the new york story showing a closer link, and joe biden and npr, the difference before and after the 2020 election, don't want to waste time on stories that are not really stories, and hunter biden was recently informed, he is under federal investigation over a tax matter. it was russian disinformation, now he is officially under federal investigation. >> the real interference in the 2020 election was democrats, the media and big tech gathering to suppress negative stories about joe biden and his family, the russian collusion story, mainstream journalists shrieked conspiracy theory of any question without hunter biden's legal overseas business

activities but now we know the justice department was investigating those activities, mainstream journalists supported on because the justice department announced evidence of that investigation out in the open for the new york post publication of hunter biden's alleged laptop material, the evidence was right there for journalist to investigate and authenticate, and it was a fake story based on russian disinformation with no evidence at all the while the bidens never disputed the authenticity of that new york post story. now we know the hunter biden story was true, to impact the election. todd: always a double standard endeavor accountability. speaking of the media joe biden and kamala harris named time's

and harris continues to steal the spotlight from joe biden and that is how influential she will be in this administration, where radical leftists control the democratic party at this point and harris was one of the most left-wing us senators, so it speaks to how much power and who is controlling the democratic party. joe biden has called himself a transitional figure. harris could have real power in this administration. neil: called her president harris before, not hiding the ball on this one. appreciate you joining us. carley: country star, the supreme court will overturn the election, we will tell you about that coming up. todd: the lockdown rules. business owners outraged.
