The wake is strong. [laughter] rachel hes from minnesota pete how big are the waves. Will the wake is the thing behind a boat. [laughter] you go to surf of line, its a great site is. They have cams, camera as up in different locations, you can see what the waves look like, and then you look at the surf report. So we can hop on right now and see what the waves look like in fiji, maybe we could if pull up a camera of california. Its dark there. Wherever. Pete a lot of california people watch the show. I found that out on vacation. Rachel yeah, you did do. They dvr. Pete i always thought they were staying up late and catching the first hour. Will partiers . Pete yeah, thats what i thought. Maybe we get a beach cam on wilmington, delaware. Will im going to look it up during the break pete the bidens have ended their beach trip, and theyre headed back to wilmington for the remainderrer of their vacation and possibly a lot to discuss inside the family these days, because we learned a lot this week rachel they dont discuss pete oh, or youre right, youre right. Rachel they dont discuss anything with business. Pete im sorry. The new Talking Point from the other side after this week is the illusion of access. So youve got to the leftwing media has to find a way to explain away the evidence thats coming clear before them. Of course joe biden knew about his sons business dealings, and thats devon archer or right will there. A big week for him both Behind Closed Doors with the House Oversight committee with an interview with tucker or carlson, with others where he talked openly about refuting the requested that was just the illusion of access. Well get to that in a moment. But heres the media talking about how theyre spinning what joe might have known and peddling will its particularly congressman dan goldman pete okay. Will who was in that interview with devon archer. He came out, and he said its a pretty ingenious spin. He says what were really looking at here is the illusion of access. Rachel because there were 20 calls, over 20 calls will he was acknowledging hunter was doing some shady stuff, but hes saying it wasnt really access to joe biden pete keeping the and hunter apart. Will weve yeah. He was selling the illusion of that kind of ran, to your point, pete, the Mainstream Media narrative for a day or two. Watch. Hunter biden was eling the illusion of said access. The witness testimony was very clear that hunter may have, quote, promoted the illusion of influence on his father. A source familiar with the matter tells me that, you know, archer told the committee that hunter biden was selling the illusion, illusion in quotes, of access to his father. Dan can goldman said that archer testified that it was the illusion of access. Will look at them run with that, okay . The illusion of access pete in the banner. Will by the way, goldman is the levi strauss heir. His role is fascinating. In fact, take a look at this. So illusion of access, remember that. Now, heres Transcript Testimony There From Devon Archer in front of the House Oversight committee which goldman was in the meeting, right . He was in that. And heres how the questioning went. Goldman says to archer remember, goldman says its not about selling access to his father, its about selling the illusion of access to his father, is that fair . So archer responds, is that fair . I mean, yeah, i think it is. I think thats almost fair. And then goldman goes on, i believe we have more, yeah. He says, i think archer says think that thats why he was able to okay, hold on. Were running two things together. I want to come back to this. Can we just a pause that for one second . So illusion pollution of illusion of access is goldmans lineful hes feeding it to archer, and archer doesnt buy it 100 . Kind of, its almost fair. Hen he goes on to say because there was some actual connections. Rachel we have video proof of it where he said i told the, im going to pyre i told them they better fire the prosecutor else theyre not going to get their billion dollars. Pete yeah. And to continue what you said, so goldman follows up and says, almost fair . Why almost fair in and archer says this, a line fed to him, because there are touchpoints and contacts that i cant deny that happened. But nothing of material, which thats another line theyre using all week long, nothing material was discussed. They were just talking about the weather just like bill clinton and Loretta Lynch on tarmac, they were just talking about kids gifts. Butting i cant go on record saying there was communications. Will so what hes saying there is the reports are in this testimony he says at least 20 something calls where they put joe biden on speakerphone with hunter, but then theyd step away, so archer doesnt know what they say directly. What joe has said, what hunter said, what the Business Partners say. So hes, like, i cant really say its the illusion of access, thats not completely fair. The point there is its completely manufactured. Illusion of access, thats goldmans line, not or archers. And the media just, here we go, we got the spin, lets run. Rachel i hope we can maybe pull this clip up later in the show where it was on msnbc with eugene robinson. So hes talking with another reporter about the 20 calls, and their trying theyre trying to explain away why would joe biden agree to be on speakerphone, you know, with hunter. And they actually, believe it or not, say, well, you know, this is a time when beau was dying will right. Rachel and it was a really tough time and so, you know, should he have hung up on the son, hunter, when he put him on the line . Yeah, but, you know, thats a really tough time. So what it actually tells me not that joe biden was, you know, under stress the, what it tells me is even though beau was dying, hunter and joe biden are still determined to make munch in thats how how big their greed is, thats what theyre focused on. Lets get on the call, lets make sure hunter make makes money instead of paying attention to beau whos dying of cancer. By the way, they use beau, anytime theyre in trouble, they use beau to cover up. Will so i asked for this next part, i think this is fascinating. Pete this is the one that we jumped to previously. Will by accident. But, so goldmans role in this, i think, is fascinating. He creates this illusion of access thing, and then he walks down this path where the truth comes out unknowingly. Hes like the best crossexaminer, although he doesnt know hes. S crossexamining devon archer. So devon archer oohs explaining the value of hunter biden sitting on the burisma board. Well, its for the grand. What does that mean, the brand . If whos the brand . If watch this testimony unfold. So archer says the brand, i think thats why burisma was able to survive for as long as it did. Goldman says, because of Additional Capital or what in no, just because of brand. Goldman says, well, i dont understand. How does that have an impact . Archer says, well, capabilities to navigate d. C. That they were able to, you know, basically be in the news cycle. I think that preserved them from, you know, a longevity standpoint. Thats, like, my honest, thats like really what i thats how i think about this holistically k. And goldman says, but how would that work . Archer says, because people would be intimidate to mess with them, again, because of the brand. Goldman asks, in what way . And archer says, legally. [laughter] this is about getting a prosecutor fired this ukraine. Pete hes effectively using d. C. Code to say this is political top cover that the brand of biden would give to a corrupt company. Will yes. Pete so you put hunter on the board. Everyone knows who his dad can is, they know they have the illusion or reality of access, and as a result, you dont mess with burisma because youve got the political power of d. C. There. They dont have to talk in specificity, thats the point. Its all vague generalities of what we can do, dont touch and then certain touchpoints, then they come on down and take a direct action like firing the prosecutor in ukraine where it benefits the people that are a paying lots of money. Rachel right. And and and, you know, i had this interview with Monica Crowley in the last hour, and the implication of this kind of corruption, were dealing with it right now because we have a president who is compromised by dirty deals like this in ukraine, by the same kind of dirty deals that they were making in china and in russia, and we see soft on china policy. And again, just for me as an american looking at this, just my frustration at knowing that theyre around the world Making Energy Deals with the chinese, with the ukrainians as theyre shutting down american jobs pete In The Name OfClimate Change rachel the Hi Pockily Oi of it and hypocrisy of it and their willingness to sell out our country. This very week we have President Trump being indicted and these corrupt losers are free and fine. Pete and you remember what Tony Bobulinski said in october of 2020. He said to james biden, how are you going to get away with all of in this and he said, plausible deniability. Ultimately, just enough of this and then a willing media to make up things like rachel and a willing fbi and doj because remember, one of the most interesting things in the followup interview that Tucker Carlson did with tony bob lin can sky, he said the fbi bobulinski, the fbi never call to follow up with what he said. The fbi was not interested in that and told also the irs whistleblowers never to go down any line of questioning that involved joe biden. Pete its true. Well, were going to get more on this later just in about 20 minutes from representative james comer who has promised that even more is coming. Well ask him what is that and what more can the committee do to get to the bottom of this. 7 30, dont miss it. Will iowa farmers are accusing china of stealing american hand are. Take a look at this, the chinese u. S. Land grab. In 2021 the chinese owned 384,000 acres of land, thats u pete yeah youre right, sorry. Pete will in 2011 it was 69,000. Pete how many acres do we own in china . Is it more or less than 5 . Rachel yeah. Pete i mean, this is a corrupt regime taking advantage of a free society, right in and how long are we going to be willfully blind to the fact that they have a strategic in not just our land, but our resources. And theyre doing it methodically. Rachel im old enough to remember the kohl war, the 80s. I just cant imagine a similar situation where we would have allowed the soviet union to come in here and buy swaths of land. There was an interview with a sixth generation iowa farmer. She says its not just the land, shes concerned about patented geneticallyengineered seeds. Listen. The bottom line gets thinner and thinner and tighter and tighter. When china steals that ip from a seed company, that money has to be made up somewhere, and so unfortunately, the u. S. Farmer is the one thats going to deal with it. Rachel not a big fan of geneticallymodified seeds personally [laughter] but they are produced by american companies, they are patented, and, you know, china pete so theyre not just stealing our intellectual property, theyre stealing our seeds. Rachel yes, they are. Now, i would like us to go back before they had genetically modify because i think that has a lot of health modifications. Pete i love corn on the cob thats this big. [laughter] rachel theres a lot of things that happens to those seeds, and i think thats actually a huge topic for another day. But again, this is about the chinese stealing our intellectual Property Rights which heir doing, by the way, across every sector.
