0:00.0	Well, my friends, we finally got the bite. We have the smoking gun everybody's been waiting for for 40 years.
0:15.3	The Biden's have immediately released their 2023 tax returns just after the tax due date yesterday and they earned six hundred and twenty thousand
0:26.5	dollars in 2023 now most of you are probably saying what's the smoking gun how does this connect to
0:35.7	criminal bribery and influence peddling and selling access to or influence to China
0:42.2	and Ukraine and whoever for tens of millions of dollars.
