4:05Now PlayingRepublicans in the House had yet another witness testify that President Joe Biden was NOT involved in any way in any of his son's business deals, a statement that blows yet another hole in their efforts to impeach him. The Republican Party has consistently come up short with their impeachment effort to the point that even Republicans in the Senate are telling their House counterparts that this whole thing is a waste of time because they have no evidence of anything. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republicans in the House of Representatives have benefited recently from the fact that there's a lot of things going on right now. You know, the Eugene Carroll trial and verdict, the, uh, New York Fraud Trial with Donald Trump, the primary, the caucus, uh, you know, the impeachment of Mayor Orca that has largely kind of flown under the radar. It's a big deal 'cause the guy's not broken any laws. But Republicans are enjoying all of these distractions that are happening because they're making the public not pay attention to the fact that the Joe Biden impeachment and by extension, the Hunter Biden investigation in the house has basically completely fallen apart. See, recently the House, uh, oversight committee had to release more transcripts of interviews with witnesses that they've conducted behind closed doors. And, uh, they recently released one a couple days ago from a man by the name of Rob Walker.
Now, Mr. Walker was in fact a business associate of Hunter Biden and during his closed door testimony, 'cause God forbid the public actually get to see what's happening, uh, but during his closed door testimony, Mr. Walker said this about President Biden's involvement with Hunter Biden's business deals. To be clear, president Biden, while in office or as a private citizen, was never involved in any of the business activities. We pursued. Any statement to the contrary, Mr. Walker said is simply false. Hunter made sure there was always a clear boundary between any business and his father. Based on what has transpired through this inquiry to date, I'm very concerned that what I say here today may be taken outta context to further a political objective rather than discover the truth Mr. Walker added. So once again, as has happened, every single time Republicans have pulled in a witness to testify, they said President Biden was not ever involved in any of this.
And to say otherwise is an absolute lie to the American public and of course to yourselves. So their whole let's get Biden for his son's business deals has fallen apart. It's fallen apart since day one. The very first time they had these alleged whistleblowers come in. Only for us to find out a short time later that these people aren't actually whistleblowers. They were removed from their jobs for not doing their jobs, but even they couldn't tie President Biden into any criminal activity. Hell, so far, they haven't even tied Hunter Biden into any criminal activity other than the not paying the taxes thing and the gun. But none of this has yielded anything for the Republican party to actually champion and highlight. They've attempted to, but hell, we're at the point where even Fox
News has called these idiots out for not having anything. You got republicans in the Senate speaking out this week saying that impeaching President Biden, and of course impeaching Mayor Orcas is the dumbest thing ever. There's no evidence of any criminal activity. What are y'all doing? Your torpedoing? Our party, they say during an election year for what? This isn't gonna help us. It's going to hurt us. So because of that, I always say, let 'em do it. Let 'em continue. These idiots see that there is a cliff up ahead, and rather than slamming on the brakes of the crazy train, they're going full steam ahead. Let's go off that cliff. Maybe we'll have a soft landing that never works, but let's just let these idiots do it because they're the ones who are gonna pay the consequences for it.
