DAVID: THE WHITE HOUSE ON MONDAY
ANNOUNCING IT WILL NOT SEND ANY
U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO THE
FEBRUARY BEIJING WINTER OLYMPIC
GAMES, CONDEMNING THE COUNTRY’S
MISTREATMENT OF TIBETANS AND
MUSLIM UYGHUR POPULATION AS WELL
AS NATIONAL SECURITY CRACKDOWNS
IN HONG KONG BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
CORPORATIONS?
SOME TOP TIER OF U.S. OLYMPIC
PARTNERS, COCA-COLA, VISA,
AIRBNB, CAN THESE MULTINATIONALS
STICK WITH THE EVENT?
JOINING ME HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
AND JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBER,
CONGRESSMAN DARRELL ISSA.
CONGRESSMAN ISSA, GREAT TO SEE
YOU AGAIN.
A DIPLOMATIC BOYCOTT, FRANKLY I
DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS WHEN I
HEARD ABOUT IT A FEW MONTHS AGO.
I WONDER IF THAT IS ENOUGH IN
YOUR MIND?
>> IT IS HALF OF WHAT JIMMY
CARTER DID IF THAT STANDS IN THE
WAY OF DIPLOMATIC I’M CONCERNED
THIS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
NOT SINCE THE 1970S HAVE WE
LOOKED SO WEAK TO THE RUSSIANS
AND THE CHINESE.
WE’RE IN A SITUATION IN WHICH
THE RUSSIANS ARE ON THE UKRAINE
BORDER CLEARLY IN AN
ANTAGONISTIC WAY.
THE CHINESE DO WHAT THEY WANT TO
DO, ANY WAY THEY WANT TO DO IT,
AND PEOPLE WHO WILL BE THE
ADULTS IN FOREIGN POLICY ARE NOW
DOING ONE OF THE MOST CHILDISH
THINGS YOU CAN DO, A QUARTER
MEASURE.
JIMMY CARTER DID A HALF MEASURE
BY HAVING THE OLYMPIANS NOT GO
EVEN AFTER THE INTERNATIONAL
MONEY, INCLUDING U.S. MONEY WAS
IN THE OLYMPICS.
IN THIS CASE WE’RE DOING HALF OF
THAT HALF.
DAVID: EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS
WE’RE GETTING A HANDLE ON THE
PANDEMIC WE STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN
A CLEAR, POSITIVE, OPEN,
RESPONSE TO OUR REQUESTS FROM
THE CHINESE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE WUHAN LAB, ABOUT HOW THE
PANDEMIC GOT OUT, ABOUT THEIR
OWN REALLY INEXCUSABLE BEHAVIOR
AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WHOLE
THING BY CLOSING DOWN CITIES IN
CHINA BUT ALLOW INDIVIDUALS
INFECTED GO THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.
THEY HAVE DONE SO MUCH, THEY
BEAR SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE KILLED
AROUND THE WORLD BY THIS VIRUS,
ISN’T THAT ALONE ENOUGH TO
BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS FULL
THROTTLE?
>> THERE IS MANY REASONS ONE
MIGHT BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS.
I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING
THOUGH IS, THAT IF YOU’RE GOING
TO DO IT, THIS IS NOT TIMELY
FASHION AND IT WILL NOT MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
THE FACT IS, YOU SAID IT EXACTLY
RIGHT.
TOMORROW, A NEW VIRUS COULD COME
OUT OF CHINA AND THE EXACT SAME
THING COULD HAPPEN AND WE WOULD
HAVE NO WARNING.
AND BY THE WAY AS OF TOMORROW 30
TO 50,000 MARINES, AIRMEN, ARMY
PERSONNEL, ARE BEING
INVOLUNTARILY AND LESS THAN
HONORABLY DISCHARGED IF THEY
WERE NOT WILLING TO GET THEIR
FIRST AND SECOND VACCINES.
LITERALLY, WE ARE AT A TIME IN
WHICH OUR MILITARY DEMORALIZED
FROM UKRAINE IS NOW BEING
DEMORALIZED BY SEEING MANY OF
THEIR LEADERSHIP, EVEN 19-YEAR
VETERANS WHO ARE COMBAT
VETERANS, WHO HAD COVID, SEEING
THEM DISCHARGED WHILE BY THE WAY
THE PRESIDENT HAS EXEMPTED THE
REST OF THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE
FOR AT LEAST A YEAR.
BRIAN: YEAH.
CONGRESSMAN, THERE IS ANOTHER
THING, IT IS SOMETHING YOU WON’T
HEAR ABOUT IN THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA AT ALL, THE FACT HUNTER
BIDEN IS SELLING SHARES, SELLING
SOME OF HIS SHARES OF ASSETS IN
A COMPANY, A FINANCIAL COMPANY
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IS
CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT,
THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT OF
CHINA.
JEN PSAKI AND OTHERS IN THE
WHITE HOUSE WON’T TALK ABOUT TO
WHOM HE SELLING IT FOR HOW MUCH.
HERE IS HOW SHE RESPONDS TO
QUESTIONS LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF
THE MEDIA.
ROLL TAPE.
>> HOPING YOU COULD GET TO BASIC
TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THAT
TRANSACTION INCLUDING THE NAIL
OF BUYER, DOLLAR AMOUNT, TIMING.
THE SECOND QUESTION, MY
COLLEAGUE MIRANDA DEVINE HAS A
NEW BOOK OUT CALLED THE LAST COP
FROM HELL.
I WAS HOPING YOU COULD CONFIRM
THE LAPTOP IS INDEED AUTHENTIC
AND NOT RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION?
>> THE PRESIDENT’S SON IS NOT
EMPLOYEE OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT SO I APPOINT YOU TO
HIS REPRESENTATIVES.
AS IT RELATES TO THE BOOK
"FORTNITE" HAVE THE TIME OR
INTEREST EXPLORING READING THE
BOOK.
DAVID: AFTER ALL THE UNRESOLVED
QUESTIONS, ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN,
WHETHER JOE BIDEN GOT MONEY FROM
THE CHINESE OPERATIONS THEY WERE
INVOLVED WITH, DON’T WE DESERVE
A BETTER ANSWER THAN THAT?
>> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE
TRANSPARENCY, IN THE CASE OF
ANYONE WHO CAN FLY ON
AIR FORCE ONE AS FAMILY MEMBER
OF THE PRESIDENT OR
VICE PRESIDENT IN THE CASE OF
AIR FORCE TWO, THEY SHOULD HAVE
THEIR FINANCES MADE AS
TRANSPARENT AS PRESIDENT,
VICE PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS, THE MEMBERS CABINET.
THIS LOOPHOLE ALLOWED HUNTER
BIDEN TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY,
SOME OF IT EVENTUALLY GOING TO
THE PRESIDENT IS A LOOPHOLE THAT
HAS TO BE CLOSED.
IT IS A LOOPHOLE THAT SHOULD
NEVER HAVE EXISTED.
NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRADE
ON THE PRESIDENT DECADES AGO,
ONCE AGAIN, JIMMY CARTER,
BILLY’S BEER TRADED ON THE
REPUTATION BUT AT LEAST HE WAS
SELLING IT TO THE PUBLIC.
IT WAS LAUGHABLE.
THIS IN FACT REPRESENTS A THREAT
TO NATIONAL SECURITY AND HUNTER
BIDEN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON
AIR FORCE ONE OR IN THE
WHITE HOUSE.
DAVID: PARTICULARLY SINCE WE’RE
TRADING, HE HAS BEEN TRADING
WITH AN ENEMY IT CAN BE ARGUED
OF THE UNITED STATES AT THE
MOMENT.
IT IS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.
