House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman Congressman James Comer is here with his new book, out tomorrow, ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MONEY: Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes That Made the Biden Family Rich, a meticulously researched look at the Biden family’s shady finances. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Alright, news roundup and information overload hour.
Toll free, our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, it's going to be very interesting to see whether these quote preemptive pardons uh come in this final week of Joe's presidency, a presidency that has been marred by corruption and failure in in so many different regards.
Uh when you look at the Biden family, it is very, very interesting.
Um we're gonna talk to James Comer in a minute.
He has a new book out.
It's called All the President's Money, investigating the secret foreign schemes that made the Biden family rich.
It's meticulously research.
Um now, if Republicans were like Democrats and they believed in a weaponized system of justice, uh Joe Biden would have massive legal issues facing him on the other side of his presidency unless he offered himself a preemptive pardon, which by the way, I'm not gonna rule out.
I would imagine his brother Jim will get one on the way out the door.
Michael Cohn was begging for one over the weekend, names that have been floated Benny Thompson, Liz Cheney, uh Anthony Fauci, uh among the list of people.
Um just just to remind yourself, the laptop from hell did have numerous references that in spite of Joe proclaiming over and over again, he never once spoke to his son, his brother, or anybody for that matter, about their foreign business dealings.
Well, uh there are numerous references in the laptop that contradict that.
Like like Hunter saying and suggesting that half his income goes to Pops, or that he would be talking to the the same financial advisor that they shared.
Uh, you know, which account should I be taking the money out of to pay for Pops' uh home repairs?
Uh by the way, did he pay taxes on that money?
Because I'm sure if it was me, they'd be all over me.
And remember the WhatsApp message.
I'm sitting here next to my father, in between everybody he knows and my ability to hold the grudge.
This is to the one of the top executives at the energy giant out of China, CEFC.
Uh, you're gonna regret not keeping your end of the bargain, and voila, millions of dollars days later showed up in one of their accounts.
And, you know, go back in time.
You have an evolving story about Joe's involvement with his son and their business dealings, first denying that he ever talked to him about it, then photos began to emerge just in the last week and a half, the National Archives, how convenient after the election, released photos of Joe and Hunter and other business partners, foreign business partners.
But here's the evolving story.
Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?
I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business series.
Curious of the White House and the President still stand behind his comment that he's never been involved and has never even uh spoken to his son about his.
So I've been I've been asked this question a million times.
The answer is not going to change.
The answer remains the same.
The president ha was never in business with his son.
Hunter may have put his father uh on the phone with any number of different people, and they never once spoke about any business dealings.
It was all casual conversation, niceties, the weather.
Why you interacted with so many of your son and brothers foreign business associates?
I'm not gonna comment on it.
I did not, and it's just a bunch of lies.
He didn't interact with it.
I did not.
There's lies.
My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Parisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.
So Joe Biden for nearly fifty years made less than two hundred thousand dollars a year, most of his life.
As soon as he leaves uh left office, he bought a second multi-million dollar mansion.
He shared a bookkeeper with Hunter Biden.
You have all of the damning evidence on that laptop from hell that we just referred to.
A law firm with several Biden family members that manage their money.
Hunter, who hasn't had a real job in decades, was making all this money or a lot of it at a time where they admit that he was addicted to hard drugs.
And Joe Biden met with many of the foreigners that were writing the checks and and clearly access was given.
And anyway, James Comer in this new book, All the President's Money Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes That Made The Biden family rich, he's come up with a lot of information.
And it delves deep into the allegation of corruption, influence peddling, money laundering.
You can decide for yourself when you read the book.
We have a link on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores now across the country.
And you know, maybe nobody will go to prison here.
Maybe maybe this issue of lawfare against former presidents will end, but it doesn't mean that this all didn't happen.
You know, if the Bidens have been involved in in all of this.
Well, you know, why weren't the banks notified you know that, you know, where were the what about the scores of suspicious activity reports?
And anyway, James Comer joins us now.
Um it's an important book.
It's important, I think, for everybody to understand what really went on.
Uh Donald Trump was never even accused of such.
And look at how they treated him.
Look at how they lied for three years about the Russia hoax, look at FISA abuse.
You know, look at the Ukraine impeachment farce that that came about.
Look at this ridiculous case out of New York he had to deal with.
He had to deal with top secret classified information in his home being raided rated, but Joe didn't had four separate locations where he had it.
Hillary Clinton had it all over his servers, she just deleted them.
And the double standard in our Justice Department couldn't be any more clear.
What did you find?
Well, the book goes into great detail about who the people were that sent the Biden money, how they took it and uh would launder it through various shell companies, and then it would end up in the in the hands of ten different Biden family members through incremental payments.
This was a very organized, detailed scheme.
A lot of people don't know the fact that uh Hunter Biden's first real job was he worked for a credit card company in Delaware as a uh credit card fraud investigator, and I think uh he learned a lot of the tricks that he used in financial deception.
These are the tricks that the the two IRS Wheeler whistleblowers outlined uh when they were talking about the money laundering and the shell companies and the tax evasion and and and things like that.
It also details all the government agencies that knew about this.
All the deep state agencies, Sean, that had ongoing investigations.
We learned in our investigation that the FBI, the Department of Justice in several different offices, the IRS, and the Securities and Exchange Commission all had separate investigations of the Biden's for financial crimes, but they were all told to stand down by various different uh deep state bureaucrats.
So there was a massive cover-up.
And it's hard to explain when when I was going on your show, and I I put you in the book, Sean, I acknowledged how how good you were.
You were one of the few people in the in the media that understood this and that that talked about it correctly.
It's very difficult to explain these complex transactions when I would be on five, you know, uh in in a two-minute clip.
But at the at the end of the day, the important thing to remember is there's no legitimate business.
The Bidens never did when we brought Jim Biden in for his transcribed interview and Hunter Biden for their deposition, and all the quote business associates, they never could explain what business the Bidens were in.
But yet they took in twenty-seven million dollars from our adversaries around the world, and they had eight million dollars in loans that they've never repaid.
So, you know, it it's you you're talking about real money, thirty-five million dollars.
How do you get an unforgivable uh loan?
Isn't that called the gift, and isn't it gift taxable?
Yes, and the Irish whistleblowers who were tremendous witnesses along with Tony Bobelinski, uh, they said that they didn't pay any taxes on this.
And in fact, a lot of the the tax evasion that Hunter got charged on, Sean, was for his barisma board seat, where he got a W two.
It was really, even though Barisma was a corrupt energy company, and and in my opinion, Hunter was only hired uh to to get the the the Ukrainian prosecutor off their back because of the they were getting assets seized all over Europe.
Uh and and that was a good deal because Joe did get the federal prosecutor fired, as you mentioned, but it was the only legitimate business that he was a part of.
He got a W 2, he he was listed as a director.
All these shell companies, they never could say what they did.
They didn't have they didn't have, you know, a website, they didn't have assets, they didn't have a com you know, they didn't have uh they didn't manufacture anything, they didn't produce a good, they weren't registered as lobbyists.
So what did they do?
And you know, at the end of the day, what they did was they sold access to Joe.
And that's what the that's what Devin Archer testified.
That's what Tony Boblinski testified, and then we saw, you know, Joe had a 250 thousand uh two hundred and forty thousand dollars wired into his account in in one of the incremental uh uh payments, and then that uh Joe allowed Hunter's bookkeeper to do all his bookkeeping.
I mean, I spend thousands of dollars a year on bookkeeping and I can't imagine the bookkeeping he would have to have, you know, for financial disclosures and and and all the things like that.
Never paid for it, never paid for it.
It was all, you know, Hunter's guy did that.
Uh and and there were a lot of other services they shared, like law firm, even though Joe said many times that there was a wall and he didn't know who any of these people were, we find out well they were his people too.
So the book goes into detail, and I think anyone that kept up with the investigation would enjoy it because it it answers a lot of questions that are just hard to answer in a in a brief clip on a on a TV interview.
Have they t if they attempted in any way to threaten you or sue you or sent your preservation letters?
They threatened to sue Harper Collins in the beginning.
And if you'll see in that political book, Sean, I bet you've read more political books than anyone I've read uh many in my lifetime.
There are more footnotes and end notes in my book, all the president's money, than probably any political book I've ever read.
And it was to cover the the tracks to where they can't they can't sue because every everything we write that I wrote in the book that uh that would be liable.
There's a footnote in note.
Okay, we've got the bank records to prove this.
We've got uh this uh uh this email to prove that, this picture to prove this.
I mean, everything in the book is backed up with respect to the financial misgivings of the Biden family.
So that's why I think it it's just it's really substantive.
And and the the fascinating thing, Sean, is all the people that sent money to the Bidens, they were either in prison, later went to prison, or under investigation, and possibly going to prison.
I mean, these were bad people in bad countries that sent money to the Bidens while Joe Biden was vice president.
And that was another narrative.
When we started the investigation, the narrative was none of this money ever happened while Joe was vice president.
What we found, Sean, was almost all of it happened while Joe was vice president.
All right, quick break, we'll come right back more with Congressman James Comer.
His new book is out all the president's money investigating the secret foreign schemes that made the Biden family rich.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country as we continue.
Your call's also coming up, 800, 941 Sean, as we continue.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
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 podcaster of 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 SAS.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
All right, we continue now.
James Comer is with us.
He's just released a brand new book.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
It's called All the President's Money Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes that made the Biden family rich.
We have a link on Hannity.com.
What do you expect in this last week of Joe's presidency?
Do you expect Jim to get an unconditional pardon and others as well?
I think he'll have to pardon Jim because in our investigation, we we did gave criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, and they don't expire.
You know, the statute of limitations is five years, so they're good for the Trump administration for Pam Bondi.
Uh so that's why he pardoned we we gave criminal referrals for Hunter Biden and Jim Biden.
And that's why he did that unconditional pardon on Hunter Biden.
Because he knew that uh that about what about himself?
Should he do one for himself?
Well, I mean, he should.
Uh if the if if he thinks the Trump administration's going to to prosecute him, and you know, right now the media is just sending all the the liberal media sending words and says, Oh, it's gonna be retaliation.
Trump's department of justice is retaliation.
It's it's about accountability.
There have been crimes committed.
There's a huge government uh government cover up.
And I certainly hope, and I'll meet with Cash Patel later this week.
I hope we can hold people accountable in the government that that covered this up.
If you you know, to to write a letter and and be a former intelligence official and say that the laptop search and disinformation when you know it was not.
That is election interference.
That is a an abuse of power.
When you tell the Irish uh agents to to stand down and allow the statute of limitations to expire on millions and millions of dollars of unpaid taxes, that is an abuse of power.
And I hope that we can get these uh Trump appointees confirmed, and I hope they'll they'll prosecute them.
I mean, they can say we're gonna move forward, we're not gonna look back, but I certainly hope that they prosecute him, Sean.
Well, we appreciate it.

Um Ron DeSantis was great, by the way.
He was at Merilago, and he was talking about Newsom and the wildfires.
And I yeah, I thought it was a great debate when when Governor DeSantis went up against Gavin Newsom.
I thought it was it was it was healthy, it was informative, it was good all the way around.
Anyway, so he was there and he just pointed out something that should be obvious to everybody, and that is that if these wildfires were happening in my free state of Florida, and the response we had hydrants that didn't work, and they cut the the fire department's budget in Florida, and they didn't do basic forest management and they had empty reservoirs and twelve thousand homes were lost and twenty four people were dead.
What do you think the media would be doing every single day?
They'd be they'd be obliterating any Republican governor or Republican official.
It's not happening.
And this is why I don't care if you're watching ABC, MBC, CBS, MSDNC, fake news CNN, reading the New York Times, LA Times, reading USA Today, reading any local paper.
I mean, they're not they're not worth the paper that they're printed on.
And this is why the American people for nine years heard nothing but Trump is evil.
And they didn't listen to any of them.
They listened to all the lies, all the conspiracy theories peddled, all the misinformation, they rejected it, and they went with Donald Trump.
But the but what the governor's saying here, Governor DeSantis, my governor saying, is right on dead on accurate.
for the president-elect or a president to be criticizing.
Is it appropriate for people in your industry to try to create division and to try to create narratives anytime these things happen?
Now you're not as interested in doing that because Newsom is a D. If Newsom was a Republican, you guys would go try that you would have him nailed to the wall for what they're doing over there.
And I know we know that we just assume in Florida any time something happens it's going to be politicized by the media.
So you guys sitting in judgment of Donald Trump, I mean excuse me, uh I think your track record of politicizing these things is is very, very bad.
Unbelievable.
And he's a hundred percent right.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
800 941 Sean if you would like to join us.
Sylvia is in the great state of Tennessee.
Sylvia, how are you?
Glad you called I'm doing great.
I'm glad to talk to you.
Um I'm really excited.
First I just want to say that you have educated me and that I had never voted and because I've been listening to you, I went out and voted.
So thank you very much.
Um let me thank let me thank you because we need we need your vote.
We needed everybody's vote.
And we need everybody to remain engaged because um you'll st we'll begin to see this tomorrow as these nominees go through this process watch the the Democrats will be true to form.
They will try to bork, they will try to Clarence Thomas, Justice Kavanaugh, every one of Trump's picks in the hopes that they can smear them out of existence.
And and you'll it'll be an interesting display.
They have not changed they're not they didn't learn a thing from this election, I promise you.
Yeah, you're very informative.
I even went out and bought a radio a battery operated radio to have in my kitchen to listen to you and Mark through the the night so um devoted listener.
But my two questions actually one is seeing everything that's going on in California all these rich people are losing their million dollar houses when are they going to wake up and realize that the governor is not doing the right thing and that the state is becoming a cesspool and it's not going anywhere.
Is it going to become Republican?
Are people going to change their minds and be like wow we made you know we made a mistake and then my other question is why do they hate Trump so much?
Why are they scared?
Like why are they so scared?
If they weren't so dirty they're they're terrified of Trump coming into office and it just I don't know I'm old and I look at everything and they just say my gosh what is going on in this world in America it just doesn't make sense to me.
But Sylvia you're bringing up so many good points do I think they've changed no I think that if Gavin Newsom ran for re election tomorrow he'd probably win out in California yes.
I think in large part is so many people with common sense had had enough for a long time and they left you know go back to my former state New York, right?
Uh they they just implemented a question tax that is is going to be fifteen dollars every time you go in the city.
That's going to hurt workers that's going to hurt the poor middle class more than anybody else and there's no reason for it.
Then there's a big story in the New York Post today.
I still get the hard edition even down in Florida and they're now trying to implement rules environmental rules that will force restaurants in New York that use char broilers, you know, to make cheeseburgers etc, whatever they're making steaks.
They have to figure out a new way to cook the meat and restaurants that char broil more than eight hundred and seventy five pounds of meat a week are going to be barred legally from operating unless they installed an emissions control device to curb the pollutants in their char broilers that if they were installed before May 6th of 2016.
Now it may sound like a small issue.
I've been in the restaurant business.
I was there for ten years.
Do you know what the margin on food is in a restaurant?
It is tiny.
It is there's only so much you can charge people for a cheeseburger.
And there's only so much money to be made there.
And then you've got to pay, you know, your your rent or your mortgage, and then you've got to pay your employees and and so on and so forth, and the list goes on and on.
Most most people don't realize that most restaurants make their money off of alcohol.
They don't really make it on the food.
You know, unless you're a very high end restaurant.
I'm from New York.
I left New York right after nine eleven and I went to Arizona, and my son's in the military, and I moved to Tennessee because he said, Hey, mom, come with us.
And I see such a difference from one side of the country to the other.
And it just I just I'm sixty-three years old, and I don't understand why the Democrats want to destroy the United States.
And it just doesn't make sense.
Let me tell you, this is on the heels of New York cracking down on wood and coal oven pizzerias.
And you know, restaurant, you know, restaurant owners, they're gonna have to go out of business.
You know, one one guy was quoted in the article, we've been doing this for almost seventy-five years.
But think about this.
This is the same Democratic Party that if they had their way, we would put a moratorium on fracking and drilling, and we just keep accumulating debt and and putting that on our children and grandchildren in perpetuity, and we could be the the most energy rich nation on earth with all the energy resources we have.
They want no part of that.
The same people that allowed in terrorists and cartel members, murderers, rapists, gang members, that's the same people that want you want to tell you to get a new air conditioner and a new refrigerator and a new stove and a new washer and dryer.
They don't care.
They you know, they claim that they care about the working class in this country.
They don't, because otherwise they wouldn't burden us with that.
The same people that reject the science of forestry and they don't do controlled burns because oh, it's bad for the environment.
Well, well, what's the air quality in California like these days?
It's not too good.
And yet they're going after small business people, and and these and I'll be frank, uh these businesses will end up going out of business.
You know, then we have, you know, it's it's look if you're asking if they learned anything from the last election, look at California, look at New York.
You know, Governor Hokel in New York is expected to announce an anti-pollution push in her state uh that will send home heating prices and gas prices up by twenty-two cents a gallon.
You know, I pay in in Florida a little just slightly over, like three dollars and three cents a gallon for gasoline.
And my friends in California are paying close to six dollars a gallon, and it's going higher.
They're sixty-eight cents on every gallon of tax for just for California on top of uh on top of their thirteen and a half percent uh income tax, and they don't even have water in their fire hydrants, and they don't have reservoirs that are filled, and they had eleven years to build reservoirs that was approved by taxpayers and they didn't do it,
and they're cutting back on firefighters' salaries, but they're gonna spend billions on on wind turbines, and and they offered six hundred and fifty million federal and state dollars to the port of LA to go green.
I mean, these states are a mess.
No no reasonable person is ever gonna want to live there.
And, you know, people ask me all the time, do I re regret moving?
The answer is no, I don't.
It was the best decision I made.
I got out in the nick of time.
And and you know, I fully expect that New York will will still try to come after me, but I I hired an army of Accountants and lawyers, you know, for the very purpose of doing it legally and dotting every I and crossing every T. You know, and that's just the way it is.
It's sad.
What they've done is unconscionable.
So why would I appreciate the call?
Oh, go ahead.
Yeah.
Um, why would they re-elect him?
Being that he did such a crappy job with this whole fire.
Like with these fires.
I mean, I don't understand.
I have no idea.
Well, explain why Democratic Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey claimed the LA fires are a result of climate change disaster stoked by Donald Trump and his embrace of big oil, you know, or or why you know global warming is the you know, Bernie Sanders is claiming.
And meanwhile, you know, Gavin Newson's spending more time rather than making building a relationship with Donald Trump, which would be smart.
You know, he's gonna spend fifty million dollars and build a budget so that they can challenge Trump in court every step of the way while he's president.
It's insane.
I appreciate it, Sylvia.
James is in Utah.
Hey James, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, hey, Sean.
Uh one more week.
One more one more week, yes, sir.
Hey, I'm calling uh regards to the young lady that talked to you last week about uh why she had water, you had water for your hostess in your house, uh, and you didn't have water for you know the fire hunters.
Uh most public utilities have got two lines, a fire line and a domestic line.
So that's the reason something is seems to be um a miss there, because why would the domestic pumps work and the fire pumps not work?
You know, so it there's no excuse, especially in light of what we learned from the fire chief and what we learned about everybody knowing the hydrants were not designed to put out wildfires, number one, and they had no plan.
They they warned the mayor that they only had half the personnel that they would need for a wildfire.
All of these homes could have been saved.
They don't practice, you know, the science of forestry, they don't have enough firefighters, they have hydrants that don't work, they have empty reservoirs, and they want to blame Donald Trump.
I mean, you can't make it up.
Uh anyway, appreciate the call.
Kevin, my free state of Florida.
We have about a minute.
Kevin, it's all yours.
Hi, Sean.
Uh, first of all, a couple of comments and then uh a question to you.
Congratulations to you and Angley.
You guys make a looking couple.
Uh number two, thank you for reuniting our country with your common sense reporting and patriotism.
And uh third, I've got a question.
What are they gonna do with all the displaced people that lost their homes in that fire?
Are they gonna give them fifteen hundred dollar debit cards to use and put them up in a nice hotel room like they did all the people that violated our border laws to get into this country and treat them better than they treated us?
You know what?
You raised a great point because they have plenty of room for illegal immigrants.
Remember, California's a sanctuary state.
LA's a sanctuary city.
You know, they're paying for food they're paying for food, housing, health care, education.
You're putting that burden on the taxpayers in California and frankly the country.
New York doing the same thing.
Um I'm uh, you know, meanwhile, they were trying to kick out thirty, five hundred uh victims of Hurricane Helene.
I I think we got a stay of execution last minute, uh, because of of local politicians reaching out, but there's still that pressure on people to you know comply with whatever FEMA is demanding just to stay warm in the middle of the coldest time of the year in the middle of a cold snap.
Anyway, good call, my friend.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Hannity tonight on the Fox News Channel, a preview of one week from today, which is inauguration day for Donald Trump.
We've got New King Rich, we've got Steven Miller, we got Laura Trump coming up, James Comer on the Biden family syndicate.
He lays it all out uh for all eyes to see and to decide.
Uh we'll talk about the devastation, three more days of Santa Ana wins out in California, Governor Mike Huckabee, Katie Pavlitz, Rob Robert Davi, a lot of Hollywood people losing their homes.
All coming up, say E D V R Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
