Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Kevin McCarthy has greenland at the Biden impeachment inquiry. I
can now confirm after talking to sources for this week,
apparently McCarthy told the White House republican impeachment inquiry against
Biden is quote the logical next step for their investigations,

(00:23):
greenlighting this moving forward. I can confirm that the House
Speaker McCarthy is telling House Republicans today and in meetings
throughout the week that beginning of an impeachment inquiry against
President Biden is the quote logical next step. The House

(00:46):
Geoke Pea Conference plans to hold a meeting Thursday morning
for key committee chairs to lay out their latest findings
and the status of the investigation of the Biden family.
I've also been told that the House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Jim Jordan and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer are
expected to lead Thursday's meeting, which would make sense now.

(01:10):
At the meeting, McCarthy is expected to say an impeachment
inquiry is the only logical next step for the Republican majority.
An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process,
where evidence is gathered for articles or charges of impeachment
against an official This special conference meeting, they say, on Thursday,

(01:32):
is in addition to Wednesday mornings regularly scheduled GOP meeting
where leadership typically lays out priorities for the week. Thursday's
scheduled meeting was first reported by punch Bowl News and
leaked to them. Sources confirmed then to Fox News and

(01:53):
other Republicans have gone on the record now as saying
that there is a clear plan to launch an impeachment
inquiry into Biden this month, meaning September. Now, three separate
GOP led committees have investigated allegations that Hunter Biden leveraged
his father's official government positions to secure foreign business deals.

(02:17):
The open question for Republican lawmakers is whether President Biden
ever personally benefited from his son's deals or abused the
power of his office to influence them in any way.
McCarthy said last month that an impeachment inquiry would only
happen with a formal House vote. McCarthy said at the time,

(02:38):
quote to open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter,
and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use
it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be
heard on this matter. Through their elected representatives, McCarthy said
in an interview with Breitbart. He then went on to

(02:59):
say that's why if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry,
it would occur through a vote on the four of
the House and not through a declaration by one person.
That means, in translation, that two hundred and eighteen lawmakers
will need to support an impeachment inquiry against Biden, and

(03:20):
it is not at all certain House Republicans have the
votes to do it. Several GOP lawmakers, including Representative Ken Buck,
a Republican from Colorado, and Representative Don Bacon, a Republican
from Nebraska, have both voiced skepticism about impeachment. Even Somehow's

(03:41):
conservatives who support impeachment have complained about the timing. Representative
Dan bishop As, a Republican from North Carolina, said to
Fox News last week that appeared McCarthy was quote dangling
the issue to avoid a confrontation over spending ahead of
the deadline to fund the government. Now, the House Freedom

(04:04):
Caucus and other conservative groups have urged McCarthy to force
a deeper spending cut, deeper spending cuts in general, and
to attach GOP priorities to any short term or long
term spending deal that would keep the government open. That's unlikely,
by the way, to get through the Senate or the

(04:25):
White House and to get a signature for approval. They
view the last debt limit deal as a betrayal because
it did not significantly curtail government spending. This is part
of how why it was so hard for Ken McCarthy
to get the speaker's job, because many Republicans said he

(04:45):
wasn't doing enough to stop out of control government spending.
Representative Chip Roy, a friend of mine from Texas, warned
GOP leaders earlier this month this hiding quote behind impeachment
to screw America with status quo massive funding will not
end well. In other words, he's saying, don't try to

(05:08):
show me a nice shiny object in this hand while
you're screwing me in the other hand. And look at
what Chip Roy. By the way, he has a lot
of people in the Freedom Caucus and a lot of
conservatives around him. Look at the words he chose. He
wasn't messing around. I'm gonna read it again, hiding behind
impeachment to screw America with status quo massive funding will

(05:28):
not end well. In other words, if you think you
can give us impeachment, we'll shut up on government spending.
Your wrong. If you think you can trade out of
control government spending for an impeachment inquiry or a vote
on impeachment, you're wrong. Now there's a narrow House majority,
Republicans can only afford to lose five votes from their
conference in an impeachment inquiry vote. To be clear, I

(05:52):
would already say that they've lost three, possibly four, just
based on the quotes that I gave you a moment
ago from Republicans who are on the record. And those
Republicans that I mentioned are from states where impeachment probably
won't play well with the voters. Colorado is a great
example to more liberal state. At the same time as

(06:15):
all this is going on, impeachment hardliners like Representative Matt
Gates have also threatened to attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy
if the House does not follow through with impeachment vote,
something he says he will pay off on the Speaker
of the House. Kevin McCarthy's office has not responded to

(06:36):
requests for comment. Why because they clearly wanted to leak
this out and see how it was going to play out.
After they leaked it. That's what they're clearly trying to do,
which makes sense. Actually, now Republicans have to be careful
here that they don't screw this up, because the American
people right now seem to be coming around to the

(06:59):
idea in the polls that the president is clearly corrupt
and compromised. If you move too soon towards impeachment, you
can screw the whole thing up. You can screw it
up big time. If you go too quickly, you can
screw all of this up. I want you to hear

(07:20):
what was said by David Brooks. He was on PBS
News Hour. David Brooks not a hardcore conservative, but he
had this to say about the Hunter Biden story and
that Hunter was selling influence and influence pedaling on his
dad's name. He even said, as a liberal on PBS quote,

(07:41):
I underestimated the Hunter's story.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
This week, though, we learned federal prosecutors will be moving
ahead with an indictment against Hunter Biden, most likely related
to gun charges, expected by the end of the month. David,
As you well know, those questions around Hunter Biden continue
to fuel Republicans' threats to impeach President Biden. Is this
becoming a liability for the president.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, it's certainly a liability. You know, it sort of
feeds into the narrative. He's part of the Washington establishment.
Everybody's self dealing, so that's a liability. The gun charge,
you know, he was a sick man, frankly, who had
some drug issues, and the gun charge to me is
an ancillary issue. To me, I want to know he
was clearly trying to pedal influence. Did he successfully pedal influence?

(08:28):
Was any any law change that Joe Biden's policies changed
that Joe Biden said on any of those meetings. I
kind of doubt it on all counts. But I do
think now I've sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story.
I think it's probably worth a look to see if
there was actual influence pedaling. But for the Republicans talk
about impeachment, you gotta have a crime, like you got

(08:49):
to have some accusation you can make, and they don't
really have anything right now. It's worth looking into, but
they're way premature in talking about impeachment.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Jonathan, What do you make of that? Is? Is it
worth a look by both the Department Justice and House Republicans,
as they say they want to do, well, it's.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Worth a look by the Department of Justice, because they're
already looking, and with a special council having already been appointed,
there apparently is a reason to look. But the one
thing I want folks to remember and to always remember,
and that is the legal predicament surrounding Hunter Biden, the
son of the president. It is nowhere near and it

(09:27):
is not the same as what is facing the former
president twice impeached, four times, indicted on ninety one counts
in four different jurisdictions. I mean, they're Republicans, especially congressional Republicans,
have been spending a lot of time trying to focus
attention on Hunter Biden and the quote unquote weaponization of

(09:50):
the Justice Department because of what is happening to Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
By the way, I wanted you to hear the response
there because you need to understand what Democrats are going
to do. You hear this shocking moment from Brooks of honesty.
I underestimated the Hunter Biden's story. Hunter was trying to
pedal influence and then immediately they go back to well,
but it's nothing compared to what Donald Trump did you

(10:15):
heard it right there. Attack dog, get on there, bring
it go all in, yell, scream, rant, rave, talk about
you don't understand how bad it is for the bid
for the Trumps. This is nothing compared to what you
guys are looking at. This is nothing compared to what's
going on right now with Donald J.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Trump.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's their argument. That's their response. Well, you think we're bad,
You've got indictments. We don't. I will say this a
different way. Republicans have to be very careful that if
we do this, we do it the right way, because
the media is going to turn on it quickly. The
media is going to turn on this thing so freaking fast,

(10:56):
and they're going to turn this into a partisan issue
so quick. And if we are just now getting people
around the idea that there's corruption, the American people, I
don't think are to the point of impeachment yet. They're
just now finding out about the basics of this, folks,
And we have to be very careful that we don't

(11:17):
give them a gift by this becoming a partisan issue,
so then they don't have to listen and understand just
how corrupt the Biden crime family actually is. That is
my concern and I think you can understand why, because
what's the point of doing this If we're not going
to make it effective and if it backfires on us,

(11:39):
what's the point of doing it. Impeachment is a word
now that doesn't mean what it used to mean, at
least in this country. The word impeachment used to actually
mean something. Democrats have destroyed it by the way that
they went after Donald Trump with impeachment now once but twice.
Now it's a political p It's no longer about are

(12:01):
you actually breaking laws or undermined the country you're supposed
to be protecting and representing. Impeachment is now been tainted,
and so it's it is a idea that when people
hear it, they've kind of just rolled their eyes. I
think they rolled their eyes because I think they realized
how ridiculous it is that what happened the last time.

(12:21):
And look, there were people that were in favor of
the impeachment last time. To be clear, right, there were
people that were completely in favor of impeachment, and it
was because they wanted to take out Donald Trump politically.
They knew Donald Trump wasn't colluding with the Russians. They
knew that report was paid for and created out of
thin air by the Democrats. They know that Hillary Clinton

(12:44):
was one of the ones funding the Steele Dosier. They
knew that the FBI knew that the Steele Dohsier was
a lie. They knew that they couldn't corroborate that he
couldn't corroborate the stories within the Stele Doosier. In fact,
the FBI offered him I think it was over a
million dollars to stantiate the claims of the dossi and
he couldn't do it. So that should tell you an
awful lot about it as well. Right, he couldn't even

(13:05):
do that. Now, why couldn't he do that? Why why
could he not do that? Because he made it up?
Democrats made it up. They all lied, They all knew
what they were doing. They were lying the entire time.
The problem now is when people hear impeachment, a lot
of people go to their left, they go to the right,

(13:27):
and it turns into a political moment. They say, Okay,
I'm going to my team here. You guys on the
other side, y'all are just abusing power, y'all are idiots,
or you're just trying to take out your political opponent.
That's why I say Republicans have to be very careful
because this could backfire and actually solidify support that is
wavering for Joe Biden. People are starting to cover the

(13:51):
story of Joe Biden. They are okay, people are starting
to realize and understand it. But if you turn it
into a part of an issue by going through impeachment
too early, then it can backfire on you on a very,
very big way. I'll give you an example of why

(14:12):
i say this, because I want to be clear. I'm
in favor of impeaching Joe Biden because I think there's
evidence to impeach him. I want to be careful and
win and how and where we do it. Look at
what happens every single time they indict Donald Trump. The
charges are absurd, right, we know that, but they keep
doing it. And why they keep doing it. Democrats believe
that that Donald Trump is the easiest person to beat

(14:33):
in the general election. So they're going to keep indicting him,
win and wherever they can, regardless of the facts, because
they believe it guarantees him the primary. And what happens
when they go after Donald Trump, the base rallies behind
him the exact same thing will happen if we go
for impeaching Hunter Biden or excuse me, Joe Biden over

(14:54):
Hunter Biden and the Biden corruption, the same exact thing's
going to happen. The same exact thing is going to happen. Now,
there's also other issues at play here that we should
talk about and we should use our advantage. I'll give
you an example. On nine to eleven, it was leaked

(15:15):
President Joe Biden has now bowed down to Iran and
we are going to pay them six billion dollars for
five Americans in exchange for five Iranian prisoners. Then, on
top of that, the President and the White House are
now claiming that the six billion dollars for five Americans

(15:36):
in exchange for five Iranian prisoners. So we're not just
giving them a prisoner shrup here, We're giving them six
billion dollars. The White House claims, Oh, don't worry, the
money will only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, So
you don't have to worry. If you believe that you're
an idiot, this is Iran. Iran killed more American soldiers,

(15:57):
was responsible for killing more Americans soldiers in any other
country when we were in Afghanistan, Iraq. How do I
know that? Because they were the ones that were giving
safe harbor to terrorists and save passage of terrorists that
were coming in to kill us. They were also the
number one maker of the roadside bombs that were blowing
up American soldiers. They are a state sponsor of terrorism.

(16:18):
And when America got to Afghanistan, when America got to Iraq,
Iran went full force into war to kill American soldiers.
And now the Biden administration has reproved a deal with
Iran to pay the rogue regimes six billion in exchange
for five detained American citizens. The deal, according to the

(16:41):
Associated Press, entailed the Biden administration issuing a blanket waiver
for international banks to transfer six billion in frozen Iranian
money from South Korea to Qatar without US sanctions. The
money would then be held in Qatar's central bank for
ran to US, reportedly for the purchase of humanitarian goods.

(17:03):
That's a joke. In addition, the Biden administration agreed to
release five Iranian cistems held in the US. So not
only we give them six billion, we're giving them five
Iranian citizens. I'm assuming you're involved in some sort of terrorism.
I'm having more on that story coming up in a moment.

(17:27):
Why would you do that, by the way, on nine
to eleven. I mean, if there's anything that they would
teach you in politics one oh one, it's like, hey,
if you're going to release some terrorists, don't do it
on the anniversary of nine to eleven, especially when it's
like Iran. And yet here we are having this conversation
where the President is going to transfer six million, six

(17:48):
billion dollars. According to the Associated Press, the Secretary of
State Anthony Blincoln signed off on the deal late last week,
but Congress was not notified of the deal until Monday,
which was nine eleven, the twenty second anniversary of the
US suffering terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists. And that's the
day we tell them, Oh, by the way, we're sending
six billion dollars to Iran, who was killing American soldiers.

(18:13):
The deal appears to go against the US policy by
the way of not paying countries to release American prisoners. Right,
this is ransom money so as not to incentivize the
behavior of capturing Americans. According to report, the transfer of
the six billion was the critical element in the prisoner
swap deal the six billion. So we're giving them humans,

(18:35):
and we're giving them six billion, more than a billion
a person. Some European nations reportedly balked at participating in
the transfer, by the way, but don't worry, then, Joe Biden,
the big Guy, and his administration's blanket waiver was aimed
at easing their concerns, The AP notes this morning. The

(18:56):
waiver is likely to draw criticism a President Joe Biden
from Republicans and others that the deal will boost the
Iranian economy at a time when Iran poses a growing
threat to US troops and Mid East allies. It's also
a part here where it's just in competency, and the

(19:18):
amount of incompetency here makes me angry. There is no way, okay,
at all, there's no way that you can guarantee that
the six billion dollars is going to be used for
humanitarian reasons. Like that's not possible, okay, Like that's not

(19:42):
something that's possible. Iran can funnel the six billion out
of Katar and claim it's for humanitarian things. They can
do that, But I promise you this, they're going to
use it for whatever the hell they want to the
other part of this is when was the last time

(20:03):
Iran was known for doing anything in a humanitarian fashion?
Did did? And again, this is a question that would
have been asked the meeting, but of course they they're
not asking that question because they already know they they
already know that that's not going to happen. So it's
it's it's part of the lie, right because if you

(20:24):
were having a normal administration meeting, someone had been like, hey,
when was the last time that Iran ever did anything
on a on a humanitarian basis? Like when when did that?
When did that happen? And the answer you they don't, right, Like, like,
that's not what they do. That's not how any of

(20:45):
this works. It's not how this that that's not how
they do any of this. So instead, we're giving six
billion to a terrorist organization that's going to use a
six billion to kill people, claiming the money is going
to be used for humanitarian reasons, while also giving up
these five different Iranians that we have in our custody

(21:08):
in the United States America. I'm still trying to find
out more about these Iranians. We don't know anything about
them yet, because the White House seems to be keeping
that very quiet. Now, if you just do a quick
step back on the anniversary nine to eleven, let's be clear.
Now you have a president that bowed to Iran on
nine to eleven. You have a president that paid six
billion to and gave up five Iranian prisoners in an

(21:33):
exchange for five Americans, with a country that clearly is
a rogue nation that sponsors terrorism, has killed American soldiers.
They Iran is responsible for more limbs lost on Americans
in Iraq and Afghanian than any other country because of
their bombs that they that they allowed to be made
in their country and they gave to the terrorists they
gave save Hayesan to Isis and al Qaida. And then

(21:56):
you combine that with Biden breaking a twenty two year tradition.
He spent nine to eleven not at White House or
the site of this attack. Right, they said, it's just
time to move on. That was their logic here. Yeah,
President Biden was taking fire from some families of nine
to eleven victims for being the first president twenty two
years to not spend nine to eleven in an attack

(22:18):
site or at the White House. According to the new report,
the family slammed Biden for spending nine to eleven in
quote Alaska, but just part of the day where he
is following up on a trip to India and Vietnam
discussed climate change. He then tacked on Alaska, claiming he
was doing something there. Now. Biden did do one thing.

(22:42):
He visited the memorial of his friend, the late Senner
John McCain and Vietnam on Monday. He kissed the memorial,
telling reporters traveling with him that it was important that
he visited the site as McCain was a quote, good
friend that, by the way, not connected to nine to eleven.
But I guess they thought, oh, that's good enough, right,

(23:03):
we'll check that box so that you can't criticize him.
One of the victims said, if our leader is so
willing to not show up to the memorial service, it's
showing the message that Americans have forgotten, and then it's
okay to forget. Unfortunately, for myself and for all other
families and those joining with us this morning, we have
no way of forgetting. This is something that forever changed

(23:26):
our lives, and this is something that we're going to
live with forever, even if the rest of the country
can let this be a day they do forget. White
House Press Secretary Jean Pierre said at a press conference
three days ago about nine to eleven. She said, quote
on nine to eleven. Look, the President is going to
mark the anniversary of September the eleventh, the taxas year

(23:47):
in Alaska, as you just mentioned, with service members and
their families, and as he does every year, as he's
done this every year. He plans to honor the lives
lost in the families and loved ones who will fill
the pain of the terrible day. This is something he
feels is very important to do. We can only imagine
the heartbreak and the pain that the nine eleven families

(24:09):
have felt every day for the past twenty two years.
John Pierre concluded, saying this, So I know the families
have have certainly been on this on the mind recently
in recent days, and they will continue to be to
be on the mind as we approach the anniversary, as
you know, is coming up Monday. In other words, asker,
you guys, here's your lip service. We're too busy working

(24:32):
a deal with a RAN right now. Now. So far
we have not been able to figure out exactly what
the deal is. We don't know, Okay, we don't know
what the deal is and who these Iranians are that
we're giving back. And the reason why we don't know
is because I'm sure they don't want us to know
who it is. They're terrified of who these Iranians are

(24:59):
and that it's going to get out before we hurry
up and do the deal and move on. But telling
Congress on the anniversary nine to eleven, God help us,
and I mean that sincerely when I say that God
help us. This is a president of the United States
of America, and I would argue this deal with Iran
is nothing more than just being compromised. This is straight

(25:20):
up a president that I think is compromised in a
way that people can't even imagine. There's no logical reason
to do this deal. There's no logical reason to give
six billion dollars to a terrorist organization because Iran is
a terrorist organization. You can't tell me they're not. The
facts back it up. The facts clearly show that they

(25:42):
are a terrorist organization, and we're going to do that
on the anniversary of nine to eleven. So let me
go back to what I was saying a moment ago
about impeachment. The American people seem to be turning on
Joe Biden on their own. We have to be careful
that we don't stop that momentum by pushing for impeachment,

(26:06):
which we do not have the votes for, by the way,
in the Senate. That's something that we need to really
talk about. We need to be very strategic about when
we start this impeachment inquiry, because it will galvanize the
left and there will be people that are not actually
right now standing and supporting Joe Biden that will then

(26:27):
immediately go and stand and support Joe Biden. That's part
of what people need to understand. I worry that if
we move this too quickly, if we go too fast,
that we're going to get ourselves in a situation where
this will be one of the biggest backfires we've ever seen,

(26:50):
and that this will galvanize the left. It will make
them stand up for Joe Biden. It will make them
say to Joe Biden, hey, We're we're going to really
defend you because these Republicans, instead of us listening to
the crimes that the Biden crime family has committed. I
also understand the votes, and if we don't have the votes,

(27:14):
and the other question is is this worth it to
do this now? While the Presiden's proverratings are an all
time low, this story is starting to finally get to people.
You look at the CNN poll that came out. I'll
go back to what CNN said on their own TV
about this. Here's how they put it. The majority believe
Biden putting thumb on the scale of the Hunter probe.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
And when you look here about President Biden now serving
as president, his actions in the Hunter Biden probe, have
they been appropriate or not? Fifty five percent of Americans,
a majority believe Biden's actions related to the Hunter Biden
probe inappropriate, twenty four percent of Democrats again, a majority
of independence fifty two percent, and nearly all Republicans at

(27:57):
ninety percent believe that. And this is to show, oh,
what happens when you don't push back at all, which
is really basically what the White House has been doing.
There's not been a Hunter Biden defense kind of mounted
in a public relations way, and it's starting to seep
through beyond just the right wing echo chamber.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
We're seeing it's starting to seep through. Well, if you
start impeachment, what do you think is going to happen.
