It's the Will Kane podcast on Fox News Podcast. What's up? and welcome to Wednesday. As always, I hope you will, download rate and review this podcast wherever you get your audio entertainment at Apple, Spotify, or at Fox News Podcasts. It has begun, and I am tired. One year ago, when it sounded so far away, I promised a bunch of Navy SEALs that I would swim with them from the Statue of Liberty, to Manhattan approximately three miles honoring the lost seals and soldiers in the wars that followed 9-11 the swim apparently goes with and against currents it can help where it can hurt and you can

wear fins but three miles is a long way in open water i told you in the past that i did an open water swim with my buddies some 10 years ago from Lanai to Maui. It's about nine miles from island to island. And we did it as a relay, six guys rotating 30 minute stretches and then 10 minutes stretches after your first turn. If you break that up evenly, it means we each would have swam about a mile and a half. And it was hard. Open water is not swimming in a pool. So I'm nervous about swimming three miles from the Statue of Liberty to Manhattan. But the training has now begun and I'm tired. I've now put in three workouts in the pool and I have forgotten how much swimming empties the tank. You know, I'm not even doing that much yardage yet. I'm doing over under 2,000 yards

with a master swim team. So I'm pushing it. I'm doing some sets. I'm doing some 100, some 75, some 50s. And anybody that's ever swam knows that's an easy workout. But I have been taking it easy. I haven't been in the water in five years. And don't tell Pete Hegsseth, but I'm back in the water now.

Hegset has promised to do this swim with me as well. And I shouldn't be holding out on Heg Seth because he didn't grow up swimming. So I respect his willingness, and he's already done it twice, to jump in to the Hudson and swim with the seals. But I don't know how Hegset did it as a non-swimmer training in the backyard in his pool. I don't know how – there's a lot of muscle memory for me. I mean, I jump in the pool, and at first it feels weird, and I have no endurance, but at least I remember. I remember efficiency, you know? I remember stroke.

It's got to be hard as an adult who didn't really swim. him competitively to just take off for three miles. The first year that he did it, by the way, he did get rescued by the seals and get pulled along on a jet ski. But I believe the second year that he did it, he did the whole thing. And by the way, it's broken up into a few intervals. You stop, I don't know, Governor's Island, do some push-ups, do some pull-ups, which just further empties the tank and your lats to pull off this swim.

But here I am training at 2,000 yards, not a day, but a couple of times a week. And afterwards, I'm zapped, man. I mean, I am tired. Tank on E. I went to the fridge, and it's like I had lost all coordination. I dumped a little tub of feta cheese out of the fridge, just moving things around, clumsy. And feta cheese stinks to spill all over the place. I mean, literally stinks, but figuratively, it scatters.

And it doesn't sweep easy. And you can't just say to the dog, it didn't feel right to say the dog, hey, have a bunch of feta. And then on top of that, then I spilled my lunch rice all over the floor. Also, not easy to clean. It sort of resists the broom. On that one, at least, I could tell the dog to get after the rice. So it just has taken everything out of me, including my coordination. it's uh i've got two months i got two months the swim is mid-august with the seals and i've got to get

after it i'll be traveling a lot off and on back and forth to new york and other places during that time i won't always be able to get in the pool multiple times a week so i'm a little worried about where this is going to end up plus you know vanity national television you know it's not like i'm going to wear a wetsuit so i got to get after it and right now getting after it means it pretty much takes over and empties the tank for my entire day story number one what aboutism yeah damn right it's about what aboutism the world breathlessly covers the 37 counts on donald trump while ignoring the 17 tapes on joe biden yesterday donald trump entered a not guilty plea in a court in Miami, Florida, on 37 counts of mishandling, willfully,

mishandling classified documents, obstructing justice, defying federal authorities on attempts to recover classified documents. It was a scene in Miami. Crowd shut up in support of Donald Trump. Afterwards, he went to a cafe, bought lunch, bought food for everybody in the cafe. network after network breathless coverage of the case against Donald Trump. You know, I heard several commentators, even Fox News' own Juan Williams, push back on any conversation about the Bidens or the Clintons with that's nothing but what aboutism. What aboutism isom is the idea that you have engaged in a deflection. You're not addressing the,

merits of the case. You're attempting to say, oh, yeah, well, he did it too. And from a moral premise, from a premise of right and wrong, from a personal judgment or condemnation perspective, what aboutism doesn't work? It's not very persuasive. If you walk in and your child has his hands in the proverbial cookie jar, it doesn't do much for him to say, my brother took a cookie as well. You could be guilty, but so is he. That doesn't make you innocent. Two wrongs do not make a right. It simply makes you both guilty. As we've laid out in the last episode of the Will Cain podcast, it looks like Donald Trump did have his hands in the cookie jar. If, and we haven't yet heard, his defense, but if the evidence laid out in the indictment is compelling and true, more

importantly true, that there are audio tapes of Donald Trump saying, this is not declassified and never declassified this. It's secret. Take a look. Then Donald Trump's hand has been caught in the cookie jar, and he could very well be looking at a guilty verdict on at least some of these 37 counts. But that does not mean we should ignore what aboutism. In fact, what aboutism ism is actually more important than the evidence in the case. In this case, what aboutism is the most important issue when you catch someone with their hands in the cookie jar. Why? Because we're talking about the legal process. And the legal process is predicated on precedent. How do we handle these issues in the past? Court cases rely on the way that court cases were decided in the past. Application

of the law is predicated upon how we applied the law in the the past and precedent, a legal term for what aboutism, as we walked through in the last episode the Will Kane podcast, takes you down the path that if Donald Trump's hand was caught in the cookie jar, so what, we don't prosecute, we don't pursue, we certainly don't vigorously press charges against people taking a cookie. In the worst of incidences, General David Petraeus, or former NSA advisor Sandy Berger, were found guilty. Will of absconding with and sharing classified documents. They received two years probation, community service, restitution.

In other cases, the evidence of classified documents being handled misappropriately and not voluntarily turned over, as it's like to be described, when it comes to former Vice President Mike Pence or sitting president, then Vice President, Joe Biden, there's not even an investigation into the case. Ah, well, who cares? Enjoy the cookie. We didn't even pursue an investigation, much less an indictment, much less an arrest, must less a charge against Pence or Biden. And if, for some reason, Donald Trump has become a big asterisk, a caveat, a big bad boogeyman in our collective or your personal,

mind, and you can't possibly see the correlation between these cases. Oh, Pence gave them up the minute they were asked for, despite the fact that he never gave him up before they were asked for. Trump obstructed justice. If that's too dissimilar, then right on the nose is former Secretary of State and Senator of New York, Hillary Clinton, who had 193 more documents than Donald Trump, marked secret or classified on a private email server. the digital version of a box at Mar-a-Lago and did not turn them over when requested, but instead,

more, egregious than Donald Trump, destroyed the documents with bleach-bit software. Gone, poof, just like the investigation, just like the potential charges, and just like any potential indictment into Hillary Clinton. Gone. Poof. Precedent. What aboutism tells us this. case isn't about the problem of cookies being missing from the cooking jar, but the fact that one person who we truly hope we can finally get was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It's not the way we do things in the United States of America. We do not have a two-tier justice system. We do not politicize our justice department. And why? Because we revert to the mean. We become like everybody else. We become a tribalistic society with nothing.

but brute struggles for power. But the what aboutism is more important than even the issue of classified documents. Because last week, while the world began to turn its focus, its attention to the imminent indictment of Donald Trump, a, quote, highly credible source of the FBI was revealed inside of an FBI 1023 document to have told the FBI. that he has direct evidence and knowledge of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, each receiving $5 million from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma in exchange for influence, in exchange for the manipulation of United States foreign policy. Now, as a background, Burisma is the corrupt

Ukrainian energy company. Are there any other kinds of Ukrainian energy companies who, employed Hunter Biden on its board of directors at a rate of $83,000 a month. Now, as a reminder, Hunter Biden did not speak Ukrainian. Now, as a reminder, Hunter Biden had no zero experience in the oil and gas industry. Now, just as a reminder, Hunter Biden was a crackhead. And those and personal history seemed to have qualified him for the Board of Directors at Burisma at a rate of $83,000 a month. Or just spitballing and brainstorming here, was it his last name, Biden? Now that actually doesn't do the story justice because that would suggest maybe Hunter

Biden is simply doing what every young, wealthy man in the Airbus. business has done time immemorial throughout history, nepotism, trade on his name. But that's not simply what was done by Hunter Biden, simply trade on the name Biden. Instead, what is alleged is that the payments of $5 million were not just made to Hunter Biden, but also to Joe Biden. Like the allegations of deals with China, this money went through multiple, multiple bank accounts in the case of China to Jim Biden, Joe Biden's brother, his Joe Biden's grandchildren. Money dispersed in so many different bank accounts, it's almost impossible

to keep track. In this case, it's alleged that money went to both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden to affect American foreign policy. And now we know how and why. Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican from Iowa, no hair on fire, Freedom Caucus, absolute bomb-throwing partisan, Chuck Grassley, who is as old as the Senate, has said that a foreign national has made it aware to the oversight committees that there is 17 tapes that have been recorded between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and a foreign national with or with direct knowledge of Burisma that indicate bribery, a scheme for bribery. The Washington examiner is reporting that the person who made these tapes is Burisma owner

Mikola Slakchevsky. Zlachewski apparently made these tapes, 15 with Hunter Biden, two, with Joe Biden as a, quote, insurance policy. Slavchevsky have said that it will be difficult. It could take up to 10 years to unravel the bribe because the money went through so many different bank accounts. Now, why did Burisma? Hunter Biden, not just $83,000 a month, but $5 million to Hunter and $5 million to Joe Biden.

Because as I mentioned at the top, Burisma was a corrupt energy company in your Ukraine, who kept winning oil and gas leases, kept winning deals in Ukraine. Now, there was a prosecutor who's alleged to have his own issues with corruption in Ukraine. The prosecutor general, his name was Victor Shokin. And Victor Shokin was the subject of pressure by then Vice President Joe Biden on Vladimir Zelensky to stop the investigation into Burisma. So the board of the company where Hunter Biden sits is under investigation for corruption. That board member's father, the vice president of the United States, in charge of foreign policy in that part of the world, in charge of Ukraine, calls up the president, it's alleged, of Ukraine, an attempt to get the prosecutor in charge of investigating corrupt Ukrainian energy firm where Sun sits, off the hook.

in the investigation, do away with the prosecutor. That sounds like influence peddling. That sounds like pay for play. That sounds like corruption. That sounds like one hell of a case of what aboutism. If Donald Trump is guilty of mishandling classified documents of willfully not turning them over to the federal authorities of obstructing justice, fine. But tell me, in what world can you reconcile that charge, however major or minor you pass judgment on that sin, with the choice by the federal government not to pursue very similar charges against Hillary Clinton and the lack of breathless news coverage or the complete absence of an FBI or DOJ investigation into my editorialization, my subjective opinion, a much more consequential. case of corruption, a much more consequential charge against the sitting president of the United

States for having, in the past, peddled influence. Why is that so important? Because it would suggest the current sitting president is capable of being manipulated. And if that is revealed, then we ask ourselves, is he always looking out for the American national interest? or is he under the direct influence either by profit or by pressure of foreign entities who now control American foreign policy? It might be worth asking when we have, I don't know, Chinese spy balloons flying over the United States with a fairly tepid response from the United States of America or the double and triple down of American arms. and money flowing to Ukraine.

Are we making these decisions in pursuit of the national interest of the United States of America and her citizens? Or because the sitting present of the United States has been subjected to in the past or the present influence, improper, undue, corrupt influence. To me, that's not, yeah, my brother took a cookie as well. that's okay you caught me my hand was in the cookie jar i didn't want to turn over some classified documents but did you know my brother is starting an arson fire in the back of the house it's already caught the game room and it's about to spread into the kitchen you might want to check that out no let us make sure we first handle you in the case of the missing cookie that's one hell of a case of what about is him we'll be right back with

Earlier this week, the White House handled its Pride Month event, invited various influencers. In Joe Biden, President Joe Biden's words,

some of the most courageous and brave people he's seen in recent history. Remember he just a few days ago gave a commencement address to future devoted soldiers of the United States of America at the Air Force Academy. But no, these pride influencers, one of the bravest people, Joe Biden seemed in recent memory. And there was one particular influencer that put his video up on social media. His name is Rose Montoya. He is a transgender woman, meaning he is a man dressed up as a woman. He interacted with President Biden during his time at the White House lawn. They made a selfie video, a couple of pictures together.

And then Montoya posed for a video along with a couple of other transgender influencers of various stripes. Some of them were transgender men, meaning they were women who have had. their breasts removed, and were showing their newly bare, scar-laden chests. These bearded women were flexing and showing off their bare chest. So Montoya decided as well, I'm going to pull down my dress with my fake boobs and show them off. Covering the nipple, by the way. Jiggling the boobs on the White House lawn. interestingly

here we are a couple of days removed and the White House has said that this behavior is quote inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House individual in the video will not be invited to future events

it appears we finally found the line is flashing your tits at the White House well I don't know why the White House I don't know why the Biden administration is taken aback by this display we've had it well settled now that this is not about identity it's not about civil rights it's not even about empathy it's about sex a sex cult it's about kink this incident reveals once again yet another piece of evidence and the fact this is simply about what gets you off so I don't know why the White House is suddenly surprised and

willing to condemn this behavior. But it does make me wonder, why is this your line, White House? Why is this your line, Biden administration? Why isn't it, why is it not okay for you to, for someone to shove their sexuality into the face of everyone on the White House lawn? but it is okay for them to do so in the classrooms of our children. Oh, please, well, teachers aren't flashing their hoo-haws in the kindergarten classroom. No, they're just giving books out, demonstrating fallatio, anal sex, all types of sexual acts for our children. They're essentially passing out issues of gender.

jugs to fifth graders. And the White House backs that type of education. Any attempt to stop it has been described as banning books. By the way, banning books, the sin of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Did you see it the Tony's, some actress? I don't know her name because who watches the Tonys. But she went up on stage and she made the faux pa. She accidentally called him the Grand Wizard of Florida.

Okay. the Grand Wizard of Florida. I do wonder, like, when all these insults and caricatures and ridiculous ad homonym, slurs begin to be doled knives, I think they are, certainly are for me. I wonder how it plays for the average citizen. When does that no longer cut? Maybe when it's an actress at the Tony's that nobody's ever heard of who calls Ron DeSantis, the Grand Wizard. But why is it okay to hand out copies of jugs figuratively at elementary school or to twerk against the pavement in the town square or to take kids to drag shows but it isn't cool to do it on the White House lawn? I'd love to sound out that rationale.

I'd love the White House. I hope somebody will ask Corrine Jean-Pierre. She's really pretty good, he said sarcastically, at explaining. the thought process as another side note did you see where she was asked about boys playing girls sports and what do you say to parents who don't feel that safer cool and by the way who would think it was safe for example in a combat sport for a dude to hop in the ring and just start wailing on a chick and she said in the most she manages to really really master the combination of of condescension and stupidity that's actually a dime a dozen those two characteristics going hand in hand but But she's really perfected the art. She's the Picasso of condescension and stupidity. But she said, it's really, we could be careful what you're saying, because it sounds dangerous.

You are saying trans kids are dangerous, and that sounds dangerous. She liked that word. She used it like four times dangerous. Well, it is dangerous for a dude to hop in the ring and start wailing on a chick. Or a dude to join girls soccer and start banging bodies. Or a dude to join field hockey or lacrosse. Or any sport that has any physical contact against girls. It is dangerous.

And please, your rhetorical tricks that somehow you're endangering trans children's lives. Get out of here. Okay? No amount of condescension can cover up that stupidity. But I would like to see Corrine Jean-Pierre explain why it isn't cool to flash your hoo-haz at the White House. I would just like to ask that. Why was that inappropriate? I want to see that answer.

And then I want to see how that answer compares to what our kids are being shown in classrooms, about what's the parades, what's taking place in parades in town squares, about parents who take their kids to drag shows. I want to compare that answer to all of those other particular incidences. We found our line for now. Let's see how it applies to everything else happening, not just during Pride Month, but every month in America. We're going to step aside here for a moment. Stay tuned.

Maybe he'll finally get credit.

I'm happy for the Denver Nuggets. I'm happy for Nicola Yokic. because they've been the best team and the best player for quite some time, for the last couple of years. Denver has put up regular season wins and advance to the playoffs only to meet an end with everyone saying, well, Denver's good. They're a good regular season team, but they're not championship material. And most of that has been because people thought they didn't have the type of absolute 1A stud traditionally needed to win an NBA championship. that stud has usually come in the form of a guard every once in a while of forward and he is a scoring machine it's been kobe it's been lebron it's tim duncan it's been dirk but it's rarely been somebody that looks or plays like nikola yokich

yokech has had kind of a doughy body although he's gotten it in shape he's a sinner he is a bird-esque style passer from the high post seized the entire court. 360-degree vision. Amazing. Also, feathered touch on both his shot and driving to the basket. He can score, he can rebound, he can assist. He literally does everything. But he still didn't have the flash.

He just didn't have the attention. To win, for example, credit on, say, first take. Now, why is that? Is it because he's such an unorthodox player, has such an unorthodox body, or he comes from Eastern Europe? Why is that? Or is it because he is white?

I would offer to you it's all of the above, including the fact that Nicola Yolkich is white. All of these reasons have been a reason that he has been deprived the credit that he deserves as an MVP, a multiple-time MVP. It's been said it's undeserving. He shouldn't have got it. He's been called fat. He was, I think, the second to last pick taken in the NBA All-Star draft. He has been dismissed. He has been ridiculed. he'd been undercut, he's been denied credit. Why?

Every single one of the reasons I just gave you, including his race. Maybe now, maybe, maybe, maybe now, finally. Nicola Yokic, as an NBA champion, multiple-time MVP, will begin to get credit. But just wait until the debate turns to all time. And then once again, Yokic will be denied. Let's see how his career plays out. Let's see who's willing to give him the credit that now he so obviously deserves, as do the Denver Nuggets, NBA champions. That's going to do it for me today here on the Will Kane podcast.

I will see you again on Friday, and I'll have a story for you because I'm going noodling. See you Friday.
