That's the sound of me prepping the grill
0:02
with Reynolds Wrap. And the sound of me
0:04
not doing dishes. And the sound
0:06
of me spending more time outside with
0:08
my family.
0:09
Easy prep, cook and clean.
0:11
Make time with Reynolds Wrap. I
0:13
like the sound of that. This episode is brought

That's friendofdinesh.com. Coming
0:25
up, I'll reveal the central role of CISA,
0:28
the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Agency,
0:30
in directing government censorship
0:32
through digital platforms. Representative
0:35
Clay Higgins of Louisiana joins me. We're going
0:37
to talk about the evidence that would form, that
0:39
could form, the basis of multiple
0:42
impeachments. And I'll show how a
0:44
top Biden official was the leading conduit
0:47
of COVID misinformation, even though
0:49
she knew her claims were
0:51
false. Hey, if you're watching on Rumble

Dinesh D'Souza Show.
1:22
This is the Dinesh D'Souza Podcast. There's
1:28
a new report by the House
1:30
Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization
1:33
of the Federal Government, and it's
1:35
part of the continuing exposure
1:39
of the magnitude of censorship being pushed
1:41
by all the different elements
1:43
of the Biden regime. There's
1:46
a very interesting phrase in this report I
1:48
want to highlight, and it comes out
1:50
of a document by
1:52
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency,
1:55
which is called CISA, C-I-S-A. And
1:59
it says this. that SISA is using,
2:01
quote, a
2:03
whole of government approach
2:06
to tackling speech. We
2:08
are working with federal partners to mature
2:11
a whole of government approach
2:13
to mitigating risks of MDM.
2:16
MDM is misinformation
2:18
and disinformation. So
2:21
this whole of government approach is that
2:23
we coordinate. We have SISA over
2:25
here. We have the State Department over
2:28
here, Department of Homeland Security. We have
2:30
the FBI, we have the DOJ and
2:33
the White
2:33
House, and we are collectively
2:35
pressuring these digital
2:38
platforms to censor more.
2:42
And this
2:45
is a disturbing development
2:47
because of course it is horrendously
2:50
unconstitutional.
2:52
Congress shall make no law
2:55
restricting freedom of speech or of the
2:57
press. I'm essentially quoting the First
2:59
Amendment. And Congress here refers
3:03
to the entire federal government, including
3:06
the delegated branch, the executive branch,
3:08
which of course is authorized
3:10
by Congress to carry out the laws
3:13
that are passed by Congress. They too
3:15
are forbidden from
3:17
restricting freedom of speech. And yet here they
3:19
clearly are.
3:21
I'm quoting from the testimony now of Michael
3:23
Schellenberger testifying
3:26
before the House. And
3:28
he says, quote, the censorship industrial
3:31
complex combines established
3:33
methods of psychological manipulation,
3:36
some developed by the US military
3:39
during the global war on terror with
3:41
highly sophisticated tools from
3:44
computer science. So
3:46
there's an effort here to really
3:48
control and manipulate the minds
3:51
of the American people. It isn't just a matter of I'm going to
3:54
de-platform you or take down your post.
3:56
It is trying to reshape the
3:58
minds of the American people. American people and
4:01
at the heart of this is this group called SISA.
4:04
This is the this is a group
4:06
that was set up to protect against
4:09
hacking. I mean as the name
4:11
suggests a cybersecurity and infrastructure
4:14
agency. So they're supposed to prevent for example
4:16
efforts to interfere
4:19
in election software, efforts
4:22
to to undermine the technological
4:24
capacity of the
4:26
United States and yet and here
4:29
they are in
4:31
a self-appointed role of regulating
4:33
speech. And they
4:36
know that what they're doing is wrong. Why? Because
4:39
they're trying to do it through the back door. In
4:41
fact, the House has now discovered the GOP House
4:44
that they have gone back on their website and
4:47
taken out terms like disinformation
4:49
and misinformation. They're hiding what they're
4:52
doing and this
4:54
concealment operation is is critical.
4:57
Here is a here's a
5:00
September 26, 2022 email
5:04
from Anneliese Craven. She's an assistant
5:06
US attorney with the Department of Justice and
5:09
she's talking about SISA documents
5:11
that have been demanded under the Freedom of Information
5:13
Act.
5:14
Could we please see a copy of any
5:16
relevant SISA documents that you may plan
5:19
to produce? We're also not sure
5:21
when you receive the records request, but we'd like
5:23
to have an extension of time to review them and
5:25
assess whether we have to file suit to
5:28
protect them from disclosure.
5:30
So here's the DOJ saying to SISA, hey listen,
5:33
you don't have to give up those documents because
5:35
we can file a motion to block it so you
5:37
can continue to do your censorship in private
5:40
without scrutiny by the media or
5:42
by the American people.
5:44
One other thing I want to highlight about
5:46
the censorship industrial complex is
5:49
that the term that keeps being
5:51
used by SISA isn't just misinformation
5:54
or disinformation, but a new term
5:56
and a very telling one, malinformation.
5:59
Now, what is malinformation? Well, the word mal
6:02
generally means bad. Maladroit
6:05
means someone who's clumsy. Maladministration,
6:08
something that's poorly administered. So,
6:11
malinformation here is information that
6:13
is, quote, bad information. But bad, why?
6:15
What's interesting is the way they define malinformation,
6:18
it is, quote, information based
6:21
on fact, but used out of context
6:23
to mislead harm or manipulate. In
6:25
other words, even if you say something
6:28
that's true, this can
6:30
be declared as being misleading
6:32
because where's the context? Dinesh,
6:34
you've made a quotation out of context.
6:37
Now, first of all, all quotations are out of context
6:39
because that's what it means to have a quotation.
6:42
If I quote for more in peace and you say,
6:44
Dinesh, you have to provide the full context, well,
6:46
that means I've got to quote the whole book. So,
6:48
a quotation is by definition something
6:50
lifted out of the book. Now, for some reason,
6:52
it inverts the meaning of
6:55
the paragraph or the meaning
6:57
of what the author is trying to convey. But
6:59
the point here is that they are trying
7:02
to censor accurate information because
7:04
they believe it will have a harmful social
7:06
effect and they get to define what harmful
7:08
is. So, what
7:11
you have here is disguise censorship,
7:13
censorship that is often done by proxy.
7:16
What Saisa does, for example, is they feed
7:18
information to these nonprofits. The
7:20
nonprofits then deposit them into the portals
7:23
of digital platforms. The digital platforms
7:25
engage in the censorship. So, this
7:28
is quite clearly
7:29
coordinated with the government. And
7:31
as I say, it's not just censorship of things
7:33
that are false, but also things that happen to
7:36
be true.

8:33
The number again 800-876-0227. Don't forget to use promo
8:35
code Dinesh. I
8:41
mentioned yesterday about how the
8:43
conflict in Ukraine is routinely
8:46
presented as a clash
8:49
between the liberal values of
8:51
the West and the illiberal
8:54
values of Putin and of
8:56
Russia. Now what are
8:59
these so-called liberal
9:01
values? They are values
9:03
like free elections and democracy,
9:07
they are values like freedom
9:10
of speech, basic civil
9:12
liberties, equal rights under
9:14
the law. So the question becomes are
9:16
these values in fact being celebrated
9:19
in the West? Are they being practiced
9:21
in the West? Are they being practiced in
9:23
Ukraine? Well we know that
9:26
Ukraine cracks down on political dissidents,
9:28
we know that they restrict
9:31
freedom of speech and other basic
9:33
civil liberties and so
9:35
there is a rampant
9:37
illiberalism in Ukraine. I'm
9:39
not even going into the issue of the
9:42
presence of Nazi
9:45
forces as part of Ukraine's
9:47
cherished battalions. But
9:50
the latest development that cements the point
9:52
that Ukraine is hardly a champion
9:55
of liberalism is the cancellation
9:58
of elections. to
10:00
have elections next year, but the president,
10:03
Zelensky, says there won't be
10:05
any elections next year as long
10:07
as martial law remains in force
10:09
due to the ongoing war in the country.
10:12
Now, this is something that Zelensky said in
10:14
a recent interview with The Washington Post. He's going to
10:17
delay, not cancel,
10:19
but indefinitely postpone the
10:22
October elections that were
10:26
were scheduled, and the
10:28
presidential, the October
10:30
elections were parliamentary elections and the
10:32
presidential election early
10:34
next year. Now, it
10:37
should be said that Ukraine is in wartime,
10:40
and in wartime you don't have
10:43
the same liberties that you do in peacetime.
10:45
Now, that is true all over the world. It
10:47
was true in the United States in World War I
10:49
and World War II, although arguably in World
10:52
War I particularly, the restrictions
10:54
against dissent and civil liberties were excessive.
10:57
They're now generally acknowledged to be that way.
10:59
Now, Zelensky in his interview with
11:02
The Washington Post said, quote, that the Ukrainian
11:04
constitution
11:06
prohibits any elections during
11:08
martial law. So, this is
11:10
his justification. We can't have an election
11:12
because read the Ukrainian constitution. It doesn't
11:15
allow elections during a war
11:18
and during martial law. Now,
11:20
if you take a look at the Ukrainian constitution,
11:22
it doesn't say that. What it says
11:24
is that in times of war and
11:27
under martial law, elections
11:30
may be suspended. So,
11:32
what's the distinction? Well, the distinction is that the constitution
11:35
says that you can't have elections, but
11:38
you don't have to have elections. It's in
11:40
a sense that the decision is left up
11:42
to the Ukrainian government and
11:45
the Ukrainian president, which is
11:47
Zelensky. So, the point here is that Zelensky is
11:49
choosing not to have an election, but
11:51
he's trying to make it sound like a kind of inevitability.
11:54
Oh, gee, my hands are tired. The constitution says we
11:56
can't have an election. The constitution says you
11:58
can. The constitution says that
12:00
elections may be suspended, but they don't have
12:02
to be suspended. Now, if it seems like,
12:04
wait a minute, Dinesh, when can you give an example
12:06
where in the middle of a tumultuous
12:09
war, a country had elections? And
12:11
my example would be the United States
12:13
in 1864, in
12:16
the very heart of the Civil War. Abraham
12:19
Lincoln allowed the presidential election
12:21
to proceed on schedule.
12:23
In fact, it's an election that he expected
12:26
to lose. Lincoln was making preparations
12:29
to vacate the White
12:29
House. He thought the Democrats were going to win. It was
12:32
only last minute victories on the part
12:34
of the Union Army, particularly in Georgia,
12:37
that turned the tide of public opinion and
12:39
Lincoln comfortably won the 1864 election. So
12:42
you can have elections. It's just
12:44
that Zelensky is choosing not
12:46
to. And I think all of this adds up to the fact that
12:49
it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to
12:51
talk about Russia being illiberal and
12:54
Ukraine being liberal, when there's
12:56
a kind of deep strain of illiberalism
12:59
in both places.
13:02
If aches
13:02
and pains are your problem, relief factor is
13:04
your solution. Debbie and I started taking relief
13:07
factor a couple of years ago. The difference we've seen
13:09
in our joints, nothing short of amazing. Aches
13:11
and pains are totally gone, thanks to this 100%
13:14
drug-free solution called
13:16
relief factor. How does it work? Relief factor
13:18
supports your body's fight against inflammation.
13:20
That's the source of aches and pains. The
13:23
vast majority of people who try relief factor become
13:25
regular customers. They order more because
13:27
it works for them. Debbie's a true believer.
13:29
She can now do the exercises that for a long
13:31
time she wasn't able to
13:32
do. It's been a game changer for
13:34
her, her aunt, other members of our family,
13:37
Mike here in the studio, and for many
13:39
other people. You too can benefit. Try it for yourself.
13:42
Order the three-week quick start for the discounted
13:44
price of just $19.95. Go

13:59
a new guest, Congressman Clay Higgins
14:02
from Louisiana's 3rd District. He's
14:05
a member of the House Freedom Caucus. He also serves
14:07
on the House Homeland Security Committee
14:09
and senior member of the House Oversight
14:12
and Accountability Committee. You
14:14
can follow him on Twitter at repClayHiggins.
14:17
His website, clayhiggins.house.gov.
14:22
Clay, welcome to the podcast. Great to have you.
14:24
It seems like every single day there's
14:27
some new revelation
14:30
about the Biden family,
14:32
not just Hunter Biden, but Joe
14:34
Biden and the kind of family
14:36
operation they appear to be running.
14:39
Let me start by asking you, what is the level
14:42
of concern about all this
14:45
on your part and also the part of your colleagues,
14:48
Republican colleagues in the House? Well,
14:52
our concern is primarily
14:55
focused on whether
14:58
or not our executive branch
15:00
is compromised in some way.
15:04
And unfortunately, the deeper
15:07
we go into the investigation, the
15:09
more it appears that's very likely to be
15:11
the case. I mean, Hunter
15:14
Biden and
15:16
his behaviors and his
15:19
struggles in life are of zero
15:22
concern to us congressionally.
15:25
But the fact that
15:26
the Biden family, who we
15:28
now refer to as the Biden crime family,
15:33
have no doubt, according to bank
15:35
records, which are quite reliable
15:39
sources of investigative material,
15:42
according to bank records, the Biden
15:45
family, including Hunter
15:47
and President Biden,
15:50
have been involved in receiving
15:52
large sums of money
15:54
from overseas
15:56
nations
15:58
in exchange for apparently,
16:02
the access to
16:04
the power that
16:07
Joe Biden had as vice president.
16:10
And the concern now is
16:13
whether or not that compromise
16:16
and that behavior, that criminal behavior
16:18
from years ago has
16:21
extended into
16:23
a compromise executive branch
16:25
for the United States of America, a compromise
16:28
president, may I
16:30
add inaugurated president of
16:33
the United States. So we're
16:35
very concerned and asked that
16:38
the evidence we're revealing
16:40
is quite
16:42
legitimately indicative
16:45
of criminal behavior. But
16:48
we're not interested in
16:50
Hunter at all,
16:51
other than by virtue of the fact
16:54
that
16:55
that he was essentially the
16:57
point salesman, shall we say,
17:00
for selling
17:02
access to his dad. And then
17:06
the laundering of payment is
17:09
where the rest of the family members got
17:11
involved, so that they could
17:13
disperse those payments throughout the
17:15
Biden family in
17:18
any effort to conceal that money. That's
17:21
what we're revealing.
17:23
And it's startling to
17:25
observe. It's shocking. Now,
17:27
am I right in understanding that even though
17:30
there's a lot of focus on Gary Shapley
17:32
and the IRS whistleblower and the tax
17:35
element of this, which is that all this money comes
17:37
in, you don't seem to have disclosed or
17:39
paid taxes on it. The real issue
17:41
here isn't just the taxes. It's
17:44
the legitimacy of the transactions in
17:46
the first place, isn't it? In other words,
17:48
it's the idea that Joe Biden
17:50
and the Biden family were selling something.
17:53
And now the question becomes what?
17:56
Right? I notice a lot of mainstream
17:58
media are not covering this.
17:59
But let's just say that they were to cover
18:02
it. Can you think of a legitimate defense
18:04
here? Could they say, you know what? We're not selling
18:07
political influence. We're actually selling,
18:09
I
18:10
don't know, apples, we're selling widgets.
18:13
Did they have anything else to sell? It's
18:15
an important point, Dinesh, because you
18:18
have in any investigation,
18:21
a criminal investigation, you have
18:23
to take on the perspective
18:26
of what we refer to as a reasonable man.
18:29
So any reasonable
18:31
assessment
18:32
of the transactions that the
18:34
Bidens were involved in, they
18:36
were selling something, you're right. And
18:39
the only thing they had to sell in
18:41
these shell businesses that they set up,
18:43
the shells were empty. It's why they're
18:45
called shells. There was nothing there. They were selling
18:48
no, they
18:50
had no product nor service
18:53
to sell. So a reasonable
18:55
man would presume that, and
18:58
the corroborative evidence that we've observed
19:01
from other sources, emails, telephone
19:04
conversations, whistleblower
19:06
testimony, the corroborative
19:09
evidence
19:10
seems to support the
19:13
reasonable conclusion
19:15
that they were selling access to Joe Biden.
19:18
And that's it, I mean, he was a Senator
19:21
for a long time. And if you
19:23
think about the access
19:25
to information and the access
19:28
to stakeholders and very
19:30
powerful men and women across the country,
19:33
and indeed the world that a longstanding
19:36
Senator would have, and then
19:39
look at the power he would have as Vice President
19:41
for eight years, and
19:44
now as Inaugurated President
19:46
of the United States, it's
19:49
quite clear that Joe Biden
19:51
has a tremendous amount of influence
19:54
across
19:55
the world. And it's
19:57
quite clear that Hunter Biden,
20:00
Biden and the rest of the
20:02
Biden crime family had
20:04
nothing else to sell to
20:06
these nation states other
20:08
than access to Joe Biden.
20:11
And why would they want access to
20:13
Joe Biden? Because of his influence. So
20:16
that is specifically, that's influence
20:18
peddling. That is against the
20:20
law.
20:23
And further, it's in
20:26
it endangers the stability
20:29
of the United States of America and the
20:31
integrity of our interactions with
20:34
nation states across the globe
20:36
that rely upon us for the integrity
20:39
of our executive branch. And if our
20:42
executive branch is indeed compromised
20:45
inesh, then Congress must
20:47
act
20:48
and the
20:49
DOJ
20:52
must act. Although we have very
20:54
little confidence in this DOJ. They've
20:57
been involved in concealing some of this
20:59
stuff.
21:00
Let's take a pause when we come back more from Congressman
21:03
Clay Higgins.
21:06
Debbie and I started eating better this year. We've lost
21:08
weight, but foods we can't seem to eat enough
21:11
of and it's a requirement are veggies and
21:13
fiber. Now, what better way to get all
21:15
your fruits and veggies plus fiber than

with balance of nature. This is
21:19
balance of nature's fiber and spice. It's a proprietary

blend of 12 spices for digestive
21:24
health. The intense flavors and deep colors
21:26

whole food source of phytonutrition available.
21:32

21:59
go to
21:59
balanceofnature.com. Use
22:02
discount code AMERICA. I'm
22:04
back with Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana.
22:07
You can follow him on Twitter, at Rep. Clay Higgins.
22:10
His website, clayhiggins.house.gov. Clay,
22:14
we're talking about the Bidens and the
22:16
Biden crime family, as you mentioned. Now,
22:19
I want to highlight a couple of recently
22:21
disclosed messages from Hunter
22:23
Biden to Chinese entities.
22:26
In the one case, Hunter Biden says, the
22:29
Biden family is top
22:31
of the line. I'm paraphrasing here, not quoting
22:33
exactly, in being able to deliver
22:36
what the chairman wants. Now, I'm assuming
22:38
he's not talking about Chairman Xi, but the
22:40
chairman of this Chinese entity, which is, of course,
22:42
under the control of the
22:45
Chinese government and the Chinese political
22:47
forces. And in the second email,
22:50
Hunter Biden is sort of trying to
22:52
extract money, saying, in
22:54
effect, I'm sitting here with my dad,
22:56
with my father, and you've
22:58
made commitments and you better come through
23:01
on these commitments right now. And
23:03
if not, I will unleash and my father will
23:05
unleash our influence and our vengeance on you.
23:08
I mean, this seems to me to
23:10
be pretty close to a smoking gun, isn't
23:12
it? I mean, Rep. Claudia
23:14
Tenney verified that this text
23:17
was sent when Hunter Biden
23:19
was at the Biden family residence. So
23:21
Joe Biden was present. We don't know for
23:23
a fact independently if he was in the room,
23:26
but he was certainly on the premises.
23:29
So how does one take
23:31
something like this and then sort of nail
23:33
it down by finding out exactly
23:35
whether Joe Biden was there? Because that
23:37
proves he was lying about having nothing to do.
23:40
I don't even know what my son's business
23:42
dealings were. What are the next steps to
23:44
be taken?
23:47
Well, clearly, it's
23:50
a very incriminating piece of evidence,
23:52
but it's one of many.
23:54
And the defense
23:57
that they that they seem to prefer,
23:59
Biden's and
24:01
everyone in the mainstream
24:03
media that attempts to defend
24:06
the indefensible is that,
24:09
well, Hunter Biden, those
24:11
are the rantings
24:13
of a disturbed,
24:16
drug-addicted man. But
24:19
from an investigator's perspective,
24:21
you back up from all of that. You don't get emotionally
24:24
involved in what the source
24:27
of the evidence was.
24:29
You look at what the results are in the corroborative
24:32
evidence. And in this case is
24:34
the old saying, follow the money. So
24:37
the rantings of
24:39
a disturbed and troubled, drug-addicted
24:42
young man that's making stuff
24:45
up and desperately
24:47
trying to seize influence where
24:49
really none existed. If that
24:53
was the case, then where did the millions of dollars
24:55
come from?
24:56
I mean, we know for a fact that a few days
24:58
later, $5 million plus moved. It's
25:03
not like the Chinese guy goes, oh, Hunter Biden
25:05
is obviously on a crack spree. I'll ignore this
25:07
message because he's obviously ranting and raving.
25:10
He's not serious. And his dad isn't sitting
25:12
there. They obviously took it seriously because
25:14
they paid up.
25:16
That's right. And this is what ultimately
25:19
this is what is going to force
25:22
both the mainstream media and that
25:24
faction of our country, who
25:26
seems to just refuse
25:29
the gradually revealed clear
25:31
truth about the Biden crime
25:33
family and the fact that
25:36
the president of the United States, Joe Biden,
25:39
is compromised. And therefore, our entire nation
25:41
is compromised. What's going to gradually
25:44
force people into acceptance
25:47
of that truth is
25:49
the documentation of money transactions.
25:52
The Biden family had at about 150
25:55
known suspicious activity reports.
25:57
reports
26:01
required by law to be generated
26:03
by a bank
26:05
that is federally insured.
26:07
These are reports to the Treasury Department
26:09
if the bank independently observes
26:12
a suspicious transaction
26:14
of money that appears to be indicate
26:17
money laundering or something like that. So
26:20
most Americans will go their whole life including
26:23
small businesses moving large sums
26:25
of money sometimes would oversee
26:28
vendors and contractors and never
26:30
receive a suspicious activity report.
26:33
And so many of us didn't know what a
26:36
suspicious activity report was.
26:38
We didn't know what an SAR was until
26:40
it was revealed to us that the Biden
26:43
family in a short period of time, just
26:46
a few years,
26:46
had received
26:49
that we know of 150 SARs.
26:53
Each of them are
26:56
a significant piece of evidence
26:58
to be observed and compiled
27:02
to put the whole puzzle together. And
27:04
the deeper we look at it,
27:07
Ramesh, the more disturbing it is.
27:09
It seems very clear that Joe
27:12
Biden is a compromised president
27:14
and his family has been involved
27:18
in laundering monies that
27:20
have been delivered to them for years,
27:22
millions and millions and millions of
27:24
dollars through a dozen
27:26
or more
27:28
shell companies that were created
27:30
to hide and launder that money. And
27:32
why was that money paid from countries
27:35
like Romania and Ukraine
27:37
and China?
27:39
The only thing we can see that they were selling
27:42
was access to Joe Biden.
27:45
What, given
27:47
the reluctance of the mainstream media
27:49
to cover the story, is it
27:52
not a fact that the only
27:54
thing that forces them to cover
27:56
it would be an impeachment proceeding
27:58
because there's no to ignore that
28:01
if you're a CBS or ABC or the New
28:03
York Times. Republicans tend
28:05
to be sticklers for let's make sure we've
28:07
kind of dotted every I crossed every
28:09
T before we take that kind of a step.
28:12
What would you say is missing?
28:15
What else has to come out? What more
28:17
needs to be found to convince
28:20
the mainstream of the GOP that
28:22
look, we've crossed the Rubicon here.
28:24
This is the way to get this information out
28:27
to the American people. We
28:29
need to begin
28:29
this proceeding, not just against Merrick
28:32
Garland, but against Joe Biden. Well,
28:37
let me say I'm one of those conservative
28:40
voices that
28:43
advises caution regarding
28:47
attempting across the threshold that was
28:49
established by our founders to be the
28:52
most
28:53
restrictive process that
28:57
we have access to. The impeachment of
28:59
a sitting president of the United States
29:02
was intended by our founders to be almost
29:04
impossible. And the
29:07
threshold that must be crossed is quite
29:09
high or should be quite high. And
29:12
Republicans should be the party of constitutionalist
29:16
principles. And therefore,
29:19
I believe we should look to
29:21
the Oversight Committee
29:23
as we're currently performing
29:27
to deliver a clear, calm,
29:30
judicious
29:31
assessment
29:33
of condemning evidence. And
29:36
this should not be rushed. It
29:38
should not be driven by politics.
29:40
And let me say that I agree
29:44
that Joe Biden
29:46
has committed impeachable acts.
29:49
However, as a committed,
29:52
principled, constitutionalist
29:54
man, I recognize
29:56
that the impeachment of a sitting
29:59
president of the United United States is
30:02
it should be a
30:03
final
30:05
exercise in that reveal.
30:08
I do not think we should use the
30:10
impeachment process through the Judiciary
30:13
Committee to reveal the
30:17
impeachable actions of our president
30:20
when the Oversight Committee is effectively
30:23
doing so. And that should be
30:25
a timeline that unfolds according
30:27
to the investigative process, not
30:30
by dates on a calendar that
30:33
reflect our election cycle. So
30:35
I think we're in the process of both
30:38
revealing the criminal behaviors
30:40
of the of the Biden crime family and
30:42
Joe Biden.
30:45
And I believe we're also in the
30:47
process of approaching November
30:49
of 2024, where we'll
30:51
be rid of Joe Biden anyway. So
30:54
I think if we get to the point of impeachment,
30:56
then our investigation through
30:59
oversight will determine that on its
31:01
own timeline. I don't think I
31:04
don't think we should rush that timeline. I hope
31:06
that respectfully answers your question. It
31:08
certainly does. Thank you, Congressman Higgins. I
31:10
really appreciate it. Good to have you on the podcast.
31:13
Thank you, Dinesh. God bless you, sir.
31:17
The debt
31:18
ceiling crisis has come to a head. The administration
31:20
is doing its best to force more government
31:23
spending. How irresponsible.
31:25
They reached a settlement to get this deal done
31:27
for now, but the national debt continues
31:29
to skyrocket. Now, how are you protecting
31:32
your savings? Times like these are when concerned
31:35
savers like me turn to gold. And
31:37
I, like thousands of similar minded people, buy
31:39
my gold from Birch Gold. Here's the easiest
31:41
way to do it. Birch Gold will help you convert
31:44
an existing IRA of 401k
31:46
into an IRA in gold. You don't pay a penny
31:49
out of pocket. As the BRICS group,
31:51
this is Brazil, Russia, India, China, South
31:53
Africa, band together against the
31:55
dollar, more and more central banks are
31:57
diversifying. You know what they're buying? Gold, fatherhood,
31:59

32:21
I want to talk about COVID lies, not
32:24
lies that are
32:26
spread by misinformed
32:29
activists on the right
32:32
for which there has been now two
32:34
and a half years of censorship on digital
32:37
platforms. I want to talk about COVID
32:39
lies being promoted by the top levels
32:41
of the government. COVID lies promoted
32:43
by people like Rochelle
32:46
Walensky, the CDC director, by
32:49
Fauci. These
32:50
are lies by people who are
32:52
in a position to know better and did
32:54
know better. Now this is very important
32:56
because there's a difference between a lie
33:00
and false information that you unwittingly
33:03
put out. So I saw
33:05
a meme on social media. It referred to an article
33:08
that supposedly wasn't the Atlantic. It looked
33:10
like the font of the Atlantic. I shared the article.
33:12
I then realized, in fact
33:14
someone pointed out in the notes, this article never
33:16
appeared in the Atlantic. Somebody actually made a meme
33:19
of this to make it look like
33:20
the Atlantic. So essentially I was deceived.
33:22
I immediately deleted the post. Why? Because I
33:24
wasn't lying. It looked to me like it
33:27
was an article from the Atlantic. I was commenting
33:29
on it. Once I realized that the article was
33:31
fake, I obviously pulled my post
33:34
down. So that's the distinction between
33:36
a lie and an error that
33:38
is honestly entered into. Now
33:42
when Rochelle Walensky went before the American
33:44
people, in fact she went in
33:48
media reports and
33:51
you can see these videos on social media.
33:53
She said that vaccinated people quote, don't
33:56
carry the virus. They quote,
33:59
don't get sick.
33:59
And she was making two critical points.
34:02
One, that if you take the vaccine, you won't get COVID.
34:05
And if you take the vaccine, you won't
34:07
give anybody else COVID. And
34:10
this was the clear rationale,
34:12
the foundation for harassing
34:14
people, threatening people, firing
34:16
people, removing people from the government,
34:19
removing nurses from hospitals. It said,
34:21
you are so obstinate that you won't take
34:23
a vaccine that is not only good for you,
34:26
but it's also good for you giving. It will
34:29
help you not
34:29
transmit the virus
34:32
to other people. Now,
34:35
more recently, when
34:38
Walensky went before Congress and she was asked about this, she
34:41
defended herself by saying that those
34:43
statements were, quote, true
34:45
at the time. So she said, in effect,
34:47
we didn't know better. We thought it was
34:49
that way. And so that's what we said. That was the
34:51
information available to us at the time. And
34:54
this is
34:54
actually a valid defense. It's
34:55
a valid defense because you cannot be expected
34:58
to know information that only
35:00
comes out later, information that is not
35:03
at the time available to you. So
35:05
this is her defense, and it sounded like a good defense,
35:08
but it turns out that she was misrepresenting
35:10
herself because emails obtained
35:13
through the Freedom of Information Act show
35:15
there's a kind of an email
35:18
exchange going on between Rochelle
35:20
Walensky and former NIH
35:22
Director Francis Collins. And
35:24
what is the subject of these
35:25
emails? Quote,
35:27
breakthrough cases of COVID
35:30
among people who have taken the vaccine.
35:33
So think about this. We're talking now about
35:35
January of 2021, so
35:38
about eight months into COVID. And
35:41
Rochelle Walensky is well aware
35:43
that there are people who've taken the vaccine and
35:45
they're getting COVID. So her statement
35:47
that, quote, vaccinated people
35:49
don't carry the virus, false. Her
35:53
statement that they don't get sick, false. Her
35:55
implication that you can't transmit the virus,
35:57
false.
35:57
And the important part of this is that the virus is not going to be able to transmit
35:59
the virus. point is she knew it was false because
36:02
we now know she was discussing this problem
36:04
with Francis Collins. In fact, in the email
36:07
she even says
36:09
that she is looping Anthony Fauci
36:11
into these conversations so that he too
36:13
is well aware that there are these breakthrough
36:16
cases of COVID. So
36:19
this is really the point. It would not
36:21
be a scandal if you don't know better, if you took
36:23
the best information and said something
36:25
based on that and then later had to revise
36:27
it based upon new information,
36:30
new data and so on. But it's
36:32
quite clear that these people knew better.
36:36
They recognized that they were lying to
36:38
Congress, lying to the American
36:40
people. Even later, like I say, when she was called
36:42
up to defend her statement she defends it by
36:45
another misrepresentation. Well, at the time
36:47
this is what we knew, this is what I thought
36:49
was true at the time. No, even at the time
36:52
you knew that there were these so-called breakthrough
36:55
infections. So all of this has contributed to a
36:57
legitimate, I would say, a valid
37:00
distrust of the health authorities. People
37:03
like Bolenzky, people like Fauci, these
37:05
are the people in the lab
37:06
goats who tell you in a sense, this
37:08
is what the science says, this is what the
37:10
evidence shows and they themselves know
37:12
because they're talking about it behind closed doors,
37:15
they themselves know that what they're saying to you is
37:17
flat-out untrue.

38:33
its enemies. Now
38:35
we can see in all kinds of ways that the Biden
38:37
regime is helping our enemies. The
38:40
Biden regime is trying to restore the Iran
38:42
deal, which would help Iran, our
38:45
adversary in the Middle East, our leading adversary.
38:48
Biden has done all kinds of things to help
38:50
China. Now there's some argument
38:52
that he's doing this because China's put a lot of money
38:55
into the back pockets of the Biden family.
38:57
And he's
38:58
a bought off asset of China.
39:00
I wouldn't myself go that far.
39:02
But I would say that he is compromised
39:05
by his dealings with China. So
39:07
this is the helping your enemies
39:09
category. But what about hurting
39:11
your friends? There's a report
39:14
out by Free Beacon. This is
39:16
FreeBeacon.com. Biden administration
39:19
defends controversial move to slash
39:21
Israeli research funding. What
39:24
is this referring to? Turns out that
39:26
the United States has a whole bunch of partnerships
39:29
with Israel. This is research
39:31
projects on all
39:32
kinds of on technology, on medicine
39:34
and so on. And out
39:37
of kind of nowhere, the
39:39
State Department has put out a, quote,
39:41
policy guidance to relevant agencies.
39:44
And they basically say that, quote, bilateral
39:47
scientific and technological cooperation
39:50
with Israel
39:51
is not allowed in
39:54
areas that are disputed. Now, what
39:56
are the disputed areas? Well, basically, it's
39:58
so-called Judea and Samaria. area.
40:00
These are the biblical names. Of
40:03
course, the modern names are East Jerusalem,
40:05
the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. Now
40:07
even though these are sometimes called disputed territories,
40:10
they're not disputed. They were one fair
40:12
and square in battles between
40:15
Israel and the Arabs. Battles, by the
40:17
way, initiated by the Arabs. They tried
40:19
to invade and destroy Israel. Israel turned
40:21
around and pummeled them. These areas came
40:23
under Israeli control. They're now under Israeli
40:26
rule. There are settlements being built in these
40:28
territories. But of course, the United States,
40:30
this is particularly true under Democrats, takes
40:33
the view that those settlements are still disputed.
40:35
They are somehow quote under negotiation.
40:37
There's no real negotiations going
40:40
on. It's not as if Israel is gonna basically go, yeah,
40:42
you can have the West Bank back here. Take back East
40:45
Jerusalem. Here's the Golan Heights, Egypt.
40:48
We took it from you. You can have it back. No,
40:50
these places are not going back. This
40:53
concept of negotiations is a little bit of
40:55
a fiction. True, there is a Palestinian
40:58
problem that Israel has to deal with. But
41:02
in order to ally itself with the Palestinians
41:04
and against Israel, this is the point. By
41:07
and large, any Jewish companies that are
41:09
located in the West Bank or in
41:11
the Golan Heights are now
41:13
off limits for US technological
41:16
and scientific cooperation. Now
41:18
the Israelis are sort of outraged by this
41:21
and so are a number of Republicans.
41:25
Nikki Haley, for example, says that, hey, if this was scientific
41:27
projects in China, Biden would be for it.
41:30
Here's Ted Cruz. The State Department is
41:33
telling the entire US government not to cooperate
41:35
with Jews in Judea and Samaria.
41:37
And Ted Cruz goes on to point
41:40
out that the Biden people actually issued this
41:42
guidance, this policy guidance in secret.
41:44
It was just that someone in the media found
41:46
out about it. Here is Free Beacon reporting
41:49
on it. There's
41:50
little secret
41:52
that the Biden people, because
41:54
they're on the left, do not like the Israeli
41:57
government, particularly the Netanyahu government.
41:59
They are constantly trying to undermine
42:02
the Netanyahu regime. In
42:04
fact, there are
42:07
a number of indications that
42:09
the Biden administration
42:12
has been funding left-wing advocacy
42:14
groups in Israel that are trying to
42:16
overthrow Netanyahu. So talk about intervention
42:19
in another country's democratic
42:21
politics. By the way, this
42:24
was not started by Biden. We know now, flashing
42:26
back to Obama, that Obama hated Netanyahu.
42:29
Obama,
42:29
as part of his anti-colonial philosophy,
42:32
saw Israel as part of Western colonialism.
42:34
There's sort of a colonial outpost
42:36
of the West and the region. So he tried
42:38
to undermine the Netanyahu government
42:42
during his tenure, and Biden
42:44
is now clearly picking up on it. So this is a
42:46
way of slapping your own allies while
42:49
advancing and helping your enemies. And
42:52
this is the way in which the Biden regime
42:55
is weakening America around the world,
42:57
including with our, really, our sole
42:59
reliable ally in the Middle East.
43:04
It
43:04
seems like the Magic Kingdom, Disney,
43:08
has lost its magic, and I,
43:10
for one, am very happy about
43:13
it. Now, the reason that
43:15
Disney has lost its magic is very clear.
43:17
It's that a series of movies,
43:20
one after the other, has been pushing
43:23
one or other aspect of the woke
43:25
agenda, and we can see
43:27
the results at the box office. In fact,
43:30
recently, a movie analyst sat down
43:32
and did the math. He was
43:34
calculating the effect of eight
43:36
Disney movies. And by the way, at least
43:38
half of those movies have
43:40
LGBTQ characters
43:43
or themes. Thor,
43:45
Love and Thunder talked about one of the
43:47
characters, same-sex parents. Strange
43:50
World had Disney's first openly
43:52
gay main character. Lightyear
43:55
had a same-sex kiss, elemental
43:57
as the first, quote, non-binary.
43:59
character. So, Disney
44:02
here has an agenda and the agenda
44:04
as I mentioned before very almost
44:07
the opposite of what Disney used to be.
44:09
Disney used to be kind of
44:11
a company that encouraged imagination,
44:13
fantasy, good and evil, Americana
44:16
and now it's essentially pursuing
44:18
this far-left agenda. And
44:22
look, people don't like it. People don't like it here
44:24
and they don't like it even abroad because
44:26
one of Disney's massive recent bombs
44:29
was the film that was released in China.
44:32
Disney has been making a lot of money in China but
44:34
it's with the latest movie virtually no money.
44:37
The Chinese just don't even want to see it and
44:39
that's because it's the Little Mermaid featuring
44:42
a black lead. Now, some people
44:44
on the left here are all, that's because the Chinese are racist.
44:47
Well, it's not because they're racist. They recognize
44:49
that they're being sold an ideological agenda
44:52
across the board and quite frankly most
44:54
of the world has no interest in this. This is basically
44:57
domestic American politics and domestic
45:00
American race issues, gender issues,
45:03
transgender issues that are being sort
45:05
of thrust on the rest of the world
45:07
and the rest of the world is like leave us alone.
45:10
So, there's a kind of a pushback against it
45:12
but also in America. So, according
45:14
to the map that Walt Disney Company has lost 900
45:17
million dollars at the box
45:20
office over the past 12 months for
45:22
eight of its films. In other words, this is
45:25
not a, sometimes you know when you're releasing films
45:27
you have a hit, a hit, a hit, a bomb,
45:29
a hit, a bomb. So, that
45:32
is expected. No studio scores every
45:34
single time but Disney's revenue
45:36
numbers are a little misleading because sometimes when you
45:38
hear a film made a hundred million dollars at the box
45:41
office you think well the hundred million dollars went to Disney.
45:43
No. Less than 50 million went
45:45
to Disney because the rest of it goes to the theater
45:47
chain. So, if a movie costs a hundred
45:50
million dollars to make and it makes a
45:52
hundred million dollars that movie actually
45:54
loses money. In fact, it takes in less than
45:56
half of what it cost and this is what's
45:58
been happening with Disney.
45:59
Bomb after bomb after bomb
46:02
after bomb and I for one think
46:04
it's great. Now,
46:07
no company can continue like this and
46:09
Disney of course recognizes this. In
46:12
fact, recently the returning
46:15
Disney CEO Bob Aiger announced
46:17
the company is going to cut costs by 5.5 billion.
46:21
It's going to terminate 7,000 jobs. Now,
46:23
obviously feel bad for people who
46:25
are not part of Disney's ideological agenda,
46:28
people who work there. But it does seem
46:30
like a lot of the employees have been pushing
46:32
within Disney for Disney to go this
46:35
route. And so they have got to
46:37
face the consequences of making bad
46:39
movies and running a badly a company
46:41
that is not really serving its customers.
46:44
At some point the axe has to fall on
46:46
the woke department and
46:49
it's already starting to happen. So the
46:51
latest article I see, Disney's
46:53
diversity czar quits after
46:56
massive failure of race swapped
46:58
little mermaid non binary elemental
47:01
movies. And we're talking
47:03
here about this woman,
47:05
La Tundra
47:08
Newton. Disney's
47:11
achieved diversity officer since 2017. Now,
47:14
of course, Disney doesn't want to say, in fact, they
47:16
don't really admit that she's
47:18
been fired. And so they put out
47:21
the usual boilerplate
47:24
because it's just kind of funny. She goes
47:26
that that
47:29
La Tundra has decided to
47:31
leave the Walt Disney Company to pursue
47:34
other endeavors. In other
47:36
words, this is the case where being kicked out the doors
47:38
call. She's decided to leave. Quote,
47:41
La Tundra has led the company's strategic
47:44
diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,
47:46
including blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I know
47:48
you all join me in thanking La Tundra,
47:50
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So this
47:53
is what corporations do. They put out this stuff.
47:55
It's not only isn't meaningless, it's actually
47:58
the opposite of what is actually being
47:59
done. meant. Because think about this. I know you thank
48:02
me in... I know you join me in thanking
48:04
La Tundra. Why would we thank La Tundra
48:07
if its diversity nonsense has caused
48:09
Disney to lose 900 million dollars?
48:11
Thank you La Tundra! You've cost us 900 million
48:13
dollars. You're
48:14
now leaving. We wish you all the best.
48:16
I mean, yeah, this is the kind of thing and,
48:19
you know, when this is when people leave, when people
48:21
die, you're supposed to say nice things about
48:23
them. So I kind of get it. But the rest of us
48:25
who are observing and trying to make sense of all this shouldn't
48:28
really be fooled. By the way, this La
48:30
Tundra character is the same person who
48:32
pioneered the Disney memo
48:36
to the Disney staff in the wake of the death
48:38
of George Floyd where she basically says,
48:40
we've got to be committed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
48:42
And so that's part of what that accelerated
48:45
Disney's... Disney was already moving in this
48:48
direction
48:48
and but... and
48:50
they aren't alone in being accelerated by the events
48:52
of George Floyd. We saw this sweeping across
48:54
corporate America but Disney for one
48:57
is now having to pay the price.
