a subject matter of this course because the real fake news, the media's total dismissal of the hunter bidenion when in fact we know that this laptop has hundreds of pictures of hunter on it, text messages with his father, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to confirm that this is in fact his laptop and to add to the list of mistruths from hunter biden he lied on a background check form to get a firearm. saying that he wasn't a drug user and never abused a controlled substance so you have someone who has a documented history of mistruths teaching a course for which he should not be a speaker but in fact a subject. i would be quite upset if tuition for my child was going to this person. >> emily: jenna, i will let you respond to that. >> jenna: i am questioning, thinking in my head where exactly it is i should start on this very specific subject because if we want to talk about hunter biden and the laptop and the emails and ukraine and who said what i wanted to just remind everybody that the source of that story is from one specific outlet, "the new york post" which as a new yorker even thoug

now, is hunter biden super relevant to current day politics? not at all. he has no role in the administration formally or informally. you want to beat up the president's son because it makes you feel good? have at it. understand that trump's kids robbed us blind when they were in office. what are they get, $640 million? extra wealth while they were in office in four years? a ivanka trump, jared kushner, beavis and butt-head, eric and don jr. so, after you got fleeced by trump's kids, and he put them in charge jared kushner couldn't , even get clearance from the secret service. he was a national security threat and you want him in charge of national security? so after trump robbed you, you , are worried about hunter biden and his past? look, brother, i am here to tell you corruption is real, it is as real in the democratic party as the republican party, but hunter biden has zero role. zero. they are doing that to distract

i think it's easy to go after hunter biden. the guy looks pretty weak.ally limp. you know, nothing to it. either he says he owns it or he doesn't. it's hard for me to believe he doesn't remember but that's what he says and as trey points out he has got a troubled past especially with drugs and the like and guns and women. everybody knows. he has had a boat load of trouble. but, look, you know, i see this as going after joe biden. i saw a poll this week said joe biden is at 60% approval among voters. and yet i hear his credits say his wife calls herself dr. jill. well the life earned a doctorate or people say kamala harris, she laughs too much. she snickers. and i think yes, so what? it looks to me that people are just looking, they are digging for something on this guy. >> shannon: we are talking about a book though that hunter is out there selling. he wants you to buy it. greg, are you going to buy it? >> greg: i don't have to buy it. i probably will just get it sent to me after i personally invite hunter to be on my new show gutfeld which i'm inviting

how is it that hunter biden was chosen? ascinating question, sandra buford who will introduce hunter at this analyst, and next thing you will tell meet dan rather will teach a course called journalism and finding truth in the news. that just happened not too long ago. this is the same hunter biden who blamed the contents of his laptop, on russian disinformation. that has been debunked. this is the same hunter biden who lied on a gun application about his past drug use. that is a federal crime. so you might as well have my don't know, hologram -- next to hunter because i guess we will not be able to tell the difference in terms of credibility, accountability and what is fake news and what isn't. in fact, tulane caused $75,000 a year to send your kid too? $300,000 over four years so you have to clear $500,000 after taxes. you think if you are a parent in here hunter biden teaching a course in fake news you are spending your money correctly? i don't think so, sandra, we have a long time before we have to worry about this with o

it was hunter biden's laptop.hings on those, on that laptop that the fbi and the department of justice have, thosee are real. but now the question is will joe biden's department of justice exercise prosecutorial discretion against joe biden's son. you know, i don't know the answer to that. i know what -- maria: right. >> -- the answer should be, but some of the same people involved here are the same folks that look at dozens of classified e-mails on hillary clinton's server, highly classified, top secret e-mails on a private server in her basement in new york and gave her a pass. maria: yeah. >> so, you know, don't hold your breath. maria: it's the reason that we are forced to raise the question, is this t why he's not bringing up the coronavirus? is there so many conflicts of interest that he doesn't want xi jinping to be the bad guy because that would mean donalduy trump may not be the bad guy? can't make xi jinping the bad guy. i mean,n, look, we just heard fm the former cdc director that the coronavirus likely

that has to do with th chinese government because they clearly have something on him. >> i think hunter bidenen ministration should be taking this very seriously. i think the older i get the mor i become i show another type of political person if it's my sid a farm okay with it maybe it's little hypocritical because we easily recognize that if this were a trump kid or a bush kid, or a romney kid, they would be having huge issues with collusion and everything that's been happening here and it's right to investigate and it's ridiculous that he doesn't have to answer, but he is a slippery lawyer, so maybe that's why. quickly, charlie, i think another bad actor in this whole saga are the intelligence officers huge light in the grou letter saying that this is russia disinformation the way they smeared ron johnson and senator grassley, they are really undermining people's faith in government. >> exactly. someone needs to answer for this . i want to thank senator johnson for the great work he did on this. they should be the beginning of what many months and hopefully many year investigation into thi

it's not hunter biden, because one of them is inside the club and the other isn't. prince hunter left his crack pipe on the car seat of his rental car but he's joe biden's son. hunter's gun turned up in an overflowing trash can across the street from a school in delaware. that would be a bad place for you to check your firearm. but he's joe's son, so all that happened is that a detail of secret service agents went around to the gun store and tried to brow beat the owner into coughing up hunter's paperwork so that all evidence of his ownership of said piece would be gone. i don't know what you call a system where officialdom goes to such lengths to protect the depraved signs of the ruling class but a republic of citizens equal before the law isn't the first thing that springs to mind. carry kupek was in the department of justice at the time the core unex of the main stream media moved en masse to protect prince hunter last october. that must have been a very weird experience for you, knowing what the department of justice knew at the time watching the media instantly

suppress that, they knew it was real and they knew what that laptop has with information about the hunter bidenss. it doesn't involve hunter, and involves president biden's by brother and involves president biden. they were all sorts of things that came out of that original story shouting the dealings with china where the biden family was getting some really sweet loans, that kind of financial entanglement which happen with the trump family which actually was involved in international business would have been apocalyptic for them. the media suppress that because they wanted to help their favorite candidate when because they are not media, they are propaganda outlets. i don't think hunter biden is in any danger of anything happening that just because of the propaganda press covering up for him whether it's this issue with the corrupt business dealings with china or other shady foreign governments about his drug use, potentially lying on an application form to get a gun, barring hunter biden suddenly becoming republican, he will continue to skate free because it's not just the media. it's also th

the laptop, hunter biden doesn't want to confess it's his. there's no doubt it is. e laptop that are the troubling thing. they show that joe biden, contrary to what he said publicly, was actively helping his son and according to tony bobulinski, the partner and ceo in a joint venture with the bidens and the chinese energy conglomerate said he met with joe biden and joe biden was not only aware of these partnerships, he was going to get a secret 10% cut. >> gillian: so michael, let me stop you there for a quick second. so on the issue of the laptop specifically, what hunter biden said last night, it's a red herring, by which he means it's meant to distract from other issues going on right now. it's being used as a weapon, a political weapon against him. what is your take on that? why doesn't he just deny it if it's not his? >> because he can't. the evidence is overwhelming that it's his laptop and the e-mails and messages and photos are all about him. again, tony bobulinski has corroborated the most important e-mails. he was involved in the project. you also have the

joe biden is not the governor of georgia nor in the state legislature, back to hunter biden, the truthhat it's sad. anyone who has been around an addict, i thought the president, president biden in the debate against trump was really good when he talked about in very truthful way the pain and difficulty of being around an addict. the trying is there is no evidence there was misbehavior by the president and then the vice president, by hunter biden. he is being investigated for tax issues that continues. the biden administration did not change out prosecutors. that investigation should go on without politics. mike: david avella, hunter biden, didn't seem to know or was kind of wishy-washy whether or not that was his laptop. wouldn't you know if you lost a laptop? >> you would think. and there is much more to this story that hopefully the department of justice is going to look at and uncover. but let's stay on this, is this joe biden's fault or not. joe biden isn't the governor of georgia but he is the president of the united states. had he not weighed in on the georgia law or actually ha

hunter biden that it is the drug. >> absolutely agree. nk just joe biden is the worst kind of hypocritical when it comes to this, right? because i don't think that being a drug addict or even a drug user makes you a bad person or -- at all. joe biden talks all the time about that with regards to his son, and how he should have all of this grace, which i would agree with, if he did not have all of these actions showing that only applied in his mind to his son. he co-sponsored the anti-abuse act in 1986, created the crack versus cocaine sentencing disparity. locked up so many people, mostly black men, for doing the same thing that hunter was doing, so hunter deserves grace but all of these other people don't even deserve their freedom. [ bleep ] [applause] >> greg: the white lady makes a good point. >> hunter has had -- if it was a black kid, he would be in scale for life right now but hunter, he's got biden privilege. >> plus any time you ask a parent, and i'll give the president a little slack here, it's hard when you're talking about your

i think this story that hunter biden is trying to tell and one that is the genesis of this book is oneonths ago jill and joe biden, the president and first lady put out a statement saying they were supportive of their son and hoped that his story of addiction would help others overcome it. and i think that's really what he's trying to get out here is his side of the story, obviously, he has been in the news and the tabloids were much of the last few years and this is his effort to try to fill in the gaps of where he felt his story wasn't being told. ., , _ felt his story wasn't being told. ., , ., told. he does say it also in the interview, _ told. he does say it also in the interview, but - told. he does say it also in the interview, but to - told. he does say it also in the interview, but to a - told. he does say it also in the interview, but to a lot| told. he does say it also in i the interview, but to a lot of americans, given the opioid epidemic and all sorts of other drug issues, it is something that will win some sympathy from some americans. yeah, i think reported _ from some

hunter biden needs to answer questions about his russia connection and the american people cannot trusted justice department meaning attorney general merrick garland reports to joe biden. literally we know what it happened when it was donald trump, he had a special counsel appointed within a few minutes of his taking on the credit-- presidency and here we have an active investigation supposedly against hunter biden and there's been no special counsel cracks that investigation is inherently compromised. carley: john radcliffe to yesterday said the intelligence community knew this was not russian disinformation law enforcement new it was hunter biden laptop and there was an open investigation into that. tom fitton, we will see what happens. thank you. jillian: thank you. overnight a use of track -- a use of force during a traffic stop. accused of pepper spraying and pointing their guns at second lieutenant karen to serial in december in an internal investigation determined policy was not followed her to the governor called for an independent investigation. she is suing the officers. carle

i had a kid in hunter biden we played football with.dn't wash the under shirt under his pads. we won the championship the last year. the next season he wouldn't wash it. guy stunk. he was crazy. we let him do it because he was superstitious. there's a little of that and a little religious connotation going on. dogmatic aspect to it. people do the -- kiss the crucifix. he feels like if he doesn't have the mask he will be struck down. i don't know. could be an emotional comfort mask to him. i have 9-year-old daughters. they have their little bunnies. they go to sleep with their bunnies. if they can't find them, they go into a panic. when i saw joe where is my mask, where is my mask, reminded me of my 9-year-old daughter. that's not the way an adult reacts. it's not a rationale response. maybe dr. jill biden can talk to him about the issues. i was troubled with the way that he merged patriotism to mask wearing after being vaccinated. the only people to worry about that, antifa, thieves and the clan. they do that to disguise identities. i d

hunter biden is doing this himself. take your brother's widow, maybe that is something he could help him with. but tulane cost $56,000 a year so i think hunter is going there for the money. he is thinking he could get in on that. >> greg: if you have students at tulane right now and you are a parent, called them and tell them to lock the doors because hunter is in town. up next, out with a solution for your chronic tv show indecisiveness. ♪ ♪ not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

biden privilege. any black kid, any poor white would be in prison for years or they might even be dead because clearly, hunterve biden as president. we might not have biden. so there is nice little privilege. juan, you shake your head, but there were polls. there were polls that said that voters would have been swayed if they had known the truth. >> lawrence: do you agree with greg, juan? did his privilege, his color and his privilege all together his dad going to be the next president, help him escape? >> juan: of course. sure. i mean, if you are a rich kid coming from a prominent american family. but, here's the other side to this, i think republicans are trying to turn hunter biden into the next benghazi. the problem with that, lawrence, is i think most americans, i think all of us on this panel say this is a teachly troubled person, drugs, alcohol, mental health issues, relationship issues. but, you know, so we just know. it's like, you know, he's of son of a prominent family always be compared to his more successful brother, who is now deceased. and he is trying to seek redemption in the public spotlight

and jim biden, hunter's uncle and joe's brother, tony bobulinski came forward last october and the ceo of this company they were forming with a chinese conglomerate and he himself met with joe biden about the deal. that joe biden was the secret partner in the deal. that they had set aside 10% for the big guy, and that hunter often referred to his father as the big guy. and another partner in their wrote to tony bobulinski never mention joe face-to-face. joe's involvement because they are paranoid about it. so the fact that joe biden was involved in this deal i think is the essential issue. and hunter, you know, his convenient not sure about the laptop, i think the interviewer at cbs made an honest effort. the follow-up question should have been it is not about the laptops per se but those are the contents. the emails that showed there was this deal with the chinese energy company, ron johnson's senate committee found that hunter and the family got $11 million from the chinese after the deal fell apart. what was that money for? so you have all of this confluence of the biden fam
