Today's show, I'm going to prove to you again something I put

out there, that Joe Biden is a foreign agent. I'm going to play for you and phone call of Joe Biden and the president of Ukraine. Oh, Zelensky? No, no. The guy before Zelensky? No, no. The guy before Zelensky that I promised you is going to blow your cerebral cortex apart. You'll see what I'm talking about now.

I'll tie the whole thing together for you. So let's start here. So the Penn Biden Center, which is the Biden think tank, well, shockingly, and I use that term kind of hilariously, tragically hilariously. Shockingly, the Biden administration is lying at what went down at the Penn Biden Center. The Penn Biden Center is a think tank for Joe Biden. I know, please hold your laughter. We joke has been already beaten to death, but it's a Biden think tank. And we were told that, gosh, a couple of lawyers were rummaging around during a move at the Penn Biden Center. And they found some classified documents. Well, golly.

Wow. Look at that. And they turned them right over and contacted the DOJ. Then we learned that that story wasn't exactly true, Joseph, that they didn't contact the DOJ. In fact, they contacted the National Archives trying to make this thing go away. Then the National Archives, yeah, yeah, yeah, realizing Houston, we got a problem because we just tried to nail Donald Trump about this.

They contacted the DOJ and then the White House worked with the DOJ to try to make this thing go away. So the initial story we were told was not exactly correct. And now we learn the great Banshee at red state, January 31st, 2023 bombshell that the FBI,

in fact, search the Penn Biden center in November and the white house misled the public shocking, stunning Joe Biden and his white house team are lying. My gosh. Well, golly, isn't that crazy? Well, what is Joe Biden hiding at lying. My gosh. Well, golly, isn't that crazy?

Well, what is Joe Biden hiding at the Penn Biden Center? Joe Biden is a foreign agent. In the biggest political scandal of our time, the president of the United States is in fact a foreign agent. Now, remember Michael Carpenter? Michael Carpenter, as you can see from the Penn Biden Center website themselves, if you're watching us on Rumble, there's this photo of Michael. Michael is the senior director at the Penn Biden Center. The senior director at the

Penn Biden Center, where they were illegally holding classified documents, potentially. were illegally holding classified documents potentially. Well, what does Michael Carpenter know about it? Well, you think the media would be knocking down his door, asking questions of Michael Carpenter. Hey, do you know about these documents? What was in the documents? What do you know about the documents? Are those documents, by the way, as I've insisted to you over the past two weeks, this

scandal explodes? There's a new angle on this, by the way. I'm not just like relitigating an old show for the sake of it. It involves yesterday's show. I just didn't want to hit you with it all at once. Are these documents evidence that Biden Inc., Biden and his family and his entire corrupt organization was paid off?

That Joe Biden and his operation were paid off to influence international politics in the United States, making Joe Biden a foreign agent? I will bet you those documents are evidence of that. And what does our friend Michael Carpenter know about that? Now, does CNN know what I know in the left-wing media? Now, I don't know. I don't work at CNN. I did a lot of hits over there, but I'm exclusive to Fox. Haven't been on CNN in, gosh, probably close to 10 years. But I'm beginning to believe that the media is getting wind through some of the same sources and back channels that are feeding conservatives information that Joe Biden is in real trouble here.

I think they know, and I think they are throwing him under the bus right now because they need to get rid of him because they know this is going to become public in a presidential election and be destructive for the for the entire liberal movement. Remember, they got to save liberalism first. Here's what I mean. Here's CNN yesterday with Kate Benningfield, a administration spokes liar, and they're basically hammering her about this transparency thing, how they keep lying, how the story about how these documents were found, as I just laid out to you, keeps changing. Why not just tell us all the truth? Why would CNN be doing this? The answer is because Biden is a wounded duck right now and they know it. This scandal and what I'm about to lay out, everybody knows it. They're just not telling you. You're going to hear it here first. Now it all makes sense. Here, check this out. You're claiming transparency, but I'm bringing this to you.

You aren't bringing it to me. This happened in mid-November. If you are indeed being transparent, why the continued trickle of disclosure around these classified documents? We have released multiple statements from the White House and President Biden's personal attorney has released multiple statements over the last month, and President Biden's personal attorney has released multiple statements over the last month, walking through the process and agreeing to be fully, fully cooperative with the Justice Department. This is a process that plays out. We are responsive to the Justice Department's requests. We have been clear from the outset that the president will cooperate with every request the Justice Department has. And we put out multiple statements. Yeah, you have put out multiple statements. They've all been false. I mean, I can put out multiple statements. Yeah, you have put out multiple statements. And they've all been false. Right. I mean, I can put out multiple statements, too.

Joe, I set a powerlifting record last night for deadlifting. Oh, yeah. Also, I'll be starting. I'll be starting for the Yankees this season. Game while you opener. I will be on the mound pitching. I can put out multiple statements like that. None of those are actually true. Yeah. Joe. Joe's like, wow, that's cool. You hadn't told me. It's so weird. Joe's like, really, are we going to You hadn't told me. It's so weird. Joe's like, really? Are we going to do the podcast? Because I really like doing this. So it's strange, really odd how I can put out statements too,

but none of them are actually true. So now it all makes sense, folks. The Biden team, Hunter Biden, Biden Inc., the entire corrupt Biden family, with Biden as the, quote, chairman, as the business partner said of Biden Inc. He's a foreign agent and the money trail, if you follow the money, will show you Biden's a foreign agent.

Now, does it make sense? This story in Breitbart, Treasury withholds Biden family suspicious bank records. Republicans in the House are threatening a subpoena. Why are they threatening a subpoena? When you have any suspicious activity in a bank, structuring money, suspicious deposits, the bank is obligated by law to fill out what they call a SAR, suspicious activity report. According to CBS News of all people, Catherine Herridge, one of the few actual reporters in the left-wing media, uncovered that there are 150 suspicious activity reports, indicating suspicious money

flowing into accounts controlled by this Biden operation. Why is the U.S. Treasury hiding those? Does it involve Burisma, the Ukrainian company that hired Hunter Biden and some payments? And were those payments routed through a Ukrainian bank,

pay close attention here, called Privat Bank? Now, for those of you who think we're some Johnny-come-lately to this story, I was at CPAC, I think, three years ago. Matter of fact, Joe was there. Joe, do you remember when we got into that altercation with the CNN guy? Who was it? Was it Shmurkanish? I don't remember who. Do you remember that? And do you remember what he was trying to claim that this was all some big conspiracy theory? I think it remember who. Do you remember that? Yeah. And do you remember when he was trying to claim that this was all some big conspiracy theory?

I think it was him. And I said to him, keep your eyes on Privat Bank. Someone's probably got it on video somewhere. So I, again, this time we were two or three years ahead of this story. The Privat Bank, the Ukrainian bank, is going to be the key to Joe Biden being a foreign agent. Now let's lay this out for you because this is where this is going to grow hair.

Remember this. I'm going to play it again. This is probably the 10th time, but it's always a different angle to this unbelievably telling video. Biden's speaking on a panel about United States foreign relations when he was vice president. He's talking about him being the point man for the Obama administration when he was the vice president in Ukraine. He's discussing a financial package from the United States to Ukraine. And Biden says clearly that he told the Ukrainians he was going to hold the money up unless they fired a prosecutor. You've seen it before, but I want you to pay very close attention again to the end where he cites someone on stage with him. There's three people on stage.

He says, oh, Michael knows. Michael? You mean like Michael Carpenter, the senior director of the Penn Biden Center, where they had the classified documents the FBI searched? He was on stage? Listen to this again. And I want to tell you who the prosecutor was, what he was investigating, Privat Bank, and why Michael may be knee deep in all of this. Take a listen. I was supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.

supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't. So they said they had, they were walking out to the press conference, said, no, I said, I'm not going to, we're not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You're not the president. The president said, I said, call him. I said, I'm telling you, You're not the president. The president said, I said, call him. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're not getting a billion. I'm going to be leaving here. I think it was, what, six hours. I look, I said, I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

fired and they put in place someone who was solid at the time well there's still they so they made some genuine substantial changes institutionally and with people but one of the three institutions there's now some backsliding the courts there and yes and they had made that commitment that they wouldn't do that. And so when we left, the first thing I spent a lot of time, as did Mike, because this was his territory, as did Mike, because this was his territory as well. And people like Charlie Kupchan and Victoria. So, Mike, this was his territory. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Michael Carpenter. The same guy who was the senior director of the Penn Biden center, the FBI search for classified documents,

allegedly about Ukraine. What does Mike know? Now Biden says he spoke to Poroshenko, who was the Ukrainian president before. Voldemir Zelensky, a man everybody knows now because of the ongoing war in Ukraine. And he told Poroshenko to fire a prosecutor? Michael knows?

You know what he doesn't tell you in that clip, Joe Biden? That that prosecutor, Shokin, was investigating his son's dealings, Hunter Biden, with a Ukrainian natural gas company. And what he doesn't tell you as well is that Ukrainian prosecutor was also investigating a bank called Privat Bank. Oh, here's where this gets good. Now, I have a newsletter. here's where this gets good. Now, I have a newsletter. Sign up if you wish. If you don't, it's up to you.

But it's bongino.com slash newsletter. And there's an article by Fred Lucas from back in March of 2021. It's in the newsletter today. I can't recommend to you in any stronger use of the English language that you read through every piece of it. Because whether Fred knows it or not, back then he blew the doors off a scandal right now. And he's blowing the doors off the Wendell Hughesbo story at Breitbart as to why the Biden team and the Treasury are hiding suspicious

activity reports from bank deposits to Biden Inc. Where did those bank deposits come from? Where did those bank deposits come from? What if I told you a lot of them came from Privat Bank? Being investigated, along with Joe Biden's son, by the prosecutor he demanded fired on tape. And you know, Michael knows at the Penn Biden Center. It's his area. Let's go through this piece. Shall we at the Daily Signal now?

You know my rule with screenshots from pieces. I don't like to read the whole thing. One screenshot, good piece. Two, amazing. Three, fantastic. When you have six, I've got something to tell you. And so does Fred at the daily signal. Oh yeah. The piece is called how Hunter Biden's interest overlapped with a banned Ukrainian oligarch. The oligarch they're talking about is a guy by the name of Igor Kolomoisky. Now let's walk through, let's talk about PrivatBank and Kolomoisky. So according to Fred Lucas and this piece, Kolomoisky, whom the Biden administration banned from the United States, really? Probably trying to prevent Kolomoisky from talking here, maybe to congressional investigators.

I'm just going to throw that out there. Don't come here. Hey, note, Igor Kolomoisky is a Ukrainian billionaire known for hardball actions against competing companies. He's also a former government official in Ukraine, and he used to be an owner of one of the nation's largest financial institutions. Oh, my gosh, Privat Bank. The same bank the prosecutor Joe Biden wanted fired was investigating. Again, I'm sure this is just a total coincidence here.

Here's probably another, oh look, odd coincidence in the Fred Lucas piece. He calls them connections at a glance. Here's among the indirect connections between Kolomoisky and Hunter Biden. Oh, really? Kolomoisky had a controlling interest in Burisma Holdings? Burisma Holdings? Kolomoisky had an interest in that? Burisma Holdings? And he also had interest in Privat Bank being investigated by Shokin? What was Burisma Holdings again? It was a company who was paying $83,000 a month to Hunter biden son of joe biden while he's the point man in ukraine demanding the prosecutor investigating burisma and privot by kolomowski

where he has a controlling interest and is an owner gets fired burisma employed hunter biden fred lucas notes as a board member for a widely reported salary of $50,000 a month. Sorry. Russian media quoted in State Department emails referred to Burisma as part of Kolomoisky's financial empire. Hmm. Isn't that fascinating? So let's just go back to that Privat Bank thing for a second, too, because now it's pretty clear, according to the reporting, that this guy Kolomoisky, again, follow the money, folks, is a significant owner of both Privat Bank

and a controlling interest in Burismo, hired Hunter Biden. And they're conveniently both under investigation by a prosecutor. Joe Biden wants fire. Gee, why would that be? Maybe again, because Kolomowski used to be an owner of one of the licensed largest financial institutions, Privat Bank. That's where the story gets just bananas.

Cue up the next screenshot from this piece. Check this out. So next screenshot, please. Emails. What if I told you that, you never hear that song hear that song, how bizarre, how bizarre is this? There appears to be a payments and email trail from Kolomoisky linking back to Hunter Biden, a payment trail. You mean some of it that may have been documented by suspicious activity reports that the U.S. Treasury under Biden is trying to hide right now. It's like they don't want you to follow the money, because if you follow the money,

the assertion I've made repeatedly over the past two and a half weeks that Joe Biden's a foreign agent would just kick you right in the nuts. According to Fred Lucas, there are emails from 2015 published by the New York Post, by the way, that show a Kolomoisky protege communicating with Hunter Biden about a meeting between the protege and Joe Biden, then vice president under President Barack Obama. So there's an email trail linking a Kolomoisky protege with Hunter Biden about meeting with Joe Biden while he was vice president. While Hunter Biden's getting anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 a month from a Ukrainian company, the Ukrainians are investigating for corruption under a prosecutor Joe wanted fired on tape. It's better. Go back. Go back, please. Don't get ahead of me. You got to stay on the ball here. More in a minute.

Court filings from 2019 by a private investigatory firm allege that legally obtained bank records of Hunter Biden show payments to him From the Kolomoisky-owned Privat Bank My gosh, what? What, Joe? Maybe you'd see those in suspicious activity reports the Treasury's hiding Privat Bank owned by Kolomoisky

Being investigated by a prosecutor Joe Biden once fired. They showed up in court filings. It's quite bizarre, Dan. It's quite bizarre. It is, isn't it? And sophisticated Thurston Howell like Joe comes out to indicate this is way too complicated for us minions to understand. Gosh, this is so strange how there's an email and payment trail. And yet you haven't heard about it just about anywhere else but this show.

It's only a case, PrivatBank, I've been making for the last three years. Oh, this gets better. This gets a lot better. What if I told you that there's a fixer for Kolomowski and that they were talking frequently about a meeting with Joe Biden himself as son Hunter was being paid. As I said, is Joe Biden a foreign agent? They note separate emails published in the Post in October indicate that Hunter Biden introduced or wanted to introduce his father, that's Joe Biden for the liberals listening, to the number three official, Vadim Pazarsky,

whom the newspaper identified as a fixer for Kolomoisky. Kolomoisky's fixer? I'm going to introduce him to Joe Biden? An email from Pazarsky to the younger Biden in April 2015 said, Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to D.C. and giving me an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together. It's really an honor and pleasure.

The talk of a meeting between Joe Biden and Pazarski occurred before Biden, as vice president, pressured Ukrainian officials with the loss of a $1 billion U.S. loan if they didn't fire a chief prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, where Kolomoisky had an interest for corruption. Big fan of Zelensky and the whole Ukraine thing, too. Can you tie that in a second? Why everybody's so eager to jump into Zelensky's corner and make everything go away. You want the Trump impeachment call with Zelensky to all make sense for you now? Oh, don't go anywhere. We're getting into crazy pills territory here where you would never believe this. You'd never believe this if it was written into a movie plot that the

corruption could be sitting right in front of your face and the media would ignore the biggest political scandal of all time. Joe Biden's kid is being paid off by a company where this guy Kolomoisky, this billionaire in Ukraine, has an interest. Kolomoisky also has a big financial interest in a bank that's sending payments to Biden Inc. They're trying to keep Kolomoisky out of the United States so nobody can talk to him. While a prosecutor investigating Kolomoisky in Ukraine, Shokin, Biden's on tape demanding he get fired in a protection operation for Kolomoisky and Privat Bank sending his son payments, operation for Kolomoisky and PrivatBank sending his son payments while they hide the record likely of the payments in the suspicious activity reports using our treasury to do it. Here's where it gets really crazy. Fred Lucas. Kolomoisky was a supporter of Ukrainian president

Volodymyr Zelensky and owned the TV network where Zelensky previously was a comedian and an entertainer. But he's so eager to. And let me be clear, Vladimir Putin is a total thug. When he's doing it as citizens of Ukraine, it's unforgivable. Say that as a human being. Having said that, us just blindly getting involved with Zelensky and others, while not asking questions about our previous relationships there and potential corruption in the Ukrainian piggy bank, which I wrote about in my book, it's literally the first chapter called Insane in Ukraine and Follow the Money. While ignoring all this is just straight up asinine. Ukraine has been corrupt for a long time.

Kolomoisky is Biden's guy. They've been covering up for him for years. They're not sanctioning him because they don't like him. They're sanctioning him to keep him out of the United States and to keep the financial records and the SARS likely from Privat Bank to Biden Inc. off the public record. Why is nobody talking about this? And Kolomoisky's buddy, buddy with Zelensky actually owned the company he worked for before. Now, does the Trump impeachment make sense? Who was Trump on the phone with? With the call where there was an alleged quid pro quo.

We're not going to give you weapons unless you give me Hunter Biden information. That was the allegation, right? Who was he on the call with? Zelensky. You thinking what I'm thinking? Was Trump set up? Hell yeah, he was. Now I want to know what Zelensky knew about it.

Trump starts asking questions about this whole corrupt relationship. Biden, Inc. getting money from this bank and this Ukrainian billionaire. Dumping a prosecutor looking into him. Trump starts asking questions about it. And all of a sudden, the record of the phone call gets exposed from a fake whistleblower who worked for Joe Biden on the Ukraine portfolio. Media piles right on. Turns out the call was with Zelensky. Oh, who, by the way, knows the guy very well. They're protecting Kolomoisky.

Now we're getting into super crazy pills next. I want you to listen to this. It's a phone call you probably haven't heard before. This is a recorded phone call from Joe Biden and the president of Ukraine before Zelensky, Poroshenko. Poroshenko's team is alleged to have recorded this themselves. Who leaked it? I don't know. There's been a number of theories on that It's a recorded call with Biden You haven't heard about it, right? Here Biden's on the phone with Poroshenko

Poroshenko, the same guy in the video before About, well, son of a bitch, we fired the prosecutor That recorded thing he said about firing the prosecutor He's telling you about a conversation he had with Poroshenko I want you to listen to this Listen, the audio audio is not great. It's not Joe's fault. It's a recorded phone call. And Poroshenko has a really thick accent here. But here, Biden's on the phone with Poroshenko. And you know what's really strange? If you listen closely towards the end, there's about a minute and 37 seconds. There's more of it, but it goes on to

other stuff. He talks about an IMF loan, more money headed to Ukraine. Gosh, that could be in jeopardy here. Kind of like he said, fire the prosecutor or else in the last one. And he mentioned specifically that it's probably a good idea you guys close down that bank, Privat Bank, owned by Kolomoisky, who is sending money to Biden Inc. Let me ask you one thing before I forget. Privat Bank. I understand the governor of the bank is tentative about setting a date certain for the transition to take place. And I'm being told secondhand that I don't know this is her position for sure, that she is unsure of a date until she gets an agreement from you.

I told, here's what I've told them. I've told them to get back to her and set a date, and I will talk to you about the date. Because this is getting very, very close. What I don't want to have happen, I don't want Trump to get in the position where he thinks he's about to buy onto a policy where the financial system is going to collapse and he's going to be looked to to pour more money into Ukraine. That's how he'll think about it before he gets sophisticated enough to know the detail. So anything you can do to push the Privat Bank to closure so that the IMF loan comes forward, I would respectfully suggest is critically important

to your economic as well as physical security. I know it's difficult, I know Kolomorsky's a pain in the ass and a problem for everybody. But but it really is critical. Haven't heard that before, have you? Biden's on a call with the Ukrainian president. Saying he's really worried that Trump may do something with the money over there before he, quote, knows the details. And that, yeah, you should really close that Privat Bank, you know.

Be a real shame if you lost that IMF, International Monetary Fund loan, too. By the way, it could be a threat to your physical and financial security. Gosh, it's weird. Joe Biden's a foreign agent. It's crystal clear.
