your support. All righty, so, as I have outlined in
the first two hours of the program, Hunter Biden in
this first interview, and apparently it's the first time he
has sat for an interview in years, and he sat
for a long interview three hours with this guy named
Andrew Callahan. He's the host of his own YouTube channel
called Channel five. It's got like three and a half
million subscribers. He is of the left. He's been doing
documentaries and movies and videos and stuff for years. He
too said that he had problems with alcohol went into recovery,
and they talked for the first hour of the podcast
about the recovery. And I said at the beginning of
the show that actually the first hour I found to
be the most compelling. He was like, I felt like
I got to know Hunter Biden as as a person
a lot more in that first hour just listening to
him talk about his personal experiences, you know, battling alcoholism
and you know, the first time he he used crack
cocaine and that whole you know, the whole descent into
self destruction and all of that. It was actually very compelling.
But then the next two hours he just like he
he went off the rails on the politics stuff and
the inner Democrat Party machinery. And this is going to
cause some problems. I've been saying this for years, like
we are witnessing a realignment of the political parties. We
saw it first in the GOP. It is happening in
the Democrat Party now too. Unfortunately for the Democrat Party
and for America, that party is lurching further and further
and further towards the Marxist left and the you know,
the mayoral candidate up in New York is a perfect
example of where that party is apparently heading. Hunter Biden
lashed out at Democrat leaders, operatives, media personalities because he
says they derailed his father's reelection bid. He went after
David Axelrod, He went after Jake Tapper, He went after
the Podsave America podcast, which is hosted by three or
four former Obama guys. He went after George Clooney, He
went after James Carville, He went after Anita Done. Okay, So,
as I mentioned earlier, if you hear any audio clips
that for some reason like skip ahead and it sounds
like the audio clip got chopped up, it's because we
had to dump out because I watched the whole three
hour interview, so you didn't have to. You're welcome. I
know the word hero is overused in today's society, but okay, enough,
I watched the interview so you didn't have to. I
pulled the highlights out of it. But the guy curses incessantly, Okay,
and I think that means that he's running for DNC chairman. Okay,
that's not my joke. I totally stole that from It's
All a Distraction on Twitter. Gary on Twitter says, I
think Hunter is giving his best version of events to
paint the Biden family in the best light. There's clearly
some hate and divide between the Bidens and the Obama
bros and progressives. We should fund Hunter to tour and
keep driving that wedge, blow it all up to save
Daddy Joe. I like the way you're thinking, Gary, we
should get Hunter Biden to do a tour where he
just keeps saying these things, keep driving the wedge. This
is what democrats are doing with the whole Epstein file
stuff on the to to drive a wedge in maga world.
So yeah, like, get Hunter Biden on as many podcasts
as possible. I don't know if he would actually go
on an unfriendly one. I know he's got a pardon. See,
this is the danger that Hunter Biden poses is because
he can't be charged for the crimes that he committed
during the time period when Joe was vice president and
Hunter now had to be the guy who made all
the money for the family, as he said in his
own text messages to his sister or his niece, I forget.
So Hunter now claims nobody's ever brought charges based on
anything out of the laptop except for my drug use thing.
And he can say that because he knows he can't
be charged any longer because Daddy gave him the pardon.
So let me do this. What time is it here? Okay,
I got time for this clip. We'll do this before
the break. So the nastiest rant I think he was.
He went after, well, it's a tie Jake Tapper and
George Clooney. So first up is the rant against Clooney.
And he said it was one of Biden's body guys,
not secret service, but you got like a body guy
with you, you know, and they tell you, well you'll
hear him say it, but it was one of Biden's
body guys that told him. This is George Clooney and
Julia Roberts that introduced them. Remember, George Clooney made the
point that Biden didn't excuse me, Biden didn't recognize him,
and he had known him for decades. And then he
wrote the op ed. So here's hunter Biden's explanation for
that interaction.
Speaker 2: And you may have been filming him all day, and
he may know George for the last thirty years, and
he may have met him fifteen times. But the guy
on his shoulder, who's usually a military officer, has a
one job to say the name of the person that's
walking up. That's it. And George Clooney is now to
rationalize why he attempted to cut the knees out from
sitting president, the most successful president in the history of
his party in his life in terms of the legislative
policies that he wanted to see passed, had to justify
somehow him going above and beyond, to write an ophad
in the New York Times, try to force the sitting
president of the United States out of the race. And
so he makes up the story about how the president
had to be introduced to him. Oh, like he didn't
recognize George Clooney exactly because of like dementiason. I don't know,
that's the implication, right, yeah, like he's forgetting things. Yeah.
And by the way I remember this story is this
is that George Clooney wasn't going to show up to
that fundraiser, and he was. He was bitching to the
White House staff and to the people the senior staff.
Is that he was so angry that the President was
not would criticize the arrest warrant that was executed for
net Yahoo. And the President when asked, said would they
Arrestdant Yahoo if he came to the United States, And
he said he would not have the authority, nor would
he do that, and I guess George Clooney's wife was
the principal architect of that arrest, of that warrant for
net Yahoo. I don't judge that in one way or
another was the right thing or not. He was very
very angry that my dad did not I guess, like
pay homage to her or something. And I understand, you know,
defending your wife or something, but I mean I saw
the text messages that he wrote, you know, reims and
text messages like how dare he do that? And he
kept promising that he was going to embarrass the president
and pull out of the of the fundraiser.
Speaker 1: Well, now that's interesting. I did not see that one coming.
It was because of the Jews, right, that's it. Biden
refused to go along with this arrest warrant thing, this
this stunt that what's her name, what's the Clooney's wife's name,
I don't even know, but she was apparently the like
the person who like got this all together and made
that happen. And then when Biden said no, it angered Clooney.
And then he said I was gonna I'm gonna pull
out of the fundraiser. I'm gonna embarrass you and then
after the fundraiser, he writes the op ed. Interesting, that's
not the rant, though. The rant is up next. Here's
a great idea. How about making an escape to a
really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just
a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville
is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon,
maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get
family and friends together for a big old reunion, Cabins
of Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you

Hunter Biden doing this three hour interview on a podcast
or a YouTube channel, and he starts talking. He just
told the story about George Clooney, and now you know
Clooney wanted Biden, Joe Biden to sign on to this
arrest warrant and to say he would arrest Bibby neton
Yahoo when he shows up in New York or whatever.
Apparently that effort was orchestrated by Clooney's wife, and when
Joe said no, it hacked off George. George said, well,
then I'm not coming to your fundraiser, and he did
show up at the fundraiser. While at the fundraiser, you know,
Joe Biden's got this guy on his shoulder all the
time telling him who you know, Okay, oh, this is
the governor of New Mexico. And this is so and
so it's like everybody comes up to work the rope line,
shake the hands, get the pictures taken. And when George
Clooney and Julia Roberts approached, the body guy says George Clooney.
Julia Roberts right, and George Clooney. According to Hunter Biden,
George Clooney then turns that into an attack in an
op ed, saying that Joe didn't even recognize me, and
I've known him for fifteen years or whatever. And Hunter
Biden claimed to have seen all of these text messages
that George was all upset about the net and Yahoo
arrest warrant thing, crossing his wife. That's where we left it. Okay,
now this is where the rant begins. And again if
the audio cuts out, it's because I had to hit
the dumb button because I failed to edit out all
of the cursing that under Biden commits.
Speaker 2: Here him, Yeah, Kim, Kim and everybody around him. I
don't have to be freaking nice. Number one. I agree
with Quentin Tarantino. George Clooney is not an actor. He
is a like I don't know what he is. He's
a brand. And by the way, and God bless him.
You know what. He supposedly treats his friends really well,
you know what I mean, buys them things. And he's
got a really great place in Lake Como, and he's
great friends with Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Oh there's another reference. Notice he drops these references to
Obama in as he's savaging everybody in Obama world. But
he never calls out Obama himself. But that's another example
of it. All right, we resume with another f bomb here.
Speaker 2: You what do you have to do with anything? Why
do I have to listen to you? What right do
you have to step on a man who's given fifty
two years of his life to the services of this
country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to
take out a full page ad in the New York
Times to undermine the president at a time in which,
by the way, what do people care about the most?
Why do you think that the Republicans have an advantage
over us because they're unified, they won't go along with anything.
I wasn't asking anybody to go along with anything. I
was asking people to go along with this the most
successful administration in my lifetime. And I'm including the Obama administration.
I'm going to the Reagan administration. I'm including every administration
in my lifetime. We had gotten more done for the
agenda of the things that your generation and my generation
cared about than any president in the history. And we
didn't get it all done, but more than anybody else
with the slimmers majority ever, and everybody said that there's
no way that he's ever going to be able to
do that. And you know what George Clinty did because
he sat down, I guess because he was like given
the blessing by the Obama team or Obama people and
whoever else and David Axelrod and whoever the fails is
to go, Okay, yeah, you know what we're gonna we
are going to insert our judgment over years. We me
and James Carville, who hasn't run a race in forty years,
and David Axelrod, who had won success in his political life,
and that was Barack Obama. And that was because of
Barack Obama, not because of David Axelrod and David Pluff
and all of these guys in the Pod Save America,
guys who were junior fucking speech writers in on Barack
Obama's Senate staff who've been dining out on the relationship
with him for years, making millions of dollars, the Anita
Dunns of the world, who's made forty fifty million dollars
off the Democratic Party. They're all going to insert their
judgment over a man who has figured out, unlike anybody else,
how to get elected to the United States Senate over
seven times, how to pass more legislation than any president
in history, how to have a better midterm election than
anybody in history, and how to garner more votes than
any president that has ever won. And they're going to
replace their judgment for his.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they will, absolutely they That is what they did.
The pod bros David I don't know, Tommy Viator, I
don't even remember all of their names that are on
that podcast. But they then they were like no, Tommy
Vietor was like, oh, look, you need to understand, like
you were the major liability in your dad's presidency. Hunter,
you know you were on the board of Barisma because
of who your dad is. That's a direct quote from
Tommy Viator via Tour Via tour anyway. Jim Garretty a
National Review points out, I don't remember any Democrats agreeing
or concurring about anything about Hunter Biden's lucrative gigs with
foreign businessmen. That that's stunk to high heaven. Right, where
was all of Where was all of this, Tommy, when
when Joe Biden was president and these charges, these accusations
were coming out, these stories were coming out. But now
Hunter Biden attacks you guys, and now you're like, well,
you're on the board of Barisma. You were the liability
for your dad, so you did think there was something
wrong with that. Interesting because all we were told was
it's a story of a father's love. That's what we
got told. That's how we were gas lit. You know,

commentary coming in on the WBT text line driven by
Liberty Buick GMC people not signing their names, so I
don't know who to credit here. So this one person says,
a better question would have been what was Joe Biden
on during the State of the Union address when everybody
said he was so sharp and the best version of
Joe Biden. Ever, that's a good question. The interviewer did
not ask him that, but Hunter Biden claimed that it
was ambient that he had given him. That they had
given Joe Biden ambient because of because he was so
tired which is not something you would give somebody who
is tired, as somebody who wants to sleep but can't sleep.
But whatever, And by the way, they said they gave
it he Hunter Biden said they gave it to him
after his trip overseas, but that was like two weeks prior.
So it doesn't The timeline doesn't really make a lot
of sense. Hunter is not supposed to mention his sobriety
in a twelve step program due to anonymity. That's not true.
People who are in twelve step programs can they are
to talk about their sobriety and to be in a
twelve step program and they're in a program and they
talk about their sobriety and they go to meetings and
all of that. What mother or a wife would want
their child or spouse to go to a twelve step
program if he is the example, Well, I mean that's
a different question then. But I think any mother or wife,
or child or spouse would want their their loved one
to go to a program to get clean if that's
what they are wanting. I don't think like the program
didn't make Hunter Biden costs like a sailor. You know,
this is from a seven o four number, unnamed. You
know Trump's in trouble when Hunter Biden's laptop is the
topic of discussion, what's next Hillary's email server? Well, in fact,
actually yes, I do have that story as well, that
the FBI ignored key evidence in the Clinton email probe. Yeah,
I do have that. If I have time, I'll get
to it. Thank you for reminding me. Appreciate that this
is from an eighth three number. I'm finding your show
to be quite irrelevant today. Well, thank you eight three number,
if that is your real name, I appreciate that. I
do strive for irrelevancy. Seven four number says compelling is
such a sweet word. My adjective is disgusting that somebody,
with everything laid at his feet. Oh now the text
feed just bumped up, he chose to indulge in the
most base and illegal activities. Well, I mean that is
the thing about addiction. Doesn't care if you are from
a life of privilege or destitution. It does not matter.
David says, Hunter is insane. Seriously, Biden was the worst
president in my lifetime. And I'll turn sixty two soon.
Seven oh four number Hunter is one thousand percent correct
about George Clooney being hacked off that Biden didn't support
the arrest warrant. John in Jersey says Hunter was the
Billy Carter of the Biden administration. Yeah, Jack wants to
know if Ozzy Osbourne really did die, and he did.
He passed away today at the age of seventy six.
Next up, Hunter Biden then tears into oh, hang on
a second, did I have let me see, I think
I had, I did I have two more? This is
from Russ. I don't believe any of Hunter's characterizations of
Joe Biden's record, but I'm here for the infighting over
who is the more successful and beloved Democrat. Popcorn. Ready,
let's go, and Jeff says, I love hearing Hunter Biden
talking about somebody dining out on their relationship with Obama,
says the ne'er do Well who wrote his father's Coattails
of Influence like that. That's part of the problem is
when and Hunter Biden, then you know he went after
Eric Trump and oh my gosh, Jared, what's this. I'm
drawing a blank on his last name, Krishna, like the
no Jared Kirsner anyway, like all of the Trump deals
and overseas deal, all of the and the NFTs and
the gold Sneakers and all that, Like he just starts
attacking them like they're doing all this stuff. It's all
just what about ism, right coming from him, Like you're
not the person to be making these arguments, just like
you kind of don't have the leg to stand on
when you came from your background. Now you're going to
say that other people have hitched their wagon to Obama
and they're not really that great, they don't know what
they're doing and all this, Like he just minimizes them
because of their work for Obama and that Obama basically
was the star and they just all went along for
the ride. And maybe that's true, but you're not the
guy to make that case. Son of a senator and
vice president and president. You know, all right, if you're
listening to this show, you know I try to keep
up with all sorts of current events, and I know
you do too. And you've probably heard me say get
your news from multiple sources. Why, Well, because it's how
you detect media bias, which is why I've been so
impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's a
website and it combines news from around the world in
one place so you can compare coverage and verify information.

ago and more recently chose to work with them as

did not think that I was going to do the
full three hours on the Hunter Biden three hour interview,
because I only pulled probably about I don't know, fifteen
minutes of audio from the three hours. But it is
the best audio from the entire interview, and it covers
all of the high points I thought, well, and this
part where he tears into Jake Tapper.
Speaker 2: I mean this sincerely. It's almost it's not worth commenting
on it because he's completely irrelevant. And I really mean
this is this what who's Jake Tapper's audience? Jake Tapper
my mom or something? Well, I don't know for real though,
I don't even think it's your mom anymore. By the numbers,
what influence does Jake Tapper have over anything? He has
the smallest audience on cable news. And beyond that, I
think that the book is right now in the Amazon
that he put out. I mean, his ratings just went
to after he put the book out, and you know,
they did a two week infomercial for it. I mean,
it was such a money grab, such a disservice to
everybody that he serves with the journalism that he purports
to take part in, and he's very personally.
Speaker 1: Everybody he serves with. When I first heard that, and
then he kind of cleans it up with the journ
you know, with journalism and stuff, no no, no, no,
no no no. It was such a disservice to everybody
he serves with, meaning Democrats. Jake Tapper was a Democrat staffer,
Like that's that's the animosity here, but also apparently Hunter
Biden thinks it's personal.
Speaker 2: It's a real problem with me. He does this whole
rant about how I was the acting chief of staff
and that I took control of the White House and
I orchestrated this cover up of my dad's health and
well being. At the same time as who would ever
trust a person like me that was a crack addict
that got their sister in law addicted to crack cocaine,
Things that he has no notion of or idea about,
and personal, you know, like jeez, Christ Jake, grow the up.
Well a lot of these days you can think, really,
this is just a personal thing with me.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, or maybe like these are accurate criticisms.
And then he was asked why Joe decided to drop out?
Speaker 2: This is my recollection of what happened, and it is
not his, and he will be able to tell his
of why he decided and what he decided and what
he did. But what I felt happened is that he
was given a choice either. They decided on a nuclear
option and they said we are going to what we
are going to blow up the party. If you don't
drop out, We're going to protest this all the way
up for the next month, all the way up to
the convention. Every single moment and every single day is
going to be a test of your ability to put
one front in front of the other without tripping and
blowing the whole thing up. We're going to hold you
to such a microscopic accountability in terms of your health
that if you have an off day and misspeak, if
you do one of the things that Donald Trump does
thirty five times a day, he was given a choice.
We are going to fight you every step of the way.
The party is going to implode. We are going to
have a floor fight. We are going to attempt to
stop you. We are going to challenge you. We're going
to have the Black Caucus, the Hispanic caucus, the progressive
way of the party against the liberal elite money side
of the party, and that they were going to try
to dry up all the money. And so they decided
that they were going to do a new craftion. So
Joe Biden, I think, did the most selfless thing that
I know of any politician in the history of this
country did. He stepped aside to save the party and
in that void filled the only person that he would ever, ever,
ever endorse off out of the gate because he chose
her as his vice president. There's no choice in that.
And by the way, I love Kamala Harris. I think
that she would have made an incredible president. I know
that she was an incredibly loyal vice president and she
did everything that she could to support my dad everything,
and to support me and my family personally. I mean,
I truly love her like family, and I think that
she would have made an incredible president. And I think
she ran in an incredible campaign. You know who did
not want Kamala Harris to be president and did not
want her to be the nominee. Nancy Pelosi didn't want
her to be. None of Nancy Pelosi's people wanted her
to be. They wanted an open convention, they wanted a
floor fight, they wanted a I don't know what the
hell they wanted, but they wanted to be the ones
to annoint whoever they were going to annoint to become
the next president of the United States.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, but there was the whole matter of
the general election first. So they had done a lot
of damage. The Biden's had done a lot of damage
to the Democrat party with their you know, oh, he's fine,
He's totally fine. He's doing jumpin' Jack's soft camera. You
just don't see it. You know, he's running circles around
the intern sniffing hair and stuff like. By the way,
So now, loyalty to the president is a good thing.
I'm confused because when people say that Donald Trump's people
are loyal to him, it's always like a negative. But
also note at a larger level that in Hunter Biden's
telling of the story, just as in Joe Biden's telling
of the story, they are the hero or the victim.
They are never the villains. They're never the villains. One
other thing I did not pull this audio clip I
will just tell you, which really should cast some doubt
on Hunter Biden's mental fitness to do interviews. He said,
Tim Walls is an incredible leader, So just disregard everything
you've heard.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: All right. That'll do it for this episode. Thank you
so much for listening. I could not do the show
