Conspiracy! The Show 184: Hunter Biden’s Laptop

1
00:00:10,640 –> 00:00:14,840
We’ll show you the transpiracy
control appetite, double

2
00:00:14,920 –> 00:00:18,120
transpiracy periods with the
outrost Adam.

3
00:00:31,760 –> 00:00:35,640
Hey everybody.
Welcome to Conspiracy the Show.

4
00:00:35,960 –> 00:00:38,560
I’m your host, Adam Todd Brown.
Who are you?

5
00:00:38,720 –> 00:00:42,560
Hey, it’s me, Olivia Haidar.
You’re my living room right now.

6
00:00:42,560 –> 00:00:44,040
I am.
I love.

7
00:00:44,040 –> 00:00:47,360
It that must be very exciting.
I, you know, I’m thrilled,

8
00:00:47,600 –> 00:00:51,880
legitimately, very happy to be
doing a podcast in person.

9
00:00:51,880 –> 00:00:54,160
The kid it’s been.
This is the first time that I’ve

10
00:00:54,160 –> 00:00:57,680
done it since the COVID in
person.

11
00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:00,480
I think this is my second.
Yeah.

12
00:01:00,600 –> 00:01:02,880
In person.
I recorded one with Jeff.

13
00:01:02,880 –> 00:01:03,840
I know that.
Yeah.

14
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:05,960
Beyond that, yeah, I think
that’s it.

15
00:01:06,280 –> 00:01:08,600
Wow.
How are you enjoying your trip

16
00:01:08,600 –> 00:01:10,880
back to Los Angeles?
It’s good.

17
00:01:10,880 –> 00:01:14,360
It, you know, it’s one of those
kind of odd feelings where it’s

18
00:01:14,360 –> 00:01:17,760
like, Oh yeah, this is a place
where, like, I really had a lot

19
00:01:17,760 –> 00:01:20,760
of emotion infested it.
Yeah.

20
00:01:20,760 –> 00:01:24,640
And now I’m like transitioning
back to the Midwest.

21
00:01:24,640 –> 00:01:26,560
And so, I don’t know, it’s
weird.

22
00:01:26,720 –> 00:01:28,920
I bet.
I bet the Midwest is weird right

23
00:01:28,920 –> 00:01:30,040
now.
Oh, my God.

24
00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:31,560
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like it’s safe to

25
00:01:31,560 –> 00:01:35,350
say that America as a whole is
pretty weird right now.

26
00:01:35,470 –> 00:01:37,750
Yeah, everywhere.
Seems like it’s having its

27
00:01:37,750 –> 00:01:39,190
moment.
Yeah, right now.

28
00:01:39,990 –> 00:01:43,070
How excited are you too?
I can’t believe you traveled to

29
00:01:43,150 –> 00:01:46,670
LA just to cover this topic.
I mean, of course is.

30
00:01:46,750 –> 00:01:50,230
I mean like it’s so vital like.
It’s a very important one,

31
00:01:50,230 –> 00:01:51,990
that’s for sure.
I felt like this was one that

32
00:01:51,990 –> 00:01:54,550
needed that, Like crackling
electricity.

33
00:01:54,970 –> 00:01:58,010
That only can happen when like
two people are together.

34
00:01:58,050 –> 00:01:59,850
I tried to get six people on
this.

35
00:01:59,890 –> 00:02:03,210
Yeah, but most of the lame
stream media is too lame.

36
00:02:03,210 –> 00:02:05,410
Stream talk about this.
Wow.

37
00:02:05,610 –> 00:02:09,130
Which I shouldn’t come as a
surprise to anyone.

38
00:02:09,130 –> 00:02:11,130
No, I am unafraid.
I am.

39
00:02:11,170 –> 00:02:14,850
I’m unafraid of this.
But we are one segment of the

40
00:02:14,850 –> 00:02:19,490
lame stream media that is not
unwilling to tackle this issue.

41
00:02:19,530 –> 00:02:21,890
We’re talking about Hunter
Biden’s laptop.

42
00:02:22,170 –> 00:02:23,810
We actually have it here in
front of us.

43
00:02:25,120 –> 00:02:27,520
We’re gonna go through it file
by file.

44
00:02:28,200 –> 00:02:31,720
I mean, it’s like a piece of
history, you know, right in

45
00:02:31,720 –> 00:02:33,560
front of me.
It sure is.

46
00:02:33,720 –> 00:02:36,640
I don’t know if this is a story
that’s gonna go down in history.

47
00:02:36,640 –> 00:02:41,040
This is one of those stories
that I think 1/2 of the the

48
00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:44,200
political spectrum doesn’t care
about and the other half

49
00:02:44,200 –> 00:02:47,640
shouldn’t care about.
Like this doesn’t seem.

50
00:02:48,170 –> 00:02:53,170
Just in the In the annals of
presidential misconduct, like

51
00:02:53,170 –> 00:02:57,090
even things Biden has done, this
just seems kind of low right on

52
00:02:57,090 –> 00:02:59,930
the list.
It’s kind of been a running

53
00:02:59,930 –> 00:03:02,770
theme for several years.
It’s like when a Democratic

54
00:03:02,770 –> 00:03:06,250
politician, like, needs to be
attacked from the right.

55
00:03:06,770 –> 00:03:11,450
They always attack it, like
directly to their ideological

56
00:03:11,450 –> 00:03:16,790
base that already believes them.
Whereas, like, no one on the

57
00:03:16,790 –> 00:03:22,190
left cares about Hunter Biden’s
laptop or, you know, any of the

58
00:03:22,190 –> 00:03:24,550
number of other.
Like, you know, they would be

59
00:03:24,550 –> 00:03:26,430
like, racist against Kamala
Harris.

60
00:03:26,430 –> 00:03:29,190
You know, as like.
And like you could just judge

61
00:03:29,190 –> 00:03:32,750
Kamala Harris on the terrible
things that she done talk about,

62
00:03:32,750 –> 00:03:35,950
like the legislation that she or
Biden have been a part of.

63
00:03:35,950 –> 00:03:39,710
And you’re going to get way more
pushback from the left on them

64
00:03:39,710 –> 00:03:40,990
like they’re going to be into
that.

65
00:03:41,420 –> 00:03:45,700
Yeah, I think the people who are
really pushing this story think

66
00:03:45,700 –> 00:03:50,740
that people on the left would
either be upset if Hunter Biden

67
00:03:50,740 –> 00:03:55,220
went to prison for something or
would somehow protect Hunter

68
00:03:55,220 –> 00:03:55,980
Biden.
And I don’t.

69
00:03:55,980 –> 00:03:59,890
I don’t give a shit, right?
It’s like the Let’s Go Brandon

70
00:03:59,890 –> 00:04:02,570
thing, yeah?
Like you can just say fuck Joe

71
00:04:02,570 –> 00:04:05,410
Biden, no one cares.
Yeah, no one fucking likes Joe

72
00:04:05,410 –> 00:04:08,290
Biden.
No very unpopular president.

73
00:04:08,410 –> 00:04:12,850
That said, if you’re expecting a
scandal like this to take any

74
00:04:13,170 –> 00:04:16,450
presidential candidate down in
2022.

75
00:04:16,860 –> 00:04:18,300
You’re fucking dreaming.
Yeah.

76
00:04:18,579 –> 00:04:22,060
No, absolutely not.
I mean, to be fair to them, it

77
00:04:22,060 –> 00:04:26,180
would have more of a chance of
working on a Democrat because

78
00:04:26,180 –> 00:04:30,220
Democrats are naturally
spineless and unwilling to fight

79
00:04:30,220 –> 00:04:34,020
for their own.
And it might work in that case.

80
00:04:34,020 –> 00:04:37,060
But otherwise I just don’t
think, especially not this

81
00:04:37,060 –> 00:04:40,740
laptop thing is not a big enough
story to have any of the, like

82
00:04:40,860 –> 00:04:44,620
widespread effects that I think
the people pushing it want.

83
00:04:45,070 –> 00:04:47,070
Yeah.
How familiar were you with

84
00:04:47,070 –> 00:04:49,910
Hunter Biden?
I know nothing about him, but he

85
00:04:49,910 –> 00:04:55,470
seems like a sleazy bastard.
Yeah, I mean, before this, like

86
00:04:55,590 –> 00:04:59,750
last election period that is
still happening, you know, Never

87
00:04:59,750 –> 00:05:01,230
really.
I don’t think I’d ever heard of

88
00:05:01,230 –> 00:05:06,430
him before he became a like
scandal around Joe Biden’s neck.

89
00:05:06,780 –> 00:05:25,660
I had not either.
But what were we going to do?

90
00:05:07,740 –> 00:05:10,660
And I think that just speaks to
how little I care about the

91
00:05:10,780 –> 00:05:12,220
Bidens.
Absolutely.

92
00:05:12,540 –> 00:05:15,380
And maybe we should have cared
more about the Bidens because

93
00:05:15,980 –> 00:05:20,260
Joe Biden’s really been doing
some shit in his time in

94
00:05:20,260 –> 00:05:22,460
politics.
Yeah, like, especially all those

95
00:05:22,460 –> 00:05:26,420
crime bills.
Vote for Trump.

96
00:05:26,970 –> 00:05:31,810
Now, I mean, yeah, it’s this is
the position that they we are

97
00:05:31,810 –> 00:05:34,570
constantly put in by especially
the Democrats.

98
00:05:34,650 –> 00:05:36,210
Yeah.
But I’m sure they’ll figure it

99
00:05:36,210 –> 00:05:38,930
out in 2024.
Of course, in the midterms will

100
00:05:38,930 –> 00:05:41,610
be great.
Yeah, yeah, we’re gonna slay in

101
00:05:41,730 –> 00:05:45,170
the midterms. 2022 has already
been super normal and good for

102
00:05:45,170 –> 00:05:48,050
this administration.
So yeah, it could only, you

103
00:05:48,050 –> 00:05:50,890
know, get better.
Yeah, Joe Biden’s hot right now.

104
00:05:51,050 –> 00:05:53,970
He’s definitely is super hot.
Definitely having a moment.

105
00:05:55,490 –> 00:05:58,850
So before we dive into the
laptop story, let’s run through

106
00:05:58,970 –> 00:06:02,730
a little background about the
relationship between Joe Bud,

107
00:06:02,850 –> 00:06:06,330
Joe Biden, I almost said Joe
Budden, rapper.

108
00:06:06,370 –> 00:06:08,610
Now this is what we need to get
to the bottom to.

109
00:06:08,650 –> 00:06:11,490
Now that’s a story.
How what does Joe Budden know

110
00:06:11,650 –> 00:06:15,290
about Ukraine, exactly?
Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and

111
00:06:15,290 –> 00:06:17,690
Ukraine.
Back when he was still VP in

112
00:06:17,690 –> 00:06:22,610
2014, Biden made an appearance
in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine,

113
00:06:22,690 –> 00:06:25,170
as a show of support for the
country’s government.

114
00:06:25,480 –> 00:06:30,000
That was on April 21st, 2014,
and I will admit that what

115
00:06:30,000 –> 00:06:33,080
happens next, timing wise, is a
little strange.

116
00:06:33,360 –> 00:06:38,800
On May 13th, 2014, Barisma
Group, A natural gas drilling

117
00:06:38,800 –> 00:06:42,160
company in Ukraine, announced
that Hunter Biden was joining

118
00:06:42,160 –> 00:06:45,880
its board at a point in history
when the company’s founder just

119
00:06:45,880 –> 00:06:48,680
happened to be under
investigation for alleged money

120
00:06:48,680 –> 00:06:50,480
laundering.
And this is at a point when Joe

121
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:52,680
Biden is kind of the point
person.

122
00:06:53,000 –> 00:06:55,440
Right.
On our dealings with Ukraine.

123
00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:58,440
Yeah.
So he visits this company that’s

124
00:06:58,440 –> 00:07:02,040
being investigated, hires his
son, and it’s actually worse

125
00:07:02,040 –> 00:07:04,320
than that.
But we’ll get to right the

126
00:07:04,320 –> 00:07:07,560
specifics later.
But that’s a weird coincidence.

127
00:07:07,560 –> 00:07:09,640
It is.
It is very weird.

128
00:07:09,640 –> 00:07:13,320
I mean, like, look, I think I’m
totally willing to believe in

129
00:07:13,320 –> 00:07:17,520
basically any sort of corruption
level at the Biden.

130
00:07:17,960 –> 00:07:22,240
‘S Oh yeah, I 100% believe this
could have happened.

131
00:07:22,240 –> 00:07:24,400
Yeah, probably did happen.
Maybe.

132
00:07:24,640 –> 00:07:27,480
Crazier things have happened.
Yes, absolutely.

133
00:07:27,960 –> 00:07:31,160
It’s the post Trump era.
It’s the time when you know

134
00:07:31,360 –> 00:07:34,040
people are just kind of getting
away with shit because

135
00:07:34,440 –> 00:07:37,680
federally, it seems like nothing
matters that we do.

136
00:07:37,800 –> 00:07:44,560
So on December 8th, 2015, Joe
Biden visited Kiev again and

137
00:07:44,640 –> 00:07:46,760
during a meeting with government
officials.

138
00:07:47,250 –> 00:07:50,570
Threatened to withhold loan
guarantees unless the country’s

139
00:07:50,570 –> 00:07:54,090
top prosecutor, a man named
Victor Shoken, was fired.

140
00:07:54,170 –> 00:07:57,170
Shoken had been accused of
corruption.

141
00:07:57,250 –> 00:07:59,650
Here’s a possible conflict of
interest.

142
00:07:59,970 –> 00:08:03,610
Shoken before this had been
investigating Purisima.

143
00:08:04,210 –> 00:08:09,610
So the thinking on.
The side of the people pushing

144
00:08:09,610 –> 00:08:14,210
this story is that Joe Biden
basically ordered this

145
00:08:14,210 –> 00:08:18,330
prosecutor to be fired to
protect the company his son was

146
00:08:18,330 –> 00:08:21,330
working for, right?
That’s what got Trump impeached

147
00:08:21,330 –> 00:08:24,250
the second time.
Yes, his phone call to the

148
00:08:24,250 –> 00:08:27,510
president of Ukraine saying.
If you don’t open this

149
00:08:27,510 –> 00:08:30,310
investigation, then we’re not
going to give you aid money.

150
00:08:30,390 –> 00:08:33,990
It doesn’t sound a lot different
than what Joe Bryden said in

151
00:08:33,990 –> 00:08:37,870
2015.
Yeah, it’s a pretty pedestrian

152
00:08:37,870 –> 00:08:43,150
scandal by 2022 terms.
It is weird that Trump got

153
00:08:43,150 –> 00:08:45,590
impeached for it.
And yeah, Biden did.

154
00:08:46,310 –> 00:08:49,390
Not really the same thing, but
yeah.

155
00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:53,240
Like Trump just threatened to
withhold aid money and buy him.

156
00:08:53,240 –> 00:08:55,800
Threatened to withhold loan
guarantees, which that’s

157
00:08:55,800 –> 00:08:57,800
basically aid money that you
have to pay back.

158
00:08:59,200 –> 00:09:02,400
Yeah.
I mean, you know, again, I feel

159
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:09,160
like basically the sins didn’t
want to impeach Trump for

160
00:09:09,160 –> 00:09:11,200
anything that actually hurt
people.

161
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:12,920
Like nothing that mattered, you
know.

162
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:15,680
Right.
And that was like, seemingly the

163
00:09:15,680 –> 00:09:17,800
first thing that they could
really let go.

164
00:09:18,350 –> 00:09:20,950
Oh yeah, we got you one more
time before the election.

165
00:09:20,950 –> 00:09:24,670
Maybe just.
Yeah, I think the other big

166
00:09:24,670 –> 00:09:29,150
difference is Biden was
requesting action to be taken

167
00:09:29,150 –> 00:09:31,990
against someone in Ukraine,
right?

168
00:09:32,030 –> 00:09:35,230
Whereas Trump was asking for
action to be taken against a

169
00:09:35,510 –> 00:09:38,910
United States citizen who was
running for president and was

170
00:09:38,910 –> 00:09:41,030
the current or no, he wasn’t
current vice president.

171
00:09:41,150 –> 00:09:43,570
No.
But yeah, that that makes it a

172
00:09:43,570 –> 00:09:45,410
little different, I think.
Yes.

173
00:09:45,410 –> 00:09:48,010
Think there’s a lot of
contextual differences?

174
00:09:48,010 –> 00:09:51,690
Yes.
And yeah, Viktor Shokan wasn’t

175
00:09:51,690 –> 00:09:53,770
running for president in the
United States.

176
00:09:57,210 –> 00:10:00,450
I mean, like, but again, you
know, not not corrupt.

177
00:09:53,770 –> 00:09:56,850
So yeah, it’s not, it’s not
quite the same thing.

178
00:10:00,450 –> 00:10:03,690
It’s, you know there’s.
Also, Trump did that shit over

179
00:10:03,690 –> 00:10:05,930
the phone.
But that’s dumb as hell.

180
00:10:06,130 –> 00:10:10,740
But granted, Biden.
Didn’t do himself any favors

181
00:10:10,820 –> 00:10:14,100
when he went in front of.
I don’t remember what group it

182
00:10:14,100 –> 00:10:16,940
was, but he was given a speech
and he just bragged about this

183
00:10:17,500 –> 00:10:20,500
and was like, yeah, man, I told
him, you don’t get the loan

184
00:10:20,500 –> 00:10:23,300
guarantees, you don’t fire that
prosecutor, man, That’s my Joe

185
00:10:23,300 –> 00:10:24,980
Biden.
Yeah, everyone liked it.

186
00:10:25,180 –> 00:10:27,180
No, it’s great.
To do Joe Biden, you just have

187
00:10:27,180 –> 00:10:29,940
to go man, man, after every word
you say.

188
00:10:29,940 –> 00:10:32,580
Man or Jack.
Yeah, Jack.

189
00:10:32,740 –> 00:10:34,500
Listen here, Jack.
That’s malarkey, man.

190
00:10:35,220 –> 00:10:37,180
Yeah, I have no Joe Biden
impression.

191
00:10:37,780 –> 00:10:39,580
I try not to listen to him talk
if I can.

192
00:10:39,820 –> 00:10:45,020
Yeah, it’s it’s frustrating.
Like we got to do better next

193
00:10:45,020 –> 00:10:46,780
time.
Do you think he’ll run again in

194
00:10:46,780 –> 00:10:49,020
2024?
I don’t think he will.

195
00:10:49,180 –> 00:10:52,660
Is he gonna be alive in 2024?
Why?

196
00:10:52,740 –> 00:10:56,660
He’s so like he looks like he’s
about to keel over dead at the

197
00:10:56,660 –> 00:10:59,900
next, like large gust of wind.
Yeah.

198
00:10:59,900 –> 00:11:03,180
Or the next time a group of
angry Proud Boys kick in the

199
00:11:03,260 –> 00:11:06,060
door the capital.
Exactly.

200
00:11:06,430 –> 00:11:09,470
I mean, yeah, I don’t know if he
runs again.

201
00:11:09,470 –> 00:11:13,750
I I would have said no, but I
also would have said there’s

202
00:11:14,230 –> 00:11:18,190
he’s not going to run in 2020,
is he?

203
00:11:18,430 –> 00:11:21,390
And then he did.
And he certainly won’t get the

204
00:11:21,390 –> 00:11:23,790
nomination.
He was like, I mean, he’s not

205
00:11:23,790 –> 00:11:27,390
exactly like Trump, but it was
kind of, when I first heard his

206
00:11:27,390 –> 00:11:31,150
name tossed around, I was like,
no, yeah, it’s not going to be

207
00:11:31,150 –> 00:11:34,280
Joe Biden.
I thought, I thought the same.

208
00:11:34,520 –> 00:11:35,920
I thought that there was number
way.

209
00:11:35,920 –> 00:11:40,040
I mean, well, not that there was
number way, obviously, but it

210
00:11:40,040 –> 00:11:45,070
was just such an obvious push.
It wasn’t even like a candidate

211
00:11:45,070 –> 00:11:49,190
who was mildly like, popular.
He just had name recognition.

212
00:11:49,430 –> 00:11:52,030
He just comes in at the last
minute and sweeps it up.

213
00:11:52,110 –> 00:11:54,190
Yeah, he was Obama adjacent.
Yeah.

214
00:11:54,470 –> 00:11:58,070
And I think people were counting
on him to get that Obama heat.

215
00:11:58,150 –> 00:12:01,350
And I think he did.
And I guess it’s what put him

216
00:12:01,350 –> 00:12:04,190
over the top.
And then he was like, thanks

217
00:12:04,190 –> 00:12:07,110
black people.
Now on to not worrying about

218
00:12:07,110 –> 00:12:09,000
your issues again.
Yep.

219
00:12:09,120 –> 00:12:11,440
Basically.
I mean, yeah, it’s what a

220
00:12:11,560 –> 00:12:16,520
fucking wet fart of the first
year for a president.

221
00:12:16,840 –> 00:12:21,680
Yeah, like, compared even.
It’s not even disastrous in the

222
00:12:21,680 –> 00:12:25,240
way that the Trump first year
was, which was just insane thing

223
00:12:25,240 –> 00:12:26,920
after insane thing every single,
right?

224
00:12:27,240 –> 00:12:30,440
I mean, the world has been
crumbling around this for the

225
00:12:30,440 –> 00:12:36,540
last two years, but I feel like
in the end it is just there’s a

226
00:12:36,540 –> 00:12:39,220
pandemic going on.
There’s so much more that could

227
00:12:39,220 –> 00:12:43,540
have been done that wasn’t.
Yeah, and that says just as much

228
00:12:43,540 –> 00:12:47,260
as a million crazy, shitty
things all thrown at you at

229
00:12:47,260 –> 00:12:48,060
once.
Yeah.

230
00:12:48,060 –> 00:12:52,620
I think the way he handled the
capital riot too is a little

231
00:12:52,900 –> 00:12:56,220
disappointing, yeah.
Like, you can’t be.

232
00:12:56,220 –> 00:13:01,260
So I get, not necessarily
wanting to go hard on the

233
00:13:01,260 –> 00:13:02,580
rioters.
I really do.

234
00:13:02,620 –> 00:13:05,100
Right?
Because I have no doubt that at

235
00:13:05,100 –> 00:13:08,060
some point our side might have
to riot at the Capitol.

236
00:13:08,060 –> 00:13:10,740
Yeah, also.
Absolutely, and we should

237
00:13:10,780 –> 00:13:13,140
maintain the right to do that, I
agree.

238
00:13:13,220 –> 00:13:17,380
But if you’re a politician
participating in it, yeah, that

239
00:13:17,380 –> 00:13:20,900
feels a little different.
Yeah, exactly.

240
00:13:20,980 –> 00:13:26,100
And those people aren’t.
Being held accountable in any

241
00:13:26,100 –> 00:13:29,180
real way and it’s like you’re
the president, man.

242
00:13:29,340 –> 00:13:31,180
Do something to Jack.
Exactly.

243
00:13:31,180 –> 00:13:34,380
There.
There are just so many problems

244
00:13:34,500 –> 00:13:39,260
like that that he could solve
just using the executive power

245
00:13:39,580 –> 00:13:43,900
that he and his party have been
building up for the last 20

246
00:13:43,900 –> 00:13:46,140
years in conjunction with the
Republicans.

247
00:13:46,140 –> 00:13:51,420
Like, just push authority into
the executive, all of it.

248
00:13:51,860 –> 00:13:56,430
And then Democrats are like, but
we don’t want to use it.

249
00:13:56,430 –> 00:14:00,670
People might not like us.
Yeah, and The thing is they have

250
00:14:00,670 –> 00:14:03,710
used it, so use it now for
shitty things.

251
00:14:03,710 –> 00:14:05,110
Well, not even just shitty
things.

252
00:14:05,110 –> 00:14:07,710
That’s kind of how DACA got a
little bit, yeah, yeah.

253
00:14:07,710 –> 00:14:11,030
Push through, but that’s also
sort of the exception, right?

254
00:14:11,030 –> 00:14:12,550
Like in terms of?
Exactly.

255
00:14:12,750 –> 00:14:17,550
Things executive orders have
been used for, like there’s DACA

256
00:14:17,550 –> 00:14:21,000
and then it’s like.
Venezuela is a threat to

257
00:14:21,000 –> 00:14:23,480
American security.
And it’s like, no, they’re not.

258
00:14:23,840 –> 00:14:27,200
Or like Obama being like, Oh
yeah, no, it no, it’s cool to

259
00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:29,120
assassinate Americans overseas.
Don’t worry about it.

260
00:14:29,120 –> 00:14:31,320
Yeah, don’t worry about.
It as long as we do it by drone.

261
00:14:31,400 –> 00:14:33,040
Yeah, that’s more that’s
ethical.

262
00:14:33,080 –> 00:14:34,720
Exactly.
Then no one has to have it

263
00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:37,320
weighing on their conscience
except that drone operator,

264
00:14:37,960 –> 00:14:40,680
obviously.
So let’s talk about this laptop

265
00:14:40,760 –> 00:14:45,840
after they tried to get the
Ukrainian president to basically

266
00:14:45,840 –> 00:14:49,630
intervene in.
The 2020 election on Trump’s

267
00:14:49,630 –> 00:14:54,510
behalf by investigating Biden.
After that failed, this laptop

268
00:14:54,510 –> 00:14:58,790
story was the next attempt.
Yeah, they, I think they were

269
00:14:58,790 –> 00:15:04,390
going for the same thing they
got in 2016, which was.

270
00:15:04,710 –> 00:15:08,830
The FBI is investigating Hillary
Clinton’s story, right?

271
00:15:08,910 –> 00:15:12,870
That came out like a fucking
five days before the election.

272
00:15:12,870 –> 00:15:14,590
Yeah.
It’s like, thanks a lot.

273
00:15:14,590 –> 00:15:17,710
It was funny.
And I feel like they were hoping

274
00:15:17,710 –> 00:15:21,350
for a moment like that again
with this story, and they didn’t

275
00:15:21,350 –> 00:15:24,550
get it for obvious reasons that
we’ll get to.

276
00:15:25,040 –> 00:15:27,800
Here’s the story.
Basically, it’s alleged that in

277
00:15:27,800 –> 00:15:32,600
April 2019, Hunter Biden dropped
off a water damaged laptop at a

278
00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:37,000
computer shop in Delaware and
asked them to recover any data

279
00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:39,000
they could.
And then you just left it there.

280
00:15:39,200 –> 00:15:42,600
Never paid for it, never went
back to get it and pick it up

281
00:15:42,720 –> 00:15:44,720
which.
That’s weird.

282
00:15:44,720 –> 00:15:47,720
But also, when you look into
Hunter Biden, yeah, he’s you

283
00:15:47,720 –> 00:15:50,440
could just be a Dick.
Yeah, you could be a Dick.

284
00:15:50,440 –> 00:15:53,720
He could have found out there
was a warrant out for his arrest

285
00:15:53,720 –> 00:15:55,840
in that area and you just
couldn’t go back.

286
00:15:55,840 –> 00:15:58,400
Maybe he did too much coke and
forgot the address.

287
00:15:58,870 –> 00:16:01,830
Yeah, he might have just been
too high when he dropped it off

288
00:16:01,870 –> 00:16:05,750
to remember, and it sounds like
we’re joking, but that’s kind of

289
00:16:05,750 –> 00:16:08,350
Hunter Biden’s defense.
He seems like a party boy.

290
00:16:08,390 –> 00:16:10,550
Yeah, he’s just like, yeah, it
could have been me.

291
00:16:10,550 –> 00:16:12,830
I don’t know.
Someone could have stole it from

292
00:16:12,830 –> 00:16:14,710
me and taken it there and it’s
gonna be anything.

293
00:16:15,190 –> 00:16:18,040
I have no clue.
You’re asking me to remember all

294
00:16:18,040 –> 00:16:21,360
the way back to April 2019?
Yeah, jeez.

295
00:16:21,360 –> 00:16:24,080
But come on.
So the shop owner.

296
00:16:24,120 –> 00:16:26,840
First of all, this can’t be a
real name.

297
00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:28,200
John.
Paul.

298
00:16:28,200 –> 00:16:32,240
Mac.
Isaac Oh, yeah, and it’s just 4

299
00:16:32,240 –> 00:16:34,960
words.
Yeah, it’s it’s 4 words.

300
00:16:34,960 –> 00:16:39,240
One of them has a word from the
scandal in it, which is Mac.

301
00:16:39,680 –> 00:16:42,000
Yeah, well, it should.
I think what throws us off is

302
00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:47,160
the is that Mac Isaac is to
words instead of like Macisaac.

303
00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:51,240
Right.
And the John Paul and then Mac,

304
00:16:51,400 –> 00:16:53,440
Who makes Max?
Apple.

305
00:16:53,640 –> 00:16:57,200
What was the name of The Beatles
production company and record

306
00:16:57,200 –> 00:16:58,760
label?
Apple.

307
00:16:59,120 –> 00:17:02,880
So I think we’ve got a pretty
big connection there, Yeah.

308
00:17:03,080 –> 00:17:07,240
The mainstream media also is not
no, I mean what How could they?

309
00:17:07,599 –> 00:17:10,480
How could they possibly?
I think what I’m getting at is

310
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:12,760
this is.
The real Paul McCartney, of

311
00:17:12,760 –> 00:17:14,800
course.
The one who died in the car.

312
00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:17,520
Yeah, right.
And then they cloned that one

313
00:17:17,599 –> 00:17:21,079
and now this is him, right?
And it’s a fake Paul McCartney,

314
00:17:21,079 –> 00:17:23,599
right.
That’s still making music so

315
00:17:23,599 –> 00:17:27,920
it’s like Paul McCartney.
Paul is dead, but like foe

316
00:17:27,920 –> 00:17:33,960
McCartney like, right?
Try to think of a mall.

317
00:17:34,080 –> 00:17:35,520
Mall.
Yeah.

318
00:17:36,550 –> 00:17:41,550
False.
McCartney.

319
00:17:37,030 –> 00:17:38,830
McCartney.
False McCartney.

320
00:17:38,830 –> 00:17:40,670
That’s not bad.
No, that’s pretty good.

321
00:17:41,550 –> 00:17:43,550
I like that.
Yeah, so false.

322
00:17:43,550 –> 00:17:48,470
McCartney gets this laptop and
he decides, after the person

323
00:17:48,470 –> 00:17:51,030
doesn’t pick it up, who he
knows, his Hunter Biden.

324
00:17:51,030 –> 00:17:52,350
Or yeah, thinks his Hunter
Biden.

325
00:17:52,630 –> 00:17:55,270
I, he says is he’s Hunter Biden
right?

326
00:17:55,270 –> 00:17:58,510
Because the that’s the only
reason that they know that this

327
00:17:58,510 –> 00:18:01,350
is his laptop.
And when he signed the forms he

328
00:18:01,350 –> 00:18:03,920
signed.
Or he wrote his name as Hunter

329
00:18:04,080 –> 00:18:04,800
Biden.
Right.

330
00:18:04,960 –> 00:18:09,440
But also one wrinkle in this
story that we’ll get to a little

331
00:18:09,440 –> 00:18:11,960
more in a minute.
The shop owners blind.

332
00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:13,680
He’s legally blind.
Yeah.

333
00:18:14,000 –> 00:18:19,320
So he can’t definitively ID
Hunter Biden.

334
00:18:19,360 –> 00:18:23,000
Yeah, but he could go through
what was on the laptop and

335
00:18:23,000 –> 00:18:28,130
definitively ID it right as.
Embarrassing and alarming, Yes.

336
00:18:28,290 –> 00:18:31,490
And some of this stuff is like,
allegedly, pictures of Hunter

337
00:18:31,490 –> 00:18:34,250
Biden smoke and crack.
Well, how does that work if

338
00:18:34,250 –> 00:18:36,090
you’re legally blind, right?
Does.

339
00:18:36,130 –> 00:18:39,130
Is there like, yeah, like, I
know there’s like speech to text

340
00:18:39,130 –> 00:18:42,730
programs, but is there like an
app you pull up that goes,

341
00:18:43,170 –> 00:18:46,370
that’s a picture of Hunter Biden
smoking crack?

342
00:18:47,280 –> 00:18:49,000
Yeah.
I mean, there’s definitely some

343
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:52,120
questions with regards to the
shop owner.

344
00:18:52,440 –> 00:18:55,680
I mean, there’s nothing to say
he could, you know, it says he’s

345
00:18:55,680 –> 00:18:58,720
legally blind.
So I’m sure it seems like he

346
00:18:58,720 –> 00:19:01,730
might be sighted in subcapacity,
right?

347
00:19:01,770 –> 00:19:05,690
And so I don’t know how like it
does seem like.

348
00:19:05,690 –> 00:19:08,770
And again, I’m no, I’m no
expert, but it seems like if you

349
00:19:08,770 –> 00:19:13,650
can make out fine detail in a
JPEG on a laptop screen, then

350
00:19:13,730 –> 00:19:17,570
maybe you you should be able to
like see if it’s the same as the

351
00:19:17,570 –> 00:19:20,490
person like there.
But again, I don’t know.

352
00:19:20,570 –> 00:19:22,010
Yeah.
Like, there’s lots of levels of

353
00:19:22,010 –> 00:19:24,590
blindness, and I’m not trying
to, but yeah.

354
00:19:24,710 –> 00:19:28,230
I guess it also depends on what
version of Hunter Biden comes

355
00:19:28,230 –> 00:19:30,870
stumbling into your Mac repair
shop.

356
00:19:30,870 –> 00:19:33,070
Yeah, maybe he’s a little puffy.
Yeah.

357
00:19:33,070 –> 00:19:36,510
Is it business hunter or is it
party hunter?

358
00:19:36,870 –> 00:19:40,270
Yeah, this is Monday morning.
Hunter was there, a cigarette

359
00:19:40,270 –> 00:19:44,390
dangling out of his mouth.
That is exactly his vibe though.

360
00:19:44,950 –> 00:19:48,230
Oh, for sure 5:00 Shadow
cigarette out of the mouth.

361
00:19:50,010 –> 00:19:53,930
So this guy, he he says what he
found on the laptop is alarming

362
00:19:53,930 –> 00:19:56,610
and embarrassing.
So he contacted the FBI like a

363
00:19:56,610 –> 00:19:59,730
real narc.
And he says he did it because he

364
00:19:59,730 –> 00:20:03,290
feared for his own safety on
account of now having all this

365
00:20:03,290 –> 00:20:06,650
information about the
president’s son, which I buy

366
00:20:06,650 –> 00:20:07,570
that.
Yeah.

367
00:20:08,130 –> 00:20:11,850
Even if that’s not why he
actually contacted FBI, that’s

368
00:20:11,850 –> 00:20:14,970
why he should have contacted.
No, I mean, that’s a perfectly

369
00:20:14,970 –> 00:20:18,250
reasonable, I guess, explanation
if you’re going to narc to the

370
00:20:18,330 –> 00:20:21,200
FBI.
Did that make sense as a reason?

371
00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:25,880
But also the question is, do you
trust the FBI right in that?

372
00:20:25,920 –> 00:20:28,840
Capacity.
Yeah, I, you know, I don’t know.

373
00:20:29,080 –> 00:20:31,280
I think your average person off
the street might.

374
00:20:31,520 –> 00:20:33,120
I mean, you kind of have to, I
guess.

375
00:20:33,120 –> 00:20:34,680
What else are you going to do?
Yeah, it’s society.

376
00:20:34,680 –> 00:20:36,080
Go to the fucking mob.
Right.

377
00:20:36,520 –> 00:20:38,560
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I guess.

378
00:20:38,560 –> 00:20:39,000
There.
Yeah.

379
00:20:39,040 –> 00:20:43,680
Well, I guess he could have sent
it to just a just a bunch of

380
00:20:43,680 –> 00:20:47,200
like, right wing news outlets.
That would have been another

381
00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:49,600
option.
Oh, he sort of does that, yeah.

382
00:20:50,400 –> 00:20:56,240
But first he met with the FBI in
late 2019, and a couple of weeks

383
00:20:56,240 –> 00:21:00,000
later, a team of agents returned
with a subpoena allowing them to

384
00:21:00,000 –> 00:21:03,600
confiscate the computer and an
external hard drive.

385
00:21:03,720 –> 00:21:05,560
And so that all definitely
happened, yeah.

386
00:21:05,800 –> 00:21:10,560
The only question is whether it
happened as John, Paul, Mack,

387
00:21:11,080 –> 00:21:14,360
George, Ringo and Isaac.
Say it happened, right.

388
00:21:14,520 –> 00:21:16,920
Because again, he’s he’s legally
blind.

389
00:21:17,080 –> 00:21:22,200
So if he is straight up saying I
can’t definitively ID him, yeah,

390
00:21:22,360 –> 00:21:25,040
that’s really helpful for Hunter
Biden, right?

391
00:21:25,360 –> 00:21:27,610
Because.
Like I said, he’s been

392
00:21:27,610 –> 00:21:29,890
interviewed about this.
He was interviewed very

393
00:21:29,890 –> 00:21:32,690
recently.
And by that I mean like April

394
00:21:32,770 –> 00:21:36,530
2021.
But you hear people howl about

395
00:21:36,530 –> 00:21:38,690
the mainstream media not
covering this, and they’ve

396
00:21:38,690 –> 00:21:42,250
covered it.
And CBS in an interview asked

397
00:21:42,250 –> 00:21:45,250
him about this laptop.
And he was just like, yeah,

398
00:21:45,490 –> 00:21:47,810
could be mine.
Could not be mine.

399
00:21:48,170 –> 00:21:49,570
Wow.
Could be someone stole it from

400
00:21:49,570 –> 00:21:50,770
me.
Could be anything.

401
00:21:50,810 –> 00:21:54,570
You never know.
And as long as that shop owner

402
00:21:54,570 –> 00:21:56,340
is like.
I don’t know either.

403
00:22:00,540 –> 00:21:57,900
Oh, no, absolutely.
Yeah, like this is you can’t

404
00:21:57,900 –> 00:22:00,060
expect anyone to get impeached
over this.

405
00:22:01,860 –> 00:22:05,180
Yeah, it’s so unrealistic now.
But yeah, and that’s what it

406
00:22:05,180 –> 00:22:07,540
seems like.
Republicans were hoping what

407
00:22:07,540 –> 00:22:09,380
happened, right?
This story would come out right

408
00:22:09,380 –> 00:22:12,460
before the election.
Yeah, and people would be up in

409
00:22:12,460 –> 00:22:15,580
arms about it, right?
And it would cost Biden the

410
00:22:15,580 –> 00:22:16,660
election.
Yeah.

411
00:22:16,660 –> 00:22:21,460
I mean, and maybe that might
have happened in like 2012,

412
00:22:21,700 –> 00:22:24,910
right?
But like, with two elections

413
00:22:24,910 –> 00:22:30,030
like this under our belt, I just
don’t think we as a society are

414
00:22:30,030 –> 00:22:34,110
in a place where we are all
together shocked by too many

415
00:22:34,110 –> 00:22:37,230
things, like enough to get
outraged in the same way.

416
00:22:37,390 –> 00:22:41,070
Yeah, and and I mean, you know,
not to mention there’s way less

417
00:22:41,150 –> 00:22:46,030
credible evidence leaked linking
Biden to this scandal.

418
00:22:46,670 –> 00:22:53,050
Even then the whole Clinton like
bullshit that happened in 2016.

419
00:22:53,050 –> 00:22:58,090
And so yeah, I just, there’s no
way it again, it takes

420
00:22:58,570 –> 00:23:03,530
Republican, you know workers,
politicians and pundits and

421
00:23:03,530 –> 00:23:08,090
things kind of thinking that the
Democratic audience is pathetic

422
00:23:08,090 –> 00:23:12,410
and manipulative and the same
way as the conservative

423
00:23:12,410 –> 00:23:14,810
audience.
And that’s just a misjudgment.

424
00:23:15,340 –> 00:23:17,780
Like, I’m not saying you can’t
control that.

425
00:23:17,940 –> 00:23:19,900
You know?
Yeah, people on the left, that’s

426
00:23:19,900 –> 00:23:23,180
just not the way that you do it.
There’s other ways though.

427
00:23:23,420 –> 00:23:28,220
And just the idea that
Republicans would stand in front

428
00:23:28,220 –> 00:23:32,110
of Democrats in 2020 and go.
Okay, You’re not going to

429
00:23:32,110 –> 00:23:35,990
believe this, but I think the
president and or vice president

430
00:23:35,990 –> 00:23:39,350
was using their office to make
themselves richer, right?

431
00:23:39,430 –> 00:23:42,470
And it’s like, do you know who
you voted for in 2016?

432
00:23:42,550 –> 00:23:44,630
You know who’s running against
Joe Biden?

433
00:23:44,630 –> 00:23:47,230
Yeah.
Like, of all the things you

434
00:23:47,230 –> 00:23:51,470
don’t get to bitch about when it
comes to the other side, it’s

435
00:23:51,710 –> 00:23:54,710
failing to divest from their
business interests.

436
00:23:54,790 –> 00:23:57,870
And like familial, like
nepotism.

437
00:23:57,910 –> 00:24:01,610
You know, like interfering on
behalf of your kids, Getting

438
00:24:01,610 –> 00:24:04,090
your kids paid jobs at the White
House.

439
00:24:04,250 –> 00:24:09,650
The government spent $2.5
million just on food and drinks

440
00:24:09,650 –> 00:24:12,810
at Trump hotels while he was in
office.

441
00:24:13,370 –> 00:24:17,370
And this is maybe this is them
accusing Biden of taking like I

442
00:24:17,370 –> 00:24:20,930
think $1,000,000.
Yeah, maybe a little bit so.

443
00:24:20,930 –> 00:24:26,690
And like, kind of maybe having a
small part to play in the firing

444
00:24:26,690 –> 00:24:31,690
of a minor Ukraine politician.
Yeah, so here’s the thing.

445
00:24:31,690 –> 00:24:35,530
That computer shop owner he
didn’t just turn the laptop over

446
00:24:35,530 –> 00:24:39,090
to the FBI, he also gave a copy
of the hard drive to Rudy

447
00:24:39,090 –> 00:24:40,810
Giuliani.
Thank God.

448
00:24:40,810 –> 00:24:44,290
Wow, America’s finest lawyer.
Which I think if we’ve learned

449
00:24:44,290 –> 00:24:46,570
anything from the past couple
years, it’s if you want

450
00:24:46,570 –> 00:24:49,610
something done right, you bring
in Giuliani.

451
00:24:51,540 –> 00:24:54,860
Cuz man, has that guy been doing
right by Trump this whole time.

452
00:24:55,700 –> 00:25:01,140
He has showed nothing but sound
judgment and solid thinking for

453
00:25:01,140 –> 00:25:05,900
at least four years, though.
He’s the only person tied to

454
00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:08,860
Trump, with the exception of
maybe Sydney Powell, that crazy

455
00:25:08,860 –> 00:25:10,260
Q Anon lawyer.
She’s.

456
00:25:10,660 –> 00:25:13,980
But he’s the only person who,
when he gets up and talks on

457
00:25:13,980 –> 00:25:16,620
Trump’s behalf, I’m like, you
might as well have just had

458
00:25:16,620 –> 00:25:19,580
Trump do it.
Like, it would have gone so much

459
00:25:19,580 –> 00:25:22,380
better if Trump.
Yeah, even if Trump showed up at

460
00:25:22,380 –> 00:25:25,340
Four Seasons Landscaping.
Yeah, No, totally.

461
00:25:25,380 –> 00:25:28,860
He probably could have made a
joke out of it or something.

462
00:25:28,860 –> 00:25:34,140
Yeah, he is a more naturally
gifted entertainer, which is an

463
00:25:34,140 –> 00:25:38,100
insane thing to say about when
in reference to Donald Trump.

464
00:25:38,570 –> 00:25:41,490
But like compared to Rudy
Giuliani at least.

465
00:25:41,610 –> 00:25:50,690
He is.
There’s a reason why he was a

466
00:25:50,690 –> 00:25:53,290
huge threat in the 2016
election.

467
00:25:42,090 –> 00:25:46,730
I watch all of Trump’s rallies
for work reasons, and he is a

468
00:25:46,730 –> 00:25:53,490
very charismatic speaker.
Yeah.

469
00:25:53,610 –> 00:25:56,850
You know, like, it’s because
he’s able to, you know, whip up

470
00:25:56,850 –> 00:25:59,450
huge crowds and he knows how to
play to them.

471
00:25:59,490 –> 00:26:05,260
Whereas Rudy Giuliani, the more
like power he thinks he gets,

472
00:26:05,260 –> 00:26:08,860
the more he seems to, like,
shrivel into himself and just

473
00:26:08,860 –> 00:26:11,460
become like a crazy Raisin, a
crazin.

474
00:26:13,180 –> 00:26:18,820
So that this guy gave this hard
drive to Giuliani after Trump’s

475
00:26:19,020 –> 00:26:23,700
second impeachment hearing, and
this laptop never came up in

476
00:26:23,700 –> 00:26:27,020
that testimony.
So he was like, Oh no, I’m going

477
00:26:27,020 –> 00:26:30,620
to bring in Giuliani.
And Giuliani ends up handing the

478
00:26:30,620 –> 00:26:32,700
hard drive over to the New York
Post.

479
00:26:33,160 –> 00:26:37,240
With Steve Bannon acting as some
sort of middleman, right?

480
00:26:37,360 –> 00:26:41,680
And the New York Post, as it
turns out, was not their first

481
00:26:41,680 –> 00:26:43,920
choice.
That would be the Wall Street

482
00:26:43,920 –> 00:26:49,000
Journal, who passed on the story
for, you know, journalistic

483
00:26:49,000 –> 00:26:52,320
reasons.
That, I’m sure, has absolutely

484
00:26:52,320 –> 00:26:54,560
nothing to do with what I’m
about to say next.

485
00:26:54,720 –> 00:26:58,000
Giuliani later said he chose the
New York Post because, quote,

486
00:26:58,160 –> 00:27:01,920
either nobody else would take it
or if they took it, they would

487
00:27:01,920 –> 00:27:05,480
spend all the time they could to
try to contradict it before they

488
00:27:05,480 –> 00:27:09,560
put it out and quote.
In other words, they needed an

489
00:27:09,560 –> 00:27:14,240
outlet that would just publish a
bunch of unsubstantiated claims.

490
00:27:14,970 –> 00:27:17,290
Without verifying them.
And I guess we missed their

491
00:27:17,290 –> 00:27:18,330
call, right?
Yeah.

492
00:27:18,330 –> 00:27:20,890
No, I’m sorry.
Unfortunate like we have a

493
00:27:20,890 –> 00:27:22,810
contact page right on the
website.

494
00:27:22,930 –> 00:27:25,450
I feel bad.
This is a real loss for you.

495
00:27:25,450 –> 00:27:26,610
You.
You deserve this.

496
00:27:26,690 –> 00:27:28,890
I was angling for that all year,
yeah.

497
00:27:29,210 –> 00:27:32,290
And they just skipped me right
together.

498
00:27:32,290 –> 00:27:33,890
It’s fine.
They should have at least like

499
00:27:34,210 –> 00:27:37,330
Bcc’d you on it, you know.
It’s the least they could do.

500
00:27:37,650 –> 00:27:39,730
I just think that’s it.
With all I’ve done for the

501
00:27:39,730 –> 00:27:43,690
Giuliani administration, I don’t
know what you call Giuliani.

502
00:27:43,770 –> 00:27:47,970
I think he’s just a lunatic now.
I just a guy, just a guy.

503
00:27:48,290 –> 00:27:50,130
So.
The New York Post.

504
00:27:50,170 –> 00:27:54,650
After ostensibly scouring an
entire hard drives worth of

505
00:27:54,650 –> 00:27:59,330
content, they come up with two
to three emails that they deem

506
00:27:59,570 –> 00:28:04,490
incriminating and these emails
act as the foundation for their

507
00:28:04,490 –> 00:28:08,290
first stories about.
Hunter Biden’s laptop, which

508
00:28:08,290 –> 00:28:10,850
were actually two separate
stories published on the same

509
00:28:11,090 –> 00:28:16,130
day because the Internet has a
terrible attention span.

510
00:28:16,170 –> 00:28:18,050
Oh yeah, well, the New York
Post.

511
00:28:18,050 –> 00:28:21,290
You know, they they love to fill
up as much ad space as they can

512
00:28:21,290 –> 00:28:22,570
possibly.
They don’t.

513
00:28:22,570 –> 00:28:23,970
They don’t.
They don’t care what fills it.

514
00:28:23,970 –> 00:28:26,130
They’ll split the story into six
parts if they need to.

515
00:28:26,250 –> 00:28:28,650
Oh yeah.
So one of these stories that

516
00:28:28,650 –> 00:28:31,930
they put out was called Hunter
Biden emails.

517
00:28:32,330 –> 00:28:35,970
Show leveraging connections with
his father to boost Burisma pay

518
00:28:36,130 –> 00:28:40,290
snappy title and the other was
smoking gun e-mail reveals how

519
00:28:40,290 –> 00:28:45,170
Hunter Biden introduced
Ukrainian businessman to VP dad

520
00:28:45,370 –> 00:28:48,410
And these articles Why don’t I
have it in the notes?

521
00:28:48,410 –> 00:28:53,530
They went up October 14th, I
think something like that of

522
00:28:53,530 –> 00:28:56,250
2020.
Some very shortly before the

523
00:28:56,250 –> 00:28:59,090
election, right?
And both emails do.

524
00:28:59,510 –> 00:29:04,190
Kind of show what the headlines
claim, The first article focuses

525
00:29:04,190 –> 00:29:08,590
on a message Hunter Biden sent
to his business partner Devin

526
00:29:08,590 –> 00:29:12,110
Archer, who was already on the
board at Burisma.

527
00:29:12,310 –> 00:29:14,870
The quote the story focuses on
is this.

528
00:29:15,070 –> 00:29:18,670
The announcement of my guys
upcoming travels should be

529
00:29:18,670 –> 00:29:23,350
characterized as part of our
advice and thinking, but what he

530
00:29:23,350 –> 00:29:25,830
will say and do is out of our
hands.

531
00:29:26,160 –> 00:29:29,000
Which that’s pretty scandalous,
yes.

532
00:29:29,240 –> 00:29:32,360
And of course the my guy in
question here is Joe Biden.

533
00:29:32,360 –> 00:29:36,680
Yeah, I know he’s probably being
cryptic for for the sake of an

534
00:29:36,680 –> 00:29:40,880
e-mail, but I do like the
thought of Hunter Biden calling

535
00:29:40,880 –> 00:29:45,760
his dad my guy.
Hey my guy, How’s it going?

536
00:29:46,240 –> 00:29:48,880
As if people are going to be
like, who’s he talking about?

537
00:29:50,410 –> 00:29:53,770
So he’s not done either.
There’s also this quote.

538
00:29:53,890 –> 00:29:56,810
We need to ask for longterm
agreement and across the board

539
00:29:56,810 –> 00:29:59,770
participation.
This is a huge step for us that

540
00:29:59,770 –> 00:30:03,090
could easily become very
complicated and if we are not

541
00:30:03,090 –> 00:30:06,210
protected financially,
regardless of the outcome, we

542
00:30:06,210 –> 00:30:09,450
could find ourselves frozen out
of a lot of current and future

543
00:30:09,450 –> 00:30:12,370
opportunities.
The contract should begin now,

544
00:30:12,650 –> 00:30:14,890
not after the upcoming visit of
My Guy.

545
00:30:15,650 –> 00:30:19,090
That should include a retainer
in the range of 25K per month.

546
00:30:19,550 –> 00:30:22,510
With additional fees where
appropriate for more indepth

547
00:30:22,510 –> 00:30:26,270
work to go to BSF, which is
their lawyers for our

548
00:30:26,270 –> 00:30:29,990
protection, completely separate
from our respective deals

549
00:30:30,190 –> 00:30:34,590
regarding board participation.
And what’s especially sketchy

550
00:30:34,590 –> 00:30:38,030
about this e-mail is he’s
emailing someone who’s already

551
00:30:38,030 –> 00:30:43,870
on the board at Burisma about
clearly what kind of leverage he

552
00:30:43,870 –> 00:30:46,510
can get with his dad on the
company’s behalf.

553
00:30:47,360 –> 00:30:49,560
And it’s before he worked for
Burisma.

554
00:30:50,280 –> 00:30:54,720
So it sounds like he and this
guy went to Burisma and pitched

555
00:30:54,720 –> 00:30:57,440
the idea of adding Hunter Biden
to the board.

556
00:30:57,480 –> 00:31:01,640
Yeah, so he could leverage his
connections with his dad, which

557
00:31:01,840 –> 00:31:05,400
is shady.
Yeah, it’s probably a crime.

558
00:31:05,960 –> 00:31:09,640
And there is absolutely no proof
that Joe Biden knew anything

559
00:31:09,640 –> 00:31:11,880
about it.
Yeah, nothing in that e-mail

560
00:31:11,880 –> 00:31:14,160
says anything about.
I mean, it talks a lot about my

561
00:31:14,160 –> 00:31:18,900
guy, but.
And Hunter Biden seems like the

562
00:31:18,900 –> 00:31:24,100
kind of guy who would push this
without telling his dad, because

563
00:31:24,100 –> 00:31:26,980
he puts that line in there about
you got to tell him we can’t

564
00:31:26,980 –> 00:31:30,980
guarantee what he’s going to
say, because then that protects

565
00:31:30,980 –> 00:31:33,620
him and he doesn’t really have
to tell his dad he was just

566
00:31:33,620 –> 00:31:36,100
like, hey, you want to come meet
these fuck sticks I’m working

567
00:31:36,100 –> 00:31:37,660
for?
And if he’s like, yeah, Jack,

568
00:31:38,260 –> 00:31:40,740
then good enough.
And if he says no, then Hunter

569
00:31:40,740 –> 00:31:47,570
Biden still covered no Jack.
Malarkey man like that, now he

570
00:31:47,610 –> 00:31:52,770
talks like a beatnik.
It’s classic, I would say rich

571
00:31:52,770 –> 00:31:55,970
kid talk where he’s like, oh,
you know, we can let’s see what

572
00:31:55,970 –> 00:31:59,610
we could do with my fancy,
expensive parent who’s like

573
00:31:59,610 –> 00:32:03,370
really rich in those people.
Maybe, you know, we want to meet

574
00:32:03,370 –> 00:32:07,170
him and see what he thinks.
I can’t say, you know, I can’t

575
00:32:07,170 –> 00:32:09,290
say for sure whether he’ll be
down, but yeah.

576
00:32:09,720 –> 00:32:13,720
And whether Joe Biden
participated in any of this or

577
00:32:13,720 –> 00:32:16,760
not, one, we’re probably never
going to find out.

578
00:32:16,760 –> 00:32:19,880
And two, it all comes down to
how cool of a dad he is.

579
00:32:21,480 –> 00:32:24,480
I would expect my dad, yeah, to
help out with something like

580
00:32:24,480 –> 00:32:26,480
this.
Granted, he’s dead, sure, but

581
00:32:26,840 –> 00:32:30,600
did he live right long enough?
I would expect him to help me

582
00:32:30,720 –> 00:32:33,200
extract money from the
government of Ukraine if I was

583
00:32:33,200 –> 00:32:34,440
in the position.
Yeah.

584
00:32:34,440 –> 00:32:37,720
I guess the question is, how
cool of a dad do you think Joe

585
00:32:37,720 –> 00:32:40,710
Biden is?
Yeah, I don’t know.

586
00:32:40,790 –> 00:32:44,150
He’s either too cool or he’s
like, I wanted shades with my

587
00:32:44,150 –> 00:32:46,950
kids and I’m I’m the cool and
I’m the cool.

588
00:32:46,950 –> 00:32:50,030
What if he was a cool dad?
He’s certainly not.

589
00:32:50,030 –> 00:32:53,710
This country’s cool.
No, but like, you know, look,

590
00:32:53,790 –> 00:32:58,170
I’m not gonna say it was all the
Onions fault, but I feel like

591
00:32:58,170 –> 00:33:02,810
Joe Biden’s popularity is at
least partially the fault of the

592
00:33:02,810 –> 00:33:09,410
Onions portrayal of Joe Biden as
a cool, goofy dude who eats ice

593
00:33:09,410 –> 00:33:14,530
cream and, like, washes, muscle
cars and aviators and shit Like

594
00:33:14,890 –> 00:33:19,010
it is just a total, I don’t
know, we old dad vibe.

595
00:33:19,380 –> 00:33:22,860
Yeah, so I don’t know, but I
don’t know if I don’t think he’d

596
00:33:22,860 –> 00:33:24,580
be a cool dad.
I don’t think I would like it.

597
00:33:24,700 –> 00:33:27,580
Now, probably not.
But he’s rich, so I mean, hey,

598
00:33:27,580 –> 00:33:30,860
maybe it is cool.
And about those claims that

599
00:33:30,860 –> 00:33:35,740
Hunter Biden might have
approached Burisma to leverage

600
00:33:35,740 –> 00:33:38,900
his connections with his dad for
their own benefit?

601
00:33:39,100 –> 00:33:42,300
There’s no proof of that, but
there is this e-mail from a

602
00:33:42,340 –> 00:33:45,620
Burisma executive.
We urgently need your advice on

603
00:33:45,620 –> 00:33:49,060
how you could use your influence
to convey a message signal.

604
00:33:49,380 –> 00:33:51,500
Etc.
To stop what we consider to be

605
00:33:51,500 –> 00:33:57,780
politically motivated actions.
And then Joe Biden fires the

606
00:33:57,780 –> 00:34:01,700
prosecutor or demands that the
prosecutor be fired.

607
00:34:02,140 –> 00:34:06,940
So listen, yeah, people, I get
why you’re suspicious.

608
00:34:06,940 –> 00:34:09,780
Yeah, I mean, look, that’s
spicy, I’m going to say.

609
00:34:10,100 –> 00:34:13,940
It sure is.
And I’m suspicious too.

610
00:34:13,980 –> 00:34:17,020
Yeah, sure.
I just am not impeach Joe Biden.

611
00:34:17,020 –> 00:34:19,260
Suspicious.
Yeah, I mean, like, look, I

612
00:34:19,260 –> 00:34:22,420
guess if you want to impeach
him, go ahead.

613
00:34:22,620 –> 00:34:24,300
Sure.
Yeah, like whatever.

614
00:34:24,300 –> 00:34:27,219
It’s not going to really bother
me that much.

615
00:34:28,260 –> 00:34:30,739
Nope.
Either way, even if he like if

616
00:34:30,739 –> 00:34:33,460
he gets removed from office or
whatever, I don’t really care.

617
00:34:33,820 –> 00:34:36,460
That’s not going to really
change much.

618
00:34:36,739 –> 00:34:40,340
But I am.
I personally can’t get that

619
00:34:40,340 –> 00:34:43,179
angry about it.
No, not especially.

620
00:34:43,179 –> 00:34:46,719
Not compared to.
I am more angry about how he’s

621
00:34:46,719 –> 00:34:51,120
handled COVID and like the way
he’s about to start war.

622
00:34:51,199 –> 00:34:54,800
Speaking of the Ukraine, well,
that’s an interesting conflict

623
00:34:54,800 –> 00:34:57,320
of interest.
Yeah, we are.

624
00:34:57,600 –> 00:34:59,960
We are definitely going to war,
yeah.

625
00:35:00,080 –> 00:35:05,160
And that sucks because he needs
to, like, prove that his, like,

626
00:35:05,160 –> 00:35:07,760
Dick is not small or something
correct.

627
00:35:07,800 –> 00:35:12,860
And so he’s going to, like, be
like, big on defense.

628
00:35:12,860 –> 00:35:15,420
He’s a real hawk, I guess.
I don’t know.

629
00:35:15,460 –> 00:35:19,060
This sucks.
But like, yeah, this laptop

630
00:35:19,060 –> 00:35:20,460
thing is nothing compared to all
that.

631
00:35:20,620 –> 00:35:22,380
Yeah.
And if you can believe it, there

632
00:35:22,380 –> 00:35:26,620
are some questions about this
story about the veracity of the

633
00:35:26,620 –> 00:35:28,820
story.
But this one, the P it’s it

634
00:35:28,820 –> 00:35:31,940
appeared in the New York Post
twice.

635
00:35:31,980 –> 00:35:33,340
Exactly.
Oh.

636
00:35:33,760 –> 00:35:35,400
No.
It’s been in the New York Post

637
00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:40,160
about 5500 times since they
first wrote about it, shortly

638
00:35:40,160 –> 00:35:42,880
before the article was
published, though, or shortly

639
00:35:42,880 –> 00:35:46,080
after the article was published.
The New York Times reported that

640
00:35:46,080 –> 00:35:49,520
the staff reporter who mostly
wrote the article, refused to

641
00:35:49,520 –> 00:35:53,800
put his name on the byline
because he had concerns over the

642
00:35:53,800 –> 00:35:56,240
credibility of the article.
Wow.

643
00:35:56,760 –> 00:36:01,840
When when the New York Post is
saying when the guy who works

644
00:36:01,840 –> 00:36:04,500
for the New York Post is like
this seems unethical.

645
00:36:04,500 –> 00:36:06,700
This is a little salacious.
I’m gonna say.

646
00:36:07,540 –> 00:36:12,140
This is infringing on my ethical
precepts.

647
00:36:12,140 –> 00:36:15,100
I don’t know.
And apparently, he was not alone

648
00:36:15,300 –> 00:36:18,500
in those concerns.
When the article finally went

649
00:36:18,500 –> 00:36:20,460
up, there were two names on the
byline.

650
00:36:20,460 –> 00:36:21,620
Emma.
Joe Morris.

651
00:36:22,060 –> 00:36:25,500
And Gabrielle for Rouge.
Emma Joe Morris had zero by

652
00:36:25,500 –> 00:36:28,700
lines in the post before that
and had only been working there

653
00:36:28,700 –> 00:36:32,860
for a few months after leaving
her previous job as a producer

654
00:36:32,860 –> 00:36:34,620
on Sean Hannity Show.
Oh wow.

655
00:36:34,620 –> 00:36:37,660
So you know when they came to
her and was like, you want to

656
00:36:37,660 –> 00:36:41,140
put your name on this article?
She was like, fuck, yeah, I do.

657
00:36:41,980 –> 00:36:45,020
Do you think they keep the Fox
News captures, like in their own

658
00:36:45,020 –> 00:36:49,780
corner, like, you know,
quarantined off from everybody

659
00:36:49,780 –> 00:36:51,530
else?
It’s like they’re like fair

660
00:36:51,530 –> 00:36:54,090
little children in there.
She probably left for One

661
00:36:54,090 –> 00:36:57,130
America News immediately after
this story went up.

662
00:36:57,370 –> 00:37:00,050
They probably gave her half,
$1,000,000 a year.

663
00:37:00,290 –> 00:37:04,690
You want to you want to attack
the left a little bit, OK?

664
00:37:05,410 –> 00:37:09,890
She’s chained to the floor.
Even crazier?

665
00:37:10,210 –> 00:37:13,170
The other woman on the byline,
Gabrielle for Rouge.

666
00:37:13,810 –> 00:37:17,010
She is said to have had almost
nothing to do with the reporting

667
00:37:17,010 –> 00:37:19,690
or writing.
And did not know her name was on

668
00:37:19,690 –> 00:37:21,890
the byline until the story was
published.

669
00:37:23,250 –> 00:37:25,690
But yeah, why didn’t Biden get
impeached over this?

670
00:37:26,970 –> 00:37:30,290
I don’t understand.
Oh my God.

671
00:37:30,530 –> 00:37:35,450
Jesus, that’s so funny.
Imagine, imagine not, like,

672
00:37:35,450 –> 00:37:39,210
aligning with this politically.
It did like saying, oh shit,

673
00:37:39,570 –> 00:37:41,530
this is what you’re doing with
my name.

674
00:37:41,650 –> 00:37:45,290
Yeah, God.
And that raises.

675
00:37:45,590 –> 00:37:47,630
A really obvious question, if
you.

676
00:37:47,630 –> 00:37:49,990
I mean, I guess it’s not that
obvious of a question, But if

677
00:37:49,990 –> 00:37:52,950
you think about it hard enough,
how did this article even get

678
00:37:52,950 –> 00:37:55,910
written?
Like, who wrote this?

679
00:37:55,990 –> 00:37:59,470
Yeah, and the New York Times
asked someone at the New York

680
00:37:59,470 –> 00:38:03,310
Post that question and they
refused to comment, which leads

681
00:38:03,310 –> 00:38:07,190
me to believe Bannon and
Giuliani probably just came to

682
00:38:07,190 –> 00:38:08,470
them with the article.
Exactly.

683
00:38:08,590 –> 00:38:11,470
Here it’s written, Yeah.
It’s like when when places like

684
00:38:11,470 –> 00:38:14,910
this, like just print someone’s
press release or something, you

685
00:38:14,910 –> 00:38:16,470
know, it’s the it’s the same
basic thing.

686
00:38:16,470 –> 00:38:20,910
Yeah, they had this idea and
just presented a wholesale.

687
00:38:20,910 –> 00:38:24,870
I have to imagine, unless they
have someone like on the

688
00:38:24,910 –> 00:38:29,350
editorial staff who’s just
willing to do that, but I doubt

689
00:38:29,350 –> 00:38:31,470
it.
Yeah, I don’t know.

690
00:38:31,670 –> 00:38:35,470
It makes it pretty clear why the
why the Wall Street Journal

691
00:38:35,470 –> 00:38:38,310
didn’t take it.
Yeah, because I might not agree

692
00:38:38,310 –> 00:38:41,030
with the Wall Street Journal on
their politics, but.

693
00:38:41,570 –> 00:38:44,170
Reporting, yeah, is pretty
solid.

694
00:38:44,170 –> 00:38:47,490
I mean they’re they’re the New
York Times of Republican, right.

695
00:38:47,610 –> 00:38:51,330
Essentially they are a real
newspaper.

696
00:38:51,330 –> 00:38:52,650
Yes, for the most part.
And.

697
00:38:52,650 –> 00:38:56,610
Subscribing to it digitally cost
$38 a month.

698
00:38:57,090 –> 00:38:59,470
Jesus.
I have to do it fucking.

699
00:38:59,470 –> 00:39:02,710
Christ, I mean, I get to write
it off on my taxes, but that’s

700
00:39:02,710 –> 00:39:05,990
still small consolation when it
comes out of my bank account

701
00:39:05,990 –> 00:39:09,710
every month, A month.
I’m like I’m giving the Wall

702
00:39:09,710 –> 00:39:14,590
Street Journal what like almost
$500 a year that’s and how

703
00:39:14,990 –> 00:39:17,980
there’s no way that sustained
well, I guess I’ve guess the

704
00:39:17,980 –> 00:39:20,260
people who would want to it’s
going to be a.

705
00:39:20,260 –> 00:39:22,900
Lot of fucking rich people.
God, that’s just blowing my

706
00:39:22,900 –> 00:39:26,100
mind.
That’s so much money.

707
00:39:26,260 –> 00:39:30,380
Yeah, the Washington Post I
think is $7.00.

708
00:39:30,380 –> 00:39:32,100
Let’s just say I’ve heard like
10.

709
00:39:32,100 –> 00:39:35,580
I’ve heard 15 in like.
The New York Times is a little

710
00:39:35,580 –> 00:39:37,780
spendy.
Or it’s close to 15, it might be

711
00:39:37,780 –> 00:39:43,210
15 or 20, but like I would say
20 is a cap for a monthly

712
00:39:43,210 –> 00:39:46,850
newspaper and like does it have
an annual discount or anything

713
00:39:46,850 –> 00:39:48,770
like is shit.
Man, I don’t know.

714
00:39:48,770 –> 00:39:51,690
But I’m not swinging.
Yeah, all at once.

715
00:39:51,930 –> 00:39:53,290
Jesus.
That’s a whole lot.

716
00:39:53,570 –> 00:39:55,650
Yeah, that’s wild.
That’s sorry.

717
00:39:55,650 –> 00:39:59,770
That’s blowing my mind.
More than anything, that happens

718
00:39:59,770 –> 00:40:03,410
with this laptop is like That’s
how much the Wall Street Journal

719
00:40:03,410 –> 00:40:06,930
costs.
And I when I first subscribed to

720
00:40:06,930 –> 00:40:09,190
it, I really didn’t have the
money.

721
00:40:09,190 –> 00:40:12,190
But I needed an article.
Yeah, And I it was behind the

722
00:40:12,190 –> 00:40:15,270
paywall.
So I subscribed for a free trial

723
00:40:15,270 –> 00:40:17,230
and I was like, well, I’m just
going to cancel it.

724
00:40:17,310 –> 00:40:20,910
It took me a solid six months to
figure out how to cancel.

725
00:40:21,630 –> 00:40:23,670
That’s how they get you.
It was nuts.

726
00:40:23,910 –> 00:40:26,550
Log on and they were like, you
don’t have an account.

727
00:40:26,990 –> 00:40:30,950
You emailed me about my account
and then I finally figured it

728
00:40:30,950 –> 00:40:33,950
out and then I just had to
resubscribe and now I just pay

729
00:40:33,950 –> 00:40:36,560
him.
But at least I’m not getting

730
00:40:36,560 –> 00:40:38,600
like the epoch times.
Right.

731
00:40:38,840 –> 00:40:40,760
Oh my God.
Guess what?

732
00:40:41,040 –> 00:40:45,000
What?
I recently last year moved into

733
00:40:45,000 –> 00:40:48,760
my grandfather’s house in
Indianapolis.

734
00:40:49,120 –> 00:40:53,760
And guess who like the Epoch
Times just comes to

735
00:40:53,760 –> 00:40:57,840
automatically is fucking senior
citizens over 60.

736
00:40:58,120 –> 00:41:01,240
Like it just is there.
I don’t think he subscribed to

737
00:41:01,240 –> 00:41:02,720
it.
I don’t think he has had the

738
00:41:02,720 –> 00:41:05,750
mental clarity.
Who have subscribed to the Epoch

739
00:41:05,750 –> 00:41:06,630
Times.
Sure.

740
00:41:06,710 –> 00:41:11,350
And let alone the knowledge of
like you know, he watches Fox

741
00:41:11,350 –> 00:41:14,750
News or watched.
Yeah like shit.

742
00:41:15,190 –> 00:41:18,230
But yeah, I know just every once
in a while, just get an epoch

743
00:41:18,230 –> 00:41:19,750
times and have to burn that
shit.

744
00:41:20,430 –> 00:41:23,550
Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if
they just send them out to every

745
00:41:23,910 –> 00:41:25,270
senior.
I mean, it’s China.

746
00:41:25,270 –> 00:41:27,670
They know where all of our
senior citizens live.

747
00:41:28,710 –> 00:41:32,240
They know everything about us,
so of course they can fire that.

748
00:41:32,320 –> 00:41:33,760
Yeah.
They’re better at using the

749
00:41:33,760 –> 00:41:36,160
data, our government minds, than
we are.

750
00:41:36,280 –> 00:41:38,520
Yeah, exactly.
Well, it has to go.

751
00:41:38,920 –> 00:41:41,760
I mean, some of so much of it
comes from apps, right?

752
00:41:41,760 –> 00:41:44,160
So a lot of it’s got to go
through China first.

753
00:41:44,920 –> 00:41:51,000
So yeah, they, the Republicans
were expecting this to undo

754
00:41:51,040 –> 00:41:55,320
Biden’s chances at the election.
And when it didn’t, they started

755
00:41:55,320 –> 00:42:01,020
howling about a media cover up
and media covers some shit up.

756
00:42:01,180 –> 00:42:04,180
Like I would never call the
media the enemy of the people,

757
00:42:04,180 –> 00:42:07,460
but they also don’t always do us
a lot of favors, right?

758
00:42:07,780 –> 00:42:12,660
Like they really straddle the
line between useful and big big

759
00:42:12,660 –> 00:42:14,220
problem.
Yeah, and it’s in.

760
00:42:14,260 –> 00:42:17,540
And they’re not a monolith.
And people put like outlets do

761
00:42:17,540 –> 00:42:20,900
occasionally act independently.
But yeah, that’s less of the

762
00:42:20,900 –> 00:42:23,940
case now that it used to be,
especially like in the heyday of

763
00:42:23,940 –> 00:42:27,420
like the 70s.
But, you know, if it’s more

764
00:42:27,420 –> 00:42:29,100
driven by profit now than
anything.

765
00:42:29,380 –> 00:42:32,300
Yeah.
And if you’re expecting that out

766
00:42:32,300 –> 00:42:36,860
of, like the New York, NY Times
or the Washington Post, that’s

767
00:42:36,860 –> 00:42:39,380
where you’re not going to get
that kind of stuff anymore.

768
00:42:39,380 –> 00:42:43,860
Except like the Trump tax story
was a big one for the New York

769
00:42:43,860 –> 00:42:45,500
Times.
But of course, the New York

770
00:42:45,500 –> 00:42:47,980
Times is going to go with Trump
like that.

771
00:42:48,260 –> 00:42:50,820
Like they are diametrically
opposed.

772
00:42:50,980 –> 00:42:53,480
Right.
But for the most part, when the

773
00:42:53,480 –> 00:42:57,200
really interesting government
malfeasance stories get

774
00:42:57,200 –> 00:43:00,600
published, they’re on like
Newsweek or The Daily Beast,

775
00:43:00,600 –> 00:43:03,400
right?
Yahoo actually does some pretty

776
00:43:03,400 –> 00:43:07,240
solid reporting these days.
But when you see them on those

777
00:43:07,280 –> 00:43:10,440
outlets, they don’t have that
same name recognition, right?

778
00:43:10,600 –> 00:43:14,760
So people think it’s not as
valid of a story.

779
00:43:14,760 –> 00:43:16,480
Yeah.
Granted, once it gets kicked

780
00:43:16,480 –> 00:43:19,810
down to the New York Post, yeah,
then there’s a good chance it’s

781
00:43:19,810 –> 00:43:21,970
not.
Well, it’s that’s the thing,

782
00:43:21,970 –> 00:43:25,050
yeah, the New York Post is just
not a credible website, you

783
00:43:25,130 –> 00:43:29,450
know, even though like Yahoo and
Newsweek in these other outlets

784
00:43:29,450 –> 00:43:34,770
may have less of like, you know,
they just don’t carry as much

785
00:43:34,770 –> 00:43:38,330
weight in the same way.
But like, I feel like they still

786
00:43:38,330 –> 00:43:42,450
are more easily recognizable as
like a reputable source than

787
00:43:42,450 –> 00:43:46,830
something like, right?
Daily Mail or New York Post.

788
00:43:46,870 –> 00:43:49,110
These places that try to pass
off Daily Mail.

789
00:43:49,110 –> 00:43:50,350
Not good.
What’s going on?

790
00:43:50,630 –> 00:43:53,110
Oh, no, no.
I mean, they’re fine.

791
00:43:53,110 –> 00:43:55,990
You know they’re good.
No, I know.

792
00:43:55,990 –> 00:43:58,190
They’re awful.
They might be worse than the

793
00:43:58,190 –> 00:44:00,550
Post.
So yeah, this idea that there

794
00:44:00,550 –> 00:44:03,870
was a media cover up is
something they pushed just

795
00:44:03,870 –> 00:44:07,200
because it didn’t.
Yeah, get Biden impeached.

796
00:44:07,360 –> 00:44:10,120
And if you go back and look, a
lot of people reported on it.

797
00:44:10,120 –> 00:44:12,800
They just didn’t report on it in
the way right?

798
00:44:12,880 –> 00:44:15,080
Republicans wanted it reported
on.

799
00:44:15,080 –> 00:44:18,280
Yeah, it wasn’t apocalyptic.
It wasn’t greeted with the Fox

800
00:44:18,280 –> 00:44:23,440
News, like breaking news.
Yeah, and this is way different

801
00:44:23,440 –> 00:44:26,160
than the FBI coming out and
saying, hey, we’re investigating

802
00:44:26,160 –> 00:44:27,760
someone, right, president right
now.

803
00:44:28,100 –> 00:44:30,900
Like it just doesn’t have the
same credibility.

804
00:44:30,900 –> 00:44:35,420
I mean the the FBI for all of
their faults and they have many,

805
00:44:35,420 –> 00:44:36,820
many faults.
Oh yeah.

806
00:44:37,100 –> 00:44:42,340
They are a mostly independent
like, you know, as they would

807
00:44:42,540 –> 00:44:45,900
say deep state, but like you
know, in the non prerogatory

808
00:44:45,900 –> 00:44:48,380
way, right.
Like when they come out with a

809
00:44:48,380 –> 00:44:51,860
statement about Hillary Clinton,
that’s a much more objective

810
00:44:51,860 –> 00:44:54,340
authority coming forth.
They say this is, you know, this

811
00:44:54,340 –> 00:44:56,820
is something we’re doing, we’re
investigating, whereas just

812
00:44:56,820 –> 00:44:59,340
like.
We’re investigating who’s

813
00:44:59,340 –> 00:45:05,020
investigating.
Rudy Giuliani, you know, just

814
00:45:05,020 –> 00:45:07,060
doesn’t carry the same way.
It doesn’t work the same.

815
00:45:07,180 –> 00:45:09,940
Yeah.
So it’s not even remotely true

816
00:45:09,940 –> 00:45:12,500
that this was ignored by
mainstream media outlets.

817
00:45:12,740 –> 00:45:16,220
As I mentioned earlier, CNN was
still reporting on it well into

818
00:45:16,220 –> 00:45:19,590
2021.
CBS was interviewing Hunter

819
00:45:19,590 –> 00:45:22,870
Biden about it.
The CNN article that they ran in

820
00:45:22,870 –> 00:45:26,710
April 2021, The headline was
Hunter Biden dodges question on

821
00:45:26,710 –> 00:45:31,670
laptop seized by the FBI.
So that’s not the mainstream

822
00:45:31,670 –> 00:45:33,590
media covering this.
Up.

823
00:45:33,590 –> 00:45:36,070
Yeah, no, that mean that’s an
honest headline.

824
00:45:36,810 –> 00:45:39,850
I mean, sure.
And that’s not to say I don’t

825
00:45:39,850 –> 00:45:42,770
believe any of this.
Like, I’m sure there’s tons of

826
00:45:42,770 –> 00:45:45,210
incriminating shit.
Yeah, on a laptop.

827
00:45:45,210 –> 00:45:49,730
Oh, I’m sure every Hunter Biden
laptop has very bad things on

828
00:45:49,730 –> 00:45:51,730
it.
Like instantly as soon as he

829
00:45:51,730 –> 00:45:54,250
signs in.
Yeah, it’s probably.

830
00:45:54,330 –> 00:45:57,730
There’s probably a pop up that’s
like we’ve detected a hunter by.

831
00:45:58,890 –> 00:46:00,610
It’s one of the options for
setup.

832
00:46:00,690 –> 00:46:06,410
Yeah, custom regular hunter by.
His cloud is like a poison rain

833
00:46:06,490 –> 00:46:07,730
cloud.
Yeah, it’s just raining.

834
00:46:08,410 –> 00:46:11,530
It’s just like you open up, you
log into your cloud that just

835
00:46:11,530 –> 00:46:17,330
descends upon this laptop.
The problem here isn’t so much

836
00:46:17,330 –> 00:46:21,090
what’s in the emails that the
New York Post reported on, at

837
00:46:21,090 –> 00:46:24,130
least for Republicans.
The problem is what’s not in the

838
00:46:24,130 –> 00:46:26,050
emails.
Yeah, for one thing, there

839
00:46:26,050 –> 00:46:29,760
aren’t any allegations that
haven’t been made before, right?

840
00:46:40,760 –> 00:46:43,320
I mean, to be fair, nothing
interesting was happening in the

841
00:46:43,320 –> 00:46:32,640
Ukraine in 2013 to 2014.
He’s been working in Ukraine

842
00:46:32,640 –> 00:46:35,840
since 2014.
You think no one has ever

843
00:46:35,840 –> 00:46:39,360
questioned if Hunter Biden was
maybe trying to leverage Dad to

844
00:46:39,360 –> 00:46:47,800
make extra money?
Yeah, that’s They didn’t have

845
00:46:47,800 –> 00:46:49,640
any bigger fish.
Didn’t have anything else to

846
00:46:49,640 –> 00:46:53,260
look at in that region, but it’s
that a lot of outlets have

847
00:46:53,260 –> 00:46:57,260
reported on this already.
There was a 2015 New York Times

848
00:46:57,260 –> 00:47:00,460
article called Joe Biden His Son
and the Case Against the

849
00:47:00,460 –> 00:47:04,140
Ukrainian Oligarch.
And that was all about how

850
00:47:04,140 –> 00:47:08,340
Hunter Biden’s association with
Burisma undermined the Obama

851
00:47:08,340 –> 00:47:11,500
Biden crusade against corruption
in Ukraine.

852
00:47:11,880 –> 00:47:16,240
And yeah, yeah, it sure does.
But say so back then also, no

853
00:47:16,240 –> 00:47:18,680
one was like, let’s impeach
Obama over it, right?

854
00:47:18,840 –> 00:47:22,400
It doesn’t rise to that level,
Yeah, of corruption.

855
00:47:22,400 –> 00:47:24,200
Because for one thing, they
can’t prove it.

856
00:47:24,360 –> 00:47:27,720
Yeah, I mean, and again, like if
your scandal isn’t even making

857
00:47:27,720 –> 00:47:30,760
waves pre Trump, right?
I just don’t know how you’re

858
00:47:30,760 –> 00:47:35,320
expecting the same scandal to
land with any sort of

859
00:47:35,560 –> 00:47:39,320
effectiveness.
Yeah, like, note how the right

860
00:47:39,320 –> 00:47:42,330
didn’t jump on that scandal in
2015.

861
00:47:42,330 –> 00:47:45,170
Yeah, like that.
It would have been a prime

862
00:47:45,170 –> 00:47:46,690
opportunity to do.
Absolutely.

863
00:47:46,690 –> 00:47:51,570
The the primary was winding up.
There was also, in 2019, a New

864
00:47:51,570 –> 00:47:54,650
Yorker profile called Will
Hunter Biden Jeopardize his

865
00:47:54,650 –> 00:47:57,690
father’s campaign?
And it raised all the same

866
00:47:57,770 –> 00:48:00,530
concerns.
But they characterized it more

867
00:48:00,530 –> 00:48:05,130
as what I think it might be,
which is Joe Biden’s unruly kid

868
00:48:05,130 –> 00:48:07,970
just running around kind of
doing whatever the fuck he wants

869
00:48:07,970 –> 00:48:10,410
because his dad is vice
president, President or

870
00:48:10,410 –> 00:48:13,250
president, or was was he a
senator before the.

871
00:48:13,290 –> 00:48:15,810
Senator Yeah.
And that’s kind of what it seems

872
00:48:15,810 –> 00:48:18,730
like this is.
I mean, like, once you start

873
00:48:18,730 –> 00:48:21,810
going down that road, you’re
just going to eventually have to

874
00:48:22,090 –> 00:48:27,410
either arrest every senator’s
kid or indict every senator was

875
00:48:27,410 –> 00:48:30,730
like, at a certain point, like,
they’re all rich kids who grew

876
00:48:30,730 –> 00:48:32,650
up in immense privilege.
Yeah.

877
00:48:32,650 –> 00:48:34,890
So there’s going to be some bad
behavior there.

878
00:48:34,890 –> 00:48:36,410
Obviously, some of them are
older, whatever.

879
00:48:36,410 –> 00:48:40,890
But, and that all segues nicely
into the next thing that isn’t

880
00:48:40,930 –> 00:48:44,530
in these emails that the New
York Post reported on, which is

881
00:48:44,690 –> 00:48:49,130
smoking gun proof that Joe Biden
knew, yeah, his son was doing

882
00:48:49,130 –> 00:48:50,610
this.
There’s none of that.

883
00:48:50,610 –> 00:48:55,130
No, like, there’s not a single
e-mail from Hunter to his dad

884
00:48:55,210 –> 00:48:57,610
that’s like, hey, here’s what
we’re doing with Burisma.

885
00:48:57,610 –> 00:49:01,610
Yeah, and I can’t imagine it’s
because Hunter Biden’s too smart

886
00:49:01,610 –> 00:49:04,370
for them.
Like he fired off all these

887
00:49:04,370 –> 00:49:06,330
emails.
Yeah, as we’ve established.

888
00:49:06,660 –> 00:49:10,260
It’s just literally the only
brains that he had in his head.

889
00:49:10,620 –> 00:49:13,180
Told him to call his dad.
My guy?

890
00:49:13,340 –> 00:49:15,060
Yeah.
That’s it.

891
00:49:15,140 –> 00:49:17,100
That’s his the most security he
had.

892
00:49:17,460 –> 00:49:21,700
Like, even if people didn’t
figure it out, like if this came

893
00:49:21,700 –> 00:49:24,420
up in an investigation,
someone’s going to sit you down

894
00:49:24,420 –> 00:49:25,780
and be like, who the fuck’s my
guy?

895
00:49:25,820 –> 00:49:28,060
Right?
And then he’s going to say my

896
00:49:28,060 –> 00:49:28,940
dad.
And they’re going to be like,

897
00:49:29,020 –> 00:49:30,620
oh, sure, that makes sense.
Yeah.

898
00:49:30,620 –> 00:49:32,780
Oh, right.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

899
00:49:33,370 –> 00:49:35,170
And here’s the thing.
It’s not that those emails are

900
00:49:35,170 –> 00:49:37,490
fake.
The emails are almost certainly

901
00:49:37,490 –> 00:49:40,930
real.
There was a book published, I

902
00:49:40,930 –> 00:49:43,570
think, in 2021, maybe even this
year.

903
00:49:43,650 –> 00:49:47,210
It’s called The Biden’s Inside
the 1st Family’s 50 Year Rise to

904
00:49:47,210 –> 00:49:49,810
Power.
It’s written by a former

905
00:49:49,810 –> 00:49:54,450
Politico reporter, so definitely
not a Trump supporter.

906
00:49:54,730 –> 00:49:57,730
Definitely not someone who you,
if you’re on the right, not

907
00:49:57,730 –> 00:50:01,090
someone you’re expecting to go
hard, right at the Biden family.

908
00:50:01,130 –> 00:50:06,330
And he did basically say in this
book that those emails are real.

909
00:50:06,410 –> 00:50:08,650
Yeah.
And I don’t doubt that they’re

910
00:50:08,650 –> 00:50:11,650
real.
The thing is, people pushing

911
00:50:11,650 –> 00:50:15,530
this or being a little
impatient, Yeah, like if the FBI

912
00:50:15,530 –> 00:50:19,930
sees the laptop and still hasn’t
said anything, yeah, there could

913
00:50:19,930 –> 00:50:21,890
be something there.
For sure.

914
00:50:21,890 –> 00:50:24,730
I mean absolutely.
I think people think that things

915
00:50:24,730 –> 00:50:28,570
just move it like a hyper pace
right now because it seems like

916
00:50:28,570 –> 00:50:30,690
things do.
But you know, especially with

917
00:50:30,690 –> 00:50:32,530
the FBI, they’ll take their
sweet time.

918
00:50:32,610 –> 00:50:35,090
Yeah, you know, they’ll they’ll
sit on something if they think

919
00:50:35,090 –> 00:50:38,930
they can, you know, use it to
their advantage at any moment.

920
00:50:38,970 –> 00:50:40,890
But I don’t know.
I just don’t understand.

921
00:50:40,970 –> 00:50:44,610
How this was ever going to be
the scandal that they wanted to

922
00:50:44,610 –> 00:50:45,610
be.
Yeah.

923
00:50:45,610 –> 00:50:48,810
And another thing about them
saying there’s this media cover

924
00:50:48,810 –> 00:50:51,610
up.
NBC did an article about what

925
00:50:51,610 –> 00:50:53,890
happened when they tried to
cover this.

926
00:50:54,010 –> 00:50:57,490
And what happened is they
reached out to Giuliani and they

927
00:50:57,490 –> 00:50:59,090
were like, we’ll give us the
hard drive.

928
00:50:59,090 –> 00:51:01,450
Let us see the hard drive or
give us a copy of the hard

929
00:51:01,450 –> 00:51:01,930
drive.
Yeah.

930
00:51:02,250 –> 00:51:05,050
And he was like, no, but you can
come look at what’s on it.

931
00:51:05,170 –> 00:51:08,810
And they were like, that doesn’t
give us the opportunity to,

932
00:51:08,810 –> 00:51:12,930
like, give this evidence the
forensic examination it needs.

933
00:51:12,970 –> 00:51:14,570
Yeah.
So that’s not going to be

934
00:51:14,570 –> 00:51:16,570
enough.
And then they said, we’ll at

935
00:51:16,570 –> 00:51:19,530
least give us the emails.
And he was like, I’ll give you

936
00:51:19,530 –> 00:51:20,570
some emails.
Yeah.

937
00:51:20,770 –> 00:51:23,050
And it’s like, well, why not
turn over all the emails?

938
00:51:23,890 –> 00:51:26,730
Like what?
Like, if you’re so insistent

939
00:51:26,730 –> 00:51:30,170
that the mainstream media should
be covering this, when they come

940
00:51:30,170 –> 00:51:32,410
to you, just give them the same
information.

941
00:51:32,410 –> 00:51:35,610
Yeah.
That John Paul Mack Isaac gave

942
00:51:35,610 –> 00:51:37,090
you.
It’s simple math.

943
00:51:37,570 –> 00:51:40,330
If this is if yeah, if this is
so incriminating, just.

944
00:51:40,680 –> 00:51:44,960
Just tell it like, just why?
Why be so sneaky about it in a

945
00:51:44,960 –> 00:51:48,720
weird way and pushy, you know,
just kind of like, hey, we

946
00:51:48,720 –> 00:51:49,760
gotta, we gotta move this
through.

947
00:51:49,760 –> 00:51:52,840
We want to get, we want to get
some real charges going at ASAP.

948
00:51:53,040 –> 00:51:55,200
We really want to, we really
want to get this done.

949
00:51:55,360 –> 00:51:57,440
I don’t understand what the rush
is.

950
00:51:57,440 –> 00:52:01,200
Yeah, because it’s not like
Biden is being a particularly

951
00:52:01,200 –> 00:52:03,920
effective president.
Yeah, he’s he’s not doing

952
00:52:03,920 –> 00:52:06,680
himself any favor.
Yes, So it doesn’t seem like.

953
00:52:07,070 –> 00:52:09,950
You know it’s going to be
disastrous to people on the

954
00:52:09,950 –> 00:52:13,750
right if he is in office for
another year or whatever.

955
00:52:13,790 –> 00:52:17,030
Yeah, and before he either
croaks or is impeached.

956
00:52:17,390 –> 00:52:21,510
And yeah, just to bring it back
to a point that we talked about

957
00:52:21,550 –> 00:52:24,600
early on in this episode, it’s
really hard.

958
00:52:24,640 –> 00:52:27,600
If you’re a Trump supporter,
it’s going to be really hard to

959
00:52:27,600 –> 00:52:32,200
sell the left on a story about
the president enriching himself.

960
00:52:32,240 –> 00:52:35,360
Yeah, His office.
Yeah, that’s all Trump did.

961
00:52:35,520 –> 00:52:37,560
And you have to acknowledge
that.

962
00:52:37,560 –> 00:52:41,480
Absolutely, if you’re one of the
people who wanted this scandal

963
00:52:41,480 –> 00:52:47,640
to bring down Joe Biden.
I know who Eric Trump is, and I

964
00:52:47,640 –> 00:52:49,920
should not have to know that.
No.

965
00:52:49,920 –> 00:52:54,930
There’s no earthly reason.
That a person at my level should

966
00:52:55,010 –> 00:52:58,090
ever have to know that Eric
Trump is a person.

967
00:52:58,090 –> 00:53:00,970
You remember how long it took to
find out Bill Clinton had a fuck

968
00:53:00,970 –> 00:53:03,970
up brother?
Oh my God, yes, that took a

969
00:53:04,010 –> 00:53:06,210
while.
Yeah, they really kept him

970
00:53:06,210 –> 00:53:08,850
secret.
They did and they didn’t.

971
00:53:09,810 –> 00:53:13,610
Trump, you know, to his credit,
I guess it’s his whole appeal,

972
00:53:13,610 –> 00:53:18,490
Has no shame.
So he’s not, you know, ashamed

973
00:53:18,490 –> 00:53:23,530
at all of his fail sons.
Who he hates, Yeah, and I think

974
00:53:23,530 –> 00:53:27,290
if people on the right are under
the impression that the other

975
00:53:27,290 –> 00:53:30,970
side wants to shield the Biden’s
from this and wouldn’t want to

976
00:53:30,970 –> 00:53:36,250
see them face any consequences
for this, ask Al Franken if

977
00:53:36,250 –> 00:53:40,410
that’s true.
Yeah, like Al Franken, probably.

978
00:53:40,410 –> 00:53:44,450
I mean, I get that Joe Biden
won, but Al Franken probably was

979
00:53:44,450 –> 00:53:47,330
the person on the left that
would have handled Trump the

980
00:53:47,330 –> 00:53:51,490
best in a debate.
Yeah, maybe.

981
00:53:51,610 –> 00:53:54,450
And there were no qualms about
firing that guy.

982
00:53:54,730 –> 00:53:59,450
Like, so if you think people are
gonna have a problem with Hunter

983
00:53:59,450 –> 00:54:02,810
Biden going to prison or any
consequences over this, that’s

984
00:54:02,810 –> 00:54:05,090
insane.
Yeah, I’d love to see it.

985
00:54:05,690 –> 00:54:10,170
I mean, for sure, whatever.
I any like tragedy.

986
00:54:10,170 –> 00:54:12,250
Not tragedy.
I don’t want to say that, but

987
00:54:12,250 –> 00:54:18,770
you know, any misfortune that
might become him or his kid,

988
00:54:19,170 –> 00:54:21,690
especially this kid in
particular, seems like a real

989
00:54:22,050 –> 00:54:24,050
piece of work.
You know, I’m not really going

990
00:54:24,050 –> 00:54:29,210
to be too torn up about it.
I might, like, barely read the

991
00:54:29,210 –> 00:54:32,370
article about it.
Yeah, just doesn’t affect me at

992
00:54:32,370 –> 00:54:33,230
all.
Yeah.

993
00:54:33,350 –> 00:54:37,950
Here’s I think one of the big
differences between the left and

994
00:54:37,950 –> 00:54:40,510
the right.
And people on the right don’t

995
00:54:40,550 –> 00:54:45,430
want to accept it.
But if Joe Biden were to be,

996
00:54:45,990 –> 00:54:49,870
let’s say, Bill Clinton, if, if
it were proven that Bill Clinton

997
00:54:50,310 –> 00:54:55,510
was engaging in acts of
pedophilia with Jeffrey Epstein,

998
00:54:55,750 –> 00:54:59,750
Jeffrey Epstein’s island, and it
was proven and he went to prison

999
00:54:59,750 –> 00:55:03,220
over it, people on the right
would take to the streets and

1000
00:55:03,220 –> 00:55:05,380
cheer, and so would people on
the left.

1001
00:55:06,540 –> 00:55:08,740
Now let Trump get arrested for
that right.

1002
00:55:08,940 –> 00:55:11,980
People on the left are going to
take to the streets and cheer.

1003
00:55:12,300 –> 00:55:15,220
People on the right will burn
this country to the fucking

1004
00:55:15,500 –> 00:55:21,650
ground, even if it is
definitively proven that Trump

1005
00:55:21,730 –> 00:55:25,810
was having sex with children at
Jeffrey Epstein’s house, right?

1006
00:55:25,890 –> 00:55:30,210
The right would burn this
fucking country to the ground if

1007
00:55:30,210 –> 00:55:33,850
Trump was arrested for it.
Yeah, and that’s a problem.

1008
00:55:34,010 –> 00:55:36,810
Yeah, it’s a problem.
But it’s also, it’s just

1009
00:55:36,810 –> 00:55:41,170
interesting how rarely with this
fact in mind, which I think is a

1010
00:55:41,170 –> 00:55:45,890
fairly common knowledge, I think
most people, if you ask them on

1011
00:55:45,890 –> 00:55:49,210
the street, like, do you think
that there’s some sort of like?

1012
00:55:49,570 –> 00:55:53,170
Hypocrisy differential between
the left and the right.

1013
00:55:53,410 –> 00:55:54,730
I think people would generally
agree.

1014
00:55:54,770 –> 00:55:57,250
I know the left actually
absolutely cares more about

1015
00:55:57,250 –> 00:56:01,410
being hypocrites than the right.
Yeah, but at the same time, the

1016
00:56:01,410 –> 00:56:05,770
right wing leadership seems to
have no fundamental

1017
00:56:05,770 –> 00:56:09,690
understanding of this at all.
They never attacked from the

1018
00:56:09,690 –> 00:56:14,890
left, even though that would be
so effective, especially right

1019
00:56:14,890 –> 00:56:18,170
now.
Like if they had attacked Biden

1020
00:56:18,210 –> 00:56:22,290
from the left.
On the crime bills on like so

1021
00:56:22,290 –> 00:56:26,050
much of his history as a
senator, like same with Harris.

1022
00:56:26,050 –> 00:56:29,530
If they had gone after her for
how she acted as a prosecutor in

1023
00:56:29,530 –> 00:56:33,530
California and how she treated
unhoused families, especially in

1024
00:56:33,530 –> 00:56:36,730
San Francisco, like she, that
would be it for her.

1025
00:56:36,890 –> 00:56:40,090
She would be done.
And like a few people on the

1026
00:56:40,090 –> 00:56:43,110
left.
Making a fuss about that, you

1027
00:56:43,110 –> 00:56:46,750
know, to the average, you know,
liberal is just like, oh,

1028
00:56:46,750 –> 00:56:49,350
they’re just bitching and never
happy about anything.

1029
00:56:49,710 –> 00:56:53,150
But if you know, if enough of a
noise came from it from the

1030
00:56:53,150 –> 00:56:57,590
right, you know, even like major
Republican leaders, it would

1031
00:56:57,590 –> 00:57:00,230
make them look better for a lot
of people because they’re

1032
00:57:00,430 –> 00:57:02,830
expressing positive views on
things that matter.

1033
00:57:03,310 –> 00:57:08,070
And it would totally wreck a
politician’s career.

1034
00:57:08,420 –> 00:57:13,340
And they just seem to either be
unable or unwilling to do that.

1035
00:57:13,860 –> 00:57:15,820
Yeah.
And that’s, I mean, I wouldn’t

1036
00:57:15,820 –> 00:57:19,500
say it’s unfortunate.
No, it’s not unfortunate for me.

1037
00:57:19,500 –> 00:57:23,420
But it’s actually like lucky.
It’s like the only lucky thing

1038
00:57:23,420 –> 00:57:26,020
happening in in, like, politics
for us right now.

1039
00:57:26,380 –> 00:57:28,900
Yeah, because those are the
arguments people on the left

1040
00:57:28,900 –> 00:57:31,340
were making about Kamala Harris
and Joe Biden.

1041
00:57:32,510 –> 00:57:36,310
And like if if you if you voted
for Trump and your argument is

1042
00:57:36,310 –> 00:57:39,430
well, the left didn’t present us
with any good options,

1043
00:57:39,590 –> 00:57:41,470
understand most of the left
agrees.

1044
00:57:41,470 –> 00:57:46,830
Yes, 100%.
We had one good candidate in our

1045
00:57:46,830 –> 00:57:49,190
last primary.
Yeah, And we had one OK

1046
00:57:49,190 –> 00:57:51,910
candidate.
Yeah, and that is basically it.

1047
00:57:51,910 –> 00:57:56,990
Everybody else was garbage.
Yeah, it just none of that means

1048
00:57:57,110 –> 00:58:01,800
COVID is fake for that fucking
the election was.

1049
00:58:01,840 –> 00:58:03,880
Raised.
It’s just it’s, I mean it’s the

1050
00:58:04,080 –> 00:58:09,280
problem that has been spiraling
out since 2015 and maybe even I

1051
00:58:09,280 –> 00:58:13,920
mean earlier but this.
So I would say this like failure

1052
00:58:13,920 –> 00:58:19,330
of the common idea of reality.
Is is more recent than, you

1053
00:58:19,330 –> 00:58:22,770
know, September 11th, which is
the root cause of most of the

1054
00:58:22,770 –> 00:58:24,210
evil shit that’s happening right
now.

1055
00:58:24,250 –> 00:58:28,090
Yeah, but like this whole thing
where it’s just so often, so

1056
00:58:28,090 –> 00:58:31,490
many people are like connected
to a, like a totally different

1057
00:58:31,490 –> 00:58:33,410
understanding of how the world
works.

1058
00:58:33,690 –> 00:58:37,570
And that is a difficult way to
organize a society.

1059
00:58:37,890 –> 00:58:42,090
You know, like, I don’t.
I don’t want to have, like,

1060
00:58:42,250 –> 00:58:45,250
negative personal feelings about
people who act like.

1061
00:58:45,790 –> 00:58:47,670
Have a political belief or
whatever.

1062
00:58:47,670 –> 00:58:50,150
I think it’s okay to have
differing political beliefs.

1063
00:58:50,150 –> 00:58:52,550
To me.
I differ with people who don’t

1064
00:58:52,550 –> 00:58:54,950
hate me all the time and they’re
Democrats.

1065
00:58:55,430 –> 00:58:59,270
Yeah, but, like, it’s just
insane that so many people just

1066
00:58:59,270 –> 00:59:01,670
seem to not see the world the
same way.

1067
00:59:01,670 –> 00:59:04,070
I do not even like in that the
cliche way.

1068
00:59:04,230 –> 00:59:07,060
Just like in literally like.
Is the sky purple?

1069
00:59:07,060 –> 00:59:09,340
Is it like?
I don’t understand.

1070
00:59:09,460 –> 00:59:11,980
Yeah.
And it’s it’s kind of hit a

1071
00:59:11,980 –> 00:59:17,020
point on our side of things
where it’s not really enough to

1072
00:59:17,020 –> 00:59:19,500
be like, well, I don’t.
Me and that person don’t talk

1073
00:59:19,500 –> 00:59:23,060
about politics, right.
Like, I get they probably have

1074
00:59:23,060 –> 00:59:25,180
some shaky politics, but we just
fucking don’t.

1075
00:59:25,540 –> 00:59:27,420
You can’t even tell people that
anymore.

1076
00:59:27,500 –> 00:59:31,560
It’s like you have to know
people’s opinions and react to

1077
00:59:31,560 –> 00:59:33,640
them and that’s why I fucking
hate social media.

1078
00:59:33,680 –> 00:59:37,400
I definitely want to know
people’s opinions on everything.

1079
00:59:37,680 –> 00:59:40,200
I definitely agree with that.
I not only do I not want to

1080
00:59:40,200 –> 00:59:45,800
know, I don’t think that we as a
species are capable of

1081
00:59:45,840 –> 00:59:47,960
containing that kind of
information.

1082
00:59:48,000 –> 00:59:50,160
Yeah.
And that it is kind of breaking

1083
00:59:50,160 –> 00:59:53,400
our brains, which is kind of
what’s happening, I mean, but

1084
00:59:53,560 –> 00:59:56,360
even more so.
Like, the problem is that so

1085
00:59:56,360 –> 01:00:00,000
often the politics that people
don’t want to discuss.

1086
01:00:00,640 –> 01:00:05,640
Are things that are life or
death to like a lot of people’s

1087
01:00:05,640 –> 01:00:10,240
immediate lives.
And so as a defense mechanism,

1088
01:00:10,360 –> 01:00:14,160
you have to try to understand
what the people around you is

1089
01:00:14,160 –> 01:00:19,800
political police are, because
now like a mainstream political

1090
01:00:19,800 –> 01:00:24,920
belief is just straight fascism
and that’s dangerous.

1091
01:00:25,380 –> 01:00:28,180
Yeah, it’s at the point where we
do kind of need to know that’s

1092
01:00:28,180 –> 01:00:30,300
and it sucks.
It really does.

1093
01:00:30,300 –> 01:00:33,340
But like I don’t understand.
I don’t know how we come back

1094
01:00:33,340 –> 01:00:35,580
from that, I guess.
I mean, it’s probably gonna take

1095
01:00:35,580 –> 01:00:37,820
a war.
Yeah, something like it.

1096
01:00:37,820 –> 01:00:40,980
There’s gonna be some really
bloody upheaval in this country

1097
01:00:40,980 –> 01:00:43,860
that’ll fix everything.
It’s gonna be interesting to see

1098
01:00:43,860 –> 01:00:45,740
what happens with this Russia
thing.

1099
01:00:45,860 –> 01:00:50,340
Oh yeah, It seems like people
are already like the world is

1100
01:00:50,340 –> 01:00:53,940
already gearing up.
Yeah, I mean like, you know,

1101
01:00:53,980 –> 01:00:57,780
this would probably have to be
its own whole episode, but I

1102
01:00:57,820 –> 01:01:00,620
that just, you know, that has a
lot of potential.

1103
01:01:00,940 –> 01:01:05,860
You know, in a lot of ways that
I feel like I don’t know, it’s

1104
01:01:05,860 –> 01:01:08,540
see it seems both like everybody
is just kind of resigned

1105
01:01:08,540 –> 01:01:12,500
themselves to there’s definitely
going to be a war or everybody’s

1106
01:01:12,500 –> 01:01:15,100
just like I can’t look at it.
I don’t want to talk about it.

1107
01:01:15,420 –> 01:01:16,870
I can’t think about it.
Yeah.

1108
01:01:16,870 –> 01:01:21,910
We did an episode a couple years
ago about where World War Three

1109
01:01:21,910 –> 01:01:23,430
is most likely to start.
Yeah.

1110
01:01:23,430 –> 01:01:25,510
Next.
And that was definitely on the

1111
01:01:25,510 –> 01:01:26,310
list.
Yes.

1112
01:01:26,310 –> 01:01:26,670
Is.
Yeah.

1113
01:01:26,750 –> 01:01:29,630
In that region, in it, it feels
like we’re ready.

1114
01:01:29,710 –> 01:01:33,270
Yeah, feels like we as a world
are ready for if we want to be,

1115
01:01:33,630 –> 01:01:36,310
we want a big war.
I mean, like the like.

1116
01:01:36,390 –> 01:01:38,990
But again, this is like just a
whole other thing.

1117
01:01:38,990 –> 01:01:41,630
But what shape does that even
look like now?

1118
01:01:41,630 –> 01:01:46,200
Like, we just don’t even know.
And like China might get

1119
01:01:46,200 –> 01:01:49,400
involved on Russia’s side.
And if that happens, then like

1120
01:01:49,400 –> 01:01:53,160
we should just not even try to.
Fight.

1121
01:01:53,320 –> 01:01:56,280
We really shouldn’t.
It would just cause more pain.

1122
01:01:56,560 –> 01:02:01,040
And here’s the thing.
Here’s my I can’t imagine.

1123
01:02:01,480 –> 01:02:05,680
Any right wing types are still
listening but if you are here is

1124
01:02:05,680 –> 01:02:10,560
in across the aisle olive branch
that ioffer up to people all the

1125
01:02:10,560 –> 01:02:14,600
time when it comes to Trump.
I think Trump was legitimately

1126
01:02:14,600 –> 01:02:20,840
anti war or wasn’t pro war
enough for the Republican

1127
01:02:20,920 –> 01:02:24,320
establishment.
I think it’s more accurate to

1128
01:02:24,320 –> 01:02:30,400
say that he understood wars Tool
like use as a tool of public

1129
01:02:30,400 –> 01:02:33,420
opinion.
Yeah, and was willing to rattle

1130
01:02:33,420 –> 01:02:37,620
the Saber.
Enough to get his side, you

1131
01:02:37,620 –> 01:02:40,940
know, get their blood red, get
their Dicks hard, But not enough

1132
01:02:40,940 –> 01:02:44,500
to actually have to do anything
that might make people not like

1133
01:02:44,500 –> 01:02:46,900
him.
Right, which is his whole vibe

1134
01:02:46,900 –> 01:02:49,780
throughout the entire presidency
is I want to do as much crazy

1135
01:02:49,780 –> 01:02:52,980
shit as I can, but I don’t want
anybody to not like me.

1136
01:02:53,470 –> 01:02:56,270
Yeah, I think that’s why John
Bolton left.

1137
01:02:56,470 –> 01:02:59,030
I think probably.
I think Bolton wanted, yeah, to

1138
01:02:59,030 –> 01:03:02,750
go to war with Iran.
That was the vibe that I got,

1139
01:03:02,750 –> 01:03:06,270
definitely, because that
happened right after a bunch of

1140
01:03:06,270 –> 01:03:09,350
Iran tension.
Yeah, and what makes me

1141
01:03:09,350 –> 01:03:12,310
uncomfortable as I don’t feel
that from Biden?

1142
01:03:12,310 –> 01:03:14,910
Well, no.
Biden will go to war because,

1143
01:03:14,990 –> 01:03:19,750
especially because he has failed
conclusively on the home threat

1144
01:03:19,830 –> 01:03:23,380
with COVID, just fully, his
administration has fully failed

1145
01:03:23,380 –> 01:03:24,700
to meet that challenge.
Yeah.

1146
01:03:24,980 –> 01:03:30,260
And he needs a big win.
And he is old.

1147
01:03:30,380 –> 01:03:34,420
And so he thinks, well, the way
you get a big win to go do a

1148
01:03:34,420 –> 01:03:36,540
little.
Warren, there’s just like a lot

1149
01:03:36,540 –> 01:03:39,780
of weird shit in the air when it
comes to the possible war.

1150
01:03:40,170 –> 01:03:43,290
But I definitely don’t see it
not backfiring.

1151
01:03:43,290 –> 01:03:45,210
Like, I don’t know in what way
it will.

1152
01:03:45,530 –> 01:03:49,290
But I definitely know getting
into any sort of military

1153
01:03:49,290 –> 01:03:53,370
action, even if we never call
anything war anymore because we

1154
01:03:53,370 –> 01:03:57,090
don’t go through the Congress
talking about expanded executive

1155
01:03:57,090 –> 01:03:59,890
authority.
But, like, I don’t know.

1156
01:03:59,890 –> 01:04:03,930
I There’s no way that any sort
of aggressive action will not

1157
01:04:04,250 –> 01:04:07,650
totally blow up in his face,
because his administration has

1158
01:04:07,650 –> 01:04:11,330
not shown itself capable of
handling mass crises.

1159
01:04:11,330 –> 01:04:14,530
And that’s what a war is
basically an extended mass

1160
01:04:14,530 –> 01:04:17,450
crisis, just focused.
It sure is.

1161
01:04:17,530 –> 01:04:20,690
Hopefully there’s something on
his kids laptop that’ll Jesus

1162
01:04:20,690 –> 01:04:22,690
get us through all this.
Yeah, absolutely.

1163
01:04:22,690 –> 01:04:25,250
Before we wrap it up, I do want
to mention one more thing that

1164
01:04:25,250 –> 01:04:27,650
people are going to howl about
if I don’t mention it.

1165
01:04:28,010 –> 01:04:32,130
Yes, the FBI seized a second
laptop from Hunter Biden.

1166
01:04:32,250 –> 01:04:36,850
But here’s the thing.
Yeah, it was seized as part of

1167
01:04:37,130 –> 01:04:43,690
an investigation into a.
Celebrity psychiatrist in New

1168
01:04:43,690 –> 01:04:45,330
York, Somewhere on the East
Coast?

1169
01:04:45,370 –> 01:04:50,010
Yeah, Who was being investigated
for having improper

1170
01:04:50,010 –> 01:04:54,850
relationships with his patients
and over prescribing mental

1171
01:04:54,850 –> 01:04:56,370
health drugs.
Cool.

1172
01:04:56,650 –> 01:05:00,790
And somehow.
Hunter Biden ended up in that

1173
01:05:00,790 –> 01:05:02,950
guy’s office.
I forgot his laptop there.

1174
01:05:03,350 –> 01:05:06,870
No idea what Hunter Biden would
be doing at that guy’s office,

1175
01:05:07,590 –> 01:05:11,070
but he left his laptop there.
The FBI seized it, and they gave

1176
01:05:11,070 –> 01:05:15,070
that one back to him.
I mean, look, I don’t think that

1177
01:05:15,070 –> 01:05:19,710
this is like a huge scandal.
It may or may not be a true

1178
01:05:19,710 –> 01:05:21,840
story.
I do think it sounds like a good

1179
01:05:21,840 –> 01:05:24,280
Coen brothers movie.
There’s a lot of really sure

1180
01:05:24,280 –> 01:05:26,280
does so many characters going on
here.

1181
01:05:26,680 –> 01:05:30,160
So just a reminder, Speaking of
the FBI, they still have Hunter

1182
01:05:30,160 –> 01:05:33,720
Biden’s laptop.
And so far the only thing

1183
01:05:33,720 –> 01:05:36,080
they’ve confirmed, which is
interesting, is that they

1184
01:05:36,080 –> 01:05:39,200
haven’t found evidence of
Russian misinformation.

1185
01:05:39,720 –> 01:05:43,560
Because that was one of the
concerns is that, well, someone

1186
01:05:43,560 –> 01:05:47,680
could have stolen this laptop
from Hunter Biden and put some

1187
01:05:47,680 –> 01:05:51,020
incriminating shit.
Sure, in there with the real

1188
01:05:51,020 –> 01:05:53,300
stuff and then drop this thing.
But that.

1189
01:05:53,380 –> 01:05:55,940
I know Russia’s great.
Yeah, at this stuff.

1190
01:05:55,940 –> 01:05:59,860
But for this to work, you have.
Who tipped them off to the blind

1191
01:05:59,860 –> 01:06:02,260
computer shop?
That’s a good touch.

1192
01:06:02,260 –> 01:06:05,700
Because that is a key component
to this store that’s huge.

1193
01:06:05,820 –> 01:06:13,020
Also, I I feel like if anyone
faked these emails, surely they

1194
01:06:13,020 –> 01:06:15,900
could fake more incriminating
emails.

1195
01:06:16,620 –> 01:06:18,860
That’s always my feeling when
there’s something like this

1196
01:06:18,860 –> 01:06:22,980
where it’s like, but you still
put in like my guy, like.

1197
01:06:23,340 –> 01:06:26,980
Yeah, this just is sloppy if
you’re making this up.

1198
01:06:27,380 –> 01:06:29,900
And the other thing about this
scandal?

1199
01:06:30,020 –> 01:06:33,500
The FBI was already
investigating Hunter Biden like

1200
01:06:33,500 –> 01:06:36,580
they’re investigating for him
for his dealings in China.

1201
01:06:36,580 –> 01:06:39,100
So just hold your fucking
horses, people.

1202
01:06:39,100 –> 01:06:41,300
On the right.
Hunter Biden will go to prison

1203
01:06:41,300 –> 01:06:43,860
for something obvious.
He’ll probably go to prison.

1204
01:06:44,140 –> 01:06:49,740
You know, I like, I would say
the odds on Joe Biden finishing

1205
01:06:49,740 –> 01:06:53,620
his first term in office
regardless of outcome, like what

1206
01:06:53,620 –> 01:06:56,660
happens, I would say it’s less
than 5050.

1207
01:06:56,660 –> 01:07:00,020
It’s like a good, I would say
30% chance that it actually

1208
01:07:00,020 –> 01:07:02,900
happens.
And if nothing else, he’s not

1209
01:07:02,900 –> 01:07:06,140
gonna win if he runs in 2020,
Definitely not gonna win if he

1210
01:07:06,140 –> 01:07:08,180
runs.
And there’s no way he’s gonna

1211
01:07:08,180 –> 01:07:10,420
get anything done other than get
us.

1212
01:07:11,970 –> 01:07:14,690
Yeah.
So I mean, I guess you guys went

1213
01:07:14,690 –> 01:07:17,970
on that too.
Yeah, so just relax.

1214
01:07:18,010 –> 01:07:22,210
Fucking let’s just all take a
few years off and then we’ll get

1215
01:07:22,210 –> 01:07:25,450
back at it in 2024.
They should just enjoy the

1216
01:07:25,450 –> 01:07:29,580
Republican president and then,
you know, hope that they can get

1217
01:07:29,580 –> 01:07:32,580
their, you know, toy lunatic in
next time.

1218
01:07:32,580 –> 01:07:36,460
Get a more Republican president
is so I think that’s our

1219
01:07:36,460 –> 01:07:37,580
episode.
Sure.

1220
01:07:37,820 –> 01:07:40,980
That was this was lots of fun.
Thank you again for driving to

1221
01:07:40,980 –> 01:07:43,580
Los Angeles.
Just to record this, of course,

1222
01:07:43,580 –> 01:07:45,660
you know, it was a long couple
days.

1223
01:07:45,660 –> 01:07:48,140
It’s gonna be a long drive back.
Yeah, I did not sleep.

1224
01:07:48,140 –> 01:07:50,580
I will not sleep before heading
back.

1225
01:07:50,930 –> 01:07:53,730
Well, I demand that people not.
No, of course, no.

1226
01:07:53,770 –> 01:07:58,130
And so it’ll.
I consider the last 48 hours one

1227
01:07:58,130 –> 01:07:59,330
day.
Sure.

1228
01:07:59,450 –> 01:08:03,330
But yeah, no, it was tough and
but then no, I’m happy to be

1229
01:08:03,330 –> 01:08:04,090
here.
This was great.

1230
01:08:04,490 –> 01:08:07,650
Yeah, this was a lot of fun.
