This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour this Friday.
Our toll freight numbers 800, 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we've gone over in some detail the Hunter Biden deposition that was released earlier this afternoon.
And we've learned an awful lot.
It's amazing, you know, that WhatsApp message with the head of CEFC, the Chinese oil conglomerate.
You know, well, what was Hunter's answer?
Well, addiction is not an excuse, but um I'm more embarrassed uh by this text message, meaning I'm sitting here with my father, and uh you didn't fulfill your commitment in between everybody that he knows, my ability to hold the grudge, uh you're gonna regret not uh not cooperating with us, and then magically millions of dollars were transferred to one of their companies.
Wow.
Perfect timing.
Uh there was a time when Hunter, when he went on Good Morning America and that disastrous interview.
I never made money from China, and Joe Biden himself.
Oh, my son never made any money from China, really?
Listen.
The president has repeatedly said that you received one point five billion dollars from China despite no experience and for no apparent reason.
Obviously, fact checkers have said that that is not true.
Look, this is literally has no basis in fact in any way.
Have you received any money from business dealing?
No at all.
Not one cent.
Not one cent.
Definitely not one point five billion.
It's crazy.
They feel like they have the license to go out and say whatever they want.
It feels to me like living in um some kind of Alice in Wonderland, where you're up on the real world and then you fall down the rabbit hole, and you know, the president's the Cheshire Cat asking you questions about crazy things that don't have bear any resemblance to the reality of of uh anything that has to do with me.
And so here's here's the answer.
No one ever paid me one point five billion dollars.
Uh and if they had, um I would not be doing this interview right now.
My son has not made money in terms of this thing about uh what are you talking about?
China.
I have not had the only guy made money from China is this guy.
He's the only one.
Nobody else has made money from China.
Now here's the other interesting part.
He further goes on in this deposition.
My father was not sitting next to me.
My father had no awareness.
My father had no awareness of the business I was doing.
My father never benefited from any of the business that I was doing.
So I take full responsibility being an absolute ass and idiot when I sent this message.
If I did send the message, well, you don't remember.
The fact of the matter is there's no other text message you have which I say anything remotely to this.
And I was out of my mind.
So here's what we're supposed to believe is that he was out of his mind and that he didn't know what he was doing, and that he's a total idiot, but yet he has no he doesn't even know if the text message is real.
We're supposed to believe that, but he knows for sure that his father wasn't sitting next to him.
That's an amazing way that that that addiction excuse, you know, bonanza that they they tried to use before the committees yesterday went over.
Uh just the news.com, our friend John Solomon, who is the founder, uh, editor in chief, investigative reporter.
You know, he was combative in this interview, but he did confirm very key details from the impeachment evidence according to this transcript, and John Solomon joins us now.
How are you, sir?
I am well, good to be with you.
Well, I found that pretty, you know, pretty amazing.
I was out of my mind.
I I I don't even recall.
I don't even know if it's a real text.
However, um I do remember that my father wasn't there.
That I remember.
Uh does that make sense to you?
Because that did that struck me as not making any sense.
Well, listen, nothing that the Bidens have said since the scandal first surfaced in 2019 with my columns at the helm has really made sense, right?
Yeah, of course he fired the prosecutor because it had something to do with his son.
Of course, the laptop was real.
It wasn't Russian disinformation.
Of course, Joe Biden was involved in getting his son involved, or helping his son sell the name to foreign oligarchs and uh enrich the family.
And of course, uh Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's family got money from China, something that James Biden confirmed in his deposition release today.
So uh another version of the rope-dope of trying to uh dance around the truth uh is bar for the Biden family.
The Biden family hasn't told the American people the truth since the first question surfaced in nineteen and hunter biden you know does confirm some things he finally admits something he previously denied that his father attended dinnings with his business clients that's important well he also admitted in fact that the big guy was Joe didn't he?
Oh yeah that's right he did uh and and at the same time claim my father wasn't involved in my business well if he's meeting with your business associates if he's showing up with Chinese officials Russian officials uh Ukrainian officials Kazakhstan officials of course he's involved with your business so uh well wait a minute but the but Joe said over and over again John that as a candidate and as president did he never once ever discussed the foreign business deals of his son his brother or anybody for that matter.
Now if you go to Cafe Milano with Elena Batarina three and a half million went into one of the companies and then another hundred plus million according to Devin Archer into a real estate adventure uh of theirs.
What did they just talk about as Dan Goldman has been suggesting the weather?
Is that what they were talking about?
Dan Goldman may be at a different plan.
I just don't know.
Listen we have testimony from one of the partners saying he said be good to my son.
He was giving them instructions to make sure that the uh future business or current business partners of Hunter Biden knew Joe Biden wanted his son to be taken care of.
That's what we know from testimony.
The only people who don't agree with the evidence in in the uh record is Hunter Biden and James Biden and Joe Biden.
The rest of them have a very consistent story and by the way their testimonies are consistent with contemporaneous emails before anyone knew this was going to become a scandal these things are put down in paper.
And I think one of the most important things, Sean, to do right now is to go up to 30,000 feet for a few seconds, because this story is complicated.
It's got fancy names and tricky names and different things.
And he said, she said.
But there's one irrefutable thing that is now even Hunter Biden doesn't deny it.
While his father was vice president, Hunter Biden and his business partners, including his uncle, targeted America's two largest geopolitical adversaries, China and Russia, President Xi and Vladimir Putin's oligarchs.
they relentlessly pursued them for money to get the family rich uh knowing that their father was in charge of those portfolios.
And as I write today that uh there's a four year effort in Russia in Moscow by Hunter Biden Hunter Biden was so into getting money out of Russia he was thinking of opening a Rosemont Seneca office in Moscow.
He was so into getting money from Russia, he was thinking about creating a fake group, a U.S.-Russia Chamber of Commerce, to make it look like the Biden family was in business with Russia.
He was so into business with Russia that they were on the cusp of a billion-dollar deal with a Russian banking oligarch, a billion dollars, and because it fell through, because Russia invaded Crimea in March of 2014, they quickly pivoted.
While they were still in Moscow, the Hunter Biden team was still in Moscow, they end up landing the Ukraine Burisma deal on Vladimir Putin's soil.
That is what was going on.
That's the Russia part and the China part we know, right?
He went on Air Force Two.
He's doing the text messaging and the pressuring and bringing his dad to a meeting with a Chinese oligarch.
They took our two greatest adversaries in the geopolitical space and they shook them down for money while their father was in charge of those policy portfolios.
That is how unseemly this has now been proven to be.
There was an investigative report on your website, justthenews.com, and the headline is, The Road to Hunter Biden's Burisma Riches was paved in Moscow, with effort to court Russian oligarchs.
There are things in here that I had never heard before or knew before and I'm not sure if anybody knew before what have you discovered it's a month long project by just the news to go back and find documents that previously had not been located or uh were recently being provided to Congress and what it shows is from 2010 to 2014 um before Joe Biden and the Democrats saw red in Russia they saw green in Russia.
Hunter Biden and Devin Archer were at the forefront of trying to convert relationships in Russia that were dependent on their father into investments into their Rosemont Seneca and other businesses.
There is, in 2010, a deal with the Moscow machinery firm.
And Hunter Biden's talking about getting the money from Moscow.
In 2012, they're putting together this billion-dollar deal I mentioned, and they're talking about opening up a Rosemont firm in Moscow.
As that's going on, Vladimir Putin is plotting to invade we didn't know it at the time, but he's plotting to invade Ukraine, uh, Crimea the first time.
Uh and when that happens, there believe it or not, the day that Hunt uh that Vladimir Putin invades Moscow, Hunter Biden's business team is in Moscow.
They're there.
So Hunter Biden's in Ukraine, excuse me, Vladimir Putin is invading Ukraine and near Hunter Biden's team in Moscow.
Their whole billion dollar dream of making money in Russia is uh in jeopardy now because the West is clearly going to revolt against Putin and they quickly pivot and they're meeting with uh uh Zolchevsky, the owner of Barisma and his team, and within a few weeks they turn Russian money into Ukrainian money.
Uh they were simply in Eastern Europe vacuuming up money because uh Joe Biden was the policy leader for uh the Obama administration for Eastern European policy, Ukraine and Russia.
It's an extraordinary story, and I want to point out one thing.
For most of the time that Hunter Biden and his team was in Russia shaking down the money, the money tree, he was a naval officer.
He's a naval officer upholding or supposed to be upholding the security of the United States, and there he is with his hand out in his company's hand out with money from Russia, our greatest geopolitical adversary in Eastern Europe.
You know, uh I'm I'm reading this piece of yours and I'm thinking uh is there anything that that that they they don't try to explain away as just an average day?
Now refresh my memory, Paul Manafort, wasn't he brought up on Farah violations?
Don't you have to register under that, you know, foreign uh act if you're doing business with these companies.
And at any point did Hunter or any of his business partners uh register as required under Farah?
Uh Hunter Biden never did, but several of the lawyers in firms that Hunter Biden engaged to assist him in this work, a uh a firm called Blue Star Strategies, a lawyer named John Beretta, recently, belatedly, years later, registered with the Justice Department as foreign agents because the Justice Department told him.
Well, hang on a second.
Are you supposed to do that before you engage in business activities?
Yeah, this is a CYA exercise years later.
Why did they do it?
Because the Justice Department told them they had to do it.
Uh, what does that mean?
It probably means that if they were engaged in the same activity as Hunter Biden, as uh James Comer and Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have been arguing for years, Hunter Biden himself was also a foreign agent.
We'll see if David Weiss charges uh Hunter Biden with that crime beyond the tax crimes.
But uh it's just a remarkable thing.
He well, well, how is it any different than what Paul Manafort spent time in jail for in solitary confinement for nearly a year?
That's exactly the argument that James Comer, Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson are making, which is there's no difference except that Hunter Biden did it with impunity, and so far, without consequence.
I'll give you one anecdote of the sort of lobbying that occurs from Hunter Biden.
There's an American banker working in Kazakhstan, and he's uh uh Hunter Biden's courting him in the Kazakhs for a big business deal.
And he arranges for this Kazakh banker, American-born, but he's in Kazakhstan doing Kazakhstan business, to meet with his father at the uh naval observatory, the official home of the vice president of military property.
Uh and in that, the goal of the meeting is to allow this man, the Kazakhstan uh banker, to make a case to Joe Biden on who should be the next UN Secretary General, the next leader of the United Nations.
That is lobbying 101.
That's what Hunter Biden facilitated that we've been able to expose in the last several months.
Um and yet Hunter Biden, not for a day, has ever registered to be a foreign agent.
I think anyone who's registered as a foreign agent, those who've been prosecuted under the law, are wondering why doesn't Hunter Biden get the sa treated the same as us.
That's a question that I think will linger into the impeachment inquiry.
All right, quick break more with editor-in-chief and founder, JustinNews.com, John Solomon, and how to keep your family and your business safe and secure with uh very little policing compared to years gone by as we continue.
We continue with the founder, editor in chief, investigative reporter John Solomon, just the news.com.
Let me go through the Barisma timeline.
Barisma and CEFC to me are the most uh egregious examples of of selling influence and the allegations that are uh underlying all of this.
You were the one that broke the story that in October 2015 that it became official Obama administration policy after an interagency study that they had to decl decided that enough progress was made on the issue of corruption that a billion in loan guarantees would take place.
Um is is that true?
It is.
So uh well then I w well then I want to stick with my timeline.
And then in December of twenty fifteen, only days before Joe's trip to Ukraine when he leveraged the billion taxpayer dollars and got Victor Shokin the prosecutor investigating Barisma fired, son of a B they did it.
Didn't didn't Joe Biden speak with Hunter in Dubai with Verisma executives at a time when they desperately needed DC help according to them.
That is according to Devin Archer that's right.
That is the time and in in that window is when there's the pivot.
We now know from uh documents in the white I'll say the part of that story you're referencing that Hunter the uh Joe Biden made a quote unquote audible.
That's what the Washington Post is now calling he changed the policy on his way over to Ukraine right as his son is putting him on the phone right as Barisma's panicking.
The very story we were told during Donald Trump's impeachment has now been completely debunked.
At least the Democratic story has been debunked.
Unbelievable great reporting check it all out at just the news dot com editor in chief investigative reporter founder John Solomon.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
We have an advertiser on this program and I've invited him on the show today because it does matter what firearm you have.
And I've just become the biggest fan of Henry repeating arms, and I have a number of them.
I'm also a gun collector.
I have many of them as part of my collection, and they have revolvers and pistol revolvers and shotguns.
And I'm going to tell you something.
They're in their own league when it comes to the quality and craftsmanship of the firearms that they produce.
Old world craftsmanship, all made in the USA.
And they stand behind it, 100% satisfaction guarantee.
They will make you happy.
they become family heirlooms.
I've actually had some encased for my home and my office because I I I honestly love them so much I don't want anything to happen happen to that part of my collection.
Anyway uh Henry USA dot com is their website the CEO founder of Henry Repeating Arms, Anthony Imparado and William Bell, a firearms expert are with us now and uh great to have you both on the program.
Um there are a lot of people, Anthony, and you know this a lot of people that are afraid to get a firearm.
I've spoken to many over the years.
Then you have other people that will call me and say well Hannity I know you you you're a big gun enthusiast what gun should I get my first answer is well any any firearm that you are willing to get trained in the safe use of I owe a big about safety.
You and I have discussed this many many times before you are as well but it is important in this very dangerous time we live in that people have the ability to defend their families, their businesses, and their employees um I can't think of a time where we've had this this kind of violence that is so out of control and and this is where you come in this is your area of expertise because you manufacture you know probably the best line of firearms in the country today.
Well, thank you for the kind introduction.
Certainly appreciate it.
First-time gun buyers and those that were afraid of buying firearms, that soared during the George Floyd rioting and the whole defund the police movement.
I was getting calls from friends around the country that were not gun owners, uh here they were asking me what kind of gun they should they should buy.
The same has happened now with uh uh of all of this anti-semitism that's going on and uh you know again and and uh add to that illegal immigration and all the crimes we're now witnessing almost on a daily basis nightly basis on television cops being beaten up young nursing student in Georgia just brutally murdered uh I mean it's heartbreaking.
In f it well to it's heartbreaking and it's infuriating uh it it just uh it troubles me to uh to no end.
So we've got a lot of people that were afraid to own firearms now uh uh contacting us, and of course, like you said, the first thing we do is we've been promoting firearm safety since day one.
You don't get out of the shoot unless uh you learn the s uh firearm safety protocol, and we've expanded our efforts in that.
We support every single firearm safety program, the NSSF program, NRA Eddie, Eagles, uh the IHA IHEA.
I could go on and on.
Safety is first.
You know, uh and I'll ask you, William Bell, you're a firearms expert, you're a retired law enforcement.
My mom was a prison guard.
Um a different era, different time.
They didn't have fingerprint safes, for example, like I have next to my bed, uh, and strategically placed around my home.
And anyway, that those weren't available back then.
Um my mom had a revolver that was loaded next to her bed pretty much every night that she slept.
And they knew that their young son was was very curious, and my dad was a family corps probation officer, and what they did at a very, very young age is they took me to the range and they taught me firearm safety.
And I'll never forget this moment.
I go through all of the safety co I go through this long safety course, went on for a couple of hours.
And then the instructor turns to me and says, All right, I want you to talk about gun safety.
Tell me what you learned today.
And I answer him.
And I actually I aced it because I was paying close attention.
I was fascinated with it, interested in it, dying to shoot that that pistol at the time.
And he goes, That's really good.
I'm really proud of you.
He goes, Now, if you remember all of that, next week when you come back, I'll let you fire the pistol.
And I remember my heart sunk because I wanted to fire it then.
However, um it was a valuable lesson to me that this is not a this is not a toy, this is not a game, that this is something that has to be handled with great care.
And the next week I did go back, and then within a short period of time, because I was so interested in it, I was a pistol marksman thanks to this this man.
And that's what you do as well.
Yes, sir.
I uh was a in law enforcement for 38 years and uh seventeen of those years.
I was a collateral duty firearms instructor for U.S. Customs, and people would ask me about gun safety, especially around the around the home.
And the thing I preached the most was do don't make the gun in your home the forbidden fruit.
Don't try to hide it, because the kids are gonna be curious, they're gonna look for it, and if they find it, then it there you know could be a tragic uh occurrence.
So my best advice to people is familiarize your children with firearms around the home.
That doesn't mean leave them laying around, but don't make them like I said, the forbidden fruit.
And just like the teach them like the Eddie Eagle program with the NRA says, if you see a gun, tell an adult.
Don't pick it up, don't handle it, go get an adult.
And uh that's my best advice.
It is, but you know something.
If you're if you're interested in firearms and I had a natural interest in it, uh one of the things that I've learned uh over the years is I've been to many, many ranges, and and Anthony, um I know you probably have had the same experience, is people that are more knowledgeable on on the issue of firearms than say a beginner.
They will stop what they are doing and they will gladly help out any person that that asks for help, and and they do it with great enthusiasm and and passion.
And and what I have found is I mean, all my life I have witnessed this.
It's an amazing kind of you know, brother of sisterhood that takes place at these ranges, and everybody, you know, put safety first.
This is not a game.
And for people that want to learn, there's always somebody that's gonna be willing to help you.
Um I'm having trouble with this firearm.
It just jammed on me.
I really need some help.
Would you mind helping me?
And they said, no problem.
They drop what they're doing, and they will go right over and help you.
It's amazing.
This is like a community.
Agreed 100%.
When you go to the range, there's a sense of uh discipline, respect, kindness, uh exactly the opposite of what the media would portray.
Uh and uh you can go out to uh the Colonial Rifle Pistol Range on this on a Saturday morning where they might have a youth event, and you would you'd see how these uh youngsters are taught safety, discipline, respecting the range manager uh range master, etc.
Um it uh really is a wonderful experience that uh uh especially for you for youth can uh go on throughout their entire lives.
It really is.
Um one of the things uh I'm not sure if you recall, but I had a specially made Henry for me that had the cover of my book, uh the American flag engraved uh in the firearm, live free or die, uh also on it.
And I I put that in a casing because I I I've never fired that firearm.
I don't want to fire it.
I like it too much.
And and you kind of specialize in these tribute edition rifles.
Sometimes you'll you'll make uh you know maybe a thousand of them, and that's it.
When they're gone, you'll never replicate them.
You'll never you'll never make them again.
And with the hundredth anniversary of the U.S. Border Patrol, you've just come out with tribute edition rifles for them in in partnership with the Border Patrol Museum and Memorial Library Foundation in El Paso, Texas.
Um that's a passion of yours.
I mean, you really put this old old world craftsmanship behind every product you sell, which is why you give the best warranty of any gun company that I know.
Thank you.
The the U.S. Border Patrol, 100th anniversary, it came to my attention about three years ago.
And we only do tribute editions for deserving constituencies, military service, law enforcement, first responders, etc.
So uh we began working on that project, and uh there are two models available, uh four models actually, uh 22 and the 357 with two different badge badge options, and it's available to uh past and present uh border patrol agents and present customs employees.
And when the Border Patrol began getting a of uh uh uh uh uh of course an undeserved the agents getting an undeserved black eye, you know, it was just adding fuel to the fire of the whole defund, the police movement, etc.
It's insane that 7,000 agents have been attacked since 2006.
A hundred and fifty agents lost their lives in the line of duty since the inception of the Border Patrol, more than any other federal law enforcement organization.
So Henry Repeating Arms is a proud supporter of all law enforcement, and we are proud that we are affiliated with also the Border Patrol Foundation, which our Guns for Great Causes program made a donation to this year, and we'll we will continue to support them.
Uh they take care of families of uh uh injured and fallen border patrol officers.
And the museum is doing a wonderful job in preserving the history of the Border Patrol, which actually dates back to 1904, but it it became official in 1924, hence the 100th anniversary.
Well, I applaud what you're doing.
I applaud your efforts to educate people.
I uh I applaud the quality of craftsmanship and the pride in which you create every Henry.
Um I'd urge people to really think long and hard about what their Plan is.
And if you're looking for a company that cares about you that wants to set you up with the perfect firearm for your unique security needs, maybe you're a hunter, maybe you're a collector like I am.
You're going to love the selection at Henry.
Just go to their website, it's HenryUSA.com and mention my name.
They're going to send you a free catalog, free decals, and a list of dealers around the country where you are and make it convenient for you.
Anthony, you're the best.
Great to great to have you on.
William Bell, thank you so much for what you do.
Wish we didn't have defund dismantled, no bail laws, madness at our border, and you know, crime, violent crime out of control.
But we do.
And we've got to be prepared.
Thank you both.
Anyway, we would appreciate it.
