he contacted james biden, president biden's brother. patrick ho's decision to call the biden family around the same time he got arrested is revealing, particularly in light of the fact that the same month $1 million just happened to be transferred to hunter biden's company. hunter biden isn't a criminal attorney, criminal defense attorney. patrick ho was charged and convicted for bribery and related federal offenses and crimes. so what kind of representation was patrick ho's company paying hunter biden's firm to provide? were they paying for his firm's legal expertise or for hunter's political connections? in march 2021, senator grassley and i asked the justice department about patrick ho. why? because there's a federal court filing that says the department has pfizer records on patrick ho. we requested these records. in response, the department would not confirm whether they even had his records. unfortunately, the attorney general refused to clarify that outrageous contradiction for congress. oh, and one more tidbit. in a recently unc

chinese were financing a global shopping spree for james biden, hunter biden's uncle and more.o in government watching out for this? is the fbi on the stick? what happened with matt gaetz and a fbi official. watch this. >> but that is shocking that you wouldn't as the assistant director of cyber know whether or not there are international business deals, kickbacks, shakedowns that are on this laptop that would make the first family suspect to some sort of compromise. mr. assistant director, have you assessed whether or not the first family is compromised as a result of the hunter biden laptop? >> sir, as a representative of the fbi cyber program it is not in the realm of my responsibilities to deal with the questions that you're asking me. >> has anyone at fbi cyber been asked to make assessments whether or not the laptop creates a point of vulnerability? elizabeth: you know didn't answer that question either. maybe not, maybe it is not that guy's job, right, congressman comer but that is the question. we know that matt gaetz had a copy of hunter biden's laptop hard drive put i

and among such companies as cefc, northern international capital, hudson west iii, hunter biden's owasco and james lyons group. keep in mind, hunter biden, james biden, ye jin, going on wen dong and patrick ho, to name a few -- going on wen dong and patrick ho, to name a few. they have operated over a period of years and with respect to millions of dollars. now, the next poster. those connections are illustrated by the second poster which i made public last november. it's an original bank record with one typographical error in all. here you have hunter biden, gongwen dong and mer mervin jiang exercising an an signment together -- assignment, so especially to the liberal media, who ought to be plifsing our -- policing our government system, they shouldn't have to have members of congress giving all this information out, but is this official record russian disinformation? in our next speeches we'll show you more records that haven't been seen before. records that undeniably show strong links between biden family and communist china. today is just a small taste. i'd like to know one thing before sena

what "the washington post" is talking about, $4.8 million to hunter biden and james biden for who knowsecome amazing. why did they pay chinese communist pay that to hunter biden? why did media and the big tech companies act in parallel to spike that story last year, or before the election? and why are they writing about it now? elizabeth: you know, hunter wasn't mentioned in the panama papers or pan dura papers. by the way they're from delaware that is the land of llcs. they basically, set up these shell companies. by the way senators chuck grassley and ron johnson had this in their senate report that came out in 2020. we've known about this, been reporting on it for some time chinese communist cefc, big player in the belt and road push for china, basically was doing business with hunter biden, sending him 4.8 million to the shell companies, a million dollars also to represent patrick ho who has been convicted and until jail for bribery, trying to bribe african leaders for oil permits. basically he was selling a way to evade sanctions on iran oil this is big, major geopolitical stuff, s

senators chuck grassley and ron johnson released documents from 2017 and 2018 showing hunter and james biden'st for a gas project signed between hunter biden and an associate of ming. founder and chairman of cefc. grassley claims both are connected to elements of china's military. a bank record shows a $5 million transfer from ye and cefc company hudson west three. grassley says hunter was an investor and manager of the company. there is a million dollars transfer for hunter to represent patrick ho, a cefc official who federal authorities arrested in november of 2017 for international bribery and money laundering charges. hunter biden was not accused of legal wrongdoing. >> i think there is ample evidence that they were trading on that name. >> the white house referred fox news to statements joe biden's campaign issued in october 2020. quote: joe biden has never even considered being involved in business with his family nor in any overseas business whatsoever. he has never held stock in any such business arrangements nor has any family member or any other person ever held stock for him. as for

monthly bills, and we also know that hunter received money from china, at least $2 million went to james bidenr joe $31 million. it turned out to be a biden family from china and at least five from ukraine, but i 'm sure the numbers are much higher republicans in congress demand an investigation of the facts that came to light after the publication of hunter biden's letters to account are calling on the heads of social networks who hushed up the story of the former heads of the fbi and cia who indulged them, even the johnsacks, who abounded in the possibly corrupt president, are going to interrogate. we most likely won't get any responses until november of this year, but in november. we have a majority in both chambers and then we can call them all for questioning, if the democrats lose control of both chambers in the midterm elections to congress, the prospect of impeachment can become real for biden republicans have not forgotten how their president trump was twice tried to be removed from power. first impeachment. he was accused of trying to unravel the biden corruption schemes in ukraine h

obviously the chinese, james biden, jill biden and, of course, the big guy joe biden all ready to shareffices with the chinese. "the washington post" mentioned this yesterday and, yet, somehow they couldn't connect the dots between joe biden and cefc. huh? maybe they are just taking joe's word for it. >> i have never spoken to my son about his overseas accounts. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything happening to do with their businesses. >> >> jesse: how do you fly across the world to china with hunter, help him set up deals and then never ask hey, what did you do in china? how was the trip? come on, man it's obviously a lie we know hunter was putting aside 10% for the big guy. the emails prove it if there was ever any doubt hot big guy is hunter's associate tony bobulinski confirmed it. >> it has 10% held by the big guy h i 1,000% know the big guy is joe biden. that's crystal clear to me because i lived it i met with the former vice president in person multiple times. >> jesse: that 10% was for a joint venture between hunter and cefc and tony bobul

and it's always been the answer with many of the bidens from james biden to hunter biden and that isally troubling is this co-mingling of funds and references to joe biden. biden has already. -- joe biden has already been contradicted by witnesses. he said he knew nothing of these deals. he had no involvement. those statements are now contradicted by witnesses. and, yet. the attorney general has refused to appoint a special counsel. you can't drill very deeply on this without references to celtic or the big name for president biden justice department. >> jesse: they have to appoint a special counsel. it's the right thing to do. will they do it? probably not. it's the only way you are going to get fair and impartial justice here. jonathan turley, thank you so much for examining these issues with us. >> thank you. >> jesse: will smith gets a slap on the wrist for slapping chris rock. we're going to break that down after the next break. ♪ ♪ defenses every day, with vitamin c, d and zinc* season after season. ace your immune support with centrum. ♪ with my hectic life, you'd think retire

proving that dirty chinese money went directly into bank accounts owned by hunt and joe's brother james bidenhe washington post" even broke it up for us like this: cefc, china energy, paid $3.8 million in consulting fees to hunter and jim biden. what were they doing to earn this money? nobody knows. it was basically a grease job. these chinese guys were so shady american intelligence put one of them under fisa surveillance for bribing african leaders and helping iran evade u.s. sanctions. when the shady guy patrick ho got popped by the feds, the chinese wired hunter another million bucks for, what? to be his defense attorney. wait, but hunter isn't a defense attorney. well, which probably explains why patrick ho went to prison. but, what was hunter doing representing a corrupt chinese foreign national looking down the barrel of bribery charges here in the united states?

james landale, bbc news. the us president, joe biden, has signed a spending bill that includes over $13 billion in security assistancen said president putin's attack on ukraine had united people across the world, and in america, including both democrats and republicans in congress. mr biden will head to europe next week to take part in an emergency nato summit. joining me now is anders ostlund, a resident of kyiv and a contributor at the center for european policy analysis. good morning. you are amidst the 35 hour curfew. talkers through how the night has been. good morning. the night has been cold where i am. it is always a challenge in the mornings, in kyiv, to figure out what happened during the night. now i saw there was a missile attack but i have not figured out where yet. that is a pretty normal morning in kyiv these days, and it is the second two nights curfew we have had. i'm not sure exactly the reasons for this long curfew. last time it was that they wanted to clean out saboteurs and this time i presume it is about the shelling, they want to keep people safer. d0 shelling, they want to keep people safer.—

biden department. here to explain, project veritas founder james o'keefe. i apologize for that. now discovered. this is a big deal. >> this is the biggest abridgment of the first amendment in this country, act of violence against the first amendment for this is about ashley biden's diary, i thought we didn't corroborate that it was hers. turns out we are better journalist than we thought we were, the feds and "the new york times" have now verified that this was actually ashley biden's diary. the tipsters sense to us, first they raided our homes and they took our equipment, and then now it turns out i found out this week that they were spying on us. the department of justice was spying on journalists and project veritas going back eight months before we knew anything about this diary and spying on us and getting secret gag orders against microsoft through telling us that it took all of our emails. this is insane. this should shock everyone because they could do it to you. >> sean: let me make sure i point out some of the facts in this case but somebody came to you with the diary.

white house walk ed back his remark saying biden was not referencing regime change in russia. >> let's bring in former director of national intelligence james let's first get your reaction to president biden saying that vladimir putin cannot remain in power. >> well, i think the president was being president biden. he was saying out loud what a lot of people actually would hope for, and i think i know him well enough from my exposure with him when he was vice president that i think he had seen -- visited with some ukrainian refugees, and i think that probably affected him emotionally. and i think that statement just came out because i think he believes it. i don't think putin will be very surprised by it. there's no love lost between the two of them personally anyway. so i think president biden can count on not getting a christmas card from president putin. >> yeah, i think that's safe to say after he's also called him, you know, a butcher and all kinds of other personal insults, a war criminal, and so forth. but i wanted to hit on something that you said. you said this is what a lot of people around the world are probably thinking, that pu

james, is this really micro clearly it reveals joe biden pull—back feelings but is this an appealforge the leader internally?— to try and change the leader internall ? ~ . ., , internally? well, that is a really aood internally? well, that is a really good question. _ internally? well, that is a really good question, and _ internally? well, that is a really good question, and i _ internally? well, that is a really good question, and i must - internally? well, that is a really good question, and i must say, | internally? well, that is a really. good question, and i must say, it does seem as though it has a multiplicity of targets, this particular line. i would say that combined with a very harsh sanctions that have been imposed on putin, it may well be that biden is trying to ferment some kind of internal revolution. students of history will say no revolution happens with the people first suffering terrible starvation. look at the russian french revolutions. there is a sense that the severity of the sanctions combined with this aggressive stance from joe biden might make people think,

david. >> james longman leading us off on a friday night. thank you. >>> tonight the biden administration, the pentagon of course following this new messaging from russia closely. i want to bring in our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz with me in warsaw. i know you have been talking to your sources tonight. i'm so curious what they think here. did the russians underestimate the ukrainians, how hard it would be to push in on the capital? >> that's exactly what they do and exactly what they're dong now. they're moving the troops, moving them to defensive positions. they've given up on maneuverability. the tanks are stalled all over ukraine. they're going to have these defensive camps surrounding their artillery, but they will continue to shell those major cities, according to a u.s. official. >> hunker down in the east but keep firing. >> exactly. >> meantime i want the show the viewers this map, the eastern region, the donbas. it's what we were talking about at the begin of the war. when they say this is their goal all along, do your sources believe that? >>

so james, if if what the biden administration is currently doing in your view is not what we should be doing, what should we be doing? you know, and you know, i think it's really hobbyists what we should have been doing. if you want to break apart russia and china, then you make russia a less viable and less important ally under the bus. so the more we arm the ukrainians, the more we push food and supplies and the longer they can fight and the harder they can fight that puts a strain on that relationship. and then if we spend if we strengthen our nato alliance and we negate russia's two great threat, their military and energy, then then russia really can't threaten the west. china saddled with a country who has a decimated military. the enormity of the world and a huge debt that even the chinese can't bail them out front. and james, before we wrap it up here, what is it what does that indicate for china's future foreign policy? what is it what do you think all of this means? china might start thinking about taiwan, for instance, what they might continue to do in hong kong, for instance

thank you, james new this morning, president biden has announced new actions to target russia's economy. griff jenkins reports from washington on how a bipartisan group of lawmakers is calling on the president to take even more action. of the united states and our allies and partners continue to work in lockstep. to ramp up the economic pressures on putin . the u. s and its allies continue to crack down on russian president vladimir putin today. president biden announcing the us along with the g seven and european union, will call for revoking russia's most favored nation trade status that allows the u. s and others to impose tariffs on russian imports and further isolate russia's economy. many issues divided some washing. and standing for democracy in ukraine, pushing russia's aggression should not be one of those issues. each country will follow its own process to make that happen here in the u. s congress will have to pass legislation before the move takes effect. but in recent days there's been bipartisan support for revoking normal trade relations with russia. we have a bill sancti

the founder of project veritas ,james o'keefe, is now accusing biden's department of justice of serious misconduct following a questionable raid at o'keeffe's home and office. take a look. project veritas just obtained documents showing the fdny was spyingnalists well before the fi raided the homes of our journalists last november secretly reading our emails concealing that from a court in our case

political theater and it's time for cruz and republican senators roger wicker and james lankford are calling on the biden administration to end the mask mandate for public transportation. >> including airplanes, trains and transit hubs. why don't we let americans be americans? >> and to be able to choose in this process. >> that mandate was set to expire on march 18th. but last week the cdc and tsa extended for one more month. it's important people are crammed together. white house covid response. deputy coordinator natalie quillian says the additional time is needed to carefully review and revise the policy that we can give some predictability to when nasa beyond to protect public health. and if if the conditions are right when they might be able take off. i think cdc will produce by mid langford says the senate will vote this week to end the mask mandate on modes of public transportation using the congressional review act, which allows congress to stop rules introduced by the administration. the vote would only require a simple majority in the senate to pass but would still need to clear the house and
