The silent majority is no longer silent. | |
| This is The War Room with Owen Schroyer. | ||
| Please stand by for further details. | ||
| We return you now to your regularly scheduled program. | ||
| Well, I have been absolutely glued to my television since about noon local time here watching the IRS whistleblower hearing. | ||
| It is ongoing. | ||
| We are going to be covering it as long as it is live. | ||
| And then I'm going to be showing you some of the highlights, opening statements from what has transgressed in this hearing so far. | ||
| But let's go right to DC where the hearing IRS whistleblower hearing into the Biden crime family is ongoing | ||
|
unidentified
|
In departmental regulations in other words, it's up to him Attorney then in June 30 | |
| Second in my June Let's go ahead and pull that down, guys. | ||
| And let me just monitor that. | ||
| I can just monitor that in a lower screen or something. | ||
| Like, yeah, that's great right there. | ||
| Because, I mean, honestly, it's not even worth your time listening to the Democrats. | ||
| So when the Democrats talk, I'll come on here and actually use your time wisely instead of wasting it listening to Raskin here talk about Trump, I'm sure. | ||
| What's interesting about this hearing, now, you know, yesterday's broadcast was a little black-pilled, you might say, and rightfully so, but it appears that the tit-for-tat Cold War D.C. is really what is going on here. | ||
| And so... Jack Smith and who knows, however, else or whoever else or how many others they have waiting to indict Trump on whatever charges in Georgia or New York or D.C. I mean, they probably got a whole litany of things. | ||
| And every time something's about to break on the Bidens or every time a whistleblower is about to come forward with evidence against the Bidens, they launch one against Trump. | ||
| And so it's this tit for tat thing. | ||
| And let's be clear. | ||
| And people I respect and like and consider smart have expressed this opinion, but I want to be clear that I completely disagree with it. | ||
| They are not doing this because they think they can beat Trump in a general election. | ||
| That is not what this is about. | ||
| They are going after and trying to destroy Trump to stop anybody from being the next Trump, to try to separate Trump from his supporters, and to try to make Trump unelectable, either literally take him off the ballot, Or whatever that means. | ||
| So no, I do not believe they're doing this because they think they can beat Trump in the election. | ||
| All right, the Democrats shut up here. | ||
| So let's quickly go back to the hearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Against a man as well connected as Hunter Biden is truly courageous, is a truly courageous act. | |
| And I hope that all of my colleagues can appreciate that as well. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, I'd like to start with a simple question. | ||
| When did you start your career as an investigator with the IRS? In July of 2009. | ||
| Thank you. And in what year were you promoted to a supervisory role? | ||
| In 2018. So that's 14 years of service at the IRS, with five of those years in a senior leadership position, correct? | ||
| That's correct. Did you ever in your 14 years of experience see an investigation be handled in the same manner as the one we're here to discuss today, the one in Hunter Biden's taxes? | ||
| I have not, no. | ||
| And when were you made supervisor of the investigation in Mr. | ||
| Biden's Operation Sportsman? | ||
| In January of 2020. | ||
| By your estimate at that time, when did you initially believe that the evidence was sufficient to request physical search warrants in California, Arkansas, New York, and Washington, D.C.? So Special Agent Ziegler drafted the affidavit in April or May, and that was for the search warrant. | ||
| Of 2020? | ||
| Of 2020, yes, I'm sorry. | ||
| It was a short time after that you began to suspect that career officials At DOG were, quote, dragging their feet regarding the next steps in the investigation. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| Yes, that's correct. | ||
| And two months later, in June of 2020, you came to the belief, expressing as such, in communications with the IRS CL leadership, that if normal procedures had been followed, that these search warrants would have already been executed. | ||
| Is that correct? That's correct, yes. | ||
| Was this within the typical time frame for the self-imposed investigative pause that DOG historically tends to implement in cases preceding elections? | ||
| It was not. | ||
| The official Department of Justice- Alright, this thing has been riveting today, folks. | ||
| We'll be right back. Ladies and gentlemen, this is truly, and I mean this, one of the most bombshell filled whistleblower hearings I've ever seen. | ||
| And maybe it's not the biggest Or worst crimes we've ever seen presented, or the potential of, presented in a hearing like this, but it's just the raw evidence, the raw nature of it, how easily consumable and understandable it is for the average American, and the tit-for-tat nature of the Cold War D.C. right now between the deep state, the Democrats, and Donald Trump. | ||
| Now, I don't want to waste too much of your time here. | ||
| I want to go right back to this live hearing, but... | ||
| We've got a lot of news to cover today. | ||
| I imagine this hearing is going to be live for about another hour or so. | ||
| We're going to continue the live coverage of this. | ||
| I also have all the highlights from what has transpired at this hearing before we got to this point. | ||
| And as I said, a lot of video clips and news. | ||
| But let's go back to the live hearing. | ||
| D.C. right now. Two IRS whistleblowers, heroic I might add, testifying on the Biden crime family, the money received by the Bidens, and how they were receiving federal protection from these crimes. | ||
| We go live now. | ||
|

|
Sense of justice. | |
| The American people demand justice. | ||
| And this committee demands justice along with the other committees involved. | ||
| And I thank you for this hearing. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And so Mr. Ziegler and Mr. | ||
| Shapley, I'm hoping that these are very simple, very straightforward questions. | ||
| So I'd like to ask that you answer them with a yes or no answer. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, are you now or have you ever acted as an unregistered foreign agent for the Chinese government or for any other government? | ||
| No. And Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, are you now or have you ever acted as an unregistered or registered foreign agent? | ||
| No. And Mr. | ||
| Shapley, have you ever participated in illegal arms trafficking? | ||
| No, I have not. And Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, how about yourself? | ||
| I have not. And finally, Mr. | ||
| Shapley, have you ever been indicted of a crime, lied to investigators while under oath, or run from the law? | ||
| No, I have not. And Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, same question to you. | ||
| Have you ever been indicted, lied to investigators, or run from the law? | ||
| I have not. Thank you for answering those questions. | ||
| Obviously, it would seem strange to have to ask these clarifying questions. | ||
| But given the majority's track record in calling witnesses on this matter, not to mention their own presidential candidate, it seemed necessary to clarify for our American folks who are listening today. | ||
| This is so unbelievable. The Democrats are just insufferable. | ||
| Those questions were completely unnecessary. | ||
| This Democrat from New Mexico, Stansbury here. | ||
| Those questions were completely unnecessary. | ||
| And then she somehow says, your candidate is Trump, so I had to ask you those questions? | ||
| Actually, one of these gentlemen, I mean, I don't know too much about it, but I was looking it up before the show. | ||
| One of these gentlemen is a gay man who votes Democrat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just like the whistleblowers on the censorship of Twitter. | |
| They were liberals. They're Democrat voters. | ||
| One of these witnesses is a Democrat voter. | ||
| And she just says, oh, it's your candidate Trump that's being charged and accused of these crimes. | ||
| I mean, these Democrats are insufferable. | ||
| And I'm going to go back to her here, but honestly, it's not even worth your time listening to these Democrats. | ||
| And so I'm like, do I even waste your time listening to these Democrats talk about Trump for their five minutes apiece? | ||
| Or do I cover some of this other important news? | ||
| But let's just see how long we can stand. | ||
| Ms. Stansberry here asking if this man's ever trafficked weapons because he might vote Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And finally, I want to remind everyone that the person who appointed U.S. Attorney General David Weiss to handle the matter that we're here to discuss today was Donald Trump. | |
| So that's been stated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead and pull her down. | |
| Pipe her down. So that's already been stated. | ||
| Let's not exaggerate. | ||
| 30 times today? | ||
| 40 times? 50? | ||
| I mean, Raskin himself has probably said it 20 times. | ||
| The exact same line of questioning. | ||
| Trump is bad. | ||
| Trump is real criminal. And these are all Trump appointees. | ||
| Which, let's address the flawed logic here, by the way. | ||
| Because they don't go full circle. | ||
| They stop halfway. | ||
| They assume you're too stupid. | ||
| Their whole notion now, they're convincing you that the... | ||
| The reasoning for claiming that these people were appointed by Trump, these investigators were appointed by Trump, is because, oh, that means they're what? | ||
| That means they're trustworthy? | ||
| Is that what you're saying? So by their logic, Trump is a total criminal and untrustworthy, but his appointees are very trustworthy, and so therefore we're going to mention that all of these people were appointed by Trump, and so now you should believe them saying that these people are trustworthy because Trump appointed them, even though they're saying that Trump is untrustworthy. | ||
| So you see that? They play all these little games and they think you're too stupid to pick up on it. | ||
| And that has been their main talking point tonight, is that Weiss, who obviously has changed his story throughout this whole thing, that's well documented, that Weiss was helping to keep the Bidens clean of all of these tax evasions or whatever you have them. | ||
| And so they've said it probably 50 times a day. | ||
| Well, who was Weiss appointed by? | ||
| This woman's so checked out, she doesn't even know the guy's name, even though it's been said five dozen times. | ||
| And she says, Weiss. | ||
| But it's Weiss. So, they say, well, Weiss was appointed by Trump, so clearly this, him shutting down the investigation is totally fine. | ||
| But I thought Trump was the crook. | ||
| I thought Trump was the criminal. | ||
| So, but now Trump's trustworthy? | ||
| He appoints the good people? Where's your logic at here? | ||
| And this woman is so checked out to lunch. | ||
| Do you think she was playing Candy Crush when they said David Weiss's name 50 times before her five minutes as she reads off her script here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go back to her. Stand here today with Donald Trump and prop him up using committee resources. | |
| And I urge my colleagues to take a hard look in the mirror. | ||
| This is about Biden. And to really reflect on what our oath of office means. | ||
| And with that, I yield back. | ||
| Oh, wow. The chair now recognizes Mr. | ||
| Higgins from Louisiana for five minutes. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Oh, here we go. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler, we're gonna be moving fast here. | ||
| Let me make a statement. | ||
| To begin, let's just clarify for America. | ||
| Republicans are only interested in Hunter Biden's deceptions regarding his IRS-confirmed receipt of $17.3 million from shady sources in Ukraine and Romania and China while his father was vice president because Hunter Biden had nothing to sell. | ||
| He had no product, no service, no skill. | ||
| All Hunter Biden had to sell was corrupted access to his father, the big guy. | ||
| How dare Congressman Higgins call the president of the United States? | ||
| May I say the inaugurated president of the United States? | ||
| How are we calling the big guy? Let's go! | ||
| December 30th, 2020. | ||
| This investigator, Shapley, and Investigator Ziegler, the IRS criminal investigation team, at a 12-hour long meeting with U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware, the prosecution team. | ||
| Wolf and Weiss are in attendance. | ||
| Shapley shares an IRS plan to interview Biden associate Rob Walker. | ||
| Wolf objects to this plan to the dismay of those in the room. | ||
| She said, we do not want to ask about the big guy. | ||
| And stated, she did not want to ask about dad. | ||
| December 8, 2020. | ||
| Investigator Shapley, investigator Ziegler. | ||
| Meeting with Special Agent Joe Gordon received a call from Hunter Biden's attorneys stating that they would accept service for document requests but declined requests for the interview. | ||
| The IRS investigators were only able to conduct one meaningful interview, that with Biden's associate Rob Walker. | ||
| That day, investigations revealed to the press. | ||
| We're going to pause this right now. | ||
| We're going to go ahead and pause this. | ||
| This will help us save time too. | ||
| Because then we can just skip past the Democrats saying Trump five times and then mispronouncing Weiss's name. | ||
| We'll come back to Higgins. | ||
| This is obviously going to be great. He's one of the greats. | ||
| So before we go to this break, folks, really honored to be here covering this with you today. | ||
| Truly an honor and privilege to be here with the great crew, bringing this all together. | ||
| And remember, it's all thanks to your support at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Great news. If you've been... | ||
| Going to Infowarsstore.com for a long time, you know one of our top-selling, top-rated products of all time is Silver Bullet Colloidal Silver. | ||
| This has been sold out for years. | ||

| We're about to go back live to Clay Higgins. | ||
| We're going to try to show you as much as we possibly can in the fastest three hours on the internet, the Infowars War Room brought to you by Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| But let me just tell you, folks, I mean, bombshell after bombshell today, the Democrat side of the aisle has had nothing new to offer except Trump, Trump, Trump, and then a little more Trump with some Trump peppered in. | ||
| And Marjorie Taylor Greene brought the receipts from the Hunter Biden laptop because part of this hearing has been that Hunter Biden was using his sex worker payments as tax write-offs. | ||
| He was trying to cook. | ||
| He was trying to learn how to cook crack cocaine in a hotel room that he wrote off as a business expense for a tax write-off. | ||
| And she brought all this, including showing the images. | ||
| That drove him mad. But let's go back live. | ||
| Clay Higgins right now speaking to the IRS whistleblowers. | ||
| To interrupt the investigation. | ||
| December 14, 2020. | ||
| Assistant U.S. Attorney Wolf tips off Biden counsel about an IRS plan. | ||
| They had reached a threshold of probable cause to execute a search warrant on a storage unit in Northern Virginia. | ||
| U.S. Attorney Wolf calls Hunter Biden's attorney and alerts him to the pending investigation. | ||
| Search warrant being executed. | ||
| You stated, Investigator Shapley, that at every stage during your investigation, decisions were made that benefited the subject of the investigation. | ||
| Who was the subject of the investigation, good sir? | ||
| Hunter Biden. Thank you very much. | ||
| And I think I clarified for America why we were interested in Hunter Biden, because he sold access to his father, the big guy. | ||
| And you Americans out there may have a compromised president. | ||
| In your White House, you should certainly be concerned. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler, how did the IRS investigation regarding Hunter Biden begin? | ||
| Tell us briefly, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a review of bank records regarding another investigation I was working. | |
| So it was ancillary to another criminal investigation. | ||
| Is that correct, sir? | ||
| Correct. And you are a criminal investigator. | ||
| Is that correct, sir? | ||
| That is correct. Not civil. | ||
| That is correct. Thank you very much. | ||
| Investigator Shapley, in the September 3rd, 2020 meeting with the prosecution team for the Hunter Biden case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf told your team there was more than enough probable cause for the physical search warrant of the guesthouse at then-former Vice President's Delaware residence where Hunter Biden stayed for a time. | ||
| Did U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf confirm your investigative effort that you had sufficient probable cause for search? | ||
| Yes, she did. Thank you very much. | ||
| But you've told Congress that Assistant U.S. Attorney Wolf also said that the question was whether the juice was worth the squeeze. | ||
| That's a quote. And that optics were a driving factor in the decision on whether to execute a search warrant. | ||
| Optics? Have you ever run into that, Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shapley? I have not, no. | |
| Have you, Mr. Ziegler? I have not. | ||
| Why do you think the Department of Justice might be concerned about optics in the search of the president's son's residence during the course of a criminal investigation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. Shapley? I mean, just the sensitivities involved with that search warrant, and it would, you know... | |
| Pretty clear, isn't it? | ||
| There's another search warrant I'm going to touch on in my remaining section. | ||
| I'm going to have my time expired here. | ||
| Let me just say, gentlemen, you're courageous for coming forward. | ||
| And let me ask you, did your job begin with an oath? | ||
| It did. Have you upheld that oath? | ||
| Yes, I have. And is it your core principles that have driven you to reveal the corruptions that you witnessed in your criminal investigations coming before Congress today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, it was. Yes, it was. | |
| Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I yield. | ||
| Very good. Chair now recognizes Mr. | ||
| Gomez, for five minutes. | ||
| Alright, as soon as they say Trump, we'll catch back up live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. Thank you, Mr. | |
| Chairman. So let's first zero in on the bottom line. | ||
| What we have is two IRS investigators who clearly worked very hard on the Hunter Biden investigation, and thank you both for being here today. | ||
| You both gave recommendations to prosecutors based on your work, which you've described today. | ||
| And then Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutor- Okay, there it is. | ||
| Now pull it down, guys, and let's just go ahead and let's get back caught up in live time because there's no point in listening to this. | ||
| I just wanted to show you how easy it is to predict these people. | ||
| So let's go ahead and resume this in live time. | ||
| Let me see whose time we have now. | ||
| This guy's probably done speaking by now, I would imagine. | ||
| It's right, guys. If you need to pull out of that and reset. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. He's got a picture of Rudy Giuliani with the black sweat. | |
| That's great because, you know, that's who was being investigated was Rudy Giuliani. | ||
| That's who was getting tipped off to, hey, get the documents out of your... | ||
| Storage unit, the FBI and the IRS is coming in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're just such criminal scum. | |
| And I was faced with this question last night because, you know, yesterday's broadcast was, I got a lot of compliments for it. | ||
| I'll tell you what, let me come back and talk about what I realized and what we all know is really going on here. | ||
| Are we caught up yet, guys? | ||
| Let me know when we're caught up to the live time. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, no, just go ahead and put it back live. | ||
| And let's just go ahead and pick this one back up live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. I'll start. | |
| So since I made these protected disclosures that are legally protected, the IRS has chosen to retaliate against me in multiple ways. | ||
| Even now, there's major case initiatives that actually Special Agent Ziegler started as well that are now being put on the back burner and just being slow-walked. | ||
| Again, my immediate supervisor and two levels above them haven't spoken to me since June 1st of 2023. | ||
| Even though I'm sending them emails and trying to conduct my business on a daily basis, they literally have not spoken to me. | ||
| Would that be normal? | ||
| No, absolutely not. | ||
| We're running undercover operations, we're doing interviews across the world, and it really becomes when senior leadership really cuts off communication like that, it increases the chance of some officer safety type issue when we can't communicate those type of issues with senior leadership and we have no support from them. | ||
| Absolutely. Mr. Ziegler? | ||
|
unidentified
|
To be completely honest with you, this is going to make me a little bit emotional. | |
| And I'm sorry, because I know this is personal. | ||
| You spoke about that in your opening statement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Never have I thought that it's essentially like being left out on an island, and I don't know if that's done purposefully, but I essentially made disclosures up to the commissioner of the IRS. I said, what happened? | |
| And the response I got a few days later was, I may have broken the law and don't ever do this again. | ||
| Your emails need to go through your leadership. | ||
| So to have that come to me was chilling. | ||
| I can't even put words to it. | ||
| But what I can say is there are some people within my agency, some people in leadership, That have been a person that I can go to for support, but the vast majority of it has just, the impact on the person, it's awful. Well, retaliation is many times seen by people So these whistleblowers are getting into the treatment they've received, which is very similar to the treatment the FBI whistleblowers received. | ||
| And so you see the intimidation from these leftist, fascist, totalitarian, authoritarian freaks. | ||
| Doesn't matter where, what branch of government, they're all the same. | ||
| They're all tyrants. And so... | ||
| But wait till the real IRS story pops, and then you juxtapose it with how the Bidens were treated. | ||
| Oh, that'll be juicy. | ||
| All right, we just had Pete Sessions asking the IRS whistleblowers about their treatment within the IRS since they came forward as whistleblowers, very similar to what we heard from the FBI whistleblowers. | ||
| You basically get treated like trash, kicked to the curb. | ||
| As the FBI whistleblower put it, the government will destroy you. | ||
| And so I'm sure these men are now going to have massive targets on their backs. | ||
| Let's go back live to the IRS whistleblower hearing on the Biden crime family. | ||
| What are the odds right now a Democrat is saying the word Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I respect the FBI SSA. Because he came and did an interview with us and he said, he testified that over his decade of experience with the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI agent never knew the Assistant U.S. Attorney's Office or U.S. Attorney Weiss to allow any political considerations to influence their prosecutorial decisions in any case. | |
| Do you accept his judgment or you disagree with his judgment about that? | ||
| So, yeah, the FBI, SSA, I respect. | ||
| And, you know, it's a matter of timing. | ||
| He retired in June of 2022. | ||
| And at that time, you know, I haven't even overcome the burden that it took me to say that this has been political and been politicized. | ||
| It wasn't until October 7th, 2022. | ||
| So, you know, the FBI, SSA, you know, He came to his conclusions, and he wasn't there for the October 7th. | ||
| Can I mention something regarding that? | ||
| I respect very much your service, and I respect very much your testimony today, but I think it's completely within the realm of prosecutorial discretion and just subjective differences of opinion that people have. | ||
| And those of us who've been in prosecution understand that happens all the time with prosecutors and investigators. | ||
| Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona, Mr. | ||
| Biggs, for five minutes. Thank you. | ||
| It's good to have you here. | ||
| Appreciate it. I appreciate your courage and your willingness to testify. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, I'm going to go to pages 18 through 20 of your testimony. | ||
| And Mr. Ziegler, I'm going to go to about page 104 to 105 of yours to start with. | ||
| But while you're going there, I'm going to ask this question. | ||
| You know, we've heard a lot about this. Well, you know, this 2014, 2015, 2016 tax things, you know, Trump, you know, we've heard a lot about Trump. | ||
| But in 2014, 15, and 16, those tax years, Donald Trump wasn't elected, but who was the vice president of the United States, if you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joe Biden was the vice president of the United States. | |
| I think that's right. | ||
| And when the statute of limitation ran on those 14 and 15 years, who was the president of the United States? | ||
| When the statute expired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So that was President Biden. | |
| Now remember, Representative Andy Biggs made a statement to Maria Barcharomo that they've seen hundreds of millions of dollars received by the Biden crime family from foreign entities. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, why did you want to interview Rob Walker? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, I think Special Agents Eagle would be better to answer that question. | |
| All right. So, I'm looking on page 18 of your testimony, Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shapley. Could you repeat the question? | |
| Yeah, can you repeat the question, please? | ||
| Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll rephrase the question. | ||
| On the day of action, you guys were intending to interview 12 people, one of whom was Rob Walker, a business associate of Hunter Biden. | ||
| And in particular, you wanted to talk about, I think the quote is, 10 held by H for the big guy, right? | ||
| So, who did you infer that the big guy may be? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, all I can do is speak to the evidence there. | |
| What I can say is, I think I know what you're referring to is When we're preparing for that, we're preparing for that interview and we're referencing that email, 10 held by H for the big guy. | ||
| And from what I understand, that to be his dad, President Biden. | ||
| Okay, so I'm sorry. | ||
| I just want to ask Mr. | ||
| Shapley a similar question because the AUSA Wolf interjected, and I'm reading from your transcript now, and said she did not want to ask about the big guy. | ||
| Instead, she did not want to ask questions about dad, in quotes. | ||
| Who did you take dad to be when she refers to dad? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The father of the subject is President Biden. | |
| President Biden. And so, even by her response, she's inferring that Joe Biden may be involved in Hunter Biden's transactions. | ||
| And then you get to the FBI agent and you give some detail about his... | ||
| Mr. | ||
| Shapley, you give some detail about what he is saying and the transcript, if you will, of his interview. | ||
| And in particular... | ||
| The FBI agent asked Mr. | ||
| Walker, so you definitely got the feeling that that was orchestrated by Hunter Biden to have like an appearance by his dad at that meeting just to kind of bolster your chances of making a deal work out? | ||
| Walker answered, sure. | ||
| The FBI agent continued, any times he was in the office or did you hear Hunter Biden say that he was setting up a meeting with his dad with them while dad was still in office? | ||
| Walker answered, yes. | ||
| That's the quote that you gave to us in your transcript. | ||
| And so I guess the question there is, what did you infer? | ||
| And then you said the FBI agent inexplicably ceases that line of questioning. | ||
| I want to know what you thought the FBI agent was inferring. | ||
| What did you think? What do you think when you read that, when you heard that, of the relationship between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and his business transactions when he is still in office? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so I can't go beyond what you've quoted me as saying in my testimony, so I just leave it there. | |
| Okay, thank you. Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, on page 104 of yours, you mentioned that Hunter Biden attempted to obtain a business tax deduction on his return for hotel rooms that were used by his father, Joe Biden. Tell us about that, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So yeah, on his tax return, he deducted a hotel room for his dad, so Joe Biden, and we actually got the invoice from the hotel that showed the dad's name on it. | |
| So for that to be a valid business deduction, he would have to be doing business with Hunter Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that not true? So we would typically, a typical part of the process would be to interview that person to find out what might have happened. | |
| Why did you go to that hotel room? | ||
| And based on statements he made in his book, I mean, you can correlate to what was kind of going on around that time. | ||
| But how does it become a valid business deduction if Joe Biden's just there on vacation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, generally speaking, to be a valid business deduction, it would have to be some type of business activity being conducted at that time. | |
| And the last one is the WhatsApp. | ||
| And I won't get into it because we're just about out of time, but I would just say the WhatsApp where he says he's sitting, my dad's sitting next to me, and you remember that, and that's on, I want to say, page 105. | ||
| That's where you talk about it, Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, on page 105 of your transcript. | ||
| I guess the question there is, how would you be able to determine whether those rooms, whether he was actually next to Hunter Biden? | ||
| How would you be able to determine that? | ||
| And the Gentleman of the Times are tired, but you can please answer the question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So typically, in that situation, you'd want to get location data. | |
| Contemporaneous data that would show where that person's at. | ||
| So that's what we would typically look to. | ||
| Yeah. Thank you so much. | ||
| Very good. Chair now recognizes Ms. | ||
| Lee from Pennsylvania. Thank you, Mr. | ||

Chairman. Republicans have been invoking this term two-tier system of justice a lot recently. | |
| I'm going to talk about what the real two-tier justice system is, where black and brown people are over-criminalized and over-incarcerated. | ||
| Oh, this is a race thing! Okay, let's give a little context to what Biggs just said, though. | ||
| Here's what's interesting about what we know. | ||
| So they know that Hunter Biden and at least... | ||
| Apparently five other members of the Biden crime family have taken money from foreign entities. | ||
| And we've heard upwards of a hundred million dollars, but none of it has been connected to Joe yet. | ||
| So what's interesting is who was paying Joe Biden? | ||
| Was this coming out of Rosemont Seneca and other places? | ||
| Was it Hunter Biden sending him direct money? | ||
| And so that's why the state attorney and the whistleblowers brought this up and this was brought up before by other Republicans. | ||
| They said no asking the client, Hunter Biden, about dad. | ||
| No asking him about the big guy. | ||
| You're not allowed to ask about Joe Biden. | ||
| But wait a second. If Joe Biden is getting business write-offs for business expenses and Joe Biden is getting 10%, then eventually they're going to have to go after the big guy. | ||
| Find out how much money he's gotten. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It all leads back to the big guy. | |
| It all leads back to the big guy. | ||
| And that's why whoever's protecting the Biden crime family in these investigations is saying, no, you don't ask who the big guy is. | ||
| You don't ask about dad. | ||
| You don't get to do any of that. | ||
| Now imagine you're an investigator, neutral, and you're just like, I'm investigating these... | ||
| Financial documents, like I always do, and it leads me to this person that I would normally question, but I'm told I'm not allowed to question what's going on here. | ||
| Well, that's why they're whistleblowers. | ||
| That's why they're testifying. | ||
| We go back live to the IRS whistleblower testimony into the Biden crime family right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you share your plan to interview Hunter Biden's associate, Rob Walker? | |
| All the interview outlines for the witnesses were discussed that day, yes. | ||
| Okay. And you wanted a question, Walker, about the email that said, 10 held by H for the big guy. | ||
| Is that correct? That was included in the interview outline, yes. | ||
| Okay. But U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf told you she did not want you to ask questions about dad, meaning Joe Biden. | ||
| Is that correct? That's correct. | ||
| Okay. So Assistant U.S. Attorney General Wolf was, you felt, conceding that the big guy was Joe Biden. | ||
| Do you think that's accurate? I mean, I don't want to conclude what she was thinking. | ||
| Okay. You did have an interview with Rob Walker in Arkansas, correct? | ||
| I did not, but agents did, yes. | ||
| Okay. And did Rob Walker tell you that President Biden had ever showed up to a meeting with his son's business associates? | ||
| He told us that he had shown up at the meetings, yes. | ||
| Okay, can you elaborate on that at all? | ||
| I can only stick to what's in the transcript and the witness described an instance where CEFC executives or people on the CEFC were meeting in the Four Seasons and that the subject's father, President Biden, showed up at that meeting. So President Biden was there physically? | ||
| That's what the witness said, yes. | ||
| Okay. Mr. Ziegler, maybe I'm going back here a little bit further. | ||
| But earlier today, you wanted to elaborate on one of your questions, and you were cut off by one of the Democrat congressmen. | ||
| Is there anything that you want to say that you could remember that you weren't able to say? | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| So I wanted to say that one thing that was mentioned regarding the retired FBI supervisory special agent, I've actually recently reached out to some of my former colleagues that I worked this investigation with at the FBI, and I've asked them, Was there anything I misstated in my transcript? | ||
| They said no from their best understanding of reading it. | ||
| So I want to be clear on that, that they've read my transcript or they've referenced that they did and that they've said that they didn't see any issues with what I said in my transcript. | ||
| Okay, thank you. Mr. Shapley, anything else from you? | ||
| Yeah, I want to speak briefly about our criminal tax attorneys at IRS Criminal Investigation. | ||
| So first, they're only advisory. | ||
| I can't recall an instance where they non-concurred with any of my actions within the group and that we didn't send it forward anyway with our senior leadership approval. | ||
| The issue here was the manner in which it became a non-concur. | ||
| The line CT attorney who took more than 50 days to review all the evidence, she concurred with all of the charges in that prosecution report of this Exhibit 2. | ||
| When she sent it forward, a panel of five of lawyers at the National Office of Criminal Tax Attorneys, they concurred with the line attorney's assessment that it was a concur on all of the charges that were recommended. | ||
| It then went to the senior leadership at CT Council, and the top said that you need to change this to a non-concur. | ||
| Even something like that could happen in practice. | ||
| The issue here was that I contacted the line attorney's manager, the area counsel, and I said that this was gonna be, we didn't know this was gonna be a non-concur. | ||
| She's been saying it's gonna be a concur. | ||
| And she told us that it had always been a non-concur, basically obfuscating the entire events that occurred at the senior levels with the panel agreeing with the law and recommending concurring those charges. | ||
| So I don't know why CT Council would lie to us or provide false information about it being a non-concur the whole time. | ||
| And Special Agent Ziegler I had some communication with that line attorney and said, do you know that they are saying that it's always been a non-concur? | ||
| And she confirmed, she said, what? | ||
| No, I sent a yellow light, which is a concur. | ||
| And so that was the issue with CT Council that really perplexed me. | ||
| And that's something that I wanted to add to the congressman back there. | ||
| So thank you for the extra time. | ||
| Thank you. And just one other thing, I think, with regard to what happened in Central Park years ago, the mischaracterization of what happened there is, I'm sure, very hurtful and harmful to the Central Park jogger. | ||
| I wish you wouldn't have. There's more to that story than you know very well. | ||
| Thank you. Very good. | ||
| At the request of the witnesses, we're going to take two more questioners and then we'll have another 10-minute recess. | ||
| So I'll just recognize Mr. | ||
| Kassar and then Mr. Donalds. | ||
| Right now, chair recognizes Mr. | ||
| Kassar from Texas for five minutes. | ||

It's clear from this hearing that Democrats are pro-accountability, equal treatment under the law. | |
| This is a commie from Austin, by the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And for paying your taxes. In the Hunter Biden case, we've heard that the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney took the extensive work of the IRS investigation and got the most severe penalty. | |
| Okay, that's good. Let's do some other stuff here while this commie is talking. | ||
| Let's go to earlier James Comer talking to the IRS whistleblowers about the China energy partners paying off the Bidens here in clip five. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, I want to turn to President Biden. | ||
| You've stated to CBS Evening News that there were certain investigative steps you were not allowed to take that could have led to President Biden. | ||
| Can you tell us what investigative steps related to President Biden that you wanted to take but you couldn't? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So there are multiple instances in this investigation where there are references to the father of the subject, President Biden. | |
| And in the course of any normal investigation, when the subject's father is somehow related to the finances of the subject, in the normal course of any investigation, we would have to go and get that information to properly vet the financial flows of money in that investigation to determine what we end up charging. | ||
| There was a tweet or a message in the laptop from Hunter Biden to Kevin Dong, who was with CEFC. And it said, quote, the Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership. | ||
| Now, the chairman he's referring to is Chairman Yee of CEFC. Is that correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
In that stream, I believe so, yes. | |
| So, what... | ||
| Can you tell me what the Bidens are best at? | ||
| Do you understand what he would have meant by that? | ||
| I mean, this is a Chinese company, and I think the ranking member referred to it with Gal Luft. | ||
| It's the same entity that paid Gal Luft The money that he got indicted for being an unregistered foreign agent, I believe, was the charge. | ||
| But this is another solicitation from Hunter Biden, and he refers to the Biden's plural, and they're best at doing what the chairman wants. | ||
| I think that's very concerning to our committee because this is a Chinese Communist Party-owned entity. | ||
| Of concern to our national security, and I didn't know in closing if you had any information with respect to that comment there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
With respect to the WhatsApp messages, it was something we clearly needed to follow up on, and that was really one of the major deviations from, in this case, is that investigators asked, and Special Agent Ziegler asked to follow, to take some investigative steps to review that, and it just simply wasn't supported by the prosecutors. | |
| So further delving into what that means, I just simply can't do. | ||
| Well, I can promise you we're not going to stop on this committee until we understand what he fully meant by that message to a Chinese Communist Party official. | ||
| Mr. Chairman. All right, we're going to continue with our live coverage, plus more highlights like that. | ||
| But let's, again, in context here, two major issues. | ||
| One, FBI told Hunter Biden investigator to duck committee questions, bombshell letter shows. | ||
| In other words, Hunter Biden got tipped off. | ||
| The IRS was coming. The FBI was coming. | ||
| And then... Anytime the investigators wanted to ask him about 10% for the big guy or how is your dad getting business expenses written off, they weren't allowed to go down that line of questioning. | ||
| Again, we'll pick this back up when we come back. | ||

| All right, let's pick up the IRS whistleblower hearing back live. | ||
| We are now into hour number two of the InfoWars War Room brought to you by InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| We're going to dedicate... As much time as we can to this on this show. | ||
| We'll try to get to other news, but let's go back to the hearing now. | ||
| Representative Donald is now talking. | ||
| Hey, I'm sitting here with my dad. | ||
| Tell the chairman to give me my money because we remember and we're not going to forget because we're the Bidens and we have all these connections, yada, yada, yada. | ||
| We all know that text message now. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler, on page 105 of your testimony, page 105, gentlemen, you state, I know we wanted to get location data because I went to the prosecutors with this and they again came back at me with, well, how do we know that? | ||
| He could just be lying and claiming that dad, Joe Biden now, that dad was there and dad was not there. | ||
| Were you allowed to get location data? | ||
| Dealing with the WhatsApp text message. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So from my memory of it and from the notes that were taken, I never obtained location data regarding that message. | |
| Did Ms. | ||
| Wolf, the AUSA in Delaware, did she say, wow, look at this text message, let's figure out the location data and see where Hunter Biden was when he sent said message? | ||
| Was she excited about this as a prosecutor? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, I mean, when I asked her about the location data, in her response right here, it was her responding with, well, how do we know that? | |
| It wasn't a, yeah, let's try and figure that out. | ||
| It was like, well, how do we know that? | ||
| Well, did she read the text message? | ||
| Because if I read that text message as a prosecutor, I'm saying, wait a minute, dad is sitting next to him and dad happens to be the now president, then vice president of the United States. | ||
| Shouldn't we find out where Hunter was when he sent said text message? | ||
| I'm not a prosecutor, I'm a finance guy, but that just seems like common sense to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and I think with the previous email that was referenced, 10 held by H for the big guy, now that you have those two things kind of correlating with each other, As a normal process or procedure that we would go through, you would want to figure out, is that information truthful and that WhatsApp message? | |
| I totally agree with you, Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, which is why I think it is the view of members on this committee, and frankly, a lot of Americans at this point, that there are elements at the Department of Justice who did not want this information out, who did not want to go down the line of actually going through the evidence gathering process to see the depths to which This international pay-for-play scheme that was actually happening around Joe Biden, going through Hunter Biden, and all the money that the Biden family was occurring. | ||
| That's not a question for you, that's just a statement for me. | ||
| Last question. Through your investigation, how much money did you uncover was coming from Ukraine, Romania, and China? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you hold on one second, let me reference this. | |
| 17.3 million approximately. | ||
| Okay, so 17.3 million through your investigation. | ||
| And you are, you and Mr. | ||
| Shapely, you are the guys that investigate criminal tax evasion on an international scale. | ||
| Is that correct? That is correct. | ||
| Okay, question for the chairman. | ||
| Mr. Chairman, through the investigation of the oversight committee, about how much money have we seen come from Ukraine, Romania, and China? | ||
| Over 10 million. | ||
| Okay, so we have two separate investigations. | ||
| One done by the investigative branch of the IRS that is charged with doing these types of investigations. | ||
| These are the people you want doing them. | ||
| And an independent investigation by the Oversight Committee. | ||
| And we're coming up with the same amount of money, give or take a couple million, going through the same person in Hunter Biden. | ||
| And his investigation is slow walked. | ||
| And we're supposed to sit here and think that Joe Biden knows nothing? | ||
| I think, for the record, Mr. | ||
| Chairman, that the relevant committee needs to have questions for Leslie Wolf, the AUSA of Delaware, for David Weiss, the Attorney General of Delaware, for Lisa Monaco, who is the Deputy Attorney General. | ||
| Oh, that'll be huge, Monaco. | ||
| She's involved in all their stuff. The Attorney General of the United States. | ||
| Because if this action is allowed to occur- That's gonna happen next. | ||
| Short break here. We're going to pick up the hearing when we come back. | ||
| We may skip the Democrat talking about Trump for five minutes. | ||
| But what he just said is key. | ||
| I may give you the future. | ||
| We may go into the crystal ball here when we come back from the short break. | ||
| So they just took a recess. | ||
| They'll be away for about 15 minutes. | ||
| And when they come back, it'll probably be... | ||
| Not too much longer after that. | ||
| So we're going to have time to really... | ||
| I mean, you're not missing much here today from this hearing. | ||
| We got the highlights from what we missed live. | ||
| But let me just tell you what Byron Donalds is saying and let's look into the crystal ball. | ||
| The names he just mentioned are going to be called to testify. | ||
| Wolf, Monaco, the rest of them will be called to testify. | ||
| They will be subpoenaed. | ||
| Um... I don't know the timeline of that, but I will predict this. | ||
| You've got to understand, a lot of these investigations have been going on for five years, and the government in particular, the federal government, works so slowly, believe me, I know all about it, that This may sound crazy to say to you right now, but this is... I mean, I'm giving you the crystal ball here, and we're going to be pretty accurate with this. | ||
| So a lot of the stuff you're hearing about today, they've presented some evidence of... | ||
| Again, there's a reason why they're saying China. | ||
| There's a reason why they're saying Romania. | ||
| There's a reason why they're saying Ukraine. | ||
| They've seen those transactions, and they've probably seen at least $50 million now... | ||
| The reason why they're getting into these ones in details today because they know both sides of the transactions and they know all the information based on the investigations that each side has been able to do. | ||
| But they've been stonewalled at many places. | ||
| They haven't been able to go after Biden. | ||
| There's a bunch of other bank accounts that are still subpoenaed and are just now cooperating. | ||
| So they're still waiting to get documents. | ||
| So let me tell you how this is going to go. | ||
| In... Probably September, but maybe October of 2024. | ||
| You're going to get all this information. | ||
| You're going to get all of it. | ||
| You're going to see the bank transactions. | ||
| You're going to see probably at least 50, maybe 100 plus million dollars going into Hunter Biden bank accounts, Joe Biden bank accounts, and apparently other Biden bank accounts too. | ||
| We don't know the names of. | ||
| And you're going to get all that information. | ||
| Now, the Bidens are cooked on that. | ||
| It's done. It's over. So unless Jim Jordan or James Comer is going to intentionally spike the ball at the last minute before the 2024 election, it's all coming out. | ||
| The Democrats know this too. | ||
| So does Joe Biden. That's why he's basically already a lame duck president because he knows he's already cooked. | ||
| So you're going to see all that in about a year and a half from now, under a year and a half. | ||
| That's all going to come out. Now, the tag team of the Biden crime family here is that They've also got their bio labs. | ||
| They're cooked on that too, folks. | ||
| Now, they might not be as cooked at this time, and we might not know the exact temperature in the oven and everything to make sure this goose is cooked right, but they're going to be cooked on that too. | ||
| The bio labs in Ukraine, they're going to be cooked on that too. | ||
| This is all going to come out in September and October of 2024, just ahead of the presidential election. | ||
| Again, that's why you see Biden sleeping when the Israeli president is in the Oval Office. | ||
| He doesn't care. That's why he's not going to campaign, not going to do a debate, and they're gearing up Gavin Newsom to be their safety net backup. | ||
| So that's just the crystal ball looking down the line. | ||
| Now, I want to play some of these other clips from earlier today. | ||
| Some of these are a bit long. | ||
| We can fit this one in here. | ||
| Here's James Comer again with his opening statement to the IRS whistleblowers in clip seven. | ||
| Since assuming our Republican majority in January, the House Oversight Committee has made historically fast progress in our investigation into the Biden family's influence-peddling schemes. | ||
| In just six months, we have obtained thousands of pages of financial records. | ||
| This includes bank records for Biden family associates and suspicious activity reports generated by the Bidens and their associates high dollar or foreign business transactions. | ||
| What these records reveal is astonishing. | ||
| The Bidens created over 20 shell companies, most of which were created when Joe Biden was vice president. | ||
| Bank records so far show the Biden family Their business associates and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and related companies. | ||
| A lot of this money poured in while Joe Biden was vice president. | ||
| Despite creating many companies after vice president took office, the Biden family used associates companies to receive millions of dollars from foreign companies in China, Ukraine, and Romania. | ||
| After foreign companies sent money to business associates companies, the Bidens then received incremental payments over time to various different bank accounts. | ||
| These complicated financial transactions were used deliberately to conceal the source of funds and total amounts. | ||
| No normal business operates like this. | ||
| What were the Bidens selling? | ||
| Nothing but influence and access to the Biden network. | ||
| This is an influence-peddling scheme to enrich the Bidens. | ||
| We need to know whether Joe Biden is compromised by these schemes and if our national security is threatened. | ||
| During our investigation, our committee became aware through whistleblower disclosures provided to Senator Chuck Grassley that the FBI had an unclassified record that details an extortion and bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a Burisma executive. | ||
| This record was generated by a trusted confidential human source that the FBI has used for over a decade. | ||
| It memorializes the source's conversations with the Burisma executive who claimed that he paid Joe Biden $5 million in exchange for certain actions. | ||
| The Burisma executive told the confidential human source that he didn't pay the, quote, big guy, end quote, directly, but that he used so many bank accounts that it would take 10 years to unravel. | ||
| Now, that sounds an awful lot like how the Bidens conduct business, using multiple bank accounts to hide the source and total amount of the money. | ||
| Today, we have two brave, incredible Irish whistleblowers who have risked their careers to come forward and provide important testimony. | ||
| Thank you all for being here today. | ||
| I know it was not an easy decision. | ||
| All right, let's pull out of that quickly. | ||
| Let's go to more on the Burisma Biden payments here in clip nine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In 2014, Burisma has a problem. | |
| They want to get their stock listed on Wall Street. | ||
| But the prosecutor general is investigating corruption, and they can't get the outcome they want in New York. | ||
| So what do they do? They hire Hunter Biden, pay him millions of dollars. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler, my only question for you is going to be, if I can direct you to page 99 of your transcript, is it accurate to say Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from Burisma? | ||
| Yes, that would be accurate. | ||
| Thank you. To the American people, I want to point out briefly that Hunter Biden has absolutely zero qualifications in this industry or in business in general, but he does have the big guy. | ||
| Now imagine, you're the Democrat sitting on the other side of this aisle, just closing your eyes, burying your head in the sand, or burying your head in your own You get the point. | ||
| And just pretending like, oh, this isn't going on. | ||
| The American people are not going to understand this. | ||
| We can cover this up. We can get away with it. | ||
| And they just have no concern at all for their reputation, I suppose. | ||
| They have no shame, you might say. | ||
| No shame in these crooks. | ||
| But then imagine Marjorie Taylor Greene gets up there. | ||
| And she starts showing images from the Biden laptop. | ||
| Now, I don't have all the Marjorie Taylor Greene clips in front of me. | ||
| I will show you one of them right now. | ||
| She's also claiming that the evidence they've seen based off of the IRS investigation and what they've seen in the laptop, she thinks, she accuses Hunter Biden of potentially trafficking humans. | ||
| But here's Marjorie Taylor Greene showing you Hunter Biden's laptop images, which are | ||
| obviously blanked out for obvious reasons. | ||
| Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, it's over time. | ||
| Excuse me, this is my time. | ||
| I'm becoming, okay. | ||
| Making pornography. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Should we be displaying this, Mr. Chairman, in the committee? | |
| The lady's time has expired and went two and a half minutes over. | ||
| Mr. Chairman, can I have a phone number? | ||
| If Mr. Mifume wants the two and a half minutes, he can have it. | ||
| If he wants to yield some to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez when she goes, she can have it. | ||
| They started freaking out when MTG started pulling up images of Hunter Biden's laptop | ||
| and him. | ||
| I mean, I'm not going to give you the graphic details, but you get it. | ||
| Hunter Biden doing pornography, to put it lightly. | ||
| Hunter Biden doing drugs and pornography, and that's putting it lightly. | ||
| So they got enraged when Marjorie Taylor Greene presented that and then showed the drug deals and what appeared to be sex deals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Human trafficking deals. | |
| And then you have the Democrats on the other side of the aisle, and they just don't listen to it. | ||
| They can't even see it. | ||
| It's stunning. It's stunning. | ||
| And so here's the realization. | ||
| I was kind of teasing this earlier. I don't know if I have time to explain, but you realize this is not, folks, this is beyond political. | ||
| All right, this hearing is still in recess, so let's go back to earlier today. | ||
| Representative Jason Smith from Missouri, here's how he used his time in clip six. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Ways and Means Committee is charged with ensuring that the tax code is enforced fairly. | |
| Clearly, the president only believes in making taxpayers pay their fair share if they don't share his last name. | ||
| These two courageous whistleblowers provided my committee with devastating testimony showing that the government is not treating all taxpayers equally and the DOJ and the IRS gave preferential treatment to the president's son during a criminal investigation into his taxes. | ||
| These individuals in front of us today are credible and set for nearly 15 hours of interviews | ||
| with both Republicans and Democrats. | ||
| I personally took part in the interview with Mr. Ziegler. | ||
| Here's what we learned from the interviewees. | ||
| The IRS recommended multiple felony charges against Hunter Biden for tax years 2014 through | ||
| 2019 relating to at least $8.3 million in income from foreign companies, including companies | ||
| based in China, Romania, and Ukraine. | ||
| And that is the only amount discovered despite the roadblocks and obstruction their investigation face. | ||
| The Department of Justice engaged in a campaign to delay, divulge, and deny that investigation. | ||
| They delayed investigators for years, leading to the expiration of the statute of limitations for many of the crimes involved. | ||
| They divulged key investigative details to Biden's attorneys and even the president's transition team. | ||
| And they denied investigators the ability to authenticate evidence, serve warrants, question witnesses, and bring charges. | ||
| This led to Hunter Biden's sweetheart agreement, announced five years after the investigation started, but mere days before my committee voted to publicly release this testimony. | ||
| Would Americans in my congressional district or any other congressional district ever receive this same treatment? | ||
| After raising their concerns internally at the IRS, these whistleblowers were discouraged and demoralized and turned to Congress as a last resort. | ||
| They bravely reported wrongdoing to us. | ||
| And what have President Biden's allies, including Hunter Biden's lawyers, done? | ||
| They've responded with a vicious, a vicious smear campaign to discredit these whistleblowers and discourage others from coming forward and may have even coordinated with the White House on this effort. | ||
| This is a disgrace. | ||
| All right, let's go back live. | ||
| They have resumed the hearing. | ||
| Comer gaveling them in right now. | ||
| Let's pick it back up live, ladies and gentlemen, from Washington, D.C., the IRS whistleblower hearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The transcript doesn't include that, no. | |
| Yeah, the transcript does not include that. | ||
| Nor does it include that Merrick Garland interfered with your investigations, correct? | ||
| The transcript does not say that, no. | ||
| Thank you. The reason that I say that is because it's the insinuation that this committee is trying to make, or at least one side of this committee is trying to make, is that for some reason there was interference. | ||
| And my colleagues continue to make sure that they outline the fact that this investigation actually started under the Trump administration. | ||
| There it is. I mean, these guys are so predictable. | ||
| Go ahead and potter down. | ||
| Go ahead and potter down. | ||
| It's two. That's my rule. | ||
| I already said, as soon as they say Trump, we're potting them down. | ||
| This isn't about Trump, but they can't get over it. | ||
| By the way, a little ditty in the news today. | ||
| Biden administration suspends funding for Wuhan lab. | ||
| Biden administration moves to ban funding, so they're suspending it. | ||
| Now they're trying to ban it altogether. | ||
| Oh! That's... | ||
| I thought there was no funding to the Wuhan lab. | ||
| I thought that was a conspiracy theory. | ||
| And I thought the Wuhan lab had nothing to do with the COVID outbreak. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, it was a lie like everything else? | |
| Wow. Wow. | ||
| Then you have some developments in the Trump case. | ||
| By the way, I got a couple clips from Trump's town hall last night with Hannity. | ||
| I think more of it's going to air tonight. | ||
| It was pretty good. | ||
| I'll talk more about that in the third hour. | ||
| But a couple developments there in the Trump case, or case is... | ||
| A federal judge in New York has denied Trump's attempt to take the Manhattan-based charges into federal court, so they want to keep it in their corrupted Manhattan courts with that. | ||
| They don't want it to go to the higher-ups. | ||
| And then you also have... | ||
| This one is truly wild. | ||
| Judge Kaplan rejects Trump's bid to throw out the verdict in the Carroll sexual assault lawsuit, and he says the jury did, in fact, find that Trump raped her based on the common definition of the word. | ||
| Now, you understand that Trump was found not guilty of any rape charges. | ||
| There are no rape charges. | ||
| So, the defamation was that Trump said, she's falsely accusing me of rape. | ||
| Now, there are no rape charges. | ||
| Trump was never found guilty of rape. | ||
| So how can you defame Carol by saying she lied about me raping her and then there was no rape? | ||
| And they just say, well, you still defamed her even though she did lie about you raping her. | ||
| And now they're saying, well, the jury did find Trump raped her. | ||
| That wasn't the case. | ||
| There was no case there. | ||
| It's just, it's also corrupted. | ||
| So... But I do intend to get more into Trump's town hall last night with a couple clips and tell you what was going on there. | ||
| I'm going to try to get to the rest of this news today, but we're really going to be focusing on this hearing at least the rest of this hour. | ||
| And I'd still like for you to hear the opening statements from Gary Shipley and from Joseph Ziegler, the IRS whistleblowers today as well, because I think that is very important for you to hear. | ||
| Let's see, guys. Is that Democrat still? | ||
| Is the Democrat? | ||
| She's still talking? All right, so let's just do this then. | ||
| I need to be very... Economical with my time today. | ||

| All right, before we go to this break, here's Joe Biden's presidency in a nutshell. | ||
| He does an interview with NBC News. | ||
| He has his handler right there in the room with him, and then he still blows it in clip four. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But can we level set in terms of the soul of America? | |
| Right now, hate crimes are on the rise. | ||
| Random acts of gun violence. | ||
| Women are under attack. | ||
| Mr. President? I'll do one. | ||
| The answer is yes, because that's why we cannot let this election be won where the same man who was president four years ago becomes president again. | ||
| So even with the handler in there, he still fumbles as well. | ||
| Cut through the liner. Let's go right back to the hearing. | ||
| Live right now, Washington, D.C., the IRS whistleblowers on the Biden crime family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
After that, the senior leadership quickly trumped CT counsel, and they concurred with the charges, so we sent it forward to the Department of Justice's Tax Division for further approval. | |
| And Mr. Ziegler? Everything that he just said was correct. | ||
| Now, Mr. Shapley, you recommended felony charges in this special agent report. | ||
| And we all know the answer, but was Hunter Biden ultimately charged with those felonies? | ||
| No, he was not. Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, what role did Leslie Wolf play in the investigation? | ||
| So she was an assistant United States attorney out of the District of Delaware assigned to the investigation. | ||
| You met with her and her team during the Hunter Biden case, correct? | ||
| That is correct. In your testimony to Ways and Means, you described Assistant U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf, who was once again overseeing the case out of Delaware, as saying during a meeting that she did not want to ask about the big guy and stated she didn't want to ask questions about dad. | ||
| Is that statement accurate? | ||
| And I want to remind you that you're under oath. | ||
| Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to make an economical decision here with my time because I think Mr. | ||
| Letourner might get a little redundant and I would rather air Marjorie Taylor Greene's session for you right now. | ||
| So guys, let's go to clip 24. | ||
| This is Marjorie Taylor Greene's full-time pulling out the Biden laptop images and just, I mean, pun intended, shoving it down the Democrats' throats. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Before we begin, I would like to let the committee and everyone watching at home that parental discretion is advised. | ||
| I would also like to remind everyone that on our oversight committee, we provide oversight to all parts of the federal government, including their Department of Justice and their willingness to prosecute and their unwillingness to prosecute, and whether it's politically motivated. | ||
| I would also like to say that when Evidence and proof of a crime is presented. | ||
| No prosecution should be denied, no matter who the person is. | ||
| To the whistleblowers today, I thank both of you for your courage to come to the committee today and your commitment to truth. | ||
| I have great respect for it, so thank you. | ||
| I would like to talk with you both about Hunter Biden and his tax write-offs with his law firm, Owosco. | ||
| I would like to ask, Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, when did you start your investigation and your testimony? | ||
| It was November 2018. | ||
| Is that correct? Yes or no? | ||
| Yes, that's correct. Thank you. | ||
| During your testimony with the House Ways and Means Committee, you stated that through bank records, you identified Hunter Biden was paying prostitutes related to a potential prostitution ring. | ||
| Is that correct? Yes or no? | ||
| Yes, that's correct. I've also reviewed those same bank reports, commonly referred to as SARS, suspicious activity reports, and I'm very troubled by them. | ||
| We read thousands of them in the Treasury. | ||
| This particular excerpt from a SARS report talks about human trafficking and in regards to Hunter Biden and Owosco and payments he was making. | ||
| What's even more troubling to me is that the Department of Justice has brought no charges against Hunter Biden that will vindicate the rights of these women who are clearly victims under the law. | ||
| I would like to talk about, in your prior testimony, you stated that the prosecutorial team was investigating violations of the Mann Act. | ||
| Is that correct, Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ziegler? That is correct. | |
| Regarding the Mann Act, if a person is transported across state lines for sexual activity, such as prostitution, that could be a violation of a federal law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that correct? I actually recently looked at the federal law regarding Mann Act, and I believe that that is correct, but I would refer you to the DOJ manual. | |
| Thank you. I would like to present this to the committee. | ||
| This is showing Hunter Biden paying for a victim's United flight from L.A. to Dulles. | ||
| This was a — I believe this is a violation of the Mann Act. | ||
| This is Hunter Biden's — this is his proof that he bought the ticket. | ||
| He bought it for this woman right here. | ||
| She, he flew her from Los Angeles to Washington on June 14th, flew her back to Los Angeles, California on June 15th of 2018. | ||
| And I would like to point out that if he was purchasing her a plane ticket for sex and traveling across state lines, do you believe that to be a violation of the Mann Act, Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ziegler? So I can talk to specifically what's in my transcript regarding the Mann Act. | |
| So I know we were compiling the information together. | ||
| Yes, but Mr. Ziegler, as the law states, by the code of the law, it states traveling, paying someone to go across state lines is prostitution. | ||
| It's a violation of the Mann Act. | ||
| Let me just move on just one more second here. | ||
| So when Hunter Biden paid for this woman To do this with him, to travel across state lines from California to Washington, D.C. on June 15th, this is a violation of the Mann Act. | ||
| This was prostitution. | ||
| Let me continue. | ||
| Did Hunter Biden also use his company, Owosco PC, to pay prostitutes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you hold on one second? | |
| Chairman? Yeah. | ||
| We'll give you this additional time back. | ||
| It was. | ||
| They're going through his testimony here to see what what he can say accurately | ||
| about that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll put it in the show. | |
| So regarding MAN Act violations, what we can do is, given by the statute, we can turn those over to the House Ways and Means Committee, and then they can decide to vote to turn them over to you. | ||
| Regarding MAN Act. Thank you, Mr. | ||
| Ziegler. So talking about Hunter Biden using his company, a Wasco PC, to pay prostitutes, this is also a suspicious activity report showing that victim one The woman that was paid for prostitution that traveled from California to Washington, D.C., paid for by Hunter Biden. | ||
| This is an excerpt from a SARS report that we've read in the Treasury, and I think you all have looked at these too, showing that victim one was supposedly an employee of a Wasco. | ||
| But I would like to point out, this is not really what most paralegals do. | ||
| For law firms. And it's very serious that Hunter Biden was paying this woman through his law firm and then writing it off as business tax exemptions. | ||
| Most people write off things for their taxes through their businesses, like a meal or, say, office supplies. | ||
| But can you confirm for me that Hunter Biden had written off payments to prostitutes through his law firm Owosco? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I appreciate the question given by the statute. | |
| I am limited in my testimony today, and I respectfully would need to turn those records over to the House Ways and Means Committee. | ||
| Okay. Thank you, Mr. | ||
| Ziegler. One last question. | ||
| By the way, they are going to turn those documents over. | ||
| You referred to one of the assistants as West Coast Assistant. | ||
| I believe this is the West Coast assistant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Could you agree with that? So I can tell you that there were deductions for what we believe to be escorts and then that $10,000 golf club membership. | |
| Yes, that was not a golf club membership. | ||
| That was for a sex club payment. | ||
| That was for a sex club payment. | ||
| Payments such as this Through from Hunter Biden to prostitutes. | ||
| Now she shows the bank records. | ||
| Also, Mr. Shapley. Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. Chairman, we're 1 minute and 53 seconds over. | |
| As long as Ms. Ocasio-Cortez can get equal time, she can keep going. | ||
| I will let Ms. | ||
| Green wrap up. Five seconds. | ||
| And then I'll give Mr. | ||
| Mifume additional time. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. | ||
| Chairman. Mr. | ||
| Shapley, you started an investigation into Hunter Biden, codenamed Sportsman, which opened in November of 2018. | ||
| It was an offshoot of an investigation the IRS was conducting into a foreign-based amateur online pornography platform. | ||
| This is evidence of Hunter Biden making sex — excuse me, this is my time — making pornography — Should we be displaying this, Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Chairman, in the committee? | |
| The ladies' times expired. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| The Democrats, and I'm sorry, excuse me for the sordid details of what was just on the screen, but you're telling me that the Democrats in that hearing didn't like seeing images of Hunter Biden shoving women's heads onto his penis? | ||
| They didn't like Hunter Biden grabbing women's heads and shoving them down on his laptop that he's apparently paying for with his business money and writing it off as a tax exemption? | ||
| They didn't like that, huh? Well, I wonder why. | ||
| All right, I'm going to try to air as much as their opening statements as I can. | ||
| They're live again right now. | ||
| Let's pick up the live feed and we'll try to make it all possible. | ||
| But no matter what, I will make sure the entire opening statements are on the War Room's channel at band.video. | ||
| But let's go back live to the hearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that is like, okay, that's what they decided to do. | |
| Have you either of you ever seen anything like that before in your decades of experience? | ||
| And gentlemen, Tom's excited, please feel free to answer the question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I have not. | |
| I have not either. Well, I want to thank you. | ||
| I think you're both excellent public servants and you're courageous. | ||
| And justice is the only thing I want to be blind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not our Democratic colleagues, not the legacy media, and certainly not top administration officials. | |
| Mr. Chairman, I yield back. Chair, recognize Mr. | ||
| Goldman from New York. Thank you, Mr. | ||
| Chairman. I'd love to get the extra minute that Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fallon got as well. He knew the rules. | |
| Thank you guys for being here today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We don't have a lot of time here. | |
| I have a lot of questions. If I cut you off, I'm not trying to be rude. | ||
| I'm just trying to get through them. | ||
| And I want to talk a little bit about the evidence you did have. | ||
| Mr. Ziegel, you were the case agent. | ||
| So how many documents would you say you had gathered during the five-year investigation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, however, I do believe I may have documents. | |
| I am limited by the statute, but I would be more than welcome to turn those documents- No, no, I don't need them. | ||
| How many? Just the number. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a significant amount of documents. | |
| I apologize. Hundreds of thousands? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Millions? I don't want to put a number to it, but there was a lot. | |
| Right. Bank records, right? | ||
| You had a lot of bank records? | ||
| Yes. Both domestic and foreign? | ||
| That is correct. And you conducted search warrants? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, there was reference in our transcripts to conducting electronic search warrants. | |
| And did you do other search warrants as well? | ||
|
unidentified
|
When you say other search warrants, what do you mean? | |
| Any other search warrants? Electric, otherwise physical? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I'm gonna stick to what I stated in my transcript. | |
| There were multiple electronic search warrants. | ||
| And you said that you conducted more than 60 interviews as part of this investigation, is that right? | ||
| That is correct. That's a lot for any investigation, right? | ||
| For a tax investigation? | ||
| I wouldn't say that. All right, in my 10 years, I don't know how many investigations I did with 60 interviews. | ||
| So I want to focus, though, for a second on the WhatsApp that we went through. | ||
| And Mr. Shapley, in your testimony, your opening statement, you said that the text message, the WhatsApp message that we've been talking about, shows Hunter Biden discussing business with his father. | ||
| Could you show me where in the text message it says anything about discussing business with Joe Biden? | ||
| Please read the text. Please read the whole thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So if you'd like me to go through it, I mean, I can take time to review it if you'd like me to. | |
| Please do. Well, I don't have the time, unfortunately, as you point out. | ||
| I will tell you the only thing it says about it is that Hunter Biden was sitting with his father. | ||
| It does not say anything about discussing any business. | ||
| Wow. And Mr. | ||
| Chaplin, you also said in your testimony, and we talked about this a bunch, that the agents were prohibited from pursuing leads related to Joe Biden and the big guy. | ||
| I don't have a black band on my watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just clown world. | |
| They just interviewed Rob Walker. | ||
| And they asked him about that, right? | ||
| They didn't use the word big guy, but they asked about it in reference to that text. | ||
| And do you recall that Rob Walker actually said, in response to that, that he was not aware that Joe Biden was ever a part of anything that he and Hunter were doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what the witness said, yes. | |
| Yes. And then you describe a lunch, what we talked about earlier, where Joe Biden came to say hello at the Four Seasons Hotel to lunch that he was having with CEFC executives, right? | ||
| That's correct. But what you didn't talk about is what Rob Walker said the origination of that lunch was. | ||
| And you testified that Hunter told his dad, according to Rob Walker, quote, I may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys. | ||
| Now, let me ask you something. That doesn't sound much like Joe Biden was involved in whatever Hunter Biden was doing with the CEFC if Hunter Biden is telling him that he's trying to do business with them, does it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but it does show that he told his father he was trying to do business. | |
| Yeah, there's like literally all these texts, 10% for the big guy, you know, dad, age, everything. | ||
| And then he's just like, because it's not in one message, he's acting like it doesn't exist. | ||
| ...connecting Joe Biden To any of Hunter Biden's business deal, you actually had proof that he wasn't involved. | ||
| That is the proof that you had. | ||
| And in the end of the day, that this was a five-year criminal investigation with tens of thousands of documents, maybe hundreds of thousands, unusual warrants, aggressive techniques. | ||
| You wrote a report recommending felony charges. | ||
| It went to DOJ tax. | ||
| They wrote a 99-page memo of approval, and neither of you saw that, did you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's correct. That is correct. | |
| And what was their recommendation? | ||
| So, all I know- Approval, discretion, or declination? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, from- I have to stick to the confines. | |
| You testified that it was discretion, which means that it wasn't an approval. | ||
| It was to the discretion of the U.S. Attorney's Office, which had that DOJ tax memo, which had information from the defense lawyers that they spoke with. | ||
| And they are the ones who have to prove this case in court. | ||
| And I will tell you, as a federal prosecutor for 10 years, and I worked with many of your colleagues who do great work, and I'm sure you do great work as well. | ||
| But I never met an agent who didn't want to charge every possible case. | ||
| But what I noticed in five hours of testimony today is that neither one of you has ever mentioned a portion of the case that may not be so strong or may be suspect or may have a defense. | ||
| And that's because that's what the prosecutor has to think about before charging a case. | ||
| And that is not what the special agent report does. | ||
| Gentlemen, he already went a minute over. | ||
| Care now recognizes Mr. | ||
| Perry from Pennsylvania. He didn't say Trump. | ||
| He actually did it without saying Trump. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, if you can turn to page 30 of your transcript, then I want to say to Mr. | ||
| Shapley and Mr. | ||
| Ziegler, we sure appreciate you coming forward. | ||
| I think, look, we've heard of alleged so-called whistleblowers in the past. | ||
| They couldn't reveal themselves. | ||
| And it led to an improper impeachment of a president that was unjustified and unsubstantiated. | ||
| So I really do credit you. | ||
| I think this has probably been very, very difficult and a hard choice for you to make. | ||
| But I think it was the right one, and I commend you for it. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, page 30, your transcript, let me see, middle of the page, last sentence, second paragraph, starting with, every single day. | ||
| Every single day was a battle to do our jobs. | ||
| Now, I understand that in Congress, but you're following the letter of the law, you're taking in information, you're doing prescribed, you do this, you do this, and you get that. | ||
| Why is your day That's a chilling line. | ||
| What did you mean when you said that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, every time we try to communicate investigative steps and get support for investigative steps, it was always slow walked. | |
| It was always pushed off that we needed a PIN's DOJ Public Integrity's approval or DOJ OEO's approval. | ||
| And it was just used as a crush. | ||
| The process was really used to stall the investigation. | ||
| And ultimately, which some people seem to be overlooking, is that these prosecutors agreed with these charges. | ||
| And you finally reached your red line. | ||
| You said previously, in answering Mr. | ||
| Fallon's question, you were seeking justice. | ||
| I believe you were. I don't think you were picking winners and losers, just seeking to see who's following the rules. | ||
| You finally reached your red line October 7th of 2022 at the meeting with U.S. Attorney Weiss. | ||
| Is that a reasonable characterization? | ||
| Yeah, that's correct. And what did you mean when you say you reached your red line? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So throughout the investigation, starting in the summer of 2020, my case agents were coming to me with certain concerns. | |
| And because we were worried about the discovery process with agents turning over documents at the end of the investigation, we wanted to protect that investigation. | ||
| So I documented them on a recurring basis, issues that we were having. | ||
| And it was after discussions with my agents. | ||
| I also saw these things firsthand. | ||
| So we got to the point where it's a heavy burden. | ||
| I have a very deep respect for the Department of Justice and AUSAs and U.S. attorneys I've worked with in the past. | ||
| And I just couldn't... | ||
| Ultimately conclude that they were doing the wrong thing was just such a high burden. | ||
| Yeah, you concluded that. | ||
| And Mr. Ziegler, your red line, I think you said, I don't want to mischaracterize, mischaracterize, is a little later, December 14, 2020, when AUSA Wolf tips off the Biden Council about your plan to search the storage unit. | ||
| Is that right or not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, because that storage unit, the method that we were planning to do was the least intrusive. | |
| It was a storage unit. | ||
| We wanted to get, we needed to get those records. | ||
| And again, you were just seeking justice, right? | ||
| Seeking the truth. Absolutely. | ||
| Truth's gonna take wherever it takes you to make decisions based on what you learn. | ||
| Turning back to you, Mr. Shapely, what was your agency's leadership's response when you tried to alert officials outside your chain of command? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, most recently, when Specialist Ziegler emailed the commissioner... | |
| We're up against a break here. | ||
| A couple short breaks. | ||
| We're going to pick this back up live in 90 seconds. | ||
| We may have to move on to some other news, but we'll keep covering it live for the time being. | ||
| All right, we're in hour number three now of the InfoWars War Room, brought to you by InfoWarsStore.com, the fastest three hours of the internet. | ||
| And let's go back to Washington, D.C., where the IRS whistleblowers and the Biden crime family are testifying in front of Congress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
...while he was president because they were leasing space in Trump Tower. | |
| No, he said Trump pulled down. | ||
| Well, that didn't take long. | ||
| That was a quick one, huh? Boy, I appreciate that Democrat. | ||
| He's saving us a lot of valuable time here. | ||
| So let's do this then, since he mentions Trump. | ||
| Trump had a town hall with Hannity last night, and I'm going to play you a couple clips and tell you why I think this is significant, but, you know, I've got a bit of a frustration with Trump in how he kind of talks to the public like either he's ignorant or they're ignorant, and even as much so, and probably this is just, you know, coming from a place of, I mean, come on, it's Has anybody done more for Donald Trump besides Donald Trump than Infowars in our audience? | ||
| Not many in the media, if any. | ||
| Certainly not Sean Hannity, but yet he gives him all the time in the world. | ||
| But see, I was able to watch this last night and I had some realizations. | ||
| I realized why he goes on Hannity. | ||
| And I realized why he talks like he's ignorant or the people are ignorant because it's frustrating to you. | ||
| It's frustrating to me because we understand what's going on and it frustrates us. | ||
| But most people don't. | ||
| So Trump is speaking to the average American when he does this stuff. | ||
| And while it frustrates us, I do think Trump is cerebral enough to know that, hey, I don't have to address the people that fully understand what's going on. | ||
| They know what's going on. | ||
| I have to address the people that don't know what's going on and don't know how they're going to vote. | ||
| And I think he's effective at that. | ||
| Now, listen to what he says in clip two about getting money from China to help the farmers in Iowa that they loved a lot. | ||
| Listen to this in clip two. | ||
| You know, I gave Iowa and farmers, the farm states, $28 billion from China, $28 billion. | ||
| That's why I said, you know, I go around, I don't want to be too boisterous on this, because you never know, right? | ||
| But I said, there's no way I could lose Iowa and Nebraska, any of these states. | ||
| There's no way, because I gave the farmers $28 billion from China. | ||
| No person, no president's ever gotten 10 cents from China. | ||
| I got hundreds of billions of dollars and I went to the Secretary of Agriculture. | ||
| How much has... | ||
| I think they obviously got a check. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I love you. So, okay. | ||
| So Trump did help the farmers a lot. | ||
| You can hear it in the audience there. | ||
| A lot of them are probably farmers. But imagine this, folks. | ||
| Imagine this. Trump is able to bring money back domestically out of our trade deficit and where China has replaced American farmers. | ||
| And Trump is able to negotiate deals. | ||
| He brings $28 billion back to the farming community in America. | ||
| And you hear how positively it affects that community. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, let's look at this through the lens of foreign aid. | ||
| We have given $200 billion to Ukraine in the last two years. | ||
| $200 billion. Listen to how happy and how positively $28 billion helped the farmers in the Middle East. | ||
| Excuse me, the Midwest. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| $28 billion to farmers in the Midwest, and it's like it changed their life. | ||
| What could $200 billion do for the American people? | ||
| $200 billion to Ukraine. | ||
| $28 billion changed farmers' lives. | ||
| Changed the entire industry's direction, trend, future with $28 billion. | ||
| Joe Biden has given $200 billion to Ukraine. | ||
| What is that? I mean, you're talking about eight times what Trump gave the farmers. | ||
| Can you imagine what that would do for America? | ||
| Can you imagine how that could impact the farming industry, agriculture industry, infrastructure, anything? | ||
| $28 billion. You heard the response there. | ||
| It made a difference. Imagine what $200 billion could do. | ||
| Joe Biden gave it to Ukraine. | ||
| And that's just a tiny portion of the picture. | ||
| But it just, it tells you everything right there. | ||
| $200 billion for Ukraine. | ||
| Imagine where that money's going, what it's going towards. | ||
| $28 billion in the U.S. helped farmers, helped the agriculture industry here, made a difference, but Biden gives $200 billion to Ukraine instead. | ||
| All right, let's go back now to Washington, D.C. The IRS whistleblowers into the Biden crime family are testifying. | ||
| Now we go back live to the Capitol. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of my testimony, but what I can tell you is that there may be some documents that are responsive to that, and then I can turn those over to the House Ways and Means Committee and then get those over. | |
| Yes. They would vote to get those released. | ||
| Yes. We would love to get those in. | ||
| And I see that Hunter Biden received more than $8 million in foreign payments, including $100,000 made from CEFC directly, $664,000 from State Energy, HK, as you mentioned. | ||
| Another Chinese company and a $325,000 capital contribution made into Bohai Harvest on Hunter's behalf, a Chinese equity investment fund. | ||
| Were you shocked to find that the then Vice President Sun received all of these payments, particularly the ones from Chinese entities? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, as I tried to state earlier, in this position, you have to be nonpartisan. | |
| It isn't a matter of shock, it's just- Well, it's not the political position, not the party, but just the vice president's son. | ||
| So I'm not accusing you of political bias here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's just follow the evidence, see where the transactions are coming from, interview witnesses, and try to figure out what the purpose of those transfers of money were for. | |
| And Mr. Shapley, in March of 2017, Robinson Walker LLC received a $3 million wire from a Chinese company, State Energy, HK Limited, which took place just two months after Joe Biden left office as vice president. | ||
| And I believe it was in your testimony that you said that it seemed that this would be getting into place, or it was in a testimony that was said today, that this would be being assembled before he left office and then just shortly after. | ||
| It came to fruition. | ||
| So can you quickly discuss the Robinson-Walker connection to the Biden family? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, I have to refer to Special Agent Ziegler. | |
| I don't think I spoke about the $3 million. | ||
| Yeah, so any of that information related to the $3 million, we can turn over to the House Ways and Means Committee and they can vote to release that to you. | ||
| Thank you. And I see that Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong, a CEFC associate, established Hudson West 3 LLC and each owned 50% of the company between August 2017 and October. | ||
| In October 2018, Hudson West 3 sent over $4 million to Hunter Biden and over $75,000 to James Biden, Hunter Biden's uncle. | ||
| Now, can you discuss these payments? | ||
| Because my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are wondering what the apostrophe is when we're talking about the Bidens. | ||
| And it seems there are more Bidens right here who are receiving money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, in an answer to his question regarding President Biden, and in an answer to this question, any documents that we believe that we may have in our possession, we can turn over the House Ways and Means Committee. | |
| They can vote to release it to you guys. | ||
| Okay, I request that you release those to them. | ||
| And then also, we have The situation with Gaoloft, that he was doing business with CEFC, and I guess that makes you a Chinese spy. | ||
| So I guess Hunter Biden is a Chinese spy, according to their allegations. | ||
| But do you have any information regarding Gaoloft that you could also turn over to the Ways and Means Committee? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So any information that I have in my case file at the direction of my attorney, we can turn over to the House. | |
| By the way, this is the same gal that went into hiding because he was afraid of the Bidens and then said, how come I'm dealing with all of these charges but Hunter Biden's not? | ||
| We have evidence today about millions of dollars being shuffled through these shell companies. | ||
| We've seen delayed warrants to impact a 2020 election. | ||
| Prosecutors instructed not to involve the big guy because optics. | ||
| Well, the optics are very, very clear. | ||
| Hunter Biden sold access to his father with an influence peddling scheme, which in my opinion, It compromises the current president of the United States. | ||
| The Biden family has never sold anything in their life but their influence in Washington, D.C. Every business they have is monetizing their grift of the American people. | ||
| Thank you for making that very clear today, gentlemen. | ||
| I yield. The chair now recognizes Ms. | ||
|

|
McClain from Michigan. Thank you guys for being here. | |
| It's been a long day, but... | ||
| We appreciate you. | ||
| The American people appreciate you. | ||
| To get some truth and honesty back in the American justice system, I think it's great. | ||
| Oh, this is another Republican, so she probably won't say Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've heard a lot of rhetoric today, and I just want to talk about as much as we can, just the facts. | |
| Just stick to the facts. Mr. | ||
| Shapley, in August of 2020, your team obtained a July 2017 WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Zaho, a Chinese businessman. | ||
| And I want to read a few lines from that message. | ||
| I'm sure you remember it, but I'll just refresh your memory. | ||
| And I quote, Please have the director call me, not James or Tony or Jim, have him call me tonight. | ||
| I'm sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. | ||
| And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction. | ||
| And I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father again. | ||
| End quote. | ||
| That's a fact. I didn't make that up. | ||
| That's not my opinion. That's not rhetoric. | ||
| This is a message from Hunter Biden's WhatsApp app, correct? | ||
| It's from a search warrant from an Apple iCloud backup. | ||
| Yes. From where? From whose phone? | ||
| My phone? Your phone? | ||
| It was from Hunter Biden. Okay, thank you, sir. | ||
| I didn't mean to be disrespectful. It wasn't from his phone, but it was from Hunter Biden device. | ||
| Yes. Okay, thank you. | ||
| But it was linked to Hunter Biden, correct? | ||
| Yes. Okay, thank you. Now, Mr. | ||
| Shapley, were the Bidens contemplating a deal with CEFC in July 2017 timeframe? | ||
| So I would just have to stick to what was in my transcript. | ||
| I don't know if I really described that. | ||
| And then I think that's a portion of the WhatsApp message. | ||
| However, I do believe there's a full chain that if it's relevant, we can turn that over to the House Ways and Means Committee, and they can decide to vote to release that team. | ||
| Wow, there's more messages. I just wanted to give in my limited time just to set the stage. | ||
| One person has come forward. | ||
| Tony Bobulinski, I believe, has alleged that the Bidens were contemplating a deal with CEFC even earlier than 2017. | ||
| And he's come forward and said that. | ||
| Is Tony Bobulinski the Tony referenced in the WhatsApp? | ||
| I'm trying to connect the dots. | ||
| I think we need to stick to the transcript. | ||
| And I think in my testimony I referenced Sinohawk. | ||
| The Sinohawk deal, and we know that that deal never went through, and that relates to CEFC in China. | ||
| Okay, so the Tony that he's referencing, do you believe that to be Tony Bobulinski? | ||
| In my transcript, I did not mention anything regarding Tony Bobulinski, but what I can do, again, is provide any information that I have related to him over the House Ways and Means Committee. | ||
| Thank you so much. And Tony Bobulinski will cooperate. | ||
| He already blew the whistle on the Biden crime family years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that James Gilear, another Biden associate? | |
| We might have to get that one too. | ||
| And again, I think it's just critical that we stick to the facts. | ||
| We're going to continue to cover this. | ||
| I'm going to have to make a decision in the break whether I want to continue with this live coverage or get into some other news. | ||
| I got another clip from the Trump town hall last night as well as some other news, but I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. We'll decide. Ladies and gentlemen, let's keep InfoWars on the air. | ||

| They're over 10 minutes long. | ||
| But let's go back now live to the hearing as it continues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I can talk about my normal experience. | |
| What I've... Hold on one second. | ||
| Give me a couple seconds. So I can provide this in an additional testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee to explain that. | ||
| Okay, I'd like to get that. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler also Rosemont Seneca, Bohai, they didn't do anything. | ||
| They didn't produce anything. | ||
| Skinny Atlas, they didn't obviously do anything. | ||
| Owasco did not do anything. | ||
| Hudson West 3 didn't do anything. | ||
| But are all these Hunter Biden-affiliated companies, to your best of your recollection, I believe I referenced in my testimony that I knew of those, but I didn't reference how I knew of them. | ||
| Okay. And I should have directed that at Mr. | ||
| Shapley, I believe. But my point is, you're familiar with these companies, but have you been able to identify what the Bidens did here in the business of selling or what they did with these companies? | ||
| Either one of y'all, Mr. | ||
| Shapley. Again, I'm gonna have to, the response to that, the reason why some of these payments were received, we can turn over as a part of an additional testimony. | ||
| Well, I guess my point is they didn't sell tough steaks or crappy ties. | ||
| They sold influence, in my opinion. | ||
| And I'm out of time, Mr. | ||
| Chairman, I apologize. I would like to close and say a buddy of mine, Rob Delosier, texted me during all this and said, I hope y'all get to the bottom of this and I hope y'all do something about it. | ||
| So that would be my wish for this committee. | ||
| Thank you guys so much. | ||
| That's the goal. Thank you. | ||
| Chair now recognizes Mr. | ||
| Fry for five minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. | |
| Ziegler, Mr. Shapley, were you able to pursue this investigation in areas that may implicate the president's involvement in his family's businesses? | ||
| We were hindered from following that line of investigative steps. | ||
| Would you echo that Mr. Ziegler? | ||
| Yeah, specifically in my testimony I referenced the campaign. | ||
| In 2020, President Biden, candidate Biden at the time, said during a debate, and I'm going to quote, my son has not made any money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China? | ||
| I have not had. The only guy who made money from China is this guy, Donald Trump. | ||
| He's the only one. Nobody else has made any money from China. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler, was the president telling the truth when he said that his son, Hunter Biden, had not made any money from China? | ||
| So I don't know what the president at the time was thinking, but what I can tell you based on what I testified in my transcript, that he did earn money from China. | ||
| Right. And in March of 2023, just a couple months ago, The committee showed through bank records that Hunter Biden, the president's son James Biden, Hallie Biden, all received money originating from China funneled through Robinson Walker LLC, a company owned by Rob Walker, who's a well-known Biden associate. | ||
| When presented with this evidence by a reporter, the president said, that's not true. | ||
| Mr. Ziegler, is it true that the president's family received money originating from China, which was funneled through the Robinson Walker account? | ||
| That is correct. | ||
| It's called a rat hole in money laundering terminology. | ||
| Mr. Shapley, you sat on the meeting on October 7th, 2022 with Mr. | ||
| Weiss. You testified to that, is that correct? | ||
| Yes, that's correct. And later this year, on June 7th, Mr. | ||
| Weiss publicly stated in a letter to the Judiciary Committee the following. | ||
| Quote, as the Attorney General has stated, I have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges. | ||
| End quote. That statement is dramatically inconsistent with your recollection of a meeting that happened in October of 2022. | ||
| Is that correct? Yes. | ||
| Corroborated... Documentation of that meeting clearly shows that that's not accurate. | ||
| How is that not accurate, from your recollection of that meeting? | ||
| Because during that meeting, United States Attorney Weiss said that he was a deciding person, said it right out, and he further went in. | ||
| The Department of Justice Tax Division had to approve any charges first, to which, as of March 16, 2023, We know that they had not approved anything yet. | ||
| He further goes and says the D.C. U.S. Attorney had declined to allow charges to be charged. | ||
| Let's keep this in mind here. This is just frustrating because of all the context that it gets left out here. | ||
| But go back to the testimony real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he told us at that meeting on October 7th, 2022, that if California declined it, that he would have to request a special authority again. | |
| Okay, so imagine though, you have, if this was going on, how do I best say this? | ||
| If the Democrats wanted to get rid of Joe Biden right now, they would be doing it right now. | ||
| They would be piling on and they would be saying, yep, this is all real. | ||
| Biden's corrupt and we got to get him out of there. | ||
| So, The Democrats are still running protection for Joe Biden, but do they really expect to ride Joe Biden to the finish line for the 2024 presidential election? | ||
| I don't think so. Something is up behind the scenes here. | ||
| If this was in the year 2019 or 2020 and this was going on, the Democrats might have been all on board to expose the Biden crime family. | ||
| Hell, Clinton was threatening to do that in 2015. | ||
| On two different occasions, the Democrats have gone after Joe Biden for total destruction. | ||
| Now, all of a sudden, they're backing Joe Biden. | ||
| So that's an interesting thing there for me, but let's go back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, essentially when DC said no, and we know that DC said no, we were having conversations with our FBI counterparts of how do we bring in a special counsel into this situation? | |
| I think that like once we knew that there was going to be potential problems With going to President Biden appointees, with moving this case forward, we were actively trying to figure out, how as agents do we get that to happen? | ||
| And still to this day, there is not a special counsel assigned to this investigation. | ||
| Right, so the approach was, and I gotta Go quickly here, but the approach was to go to D.C. with Matthew Graves, where he was not able to bring charges under a Biden appointee. | ||
| He went to the Central District of California. | ||
| Mr. Estrada was not able to bring charges. | ||
| So to both of you, in conclusion, In relation to the US Attorney's inability to obtain that special counsel authority and bring these cases in either California or D.C., do you agree with Attorney General Garland's testimony that, quote, the United States Attorney Weiss has been advised that he has full authority to bring cases in other districts if he needs to do that? | ||
| I don't believe that's accurate. | ||
| And I think the key word there is he has. | ||
| And I don't think that that's accurate. | ||
| And I think that that's refuted in the later letter by U.S. Attorney David Weiss. | ||
| Thank you both. In conclusion, thank you both for being here, for your bravery and testifying to that. | ||
| I think this might be it. I know it's not been easy on you or your family, but the American people. | ||
| I think this might be the conclusion here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Appreciate the work that you do, that you continue to do, and the truth that you're shedding light on. | |
| With that, Mr. Chairman, I yield back. | ||
| You'll back. Chair recognize Mr. | ||
| Edwards from North Carolina for five minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. | |
| Ziegler, did you ever ask for access to Hunter Biden's laptop in your investigation? | ||
| I do recall asking for access, yes. | ||
| And were you granted that access? | ||
| I don't believe that that's in the confines of my transcripts. | ||
| So I do know, so when we're talking about... | ||
| Did you invest it? | ||
| Did you look at the laptop? | ||
| So I can jump in there because I documented a meeting. | ||
| There's not many members of this committee left, so we're coming up on the end here. | ||
| I may have to jump to some other news. | ||
| I think we've sufficiently covered this and understand the picture. | ||
| So I think we're going to jump to some other news on the other side. | ||
| Skip the liner. Skip the liner. | ||
| All right, here's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to pop back into this hearing quickly, and then I'm probably going to get to the other news because I think it's time to move on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But let's just quickly pop in here and see what's happening. | |
| I will tell you that We are going to be uploading a lot of stuff that we didn't air from this hearing on band.video on the War Room channel. | ||
| Full clips, full testimony, full introductions, everything. | ||
| It's going to be a good resource for some of that stuff. | ||
| And of course, the full show upload will have everything we've covered today too. | ||
| Now, let me move on to some other stuff and let's go back to Trump's town hall last night. | ||
| Because there's a little more information getting out there about the White House cocaine story and then, of course, the marijuana found at the White House a couple times when Biden got in the White House a year ago, too. | ||
| But I want to give you a little more insight into this. | ||
| Here's what Trump had to say about it last night at the town hall. | ||
| You have more cameras in that area than any place probably in the world. | ||
| You have the Situation Room. | ||
| The Situation Room, I never even thought of it in terms of this, but probably the most important room anywhere in the world. | ||
| There's no more important... Wars are decided, nuclear is decided, weapons are decided. | ||
| It's been there. There's nothing more important. | ||
| They have cameras... That's where you decided to take out Soleimani. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's where you decided to take out Baghdadi and Associates. | |
| Defeat ISIS. Don't forget, we defeated ISIS. I was told it would take three to four years to defeat ISIS and we probably couldn't do it. | ||
| I did it in four weeks, less than four weeks, right? | ||
| Pause it right there because there's an unexplained element to this and I wish Trump would do a better job explaining it. | ||
| Folks, you may remember during the Obama years, it came out all the time. | ||
| Obama did not let the military do their job. | ||
| And so essentially you have the U.S. military sitting over there that could wipe out ISIS or whoever the hell they wanted in days, if that was the goal, if that's what they really wanted to do. | ||
| And so obviously what's going on is this is just the war racket. | ||
| This is just you set up bases, you send the military over there and you have a never-ending war. | ||
| That's what it was really about. And so Trump gets in and he's like, alright, our mission is to defeat ISIS. And he goes and he talks to service members and generals and even privates. | ||
| And he says, okay, what's going on? | ||
| What are the problems? And then he finds out and he's like, oh, you guys are getting hamstrung here. | ||
| You mean all you need is the green light? | ||
| You can take them out? Yes, sir. | ||
| We just need the green light. Give us the green light. | ||
| We'll wipe out ISIS. He goes, okay, you've got the green light. | ||
| Who are the bad guys? Who's killed the most of us? | ||
| Let's just go ahead and wipe them out. | ||
| One month later, wipes them out. | ||
| That's all it was, was D.C. and the Pentagon stalling because they won a never-ending war, so all their investments with the weapons contractors and everything else pays off for them back domestically. | ||
| War is a racket, still to this day. | ||
| So that's a little context for that, but getting back to the cocaine situation. | ||
| They know who is. | ||
| They know everything. The other thing, I have a great respect for Secret Service. | ||
| I deal with them all the time. They are really incredible people. | ||
| Secret Service knows what's happening. | ||
| They know what's happening. So I think it's very disappointing that after just a few days that was over. | ||
| That's a big deal. Cocaine. | ||
| Now, the cocaine, as they say, could have been worse. | ||
| They could have gone to the bio weapons. | ||
| They could have gone to a lot of other things. | ||
| Anthrax. But cocaine's pretty bad if somebody is taking cocaine and making decisions. | ||
| What if there was fentanyl in it? | ||
| What if it was anthrax? | ||
| Well, it could have been a lot of things. God forbid. | ||
| It could have been a lot of things. And they have cameras. | ||
| And I would imagine it doesn't stop here. | ||
| But Secret Service is so incredible. | ||
| They don't get enough credit. | ||
| And they're under the orders of other people. | ||
| But I think Secret Service would be able to tell you the real answer. | ||
| But you can't have a thing like that. | ||
| So, let's try to explain what's happening here. | ||
| And I've expressed this before. | ||
| Others might feel differently, but If Secret Service is covering up whatever the Bidens are doing there, I mean, you know, I don't mind it. | ||
| Secret Service, that's their job. | ||
| They're not there to protect any political party or anything like that. | ||
| They're there to protect the White House and protect the occupants. | ||
| So if that means, you know, shoving some drugs under the rug when they get caught and not telling the world that Biden's crapping his pants and falling asleep during meetings, then that's part of their job. | ||
| And that's why they're the best. | ||
| And you can kind of hear Trump alluding to that, and then he insinuates that Biden is the one sniffing the cocaine. | ||
| But okay, aside from that, who do you think is talking to Secret Service, folks? | ||
| Donald Trump. You don't think Donald Trump is asking the Secret Service detail, hey, what do you know? | ||
| What can you tell me? | ||
| It's like, hey, I get it. I've been president. | ||
| I'm not going to say anything that I'm not supposed to say. | ||
| I respect what you guys do, but what can you tell me? | ||
| And then you've also got Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent, too, who obviously has contacts in the Secret Service. | ||
| And so, folks, it sounds like they've found drugs in the White House before, and it also sounds like they actually think somebody's selling drugs in the White House. | ||
| Now, I'm not sure why Trump thinks that Biden, the president, is doing the cocaine. | ||
| I don't know if that's a joke because he can't fall asleep or if somebody said something to him that made him believe that. | ||
| But that's pretty much, from the context of Trump talking about it and Bongino talking about it, who do talk to Secret Service. | ||
| It's pretty clear that the drug use in the White House has been swept under the rug multiple times and that they actually think one of the Biden family members is selling drugs in the White House and just leaving baggies around for other people to buy. | ||
| So that seems to be what's really going on with that situation. | ||
| Now, boy, oh boy, there's so much here. | ||
| I'll tell you what. Let me just hit some of these news stacks I have here. | ||
| By the way, Patrick Byrne is claiming to have dirt on Jack Smith that he's not releasing yet. | ||
| Says, it might come down to what I have on Jack Smith. | ||
| On a previous stop on his journey, Jack was a very naughty boy and was videotaped in his naughtiness. | ||
| He doesn't know that yet, but I suppose he does now. | ||
| Hmm. You know, he does have that look, doesn't he? | ||
| Like that, I'm worse than Hunter Biden kind of a look? | ||
| So, yeah, I don't know what that's about, but there you go on that. | ||
| Then, this is just embarrassing. | ||
| How are those sanctions against Russia going? | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Italian businesses want to switch to rubles in Russian trade. | ||
| Italian Chamber wants ruble payment mechanisms in Russian trade. | ||
| So now the ruble continues to take off. | ||
| And with BRICS getting bigger, the U.S. dollar, and it's Biden selling us out at the end of the day. | ||
| Then you have your little tyrant in Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine jail's senior Orthodox cleric Russia demands release. | ||
| So any church that is Russian Orthodox, Catholic Orthodox, Zelensky's regime is shutting down and arresting the leadership. | ||
| We have more news and photos have been released of the U.S. soldier who defected to North Korea and whisked away in a van after being released from South Korea jail for kicking a cop car. | ||
| It's crazy, but a 23-year-old flees to North Korea after arrested in South Korea for kicking a cop car. | ||
| So much you can try to take out of that, but I won't try to explain it. | ||
| Just there you have it. You also have some infrastructure things today. | ||
| By the way, I haven't really had time to look into this, but there was a tornado that hit a massive Pfizer facility somewhere in the Midwest, and apparently the facility is completely destroyed, and it was one of their biggest manufacturing and distribution hubs, and apparently this tornado completely wiped it out. | ||
| I don't know much more than that, as I've been preoccupied with this hearing. | ||
| You also have had an oil field explosion in Where was this? | ||
| I think it was North Dakota. | ||
| Because, you know, the news these days, they don't even tell you where this stuff is at. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. Yeah, North Dakota. | ||
| Oil field explosion at Newtown, North Dakota. | ||
| Multiple workers injured in a large explosion at an oil well site in North Dakota. | ||
| So that just continues. | ||
| The critical infrastructure continues to just blow up. | ||
| It just explodes on fire since Biden got into office. | ||
| Alright, I've got more on the other side, including an announcement. | ||
| We've been very serious today. | ||
| We'll have a little fun on the other side. | ||
| We're still allowed to have fun. | ||
| To be is to do. | ||
| Socrates. To do is to be. | ||
| Kant. Scooby-Dooby-Doo. | ||
| Scooby-Doo. A true aristocrat. | ||
| A true intellectual. | ||
| They don't make them like Scooby-Doo anymore, though. | ||
| I'll tell you that. And they want to destroy that franchise, too. | ||
| Dooby-Doo. All right. | ||
| Lightening it up a little bit. | ||
| I'm going to make a little announcement here at the end of the show today. | ||
| It's kind of a funny thing that's been trending lately that we're going to have a little fun with, potentially. | ||
| Let's look at this. | ||
| So there's no doubt. | ||
| We have to be the rational ones here, okay? | ||
| We have the high IQs. | ||
| We have the rational minds. | ||
| We have the logic. And so let's remember that. | ||
| And let's not fall prey to the tail wagging the dog. | ||
| What am I talking about? | ||
| I mean, just be honest. | ||
| This is one of the hottest summers you've probably ever experienced. | ||
| For me, definitely. I will definitely remember, and we're not even all the way through it, this summer has been crazy hot. | ||
| Now, I actually like the heat, so I'm not even complaining, but this is definitely what we've seen here in Austin the last couple weeks is it's crazy hot. | ||
| And there's no doubt this is happening all across the country. | ||
| Now, Again, let's just be rational. | ||
| We're the smart people in the room. | ||
| Let's absorb information and think critically. | ||
| Yes, it is extremely hot. | ||
| And you know what? Maybe there is something going on about this. | ||
|

I'm not throwing my hands in the air saying, man, may climate change, global warming, stop the clouds. | |
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| But let's look at some of these headlines and let's just be rational about this. | ||
| Because I know it's easy to be reactionaries to anything. | ||
| Let's not be reactionaries. | ||
| Let's not be the tail wagging the dog here. | ||
| Just because the liberals freak out and they tell you you driving a car or a cow farting is causing it to be warm, we say, no, it's fine. | ||
| It's normal weather. Hold on a second. | ||
| Now, again, obviously there's propaganda. | ||
| And it's everywhere. And they got this new thing coming out. | ||
| It's called the heat domes. | ||
| You've heard now we have heat domes. | ||
| And so we're apparently in a heat dome here in the southwest. | ||
| It's a heat dome. And then they apparently have them in a heat dome in Africa, too, because, you know, Africa is never hot. | ||
| But they're saying, oh, we've got heat domes everywhere. | ||
| We've got these sprawling heat domes. | ||
| All across the planet, it's a sprawling heat dome. | ||
| And they show you these maps, and they make it look like it's the hottest you've ever seen on a map. | ||
| And so, yes, that is propaganda here with your heat domes. | ||
| Some of the headlines, CNN, is this extreme weather the new normal? | ||
| There's no such thing, some scientists say. | ||
| 39-day heat wave could last into August after smashing 2,300-year-plus records. | ||
| What to know about heat domes? | ||
| NBC Dallas. | ||
| Okay, so aside from the political propaganda about man-made climate change and global warming, let's pause for a second. | ||
| Let's accept the potential that we might actually be experiencing something extreme as far as these heat waves are concerned. | ||
| And let's just ground ourselves in this and say, huh, maybe something is going on with this. | ||
| Forget about the political propaganda of man-made climate change and just say, wait a second. | ||
| Maybe there is something going on with this. | ||
| Maybe we are experiencing an extreme heat anomaly event here, and maybe there is something going on. | ||
| Because let's not forget, our government manipulates the weather. | ||
| So does Russia. | ||
| So does China. This is all open source information. | ||
| They have a whole department right here in Texas. | ||
| It's the Texas Weather Modification Program. | ||
| I'm sure they've got a webpage you can plug it in right now. | ||
| Search Texas Weather Modification. | ||
| They've got a whole thing. | ||
| I've literally gone to their hearings. | ||
| I've interviewed the scientists. | ||
| I've interviewed the pilots. | ||
| So they do run weather modification. | ||
| So is it that out of the realm of possibility that the psychotics that run our planet might be manipulating the weather to make it extreme to convince you that it is man-made climate change or global warming? | ||
| I think we need to be very, very cautious about not just discounting potential extreme weather events, either we're experiencing now or will in the future, that this might actually be weather weapons used against the people for political reasons. | ||
| And I understand how easy it is to discount all of this because we know they have an agenda behind the man-made climate change. | ||
| Lies and propaganda, but now let's hold on. | ||
| They can and do manipulate the weather, okay? | ||
| They just made a virus in a lab and released it to effect a presidential election. | ||
| So let's just be cautious here. | ||
| Before we discount this stuff, let's be cautious and just say, hey, maybe there is some extreme weather happening and maybe it isn't natural. | ||
| And maybe that's because it's being used as a weapon against us. | ||
| I'm just saying, I don't think we should discount this so quickly. | ||
| Man, oh man, we've got so much here. | ||
| How about this quickly? | ||
| RFK Jr., how can he not like the guy? | ||
| He's just so relatable. He goes to Bass Pro Shops by himself and just tells you how much he likes fish in clip 16. | ||

Hey, guys. Well, if you want to know what heaven and earth looks like, it's where I am right now. | |
| This here is an alligator gar. | ||
| It's about almost six feet long. | ||
| And this whole pond is filled with gar and pike. | ||
| You can see them all there, giant gar and pike. | ||
| And right next door, we have another one filled with bullhead and catfish. | ||
| And there's another one for trout, another one for largemouth bass. | ||
| This above me, you can see this pyramid. | ||
| I am in Bass Pro Shops World Headquarters here in Memphis. | ||
| This is my idea of heaven because I love gear. | ||
| I really want to find where all the Rapala's are because that's my favorite lure. | ||
| Look at all these fishing rods. | ||
| This is Lake Paradise. | ||
| Here's the Rapala section. | ||
| Anyway... It is. | ||
| That makes me happy. | ||
| You know, if and when Trump wins, I think RFK Jr. | ||
| should be like the head of the Parks Department or like Nature Conservatism or something like that. | ||
| Really, he should. But let's also keep in mind, Tulsi Gabbard just floated out a potential presidential run. | ||
| RFK Jr. could split from the Democrat Party. | ||
| Do you realize that would destroy the Democrats' chances in 2024? | ||
| They'd be shot, folks. | ||
| If RFK or Tulsi Gabbard or, say, both of them decided to go third party, you would fracture the Democrat Party votes. | ||
| They'd have no chance of winning. So we'll monitor that as well. | ||
| I'm going to have to cover the rest of this news. | ||
| I'm going to have to hold this over for tomorrow. | ||
| But, you know, it's funny for Elon Musk... | ||
| He says this this morning. | ||
| Important for companies to sign up to fight impersonation and false organizational affiliation, except for some people. | ||
| Now, he didn't say that. I'm saying that. | ||
| But it is funny, because every time he says stuff like this, like, Elon, just be honest. | ||

You don't mean for everybody. | |
| I'm not sure there's an individual who gets impersonated more or worse than yours truly on Twitter, and I still can't get my account back. | ||
| But here's the announcement and the goofy news I have for you right now. | ||
| Speaking of social media accounts. | ||
| So there is a trend. | ||
| You may have seen this. | ||
| Where it's... I've seen... | ||
| It seems like young women are the ones that do this. | ||
| I don't know. But those are the ones going viral. | ||
| Where there's this TikTok phenomenon where these girls sit on a live stream on TikTok and you feed them digital food. | ||
| You may have seen this. | ||
| And they sit there and they pretend like they're eating it or there's all these different emojis and then they have this response. | ||
| It's been these viral videos. | ||
| They're getting hundreds of thousands and millions of views. | ||
| So... I decided the bizarre TikTok NPC livestream trend where creators act like robots explain. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know what it's called. | ||
| But if I get a thousand, I just started a new TikTok account. | ||
| If I get a thousand followers on my TikTok account, all I do is, Owen, I will do a livestream where I pretend to eat digital food and be an NPC. And naturally, I'm going to be the best at it. | ||
| So, let's just say I got a little something planned, but if there's no interest there, I'm not going to waste my time. | ||
| If you want to see me turn into a digital NPC and pretend to eat digital food and have some fun with me in that regard, go follow me on TikTok at All I Do Is Owen. | ||
| If I get a thousand followers... | ||
| I'm gonna make you laugh, I guarantee it. | ||
| That does it for the InfoWars War Room. | ||
| We'll see you tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Big day today again. Iodine is naturally acquired through the soil, which is at the foundation of our entire food supply. | ||
| Modern farming techniques have stripped the soil of this essential trace element, which has caused an iodine deficiency in about half the population. | ||
| And there are two things we need to do about it. | ||
| We need to practice more regenerative farming. | ||
| There are plenty of proven technologies in permaculture and biodynamics that will naturally keep the soil rich with iodine. | ||
| And we need to ensure that we get the sufficient amount of iodine every day. | ||
| Derived from ancient sea salts found thousands of feet below the Earth's surface, our InfoWars Life Survival Shield X3 is hands down the best. | ||
| Pure nascent iodine, stabilized in an activated tri-iodine form. | ||

| Humanity is in a very dangerous position right now. | ||
| Powerful corporations using military-grade psychological warfare programs are rolling out a biomedical tyranny worldwide. | ||
| A world ID, a cashless society, a social credit score, a universal basic income, Where every facet of your life is tracked, surveilled, and controlled. | ||
| If you think the censorship and surveillance you've seen so far by the deep state and big tech was bad, that is just the opening salvo of their attack. | ||
| Humanity and all of our hard-fought liberties and freedoms and all of our safeguards are literally on the edge of a cliff. | ||
| But without Infowars on the air, The general public is not going to be aware of the enemy operations. | ||
| We didn't just tell you about this whole poison shot rollout first three years ago on record. | ||
| We're also telling you what's coming next. | ||
| We track the enemy. They're preparing new bioweapon releases and new poison mRNA frankenshots. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, my family, your family is at the edge of a cliff. | ||
| Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, the UN, the WHO is literally pushing us over into that cashless society hell grid, into that biomedical tyranny that will be even worse than what you see in communist China that is the current main laboratory of this control. | ||
| We have to first recognize there is a cliff. | ||
| We have to recognize that millions of people have been forced into these deadly shots and pushed over the cliff and died. | ||
| Tens of millions more are sick and dying from these poisoned shots. | ||
| Every one of you watching knows someone who took the shot and died or who became deathly ill. | ||
| And their own documents show they know this is deadly. | ||
| And what do they do? They push and push and push and say, well, it's up to you, but we'll take your rights and freedoms away if you don't take it. | ||
| Stand up to the tyrants that think they own your body, that they own my body. |
