	All right, news roundup information overload hour 800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
	Listen, we got a lot of ground to cover.
	I know we've been so wrapped up in what's going on in the Middle East and Israel and this horrific terrorist attack and the aftermath thereof and the insanity of the left in America and worldwide and the virulent anti-Semitism.
	Uh, we have not stopped in any way, shape, manner, or form our investigation into what is going on with the Biden family syndicate.
	And as a matter of fact, we keep going into you know more and more detail.
	Uh one of the issues that has come up, and I had James Comer on Hannity last week, was their investigators have revealed that Joe Biden received a $200,000 check from his brother in 2018 on the same exact day that his brother James got the same exact amount from a failing health care firm.
	Now these coincidences happen quite often for the Biden family.
	Like the day the money was wired, I believe, from a Kazakhstan oligarch to Hunter Biden.
	It just happened to be the exact figure within the penny of the brand new sports car he was buying, I believe a Porsche at the time.
	Now it says in the corner, uh loan repayment.
	Okay, if it's a loan repayment, can you produce the paperwork that shows when the loan was actually given?
	And how did Joe Biden, again, who often talked about being one of the poorest members in the Senate, you know, have his beach house, his Corvette Stingray, uh, multiple other residences, uh, and then the ability to give out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans.
	You know, where was he making all that money from?
	A lot of people think that the bribery statute has to do with, you know, somehow benefiting actions taken by any elected official, in this case a vice president, that would benefit the vice president directly.
	That that has nothing to do with the bribery statute.
	If it benefits anybody in your family or anybody you are close to, you that that does meet the criteria for what the bribery statute is.
	However, if in fact this money was a payment to Joe, uh that was not uh related in any way to a loan repayment.
	Well, that'd be a problem.
	Here's James Comer House uh Oversight Committee when I was interviewing him.
	A document that we're releasing today raises new questions about how President Biden personally benefited from his family's shady influence peddling of his last name and their access to him.
	Bank records obtained by the House Committee on Oversight have revealed a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sarah Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check.
	Here's some important context about this check we've obtained in our investigation.
	In 2018, James Biden received $600,000 in loans from AmeriCorps, a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator.
	According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden received these loans, quote, based upon representations that his last name, Biden, could open doors and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections, end quote.
	On March 1st, 2018, AmeriCorps wired a 200,000 loan into James and Sarah Biden's personal bank account, not their business bank account.
	And then on the very same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden.
	James Biden wrote this check to Joe Biden as a quote, loan repayment.
	America, a distressed company, loaned money to James Biden, who then sent it to Joe Biden.
	Even if this was a personal loan repayment, it's still troubling that Joe Biden's ability to be paid back by his brother depended on the success of his family's shady financial dealings.
	Well, uh, the person that has been in the forefront of breaking almost every one of these stories is investigative reporter and uh uh also the CEO of JustHnews.com and the editor in chief as well, the one and only John Solomon is with us.
	Sir, how are you?
	I'm well, Sean, good to be with you.
	Now, if it says loan repayment from Brother James to Joe Biden in a $200,000 payment, first of all, $200,000 is a lot of money, especially for a guy that during his years as a senator complained bitterly that he was the poorest senator in Washington that also has a beachfront home that also has a stingray Corvette that also owns other property.
	Uh seems like that's an awful lot of money for him to have laying around to just lend to his brother.
	But I would imagine it's quite simple and easy to get to the date and and have the paperwork that would that would prove that Joe Biden actually lent his brother two hundred thousand dollars.
	Have they been able to find or follow the path of that money and and do we have a date when they actually lent the money?
	We do not, and that is a big mystery.
	And let's keep in mind that sometimes the term loan and the term gift have been intercommingled with uh Hunter Biden.
	Hunter Biden listed a lot of things as loans, including money from Briesma that actually was nothing more than a direct payment.
	So there is a pattern in the Biden family of calling something a loan when in fact it was something other than that, it was regular income.
	And so we're waiting to see uh if the can Congress can get those records.
	It's clear now they're going to need to request records from President Joe Biden.
	They've uh previously uh issued subpoenas for James Biden and Hunter Biden.
	I'm sorry, uh document requests that will eventually be backed up with subpoenas.
	But uh uh it's clear now we're gonna need records from the president himself because these loans, there's not any loans that show up as uh on any of his financial disclosure forms when he was vice president in 16 or when he began now, wouldn't that be something that needs to show up on a financial disclosure form?
	Theoretically, if it was uh a debt owed to him or money owed to him, uh or uh a business interest, it could very well be uh uh something required to be on there.
	It also doesn't show up in any of his taxes.
	So we don't know yet.
	Uh uh we are endeavoring to get answers from the White House thus far, they don't want to talk about it.
	But there is a paper trail that if there is a loan, we're gonna know about and where did Joe Biden come up with 200,000 to give a loan?
	Uh and if there isn't a a loan, then I think this gets into that question that uh we saw with uh Hunter Biden, which was Hunter Biden was calling certain payments loans and when in fact they were uh clearly income, and that was what at the heart of what the whistleblowers brought to our attention and what was going to be the criminal charges against Hunter Biden on the tax case.
	So uh a lot to be learned, but this is the very first evidence of uh uh Joe Biden getting money directly from one of the two main business uh uh drivers of his family business, right?
	James Biden and Hunter Biden are the guys that were making all that money.
	And this is the first clear evidence that something comes into James Biden's account and on the very same day it comes in, it goes right back out to Joe Biden.
	A very significant new development for for this investigation.
	But if we if we go to where I think the most evidence lies as of now, and that is the deal with Parisma, the oil and gas giant out of Ukraine, and Joe Biden leveraging a billion taxpayer dollars, uh, even though it is official Obama administration policy,
	that that their belief was that Ukraine had made sufficient improvements in terms of corruption issues, therefore the billion in loan guarantees became their official policy because as a result of the decision to leverage a billion dollars, give the Ukrainian six hours to fire a prosecutor.
	One of the results of that is his son who admitted he had no experience in energy oil gas of Ukraine, continue to get paid.
	Uh, wouldn't that fit the bribery definition as well?
	Certainly that is something that Republicans believe uh could have and should have been made, right?
	That Money directly going to the son to secure a decision from his father would constitute uh a bribe.
	It doesn't have to go to the politician if it goes to a close family member.
	It can still meet the definition of bribery according to several legal experts we talked to, but also uh it really is the operational theory right now that the uh uh that the House Comra uh Oversight Committee and the impeachment inquiry has.
	It's also the theory that was at the heart of the FBI um uh a confidential informant, the source, who who came forward and said, Hey, there was a five million payment to Hunter and a five million payment to Joe, and that ten million was supposed to buy them uh getting out of any problems at Barismo for these uh investigations.
	So the FBI had that theory all the way back in 2020.
	Congress has that theory right now.
	What is clear is that what Joe Biden told us to secure the presidency in 2019 and 2020 is no longer true.
	Large parts of his story have been completely debunked.
	Large parts of the impeachment witnesses who testified against President Trump and the Ukraine impeachment in 2019 and 2020.
	Their stories have also now been debunked or directly contradicted by evidence that has emerged years later.
	The American public were was not and has not been giving an honest account from Joe Biden and his defenders.
	You see, we keep hearing from the media, there's no evidence, no evidence, no evidence, but I think there's a ton of evidence out there.
	For example, if you look at the very real Hunter Biden laptop, and so they were pre-bunking the entire story and then wouldn't confirm what they knew to be true, which was that the laptop was real.
	Would you call that election interference?
	I think a lot of people do now.
	We look back not only at the laptop, but also all that we were told not to believe in 2019 about 2020.
	Just think about this.
	In the height of the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden flatly stated, this is a direct quote from him, uh, that he uh never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do.
	Anyone else for that matter uh about anything involving the foreign business deals.
	Yeah, just think about this.
	If he had a loan with his brother with his brother about this business, or he wouldn't have had a loan.
	So even their current explanation for the $200,000 payment directly contradicts the the very sweeping assertions that Joe Biden, his campaign and his family made to the American people.
	The most compelling evidence we have is that Joe Biden lied to get into office.
	He repeatedly told us mistruths.
	He said his family to get money from China.
	They did.
	He said he never talked to his son's business partners.
	He's meeting with him at the Naval Observatory at the White House, uh at uh Cafe Milano.
	There are just such substantial lies that Joe Biden now has been proven to have said during the 2020 campaign to get his job that you have to wonder what else they're hiding.
	And I think this the the search for the loan document.
	If there's not a loan document uh to back up Joe Biden's uh money payment from uh James Biden, there's going to be some very serious consequences.
	Congress clearly accelerating ahead on that front.
	All right, quick break more with John Solomon, editor-in-chief, founder and investigative reporter, JustHnews.com.

	We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
	So Dell, a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.com, uh also its founder and investigative reporter.
	Let me ask you one other thing, because there are the the laptop from Hell itself implicates Joe Biden on the issue of money numerous times.
	Uh uh Hunter Biden complaining bitterly to his sister about having giving having to give half his income to Pops.
	Uh then we have extensive email conversations with Eric Sherwin, correct me if I'm wrong, that had to do with direct payments about what account they ought to take the money out of to pay for Joe Biden's home repairs.
	Uh then, of course, there's the Tony Bobolinsky angle, which is ten percent for the big guy held by Hunter.
	Uh sounds like that it sounds like Hunter himself is implicating his own father as being paid and the beneficiary of these policies and with full knowledge of of everything that was going on, and I'm not even talking about the fact that he got on all these phone calls with all these foreign business partners or the dinners with like Russian oligarchs at Cafe Milano.
	Yeah, the the finances of Joe and Hunter and the finances now of James and Joe were all intermingled, and I think that's going to raise questions about taxes going forward, including the president's portrayal of his taxes.
	Uh, remember there's also a moment on the laptop where uh Eric Schwerin writes Hunter, your dad's gonna sign over, meaning Joe Biden is gonna sign over his Delaware tax refund because he owes you so much money.
	Wait a second, why did Joe Biden owe his son money?
	Uh these are all questions now that are sitting front and center.
	We were all deprived of the opportunity to ask these questions seriously uh or confront the president of them because we were told at the time they were conspiracy theories.
	Now they are very, very uh important questions, and there is overwhelming proof.
	Anyone, whenever you hear this term, there's no proof in the news meeting, you can just throw it out the window just like it was Russian disinformation claims, because there is substantial proof that Joe Biden commingled his finances with his brother and his son as they were making money overseas, and he facilitated their ability to make money uh by meeting with their partners.
	And I think that now there is overwhelming, uh incontrovertible evidence, and anyone who suggests otherwise, well, now they're involved in the game of disinformation.
	Uh John Solomon, amazing work as usual.
	And uh, I think it now, how many stories do we expect that have been gonna be coming in days in the in the coming days we expect more revelations?
	Is that a fair way to put it?
	I do.
	Yes, I think we're gonna learn more about how Hunter Biden has been living the last few years, who's been underwriting his lifestyle into what size and under what arrangements.
	That's going to be one very important thing.
	The whistleblowers are about to turn over some new documents to houseways and means.
	There was supposed to be a hearing tomorrow.
	That got kicked a few weeks because of the speaker drama.
	But there are bombshell new revelations going to be coming out on a daily basis, and I think on another front, another story that we should keep a close eye on.
	I hope to break some news on this in the next couple of days.
	Uh a much larger operation by the Justice Department to spy on its critics in Congress.
	Remember, we broke the story last summer of Cash Patel having his phone records taken when he was at the House Intelligence Committee, just found out about it.
	Many other staffers in Congress are now learning they too were being monitored by the Justice Department, by the FBI while they were doing oversight work.
	We may have a major congressional spy scandal.
	Uh John Solomon, editor-in-chief and uh founder and investigative reporter, JustHnews.com.
	Thank you, sir.

	Bill Maher, I think, makes some very interesting comments uh sometimes on his show that I find really interesting.
	And I like this comment about don't go to an elite college like Harvard.
	It makes you stupid.
	I was glad he said it.
	I don't like everything he says here, but just that line in particular is worth worth the price of admission.
	Listen.
	And finally, New Rule as an Ivy League graduate who knows the value of a liberal education.
	I have one piece of advice for the youth of America.
	Don't go to college.
	And if you absolutely have to go, don't go to an elite college.
	Because as recent events have shown, it just makes you stupid.
	There are few, if any, positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them is opening America's eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas, among them the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place where everyone is either an oppressor or oppressed.
	In the case of Israel, oppressors being babies and boobas.
	The same students who will tell you that words are violence and silence is violence, were very supportive when Hamas terrorists went on a rape and murder rampage worthy of the Vikings.
	They knew where to point the fingers at the murdered, and then it was off to ethics class.
	Don't go to an elite college like Harvard.
	It makes you stupid.
	Think about that.
	Well, but the fact that this administration at Harvard, wow, by the way, they've yet to accept us uh or take us up on our offer.
	I was gonna offer to host a debate with Alan Dershowitz and Cornell West, both Harvard professors, and have a debate on the 31 student groups that condemned Israel and blamed Israel and Israel alone for the terrorist attack on October the 7th.
	Why won't they allow that free and open exchange of ideas on that college campus?
	Now I said and predicted at the time they're not going to want to get back to us.
	They don't want that debate on campus.
	And even if if they said yes, why do I think that these little, you know, spoiled Ivy League brats would probably do everything in their power to disrupt that debate.
	I'm willing to take the chance.
	I'm willing to bring my cameras up.
	I'm willing to bring my full TV crew up.
	And both Professor West and Professor Dershowitz are willing to debate.
	And I think this is exactly the kind of debate that should be happening in college campuses all around the country.
	I'll I'll be glad to take the my time out of my day and go up there, do it for free, offer, you know, get the biggest route, b the biggest facility they have, invite as many people as possible, and see, you know, and get to hear varying points of view about what how ignorant some of these kids at Havid are.
	I don't think it's gonna happen.
	All right, eight hundred nine four one Sean, our number you want to be a part of the program.
	Marty in Texas, Marty, the free state of Texas.
	What's going on, sir?
	Well, first of all, thanks for taking my call.
	Um, but I want to make this understood.
	I do not speak for any religion, I do not speak for any organization, just myself.
	And I'd like to address the fact that this war in Israel is not about Israel, it's of an attack on Jews from Iran and Russia to Great Britain and the United States.
	I understood, but I I've not seen Putin's fingerprints directly on this, but I have been warning about the new axis of evil, which is Russia, Iran, and China.
	Uh however, I do believe that that most of the fingerprints are on Iran.
	They have they have been saying for a long time now they want to destroy Israel and they want to destroy the United States.
	Death to Israel, death to America.
	That's half of it.
	They are calling Jews the great devils, the Zionist great devils.
	Islam speaks with one voice and one tongue and it comes straight out of Tehran.
	You're quoting the Quran, which which I said Turan Tehran, meaning okay, understood.
	No, listen, if you're asking me or if you're observing that there is, you know, this virulent anti-Semitism and hatred of the Jewish people, uh, yeah, you're a hundred percent accurate, and I think it runs much deeper than any of us knew.
	And it's also not just the United States, it's worldwide.
	Do you ever think in our lifetime you'd hear a large group of people chanting gas the Jews, F the Jews?
	Forbid.
	Did you ever think you'd hear that in your lifetime?
	I didn't think I would.
	I want to say a couple of more things, and then I will hang up and let you respond.
	Um the Jewish people in America and the world have to quit thinking of the Holocaust victims or deaths as victims.
	Those were heroes.
	They suffered and they died for the Jewish faith, and they are the r they are the ones that are responsible for the state of Israel.
	Say that again.
	You're saying the the victims of the Holocaust?
	No, they were not victims.
	They were heroes.
	Those poor people died in gas chambers so that the rest of us could live free.
	I I I I can't agree with all of your statement.
	I can't agree with the fact that they're I I I they were victims.
	They were m innocently murdered human beings.
	So they were victims.
	They never ever should have been treated the way they were treating treated in the lead up to these death camps, and they should not have been murdered and slaughtered.
	That should they that makes them an innocent victim.
	Out the Holocaust.
	I'm sorry?
	Well, the would there be an Israel, would there be a safe haven for Jews if there were not a Holocaust?
	I'm not saying that there wasn't courage um in a lot of fronts, people that risk their lives.
	Of course.
	You know, and I rem remember Liam Nees Neeson who played the lead role of Schindler in that movie, you know, and he he just kept saying if I if I could only if I only had this much more, I could have saved one more life.
	I could have saved one more life.
	And he was a hero and courageous, and the and there were others that were heroes and courageous that saved lives, and that there were people that were not Jewish that that hid innocent Jews to protect them from dying.
	And they did it at great peril to themselves.
	They put their own lives in jeopardy.
	That that was heroism.
	That was the human spirit at its best to protect fellow innocent human beings, but they were slaughtered, they were murdered, they were victims.
	And and one of the worst slaughters in American not American in world history.
	And I've tried to make this point.
	This is all rooted in evil.
	It's very hard for good people to wrap their minds around evil.
	Evil exists.
	And I I wrote a whole book about this, and I talk at length about the evil of Nazi Germany in this book.
	And you know, but did they were there people that gave up their own lives to protect others?
	There were plenty, many of names, many names we'll never know.
	Maybe when we get to heaven one day, we'll meet the real the real saints in life, the real heroes in life.
	There's a there's a phrase in the Bible, greater love had no man than to lay down his life for another.
	And I believe that that happened then.
	That was courageous.
	I I am so grateful for the people who sacrificed for the Jewish people in Europe, it's unbelievable.
	But I also believe that to put the word victim on the Jews is a disservice.
	These people wanted to live and they sacrificed themselves.
	Look, you're entitled to your opinion.
	We're going around in circle.
	I am telling you, if you take an innocent person and you slaughter them, that person is a victim by definition.
	But you know, I d I I you made your point.
	I just I just cannot agree with that point.
	And it should have never happened.
	And that's what is so chilling about the rhetoric that we are hearing worldwide today.
	Because in the lead up to those death camps, there was a dehumanization campaign, propaganda campaign, uh no Jews allowed, caricatures, false narratives, uh that were made about the Jewish people.
	They dehumanize them.
	And that led to this belief that, well, they weren't really human and and therefore they have to be exterminated.
	And it's if you look at the last century alone, it's hard to wrap wrap your mind around this.
	Imagine a hundred million plus people in the last century alone, when you include Mao, China, Stalin, Russia, the killing fields, Cambodia, Pop Pot, if you include the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, Mussolini, fascism, you're talking about evil at a scale that you think is unimaginable.
	Now, you can look at it at a micro level.
	What do you say about somebody that would walk into a school full of children that are unarmed in the middle of a school day and just start slaughtering them?
	They are victims, and that is evil.
	What do you say about some sick psychopath that you know walks up behind an 80-year-old lady in the streets of New York and just bludgeons that person?
	What do you say about somebody that will push an innocent person waiting for a subway into an oncoming train?
	What do you say about a human being that would rape a young innocent child?
	You know, the only word that comes to mind to me is evil.
	And what happened in all of these instances were over a hundred million people in that century, you know, was were slaughtered in the name of some sick, twisted ideology.
	I call it evil.
	You know, there's a line in Michael W. Smith's song, uh, and there she stands.
	We play it every 9-11.
	And there's a line in there.
	When evil calls itself a martyr, the people that are indoctrinated into a twisted version of Islam, and they are radicalized, and they they truly believe, you know, when they say Allu Akbar is they're about to plow a plane into the Twin Towers,
	and they're about to kill innocent men, women, and children, and they they they think they've been brainwashed into believing that they're going straight to heaven, and they're going to be rewarded with 72 virgins.
	Well, I think that is a straight pathway, my view, to hell.
	Because if if this if you don't have a conscience and a soul And a heart.
	If you have those things, you cannot permit, you cannot commit these acts.
	As imperfect as every human being is, all have fallen short of the glory of God.
	I'm as guilty as the next one.
	But evil on that level, the people, you know, what would it take for a human being to not only kill an infant, but then to decapitate the infant.
	What would it take to decapitate anybody?
	You know, look, I recommend people watch it.
	However, if you take my advice and you watch videos of either ISIS or any of the videos that have come out of Israel, uh, and you see the images of these beheaded babies or these charred babies that have been burnt alive, you know, you you're you are looking at human evil.
	It exists.
	It's why good people for evil to succeed, for good people to do nothing.
	We have to confront it, and there's really only one answer to it.
	You have to defeat evil.
	And the resolve has got to be for the good people on this earth to defeat evil.
	When I say this is an axis of evil, China, Russia, Iran, I uh I'm those are not words to me.
	Because they don't have the world's intention.
	Vladimir Putin has slaughtered how many in Ukraine?
	Sovereign, innocent country, and he's just wiped out entire apartment buildings, neighborhoods, indiscriminate bombing.
	That's evil in our time.
	You know, look at how the Uyghur population is treated in China.
	That would be evil in our time.
	And there's so much evil, even in our own country, and you wonder how does it exist.
	I wish it weren't the case.
	That's why, and I'll wrap up with this.
	America needs the meanest, toughest, kick-ass military that nobody would ever dare mess with, so that we can be the shining light, shining city on a hill, and defeat evil.
	All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
