this is a completely politicized the federal agents that are federal agencies, b, o, j b, a, b i, b r, a risk cetera. so it shows you that everybody, the vamped and politicized through and through and all of the actions that they take depend on politics. homer is talked about this as a 2 tiered justice system system. i would say it's a no just the system. it's a, it's a total, a terry and system whereby those work on the correct political side cannot commit crimes. and those who are on the wrong political side are put in prison or jail for, for nothing. and finally this news, our decades of conflict between israel posts of left not just conflicts dead but often lives turned on their heads. but one palestinian simply and who was so badly injured in this really rate that he was given up for dead is proving you can still overcome adversity. even in one's darkest days, ortiz maria phenomena went to meet him. a small we is a barber every morning for the last 27 years. he's been coming to. he's alone in guys a c t to do what he does best after 2021. it became much harder though you were in

so i was curious if you'd made the agreement as above the sup agent building railways, apples and quote, smart city in new york. but it's amazing. didn't do that. well, this is jane with the kids. if we use arrival of trying to caching on the conflicts a senior fellow at the time he instituted thing thing in the kind of mind calling union, a neal, that's the issue of who will be picking out the bill. is the crucial point as well . i think we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. who's going to pay this $1.00, and roughly $1.00 trillion dollar. you know, the cost of all of this stuff. i mean, it is certainly not ukraine, but who is going to pay for? there is no blank check. the u. s. and europe are not going to be in a position to add onto their existing debt to pay for ukraine. all right, the south korea, they have a $1.00 trillion dollar economy. they're hurting right now. they're not in a position to lend that kind of money in the press conference following the 2 leaders meeting that, that sol plans to provide quote, a larger scale of military supplies to ukraine this year that

the head of an oversight committee in the us congress has claimed that the f b i agent has confirmed allegations that jo biden's, eldest son hunter, was given a favorable treatment by investigators during corruption pro on the day of the 100 by the an interview federal agents were told to stand by and could not approach 100 bite and they had to wait for his call as a result of the change in plans. iris and f. b. i. criminal investigators never got to interview 100 biden. as part of the investigation. it seems like the more we learned about 100 right in the more we find that he has a different set of rules and the rest of us. so the latest revelation comes from the house oversight committee. they're giving new insight into that federal investigation into 100 biden, which includes the revelation that the president's son escaped in interview with the f. b i back in december 2020. that as, according to the testimony of a former f b, i agent which backs up the claims made by an iras whistle blower. as a reminder, hunter has been the subject of a 5 year long investigation by the us governm

i agent quoted by congress says that the secret service and president jo biden's, transition team were given a heads up and as a result the f. b, i was told not to approach hunter, but to wait for his call instead. now, of course, when it comes to joe biden, he has claimed that he wasn't aware of his son's business dealings, but the house oversight committee also released a timeline in which they say there's a bite and family and their associates created more than 20 companies and received more than $10000000.00 from foreign nationals as it. now republicans in congress have pledge to continue to investigate the bible families business dealings. and as for hunter himself, he is due in court next week where he is expected to make that plea deal official. the motives are of course, to protect the democratic party, to protect the democratic run unit party system that runs the country. this is a completely politicized a federal agent set of federal agencies b o j the f, b i b r s, because that's true. so it shows you that everybody of the vamped and politicized ruins through and all of the

that's according to the testimony of a former f b i agent, which backs up the claims made by an iris whistle blower. as a reminder, hunter has been the subject of a 5 year long investigation by the us government that has resulted in plans for a plea deal where she is expected to plead guilty to to mister meaner charges of tax evasion. and one felony charge of lying about his drug use on a federal form when purchasing a firearm back in 2018. but it appears that plans through interview 100 directly went astray just one month after the 2020 election. the former f. b. i agent quoted by congress says that the secret service and president jo biden's, transition team were given a heads up and as a result the f. b, i was told not to approach hunter, but to wait for his call instead. now, of course, when it comes to joe biden, he is claims that he wasn't aware of his son's business dealings. but the house oversight committee also released a timeline in which they say there's a bite in family and their associates created more than 20 companies and received more than $10000000.00 from foreign n

also, i and i've advised many agents on this in publishers when they're when their author wants to to narrate. and we say audition just to kind of set expectations. i think that's really important because even though they may have a platform as anthony said, and they may, you know, speak all over the world, it doesn't mean that when they get in booth that they won't fumble, that they may get nervous. and our job is long overdue. sers is to produce the best audiobook possible. it's not personal. and i've had to tell, you know, of the authors this, but the good side, you know, in our studios is the studio guys do work with them. so i say listen this a really important author they may not deliver the best work but if you could work with them and usually they do because whatever is going to sell the audiobook that's what we want. you know we want the best product, but we also have to manage their expectation actions. and i think that's where you agents in and do a little handholding and say, listen you may not get it, but know don't, please don't take it personally. and there have been ra

agents. are you aware of his assertion? >> i am not. >> would you agree with him that it was filled with federal agents on january 6th. >> i would have to get the full context to evaluate. >> how many agents or human resources were present at the capitol complex and vicinity on january 6th? >> again, it is going to get confusing. depends on when -- we deployed and responded to the breach that occurred. there were federal agents -- >> you and i both know we're talking different things here. don't distract here. we're focusing on those who were there in an undercover capacity on january 6th, how many were there? >> again, i'm not sure i can give you that number as i sit here. i don't know if there were under cover agents on scene. >> i find that kind of a remarkable statement, director. at this point you don't know whether there were under cover federal agents, f.b.i. agents in the crowd or in the capitol on january 6th? >> i say that because i want to be very careful. there have been a number of court filings related to some of t

agents. are you aware of his assertion? >> i am not. >> would you agree with him that it was filled with federal agent on january 6th? >> i would really have to see more closely exactly what he said and get the full context to be able to evaluate it. >> how many agents or human resources were present in the capitol complex and vicinity on january 6th. >> again, it's going to get confusing because it depends on when we deployed and responded to the breach that occurred. obviously there were federal agents -- >> sure. you're talking -- and you and i both know, we're talking different things here and please don't distract here because we're focusing on those who were there in an undercover capacity on january 6th. how many were there? >> i'm not sure i can give you that number as i sit here. i'm not sure there were undercover agents on scene. >> i find that kind of a remarkable statement, director. at this point, you don't know whether there were undercover federal agents, fbi agents in the crowd or in the capitol on january 6th? >

purchased and see if we could g o. locate the source, why you're a journalist, you're not an f b i agent. it's not your job to see that this kid is cap shared and prosecuted spending it to make matters worse. he was arrested and charged in a federal court in massachusetts. the eastern district of massachusetts, not known for its uh, espionage act prosecutions. so now they're trying to transfer the case to washington, and that's fascinating, that they are looking into the guy. and i can't say that i haven't read stories and found the stories interesting about who this guy is and how some kid ended up with clearance. that's all well and good. sure. but if there's information out there that tells me that my government, who's been telling me all along, but ukraine is made up of nothing but superman. yes. and that your lender would go with the man della and that they're doing great. and they're kicking the crap out of russia, but in this report. busy the link, it says really the united states doesn't think that they're ukrainians, they're doing so well. that's right. the things that are offen

agent? director wray: no. iill say this notion that somehow the violence at the capitol on january 6 was part of a some operation orchestrated by f.b.i. sources and agents is ludicrous and a disservice to our brave hardworking dedicated men and women. mr. cohen: director, i agree with you. i think the f.b.i. has some of the most talented law enforcement people in our nation and world. and they are concerned about safety. they tend to, as i understand it, lean republican. but they do their job down the line. that's what they are supposed to do. i'm happy we have the f.b.i. operating in memphis and other places to work with our police departments in joint units to protect our citizens. i thank you for your service to the united states. i yield back >> the gentleman from california is recognized. >> thank you. director i'm going follow up on my colleagues from memphis. mr. issa: how many individuals were either f.b.i. employees or people at the f.b.i. had made contact with or in the january 6 entry of the capitol a

i a agent, right. you are chief of uh, what was it just counter terrorism ops. that's a big deal. it was a big deal. yeah. these are what years. uh, 2002 in pakistan. so immediately after the $911.00 attacks i took up so that, and see what you just said. it's so important you just said immediately. this country was crazed after the 911 attacks between what the media was doing to us and the politicians were doing to us. you had really thought that this was the beginning of the end of the world, but this was pearl harbor the times. you know, 10, we compared it to pearl harbor. yeah. it really was it by the way, but we tried to do that. so everybody was going around looking for ghosts, we needed to kill everybody. and anybody who looked like a muslim or smelled like a muslim, we were going to take it by the way. i didn't mean that and it any offensive way or no, i know exactly what you want, but the whole thing was, you know, we're all doing this, this test for anybody who's so. so that was the environment that was going on at the time. and that led to sure what turned into our pract

and then i discovered i was a victim of agent orange who i knew them and but it was agent orange dialogue with him, but killed my child. not me, i stick it out. that last was never be he numer came up last done the whole year and there are multiple accounts of with them. these children being born with deformities of the limp spine. i'm more estimates show that 4800000 people were directly exposed to agent orange and more than 3000000 have developed health problems in high no, we a state sponsored facility has been given vocational training to agent, orange victims, the loan to switch creat, taught as well as read and write in the hope that the skills will help them on the livelihood, instead of falling by the wayside of, you know, mean, so fighting in 2014 know, filed a lawsuit in front against 14 companies such as dow chemical and one center that produced agent orange, the companies argued that they were not responsible for how the us military decided to use the product. in the end, the french called to out her case, it seems like this goes over to when i receive the message that was sen

under a dropper, of course i recognized this agent on the podium, i knew that he was getting close tofor this. i 'd rather break this agent's legs. in short, petrov will resolve all issues for one of the athletes or the coaching staff through me. this is the order of egorov sport will not return again decided to postpone the operation too big a risk, at least he can walk. my region is represented by another athlete. seleznev a. the fact that he had problems with doping removed the disqualification for a long time, all petrov is free. there is rodion evdokimenkov 30 years earlier was brought for hooliganism nickname, rodya, you might have heard rhodium, not also not him, like, listen, i’m not sure that i can recognize someone. it's dark here at night, as in general, the owner saves on electricity. they then jumped. so you saw the car said. there is a good record for him for six months, forward. looks like i'll have to look for something at home. yes, you have medicine there, probably a newer paradise, i understand that i'm already tired, but i don't want him not to be offended.

what was his reputation among agents? >> i think the agents really respected hoover. he built the institution in his own image. really in the early years especially, hand selected agents that represented him and his views, a very particular image. when we think of an fbi agent or a g-man, there are very specific ideas about who that is. will it be a tall white guy in a suit with a hat and shiny shoes and a certain set of political views. during his lifetime, i do not think agents loved him. he was a hard boss to work for. they had a lot of respect for him. right now my sense is the fbi has an ambivalent relationship with hoover. on one hand he did build the institution. on the other hand i think some of the most outrageous things the bureau did in the 60's and 70's do not make them great firm they want to be now. >> let's see what callers have to say. skip with waterbury connecticut. you are on with offer beverly gage. >> i read your book and it took me three days and three nights and then i had to reread it for a week. here is what i am wondering about. how much did

i know the name of the fbi agent. well, i remember the incident incredibly clearly. the cars were lined up on route 23 waiting to make that hand turn into the cia. so and this is often when people attacked, so they're kind of stuck in traffic. they can't hit the and run away. there were bumper to bumper lined up and the guy came and shot into the cars that were lined up waiting in turn. yeah so the line yeah thank you for that comment. yeah. you jack. yes. kathleen. yeah, i was curious about the work that the fbi does overseas and you said it was mentioned overseas several places. so do you have any stories you can share with us about your work in particular paris? and also when you mentioned princess diana's. you were there when she died. if we were involved, fbi was involved in anything. okay. so for the most part, the fbi not what we call operational overseas overseas, started back in world war two, believe or not, the fbi got permission from the state department or whatever you want to say. they stationed three, three officer positions in ottawa, mexico city, mex

i said. here i'm not sure that we are undercover agents on scene. >> i find that a remarkable statement, director this point you don't know whether there were undercover federal agents, fbi agents, in the crowd or in the capital on january 6th? >> i say that because i want to be careful, there have been a number of court filings related to these topics. i want to make sure that i stick within -- >> i understand that. but i thought i heard you say you didn't know whether there were fbi agents or informants, or human sources in the capital or in the vicinity on january six. did i misunderstand? two adults we said. >> i referred specifically to undercover agents. >> so are you acknowledging then that their undercover agents? >> as i sit here, i do not believe there were undercover agents on scene. >> to do have any assets present that day? in the crowd? >> when it comes to what you're calling assets, but what we call confidential human sources, that is a place where, again, i want to be careful as much as i said in response to your earlier question, there are court filings that i think speak to, thi

i want to know what you thought the fbi agent was inferring. what did you think? what do you think when you heard that? of relationship with joe biden and hunter biden and his business transactions when he's still in office. >> yes. i can't go beyond what you have quoted me and saying in my testimony. so i'll just leave it there. >> thank you. mr. zeigler, on page 104 of yours, you mentioned that mr. biden, hunter biden, attempted to obtain a business tax deduction on his return for hotel rooms that were used by his father, joe biden. tell us about that, please. >> so yeah, on his tax return, he deduct add hotel room for his dad, so joe biden. and we got the invoice from the hotel that showed the dad's name on it. >> so for that to be a valid business deduction, you -- he would have to be doing business with hunter biden. is that not true? >> we would typically, a typical part of the process would be to interview that person to find out what might have happened, why did you go to that hotel room. based on statements he made in his book, i mean, you can correlate to

um, i need the message and i need the shuttle agent. i need the shuttle. the total mind did to quit school. my did surgical meal number going difficult, but i'm going to instead of wide, somebody did someone with the to be a birth certificate or the most the 1000 items which of the annual which assessed on his my number to much to build a document which suits me much to the, the, the shows that the sales for stock, or the supporters are you able to go look for both them. we'll also small, little gold is just about the, just the trends that i'm so you speak the deals. a blog proposal could be to the issue that central region one is a sports chest. the start the car, just push to for you to you. sure. especially on 6, always try to make your school is a 1st opportunity choose for us. so from that, i don't think we're ready to post of conduct sold to allow us to sit off when you, when you talk about charlie is all it is because here's what's the height of the slide show in the future too close to know that we see on the floor separating the yom, rosanna visit

why you're a journalist, you're not an f b i agent. it's not your job to see that this kid is cap shared and then prosecuted spending it to make matters worse. he was arrested and charged in a federal court in massachusetts, the eastern district of massachusetts, not known for its a espionage jack prosecutions. so now they're trying to transfer the case to washington, and that's fascinating, that they are looking into the guy. and i can't say that i haven't read stories and found the stories interesting about who this guy is and how some kid ended up with clarence. that's all well and good. sure. but if there's information out there that tells me that my government, who has been telling me all along, but ukraine is made up of nothing but superman. yes. and that you'll enter go with them and della and that they're doing great. and they're kicking the crap out of russia, but in this report that he link, it says really the united states doesn't think that they're ukrainians are doing so well. that's frank. things that are offensive is goi

but i can't from the top of my head go through that list. there's a lot of agentswho do investigations. so let me check into that and see if there's any way we can get back to you on that. i don't want to get out over my skis. >> thank you. the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized for five minutes. >> director wray, thank you for being here today. on june 21st, the committee heard testimony from special counsel john durham. have you reviewed his findings and dispute any of those? >> i have reviewed them. it's a big multi hundred-page binder of it sitting to my right on my desk. i refer to it frequently. i can't say that i'm aware of anything specific that i would dispute in. it certainly, as you may know, not only did we fully cooperate with him in the investigation, as he noted in his report, but actually i assign much of the agents and personnel to work on it with him and help him. and i'm very proud of the fact that the reforms that we've put in place in response to the inspector general's investigation, and also into the hurricane as well as mueller changes w

agents? >> i'm not sure i understand how to answer your question. how serious? >> yes. they have to be very serious to be undertaken by such elite agents. >> i think i can answer this. we have to treat each taxpayer the same. that's the most important. we are kind of the agents that come in there, and we have the expertise to work these complex financial investigations, so whether there are more serious -- we have to treat each taxpayer the same, and that's what i try to do. >> i was referring to these particularly complex, high dollar -- i understand you have to give equal treatment. mr. zigler, you called the hunter biden investigations a "complex criminal tax investigation." and i understand that it was an interagency effort involving the irs, fbi, and doj tax division in d.c. mr. ziegler, is it fair to say about this sort of interagency team is only assembled for serious and complex investigations? >> i can only speak to what happened in this particular investigation. the reason why other agencies might join an investigation, that just depends on the crimes were inve

i have been an agent with the irs since 2010. in 2007 i received my undergraduate receipt degree from ohio university. why mba from john carroll university. upon starting my career at the irs, i worked at urged in young as an extra auditor. throughout my career with the irs, i have worked a variety of successful criminal tax and money laundering investigations. in 2018, i transitioned into being a part of the international tax of financial crimes group out of the washington d.c. crime office. i was a lead iris kates agent on the hunter biden investigation. i recently discovered that people are saying i must be more credible because i'm a democrat who happens to be married in a man. i am no more credible than this man sitting m due to my sexual orientation or my political beliefs. the truth is, my credibility comes today from my job the variance with the iris. and my intimate knowledge with the agency standards of and procedure. i have always striving to do what is right. i do have my supporters, others have said i am a traitor to

i have been an agent with the irs since 2010. in 2007 i received my undergraduate receipt degree from ohio university. why mba from john carroll university. upon starting my career at the irs, i worked at urged in young as an extra auditor. throughout my career with the irs, i have worked a variety of successful criminal tax and money laundering investigations. in 2018, i transitioned into being a part of the international tax of financial crimes group out of the washington d.c. crime office. i was a lead iris kates agent on the hunter biden investigation. i recently discovered that people are saying i must be more credible because i'm a democrat who happens to be married in a man. i am no more credible than this man sitting next to me due to my sexual orientation or my political beliefs. the truth is, my credibility comes today from my job the variance with the iris. and my intimate knowledge with the agency standards of and procedure. i have always striving to do what is right. i do have my supporters, others have said i am a tr

c, i a agents, a formidable person, smart guy, and he's written what, how many books now the relented spikes doing time is a spite. these are great books. thank people should read. because your story is remarkable, but uh, you did go to prison. mm hm. i did. what can i, what was that like? well, the 2nd book that i wrote doing time, like a spies about that. now i was originally supposed to go to a minimum security work camp, that's what the judge ordered. but the justice department was so angry by what they thought was my light sentence, that behind the scenes they sent me to an actual prison. so when i went to check in, and instead of taking me to the camp across the street, they took me around to the back of the prison, and i said, no, no, i'm supposed to be at the, at the cap. and the guard said not according to my paper work here. oh no. and so i told myself, take it easy. there's nothing you can do. call your lawyers when you can. but i, i decided, well i, i ended up calling my lawyers and they said, look, we can file a motion, but it'll take us 2 years before we get a hearing an

the new york times reported that a former c i a agent turn whistleblower who was convicted for disclosing information was approached by rudy giuliani, who reportedly told the former agent that he could quote, secure she, i'm a pardon for $2000000.00 and joining us now is that agent mentioned in the new york times article, who was also a host of whistle blowers and is no stranger to the truth telling about our government and its full pause in pick and bellows. john carrie accurate is good enough to join us down to talk about this. thanks for being here. john. thanks for having me. let's get right to this thing with rudy giuliani. so can you, can you just put us there, giuliani visit you or how did, how did you get this? well for i had heard that giuliani had been talking about pardons with various people. i needed a pardon. i had been convicted of violating the intelligence identities protection, act me back in 2012, and i needed a pardon in order to get my federal pension back and which is very important. yes. so i know a guy who knows a guy who knows juliani, i called my friend and i sai

then you said the fbi agent inexplicably seizes that line of questioning. i want to note the fbi agent -- the business transactions for what he is still in office. >> i can't go beyond the testimony. i'll just leave it there. >> mr. ziegler, on page 104 of yours, you mentioned that mr. biden, hunter biden attempted to -- on his return for hotel rooms used by his father, joe biden. tell us about that. >> on his tax return, he read today hotel room for his dad, joe biden. we actually got the envoys from the hotel that shows the dad's name on it. >> for that to be a valid business deduction, he would have to be doing that business with hunter biden. is that not true? >> typically the part of the process would be to interview that person, to find out what might have happened. why did you go to that hotel room. based on statements that he made in his book, you can correlate what was kind of going on around that time. >> how does this become a valid business detection if joe biden's just they are on vacation? >> generally speaking, to be a valid business deduction

durham and i signed agents to help him. at his request, we slowed down the administrative process to allow his investigation to complete itself. now that it is complete, our personal processes are very much ongoing. >> i think it is more the troubling that under your watch we see this continue to occur. and you have often continued to be empowered after there was a investigation and an effort by the nba to -- give wrong information. the issue here has been wrapped up in a cloud of politics. but the fact is that the american people deserve to know how the fisa court is being abused and how it is being abused because the former president in against them. in light of the report that we saw with mr. johnson from louisiana put forward that was in a court filing, in a court report. we will move on to another topic. on september 23rd, 2022, 20 heavily armed agents stormed the home of mark houck. you're familiar with this? >> i'm familiar with this case a little bit, yes. >> this was after mr. houck's lawyer reached out and said he

for the most i do age progress is to reimburse the agent that has happened so that i can be to stay in biological age. we all know how much money that our bank account we don't how much we way we know how many social media followers. yeah . we don't know our speed of aging, but how fast are you a unit? and if you had an aging point, like your bank account would, you spend a certain way is if we have asian points, we have an a bank account, then society could shift instead of us saying we're going to be a martyr or wealth or status or whatever would it change and that balance a little more be about 2 minutes and we become an excess about when he becomes this b. c. acknowledge as that was brian johnson. he has, he's 45 years old, but he really wants to achieve apply logical buddies of 18 years old. is it possible to stop aging or with us aging? joining us to discuss this, we have mingo, as a physician, scientists and directors, the aging center. the university of california, los angeles, with us from bell, great stub yet, peter felt a chest founder and chief science officer at jerad. i'm
