5:02 pm
stadium with his family. no different than what you see every weekend in arrowhead and vegas and pittsburgh. but male karen at dead spin only showed half his face, the black half and accused the 9-year-old of wearing black face. quote, he found a way to hate black people and native americans at the same time. and the media piled on. >> the kid is still in full racist garb. the only part of him that's not intentionally kind of racist is the black part. the rest is team colors and he's going for just being a fan, but the racism is already in there, just not the kind that the right is picking up and nothing dead spin with over a 5-year-old kid. the stupidity of this is remarkable. >> feels like we're in the vegas residency phase of, like, you know, racism. >> jesse: that guy dan le batard who accused the 9-year-old of
5:03 pm
racism wore the same face paint himself last year. there he is. that's how ridiculous this is. and the black face hoax gets more ridiculous the more we learn. here's the nine year old chiefs fan posing with the cheerleaders. do any of them look like they think he's racist? i only see smiling faces. and when the young man started the tomahawk chop, the chiefs players joined in. >> oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! >> jesse: i'm just having such a hard time keeping track of all this racism. but it gets even more ridiculous. the mother of the young fan is saying her son is native american. it turns out holden, the 9-year-old getting slandered, has native american blood. his family lineage, the chumash
5:04 pm
tribe hail from california an ancient people with a rich history on the pacific coast. holden and his family used to live on the reservation. so if anyone's entitled to paint their face and wear a head dress to a chief's game it's holden. here's holden at the super bowl last year. holden can wear whatever he wants and americans can wear whatever we want. we agree and kansas city agrees, too. it's why the chiefs fans are planning to wear plaque and red face paint to the next game, to show support for holden, who's not only a proud kansas city chiefs fan, he's a proud chumash indian. let's bring in holden and his fa fa father bubba. >> bubba what was going through your mind the second you found out your son has been targeted like this? >> it's been a lot. been a crazy couple days.
5:05 pm
i was mad, upset. upset for him. mad that he's upset. he's pretty devastated. i mean, he's seen the videos and everything posted, he's excited, he's all over, it was his dream to get on the jumbotron and i've had family and friends call and, oh, we saw you on sunday night football. so he's excited. but then everything else came up and it's been a little bit of a spiral. >> jesse: holden, how are you feeling right now? >> it's okay 'cause a lot of kids at school are getting excited but it's starting to get mow a little nervous because if they go a little bit overboard, it's a little scary. >> jesse: i bet it's scary. it can be a very overwhelming experience. how has the community been in terms of support?
5:06 pm
>> okay, so far. >> jesse: good. and you're a football guy, right? don't you have practice in a few minutes? >> yeah. >> yeah, getting ready to head out the door for all-star practice. >> jesse: what position do you play? >> wide receiver and free safety. >> jesse: that's amazing. and how big of a chiefs fan are you? >> really big. >> jesse: and what is it -- >> because we went to the raiders chiefs game last year, too. >> jesse: nice. and what does it mean now that you're feeling all this love from chiefs nation, everyone's going to be wearing red and black on their faces next sunday. >> really good. >> jesse: so bubba. >> he asked me ten minutes ago if he can paint his face before we go live. >> jesse: he can do whatever he wants. he's a great patriot, great american, a great fan and everybody loves holden. but karen over at dead spin
5:07 pm
doesn't. bubba would you like an apology? what would you like from karen at dead spin? >> you know, i don't even know what to think about that. it's kind of, it's a little too late for that. the damage is already done. it's, you know, worldwide now. there's comments all over. there's, you know, disrespect towards native americans and towards my family. we never, in any, way, shape or form meant to disrespect any native americans or any tribes. the tribe we're from doesn't even wear that type of head dress. this specific head dress is a novelty piece. it's a costume piece. that's exactly what we had purchased it for and wore it for. not in any disrespect toward any
5:08 pm
native americans at all. and it's just been a whirl wind of comments coming even from other tribes, from tribal members. some think it's okay. some think it's not okay. it's a 9-year-old boy supporting his team. >> jesse: and you're going to be wearing the black and the red, i guess every sunday for as long as you're alive, i'll bet, holden. >> yep. >> forever, huh? >> jesse: who's your favorite player on the chiefs? >> patrick mahomes. >> jesse: my eagles beat your chiefs a couple weeks back. >> i know. >> jesse: you guys did beat us in the super bowl but i think we're going to see you again in the super bowl. >> yeah. >> that would be good, huh? >> jesse: now, if we're back in the super bowl together, the eagles and the chiefs, you want to have a little bet, holden?
5:09 pm
>> yeah. >> jesse: all right. we'll do a bet, and if the chiefs win, you're going to get something very special, and if the eagles win, we'll figure that out. how's that sound? >> okay. >> jesse: all right. can i get a chop? there you go. holden, bubba, we love you guys. good luck at practice. good luck for the rest of the season until the super bowl. how's that? >> thank you jesse. we really appreciate the opportunity tonight. >> jesse: thank you very much. >> thank you >>. >> jesse: well karen from dead spin thought he was onto something when he decided to smear a 9-year-old. now, we know holden's not a racist, he's an indian, he's a fan, he's a patriot. so karen's back pedaling. he just deleted this. quote for the idiots in my mentions who are treating this as some harmless act because the other side of his face was painted red, i could make the argument that it makes it even worse. y'all are the ones who hate
5:10 pm
mexicans but wear sum brayer os on cinco. here now former espn host sage steele. so what's up with this guy. >> hello jesse. >> jesse: i love that you're going with the karen. first of all, he's got some issues. i think that is established now. and i will say i have intimate knowledge of karen in the way that he has taken a liking to attacking me. for full context for people who don't know much about dead spin last year they put me on a list of top ten idiots in the country and the title, number six, stage steele, who is the black candice owen. i will aleve that there. that gives you perspective because i think candice is black, too. i wrote down a quote from the actual article because people saw just the headline but karen actually wrote this about this nine year old kid that he quote found a way to hate black people and native americans at the same time. saying a 9-year-old found a way to do it. here's the problem with people like karen and so many other,
5:11 pm
frankly, media members out there today is that they are making money by doing this. these companies, whether it be dead spin or espn or many other places, are hiring reporters who are focusing just on race, race and sport. if they don't create these narratives and go after nine year old kids, they don't have a job. there's no money in it. so my fear is that this is just going to continue because they've continued to hire people like this to stir the pot and make things up which is only doing what, dividing? when i think we should be celebrating a 9-year-old kid out there being a kid. he's not on video games or on an iphone or doing something bad he's cheering on his team and that's what sports is all about i thought. >> jesse: so you're saying the bosses at dead spin are happy with karen. karen got traffic. carp brought attention to dead spin. karen got clicks. you're really -- they don't even care about the controversy. >> no. >> jesse: they just like
5:12 pm
controversy for money? >> you don't doubt that, do you? >> jesse: well they don't care thure' hurting a little 9-year-old boy? >> no. no, it's clicks and money and they're going to continue to do this and stir the pot and race bathe because that's what karen and many other people have gotten accustomed to doing. proof is in the pudding which is not once since this began on sunday have they decided to put the full picture of holden's face on their web site, have they? let's not just show the black paint here, let's show the front to show, oh, wait, there's a red half, too. they've been called to do it. they've specifically chosen not to. so, to me, this is 100% intentional, and it's prevalent throughout the media. again, when they're hiring reporters to specifically -- their titles are race reporters, race and sport reporter. that's what the undefeated slash and scape, just to focus on race issues. when it comes to sports that's
5:13 pm
like the one safe haven right? where you can go to aero head stadium on sunday, 80 thousand people, race religion politics socioeconomic status none matters, they're just there to cheer for the chiefs. i think the one positive from this is the backlash coming to the dead spins of the world from people on both sides, right? and to me i think this kind of gives me hope, jesse, that people are tired of the race baiting. that this is a kid who's out there having fun and i think the positive thing from the negative pathetic situation at dead spin and others have chosen to focus on is people are rallying saying stop it and it's taking away from actual issues when there are racially incense activities. that's not what this is and shame on them and they know it. >> jesse: you know what i like about you sage? i like how every time you come on, you always end it on a positive note. >> do i really? i should change that. >> jesse: yeah, you always do. but you always have this uplifting finish as to where we
5:14 pm
can kind of take this from here and i think we want to hear that. >> because i hope so. i mean it's sports. what are we doing? this is the one safe haven and this guy intentionally went after a little kid. get a life, really. that's a negative right? when i'm telling him to get a life? there we go back down in the gutter. >> jesse: there we go. bankrupt and the company has to sell itself. but really we love holden and we love you sage. thank you so much for coming on and telling the truth. >> thanks jesse. >> jesse: he's a notorious mobster, but he says joe biden makes him look like a choir boy. hit man sammy the bull is next. ♪ (woman) what if my type 2 diabetes takes over? what if all i do isn't enough? or what if i can do diabetes differently?

>> jesse: brand new developments in the briden bribery scandal. remember how joe biden cashed a
5:20 pm
$40,000 check that came from china? >> $40,000 in laundered china money landed in joe biden's bank account in the form of a personal check. >> jesse: the white house says biden's brother was paying joe back. you know, it was just a loan. and now we have proof they lied. a money laundering investigator blue the whistle. in 2018 when they were the biden this money laundering investigator was flagging hunter's counts like crazy. he was designated as a pep politically exposed person susceptible to bribery and the everyoning ba was right. remember when the chinese threaten he pay the bribe and that his dad was in the room. the chinese sent $5 million the next week and hunter told the bank oh it was just a loan. but the bank never got a single loan document and then hunter started sending money all over
5:21 pm
the place which the money laundering investigator called unusual and erratic especially since, quote, the llc does not currently have any investment projects at this time which raises further concerns as millions in fees are being paid but does not appear to have any services rendered. that's bank lingo for bribe. the money laundering investigator added he put his family in a deep financial hold because of drugs and prostitutes which opened up to china targeting children of politicians and purchase of political influence through sweetheart deals. the money laundering investigator finished his report with this. the activity on the account appears unusual with no current business purpose and may require reevaluation of the bank's relationship with the customer. that's bank lingo for the chinese are bribing the

vice-president's family and we should tell him to bank somewhere else so we don't find ourselves under federal investigation for money lawneders. so we know the fbi, the cia and the biden's own bank knew they were taking bribes and laundering cash. and no one did anything. that tells me biden's a puppet or he's being blackmailed. or that he's a made man. >> save your breath. you got nothing on me. you know it. i know it. i'm changing dollar bills, that's all. you want to waste my time? okay. i call my lawyer. he's the best lawyer in miami. he's such a good lawyer that by tomorrow morning, you're going to be working in alaska. so dress warm. >> jesse: here now notorious mobster sammy the bull. how you doing, sammy? >> i'm doing pretty good. i saw -- i heard your opening
5:23 pm
monologue and it's incredible. it's an incredible story. i mean, it's mind blowing. i don't understand how the country is just sitting back listening to these things and no action is being taken. if you want my opinion, there are so many guys that i know who would go to prison for 20 to lifetime sentences for this kind of stuff. and when it comes from the president, the vice-president, and people like that, it's beyond theft. it's treason to a country. and i remember when i was younger and i was in the military, treason was something that you would face the death penalty for because you're robbing every man, woman, and child, every race, black, white, hispanic, asian. i mean, and you can't get a more disgusting crime than this.
5:24 pm
i've been hearing it over and over again, and i don't understand why there's no actions. there's certain people, like yourself, talking about it. and i'm very proud of you. i know a lot of people in the media industry, men and women through the years, and they're good people. they went to colleges and universities to come out and stop things like this and protect us small people. and, yet, they do nothing. and i know why they do nothing. i spoke to a lot of them, i'm not going to mention names, but a lot of them have -- they're a single mom or they have a job that's paying well. their bosses won't let them talk, and if they do talk they get fired. and it's a shame. so, you know, as far as what you're doing in talking about it and saying openly and honestly and bravely, may i say that.
5:25 pm
>> jesse: so you're saying that the biden family's treasonous, and that the feds know they're dealing with a treasonous family. but many honest people in the federal government are afraid to speak out because they'll be fired and destroyed. >> yes, without a doubt. you know, i cooperated years ago, everybody knows it, with the fbi, the federal government, some prosecutors, john gleason and different judges, and they were so honest, it was unbelievable. i was proud to be with them for a while. i'm still friends with a lot of them and some of them tell me, sammy, i spent my whole life in the fbi, i'm embarrassed to tell somebody i'm an ex fbi agent. and i said don't feel like that, just get out, speak, talk against it, do something. don't sit back. and that's not just them and any one individual, i'm talking about the whole country. if we allow this, our
