Edward Lawrence
from washington. Ed. Reporter well, lou, the story has exploded from accusations against hunter biden and former
Vice President
joe biden to censorship by big tech companies. This all stems from a series of
New York Post
stories. The first one alleges that emails show hunter biden introduced his dad to a
Ukrainian Energy
executive linked to burisma. The former
Vice President
had maintained that he never met his sons
Business Associates
while in office. The second story alleges hunter worked out a deal with a
Chinese Business
man with ties to the
Chinese Military
after traveling to china on air force two with his father. Facebook limited exposure to both stories because of concerns over sourcing. Twitter blocked both stories and suspended accounts of the
New York Post
, the personal county of kayleigh mcenany,
White House Press
secretary, and the official trump president ial campaign account. Now, twitter says the account may be required to delete those tweets based on our policies on hacked materials and private and personal information. Senator tom cotton saws this is a double standard. The department of justice is looking carefully at antitrust lawsuits against some of these companies. All options will be on the table now that that these big tech oligarchs have declared open war on the
Republican Party
and conservatives across america. Reporter cotton now saying republicans will not stop democrats efforts to break up the big tech companies. In fact, the president saying today he wants to remove the immunity these companies enjoy. And if big tech persists in coordination with the

The text states this, quote butten i dont receive any respect, and thats fine, i guess. Works for you, apparently. I hope you all can do what i did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. Its really hard but dont worry. Unlike pop, joe biden, i wont make you give me half your salary, end quote. Well have much more on this with senator ron johnson, our upcoming text. And tomorrow
Rudy Giuliani
joins us the talk about this trail from the discovery of the laptop to the texts and email messages to where we are now with the expose by the
New York Post
. And joining us now, senator ron johnson. He is chairman of the
Senate Homeland
security and
Governmental Affairs
committee who released the report on the biden family corruption last month. Senator, its great to have you with us. There is a story that is building that is almost as large as the, what appears to be these entirely credible revelations on the laptop computer, and that is the meddling in a president ial campaign by big tech and social media in
Silicon Valley
. I want to start, of course, with the reporting by the
New York Post
of what is clearly, if true, clearly a tale of corruption on the part of the biden family. Youre investigating, and where are you now, senator, if i may ask . Hello, lou. Well, lets face it, we issued our report on september 23rd, 87 pages. The
Mainstream Media
largely ignored it. They said, well, nothing illegal here. First of all, its not my job to determine legality or illegality. Our job as congress is to do oversight, gather information, to inform
Public Opinion
but also to inform the public. And really from our standpoint we thought wed provided an awful lot of information that was quite troubling of
Hunter Bidens
, you know, trading in the biden name. 4. 2 million from burisma and ukraine, 3. 5 million from the nowdeceased former mayor of moscows wife, a vast web of connections with nationals that had connections with the
Peoples Liberation
army. But the
Mainstream Media
just yawned. We were contacted by the same whistleblower the day after we issued our report. We spoke with the whistle blower, weve been doing our
Due Diligence
trying to validate the claims. Obviously, the whistleblower also approached others, and the
New York Post
apparently satisfied themselves on the validity of these things. And i have to saw, lou, the lack of denial if biden, the fact that the only thing that hes really denying is that this meeting between the number third person in power in burisma and the
Vice President
didnt show up in his official schedule, i guess that wouldnt be particularly surprising. But i think the lack of denial in terms of the validity of these other emails, i think, speaks volumes. Lou it does. And many terms of burisma in terms of burisma, there are photographs of the
Vice President
, hunter biden with a burisma official. Again, the emails can be interpreted, i suppose,s but an even fairer interpretation is that that number three person in the burisma hierarchy was thanking hunter biden for the meeting that had, it appears to convey, already occurred. The level of money that is being talked about in these emails goes beyond anything we had really known previously. A 30 million deal with china, the private energy firm, the largest private energy firm in china. A 30 million deal that suddenly expanded for whatever reason to 10 million a year for a longer number of years its entirely unclear to me how long that agreement was for. This is very significant given this is at the same time biden was, joe biden was in the vice presidency, he was the man embracing communist china. He was at the same time tamping down any suggestion that outsourcing was a bad idea, that offshoring was a bad idea or that anyone should be concerned, dont worry your pretty heads about the geopolitical competition with china. Perhaps a competitor but certainly never a rival or potentially an enemy. Your thoughts about what were seeing here and the import and your judgment of the credibility of what were seeing here. Well, again, what we already know that weve already verified that we reveal in our report, ive stated publicly i thought that information alone made joe biden unfit to be president. He never, ever should have run for president , but he did. Again, what is now being revealed, we need to verify it, you know, we need to validate it. And i think over the next few days just new the crowd sourcing as people
Start Connecting
the dots, people that had been on the other side of some of these mail exchanges as they either confirm or deny that these are true emails, were going to get a pretty good sense. But what we already know, whats already been verified is already incredibly troubling and shows the level of conflict of interest, counterintelligence, exe torsion threats extortion threats that would be possible because of these glaring conflict of interest in the things that we already know hunter biden and his
Business Partners
and other members of the biden family engaged in. But, again, the media has just looked the other way. It amazes me. They justified all the investigations of
President Trump
because of the potential blackmail, the relationships between the trump family and other people might have. Well, we have evidence of far greater financial entanglements between the bidens and the biden family. Lou, the blackmail potential of that. I hope the
American Public
is paying attention. I hope the
Computer Repair<\/a> shops owner. In those emails hunter biden sends messages to executives of chinas largest private
Energy Provider<\/a> cfc. Those show that hunter biden struck a threeyear deal with the chinese firm for 30 million in 207. And according to the 2017.

Mainstream Media<\/a> finally starts taking a look at this and investigating it and asking some very serious questions of the
Vice President<\/a> which he needs to answer. Those should be asked tonight the at his e town hall. Lou absolutely. You say the national leftwing media is ignoring it. Senator, if i may offer a counter view, that is the leftwing
National Media<\/a> in this country, that is corporate media; comcasts nbc, at ts cnn, walt disneys abc news. They are working hand in glove of with the
Democratic Party<\/a> and the deep state, conspiring to overthrow the president of the
United States<\/a> over the course of the past four years. And for that, they all will have to account, and we thank you for being one of those leading the investigation and, hopefully, leading to justice in the resolution of it all. Senator, thanks for being with us. We appreciate everything youre doing. Senator ron johnson. The lou dobbs tonight quote of the day is from
New York Post<\/a> columnist mirandaty sign on how big tech is in the tank for joe. Make no mistake, this is election interference by unaccountable global tech oligarchs to restrict information that might damage the
Democratic Party<\/a>. It is coordinated censorship by two of the largest
Multinational Companies<\/a> in the world. Their monopoly power should be broken up once and for all. Up next, the department of justice refuses to charge anyone involved in the unmaasing of general michael flynn. His attorney, sidney powell, with us on how it seems inpossible to win justice if you are a republican. Stay she wanted a roommate to help with the cooking. But she wanted someone who loves cats. So, we got griswalda. Dinners almost ready. But one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with our renters insurance. Yeah, switching and saving was really easy drink it all up. Good could have used a little salt. Visit geico. Com and see how easy saving on renters insurance can be. Lou well, breaking news now, you may recall that senator ben sasse who occasionally can be just more than a little pompous this week was lecturing his colleagues in the senate in the
Judiciary Committee<\/a> about civics. He was calling for a civil debate, something a little more elevated than what we are witnessing each time we see the
Judiciary Committee<\/a> at work. Well, senator sasse, he didnt take his own lesson. Heres his idea of civics. In a call he had with constituents, sasse cede the president of the
United States<\/a> said the president of the
United States<\/a> has sold out our allies, said he trash talks evangelicals behind their backs and claimed
President Trump<\/a> could permanently damage the
Republican Party<\/a>. He couldnt possibly, possibly damage the
Republican Party<\/a> more than this rino excuse for a senator, let me guarantee you. He is a pompous, complete tool and a rino to boot. So good luck, nebraska, and thanks for sending him to the swamp. Hes at least in good company. Joining us tonight is sidney powell. She is defense attorney for general michael flynn. And, sidney, its great to have you with us, and i hope youve got some good news for us. Emmet sullivan has relented, he has decided to do the right thing, the d. C. Appellate court has said, you know, we cant possibly endure any more of this rampant disregard for law and speed duh justice in this country, so we want to end the 4year possessor cueing of an innocent persecution of an innocent man. Is that what happened . Not yet, lou. [laughter] its been 160 days since the government moved to dismiss the case against michael flynn. Its been 45 days since the d. C. Circuit told judge sullivan to act with appropriate dispatch if, and its been 15 or 16 days now since the, quote, hearing in his court, end quote. And we still have heard nothing from the court on our, on the governments motion to dismiss or my disqualification motion which, of course, i expect him to deny. Lou and so the farce goes on. This is, this is political theater, but its the political theater of 1960s era soviet show trials. This is preposterous, it is rank political corruption, its indecency, and it is inhumane. It is everything this country abhors and forbids in its constitution. How can this be happening to an american citizen in broad damn daylight courtesy of a corrupt federal judicial system and, specifically, one
Federal District<\/a> court judge . And the d. C. Circuit is as much at fault too, lou, because eight of the judges sent it back to him to do exactly this, ignoring the need for disqualification because he himself was a party, made himself a party, essentially, by affirmative lu seeking rehearing. Affirmatively seeking rehearing. [inaudible conversations] lou i meant to include when i said the federal judicial system, but ill be specific. The d. C. Court of appeals are a bunch of corrupt, politically corrupt rats like so many in the federal judicial system. Theyre just as bad as the politically corrupt fbi. And, by the way, i no longer refer just simply to the top of the fbi or the top of the justice department. For there not to have been someone step forward from the rank and file of the fbi to straighten out what is clearly a gross, gross violation of constitutional rights, so many, is sickening to me. And i want to get your idea of just whats going on. We look at what is, the
New York Post<\/a> is reporting, the conduct of the former
Vice President<\/a> , the conduct of his son, the rampant corruption that is ignored while they attack their political enemies. They being the fbi, the d. Of justice, the federal the department of justice, the
Federal District<\/a> courts who behave like theyre in third world countries. This is sick isenning to the
American People<\/a>. And, by the way, i think people have got a pretty good idea that the only thing standing between them, them and this rotten, toxic, corrupt political structure called a judiciary is donald trump. Your thoughts. Well, thats exactly right. And we must reelect him to give him a term in which he can really start cleaning out the swamp, because he was deproved of all that in his deprived of all that in his first term because of all the fraudulent investigations against him when they should have been prosecuting the biden family, the
Clinton Family<\/a> and everybody who was actually lining their own pockets from all these nefarious globalist deals theyve been making behind the backs of the
American Public<\/a> while theyve been selling out
American Interest<\/a> to the foreigners that have been pawing them. Paying them. Lou and what should we do, turning to, across the country to
Silicon Valley<\/a>, big tech, social media titans deciding that theyre going to decide this election, shutting down one to have countrys oldest newspapers if not the oldest functioning newspaper, one of the largest newspapers in this country . What should this president do . I mean, this is outrageous. Well, ajit pai with the fcc just put out a statement that hes going to to engage in rulemaking because theyre reading section 230 too broadly. Congress is supposed to be working on that. But, of course, theyre not making any progress. The president and the department of justice should be well, the department of justice in particular should be looking at both antitrust violations and election contributions because theyve contributed millions if not billions of dollars worth of improper
Campaign Contributions<\/a> to the
Biden Campaign<\/a> by shutting down the opposition. Lou yeah. We just reported that facebook and twitter both had topicstives move other to the biden
Transition Team<\/a> just days and weeks before deciding that they would stand up they being twitter and facebook and shut down americas right to know and a free press. Not in the hands of jack dorsey and
Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>. Sidney powell, thanks for being with us, as always. Good to see you. Up next, the

Be confident to and through retirement. Lou the lou dobbs tonight quotation of the day is from my book, the trump century, about the
Silicon Valley<\/a> executives were reporting on tonight. In the book i wrote, quote this would be of less concern if the big tech platforms were impersonal, monolithic and neutral, if they strived to be objective, passionless and nonjudgmental in hosting all comers and welcoming all matter of opinions. But they take the opposite tack. The point i was making, bug tech is partisan big tech is partisan in every way. They are antitrump, antidemocratic as they are proving now in their censorship of
New York Post<\/a> reporting,
New York Post<\/a> exposes of
Biden Corruption<\/a> and they censor the president of the
United States<\/a>, his campaign and his press secretary. That is outright unamerican, and there should be consequences because the tech titans, the social media despots are totalitarian. And totalitarianism the lou dobbs tonight word of the day. It means centralized control by an autocratic authority. And that is exactly what
Silicon Valley<\/a> has become. Joining us tonight, former congressman, former chairman of the
House Oversight<\/a> committee, jason chaffetz. Also fox business contributor. And, jason, great to have you with us. Lets start with this report, the
Biden Corruption<\/a> by the
New York Post<\/a>, which its extraordinary the depths of these, of what is the obvious corruption these emails reveal. Your thoughts about biden, joe biden and his character to be president of the
United States<\/a>. These revelations are truly stunning. I mean, your heads on a swivel because theres money flowing into the biden family from ukraine, from russia, from china. Theyre documented. This is so different than the allegations against donald trump. I remember when
Time Magazine<\/a> ran a cover story of donald trump jr. Caught red handed, ends up it was a 20minute meeting that meant nothing, they had to have a mueller investigation, two years, there was no, nothing about anything, and yet they put him on the cover of
Time Magazine<\/a>. Here you have a senate report, you have money flowing, you have email documentation, and the medias absolutely silent. But ive got to tell you, congress because the senate is in republican hands it better get their butt in gear. They should be calling in the department of justice to understand why they havent been acting on this because theyre had this information for five or six months. I think the
Foreign Relations<\/a> committee should be in action bringing in the two astronaut
Department Employees<\/a> state
Department Employees<\/a> who complained to the white house about the relationship that hunter biden had. I dont know why the senate
Foreign Relations<\/a> committee had to yank those state hasnt yanked those astronaut department yahoos up there and said what the crap going on . That could happen, and it could be done by friday if they would get their butt in gear. Lou well, its [laughter] meanwhile, theres great angst in the u. S. Senate today because of what twitter did in blocking the president , his police secretary, his campaign. Its outrageous what twitter has done. Its outrageous what zuckerberg and facebook have done. But at the same time, the outrage is you talk about going over to the state department. Why the hell isnt secretary of state pompeo grabbing these idiots by the nape of the neck and taking control . Attorney general barr is
Walking Around<\/a> like a man whos lost his map through the corridors of the department of justice. This is outrageous, its disgusting. The president says hes not happy. Well, i will describe my own mood, and i think probably many, many other americans. Weve had a belly full of im gonna, i wanna, i should have. Wed like to see somebody do some damn thing to make sure this republic doesnt collapse in a heap around these toxic, corrupt politicianings. Dont you think that would be appropriate . Yes. And, again, if the material was out there, this gentleman has the computer, he turns it over to federal bureau of investigation, but that was
Something Like<\/a> in the may time frame. So its been out there. There is no reason why senator graham or somebody else there on the
Judiciary Committee<\/a> cant bring up the fbi here we are again, director wray doing nothing and going back and understanding from attorney general barr and director wray what are they doing . Because it appears as if theyre doing nothing. And thats the role of congress. Thats the role of the senate, is to go after and make sure that these things are happening. But, again, you have the
Senate Finance<\/a> or not
Senate Finance<\/a>, but you have
Homeland Security<\/a> that could look into this, ron johnson, i think has been doing owemans work trying to get this out. Hes the hero in this type of thing. Lou absolutely. And one other point i want to point out though is i do believe that there is exposure to facebook and twitter and others from the ftc. The federal trade commission. Because i think they have been selling to the
American People<\/a> access, theyve been taking their personal information, monetizing it, creating value for their companies out of it. Jack dorsey, making him a billionaire, and theyve done so by creating a platform that is lying to its users about its exposure, its friends, the people you can forward to and the material that you can access. Thats where i think there should be some civil suits going. Lou i think youre exactly right, and i think the ftc and the department of justice should be working together right now to bust these fools up. Because ive had enough of oligarchs in america. The game is over. This is america, this is not some cheap third world, you know, joke of a country. No, sir. Were an industrialized joke of a country right now. Jason chaffetz, thanks so much. I appreciate it. Well be right back with more on the biden family corruption. Well take it up with

Dow Jones Industrials<\/a> made one heck of a comeback. They came back from a 300point decline, then rebounding because of positive ongoing covid relief stimulus talks between nancy pelosi and secretary of the treasury, steve mnuchin. And some positive earnings reports as well. Things are looking a little better. As a result, the dow lost only 19 points after being down that 300. Thats some comeback.

Well, this is clearly a smoking gun that two
Foreign Countries<\/a> bought influence with the
Vice President<\/a> of the
United States<\/a> by paying his son millions of dollars. Now, maybe joe biden doesnt remember these meetings, but did he he not wonder why his son who was basically unemployable for personal reasons suddenly became so wealthy while he was
Vice President<\/a> . Of course biden knew. Of course joe biden knew this was going on. But concerning whats going on with twitter and facebook and others, conservatives have been under fire by social media for years. You know, lou, if i do an interview you today, itll be on google for maybe a couple of hours, and then its buried. But if i did an interview on cnn, it will linger for a week. Weve been targeted for years by social media. I just think twitter and facebook, they crossed a line with their censorship of this
New York Post<\/a> article and news of this biden scandal. Lou lets be clear, so did google. Yes. Lou the social media titans, the big tech titans in this country are oligarchs. Lets not mince words here. They are running basic monopolies, they are anticompetitive, they are vicious in their hold over this country. And theyre demonstrating it at will right now against the
New York Post<\/a>, against millions of americans who want to see those reports, who need to see those reports. A fundamental right of the public in this country is the right to know whats going on. And right now the only man encouraging, supporting and standing up for the publics right to know is president donald trump. Not a single democrat has stood up, not a single democrat has said a word against twitter and
Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> and the rest of the lot who have carried out this ignorant abuse of power over the
American People<\/a>. It is and weve got, weve got senators reacting but, fred, they say, well, yeah, well talk to you tuesday. What the hell is wrong with tomorrow . Get your butt in here and understand that the government of the
United States<\/a> protects the people and its interests, not your damn interests, zuckerberg, dorsey, whomever. You know, during the
Vice President<\/a> ial debate when mike pence criticized china, the people in china couldnt see those comments. They were taken off the air. This is sort of like how cnn would not cover the
Supreme Court<\/a> nomination hearings at all. The
Supreme Court<\/a> will not mention this biden scandal, neither will any of the major networks. News people need to hear is being systematically kept from them. And do you know why . Lou the left are trying to talk other this country. Im sorry, fred, go ahead. Youre right. But i wanted to put it in nice words. The left thinks the
American People<\/a> dont deserve to know these facts. Lou he says they dont deserve to know, and trump says the public has to know. And he means that they shall. Theres another clear contrast between the two candidates, as if one needs any more. Fred, we thank you for being with us. Were going to see how this shakes out. Well be talking to you in the days straight ahead. Thanks for being with us this morning. Fred fleitz. Stay with us, were coming right back. Our
Retirement Plan<\/a> with voya gives us confidence. They help us with achievable steps along the way. So we can spend a bit today, knowing were prepared for tomorrow. Wow dad, do you think you overdid it maybe . I dont think so. What do you think, peanut . Nope honey, do you think we overdid it . Overdid what . See . We dont think so, son.
