Exclusive: RNC Video Details Joe Biden’s Intimate Involvement in Corrupt Family Business
The Republican National Committee on Wednesday released a video exclusively to Breitbart News detailing President Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s family business scheme.
While Joe Biden has claimed at least seven times to have no knowledge of his family’s corrupt dealings, the president has evidently played a role in the Biden family business at least 12 times over six years.
Text messages from 2019 on Hunter’s “laptop from hell” reveal the Biden family’s payout mechanism, which indicates a collection of 50 percent of familial salaries for 30 years. The mechanism could be legal “predicates” for racketeering charges, according to former Utah U.S. attorney Brett Tolman.
“I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,” Hunter texted to his daughter describing the family’s payment system. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry, unlike Pop [Joe], I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
Hunter Biden is currently under investigation by Joe Biden’s Justice Department for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws, according to the New York Times. Hunter is reportedly trying to settle the case out of court and has paid $1 million to the IRS to evade conviction or a long sentence.
According to an April Harris poll, 58 percent of Americans believe Joe Biden has played a role in his family’s business. Sixty percent say Hunter Biden, a key member of the family enterprise, has sold “influence and access” to Joe Biden. The poll also found that 67 percent believe Joe Biden should be impeached if he “secretly participated and facilitated” in the family’s business.
The RNC’s video script depicting Biden’s involvement with the family business follows:
His son, Hunter, joining the then-vice president on the official visit to Beijing. Unknown to the press back then, Hunter Biden was forming a Chinese private equity fund, planning to raise money, including from Chinese investors. Ten days after the Bidens’ trip, Shanghai authorities issued the fund’s business license.
Then-Vice President Joe Biden had dinner with his son, Hunter, along with Hunter’s business associates from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan. And the day after the dinner, a Burisma executive sent a note to Hunter, quoting, “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to D.C. and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together.”
Hunter’s lucrative business dealings often included giving as much as 50% of his earnings to his dad. The texts read, quote, “I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard, but don’t worry. Unlike Pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.”
“And Hunter introduced me as, ‘This is Tony, Dad, the individual I told you about that’s helping us with the business that we’re working on and the Chinese.'”
The email reads this way, quote, “At the moment, there’s a provisional agreement that the equity will be distributed as follows: ten held by Hunter for the big guy.”
“I a thousand percent sit here and know that the big guy is referencing Joe Biden. I met with the former vice president in person multiple times.”
A newly revealed text message shows Bobulinski was apparently warned by business partner James Gilliar, “Don’t mention Joe being involved. It’s only when you are face to face. I know you know that, but they are paranoid.”
Chinese executives admitted to reporters that they were actually introduced to the vice president by Hunter Biden.
Hunter and the then-vice president seen with a pair of Mexican billionaires. At the same time, Hunter had been working on energy deals in Mexico.
Joe Biden also had Hunter and his business partner fly on Air Force Two to Mexico.
The president agreed to pay Hunter Biden’s legal fees for his business dealings with a Chinese controlled company. Hunter’s assistant reportedly telling a pair of Biden aides, quote, “I spoke with Hunter today regarding his bills. It is my understanding that Hunter dad will cover these bills in the short term.”
There is photographic evidence of Biden on a golf outing with both his son, Hunter, and a man called Devon Archer, who was another member of the Burisma board.
We also know that Devon Archer in that picture had a meeting in the White House, a one-on-one meeting with Joe Biden about a week before they joined the Burisma board.
His closest business partner, Hunter’s, has made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations, including a sit down with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing.
“I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. Period.”

Help! The (Pretend) President's Fallen and Can't Get Up!
In as sure a sign of a disloyal White House staff as any, reports have leaked that Joe Biden is "rattled" by cratering public approval polls and is desperately "pressing aides for a more compelling message." (Remember, folks: only the fairytale "narrative" matters, not Biden's real-world dumpster fire of a presidency.) High-level staff have been leaving the White House in droves. Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain, is reportedly planning to skedaddle soon after the midterms. A massive exodus of black staffers is undermining morale. Old Joe is so "frustrated" with his advisers' regular "clean-up campaign" of his public comments that he has begun reprimanding them that it is he who is president. Meanwhile, his handlers' never-ending efforts to save their boss from his impaired brain and loose lips have given the White House's propaganda machine the appearance of a veritable "clown show."
I've been waiting for this freak-out — the moment when either a temporarily lucid Joe or his nurse-wife Jill finally comes to the realization that this administration is on a path to being remembered as the most incompetent, corrupt, or evil (or maybe all three) in American history. At some point, the Bidens' wounded pride was bound to clash with Barack Obama's maneuverings to use "ah shucks" Joe as a stalking horse for "fundamentally transforming" America into a Marxist theocracy. (When the priests of political correctness force people to betray their consciences in order to comply with the State's dogma, then you're living in a theocratic dictatorship.)
A lot of very smart, savvy people have pointed out that this has never actually been Dementia Joe's presidency. In exchange for giving him a spot to nap behind the Resolute Desk, Biden handed his administration over to the likes of Susan Rice, Elizabeth Warren, Jim Clyburn, and many of Obama's other communist comrades in arms eager to usher in their precious New World Order, where the few will rule and the many will obey. Astutely, the Marxist-socialists knew that the only way to implement their brand of totalitarianism was to put a decrepit Establishment figurehead in office to provide the appearance that the Old Guard had things under control, while the New Guard began their crackdown on free speech, freedom of movement, private property, digital privacy, self-defense, and just about anything else strictly protected from government tyranny by the Bill of Rights.
Ironically, the Democrats and the World Economic Forum oligarchs scuttled the ascendant 2020 campaign of out-and-proud communist Bernie Sanders (who nobody believed could be lifted to victory over President Trump, even with an onslaught of illegal mail-in ballots) in order to usher in a "centrist" Joe Biden who would nonetheless agree to push Bernie's despicable policies. In return for giving a crooked and corroded D.C. relic what he always craved — that Oval Office all senators covet — Joe sold any residual control over his own presidency to Obama's leftist confederates. That was the deal with the devil Biden made, and because venality has been the chief calling card of the Delaware Dimwit's half-century of squatting in federal office, he never batted an eye before selling the meager remnants of his cirrhotic soul for the chance to play "Mr. President."
The American people, for what it's worth, got hosed twice. First, they were forced to surrender their common sense and accept (through a combination of censorship, intimidation, and criminal punishment) that a man of mediocre talents and consistently low national support over the course of fifty years in the public eye had somehow won more votes than any politician in American history. Then, after having watched Biden assume office behind layers of barbed wire security fencing and a military cordon that belied his "popularity," they have been forced to endure eighteen months of unbridled Marxist authoritarianism while being told by a criminally complicit press that Joe is the face of "unity," "compassion," and "moderation."
For the most part, Americans have known they were sold a bill of goods ever since a handful of deep blue cities in battleground states found enough mail-in ballots to secure Biden's victory four days after the election, and the corporate news cartel and social media tech lords combined their malevolent monopoly forces to make it strictly verboten to question that dubious outcome. Nothing says, "Trust election integrity" like large-scale censorship campaigns, followed by a despicably unjust mass arrest of political protesters (too many of whom are still in jail today, awaiting some semblance of constitutional due process), whose questionable "crime" of trespassing on public property has been ludicrously transformed into banana republic rhetorical charges of "insurrection" and "treason." Rather predictably, as Puppet Joe's "presidency" has progressed, a solid majority of the American people have confirmed in poll after poll that they believe that "cheating" affected the 2020 election outcome. Still, one look at President Senile's face tells you that he really expected the American people to come around, accept him as legitimately elected, and champion his stewardship of the White House.
Maybe some statistically significant portion of the American people would have allowed themselves to be steamrolled by government propaganda had Joe's promises to be a "Uniter-in-Chief" been anything more than pure horsepucky, but for a guy who has ostensibly made it his mission to divide Americans more hostilely against each other, who has no compunction about using the blunt instrumentality of the federal government to punish his political enemies, and who has shown a natural tendency to rebuff calls for seeking common ground, he has made no new friends among the American electorate. Somehow, the same man who the corporate news media insist shattered vote totals in 2020 is now sitting at record-low approval ratings with the American public. You could be forgiven for thinking somebody who allegedly managed to beat Obama's 2012 vote totals by fifteen million would have an impregnable cushion capable of withstanding politically daunting challenges. Whether or not Biden's 2020 support was just another media-manufactured mirage, it's certainly gone now. Nobody anywhere sports shirts, hats, or bumper stickers claiming fidelity to his name. His vaunted record-breaking support has dried up faster than a parched man's spit in the desert.
What kind of president (installed stooge or not) could rationally expect to survive politically when everything he touches brings more pain for the American people? If Americans didn't understand how Marxist Green New Deal policies inevitably precipitate inflationary fuel and food prices, they do now. If Americans didn't understand how the Biden-McConnell Establishment axis depends on never-ending war all over the world (including reckless dalliances with nuclear-armed powers) in order to enforce a "rules-based international order" that rarely benefits ordinary Americans, D.C.'s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine has made things crystal-clear. If Americans thought the government's war on free speech would miraculously stop with "hate speech," the bureaucracy's efforts to treat dissent as "disinformation" have opened up a lot of eyes. If Americans once gave government the benefit of the doubt when infringing on the Second Amendment, Congress's efforts to treat ordinary rifles as "assault" weapons and Joe Biden's own comments suggesting he intends to follow fascist Canada's approach in strangling handgun ownership make it difficult to dispute that gun confiscation has always been the real goal.
Marxist authoritarianism is never popular policy. That's why only defenseless populations with heavily regulated speech and markets (surviving under threats of social stigmatization, job losses, "cancelation," and criminal punishment) eventually decide unanimously to support the tyrant controlling their fates. Until America descends further into that madness, however, Biden's presidency will remain fallen and unable to get back up. And from the looks of it, nobody is coming to help.
There Is No Plan
Column: The closer attention you pay to Biden, the less he has to say
President Joe Biden is "rattled," according to NBC News, and "looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign."
How? By trying to change the media narrative. On May 30, Biden published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that explained "My Plan for Fighting Inflation." The next day, Biden wrote a "guest essay" for the New York Times on "What America Will and Will Not Do in Ukraine."
Bad poll numbers and a collapsing domestic and international situation have excited the typically drowsy president into action. There’s a problem, though. The closer you read Biden’s op-eds, the less he has to say. This new, annoyed, engaged Biden may be a prolific writer and speaker. But he’s not an incisive one. He won’t admit that there is a connection between his ideology and America’s problems. He can’t decide between giving Ukraine the weapons necessary to defeat Russia or settling for a war of attrition.
Biden’s Journal op-ed is a masterclass in passing the buck. He doesn’t bring up his "plan for fighting inflation" until midway through his thousand-word piece. My inner college professor wanted to send the article back to him with suggestions for revision. Number one: Always move your best material to the top!
The plan itself is gauzy and thin. "The Federal Reserve has a primary responsibility to control inflation." You wouldn’t know that from listening to Progressives, including some of Biden’s nominees to the Federal Reserve, who argue that the Fed’s interest in price stability distracts it from promoting full employment, green energy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now Biden wants the Fed to correct not only its mistakes, but his own. Let’s see if his faith in an independent central bank can stand the test of higher interest rates, higher unemployment, and lower incomes.
Parts two and three of Biden’s inflation plan are the remnants of his Build Back Better agenda: some clean energy and housing subsidies here, a few tax hikes there. He mentions his use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gas prices, but not his appeals to Venezuela and OPEC to boost the oil supply. As for the obvious answers to America’s energy problems—a complete reversal of Biden’s hostility to oil and gas exploration and production, huge investments in nuclear power, and emergency efforts to increase refinery capacity—Biden has no words. His devotion to the environmental lobby and to green energy blinds him. If the Progressive Left rejects nuclear power, the "clean energy future" it desires won’t arrive.
This mismatch between ends and means is visible in Biden’s Ukraine policy. The president tells New York Times readers that the United States sends Ukraine weapons "so it can fight on the battlefield and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table." The desired end state is "a democratic, independent, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression." And Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is in the driver’s seat. "I will not pressure the Ukrainian government—in private or public—to make any territorial concessions."
All good. Why, then, limit the weapons deliveries to systems with ranges of 40 miles? Why slow-walk and agonize over each tranche of support? Why engage with Russia in farcical and dangerous negotiations over Iran’s nuclear weapons? Why not take a more active role in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia? The Biden policy is static even as the shape of the war changes in ways that favor the aggressor. The president’s goals are laudable. But his tactics are calibrated for a war that Ukraine is winning.
And Ukraine is not winning. At least not now. The Ukrainians defeated Russia’s attempt at regime change. But they have been less successful in removing Russia from eastern Ukraine and from their port cities in the south and southeast. Absent a change in Biden administration policy—in the ranges of weapons systems America provides Ukraine, in the establishment of a humanitarian corridor to relieve the Russian blockade of Ukrainian Black Sea ports, or in a major diplomatic effort—the war will turn into a frozen conflict with no clear resolution and with mounting humanitarian costs. How that situation would help anyone, including Biden, is unclear.
Then again, little Biden says or does makes sense from the vantage point of either policy or politics. He’s right to be rattled. He’s also clueless.
Biden’s Pitch to Voters: You’re Wrong About the Economy, Stupid
Democrats unveil plan to solve inflation by 'highlighting the remarkable progress we've made'
President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party finally have a plan to get inflation under control and address the economic anxiety felt by millions of Americans. It's not a plan in the conventional sense, but rather a public relations campaign to convince the American people that "despite their current misgivings, the economy is actually doing quite well."
Inflation is soaring and gas prices are through the roof, but Americans are wrong to be concerned about the direction of the country, the president and his allies will argue this month. Politico reports that Biden has assembled a team of experts and professional communicators to make the case that, actually, the economy is good. The White House effort to "communicate on our accomplishments" kicked off on Monday with a Wall Street Journal op-ed in which Biden touted his stewardship of "the most robust recovery in modern history" and cited a bunch of macroeconomic statistics to make his case.
Polling shows that the vast majority of Americans don't think Biden is doing a good job handling the economy. These Americans are wrong, Biden argued in his op-ed. "According to the International Monetary Fund, the U.S. economy will be larger at the end of this year—relative to its prepandemic size—than any other Group of 7 economy," he wrote. Maybe that will convince them. In case the op-ed wasn't compelling enough to change hearts and minds, Biden will deliver remarks in response to the May jobs report on Friday that will highlight "the remarkable progress we've made."
The dubious public relations campaign is in keeping with the Democratic Party's longstanding belief that all of their electoral problems could be solved by simply explaining to skeptical voters that they have no good reason to be skeptical. It is also indicative of a White House in disarray. Biden is reportedly furious at his subordinates for failing to come up with a winning message ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, and White House chief of staff Ron Klain is rumored to be on the chopping block. Anita Dunn, a longtime Biden aide who once provided "damage control advice" to disgraced Hollywood rapist Harvey Weinstein, could take his place after the midterms.
FUK BRANDON!
White House Denies Biden’s Policies Are Causing Inflation
(CNSNews.com) - White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied Tuesday that President Biden’s policies are causing inflation, instead continuing to blame the high price of gas on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war with Ukraine.
“In some place in this country now, a gallon of gas costs more than people on the federal minimum wage are making in an hour. What does the White House want these people to do just stop driving to work?” Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked.
JEAN-PIERRE: The president understands what it feels like. Deese just spoke about this. Brian Deese was just here and talked about how he understands what it means for people who are sitting at their kitchen table and see gas prices go up. He understands that feeling personally or seeing prices of grocery store– of groceries go up in the grocery store.
This is something that he is inherently aware of, and he is doing everything that he can as Deese - Brian Deese was just here - his economic adviser, one of his top economic adviser, laying out what he is planning to do or continuing to do to make sure that we lower costs at the gas pump.
He also said, Brian also said that we are dealing with an unprecedented time with global challenges that we have never seen before, and that includes, clearly, the pandemic.
That includes Putin’s tax hike that we’re seeing this past couple of months that has had an effect on gasoline prices - a dollar and 50 cents went up since Putin has amassed his troops on the border of Ukraine. These are real global issues that has led to this moment, but the president is doing everything that he can to make sure that we address this issue.
DOOCY: You just mentioned Putin a few times as a reason for recent inflation. Do you guys think that any part of inflation this year is because of President Biden’s spending plans or is it all Putin’s fault?
JEAN-PIERRE: What I can say is we are - and Brian just spoke to this - we are at a historic place when it comes to the economy, when it comes to unemployment being at the lowest that we’ve seen in some time, when it comes to the president creating more jobs in his first term, his first year, than any other president - more than 8.5 million jobs.
Now we’re going to a place where we’re going into transition, where we’re going to see an economy that’s more stable, that’s more steady. So that’s because of the American Rescue Plan that the president signed into law that no Republican signed– voted for, I should say, and all of that work in his first year has led us to a place where there are more jobs out there - more jobs are being created - that we are in a place where we’re seeing economic growth.
Now - and also, as I’ve stated, this is an unprecedented time with COVID. This is an unprecedented time with the war, and so that Putin has created and started on Ukraine, and so we have seen, data has shown us since these past couple of months, since the war, we have seen an uptick in gas prices.
DOOCY: So I guess the nice question would be does President Biden take any responsibility for his policies potentially contributing to inflation?
JEAN-PIERRE: His policies has helped the economy get back on its feet. That’s what his policies has done. This– when we talk about the gas prices right now, this indeed Putin’s gas hike. This is what we have seen in the most recent months of what we’ve seen at the gas pump, and so that is a fact.
We’ve seen about 60 percent increase in the past several months because of the amassing and his invasion of Ukraine, and so the president– his goal right now, and what he is frustrated about is what the American people have to go through and what they are trying to deal with as they are around their kitchen table. So that is his focus right now.
Report: Joe Biden Blames Aides for 40-Year-High Inflation
President Joe Biden reportedly blamed his staff for 40-year-high inflation, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.
As Bidenflation will cost American households on average an extra $5,200 in 2022, or $433 per month, according to Bloomberg, Biden has reportedly become unhappy rising prices are hurting his political position.
Instead of taking responsibility for the price hikes, Biden has reportedly shifted the blame to aides for not confronting the spike in costs partly generated by his own fiscal and energy policies.
“Biden has privately grumbled to top White House officials over the administration’s handling of inflation, expressing frustration over the past several months that aides were not doing enough to confront the problem directly,” the Post reported.
This week, instead of altering fiscal and energy policies, the White House decided to mount a public relations blitz to bunt inflation’s political damage on the Democrat Party.
As a part of the PR campaign, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday directly admitted during a press interview that she and the president had failed to accurately assess that inflation would clime to a 40-year-high. The White House claimed in 2021 that inflation was “transitory.”
“Well, look, I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take. As I mentioned, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that I didn’t — at the time didn’t fully understand,” Yellen acknowledged. “But we recognize that now.”

Biden Fumes at White House Staff Amid Abysmal Poll Numbers
President Joe Biden may be considering a shakeup of the White House staff as his approval rating has fallen to record lows and the administration has failed to win the public's confidence on its handling of a number of crises, NBC News reported Tuesday.
Biden has faulted his staff for their inability to come up with a winning message ahead of the midterms, sources close to the White House told NBC News. He's also accused staff of undermining him by walking back his statements immediately after he makes them. The White House has consistently had to clarify Biden's remarks; on three occasions staff walked back the president's commitment to come to Taiwan's defense against a Chinese invasion.
Biden has also reportedly complained about being ill-prepared to address the crises that have eroded his popularity. He is "annoyed that he wasn’t alerted sooner about the baby formula shortage and that he got his first briefing in the past month, even though the crisis had long been in the making," according to NBC News.
The administration's challenges, including record inflation, supply shortages, legislative gridlock, and foreign policy failures, have helped bring the president's approval rating on par with his predecessor, a fact that one source told NBC News has Biden "really twisted."
According to the report, sources speculate that Biden may overhaul the White House staff, though such a shakeup would not be immediate. The most likely White House official to depart, according to NBC News, is Chief of Staff Ron Klain, whom several sources said is slated to leave after the midterms.
The White House pushed back against NBC News's report, telling the outlet Biden is not frustrated with his staff but is pushing "to make a sharper case for all that we have accomplished thus far."
Damage Control: Harvey Weinstein Adviser in Line To Become White House Chief of Staff
Post-midterm shakeup likely as Biden's presidency flounders
Anita Dunn, the senior Biden aide best known for providing "damage control" advice to disgraced Hollywood rapist Harvey Weinstein, is in line to take over as White House chief of staff after the midterm elections, NBC News reports.
Dunn is widely considered to be a "potential successor" to Ron Klain, the current White House chief of staff who several people close to Biden told NBC News was planning to "depart at some point after the midterms." A longtime public relations guru whose firm, SKDK, has represented an array of corporate clients seeking relief from the anti-business policies Democrats routinely enact when they hold power, Dunn played a leading role in Biden's presidential campaign and served several months as White House communications adviser.
Earlier this year, Dunn secretly rejoined the White House as a "special government employee" to help Biden prepare for his State of the Union address and overhaul the administration's bumbling response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The move raised concern among ethics experts, who noted that the temporary nature of the assignment exempted Dunn from most White House ethics requirements. For example, she did not have to file a public financial disclosure that would have revealed information about her SKDK clients and how much they were paying for her strategic advice.
"This is a person who is appointed in and out of alternating roles, between being a public official with significant influence over administration policy and a private adviser, creating the appearance of being an influence peddler," Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, told the Washington Post in March.
At the time Dunn was one of at least nine former SKDK employees working in the Biden administration. Now she is one of at least nine of the firm's existing employees who previously served in the federal government. During the 2020 campaign, Biden promised to restore decency to the White House and put an end to the self-dealing and lobbyist influence that, in his view, ran rampant during the Donald Trump administration.
If Dunn ultimately does end up replacing Klain as White House chief of staff, the ethics experts will continue to express concern, but the administration is unlikely to care. NBC News writes that Biden views his former adviser as a "confidant whom he often turns to when his fortunes look bleak." And his fortunes certainly look bleak. Another person mentioned as a possible successor to Klain was Steve Ricchetti. The longtime Biden adviser is the brother of Jeff Ricchetti, an influential lobbyist whose firm, Ricchetti Inc., has experienced an influx of business since Biden took office. Imagine that!
Dunn's reputation as the Democratic Party's foremost crisis communications expert is presumably what prompted Weinstein to contact her for "damage control advice" in 2017 as the New York Times was preparing to publish a story exposing his history of sexual misconduct. According to a statement released by her firm, Dunn had been "asked to speak with [Weinstein] by a friend," and was not paid for her advice. She was presumably familiar with Weinstein, who had donated nearly $600,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since the early 2000s.
In addition to advising the Hollywood rapist, Dunn is best known for expressing admiration for the political philosophy of Mao Zedong, the founder of Chinese communism whose brutal regime was responsible for the deaths of at least 65 million people.
