Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz, and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media, and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, our two Sean Hannity show toll-free on numbers 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I mean, this was just an unmitigated disaster as we've been playing for you in the last hour.
You know, Biden ending his rambling 26-minute international press conference in Vietnam Sunday.
You know, I'm going to bed.
I'll tell you what, I'm about to go to bed now.
I'm going to bed.
Joking, you know, during just an incomprehensible, you know, rambling riff trying to respond to a question about why he hasn't spoken to Chinese leader President Xi.
And he's in Hanoi following this multi-day, you know, Group of 20 summit in New Delhi in India.
And when he was asked in the absence of President Xi and Russia, President Putin, I just follow my orders here.
Staff, is there anybody that hasn't spoken yet?
I ain't calling on you, he says at another point.
And then dusted off some of the old classics.
It's so humiliating.
It is now so beyond embarrassing.
Good evening, Vietnam.
I don't want to contain China.
What do you mean you don't want to contain China?
You have no problem with their territorial ambitions threatening our fighter jets in international airspace and our Navy in international waters and flying their fighter jets over Taiwan airspace.
And you don't want to contain that?
You know, lying again, claiming he spent more time with the Chinese President Xi than any other world leader has.
Talking about, you know, of course, everything comes down to global warming.
The only existential threat more frightening than nuclear war is global warming.
Calls climate deniers.
He brings out the oldie but goodie, lying dogface pony soldiers.
Wants to build a railroad all the way to across the African continent.
Finishes a question.
I'm going to bed now.
I'm tired.
You know, then gets cut off at the end by his staff, White House staff abruptly ending the rambling Vietnam press conference, mid-sentence, and cut his mic off.
I mean, it just can't get any worse than this.
So when you think it can't get any worse, it's worse.
Well, Hannity was on the other side of the world.
Well, I was on the other side of the world too, broadcasting from Vietnam, broadcasting from Singapore.
Yeah, I would do my TV show at 9 in the morning.
9 in the morning.
We do the radio.
Remember, Linda?
3 a.m.
We were up doing this radio program live.
I sure do.
And, you know, and guess what?
I didn't have any excuses for being tired.
Didn't want to, I wouldn't make one.
And didn't say lying dog-faced pony soldier either.
Anyway, it just, the one thing that there is consensus on now, and I think we're beginning to hear more and more, you know, from people like David Axelrod, others, while you still are going to have the die-hard people that will defend Joe at any and all costs.
Last week was pretty profound when you had Van Jones, David Axelrod, James Carville, all criticizing Joe Biden.
Those are three powerful voices within the Democratic politic, if you will, or the punditry class at least.
And I think now we're beginning to see, oh, they're paying a little attention to this bribery and money laundering scandal allegations that Hannity's been hammering hard day in and day out because the evidence is so overwhelming.
Anyway, one of the problems is when you have any type of cognitive decline, it never that I know of in any case I've heard of, it gets better.
It always is degenerative, and it keeps getting worse.
And I could see a discernible difference from the time that Joe Biden was running when he first got into office and today, and it's downright embarrassing for the country.
Anyway, Congressman and former White House physician, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, is with us.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean.
I'm doing well.
Thank you for having me.
All right.
Look, I don't know what you want to call it, cognitive decline, dementia, Alzheimer's.
I'm not a doctor, nor have I had any opportunity to have anybody that I would trust examine him.
And they're never going to let that happen.
He'll never take a cognitive test like President Trump did.
Do you see that this is getting worse as I do as a medical doctor?
Yeah, absolutely, Sean.
And we don't need to even worry about what we call it anymore.
Let's just call it what it is.
It's a national disaster right now.
You know, and I've told people all along, you know, I don't know if it's Alzheimer's, if it's Parkinson's, if it's multi-NFARG dementia.
It doesn't really matter at this point.
Significant cognitive decline that's related to his age.
And I went back the other day.
I was just looking at something from when he was running for president in 2019.
I was watching a video clip, and there is a marked, like an unbelievable difference between him then and now.
He has declined excessively, I mean, extensively.
And, you know, you're right, Sean, that it doesn't matter which one it is, what kind of cognitive decline it is.
The natural history of all of these illnesses is that they get worse with time, not better.
None of them get better.
And the other thing is that they can treat him with medications, and I'm sure they're doing this.
There's medications out there that they can try to treat this with to increase his alertness and, you know, maybe make him just a little bit more cognitively intact.
But all of those medications, the same thing happens is they work initially and then they stop working after a while and then they don't work at all anymore.
So they can only cover this up for so long.
And they know this.
That's what the Democrats, that's why they're in such a spot right now because they're starting to realize, you talked about David Oxelrod and everybody else that's chiming in right now.
They're starting to realize they've got a significant problem here.
They have a man that cannot successfully win another presidency.
I mean, I don't care who runs against this guy.
I mean, most people are not going to vote for him again because he's an absolute disaster.
And, you know, Donald Trump is absolutely going to crush him if he runs against me.
And so they're looking at this and they're thinking, how are we going to get out of this?
And I've said before, I don't think he or Joe Biden or anybody else in the West Wing whose job depends on him being there is going to voluntarily try to talk him into leaving voluntarily.
I think that what they're going to do is what you've alluded to is they're going to let some of this Hunter Biden stuff just kind of blow up and get him in a position politically where he just he can't run again.
And he's going to say, well, I'm going to finish this term out because they do not want Kamala Harris to take over.
And he's going to be in a position where he can say, I can justifiably finish this term out, but I've got too much on my plate and there's too many issues here.
I'm not going to run again.
I mean, I think that's what they're hoping for right now.
This man's an absolute disaster.
He's an embarrassment overseas.
Now, they won't release, and they say they don't even have the visitor logs of who he's meeting with at Camp David and at his home over weekends.
You mentioned earlier treatments.
What I strongly suspect, and I have no basis other than I think he needs help.
But why would I suspect that there might be medical professionals behind the scenes that are privately dealing with this?
If that's true, and again, it's just an educated guess on my part.
If that's true, what kind of treatments could he be getting that we don't know about?
Well, Sean, I spent 14 years at the White House, as you well know, for three different administrations.
I know exactly how that whole process works.
And your suspicions are absolutely right.
I can almost guarantee you that he is being seen by medical providers.
And that's part of, they'll do some of it in Delaware when he goes to his place in Delaware, goes to the beach.
They'll take advantage of that time because it's easier to get people in and out.
But they're bringing these people in and out.
They're marketing them as so that they don't disclose the visit.
And they can do that on the visitors log in the White House.
And they can certainly do that when he's his private resident.
And so, yeah, he's being evaluated.
Well, they just outright claim they don't have them and they don't have a list.
Yeah.
Well, they, you know, in some cases, they don't keep the list because they don't want to have to admit that, you know, that people came up there.
That's part of the process.
And so, you know, I think that he's got people coming up.
They're following him.
You know, his primary care physician.
I know the guy personally.
He's not a good doctor.
He's a bit of a moron.
So he's not going to be able to take care of this himself.
But he's got these professionals coming up there, these sub-specialists.
And I don't know what they're giving him.
There's certain types of acetylcholinesterase-type drugs that you can use to treat Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
You can use Provigil.
You can use methamphetamine to increase stimulation.
You can use a variety of things.
So I don't know exactly what they're getting.
Wouldn't methamphetamine or, I don't know, Adderall or something to that effect, wouldn't that put him at other physical risk, his heart, for example?
Yeah, I mean, you know, it increases your blood pressure and your heart rate a little bit.
And so it does have some cardio, but you know, if he's healthy from a cardiac standpoint, you know, I mean, older people can still sustain small doses of that.
I don't know.
I'm just speculating.
I don't know that they're doing this.
I don't have any evidence of this, but I'm just, I know for a fact that you can get people up there.
And, you know, you don't, you try to, you know, protect the president's privacy from a patient standpoint to the extent you can.
But, you know, there comes a point where, you know, it's not a privacy issue anymore.
It's a national security issue.
And you have to be straight with the American people.
And you have to come out and you have to actually talk about what's going on.
There's enough concern about his health right now.
He should be encouraging his physician to do exactly what I did, which is get up in the press briefing room and stand before the press and take any and every question that they have.
Give them the objective data that shows that he's okay.
You know, and say, you know, and tell them, you know, right there in front of the cameras whether he is or is not being evaluated by other physicians and whether he is or is not on medications that we don't know about.
But his physician doesn't have the courage to do that.
And part of it is because if he does it, it's going to be really bad for the president because it's not going to be what the White House wants us to all hear.
So, yeah, there's something going on.
Your suspicions are absolutely right, Sean.
So if he got a doctor that is in sync with him ideologically that would be willing to treat him on the QT, that would not shock you or surprise you at all.
Well, it wouldn't shock me or surprise me at all.
And I know his physician that he has right now, he worked for me for a long period of time during the Biden administration, during the Obama administration.
He was Biden's physician for the eight years of the Obama administration when Biden was vice president.
And, you know, I'll be honest with you, there were times I probably should have got rid of him.
I signed his fitness reports.
I signed his evaluations, but I didn't, and I couldn't to some extent because he had such a close personal relationship with the Biden family.
He was part of the Biden family.
I mean, he took care of Hunter.
He took care of President Biden's brother.
He took care of the president and the first lady and the granddaughters.
And so it was just, it was more or less, it wouldn't have been able to get rid of him without the blessing of Biden, and that wasn't going to happen.
And then, of course, my question: you don't need a medical degree to see the decline.
You don't need a medical degree to see that he's weak and he's frail and a cognitive mess, and it seems to be progressing or degressing, whichever term is appropriate, but it just seems to be progressively getting worse.
And it's more obvious every day.
Even people that scoffed at the idea that I said this early on, even now they're beginning to notice and say it.
Yeah, and like I said, you're absolutely right.
It's going to continue to get worse.
And they know this, and that's why I say that they're trying to look ahead and trying to find a way out of this.
And, you know, evidenced by this most recent overseas trip, he's an embarrassment overseas.
He doesn't inspire confidence in our allies, and he certainly doesn't inspire any kind of fear or hesitation among our adversaries.
And he's a window of opportunity for people like She and Putin and people like this, and they're going to take advantage of him.
I saw some stuff the other day, MBS, you know, Saudi Arabia was talking about how he's going to really push hard for the influence that Saudi Arabia has.
And all these people see Biden and they're like, this is our opportunity to get a step up on the United States of America.
And it's all because we have a weak leader.
I mean, a weak head of state, a weak commander-in-chief.
It's just, and today, you know, it's a 9-11 for crying out loud.
You know, look what that led to.
And look at the disaster that he left us when we got out of Afghanistan.
It's horrible.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.

All right, we continue now with Congressman and former White House physician, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, is with us.
I have a hard time understanding why people close to him and around him that see exactly what we see don't come to him and say, Joe, you can't do this anymore.
You know, we can't cover for you anymore.
I mean, when they had his own staff had to cut him off at his own press conference in Hanoi, it really doesn't get any more embarrassing than that.
I mean, they literally cut the mic.
I mean, let me play that moment.
Okay.
It wasn't confrontational at all.
Thank you, everybody.
This ends the Californ press conference.
Thanks, everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And then, of course, he ends it with, I'm going to bed.
And of course he's going to bed because he doesn't have any stamina at all.
I mean, I can imagine he probably passed out.
I don't know.
Maybe they handed him an ambient on the plane so you just pass out the whole way.
Yes, Sean.
I mean, you know, I mean, obviously, you know, if that would happen, you know, with President Trump or President Obama or President Bush, and they would have been that aggressive about cutting him off, they would have got torn up after that.
I mean, that's disrespectful to the president to step in like that and cut him off like that.
They can make, you know, they can't step in and try to tell the press, you know, hey, we're standing down, we're moving on.
But just the way they did it was very, you know, disrespectful, I thought, just to the president.
But it's disrespect.
They went in to save him because it was becoming worse and worse and it was deteriorating by the second.
Yeah, what choice do they have?
And you asked why they continue to do this and they don't talk him out of leaving.
I'm telling you Sean, it's just self-preservation.
Every single one of those people that have a job in the West Wing, no matter what they do, their position relies on him being there.
The day he leaves is the day they leave.
So If he resigns and leaves, they don't have jobs anymore.
They don't work in the White House.
They don't work in the West Wing.
They don't have the power, the authority, the influence that they currently have.
So I think that their goal has always been since day one is to just keep him out of sight, keep him out of sight, out of mind, lock him up somewhere, roll him out as infrequently as possible, and just try to limit his exposure to the American people.
But you can see, I mean, you're going to be president of the United States.
You have to do certain things like this press conference in Vietnam, or this press conference overseas.
And you can see he can't do the simplest things.
They can't keep him.
He can't hold it together for even one event anymore.
I mean, it's really that bad.
I've actually looked at the cognitive test you gave President Trump or a similar one.
I don't know if it was the exact one.
Let me tell you something.
That's a hard test.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, very few people get 30 out of 30 on it, like the president did, to be honest with you.
And yeah, so it's, you know, but it's set up to be a screening test to look for evidence of, you know, cognitive decline in people that are just say over the age of 65 or so.
And we, you know, that's, I think he's even beyond a screening test right now.
I think we all know he has cognitive decline.
I think we need a full-blown cognitive evaluation.
He needs a work of.
Well, the questions get progressively harder.
I don't think you can get past question five, to be honest.
Anyway, Ronnie Jackson, Dr. Jackson, Congressman Jackson, we always appreciate your insight.
Thank you, sir.
Toll-free, our numbers, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we'll get to a lot of your calls today.
The mainstream press talking about this stuff.
Sean Hannity is on the radio.
I-25 to the top of the hour.
Toll-free on numbers, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
Look, ammo is very expensive.
It's in really short supply.
Now, you might not know you can train without ammunition at your own home in the safety of your own home or backyard using the technology, military-grade technology of Mantis X.
And you may also not know that all the best shooters in the world do a majority of their training doing what we call dry fire practice at home.
Now, Mantis X, the firearms training system, is no ammo.
It's an all-electronic way to practice and improve your shooting accuracy.
You simply attach it to your firearm, you connect it to your iPhone, and you're good to go.
And you'll get data-driven, real-time feedback on your technique.
It guides you through drills and courses.
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.
And I kind of got to tip my hat a little bit to Linda.
I mean, she stayed with it.
And I think you actually hit your first 90.
And when you started, you couldn't hit the side of a barn.
I tell you, that software is unbelievable.
The way it tells you how you're moving your shoulder, how you're gripping the bottom of the gun, the way you're holding it, and how all those things can improve you.
It's pretty amazing.
Let me guess the hardest thing for you to learn was to squeeze, not pull the trigger.
Actually, the hardest thing for me was keeping my posture in such a way so I wasn't swinging my shot.
I'm actually shooting at what I'm pointing at, as opposed to like right at the end when I pull the trigger, I would go in the wrong direction every time.
You know what, though?
It fixed it.
That's the beauty of it.
Mantis X used by the Marine Corps, the Army, Special Forces, military-grade technology, but at an affordable price.
That's the best part.
And you're going to have fun using it.
You can use it with your friends, your neighbors.
It's safe and secure.
And anyway, if you're a Second Amendment person like I am, you've got to be competent and confident in your shooting ability.
Anyway, start improving your shooting accuracy.
Just go to mantisx.com, M-A-N-T-I-S-X.com.
You know, here it is, 22 years later.
I remember every detail as though it was yesterday.
9-11-01, 2,977 are of our fellow Americans slaughtered that day.
What a day.
Everybody remembers where they were.
And here's the sad part.
Many don't remember how this happened.
And look at the open borders question.
You know, it's just unbelievable to me.
We'll get into this with Sarah Carter and Tom Holman later in the next hour.
And it's unreal.
Now, the Al-Qaeda V, including the mastermind, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, oh, they're fighting to get a plea deal so he doesn't get the death penalty.
I'm like, no, give him the death penalty.
And those two that are even dying to this day from 9-11-related illnesses, those that were down there in the rescue and recovery efforts down there.
I mean, the lung damage is real and significant for many people.
I know because I know them.
I know many of these people.
And some of them have passed away.
But unfortunately, you know, especially with open borders, it looks like we've forgotten, haven't we?
170 people on our terror watch list that we caught.
Almost 2 million people entering this country because of Joe's open borders.
And we don't have any knowledge of who they are.
We do no background checks on anybody.
And all that's happening is they're creating terror cells within our borders, plotting, planning, scheming the next 9-11.
Have you forgotten?
Americans do not yet have the distance of history, but our responsibility to history is already clear.
To answer these attacks and rid the world of evil.
I hear people say we don't need this war.
We protest this war, and it's not a war, actually, it's a slaughter.
But I say there's some things worth fighting for.
We are very grateful and thankful that we live in a country where there's freedom of speech, that people who are either for or against a war can speak out.
What about our freedom just went black and this piece of ground?
Everything came down.
We didn't get to keep them by backing down.
Glass are popping.
And people got hurt.
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in.
Oh, there it goes.
Here it goes.
Here it goes.
Before you start your preaching, let me ask you this, my friend.
Have you forgotten?
Oh, my God.
The next building is another.
Another plane just flew in.
The explosion is incredible.
Have you forgotten?
I saw this plane come out of nowhere and just scream right into the side of the Twin Tower, exploding through the other side.
There's been an act of war declared upon America by terrorists.
Have you forgotten?
I can hear you.
The rest of the world hears you.
And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us.
Have you forgotten?
Another time is planned.
Have you forgotten?
I'm going to die.
You prove.
The dozens of residents that are sitting on the hills behind the Pentagon almost like they're waiting for the 4th of July fireworks, but instead, they're staring dumbfounded at what looks like a war zone.
I mean, you can see bodies flying out of the sky and you can't do nothing about it.
You tell me.
There's no words to describe what's going on out there.
Have you forgotten?
America's a nation full of good fortune with so much to be grateful for.
But we are not spared from suffering.
In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom.
They have attacked America because we are freedom's home and defender.
Have you forgotten?
And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.
There is Darryl Worley.
Have you forgotten?
Too many people have forgotten.
Huge brouhaha out in the state of New Mexico where their left-wing radical governor out there, Governor Grisham, is now saying that there's no constitutional right is absolute, including the first and second amendments.
Oh, okay.
As now she stopped concealed carry laws and then a lot of people protesting this weekend, and they weren't listening to her mandate.
Listen to the Constitution isn't it unconstitutional to say you cannot exercise your carry license with one exception.
And that is, if there's an emergency and I've declared an emergency for a temporary amount of time, I can invoke additional powers.
No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute.
There are restrictions on free speech.
There are restrictions on my freedoms.
In this emergency, this 11-year-old and all these parents who have lost all these children, they deserve my attention to have the debate about whether or not in an emergency we can create a safer environment.
Because what about their constitutional rights?
I took an oath to uphold those two.
And if we ignore this growing problem without being bold, I've said to every other New Mexican, your rights are subrogated to theirs.
And they are not, in my view.
One last issue, and we'll hit our phones here.
So the head of the teachers' union, Randy Weingarten, I mean, it's unbelievable how much influence they had over COVID policies with the Biden administration.
I mean, it's disgraceful putting the union members, teachers, above kids.
Now she's saying she refuses to say if parents have a right to know.
If your child starts transitioning at school, are you kidding me?
You don't think a parent should be informed of that so that they can be knowledgeable of that?
They're not teachers' kids.
They don't get to keep their little secrets.
Every time I got in trouble in school, which was quite often, actually, I know that surprises you, Linda, right?
Nothing surprises me with regard to Randy Weingarten.
That woman is a menace to society and hasn't the question.
My question was, does it surprise you that I got in trouble, which was quite often?
Oh, I thought you were asking my opinion on Randy Weingarten.
You were always in trouble.
You were skitching, throwing eggs.
I mean, I'm surprised you ever got out of grade school.
I'm surprised I got out of high school.
Anyway, she refuses to say, now they're not the teacher's kids.
Parents should have the right to instill the values they hold near and dear to their heart into their children.
Go back to the basics because they're failing miserably in large part because of what I call this unholy alliance between the teachers' unions and the Democratic Party.
And the Democratic Party just kisses their ass because they want their money.
Listen to this.
Most of the time, I lean to, we have to tell the parent.
But what if you have a situation like this, particularly with trans kids, and they don't know what to do?
And so you, so we have to try to work this through in a way that's in the best interest of kids.
And I'm not saying we get it right all the time.
We don't.
But there's not a bright line here.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
All right.
Quick break.
Right back.
Your phone call is coming up straight ahead.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, every single day, Pre-Born's network of clinics experience 200 miracles.
How?
Well, Pre-Born is offering any expecting woman with an unplanned pregnancy a window into their womb through these free 4D ultrasounds and introducing them to the miracle, the beauty of life that's growing inside of them.
And what they're finding is using the science of 4D ultrasound, that once these expecting moms see what's growing inside them and hear the heartbeat and get to take a look at facial features and count fingers and toes, that the chance of the baby's life coming to fruition, that term coming to fruition, doubles.
And it's only because of the generosity of people like you and me.
Every one of these free ultrasounds is $28, and Pre-Born is having a huge impact by changing people's hearts.
And by the way, a cost of a dinner to save a life.
Anyway, pretty worthwhile investment.
I just got two ultrasound machines to two of their facilities that desperately needed them.
But whatever you can offer, they don't get a penny from the federal government like Planned Parenthood.
But if you want to stand by your belief in the sanctity of life, this is the best way to do it.
And someday, who knows?
You know, God willing, maybe you'll meet that baby that wouldn't have otherwise been born.
People thinking about abortions change their mind.
It's amazing.
Anyway, whatever you want to donate, whatever your best gift can be, there's two ways to do it.
One is by dialing pound250 on your cell phone, saying the keyword baby, pound250 keyword baby, or just go to preborn.com slash Sean.
That's S-E-A-N.
And Linda, they're seeing huge results every day.
They really do.
And that's because, you know, they don't get any money from anybody else but us.
So we have to help these women out and we have to let them know there's another way.

Hannity's on right now.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941-Sean.
Dave, if you want to join us, let's get to Andy is in Detroit in Michigan, a once great city.
What's up, Andy?
How are you?
I know there's revitalization efforts, but when you lose half your population, guess what?
The unions didn't do Detroit a whole heck of a lot of good in the end, did they?
No, they really didn't.
But thanks for taking my call, Sean.
I appreciate it.
You bet.
What's up?
My question for you is, why are you continuing this Hunter and Joe corruption allegation thing?
You continue to use the words allegation, but there has been no evidence since 2019 when Trump was first impeached over this.
It was.
You are dead wrong.
That statement is factually inaccurate.
We have let me back it.
Let me back it up here, Sean, because you said let me back up where you're wrong, because what you're saying is factually false.
Why should I allow you to continue to state false things?
I'll give you the quick shortlist.
We didn't know, for example, Joe had claimed he never spoke to Hunter, his brother, or anybody for that matter about his son or anybody's foreign business deals.
Lie.
We now know from Devin Archer that Joe participated in at least 20 calls that he was aware of with Hunter and his foreign business partners.
We now know that multiple dinners took place with Hunter and oligarchs such as the former first lady of Moscow, $3.5 million from her and then $120 million more invested into their real estate state scam.
We know about shell corporations.
We didn't know about them until the House Oversight Committee got that information.
We didn't know that a total of nine as of now Biden family members were being paid.
We didn't know the extent of it, tens of millions of dollars that Comer's committee has identified up to now.
So for you to say there's not a lot of new that we've learned, you couldn't be more wrong.
But again, none of that has shown any connection to Joe Biden.
There, you're wrong.
False statement number two.
Now I will correct for the record because now we have emails.
The leading finance person with Rosemont Seneca is a guy by the name of Eric Sherwin.
And there are multiple emails back and forth between Hunter on the laptop from hell and Sherwin saying, what account should we pay for dad's bill here and dad's bill there and dad's bill here and dad's bill there?
Then, of course, we have Hunter implicating his own father that he had to give half his income to pops.
Then you got the whole Tony Bobolinski, 10% for the big guy set aside.
Now, that to me would be called evidence.
And you know what?
You're a guy that just doesn't like the fact that everything, can you just admit Joe lied?
Can you start there when he said he'd never talked to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about these foreign business deals?
Can you at least acknowledge that simple truth?
100%.
Yeah, Joe.
Can you get the wrong person to be doing this?
So let me ask you this.
We now know in October of 2015, it was an Obama administration policy to give the billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine because they had made enough progress on corruption.
Okay.
Joe's job, December, what was it?
December 9th of 2015, five days earlier, he spoke with Hunter and Burisma executives that were desperate for DC help is when Joe leveraged $1 billion taxpayer dollars to fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma and his son.
As a result of that, his son benefited financially and his family benefited financially.
Does that sound like a quid pro quo with Joe and company or no?
If I were to accept that as the quid pro quo, then I have to accept that Joe Biden has duped the entire global community.
Excuse me, you're saying that when he leveraged the billion dollars that allowed his son, admittedly a drug addict at the time, admits that he has no experience in Ukraine or energy, and he's being paid millions, and you don't think that's a quid pro quo because of Joe's action.
The investigation stops.
Hunter continues to get paid.
You don't have a problem with that?
Joe did not convince the Republican and Democrat Congress to say, hey, let's.
Excuse me.
Answer my question.
When Joe leveraged a billion and his son continued to be enriched, do you have a problem with that?
Yes, I have a problem with that, but that's not what you're asking.
You're asking.
No, that's the same question I've now asked you four times.
No, that is not the same question you asked.
It is exactly the same.
Linda, you be the arbiter.
Did I ask the same question over and over again?
Well, fair shake.
So the problem is that.
What do you think the question is that he is asking?
What are you saying is different?
Is it a quid pro quo?
No, it is not a quid pro quo.
Okay, so how do you define quid pro quo?
Maybe we need to start there.
Joe Biden was the messenger sent by this.
That was a simple question.
How do you define quid pro quo?
You do something.
This for that, no?
Nice for you.
Let me cut to the chase.
Linda's right.
This for that.
This.
Fire the prosecutor.
They desperately needed fired, and you continue to get paid millions with no experience at a time you're a drug addict.
And you have no problem with that.
Well, that would be influence peddling.
Some people might use the term bribery.
And if we had a justice system that wasn't weaponized and their last name with Trump, trust me, you would be singing this loud every day.
But I appreciate your attempts at trying to cover for their corruption.
