>> WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.
SEAN: CONTINUING DOWN THAT ROAD,
HUNTER BIDEN APPEARED IN COURT
OVER A CHILD SUPPORT CASE
INVOLVING HIS FOUR-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER WHICH SOME HOPED COULD
SHED LIGHT ON HIS MURKY
FINANCES.
>> MEANTIMES THE HOUSE WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE CLEARED THE WAY
FOR MORE THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF
HUNTER BIDEN TAX RETURNS AFTER A
IRS WHISTLE-BLOWER ALLEGED --
WITH HIS FINANCES.
SEAN: CONGRESSMAN JASON SMITH.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, I KNOW YOU WILL
DO A INVESTIGATION ON
HUNTER BIDEN’S TAXES, HOW MUCH
HE MADE, GOOD ON YOUR COMMITTEE,
BUT IT IS REALLY HARD TO DO THAT
WORK ON CONGRESS, THAT SHOULD BE
DONE ABOUT IT FBI AND DOJ.
ARE YOU SHOCKED THAT YOU MIGHT
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF HUNTER’S
FAMILY FINANCES FROM A FAMILY
COURT JUDGE?
>> LET ME SAY THAT THE COURT
CASE GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN
BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS, IS JUST A
SIDE CASE.
PROBABLY THE INFORMATION THAT
WILL COME OUT OF THAT LAWSUIT
IS, IT IS GOING TO LOOK INTO
HUNTER BIDEN’S SHADY BUSINESS
DEALINGS, HIS POTENTIAL
INFLUENCE PEDDLING.
YOU’RE GOING TO PROBABLY SEE HOW
MUCH OF THAT ARTWORK WAS
ACTUALLY FOR.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT
IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT
IN THAT CASE TO ACTUALLY
CALCULATE THE MONTHLY CHILD
SUPPORT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE
THE TRUE EARNINGS BUT THE TRUE
EARNINGS ALSO NEEDS TO BE
REPORTED PROPERLY WITH THE IRS.
DAGEN: WE FOUND OUT TODAY FROM
HUNTER BIDEN’S OWN ATTORNEYS
THAT HE HAS ALREADY PAID
$750,000 IN CHILD SUPPORT,
$20,000 A MONTH, BUT HIS LAWYER
IS CRYING HARD TIMES, SAYING,
OH, HE SLEPT ON A COT WHEN HE
WAS IN IRELAND WITH HIS DADDY.
>> WELL, I’LL TELL YOU, WITH THE
REPORTS OF THE CONTRACTS THAT HE
RECEIVED FROM COMPANIES IN
UKRAINE, OTHER FOREIGN NATIONS,
$20,000 A MONTH DOESN’T APPEAR
TO BE THAT MUCH COMPARED TO WHAT
HE HAS BEEN PAID I THINK THAT IS
WHAT THIS CASE WILL FIGURE OUT.
EXACTLY IF HE IS UP TO PAR,
PROVIDING FOR HIS FOUR-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER HE REFUSES TO ACCEPT.
DAGEN: RIGHT.
SEAN: HOPEFULLY THROUGH THIS
FAMILY COURT AND THROUGH YOUR
COMMITTEE, JASON, YOU WILL BE
ABLE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS
FINANCES AND DOES IT LEAD TO
JOE BIDEN?
SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY
BLINKEN WAS DODGING QUESTIONS
FROM FOX NEWS’S BENJAMIN HALL ON
HIS ROLE CRAFTING A LETTER TO
DISCREDIT THE STORY ON
HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE LETTER
THAT WAS WRITTEN CONCERNING
HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP, THAT SAID
IT WAS RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR ROLE
WAS IN THAT, IF YOU INCENTIVIZED
IT?
>> WELL, FIRST ONE OF THE GREAT
BENEFITS OF THIS JOB IS THAT I
DON’T DO POLITICS AND DON’T,
DON’T ENGAGE IN IT BUT WITH
REGARD TO, TO THAT LETTER, I
DIDN’T, WASN’T MY IDEA.
DIDN’T ASK FOR IT.
DIDN’T SOLICIT IT.
I THINK THE TESTIMONY THAT THE
FORMER DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE
CIA MIKE MOWER RAEL PUT FORWARD
CONFIRMS THAT.
SEAN: CONGRESSMAN, IT IS
INTERESTING, HE SAID I DON’T DO
POLITICS IN THIS JOB BUT HE
ACTUALLY ADVOCATED FOR LETTER
WHEN HE WAS IN POLITICS.
TO DISCREDIT THE TRUE LAPTOP
FROM HUNTER BIDEN.
>> YOU KNOW IT IS AMAZING THE
SHADY DEALINGS THAT YOU’VE SEEN
WITH EVERYONE IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION, FROM THE
PRESIDENT ON DOWN.
OF COURSE HE WASN’T THE
SECRETARY AT THAT TIME BUT MAYBE
THAT IS WHAT HE WAS, MAYBE THAT
IS WHAT HE GOT FROM HIS GREAT
WORK ON HIDING THE HUNTER BIDEN
STORY TWO WEEKS BEFORE A VERY
IMPORTANT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
THAT PROBABLY HAD A BIG, BIG,
BIG OUTCOME TO IT.
DAGEN: MIKE MOREL IN THE
TESTIMONY SAID THAT HE, THE CALL
TRIGGERED THE LETTER.
THAT IS WHAT THE TESTIMONY SAYS.
THAT WHAT KICKED OFF THE LETTER
AND SET IN MOTION WAS THAT CALL,
SO SEMANTICS GAME.
BEFORE WE GO, PRESIDENT BIDEN
HAS INVITED ALL FOUR
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS TO A
MEETING TO TALK TALK DEBT, DEBT
CEILING YET SENATE MAJORITY
LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER WON’T
CONSIDER THE HOUSE’S BILL.
>> SADLY IF THE HARD RIGHT
CONTINUES TO RUN THE SHOW OF THE
HOUSES, THE DANGERS OF THE
FIRST-EVER DEFAULT WILL KEEP
GROWING.
OUR SENATE COMMITTEES WILL DO
WHAT HOUSE COMMITTEES WILL NOT
DO, EXPOSE DAMAGES THAT CUTS IN
DEFAULT ON AMERICA ACT WOULD
CAUSE TO EVERYDAY AMERICAN
FAMILIES.
DAGEN: THE MEETING IS MAY 9TH.
IT IS SPEAKER McCARTHY,
JEFFRIES, SCHUMER AND
McCONNELL WILL BE AT THE
MEETING BUT THIS BILL, THIS DEBT
CEILING BILL ALREADY PASSED BY
THE REPUBLICANS OUT OF THE
HOUSE.
WHY DOES JEFFRIES NEED TO BE
THERE?
>> LET ME TELL YOU, IF YOU JUST
LOOK AT THE RECKLESS BEHAVIOR OF
CHUCK SCHUMER, SENATE DEMOCRATS
AND PRESIDENT BIDEN, THEY NEED
TO COME TO THE TABLE AND FIGURE
OUT A WAY TO LOOK AT OUR FISCAL
CRISIS, BUT ALSO TO INCREASE THE
DEBT LIMIT.
THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS IS THE
ONLY CHAMBER THAT HAS RAISED THE
DEBT LIMIT.
THE SENATE DEMOCRATS CANNOT EVEN
PASS WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
BEEN ASKING FOR IN A CLEAN DEBT
LIMIT.
SENATOR MANCHIN AND SOME OTHERS
WON’T VOTE FOR IT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE 60 VOTES.
THEY NEED TO COME TO THE TABLE
TO START NEGOTIATING.
IF CHUCK SCHUMER COULD PASS A
CLEAN, BLANK CHECK DEBT LILT,
LIMIT, HE WOULD ALREADY DONE IT,
BUT HE CAN’T.
HE DOESN’T HAVE THE VOTES.
COME TO THE TABLE TO NEGOTIATE
WITH SPEAKER McCARTHY AND
HOUSE REPUBLICANS.
SEAN: THAT IS A GOOD POINT.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK UP THE
HOUSE BILL THAT YOU ALL PASSED
BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE A BILL TO
RESPOND WITH.
HE COMPLAINS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
THIS IS PURE POLITICS.
