Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Joe Biden Denies He Was Present During Alleged Hunter Biden 2017 Text
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: So the White House has decided the best way to
- 0:04Speaker 1: deal with the problems of the Biden crime family is
- 0:08Speaker 1: to bring out Joe Biden, let him make some public
- 0:12Speaker 1: appearances and get people to love him again. The problem
- 0:16Speaker 1: is it's not working so well for them. Just take
- 0:19Speaker 1: a look at the last twenty four hours. Well, what's happened.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Biden has confused Iraq with Ukraine, not once, but twice
- 0:27Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours alone. President Joe Biden,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the White House said, mistakenly said Iraq when he met Ukraine.
- 0:36Speaker 1: When talking about the war on Tuesday night, he referred
- 0:39Speaker 1: to the onslaught on Iraq. At a fundraiser in Maryland
- 0:44Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, he obviously knew he's screwed up.
- 0:46Speaker 2: On Tuesday night, he said Putin is.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Clearly losing the war in Iraq two separate occasions in
- 0:53Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours with President Joe Biden apparently
- 0:56Speaker 1: thinks that Iraq is at a war with Iran or
- 0:59Speaker 1: may maybe it's Russia, or maybe it's Ukraine.
- 1:01Speaker 2: We're not really sure.
- 1:03Speaker 1: It got bad to the point where Wednesday morning, Biden
- 1:07Speaker 1: spoke some one of a group of reporters outside the
- 1:09Speaker 1: White House before departing for another campaign event in Chicago,
- 1:14Speaker 1: A reporter asked the president if he believed that Russian
- 1:17Speaker 1: President Vladimir Putin had been weakened by the recent events
- 1:20Speaker 1: in Russia, including an abortion rebellion by the leader of
- 1:26Speaker 1: the Wagner merceary group. It's hard to tell, Biden replied,
- 1:31Speaker 1: but he's clearly losing the war in Iraq, he's losing
- 1:34Speaker 1: the war at home, and he has become a bit
- 1:37Speaker 1: of a pariah around the world.
- 1:39Speaker 2: I wish I was joking. I'm not. That is your
- 1:42Speaker 2: President of the United States of America. He has Vladimir
- 1:46Speaker 2: prut had been weakened by Wishnevnce.
- 1:48Speaker 3: It's hard to tell, but he's clearly.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Losing the war in Iraq, he's losing the war at home,
- 1:53Speaker 4: and he is become a bit of a friar around
- 1:56Speaker 4: the world. Not just NATO fifteen percent unions, it's Japan,
- 2:02Speaker 4: It's good.
- 2:03Speaker 1: It's forty nations, folks.
- 2:06Speaker 2: I tell you what.
- 2:08Speaker 1: This guy's losing the war in Iraq. He's losing the
- 2:11Speaker 1: word home, Vladimir Putin. So there's a war going on
- 2:13Speaker 1: Iraq in the head of Joe Biden. Not once, but twice.
- 2:15Speaker 1: He said this because he said it the fundraiser right
- 2:19Speaker 1: Tuesday night at a fundraiser in Chevy Chase, Maryland, because
- 2:23Speaker 1: they bring the fundraisers to DC instead of him going
- 2:25Speaker 1: out in the road. Biden referred to Ukraine as Iraq
- 2:29Speaker 1: when touting the unity of NATO in the aftermath of the
- 2:31Speaker 1: Russian invasion. That, according to the official White House transcript
- 2:35Speaker 1: of his remarks, quote, if anybody told you, and my
- 2:37Speaker 1: staff wasn't so sure either that we'd be able to
- 2:40Speaker 1: bring all of Europe together and the onslaught on Iraq
- 2:45Speaker 1: and get NATO to be completely united, I think they
- 2:48Speaker 1: would have told you it's not likely. The one thing
- 2:50Speaker 1: Putin counted on was being able to split NATO, and
- 2:54Speaker 1: the point was he hasn't been able to the only
- 2:56Speaker 1: problem is you just have the entire country wrong that
- 2:59Speaker 1: you're talking about.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 3:01Speaker 1: You may say this is a slip of the tongue,
- 3:03Speaker 1: and last night you could have said that, But when
- 3:05Speaker 1: you say it the way he said this morning again
- 3:08Speaker 1: about Iraq, you have to worry about the cognitive decline
- 3:11Speaker 1: of the President of the United States of America. And
- 3:13Speaker 1: if you're not worried about it, then you're stupid. Because
- 3:18Speaker 1: I will tell you this for sure, those on the
- 3:21Speaker 1: left are loving this cognitive decline of a president that
- 3:24Speaker 1: doesn't even know that Vladimir Putin is not at war
- 3:27Speaker 1: with Iran or Iraq, or Saudi Arabia or anybody else
- 3:30Speaker 1: in the Middle East. The war is with a neighboring
- 3:33Speaker 1: country that used to be a part of the USSR Ukraine.
- 3:37Speaker 2: It's a little different. Now.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Let me also go back to something else that's happening.
- 3:42Speaker 1: The media is trying to figure out how they can
- 3:46Speaker 1: help this president while also have being to report on
- 3:49Speaker 1: the news and the corruption. We now have a montage
- 3:53Speaker 1: that we can play for you of the media and
- 3:56Speaker 1: what they're trying to figure out is if they keep
- 3:59Speaker 1: saying the same thing over and over again, will you
- 4:03Speaker 1: start to believe them and repeat it yourself. The first
- 4:06Speaker 1: thing they're trying to Jedi mind trick you on is
- 4:09Speaker 1: this that Hunter Biden really didn't get a sweetheart deal.
- 4:13Speaker 1: This really wasn't a sweetheart deal, even though clearly this
- 4:16Speaker 1: is a deal that no one else in America could get.
- 4:18Speaker 5: Take a listen hearing things from Republicans like sweetheart deal.
- 4:24Speaker 6: Give us a reality check. This is not some sweetheart deal. Well,
- 4:28Speaker 6: I don't think it was a sweetheart deal.
- 4:29Speaker 7: There's no indication that he's getting a special or a
- 4:32Speaker 7: sweetheart deal.
- 4:33Speaker 6: So is this a sweetheart deal? No, it's not. So
- 4:35Speaker 6: it does not appear that this is a sweetheart deal.
- 4:38Speaker 8: The idea of throwing around these terms about slap on
- 4:41Speaker 8: the wrist and probation traffic ticket, it's just not accurate.
- 4:45Speaker 8: They focus on this and say, oh, I got a
- 4:46Speaker 8: two tier standard of justice, he got a sweetheart deal,
- 4:49Speaker 8: and you're like, guys, I mean, you're just you just
- 4:52Speaker 8: sound like morons.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Make sure that the American people understand that he's not
- 4:57Speaker 3: being treated better or worse.
- 4:59Speaker 8: I've seen no reason to think he had any reason
- 5:02Speaker 8: to tilt the field in favor of Hunter Biden, that
- 5:05Speaker 8: there was no home state favoritism here in Delaware.
- 5:09Speaker 9: Bending over backwards to not show any favor, even any
- 5:12Speaker 9: appearance of favor to the president's side.
- 5:15Speaker 8: You know what, We've seen a lot of pictures that
- 5:17Speaker 8: show you what addiction does to somebody, and a lot
- 5:20Speaker 8: of noise to distract from Trump.
- 5:22Speaker 9: Everything that has come out of what we've seen with
- 5:25Speaker 9: the Republican attacks on the Biden Cramp crime family.
- 5:28Speaker 6: It's all projection and the addict thing.
- 5:30Speaker 8: It matters to me, It matters to me in the
- 5:32Speaker 8: Hunter Biden analysis, Okay, it does. This guy is not
- 5:36Speaker 8: acting just as some wily, crafty guy who's trying to
- 5:40Speaker 8: get away with things.
- 5:41Speaker 5: America can identify with kids who are addicted who make
- 5:45Speaker 5: bad mistakes.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Biden.
- 5:46Speaker 1: You notice, by the way, across all platforms, they're all
- 5:52Speaker 1: saying the same things. So at first they're like, it's
- 5:55Speaker 1: not a sweetheart deal. That didn't work.
- 5:57Speaker 2: So they are like, all right, well, let's move on
- 5:58Speaker 2: to addiction.
- 5:59Speaker 1: You should feel sorry for him because of the addiction,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and they're all rolling out the addiction play.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Right. He's an addict.
- 6:05Speaker 1: It's not real man trying to make millions of dollars
- 6:08Speaker 1: shaking down Chinese comings officials for five point one million
- 6:11Speaker 1: here and another five million there, not ten percent for
- 6:13Speaker 1: the big guy in Barisma, another five million there.
- 6:16Speaker 2: No, no, no, this is none of that.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You need to feel sorry for him because he's just
- 6:21Speaker 1: a guy that's an addict.
- 6:22Speaker 6: It's very poor decisions in recent years, but he has
- 6:27Speaker 6: not been charged criminally.
- 6:29Speaker 7: There's been nothing he's been found to be illegal with
- 6:31Speaker 7: those poor decisions.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Fake, So it's a poor decision, now, right, You got
- 6:35Speaker 1: to understand we don't really need to put Joe Biden
- 6:37Speaker 1: or Hunter Biden or any Biden in jail. It's just
- 6:40Speaker 1: a poor decision. These are just poor decisions that were made.
- 6:44Speaker 1: And of course he was going to make poor decisions
- 6:46Speaker 1: because he's an addict, and you should have compassion for that.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Right.
- 6:50Speaker 1: This goes back to that BS on the view, Annavar
- 6:53Speaker 1: is like, this is a love story about a father's
- 6:55Speaker 1: love for his son, and I will only see it
- 6:58Speaker 1: this way. He use to see this as compromising America.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I refuse to see this as anything different than what
- 7:07Speaker 1: I'm telling you it is. It's a beautiful love story.
- 7:10Speaker 1: They actually said that on the view. It's a love story.
- 7:13Speaker 1: And so to me, it's like, hey, yeah, let's go
- 7:15Speaker 1: with that. Yeah yeah, let's let's let's see if that works.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Let's just keep riding that horse and see where that
- 7:19Speaker 1: takes us.
- 7:19Speaker 6: Cat name one crime that was committed. He committed no
- 7:23Speaker 6: crime with the gun.
- 7:24Speaker 9: If this wasn't Hunter Biden, it is likely he wouldn't
- 7:27Speaker 9: have been prosecuted at all.
- 7:29Speaker 6: Fans wouldn't have brought this charge. Again, somebody whose last
- 7:32Speaker 6: name was not Biden.
- 7:33Speaker 7: If his last name was not Biden, I don't even
- 7:35Speaker 7: think he would have been charged.
- 7:38Speaker 1: So there is it's actually we're going hard on him, right,
- 7:40Speaker 1: We're not going easy on him. We're going hard on
- 7:42Speaker 1: him because of his last name Biden. He's being persecuted
- 7:45Speaker 1: for a gun crime. I loved by the way in
- 7:47Speaker 1: there Chris Comey is like, he committed no crime with
- 7:50Speaker 1: his gun.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Yes he did.
- 7:52Speaker 1: He committed the crime of lying on the form to
- 7:54Speaker 1: get the gun, which, by the way, I thought liberals
- 7:56Speaker 1: were tough on gun crimes and tough on background checks,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and they're the ones wanted to get rid of the
- 8:01Speaker 1: loophole as well when it's one of ours. Chris Clomo
- 8:05Speaker 1: just looked at you and he said, well, he didn't
- 8:07Speaker 1: commit a crime with a gun. Having the gun committed
- 8:10Speaker 1: the crime. Lying in the form committed the crime. He
- 8:13Speaker 1: was not allowed to own that gun. Let's be clear
- 8:17Speaker 1: about that. And the media is like, well, we'll try
- 8:22Speaker 1: that one up. Maybe we can convince people that he
- 8:24Speaker 1: actually got a bad deal, not a sweetheart deal. People
- 8:27Speaker 1: were hard on him because his last name with Biden.
- 8:29Speaker 1: If you weren't the same last name as Biden, you
- 8:31Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten in charge of these crimes.
- 8:33Speaker 2: We also that's a lie.
- 8:34Speaker 1: There are tons of African Americans that have come out online,
- 8:37Speaker 1: including lawyers representing African Americans, some of them famous, who
- 8:40Speaker 1: have said, we got years and years in prison for
- 8:45Speaker 1: our clients for the same exact crimes or crimes that
- 8:51Speaker 1: were in the same category, but less than right. We
- 8:54Speaker 1: weren't accused of embezzling this much money or lying about
- 8:57Speaker 1: millions our taxes. We were accused on it for on
- 9:00Speaker 1: this issue of one hundred thousand or two hundred or
- 9:02Speaker 1: whatever the number may be, okay, right, whatever it is,
- 9:06Speaker 1: and we went to prison. Why the hell isn't he
- 9:09Speaker 1: going to prison?
- 9:10Speaker 2: Now?
- 9:11Speaker 1: Before I get into more of this story, I want
- 9:12Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good friends.
- 9:15Speaker 2: At Patriot Mobile.

- 9:20Speaker 1: happy with your coverage, you can switch between the three

- 9:36Speaker 1: right now. The difference is not only do you get
- 9:39Speaker 1: the same great quality that you're used to, but they
- 9:43Speaker 1: actually are a company that fights to preserve or God
- 9:47Speaker 1: given rights and freedoms.
- 9:48Speaker 2: So this year resolved to.

- 10:17Speaker 1: activation with the offer code ferguson. That's eight seven eight
- 10:21Speaker 1: Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. But keep listening
- 10:27Speaker 1: to the media. They're all saying the same thing on
- 10:29Speaker 1: all these different channels.
- 10:31Speaker 6: His name was Hunter Smith. He probably would not have been.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Charged if his last name wasn't Biden, if he wasn't famous.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I don't know that he would have been prosecuted at all.
- 10:41Speaker 8: If Hunter Biden's last name was BIDENO, I don't know
- 10:45Speaker 8: that he gets charges at all.
- 10:47Speaker 1: I think it's actually harsher than the treatment that a
- 10:49Speaker 1: typical person would receive.
- 10:51Speaker 9: Based on what we have seen here, it seems like
- 10:53Speaker 9: a more harsh disposition than most people will get.
- 10:56Speaker 1: So I actually think, you know, Biden's kind of getting
- 10:58Speaker 1: the short end of the stick on this.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Because it's high profile case.
- 11:01Speaker 2: He was probably more severely looked at it. You know,
- 11:04Speaker 2: he was treated differently, but he was treated differently to
- 11:07Speaker 2: his detriment. If anything, Hunter Biden has been charged a
- 11:11Speaker 2: little bit more heavily than you would expect.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Right, right, So I guess what you're saying is it's
- 11:15Speaker 4: possible that if there's a double standard, it's actually a
- 11:17Speaker 4: standard against him.
- 11:19Speaker 6: If anything, they may have been leaning pretty far forward.
- 11:22Speaker 5: The Hunter Biden's story the scandal that it's also the
- 11:27Speaker 5: story of a father's love.
- 11:29Speaker 1: There it is wrapped in a bout for you at
- 11:31Speaker 1: the very end with the psychos over at the view
- 11:34Speaker 1: on a Navarro, Right, it's really a story about a
- 11:36Speaker 1: father's love. And then we're going to try to convince
- 11:40Speaker 1: you that this guy is actually being picked on and
- 11:44Speaker 1: you should feel sorry for him because his last name
- 11:46Speaker 1: is Biden.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Now, there's countless.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Court cases, convictions, and examples of people who are quote
- 11:54Speaker 1: high profile being charged with way more serious crimes, then
- 12:01Speaker 1: Hunter Biden has been charged with way more serious crimes
- 12:06Speaker 1: by doing less than what Hunter Biden has done. But
- 12:10Speaker 1: the part here that they also are a lying to
- 12:12Speaker 1: you about that you need to understand.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Okay, is this.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Hunter Biden committed crimes far outside of what I just
- 12:22Speaker 1: played for you.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Okay, Hunter Biden.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Committed crimes that make the crimes he was actually charged
- 12:32Speaker 1: with a joke. You notice how none of them are
- 12:36Speaker 1: talking about that. Him not filing, for example, as a
- 12:41Speaker 1: foreign agent, major crime, was in charge with that, Him
- 12:45Speaker 1: taking money from adversaries, suspicious activity reports, shaking down foreign governments,
- 12:52Speaker 1: doing deals with people that you're not allowed to do
- 12:55Speaker 1: deals with, funneling that money to nine family members, having
- 13:00Speaker 1: LLC's that basically are shell companies and nothing more. Putting
- 13:04Speaker 1: things on your taxes like joining a sex club and
- 13:07Speaker 1: saying it's a golf membership, paying a prostitute and writing
- 13:12Speaker 1: off for taxes, saying she was a assistant in California
- 13:16Speaker 1: when it was a prostitute.
- 13:20Speaker 2: And they want you to believe that.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Actually they were really mean to him, right, they were
- 13:25Speaker 1: super super mean to him. Now, let me also go
- 13:29Speaker 1: back to the terrible week of bringing Joe Biden back out.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Joe Biden did an event. Remember, he only does events
- 13:36Speaker 1: er the day. He can't stay up at night. Apparently
- 13:38Speaker 1: the New York Times says he's only the president really
- 13:41Speaker 1: from noon to four.
- 13:42Speaker 2: They don't do morning events for him.
- 13:44Speaker 1: They don't do nighttime events for any Just kind of
- 13:45Speaker 1: keep it in the middle there so and get his
- 13:47Speaker 1: knaps in. But I want you to just hear some
- 13:49Speaker 1: of what Joe Biden had to say at some of
- 13:52Speaker 1: these events, and you tell me if you think any
- 13:54Speaker 1: of this is making sense to you.
- 13:56Speaker 2: This was in Chicago, trickle down economic theory.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Three quarters of the US industries goo more consecrated. I'm
- 14:06Speaker 4: assuming consecrated. I'm thinking I didn't go to mass they
- 14:18Speaker 4: were moving to diminish competition.
- 14:23Speaker 1: The audience lapsed awkwardly, because it's awkward. Joe Biden bragged
- 14:31Speaker 1: about meaning jijingping alone sixty eight times, sixty eight hours,
- 14:37Speaker 1: sixty eight times. He just he and I right listen
- 14:40Speaker 1: to how he explains that to you. This isn't a
- 14:42Speaker 1: joke either.
- 14:43Speaker 4: I've long said I mean I was on the Tibetan
- 14:47Speaker 4: plateau with Shijing Ping.
- 14:50Speaker 6: I traveled seventeen thousand miles from him.
- 14:53Speaker 4: I've spoke with him more than any other other state
- 14:56Speaker 4: because it started when I was vice president and president
- 14:59Speaker 4: who is the president and he was the vice man.
- 15:01Speaker 4: We knew he was going to be successful. It was
- 15:04Speaker 4: inappropriate for Barack to spend that time with it, but
- 15:07Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time in it. I met
- 15:09Speaker 4: alone with him, just he and I and a simultaneous interpreter,
- 15:13Speaker 4: sixty eight times sixty eight hours, sixty eight times more
- 15:17Speaker 4: than sixty eight hours, by the way, I turned in
- 15:20Speaker 4: all my notes. But mister God, sure if he asked me,
- 15:31Speaker 4: We're in it to bed and Plateau. And he asked me,
- 15:33Speaker 4: he said, can you define America for me? I suggested
- 15:37Speaker 4: one word when I meant it, possibilities.
- 15:41Speaker 6: Possibilities. We're a land of possibilities. And I told him
- 15:45Speaker 6: it's never.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Been a good bet to bet against America.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Never I can, as.
- 15:54Speaker 4: I can honestly say, I've never been more optimistic about
- 15:57Speaker 4: America's future.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I swear to God, there's your campaign speech for you.
- 16:03Speaker 1: So let's just go back through the things he said
- 16:05Speaker 1: that are absurd. He say he traveled seventy thousand miles
- 16:07Speaker 1: with him. That's not true. I've spoken with him more
- 16:11Speaker 1: than any other state because it started when I was
- 16:13Speaker 1: vice president and President Hugh was the president. Maybe that's true,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and we know how much money that they've been sending
- 16:18Speaker 1: to the Biden crime family. That actually would make sense, right,
- 16:21Speaker 1: That actually implicates the president when he was the vice president,
- 16:24Speaker 1: with the shady deals he was doing with a son,
- 16:25Speaker 1: the billions and loans and millions of dollars coming for
- 16:27Speaker 1: the Chinese Commanist Party.
- 16:30Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time with him.
- 16:31Speaker 1: I met alone with him, just he and I and
- 16:34Speaker 1: a simultaneous interpreter, sixty eight times.
- 16:38Speaker 2: I don't believe that.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Then he says sixty eight hours, sixty eight times more
- 16:43Speaker 1: than sixty eight hours, So he spent more than seventy
- 16:46Speaker 1: hours with him one on one, just having conversations that
- 16:50Speaker 1: maybe that's what you have to do when your compromise,
- 16:53Speaker 1: or maybe Joe Biden's just lying about all of it
- 16:58Speaker 1: to cover it up the crime that he's or maybe
- 17:00Speaker 1: just making up because he doesn't know what else to
- 17:02Speaker 1: say on stage. But one thing's for sure, he's going
- 17:06Speaker 1: back to that one line, right. It's always bad. I
- 17:09Speaker 1: tell you it's always bad to bet against America.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 17:15Speaker 1: He also wants you to know that Bidenomics are working
- 17:18Speaker 1: in this country even though inflations at high time, all
- 17:22Speaker 1: time highs in our lifetime. Yeah, people that are suffering
- 17:25Speaker 1: now can't afford basic food and groceries and necessities. Gas
- 17:29Speaker 1: prices are getting back up there, extremely high for the
- 17:32Speaker 1: summer commutes and the vacations.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Right, but what does Joe Biden want you to believe?
- 17:36Speaker 2: He wants you to believe this. Guess what, My knowledge
- 17:41Speaker 2: is working there.
- 17:43Speaker 1: It is, even though it's not right. But who cares.
- 17:46Speaker 1: If you say it, it must be true. Biden also said
- 17:50Speaker 1: the less than a guy driving hit by a truck
- 17:54Speaker 1: anyway knock down a whole bridge. I wish I was joking,
- 17:57Speaker 1: but I'm not. That's the actual transcer. Listen to this.
- 18:01Speaker 4: Listen of a guy driving a truck kit anyway knocked
- 18:05Speaker 4: down a whole bridge and the whole focked four lanes
- 18:10Speaker 4: of the highway.
- 18:13Speaker 1: If you're scratching your head right now, I'll play it
- 18:15Speaker 1: for you again. This is the President of United States
- 18:16Speaker 1: of America. Every world leader is saying this. President say
- 18:20Speaker 1: this statement, and you know, they're laughing, going, we can
- 18:23Speaker 1: do whatever the hell we want right now, because this
- 18:24Speaker 1: guy has no idea where he is or what he's saying.
- 18:27Speaker 4: Less of a guy driving a truck kit anyway, knocked
- 18:31Speaker 4: down a whole bridge and the whole focked four lanes
- 18:36Speaker 4: of the highway.
- 18:39Speaker 1: I don't even know what he's talking about, and I
- 18:41Speaker 1: think most people don't know what he's talking about. In fact,
- 18:43Speaker 1: I think all the people in the audience are probably
- 18:45Speaker 1: sitting there grabbing each other's leg right, and they're saying,
- 18:48Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's a train wreck.
- 18:49Speaker 2: What are we doing? Oh my gosh, that's happening right now.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
- 18:53Speaker 1: But this is what the president's talking about. David Jolly,
- 18:57Speaker 1: by the way, on MSNBC, had this to say about
- 19:02Speaker 1: Joe Biden making jokes about age to counter voter concerns today.
- 19:07Speaker 1: This is how after all of these flubs, and I
- 19:09Speaker 1: just played for you the last twenty four hours saying
- 19:12Speaker 1: that you know, Rush's in a war with Iran, Here's
- 19:14Speaker 1: how they're covering for them.
- 19:17Speaker 5: Donald Trump is the nominee, which for see is a
- 19:20Speaker 5: prohibitive front runner right now. David the NBC of his
- 19:23Speaker 5: poll is a mixed bag for the president. His approval
- 19:26Speaker 5: is only at forty three percent. That's not enough to
- 19:29Speaker 5: win a general election in most cases. But there is
- 19:32Speaker 5: another ten percent who only quotes somewhat disapprove of Joe Biden,
- 19:36Speaker 5: meaning they could play a major role in a potential
- 19:39Speaker 5: Biden Trump mematch if Trump is the nominee.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Sure, and I think to pick up where Jim left off.
- 19:47Speaker 3: The other thing that decides elections is the contrast. And
- 19:49Speaker 3: that's largely Jim's point. So Joe Biden in a generic poll,
- 19:54Speaker 3: do you favor unfavorable? What your opinion of is handling
- 19:58Speaker 3: the economy, foreign policy, whatever. These numbers are important, and
- 20:01Speaker 3: a campaign pays attention to them. You certainly want to
- 20:04Speaker 3: be in the net positive. But square up Joe Biden
- 20:07Speaker 3: against a Donald Trump, where a Rondo Santis, and ask
- 20:10Speaker 3: the American people who do you trust to lead the
- 20:12Speaker 3: nation for the next four years. Joe Biden promised to
- 20:15Speaker 3: bring to the White House a presidency that was based
- 20:18Speaker 3: on experience, re establishing a steady hand in the White House,
- 20:22Speaker 3: a presidency that reflected Americans values and that could show
- 20:26Speaker 3: America that we could get cast the irascible unsteady, arguably
- 20:30Speaker 3: dangerous era of Donald Trump's presidency. Joe Biden has delivered
- 20:35Speaker 3: that to the American people, and that will be the
- 20:37Speaker 3: case he makes in contrast to either Donald Trump as
- 20:41Speaker 3: the nominee again or a youthful, inexperienced Rond De Santis.
- 20:45Speaker 1: There's your closing argument from the little liberal media. That's
- 20:49Speaker 1: their argument. Somehow, this guy's American values and has done
- 20:53Speaker 1: amazing things for you, even though every poll is saying
- 20:56Speaker 1: the opposite. Every American is feeling the opposite of this.
- 21:01Speaker 1: But they'll keep looking at you and they'll keep saying
- 21:04Speaker 1: it until they think that it has convinced you that it's.
- 21:08Speaker 2: All o K.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Let me also tell you about our friends of Augusta

- 22:39Speaker 1: I want to turn, by the way, to another story
- 22:41Speaker 1: that's very important, and that is Anheuser Busch has announced
- 22:45Speaker 1: that apparently the chick that did the Mulvaney campaign, they're
- 22:49Speaker 1: head of like marketing. She's no longer a quote with
- 22:52Speaker 1: the company. Yeah you think. And Anheuser Bush decided they
- 22:57Speaker 1: were going to do some damaged control by getting back
- 22:59Speaker 1: on Twitter. That just backfired in their face because everybody
- 23:04Speaker 1: was taunting them and messing with them.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Right.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Also, they also had a tweet they deleted that said
- 23:11Speaker 1: go woke exclamation point from a little while back. They've
- 23:15Speaker 1: deleted that tweet now because people were mocking them with
- 23:17Speaker 1: that old tweet as well, which is even funnier.
- 23:20Speaker 2: And then you had the Anheuser Bush CEO.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Now, this was stupid for him to take this long
- 23:25Speaker 1: to do this interview, but he decided to do it,
- 23:26Speaker 1: and it was a bad interview.
- 23:27Speaker 2: By the way. He went on CBS Mornings.
- 23:30Speaker 1: It was the safest place for him to go because
- 23:32Speaker 1: Gail King and they're not going to ask any tough questions. Okay,
- 23:35Speaker 1: they did ask him this question about Dylan mulvaney. Now
- 23:38Speaker 1: to be clear, So you know, Dylan Mlvani's the dude
- 23:41Speaker 1: that has a penis that dresses like a chick that
- 23:44Speaker 1: Anheiser Busch put on a can. Okay, so understand that
- 23:48Speaker 1: I want you to hear Anheuser Busch's CEO younger Guy
- 23:52Speaker 1: Brennan Whitworth, and here's what he had to say about
- 23:56Speaker 1: basically having no regrets about the decision literally to destroy
- 23:59Speaker 1: Butler and suggests is that he would even do it again,
- 24:03Speaker 1: which is a reason why I said from the beginning.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Unless they decide to come out and say we screwed
- 24:09Speaker 1: up and we're so sorry, and we alienated our customers
- 24:12Speaker 1: and we're never going to do it again, then don't
- 24:15Speaker 1: believe any of their pr marketing with their Harley Davison
- 24:18Speaker 1: campaign or their Fourth of July campaign or whatever the
- 24:21Speaker 1: crap they try to do next, because they don't actually
- 24:24Speaker 1: believe it. And that is exactly what happened today with
- 24:27Speaker 1: the CEO.
- 24:28Speaker 7: Listen, given the moment we're in, this moment in America
- 24:31Speaker 7: with trans issues at the top of a Republican, social
- 24:34Speaker 7: or conservative a political agenda. Knowing what you know now,
- 24:38Speaker 7: if you could go back, would you send this can
- 24:40Speaker 7: to this one person again?
- 24:42Speaker 9: There's a big social conversation taking place right now and
- 24:46Speaker 9: big brands are right in the middle of it. And
- 24:48Speaker 9: it's not just our industry or bud Light. It's happening
- 24:51Speaker 9: in retail, it's happening in fast food, and so for us,
- 24:55Speaker 9: what we need to understand is deeply understand and appreciate
- 24:58Speaker 9: as the consumer what they want, what they care about,
- 25:03Speaker 9: and what they expect from big brands.
- 25:06Speaker 7: Since is part of why you're getting it from all sides,
- 25:08Speaker 7: because I asked you, would you do it again? And
- 25:10Speaker 7: people on the trans right side of things supporting that
- 25:13Speaker 7: community want.
- 25:13Speaker 6: You to say yes.
- 25:14Speaker 7: Of course, we want that fortitude, and people on the
- 25:18Speaker 7: right would criticize you for saying yes.
- 25:20Speaker 2: So where are you on the issue?
- 25:22Speaker 6: I mean, was this a mistake?
- 25:24Speaker 9: You know, bud Light has supported LGBTQ since nineteen ninety eight,
- 25:28Speaker 9: so that's twenty five years. And as we've said from
- 25:31Speaker 9: the beginning, we'll continue to support the communities and organizations
- 25:34Speaker 9: that we've supported for decades. But as we move forward,
- 25:38Speaker 9: you know, we want to focus on what we do best,
- 25:40Speaker 9: which is brewing great beer for everyone, listening to our consumers,
- 25:43Speaker 9: being humble and listening to them, making sure that we
- 25:46Speaker 9: do right by our employees, take care and support our partners,
- 25:51Speaker 9: and ultimately make an impact in the communities that we serve.
- 25:54Speaker 2: All right, So to be queer, I guess you're saying
- 25:56Speaker 2: they do it again?
- 25:57Speaker 4: Right?
- 25:58Speaker 1: He has no regret about the destroy bud Light. He
- 26:01Speaker 1: has no regrets about basically working with Mulvaney. He makes
- 26:05Speaker 1: it clear that they're still standing by what they believed
- 26:07Speaker 1: in the day that they did the deal with Mulvaney.
- 26:09Speaker 1: A dude with a penis, stress like a chick, and
- 26:13Speaker 1: they're still a cutting edge company that he's going to
- 26:15Speaker 1: run into the ground. What's even funnier than that is
- 26:19Speaker 1: the fact that the CBS News actually asked him another question.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't know this. Brendan Whitworth
- 26:27Speaker 1: was actually a CIA employee at one point in his
- 26:32Speaker 1: career before he went to bud Light and collapsed bud Light,
- 26:36Speaker 1: and I want you to hear how they asked him
- 26:37Speaker 1: about that.
- 26:38Speaker 2: It's hysterical.
- 26:39Speaker 1: We should point out that you're a former United States
- 26:41Speaker 1: Marine and you were also at the Central Intelligence.
- 26:43Speaker 6: Agency, the CIA, so you know a little bit about stress,
- 26:46Speaker 6: just a tiny bit. How did you go from the
- 26:49Speaker 6: CIA to anhygerbush?
- 26:52Speaker 9: You know, I thought the highest calling that anybody can
- 26:55Speaker 9: have it is serving the country. But for you know,
- 26:58Speaker 9: personal reasons, made the decision out after eight years in
- 27:00Speaker 9: service of the country, to move into business. I worked
- 27:04Speaker 9: for PepsiCo for a number of years, and I came
- 27:06Speaker 9: here ten years ago and I've been in this position
- 27:08Speaker 9: for two years.
- 27:08Speaker 6: Still this job. I love this job and.
- 27:10Speaker 9: I love the company, and it really is, as I mentioned,
- 27:13Speaker 9: an American institution, and it's really to me one degree
- 27:16Speaker 9: of separation away from the United States, the American flag,
- 27:21Speaker 9: and so even though I'm not serving the country anymore,
- 27:24Speaker 9: I still feel like I have an opportunity to support
- 27:29Speaker 9: the country. And that's exactly what Anheuser Busch gives us
- 27:31Speaker 9: the opportunity to do.
- 27:32Speaker 6: And you're feeling you'll get through this absolutely, Yeah.
- 27:36Speaker 1: So in other words, the American flag will talk about
- 27:39Speaker 1: and we're happy to bring up his service to America
- 27:42Speaker 1: when it's convenient. I found that aspect of this a
- 27:46Speaker 1: little bit condescending to the audience, Like I found what
- 27:49Speaker 1: he just said. They're just a little bit like in
- 27:51Speaker 1: your face, like are you kidding me? Like you're now
- 27:54Speaker 1: going to go from Dylan mulvaney to let's talk about
- 27:57Speaker 1: your service to America and you one step away from
- 28:01Speaker 1: serving your country while being at Anheuser Bush.
- 28:04Speaker 2: No, you're not.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Like I have no problem with people that make money.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I love capitalism, I love working hard and making money.
- 28:11Speaker 1: I don't mind whatever this guy's making. But don't sit
- 28:14Speaker 1: there and then use your service to America to cover
- 28:17Speaker 1: your abls for a terrible business decision, which was to
- 28:21Speaker 1: change your brand and alienate the redneck south right, the
- 28:25Speaker 1: frattie I'm using their words, the fratty image of bud
- 28:29Speaker 1: Light by giving a customized Budlight can and the wake
- 28:35Speaker 1: of women.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Member.
- 28:36Speaker 1: This wasn't even Gay Pride when they did this. This
- 28:38Speaker 1: was for women's mart, like for Women's Month, whatever the
- 28:41Speaker 1: hell they called it, Mulvanny was saying when they did
- 28:44Speaker 1: the can, like, this is for Women's Empowerment Month or whatever.
- 28:48Speaker 1: So they're now also telling you that they believe a
- 28:50Speaker 1: dude with a chick is a woman. He was also
- 28:54Speaker 1: asked how they're handling the massive dropping sales and people
- 28:58Speaker 1: shooting bud like cans with gumuns, right, because the Friday
- 29:01Speaker 1: people are doing that.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Yes, we are, by the way, and it's really fun. Listen.
- 29:05Speaker 9: And I think the fact remains that millions and millions
- 29:08Speaker 9: of consumers enjoy bud Light each and every day.
- 29:11Speaker 10: They do it so mad though, Brendan, because the sales
- 29:13Speaker 10: have dropped, how are you handling that? I mean to Ceeo,
- 29:17Speaker 10: I just I want to know what this was been
- 29:19Speaker 10: like for you when you've had so much vitriol on
- 29:22Speaker 10: all sides, your sales are dropping. People, you know, we
- 29:25Speaker 10: have people firing guns at bud like cans. I mean,
- 29:28Speaker 10: it's just gotten really off the chain. Crazy. Yeah, So
- 29:32Speaker 10: how have you?
- 29:33Speaker 1: How are you grabbed by the way, Just so Gael
- 29:35Speaker 1: King knows, and I just think it's important that I
- 29:37Speaker 1: tell her this. It is not off the chains to
- 29:40Speaker 1: shoot bud like cans.
- 29:43Speaker 2: When you go.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Shooting, especially when your outdoor, you're shooting at something. And
- 29:47Speaker 1: a lot of times, I mean when I was growing up,
- 29:49Speaker 1: we would shoot because we go to Walmart. We buy
- 29:51Speaker 1: case of barbosol cans to shoot at because they were
- 29:55Speaker 1: so cheap, that's the shaving cream.
- 29:56Speaker 2: They would explode. It was awesome.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Then I remember buying Big Ca three liter bottles at
- 30:02Speaker 1: Kroger and Big K twelve packs or twenty four packs
- 30:06Speaker 1: and shaking them up and then shooting them like skeat.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Because it was so cheap.
- 30:13Speaker 1: This idea that it's off the chains that people are
- 30:15Speaker 1: shooting bud light is again shows you there the disdain okay,
- 30:23Speaker 1: and the lack of understanding of the Freddy South as
- 30:28Speaker 1: they would condescendingly talk about us. They don't understand Middle
- 30:36Speaker 1: America and they don't want to.
- 30:38Speaker 2: They just want to look down on it.
- 30:40Speaker 1: And I want you to hear the CEO of Anheuser
- 30:44Speaker 1: Busch saying this, and watch how quickly he says it. Okay,
- 30:46Speaker 1: about the massive sales drops and the people shooting the
- 30:49Speaker 1: bud light cans.
- 30:52Speaker 6: Appling with that handling that.
- 30:54Speaker 9: I think it's the impact, honestly on the employees that
- 30:57Speaker 9: weighs most on me. But again, as I mentioned, seeing
- 31:00Speaker 9: the pride in the commitment that they have working on
- 31:03Speaker 9: behalf of a one hundred and sixty five plus year
- 31:05Speaker 9: old American institution is what gives us energy as we
- 31:10Speaker 9: as we look to move forward and focus on what
- 31:12Speaker 9: we do best.
- 31:13Speaker 1: So you're supposed to feel sorry, Franheuser Busch for doing this,
- 31:16Speaker 1: even though they haven't said they're sorry to you, even
- 31:19Speaker 1: though they haven't said they alienated to you and they
- 31:21Speaker 1: screwed up, even as they're given an opportunity to say, yeah,
- 31:24Speaker 1: we wouldn't do this again. It was just a bad decision,
- 31:26Speaker 1: a bad choice by these marketing people who are no
- 31:28Speaker 1: longer with the company.
- 31:30Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's not it.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Now, if you want to know who's to blame, CBS
- 31:34Speaker 1: News was helping out Anheuser Busch. They believe that this
- 31:39Speaker 1: CEO is a hero because he stayed with it and
- 31:43Speaker 1: stuck with it and isn't flinching and is still there
- 31:46Speaker 1: at Anheiser Busch and hasn't quit gone home and cried.
- 31:49Speaker 2: So he's somehow the hero in all this.
- 31:52Speaker 1: And then if you want to know who they blame,
- 31:53Speaker 1: it's Republicans, it's conservatives.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Listen, many people.
- 31:56Speaker 10: In your position, mister Wentworth, would be running for the
- 31:59Speaker 10: hills at this point, because since April you all have
- 32:01Speaker 10: faced a lot of incoming.
- 32:03Speaker 6: How and why did it did it go.
- 32:06Speaker 10: So off the rails, because that certainly wasn't your intention
- 32:09Speaker 10: when you did.
- 32:09Speaker 6: One can to one person.
- 32:11Speaker 9: It's been a challenging few weeks, and I think the
- 32:15Speaker 9: conversation surrounding bud Light has moved away from beer, and
- 32:19Speaker 9: the conversation has become divisive, and bud Light really does.
- 32:23Speaker 1: By the way, who did that? Who moved it away
- 32:25Speaker 1: from beer?
- 32:27Speaker 2: Right?
- 32:28Speaker 1: Anyone want to talk about that? Who moved the conversation
- 32:31Speaker 1: away from beer. Right, this has really moved away from beer,
- 32:35Speaker 1: as he described it, Well, they did. They're the ones
- 32:38Speaker 1: that moved away with this woe agenda, trying to get
- 32:42Speaker 1: you to believe, okay, that somehow you should want to
- 32:50Speaker 1: drink beer with a dude with a penis dressed like
- 32:52Speaker 1: a chick, telling you that you are this dude with
- 32:58Speaker 1: a penis is a woman when we all know it's
- 33:00Speaker 1: not a woman. And if you don't believe it, then
- 33:04Speaker 1: you're some sort of big in, a racist or homophobe
- 33:07Speaker 1: or naphobe, whatever you want to call it. Right, the
- 33:09Speaker 1: LGBTQ community will act. This community will come after you.
- 33:13Speaker 1: So bud Light is now mad that they decide to
- 33:18Speaker 1: have a conversation that had nothing to do Okay, it
- 33:23Speaker 1: had nothing to do.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Let me say it again, it had nothing to do
- 33:34Speaker 2: with beer.
- 33:36Speaker 1: And now they're saying it's sad and unfortunate that we're
- 33:38Speaker 1: having this conversation that deals with beer or outside of beer.
- 33:43Speaker 1: You the ones that decide to do this, sir, nobody
- 33:46Speaker 1: else put a gun to your head and said, hire
- 33:48Speaker 1: a dude and promote a dude with a penis who
- 33:52Speaker 1: acts like a woman during Women's Month.
- 33:55Speaker 6: It doesn't belong there bud Light.
- 33:56Speaker 9: It should be all about bringing people together and there's
- 33:59Speaker 9: an impact on the business and I think that's publicly
- 34:01Speaker 9: covered on bud Light specifically.
- 34:03Speaker 10: Yeah, so what was your intention take USI what was
- 34:06Speaker 10: your intention? What were you all trying to do here?
- 34:08Speaker 10: And you've done this before, these promotional campaigns.
- 34:11Speaker 9: Yeah, it was just to be clear, it was it
- 34:13Speaker 9: was a gift and it and it was and it
- 34:15Speaker 9: was one can. But for us, you know, as we
- 34:18Speaker 9: as we look to kind of the future and we
- 34:20Speaker 9: looked to moving forward, we have to understand the impact
- 34:24Speaker 9: that that's had. And like I said, you know, uh
- 34:26Speaker 9: that that impact has has taken place.

- 35:04Speaker 1: would be demanding a new CEO after watching this interview.

- 35:12Speaker 1: if you're a shareholder, by the way of Anheuser Busch,
- 35:15Speaker 1: you should be enraged by what they're doing with your
- 35:18Speaker 1: money and your harder investments. Right now, by the way,

- 35:25Speaker 1: one percent since this interview took place, So it's costing
- 35:31Speaker 1: them real money.
