>> JOE BIDEN CARES ONLY ABOUT
ENRICHING HIS OWN FAMILY.
I CARE ABOUT ENRICHING YOUR
FAMILY AND YOU.
I WILL BE RETIRING THE NAME
CROOKED FROM HILLARY CLINTON.
I’M GOING RETIRE THE NAME
CROOKED SO THAT WE CAN USE THE
NAME FOR JOE BIDEN BECAUSE HE
WILL BE KNOWN FROM KNOWN FROM
NOW ON AS CROOKED JOE BIDEN.
MARIA: THAT WAS FORMER DONALD
TRUMP ANNOUNCING NEW NICKNAME
FOR JOE BIDEN.
HARRIS POLL FINDS A MAJORITY,
56% OF VOTERS BELIEVE THAT THE
BIDEN FAMILY RECEIVED MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS FROM SOURCES LINKED
TO THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
44% BELIEVE THEY DID NOT.
KELLY, O’GRADY, YOUR REACTION?
>> THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
PARTS OF ELECTION SEASON.
THE NICKNAMES THAT COME OUT OF
THIS ARE ENTERTAINING.
I THINK WE SAW THAT CROOKED
HILLARY WORKED WELL SO THIS IS A
SMART TACTIC FOR FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO TAKE.
YOU SEE PRESIDENT BIDEN NOT
PULLING WELL ON THE ECONOMY AND
YOU START TO INTRODUCE THE
QUESTION FOR VOTERS, MAKE THEM
ASK THEMSELVES, DOES HE EVEN
HAVE INTEGRITY, IS HIS FAMILY
RECEIVING MONEY FROM CHINA
ESPECIALLY AS WE HAVE BEEN TALK
ABOUT ALL MORNING THEY ARE
BECOMING INCREASINGLY BIGGER
THREAT.
SO I LIKE THE STRATEGY FROM
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE
NICKNAME, IT’S FUN.
MARIA: WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT,
JOHN, WE NOW KNOW THAT THE HOUSE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS GONE TO
THE TREASURY, HAS VIEWED THE
BANK RECORDS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
SUBPOENAING AND THEY HAVE
REPORTED THAT THERE WERE TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT THE
BIDEN FAMILY HAS TAKEN IN FROM
COMMUNIST CHINA.
WE ALSO KNOW BECAUSE JAMES COMER
TOLD ME ON SUNDAY MORNING
FUTURES HE’S PROBING SIX
SPECIFIC DECISIONS THAT JOE
BIDEN MADE AS POTENTIALLY THE
REASON THAT HE WAS PAID THAT
MONEY.
SIX DECISIONS THAT HE WORKED
WITH CHINESE REGULATORS TO
IMPLEMENT NEW RULES.
SO, HEY, IF THE SHOE FITS WEAR
IT.
>> THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT.
AMERICAN VOTERS SHOULD REALIZE
THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS
INVESTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
JOE BIDEN AND THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT WILL SEE TO IT THAT
THEY GET A POSITIVE RETURN FROM
THIS INVESTMENT.
A CLOSE LINKAGE BETWEEN CHINA
AND BIDEN VOTERS BE WARE.
MARIA: YEAH, WELL, LOOK, WE WILL
BE KEEP WATCHING THE STORY
OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THERE’S MORE
TO COME.
JAMES COMER TOLD ME HE THINKS
IT’S 12 FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE
BIDEN FAMILY THAT HAVE ACTUALLY
BEEN PART OF RECEIVING MONEY
FROM LLC’S WHICH RECEIVED MONEY
FROM THE CHINESE COMMUNIST
PARTY.
WE WILL SEE THIS AS MAJOR
ELECTION THEME IN 2024.
NOW WE UNDERSTAND SOUTH CAROLINA
GOP SENATOR TIM SCOTT IS GOING
TO BE MAKING HIS 2024
PRESIDENTIAL RUN OFFICIAL BUT --
BY THE END OF NEXT MONTH.
SCOTT ANNOUNCED IN THE
COMMITTEE, YOU KNOW, FLORIDA
GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS IS
EXPECTED TO CENTER THE RACE NEXT
MONTH.
DONALD TRUMP IS NOW SOLIDLY ON
THE LEAD IF -- IN TERM OF THE
PRIMARIES.
WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING CHANGES
IN THE COMING MONTHS WITH TIM
SCOTT AND RON DESANTIS JOINING
THE RACE.
>> THAT’S RIGHT, I’M SURE WE
WILL SEE MORE NICKNAMES, MARIA,
AS FAR AS CHALLENGERS BUT
SOMETHING ABOUT TIM SCOTT, HE’S
REALLY GOING ON A KILLING WITH
KINDNESS CAMPAIGN.
I ALMOST FEEL LIKE IT’S VERY
MUCH I’M NOT TRUMP, VERY MUCH
I’M NOT GOING TO GO NEGATIVE.
I NOTICED ON SOME OF THE
CAMPAIGN STOPS HE’S NOT THOUGH
ANSWERING QUESTIONS WHAT
RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION THAT HE
WOULD SUPPORT.
HE’S BEING VERY VAGUE, WHEN HE
DOES, IF HE DOES JUMP IN NEXT
MONTH, HE’S GOING TO HAVE TO BE
A LOT MORE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT HE
STANDS FOR VERSUS WHAT HE’S NOT.
MARIA: YEAH, AT THIS POINT, I
WANT TO SEE WHAT ALL OF THE
CANDIDATES PLANS ARE TO TACKLE
CORRUPTION.
JOHN, THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS TO
SO MANY PEOPLE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
WE HAVE SEEN TWO SYSTEMS OF
JUSTICE, TWO APPLICATIONS OF THE
LAW, WHAT IS RON DESANTIS GOING
TO DO, WHO WHAT’S IS TIM SCOTT
GOING TO DO TO ENSURE, TO PUT A
CHECK ON THIS CORRUPTION IN
PLAIN SIGHT?
>> FIRST THING -- EXACTLY, YOU
HAVE TO ASSURE A LEVEL OF
PLAYING FIELD.
IF YOU TOLERATE CORRUPTION BY
ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND ON THE
OTHER HAND YOU’RE VERY MUCH
AGAINST IT IF SOMEBODY ELSE IS
CORRUPT, I THINK WHAT YOU ARE
DOING IS YOU’RE REDUCING
CONFIDENCE.
YOU’RE DIMINISHING CONFIDENCE IN
THE LAW AND WITHOUT RESPECT FOR
THE LAW IN THIS COUNTRY, THIS
DEMOCRACY FALLS APART VERY
QUICKLY.
IN ADDITION TO CORRUPTION, I
THINK IT’S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
THAT THE CANDIDATE IMPRESSES
VOTERS THAT, INDEED, THEY ARE
GOING TO BE COMPETENT AND MY
IMPRESSION IS THAT THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION IS THE HEIGHT OF
INCOMPETENCE.
THAT’S HOW WE GOT INTO TROUBLE
WITH INFLATION AND THAT’S WHY
