SHOT IN THE HEAD.
SO EVERYONE PRAY FOR HIM.
WE ARE GETTING NEWS THIS MORNING
THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
GOING TO ALLOW THE GANG OF 8 TO
GO THROUGH THOSE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS THAT WERE FOUND AT THE
HOMES OF PRESIDENT TRUMP,
PRESIDENT BIDEN, AND VICE
PRESIDENT PENCE.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
>> WELL, I THINK WE ALL HAVE A
LOT OF QUESTIONS.
I KNOW THE GANG OF 8 HAS A LOT
OF QUESTIONS.
TWO BIG QUESTIONS THAT STAND OUT
IN MY MIND, WHY WAS DONALD TRUMP
TREATED SO DIFFERENTLY THAN JOE
BIDEN?
SECONDLY, FROM AN OVERSIGHT
STANDPOINT, WE ARE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT ONE DOCUMENT IN
PARTICULAR THAT THE PRESIDENT’S
SON EMAILED TO SOME OF HIS
ASSOCIATES ON THE WHOLE BURISMA
DEAL IN UKRAINE.
WE KNOW THAT THERE WAS A
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT AT THE BIDEN
RESIDENCE THAT PERTAINED TO
UKRAINE.
WE KNOW THAT THERE’S A DOCUMENT
ON THE PRESIDENT’S SON’S EMAIL THAT IS VERY SUSPICIOUS.
THAT IS VERY SUSPICIOUS.
SO, WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE GA
EIGHT.
ALLOW THE GANG OF EIGHT TO HAVE
ACCESS.
THERE IS A LOT OF DISTRUST AMONG
THE AVERAGE MEMBER OF CONGRESS
AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION,
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW
WITH HOW THEY HAVE HANDLED THIS
SITUATION AND ARE THEY BEING
COMPLETELY HONEST WITH NOT ONLY
CONGRESS BUT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE?
SO, HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO
FIND MORE INFORMATION OUT TODAY.
>> Brian: CONGRESSMAN.
WE DON’T KNOW -- THEY WENT INTO
JOE BIDEN’S LAWYER’S OFFICE.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY TOOK.
WE DON’T KNOW THE CONTENTS OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE.
WE DON’T KNOW SPENKLY WHAT SPECI
WAS IN REHOBOTH OR PENN.
WE KNOW A COUPLE OF DOZEN
DOCUMENTS.
BUT WE DON’T GET ANY LEAKS FROM
THAT INVESTIGATION.
MAN, DO WE GET A LOT IF YOU GET
"THE WASHINGTON POST" DELIVERED
BY YOUR PAPER BOY OR GIRL OR
WHATEVER AND YOU GET A LOT OF
INFORMATION, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THAT?
>> YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN IT.
AND IT’S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THREE
BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT OR WHAT
HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO
YEARS FOURTH BRANCH GOVERNMENT
BUREAUCRACY NO OVERSIGHT OF THIS
BUREAUCRACY.
IT GETS WORSE EVERY DAY.
WE LEARNED FROM KATHY CHUNG
TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEW THAT SHE
ACTUALLY TRANSPORTED THOSE
DOCUMENTS THAT LATER WE LEARNED
WERE CLASSIFIED TO VARIOUS
LOCATIONS, INCLUDING CHINATOWN
FOR JOE BIDEN.
AND, YET, THEY WEREN’T STORED
ANYWHERE SAFE.
THEY WEREN’T BEHIND THE LOCK.
SHE TRANSPORTED THEM IN HER CAR.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO HAD ACCESS
TO THESE DOCUMENTS BUT, YET,
DONALD TRUMP IS THE ONE THAT IS
IN ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE OVER
MISHANDLING OF CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS THAT HE KEPT BEHIND A
LOCK IN HIS BASEMENT IN
MAR-A-LAGO.
>> Steve: WELL, THIS STORY IS
BREAKING THIS MORNING.
IT’S FROM PUNCH BOWL NEWS.
AND WHAT IT SAYS ESSENTIALLY IS
THAT THIS IS A WIN FOR
CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT THE
SENATORS MARK WARNER AND MARCO
RUBIO BOTH HAD BEEN PRESSING
SHOW THE GANG OF EIGHT WHAT IS
IN IT BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH
INTEREST.
THE AVERAGE RANK AND FILE MEMBER
OF CONGRESS NOT GOING TO SEE IT.
BUT THE GANG OF ATE WILL AND THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY CAN
THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY CAN
TELL YOU.
>> DO YOU TRUST THE QUANG OF 8?
>> Brian: WHO IS BRIEFING THEM?
>> I TRUST THE GANG OF 8.
I DON’T TRUST THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
>> Brian: WHOEVER IS BRIEFING
THEM WILL DECIDE WHAT THE GANG
OF 8 WILL LEARN.
>> THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM THERE.
>> Ainsley: THEY WON’T BE ABLE
TO SEE ALL OF THE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS?
HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING?
>> Brian: IT’S GOING TO BE THEIR
DECISION.
WE DON’T KNOW.
>> WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT.
>> Steve: MEANWHILE, LET’S TALK
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS.
ON MONDAY MORNING, HERE IN
MANHATTAN, OVER AT THE JAVITS
CENTER.
THEY HAVE A FIELD HEARING WHERE
THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IS
GOING TO BE INTERVIEWING SOME OF
THE VICTIMS OF ALVIN BRAGG’S
POLICIES HERE IN NEW YORK.
OF COURSE, HE IS THE MANHATTAN
D.A. WHO HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF
BEING SOFT ON CRIME.
HE IS ALSO THE GUY WHO INDICTED
DONALD TRUMP JUST ABOUT A WEEK
AGO AS WELL.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE
GOING TO LEARN?
>> WELL, I THINK THAT IT’S VERY
GOOD THAT THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE IS GOING TO HAVE THAT
FIELD HEARING IN NEW YORK CITY.
CRIME IS A HUGE ISSUE IN
AMERICA.
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT’S BEEN A
PRIORITY FOR THE REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE.
WE HAVE LOOKED AT CRIME.
WE BELIEVE WE HAVE HIGH CRIME
RATES FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
TWO OF WHICH ARE WE DON’T HAVE A
SECURE BORDER.
THEREFORE, MORE DRUGS ARE
POURING ACROSS THE BORDER
LEADING TO MORE CRIMES AND A LOT
OF SOFT ON CRIME PROSECUTORS.
I THINK THAT’S ONE OF THE AREAS
THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT WITH
ALVIN BRAGG.
OUR RESOURCES ARE LIMITED.
THE COURT DOCKETS ARE LIMITED.
BUT WE HAVE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
AND PROSECUTORS WHO ARE FOCUSING
ON THINGS TO ENHANCE THEIR
POLITICAL CAREER AS OPPOSED TO
TRYING TO PUT REAL CRIMINALS
BEHIND THE BARS FOR SHOPLIFTING,
FOR MURDER, FOR RAPE.
FOR CARJACKING.
THIS IS -- THESE ARE PROBLEMS IN
NEW YORK CITY JUST LIKE EVERY
OTHER BIG CITY IN AMERICA.
I THINK THAT’S WHAT THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IS GOING TO
FOCUS ON IN NEW YORK CITY AND
SEE WHERE ALVIN BRAGG STACKS UP
IN ALL THAT.
>> Brian: ALVIN BRAGG SAYS DON’T
BE FOOLED.
COMING TO A CITY IN AMERICA FOR
A POLITICAL STUNT.
WON’T ENGAGE IN ACTUAL EFFORT TO
INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY SUCH AS
SUPPORTING NATIONAL GUN
LEGISLATION AND SHUTTING DOWN
THE IRON PIPELINE.
>> I DON’T THINK MANY PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO COME TO HIS DEFENSE AND
SAY NEW YORK CITY IS THE SAFEST
CITY IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
>> Brian: NOBODY.
>> Ainsley: NUMBERS IN NEW YORK
CITY COMPARED TO NUMBERS IN
OHIO, WHICH IS WHERE JIM JORDAN
IS FROM.
WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THE HUNTER
BIDEN INVESTIGATION?
I KNOW YOU’RE HOUSE OVERSIGHT,
Y’ALL ARE INVESTIGATING THAT.
>> A LOT.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALMOST THROUGH
ALL OF THE SUSPICIOUS ACTS TIFLT
REPORTS.
REMEMBER, THESE ARE THE BANK
VIOLATIONS THAT JANET YELLEN
SAID SHE WOULD NEVER ALLOW THE
REPUBLICANS ON THE OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE TO HAVE ACCESS TO EVEN
THOUGH SHE IS SUPPOSED TO.
SHE SAID IN HER LAST LETTER
BEFORE SHE LET US.
IN YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
PROVIDE EVIDENCE AS TO WHY WE
SHOULD ALLOW YOU.
IN WE PROVIDED EVIDENCE THAT A
LOT OF PEOPLE HAVEN’T SEEN THE
NEXT DAY WE ARE ALLOWED IN.
AND IT’S BEEN VERY VALUABLE TO
OUR INVESTIGATION.
WE’RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A
PRESS CONFERENCE WITHIN THE NEXT
TWO WEEKS TO UPDATE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT ALL WE FOUND,
BUT IT’S VERY CONCERNING.
AND I THINK JOE BIDEN IS GOING
TO HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO
DO WITH RESPECT TO HOW MANY
COUNTRIES HIS FAMILY WAS
INFLUENCE PEDDLING IN AND HOW
MANY MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY WERE
INVOLVED IN THIS INFLUENCE
PEDDLING SCHEME.
>> Ainsley: WAS HE GETTING PAID
BY HIS SON?
>> WELL, WE ARE STILL LOOKING
INTO THAT.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
LLCs THAT WERE FUNNELING AND
LAUNDERING MONEY FROM THESE
COUNTRIES AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
EXPENSES THAT ARE CREDIT CARD
BILLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE HAVE SOME TIPS ON WHAT SOME
OF THOSE CREDIT CARD EXPENSES
WERE.
WE’RE GOING TO KEEP DIGGING AND
I THINK THAT IN THE END THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIDEN
FAMILY.
>> Steve: CONGRESSMAN, EXIT
QUESTION FOR YOU.
HAVE YOU FOUND THAT THEY -- HAVE
YOU FOUND EVIDENCE THAT ANYBODY
BROKE ANY LAW?
>> WELL, IF THE PRESIDENT WAS
INVOLVED IN THIS, OBVIOUSLY HE
WOULD HAVE BROKEN MANY LAWS
BECAUSE WE DON’T BELIEVE THAT
CHINA WOULD HAVE PAID THE BIDEN
FAMILY MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS FOR NOTHING.
WE BELIEVE THAT CHINA WAS MORE
THAN LIKELY GETTING SOMETHING IN
RETURN.
THE SAME COULD BE SAID FOR
UKRAINE WITH BURISMA, THE SAME
COULD BE SAID FOR SOME OF THESE
SHADY CHARACTERS THEY WERE
DEALING WITH IN RUSSIA.
SO WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO
DETERMINE IS IF, IN FACT, JOE
BIDEN MADE POLICY DECISIONS AND
DID THINGS THAT WERE NOT IN THE
BEST INTEREST OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE IN ORDER TO ENRICH HIS
FAMILY, THEN THOSE ARE LAWS THAT
ARE CERTAINLY BROKEN.
WE’RE GOING TO FIX THE LAWS ON
INFLUENCE PEDDLING.
THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.
>> Brian: ABSOLUTELY.
>> IF WE DON’T HAVE TIGHTER
ETHICS LAWS YOU WILL HAVE
COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA THAT ARE
GOING TO COME IN AND BUY OFF
RELATIVES OF HIGH RANKING
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO SAY LIKE THE
DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING NOW WELL,
THEY DIDN’T BREAK ANY LAWS.
WELL, WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE
LAWS.
BUT WITH RESPECT TO JOE BIDEN.
WE’RE FOCUSED ON HIM BECAUSE WE
ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT HIS
FAMILY WAS GETTING THIS MONEY
BECAUSE OF THINGS HE WAS DOING
BOTH AS VICE PRESIDENT AND
PRESIDENT.
>> Brian: IS IT TRUE YOU FLIPPED
ONE OF HUNTER BIDEN’S BUSINESS
PARTNERS IS COOPERATING?
>> WE HAVE SEVERAL OF HUNTER
BIDEN’S BUSINESS PARTNERS WHO
WERE IN COMMUNICATION WITH RIGHT
NOW.
AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO LEARN A LOT MORE
ABOUT THIS IN THE COMING WEEKS.
