Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the NoSpin News Weekend Edition. So Trump says he's not going to debate Kamala a second time. Kamala says she wants to debate on October 23rd in Atlanta, CNN. Trump said, no, it's too late. Early voting has already started. I'm not sure that's in stone. A lot of it will have to do with the polling. Trump might come back and say, okay, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:00:28 maybe vice presidential debate is uh october first coming right up nine p m um new york city cbs nor o'd donald margaret brennan both liberal women all right but that's okay as long as they're fair and they fact check both all right so uh but vance needs to know there's going to be dogs and cats is going to be childless uh cat ladies, a lot of animals, a lot of domestic animals are going to be in that debate. And then everything advanced is said that could be remotely controversial, Margaret and Nora are going to throw out of him. Absolutely, he's got to know that's happening. There is a dinner every year in New York City, the Al Smith dinner. It's thrown by the Cardinal,
Starting point is 00:01:24 Dolan. It's a big, big thing. And it's good, nature dinner where they vote Democrats and Republicans, they'll, you know, jib each other and all of that. And a presidential candidate usually come. Trump said he'd go, comma's not going to go. And in New York City, it's a fairly significant story. It's a snub. No doubt. It's a snub. But look at it from Harris's point of view. She is the queen of promoting abortion. it's constitutional. She promotes it. It's noble. And you got to pay for it even if you don't believe in it. She's going to walk into the Al Smith dinner? No. That's why she's not going. Okay. I obloviated now for 14 minutes. It's time to bring in somebody who can calm me down.
Starting point is 00:02:26 and his name is Vivek Ramoswamy. He's got a new book out tomorrow. The Truths, the Future of America First. And, you know, I don't have to give you a long bio on him. If Trump's elected, he will get a cabinet position. I am almost 100% on that. Okay, so first of all, I'm going to get to your book, but in my little run-up here, anything you object to,
Starting point is 00:02:55 Was I over the top in any way? No, I mean, I think you explored a lot of issues with nuance and the polling side of things. It's worth noting one trend, Bill, just to see, as I know you mentioned, the NBC polls. They pulled more women than men. The only thing I'd add is, in the last several election cycles, you have seen greater turnout for women relative to men as well. That's different from what it was 50 years ago. So I'm just a big fan on our side of not being complacent.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I do think complacency is one of the big risks we could have heading into this election, election. It's what happened in 2022. We didn't have a red wave in 2022. And I'm worried we're at risk of something similar in 2024 unless we actually step up and articulate our own vision of who we are and what we actually stand for. And that's actually the main call to action in the book that I just wrote in releasing as well. We got to step up. The book is, the book is preaching to the choir on a traditional conservative viewpoint, which of course, nothing wrong with that. Did you get any bookings on ABC, NBC, or CBS? Did any of them invite you?
Starting point is 00:04:00 I'm going to be on CNN tomorrow morning. And actually one of the things that I'm trying. I got on CNN. CBS, NBC or ABC? No. It's a very interesting media landscape. What I am trying to do, Bill, it's totally. One of the things I'm trying to do is I'm going to college campuses
Starting point is 00:04:15 because I care about not just preaching to the choir. I actually care about at least presenting the right arguments to people who think they're on the other side. but actually when they're challenged to engage in open debate may actually have a very different view than they thought they did. And that's a good thing. Just be careful. College campus is a good place to do that.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Don't go to Columbia. I mean, you know, you know where to go. But the point of the matter is, two points I want to make to you, the polling services know that Kamala Harris is going to get the majority of female votes in this country. So therefore, very quietly, they're polling more women than men to skew the poll results. They know it, I know it.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And then, of course, my viewers and listeners know it now. The second thing is, CBS, NBC, and ABC, huge conglomerates blackout, refuse to book any non-liberal author. My book, as you know, is opening number one this coming Sunday on the New York Times bestsellers. Far in a way, the bestselling nonfiction book in the world at this point. Okay. I also bring ratings to wherever I go, all right? There's no business decision that would exclude me. It's all ideology. And somebody like you, who's deeply involved in a Trump campaign, who obviously campaigned to be president himself, all right, should be a natural booking on the today show, Good Morning America, on all of the late night shows. And you can't. can't get in. I'm telling you, if you guys win the Trump Trump, you got to take a look at this. Because I'm going back to Teddy Roosevelt with the monopoly situation here. This is wrong. But anyway, let's get to your. You know, it's remarkable. Remarkable is we have to restore that
Starting point is 00:06:10 culture of open debate in this country and we can't have it. I want all views represented. I wouldn't want a conservative administration working with conservative media company through the back door to make sure that the only views that were heard were. You're not. my views. That's right. America's built on diversity of thought. It's actually part of what this whole book is about Billis. I want to give everyday conservatives to not forget the media. How do we do it an ordinary life? The goal of this book is to arm conservatives, but people on our side, to actually talk to their friends. And yes, I do still use the word friends on the left, be they family or friends, at the dinner table, but to have enough courage to be armed with the
Starting point is 00:06:48 facts and the arguments on the touchiest questions from climate change to the transgender debate to racial agendas, how do you talk about the touchy issues where you may face risk of cancellation, but to do it with such precision that nobody's going to be able to penalize you for what you said. But to the contrary, we might actually win over some hearts and minds, as I believe I've had the chance to do over the last year. That's what this book is about, it's allowing every American to be able to do the same thing. So I got two contentions with you. So I opened a book in the first chapter is God is real. Okay, I believe that. I sit through boring sermons every Sunday in Catholic Church. I mean, it's kind of, you know, me, you know, me.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Come on, you can do better than that. I believe God is real, but I believe what I want to believe. Now, I wrote killing Jesus, and I know what happened there. But you're stating for a fact that God is real. And you know that a large portion of population is going to say, no, he's not. There's no proof of that. How do you answer that? Yeah, so there's a few things I do in that chapter. The first thing I make clear is this is not the job of the government to enforce.
Starting point is 00:08:08 But the question is, is our culture worse off because of the widespread of secular atheists? as a new kind of religion in the country, yes, it is. And the truth of the matter is, we don't have hostility towards atheists in this country today, but what we do have is increasing hostility to persons of faith, limiting their religious liberty. My view, Bill, I don't know if you show this to you, but my view is, I don't care if you want to get married, who you want to marry, the government should not stand in your way as long as, as long as, you know what, they're not forcing you to actually force officiate somebody's wedding who you don't believe in.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yet that's exactly what's happening is the reverse of that is happening, are forcing people who don't want to participate in functions that run against their religious convictions. Sure. So one of the points I make in that chapter, we need to restore religious liberty. And part of especially amongst young people, what's missing is we do have this missing vacuum in the heart of a generation who wants to believe in something bigger than themselves, yet they can't even answer what it means to be an American or whether or not they believe in a higher power. Yeah, they know nothing about theology. And that's a parental, parental dereliction.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Tharu, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA.
Starting point is 00:09:45 They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326, 5576, or text Bill to 9988-9-9-8-8-9. Again, that's 866-326-5576 or text bill to 998899. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors,
Starting point is 00:10:40 lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. The second thing that caught my attention was global warming is not real. But it is real. I mean, you know it is because you can scientifically. I didn't say that quite.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yeah, I didn't say that quite. It's close. I said the climate change agenda is a hoax, is what I said in there. But it's not going to be taken that way. When I was reading it, I went, is he a climate denier? Now, I just want to tell you how I know. So I went to Alaska, I went to Glacier Bay, one of those beautiful places on Earth, okay? And the guys are taking me out, like they always do whenever I go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:11:37 people who worked there and I said, what's a situation? You go, well, we lost about 30, 35% of the glacier because the temperatures are warmer. And where I live on the ocean, I can see that the change in what has happened here. So global warming is real. Now, the political agenda attached to it, you're absolutely correct. So they're trying to use climate change to impose socialism. That's what they're trying to do. Go.
Starting point is 00:12:06 So the one thing on the science, though, and this is where I really aim to break this down in the book, and I hope people benefit from it, is I ask the question, let's break this down into four questions. One is, are global surface temperatures going up? Yes, they are. The second question is, are we sure that is due to man-made causes? It appears to be highly correlated. Are we sure it's due to increased carbon dioxide? There we have less certainty. There's only 0.04% of the atmosphere that's carbon dioxide today, which is a relative low. over the course of the history of the Earth, it's almost at an all-time low. Then you ask the question that nobody asks Bill, but this is the one that really matters and I hit hard in the book. Are we sure that increasing surface temperatures by a little bit is necessarily a bad thing for human beings? And actually, the counterintuitive thing we learned through a lot of the facts I lay out in the book is,
Starting point is 00:12:57 actually, there are some positive effects of slightly increasing global surface temperatures. Here's one. It's a fact that eight times as many people, die of cold temperatures rather than warm ones. So way more people die of cold temperatures than warm ones. A slight increase in global surface temperatures actually means fewer temperature-related deaths. Here's another fact.
Starting point is 00:13:18 The Earth is more covered by green surface area, by plants, today than it was a century ago because plants grow in not only warmer climates, but carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere is actually plant food. Plants actually take that back up, creating what's called a greening effect on the planet. The funny thing many people watching your program may remember is back in the 1970s,
Starting point is 00:13:41 the thing that climate scientists worried about was not global warming. Back then, they worried about a global ice age because more people have actually died of ice ages in human history than have ever died of warming. And so the question is against the backdrop of, are there going to be some negatives to surface temperatures going up? Yes. But are there also some positives? The answer also there is yes.
Starting point is 00:14:02 It is far from clear, let alone certain that that net effect is actually net net. negative. And for that, we're asked to change our entire modern way of life, by the way, only in the West, without asking places like China to do the same thing. That's why I said the climate change agenda is a hope. It's very provocative and thought-provoking. And that's the bottom line on your book. So the book comes out tomorrow, it's called Truths, the Future of America First. And even if you don't subscribe to Mr. Ramoswami's point of view, it's a very provocative book. So it'll get you thinking about a number of situations because each chapter is a different is a different subject it's not just a diatribe of conservative thought so anyway vevec thank you for helping us out we appreciate it if you ever got anything on your mind you just let us know what you put you right back on all right good luck with what your audience thinks of the book and we'll come back for to talk about it thank you bill cheers you're listening to the no spinoos weekend edition a few weeks ago uh in california was a very interesting
Starting point is 00:15:06 occurrence. A former state senator, okay? In fact, she was the Senate majority leader in Sacramento at the press conference and said, I'm switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party and I'm going to vote for Donald Trump. The woman's name is Gloria Romero. She joins us now from Malibu, California, not a bad place unless there's a fire. She's author of the book, just not that likable. The price all women pay for gender bias. So your life must have been lively the last few weeks. Caught a lot of people by surprise your announcement, right? It did. But I think people who know me, and especially some of the fights that I've had with Sacramento to get back to some sense of normalcy and representing the working class and the middle
Starting point is 00:16:00 class in California. I don't think they were as surprised as many others. Okay, but you're a powerful Democrat in a state that's overwhelmingly Democrat. We're also a contemporary of Kamala Harris. I want to get into that in a moment. But when you say you're going to vote for Trump in California, that's like voting for the devil. I mean, have people shunned you because of that position? In politics, you have to have a thick skin, and I do, believe me. So yes, there have been some smears, you'd be surprised I've had a number of Democrats and others who have reached out to me to say, hey, we applaud what you did and we're kind of thinking about that too, although maybe not as public. There's been a massive walk away from the Democratic Party given the leadership of Gavin Newsom
Starting point is 00:16:50 and in a state that was represented by Kamala Harris. Well, California's in disarray. I mean, you're paying the highest prices for a gallon of gasoline in the country by far. People are leaving, and for my money, California's most beautiful state in the union. I've been every county. I mean, I've been up in the Lessons County. I mean, it's just a fabulous place to live, or it used to be. But now the government, the Democratic government there, wants to control everything that people do.
Starting point is 00:17:20 They don't particularly care about solving problems. All you have to do is go to San Francisco and look at the mess that city's in. Education is declining because they won't, the unions dominate, and you won't throw over charter schools and all that. It's just on and on and on and on. Okay, so when did you first meet Kamala Harris? I was in the California State Senate. I believe I first met her when she was district attorney
Starting point is 00:17:46 and then later ran for Attorney General. But one of the first interactions that I had with her is when she came to the Senate Public Safety Committee, which I then chaired, she was interested in running a piece of legislation, getting support for a bill that would go after truancy. Now, on the surface, this might sound good. But what was interesting was that she was focused on going after mostly these would be low income, probably mostly African-American Latina mothers whose kids were, I'm going to say, trapped in chronically failing schools in California, around which when she became Attorney General, she did nothing about.
Starting point is 00:18:34 In fact, if we look at those statistics, even today, Oakland schools, her hometown, 75% of Latino and African American children are not reading at basic levels of proficiency or doing math. And she exacerbated these chronically failing schools by going after a court victory. It was called the Vergara case. All right. So what you're saying is that she put up some truancy bill, but she wasn't interested in the underlying causes of the failed education, which are gangs and teachers are afraid, particularly in Oakland, which is totally out of control. Now, on balance, watching her and correct. me if I'm wrong, Mr. Romero, you know a lot more about your state than I do. I see a machine
Starting point is 00:19:27 politician, somebody who was elected in San Francisco as a district attorney based on our connections with Willie Brown, former Speaker of the House in Sacramento, former mayor of San Francisco. They had an association, let me use that word, okay? She got into the Democratic machine. She's very articulate, and then she's just kind of moved on up, like the old sitcom The Jefferson's. Am I reading that wrong? No, you have a perfect readership on this. It basically is it. I mean, party politics dominate the most powerful force in the Democratic Party in California
Starting point is 00:20:07 is the California Teachers Association, to which she hitched herself in going after the Truant Mothers. as well as basically trying to defeat that case that I described at the Supreme Court level. She is the one as Attorney General who went after the parents and the kids who had won that victory to shut them down, thereby. So she did the bidding of the union and put together a coalition of the willing. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the, world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home,
Starting point is 00:21:01 new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast, listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:21:41 One of her pitches is she was very tough on the Mexican drug cartels in California. We can't find any evidence of that at all, none. There's no evidence. Okay, I'm glad you said that because I don't want to be wrong. She prosecuted cases that were brought to her by state and local authorities, but she didn't do anything unilaterally to fight this terrible menace that has devastated California. So I'm right on that? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And also, if you take a look at what's happening in California today with all of the rampant crime, the smash and grabs. You can't walk into a single, like, thrifty CVS and not find a barricade of plastic shelves behind which are products for sale. She is the one as Attorney General who wrote deceptively the title and summary of a measure which basically gave rise to this issue of, you can steal up to $950 in California and basically not be punished with it. She is the one who gave California that summary. California citizens are responsible too, but you're saying that she was behind the ballot measure, right? Correct.
Starting point is 00:22:54 As Attorney General, it was a very deceptive summary. That's not really a crime fighter. All right, then she gets into D.C. as a senator. And again, we've investigated her to Senate record. Nothing passed in four years. Didn't do anything that we can see to advance the welfare of the country. Did she do anything to help California while she was in Washington? there are no results that we can say take a look over here i think it's hard for anybody to do it
Starting point is 00:23:22 she's known basically for her going after the supreme court justices for their uh potential appointment to the supreme court but i don't think that her her scrutiny of them is anything to write home about all right but you were the senate majority leader in sacramento and you know when you're a senator you're supposed to bring back some good stuff to your state you see anything good that she brought to California into four years she's in the Senate? I'm sure there was some money that was funneled into California, but there isn't really anything that she was known for. It was quite clear. When she first was running for the Senate, everybody knew it was going to be a short step, and then she was going to immediately start
Starting point is 00:24:05 campaigning for the presidency. There were people who said she thinks she's the female Obama, and that's basically what everybody knew who supported her. She was being fast. has a base of support in Hollywood, in San Francisco, in Silicon Valley, very wealthy base of support, right? And that propelled her. Correct. Okay. Now, she gets to be vice president, and again, one of the big issues in your state is the border. I mean, you've got, you know, an imperial county in San Diego County. You've got absolute chaos there. Did she do anything to help California in those two counties? No, in fact, we saw video surfaced with her just recently, basically saying no deportation ever.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Even President Obama was known as the Deporter-in-Chief, and you contrast that with her video, basically her saying no deportation ever. All right, so you guys in Sacramento didn't see any improvement, even though she's vice president and was tasked to improve things at the board. Is that a fair statement? You didn't see any improvement. I don't even see there's no improvement at all. I think what it is, she was not focused on California.
Starting point is 00:25:24 She was focused at that time in getting a national name so she could establish herself to run for the presidency. That's really where it was. But I understand that. When you're tasked with improving things at the border and you're from California and California's under siege, you would think that there would be something that she would do to help you guys. Okay, final question on her, and then I have one more question for you.
Starting point is 00:25:51 So Kamala Harris, who is a very shrewd woman, all right, who's now portraying herself as a moderate that she wants to bring everybody together. When you see those spots, knowing her and her history, what goes through your mind? It's just an artificial construction. It's Hollywood. It's a script. It's a narrative. It's not the truth. And sadly, I think for most of us who have been in politics and seen this, we've seen how aided by a mainstream media and a very powerful machine that does not want America first, they are aiding and abetting the creation of an anybody but Trump candidate.
Starting point is 00:26:34 This is it. They're mythologizing the vice president, so Trump will lose. Do you have any hesitancy at all with your long history? of democratic politics, of voting for Donald Trump? Not at all. I think in looking at it, I think it's very much wanting to restore America first. It is wanting to have a thriving economy. I believe in pathways to citizenship, but this borders are, has completely made a mockery
Starting point is 00:27:02 out of what citizenship means with a completely open border. As a woman, I find it extremely offensive that apparently the Democratic Party today can't define a woman. I'm sorry, but men cannot get pregnant. We don't need tampons in boys' bathrooms. Title IX has been eviscerated, and there has been no comments from Kamala Harris on any of these issues at all. So I'm looking forward to a Trump presidency. There has been a great walkaway, especially among groups like Latinos, of which I'm Latina. Many of us are walking away saying this is not the part of represents us.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Trump is doing much better with Latinos. Well, we appreciate your candor, Ms. Romero. It's very refreshing for somebody like me who's used to politicians being kind of disingenuous. So thank you very much for appearing. And the book, again, is just not that likable. The price, all women pay for gender bias. Okay, I hope we can talk again soon.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Thank you, madam. We appreciate it. This is the No Spin News Weekend Edition. Okay, so let's move this story. ahead. A columnist for the New York Post named Miranda DeBine is not a fan of Biden Harris. I think that's clear by her writing. But she backs up a lot of what she says, which is what all I need. I don't care who you're fan of. As long as you back it up, okay? She has a new book out, the big guy, How a president and his son sold out America. She joins us now from New York City.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So for people who don't know, the New York Post is vilified for putting the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop in the paper and saying they were true. When you had 51 national security experts saying it was Russian disinformation, on and on. And we all know the story. And the New York Post was born out to be the truth teller, the others. Should be very embarrassed. They're not, but they should be because they were misleading. We all know that Biden, on numerous occasions, enabled his son to make millions of dollars by doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Hunter Biden didn't provide any service at all. All this is documented. What I want to talk to you about is where does it go now? So it doesn't seem to me that either Hunter or Joe Biden you're going to be held accountable for any of this, what say you? Well, Hunter is having some measure of accountability bill, and thanks for having me on, too, because if it hadn't been for those IRS whistleblowers, he would not have had to plead guilty as he just did in California for these tax
Starting point is 00:29:58 felonies, and he'll get jail time, I'm told, and then his father will pardon him. And he would not have been charged in Delaware with gun crimes. and been convicted there. So, look, that is certainly surprising to him because he's gotten away with Blue Murder his entire life. His father has always protected him. All right, let me stop you, though. Let me push back on this.
Starting point is 00:30:24 He's getting away with it. Because, number one, all right, he may get a fine in the tax beef, but his buddy out in L.A. will probably pay that because he's been paying all his bills. up to now. So Hunter is walking away with $10 million and his uncle James, same thing. A lot of money. Okay. Number two, as you rightly pointed out, Joe Biden will pardon his son. So he's not going to spend any jail time. He's not going to be anything. You just go back to doing what he does,
Starting point is 00:30:57 whatever that may be. Am I wrong? Yeah. No, you're right. But I mean, at least he's been hauled before a court of law and has been proven to be, you know, a wrongdoing. and a liar and Joe Biden, you know, in court the Hunter Biden laptop was brandished. I watched it be walk across the room with the prosecutor and be shown to the jury and shown to the FBI witness who verified that that was what it was. And Hunter Biden's lawyers have been pretending that that's not his laptop or that it's Russian disinformation and so on. And I think really the most important thing in terms of accountability is not really the
Starting point is 00:31:37 Bidens. I mean, you know, corrupt politicians have been around for a long time and America survives them. I think the real problem is the cabal of CIA, FBI, State Department, IRS, Department of Justice, people who have protected Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. But they're all going to get away with it. Some of them have got sanctioned. But look, When you look at this in totality, all right, from top to bottom, a vice president of the United States sold his influence to enrich his son and brother. That's what happened. Now, you're right. To China.
Starting point is 00:32:21 To China, to Russia, remember the mayor of Moscow, to Ukraine, on and on. Now, in researching my book, confronting the presidents, that has happened before, all right? U.S. Grant. He had his brother amassing a fortune by stealing from Native Americans. It happened in many administrations,
Starting point is 00:32:47 Warren Harding, my God, all right. But it looks like nothing is going to happen to Joe Biden. If you watch the view and you didn't know anything about American politics today, you would have thought this guy was Abraham Lincoln when he walked out on that stage today. It was crazy. But don't you think that Joe Biden's image has been quite savagely tarnished because his son left that laptop in that laptop repair shop? By some, but certainly not by the corporate media, not by the corporate media.
Starting point is 00:33:23 True, but half the country knows the truth about Joe Biden, that he's not honest, from Scranton. He's not the poorest man in Congress. I'll see that half the country understands that. Now, here's the most important question I'm going to ask you. There were two committees run by Republicans that looked deeply into Vice President Biden selling his influence. They could not come up with the cliche smoking gun. They couldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:33:55 They came up with circumstantial evidence. all day long. I believe that Biden sold his influence. You believe he sold his influence, but they couldn't nail him. Why? Because I think that it was a mistake for them to go looking for a money trail to Joe Biden. You know, you can be guilty of bribery if your family member takes the money. And there's no doubt that Joe Biden's extended family got money from China and Russia and all those countries and that they disguised it. That's well established. And I think it was a strategic error for James Comer and Jordan and the rest of them to think that they were going to find some smoking gun. Joe Biden's not stupid. He has been doing this for 50 years. He's not going to
Starting point is 00:34:47 leave a money trail for people to find. But there was a trail and that is the title of your book. The Big Guy. We have to sell. aside 10% for the big guy. This is what Hunter Biden wrote. Did you advance that story any? Yeah, it was what Hunter Biden wrote, but that deal never came through. It never came to fruition.
Starting point is 00:35:14 It fell apart with the Chinese. And, you know, Joe Biden denies that he received any money, and various witnesses have appeared and said that, No, he didn't get that 10%. But, you know, there were a few checks that went to Joe Biden, $250,000 after one deal, $250,000 after another from his brother, Jim. But they were portrayed as loan repayments, and there's no evidence to say that they weren't.
Starting point is 00:35:42 But again, Joe Biden benefits when he doesn't have to pay tuition to Ivy League colleges for his son's Hunter and Bo, because Hunter was paying it through the grace and favor payments that he got from Joe Biden. Donors. Joe Biden benefits when he buys a DuPont mansion at a cheap price. He benefits when he gets land and he gets this house built at cut price. You know, he lives like the Great Gatsby and he has no discernible income to fund that lifestyle. And so you can only surmise from the amount of money he makes, and the IRS investigators did try, who became whistleblowers, did try to follow the money trail and the evidence trail where it led to Joe Biden, but they were obstructed again by this
Starting point is 00:36:36 cover-up, by the Department of Justice that made it hands-off. You could not ask about Joe. No, there's no doubt about it. Yeah. And sadly, this has happened more than a few times in the vice president, president precincts. The book is the big guy, our president, his son sold America, Miranda Devine. Thanks to talk a list, Miranda, and good luck. I think you and I will be on the bestseller list at the same time. That'll be fun, right? It'll be great. And thanks for having me on.
