miranda devine even during their years in business together. how would you describe the relationship between hunter hunter biden and his uncle jim biden? well, jim biden, they were very close personally when hunted. biden's mother and baby sister were killed when he was in a car crash that he was in when he was two years old, three days old. his uncle, jim biden, actually moved into the garage of the house. joe biden, sister val biden, she moved into the house to take care of him along with joe biden's mother, because joe biden had just been made to finish off at delaware and he was off in washington busy doing what he did. and he had these two motherless sons, hunter, in his big brother, beau. and so jim biden was sort of a surrogate father to joe hunter and really looked after him. i mean, when hunter went off the rails several times on, you know, crack and alcohol and his prostitute addiction, it was jim biden who would sweep in and cut him off to rehab. hunter really trusted jim biden and trusted his judgment, although jim biden's judgment

i heard miranda devine was there. more of that in a moment. this was a hero's welcome by in large from young people. and now in today's wall street journal, patrick talks about the young leaving the democratic party and going to mr. trump's new republican party. in 2008, here's some numbers, president obama won the 18-29-year-old's vote by 34 points. those same voters that are roughly 30-34 years old went to kamala harris by only 3 points. among today's 18-29-year-olds, that's todays, ms. harris only had a 4 point edge. the numbers change but the tram 7 working class land -- trump working class landslide included blacks, hispanics, asians, and the young moving from democrat to republican trump. they all want economic growth and a closed border and an america they can be proud of. rafini calls the new trump coalition aspirational. i completely agree. during the 11 day trump victory lap, he's managed to appoint, get this, 28 cabinet and other senior positions to staffing his administration. and as our friend newt gingrich rights, newt will be he

miranda devine, this is a complicated story you're telling in this book in 3000-plus -- 300- plus pageswhat's the simple explanation? >> guest: thanks, peter. look, it's the story of the cover up of joe biden's family corruption. i wrote the first book, "do the laptop from hell," which was basically the tale as told by snippets on hunter biden's abandoned laptop but also that wasn't new. i e also relied on -- wasn't i enough. i also relied on whistleblowers and also congressional pointigations up the that that had been done by senators johnson and grassley. but as soon as our first stories in "the new york post" were published about the laptop and showing specifically documents that suggested that joe biden was involved in his son hunter biden's influence peddling particularly with the ukrainians, our stories at "the new york post" were censored immediately by big tech x. that led me on the journey to this current book because, i mean, i just feel like we were all so naive a back in october of 2020. we didn't realize the extent of the cover-up. at first i thought it was just twitter and

let's focus on the ufcboxing championship at msg, i heard miranda devine was there. this was a hero's welcome. by and large, from young people. now in today's "wall street journal" patrick talks about young. leaving the democratic party. and going to mr. trump's new republican party. in 2008, here are numbers president biden won the 18 to 29 year old vote by 34 points, those same voters, now roughly 30 to 44 years old, went for kamala harris by only 3 points. among today's 18-29-year-olds that is today, miss harris had 4 point edge. numbers change. but the trump working class landslide includes blacks, hispanics, asians, unions and the young moving from democrat kamala to republican trump. all want economic growth. and a closed border, and an america they exhibit proud of, the new trump coalition is called as aspirational and i agree. he has appointed 28 cabinet and senior positions for his administration. as our friend newt gingrich writes, this is the most reform oriented cabinet in history -- promises made, promises kept, success is the best way to end divisions a

miranda devine joins us now. >> good morning, lawrence. good to see you. >> lawrence: likewise.ction is hard for the democrats right now. some of them even want to double down. watch. why?>> they were surprised that someone they were calling hitler nothinged to beat them not just in electoral college but popular vote. it was a clean sweep from coast to coast. that's humiliating for them and shows them up to be people who lied about donald trump and not in touch with the american people. and so, they are trying all sorts of tactics, i mean adam schiff is there not wanting to make enemies within the party but obviously joe biden should not have been running for re-election. part of the problem for the democrats, a big part was that they had such terrible candidates. and kamala harris didn't make it any better by picking a really bad vp in tim walz. on policy, they are a disaster, whether it's the economy or the border, or their sort of woke antics, they are out of touch with the american people. and i don't see any real soul searching, after licking their wounds for a little while

post columnist miranda devine points us right now. t was hard to watch but so many families across the united states impacted by by crime like this and the administration is like it is not that big of a problem, it would seem. >> yes, steve. it really is a striking lack of empathy or concern for the victims and their families. everybody else who lives here in fear of the same thing happening to them and their loved ones. you heard yesterday and that heartbreaking scene in the courtroom. laken riley's friends who are the same age as her, young, early 20 students character they said they felt themselves scared to go out. they lost their peace of mind. they lost their best friend. and they are also in fear and had ptsd themselves peer to that is the ripple impact across the entire community of these crimes. you know, of course, the riley family is suffering the most terrible heartache. so, nothing from joe biden. donald trump met with the families of these victims during the campaign and even before the campaign. he genuinely showed empat

new york columnist and author miranda devine joins us now. our lady in red. : hi. what happened here? if you were following her campaign, some women thought she has it with them. she did worse than biden did with women. and bill clinton did with women. >> and hillary clinton as well. >> ainsley: that's right. >> look, donald trump beats her by five points with the largest female demographic, white women. and with young women he did 7 points better than he had in 2020. so, all the stories that we were told before the election, that he was a misogynist and women hated him, we have going through the gender election. all of that was untrue. and, in fact, women voted as they usually do on the issues. not just because they wanted some symbolic win for women with a female candidate or because they cared so deeply about abortion. which seemed to be the only issue that kamala harris ever got passionate about. there were much more important issues that women voted on because women are just people after all. >> ainsley: yeah, that's right. rachel campos-duffy was on our

steve: if did you go to the "new york post" website, the lead story is all about nancy pelosi, miranda devineas written a great op-ed. nancy pelosi has finished -- no one deserves more blame for the dem's $1 billion electoral collapse than her. keep in mind, she is the one who stabbed joe biden in the chest. and essentially he had to walk the plank. so she is the reason kamala harris was the nominee and she is the reason, according to some people, that they really stunk up the place this election. >> ainsley: pelosi told the "new york times" that president biden should have dropped his re-election bid earlier. and that if he had, democrats might have had the opportunity to run an open primary. and that led to this headline. axios headline says scoop, house dems sick of pelosi. and one senior house democrat in this interview says, quote: she needs take a seat. >> brian: how disrespectful it is for the sitting speaker. hakeem jeffries. he is the one who should be front and center. he should be giving explanations, excuses and setting up a mission. and he said -- a member of the congressional bl
