Did Biden Lie to America Over Nord Stream Pipeline plus FBI Dir. to be Held in Contempt of Congress & SPLC targets Moms

with this shocking news on the Nordstream pipeline. This seems to be a major change in the White House's position despite we now know they were briefed back in June of twenty twenty two that apparently, and this is coming from the CIA, that Ukraine was planning and even practicing to blow up the nord Stream pipeline. Biden, if you fast forward from June to September of twenty twenty two,

he came out and said this, after that pipeline was exploded. Quote, let me say this, it was a deliberate act of sabotage, and now the Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies. The President went on to say we'll work with our allies to get to the bottom of exactly what happened with precisely what happened. At my direction, I've already begun to help our allies enhance the protection of this critical infrastructure.

And then, Senator, he said this quote, and at the appropriate moment, when things calm down, we're going to send the divers down to find out exactly what happened. We don't know what yet, we don't know exactly. But just don't listen to what Putin's saying, because he's saying, we know it's not true. Now I think he was trying to say because what he was saying, we know is

not true. Senator, you hear this now. And if you look at the headline coming from the liberal Washington Post, Biden blamed Russia for the nord Stream pipeline attack, despite the CIA being briefed earlier on a uk Ukrainian plot to do exactly that.

his complete capitulation to Russia. And to retread a little bit, but this is important to understand why this story in the post is significant. Putin has long wanted to invade Ukraine. He wants to reassemble the old Soviet Union. He longs for the days of what he perceives as Soviet greatness. If you're going to reassemble the old Soviet Union, Ukraine is the most important piece of it. And Putin previously

invaded Ukraine. In twenty fourteen, he invaded Ukraine, invaded Crimea, which is the southern portion of Ukraine, but he stopped because Russia's primary source of revenue is selling oil and natural gas, and the natural gas pipelines run right through the middle of Ukraine, and if he invaded the whole country, he risked damaging or destroying those pipelines. So the next year, in twenty fifteen, he launched the nord Stream two pipeline.

Nordstream two is an under sea pipeline underneath the Baltic Sea that runs directly from Russia to Germany. The entire purpose of it was to circumvent Ukraine so that when the pipeline became complete and active, Russia could invade Ukraine and not worry about the pipelines because it could get its natural gas to market. As you know, in twenty nineteen, I authored sanctions legislation that shut the nord Stream two pipeline down. Putin halted construction of the pipeline literally the

day Donald Trump signed my sanctions legislation. At the law For over a year, from December twenty nineteen to January of twenty twenty one, the pipeline was dead and dormant, and nothing happened because the sanctions legislation that I authored and Trump signed had stopped it. Joe Biden became president

on January twentieth, twenty twenty one. Four days later, January twenty fourth, Putin resumed deep sea construction of Nordstream two because Biden had foreshadowed incredible weakness that he was going to give into Russia. That foreshadowing proved accurate. Several months later, Biden formally waives sanctions on Nordstream two, gave putin a multi billion dollar gift. Fast forward to January of twenty twenty two. I forced a vote on the Senate floor

to reimpose sanctions on Nordstream two. Every Democrat had voted with me twice to impose those sanctions. On the day of the vote, Biden, for the first time in his presidency, came to Capitol Hill and personally lobbied Democrat senators to vote against my sanctions legislation, to vote in favor of Russia, in favor of Putin, and forty four Democrats flipped their votes. They had voted with me twice, but at Biden's behest, they put partisan politics above us, national security, above standing

with our allies. Now, when that vote was pending, President Zelenski of Ukraine publicly begged the Senate pass cruises sanctions legislation. It's the only way to stop Russia from invading Ukraine. The government of Poland put out a formal statement said pass cruises sanctions legislation. Without it, Russia will invade Ukraine. The Democrats flipped, the legislation failed, and just a few

weeks later, Russia invaded Ukraine. Fast forward, We've now had the biggest land war in Europe since World War II, waging for over a year. Biden was so weak to Russia. He capitulated to Russia. He allowed Putin to complete Nordstream two. And the result was exactly what Zelenski predicted, exactly what Poland predicted, exactly what I predicted on the Senate floor. Russia invaded Ukraine. Now several months ago, as we know, the nord Stream two pipeline was blown up. That was

a big deal. This was a pipeline Biden had allowed Putin to complete, and when it exploded with undersea munitions, the Biden White House had a spin, and their foreign policy talkers had a spin. They said, Russia blew it up. Now, I got to admit, Ben I always found that a weird talking point. Sure, look, Putin's number one priority was to build the damn pipeline in order to enable him

to invade Ukraine. Why would Putin blow up his own pipeline, which is what gave him the ability to engage in the war to re establish and recreate the Soviet Union. I always found that crap. So the alternative hypothesis was that the United States blew it up. Seymour Hirsch, who is a journalist who has done some good work, but he engages in a lot of fantastical work that has very questionable moorings to reality. He wrote a long article

arguing in the United States blew it up. I have to admit I read Hirsch's article and I was pretty skeptical of it. And I was skeptical of it mostly because the Biden administration lacks the spinal fortitude to do it. It may well be in the United States' interest to blow the damn thing up, but I didn't believe Joe Biden and had the guts to give that order. So the Biden administration was saying Russia did it. That always struck me as boloney. Other people were saying, maybe the

United States did it. That actually struck me as bolooney as well. I just don't believe Biden would be willing to do that. My view from the day it happened is I said, look who benefits from this? There's always a good analysis on foreign policy to ask who benefits. The obvious player that benefits is Ukraine. And so my view on the day this happened is the obvious player who have done this is Ukraine. If if and This is a big if if they have the technological capability

to do it. And what I didn't know and I don't know today, is whether Ukraine had the ability to go nearly three hundred feet underwater and blow up that pipeline. If they did, it's a no brainer that blowing up Nordstream too benefits Ukraine and hurts Russia. This story in the Washington Post yesterday asserts that the CIA, the Biden CIA had credible intelligence that Ukraine blew up the pipeline.

I don't know if that's true, and I'm going to readily say I've had lots and lots of classified briefings on lots and lots of topics. I've had zero classified briefings with information on this question. So I don't have any specialized information on who blew it up. Whether it was Russia, whether it was Ukraine, whether it's the United States, or whether it was someone else.

been doing recently. We've seen what's happened at Target, We've seen what's happened with Dizzy.

Go online to Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict, Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict, or call them eight seven eight Patriot that's eight seven eight Patriot or Patriot Mobile

You look at the Washington Post and what they reported, they said based on Pentagon documents allegedly leaked onto Discord, a European nation briefed the Biden administration that the Ukrainian military had planned a covert attack on the undersea network using a small team of divers who reported directly to the commander in chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Yet the President, knowing this, being briefed on this, told the American people Russia did this.

He blamed Russia for this, And you talked about the lie here. Why would he lie to us and why would he mislead the American people this way while also at the same time sending countless American tax dollars to Ukraine.

the invasion of Ukraine. It never made sense to me, so you know, I guess you could have some sort of sophisticated psyops that he blows it and blows it up and maybe he figures it weakens Europe's commitment to Ukraine. I just that that seems so attenuated to me. It sounds like boloney.

must be asked about American aid going to Ukraine? Or does that really have no bearing on that even if in fact they may have done this.

think there would have been a war on Ukraine. Why because look rewind to twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, everyone in Washington said, we can't stop this pipeline. We're hopeless, there's nothing we can do. When I wrote the legislation, it was targeted sanctions legislation. There was a specific company, the Allseas Company, that was building the pipeline, and I wrote the legislation that would bankrup the company

if it continued building the pipeline even for a minute. Now, amazingly enough, we passed this legislation December of twenty nineteen. If you remember what else was happening in December twenty nineteen, the House of Representatives under Nancy Pelosi was impeaching Donald Trump, and not just in peaching Donald Trump, impeaching him for

conduct concerning Ukraine. So I'm trying to pass legislation that is integral to Ukraine in the middle of the House impeaching Trump for Ukraine, and I need bipartisan support and to get this passed. I had to get support from the chairman and ranking members, so from the Democrat and Republican in the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, and from

Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. That's eight players in the Senate, and I had to get support from the same eight players in the House in the middle of this police blood bath over the first Trump impeachment on Ukraine. And so in hindsight it remains a friggin' miracle we got it done. To be honest, part of the way I got it done is I didn't mention the word Ukraine at all. I'm like Ukraine, never heard of it, don't know what that is. Sorry, this is all about Russia

and Germany. Has nothing to do with Ukraine. Never heard of it at all. We got it done, which remains astonishing. And by the way, I was on the phone repeatedly because it went off course about six times in the course of this negotiation. I was talking to different members

and brought it back on course. Now, once it passed, there was a big lobbying effort within the Trump administration from the pro nordstream two forces that first of all, wanted the treasure well actually before that, they wanted the National Security Council to issue a signing statement that would cut the sanctions. And I ended up picking up the phone and calling Trump's National Security advisor, Robert O'Brien, who was a good friend of mine. Robert was in the

NSC Christmas party at the time. This is December twenty nineteen, and I called over. I said, pull Robert out of the Christmas party. I need to talk to him right now. And I told Robert, I said, listen, this legislation is incredibly important. There are forces that are not positive and beneficial that are trying to get the White House to give a signing statement undercutting these sanctions. I said, if y'all do this, I'm going to go to the Senate

floor and light you up. Please don't make me do this. I don't want to light you up. You don't want me to light you up. Do the right thing. Let's stand up and stop this. And Robert, to his credit, said, ted, I got this. It's taken care of. And he quashed the lobbying effort to save the pipeline. There was a second effort, and it was an effort to get the Treasury Department to issue guidance concerning the sanctions that would

essentially allow the pipeline to keep being built again. It's December. I'm on the phone with Treasury. I'm also texting Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State. I'm working with the Department of Energy. I'm working with the National Security Council. There was a big interagency battle. Long and short of it is, we won the internagency battle, and the people that were trying to get Treasury to gut the sanctions lost. I sent a letter to the CEO of All Ceas Corporation, which

was the company that was building the pipeline. And as you know, Ben, I spent a lot of years practicing law, whether as Solicitor General of Texas or in private practice. I've represented a lot of clients. I wrote a letter that was designed and I'm going to give a technical legal term to make the CEO sphincter titan so tight

that he could form coal into diamonds. The letter said, you need to be advised that this legislation which I drafted creates sanctions that are immediate, that are non waivable, and that are fatal that are designed to destroy your company. And if you care about shareholder value, if you care about your executives, if you care about your employees, you will not continue to build this pipeline for even sixty seconds after the President signs this bill. If you do,

you will destroy your company. Now, Trump signed the bill, if I remember correctly, at seven pm on a Thursday night, I was flying home to DC. Seven pm on a Thursday night, I land in DC, flying home to Houston rather from DC seven pm on a Thursday night, the company building the pipeline at Putin's direction announces at six forty five pm, fifteen minutes before they've immediately halted construction

of the pipeline and set sail away. He had stopped this because it was an America's interest to stop this. Biden gave Putin this gift because he didn't have the strength to stand up to Russia and because he wanted to make nice with Germany. Yeah, and given that weakness. Look, if I think if this pipeline had been built, I believe Trump would have bombed the hell out of it. I think Trump would have blown it up, but he wouldn't have had to blow it up because Trump had

stopped it by signing my legislation. It was Biden's weakness that caused the pipeline to be built, and so I think the chances that Biden would have acted to take out the pipeline are virtually nil. But I also think the Biden White House's spin that it was Putin who did it that never made sense.

like you've got fatigue, weakness, complacency, you're not alone. Testostrum levels have fallen off a cliff historically. In fact, they are at an all time low. Thankfully, the patriots at chalk choq dot com are helping real America men take back their right to probably maximize your masculinity by boosting your testosterum levels up to twenty percent over ninety days.

That's promo code Ben, thirty five percent off anti chok subscription for life choqt dot com booshir at saws from levels of twenty percent over ninety day choq dot com center despite pledging, and this is the part where it looks like the Washington Post was really going after the Biden administration because they promised that they were going to get to the bottom this week. I read that statement

at the very beginning of the podcast today. But despite pledging to get to the bottom of it, the Biden administration is completely silent, and apparently they already knew what was going to happen. They were briefed done it months before, So the President may have just been lying to us when he said he was gonna send divers down there and find out what's really going on. And the White House was asked about this yesterday. Here's what John Kirby had to say about it when he was asked by the press.

the Russians have been using to kill Ukrainians. So the Biden administration caused the war through its own weakness and now is funding both sides of the war, and so they are Look, I'll give John Kirby a little bit of credit that he's at least sheepish for the disaster

that this administration has caused. But I got to say the answer he gave yesterday is utterly incompatible with the administration's answer when the pipeline blew up, when they claimed this was an investigation they were going to get to the bottom of well, while at the same time doing everything they could to suggest it's Putin. Putin.

feeling it because this is unprecedented. The White House has actually come out and claimed that the Biden family business quote represents no national security threat, and they even use John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications. He denied that the Biden family business schemes represent a national security threat, despite admitting he had not read the House Oversight Committee's report on the matter.

the foreign country is not China. The House of Representatives investigating this wanted to see that report. Initially, they subpoened that report, and the FBI said, go jump in a lake.

or the mafia. You know, you get some hit man who says, Okay, I'm going to tell you about the don and what he did that. You don't want the report from the informant made public because if it is made public, the crime boss will have that guy killed. And so it's not classified. Classified typically involves national security issues, it involves foreign policy issues. In law enforcement, it's not classified,

but it is confidential. And law enforcement confidential is a serious, serious status because you want to protect the integrity of a law enforcement investigation and you want to protect the identity of an informant. What you and I talked about two days ago is the circumstances here are very different.

Number One, presumably this informant is advising not on a mafia boss, not on El Chapo, not on some drug kingpin, but on Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, then the Vice President of the United States, now the President of the United States. One would assume the law enforcement interests are markedly less in that Biden is not going to have the guy whacked.

And by the way, lefty Twitter went insane this week because we said in Monday's podcast, I said, it's reasonable to assume the threat to the informant's life is less given that he was informing on Joe Biden. And they said, oh my gosh, you know, Cruz is suggesting that Joe Biden is going to have someone murdered.

this document. We want to make it public. And Chris Ray said, Nope, not going to do it. And so what's going to happen tomorrow on Thursday, is the House is going to vote to hold Chris Ray in contempt of Congress. Now, let me give a couple of consequences of this one.

But I'm gonna make it on this podcast as well. I know Chris Ray, Well, Chris.

to protect the Constitution. You are ultimately accountable to the American people, and the American people have a right to know if there's credible evidence that the president of the United States was involved in bribery from a foreign nation. It is difficult to imagine an issue of greater public importance. And so I'm calling on Chris Ray. Do the right thing. Hand this document over, don't dig in as a stubborn institutional warrior and end up being held in contempt of Congress.

Now you might think, gosh, I'll be fine because the Biden DOJ is so politicized, they'll never prosecute the contempt holding. And that's true. The chances that Merrick Garland will prosecute Chris Ray for contempt are zero point zero percent. But the damage to the integrity of the FBI will be massive if Chris Ray refuses to give in to public accountability. So I'm calling on the director of the FBI, Donald

Trump appointed you. You're not a left wing partisan. Your loyalty is not to the rabid partisans and the senior positions of the FBI. Your loyalty should be to the Constitution and the American people. And that means you should hand this document over for the people to assess it on the.

going to be coming in from Romania. This is a massive amount of money coming in, and it's coming in to business associates designing a web of companies over twenty that we know of, many of which were formed during Joe Biden's vice presidency, and the committee said.

from Barisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company. We know that up to a dozen Biden family members received millions of dollars from Chinese communist countries. Now they're these allegations about a mysterious third country. We don't know what that is. Now that there's additional allegations about Romania, we don't know the details of that. It is bizarre. Why are your family members getting millions of bucks? Look foreign nations, Ben,

You're a really successful guy. You're a well respected radio host. You've been you've been a talk radio host with a national following since you were literally twelve years old, which is a little bit bizarre.

level that is weird. And the only way the corporate media can can whitewash this is to ignore it because you can't explain, well, gosh, isn't everybody on the take from communist China? No, no, they're not. This is a big damn problem, and it's why Chris ray owes it to the American people to be forthcoming. He doesn't work for the bureaucrats, he doesn't work for Merrick Garland. He works for the American people and he should behave like it this money.

Walker LLC over three million. Now, this Blade and Enterprise is a report to be this company that was used to conduct business in Romania from a shady Romanian oligarch. Robinson Walker is the Biden family business partner who collectively sent the Biden family that one point three million to all of those Biden family members from the Biden crime family really exploded in the number of Biden's and the Biden family accounts. Now we know received approximately one million,

thirty eight thousand from the Robinson Walker LLC. Account after this Romanian company deposit money in his accounts. Now the committee revealed all of this based upon wire transfers that was part of all these suspicious activity reports. And in total, sixteen of the seventeen payments from this bladant enterprises to Robinson Walker LLC were made while Joe Biden was the Vice President of the United States of America, knowing that

money was coming in when he was the vice president. Senator, Is there going to be any accountability.

Democrats have the majority and Senate Democrats. There is not a single Democrat, not one who gives a damn about whether the President of the United States is directly implicated in a bribery scheme involving foreign nations, because if they gave a damn, they'd do something about it. Look, I'm in hearings every week from the Judiciary Committee. One of the Democrats could ask a witness about it. None of them ever have. Dick Durban as chairman of the Judiciary Committee,

he could convene a hearing, he hasn't. Bob Benendez is chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. I serve on that as well. He could convene a hearing he hasn't. He could ask a question, he hasn't. None of the Democrats in the committee have asked questions. They don't care, And unfortunately Senate Democrats are putting partisan politics. Go to Richard Nixon and Watergate. You want to know why the Nixon White House fell, Why Nixon resigned while that scandal came down.

It was because Republicans had the testicular fortitude to stand up and say this is corrupt, and will stand up to our own party and say no. Is there even one Democrat and by the way, they don't need to call him out and say it's corrupt that they could just start by saying, wow, these allegations are serious. We need answers like that's not much. That's asking for a tiny little mustard seed of integrity in the House. If there's been a House Democrat who's done that, I haven't

seen it. Every hearing they have. The House Democrats all act like the Praetorian Guard, or actually more like the sort of legally blonde cheerleaders with mini skirts and pom poms surrounding Joe Biden in the White House. But none of them that I've seen, has a shred of integrity to say, gosh, that would be a problem. If the President of the United States on the is on the take from a foreign nation, one of them should do so. And by the way, when was the last time CNN

asked about this? MSNBC asked about this, ABC asked about this. I will say CBS, to their credit, has covered this a little bit, so it's almost the only outlier from the corporate media who's dared to cover it. But where's the where's the sixty minute special? Where's the uh? You remember Ted Koppa, Where's Nightline? Yeah, corruption in the White House. The corporate media does not care. Where are Woodward in Bernstein?

There are no Woodward in Bernstein's. Apparently reporters don't exist anymore.

Augusta Precious Metals is a company that I use why because they will even tell you if gold is not right for you and your portfolio based on what you're trying

right of center and to call them hate groups. Among other groups, they've called the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is one of the most important organizations nationally for defending religious liberty, for litigating and winning national Supreme Court victories in front

of the Supreme Court. So you literally have this organization of public interest lawyers who are winning religious liberty victories before the Supreme Court, that the Southern Poverty Law Center calls a hate group like the Nazis of the kak. They also call the Family Research Center, which is a fantastic family research council with a fantastic organization that that is is pro life, is pro traditional values, that fights

for family values across this country. They labeled them as a hate group, and in fact, the Southern Poverty Law Center's direction. Designation of the FRC as a hate group led one radical, deranged, angry leftist to show up with a gun trying to murder people at the FRC, and thankfully there was a security guard who heroically stopped this crazed, attempted murderer from carrying out the hate that was inspired

by the SPLC. SPLC is so radical. They had a lawyer just recently that worked for them who was arrested for being an Antifa terrorist in Atlanta and participating in terrorist riots against law enforcement. Mind USPLC said when their own employee was nominated to be was indicted as being an Antifa terrorist, said, we stand by our employee. That's

who they are. By the way, their director of litigation, a radical left winger Joe Biden, is dominated to be a Federal Court of Appeals judge, and the Democrats happily stood with her. Well, now the Southern Poverty Law Center is going on offense, and they've decided to target moms for Liberty. Let me say moms for liberty. They are phenomenal women. They are moms who are standing up for their kids. And you want to know the power of

moms for liberty. Let me tell you someone who would not have the first name in his title, and that would be Governor Glen Youngkin. Without moms for liberty, Governor Glen Youngkin would be Glen Youngkin. There'd be no governor. We'd have Governor Terry mccauliffe. Because Virginia, which Biden won by nearly ten points, Virginia flipped red and white of Virginia flip read it flipped red because moms stood up and they were ticked off at the left wing takeover

their schools. They were ticked off at the woke ideology. They were ticked off at Loud County, at the school district covering up for a sexual predator, a boy wearing a skirt the girl's restroom assaulted and raped a girl. They were ticked off at the critical race theory being taught to their kids. And Moms for Liberty energized moms in Virginia across the country. They also energize moms who were mad at the school shutdowns and said, look, our

kids deserve schooling. These radical ideologues are shutting down schools and hurting our children. And these moms engaged, They spoke out they're powerful. They flipped Virginia from blue to red to the shock of the left wing establishment. What as the Southern Property Law Center said, moms they're defending their kids are a hate group. I'm gonna say right now, the SPLC is a radical left wing hate group. I'm

gonna use that term. They hate you, they hate me, they hate America, they hate conservatives, they hate the Constitution, they hate the Bill of Rights, they hate families, they hate moms, they hate dads, they hate anyone who stands up for this country. And I gotta say for the SPLC to go after moms for liberty is disgusting.
