• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcoming as verdict with Ted Cruz week in Review Ben
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ferguson with you, and these are the stories that you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: may have missed that we talked about this week. First up,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's gun has been in evidence, and guess what
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: was on that gun in the case it was holding
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that gun none other than a white substance. It's now
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: been confirmed as cocaine. So why did it take from
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen until now? Well, it was probably a part
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of the big cover up. We'll have more about that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in a moment. Also, ESPN they knew they were giving
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: fake awards to people that were on air personalities, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: they'd been doing it for decades and they finally got caught.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So why is the rest of the media not calling
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: them out for this? And finally, Hunter Biden's laptop something
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we already knew four years ago it was real, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: now the Department of Justice has admitted that in fact,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it is real and they knew it all along. Is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: there going to be any accountability for that weekend review?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And it starts right now, Senator, I want to turn
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to something else real quick, and it's another issue that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you're not going to hear about probably anywhere but here,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and you might see it on Fox. Hunter Biden is
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: back in the news barely keyword barely, and The Washington
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Post Matt Weiser tweeted this out, saying, in a new
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: court filing, the Department of Justice said they pulled Hunter
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Biden's gun from evidence in twenty twenty three and found
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a white substance on the leather gun pouch. An FBI
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: chemist determined it was cocaine. To be clear, quote, investigators
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant has
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: kept his gun, and yet no one's talking about cocaine
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: found on the leather pouch of the president's son's firearm.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Really, so look, Hunter Biden is a world of trouble.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Anyone who pays attention knows that this filing this week
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: from the Department of Justice was really stunning. It is
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a felony for someone who has a substance abuse problems,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: for someone who's using illegal drugs to.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Have a firearm.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Here's what the Biden Department of Justice said in their
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: written brief filed in court. I just want to read this.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It is the following paragraph title, Cocaine was found on
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the defendant's brown leather gun pouch.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Here's what the paragraph says.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant's firearm,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: being Hunter Biden. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a white pottery substance on the defendant's brown leather pouch
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that had held the defendant's firearm in October twenty eighteen.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Based on their training an expertise, investigators believed that this
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the messages that investigators had obtained, which showed the defendant
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: buying and using drugs in October twenty eighteen. An FBI
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: where the defendant had kept his gun. Now, look, this
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is reminiscent of Bob Menendez having evidence in his closet
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of a jacket with the US Senate seal on it
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: with the name Senator Menendez typed on it with a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: packet of ten thousand dollars in its pocket, with the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: fingerprints of the Egyptians who were allegedly bribed him in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: his pocket. Like I got to tell you, I practiced
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: law a lot of years. You don't get evidence like this.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You don't get evidence that ties every piece of it together.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: The fact that Hunter his gun case had cocaine on it,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and the FBI is determined yep, that's cocaine on his
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: gun case. The felony is possessing a firearm while using
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: illegal drugs. Your gun case has cocaine on it. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: don't care how bad a lawyer you are, that ain't
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: hard to prove. And and let's be clear, the Biden
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: DOJ was prepared to give a sweetheart deal to Hunter,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Biden give him a slap on the wrist and have
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: him serve zero, not a moment of jail time until
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: they got caught at it. And so this evidence.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: By the way, while they knew that the crime had committed,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: which is a felony, lying on this form to buy
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a gun. I mean, you can't make not a center
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: cocaine on the pouch of the gun. How much easier
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: would it be for you to have a cage than this.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Look, I want to say something original that's never been
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: said before cocaine.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: She don't lie, She don't lie. Cocaine. Yeah yeah, welcome
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to your DOJ right now.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: If you're the President's signed, you can have cocaine on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: your gun and they still will try to give you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a sweetheart deal to cover it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: By the way, but Ben, don't forget the mystery of
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the century. The Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the entire a massed forces of the federal government cannot
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: figure out who left a packet of cocaine in the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: White House. With cameras everywhere and security guards everywhere, it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a mystery. Who the hell can figure it out? And
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: his name might rhyme with bunter Heyden.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: All right, I can, I can.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I can ask this because it's a podcast, I can
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: use this word, So I'm gonna use it. Which one
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and we'll end with this center pisses you off off
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: more that they can't figure out who's cocaine it was
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the White House, or that they can't figure out
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: who leaked the decision coming out of the Supreme Court
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: on Roe v.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Wade.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So let me break those down. And I actually I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: joking with the bunter Hyden thing, but as we said
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: on a previous podcast, and go back, I actually don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: think it's Hunter Biden's cocaine, really, okay, because and we
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: talked about this, right, that's.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Right, because I believe it totally is.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: No, it's not because the place it's at is where
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the staff goes in and out. I think it's a staffer.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the chief of staff or
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the deputy chief of staff or a senior official, but
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it's an employee, and probably a senior employee. But I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: don't know that of the Biden White House because Hunter Biden,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: as the presidential son, doesn't go through the staff entrance
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to the West Wing. I go through all there all
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I used to. I haven't been there in years, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: when Trump was president, I went through there all the time.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: That's where staff goes in and out. It's not where
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the first family goes in and out. And so I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: actually think the cover up there is they are hiding
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: for a staffer who was dumb enough to bring his
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: or her cocaine into the White House. So I was
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: being a smart ass saying saying it was Hunter Biden's,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: but I actually don't think that's Hunters. I do think
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the cocaine on his gun pouch was Hunters, but that's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a different thing between the two. It's not even close
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: in terms of what the public consequence is, which is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the leaking of the draft opinion from the Supreme Court
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: was consequential at historic levels. It undermined the rule of law,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It undermined the Supreme Court, and I think it is
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: an absolute outrage that they have not tracked down and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: prosecuted the person who did so. So between the two,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: it's not even close. But I got to say, more
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: broadly on the cocaine issue, Look, this DOJ filing illustrates
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that the evidence against Hunter is compelling. It's overwhelming. And
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: mind you that the Biden DOJ has let the most
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: serious offenses, has let the statute limitations expire. They're trying
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to let him off. Remember remember, remember we said this
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: in our last podcast. The target of this investigation, if
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you're looking at the public interest, is not and should
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: not be Hunter Biden. The guy is a poor, sad
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: sack who's got enormous problems. But the reason this is
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: a matter of public import is because Joe Biden, Daddy Biden,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: who's the President of the United States has now years
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and even decades of history of corruption, of selling official
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: favors for millions of dollars going to his family, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: so this filing from the Biden DOJ just shows they've
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: got the evidence like crazy, and yet they're bending over.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you, Ben, do you think all right?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You own a gun store? Yeah, I want to ask
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: you a question. At your gun store, if the FBI
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: came in and found cocaine on a brown leather package
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that was holding guns, what do you think how do
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you think they would treat Ben Ferguson.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I would be in jail and it would be bad. Yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't even be up for debate.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: But like not close, like sing sing, don't bend over
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: for the soap. Ben, nice to know you. I'll write
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: your letter, I'll bake you a cake and put a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: file in it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That and that would be how they would treat I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: think pretty much anybody that doesn't have the connections that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: he has.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Now, if your name were Benjamin Biden, by the way,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you would be driving a sweet car, you might have
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a private play, and you would be living life well
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: because you'd be able to sell favors from daddy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: from earlier this week.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Now onto story number two.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: All right, lastly, I do have to ask you about
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a story. And you love sports as much as I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: love sports. I watch a lot of sports. It's my
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: way of just, you know, disconnecting from the political world.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: There was one story this week that just made me
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: so happy that ESPN got busted. The same people that
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: are so sanctimonious about anybody that they think might be
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: doing something wrong in sports, and they got all in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: on the Black Lives Matter and all the kneeling protests
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and stood behind people that were kneeling.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: So this happened this week.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: ESPN took awards won by imaginary people whose names they
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: submitted on purpose, so John Do Jane Doo right, people
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that didn't work for them, didn't even exist, they knew
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: didn't exist, and then had these awards after they won,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: re engraved to give quote on air personalities statues. ESPN
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: awarded the trophies to front facing figures to give them
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: more clout. So this was like a clear conspiracy to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: like raise the the you know the stature of their
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: own on air people. They gave these figures to college
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: game day hosts such as Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreet, Chris Fowler,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Desmond Howard, and Sam Ponder. This is because quote hosts
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: were not eligible to be honored in a credit list
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: until twenty twenty three. Now, this scheme was something that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: went on, not for like a year or two, went
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: on for decades. What happened well until twenty twenty three.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: They said, we were just trying to give them what
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we thought was so they needed. They're now being forced
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to give the statues back. I gotta get your reaction
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to it. It's amazing.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, like a lot of sports fans, ESPN pisses
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: me off. ESPN pisses me off because they've decided in
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: recent years that they don't actually really care about sports.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: They care about woke politics.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And so they spend it seems more time lecturing us
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: about their radical politics than actually covering sports, like watching
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: amazing plays, watching great catches in the end zones, watching
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: you know, tomahawk dunks or crushing blocks, or you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: amazing Grand Slam hits. I mean, sports is fun to watch,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: but they said no, no, no, we're political commentators. We're
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: left wing, and you know what, MSNBC is not woke
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: enough for us. We can be to the left of MSNBC,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: and it pisses me off because most sports fans are
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: not hardcore Marxist. We're watching it because we enjoy it,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and so ESPN it is almost worth watching it on mute.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I don't quite do that, because you do learn. When
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: they cover sports, you occasionally learn some interesting things, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: so I like, you know, I like hearing the commentary
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: of you know so and so. This is, for example,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the the Cleveland Browns. I learned when the Texans were winning,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: were the first team in twenty years to make the
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: playoffs after leading the NFL in turnovers.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I did not know that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: It's it that's kind of interesting, you know. And flaccoh Look,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Flack was a very good quarterback. He just has a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: bad habit of throwing interceptions. But he's still he's an
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: old dude. So I sort of like watching old dudes
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that are not not yet put out the bad habit.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: As long as he's on the other team, I love
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: that habit.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: It was they weren't interceptions they were great passes to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: our defenders and needed needed to score. Our defense almost
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: outscored the offense. I mean that was the fourteen points
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: from the d is pretty good.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway, that's commentary you like to hear. That's kind of
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: an interesting fact TOOI And it's like, huh, I didn't
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: know that, but instead ESPN just yabbers on and it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: a corporate decision.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Corporate It's I don't even I remember. I remember when
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I saw the change in real life. You remember on
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: ESPN two they used to show Cole Pizza. They would
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: have on guests. I was a guest that did that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: show regularly, and I did it when there was a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: controversy that was quasi kind of like political in nature
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: with it with sports, and they used to have both sides,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they said, hey, we
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: basically ban all conservatives.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. By the way, I'm curious, check me on this.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: When when Daily Wire came out with with their movie
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Lady Baller, in which yours truly has a cameo.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Now it's a sports movie. It's a sports movie.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I wonder if you'll get an Emmy for that, Like
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: if they because that's a real name. They could at
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: least nominate.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: But my question, did ESPN cover the movie Lady Ballers.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Which was a sports movie. They should have at least
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: mentioned it's a sports movie.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: It's really funny. It's like dodgeball. It's really funny.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: The premise of Lady Ballers, which if you haven't watched it,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you ought to go watch it because you'll laugh. It's
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: well done. I have a tiny cameo, so my part
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: is completely inconsequential. But the premise is a bunch of
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: guys in their forties who, when they were in high
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: school where the state champion in basketball, decide to pretend
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: they're women and dominate women's basketball.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: It's really damn funny. It's amazing.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: No one's made this movie for twenty years because it's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: an obvious premise, but they do it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: BEAUTI very predictable movie that should have been made.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: But no one would.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: And by the way, most Hollywood actors won't participate in
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: it because they'd be blackballed for daring to laugh at
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the idioces of the woke left.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: ESPN would never acknowledge it exists, but we now know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and this story is amazing that ESPN in addition to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: being woke leftist propagandists, they are liars. They are engaged
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: in active fraud decades. And understand what this lie is.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: It's really quite stunning. So they're submitting to an award
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: show to win awards, and they're asked to list all
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of the crew. So if we give you an award,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: who deserves it and they just for decades put fake
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: names there. Yeah, now they want a bunch of these awards,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: and so they'd get the award statues with a fake name.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: You know, you might say that is a Mickey Mouse award, Well,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: it might have been a Mickey Mouse award. It might
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: have been awarded to Mickey Mouse because they they just
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: they made up names of human beings that don't exist,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: not even people that didn't work on the show. Just
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: totally made up names. And why did they do it?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Because they wanted the little statuette.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah's a big deal.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: To pull the name played off and put somebody else's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: name that was their on air talent, and their on
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: air talent was ineligible. And understand esp is being forced
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to return.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's thirty thirty seven thirty seven thirty seven
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: so they were ordered ESPN to return a total of
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: thirty seven trophies, each of which was intended for a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes employee who does not exist. Former ESPN
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: reporter Shelley Smith told The New York Times that in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty three, executive Stephanie Dooley ordered her
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to return her two Sports Emmy statues. Duley apparently told
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: her that it was a serious matter and that the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: reason must stay between them. So it wasn't just that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they got busted. There was in a cover up to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: make sure that the story didn't go public after they
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: were ordered to get back the thirty seven.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Try So, Ben, I'm gonna go online and I'm going
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to see if you can order a fake Emmy, and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to order a fake Emmy with the name
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse. And then when it arrives, I'm gonna take
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse off and I'm gonna put Ben Ferguson on.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I'll get you won for Lady Ballers, and I'll just
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: just make it up because.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Well but I want to put the Emmy up our
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: our Emmy Award winning podcast, because you know what, we
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: won as many Emmy's as the on talent at ESPN
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: They are literally fraudulent liars.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And let me ask you a question. For every on
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: air talent who had the statue in his office, who
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: had it on TV, how many of them have apologized?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: How many of them have gone on air and said,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you know what, I went on TV with an Emmy
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: behind me that I didn't win, and it was fake
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and it was fraudulent, and I'm sorry for lying to you.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: And by the way, if their claim is oh, we
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: didn't know, how many of them have said I want
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: to apologize. I didn't know, but my bosses did. Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and my bosses put it up because they were lying
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: to you. They claimed to be a journalistic outlet, but
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: they are engaged in fraud and they're lying to you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: As far as I can tell, there has been zero
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: journalistic integrity nobody at ESPN.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Time, and there's a cover up.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: That's the best part of the story is not only
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: were they busted, but ESPN executives are saying this has
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to stay between you and I. I need your Emmy back,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and don't talk about it. Don't tell anybody I need
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: it back quickly. We don't want anybody in the public
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to find. Now, we were doing this for decades.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: By the way, I really want to know the names
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: of the fake employees, like how good they were? Yeah,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: did they do John Doe? Did they do Mickey Mouse?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Did they do who flung du Like? Like like what
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: what kind of you know, peaking duck? Like what what
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: kind of names did they go with? That would be
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: great to know. I feel confident we will never know
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: because ESPN and their parrot company will do everything they
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: can to say nothing to see here.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: This is Disney, right, just just to throw that out there, right,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't I think that's right?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So to be fair, maybe Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse distressed.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Maybe they gave the name plate to Mickey Mouse.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: So it was a two fer, you know, the Seven
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Dwarves all one Emmys, Sleepy got one.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I like that, Well done, Well done to ESPN, good
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: job try to cover it up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And I'm so glad they got roasted as before.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: on this topic, you can go back and dow the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: podcasts from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I want to get back to the big story Number
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: three of the week, you may have missed center. Lastly,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I want to move to another story that has broken.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: It's one that is captain obvious. Yeah, we already knew this,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and yet somehow we've finally gotten the admission of something
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: we all knew from the very beginning. Biden's Department of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Justice is admitting now that Hunter Biden's laptop is in
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: fact real. Four years after Biden's Laptop from Hell was
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: falsely labeled misinformation, the DOJ is admitting it's real. We
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: also knew at the time they knew it was real,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and the FBI knew it was real. And we also
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: now know that those fifty plus leaders in the intelligence community,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: they knew that it was real when they lied to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the American people to influence the election in the last
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: presidential cycle.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Your reaction to this.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Look, this is a stunning admission. It means Joe Biden
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: lied to the American people. Hunter Biden lied to the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: American people. Just About every single elected Democrat in America
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: lied to the American people. Just about every single corporate
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: media outlet that repeated the Democrat talking points lied to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the American people. I want to read you what the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Biden Department of Justice just filed the Federal court. This
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: is from a brief and the heading is while investigating
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the defendant for tax violations, investigators obtained evidence showing his
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: prior gun purchase was illegal because he was addicted to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: controlled substances. And here's the paragraph. In August twenty nineteen,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: IRS and FBI investigators obtained a search warrant for tax
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: violation for defendant's Apple iCloud account. In response to that warrant,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: in September of twenty nineteen, Apple produced backups of data
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: from various of the defendant's electronic devices that he had
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: backed up to his iCloud account. Investigators also later came
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: into possession of the defendant's Apple MacBook Pro, which he
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: had left at a computer store. A search warrant was
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: also obtained for his laptop, and the results of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: search were largely duplicative of information investigators had already obtained
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: for Apple. That means the Biden Department of Justice is
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: admitting the Hunter laptop is real. It was his laptop,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: he left it the repair station. The information on it
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: is accurate. They knew it was accurate. They knew it
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: was accurate. In twenty nineteen, they knew it was accurate
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: because they had the information from Hunter Biden's apple iCloud
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: account and it was the same thing, so they knew
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: it was real, and yet they did not make that public.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: And Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and just about every
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: elected Democrat lied to the American people and said this
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: is not real, this is not his laptop, this is
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Russian misinformation, this is planted by Vladimir Putin and the media.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: The corporate meeting was utterly complicit. They repeated it over
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and over and over again, and by the way, to
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the best of my knowledge, so we now have the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Biden DOJ saying every word they said was a lie.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not aware of a single corporate media outlet that
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: has apologized, that has retracted what they've said. The New
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: York Times, to the best of my knowledge, has not,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: The Washington Post has not, ABCNBCCBS is not, MSNBC has not,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: CNN has not. They are perfectly happy to have lied
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: to the American people, and by the way, lied to
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: the American people in October of twenty twenty, right before
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the presidential election. They all lied to the American people.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And now the Biden DOJ has admitted it was a lie,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and doj knew it was a lie then, and they
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: were perfectly happy with that lie being told to the
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: American people.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Well, and let's play the liar in chief.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: This is the then candidate Joe Biden at a president
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to debate, standing next to Donald Trump, and I'll start
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: with this lie. And then you can hear him throughout
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that entire campaign cycle.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Fifty former national intelligence folks who said that what this
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: he's accusing me of is a Russian plant. They have
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: said that this has all the four five former heads
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: of the CIA, both parties say what he's saying is
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: a bunch of garbage. This is classic Trump. We have
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: four days left and all of a sudden, there's a laptop.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: There's overwhelming evidence that from the intelligence community that the
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Russians are engaged, and.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: They'll think that the story from the fall of Altri.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Simebunder said, yes, yes, yes, I know you'd ask it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: I have no response.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: An it's the lastest effort in this desperate campaign to
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: smear me and my family. The vast majority of the
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: intelligence people have come out and said there's no basis at.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: All, no basis at all, turns out he was lying
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the entire time. By the way, he knew it was
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the laptop of his son.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: He knew it wasn't.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: And hundred did too, and the DOJ knew it as well,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and the FBI knew as well. At this point, center,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: how do you trust anything coming out of this FBI
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and this DOJ.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: If this is what they're doing in the process.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: They've demonstrated that they're willing to be partisans, They're willing
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to lie to the American people, and they don't feel
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: they have any obligation to the truth. I mean, this
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: does enormous damage to the Department of Justice, the FBI
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: because they knew as a fact that what Biden was saying,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: that what was being said public was a total lie.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: And by the way, the fifty quote intelligence professional professionals.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: You know who organized that group?
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Who was that?
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Tony Blincoln and.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Sectaryquaken's job was then he was working for the Biden campaign.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: He was working for the Biden campaign, and he got rewarded.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I get to say, as a president about the biggest
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: plum you have to offer is Secretary of State is
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: the most prestigious cabinet position. And for the job of
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: organizing all these intelligence officials to lie. Every one of
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: these fifty. By the way, a reporter, if there's any
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: honest reporter in America, they ought to ask every one
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: of these fifty you lied to the American people weeks
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: before a presidential election. Are you embarrassed? Or do you
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: apologize to the American people? What did you do wrong
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: to cause you to lie to the American people? Did
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you abuse their trust? Are you and shamed of your role?
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think there'll be a single reporter that asked
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: them that, because the corporate media participated the lies as well.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: They're not embarrassed, they're not ashamed, and they're certainly not
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: going to ask the liars who participated in What is
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about election interference?
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: This is blatant election interference.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Not only that, but it brings up a new lie.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It's one that Representive James Comer was talking about on Hannity.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: He had this to say about the new lie from
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the Biden crime family, about the art
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that his son was selling.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Take a listen. Let me ask you about the other
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: two issues. The stories that John Solomon was reporting on
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: one is the art dealer and the testimony that was given.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Were we not told that they had an ethics agreement
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: that Hunter would not know the people that purchased his art.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Now we know that Joe Biden, the big guy himself,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: was speaking to the art dealer directly. That was testimony
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: apparently that you received. And what do you have to
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: say about the cocaine that the FBI knew about in
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: twenty eighteen as it relates to his gun holster. We
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: have only about a minute left.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: This is another major law that Joe Bidens told the
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: American people. The White House said they had an agreement
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: in place to provide maximum ethics. We really thought they
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: probably had something in place. It probably wasn't worth the
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: paper that it was written on. But we were shocked
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: to learn from George Burgess in the Transcrib interview that
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: he's never even heard from anyone from the White House.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: He didn't know anything about an ethics agreement. He had
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: never even seen in the news where there was an
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: ethics agreement. So you know, again, another live about Joe Biden,
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: another live of.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: The White House.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: Nothing is painting out that Joe Biden said with respect
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: to his family, shady business teams. We're gonna bring Hunter
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Biden in. We're going to get answers from from all
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: of these people.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: They're going to get answers from all these people. These
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: are just some of the questions they're going to get
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to ask in theory if he shows up, Hunter Biden,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And I gotta imagine that if you're you know, any
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: one of these Republican congressmen are women that may get
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to ask him questions, or James Comer, Jim Jordan, you've
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: got to be chomping at the bit to get answers.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I got to say, we're really in an unusual
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: moment of time. Listen, Politicians are not known for tremendous honesty.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: To put it mildly, but as a general matter, presidents
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: of the United States do not routinely lie to the
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: American people. And I'm not suggesting that because all of
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: our presidents have been paragons of integrity. I think there
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: have been presidents that would certainly have been willing to lie.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: But the reason presidents typically don't commit direct lies to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the American people is they get caught, and when they
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: get caught, it undermines their credibility and it hurts you.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: And most politicians, even if they're venal and self serving,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: they don't want to get caught to lie because it
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: hurts their credibility. The Biden presidency has been unique in
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: the history of our country with the willingness of Joe
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Biden and every person who works for him to lie
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: on a daily basis, over and over and over again
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: and not spin. Look, everyone spins. I don't fault a
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: White House Democrat or a Republican for spinning, for trying
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: to put a good twist on the facts, but straight
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: out lies things that are demonstrably absolutely false. What you
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: just played Joe Biden saying this laptop is Russian disinformation.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: He knew it was his son's laptop. His son knew
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: it was his son's laptop. It was his son's laptop.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: It was a flat out lie. There's not that that's
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: not a matter of perspective. That's just blatantly false. Why
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: is it that Joe Biden, unique among presidents, lies on
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: seemingly a daily basis to the American people? And the
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: reason is because the American corporate media is broken. You
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: want to know who's responsible for Biden's lying. Jake Tapper,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and you and I have talked about in my last
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: book that just came out a couple of months ago, Unwoke,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America. I have an
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: entire chapter I talk about the leftist takeover in major institutions.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I have an entire chapter on journalism, and I talk
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: about how Jake Tapper used to be a journalist. He
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: used to care about truth, and then Trump broke him
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: and he is now a propaganda see is a shell
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: of his former self. You know, Jake Tapper, you work
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: for years for CNN. Jake Tapper knows that Biden is
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: lying on a daily basis. And you know what Jake
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Tapper doesn't do, He doesn't call about. And the fact
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: that Jake Tapper behaves like a cheerleader and pretorian guard
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: for the White House, like a propagandist for the White House,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: like Pravda for the White House, it makes the White
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: House more and more likely to lie because they know
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: they will not get caught anywhere other than Fox News
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: and right wing media, and they don't care what they say.
• 30:31
