the kid with the stripper whose fraternity he denied, dead brothers widow. what a winner. not bad compared to the corruption four years he's been doing shady deals with shadier people in the shiniest places on earth, ukraine, kazakhstan, china and now potentially serbia. fox news attained e-mails as far back as 2010 hunter was in contact with serbian president inner circle. we are told that president was key to introduce hunter to so-called businessmen and investors. it's not hard to guess why they would want hunter involved. his dad with the vice president so getting hunter on board is potentially opening important doors in washington but sleepy joe repeatedly claimed he had nothing to do with any of his sons operations. joe? >> how many times have you spoken to your son about his

business dealings? >> i've never spoken to my son about his business dealings. i've never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else with their business. what i will do is the same we did in our administration, and absolute wall between personal and private in the government. >> do you stand by your statement you did not discuss any of your sons overseas business dealings? >> i stand by that statement. kennedy: it's obvious to everyone hunter is a total liability but whether white house ever come clean about what joe knows? here with me now, new york post columnist, the greatest newspaper in the land founded by alexander hamilton, fox news conservator and author of the brand-new book laptop from hell. welcome. >> thank you, great to be here. a good summary of what's going on. kennedy: thank you. what a colorful life he leads. what came first?

your interest in the laptop stuff you read about or did you decide to write a book first? i think this whole subject matter is fascinating. >> oh no, it was a laptop, it basically wrote itself. it's an incredible story and at the heart of it, it's the story of a fractured family who suffered a lot of tragedy but the patriarch joe biden controls everybody around him and he's created this influence peddling scheme in his earliest days as a delaware senator he was 30 years old and when he was vice president, he internationalized and the story you opened with is a terrific piece by fox news and its typical that deal in serbia of the sorts of deals hunter and his uncle jim, joe biden's younger brother were orchestrating around the world often on behalf of chinese

entities such as the company called cfc they will have a joint venture which is the capitalists of president xi jinping's road initiative and joe biden was very much involved in for him to say he didn't talk to his son or his brother about his dismissed dealings, it's just so untrue. we have so much evidence on the laptop and e-mails and documents but also from the mouth of tony bob polonsky who was an upright person, a navy veteran and self-made man in a successful businessman who was 14 hunter and his partners to be part of this joint venture. joe biden met him in los angeles in 2017 after he stepped down as

vice president and visit him for his role. for the previous last two years of joe biden's presidency, this joint venture was during work, they hadn't got paid yet but according to hunter, cfc owes them $20 million for the work they did done for them the previous two years. kennedy: work, that's a pretty loose term but you talk about the vice president -- exactly. introduction to access, that's all he had. certainly didn't have true formal wherewithal to the vice president says he never talked to his son or brother about any of this, maybe he should have because with so much at stake and on the line including the presidency himself, he very much could have been talking to is corrupt relative making certain they were compromising the family name by enriching themselves and he didn't because he was talking to them.

he is the big guy, he obviously was part of, a critical part of these deals so you look at this and wonder, what is more corrupt? what hunter and jim biden were doing in the name of their father and brother or the clinton foundation? >> i'm not going to make that decision, want to get into territory, it's just all that. joe biden met so many of hunter biden's business associates from overseas he met them from mexico, kazakhstan, from russia, from china, he met them in beijing, in washington d.c., he invited them into vice presidential residence, he met them at café milano with at dinner that hunter organized in 2015. there's just no denying he was involved, he met the business partners in his campaign live in techno it was garbage and we had

50 former intelligence operative including john brennan, james, leon, michael hayden, they should hang their heads in shame because they before the election, with their finger on the scale it said the laptop was russian disinformation in their great expert opinion. kennedy: yes and the fact that their collective was on the scale means joe biden is now president because along with them in the media and social media, the biden's are shielded from the truth and american voters didn't really get the full scope. they have it now, laptop from hell, it's a great read while you are making your holiday travel. thank you so much. >> thanks so much. kennedy: meanwhile, alec baldwin might be going for another emmy in another interview, he -- actor, producer, killer was weepy when he was asked asked about the shooting death that

took place on his set. he blamed the gun for firing on its own also. >> i didn't pull the trigger. >> you never pulled the trigger? >> i would never pointed the gun at a person. she was loved by everyone who worked with her and admired. kennedy: when you think about it, he really is the victim in all the best, at the 42-year-old cinematographer whose ground down in cold blood. click the gun have fired itself? what did alec baldwin trying to accomplish by saying that in the interview? let's get into it with our party panel. federalist jupiter along with democrat strategist and former biden campaign surrogate, kevin wilding. foundation for economic education policy correspondent, brad palombo, my favorite legal owner and of course one of my

gay boyfriends. >> what the heck? kennedy: i said one of, i can have many. busy night #. kennedy: when i hear words like never from narcissistic blowhards like alec baldwin and chris formal, i always assume the opposite. he saying he would never pointed the gun at someone but that was his job as an actor in a western where he had to pull out a gun and shoot someone with it so does never ring true here? >> the investigation will show what actually happened, no way of knowing for sure. it does sound extremely unlikely he did not pull the trigger. even if he wasn't aware of it. it seems unlikely the gun would go on its own. none expert but it's not likely that doesn't mean it's

impossible, he could have but we will have to wait for the investigation to seek. kennedy: and the car that plowed into innocent walk missions in wisconsin recently, it could have accelerated itself but it probably didn't. i had a feeling early on there were people where anti- gun would use this as an excuse to take guns out of movies which means historic films are tragedy on the film set. one of the good things he's pushing for us to have law enforcement on the scene when it comes to ammunition, live ammunition blanks, any shooting that goes on in regard to this

film and tv work which i hope will be something that comes out of this because again, i think there are russians more than answers. this investigation is so proceeding. kennedy: had a more unbelievable interview with george stephanopoulos? kamala harris or blowhard actor alec baldwin? >> york giving me difficult decisions tonight. neither one is believable at all. alec baldwin -- not impossible, there could be a mechanical failure with a gun would go off without the trigger being pulled but that's extremely unlikely. what's more likely is the trigger takes far less in terms of pulling it then somebody not familiar with guns would realize. it can be a slight pressure you put on it so he probably pulled the trigger without fully doing it and not knowing what's going on because hollywood actors

aren't typically your second amendment and firearms enthusiasts. here is the thing, as people who do support gun rights and second amendment, we do believe in gun safety and personal responsibility and that us top on our value set so we should expect people, i don't think alec baldwin intended for something like this to happen but a lot of people including him, very reckless and they should be held responsible for that and not pass off the blame. kennedy: it looks like this is more of a collective effort right now but if that's the case and that's right him back, if that really happened and he didn't pull the trigger and put any pressure on it at all, that's the first thing you would say, not the 15th. insane this long after the tragedy took place, all that means is you've been sitting around thinking of something and this is something plausible that pops into your head, not what actually happened. speaking of disgraced actors, another wild testimony jussie

smollett trial in chicago, he's accused of lying to police about being a victim of a hate crime in 2019, the day the two brothers who accused him of hiring to fake the attack took the witness stand and told they were instructed to fake beat him up not actually hurt him. he yelled this is mag a country. a dry run with him the day before the hate crime, a little rehearsal and it was caught on surveillance video. that's not looking good for him who's facing up to three years in prison so if he's convicted, what was the reason for all of this? you look at it and go were you thinking? there is so much downside, what did he think the upside would be? >> that's the thing, obviously if we lived in a systemically racist society, there wouldn't

be any upside. the staging of this event but obviously we know he got an enormous amount of sympathetic press, his name was elevated and he became a victim, paraded around the entire media in his entire industry and i think he hoped to raise his profile that way even the author of some of the most controversial racist books, he got caught on the same kind of thing not baking a hate crime to be clear but by admitting that people were lying about their color status on applications on twitter and he was caught admitting that of course, that's difficult for this entire thesis that we live in a systemically antiblack or racist society. if that were the case, there wouldn't be anything to gain by faking a hate crime against yourself or falsely describing yourself on an application is a person of color, america is not

racist and further, more than that, that you can gain a lot i painting yourself as a victim of racial discrimination and that's what's happened here very clearly. kennedy: is not what he was trying to do? he was on a very popular show with a predominately black cast that was loved by audiences. i left him in it, i thought was fantastic and i thought his character was amazing. very talented so why do something like this? is a corrupt system that forced him to do this because he felt he had no other options or somebody with an absolute screw bring? >> i think it's the latter and i loved the show, too. it's an actor, a cry for help and publicity in the worst about all of this, it overshadows the rise in hate crimes we are seeing across the board when it comes to jewish americans, asian americans and lgbtq community in

this country and this is what we are talking about, this fake staged hate crime taking up so much oxygen in the public discourse when it comes to the actual hate crimes happening every day in this country we should be focusing on but instead, we are focusing on this because of how bogus and ridiculous this individual is and he should face whatever penalties come his way whether three years in prison and certainly should be, the book should be thrown at him. kennedy: and payback bully brother hours spent investigating this crime so is it about victim put? someone like what kind of currency does he get by being the victim of an attack like this? does he think he's getting out of it? >> unfortunately quite a lot because we live in a culture of identity politics and woke her

victim put is a currency and oppression is a form of social capitol in this one incident doesn't tell you everything about society but it something that only happens when you know you will get adoration for being a victim. kamala harris still has a tweet not deleted praising him as a victim are the best so there was a lot to gain but i also have to say this is the least believable and most erotic hate crime of all time. he literally hired to rip two dudes to rip rough him up and call him names and he was going to think we want going to get it's not actually an anti- gay hate crime. i think he got his fantasies and true crime tv, he got all -- he needs to be held accountable. kennedy: the defense going after one of the brothers missing how long have you been dating? he was like what? he wasn't dating and they were like really? you went to a frat house together.

he said i thought it was an everybody frat house so there. you were just using them so he'd fall in love with you so you could get money but what's? none of that makes sense although look at them, they are well put together. those are some lovely physiques. >> very believable white supremacist. >> pretty legit. kennedy: there are so many trump republicans in the neighborhood of chicago and i was the first thing the white liberals have said, wait a second, this is not mag a country. party panel sticking around. it is game night but first up, china has a fancy new style. sounding the alarm, how big a deal is this? in person to explain it all.
