Gas. It involves not just the bidens but former secretary of state john kerry and a growing number of Democratic Senators, as our special investigation will reveal tonight. These credible allegations of corruption must be investigated. Of course President Trump is right to pursue them, with attorney general barr and, yes, with the leader of the country where the alleged corruption took place. How can you investigate u. S. Cash for ukraine gas without involving ukraine . News anchors asked republicans if they have come up with an ultimate unanswerable gotcha if President Trump is so hot on corruption, can you name another american who is not being investigated . The fact that biden is running for president isnt a reason not to investigate him. Its surely the reason why the allegations must be investigated. When it comes to republicans, theres never any reluctance to investigate. Just this week, two of Rudy Giulianis associates were arrested for allegedly paying a man believed to be former texas republican member of congress Pete Sessions 20,000 for his help in ousting out former ambassador to ukraine who they thought was blocking their business aims. Congressman sessions wrote a letter to secretary of state mike pompeo calling for the ambassador to be fired and the ambassador was eventually recalled. All of that looks dodgey and it is quite right the attorney general barr has given the green light to arrest these two men, regardless of any connection to Rudy Giuliani or the president. If only we had the same investigative zeal on the other side. Instead, when its a republican who wants democrats investigated, they try to impeach him. Let me remind you of the details here. In early 2014, someone called devin archer who is the long time Business Partner of joe bidens son hunter joined the board of ukraines largest gas company. On april the 16th, 2014, archer had a private meeting with Vice President biden at the white house, late into the night, according to white house records, two days after that meeting, on april the 18th, hunter biden joined the board too, and three days after that, on april the 21st, Vice President biden went to ukraine with promises of u. S. Taxpayer cash for the ukrainian gas industry. Its been reported that in the years following joe bidens april 2014 visit, his son hunter was paid 50,000 a month for his burrisma board seat, but bank records taken from an unrelated fbi raid of devin archers office, in 2016, show that biden and archers Firm ReceivedMonthly Payments from burisma with sums of over 150,000, sometimes even 220,000 according to Fox News Contributor john solomon. What was it about the spectacularly unqualified and inexperienced hunter biden that could possibly be worth that much to a Ukrainian Gas Company . Well, now we know. Burismas founder a shady character used his time as ukraines environment minister to hand out gas licenses from which burisma would end up profiting. By 2015, he found himself under investigation for abuse of power, embezzlement and other charges. He may have faced justice if it werent for bidens board seat, signalling to ukrainian prosecutors that he had the backing of the american Vice President , who was acting like some kind of imperial consul in ukraine. His word was basically law. Unbelievably, despite all the evidence of corruption, he came out of unscathed. But that wasnt all that Hunter Bidens connections had to offer. Remember archer, Hunter BidensBusiness Partner . He had previously been a top fundraiser for john kerry who was secretary of state at the time. And soon after devin and hunter joined the burisma board, the company channelled 90,000 to a lobbying firm called Ml Strategies which was headed by none other than david lighter, john kerrys former chief of staff. Thats handy because then secretary of state john kerry himself has visited ukraine with promises of u. S. Aid and assistance. Well, lighter registered as a burisma lobbyist in mid 2014. He gave close 60,000 to democrats including a select group of u. S. Senators who would later be instrumental in pushing cash towards ukraines energy sector, directly in line with burismas interests. He donated to senator ed markey four times. And to senator jean shaheen three times. A month after the last of those donations, both markey and shaheen were among four senators who wrote a letter to president obama that said we should leverage the full resources and expertise of the u. S. Government to assist ukraine in improving its Energy Efficiency increasing its Domestic Production and reforming its energy markets. Whats that line in there . Increasing its Domestic Production . Production of what . Wind power . Solar . Burning Household Waste . No. They are talking about increasing Gas Production. U. S. Cash for ukraine gas. And guess who benefits from that . Actually we dont need to guess. They told us. Burisma holdings today applauded the range of u. S. Legislative support for development of ukraines broad and untapped resources and an increase in transparency and good government. Yeah, i bet they applauded it. And the value they got from the 90 grand they paid to their new lobbyists, the democrat political crony of their new board member devin archer and hunter biden. I suppose there could be an innocent explanation. I mean, senator ed markey could for all we know be a longterm champion of the gas industry. Senator ed markey was the senate sponsor of the Green New Deal. He wants to shut down Gas Production in america, yet, he personally intervened with the Obama Administration to send your tax dollars to boost ukraines Gas Production. And not just once, not only did he write that letter to obama, but he sponsored multiple pieces of legislation that calls for more u. S. Assistance and aid specifically to help ukraines natural gas sector, including one that, quote, directly oversees private investment corporations to prioritize support for investments to increase Energy Efficiency develop domestic oil and gas reserves and develop Renewable Energy sources in ukraine. A version of this bill became law in december 2014 and gave another 50 Million Dollars for ukraine gas. And in turn, theres another donation to senator ed markey from burisma lobbyist david lighter in 2017. Oh, but as the corruption pr agencies keep telling us as President Trump continues to rail against as far as the evidence shows baseless claims of corruption. And we dont know whether mr. Trumps baseless charges about joe biden and ukraine will make bide an more sympathetic figure ed bien biden a more sympathetic figure there is no veracity to any of these allegations about the bide bidens. What . Of course there is veracity. We just showed you that veracity. And theres more. Turns out it wasnt just senators markey and shaheen in on this swampy cash for gas deal. We cross referenced the senate co sponsors of markeys ukraine gas bill with the list of democrats, burisma lobbyist routinely gave money to. Found another one, senator richard blumenthal. Burismas lobbyist give money to blumenthal three times, the next year blumenthal returned the favor by backing legislation that would directly benefit burisma and hunter biden. How is any of this different to the alleged offenses for which those two giuliani cronies were rightly arrested this week . This is the quid pro quo. This is the foreign meddling, foreign interests buying up members of congress, democrat senators who hand out policy favors and taxpayer dollars to the highest foreign bidder. This is a massive scandal. U. S. Cash for ukraine gas. Senator ed markey, senator jean shaheen, senator richard blumenthal, john kerry, david lighter, devin archer, hunter biden and joe biden who was presiding over all this as it was going on. Of course it should all be investigated. It will be up to our Justice System to look into any criminal charges, but it is open to anyone to make referrals of suspected Campaign Finance violations. We reached out to and invited senators markey, shaheen and blumenthal to come on the show. But they didnt respond. Those payments from burismas lobbyists to those senators raise suspicions of Money Laundering and illegal foreign donations, aiming to buy influence in americas democracy. The details should be sent to the federal election commission. Well post them soon. So please follow us steve hilton and at next rev fnc and help make sure this scandal is properly exposed. All right. Lets see what our guest as far as the night have to say. Former new mexico governor martinez, first time on the show. So exciting. Founder of turning point usa and the host of the charlie kirk show pod cast on apple pod cast charlie kirk. And trump 2020 Campaign Senior advisor katrina pearson. All right. Katrina, i need to get my breath back. Your reaction . Look, i think what youve uncovered is pretty significant. For a number of reasons. And it looks like joe biden actually might be the key to finally draining the swamp. But i think this is also important for a number of reasons because you hear in the media, the timeline always starts at this july phone call. Right. When in fact it goes back years, prior to President Trump even running for office. But most importantly, you mentioned john solomon, and the reason why that is so critical and key to this investigation is simply because in april and march of this year, you had ukrainian officials making the allegation against the bidens, not President Trump. So you just uncovered the intent behind the phone call, behind the one discussion that has been blown completely out of proportion. Its the intent to get behind what is going on. We keep hearing things about corruption. Can you look into this . And no one seems to mention that the president that he was speaking to was not the president a few months ago when these allegations were being made. This is the new president of the ukraine. And the president had every right it is his duty to ask these questions of a new leader. Whats been driving me crazy, apart from the details of all of this, is watching some of the republican reaction i have seen this week from two senators, when asked the question do you think it is appropriate for President Trump to ask a foreign leader to investigate political rival . It is not just my political rival. It is not just any political rival. It was a guy who was the Vice President when this was going on. Of course it should be investigated. They are floundering around because they are running for reelection. I think the most telling thing about what you said it doesnt take that much to influence policy. The telling thing of your open, one of your best i have to say, you are doing the work that Mainstream Media should be doing. You deserve to be commended for this. We are talking about couple thousand dollar donations that steered the entire policy towards ukraine for three senators. It was so funny i was writing down in huge letters Green New Deal as you were saying this. Exactly this is the guy that says we should cease all natural gas extraction in United States of america while simultaneously writing a letter saying we should expand Domestic Oil Production in ukraine. I mean, its so disingenuous. So the final thing i will say is this, you made a brilliant point, which is you have a Republican Administration with a Republican Attorney general that green lights the arrest of two individuals that are in the orbit of Rudy Giuliani. Thats what we call is justice is blind. Democrats have no such ability to allow themselves to have blind justice. Instead the close you are you are to the democrat circles, they they are they are untouchable. The whole kind of cycle of money from the lobbyists to the politicians, foreign Front Company to a washington lobbyist, then to the senators, this is what people hate about the swamp. Its the whole thing in one story. Of course it is. At the same time, trying to kill an industry that is in the United States when were finally energy independent. I dont think people understand that they are providing support and policy to a different country to do the very thing that were trying to shut down in the United States right, thats such a great point. It is. I mean new mexico is the number three in production of oil and, in the country oil and gas in the country which allows us to be energy independent. Then we turn around, new mexico passed the first Green New Deal already, our governor has done that. State by state, they are going to start doing it if they cant do it nationally. We are shutting down an industry while were giving money or receiving money and giving policy to another country. Exactly. If you are talking about a couple thousand contributions but when you add that up this is how it works. Its literally that. You have said it best, anyone who is registered with these foreign countries, they shouldnt be able to contribute to these u. S. Senators. Right. You are supposed to go through embassies for this sort of communication. You shouldnt be able to represent foreign interests and be able to steer Public Policy like this. Wheres the New York Times and Washington Post covering this, steve . Your team did more in a week to uncover this than a supposed journalist i have to say, youre absolutely right. Fantastic job from our team on this. Thats exactly right. All public the money flow, the cash for ukraine gas is the real scandal. I wish we would focus on that and not the prosecutor thing. Theres conflicting stories on that. This is a really simple story that everyone can understand. Not only can they understand it, but at the time those allegations were being made against the bidens, he wasnt even a candidate. He was not a political opponent. Yes. Thats right. Thats right. This is just he was Vice President when this was going on. The idea this should not be investigated because he is now running for president , its just laughable. I think it is the opposite. Thats why it should be investigated there you are. Anyway, were out of time for this part of the conversation. A lot more ahead on impeachment. Do not go away. Hmm. Exactly.

Lets keep talking about this i think what i think is the heart of the impeachment case. Lets be fair to the democrats for a second and say take their case at face value; right . And they say why do we need to do this impeachment . Why dont we just wait for the election next year . Right . I think the way they answer that question is to say this is such a violation, what President Trump did, asking a foreign country for dirt on a rival, that is so outrageous we have to take a stand on it. Okay. What about the dossier then . I mean, wasnt that exactly an example of this . The first time they tried to get rid of President Trump was the fact that it was Hilary Clinton and the dnc who colluded with foreign government. Were also talking about the ukraine who actually did try to interfere in the 2016 election to help Hilary Clinton. If theres principles or morals surrounding this foreign interference in our election process, where is the outrage there . Why do they consistently pretend like nothing else is happening . Thats right it is anything but fair. The Founding Fathers put the impeachment clause for an extraordinary emergency measure. It wasnt supposed to be used politically. Its only been done twice before, bill clinton, andrew johnson, nixon resigned impeachment was enacted. The founders were specific especially in their explanation in impeachment in the federalist papers. They were worried it would be used as a political tool. In the conversation of high crimes and misdemeanors, it
