He indicted him to protect him. Yes. The classic rubric.

He indicted him to protect him. I got it. Well, look, this whole thing's been about a cover-up. You know, you've got two serious concerns. That's why he indicted him to protect him, to cover it up? Look, you indict him on the least little thing, the gun charge and not paying taxes. He's facing like 17 additional years in prison. Yeah, but look what he's done.

Anybody else? Anybody? Finally, the gloves are off. Jake Tapper of CNN completely shredding MAGA Republican leader James Comer on live TV. MAGA Republican James Comer wakes up in the morning and mutters Hunter Biden's name over and over again. It is so completely embarrassing. I forget when Hunter Biden was the president of the United States or held a government position like Jared Kushner. He didn't.

Let me show you this next clip right here because it was an utter disaster for MAGA Republican James Comer, who sits on the oversight committee and basically spends his day not figuring out how to help the American people, but how to go after Hunter Biden. And he's got no evidence linking Hunter Biden's conduct when he was a drug addict to President Joe Biden. This whole thing is just so embarrassing to our country that the MAGA Republicans are doing this and focused on this. But it could be some therapy watching Jake Tapper conduct this interview. Play the clip. I asked for one piece of evidence or testimony that directly, incredibly connected President Biden to proven misconduct. I will. I said it. I said it. The termination

of Shokin in Ukraine, as well as his son and brother. I looked all of it saying no evidence for a long time and Hunter was innocent I mean he doesn't look to me like Hunter no no I've never said that I've never said that about Hunter I've never said that about Hunter but it's only a two hour show Chairman James Comer always good to see you I hope you enjoy your

another great clip from that interview where Jake Tapper points out and just obliterates these MAGA Republican talking points where they go, you see, Joe Biden, when he was the vice president, what he was trying to do was he was trying to fire Victor Shokin in order to help his son. First and foremost, by firing the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor, Victor Shokin, that would not have been helpful to Hunter Biden. That would have been harmful to Hunter Biden because Shokin was actually working cooperatively with Burisma.

But setting that aside, the idea to remove Victor Shokin was not like a Joe Biden as vice president thing initiated. This was across democracies abroad to remove Victor Shokin. Here, play this clip. So that's what you're saying. But the counter argument might be that it's not that he's only charging crimes that cannot be traced to President Biden.

The counter argument might be he's only charging crimes for which there is actual evidence. And that would lead me to my next question is, can you name one piece of evidence or testimony that directly and credibly, credibly connects President Biden to any of this proven misconduct? Proven. I could name two okay first of all we we believe president biden committed a quid pro quo uh when he leveraged a billion dollars of u.s taxpayer money in ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor shokin who was investigating barisma the company that hunter biden just got charged was receiving substantial sums of money and not paying taxes. We believe that Joe Biden was directly involved in the termination. We believe this, Jake, because he admitted it on tape. That's one crime. We also believe-

We'll get to the second in a second, but just for our viewers' awareness, the entire Western world wanted Shokin fired. It wasn't just President Biden. The entire Western world wanted Shokin fired. Like it wasn't just President Biden. The entire Western world, the European Union, the G8, there were a lot of people, including Republican members of the House and the Senate, who wanted Shokin fired. It wasn't just like Vice President Biden, you know, conspiring with himself. So, okay, what's the second one? This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

This is Fox. Play the clip. The House Oversight Committee has been at this for years and they have so far not been able to provide any concrete evidence that Joe Biden personally profited from his son Hunter's overseas business. But they are going to try again with

this impeachment inquiry that's set to start next week. Still, Peter, thanks very much. And by the way, I'm reminded of that interview where, remember when Brian Kilmeade of Fox called up to interview the former president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, and tried to basically have him go after President Joe Biden and basically say, you see, Biden wanted to fire Viktor Shokin when he was the vice president. And here, the former president of Ukraine goes, Viktor Shokin was a bad guy, a crazy person that democracies across the world wanted out. And again, what we're showing you here on the Midas Touch Network, I want to give you a wide variety of sources. So look, I thought Jake Tapper did great here, but let me show you Fox, Brian Kilmeade interviewing who? The former president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko. Play this clip. I had a chance to talk to Viktor Shokin, a man who says he was friends of yours, who you asked to come back and help out during the transition after the previous regime.

Here's what he said and why he was fired by you. Listen. Poroshenko fired me at the insistence of the then Vice President Biden because I was investigating Burisma. There were no complaints whatsoever, no problems with how I was performing at my job. But because pressure was repeatedly put on President Poroshenko, that is what ended up in him firing me. Is that why he got fired because of the billion dollars and the former vice president now president?

First of all, this is the completely crazy person. This is something wrong with him. Second, there is no one single word of truth. And third, I hate the idea to make any comments and to make any intervention in the American election. We have very much enjoyed the bipartisan support and please do not use the such person like Shirk falcon to undermine the trust between bipartisan support and ukraine right uh what do you mean he's not your friend i don't see him maybe four years or something at all and hate the idea to have him because he played very dirty game unfortunately okay so that is not true you didn't you he didn't get fired because of joe biden he was fired but because of his own statement

and if you do not do that next day ukrainian parliament will fire him uh with that all right mr president thanks so much. Stay safe. Best of luck along the way in this counterinsurgency. Hope you make some big progress through the rest of the fall. Thank you, sir. So in sum, what the MAGA Republicans want to be talking about today, what they want us to focus on is this graph. Hunter Biden payments to various women, because in the indictment that was unsealed in Los Angeles federal court, they go after Hunter Biden for who paid back his taxes in 2021, but they go after Hunter Biden for a lavish lifestyle while he was a drug addict and expenditures on various women. That's the graph that MAGA Republicans wake up

and obsess about. It's revealing about who they actually are and what's lurking behind their you-know-what. But here's the graphs that I want to focus on, not that graph. I want to focus on charts like this. 199,000 jobs added in November, the unemployment rate down to 3.7%. Other graphs showing jobs are up. Now, I don't want to be focused on what these MAGA Republicans are talking about. Anyway, there you have it, folks. I thought Jake Tapper did a great interview.
