your support. Yeah, this is going to be a dangerous
episode because you know me, I'm a giver and I
know that you are probably not going to carve out
three hours to watch Hunter Biden's interview with Andrew Callahan
on his Channel five YouTube show. Okay, it's a three
hour interview. The interview looks like it lasted longer than
three hours. That's just what they turned it into. But
that I don't know. It's a because he does production
post interview, what we call in the biz post production.
So uh, I know that most people aren't going to
sit and watch all of this, So I did, and
I did it for you, Okay, I well, also I
was kind of curious to see what he had to say,
but I thought I might as well just pull some audio.
But here's the thing. Hunter Biden cusses like a sailor.
Actually I shouldn't say that. I think sailors have more
than two curse words in their vocabulary. I believe, I mean,
I think I've just always grown up believing that that
sailors were sort of the uh, the experts in cursing.
So so, yes, he drops a lot of the the
F bombs, a couple of the S words. He does,
you know, a couple of references. You know, it says
the B word, but he didn't say it like calling
somebody that. So I left that in because I mean,
like complaining. I guess I could have beeped it too,
But after you do like seventy of these, you know beeps,
when you're going through an interview that's three hours long
and trying to censor with a bleep every single time
he curses, it got tedious. So, at great risk to
our FCC license, I'm going to play clips from the
Hunter Biden interview. I have done all of the editing
work myself on this, and so if for some reason
you hear the audio skip ahead and you're like, WHOA,
what just happened there. That means I missed one. Okay,
that means I missed a bleep. I've got Nick, I've
got Bernie. They're listening by sitting by listening. Nick has
his finger hovering precipitously over the dump button. I too,
shall be hovering precipitously over the dump button, which we
can then hit and cut the offending word out of
the broadcast. Side note, if you listen to the podcast,
you're going to hear it, so because that's just recorded
on a different feed anyway, I mean, in case you're
just like, oh, I got to hear him use these
curse words. And that's the thing too. Curse words, when
you use them all the time, they lose their impact.
They really do. That's why you'll notice I never curse
on air, right well, I mean there's the FCC rules
as well that yes, but I don't use it as
a normal crutch word, any of these words. So you'll
know if, like we're in real life somewhere and I
say one of these bad words, you'll know that I
am I'm particularly hacked off about something if I use
one of those words. So anyway, this is from National
Review by James Lynch. Hunter Biden is lashing out at
leading Democratic operatives and media personalities for derailing his father's
ill fated reelection bid and continuing to question whether Joe
Biden was in command of the White House during his presidency.
In two separate podcast interviews, Hunter Biden harshly criticized former
Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod, CNN host Jake Tapper, the
pod Save America podcast, and their hosts, as well as
other Democratic commentators for doubting his father all along the way.
During an interview with Channel five, an independent YouTube channel
run by comedic interviewer Andrew Callahan, Biden went on a
profanity laced tirade against his father's various critics. Now, I
will point out something here. He never names Barack Obama
as part of his li of horribles. He gets close,
He comes pretty close when he starts tearing into George Clooney.
He mentions Barack Obama as a friend of Clooney. And
remember at the time when George Clooney wrote the editorial
or the op ed for the Washington Post I believe
it was, or maybe the New York Times. I forget
when Clooney said Biden needs to step aside. That was
interpreted as coming from Barack Obama. But even in this
three hour rant, and I shouldn't say that because the
whole thing wasn't durant. In fact, the first hour of
it was quite compelling. It really was. He talked about addiction,
you know, recovery like it was. It was a really
interesting The first hour was very interesting. He came across
his personable, likable, even kind of funny, very smart, articulate.
So that was the first hour. I didn't pull any
of that. Well, no, I mean it's interesting. I would
recommend if you are interested in hearing about that. And
because well so what I also found out because I
had never heard of this interviewer guy before this, Andrew
Callahan or his show. It's a YouTube channel. He's got
like three and a half million subscribers. And so when
I googled the guy or I ducked duck goat him.
I ducked him. Anyway, I came across a story from
twenty twenty three by Emily Olsen at NPR. YouTube star
and documentary filmmaker Andrew Callahan has publicly apologized after women
came forward to say he sexually assaulted or coerced them. Okay.
Hunter Biden, by the way, said at the very beginning
that he was a very big fan of Callahan's work.
I assume he meant the podcast. But this guy got
his start while a student at Loyola University in New Orleans,
where he launched a YouTube series called Quarter Confessions. He
would wear pale suits and carry a corded microphone. He
interviewed intoxicated partiers in the street on Bourbon Street, and
then he would edit together their wildest statements with quick
cuts and intentionally outdated effects. He took that style of
filmmaking across the country in a beat up RV, stopping
for interviews at sites like a flat earther's conference and
the Talladega Speedway. Okay, so you get his politics here.
He is of the left. Okay. That show was called
All Gas, No Brakes, but it fell apart in twenty
twenty one after a contract dispute. Callahan then started a
Patreon funded channel five. Channel five on Patreon, which is
a crowdsourcing platform. I'm over there and so where creators
make content and people subscribe to that channel. That's Patreon.
The series has amassed over one hundred and six million
YouTube views since April of twenty twenty one. His following
has only broadened since the December thirtieth release of his
first HBO documentary called This Place, Rule Rules, which examines
the cultural divisions underlying the J six attack on the
US Capitol. Callahan has defended his popularity among younger millennials
and elder gen Zers as a bit of a media
mockery in the service of media literacy. I will say
I found his interview style to be quite good. He
was disarming, He got Biden to talk about stuff. He
brought other topics in that were seemingly offscript, and you know,
allowed Hunter Biden to sort of let down his guard
on some stuff, particularly at the very end when he
asked him if he was aware of like these adult
diaper communities, like these people who get dressed up as babies,
and that there's a that there's a big riff in
the community. Did you know this. There are two types
of these adult babies. There are those who do not
allow use of the diapers, and then there's another sect
that does and so they oh, yeah, so in the community,
this is a very big problem. Apparently, and so he went.
He went in depth on this community. Anyway, he was
accused of sexual coercion by a bunch of different women.
He then posted a video to Instagram and he thanked
people who had spoken out about different ways in which
my behavior has made them feel uncomfortable or pressured during
a sexual situation. He apologized to them as well as
his collaborators. He did not single out any particular accusations,
nor confirm or deny any specific accusations. He says, I've
always taken note for an answer as far as consent,
I have never overstepped that line. But then he also
said that he believes alcohol may have contributed to his
decision making and said he's planning to join a twelve
step program. Okay, so it seems like that's the connection.
Why they spent the first hour talking about addiction and
recovery and that sort of thing, which again I thought
the first hour was quite good, interesting and compelling. But
the rest of the interview, oh boy, we'll get to it.

God bless you Pete for listening to the Hunter Biden interview.
We don't deserve the sacrifices you make on our behalf.
Uh well, look, all I will say about that is
you're welcome. Okay, So here is the here's clip number
one again, be ready with the dump button. I think
I got all the cuss words out. So Hunter Biden
drew parallels between modern America and post civil reconstruction, and
then shifted pivoted immediately to drawing parallels between modern America
and if you guess Nazi Germany, you'd be correct.
Speaker 2: If I said to you, look, I'm going to tell
you a story from the past.
Speaker 1: By the way, he sounds like his dad from forty
years ago. It's amazing.
Speaker 2: It's about a minority group of people to live in
a country. It's constitutional democracy that has had its problems
in the past, but it's an economic powerhouse and it
is the center of learning. This is the center of culture.
It has a deep and rich history, but there is
a minority group that those in power that came into
power through democratically elected means are going to target this
minority group because they're sealing all the jobs.
Speaker 1: Today, our cities are flooded with illegal aliens.
Speaker 2: Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force, and
their jobs are taken.
Speaker 1: They're not. By the way, the podcaster dropped in these
clips obviously after production, after the interview, and he did
this throughout the entire three hours. He would drop in
these little clips to basically support whatever it was that
Hunter Biden was saying.
Speaker 2: Not originally citizens, they're not the original people.
Speaker 1: When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
They're not sending you. They're not sending you.
Speaker 2: On top of that, they're spreading disease and distrust, and
they're criminals and they can be violent. They're eating your
dogs and cats.
Speaker 1: They're eating the dogs the people that came in, they're
eating the cats.
Speaker 2: And what we're going to do is we're going to
send mass men to this marginalized group and we are
going to take them, put them on planes, put them
on buses, put them on trains, and send them to
a prison camp in a foreign country. What am I
describing right then? Am I describing Germany? Am I describing
the United States? Right now? Because I will tell you
what if you think that the prison in l Salvador
is not a concentration camp, you're out of your mind.
Tell me anybody that's returning from there. You saw his pictures.
Do you think anybody's getting out of there? Or you know,
is it a rebilitation center? You think I've been to
those places in South Sudan around in those areas. Do
you think anybody's getting out of those South Sudan prisons ever?
Speaker 1: Ever?
Speaker 2: Out of your mind. That's a death camp. They're done,
They're over, And if you're not dead, you would want
to be dead if you were in that prison. We
just sent a bunch of people without due process, some
of them most likely legally in the United States. Like
I think of that poor guy that they said was
a gang member because he had a tattoo on his arm,
that was a makeup artist and they say he's MS thirteen.
He literally makeup artists that fled. I think what I'm
making it up Venezuela because of a dictator and came
to the United States and saw it asylum was received asylum,
and they literally take this poor guy and they pick
him up, and he has a family, and he has friends,
and he has an entire community, and they give him
no process and they put them on a plane with
maybe a bunch of other criminals and send them to
that healthscape. He's dead and nobody gives h And I
mean it like, we sit here and we talk about
the one guy, the one guy, because there's a clear
legal path to being able to get him back. What
about all those other people? Am I not supposed to
feel for someone? Am I going to be like all
these democrats say, you have to talk about and realize
that people are really upset about illegal immigration. You, how
do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do
you think you got food on your table? Who do
you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does
your garden? Who do you think is here? By the
sheer just grit and will that they've figured out a
way to get here because they thought that they could
give theirselves and their family a better chance. And he's
somehow convinced all of us that these people are the criminals.
White men in America are forty five more times likely
to commit a violent crime than an immigrant. And the
media says, well, you got David Axelrod and you know,
Rom Emmanuel was so smart, Ram Emmanual and is that
we got to understand that these people are really mad, and.
Speaker 1: These we got to appeal to these white voters.
Speaker 2: Well, the only people that appealed to those white voters
was Joe Biden eighty one years old and he got
eighty one million votes. And he did because not because
he appeased their Trumpian sense, but because he challenged it.
And he said, you can be an eighty one year
old Catholic from Scranton that doesn't understand it but still
has empathy for transgender people and immigrants. And nobody said, oh,
Joe Biden's going to turn us into a social estate,
no matter how much they said it. But these guys
think that we need to run away from all values
in order for us to lead. I say you, how
are we getting those people back from El Salvador, Because
I'll tell you what. If I became president in two
years from now, or four years from now or three
years from now, I would pick up the phone and
call the president of El Salvador and say, you either
fucking send them back or I'm going to invade. It's
a crime what they're doing. He's a dictator thug.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there you go, dictator thug, both presidents of
both countries. Lots of f bombs. I think I did, Okay,
I did, I know, I know I did. Okay, guess
I got them all And there were a bunch in
that one. But I gotta tell you Democrats, here's just
a piece of advice here. This whole argument of who's
going to pick your crops, who's going to wipe your butt,
who's going to clean your toilets? Right, you're not exactly
persuading people that view the Democrat Party as the party
of slavery. You're not persuading us, you guys. I know
this is like embedded in the Democrat DNA. But this
this idea that we have to keep importing a slave
class or an indentured servant class to work for below
minimum wage, right to work without benefits, and to be
in constant fear of deportation. This is not making the
argument that you think it's making. It just makes you
sound like you're an elitist. You know, stories are powerful.

point out here. He Hunter. Biden in that interview said
a stat that was that white males are forty five
times more likely to commit violent crimes than immigrants. Okay,
I have found nothing to support this this assertion. Also,
it's kind of an odd comparative because you're using white
males versus an entire immigrant population. I don't know how
you're defining immigrant. Is it only illegal immigrant? Is it
legal and illegal? Is it people have been here, you know,
forty years, fifty years? I don't know. But also I
think a truer comparative would be, you know, illegal alien
males versus white males. What I have found is that
there are lots of comparisons between native born population versus
immigrant born population. Foreign born population, I should say, and
on that front, immigrants have had lower incarceration rates than
the native born population since at least eighteen seventy, and
that's when data was first recorded. In twenty twenty, immigrants
were sixty percent less likely to be incarcerated than the
US born. This is not broken out though, by racial demographics.
Right now, I'm about to say something that might be
controversial but is born out by the statistics, which is,
if you break down the proportions of you know, how
many people make up the entire population of America, You've
got you know, black, white, and Hispanic. And if you
break it down into foreign born versus native born, and
you're going to break all of that data down, then
you have to break down the data to look at
the proportion of the population, for example, that is incarcerated,
that are charged, convicted, that sort of thing, and there
is an overrepresentation of African Americans in the penal system.
Now people will say there are all sorts of historical reasons,
systemic racism, all of these other accusations and explanations and such,
But that's just the data. Okay. So I don't know
where he's getting this data point from that white males
are forty five times more likely to commit violent crimes
than immigrants. I don't know what that data point is.
I don't believe it's true. Also, I would point out
that Hunter Biden himself blamed Mexican males and assumed that
they were illegal aliens when he was trying to blame
them for disposing of the firearm in a garbage can
near a school, which he did, right, So that was
that's the same Hunter Biden who's now, you know, yelling
and cussing at people, who's going to you know, clean
your hotel rooms and all that. Let's see here. This
is from the text line. Diane says, a classic example
of toxic empathy. I missed who that was speaking, But
good grief, he's delusional. Yeah, Scott says, oh these, okay, these?
This is reference to the Coca Cola story on the news.
Don't believe our news department is reading the text line.
Just a heads up on that. It's funny. This is
from Sid. It's funny how you never hear the Democrat
Party say who's going to perform my heart surgery? Who's
going to perform the nuclear fission experiment? Just kidding. I
don't know anybody that does those things either. They just
continually stand by the talking points without hearing how degrading
they themselves actually sound. Have a great day. Sorry you
had to listen to Hunter in that interview, but thankful
you did it.
Speaker 3: Not me.
Speaker 1: You're welcome, David. Is it just me or is it
the tone of his voice? It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Jennifer says Hunter is just another lion Biden, and Sean
says that interview only shows that Hunter Biden is exactly
who we thought he was. I would also point out
here that for all of the the accolades that Hunter
Biden gives to his father and all the stuff he did,
and for his you know, his emotional expressions here talking
about immigration, you know, it was illegal immigration that was
the biggest drag on your dad's presidency and his popularity numbers.
That's like that was the driving force connected to theonomy.
Economy was number one, obviously, but illegal immigration was a
massive issue because he opened up the freaking borders and
as Diane called it, toxic empathy. And also the host
of this program, Andrew Callahan, he responded to that rant
by Hunter Biden by saying that anybody who goes through
the grueling conditions to get here, and he had been
down on the border, he interviewed a bunch of people,
he did a documentary on it. He says, if they
went through all of this, they should allowed to be citizens.
That's what we want. And then he turned around and
blamed America and the corporations for all of the conditions
in all of the countries where all of these people
come from, which is like the height of Western narcissism,
Like this is what woke is. So when you hear
people talk about the woke right, and you don't know
what the woke right means because you associated woke with
the left right. This is what it means. It's this
idea that we are to blame for everybodybody else's problems
in every other country. We are the reason that anybody
acts the way they act. Right, and because this is
the oppressor oppressed narrative, and the woke right just swaps
out the different oppressor and oppressed classes. But this is
the same mentality that we are the reason for all
of the conditions. It's not the Marxists that took over
your Central American country, no no, no, no no. It's
not your own policies down there that had nothing to
do with it. No, it's America. We did the bad thing.
We made your country terrible. It's as if it's as
if these non American or non Western civilizations have no
agency of their own, like they don't make their own decisions,
like they're just not capable. See how racisty that sounds,
But that is embedded in all of this debate. There's more, Oh,
there's a lot more. There was three hours of it,
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. You can check it out at check

This is from Chris on the text line, I feel
really sorry for Hunter and his family. They seem like
really lost people. I sincerely hope they find God. I've
also got a bunch of people saying, oh, is he
back on drugs? Whatever? I did not. I did not
think that watching the interview with him the three hours,
I did not get that impression he's been. He claims
he's been sober six years, he knows the date. He
talks about his sobriety a lot, and how he stays
clean and all of that. So I no, I don't.
I know that everybody's making that joke today. But I
did not get any indication that he was on drugs,
and his drug of choice was alcohol. He said he
was drinking a handle of vodka a day, which is nuts,
because I mean, it takes me, like a like at
least just two to get anyway, Andy says, great show, Pete.
I am blown away at the way they refer to
illegal immigrants as if they are slaves. Where is the
outrage from people it is not or is it not
illegal to hire undocumented people? Is it not illegal to
pay people a lower wage based on their skin color, creed,
country of origin, et cetera, or legal status? I would
add also, I was under the impression that child labor
is against the law.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 1: No one has said anything about the living conditions these
folks endure while living on these you know, plantations that
they are working. Just amazed at the hypocrisy. Yeah, that's
what I mean. They like, they don't they don't know
how they sound when they say this stuff. It's been
a huge blind spot for the open Border's crowd for
the last twenty five years because I've been saying this
very same thing. They claim to be the humane party
in this conversation. Yet the very system that you allow
to exist and that you then expanded under Joe Biden
has led to much misery. People were enticed to make
the journey and to suffer the degradations and the assaults, Like,
I don't know why you think that's a more humane position,
rather than to say the border is secure, you don't
get to come in except through the legal process. Then
we can have a discussion about the legal process. But
the days of you promising, you know, reforms to the
system right now in exchange for future enforcement, those days
are gone gone. You had a window of opportunity about
twenty years ago under George W. Bush, you had a
couple more opportunities under Trump won, but all of that
is gone after what we just saw over the course
of four years gone. It is now enforcement first. We'll
come back and fix the immigration laws and if you
want to make it easier. By the way, do you
know how many people come into the country legally every year?
You know what that number is, And there are some
people who want this number to be zero. I am
not one of those people. We take in legally a
million people a year. That's a huge number. That's more
than anywhere else. And honestly, I'm okay with that. If
we can assimilate that many people that quickly, sure, but
you got to do it legally. Danny says, the bidens
want more money. That's my primary takeaway from watching some
of this interview. But let's not forget that Hunter is
the smartest guy that Joe knows. That's true, that's true.
And yeah, just like that, nobody wanted his pain. He's
actually said he is going to be doing another art show.
He's selling paintings, he's still painting, he's still doing That's
part of his recovery. He says the cocaine at the
White House was not his He's like, I was only
there twelve days. Let me go over here and get
Brandon on before the newscast. Hey, Brandon, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey, hello, Hello, Hello. Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: I can hear you just fine, And everyone listening on
the air can hear you too, Okay.
Speaker 3: I just I just want to say, I think Hunter
Biden is speaking from a place of privilege when he
thinks that just that's all the immigrants are here for
our service jobs because I actually worked in construction.
Speaker 4: And they build houses, poor concrete. They do a lot
of blue collar jobs, and I mean, it's kind of
a good thing, but it's a bad thing because they
are illegal, So they're taking away quality jobs.
Speaker 3: From good Americans. You know.
Speaker 4: Not only that, but well, well I was I was
gonna say, by actually getting rid of the illegal it
will open up a lot more jobs on the market
and allow people to actually go into these trades, and
not only that, but show you know, the pay for
the trades because there be an open market then exactly
because yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, Brandon. The more the more job openings
there are with not enough supply to fill them, raises
the wages of those who can do the work, and
then you'll then you'll have the flexibility if you're stuck
at some place, you're working for a contractor that you
don't like, but you can't go somewhere else because all
the jobs are getting taken by people that are undercutting
you for the wage, then you would be able to
find a better a better employer to go work for
because there'd be more openings and such. Yeah, you know,
you're exactly you're exactly right. And again I'm not opposed
to welcoming legal immigrants in especially in hard hit sectors
where we might need more labor, but that doesn't mean
you open the doors up and allow illegal labor to
then undercut the wages of Americans. Branda, I got to run.
I appreciate the call man.
Speaker 4: Good to hear from you, appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, take it easy, all right, that'll
do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
