Panic Over Hunter Biden, plus Clarence Thomas Smear and with Title 42 Expiring, Border Will Get Even Worse

end of Title forty two and what's happening at the border. Senator, I want to get your initial response to the ex spy and this is really big news behind the discredit Hunter Biden letter claiming that that laptop was Russian disinformation said he wanted to provide the Biden campaign with a debate talking point quote unquote your reaction to that.

Dan Coates. Mike Rogers and Tom Bossert, and lists of other ic career folks trying to give the campaign, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue. Thanks Michael, And here's Brennan's entire response. Okay, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative, Thanks for asking me to sign on. This was politics, This was senior officials of the intelligence community lying for politics. Give Biden a debate talking point. Never

mind that it's a lie. Falsely claim the true information in Hunter Biden's laptop is actually Russian disinformation because they know Biden will be all all the happy to lie about it. And by the way, who is John Brennan. John Brennan was Obama's CIA director. Who is such a radical that when he was a young man, nineteen eighty election between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, do you know who John Brennan voted for.

Give me the full fledged communist. And you know, one of the things communists are happy to do lie, lie when it helps them politically. Actually, communists embrace lying as one of the tools they engage in. That is who Tony Blinken, who got rewarded with Secretary of State. That's who Tony Blinken was rounding up. Give me the communist wh run the CIA. You know, it's sort of like, let's call Mikey, he'll eat anything. Let's call John He'll

say anything. And they got their talking point at the debate, and Biden was more than happy to repeat it, even though it was an utter and complete lie.

I do TV hits. You do also, you're doing a six minute hit, an eight minute hit. You can get a little talking point in, you can say something, a brief little a line that's catchy, maybe a tiny little vignette. But that's it. A big part of the reason I like the podcast format is, you actually have the ability to discuss something of substance. So we're going to sit down with Jim Jordan and say, let's talk about this. What's this about? What are the issues, what are the facts,

what do we know? What do we need to and so if you really want to understand all of the evidence of corruption surrounding Joe Biden, both in his time as vice president and his time as president, Wednesday's podcast is going to be one you won't want to miss because we're going to walk through the details carefully, in clear, understandable ways.

headline number two. All right, let me just give you one more headline number three, Biden's setting stage for pardoning Hunter as he frames potential DOJ charges as political witch hunt. Biden denied that a potential Hunter indictment would have any impact on his presidency. That's from Fox News. Again, just in the past couple of days. This is getting worse

and worse and worse. And the amazing thing is this is all why while DOJ is desperately trying to cover up the connection to the big guy to they're trying to put it all on Hunter, the poor troubled soul, and protect against any investigation into the real corruption that is the matter of public concern.

was dealt with Clarence Thomas. We talked about it, had a special guest talking about Clarence Thomas. The attack on Clarence Thomas was going to happen. We knew that next day by Democrats.

take down Clarence Thomas. I want to play for everybody because it was just so brilliant you exposing just some of these lies before Congress as Democrats were gearing up and they want to get rid of Clarence Thomas.

political campaign. Number one, to delegitimize the Supreme Court of the United States because they are angry that they're a majority of constitutionalists on the Court. But number two, very directly, this is a political campaign designed to smear Justice Clarence Thomas. And the reason is simple. The Left despises Clarence Thomas. And they do not despise him because he's a conservative. The left despises Clarence Thomas because he is a conservative

African American. Here's what Clarence Thomas said at that confirmation hearing, he said, if you are a free thinking African American, quote, you will be lynched, destroyed, and caricatured by a committee of the US Senate. Well, in three decades, that hasn't changed, and it's gotten worse. And to be clear, here's the left's view. I point to one article just three weeks ago. The Democrats need to destroy Clarence Thomas's reputation. They'll never

successfully impeach him. But so what make him a metaphor for every insidious thing the far right has done to this country. That's what the left is trying to do. And I will tell you if you look at the next poster board. The left has repeatedly attacked Clarence Thomas with a racism. This is a magazine cover that showed Justice Scalia every bit as conservative as Clarence Thomas, but he's portrayed as the master, and Clarence Thomas, in a

bigoted attack, is portrayed as shining his shoes. I'll show you another one to give you a sense of the racist vitriol from the left. Here's a racist caricature of Clarence Thomas. Lon jockey for the far right. This is the bigoted contempt the left has. I'll show you another another magazine cover offensively. This is how the left views Clarence Thomas. Now, it's important for people at home to understand this is not about judicial ethics. You can take

those down. This is not about judicial ethics. This is not about rules that should apply to judges across the board. We could have a reasonable discussion about that. This is about applying a double standard to Clarence Thomas and only Clarence Thomas. The attack that my Democrat colleagues breathlessly repeat is that Clarence Thomas stayed at the vacation home of a very close friend of his, a successful Texas businessman,

flew on his plane and went on his yacht. Well, if that's the standard going and traveling and being paid for by others, then guess what. Just about every Supreme Court justice has done so, and done so in much greater numbers. Justice Thomas was appointed in nineteen ninety one. In the time since then, he's taken one hundred and nine reported trips, five international trips. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

was appointed in nineteen ninety three, two years later. In the time she was on the court, she took one hundred and fifty seven trips, including twenty eight international trips. Mister Payne, Yes or no. Do you think Ruth bader Ginsburg was corrupt? No, nor do I. Ruth bader Ginsburg was not alone. Justice Stephen Bryer, appointed the year later in nineteen ninety four, took two hundred and thirty three reported trips, including sixty three international trips. Again, yes or no,

mister Payne, do you think Stephen Bryer was corrupt? No, nor do I. I would point out Justice Kagan has done the same thing. Justice so too, my ore has done the same thing. And yet none of my Democrat colleagues care, because this is a political attack directed at a justice they hate. And by the way, let's spend a moment focusing on Justice Stephen Brier, a delightful human being, someone I know personally, someone who served decades on the Court.

Justice Stephen Bryer repeatedly traveled on the penny of a prominent Democratic billionaire, the Pritzker family. Now JB. Pritzner is the Democrat governor of the state of Illinois, from which our chairman hails I would be shocked if the chairman of this committee has not had multiple meals with the Pritzker family. Justice Bryer was a longtime member of the board that awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Now what did that mean? That meant Justice Bryar traveled on the dime

of these Democrat billionaires. In twenty nineteen, Justice Briar traveled to New York City, to Vancouver and Paris. In twenty eighteen, Justice Bryar traveled to Ireland and Spain. In twenty sixteen, he traveled to New York, Spain and France. In twenty thirteen, he traveled to Norway, Sweden, Denmark. In twenty twelve, he traveled to Beijing and to London. All of this paid for by the Pritzker Foundation. Now, none of my Democrat colleagues are mad about this, And let me be clear,

I'm not suggesting Justice Bryer is corrupt. What I'm suggesting is this committee is corrupt because this is a kangaroo circuit circus. And I will note we had fifteen Senate Democrats, including six members of this committee, send a letter to the Appropriations Committee threatening to cut off the funding for security at the Supreme Court. The left is willing to threaten the lives of the justices. Justice Samuel Alito this weekend, and the Wall Street Journal said that the attacks directed

at the justices are making them targets of assassination. This is disgraceful. Every Senator who signed this letter should be embarrassed. Mister Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to this letter be admitted into the record, and also that the interview with Justice Alito from this weekend being entered into the record. Democrats can have disagreements based on law, but this attempt to delegitimize the court, this attempt to personally smear Clarence Thomas,

is dishonest. And everyone in the media echoing it is participating in a shameful report. Prize of nineteen ninety one high Tech.

out before the hearing and judiciary. That pod provided in great detail some of the background on Clarence Thomas as to why the charges weren't accurate, and I got to say, it really was striking because the hearing did not go the way the Democrats wanted, and by the end of it, the Democrat senators had fled the room. They realized their hypocrisy had come out, and they wanted it to be just a slugfest beating up on Justice Thomas.

This is just like if you're running a campaign for governor or senator or president. The other side has an OPA research department. They're putting out a daily attack and they are running a campaign against Clarence Thomas. And to be clear, let's be very clear what their objective is. Their objective is to destroy Justice Thomas. Let me read you a little bit from an opinion column than the

Washington Post by Ruth Marcus, the associate editor. The title is Clarence Thomas should get out his checkbook and reimburse Harlan Crow. The opening line of it is the Clarence Thomas story has now entered the Abe Fortis danger zone. Now, who is abe Fortis? Abe Fortis is a Supreme Court justice who resigned in disgrace because of corruption. That's what the left wants, and that's the analogy we're hearing lots and lots of people tell the story of abe Fortis.

Why the left is convinced themselves if they can relentlessly drag Justice Thomas through the mud, at some point he'll surrender and go away, and they can replace one of the greatest constitutionalists ever with a left wing activist who will undermine the Constitution and implement and force the left's radical agenda on the American people. That's what they're trying to do. By the way, you know, it's very interesting the post says Clarence Thomas should reimburse Harlan Crowe. You

know what they didn't say. They didn't say Stephen Brier should reimburse the Pritzkers. They didn't say Ruth Bader Ginsburg should reimburse everyone who paid for her trips. They didn't say Sonya Sotomayor should reimburse everyone who paid for her trips. They didn't say Elena Kagan should reimburse everyone who paid for her trips. This is designed to be a very deliberate attack going directly at at Clarence Thomas. And so

now they've launched yet another attack. And the latest attack, which they saved until after the hearing so that there would not be a forum to provide the response to it, is that this same Texan Harlan Crowe, also paid thousands of dollars of tuition payments. And then this is now what has the left clutching their pearls. Now, let's talk

about the facts. So Clarence Thomas and his wife Jenny spent twelve years helping not their son, not their brother, but rather their great nephew, an individual named Mark Martin who was in trouble. He was in real need, and Clarence Thomas and Jenny Thomas stepped forward heroically to raise their great nephew and to raise him and to take

care of him. And this is what the Left is targeting, is that for a period of time, Harlan Crowe paid tuition payments to the schools where the Thomas's great nephew was attending. Now, I want to go back Tuesday's podcast. We interviewed Mark Paoletta, who has been doing just such an incredible job defending Justice Thomas and putting the facts out.

And I want to do a little bit of an in depth examination of the statement Mark Paoletta put out on this attack on the toy payments, because it's important to understand. So I'm reading from the statement of Mark Palett, a friend of Justice Thomas quote. The Thomases have rarely spoken publicly about the remarkably generous efforts to help a child in need. They've always respected the privacy of this

young man and his family. It is disappointing and painful, but unsurprising that some journalists and critics cannot do the same. The Thomases quietly and honorably devoted twelve years of their lives to helping a beloved child in desperate need of love, support, and guidance. In nineteen ninety seven, Justice Thomas and his wife brought their great nephew to live with them. They agreed to take in this young child much as Justice Thomas's grandparents had done for him and his brother in

nineteen fifty five. Justice Thomas's grandparents changed the trajectory of his life, and the Thomass hoped to do the same for a child in need. Justice Thomas and his wife made immeasurable personal and financial sacrifices and poured every ounce of their lives and hearts into giving their great nephew a chance to succeed. In the summer of two thousand and six, the Thomases were struggling to find a school

where they could send their great nephew. In discussing these challenges with their dear friends Harlan and Kathy grow, Harlan recommended that the Thomases consider one more option. Sending their great nephew to Randolph Macon Academy. Harlan had attended Randolph Macon and he thought the school would be a good fit. Harlan had financially supported Randolph Macon since the nineteen eighties and had funded scholarships for students from disadvantage ban backgrounds.

Harland offered to pay the first year of Justice Thomas's great nephew's tuition in two thousand and six, and that payment went directly to the school. Harlan Crowe's office confirmed that he did not pay the great nephew's tuition for any other year at Randolph Macon. After some time, Randolph Macon recommended the great nephew attend a boarding school in

Georgia for one year. Harland offered to pay the first year of tuition for their great nephew at the Georgia school, and again those tuition payments went directly to the school by the next year. By the next school year, two thousand and nine, the Thomas's great nephew returned to Randolph Macon. He moved back to Savannah and December two thousand and nine, after he turned eighteen. The Thomases love their great nephew. It is despicable that the presses dragged him into their

effort to smear Justice Thomas. This story is another attempt to manufacture a scandal about Justice Thomas. But let's be clear about what is supposedly scandalous. Now, Justice Thomas and his wife devoted twelve years of their life to taking in and caring for a beloved child who was not there own Justice Justice Thomas's grandparents had done for him. They made many personal and financial sacrifices to do this, and along the way, their friends joined them in doing

everything possible to give this child a future. Harlan Crow's tuition payments made directly to these schools on behalf of Justice Thomas's great nephew did not constitute a reportable gift. Now, this is where it's getting into the specific legal charge, because the Left is claiming, aha, you did not report this,

So listen to the clear legal analysis. Justice Thomas was not required to disclose the tuition payments made directly to Randolph Macon and the Georgia School on behalf of his great nephew because the definition of a quote dependent child under the Ethics and Government Act, which is five USC. Thirteen one oh one. Section two does not include a great nephew. It is limited to a quote son, daughter, stepson,

or stepdaughter. Justice Thomas never asked Harlan Crow to pay for his great nephew's tuition, and neither Harlan Crowe nor his company had any business before the Supreme Court. This malicious story shows nothing except for the fact that the Thomases and the Crows are kind, generous and loving people who tried to help this young man. Now there are two really important things in there. Ben One is the

personal story. He had a story of generosity, a story of caring for a child in need, a child who was not their responsibility, was not their child, but they stepped forward for a dozen years to help their great nephew. But secondly, the whole legal hook, as they say, well, gosh, Justice Thomas should have reported this on his financial disclosure. The law is clear you have to disclose a payment for a dependent child. And the statute I want to

read read this again. The statute defines a dependent child as quote. The term dependent child means, when used with respect to any reporting individual, any individual who is a son, daughter, step son, or stepdaughter. By the way, that same definition doesn't just apply to judges. That applies a lot of

other places, including to Congress. Do you know right now that if you Ben Ferguson decided you wanted to give a million dollars to the great nephew of Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer would not have to report that because the reporting requirements do not extend to great nephews. Now, I don't know if Schumer has a great nephew, and I wouldn't advise giving you a million bucks if he does.

but the racial side of this. They hate Clarence Thomas, I think honestly because he's an African American man yep, who has not gone to the little wolk left, and therefore he's such a big threat they want to be done with him for that reason as well.

a leftist, you don't get to be hispanic. Look, we did an earlier podcast where Don Lemon, before he got fired for saying idiotic things like this, described how Nicki Haley was past her prime and he gave nasty, misogynistic statements about a woman as in her prime in her twenties or thirties, which is idiotic, but in a certain leftist logic it made sense because to the hard left Nicki Haley is not a woman. You don't count in whatever category you are, whether it's African American or Hispanic

or woman. The left's view is they own you if you're in any one of those categories, and if you dare disagree from their ideology, you have lost any right to fall within that category. And so you know, my dad who came as a penniless immigrant from Cuba, not speaking English, Nope, not Hispanic doesn't count. That's their view. And Clarence Thomas, I don't know that there is an

individual more despised by the left than Clarence Thomas. Donald Trump is close, and it's a different sort of hatred, but they might well be running neck and neck.

And the people whacking the pinata are are the Democrats, are the media and all of their cheerleaders. And so it's got to be the rest of us providing the truth and the facts to counterbalance this very coordinated and very well funded attack.

House is doing. Before we get an update on where we are there, I want to tell you about our friends at Patriot Mobile. If you're like me and you're just sick and tired of giving your money to companies woke companies that frankly are obsessed with going against your values. Then take a bill that you have every month and give it and stand with a conservative Christian company that

actually stands up for what you believe in. For years, big mobile companies have been dumping millions into leftist causes, and we didn't have an option. It just didn't exist. Well, now it does. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian, conservative wireless provider, offering dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks, so you get the best possible service in your area without the woke propaganda push by these leftists working hard

to destroy our country. Now, when you switch to Patriot Mobile, your dollars every month when you pay your bill will be used for free speech and religious freedom, the sanctity of life, Second Amendment, and our military veterans and first responder heroes they give back to. They have one hundred percent US based customer service team that makes switching easy.

You get to keep your same cell phone number. If you want to your same cell phone or upgrade to a new one, all you gotta do is go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict.

These are stunning numbers, especially that how many got aways

there were in just a single week. You had agents that were assaulted, You had fifty four nine U and fifty one apprehensions, twenty thousand basically got aways, seven hundred and fourteen thousand dollars, sees one hundred and one pounds of cocaine, a thousand fifty pounds of marijuana, two thousand and seven hundred and twenty one pounds of meth one hundred and thirty eight pounds of fetinyls, sixteen firearms, six sex offenders in the group that we did catch in

one week, seven gang members. And that's what happened to the border in one week. And yet this administration continues to tell the lie that the border is secure.

the authority to deport people under Title forty two. Title forty two was essentially the only legal basis under which they were deporting anyone. So now it is truly going to be Katie bar the door anyone who crosses. Guess what, Joe Biden is your travel agent. Pick a city and come on in. And you know what. It is so bad that even the corrupt corporate media is forced to

acknowledge it. Listen to face the nation, describing the crisis that Joe Biden has created and what's going to happen when when Title forty two is lifted.

in Mexico, camped along the Rio Grande River. New Biden administration guidelines that kick in after May eleventh promised more consequences, like a one way ticket on ice Air. We watched as one hundred and thirty three migrants, hands and feet shackled, boarded a plane back to Guatemala Friday, does said Minnesuela in Laredo, Texas. This emergency shelter is a welcome reprieve for many, like twenty nine year old Margerita Habry, who crossed the US Mexico border pregnant with her five and

three year old daughters back at home in Venezuela. She says, there is nothing. The mayor of Laredo has declared a citywide emergency.

is a crisis that is overwhelming. It's overwhelming the hospitals, it's overwhelming, the jails, it's overwhelming, the schools, it's overwhelming the communities center.

friends that gusta precious medals. If you have been saving for your retirement for a long time, you've been watching the bank failures, you've been watching what's happened with interest rates more than doubling over the last year, and you're just wanting to protect your hard earned dollars that is where you need to call a gust of Precious Metals because they can help you do that. They are different because they'll even tell you if a gold Ira isn't your answer, they give you the facts.

Age seven to seven the number four goldra that's eight seven to seven, the number four goldra or online Augusta Precious Medals dot Com that's augusta Precious Metals dot Com center. Is there going to be any accountability? How many illegal immigrants are going to take? How many criminals is it going to take coming across the border for my orcis, And he's still out there

lying to the American people. Myorcists is that the border not long ago or you know his definition of the border saying this.

Number One, there are no penalties for lying in the Biden administration, but number two, you get rewarded. The only reasonable inference is idi is their job to lie. Like Baghdad, Bob Sadam Hussein's lying press spokesperson, Mayorcis and Karine Jean Pierre are sent out every day with the instruction, go lie because Joe Biden wants you to lie, because the Democrats in Congress want you to lie, and they're counting on the dishonest corporate media not to call them on

their lies. Now, there are moments where there're cracks in the facade and you get things like face the nation actually admitting there's a humanitarian crisis these guys have caused. Now, mind you, although CBS acknowledged that they didn't point out that every word that comes out of the White House spokespeople's mouths is a lie, there's still no consequences you ask, will be the consequences to pay. Two groups will determine that. Number one the House of Representatives. As you know, I

believe we should impeach Alejandro Majorcis. I hope they do exactly that. Number two, the American people. I think the real accountability is going to be in November of next year. And I hope the American people say enough is enough and throw the bums out, throw Joe Biden out of the White House, and throw Democrats out of the Senate in the House, and give us Republican majorities in both. If we have a Republican president and a Republican Senate,

a Republican House, we can solve this problem. We can do it fast. And we know we can do that because we did it before. In twenty twenty, the last year of the Trump presidency, we have the lowest rate of illegal immigration in forty five years. We can do it again. And if the American people want this insanity stopped, the way to get there is a big, big win next November.
