Gay Marriage, Hunter Biden, & Crypto-Corruption With Democrats!

since election day. Nice to sit with you finally after a week of you barnstorming the country, and I want to get into something that's exciting. Verdict has really been driving the news. There's an extremely important issue that's happening in washing DC right now on the issue of gay marriage. They actually led with your comments from this podcast on Fox News Sunday, and I want people to take a listen to what it is that you had to say

and why this is driving the news. Take a look about the same sex marriage Bill, the Respect for Marriage Act, that essentially has gone through this first vote in the Senate. It will have more action down the line, but it essentially ensures that all fifty states will recognize same sex marriages from other states. Conservatives are warning though, that the Biden administration could end up using this as a weapon. Here's something that Senator Ted Cruz said on his podcast

about it this week. Any charity that believes marriage is the union of one man and one woman, any charity that does not embrace same sex marriage, this bill is designed to strip their five oh one C three status, to persecute the churches and universities and schools and charities. So Senator Mike Lee has, first of all, let's let's make one thing clear. Okay, one more time, Ted Cruz is one role. Okay, let's find out on that statement you would not see in one of the things that

they gained twelve Republican votes. And I think more on final passage is there were greater protections from religious freedom put in. And so you see the Mormon Church, you see a number of mainstream Protestant denominations, you see a series of other faith organizations actually support this marriage equality law.

And this remember this marriage equality law. It's not only about same sex marriage, but it also validates something that literally sixty years ago and my state of Virginia was illegal, which was interracial marriage. I think this is where the vast majority of Americans are at I think you will see the numbers even go up in the Senate as we get to the final passage. We saw forty seven House members, mister Cruz one more time saying stuff that has no basis in truth. The fact that's just okay,

you do critically how we roll. So hold it there, all right. So if you look at that segment, I gotta say, Mark Warner, he really typifies the Democrats because he calls me a liar while not responding to one word of the substance of what I said. And that really is the Democrat m O. Listen this bill. Let's talk about what this bill does accomplish and what it doesn't accomplish. The Democrats are pitching this as a bill to protect the right to same sex marriage and to

protect the right to interracial marriage. Well, both of those are protected right now by existing law. The US Supreme Court has held that gay marriage is a right, and it held many decades ago that an interracial marriage is a right that ain't changing. And it's important to note the Democrats pitch this entire bill based on a false premise, which is they suggested there's some chance the Supreme Court

might revisit the gay marriage ruling. Well, the majority opinion in Dabbs, the decision overturning ro versus Wade, said not once, not twice, but three times they were not going to revisit that decision. In fact, the third time, Justice Alito, writing for the majority, said, I don't know how to say this anymore. Clearly, we are not going back to

that decision. So all of this, this bill is based on a lie, which is a bunch of Democrats and a bunch of folks in the media scaremongering that the Supreme Court's going to overturn a decision that they told us three times they're not going to overturn a political cover for them. It is purely political cover, and it's based on Justice Thomas wrote a concurrence that was examining

the legal basis for roversus. Wade, which is a legal doctrine called substitive due process, and he pointed out that it had been the legal basis for other decisions like the gay marriage decision. But no other justice joined Clarence Thomas in that concurrence. So, unless you believe that Joe Biden is going to nominate and the Senate is going to confirm four new justices to the Court who are

to the right of Clarence Thomas. The chances of the Supreme Court overturning that decision are zero point zero percent. And Mark Warner knows that. Every Democrat knows that. But this is scaremongering. So you say, Okay, if the Court's not going to overturn it, what harm does that this build? Well, let me tell you this bill does considerable harm, because

you know what this fight really is about. It is about the Biden administration being able to persecute people of faith, being able to persecute churches K through twelve schools, universities, and charities that specifically they're a religious basin Christian, Christian, or for that matter, Jewish, or for that matter, Muslim, any religious organization that believes marriage is the union one man and one woman, so whatever it might be. And let me point out this is not a hypothetical threat.

I want to read to you from the transcript at the Berghofel oral argument, which was the gay marriage oral argument, where the Solicitor General Don Varelli he was in the Obama Justice Department, and Justice Alito asked whether the next step would be for universities opposed to same sex marriage to lose their tax exempt status. So this is in the oral argument. And here's what General really replies, quote, it's certainly going to be an issue. I don't deny that.

I don't deny that. Justice Alito, it's going to be an issue. That's what the Obama DOJ said. And this bill is all about teeing up the Obama or rather the Biden IRS to target Christian university, Christian schools, churches, and charities. And by the way, this is also not hypothetical. The City of Philadelphia went after and targeted Catholic charities and said they're not allowed to engage in adoptions because Catholic charities in Philadelphia won't provide an adoption for a

same sex couple. Now, to be clear, same sex couples can adopt kids in Philadelphia. There are lots of adoption agencies they can use. But the City of Philadelphia said, well, if Catholic charities won't participate, out of the business. This bill is all about setting up the IRS to start stripping tax exempt status from organizations they hate. Senator I want to go into the media and how they're covering this, but Before we get to that, I want to tell

everybody about our amazing sponsor, Patriot Mobile. If you've got a cell phone, and nine percent of Americans do, how would you like to know that with every phone call you make, you're supporting conservative causes. Well that's what Patriot Mobile does. And they use the same cell towers that you're on right now, meaning you get the same exact coverage that you're getting right now. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile phone provider. They are a force

for conservative values. Why because they take a portion of every bill that you pay and they find conservative causes, candidates and organizations that believe in the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment, and they're winning. If you're ready to have your dollars matter when you're paying a bill, switch to Patriot Mobile. They can save

you money over what you're paying right now. They can save you and your family money, and they even can save your business or small business money because they have an entire section of the business that's just dedicated to businesses. They offer the same nation wide coverage as all the other major carriers, but the difference is you actually get to stand up for what you believe in every time you pay that bill. So go online to Patriot Mobile

That's nine seven to Patriot use the promo code Verdict. Now let's let's play out. Let's continue this because the discussion goes on and everything Mark Warner says about it is wrong. So

let's hear what he has to say. It's nerd. Miikely is among those who say they are sort of toothless protections in there for religious minorities, and not minorities, but people who hold of whatever faith they are. His conviction about traditional marriage is his wording. He's offered this amendment. I've got it here in my hand, he says, it's done in good faith. It will offer further protection to

people in religious organizations. Why not allow a vote on the amendment if that is truly an issue and it may get you more votes, but more protections for those whoever religious. I would first of all point out the fact, you know, I believe Mike Lee is a member of the Mormon Church. Organization, his church, but he's still got his church endorsed the legislation. My understanding, and I have not followed all of the ins and outs of what

happened two nights ago. I believe there was an offer on a fifty vote margin for mister Lee to have that kind of amendment. I think this is a series of folks that just don't want this to happen, and they're going to throw up roadblock after roadblock after roadball. Would you let him have a vote on the amendment again, so I would call their fear. My understanding is that that vote was offered. Okay, My understand is they want to try to do it after Thanksgiving. There's a lot

of most of them. If the vote was offered this week, which I believe it was, and I'm sure you your viewers will correct me if I'm wrong with but that was kind of the Yeah, talking with his office, they want to the subble after Thanksgiving, so other than simply trying to delay, Other than simply trying to burn off the clock so that we can't get to things like to get if he had a chance to have the vote on Thursday, why didn't he take the vote? Then? Okay,

let's stop it right now. So there are several things in what he says. First of all, let me point out that Mark Warner. Look, most Democrats are eric and condescending and supercilious, but that nasty little jab that, well, Mike Lee's a member of the Mormon Church. The Mormon Church supports it. I mean, I mean going after Mike on his faith. That's disgusting. Yeah, it's Mark Warner ought

to be embarrassed and ashamed. Now what happened here with the Mormon Church because actually goes on to repeat Mormon Church like nineteen times. Well, unfortunately, there is a senator who supports this bill from the state of Utah, whose name Mit Romney, who happens to have some real juice within the Mormon Church. He's kind of a big deal in Utah. And Mitt Romney has pulled out all the stops lobbying his church, and he convinced one senior figure in the church to put out a statement in favor

of this bill. That senior figure, I'm sorry to say, got terrible legal advice. And if Mitt Romney weren't lobbying the heck out of it, I assume they wouldn't have done the statement, but Mitt was able to get it done. Now, what Shannon Breene there says is the provisions in the bill are toothless, and they are so what the bill is. The Democrats put into the bill language that says nothing in this bill Shelby construed to deny tax exempt status

to any buddy. Now, this is I'm going to explain something to you, and this is why people hate lawyers. Nobody's suggesting the bill is going to deny tax exempt status. What's going to happen is after the bill passes, the Biden IRS is going to deny tax exempt status. And they're gonna say, you know what, it's not the bill doing it, it's us. We are doing it. And so

Mike Lee as drafted an amendment. It's a strong amendment that prohibits the Biden i rs from stripping tax exempt status for any institution based on their views on marriage. That's what the Democrats are blocking. Now, this is an example, and this it's not controversial. What he's asking for is exactly what anyone would ask for in this scenario. They're just terrified that you would take away the power of the RS to then literally destroy conservative Christian religious organizations.

This is an at tax religion. So it is controversial because today's Democrats hate religion liberty. They want to use the irs to go after religious institutions. Mike Lee's amendment would prevent them. Now, you just heard Mark Warner say several times we offered him a vote. And this is where actually verdict takes people inside the Senate in a way, it's really hard if you're not serving in the body

to understand the games that are being played. It's true they did offer a vote, said we'll have a vote on the floor of the Senate a fifty vote threshold should mike Lee's amendment be adopted. Now, here's what will happen. If there's a vote on the Senate floor at a fifty vote threshold, the amendment will fail. Why will it fail? Every Democrat will vote no. They're fifty of them came over and there are also twelve Republicans who are supporting this.

So at a fifty vote threshold. By the way, even if every Republican voted for Mike Lee's amendment, So let's assume best case, all the d's vote no, all the rs vote yes. Kamala Harris chose up cast the tie breaking vote no, and Mike's amendment fails. Now, what Marcus saying is, we'll give you your vote. You little children, now sit down and shut up and let us pass the bill. Well, in order for this bill to pass, there's one more vote that matters, which is the Monday

after Thanksgiving. The final vote is at a sixty vote threshold. They can't pass this bill without sixty senators voting yes. Now, as we discussed on the Friday podcast, twelve Republican Senators

voted yes. Those twelve are Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Tom Tillis of North Carolina, Met Romney of Utah who's leading the charge on this, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore capital of West Virginia, sent the alumnus of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Todd Young of Indiana, Jonie Ernst of Iowa. Those are the twelve. Now I'm going to set aside for a second that several of those are retiring.

Rob Portman's retiring, Roy Blunt's retiring, Richard Burr's retiring, and I find it particularly noxious that retiring Republican senators run and embrace the left on the way out in a way they would be very unlikely to do so if they actually had to run freec Yeah, but you know what, this will be very popular on K Street when they're lobbyists and it's you want to see the swamp, This

is the swamp. But there's another very simple point. If you want to prevent the Biden i rs from targeting and persecuting Christian churches, schools, universities, and charities, three of these twelve need to say to the Democrats either adopt Mike Lee's amendment or we will vote no on cloture on Monday. If three of the twelve grow one vertebrae of a spine. And this is where look my frustration with Republicans. This should not be a hard one. By the way, this should be a very simple three of

the twelves shouldn't even be twelve to start with. It should be trivially simple. And it's the difference between a show vote, if we got the vote, Mark Warners saying we'll give you a vote, We'll give you a vote. That's because he knows they can win the vote. And I'll tell you. I was talking with one of the Democrat leads last week in the Cloak Crew, and that Senator was saying, well, the Democrats won't accept Mike Lee's amendment.

They're just a hard no. Well, you know what, if you don't accept the amendment, the answer ought to be your bill won't pass. And that's our hard no. That's how the game should be played, except Republicans never play hardball. It's a game. It's a charade. Three of those twelve, you can see the twelve, any three of them could say, if you want to pass the bill, you must adopt Mike Lee's amendment. And by the way, the Democrats argue, oh,

our bill already does exactly what Mike Lee's amendment does. Well, if that's the case, it ought to be easy to adopt Mike Lee's amendment. It doesn't. They are lying. And in fact, I'm gonna make a prediction for you right now. If the twelve Republicans decline to stand up to the Democrats and say I will vote no Enclosure unless Mike Lee's amendment is adopted. Not a fake vote, not a pretend show vote. It's adopted in the bill. If that doesn't happen, my prediction is in the next two years.

So Shannon Bream is a graduate of Liberty University, largest Christian university in the country. I'm gonna make a prediction for you. I'm gonna bet you one hundred dollars that if the Republicans can't find a backbone that in the next two years, the Biden Irs will go after Liberty University to strip their tax exempt status. I believe that's what this fight is all about. And the Democrats are playing games, trying to hide from it, and they also

see an opportunity here. You just mentioned it. You go back to the game. They understand that there's some centers that would traditionally say no to this who are retiring, and they can get them to say yes to it. Now. Part of it's the timing. It has to be the timing yes. And by the way, it's designed so that this key vote is the Monday after Thanksgiving. It's what's called the comeback vote. So it's scheduled for five thirty pm on Monday, So everyone flies in and you literally

get off the airplane and come straight to vote. So there's no discussion among Republicans and what they're counting on. Look, I understand why these twelve Republicans voted for this. There's no doubt public views on gay marriage have changed, and there are now a significant percentage of Americans who support gay marriage. And those numbers have changed dramatically. Not too long ago, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton pretended they opposed gay marriage. So I mean, there's no doubt the public

opinion has changed significantly. What I urged my colleagues, I said, listen, if you've decided, as a political matter, you want to say you support gay marriage, I got a suggestion for you. Type up a press release and send it out that says I, Senator so and so embrace gay marriage and think it's awesome, hunky dory, cool, that's all fine. You want to do a press release, knock yourself out, make

your own political determinations on that. This is about empowering the Biden irs to persecute the people they believe that are their enemies. That it's not just the people they deny tax exempt status to these abusive thugs that Biden employees are going to go to one hundred different schools and universities and charities and demand change your position, abandon what you believe your faith teaches you must embrace gay marriage,

or else will deny your tax exempt status. So they may only get and try to survive without that taxes status business. None of these universities or schools will be able to make it if they lose their taxes emptasks. Just like many of the churches in the country, if they lost their taxes EMP status, they would no longer be able to afford to even the property taxes of the church and where it is in their city. And it's not just TAXESEMP status, it's you're ineligible for any

government benefits, You're ineligible for any government contracts. So what did the city of Philadelphia try to do? Catholic charities can't do adoptions now that got struck down in court, but this bill could change that. That's what makes this so dangerous. Look, you know, a university that refuses to knuckle under this administration could say no student can get a pell grant to go to your university. We're going

to cut off. It's not just tax exempt status. We're going to use the muscle of the federal government to persecute you, And for the life of me, I don't understand why anyone, much less twelve Republicans would be part and parcel of empower the Biden Irs to persecute people of faith. Vertical listeners are very engaged. They like to get involved. What is the ask of listeners right now to what can they do to try to stop this? Is it to go at the only way center stuff?

Is it to call your friends in these states and say call these senators and and specifically because I get this all the time and you do too, But people say, what am I asking for? Is it you're demanding the mic Le Amendment? That this is you must adopt that. The only way it gets stopped and it being the threat of the Biden Irs targeting and persecuting people of

faith is if the mic Le Amendment is adopted. And so I believe all twelve of those Republicans should say we will vote no on cloture the sixty vote threshold YEP, unless the mic Lee Amendment is adopted. And by the way, all twelve of those Republicans say, oh, we want the religious liberty protection, so they that's what they're saying. So to make what they're saying true. We need three of those twelve to say I'm a non cloture unless the

Micaly Amendment is adopted. You now know your marching orders. If you're a listener to verdict, this is exactly why we do the show. You need to get involved. Call your centers. You know what you're asking for their especially if you have family and friends in these states, you need to let them know and tell them this is what we have to do, and it has to be done very quickly because this is going to happen right after Thanksgiving. It's going to happen a week from today.

It will be the Monday after Thanksgiving at five thirty pm. By six pm, they will either have sixty votes or they won't. And this is what they think of the American people. I want to be clear on purpose, because they think you're not paying attention. They're hoping you're not paying attention, and they're right. A lot of people take your week off, a lot of people spend time with their family. You're going to see your family. My family's come to see me. Everybody operates pretty much in that

same world. You take a few days off, you hang out with your family, you make memories, and you usually are disconnected from what's happening politically. That's why they make the first vote five thirty, when you come back from the day after Thanksgiving. Well, and sometimes those votes are non consequential, sometimes it's a non controversial district judge or something. But the decision to put this vote on the comeback vote, they don't want the twelve Republicans to feel any heat.

And so the calculus, if you're a Republican doing this, you'll get praise from the donor world. The people who write checks, they love this vote. They want you to go hard left. They're perfectly fine. Most of the donor world is perfectly fine with Republicans screwing people of faith. It's the activists in the base that, you know, wonder of wonders, actually care about protecting our religious liberty, and

we'll hold people to account. And what Chuck Schumer is counting on is that most of the activists in the base are going to be eating turkey and stuffing, which I'm looking forward eating turkey and stuffing, sure, but not actually engage in the fight till it's a done deal and it's all over. It is not all over. And three of those twelve Republican Senators could insist Mike Lee's amendment was adopted, and if that would happen, the Biden

i rs would not be able to persecute people of faith. Senator. One of the most exciting things about Verdict and growing going to three days a week. A lot of people that actually watched the podcast once a week they watch it. They may not realize you can get this podcast two audio shows on top of that, we did breaking news for example, this weekend, we did a special podcast talking about what had happened with them decide to have a

special prosecutor going after Donald Trump. But the numbers have been growing and people are using this podcast to inform their friends, but also to drive the news that we just talked about on Fox News Sunday. And that's why you wanted to do this in the first place. And it's actually happening, which I love. Yeah. Look, this podcast d drives news in a way that very few of any podcasts do. We've been at this point multiple times.

The White House Press Secretary has had to respond to Verdict from the podium in the White House Press briefing. You can see the Sunday shows are being driven by by this podcast. And one of the reason is the numbers, and the numbers are remarkable. So let's take last week. Last week, we had between seven hundred thousand and eight

hundred thousand downloads, that's just last week. How does that compare to TV News, Well, CNN averages for the total day six hundred and fifty eight thousand, So we're beating CNN. They're average in any given day. How about primetime, Well, CNN's primetime averages six hundred and fifty five thousand. What

about particular shows? Wolf Blitzer, wolf Blitzer is six PM show averages seven hundred and fifty thousand, So so we're right there with Wolf, Aaron Burnett seven hundred and eighty eight thousand, We're right there with Aaron Anderson Cooper eight hundred and twenty nine thousand, Right, congratulations Anderson, you're about twenty nine thousand above where it were last week. Yeah,

And that dynamic is is very simple. When we are regularly, week after week after week beating CNN across their lineup, across their prime time lineup, that is a testament to our listeners, to our viewers, and it's why I think the reason is this podcast has content you can't get anywhere else. Yeah, you can't understand. Look you look at that segment where Mark Warner is spinning like crazy and is dissembling, and he just says, anyone who disagrees is lying.

Now note he doesn't actually discuss the language of the statute, He doesn't discuss the micly amendment. He just screams when we convinced his church's support it sohaha to understand. And by the way, you know, someone thinking, well, they offered a vote, I don't understand what's wrong with that. This show explains what the games are that are being played by the corrupt players in Washington. We've made it easy.

There's a lot of people that come to me and have said, hey, I watched the show, How do I get the other two? How do I download a podcast? The easiest way that you can get the podcasts, and we've tried to make it easies, you can actually just text the word verdict to two four zero zero five. I want to make sure everybody has that. So if you only watch the podcasts and you want to get those two other audio versions, you just text the word verdict to two four zero zero five. We will send

you a link. The podcast is free, doesn't cost you a dime. You can subscribe to it, get it three times a week, and I've had a lot of people come going, how do I get the other ones? That's how easy we've tried to make it for people to be able to grab it. I want to get also into There were some very interesting dynamics this week that have changed in Washington. Democrats are terrified Republicans taking over

the House. We've talked about that a little bit last week, but now what we've seen is now they're going for revenge. They're going for the jugular, They're going after Donald Trump. They're afraid that we're going to expose the FBI and expose the DJ for their corruption. Now I want to go to Jim or because he made an accusation this week about the FBI, the DJ just saying, can you

guys stay out of our elections? And I want you to watch us and then get your reaction, because I think he's on to a point now that he realizes that they are actively trying to interfere in our elections every single time there is an election. Undoubtedly, the FBI going to quit interfering with elections. Twenty sixteen, they spied on President Trump's campaign, twenty eighteen, it was the Muller investigation. Twenty twenty, They suppressed information about the Hunter Biden story.

Twenty twenty two, they rated the president's home ninety one days before an election. Maybe it'd be nice if the FBI, the Justice Department just stayed out of it. Let we the people decide who we think should represent us, who we think should lead us. That's supposed to be how America works. So this is the focus on the Judiciary Committee, the political nature at the Justice Department, and the linkage now to what was happening with the Hunter Biden's story. Again,

just fifteen days before we have presidential elections. You know, you look at the president, he announces form President Trump, he's going to run, and they immediately say, okay, watch this, We're gonna have a special prosecutor. We still do not have a special prosecutor for all of the crimes that have been laid out. James Comber made it very clear this week he's accusing now Joe Biden of committing major crimes.

And you have now this dynamic where the DJ and the FBI are saying you don't screw with us, you don't call us out, We'll come after you, will come raid your house. We don't care if you're a former president or not. You don't ever call us out at the top leadership. Well, look what Jim Jordan is saying there is exactly right. And as you know, it's the topic of my brand new book, Justice Corrupted, How the Left is weaponized the legal system. Barack Obama did this.

He turned the Department of Justice and the FBI into his partisan enforcers, and he appointed people. He appointed Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch who were perfectly happy to be brazenly political, and the FBI. They now use the FBI as their stormtroopers. I got to tell you,

by the way, Ben, I hear all the time. This past week, I heard from an FBI agent who pulled me aside and said, look, there are so many of us, so many agents who are so upset about what's happening to the FBI that it's being turned political, and were horrified. But this agent also told me they were afraid to speak out. They didn't want to lose their job. And they said, look, I feel like if I say anything, I'll be fired. It is a culture of a timidation.

It is a culture of hard partisans. And I got to say, I'm very glad that Jim Jordan in the House are going to investigate the politicization of the Department of Justice and the FBI because they are trying to influence election. Let's be clear, they know what they're doing. They know that when they as the FBI did, when they ask Facebook please suppress any discussion of Hunter Biden's laptop before the twenty twenty election, they say, this looks

like Russian disinformation. Well, it wasn't Russian disinformation. It was true, it was factual, and they knew that, but they knew that it was politically harmful to Joe Biden and the oligarchs and big Tech said more than happy to comply. The FBI should not be influencing elections, the dj should not be influencing elections. And Merrick Garland is the most corrupt Attorney general we've ever seen in terms of being willing to corrupt the Department of Justice and FBI and

use them as political weapons. And the fact that his response Donald Trump announced for president, Okay, I'm appointing in a special prosecutor. We're going to indict you. That's politics, it's not justice. I go back to Garland. You and I mentioned this the other day, but I think it's worth revisiting. Garland is a guy that was very upset because he truly believes now he should be on the Supreme Court. He understands he's yeah, I mean very glad, he's not, but he's very angry, and it's like it's

an obsession. I believe he's gone to the point of being a psychopath where it's like, all right, you guys didn't let me have my vote, you didn't let me get on the Supreme Court. There's going to be hell to pay forever and ever and ever. Amen, as long as I have this opportunity to stick it to you, and I'm going to come out and I'm going to do everything I can to undermine you as a party or anybody in the Republican Party that gets in my way. So I'm going to press back on you a little bit.

I wouldn't use a word like psychopath. I think it's a combination of things. I don't know Merrit Gar. I've met him a couple of times, but I don't know him very well. Personally, I think he's a weak man. I think he's unwilling to stand up to the partisan hacks in the White House. So you think it's more of a top down thing. I think the White House is the corruption. The fish rots from the head. It

is the Biden White House that is fundamentally corrupt. But I do think merit Garland is different from an Eric Holder or a Lauretta Lynch who were deep partisans. I actually think Garland justifies to himself what he's doing. I think he believes he's not being partisan. Wow. I think he's drunk the kool aid so much that that he's He's someone who's very self righteous. And does he have a grievance because he was denied the Supreme Court? Yes? Or a feelings hurt deeply, I'm sure. Although I'm not

an armchair psychologist, even though we're sitting in armchairs. Um, I don't know. I ain't a shrink, but my sense of it, you look at something like something we've discussed at great length, using the FBI to target parents who speak up at school boards. I think the Biden White House told him to do it, and he just was happy to roll over, and he justified to himself, well, it's just fine. I'm just asking them to investigate, and

you know that there's there's nothing about that. I think he is fundamentally a weak man who will not push back against anything the White House demand. And you got to understand, it's not just the AG There are all these hard partisans that are burrowed into senior positions of the Department of Justice, senior positions at the FBI, who are driving partisan outcomes, and I think Merrick Garland is all too happy to comply. And the consequence, I believe,

and I detail this in my book Justice Corrupted. Merrick Garland has done more to undermine the integrity of the Department of Justice than any Attorney general in history. And included within that is John Mitchell, who was Nixon's Attorney General who resigned in disgrace and went to prison. Let's talk about the strategy of Republicans in the House. I got to give him some credit so far. A lot of times we get power and we screw it up.

We've seen it happen over and over again. We don't go all in like Democrats do, the way that Jim Jordan's came out the way that James Comer came out. James is doing something. I think it's very interesting. He's actually saying, here are crimes we believe that the pres it was a part of. Take a look what's the blowers described. President Biden is chairman of the board for these businesses. He personally participated in meetings and phone calls.

Documents showed that he was a partner with access to an office. To be clear, Joe Biden is the big guy. This evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised by foreign government. Despite the President's claim that he wasn't involved in Biden family business schemes, these photos showed Joe Biden meeting with his family associates while Vice president. I mean he was selling out the White House the entire

time when he had access to as the vice president. Clearly, I think he's doing the exact same thing now. But is he a threat do you believe to our national security based on the way that he described it, Yeah, of course he is. And let me command Comer and how the House is starting to begin these investigations because

the focus needs to be on Joe Biden. This is not about Hunter Biden anymore than if you're going after the mafia and you catch some low level enforcer or you're going after a drug cartel and you catch some mule who swallowed balloons full of heroin. It's not about the porsche lub who got caught. Yeah, it's about the boss. It's about the big guy. It's about the godfather. Joe Biden is the godfather. He is the one who ultimately

is profiting on this corruption. He is the one who is abusing official authority to further the criminal activity of his family members. And that's why this is an issue of public corruption. So DJ, going back again to the politicization of DJ, they desperately want to keep this on. Oh look, Hunter Biden has a drug problem. You know what. We wouldn't be talking about it if it was just

one undeply troubled soul. The reason we should talk about it, and the reason why the corporate media and the Democrats desperately don't want to talk about it is there is now growing evidence of corruption from Joe Biden himself when he was Vice president of the United States and now when he's President of the United States personally enriching himself, enriching his family, by selling official favors to enemies, hostile

foreign governments. That is an issue of highest importance, and the Democrats and the media desperately want to cover it up. Fifty different countries they were trying to do business in. I was shocked by that number, coming from whistle blowers, all those backed up now by the emails from the bagman and Hunter Biden, James Biden. This wasn't just Russia

and just China and just Ukraine. Fifty different nations basically means you go out and you just throw hooks in the water anywhere you can to get your hands on some cash and whoever is willing to basically play the game, the Biden game, give us money, We'll give you access. What do you want how much? I didn't even think I could get this bad, And yet here we are talking about at fifty nations as they laid out this week. Well, I think what is being laid out as the agenda

for oversight in the House is incredibly important. And you know what it also is. It's an indictment of the Department of Justice because Merrick Garland doesn't want to look into any of that because you know what, he works for the big guy too. He's the political enforcer that pretends to be the cop. And so somebody is focused on rule of law, and that's going to have to be the House of Representatives. By the way, in the Senate,

Senate Democrats on Judiciary Committee has zero interest. They don't care what evidence there is of official corruption of Joe Biden. They are partisan's first, second, third, and every day of the week you bring up corruption, we gotta go into the cryptocurrency disaster. Some people may say this is inside baseball. I don't really care. Here's why you should care. You've got a guy who's young. You have a guy that's literally been asked by Democrats come to Washington and to

help them regulate the cryptocurrency industry. He happens to become the second largest donor of anyone in this last cycle that we just had the midterm elections as a donor the Democratic Party. Who is number one, I don't even know who number George Soros. There you go, so he barely, you know, doesn't beat out George Soros, but he out of nowhere becomes a second largest donor. He also planned to quote, in his words, be a billionaire donor to

the Democratic Party in twenty twenty four. Let me tweak that slightly. It's not a billionaire donor. It is to donate over one billion dollars to electing Democrats in twenty twenty four. Yeah, you know, he put over ten million dollars in Joe Biden's campaign. Sam Bankman freed. The evidence

right now that is coming out is incredibly damning. It is evidence that suggests a Bernie made Off style fraud and Enron style fraud that cost investors billions of dollars, and he in turn invested quite wisely in supporting Democrat politicians who would essentially greenwash what he's doing because they

like his money, they would give cover for him. Now there will be countless lawsuits, there will be investigations, and if the evidence backs up what seems to be the case right now that it was fraud, that it was deliberate fraud, I assume he is going to be prosecuted for engaging in fraud. My question to you right now, is Joe Biden going to return the cash over ten

million dollars to Joe Biden to the big guy. Now, mind you, the big guys willing to take cash from communist China, the big guys to take cash from countries all over the world. Is the big guy willing to take cash from someone right now with serious, credible evidence of massive fraud that caused billions of dollars of harm. And every other Democrat who cash the checks, will they give it back? And I'll tell you what, don't give it back to him, give it to the victims of

the fraud. Yeah, let's start with Joe Biden saying I was wrong to take ten million dollars and I'm going to give it to the people who got screwed. And by the way, who are some of the people that got screwed. There were pension funds that invested with FTX. That means they're little old ladies. That means they're people whose savings were damaged. And Joe Biden and the Democrats were complicit. And it will they give the money back? And I'll give you one response to that, don't hold

your breath. Yeah, even Maxing Waters, she brought him into the house. There's video that now has gone viral that we've been able to find. And I want to play this because this is literally her looking at this scumbag blowing him a kiss. Is a guy that's advising her on how to regulate or should they not regulate the cryptocurrency industry. Take a look at this her blowing him a kiss and just saying, Oh, we love you so much, thanks for coming out there. She is on the left.

You see him with a big hair on the right. Blow a kiss, thanks for coming. She's asked, by the way, because she got a lot of his cash. She was asked by a reporter, Hey, are you going to give away back this money that he gave you? And look at her response. I think some lawmakers that got donations from ftx's founder should give that money back. Well, I don't want to get into that. I don't want to get into that. No, of course, sure she doesn't want to get into obviously not. I wouldn't want to talk

about it either if I were her. When you've been taking cash from someone who has been implicated as front and center in a massive fraud, it's not good to be funded by them, And I want to highlight something. So Sam Bankman Freed, perhaps unintentionally, has been really explicit in admitting the complete fraud that eesg and all of these lefty woke policies are in the business world today.

And he recently had a series of direct messages with a reporter, so he's in Bahamas, at his company headquarters in Bahamas, and the reporter says, quote, you were really good at talking about ethics for someone who kind of saw it all as a game with winners and losers. And here's Sam Bankman Freed's response, Yeah, he he, I had to be. It's what reputations are made of. To some extent, I feel bad for those who get fed

by it. Although he didn't abbreviate FT. But this dumb game, we woke Westerner's play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us. I want to read that again because that is one of the most candid statements. At least he's honest by this dumb game, we woke Westerner's play where we say all the right shibboleths so everyone likes us. Look, Harvey Weinstein did this. Yeah, I'm

sexually assaulting and raping women. But you know what I give to Bill Clinton and Democrats, So I got to be all right, that's what Sam Bankman Freed was doing. It was pay in protection. When he cut ten million dollars to the Biden campaign, it's ten percent of the big guy. And by the way, Sam Bankman Fried was making twenty thirty billion dollars at one point. He was worth twenty billion personally, now bankrupt, but he was worth this. It reminds me of narcis. You and I have talked

about this. You pay everybody in the government so the government lets you keep selling your drugs. His just ha to be a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme and it wasn't just

money directly. I think this is important. Bankman Freed and his co founders also donated over three hundred thousand dollars to nine lawmakers of the House Financial Services Committee, which is charged with regulating him, in essence, who are now investigating the company for wrongdoing, having a press conference about it, and then he doesn't want to get into Yeah, I

don't want to get to that. And also donated five million dollars to a superpack outside direct contributions, a superpack that supported Biden in twenty twenty, so five million dollars went to elect Joe Biden in twenty twenty and then another forty million this cycle alone, largely to Democrats. He contributed six million to the House Majority Pack Democrats, a million to the House Senate Majority Pack, and nearly nine

hundred thousand to the Democratic National Committee. That isn't even just that's not even all of who he gave money to. But that's just one of the highlights. His helps run a giant dark money Democrat fund as well. So that's the money you know about it. It's not the additional money that he was giving. And this is not different from paying protection funds. And he admits that, he admits

he doesn't even believe all of his woke posturing. But Democrats and the corrupt media and they treated him, you know, CNBC described him as the next Steve Jobs, the next Warren Buffett. I mean, I mean they because he embraced lefty causes. They gave him protection, the guy who started barstool Sports. He's pretty flamboyant, pretty blunt, does some great

pizza reviews. He went on Fox News Channel this week and basically called out the media and the Democrat establishment, saying, if you guys don't report on this story, you're pretty much all scumbags and a part of it, because we all knew it was happening. And he says, look, I'm involved in gambling and online gambling for goodness sakes, but I'm regulating to the hills. They know everything of invested in where all my money goes. And this is what he had to say about the Democrats in the media.

The thing that's shocking to I mean, I'm in the gambling field, were rigorously regulated, like they know what I did twenty years ago. Yes, everything. If I do one thing weird, I hear about it. There's companies writing articles. We knew this guy was in the Bahamas. Why because unregulated, living in basically a Paula Morris penthouse with like twenty people who were all having sex with each other, running

this and it was well known. I mean, if somebody did that in the United States and meanwhile he's comporting with politicians at the highest level of government, the fact he wasn't investigated, to me, just shows what a lot of this country's all about. People just trying to make money. They're being dishonest, they're saying the right things to make money, and he's lining everybody's pockets. It wasn't obvious to me.

But if you're meeting with Gensler and you're meeting with politicians, I don't know how in a million years they didn't know that he's obviously mad. It goes back to the text messages that you read a moment ago. How candid this guy's mean. It's like, look, I know the game. I got to dinner with Democrats, I hang out with Democrats. They look the other way. I get to live like I'm a billionaire in a Ponzi scheme, and they'll never

figure it out. Look, it is like Jeffrey Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, who was an original fob friend of Bill flew Bill Clinton repeatedly on the lad Express. Now, Jeffrey Epstein, we now know of his repeated pedophilia and sex with children, and you know it was a massive Democrat fundraiser. And yet how is it that we don't have the client book still to this day. Look, we need to know the clients, and you know, and you know why, because they don't want the clients made public. They don't want

them prosecuted. Because if you say the right things to Democrats in the media, they'll cover up for you. It's the same business. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein had and I think it was the living room of his New York, New York brownstone or was it in a giant oil painting of Bill Clinton wearing a blue dresser high heels. It's really quite a traumatic image. It's not something if you see it you'll want to burn your eyes with bleach. But he had it hanging on his wall.

You know, I'm reminded of jud Judiciary Committee hearing where John Kennedy, my my, my good friend, with one heck of a sense of humor, he leans forward and he goes Christmas tree ornaments and Jeffrey Epstein, two things you know, didn't hang themselves there. It is last question for you if the Democratic Party doesn't give back the money and the Democratic candidates that took money, and if we have

a real media, they will call on the Democrats. Put up the numbers, put up every dollar each Democrat has had, and they will ask them like they did, like Fox asked Maxine Waters. But where's CNN, where's MSNBC? She goes on those shows all the time? The opening question. Anytime a Democrat who's catch those checks goes on the show, shouldn't the opening question. Come on, CNN, let's see your great courage opening question or giving back the money has asked to head the DNC. I mean, this is not

a little bit of money. This is a lot of money that went to the Democratic National Committee. If they don't give back this money, are they in essence complicit in this Ponzi scheme? In your opinion, yes, there it is. I think it's a great way to end the show today. I'll say it to you. Don't forget. Make sure you run a five star review for us.
