[laughter] >> jesse: have a good night. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: it's been four days since the massacre in highland park, illinois where seven people were killed and more than two dozen injured. the killer was 21-year-old robert crimo iii. but the people who enabled him were his parents. and they need to be brought to justice. den denise and bob crimo jr. bear a lot of responsibility for what happened. if prosecutors won't hold them

accountable, "primetime" will. illinois state police confirm that the shooter's father is under criminal investigation. he helped his son buy the guns that were used in the shooting. bob crimo is a failure as a father. being a bad parent isn't a crime. but in this case, it might be. bob crimo's son was deeply disturbed and everyone knew it. this kid has been battling rage and depression for years. three years ago tried to kill himself. >> in april of 2019, an individual contacted highland park police department a week after learning of mr. crimo attempting suicide. spoke with crimo. spoke with crimo's parents and the matter was being handled by mental health professionals at that time. there was no law enforcement action to be taken. >> jesse: if my son was threatening to kill himself,

would i help him buy a gun a few months later? no. i would do everything i could to get him professional help. and make sure he didn't hurt himself again or others. but that didn't happen. just five months later, crimo turned it up a notch. threatening to kill his entire family. and cops were called to the house again. >> the second occurred in september of 2019. a family member reported that crimo said that he was going to kill everyone and crimo had a collection of knives. the police responded to his residence. the police removed 16 knives, a dagger and sword from crimo's home. at that time there was no probable cause to arrest. there were no complaints that were signed by any of the victims. >> jesse: here is where it gets crazy. those knives that the police just mentioned, the daggers and the swords that were confiscated from the kid's bedroom? his dad covered for him and said they were his and then went to the police station a few hours

later and retrieved them. this is criminal. and crimo was never arrested because his parents didn't feel like filing a complaint. if they had, he wouldn't have passed a background check. but it gets worse. not only did bob jr. protect his mentally deranged son from being charged, he helped him go out and buy even more weapons. just two months later, crimo's dad, bob jr., sponsored him to buy his first gun. if your son threatens to kill himself and the entire family, would you go sponsor him to buy a gun? that's criminal: but the dad says this was no big deal. >> that's all it was. to allow my son to go through the process. they do background checks. whatever it entails. i'm not exactly sure. you are either approved or denied. and he was approved and prior -- [inaudible] >> >> jesse: this father was an

accessory to mass murder. whether he wants to admit it or not his mom doesn't seem to have it together either. we don't know much about denise. i'm a little suspicious of her. tuesday she was caught on video screaming at the swat team that showed up at her house. why are you screaming at the swat team after your son just slaughtered seven people at a july 4th parade? a normal mother would be on her knees in tears not lashing out at cops. that seems odd to me. another weird thing. the u.p.s. store where her mailbox is has been closed until further notice. what's going on with her mailbox? that seems strange. and we'll keep an eye on it. this family didn't live in a big house. their son didn't have his own wing, if you know what i mean. he is living right under their nose. and not only is he suicidal and homicidal and has a knife collection like steven segal, he is parading around with sex

dolls. he has a sex doll with a noose around its neck in a closet. and he is riding around in a car with a sex dollment and posting it on his social media. if my son shows up at family dinner and sits down with his sex doll, we're going to have a little talk and we're going to figure out what the heck is going on. that apparently never happened in this household. and in addition, the kid was a drug addict. the police report says he admitted to being on drugs and his friends said he had lost his mind on drugs. another family member said he spent the whole day in his room alone on the computer. that's not acceptable. but the biggest red flag of all, the kid's face is covered in tattoos. did the parents not see that as a problem? what does it say about you psychologically when you are disfiguring your face? but the dad says monday's

massacre was a complete surprise. >> this has taken us by complete surprise. three days before the fourth my wife had asked him hey do you have any plans for the fourth and he said no. >> jesse: united states parenting. -- great parenting.have any pl? no. great talk. why do you have a tattoo on your face? why don't you have a job? this is the worst father i have ever seen. but he claims he raised him right. saying his son had good morals and going on to say it's not his faulted his son got a gun. it's the system that needs to be overhauled. the system. you are the system. and how about checking this guy's social media, you know? do you know how to go on the internet? his page was a freak show. your son was a white rapper. is he driving around town with sex dolls. log on and check it out. and your son built a fort in

your front yard and he is 23 years old. you didn't notice that when you came home from work? maybe he wanted more privacy for him and his sex doll. this isn't normal. your son is a sicko. get him under control before he kills someone. does this remind you at all of the uvalde school shooter? who was carrying around a bag of dead cats, wearing all black eye liner? again, his grandparents who were living with him had no idea. >> would he spend a lot of time in his room alone? >> yes. um-huh. >> and it didn't seem like he went to school very often? >> no, well, this past year he didn't go to school. he didn't graduate but he didn't go to school. >> why? >> i don't know. you tell him and they think they -- kids nowadays they know everything. >> did you notice that he was growing disturbed and becoming

upset? >> was very quiet. >> did you know that he bought those weapons? >> no. >> jesse: the buffalo shooter showed up to school in a hazmat suit. hello. the parkland shooter had been suspended from school like dozens of times. he had no friends. he got into fights every day. the newtown shooter played video games all day. never left the house. never seen pale skin like that. is anybody sensing a pattern here? if my son's face is covered in tattoos, he threatens to kill himself, kill me and builds a fort in the front yard where he can do drugs, play with his sex doll and display his little knife collection, am i helping him buy a rifle? no. you are driving him to the nearest hospital and having the nurses put him in a straight jacket. this father and mother need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. and i don't want to hear any mumbo jumbo from law enforcement. you slap charges on these animals and then you let the

judge figure it out. this is going to be a wake-up call to all the other parents throughout the country. that they are going to be on the hook if their psycho son starts shooting everybody up. look in their room. or just open your eyes. this isn't about the right to bear arms. this is about if you bear a child, you're responsible for their actions as long as they are living under your roof. you just bought a face tattooed drug addicted homicidal maniac loner a gun. katie is a former federal prosecutor. katie, i mean, come on. are we going to charge these parents tomorrow? what's taking so long? >> i totally agree with that. this is not a difficult case to prosecute. this is very unique set of circumstances where you have an outrageous number of very obvious indications of violence for years before this dad chose to enable this person to get a firearm.

it's ridiculous. there needs to be a message sent to other parents, to other people that are close to those that they know are a problem, that they know are completely unhinged. this isn't a case about gun control. this is about apologists for people who have very serious mental health issues and indicated that they are violent. i think it's very overdue that the message is sent by prosecutors. >> jesse: look at the neck tattoos and face tattoos. if it's not the face tattoos, it's the sex doll, it's the fort in the front yard, no friends, locking himself in a room on a computer all day. what more do you need to know? what do you need a sword for? what do you need a dagger collection for? look at his hair. he is wearing all black. i mean, he is checking off every single solitary box there is for a mass shooter. and the dad is out to lunch and the mom is yelling at the swat team. if you are a prosecutor, what kind of charges are you looking at here? >> well, in this sort of case, i

think they could charge him with reckless homicide. i think there has been a lot of conversation about the fact that he is not a minor. to me, that doesn't matter here. the dad enabled him to get this weapon by sponsoring his application that was required. he knew or he very well should have known about this kid's tendencies. it's ridiculous. it's ludicrous and insulting to suggest otherwise. there is absolutely no justification for enabling somebody that literally by his own words said he wanted to kill other people with a firearm for that matter and then to put one in his hands? i think a jury would be very ripe to hear this issue. >> jesse: if you are a domestic terrorist, as i believe this kid is. and your father is giving you aid and comfort, if he is putting a roof over your head, if he is feeding you, if he is putting gas in your car to drive around with your weapons and sex dolls, is that not aiding and abetting? is that not accessory? is that not negligence or something like that? i mean, if this guy was al-qaeda

and you are sponsoring him to buy a gun, i mean, come on, they would have these parents behind bars yesterday. >> of course they would. and i think in most cases you are going to have a really difficult argument withholding parents accountable especially over the age of 18. here these are very specific circumstances where there was known interest in violence where there was known mental health issues and where his dad actually affirmatively allowed him to possess a firearm by his sponsor. this is a very unique case. luckily these are very rare situations. we have to be clear about when we do see something that's criminal that we treat it as such and that charges are filed. >> jesse: i agree. this whole household was a terrorist cell and they just arc at this vacated their son. now seven people are dead. two dozen injured and they have to be held accountable and i want to see action and i want to see action fast. katie, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: we have a bombshell report involving hunter biden. a chinese oil company and millions of barrels of crude

owned oil company union peck also known as sinapec in 2015 hunter's firm bought a nearly $2 billion stake in sinopec. in november hunter's attorney claims he divested his stakes in chinese holdings but as of march, chinese records still listed him as a 10% owner in the firm bhr partners which a georgetown professor valued to be worth a cool $20 million. the sale happened in april. as of this moment, we can't say for sure that hunter has an ownership stake in this company nor can we say that he directly profited from the sale. but what's indisputable is this. hunter biden is not a chinese economist. he is not a chinese energy expert. the only reason why the chinese would cut him in to their company is so that he can peddle influence back in washington with his dad.

and get them really great deals. and do you know what? it looks like he did his job. we'll bring you more on this tomorrow. in the meantime, as we reported last night, american banks flagged over 150 financial transactions of the president's son and brother. hunter and james biden. these transactions raise all sorts of concerns with the banks that the biden family was using. republican congressman james comer on the oversight committee told us how severe that number actually is. >> it is very uncommon for anyone in america to get more than one suspicious activity report. 99.9% of americans never get a suspicious activity report. but to get 150, i'm going to go on a limb, jesse, and say that's more than anyone in the history of the united states. and i would be willing to make a wager of that and this is with multiple banks to have 150 suspicious activity reports proves what we have been saying all along hunter biden is a

national security risk. >> jesse: banking flags were originally created after 9/11 to help the government catch foreign money laundering, criminal financial schemes, tax evasion and to help stop global terrorism. the fact that biden's family just in the period of a few years has over 150 suspicious transactions is shocking. and should concern you. we can only guess what some of these fishy transactions involve. maybe one of them was the three and a half million dollars that a russian billionaire wired the biden family. or maybe it was the $6 million that the communist chinese wired the biden family. maybe hunter sending tens of thousand thousand of dollars russian accounts involving sex trafficking raise flags. we know hunter's bank account was frozen because he spent over 30 g's on russian he is courts in a five month period. that's a lot of escorts.

but, hey, at least hunter treats the escorts well. >> anything on you. anything? i was literally saying i'm sorry that it took so long to give you $10,000. you cannot talk to me that way and say things like that. because i am the most anyone you have ever met. >> jesse: money was pouring in from all over the world from most seedy back waters out there. we know joe and hunter biden's bank accounts were co-mingled. in order to find out which foreign interests were bribing the biden family and whether joe biden took kick packs or is compromised house republicans asked janet yellen at the treasury department to send them the list of the 150 suspicious transactions that got flagged. but janet yellen is refusing to hand over this information to

congress. why would she just hand it over if the biden family had done nothing wrong, if they had nothing to hide, hand it over. she is legally obligated to provide this information to congress. it must be really damaging if the treasury secretary is willing to risk her career and her rep involving herself in an administration wide cover-up. but that's exactly what's happening. we have reached out to the treasury. and this was their reply. treasury provides sars to congress in a manner that enables robust oversight. it is not a political process. since the beginning of this administration treasury has made sars available in response to authorized committee requests and continues to engage on the process individual member seeking information. oh, so this wasn't an authorized request. was adam schiff have to ask? this is a b.s. statement.

in the entire history of this country congress has been able to ask the treasury for anything. they have oversight. now the treasury for the first time ever is saying the request has to come from both parties? when before it only needed to come from one? this is getting very suspicious. what comes next? jim trust is a former doj prosecutor and former white crime attorney. jim, however big of a deal is it that were 150 suspicious financial transactions flagged by u.s. banks from the biden family? just in a few years? >> yeah. jess, i don't know what the record is, but i can tell you when i was a federal prosecutor if somebody told me that i have 150 sars to look at, suspicious activity reports i feel like i just won the power ball. you would have so much information to use from those sars to really flesh it out. and what they are are the bones,

the skelton of any sort of white collar case. you will tell have to follow up with subpoenas and interviews and further transactional activity to get the full body. that's a heck of a skeleton with 150 sars. >> jesse: like rosetta stone. follow every. a million from kazakhstan, another mill from romania, another mill from moscow. another mill from beijing and then you subpoena and then you ask what did you do for that money? and why didn't you pay taxes on that money? this is a slam dunk. no wonder yellen is not giving up the goods. this would bury the biden family. >> yeah, you know, i got to tell you i don't really care that everywhere about releasing it to congress. i think that's actually almost at odds with what i would want. delaware u.s. attorney in receiving that information and giving it a serious scrub. there's a throat check out there. i know that takes some time.

but they have had the laptop for a long time. they have had notice about a lot of this activity for a long time. they need to be doing, you know, what's right under their oath to the constitution, clean-up is actually digging to the very bottom line of what the biden family was up to with all of these transactions. >> jesse: jim, here is why congress needs it we assume the federal prosecutor in delaware has it. and is looking into it, if is he legit or isn't some big cover-up from the jump. that could be the case. if he comes out with this like tic-tacs indictment, no jail sentence. oh, you paid the back taxes, someone slipped you two mill under the table we are good. we are clean. no, we need to see, congress, those reports, to see if the federal prosecutor was doing his job or was covering up i will give you the last word? >> well, i don't really disagree with your motion but i also know from the prosecutor's side you always view congressional inquiries as interference. they are doubling up on

witnesses you want to talk to. they are publicizing things you don't want publicized. for a little bit longer i will try to have faith that the doj is not going to be political. it feels a little naive saying that let's see what happens. let's see if they are serious about this or if like you said are we going to get a friday night tax misdemeanor plea where hunter biden gets to do a little community service and they announce there is nothing else to look at. i hope that's not the case. historic integrity test for doj and fbi the clock is ticking. >> jesse: they have had this for two years. enough. i think we are ready to charge this guy. jim, thank you so much. >> all right. see you, jess. >> jesse: turn to glenn greenwald pulitzer prize winner journalist. i'm sensing blackmailing scenario. i could be totally whacked out of my gored, glenn. if they get she lacked in the

midterm and biden refuses to announce he is not running again, are we going to see a ton of reporting on these suspicious activity reports, a ton of reporting on the laptop in order to kind of like give biden a hint it's time to go buddy or else we are going to drop the hammer? >> i mean, it's hard to say for sure. but what we know obviously is that the media deploys information to conceal it or divulge it for the interest of their sources inside the democratic party and the u.s. security state and i just want to emphasize because i can't talk about the hunter biden situation without doing so, that this was the topic of the single biggest media fraud in the last, i think at least decade, which is right before the election. the cia spread to the media which repeated it and then big tech censored on the basis of it the lie that all these documents were russian disinformation. biden wins the election, because they suppressed that story. then all of a sudden, they want

to start doing reporting on biden as he is getting weak and all of these documents start emerging in the "the washington post" and the "new york times" come out and say oh now we are able to confirm their authenticity. so what you z. is cynical as your suggestion might be, that the media has already been playing these kinds of very extreme games with exactly this case for those kinds of motives. >> jesse: is it too big now? you have yellen involved, the treasury secretary. come on, poor little yellen is now involved in the cover-up. the cia as you said was involved before the election. federal prosecutors have to know what they are dealing with. they have 150 suspicious activity transactions. you have a atlanta, it's a gold mine. you have diamonds being bribed. you have 6 million from the chinese. the guy is under a fisa surveillance wire that gets indicted and arrested. they drag joe across the finish line. cover it up. this thing is so big involving silicon valley, the fbi, the

cia, big media, how can you continue to cover this thing up. do you think they are going to get away with it? >> i any what we have to remember whether we talk about hunter biden had this only been corruption by hunter biden, it would be an elm waiver wassing scandal. a kind of thing presidents had with family doing sketchy and shady corrupt things trading on influence in order to self-enrich. in this case there is no question as we know about those documents lied about and claimed to be false when they were real that all along, at least enemy of these transactions there was an anticipation that joe biden himself would be involved. so we're not just talking about protecting hunter biden. we are clearly talking about protecting joe biden as well and at this point at the very least, jesse, we should have an independent prosecutor who is not beholden to the chain of command that ends with joe biden to make decisions not just about hunter biden but also about the president himself.

>> jesse: we need prosecutor faith in this thing. i have very little faith. glenn greenwald. thank you for your reporting. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: the climate shut down highways so you can't get to work join me next. ♪ my parole, if i don't make -- you all are so interested --
