| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Podforce One podcast. I'm Miranda Devine. Today we're joined by Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, |
| 0:09.0 | the IRS whistleblowers who were punished for investigating Hunter Biden's tax records. They're authors of |
| 0:16.3 | the new book, The Whistleblowers versus the Big Guy. Gary Shapley, Joe Ziegler, thank you so much for |
| 0:22.9 | joining us on Podforce One. Thank you so much for having us. Yeah, thank you, Miranda. I wanted to |
| 0:28.7 | congratulate you on your book. It's an amazing read and obviously a labor of love, the whistleblowers |

| 1:47.3 | or they made a comment. |
| 1:49.1 | You know, there's one famous email where they say 10% of the proceeds of a particular deal |
| 1:56.6 | with the Chinese company would be held by H for the big guy. How did you read that? |
| 2:04.3 | So what I guess it was multifaceted. The reason why it was important to us as a part of the |
