack of comic books.
Wild imagination, college education, hang on, it's a deadly combination.
She's a good fast fisher, dynamite kisser, the tree has a turn of green.
Got her dad's money, her mama's good looks, and look who's looking at me.
I caught you looking, now her second cousin was my third great teacher.
I used to cut her grandma's grass.
Back then she was nothing but knees and elbows.
Golly, did she grow up fast?
She got her daddy's money.
Mamas could lose more laughs than a stag of comic books.
Wild imagination, college education.
Combination, she's a good fast fisher.
Kind of like kissing country as I turn to green.
I've heard that it's money and mama's good.
Looks who's looking at me.
I got a playbook.
Music Now Lord, if you got any miracles handy, maybe you could grant me a wall.
Let me walk down the aisle and say I do to that angel with the choir of all.
