Starting point is 00:00:00 World records are being set now almost every day. The Guinness World Record for most unmanned aerial vehicles, you know, drones in the air at the same time, has just been set. Genesis, the Hyundai-owned auto brand just broke the record or set the record. 3,281 drones into the Shanghai Night Sky a few days ago. And they were doing that to promote their entrance into China. And it looks, it actually looks kind of cool. It was their brand Genesis with their, you know, their auto brand and then the big words Genesis underneath.
Starting point is 00:00:55 So they had two genesis. You know, you had the car logo and then Genesis underneath with 3,281 drones all lit up in the sky. And it looks really cool. But it also breaks my heart that I don't have a Guinness World Record. We here at Chewing the Fat and me, Jeff Fisher, need to have a Guinness World Record. So email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com with some ideas. We're going to have to just start going through the Guinness World Record. record book and find some records to break and or set because this show, this show needs to have a
Starting point is 00:01:36 Guinness World record and I'm tired of saying it and thinking it and without any action. So that needs to happen. It just needs to happen. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Good news for those of you that were thinking. Man, I really want the COVID-19 vaccine, but I can't get it. It's not available.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Well, as of today, if you're listening live, the 6th of April, 2021. If you live in New York, you're eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. They're setting up the new subway series between Pfizer and Moderna. Yay! Now, more than 30 states have made shots available to all adults. including a dozen more yesterday, and New Jersey announced its opening up eligibility to everyone over 16, beginning on April 19th. So if you are one of the people that were concerned that, poof, man, I really want the vaccine, but it's not available to me. Well, it is now.
Starting point is 00:02:47 So have fun. Today is a big day. Today is the day that Beautiful Things, the Hunter Biden book, is released. for all to read. Now, there have been plenty of Hunter interviews out there, and we're going to go over some a little bit later on in this podcast. I'm going to be talking to Phelam McLeer, who is producing the My Son Hunter movie.
Starting point is 00:03:12 And I am looking forward to his thoughts on all the interviews that Hunter has given and the notes coming from the book. It's just fascinating. It does seem that he has an issue about remembering things. Now, could that have been brought on by the drugs? Sure. But I'm looking forward to the making of the movie, My Son Hunter,
Starting point is 00:03:37 which is going to be crowdfunded from people like you. You can learn more about it at My Son Huntermovie.com. The movie's going to tell it all. Hunter's wild escapades, the contents on his laptop, his shady foreign business deals, yes, and even his ties to China. Now, you may not remember Phelam McLare, but he is the filmmaker behind the Gossinel movie. And this feature film, My Son Hunter, is going to expose the Hunter Biden scandal.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And, you know, Hollywood is not going to fund this movie. So it's too controversial. And it exposes the truth behind some of the most powerful people in politics. And so that's why they're bringing the film directly to the people like you. You, your gift of $10, $50, $100, or even more will help expose the most corrupt family. You know, probably since the Clintons, but I would argue that is the most corrupt family. And the donation is 100% tax deductible. My SonHuntermovie.com.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Make your donation, help out. Let's get this movie made. I am so looking forward to it. And we'll be talking to Phelan McLear a little bit later on in the show. But for sure, go to my sonhuntermovie.com and give what you can and let's get this movie made. I know right now they're at 20% of what they need to get this movie made. Let's bump that up a little, okay? Mysonhuntermovie.com.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Okay. Lena Dunham. You know where you love her. The 34-year-old actress, according to this story, can now add fashion designer. to her resume. Now, just because someone says they're a fashion designer, I mean, I am fashion personally. If you listen to this show, you know that.
Starting point is 00:05:37 But she doesn't mean that you are a good fashion designer. But she has now teamed up with the size inclusive designer shopping site, 11 all-A. To create a collection of five pieces, priced from $98 to $298, available in sizes 12 to 26. Ooh. Starting today, April 6th. Now, you know, good.
Starting point is 00:06:09 You know, there should be clothes for, you know, fat gals just like fat guys, of which I am, you know, an athletically overweight fat guy. And I have, you know, talked about that forever. But the design. The designs that they show that they're making a big deal that she made, the Navy pinstriped blazer, the mini skirt, a printed dress, which looks a lot like Moos by Jeffie, by the way, a shirt and a mock neck tank.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's not that good. I'm sorry, Elena. You know, I realize that sometimes, you know, there's plenty of stuff that fat guys wear that you wouldn't wear if you, I love I love plenty of designer clothes but they don't come in fat guy sizes if they did I would wear them
Starting point is 00:07:03 but apparently they don't want anything to do with fat guys so she has designed these and these are great and you know with the 11 on re and she said the double standard exists when it comes to best and worst dress list as well and you know I've often wondered when designer outfits I've worn have been mocked and ripped apart, whether the same look on a more mainstream fashion body might be celebrated.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Well, here's the deal, Lena. You're not... I got to be careful how I put this, okay? Let's just be clear. Lena is not the best-looking female on the planet. All right? There you go. There, I said it.
Starting point is 00:07:50 All right? There, I said it. Now, I get it. She's a star. And, you know, we love her boldness. And so does her 2.8 million followers on Instagram. I get it. But you'd think that she'd be able to come up with something a little bit better than what she did.
Starting point is 00:08:09 So. Anyway, they're available out there so you can, you can just go out there and get the Elena Dunham fashion line from her 11-Ur-Rae collection. and she's modeling them in this story that I'm looking at. And I... I... I... I'll just leave it at that.
Starting point is 00:08:36 All right. So it is the seventh day of testimony in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the murder trial in Minneapolis with the death of George Floyd. The guy that was with him is supposed to testify today. Maurice Hall, who was with Floyd that day. And in fact, right now is in jail on other charges. But he has said that he will not testify and will invoke his Fifth Amendment constitutional right, self-incrimination and not testify as ordered in the fired police officer's trial. The judge is going to listen to what he has to say without the jury there.
Starting point is 00:09:17 They already gave him an opportunity to not be in his jail scrub. he'll be in he'll be in regular clothes probably you know a nice suit and tie instead of the you know jail jump suit but he said he's not going to
Starting point is 00:09:37 testify so we'll see what happens I mean he's already he's given an interview to the New York Times he left Minneapolis right after and he was arrested in Texas by the way on other outstanding warrants so he's good guy and that's really would
Starting point is 00:09:54 throw, I mean, that's why the jury's not going to be there, right? We don't want to see what information can and cannot be used in court with this guy. But we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens today. Yesterday you had the police chief and there was, you know, testimony. And look, it doesn't matter. We already talked about it. It's a done deal, right?
Starting point is 00:10:17 The officer, former officer, is guilty. Period. Period. Guilty. This is the way it is. I know many of you have been emailing me, and this is a similar email, an email that I received,
Starting point is 00:10:33 and I get many like this. Officer Cho's fate was sealed as soon as George Floyd ingested the drugs. If he was held in the police car, he would have died. Restrained in any manner, he would have died. Sitting quietly on the curb, he would have died. I doubt he could have been saved even in an emergency room.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Fentanyl causes respiratory distress, and then death. George Floyd was going to die. If Officer Chauvin had used a less effective hold that they could have, they could both be dead due to the difference in size in the initial revved-up condition of Floyd. According to this email,
Starting point is 00:11:04 this person believes that they are not a cold, heartless human being. This whole thing makes me very sad. And that was my point in the beginning of all of this, was that we all agreed. It was horrific. Watching some of the trial footage that they're airing of the death of George Floyd
Starting point is 00:11:20 just is, It makes me sick. It makes me sick to my stomach. And, you know, you can, I know that we're, I know everyone is, has their day in court. And you're innocent until proven guilty. I get it. But this is, we are in a bad place. And let's, I mean, if he's found, I keep saying it, but I mean, if he has found innocent or not guilty in this case,
Starting point is 00:11:50 it's not going to be pretty. so let's just hope and I hate to even say this because this is horrible too I don't want let's just hope that he's found guilty and we send them off to prison for the rest of his life and he will be in solitary confinement there's no way I mean you think
Starting point is 00:12:11 Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide Derek Chauvin will be committing suicide as well in prison and it will be you know suicide died in quotation marks. You can count on that. So his life as he knew it has been over,
Starting point is 00:12:34 and it will never come back ever. And you know, you make the argument that's the same with George Floyd, right? So, you know, the only way that it could have been avoided on that day was for George Floyd not to try to pass counterfeit money off, which would mean he wouldn't have, you know, broken the law. But, hey, that's the way it goes. Speaking of that, that's the way it is, congratulations to actress, superstar, 48-year-old,
Starting point is 00:13:08 Fand-away Newton. She is, and you may not know who I'm talking about because I said her name with the W in it. I spelled it as I said it. looking at the spelling of T-H-A-N-D-I-W-E. And she was long credited over the years as Thandi. T-H-A-N-D-I-E. No, no more, okay?
Starting point is 00:13:36 She is taking the W back. And that was, you know, it's included in her name now. And that's her name with the W, okay? It means beloved. in Shona, the language of Zimbabwe, where her mom was a princess, or is a princess. That's my name. It's always been my name.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I'm taking back what's mine. So congratulations to Fandy. Oh, I'm sorry, Thandui. I said, Thandahui now? I'm not, I'm not real sure. I apologize. I'm not, you know, I don't want to say it wrong without the W. So it used to be Thandi, T-H-N-T-H-A-N-D-I-E.
Starting point is 00:14:18 now it's T-H-N-D-I-W-E so congratulations good for you happy you're taking the W back sure it's yours and you need to take it back okay I'm apparently she's in the position now where you know she can take the W back in her name it was carelessly missed out as a one goes back to her first unscreen credit when they when the w in her name was missed out and now she she's went all this time leaving it out but now she's pissed and she's taking it back she's reclaiming the w and from now on she said the most thing that she's most grateful for now is that now being complicit in the objectification of black people as others, which is what happens when
Starting point is 00:15:26 you're the only one. Okay. She said going forward, wherever I position myself now, I don't want to be part of the problem. I want to be part of the solution. That's good. I'm good for you. I'm not for higher anymore. Oh, so you're going to quit acting? No, I'm not really. She said, I'm not going to speak your story or say your words if I don't feel they could have come from me. Okay. Isn't that acting? I just, that's just the question I have, Thandwe. I just, I was wondering, isn't that acting?
Starting point is 00:16:05 So if you're just speaking words or, you know, speak your speaking stories that didn't come from you. That's acting, right? That's what you do. I know, I know, I know. Look, she's having a longer struggle. She had an eating disorder. She struggled with that.
Starting point is 00:16:28 She said she almost died from it. And then, you know, because of therapy and personal development, she's, you know, as well as the philosophy of Buddhism and dance with death no longer rears its head. head. So she said that if someone has an eating disorder, I wish I could talk to you. And the questions that I would ask you would range all over your life from the first memory because you're unique. And the same power that is driving you to hurt yourself, you can change
Starting point is 00:17:03 that to a power to nurture yourself once you find the kernel of truth that has been denied you. okay well good i mean i i like that but it just struggles she's at the point now it made a lot of money uh over the years without the w by the way and now that she's had the cash and she's able to say hey i'm not for hire anymore she can you know she can take the w back so congratulations to thandway newton uh You taking your W back. Let's get that back. And she has.
Starting point is 00:17:48 And she's taking the W back. Bastard stealing her W. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink right out of this. So we can right now. So good. So good news. The Major League Baseball has decided where they're going to play the All-Star game.
Starting point is 00:18:13 and good for them. They chose Denver, Colorado. Yep, we pulled it out of Atlanta because Atlanta and anything to do with Georgia is bad. But Denver, Colorado, good. So good news is that Denver is 80% white and about not even 10% black. And, you know, Atlanta is, well, over 50% black. and, you know, 41% white, 40-ish, 41-ish percent white. So we had to, I mean, in the name of, the name of inclusivity, yes, in the name of
Starting point is 00:18:58 inclusivity, here in the break room, we got to go to Denver, which is 80, almost 81-ish percent white. Man, Major League Baseball, you, good job. Although I thought they would, you know, just cancel it all together. But no, no, they are going to bring it to Denver, Colorado. Congratulations. I hope it works out for you. South Korean electronics maker LG.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah. The 12-year-old smartphone business is being powered down. It's going to be no more. They're going to focus on more profitable areas like smart home devices and electric vehicle parts. That's probably a good move right there. once the world's third largest smartphone maker LG shipped just 23 million phones last year. Wow. Because think of this.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Samsung, 256 million phones were shipped last year. That's quite a difference. That's where you start thinking about maybe we ought to not make phones anymore. And they did, and they're not going to. They thought they could have a profitable year, but do you do? new. They spent 23 consecutive quarters of losses. 4.4
Starting point is 00:20:14 a billion dollars. Ooh, yeah, at some point you're in the boardroom going ooh, uh, maybe we ought to, we ought to stop making these phones and really were, we're losing a lot of money. And I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:29 23 quarters of losing money, sooner or later, you got to think, whoof, it's time to have to give up, right? Speaking of phones, though, and Androids, you know, Samsung, yesterday the Supreme Court ruled that Google did not violate copyright law
Starting point is 00:20:49 when it used parts of Oracle's Java code to develop the Android operating system. Ah, that's pretty, that's a big decision. A big decision. It's been a decade. I mean, they've been fighting over this for a long time. And, you know, Oracle said Google committed an egregious act of plagiarism by using 11,500 lines of code from the Java, the Java platform.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Uh, okay. Uh, Google said, you know, it's, they're essentially the building blocks, but that's it. Oh, and most of it was under the fair use protection. Oh, okay. I have the Supreme Court decided with them, uh, ultimately six to two. Court said Google's use of code did. did fall under fair use and that if Oracle had its way, other developers could be blocked from getting the code they needed to tech innovation might slow down. Or they could just pay Oracle, but, you know, whatever. They also, the court didn't decide whether any APIs
Starting point is 00:21:56 could be protected under copyright law. Justice Stephen Breyer acknowledged that tech is changing so fast. It's best not to answer more. than is necessary. Oh, okay. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:22:13 That means a lot. And another, you know, as long as we're, you know, we're in the tech, the tech mode. Pinterest has reportedly been in talks to acquire the photo app Visco, VSCO. Wow. You know, wow, Pinterest is an amazing site. I don't know if you are on Pinterest or have an account through Pinterest, but you can and this is a sad sad state of affairs of some of our lives you go to Pinterest you know it's 45 minutes later you've been scrolling through Pinterest
Starting point is 00:22:51 looking at pictures it's just amazing it's amazing site I don't know how they I mean I guess they're selling my data right because it's the only way they're making money off of me it's not like I'm buying things on Pinterest but that's the way it goes it's kind of why I have ExpressVPN but hey that's another ad which it's not for today so the question is if an asteroid heads toward Earth
Starting point is 00:23:20 what can we do to stop it now we've seen the documentaries we've seen the documentaries of you know the way we we get rid of asteroids and I mean you know it's a movie right
Starting point is 00:23:36 and we and I joke around about documentaries, but it's just a movie. But they actually are trying to do something about it. I remember reading about this when they first started talking about it, but it's coming to fruition now, okay? They have a plan to punch an asteroid away. Okay, thanks. Well, first, you got to know that it's coming, right?
Starting point is 00:24:00 So they have a plan. The project is known as the double asteroid redirection. the DART mission. And it's been developed by NASA and John Hopkins University applied. John Hopkins University's applied physics laboratory, along with several other NASA centers. Now, what the technology involved is includes what they call the kinetic impactor, which should be able to change an asteroid's motion in space. The spacecraft is going to crash.
Starting point is 00:24:37 straight into an asteroid at the speed of about 6.6 kilometers per second. Nobody knows how fast that is. We should force it, which should force it to change the speed of its orbit. Now, it's only going to change it by a fraction of a percent, but it is enough to be observed and measured by astronomers with telescopes. Oh, okay. So the craft is going to launch in July of this year on the SpaceX. Falcon 9 rocket.
Starting point is 00:25:09 It's going to travel to its first test in this Dinnimos asteroid system, D-I-D-Y-M-O-S asteroid system. It's expected that mankind's first battle against an asteroid will take place in September 2022 when the craft arrives to the system. So now we've got the test coming up. In September of 2022, we're going to ram, I'm sorry, our kinetic, what the heck did they call it again? Their kinetic impactor into this asteroid and see if we can redirect it with our, under the double asteroid redirection test mission.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Oh, okay. I would say good luck with that. And let's hope it works. A couple things that come to mind on that. We have to for sure see that it's coming. We've had some of the asteroids fly by us where they went. We didn't really know that was common. We didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And, you know, if you remember in the documentary Armageddon, when asked, the president of the United States asks NASA if why they didn't see this coming. And the director of the NASA program played by Billy Bob Thornton, who replies it's a big ass guy and they only have so much of a budget and begging your pardon sir
Starting point is 00:26:45 it's a big ass guy so I've you know that was way back you know long time ago when that documentary was made wow how long ago was that movie made in the 90s late 90s 1998 oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:27:00 so I mean has the sky hasn't gotten any bigger has it? But maybe climate change has made the sky get bigger. But we do know that, you know, I'm sure that the budget is still the same, even with, you know, under, if we look at it, under inflation, and it's still the same big-ass guy. So we've got to be able to see the asteroids.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And then we've got to be able to launch and get it up there enough to ram into it. with our kinetic impactor technique. And we've got to hope that we change the asteroid's motion in space enough soon enough to where it doesn't hit us. Okay. All right. Good luck. God bless.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Oh, yeah. We've got news too. We've got news in Operation Varsity Blues. Yeah, baby. Oh, yeah. Tonight's episode. Yeah, tonight's episode. Operation Farsity Blues,
Starting point is 00:28:13 Mossimo, released from prison. Yeah, he got out. They let him out three weeks early. He has moved into it, and then they didn't really let him out. I mean, he's out of prison, but he's at a halfway house.
Starting point is 00:28:24 You kidding me? We couldn't just send him home. This whole thing is ridiculous. So, he's at a halfway house. He's already, you know, he's got to pay him money, right, about a huge amount of money already. He was in the midst of his five-month sentence
Starting point is 00:28:39 at the federal correctional institution in Lampag. He's been moved to a Long Beach residential re-entry management field office. Are you kidding me? That's just ridiculous. An inmate is allowed to leave the property. That's the halfway house he was transferred to through sign-out procedures for approved activities, such as seeking employment, working, counseling, visiting, or recreation purposes. Well, how about we just say?
Starting point is 00:29:09 sign him out and send him home. How about that? Okay? I know he tried to get out even earlier because they had him in solitary confinement, that we had COVID restrictions. And it was just ridiculous how they treated this man for what he did. Now, I saw, you know, we talked about it a little bit. He came across as the, as the, as the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh,
Starting point is 00:29:34 elitist in the, uh, Operation Varsity Blues documentary on Netflix. he came across a lot more elitist than Lori. Laurie was, you know, the mom. But the whole thing is just ridiculous. Anyway, Massimo is out, and he's at the halfway house. He's out of prison, and we'll see how the marriage lasts because there's no telling what will happen between Lori and Massimo once he gets out of the halfway house during the entire operation of Operation Varsity Blue.
Starting point is 00:30:09 OVB. Hey, a quick reminder that this is a chewing the fat podcast.

Starting point is 00:31:21 Facebook, Instagram, parlor, Jeff Fisher radio. So just come along. for the chewing the fat ride, will you? Okay, good. You know, the CDC, you know them, you love them. They updated their guidance from the COVID-19 transmission on contaminated surfaces or objects. Yeah, it's lower than previously estimated.
Starting point is 00:31:44 I mean, we just don't know. So they're saying, you know, this open water's fine. You don't need all that disinfectant stuff. And it doesn't need to be all the time. Yeah. Don't worry. Look, it's less than one in 10,000. It's possible for people to be infected through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects,
Starting point is 00:32:04 but the risk is genuinely considered to be low. Oh, okay. So, you know, follow CDC, state, local guidelines, wear masks, of course, good ventilation. That would be like outside. Social distancing. hand washing and cleaning surfaces, but, you know, you're fine. Don't worry about it. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:32:33 Yeah, look, we thought for sure that it might be able to remain on surfaces for up to three days, but, you know, the infection rate for those is really low. So don't worry about it. It's just hygiene theater. What? Yeah, you know all the companies and places that go around wiping everything down? I mean, you can't even pump gas anymore without having people come out and wipe down the handle, and that's fine, you know, I get it.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Okay, thank you. But, you know, I'm pretty sure that I'm outside. A, I don't need to wear a mask while I'm pumping my gas. And I'm pretty sure that, you know, washing my hands later in the day or, you know, my own disinfectant in the car that I now travel with, you know, religiously. Whenever I touch anything that's not inside my car, I have to wipe my hands, I thought that was a new law. And so, but I don't have to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:33:30 It's like one in 10,000. That's what they think. Wow. Okay. Uh, you know, we'll see. We'll see if that holds up to be true because everything that they've said changes. So be ready for that to change as well. I mean, we're hearing good news.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Are they being, it's being touted as good news for the first time, uh, in years, 2021 store openings are actually outpacing closures, according to core site research. Even as many retailers struggle to stay afloat during the pandemic, there were still more than 1,000 fewer closures in 2020 than there were in 2019. Boy, that seems a little strange. Thanks in part, too, they're saying that that's because of the stimulus measures. Okay, good. But we're talking about 80,000 retail stores.
Starting point is 00:34:26 of the 9% of total in the U.S. close their doors in 2026? Wow. And if e-commerce sales continue their upward trend, uh, hello. The category that's going to be hit the hardest. Clothing and accessory retailers are projected to close 21,000 stores by 2026. 45% of office supply stores are expected to close in the next five years.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I guess retailers in the home. Home improvement, grocery and auto parts sector are supposed to be okay from shuddering. All right. Well, we'll see. We'll see how that works out. But for sure, there's going to be other places open. That's for sure. That's why we're seeing some stores, you know, opening back up, right?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Different people. You know, we talked about that before, that, yes, all of these places were closed. We'll close. Some of it will come back. We'll see what ends up coming back. And I know that even in London, in England, we're starting to open things up
Starting point is 00:35:29 because people have had enough. And we had the prime minister, Boris Johnson, said that on Monday, April 12th, I'll be going to the pub myself and cautiously, but irreversibly, raising a pint of beer to my lips.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Okay. Nice. So they're reopening, reopening non-essential businesses next week. So yay! Good for the United Kingdom. We'll see how that works out here in the U.S. because they are fighting tooth and nail to keep things closed and keep it locked down
Starting point is 00:36:10 because we are in the winter. Boy, that's not where we're at. Mr. President and the administration, you can keep pushing your dark of winter narrative, but that's not where America is. at by any shape of the imagination. And, I mean, we had baseball opening day, and they did everything they could to talk about, you know, the super spreader event and thousands of people were gathering. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:36:39 We'll see how it goes. Hey, I had the opportunity to talk to Phala Meckler a little bit earlier today, and I'm going to air it right here. He is the grand pooh-bah of My Son Hunter movie.com. and they are, you know, crowdfunding to get this movie made. It's coming along nicely, but I really wanted to talk to him today since today is, you know, Hunter Biden book day. And we wanted to, you know, see where we're at in as far as fundraising for the movie, My Son Hunter. But you can obviously help them out. I talked about a little bit earlier in the show, My Son Hunter movie.com.
Starting point is 00:37:19 But I wanted to really talk to Phelham today. I know there was a couple of times where it seemed our connection was a little wonky since he is not here in the DFW area. He is out in California. Yes, I know. Nasty California. But great to talk to Phelham. And here is a moment with Phelham MacLean. Welcome to Chewing the Fat and welcome to Phelham McLear.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I have been looking forward to talking to you. First, I wanted to get an update on the crowd. Funding, source funding for my son Huntermovie.com, the making of the movie. I see that you're at about 20%, which is great, right? I mean, we've got people that are willing to donate a little money to get this thing made. I mean, we obviously need more. But how's it going? Good to see you.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Thanks for coming on today. Well, it's very busy. Yeah, no, we're 20%. I mean, we're open now, what, two or three weeks, two and a half weeks. And it's 600, almost 600,000. So there's thousands of people who've donated to make this happen because people really want the truth about Hunter Biden, but also they're more concerned with the truth about the Biden family corruption getting out there. And that's important to them.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And big Hollywood, don't forget, big Hollywood, big tech and big media censored this story. Actually, they didn't censored. They suppressed it. And now people want the truth out there, and that's why they want this movie made. well it was the reason i'm looking forward to talking to you today because today is a big day in the in the in the biden family world uh hunter uh his new book beautiful things uh drops today and uh you know so it's available to everyone and he's uh he said that he would do limited interviews and he did a riveting a riveting interview on 60 minutes this past weekend which was which was great because i don't know
Starting point is 00:39:25 he doesn't remember anything. So it's just, I don't remember, I don't recall. You know, it could have been aliens. It could have been anybody. The laptop story, but they've had all this time, and his answer is, I don't know. Yeah, it's kind of weird. He's going to do limited interviews.
Starting point is 00:39:43 This is a confessional memoir. How can you do limited interviews to a confessional memoir? The whole idea of a confessional member is you tell everything. Right. But you're going to do limited interviews. Look, I don't. remember, he doesn't remember if the laptop says, maybe that's correct. But
Starting point is 00:39:59 he should remember if he wrote an email saying, cut the big guy in for 10%. He should be able to complaining about having to throw money upstairs to his father. He should remember if he got an 80,000 ring from a Chinese businessman. He should remember he got $3 million
Starting point is 00:40:15 from the mayor of Moscow's wife and why he got the $3 million. Did any of that go to Joe Biden? These are things that you don't forget, I suppose. Well, I mean, look, He couldn't remember being with the mother of his child. We couldn't remember. He didn't recall that.
Starting point is 00:40:32 But we recall, you know, crawling around the carpet, smoking Parmesan cheese. We recall that. It was really a strange, strange interview. I didn't quite understand it. But I guess we're just promoing the book, right? Well, actually, I can understand it perfectly. So he's basically laundering, with the media's help, he's laundering the story. So in the future, what people say, but he got millions from the Ukrainians and he complained about cutting the big guy in for 10% and his business partner says.
Starting point is 00:41:04 The answer from the media and from Joe Biden, the same thing is this was all talked about in his book. He gives extensive interviews about it. It's a non-story. So they're laundering it. Right. They're fake. Makes sense. Sure.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I mean, that's a good move on their part, actually. for the masses. I know that you've been making, you've been making some videos around this. You know, you're sitting around doing nothing. Hey, let's make some videos. I loved going to Hunter's House, which is down the road from you on Venice.
Starting point is 00:41:38 And I saw the question and answer on the streets. How much was, I love those because as much as they hurt with people not having the information in their heads, how much of that gets edited? I mean, you know, just between us. Well, just to explain to people, I went out at the Venice Boardwalk and interviewed all the tourists.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I mean, there's a lot of tourists from all over America there, actually, and locals. And I only wanted to speak to Biden voters and asked them how they heard of Hunter. I mean, I think one of them, two of them had inherited Hunter, one of them knew there was some kind of Scamination. The West had never heard of Hunter Biden. and they thought Hunter Biden was Joe's brother. They need, oh, Hunter Biden, he must be some family member. They never heard of them.
Starting point is 00:42:27 This is what your listeners and your viewers have to realize is that, you know, an MRC to the poll, I think something like 55, 60 percent of Biden voters have never heard of Hunter Biden, never mind the scandals. And 17 percent of those voters, according to this poll, if they were explained the various scandals, and especially the 10 percent of the big guy, then they wouldn't have voted for Biden. This could have knowledge about this could change.
Starting point is 00:42:56 I could have changed the last election. This is interference in elections, not by Russia, not by China, not by Iran, but by big tech and big media. Your enemies. Right, exactly. And they most definitely have proven to be our enemies in particular within the last year, year and a half. They've shown their cards. They put them on the table. whether we do anything about it
Starting point is 00:43:20 I don't know one of the ways that we can do something about it obviously is donating to my son hunter movie.com and let's get this thing made so the truth actually is told correct? Yeah yeah well I mean I want to tell people it's not a documentary it's a movie right because
Starting point is 00:43:36 you know documentaries have an audience but it's a small enough audience not everyone wants to sit down after a hard day's work and watch documentary but they will watch a movie about you know a kind of Austin powers farce with a bit of the godfather thrown in and house of cards as well
Starting point is 00:43:53 you know so this and you know this is about a guy who claims not to remember the stripper he slept with yeah and fathered a child with you know but by the way you may not remember hunter because you may be a little under the weather but you know your father had an inauguration right when his grandchildren was there your father mentioned his grandchildren from the podium journey
Starting point is 00:44:16 the other there's only one grandkids grandchild of his not there. You know, you're terrible people, really. You know that? You're terrible people. I mean, that happened, isn't it? I mean, that child is going to know, that child is going to see that inauguration on YouTube for the rest
Starting point is 00:44:32 of his life and know that his father, the progressive father, the grandfather, the good guy, the moral center now that has descended upon Washington, St. Joe of Amtrak.
Starting point is 00:44:48 I love that. But really, you know, look, and again, to your point, Hunter said in his interview that his father and the grandfather to his children call them every night and talk to them every day. Not to this one. No, no. I call them every night. Did he say, where are you? Oh, I'm in the Ukraine. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:12 What are you doing there? I'm earning $100,000 a month on an oil and gas company, even though I've no knowledge. of oil and gas. Oh, where are you now? I owe him in China, Ernie, but you're going to be appointed a part of a billionaire fund. Did your father ever ask you why you qualify? Did your father ever ask you to kick 10% to him onto you? You must remember that. And what journalist, by the way, in the right mind would accept the ludicrous proposition? Well, okay, I don't know the laptop is mine. Well, is this email, does this email sound familiar? Because the other people CC'd on the email have said it's January.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Right. I mean, I didn't understand that at all with no pushback or at least the pushback could have been edited out. We've seen how 60 Minutes is good at that, you know, promoting the different things that they believe in or don't believe in. So, I mean, that's the whole point behind not knowing who Hunter is, right? It wasn't that they lied. It was just, we just won't talk about it. And we won't let the information get out. And that's just amazing. And that's what they're, you know, obviously what Hollywood is.
Starting point is 00:46:15 trying to do with the making of this movie, right, is suppress it and just not let it, not let people know about it. Yeah. I spoke to someone the other day about playing an actor, Hollywood actor, playing the role. And he goes, you know, I'd love to, but I want to work. I mean, he says, the person who takes the role will be the most famous actor in the world for a day or two. And then you'll never work again, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And, you know, I have kids, I need to work. and this is the atmosphere we're in now is that Hollywood will not allow this film to be made. That's why we're crowdfunding and that's why your viewers and your listeners have been so good and have stepped up so well. And we're going to make this movie. It's going to
Starting point is 00:46:58 be made and it's going to be a cracker. So how many with any information, I don't know that we've gotten new information, but we have seen different angles of the same information be reported now since you've started the idea and
Starting point is 00:47:14 the writing of this movie. How many rewrites? What's added, what's taken, what's going on? How are you coming on that? We're constantly tickering as new information comes out. And I want to say one thing.
Starting point is 00:47:25 We're actually spending a lot of our energy humanizing Hunter Biden, believe it or not. You know, not to demonize them. This is not, nobody wants to watch a movie, but if you demonize about someone or you preach about someone. We're not making a movie about Hunter Biden's flaws
Starting point is 00:47:42 because it's fun, even though it is somewhat because after a while it becomes not very funny I know someone's addictions you know uh but I suppose we're making you know so we're trying to make Hunter a human being and he most definitely is yeah he's had a tough life too right tragedy yeah then his addictions but what did his father do with his you know with his drug addict son he made him his bag man you know I mean you know
Starting point is 00:48:14 rather than say some maybe you shouldn't be going to the Ukraine or China maybe you should be sitting at home with your kids
Starting point is 00:48:21 enjoying your family life you know having a nice job at home or you know working for my campaign or some fake job like that just something to
Starting point is 00:48:28 to make sure that you're not out there in temptation world right the father says no no get out there I need my 10%
Starting point is 00:48:35 you know or my 50% or whatever be my bag man get the minute in so I can live the life I want. Pathetic, terrible.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I mean, no question. And he definitely, as during that time when Hunter was his main bag man, I mean, he needed someone close to him, Hunter, that would be able to do that, right? And not throw anything into the fire, not any wrenches into the toolbox that would make noise. And that's what Hunter was there for. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:49:06 But he was, you know, you talk about making him human. Look, the guy is like, Right? I mean, sure, who doesn't want to smoke a little crack with Hunter? I mean, who among us? But, I mean, he's definitely a likable guy, but we've talked, and I know that, I know that you know this, and probably, you know, my audience does because I've talked a lot about the Hunter Biden trials and tribulations. But, I mean, that struggle of I'm not Bo has been, has been with him almost forever, right? And he just wasn't was never Bo will never be Bo no matter what. So he just ended up being, as you put it, the bag man.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yeah. You know, he was the Prince Harry of that family, you know. Yes. You know, and I speak of people who spoke to people who were college with them and all that. And, you know, he was not Bo. Bo was the golden child. Bo did you know wrong. He always seemed to mess up.
Starting point is 00:50:05 He had these eviction issues from early. And life was tougher on him. in many ways because of that. And, you know, what did Joe Biden do? How did he respond to that? He made him as bag, man. Shame on him. And how did Joe respond?
Starting point is 00:50:20 How did he behave? He disowned his hunter's son from the podium, watched by hundreds of millions of people. It's, you know, Joe, Joe's not a nice guy. And Joe needs, the truth about Joe needs to be exposed, not because he's not a nice guy, but because there's a deep stench of corruption. foreign corruption too, emanating around the Biden family. And it goes right to the very top. And we're going to have a lot of fun making this movie.
Starting point is 00:50:49 It's going to be with actors. It's going to be funny. It's going to be emotional. It's going to be sad. It's going to be happy. It's going to be ridiculous. It's going to be Austin Powers meets King Lear. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:51:00 And your viewers and listeners know that. And that's why they've been so responsive and helping get it made. Well, I personally am really looking forward to it. So let's get this thing made. Let's go start tomorrow. Phelam, let's go, hop to it. Just go to my sonhuntermovie.com, my sonhuntermovie.com and donate, obviously, what you can.
