The Biden administration is taking heat for giving Iran access to $6 billion in return for the release of hostages just a month before Hamas (which Iran supports) attacked Israel. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Glenn reads a story from The Federalist exposing how "the money trail with Iran is WORSE than you think." Iran also has access to billions from other countries while U.S. officials have quietly acknowledged that they're allowing Iran to export more oil to China. In the end, Iran has access to about $50 billion, the article argues, not $6 billion. And that's not all that the Biden administration has allowed ...

GLENN: There is a great story from Arynne Wexler from the Federalist. She writes, it all became even more egregious, when we inspect within the context of the Biden administration's foreign and domestic policies.
The money trail with Iran, is worse than you think.
Let me just read this to you: Many of the articles surrounding the atrocities of the Hamas attacks in the past weekend have been referenced -- have referenced the recent 6 billion-dollar deal. In which the US gave its money to Iran, in exchange for five Americans. It already seemed like the worst trade in history.
But it's more nefarious than simply unleashing $6 billion to Iran. A known terrorist state. And the most existential threat to the free world.
In reality, this one detail hyper linked quickly, in most articles.
Is part of a larger spiderweb of hidden details. In a recent article, senior adviser of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and former National Security Council official, Richard Goldberg traces the money trail. And he confirms it's worse than you think.
Listen to this. The $6 billion you've seen in all of the headlines, is only the money being transferred from our friends in Qatar.
This is separate, from the ten billion dollars of assets, being transferred from Iraq.
That continues on a rolling basis.
Then there are reports that Iran will be allowed to access $7 billion in Fiat currency by trading drawing rights with the International Monetary Fund.
And Japan is now scheduled to transfer $3 billion to Tehran.
The revelations don't end there. US officials have also quietly acknowledged, that they have uncapped Iranian oil exports to China.
These export level previously held by the Trump administration to 775,000 barrels per day. Are now estimated to be between 1.4 and 2.2 million barrels per take. Modest estimates. Value this relief at $25 billion, annually.
So the total is not six billion dollars. The total, orchestrated by the Biden administration, to Iran, is 50 billion dollars.
This is perhaps the only -- only the first layer that we know. We know Iran has already ejected international nuclear inspectors and is on their way to building a facility, that is believed to be now so deep, that no bunker burst could even affect it.
Iran didn't have to stop their production of highly enriched uranium. They're just producing it at a slower rate. And with the Biden administration chose to pick up the Obama era's decision to unrestrain Iran, based on a pinkie promise.
Most recently, we learned the top officials were influencing the US government, in favor of Iranian nuclear power.
A series of leaked emails now have forced the chief of staff to the Secretary of Defense, messages show her involvement with the Iran expert's initiative. A direct Iranian government initiative to allegedly improve the country's image.
This would seem the mandate of improving the country's image, including -- included influencing the US government to give Tehran more flexibility, in enriching uranium.
It also clarifies the quiet suspension of the Biden administration's lead uranium negotiator Robert Malley, which was previously unexplained.
We have also come to learn that other aides were directly corresponding with the Iranian government from their US government posts.
Iranian lawmakers proudly chant, death to America, but we make deals.
We have the Biden administration making deals with the enemies of the United States of America.
He is -- he has cleared the way for $50 billion to go to the biggest terrorist organization on the planet. And then he has allowed them to make money, with the Chinese.
By allowing them to sell more of their oil. While canceling our oil here, in America.
When is enough, enough, America?
