We have the crazy Hunter Biden story and how many barrels of oil we were sending to his business associates from our strategic oil reserve. What an incredible story. That is the continuing failure of Corinne Jean-Pierre as spokesperson for Joe Biden, which is really what she is. she's not really press secretary. We have the awful, awful story that happened overnight with Shinso Abe being assassinated in broad daylight while giving a speech in Japan. We'll have the latest details on that.

And of course, Stu does America as well. We appreciate it. Here's the podcast. You're listening to. Real tragedy in Japan today as their former prime minister, Abe, was just assassinated.

by somebody who was, I guess, dissatisfied with his policies? He's not even enacting them anymore. Very strange. There's some back and forth about that. Apparently, the assassin is denying that. He seems to be potentially very crazy. Okay.

So he's not dissatisfied with his policies. No, big fan. He's fine with him. No, I didn't say that. But he did say, I think there were Reese reports that he, he said to police that he didn't mean to shoot him. What? Yeah, he was actually trying to kill somebody else who, we should point out, was not there.

Okay. So, I think it's very weird. I think dismissing what this person is saying at this point is probably the wise way to go. Former a Navy veteran in Japan, and he killed him with a homemade gun. Yeah. It looked like two pipes on a plank. Yeah. Which is crazy.

Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. It just shows you. that no matter what you do, you can't legislate this stuff out of existence. Now, I've never really looked into Japan's gun laws. I'm assuming they're sort of strict. I could walk you through it. Okay. Would you like to purchase a gun in Japan, sir?

Yes, I would. You would. Just a couple steps for you. Okay. Now, I've never been there, nor will I probably ever go, but I still like to buy a gun there. I always say really suspicious that you want to buy a gun there. It is, isn't it? Yes. Yeah, you might want to tag me. do a little red flag sort of thing. Yeah, right? Because I have a person who has never been to Japan, is not planning to go to Japan, but wants to buy a gun in Japan.

This seems suspicious. It does. It does. Okay. So I've red flagged you. Okay. Here's the process, though. Are you ready for it?

Yes, I am. Okay. Step one. Take a firearm class. Not that big of a deal. How long is it? How long is a firearm class? I don't know.

But there's more to this. You have to also pass a written exam. Okay. From the firearm? class? Yes. So I better pay attention to what I'm learning in the class. You can't just blow it off.

I can't just sit there and pretend like I'm listening. I really need to listen. And step one C, I guess this would be. It's going to be held three times a year. So you're going to be taking this test three times a year. For how long? Like every year? Forever.

Like the rest of my life. You're taking a test. Three times a year. Okay. Now, that seems inconvenient. for me. I am going to have to request something else though. It's not just that. Oh, okay. We're going to have to ask you, Pat, to also get a doctor's note saying that you are mentally fit and do not have a history of drug abuse. Now, this is the end of the road for you. Obviously,

you're a huge drug abuser. Yeah. So, coke, tooth, nose candy. But you can probably find a doctor that would go along with your story. Possibly. Possibly. Okay. So let's just say you could. Okay. There's more though to the process. I don't know if there's a Japanese doctor who would find me mentally competent. But let's just go with it and say I define somebody. My guess is Jeffie has a connection. I don't know how. He probably knows a doctor in Japan that will lies for you. So that's just step two. Step three, you have to apply for a permit to take firing training, which may take up to about a month. Huh. And I'm just sure that's the firing training that takes a month or the permit that takes a month, but it's going to take a little bit of time for you to

get that step done. But that's not too arduous so far, right? You got a test three times a month or three times a year. Right. You have to get a doctor's note and you have to just apply for a permit to take the firing training, which may take a month. There's also, you have to describe in a police interview why you need a gun. So what if I just need it for safety? I'm trying to protect myself. I mean, is that not good enough? It is not good enough. In fact, generally speaking, unless you go through this entire process, they're not going to give you a gun. You might be able to get one to hunt or something like that, but you have to go through this whole process and it's a bit arduous, as you can say.

You also have to pass a review of your criminal history, your gun possession record, employment, involvement with organized crime groups. This one's going to be a little ify for you because I know you have some serious involvement in that area. Hulgely tied into criminal elements. Yes. They have to review. Especially in Japan.

Yeah. Yes. It's true. You also have to. pass a review of your personal debt. Oh. You have to pass a review of your relationships with friends. Okay.

Your relationship with your family and your relationship with neighbors. How well do you get along with your neighbors? I know you get really along well with your HOA. Oh, I do. Yeah. Love them. They are big fans of yours. I mean, with the exception of that, by that time you left the garbage out. Yes, for three hours.

Pass the deadline. Past the deadline. Yeah. So, I mean, you would not be getting a gun in Japan. No, I would not. Because of the garbage incident. Okay. So, but we'll see.

Then you have to apply for a gunpowder permit. Like a gunpowder permit? Yeah, totally different permit, Pat. You need a gunpowder permit. Okay. Then you have to take a one-day training class and pass a firing test. So. And then you have to obtain a certificate.

from a gun dealer describing the gun that you want. Again, this is not that bad so far. No, so far it seems really convenient. So that's not too bad. Oh, yeah. Then you have to, if you want a gun for hunting, you have to apply for a hunting license. Now, this is pretty much the only way they're going to grant you a license,

so you do have to get the hunting license. All right. Then you have to buy a gun safe. Then you have to buy an ammunition locker, both of which have to meet safety regulations. But you're doing well so far. There is no way anybody has a gun in Japan. Then you have to allow the police to inspect your gun storage.

So police come over to your house and I mean. Okay. And inspect it all. Then I get my gun. I get my AR-15 and I can do what I want with it. Definitely not. Definitely not. Huh.

Then you have to pass an additional background review. of some sort, finally you get to buy your gun. Now again, it's only going to be a gun that you're going to be able to use for hunting essentially. But that is the process in Japan.

And you see this and you think, okay, well, that has to stop something like this from happening. If laws can possibly stop this from happening, those laws would stop this from happening. And yet, instead he makes a homemade gun

and he doesn't go through any of the process. And I didn't outline this, but I'm almost positive. Ghost guns are illegal in Japan. So, yeah, I mean, now look, people will point out, and by the way, the media is doing everything they can to make you know that gun crime is rare in Japan. And that's true. It is very rare in Japan. They don't really allow guns for any reason.

And so it is very rare. Of course, you know, they have a much higher suicide rate than us because it's, it's, you know, it's. It's not about the gun, right? You know, they have almost no guns in the country, and their suicide rate is higher than ours. So it's not about the gun, but you do see this terrible thing going on, go on with Shinsou Abe. The guy who made the gun out of, as you point out, as you point out, a couple of pipes and a plank. Now, I don't know. Can you ban pipes?

Can you ban planks? Would that do anything for this problem? It's hard to imagine. I don't know how you could make this. These have to take a pipe class three times a year and then pass the pipe class test. Just the three times a year? Yeah, just three times. Maybe six.

Maybe we up it a little bit for pipes. So you think double it on the pipes? I think so. Well, he had two pipes. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it really is fascinating to watch that. I mean, there's nothing.

You just realize at some level, we all do this. We must just trust other people we don't know to not be insane. To not be violent, to not be crazy. I think of this example often in that you're driving down the street. You are driving 50 miles an hour on the right side, right hand side of the road. On the left hand side of the road, a car approaches you also going 50 miles an hour. In between you is a double yellow line. Your entire life is in the hands of this person that you will.

never even see driving at you, 50 miles an hour, that they don't just swerve into you as you get close. You were just sitting here, just trusting the goodwill of a complete stranger and the deterrent power of a double yellow line to protect your life. And we do this every day, and we all pretty much survive it. And that is really the best defense against this. That is really all you can do. When evil decides evil is going to act, It is really, really difficult to stop it. You know, you just have to realize that it does exist. You can do everything you can to stop it.

But, I mean, this is a guy who's the former prime minister of the country, the guy who held the office longer than anyone else in history. Yeah. A very... Nine years. Very prominent figure making a campaign speech. And some guy just walks up behind him and shoots him in the back a couple times. Yeah.

Incredible. Really, really bad. In front of hundreds of people. people and tons of cell phones. There's all sorts of disturbing video and still images of all the stuff going on. And right in the middle of broad daylight, Pat. Yeah. It's interesting because there doesn't seem to be a heck of a lot of security around him.

No. There were only, I think, a few guys. Now, the guy was immediately tackled after he shot Abe. But I think the point of security is to try to get to somebody, before they shoot. But, you know, you're just, you're not expecting somebody with a homemade gun. Two pipes in a plank

and being able to fire that and kill the former prime minister. Just amazing. But I did wonder, you know, why don't they have more security around the guy when he's out in public, right out in the open, making a speech, a campaign speech? It's pretty weird.

It's pretty strange. I don't know. I guess at that point, you're just depending on your gun laws. Yeah, you are. You're just saying, well, we don't need security because we banned guns. It didn't work out all that well in this case. No, it didn't. You know, there's not much you can do now, but I mean, you can look at this and say,

hey, you know, any world, I'm like, I mean, and this just seems like obvious common sense. Any world leader should have security around them. They're making speeches in public. You can't tell what's going to happen. There's a million ways someone can do something crazy. and we went through that obviously terrible period where this was commonplace. I mean, this was happening all the time here with major world leaders in the 60s and all the way up to really Reagan, where this stuff happened often to major public figures.

And that's one of the things we've talked about when it comes to these mass shootings. Societies and cultures seem to select these crimes of spectacle. Whatever the, for right now, for us, it's these mass shootings, right? it's not the biggest crime problem we have in this country by any means it's it's a small small slice of the gun violence and total violence and total crime in this country but like there's this very small group of people who think fame and notoriety and infamy will come to them from doing these types of things and it's hard to know right now what happened in japan if that's the beginning of this or or whatever but if you look back at our history we went through this

a period where that was the crime of spectacle, right? There was always somebody who, there was threats on major public figures' lives over and over and over and over again, many of them successful. Yeah. I mean, the 60s were awful. So bad. For assassination. You think about that decade with the JFK, RFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, I mean, it just

happened over and over and over again. And it's really hard to preface. prevent everything like that. All of these shootings and protect everybody who needs protection. It's impossible. It's really impossible to completely safeguard our society. And even in a place, as you just went through, with the restrictions on guns like they have in Japan, you still can't safeguard everybody. That tells you a lot. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Okay, so the strategic oil reserve, it's called that because it's supposed to be strategic.

And it's in reserve. And it's in reserve for, say, the U.S. military. Like we're having a shortage of oil. And so if we're in the middle of a war, what would you do? You run out of oil, your tanks, grain to a halt, all your vehicles stop. Well, that's where the oil reserve comes in. That's why we have 750 million barrels on reserve so that you could use it for, the military to keep it going.

I'm just going to question your use of the word have. I used to have. We had. We had 750 million barrels. Right now, I think it's under 300. Yeah. I think it's like 250. More than half. Almost two thirds is gone. If you just... But the good thing was it all went to

American motorists. It went directly to the pumps here in the United States of America so that people could you could lower the price of what you're paying every gallon here at the pump and man it just went right to give provide a relief to the American people

I think the feeling Americans would describe when talking about the last few months at the pump would be relief. They just feel like wow this has been what an incredible relief to come to this pump right now and pay 501 a gallon instead of 502 or 503 a gallon. I will say

though. I just went to the pump yesterday. Now, the time before this, it was $120 to fill my tank. Yesterday it was only, only $99.25. I only paid $99. It's a miracle. Wow. It has come down a little bit.

It's actually, I believe the average price now is 480. It was 502 was the peak and now we're down to 480, which is unthinkable. 480 is a terrible, terrible, terrible price. Because it was when the election took place, I believe it was a $1.87. I think when he left office, it was,

was it $2.36 or something to that effect? Unbelievable. It was really low. And that's, that's normal. I don't even think of that as low. It's, that's normal. Yeah. You know, but this is not, this is abnormal.

Very. That's what this is. Very. And it's unsustainable. We should also point out the, just wait, mark my words, when the inflation report comes out, either this month or next month. and the drop in gas prices is factored in, and inflation looks like it's come down a little bit,

mark my words, they will take credit for that. Oh, you bet they will. And they will say, oh, it's all because of our amazing policies. Now, of course, the real reason here is largely due to the fears of global recession. So it's actually, his policies are so bad that people are terrified. And so demand is being played with. Even the supply chain is not enough to hold up this dynamic. And so we're getting to that point now where people are freaking out about the economy.

When that happens, gas prices are going to start coming down. You know, again, there's good things. And that's obviously a good side effect of economic worry, I suppose. But I don't think that's a, that's not a path to economic success. Terrify everybody over constant recession, maybe depression. And they'll stop buying stuff is not a great way to stop inflation. And it is sort of one of those things that seems to be the only approach they have. Their approach seems to be, what if we come up with the worst ideas possible and everyone loses confidence and then the economy crashes.

That should cure inflation. Yes, it should. It will. That will cure that part of the economy. Really quickly. We did have a job report come out today. which was, as you might imagine, still, you know, good. You'd say, you know, pretty good.

I mean, this is, of course, they're trying to slow this down at this point. I mean, when they're raising these rates, they're trying to slow down the job growth because they think it's out of control because people are, you know, the markets and the economy is overheated. That's essentially the problem and why we have all this inflation. And they're like bragging about this. They're like, well, the wages went up 5%. Well, yeah, but when inflation's up 10.

most people are not going to cheer you on when it comes to a 5% raise. And most people, of course, are not getting that 5% raise either. So it's a difficult thing for them to navigate. But back to the Strategic Oil Reserve here, they did. Now, not every single gallon of oil is going to go to American consumers. I mean, come on. How can you even keep track of it, first of all? some of it's just going to,

you're just going to spill it. You're going to spill it on the ground. Really? Yeah. Sometimes you just kind of. Oops. Yeah, exactly. Like if you ever been to an office water cooler,

there's always a little puddle of water on the ground. Somebody spilled a little bit. That happens with the oil. That's a strategic oil reserve. You go there to fill it up to give the American consumers, some's going to spill on the ground. Okay. Okay.

Some, you know, may go to some of our close allies, you know? Like, you know, like everyone like such. Much as...

Like China, for example. China. Some of our really... People we work with so closely and have done so many good things for the world. Have you heard of COVID-19? I have. They did that for us.

Oh, wow. Yeah. They were... Wow. That's been very prevalent. Yeah. Almost everywhere. It's been a gift that keeps on giving for multiple years now.

And that's thanks to the Chinese government who didn't really kind of tell anybody about it for a while. And let it kind of rage out of control. Maybe leaked out of their labs. So that's a real positive they've done for the world. And, you know, there's other things too. You know, we don't have time to get into all of them. Well, you know. Sweet and sour chicken.

Is it a contribution for the Chinese? Yeah. I don't know if there was a real general sow or not. Delicious. They're on that bandwagon pretty well. Yeah. You've got the you've got the Great Leap Forward. Yes.

Which is a really great title. Uh-huh. For a movement. They, you know, it had some negative side effects to it. A few. Cultural revolution. Wow. What an incredible.

A revolution of culture. Yeah. You know, you can't beat that. You know, had against a couple of negative side effects. It could be maybe tens of millions of negative side effects. But it was, again, something that we all were affected by. So as a reward, we just, we sent some. A little bit.

A little bit. Oil over to them. A couple barrels. Like how many? How many barrels wound up? A few more than we spilled, you know, because you just spilled a couple drops here and there. A couple barrels got over there, you know,

something like 950,000 barrels, you know. But just the 950,000. And that's not all that went to China, of course, but that did go to the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. And that's, you know, that's probably a gift to them, you know, for all the things they've done for us and continue to do for us on a daily basis. You know, do you ever have a computer problem? You got a computer problem.

You go to the Apple genius or the IT person and they'll come in, they'll log into your computer and you can kind of see them moving the mouse around and they'll click on stuff and they'll say, hey, this is what you need to do. They're logging into our computers all the time. that is true helping us out the chinese you know log into our computers who knows how many problems on on your computer they've fixed you know how must say here's another one they've done for us tick to tick to right where would people go to lip sync to random audio i don't know and what do we do for them in return sure we set them the 950 000 barrels of oil and we give them all of our personal location information so that they can study it you know but that's a minor a minor a minor thing and we are agreeing to that.

So you can't say that that's really, you know, that's not a fair deal. We need to give them more and that's why we gave them this oil. So anyway, the Biden administration claimed the move would help address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump and help lower

energy costs? But then 950,000 barrels went to China. So I'm not sure how that would happen. More than 5 million barrels of oil released from the U.S. emergency reserves were sent overseas. According to Reuters report that came out Wednesday. At least one shipment of American crude oil

went to China. The report said the Biden administration also claimed the company Unipak, the sale, would support American consumers and the global economy in response to Vladimir Putin's war of choice against Ukraine and combat the Putin price hike.

I'd like to call it the tax increase now. It's the Putin tax increase. That's what they're calling it? Yeah. Not the price hike anymore? No, it's not the price hike anymore. It's the Putin tax increase. Now, there's an issue with this particular issue in that this company is one of the companies that was tied to Hunter Biden. So unbelievable. It's kind of a problem. Power the future founder Daniel Turner admonished Biden for selling, quote, raw materials to the communist Chinese for them to use as they want.

We were assured Biden was releasing this. oil to America so that it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the pump. So right off the bat, they're just lying to the American people. Turner told the Washington Free Beacon. What they're saying they did and what they did are not remotely related. Turner also said the decision highlights the Biden's family relationship with China. Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is tied to Sinopac, which is one of these companies. In 2015, a private equity firm, he co-founded, bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopac marketing. Sinopec went on to enter negotiations to purchase gas prom in March one month after the Biden administration sanctioned the Russian gas giant.

So the company that Hunter Biden worked directly with was the company Joe Biden sent 950,000 barrels of oil to. But other than that, you should be happy with this administration because everything else is going well. everything Remember, it's just a Hunter Biden story. He's a guy that's out of control, Pat. Well, and Joe doesn't even know anything about his business dealings. He's never even disgusted with his son. No.

He doesn't even know where the guy worked. He was gone for years at a time overseas and he didn't even know where he was. Now, sure, did they just catch him leaving a voicemail about his business interest? Yes. Yes, they do. Yes, but that was a guess. How many times have you called somebody up and said, hey, let me guess about several specific details of your life on your voicemail. That is one of those things that moms and dads do all the time.

Wow. This is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. I keep saying that word and it must not mean what I think it means because it keeps happening over and over again. I can't wait till Peter Ducey asks KJP about that specific instance. Is that what we're calling her? KJP. Yeah.

Because you're not calling her Corinjean Jolp. No, I'm not. No. KJP. It takes too long to say and she's not worth it. No. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Stu, what are your thoughts on UFOs?

Do you believe that they're from another planet? Do you think they're from this planet? They're just high tech we don't know about. It's secret military stuff. Or is it from somewhere else? I don't spend an awful lot of time thinking about this. particular topic, but I tend to land on the side of probably some

military tech we don't know about. That's kind of where I usually end up to. Yeah. Yeah. But according to this story, they're so prevalent that I don't know, they're crowding our skies with so many UFOs. In April 2014, four naval aviators

narrowly escaped disaster. Just as they entered highly controlled airspace for a training exercise, they're two FAA 18F fighter jets nearly collided with a UFO. To the frustration of dozens of their fellow aviators, such a near catastrophe was inevitable. For months before and after, air crews flying in exclusive use training areas off the U.S. East Coast, frequently observed, unknown objects, exhibiting highly anomalous flight characteristics. Despite the collision hazard posed by the UFOs, aviators lacked a formal me.

to report the mysterious objects. Apparently, they couldn't report it to the Pentagon so they, you know, their frustration level rose because it's a big problem to them. And what I had heard up until recently was that they'd never fired on them, but apparently they have fired on them. I don't think they've ever hit anything. So it's a, it's a really strange problem. In one UFO incident, an aviator reported that he had never seen anything like this before. in another encounter an aviator noticed an object with flight characteristics

unlike anything I had ever seen in my redacted years of redacted service. Implying a particular anomalous encounter. Yet another pilot's report states that she had never seen redacted like it. Are these redacting the swears?

It feels like all these are just swears. I don't know. Go back and read that and think about that. What could this be? here. She had never seen redacted like it. So could that be, she'd never seen anything like it? Why do you have to redact the word

anything? I think it might have been a swear. I'd never seen S like this. Okay, probably yes. You think? They're not supposed to be redacting swears of government documents, are they? I don't, I don't know. Maybe they don't like people to think that they're naval aviators swear. Yeah, because swearing

never happens in the military. If there's one thing we know about the military, never any naughty words used. The UFO did not change position like an aircraft would And it was too high to be a ship I thought you didn't redact something there for a good part of that word ship I was like oh no that's supposed to be redacted Pat No

For fighter pilots armed with an array of advanced Censors the confusion and bewilderment reflected in the reports is striking One aviator have had a difficult time explaining The redacted in another incident, a pilot could only describe a UFO in a puzzled voice over the radio. Yet another aviator described a UFO that appeared as odd as it sounds to be redacted. So this is what I knew was going to happen when they released this report. Everything interesting was going to be redacted.

And we're going to find out nothing about this ever. So I don't know. You know, what are you protecting us from? I think they're protecting the military secrets. that's what I think they're doing. I think so, but I mean, who else? I hope so. Because if it's China or Russia, then we're in real trouble.

And if it's China or Russia, you would think they would have already done whatever it is they're going to do with this new tech, right? Yeah, I mean, like, and really they're going to risk this stuff being seen. And a lot of this stuff happened over the United States or close to the United States. Like, that would not be the way. It just doesn't seem plausible. They'd be testing it in their own territory. Right. So this is obviously either from a. another planet, which I highly doubt.

Or it's, you know, secret tech that we have that they don't want anybody to know about yet. So that's what I hope it is, because that bodes well for us. I hope so. Man, I hope so. I used to definitely believe this. You know who threw me on that? Because I used to believe even Democratic presidents would be, would have serious interest in making sure our defense was developing the best technology.

in case we needed to use it. And we might disagree with them and when they would use it or how they would use it. Or maybe we would want them to use it and they didn't use it. But we were all on the same page that we wanted to have the best stuff, right? Like that's pretty clear. Yes. No, no, no, it's not. Listen to the words of Obama.

I mean, they specifically went out and criticized the idea of just developing better weapons. They didn't want to develop them. They outwardly told the American people, and much more importantly, our adversaries around the globe, that we didn't want to develop any new weapons. How does that make any sense? That doesn't make any sense. I guess the theory being like, if we tell them we're not going to develop new weapons,

then they won't develop new weapons. Right. Right. Yeah, that's how this works? I mean, how naive do you have to be to believe that? Okay, if we just stop, if we unilaterally stop developing things, you think the Russians and Chinese would follow suit?

No. Not in a million years. Nope. There's absolutely no way, and they've proved, that over and over and over and over. Now, hopefully, the only defense of this is you just hope Obama was lying. Yeah. You know, I mean,

maybe he was. Maybe their military was still doing these things. And just, I mean, again, we hope we never have to use any of them. But you better have them in case you need them. Clearly. And they were talking about these, like, you know, the hypersonic missiles and such that

were rumored to be used by, that China has, and Russia was claiming they were using, even though there's been some questions about that. But China has them seemingly for sure. And the military experts, the people who are watching this stuff every day, many of them with former military experience, are saying that they're way ahead of us on this stuff. We don't have any defenses for it. And they are way ahead of development of these weapons, which follows exactly to... Seems impossible to believe. It seems exactly what Obama advocated for.

All the tech that they do have has been stolen from us. I know, but, you know, they stole a bunch from us and then they advanced it. Who knows? Who knows how they're doing it? That would suck if that's true. Yeah, if that's true, that's really, really bad. And it can only happen when you have people who are ideologically committed to the United States not being the global superpower. And we know, I mean, Obama, you know, Biden is committed to, God only knows what. I mean, I don't know that he has any values at all.

We just know he's terrible at his job. Oh, well, Mitt Romney said he's a genuinely. Good human being, which I genuinely don't believe. No. No, he's really, I mean, like, I- He's not. He's despicable. He lies every single day.

He seems to have some sort of ethic, Biden. Like, to the point, like, I think his actions with Hunter Biden are interesting to me, because he does seem to have that ethic of defending his family. Yeah, I think he has that. And that's not a good, it's not a good ethic when your family is committing crimes. That's not something to be admired when your family. when your family is committing crimes and but it also could very well

just be he likes the money that Hunter brings in the 10% for the big guy you know yeah it might just be that it might just be that he sees the downfall of his own presidency if the Hunter Biden stuff comes out so he defends him that way but when you

hear the text messages and stuff that's come out from from the laptop it really gives you the it does give you the feeling of an empathetic father who's just absolutely has no idea how to help his kid. Yeah, it does. And I think that's part of it with Joe Biden.

I mean, he realizes his son is a, is a catastrophe on the level only measured by Joe Biden's presidency. The life of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's presidency are equally terrible things. But, you know, I'm sure that would rip a father apart. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. And of course, he's done. When your son is an absolute douchebag. Yeah.

Who's, you know, cheating on his wife with Hooker. and strippers and all of that stuff and doing drugs on a regular basis and ignoring children that he's had with other women with other strippers and I mean there is so much there with Hunter Biden and it's not to say that I'm not arguing

that Joe Biden's a good dad for doing that I mean it's a terrible thing your kid what he was doing with his son at least according to these text messages his kid would have no money because he blows it all on cocaine and hookers and then comes...

He blows his money almost as fast as his dad blows taxpayer money. Yes. So... So, Hunter blows all of his money on cocaine and hookers and then says,

okay, dad, I'm finally okay, manipulating his father, I think, and saying, okay, I'm going to go, I'm going to go back and I'm going to go to rehab now, daddy. And, but I'm just a little short on money. Can you please help me? And stupid Joe Biden

sends him tens of thousands of dollars. which he then spends on more hookers and does not go to rehab. Yeah. Now, that's not a, that's not a, it might be a father who really does want to help, but is completely naive and failing at that. It could be, that could be the story there. Can't give him the tough love he needs. No, I think that's quite clear.

Yeah. You know, and his life has been a disaster, you know, mostly from his own doing, but his dad has not helped. And I would think that it would be kind of a problem within the family of Hunter hooking up with his dead brother's wife, widow. That seems like a sleazy kind of move there. It's one of the strangest things I've ever heard in my entire life. Yeah, it's weird.

And sadly, it was his daughter that discovered it apparently and then told the mother, and that's how she found out. And they made a statement at the time. It was like, you know, it's been a complicated time. It was like, it was not like, I can't believe my son is doing it. this he's out of control. It was like, you know, it's been a complicated time. And they're finding their peace in a certain way. And we, we think, we ask for privacy in this time. You know, it was not, it wasn't a full-throated endorsement, I wouldn't say, of the relationship, but it was not,

I mean, how, you know, I can't even imagine. You go through a terrible situation where your son dies, he's married to someone. And then your other son starts hooking up with her. I mean, like, that is like, uncool. Oh, no. That is an understatement. That is an understatement. Yeah. Right there. That's not cool. I mean, that's similar to the Gavin Newsom thing, right?

Like you, it's one thing for the guy you're working for, this political leader, to be having an affair. Mm-hmm. But then when it's your wife that he's sleeping with, you get a little more upset, you know? Yeah. And that's what happened with Gavin Newsom when he slept with his best friend's wife and his political advisor's wife. But again, none of these things matter to Democrats. So it's perfectly fine. None of it matters.

I mean, don't even worry about it. That's their personal life. That doesn't mean they can't govern. Oh, okay. All right. But, I mean, look at what we covered the story before. He has this relationship where he's constantly funneling money to Hunter Biden and seemingly getting it from his business.

And a lot of money. A lot of money. In the case you're talking about it, it was like $50,000 over like a couple of weeks. 50 grand. It's a lot. Yeah. And where are you getting that? I thought you were just this humble middle class lunch box guy.

Middle class Joe who was making, you know, top 5% earnings in the country for the past 40 years. Just middle class Joe. Right. That's all. Because everyone's like, oh, well, he just was a senator. Yeah, well, he's making basically, you know, executive corporate money for his. I mean, that's a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. And there's more than that coming in.

A lot. Oh, yeah. And we know what there's a lot more than that. He's one made millions off of his book deals and all the other shady things he's been up to. And his son's shady deals in the Ukraine and China. And you know Hunter has information that if utilized would destroy Joe Biden's presidency. Yeah. If the media listened to it.

Now, they would just immediately dismiss Hunter Biden as a crack addict and try to brush it off. But we know Hunter does know enough about this to do severe damage to his dad. So really, you know, Joe Biden is incentivized to try to help him. I mean, this could very well be why 950,000 barrels. of oil went to a company that Hunter Biden was working with. It very well could. This is why you don't allow these things to happen. You can't have, you can't be compromised like this. That's the problem. So we don't know the results of those things, but we know that Biden is doing a terrible job, and many of his decisions don't make sense to people that think rationally. And a lot of it,

I think he gets excused because he looks incoherent and looks like a person who should be in a nursing home immediately. And so people brush those things off. But all these explained actions, you wonder how many of them are to cover

for previous activities that would be questionable if seen by the public. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think the number is zero. No, it's not.

When it comes to those explanations.
