Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on
a Tuesday, and we're gonna talk a bit more about
the system. I kind of finished up last hour talking
about the elites, the global elites, the people who've been
running the world for a long time. They're feeling the

(00:34):
rejection of them right now, and they're afraid. We'll discuss that.
We're gonna discuss the mass deportations. In fact, I'm gonna
tie all those things together as only I can do. Chris,
we have Steve Friend retired, well, former FBI special Agent
Steve Friend. I was about to call him retired, but
they kind of made him do that. He's coming up

(00:55):
about a half hour from now. He has major concerns
about what the FBI is doing to prepare for cash
betel coming in. All that so much more coming up
on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now back to
what we were discussing, what you're seeing, what they're feeling.

(01:15):
They're feeling a rejection of the way things have always been.
That's what the elites who run Western civilization are feeling
right now. I played that long cloud schwab clip. They're
feeling it. They're feeling it hard. The thing is, they
don't know how to react to it. Have you ever

(01:40):
have you ever seen a movie or read a book.
I mentioned people who fall from power, But have you
ever seen a movie or read a book about a
king who either loses his power and becomes a regular
person or has to pretend for a while. I forget
the name of the movie I'm thinking of, but a
guy has to go down and become a peasant for

(02:01):
a while, and he goes from being a king to
this and he goes around and he just starts trying
to give people orders anyway, because that's how he's always lived. You, hey,
go bring me a cup of coffee. You sweep these floors.
And he keeps getting laughed at, pushed around, beat up.

(02:22):
But he has lived that life for so long he
doesn't really know how to act any other way. And
what you're seeing from the people who have had their
power ripped from them right now is they don't know
a second way to act. Allow me to explain. We'll
make it about the media. Mainly, the media bubble. American

(02:46):
media is for the most part created in New York
City or Los Angeles, Washington, d C. Or Atlanta. That's
almost all of it. Almost all of it is created
in one of those four places. I'm talking about it
the individual journalist stuff, but I'm talking about the major
corporate press, the ABCNBC, all that stuff. That's where it's
mostly produced. Okay, Well, what has happened is as the

(03:11):
Democrat Party has become more and more isolated into being
just a coastal kind of elite academia institution, they have
stopped being able to relate to normal people, and they
only know one way to talk and one way to act.
And the only way you talk and act is like

(03:33):
an insane person who's teaching sociology on Berkeley's campus. It's
the only way to know how to talk and act.
And so right now, that stuff has been rejected by
most of the country, not just Republicans. Independents have rejected that.
They reject the training. Non Sense is actually a great
example of it. Even a majority of Democrats. It's a

(03:55):
slim majority, but even a majority of Democrats reject the
training on sense. Almost all the Independents rejected, Virtually every
Republican rejects it. It has been rejected by the American people,
yet they can't help themselves. They still talk about it
without end because the American media still loves it. Because

(04:17):
training nonsense is still popular on Columbia University East campus.
They don't know how to change speeds to any other way.
I'm going to play something for you. This is from yesterday.
This is Gail King CBS. What she's watching is a
video clip of a bunch of the inauguration ceremony stuff,

(04:39):
just rooms full of people. I want you to listen
to her.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I have to say, I'm looking at this crowd, I
do not see many people of color. Does anybody else
besides me observe that? I'm fascinated by why that is?
On Martin Luther King Junior Day.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
A report for CBS looking at inauguration ceremonies, started counting
how many black people were in the crowd and decided
to run with that on the news. That kind of
cultural Marxist insanity has been rejected by the people, not

(05:20):
just of America. Western civilization is starting to reject that stuff,
and they should know it. In fact, they kind of
feel that they've been rejected, but they don't fully grasp why,
and so they can't change their tune. Listen to Matthew
Dowd on MSNBC.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Problem I see is the same thing repeating itself of
what happened in the Civil War and the aftermath, where
the working class whites of the South, who had nothing
to benefit by maintaining the system nothing because they got
nothing out of it. They got nothing out of the plantations,
they got nothing out of it, but were convinced because
of cultural sort of language and division, the white working class,

(06:01):
who should have sided with the North in this, and
should have sided with more freedom and should have sided
with the freed slaves, ended up becoming part of that
sort of awful thing, and that led through civil rights
and that powerful people. And this is my fear today.
Back then, powerful people convinced the white working class was
not the rich, wasn't the enemy who were gobbling up everything.

(06:22):
It was these cultural elites that were the enemy in
their mind. And it's the same thing is happening today.
The powerful people are trying to segment off the white
working class who are getting no benefit from this and
will suffer in the Trump premacy, in the Trump presidency.
But the same thing is repeating itself.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
You stupid white working class people who voted for Trump.
You're just like the Confederates who loved slavery. They don't
know any other way to talk to us. They don't
know any other way to talk about us because they
exist in these elitist bubbles, and that's how they talk
about us to each other. Here's another one, Anna Navarro

(07:03):
on the view. I guess Snoop dog and other black
musical artists were part of the inauguration. Man, I didn't
watch any of that stuff, but they were part of it.
Snoop Dogg is hardly some card carrying Republican. He made
a music video of him shooting Trump in the head
back during Trump's first presidency. But to Anna Navarro, they're

(07:26):
just clapping seals.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
The thing that really I think was spotlighting Snoop is
because of the things that Snoop Dogg said ten days
before the inaugural in twenty seventeen. And so look, if
you opposed and stood up against Trump in twenty seventeen,
but you were there now. If you spoke up against

(07:48):
Trump January seventh, twenty twenty one, but you were there
now applauding him like a trained seal. Donald Trump has
not changed. You've changed.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, Why do they talk like this? Why do they
talk down to us? You're just like the Confederates, You're
a trained seal. They don't know any other way. Gil
King looks at the room. She knows she's been rejected.
The American media knows it has been rejected by the
American people. They know the poll numbers, they saw the
election results. They've been rejected. So they know they've been rejected.

(08:24):
They might even know why. But what they can't seem
to do is change their behavior. So for Gail King,
she's just gonna do what she's always done. She's gonna
look at a crowd of people, and if it's a
Republican room, she's going to start counting how many black
people are there and making some comment to indicate that
Republicans are racist and hate black people. To Anna Navarro,

(08:47):
if you don't serve Democrat interests, if you don't serve
the Communist revolution, you're a trained seal. To Matthew Dowd,
if you voted for Donald Trump, you're a stupid white
hayseed who's equal to the Confederates. They don't know any
other way. They can't help themselves and so as the

(09:11):
system is being rejected, these people, I don't think they
can change. I don't I don't think they have it
in them to change. I don't think they have the ability.
Chris said, after four years, Well, think about this, when

(09:33):
you've been a king for fifty years, how do you
be a peasant? How can you be Chris? You can't.
It's all you know. For the cultural Marxists who've come
up and been trained by America's communists, all you know

(09:53):
is this really sick, demented worldview of oppressors and oppressed,
and all you know is how to think, talk and
act like that. And even though it's been rejected, it's
all you know. So it's all you can do. I

(10:13):
don't know. I don't know that they can change. I
don't think they can. Oh, they'll figure out something, but
these are not people who do introspection all that. Well,
let's do some emails before we get to this illegal

(10:33):
immigration stuff, because I'm very very hopeful right now in
ways that I have not been before. I want to
do some emails and then I'll tell you what I'm
hopeful about and why before I get to that. I
want to get to this. I want to get to protection.
You fasten your seatbelt right, you lock your door at night.

(10:56):
You have health insurance hopefully. Well, what have you done
to protect your retirement? You worked really hard for that money,
you were smart enough to put some away. What have
you done to protect it? Get some precious metals in there.
I didn't say do it all. That's crazy. Get some

(11:18):
precious medals as part of your retirement. Get some in
your physical possession as well. Gold cos the one you
can trust, a plus rated from the Better Business Bureau
for a reason. In fact, they're offering up to a
ten percent instant match in bonus silver on a qualified purchase.
Gold code will send you a free gold and silver kit.

(11:41):
At least go get your kit. Jesse likes Gold dot
com is where you go. Jesse likes gold dot com.
We'll be back. You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show.
You're welcome. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Tuesday.

(12:04):
And thank you so much for all the prayers and
well wishes because of the weather. But I promise I'm
fine for those who haven't been paying attention. Everyone in
the South is nodding their head right now. But we
woke up this morning and it was a blizzard. I
don't mean snowing. It was a freaking blizzard and there
was four or five inches of snow on the ground.

(12:26):
And it's really not that big of a deal. And
everybody everyone acted like it was the end of the world,
and it's really not that big of a deal. Drive slower,
put on a winter coat. It'll be just fine. I
actually had people ask me, are you going to work today?
Are you going to go to work today? If I
stayed home from work because of three inches of snow

(12:47):
on the ground, my father would rise from the grave
and murder me. He would, yeah, I came into work today.
I don't stay home when it snows. Like I'm a child.
That doesn't matter. In fact, my kids it was hilarious.
They had the day off of school because it did
freeze in the school or were always worried about, you know,

(13:08):
bosses crashing and I do. I do get that part
of it. But they asked me. I said, Dad, well
you have to work, And I said, yes, son, men
go to work when there's freaking snow on the ground.
I don't ever want to hear that crap again. Oh yeah,
you're right. You're right. You're right, but thanks for your
well wishes. We did do just fine here and do
not worry. We are well fed. Yes, the roads were very,

(13:32):
very bad and we had no choice but to send
Corey to go pick up cheese steaks for us. So
thanks Corey, much appreciated. He did make it back okay,
and the cheese steaks were still warm. We're fine here, Jesse.
I'm kindly requesting that you include, Oh, this is about
Medal of Honor Monday. I'm kindly requesting that you include

(13:53):
the heroes hometown and state when doing Medal of Honor Monday.
I think it would be cool to know where they
are from. Thank you very much. I love the show
and I listen every day. God bless hey, Chris Corey.
I love this suggestion. Remind me of this. I want
to start doing. I try to do it sometimes, but
I would like to start doing this every time, city

(14:15):
and state for our Medal of Honor Monday. Guys, I
always enjoy that too. I'll tell you what else. I'll
tell you something I do enjoy that you may get
a kick out of you may not, but visiting the
graves of fallen heroes with your kids. It can be
powerful for you and it can be powerful for them.

(14:37):
We took our kids to Arlington National Cemetery back when
I lived in DC for a year, which was awful,
But Arlington's National Cemetery is amazing. And these Medal of
Honor heroes we talk about, most of them are not
in Arlington. They're buried most of the time in their
hometown somewhere, So it wouldn't hurt. Just a suggestion. If

(15:00):
you're traveling with the fam out of town, maybe you're
driving down to the beach or something like that, it
wouldn't hurt to look up that area and maybe tombs
or cemeteries that are there that have these guys. I'm
telling you, it's really, really powerful. There's a lot of
meaning to it. Okay, so trust me on that. It's
really cool anyway, city and state. I like that idea.

(15:21):
I'm try I'm gonna try to remember to do that
from now on. Jesse in two Birds with One Stone fashion.
After interviews with dozens of qualified candidates, I hired an
anti communist secretary from ZIP recruiter. I love this guy
as an anti communist. Should she took on more responsibility,

(15:42):
rose to the ranks quickly, and it was eventually promoted
to executive vice president of Pine sal in Luxury. Oh
no way.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
The dude hired a chick from Zip Recruiter and married her.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
You know, I don't think Zip Recruiter sees themselves as
a dating serves per se. But look, you gotta think
outside the box sometimes. What listen, Chris, hear me out.
Let's just say, let's say you're a single dude. Please
don't do this if you're married. But let's say you're
a single dude and you're not having any luck out

(16:18):
there finding a woman to marry. And let's say you're
a manager or a small business owner or something. Go
to ZipRecruiter dot com slash jesse, advertise your position. All
the choice employees are there, They're already there. It's the biggest, one,
biggest site for a reason. You'll get an instant match.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
And maybe you hire a lovely woman and maybe, while
strictly adhering to all the office sexual harassment policies, maybe
maybe you invite around after work play some darts one day.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Maybe you know what, even better, this is how I
got ob you know where I took her for a
first date putt putt. We did some putt putt, some
mini golf first date, and then she's all, I don't
know what I'm doing, and I'm oh, hey, allow me
to allow me to help guide you. This could all
begin with ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse. You want the

(17:20):
best employees and a potential future wife, ZipRecruiter dot com
slash Jesse, and you get to try it for free.
Jesse can't stop being upset over the preemptive pardons of
individuals like Biden's siblings Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney. The
act of doing this alone shows that they are guilty

(17:40):
in need this layer of protection. Can't these in any
way be reversed or used to expose these individuals. I
know you're sick about these pardons. I am sick about
these pardons. It's awful. But here's something you're not gonna
want to hear. Justice is very very hard to come

(18:04):
by in this life. Not that it's impossible, but it's
very hard to come by. The evil people who attack
us without end most of them will not get the
justice they deserve in this lifetime. I mean, look, look
no further than Vauci himself. That guy's done some really

(18:28):
truly heinous things, and to this day he makes a
fortune off your money. To this day, you provide for him.
Did you know you provide for him protection, personal protection.
He cruises around in a limo. You pay for this

(18:48):
is all your money. That guy engineered the carpet bombing
of American society, the destruction of children's education. You couldn't
bury your dad because of Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci is
going to live out the rest of his days in luxury.
I didn't say that to make you mad. There are

(19:11):
just some things in life, like injustice, that we just
kind of have to shoulder and keep moving on. I'm sorry,
I wish it was not that way, all right, all right? Well,
Steve Friend, friend of the show, he's a former FBI
special agent. I was talking with him a little bit
this morning about what's happening inside the FBI as they

(19:35):
wait for cash to get there, and it's not good.
You're gonna want to hear this next feeling a little stocky,
follow like and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly's show.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Reminding you you can
email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Now,

(19:56):
let's find out what's happening at the FBI. We need cash,
but tell Now, let's find out a few things from
our good friend friend of the show retired, well, I
guess forcibly retired special agent Steve Friend. Okay, Steve first
and foremost. I just polished off a bag of skittles,

(20:17):
and I like to eat five, six, sometimes even ten
at a time. Are you a multiple skittle at a
time man? Or you a one off guy?

Speaker 4 (20:27):
I like to squeeze two of them together until one cracks,
and that goes the next one, until I find the
hardest skittle and I let that one go free so
he can survive and produce.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Gosh, that is so much better than what I do. Now,
I wish I hadn't asked the question. I'm so embarrassed
now I feel like a chick. Now I feel like
I eat skittles like a woman. Now, setting that important
issue aside, talk to me about what's happening inside the
walls of the FBI. After all, I saw they close
their DEI department. That's a good thing, right, It is.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Good if you don't know a little bit better Unfortunately,
I do, being a recovering FBI agent who was alerted
to this about a month ago, that this is all
sort of an elaborate scheme to try to infiltrate other
avenues within the FBI before cash Batel arrives. So they're
reassigning these people. They're not removing them. They're putting them
into the Equal Employment Opportunities arm of the FBI so

(21:21):
they can go and infest and push forward their communism
that way. There's a lot of preparation for cash Battel.
I mean, they've promoted a whole bunch of executives in
the hopes that they're going to be harder to get
rid of. I mean, we had five assistant directors appointed
last week, and this is in the lead up to
a presidential and auguration, so they're hoping that I think

(21:43):
that he's going to be delayed in his official appointment,
and by the time he gets there, they will have
firmly ensconced themselves in a way that they can throw
up as much roadblocks as they can to reform.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay, talk to me, Steve about how ensconced they are.
I love that. I'm not completely sure if it's meeting.
But I always sound really smart when I say it.
How how hard is it going to be for Cash
to walk in and say leave right because you tell me?
And I had heard this before, That's why I asked
the question. They shut down the di HAD department, but
then they sent the communists to other parts. But can't

(22:16):
he just go track all that and find those people
and fire them. What can and can't Cash do?

Speaker 4 (22:24):
It's gonna be a willingness and an appetite to actually
do it. I mean, I think you can be pretty
creative with what you want to do. I mean, if
they if they're hesitant about some class action lawsuit or
anything like that, then they could always assign people to
be the supervisor of a broom closet, or do things
like have no more work from home and have people
just elect to do other things, reassign them to go

(22:46):
and work violent crimes in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and
maybe people would just prefer to pursue other avenues of career.
I think though, and they could always use the mechanism
they got me with, and that was the fact that
the FBI's part of the intelligence community. You have to
have a clearance and there's a Supreme Court case Navy

(23:06):
versus Egan that says that the agency has wide latitude
when it comes to issuing and suspending and revoking security
clearances basically any reason that they deem fit. So I
would contend that they could just suspend security clearances for
whoever they're having a problem, and it's really just going
to be ultimately a decision for the top of the
food chain of what level of discomfort are you with

(23:27):
the American people or they are going to be on board.
I think you can sell it to them, especially in
light of the fact that the FBI has been completely
exposed as a political actor at this point in the
last four years.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, I actually tend to agree with you. I would
have been more doubtful about that two three years ago,
but I think the American people have caught on to
exactly how bad things are inside the check out. I
want to ask you about something you just got done
saying you could just assign them to work violent crime.
Aren't the FBI agents. Aren't they people who want to

(24:01):
tackle violent crime?

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Steve, you would hope. So, I mean, I think a
lot of people have that idea because they watch TV
and movies. But for the most part, FBI agents or housecats,
I mean walk into the office every day, take the
gun off or the drawer, and sit at the cubicle.
So much of what they do is at the computer screen,
even if it is a violent crime violation that you're

(24:23):
theoretically supposed to be investigating. Most of those cases are
worked by local law enforcement entities that do something, and
then you liaise with them, have a conversation, and then
find an angle and say, ooh, you know, maybe I
can just take that case that you've already arrested the
bad guy, developed all the evidence, and your county prosecutor
is just a little bit over burdened, so I'll just
take it and find a federal nexus and get credit

(24:45):
as a violent crimes agent. And I think there's also
a mentality problem that they have, where the agents don't
look at themselves as case agents like the guy that's
chasing the bad guy down the alley on the TV screen.
They view themselves as a case manager, so they deploy
different resources. They'll use a financial analyst or an evidence tech,

(25:06):
and then eventually when it comes time to arrest a
bad guy, if it's necessary, they'll just they'll send the
slot team and they don't actually have to get out
of their desk.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well, that's about one of the most disheartening things i'd
ever heard you, and I'd had that conversation before. I
just wanted everybody to hear it. Okay, Steve, So I'm
going to ask you a question, and I don't I'm
already regretting asking it before I ask it. But you
famously you were working on child pornography cases before the
dirt balls at the check I pulled you off that

(25:35):
to go hunt down school board parents. That's why you quit.
But child pornography, I'm not sure that there's anything more
disgusting and evil than that. It's so evil it's hard
to fathom there are people in our society who produce
it and consume it. Did that ever get to you?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
You know, I consider myself, I guess, really and fortunate.
I'm one of these people that can compartmentalize that evidence
and say, if I have to view this and listen
to it, and it's a necessary component of my job
in order to put the worst people into a box
for the rest of their lives, then it's something that
I'm willing to do. And I know that I'm a

(26:18):
black sheep in that regard, and that to me was
one of the most disappointing aspects to it, where they
had that resource in me and somebody who said, I'll
do it for the next twelve fifteen years of my
career because I see the value of it, and they said, no,
we want you to go after the misdemeanor allegations from
January sixth. That's a higher priority there. And it just
reflects so badly, not just the FBI, but just I

(26:41):
think law enforcement in general, which is inadequately addressing this thread.
It is a nationwide threat. It affects every racial group,
every socioeconomic group. It is all over the place, and
we really are in an all hands on deck situation nationwide.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
What's wrong with these people? Is it demonic? Like I
can't it's so evil, Like I understand a drug dealer.
I don't do it, but I get it, you know,
I get it. I understand a gang banger, I understand
an Italian mafia guy. I can't even wrap my mind
around that level of depravity. What's wrong with them?

Speaker 4 (27:22):
There's all these different studies that have been conducted. I've
seen some interviews with some of these guys, and they
even explained it as being that they just had one
element of their life that never matured with the rest
of them. That's the most sympathetic way of doing it.
But the bottom line is it doesn't matter. They all
know it. It's wrong, no matter what the affliction actually is,

(27:44):
and they have still decided to pursue that endeavor. And
I think they all know it's wrong. And that's why
you get the people who are the Cub Scout leader
or the coach on lapoon. And it's not just because
it's a target of opportunity for them, but it's also
because they know they have this race in their ledger
and they will do untold amounts of good because they

(28:04):
think that that will cancel it out. And you just
can't ever cancel out that sort of evil good grief.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Okay, now let's move on past that we've never talked
about that I just did. I thought that would get
to me. I'm sure it would get to me. You,
Kyle Garrett, the guys who bravely spoke up when others
wouldn't have. You had any indication from the Trump administration,
who's doing amazing things right now, have you had an

(28:30):
any indication that they're going to make you guys whole.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Oh you know, I've been in some circles of conversations
around Cashptel and we've just been providing him information on that.
No sort of discussions about if we're going to have
a future prospect. My big focus is, you know, I
sort of have an I six eight moment here where
whom shall I said, Well, here I am. It's not
because I'm jumping out of my chair because I want it,

(28:56):
but I'm on this hill. I'm going to have to
fight this battle, and I'll say you can send me.
So if there's any way that I can provide him
an information like the stuff I'm giving you here, then
that's something that I will jump out. Now. Professionally, I'm
you know, I'm still in a twenty nine months later, unpaid,
undefinitely suspended and unemployable situation, so that that is definitely

(29:19):
always weighing on us. But I do think this is
a unique time in history, and I keep saying it's
a twice in a lifetime opportunity. Two plus years ago
was a once time in a lifetime opportunity. Only a
few guys like Garrett and Kyle and myself said, you know,
we have to step forward here, and so many failed.
I think that now there's an opportunity for thirty eight
to forty thousand other employees. They get a second crack

(29:40):
at it. They were way to measure and found wanting.
They punked out two years ago. But now they can
get on board and have Cashpttel maybe pull listening back
from the brink.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Let's hope they do. Steve, you are the man, my brother.
Come back soon. I appreciate you.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Yeah, thanks, Jessie, A.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Good man right there. I don't even know why I
asked that question about the child old stuff. I just
I can't wrap my mind around it. I can't anyway,
Let's move on. Let's move on. Shall we do some
emails or something? Hang on, miss something. There's a podcast
getting on demand wherever podcasts are found, The Jesse Kelly Show.

(30:18):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show. Odd a Wonderful Tuesday.
Remember if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. So
you remember what I talked about a little bit yesterday
about Biden and part of the reason he was doing
so many pardons and so much crazy stuff in his

(30:43):
final hours. And I said, there were really two main reasons.
The first one applies to his entire presidency. He was
never in charge, he was never even really there. He
was signing executive orders he didn't even know, just didn't know.
So the evil communists around him are running the country
and he was in strung enough to ever put the
brakes on them. That's why his four years was so

(31:03):
hard left. But the second part of that is the
Biden family. They are at war with the Democrat Party
because the Democrat Party knifed Joe Biden in the back,
did not let him run again, pushed him out the door.
And so now there's lasting, ingrained bitterness there and you're

(31:29):
seeing it all over the television today. I think it
was on CNN. We had an ex Biden aid who
came out and said, ah, I mean, obviously the pardons
don't look good. Corey Booker, Senator Corey Booker is having
to answer questions about it, trying the best he can

(31:49):
to defend me.

Speaker 7 (31:50):
I think that's a mistake we're seeing now is people
are trying to reduce this to tribalism. It's this is
not about Democrat or Republican. A. Biden pardoned a lot
of people, yet he should answer for that and explain
what he did and his reasoning. But the people he pardoned,
his family members, did not before the naked public eye

(32:11):
beat police officers, try to overthrow our government, lead to
the death of police officers.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I have interested tried to change to January sixth, but
that's the best he could do. That's a United States
senator supposed to be a messaging master, and the best
he can do is vah. I mean, I mean, I
guess he'll have to answer some questions about it. Trump
talked about it too.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
I was surprised that President Biden, who would go and
pardon his whole family, because that makes him look very guilty.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
You know, I could have pardoned my family. I could
have pardoned myself my family. And I said, if I
do that, it's going to make me look very guilty.
I don't think I'd be sitting here. Frankly, if I
did that, I don't think i'd be sitting here right now,
because I would have I would have shown that you're guilty.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Joe Biden is doing or did the things he did
at the end because he doesn't care about remaining in
good standing with Democrats anymore. So in the end, there
was nothing holding him back to you. That's one on
Fox News.

Speaker 10 (33:16):
It's possible this could be the closest anyone has come
to showing a transfer of money from overseas in exchange
for potential influence over US policy with Hunter Biden. Now,
we've heard about Hutter Biden's ties to the Ukrainian energy
firm Bearisma House. Investigators have probed that for months. But
how about potential links to Romania. Now, prosecutors and Hudter

(33:38):
Biden's tax case say he worked for Gabriel Popa Vichu.
He is a Romanian business magnet. Now the allegation is
that Hudter Biden and his business colleagues took three million
dollars in payments. Whis alleges they structured the deal for
Hunter so it quote concealed the true nature of the
work he was performing. Geter say there were concerns about

(34:01):
ramifications for President Biden. Papa Vichu is expected to testify
at Hunter Biden's tax evasion trial in Los Angeles that
starts September fifth.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Taking bribes from a Romanian oligarch why everyone knows, why
a lasting legacy of corruption that now is cemented in
the eyes of everybody. Here was Jonathan Turley.

Speaker 11 (34:30):
But we have never seen anyone like the Biden family.
They are in a league of their own. We're talking
millions of dollars that ultimately went through various accounts from
foreign sources. We're talking about a president who repeatedly lied
to the American people, a media that enabled all of
this to happen, and at the very end, he really

(34:52):
fulfilled the worst stereotypes of his his legacy. And I
think that ultimately this is what will be the most
lasting aspect of the Biden legacy.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Is this corruption? Ugly? Right? Well? The worst president in history?
He's up there, certainly up there. I don't know. American
history is pretty long. How much do you know about it?

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Have you?

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Have you already started your free classes from Hillsdale College yet,

more than forty free courses. If you go to Hillsdale
dot edu slash Jesse to enroll, there's no cost. Go

(36:01):
get smarter, wiser Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse. Hey, Jesse,
you rock. She's right. I have said something for years
that you echoed today, That is, the silent majority needs
to stop being silent. My question is it possible for
those final Biden pardons to actually stand up in court?

(36:23):
Can he pardon Hunter and his whole family for crimes
they haven't been charged with yet. Their name's Jennifer.

Speaker 9 (36:32):
Well.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
As I tried to explain earlier, the pardons are going
to hold up. The only way any of these people
are going to be held to account is if some
Republican age in a state, a state attorney general finds
some crimes to prosecute them for. As far as federal

(36:53):
crimes go, well, Joe Biden covered all his bases. He
rebackdated the pardons to twenty fourteen, and presidential power is
what it is. Yes, you can yell and scream, and
I can yell and scream all day long about how
that's not how they're supposed to use it. That's an overstep.
This is crazy, But that's what happens with communists. They

(37:16):
don't hold themselves back. They cannot control themselves. Communists cannot
control themselves. They have to be brought to heal by
good people. Otherwise the communists, he'll just keep going and
going and going, like the Tasmanian devil. They can't ever
stop themselves. They can't bring themselves to do it. And
that's how we got where we are now. Now, I

(37:37):
want to talk about something I'm starting to get hopeful about,
something I was not previously hopeful about. When it comes
to mass deportations and such. I'll explain next
