Is a Fox News alert. Now, a bit of a surprise. Hunter Biden is offering to testify at a public hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into his dad. That's according to a letter from his attorney just obtained by Fox. Hunter's already scheduled to appear for a closed door deposition on December 13th. [00:00:18] Keep it on Fox for the latest. He's got a new. He's got a new strategy. Attack, attack, attack! He's trying to sue everybody. Hunter Biden has gone from playing defense to now going on the offense against House Republicans who have been obsessed with investigating him in an effort [00:00:37] to tie his business deals to Joe Biden, allegedly engaging in shady business deals and profiting off of them. Now, there has been absolutely no evidence provided to make that case. The allegations against President Joe Biden, who many of you know, [00:00:53] I don't have a lot of love for, has just been unfounded, absolutely unfounded. And it's been embarrassing for House Republicans who have latched on to this issue. So what is Hunter Biden doing differently now? Well, apparently his lawyers have declared that Hunter Biden is, in fact, willing [00:01:09] to answer some questions before the House Oversight Committee on December 13th. But there's a catch. Rather than doing a closed door hearing, he wants a public hearing before the American people, which I think is great. That's transparent. [00:01:26] The American people should be able to see these proceedings. Earlier this month, the Republican led House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden, President Joe Biden's son and brother, setting up a highly anticipated showdown as House Republicans continue to search [00:01:42] for whether the president committed an impeachable offense in connection to his family's foreign business dealings. A high bar they have yet to meet. Now, this is the first time that the panel has directly subpoenaed members of the Biden family. [00:02:00] Republicans allegations of corruption by the Bidens is still unfounded. They haven't provided any evidence. Let me be clear. Is it feasible? Is it is it impossible for Joe Biden [00:02:15] to have committed a crime of corruption? No, I don't I don't think it's impossible, which is why I've been open minded to these allegations. It's just that you have to provide evidence of the allegations. Remember several months ago, James Comer, Republican James Comer and other members [00:02:32] of the House Oversight Committee were dancing around super jubilant about a Hunter Biden business partner agreeing to give them information and testimony about these business dealings. And you want to know what he said to them? No, there's absolutely no evidence. [00:02:49] I've seen no indication that President Biden benefited or profited from foreign business dealings that Hunter Biden engaged in. James Comer didn't even show up to his testimony because he knew it was bunk. [00:03:05] He knew there was nothing there. But let me give you more on this. So Republicans have essentially fallen flat in their efforts to connect Joe Biden to the money that his son, Hunter Biden, made from China and elsewhere through these foreign business deals. [00:03:20] Abe Lowell, who was one of Hunter Biden's attorneys, actually tore into House Republicans, calling their efforts a political stunt riddled with discredited conspiracies about the Biden family. He says, quote, here we are, 11 months into your so-called investigation, and [00:03:37] every objective review of your revelations includes, including by some of your colleagues, has declared your exploration as one turning up only dry holes. Your committee has been working for almost a year, without success, [00:03:53] to tie our client's business activities to his father. Committee chairman, Representative James Comer. You know, the guy who couldn't be bothered to show up to the hearing with the former Hunter Biden business partner. That guy. He's the guy who issued the subpoena. [00:04:11] He previously said that Hunter Biden's testimony was needed to determine the extent that Joe Biden knew and was involved in, and benefited from his family's influence peddling schemes. But apparently, that testimony ain't that important if Hunter Biden insists [00:04:30] on providing that testimony publicly. Abloh says, Mr. Chairman, we take you up on your offer accordingly. Our client will get right to it by agreeing to answer any pertinent and relevant questions you or your colleagues might have. [00:04:47] But rather than subscribing to your cloaked, one sided process, we. He will appear at a Public Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing. Lowell also mentioned the reason why they want to do this publicly. [00:05:02] They're concerned about Republicans engaging in selective leaks if these hearings are done privately. Manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, and one sided press statements. Lowell says, quote, your empty investigation has gone on too long, [00:05:18] wasting too many better used resources. It should come to an end. Consequently, Mr. Biden will appear at such a public hearing on the date you noticed December 13th, or any date in December that we can arrange. [00:05:34] And guess what? The Republicans in the House Oversight Committee, they don't want it. They don't want the public hearing. Okay. Is like, yeah, we'll eventually maybe do a public hearing, but we're not going to let Hunter Biden set the rules. We want this to be privately done so we can manipulate the the narrative [00:05:53] to the American people, misinformed Republican voters. So they're under the impression that there's all this evidence, a mountain of evidence that Hunter Biden profited off of these foreign deals that Hunter Biden was engaged in. It's so embarrassing, guys. And look, I don't I don't I don't care about the Bidens at all, okay? [00:06:09] I don't care if Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, all of them are found guilty of corruption and imprisoned. I don't care, I really don't. What I do care about is the endless illusion of governance from both parties, the endless engagements and investigations that do nothing [00:06:26] for the American people at all. It just gives you the illusion that they're doing their jobs. In reality, they are not doing their jobs. They're wasting their time twiddling their thumbs, engaging in politically motivated investigations. And I'm sick of it was what are your thoughts on this? [00:06:45] Everything seems to be for effect with these guys. Everything seems to be a PR stunt and sadly, this isn't new. Those of us who are old enough to remember the Clinton administration, Whitewater, the shade, the quote unquote shady dealings at the Mena airport. [00:07:01] This is before they basically chased his penis up and down the Beltway with the Monica Lewinsky scandal. We had that. Fortunately for Barack Obama, the one thing that you can say about that guy, he kept his nose extra clean while he was in Washington. [00:07:17] And so there were no scandals. They couldn't bring him up on investigations or any anything like that. The closest they got was a tan suit. And now Joe Biden being the latest. But no, you know what they got Hillary Clinton guys remember Benghazi I do. [00:07:32] You've never heard it since like as soon as that thing was over, as soon as she was out of state, it never came up again. Nobody cares about it. That was the last witch hunt that we saw from these guys. And now they got this with Hunter Biden, which, again, it's not as if they're [00:07:48] questioning the premise that the children of prominent and influential people get to basically use their proximity to that influence to get very plum jobs abroad and domestically. Right. Like they're not even attacking that as a premise because they can't. [00:08:06] That's part of the perks of being a politician that your kids and the people around you get to benefit from your proximity to power. They're claiming something that they probably more than likely cannot prove, which is that Joe Biden was making money off of Hunter [00:08:22] Biden's ridiculous job in the Ukraine. Yeah, you're absolutely right about that. And again, like, it's so frustrating that as the United States crumbles for various reasons, we've got so many problems. You have those in positions of power wasting their time [00:08:39] with politically motivated investigations. And I love that you went back to the Clinton administration because you're absolutely right. I mean, that was a politically motivated impeachment process, and it actually ended up hurting the Republican Party because the American public looked at what was going on. And they're like, I don't know, man. They're they're getting way too involved in the president's personal life. [00:09:00] And this doesn't really do it for us. But I want to go back to the reactions from conservatives in regard to this new strategy by Hunter Biden and his lawyer, because apparently Fox News is very upset [00:09:15] at Hunter Biden's insistence that this be a public and transparent process. Let's watch. I agree that I prefer hearings to be done behind closed doors, because I think that they actually get to the heart of the matter and they get some truth, and they [00:09:31] can ask questions without preening for the camera, without all the grandstanding. That is my preference. And for for Abbe Lowell, his attorney, to say, well, you all use that to misinform and to distort the facts. Well, you know what? You can do that too, Abbe. After he comes out of his closed door session, you feel free to knock [00:09:48] yourself out and you can distort to. I mean, it's it's it's a silly argument and and Comber has said, fine, sit, sit before us publicly a public hearing. We'll do that later. We want the closed door one first. And I think that's totally, totally appropriate. Hunter Biden would love nothing more than to sit, have cameras pointed at him [00:10:06] and try to generate the narrative that he wants to to form. And I think it's proper and right that you're right. He gets he gets to do another one maybe on 60 minutes or wherever he wants to go. I don't know about you guys, but I, as an American, love it when these [00:10:22] kinds of hearings and investigations are done behind our backs, behind closed doors, concealed from the public. I like to be kept in the dark. I don't know about you. - What do you think was. - Just the height of absurdity? That somehow closed door hearings are more transparent than actually [00:10:40] people getting to see for themselves? Like, I'm sorry, the American people deserve to watch these clowns ask their ridiculous questions. See their posture. See? See the tone in which they ask these questions. And honestly, judge Hunter Biden's answers for what they are. [00:10:58] I think it's obvious that a public hearing is way more transparent than as. By the way, like a lot of people at home who don't care about sports wouldn't know this. But that was Michele Tafoya up there. She's she's from the sports world. She actually ended up getting canceled a few years back for like being like I [00:11:18] forget what she was right wing about, but it's just crazy to see her end up on Fox News right here, because she was like a really respected, sports media person. And then she came out, like, came out the closet as a right winger and, and ruined her career that way. And now she's on Fox and Friends. This is kind of funny. [00:11:35] And now this is what she does. She's basically saying that the actual transparent thing to do is to hide everything from the public. It's insane. But I love that that context. I actually was not familiar with her, and so I enjoy her fall from grace and seeing her on Fox News. [00:11:52] Yeah, it's. The first time I've seen her like outside of the context of like Monday Night Football or something like this is kind of it's kind of jarring, honestly. Well, look. Considering the fact that she got canceled, I can understand why she likes to do things behind closed doors. Yes. [00:12:07] If you enjoyed this video, that's because of our members.
