00:00:58.000 Hunter Biden and more.
00:00:59.000 Buckle up.
00:01:00.000 Here we go.
00:01:01.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:03.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:05.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:09.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:12.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:13.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:14.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:22.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:31.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:34.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is the number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?
00:01:40.000 My work schedule has been really hectic.
00:01:42.000 You guys all know that.
00:01:43.000 And I'm noticing it starting to wear me down.
00:01:45.000 Even when I'm getting all my workouts in, I find it that I can still feel like I'm somewhat stressed.
00:01:50.000 That's why I'm excited to share more about a magnesium product I discovered.
00:01:54.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactions in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.
00:01:59.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.
00:02:05.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and not full spectrum.
00:02:09.000 When you get seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.
00:02:14.000 With this one simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, be more productive, and feel less anxious.
00:02:20.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:02:40.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:02:42.000 Happy Easter Monday.
00:02:44.000 So much happening in the country right now.
00:02:46.000 And I want to go over through some of the new over some of the news the last couple days.
00:02:50.000 That was it happened and then no one really talked about it.
00:02:56.000 It's always interesting for me to see who decides to go do press the Thursday and Friday before a holiday weekend.
00:03:06.000 Whomever does that, they're doing it for a very specific reason.
00:03:10.000 It's not by a mistake.
00:03:12.000 And someone who we've been wondering about, just kind of asking a question, is he okay?
00:03:19.000 Is he still doing business deals with foreign adversaries?
00:03:22.000 Is Hunter Biden?
00:03:24.000 Now, you probably wouldn't know this if you were just reading the New York Times, because according to the New York Times, the number one news story on the front page of the New York Times is white evangelical resistance is obstacle and vaccination push.
00:03:38.000 That's the New York Times.
00:03:40.000 The day after Easter, the New York Times says white evangelical resistance is obstacle and vaccination push.
00:03:48.000 So you probably wouldn't know this if you were reading the New York Times or even the Wall Street Journal.
00:03:54.000 Wall Street Journal doesn't mention this.
00:03:55.000 they're a little bit more fair.
00:04:00.000 Mostly business-related stories.
00:04:03.000 But Hunter Biden did a long interview on CBS the other day.
00:04:10.000 And a couple outlets covered it.
00:04:13.000 But then Easter comes and there's Good Friday and Holy Saturday and Resurrection Sunday.
00:04:20.000 And we don't really dissect what was said.
00:04:23.000 But before we get into that, Let me ask the most obvious question that everyone is missing about Hunter Biden sitting down with CBS.
00:04:31.000 Why is he doing this interview?
00:04:34.000 This is the most obvious and important question.
00:04:37.000 You don't just sit down and call an interview a CBS because you feel like it.
00:04:41.000 Hunter Biden is under zero pressure to do media.
00:04:46.000 I mean, obviously, we're clamoring for him to answer questions, but we don't matter to the left.
00:04:52.000 They do whatever they want regardless.
00:04:54.000 If what we said mattered, Eric Swallow would not be a congressman.
00:04:58.000 If what we said mattered, Elon Omar would not be a congresswoman.
00:05:02.000 I'm not saying that we shouldn't say it, but we have very little pull over the ruling class of the Democrat Party.
00:05:08.000 They're going to do what they want regardless of how much pressure we put on them.
00:05:12.000 If our pressure mattered, Governor Ralph Norland would have resigned as governor of Virginia.
00:05:18.000 So why is Hunter Biden sitting down and doing this interview?
00:05:22.000 That's the most important and initial question.
00:05:27.000 So from just watching the interview, it was a really bizarre conversation.
00:05:32.000 He's just kind of chatting.
00:05:34.000 And so we know that Hunter Biden is under active criminal federal investigation.
00:05:42.000 And we know that Hunter Biden, let's just say, participated in some less than seemly moral activities in the past.
00:05:55.000 And so Hunter Biden sits down with CBS the weekend before Easter, you decide to go on a media blitz.
00:06:06.000 Let's listen to what he has to say, and then we can conjecture why he might be doing this.
00:06:12.000 Let's start with cut seven.
00:06:14.000 Hunter Biden on CBS saying that he doesn't know, but the laptop, remember the very famous laptop, could be his playtape.
00:06:22.000 Was that your laptop?
00:06:23.000 For real.
00:06:24.000 I don't know.
00:06:24.000 I know, but you know, I really don't know what the answer is.
00:06:28.000 You don't know yes or no if the laptops have no idea.
00:06:32.000 So it could have been yours.
00:06:33.000 Of course, certainly.
00:06:34.000 There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me.
00:06:37.000 There could be that I was hacked.
00:06:38.000 It could be that it was Russian intelligence.
00:06:42.000 It could be that it was stolen from me. 0.81
00:06:45.000 This is such JV reporting. 0.96
00:06:48.000 I know these reporters can do better.
00:06:50.000 Do you know why?
00:06:52.000 I saw them with immense full court pressure flood the zone against Donald Trump.
00:06:58.000 I saw them ask the tough questions.
00:07:00.000 I saw them find documents that talented journalists would have to find.
00:07:07.000 A real question should be, no, no, no.
00:07:09.000 Hunter, is this picture of you wearing no clothes that's now on the Chinese internet that's X-rated and that's all I'm going to say about that?
00:07:18.000 Is this you?
00:07:19.000 Yes or no?
00:07:21.000 That'd be a pretty interesting question to ask on camera.
00:07:24.000 You see, CBS is not even interested in the ratings.
00:07:27.000 CBS would have the most interesting piece of television of the entire year.
00:07:34.000 Do you think if Donald Trump Jr. sat down for an interview with CBS and they had X-rated material that is now circulating on the Chinese internet of him allegedly with underage people, that's just allegedly, do you think that they would confront Donald Trump Jr. with those pictures and say, hey, is this you yes or no?
00:07:55.000 Of course, they would.
00:07:56.000 Instead, Hunter Biden, for the first time, admits the laptop could be real.
00:08:02.000 So, what's the significance of that?
00:08:04.000 Well, outside of Hunter Biden being a very morally questionable person, it actually opens the door to the current president of the United States and his business dealings.
00:08:17.000 Hunter Biden admitted that his father very well might have been involved in business dealings with the Chinese.
00:08:27.000 Cut nine, Hunter Biden tells Anthony Mason in a separate interview in this very strange media blitz that he's being fully cooperative with the federal investigation.
00:08:36.000 Play cut nine.
00:08:37.000 There's a federal tax investigation interview.
00:08:40.000 Where does that stand now?
00:08:42.000 They're investigating.
00:08:44.000 I can't really talk about it other than to say that I'm fully cooperative and I'm fully confident that at the end of the day, it's all going to be fine.
00:08:52.000 Is your legal team working on any kind of a plea deal?
00:08:54.000 Oh, no.
00:08:57.000 I am absolutely certain that what we're doing is being completely cooperative with whoever is asking from any authority whatsoever.
00:09:08.000 They got him.
00:09:09.000 It's that simple.
00:09:10.000 I'm going to tell you why he's doing these interviews.
00:09:13.000 He's very worried.
00:09:16.000 He's doing the Andrew McCabe strategy.
00:09:20.000 I was going to think of this guy's name.
00:09:22.000 He's doing the Andrew McCabe strategy, trying to prevent a grand jury indictment against him.
00:09:26.000 It's that simple.
00:09:27.000 There is no other reason to go on this media blitz.
00:09:30.000 No one asked for it.
00:09:31.000 No one's pressuring it.
00:09:32.000 There was no new revelations.
00:09:34.000 The media just doesn't care. 0.80
00:09:36.000 Of course, CBS will sit down and offer softball type questions. 0.85
00:09:40.000 Of course.
00:09:42.000 You could tell by the inflection in Hunter Biden's voice.
00:09:45.000 You could tell by the staging and the fact that he did two interviews for no real reason whatsoever because Hunter Biden wanted to admit that he was a bad person.
00:09:57.000 And we'll get to those that tape in a second.
00:10:00.000 And then there's something that he wanted to say to the world.
00:10:05.000 There's something specific that he wanted to communicate.
00:10:08.000 They just wanted to slip into there.
00:10:11.000 And mind you, this is not the number one news story.
00:10:14.000 So mission accomplished.
00:10:15.000 You do it before a holiday weekend because they wanted something to get into the news cycle.
00:10:23.000 Whatever that is, we're going to have to try to find it.
00:10:28.000 And this is now becoming a clear and present threat against Joe Biden.
00:10:34.000 And so Hunter Biden probably met with his father and discussed this.
00:10:41.000 Now, if the media was doing their job, they would go to Merrick Garland and say, Merrick Garland, are you recusing yourself from this investigation because you were appointed by the current president?
00:10:52.000 That's what a real media would do.
00:10:53.000 That's what they did against Jeff Sessions, and Jeff Sessions agreed.
00:10:58.000 Instead, Hunter Biden is going on these long interviews, who again is the son of the president of the United States, talking how he's being fully cooperative to federal investigators into his taxes.
00:11:12.000 Let me tell you right now, a tax dispute does not warrant the full weight of the federal government or two interviews right before a holiday weekend with CBS.

00:12:32.000 So let's get to cut 10 here of 60 Minutes claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story can't be verified.
00:12:41.000 This was a little bit of a flashback while interviewing Trump.
00:12:45.000 Content.
00:12:47.000 I think it's one of the biggest scandals I've ever seen, and you don't cover it.
00:12:51.000 Biggest you want to talk about.
00:12:53.000 Well, because it can't be verified.
00:12:54.000 You want to talk about insignificant things.
00:12:56.000 I'm telling you.
00:12:57.000 Of course, it can be verified.
00:12:59.000 Excuse me.
00:13:00.000 They found the laptop.
00:13:01.000 Leslie, Leslie.
00:13:03.000 What can be verified?
00:13:04.000 The laptop.
00:13:05.000 Why do you say that?
00:13:07.000 Even the family hasn't.
00:13:08.000 The family on the laptop he's gone into hiding for five days.
00:13:15.000 He's gone into hiding.
00:13:16.000 He's preparing for your delay.
00:13:18.000 Oh, it's taken him five days to prepare.
00:13:19.000 I doubt it.
00:13:20.000 I doubt it.
00:13:21.000 Okay.
00:13:21.000 All right.
00:13:23.000 So it was a little hard to hear because I think this was the White House actually filming the interview.
00:13:28.000 Because if you remember, this was the Kybosh 60 Minutes interview.
00:13:32.000 And they said that the laptop can't be verified.
00:13:34.000 Now, the media lost all interest in covering the Hunter Biden laptop saga.
00:13:41.000 Now, remember, going back to it, there was a laptop repair shop man in Delaware.
00:13:48.000 Someone came in with sunglasses that looked like Hunter Biden, dropped off the laptop.
00:13:54.000 Somehow, this laptop owner tried to contact Hunter Biden.
00:13:57.000 It got classified as abandoned property.
00:14:00.000 Rudy Giuliani, through his lawyer, Mr. Costello, got his laptop, started to publish the emails.
00:14:08.000 The New York Post started to publish the emails.
00:14:10.000 They lost access to all their social media accounts, despite the fact that there is X-rated, probably illegal material of Hunter Biden on the laptop floating around on the Chinese internet.
00:14:24.000 It's all over the place.
00:14:26.000 And the activist media seems completely uninterested in it. 1.00
00:14:30.000 And the biggest story of all of it is not the fact that Hunter Biden is a moral scumbag. 0.99
00:14:35.000 We know that. 0.98
00:14:37.000 And in a very strange way, Hunter Biden comes out and says, Yeah, I feel bad that I went and almost married my brother's widow.
00:14:45.000 Like, no one asked you about that, Hunter. 0.93
00:14:47.000 We already knew that you were a depraved person. 0.73
00:14:52.000 And I hope that you find Jesus Christ in your life and you need it. 0.92
00:14:55.000 And by the way, this is not even about Hunter Biden.
00:14:58.000 I sort of get exhausted talking about leaders' children.
00:15:02.000 Not exactly something that is super important to me.
00:15:06.000 It's only important because Hunter Biden involved his father, who is now in control of our government with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:15:15.000 And so when I saw these clips starting to circulate, and our team started to message me on Good Friday, they said, Hey, Hunter Biden just did a bunch of interviews.
00:15:25.000 I said, What are you talking about?
00:15:27.000 Why is he doing a bunch of interviews the weekend before Easter? 0.70
00:15:31.000 And if you look at basic crisis communication, the rule should be: Hunter Biden, keep your mouth shut.
00:15:37.000 You're under federal investigation criminally.
00:15:40.000 Why are you talking?
00:15:42.000 He's talking for one of two reasons.
00:15:45.000 It could be both.
00:15:46.000 The first reason is that he's worried that an indictment is looming and he's trying to prevent it through the court of public opinion with the jury pool.
00:15:58.000 That's number one.
00:15:59.000 Number two, there's something here that he wanted to be said.
00:16:03.000 So therefore, people are not surprised because then they could do the thing that the left does so well.
00:16:07.000 Oh, we already covered it.
00:16:08.000 It's already news.
00:16:10.000 So I think it's actually more likely, as I've watched these interviews in depth, that Hunter Biden wanted it to slip, that the laptop might be real.
00:16:24.000 My working hypothesis is that we are going to hear more about the laptop very soon.
00:16:31.000 Mark it down, write it down.
00:16:33.000 My predictions are rarely wrong.
00:16:35.000 Not bragging, just saying.
00:16:36.000 My predictions are rarely wrong when it comes to these things.
00:16:40.000 Now, Hunter Biden is surrounded by the top PR experts on the planet.
00:16:45.000 You must understand as we play more tape from this, that none of this is a mistake.
00:16:54.000 That everything you are seeing is scripted, rehearsed.
00:16:59.000 It's almost like a movie.
00:17:01.000 You're dealing with a friendly questioner.
00:17:05.000 When Hunter Biden sits down with Anthony Mason, it's the same as when Donald Trump sits down with Sean Hannity.
00:17:11.000 It's that friendly.
00:17:14.000 So why didn't Hunter Biden do this?
00:17:17.000 He wanted something to be said, or he's trying to impact the court of public opinion.
00:17:22.000 But then what is coming next?
00:17:24.000 And why is it that the New York Times has zero mention of this today?
00:17:29.000 Because something is really bad in regards to this.
00:17:35.000 Something is not helpful for Biden in what's happening here.
00:17:42.000 With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models of your car, Fiat, Kia, or different models like Pacific or X-T5, it is impossible to stock all the parts you need.
00:17:51.000 You have computers with access to rockauto.com, so why allow yourself to be intimidated by the people that run the auto part stores?
00:17:59.000 One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that you can then use for other important things like the mortgage or food.
00:18:06.000 Why would you choose to spend 30, 50, or 100% more on the exact same auto parts at a chain store or new car dealership?
00:18:11.000 Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
00:18:16.000 Rockauto.com's prices are the same for everybody, and they're reliably low.
00:18:20.000 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear.
00:18:26.000 Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:18:30.000 Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:18:35.000 The rockauto.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy to navigate.
00:18:38.000 Quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brand specifications and prices you prefer.

00:18:53.000 All the parts your car will ever need.
00:18:55.000 Rockauto.com.
00:19:00.000 There's so much I want to get to.
00:19:02.000 We haven't even talked, we have not even touched on, I should say, Coke, Delta Airlines, which is now acting like a political super PAC, Major League Baseball, and so much more.
00:19:13.000 But this Hunter Biden story broke over the weekend, which I think is the most important story because it personally involves the person running our government, Joe Biden.
00:19:25.000 And after what they did to Donald Trump and his family, micromanaging every single statement and decision of his children, and then we have total silence from Hunter Biden, who's under active criminal federal investigation, is beyond stunning.
00:19:45.000 Why are you sitting down and all of a sudden opening up your life?
00:19:47.000 Now, some people say it's, oh, for his upcoming book.
00:19:50.000 Let me be very clear.
00:19:51.000 This is not a book interview.
00:19:54.000 The book is a facade.
00:19:56.000 The book is an act of public relations smoke screen.
00:20:01.000 It's vapor.
00:20:02.000 I don't even know what's in the book.
00:20:03.000 It's like an Andrew Cuomo book.
00:20:04.000 It's not even a real thing.
00:20:07.000 Instead, and by the way, who promotes a book right before Easter when everyone's numbers are down?
00:20:14.000 No, no, no.
00:20:15.000 You do this for a controlled environment with friendly media members, no different than Donald Trump sitting down with Sean Hannity, and having a conversation that can shift public opinion in your direction.
00:20:28.000 Cut 11, Hunter Biden, play tape.
00:20:32.000 The implication all through the campaign was that your efforts have somehow benefited your father financially.
00:20:37.000 Have you ever given your father money from any of your business ventures?
00:20:41.000 No, nothing.
00:20:42.000 Nothing.
00:20:43.000 Ever.
00:20:43.000 Not a nickel.
00:20:44.000 Not a nickel.
00:20:45.000 Directly or indirectly?
00:20:46.000 Directly or indirectly?
00:20:48.000 Not a nickel ever.
00:20:49.000 100%.
00:20:50.000 No.
00:20:51.000 Never.
00:20:52.000 Wrong question.
00:20:54.000 Anthony Mason was told to do that question and he did it perfectly.
00:20:58.000 Here's the correct question.
00:21:00.000 Hunter, did your father benefit in any way from any of your business deals?
00:21:03.000 That's the question.
00:21:06.000 Do you see how, let's listen to this again?
00:21:07.000 This is written in the question is written in legalese.
00:21:11.000 Of course he didn't give any money to his father. 0.99
00:21:13.000 He's not an idiot. 1.00
00:21:14.000 Well, I don't know. 1.00
00:21:16.000 That's actually, they're smarter than that.
00:21:19.000 The question is, was there value transacted?
00:21:23.000 Did you pay for a house that he lived in?
00:21:26.000 Did you underwrite some of his soft costs?
00:21:28.000 Of course there wasn't a wire transfer from Hunter Biden to Joe Biden.
00:21:31.000 That would be sloppy.
00:21:32.000 We're dealing with organized crime here.
00:21:37.000 Let's listen to this again.
00:21:38.000 Listen very carefully.
00:21:40.000 Listen to Anthony Mason.
00:21:42.000 This is such a gaslighting technique that is used by the media.
00:21:45.000 Listen, did you ever give any money to your father?
00:21:48.000 He asks the correct question to begin with, and then he asks the wrong specific question.
00:21:53.000 Listen carefully, play tape.
00:21:56.000 The implication all through the campaign was that your efforts have somehow benefited your father financially.
00:22:01.000 Have you ever given your father money from any of your business ventures?
00:22:05.000 No, nothing.
00:22:06.000 Nothing.
00:22:07.000 Ever.
00:22:07.000 Not a nickel.
00:22:08.000 Not a nickel.
00:22:09.000 Directly or indirectly?
00:22:10.000 Directly or indirectly?
00:22:12.000 Not a nickel ever.
00:22:13.000 100%.
00:22:14.000 No, never.
00:22:16.000 The first part was right.
00:22:18.000 The implication is that your father benefited.
00:22:21.000 And then he asks, well, did you send any wire transfers?
00:22:23.000 Is basically what he's asking.
00:22:27.000 Did anyone in any one of these interviews ask about the 10% for the big man?
00:22:33.000 What kind of a media do we have?
00:22:35.000 This is Pravda.
00:22:38.000 You have disclosed emails from Tony Bobielinski and Tony Bobielinski then going public, saying that these emails are legitimate, saying that we need 10% or 10 for the big man.
00:22:54.000 Did anyone ask Hunter Biden, hey, Hunter, who's the big man?
00:22:58.000 Were there shares put aside from the Chinese Communist Party for your father?
00:23:03.000 So now you have the president of the United States who very well could be implicated in an ownership scheme with our greatest enemy.
00:23:13.000 Some would call it an adversary.
00:23:15.000 I don't call it a rival, okay?
00:23:17.000 This is not Red Sox versus Yankees. 0.82
00:23:19.000 This is America versus China and good versus evil.
00:23:22.000 I always laugh when people say, oh, China's our rival.
00:23:25.000 What is this?
00:23:26.000 The Packers versus the Bears?
00:23:28.000 No, this is a real geopolitical struggle.
00:23:30.000 Could you imagine if Winston Churchill called the National Socialist Workers' Party a rival?
00:23:37.000 That's what Never Chamberlain would do.
00:23:39.000 It's what weak people would do.
00:23:41.000 They find vanilla-coated words basically, please don't hurt us.
00:23:46.000 We'll call you whatever we want.
00:23:47.000 Or they're purchased.
00:23:51.000 Hunter Biden, Cut 16.
00:23:53.000 Just give me an idea of just kind of what you're dealing with here.
00:23:58.000 Again, I feel sorry for this man.
00:24:00.000 I do.
00:24:01.000 I hope he finds some healing. 0.87
00:24:04.000 And the better question is: why was Joe Biden doing business with his coke-addicted son, Cut 16? 0.52
00:24:10.000 Yeah, you know, I spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs, smoking anything that even remotely resembled crack cocaine.
00:24:25.000 I probably smoked more Parmesan cheese than anyone, anyone that you know, I'm sure, Tracy.
00:24:34.000 What's really happening here?
00:24:38.000 He was told by his PR experts, Hunter, we have to turn you into a victim.
00:24:43.000 The pressure was too much.
00:24:45.000 My brother died, which I'm not trivializing.
00:24:49.000 It's a real thing.
00:24:51.000 My father was always under the spotlight, and the only way I could cope with it was narcotics.
00:24:59.000 Therefore, anything I did needs to be viewed through a prism that I'm a victim of commercial society.
00:25:09.000 I can't quite totally be held accountable for my actions.
00:25:12.000 I was under the influence.
00:25:13.000 I was under the pressure.
00:25:15.000 I was not my own man.
00:25:19.000 That's the narrative they're trying to portray here.
00:25:23.000 So, a legitimate follow-up question from CBS would be: Hunter, I'm sorry you had to deal with substance abuse.
00:25:30.000 That's a very real thing.
00:25:33.000 Can you explain these pictures that are now floating around on the Chinese internet that show you severely and totally compromised with moral behavior that is worse than just doing cocaine or methamphetamine or ecstasy?
00:25:50.000 Can you help explain that?
00:25:53.000 You see, if this was the Trump children, they would be trying to investigate President Trump for anything that his children did.
00:26:06.000 Let me give you one example of this.
00:26:09.000 I think it's a perfect example.
00:26:12.000 A guy that works for The Guardian, Martin Bellum, wrote this article: Was Ivanka Trump telling the truth in Lego White House anecdote?
00:26:24.000 President's daughter has been accused of self-plagiarism.
00:26:27.000 Let me just stop there.
00:26:28.000 There's no such thing as self-plagiarism.
00:26:33.000 It's a completely fictitious term.
00:26:36.000 Self-plagiarism?
00:26:37.000 You mean using your own stuff?
00:26:40.000 It'd be like saying, Charlie, you're re-airing previous episodes of the Charlie Kirk show.
00:26:44.000 You're copying from myself.
00:26:45.000 Yeah, I said it. 0.93
00:26:46.000 Anyway, but photographic evidence may back her up.
00:26:51.000 There is a long piece on The Guardian from seven months ago doing investigative reporting, questioning whether or not Ivanka's child actually made a Lego White House, trying to call her a liar, trying to accuse her of being a bad person from theguardian.com.
00:27:13.000 And the stories are numerous.
00:27:16.000 Vanity Fair.
00:27:18.000 The problem with Ivanka's Trump's attempt at a heartwarming story.
00:27:22.000 Heavy.com, Ivanka Trump accused of making up son's Lego story.
00:27:28.000 MSNBC, Ivanka Trump said her son built a replica of the White House.
00:27:34.000 She told the similar story of herself 13 years ago.
00:27:39.000 There was more media backlash for whether or not her son Theodore created a Lego White House than the evidence that's right in front of you that the president might be compromised by the Chinese Communist Party and his son is under active criminal investigation for that.
00:27:58.000 That's just one example of hundreds I could share.
00:28:04.000 So how's the media reacting to this?
00:28:07.000 Oh, they're taking the bait.
00:28:10.000 Brian Stelter is doing exactly as he is instructed.
00:28:13.000 Slobber.
00:28:15.000 Cut 18.
00:28:16.000 I'll tell you what, I've read a lot of memoirs.
00:28:18.000 I've never read a memoir like this one before.
00:28:20.000 This is Hunter Biden's book, Beautiful Things, that comes out on Tuesday.
00:28:25.000 It is extraordinary.
00:28:27.000 You know, you've heard about Hunter Biden over the years.
00:28:30.000 You've heard all the tabloid coverage of Hunter Biden.
00:28:32.000 You think you know his story.
00:28:34.000 We know that right-wing media is obsessed with him.
00:28:36.000 Fox News is always targeting him.
00:28:39.000 And there are real questions to ask, including about that laptop that CBS is probing, that CBS asked Biden about in an interview that's airing today and airing again tomorrow.
00:28:49.000 But this book, this book about addiction, about how many times Hunter Biden could have died, the president's son, it's breathtaking.
00:29:02.000 Well done, Brian.
00:29:03.000 You will do as you are told.
00:29:05.000 And by the way, yes, I was on that montage.
00:29:07.000 I'm very proud of that.
00:29:08.000 Because I did an entire media interview on this, and then people just stopped talking about it.
00:29:12.000 It's what happens when you have holiday weekends.
00:29:15.000 And again, someone should ask the question: why is Hunter Biden doing this on a holiday weekend?
00:29:19.000 So let me tell you this.
00:29:20.000 I'm going to make some big and bold predictions.
00:29:22.000 The rank and file of our law enforcement likely have something incriminating on Hunter Biden, and they want to convene a grand jury if not that grand jury has already been convened.
00:29:34.000 So the real question that must be asked of our current president is: are you getting briefing updates on your son's investigation?
00:29:42.000 Have you spoken to Merrick Gardland on this?
00:29:44.000 Have you used a liaison like Ron Klain or Kamala Harris to speak to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice about the looming criminal indictments against you or your family?
00:29:54.000 Are you willing to pardon your son?
00:29:57.000 Have you thought about it?
00:29:58.000 Have you consulted with White House counsel?
00:30:00.000 Now, if these questions sound normal, they should be normal because these were the questions that were asked of Donald Trump when very little was happening.
00:30:11.000 Of course, they don't care.
00:30:12.000 Truth is not a left-wing value, as Dennis Prager commonly says.
00:30:16.000 But let me tell you: Hunter Biden would not be doing the media circuit if there was not a looming threat against him and his family.
00:30:24.000 There's something happening here, and it's real and it's dramatic.
00:30:30.000 It's based on evidence.
00:30:32.000 I don't know what it is, and this is still somewhat speculation, but I could tell you that studying the left and understanding how they communicate and understanding the channels of communication, one does not just pop up suddenly and volunteer all of this information.
00:30:48.000 It's not the way it works.
00:30:50.000 Andrew McCabe did this as a way to try to prevent a grand jury indictment.
00:30:54.000 James Comey did the exact same thing.
00:30:57.000 Lisa Page did the same thing.
00:30:59.000 Peter Strzok did the same thing, and none of them were indicted.
00:31:03.000 This is deliberate.
00:31:06.000 You are being manipulated by this.
00:31:09.000 And none of it is a mistake.
00:31:12.000 But I could tell you, Joe Biden, he's extra nervous today based on something that we cannot yet see.
00:31:23.000 When you spend a lot of time in the great outdoors, you find out pretty quick that Mother Nature doesn't always play nice.

00:32:30.000 Power shows the man.
00:32:34.000 Four words that I think are more applicable than ever before.
00:32:40.000 Some people say Plato said it, some people say Aristotle said it, but power shows the man.
00:32:46.000 This last Easter weekend, I was thinking of where I was last year and I was locked down.
00:32:51.000 We almost all were.
00:32:54.000 If you want to see who a real leader is, give them a bunch of power and resources in a time of crisis and then judge them.
00:33:03.000 And my goodness, have we learned a lot about our leadership in the last year?
00:33:07.000 We've realized that we have very few courageous leaders in America, especially on the gubernatorial level.
00:33:16.000 Ron DeSantis is one of them, and Ron DeSantis was on the front page of Drudge, which has just gone completely off the reservation.
00:33:24.000 I'm not even going to address the Ron DeSantis story because I don't even want to give it airtime.
00:33:29.000 All I can say is this: I'm shocked it took them this long to attack Ron DeSantis with all they have. 0.61
00:33:36.000 And it's baseless and it's silly and it is not going to stick.
00:33:43.000 Ron DeSantis is the best governor in America, period.
00:33:50.000 Ron DeSantis was given a lot of power during this crisis.
00:33:54.000 How did he fare with an open state, a vibrant state, a happy state, an economically vibrant state?
00:34:02.000 How about Andrew Cuomo?
00:34:03.000 Gave him a bunch of power.
00:34:05.000 And isn't it interesting how Andrew Cuomo has just fallen out of the news cycle?
00:34:10.000 Is he still under those accusations? 0.99
00:34:12.000 Are we supposed to believe all women?
00:34:17.000 No, the left, they learned their lesson after Al Franken.
00:34:21.000 After Al Franken resigned due to the allegations, they said, wait a second, we didn't have to do this.
00:34:26.000 No one actually cares what we do anymore.
00:34:29.000 We're just going to distract them, tell them to tune in to Netflix, run some sort of psyops operation, and then we'll stay in power and people will forget.
00:34:40.000 That's their playbook.
00:34:43.000 Doesn't look like Andrew Cuomo is resigning anytime soon.
00:34:45.000 Same with Eric Swawell.
00:34:47.000 And the list continues.
00:34:50.000 So as we look back in one year of us giving more power to politicians than almost any other time in American history, let me say that again.
00:34:59.000 There has been more power vested in politicians than any other time in American history in the last year.
00:35:05.000 How have we fared?
00:35:08.000 They've basically messed up everything.
00:35:11.000 You have a couple rare examples like Ron DeSantis, but most states are struggling to get back to normal.
00:35:19.000 And that's because the compact that we have with the people in charge is supposed to be based in a consent of the governed.
00:35:29.000 It's supposed to be based in this promise that we're not going to abuse your freedoms and liberties beyond what is articulated in the document that is rules for the road for us.
00:35:43.000 And with the exceptions that I've already mentioned, most governors completely mess this up.
00:35:48.000 So, what's the lesson here?
00:35:51.000 The lesson is that we should limit the amount of power that goes to central authorities, both government and otherwise.
00:36:01.000 The power shows the man.
00:36:06.000 You want to see who a person really is?
00:36:07.000 You want to see if a politician is willing to do the right thing?
00:36:11.000 Give him a bunch of power in a time of crisis.
00:36:17.000 And we've realized this is why despotism is not just immoral, but it fails over time.
00:36:28.000 Gavin Newsom, under a recall effort.
00:36:30.000 Andrew Cuomo, near resignation because of accusations and the nursing home scandal.
00:36:34.000 J.B. Pritzker, one of the worst governors in America.
00:36:40.000 So, a year later, I hope that we have now learned our lesson: that we will never again cede our freedoms and liberties to a central governing authority.
