Speaker 1 (00:01):
James Comer is tightening the screws on Hunter Biden, specifically
his art, and they in Washington, the Republicans are now saying,
we want to know the buyers and we want to
know how much they actually paid for the art coming
from Hunter Biden. This Congressional committee is really now tightening

(00:24):
these screws on Biden's art dealer to turnover information about
who actually bought the president's son's art for well ridiculous
amounts of money. And a second letter now sent to
William Pittard, the lawyer who Biden's Manhattan based art dealer,

(00:44):
the Committee on Oversight sent a letter saying, it's time
for you to tell us what's going on. What we
do know is that Hunter Biden is getting up to
six figures, actually more than six figures first some of
his art. James Comber and the Republicans said, quote, given
Hunter's history of suspicious activity, it is deeply concerning that

(01:08):
the present's son continues to sell is amateurist work to
anonymous purchasers for sky high prices. That's what Representative James Comer,
who had the committee, told The Post in a new
email statement. Now the New York Post has also seen
a March thirteenth letter which states that the committee seeks

(01:29):
information quote about the unidentified purchasers of mister Biden's artwork
and the non public agreement with the White House concerning
this same issue. Now, if you've seen some of this artwork,
I want to be clear, it doesn't completely suck, but
it is average at best. It's not something that you

(01:50):
would see and go, wow, that's really impressive. You should
get a half a million dollars for that artwork. The
reason why that matters is the letter references the prices
going from the low range of seventy five thousand for
a piece of Hunter Biden work to a half a
million dollars. They want to know and they want to

(02:13):
understand who is giving this money to the president's son.
They also explained that the quote Treasury Department studied the
use of high end art as a means to launder
money along with other potential elicit transactions. So this letter
is saying, look, we know that the Treasury Department, which
is headed up by Joe Biden, right, the Treasury Department

(02:36):
has said that art is a great way to funnel money.
It's a way to launder money. It's a way to
pay off bribes because it's all in the eye of
the beholder, what it's really worth and what you're willing
to pay now. According to the letter, which we are
now seeing for the first time, it details related to
the sales of Biden's paintings that are quote critical to

(02:59):
the instigation. The investigation of the present Sun is not
being accused by the way of money laundering, but they
do say they have questions about quote suspicious activities. Foreign adversaries,
including China, the letter states, have used sham art sales
we know for a fact, to launder money and evade
sanctions imposed by the United States of America. Hunter's art

(03:22):
dealer now seems to be running cover for Hunter Biden
and is obstructing the committee's efforts to obtain information on
who is buying Hunter's artwork, which he's the only one
that would know. Burgess and his lawyer have not replied
to request for comments from The New York Post, nor
did a lawyer directly supporting Hunter Biden. Now. This is

(03:46):
not the first request made for information related to Hunter
and his art sales. On an earlier letter that was
sent out in February, it also talked about the exorbitant
amounts that people were paying for Hunter Biden's art, and
they were explaining, how is it possible that these arts
could be worth this art could be worth so much money.

(04:07):
Now we have gotten confirmation that the prices for the
art does range from seventy five thousand to a half
a million dollars. If you want to pay a bribe, hey,
that bribe and then you don't have to worry about
getting caught, and it can go through an art dealer
to bribe off the president of the United's America. This
is exactly how you would do it. And again the

(04:30):
Treasury Department has already said that China has a history
to get around sanctions of buying artwork because this is
a way to funnel money. Comer also express high expectation,
saying George Burgess needs to cooperate with this investigation and
I fully expect him to provide all information, appear for

(04:51):
a transcribed interview if he doesn't. If he does not
comply with a congressional subpoena, it can result in a
fine up to a thousand dollars and up to a
year in prison. That is also the latest. Now the
Post previously reported that Hunter's team had said they did
not want to reveal names of buyers and prices paid,

(05:13):
among other requests and efforts not to quote defeat the
efforts of mister Biden and the White House to avoid
the serious ethics concerns that Comber and the committee have raised.
They offer also reference then Press Secretary Jensaki pointing out
to safeguards that she admitted to that included maintaining the
confidentiality of buyers in this instance, because if the White

(05:37):
House was not aware of those buyers, it would seem
impossible quote for the administration to grant the buyers any
favors based on the purchases. Comber and his latest move said,
these purported safeguards and telling us that they're there are
insufficient at best and troubling at worst. Now this also

(06:01):
comes as James Coomer is really trying to put the
hammer down on these suspicious activity reports and we're finally
getting some data into these suspicious activity reports. I want
you to hear what Komber had to say on Fox
about these suspicious activity reports. Just last night, o'shan I
suppended a bank for records for three different former Hunter

(06:24):
Biden business associates. One of those associates in particular was
Rob Walker. We got his account, We confirmed that that
account around two months after Joe Biden left the office
of Vice President, received a three million dollars wire from
two individuals directly associated with the Chinese Communist Party. The

(06:45):
very next day after that wire was received, the Walker
account started transferring money into three different Biden family members accounts,
including a new Biden family member that's never four been
identified as someone being involved in the influence peddling scheme.
So this is very serious information that we've received, very

(07:10):
troubling information. It does show a pattern that the Biden
family was receiving money directly from China. So the family
was receiving money from China, not just receiving money. One
of the associates, Rob Walker, was wired millions of dollars
in the Chinese Communist Party connected individuals. Now, remember all

(07:33):
this revolves around the big guy, the Washington or excuse me,
the Wall Street Journal is now reporting that Republicans realize
how important it is to view Hunter Biden's financial records,
and we're starting to get some of them. House Republicans
were now being told will review government reports of suspicious

(07:54):
financial transactions related to President Biden's family members, resolving an
early riff with the administration as Republicans mount aggressive inquiry
to the president's son, Hunter Biden. Represent of James Comer,
the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and the Treasury
Department have for weeks to negotiate the timing and terms
of lawmakers access to these so called suspicious activity activity reports,

(08:20):
in which banks flags transactions that bear signs of money
laundering or other potential criminal activity. The Treasury Department will
make the reports available for an in camera review, meaning
the panel can inspect them in person, but not retain copies.
Mister Konomer said Hunter Biden's business dealings abroad during and

(08:42):
after its father's time as vice president are a focus now.
Lawmakers are seeking to discover whether the younger Biden's various
business arrangements with wealthy foreigners involving involved his father. Repeated
previous investigations haven't revealed a role for the president, but
what we have now is the Hunter Biden laptop, and

(09:06):
Hunter Biden has said he wouldn't work with any foreign
companies while his father is president. Is that true? Now?
Before I get into more of this story. I want
to say thank you and tell you about our good
friends at the Gusts of Precious Medals. They are different
because they will even tell you if a gold Ira
isn't your answer, they give you just the facts. Now.

(09:27):
Gust of Precious Medal is all about protecting your ira
and your four oh one k. They're great people a
great conservative company. They're great people at a great conservative company.
They understand right now that it's crazy with our economy
and it's extremely important, especially if you're close to retirement,

(09:47):
to protect your assets because there's no time to make
up losses. So if you've saved a hundred thousand dollars
or more, then you should take a look at their
free guide and you should really sign up for something
that I've done. It's a web conference where you talk
to a top individual about gold iras and you're four
oh one k. Check them out and get the peace

(10:09):
of mind that you're protecting your hard earned assets when
you get really close to retirement. Eight seven seven four
the number four gold Ira eight seven seven four gold
Ira or visit them online at Augusta Precious Metals dot com.
Say I sent you and they will pay your fees
for up to ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals dot

(10:32):
Com eight seven seven four gold Ira. President Joe Biden
has long denied playing any role in the business deals
pursued by his son and his brother James Biden, neither
of whom hold roles in the administration. So they say,
what could go wrong here? Now? To be clear, so
you understand that is a lie and it's been proven.

(10:56):
We have voice mails, they were one Hunter Biden's laptop.
We have emails, we have pictures, we have meetings that
we know have taken place between Hunter Biden and his father.
The idea that President Joe Biden didn't have any role
in his son's business deals or his brother's business deals absurd.
These business deals wouldn't have existed without the man, the

(11:19):
big guy, being involved. There would have been no reason
to do business with Hunter Biden if it wasn't for
buying access to the big guy. Now, lawyer for Hunter
Biden said that after five years of the same old,
disproven conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden, his family representive comer's
political obsession comes at a high cost of time and

(11:42):
money that could be spent actually improving the lives of Americans.
So that's their way of fighting back. That's what they're
going to say. Representive Comber, he went on to say,
knows all too well that stars reports are not uncommon.
It's true, there's a lot of them. It is extremely
uncommon for one individual to have a hundred and fifty
of these suspicious activity reports popping on their accounts. That

(12:06):
is what is unusual. If Hunter Biden had one, or two,
or maybe even three, you'd say, all right, well, that's
not a lot. When you, as an individual have a
hundred and fifty, that's a hell of a lot. And
everybody should understand that. Now, the Treasury Department, they go
on to say, collects millions of such reports each year,

(12:27):
holding them in a database that can be used by
law enforcement to investigate potential crimes. A spokeswoman for James Biden,
that's the president's brother, declined to comment on the Treasury
Department making the suspicious activity reports available to House lawmakers,
especially since well James Biden, Jimmy Biden, whatever the President

(12:48):
wants to call him, is involved in this scheme as well. Now.
Treasury officials that said they were working to respond to
the Republican request for the records. That's a lie. They
have not been They've been stonewalling for years now, at
least two years, and only after the Republicans won back
the House, and even since then they've been stonewalling. Mister

(13:13):
Comer said, quote. It should never have taken us threatening
to hold a hearing and conduct a transcribed interview with
an official under the penalty of perjury for Treasury to
finally accommodate part of our request. What are they trying
to hide? Obviously a lot and a letter sent to
House Republicans viewed by The Wall Street Journal earlier this month,

(13:33):
mister Davison said the Treasury was conferring with law enforcement
agencies about sharing their material with lawmakers. Really, quote, all
the processes which are designed to ensure proper protection of
potential or ongoing investigations and other law enforcement interests are
already well underway for your request, but they take time,
the Treasury wrote. On March the third, the House Oversights

(13:55):
Committee pushed for the Suspicious Activity reports. Comes as the
panel also subpoenaed and this is new news, so listen carefully,
the Bank of America. They have subpoenaed Bank of America
for records related to three of Hunter Biden's business associates
that includes Representative Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the committee,

(14:19):
revealed that the subpoenas in a letter to mister Comer
happened on Sunday. Miss Raskin called the record request quote
wildly overboard and pointed to an effort to run a
political fishing expedition to turn up any informediation that might
be related or reeled in relating to a member of

(14:41):
President Biden's family. Now, Bank of America's spokesman obviously declined
to comment. Now this is big because Bank of America
and the fact that now the Committee has gone and
subpoena and said to Bank America, look, we're going to
subpoena these records related to three of Hunter Biden's business associates.
This is really damning because there's a lot of things

(15:02):
that apparently may have been running through those business associates
that we may not have seen just in the Biden
bank accounts. This is significant for the fact that we
just need to follow the money. We already have the
blueprint of the money. We know from Hunter Biden's emails
how much money was coming in the question is how

(15:23):
much other money was coming in that we don't know about,
how many other bribes or suspicious activity reports we're coming
in that we don't know about. Now, if you connect
these two scenarios, okay, these two situations, and you look
at these two situations where James Cohmer is talking about this,
these are two separate deals, folks. One of these deals

(15:44):
would pass you transgressions and these suspicious activity reports at
number one. And then the other part of this is
the new current transactions that are taking place right now,
and the new current transactions deal with this money laundering.
I would argue this shady money laundering to bring in
money from China or Russia or anybody else that needs

(16:08):
access to the current President of the United States of America.
Is Hunter Biden a half million dollars a painting artist
know and everybody knows it. So why would you give
him a half million dollars? Now, let me also remind
you of what Director Ray said the FBI. Director Ray
said when he was asked about Hunter Biden's laptop, just

(16:28):
in general, this is how scared they are of what
we're going to find. Listen carefully, were you aware that
the FBI personnel were in contact with Twitter regarding the
Hunter Biden laptop story. I don't believe the FBI personnel
we're in contact with Twitter about the hundred laptop story specifically.
I think there were people in contact with Twitter about
Russian disinformation efforts. Were you aware that the FBI had

(16:51):
Hunter Biden's laptop since December of twenty nineteen. I can't
speak to exactly when we had a laptop available, stonewalling,
Director Ray. The American people deserve answers, and this is unacceptable.
This is a cover up. It's been a cover up
for two years out in the public eyes. It's been
a cover up since the laptop story broke in the

(17:13):
New York Post and when Big Tech silenced it, the
FBI silenced it, everybody went out there and silenced it.
This is what happens when you have Republicans and there Look,
there are consequences, Okay, I want to make that clear.
There are consequences for your actions. And now some of
that is coming to light, and the Treasury reports clearly

(17:36):
show that the Biden family made millions of dollars from
Chinese Communist Party companies after twenty sixteen the payments came
flowing into the Biden crime family. Now, remember there was
ten percent being held for the big guy. Remember in
the Biden family investigation, there has always been this idea

(17:58):
that will pay you on the back end if we
can't do it right now. That's what we're seeing right now,
and now we're finally starting to get some of this now.
Speaker McCarthy also said today that the administrations fighting every
step of the way against the Biden family business investigations.
I want you to hear part of what he had

(18:19):
to say in a sit down interview with Brightbart about this.
Take a listen. We're seeing the investigations into President Biden
and his family and his businesses, the family businesses Hunter
Biden and James Biden, et cetera. Progress. We're seeing the
Treasury Department resist providing those suspicious activity reports. There's hundreds
of them. It's not easier than any other American It's

(18:41):
not easy to get one of those to happen. And
it's not with one bank, right Why could they? Why
would they hold that up? So where does this investigation go?
This is kind of where I want to last couple
of things I want to talk about Jamie Comer has
been doing an excellent job on this. He has a
great information. But behind this, we were following the information

(19:05):
every place it takes us. But what we're finding is
the administration is fighting every step of the way. Why
would they fight? It's it's very interesting to us. Why
would they Why would they fight just the story on
the laptop itself? Why would they go out of their
way to get people who are on the Intel community
to literally fifty two of them sign a letter to

(19:26):
say it was false. Well, we're bringing those people in.
We're going to cross every t dot, every eye, but
we're going to get all the information here, right. And
do you expect members of the First family, perhaps Hunter Biden,
James Biden, some of those people were the people connected
to them. We've done their business business for them to
be testifying before committees. I won't prejudge the work that

(19:47):
Congressman Comer is doing. The chairman, he's doing an excellent
job and he will, I promise you this when we talk,
he will follow it wherever it takes. But I want
to talk to you real quick about our friends over it,
Patriot Mobile. They are now offering a performance guarantee if
you're not happy with your coverage, you can switch between
the three major carriers four free. Yeah. Patriot Mobile is

(20:11):
America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They are for nationwide
coverage on the best G four and G five networks,
the same at network and towers you're using right now.
The difference is not only do you get the same
great quality that you're used to, but they actually are
a company that fights to preserve or God given rights

(20:32):
and freedoms. So this year resolved to stop spending your
money with companies that don't align with your values, in fact,
actually fight against what you believe in. Switch to Patriot Mobile.

of unborn children, and even helping with adoptions. It is
easy to switch. Call them right now or go online

(20:53):

com slash ferguson, or call them eight seven eighth Patriot.
You're gonna get free activation with the offer code ferguson.
That's eight seven eight Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
The media is going to always try to make it
sound like that this is a waste of time, that

(21:15):
there's nothing there, that this has been going on for
years and years and years, and that there's no there there.
This is absolutely something that the Republicans should spend a
lot of time effort looking into, because the people that
voted for these Republicans want answers these questions. And if
there were crimes that were committed by the Biden crime family,

(21:35):
and I believe that there were based on the evidence
that I've seen, I want there to be accountability. That's
the most important thing for me is the accountability. So
I don't buy into this media narrative now that oh wow,
this has been going on forever and they're just trying
to hurt this is all political. I don't believe it's political.
I believe this is corruption, and I believe that this

(21:58):
present is compromised by our adversaries. How do they do it?
They did it by giving money to a crackhead. They
gave money to Joe Biden, the big guy. They gave
billions of dollars in loans to the Biden crime family
so they can make millions and millions of dollars off
of shady business deals. While he claimed he was serving

(22:19):
this country. This is no different than the corruption we
see in Mexico, in Venezuela and Russia with oligarchs. In essence,
I would say the bidens are oligarchs that are now
back in office, and that's the part that is the
most disgusting. So none of us should be discouraged by
the amount of time this takes. Now, I also want

(22:41):
to give you another story, an updated on another important story,
and that's this. Many of you have been seeing what's
been happening because of the fallout from Silicon Valley Bank.
You've seen that there was a second bank that failed.
Now there's Credit Swiss that's having major problems for its
completely different reasons, by the way, But what we are
seeing right now is that this bank, Silicon Valley Bank,

(23:05):
they got a bailout with your tax dollars. And they
got this bailout because the bank was a woke liberal
bank that was giving tens of millions of dollars to
woke ideologies. They were giving millions and millions of dollars
to groups like Black Lives Matter. And now what we're
seeing is after the Democrats have orchestrated this bailout for

(23:26):
this woke liberal Green Bank, Chuck Schumer and many other
Democrats are rushing to give back donations from the Silicon
Valley Bank CEO. We know that Schumer got maximum donations
of five thousand, eight hundred dollars from the bank's former CEO.
What does that get you, I guess a big bailout.

(23:47):
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave back a total of
eight thousand and five hundred to a charity on Tuesday,
after receiving the sum in donation from the SVP and
its former CEO, Greg Becker. Becker had donated the fifty
eight hundred Schumer's campaign in twenty twenty one, and the
bank's pack had offered up to offered up two thousand

(24:09):
and seven hundred and twenty fifteen. Now. Schumer's office did
not immediately respond to request for a comment, nor did
a detail which charities the funds have been sent to. Meanwhile,
Representive Maxim Waters, another Democrat from California, says she also
plans to return donation she received from the pack. Svb's

(24:30):
political arm gave Waters two thousand and five hundred for
the twenty twenty election cycle as well. Yes, I will
send it back, she told Politico walking through the halls
of Congress and said that when asked about these funds,
now here's what we also know. Federal regulators seized control
of the bank on Friday of last week after a

(24:53):
bank run collapsed the company. Then what we found out
was this bank was shady and corrupt as hell by
not running a bank in the traditional manner. President Biden
assured Americans they should quote feel confident in the banking system.
On Monday, his administration a guaranteed that svb's depositors will

(25:14):
have access to their funds. He has said they will
come at no cost to the US taxpayers. We know
now that that is, by the way, a lie. No
losses will be borne by the taxpayers, Biden said. Instead,
they said the money will come from the fees that
banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund because of the

(25:35):
actions that our regulators have already taken, He said, every
Americans should feel confident that their deposits will be there
if and when they need them. All right, So put
all that together, and what do we know. Biden also
says administration will soon fire all of the bank's leadership,
including Becker, who donated the funds to Chuck Schumer. So

(26:00):
they're gonna fire all these people, but they all got
bailed out, and all the people that had money in
the bank got bailed out. Now this matters in so
many different ways now, And I say it matters because
basically what you can do is you can buy now
the FDIC, You can buy a bailout just by giving
enough money to the players that can bail you out.

(26:23):
When they're in office, Maxine Waters and others are now saying, Wow,
the depositors in this bank, they deserve help, and that's
why we gave them the special treatment that they needed.
We also know that Barney Frank defends his Signature Bank gig.
He said, quote, I need to make some money after

(26:44):
he left Washington. That's what represented Barney Frank told the
Financial Times while defending his role as a board member
of the second bank that failed this last week, Signature Bank,
which was shut down by the New York State regulators
on Sunday. So this guy was in Washington, he was
he had a lot of pull, and then all of
a sudden he goes the Signature Bank to sit on

(27:05):
its board, makes a ton of money doing it, and
then that bank collapses. More of the story. These woke banks,
they played the game and they knew they would get
a bailout. That this failed Silicon Valley bank, by the way,
gave Black Lives Matter over seventy three million dollars. Okay,

(27:25):
that's how much money they gave. So when the bank collapsed,
that's seventy three million. A Black Lives Matter was basically
an insurance policy because they knew that the government was
going to build them out, because they are a hardcore,
woke liberal bank. This again, SVP's donations were part of
nearly eighty three billion that Black Lives Matter Moment received

(27:46):
from Corporate America. As a point of reference, eighty two
point nine billion is more than the GDP of forty
six African countries in twenty twenty the Ford Motor Company profits.
To put in perspective, we're twenty three billion. Think about that.
So you've got eighty two point nine million, including more

(28:09):
includes more than one hundred and twenty three million to
the Black Lives Matter parent organizations directly, as well as
much more to other organizations supporting the Black Lives Matter agenda.
