Yeah, this is going to be a dangerous episode because you know me, I'm a giver and I know that you are probably not going to carve out three hours to watch Hunter Biden's interview with Andrew Callahan on his Channel five YouTube show. Okay, it's a three hour interview. The interview looks like it lasted longer than three hours. That's just what they turned it into. But that I don't know. It's a because he does production post interview, what we call in the biz post production. So uh, I know that most people aren't going to sit and watch all of this, So I did, and I did it for you, Okay, I well, also I was kind of curious to see what he had to say, but I thought I might as well just pull some audio. But here's the thing. Hunter Biden cusses like a sailor. Actually I shouldn't say that. I think sailors have more than two curse words in their vocabulary. I believe, I mean, I think I've just always grown up believing that that sailors were sort of the uh, the experts in cursing. So so, yes, he drops a lot of the the F bombs, a couple of the S words. He does, you know, a couple of references. You know, it says the B word, but he didn't say it like calling somebody that. So I left that in because I mean, like complaining. I guess I could have beeped it too, But after you do like seventy of these, you know beeps, when you're going through an interview that's three hours long and trying to censor with a bleep every single time he curses, it got tedious. So, at great risk to our FCC license, I'm going to play clips from the Hunter Biden interview. I have done all of the editing work myself on this, and so if for some reason you hear the audio skip ahead and you're like, WHOA, what just happened there. That means I missed one. Okay, that means I missed a bleep. I've got Nick, I've got Bernie. They're listening by sitting by listening. Nick has his finger hovering precipitously over the dump button. I too, shall be hovering precipitously over the dump button, which we can then hit and cut the offending word out of the broadcast. Side note, if you listen to the podcast, you're going to hear it, so because that's just recorded on a different feed anyway, I mean, in case you're just like, oh, I got to hear him use these curse words. And that's the thing too. Curse words, when you use them all the time, they lose their impact. They really do. That's why you'll notice I never curse on air, right well, I mean there's the FCC rules as well that yes, but I don't use it as a normal crutch word, any of these words. So you'll know if, like we're in real life somewhere and I say one of these bad words, you'll know that I am I'm particularly hacked off about something if I use one of those words. So anyway, this is from National Review by James Lynch. Hunter Biden is lashing out at leading Democratic operatives and media personalities for derailing his father's ill fated reelection bid and continuing to question whether Joe Biden was in command of the White House during his presidency. In two separate podcast interviews, Hunter Biden harshly criticized former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod, CNN host Jake Tapper, the pod Save America podcast, and their hosts, as well as other Democratic commentators for doubting his father all along the way. During an interview with Channel five, an independent YouTube channel run by comedic interviewer Andrew Callahan, Biden went on a profanity laced tirade against his father's various critics. Now, I will point out something here. He never names Barack Obama as part of his li of horribles. He gets close, He comes pretty close when he starts tearing into George Clooney. He mentions Barack Obama as a friend of Clooney. And remember at the time when George Clooney wrote the editorial or the op ed for the Washington Post I believe it was, or maybe the New York Times. I forget when Clooney said Biden needs to step aside. That was interpreted as coming from Barack Obama. But even in this three hour rant, and I shouldn't say that because the whole thing wasn't durant. In fact, the first hour of it was quite compelling. It really was. He talked about addiction, you know, recovery like it was. It was a really interesting The first hour was very interesting. He came across his personable, likable, even kind of funny, very smart, articulate. So that was the first hour. I didn't pull any of that. Well, no, I mean it's interesting. I would recommend if you are interested in hearing about that. And because well so what I also found out because I had never heard of this interviewer guy before this, Andrew Callahan or his show. It's a YouTube channel. He's got like three and a half million subscribers. And so when I googled the guy or I ducked duck goat him. I ducked him. Anyway, I came across a story from twenty twenty three by Emily Olsen at NPR. YouTube star and documentary filmmaker Andrew Callahan has publicly apologized after women came forward to say he sexually assaulted or coerced them. Okay. Hunter Biden, by the way, said at the very beginning that he was a very big fan of Callahan's work. I assume he meant the podcast. But this guy got his start while a student at Loyola University in New Orleans, where he launched a YouTube series called Quarter Confessions. He would wear pale suits and carry a corded microphone. He interviewed intoxicated partiers in the street on Bourbon Street, and then he would edit together their wildest statements with quick cuts and intentionally outdated effects. He took that style of filmmaking across the country in a beat up RV, stopping for interviews at sites like a flat earther's conference and the Talladega Speedway. Okay, so you get his politics here. He is of the left. Okay. That show was called All Gas, No Brakes, but it fell apart in twenty twenty one after a contract dispute. Callahan then started a Patreon funded channel five. Channel five on Patreon, which is a crowdsourcing platform. I'm over there and so where creators make content and people subscribe to that channel. That's Patreon. The series has amassed over one hundred and six million YouTube views since April of twenty twenty one. His following has only broadened since the December thirtieth release of his first HBO documentary called This Place, Rule Rules, which examines the cultural divisions underlying the J six attack on the US Capitol. Callahan has defended his popularity among younger millennials and elder gen Zers as a bit of a media mockery in the service of media literacy. I will say I found his interview style to be quite good. He was disarming, He got Biden to talk about stuff. He brought other topics in that were seemingly offscript, and you know, allowed Hunter Biden to sort of let down his guard on some stuff, particularly at the very end when he asked him if he was aware of like these adult diaper communities, like these people who get dressed up as babies, and that there's a that there's a big riff in the community. Did you know this. There are two types of these adult babies. There are those who do not allow use of the diapers, and then there's another sect that does and so they oh, yeah, so in the community, this is a very big problem. Apparently, and so he went. He went in depth on this community. Anyway, he was accused of sexual coercion by a bunch of different women. He then posted a video to Instagram and he thanked people who had spoken out about different ways in which my behavior has made them feel uncomfortable or pressured during a sexual situation. He apologized to them as well as his collaborators. He did not single out any particular accusations, nor confirm or deny any specific accusations. He says, I've always taken note for an answer as far as consent, I have never overstepped that line. But then he also said that he believes alcohol may have contributed to his decision making and said he's planning to join a twelve step program. Okay, so it seems like that's the connection. Why they spent the first hour talking about addiction and recovery and that sort of thing, which again I thought the first hour was quite good, interesting and compelling. But the rest of the interview, oh boy, we'll get to it. Be prepared with the dump button. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina? Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection.

A message from Russ on Twitter, God bless you Pete for listening to the Hunter Biden interview. We don't deserve the sacrifices you make on our behalf. Uh well, look, all I will say about that is you're welcome. Okay, So here is the here's clip number one again, be ready with the dump button. I think I got all the cuss words out. So Hunter Biden drew parallels between modern America and post civil reconstruction, and then shifted pivoted immediately to drawing parallels between modern America and if you guess Nazi Germany, you'd be correct. If I said to you, look, I'm going to tell you a story from the past. By the way, he sounds like his dad from forty years ago. It's amazing. It's about a minority group of people to live in a country. It's constitutional democracy that has had its problems in the past, but it's an economic powerhouse and it is the center of learning. This is the center of culture. It has a deep and rich history, but there is a minority group that those in power that came into power through democratically elected means are going to target this minority group because they're sealing all the jobs. Today, our cities are flooded with illegal aliens. Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force, and their jobs are taken. They're not. By the way, the podcaster dropped in these clips obviously after production, after the interview, and he did this throughout the entire three hours. He would drop in these little clips to basically support whatever it was that Hunter Biden was saying. Not originally citizens, they're not the original people. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. On top of that, they're spreading disease and distrust, and they're criminals and they can be violent. They're eating your dogs and cats. They're eating the dogs the people that came in, they're eating the cats. And what we're going to do is we're going to send mass men to this marginalized group and we are going to take them, put them on planes, put them on buses, put them on trains, and send them to a prison camp in a foreign country. What am I describing right then? Am I describing Germany? Am I describing the United States? Right now? Because I will tell you what if you think that the prison in l Salvador is not a concentration camp, you're out of your mind. Tell me anybody that's returning from there. You saw his pictures. Do you think anybody's getting out of there? Or you know, is it a rebilitation center? You think I've been to those places in South Sudan around in those areas. Do you think anybody's getting out of those South Sudan prisons ever? Ever? Out of your mind. That's a death camp. They're done, They're over, And if you're not dead, you would want to be dead if you were in that prison. We just sent a bunch of people without due process, some of them most likely legally in the United States. Like I think of that poor guy that they said was a gang member because he had a tattoo on his arm, that was a makeup artist and they say he's MS thirteen. He literally makeup artists that fled. I think what I'm making it up Venezuela because of a dictator and came to the United States and saw it asylum was received asylum, and they literally take this poor guy and they pick him up, and he has a family, and he has friends, and he has an entire community, and they give him no process and they put them on a plane with maybe a bunch of other criminals and send them to that healthscape. He's dead and nobody gives h And I mean it like, we sit here and we talk about the one guy, the one guy, because there's a clear legal path to being able to get him back. What about all those other people? Am I not supposed to feel for someone? Am I going to be like all these democrats say, you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration. You, how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you got food on your table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your garden? Who do you think is here? By the sheer just grit and will that they've figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give theirselves and their family a better chance. And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are the criminals. White men in America are forty five more times likely to commit a violent crime than an immigrant. And the media says, well, you got David Axelrod and you know, Rom Emmanuel was so smart, Ram Emmanual and is that we got to understand that these people are really mad, and. These we got to appeal to these white voters. Well, the only people that appealed to those white voters was Joe Biden eighty one years old and he got eighty one million votes. And he did because not because he appeased their Trumpian sense, but because he challenged it. And he said, you can be an eighty one year old Catholic from Scranton that doesn't understand it but still has empathy for transgender people and immigrants. And nobody said, oh, Joe Biden's going to turn us into a social estate, no matter how much they said it. But these guys think that we need to run away from all values in order for us to lead. I say you, how are we getting those people back from El Salvador, Because I'll tell you what. If I became president in two years from now, or four years from now or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the president of El Salvador and say, you either fucking send them back or I'm going to invade. It's a crime what they're doing. He's a dictator thug. Okay, so there you go, dictator thug, both presidents of both countries. Lots of f bombs. I think I did, Okay, I did, I know, I know I did. Okay, guess I got them all And there were a bunch in that one. But I gotta tell you Democrats, here's just a piece of advice here. This whole argument of who's going to pick your crops, who's going to wipe your butt, who's going to clean your toilets? Right, you're not exactly persuading people that view the Democrat Party as the party of slavery. You're not persuading us, you guys. I know this is like embedded in the Democrat DNA. But this this idea that we have to keep importing a slave class or an indentured servant class to work for below minimum wage, right to work without benefits, and to be in constant fear of deportation. This is not making the argument that you think it's making. It just makes you sound like you're an elitist. You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things to understand.

So a couple of things I need to point out here. He Hunter. Biden in that interview said a stat that was that white males are forty five times more likely to commit violent crimes than immigrants. Okay, I have found nothing to support this this assertion. Also, it's kind of an odd comparative because you're using white males versus an entire immigrant population. I don't know how you're defining immigrant. Is it only illegal immigrant? Is it legal and illegal? Is it people have been here, you know, forty years, fifty years? I don't know. But also I think a truer comparative would be, you know, illegal alien males versus white males. What I have found is that there are lots of comparisons between native born population versus immigrant born population. Foreign born population, I should say, and on that front, immigrants have had lower incarceration rates than the native born population since at least eighteen seventy, and that's when data was first recorded. In twenty twenty, immigrants were sixty percent less likely to be incarcerated than the US born. This is not broken out though, by racial demographics. Right now, I'm about to say something that might be controversial but is born out by the statistics, which is, if you break down the proportions of you know, how many people make up the entire population of America, You've got you know, black, white, and Hispanic. And if you break it down into foreign born versus native born, and you're going to break all of that data down, then you have to break down the data to look at the proportion of the population, for example, that is incarcerated, that are charged, convicted, that sort of thing, and there is an overrepresentation of African Americans in the penal system. Now people will say there are all sorts of historical reasons, systemic racism, all of these other accusations and explanations and such, But that's just the data. Okay. So I don't know where he's getting this data point from that white males are forty five times more likely to commit violent crimes than immigrants. I don't know what that data point is. I don't believe it's true. Also, I would point out that Hunter Biden himself blamed Mexican males and assumed that they were illegal aliens when he was trying to blame them for disposing of the firearm in a garbage can near a school, which he did, right, So that was that's the same Hunter Biden who's now, you know, yelling and cussing at people, who's going to you know, clean your hotel rooms and all that. Let's see here. This is from the text line. Diane says, a classic example of toxic empathy. I missed who that was speaking, But good grief, he's delusional. Yeah, Scott says, oh these, okay, these? This is reference to the Coca Cola story on the news. Don't believe our news department is reading the text line. Just a heads up on that. It's funny. This is from Sid. It's funny how you never hear the Democrat Party say who's going to perform my heart surgery? Who's going to perform the nuclear fission experiment? Just kidding. I don't know anybody that does those things either. They just continually stand by the talking points without hearing how degrading they themselves actually sound. Have a great day. Sorry you had to listen to Hunter in that interview, but thankful you did it. Not me. You're welcome, David. Is it just me or is it the tone of his voice? It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Jennifer says Hunter is just another lion Biden, and Sean says that interview only shows that Hunter Biden is exactly who we thought he was. I would also point out here that for all of the the accolades that Hunter Biden gives to his father and all the stuff he did, and for his you know, his emotional expressions here talking about immigration, you know, it was illegal immigration that was the biggest drag on your dad's presidency and his popularity numbers. That's like that was the driving force connected to theonomy. Economy was number one, obviously, but illegal immigration was a massive issue because he opened up the freaking borders and as Diane called it, toxic empathy. And also the host of this program, Andrew Callahan, he responded to that rant by Hunter Biden by saying that anybody who goes through the grueling conditions to get here, and he had been down on the border, he interviewed a bunch of people, he did a documentary on it. He says, if they went through all of this, they should allowed to be citizens. That's what we want. And then he turned around and blamed America and the corporations for all of the conditions in all of the countries where all of these people come from, which is like the height of Western narcissism, Like this is what woke is. So when you hear people talk about the woke right, and you don't know what the woke right means because you associated woke with the left right. This is what it means. It's this idea that we are to blame for everybodybody else's problems in every other country. We are the reason that anybody acts the way they act. Right, and because this is the oppressor oppressed narrative, and the woke right just swaps out the different oppressor and oppressed classes. But this is the same mentality that we are the reason for all of the conditions. It's not the Marxists that took over your Central American country, no no, no, no no. It's not your own policies down there that had nothing to do with it. No, it's America. We did the bad thing. We made your country terrible. It's as if it's as if these non American or non Western civilizations have no agency of their own, like they don't make their own decisions, like they're just not capable. See how racisty that sounds, But that is embedded in all of this debate. There's more, Oh, there's a lot more. There was three hours of it, all right. If you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, And you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's a website, and it combines news from around the world in one place so you can compare coverage and verify information.

This is from Chris on the text line, I feel really sorry for Hunter and his family. They seem like really lost people. I sincerely hope they find God. I've also got a bunch of people saying, oh, is he back on drugs? Whatever? I did not. I did not think that watching the interview with him the three hours, I did not get that impression he's been. He claims he's been sober six years, he knows the date. He talks about his sobriety a lot, and how he stays clean and all of that. So I no, I don't. I know that everybody's making that joke today. But I did not get any indication that he was on drugs, and his drug of choice was alcohol. He said he was drinking a handle of vodka a day, which is nuts, because I mean, it takes me, like a like at least just two to get anyway, Andy says, great show, Pete. I am blown away at the way they refer to illegal immigrants as if they are slaves. Where is the outrage from people it is not or is it not illegal to hire undocumented people? Is it not illegal to pay people a lower wage based on their skin color, creed, country of origin, et cetera, or legal status? I would add also, I was under the impression that child labor is against the law. It is. No one has said anything about the living conditions these folks endure while living on these you know, plantations that they are working. Just amazed at the hypocrisy. Yeah, that's what I mean. They like, they don't they don't know how they sound when they say this stuff. It's been a huge blind spot for the open Border's crowd for the last twenty five years because I've been saying this very same thing. They claim to be the humane party in this conversation. Yet the very system that you allow to exist and that you then expanded under Joe Biden has led to much misery. People were enticed to make the journey and to suffer the degradations and the assaults, Like, I don't know why you think that's a more humane position, rather than to say the border is secure, you don't get to come in except through the legal process. Then we can have a discussion about the legal process. But the days of you promising, you know, reforms to the system right now in exchange for future enforcement, those days are gone gone. You had a window of opportunity about twenty years ago under George W. Bush, you had a couple more opportunities under Trump won, but all of that is gone after what we just saw over the course of four years gone. It is now enforcement first. We'll come back and fix the immigration laws and if you want to make it easier. By the way, do you know how many people come into the country legally every year? You know what that number is, And there are some people who want this number to be zero. I am not one of those people. We take in legally a million people a year. That's a huge number. That's more than anywhere else. And honestly, I'm okay with that. If we can assimilate that many people that quickly, sure, but you got to do it legally. Danny says, the bidens want more money. That's my primary takeaway from watching some of this interview. But let's not forget that Hunter is the smartest guy that Joe knows. That's true, that's true. And yeah, just like that, nobody wanted his pain. He's actually said he is going to be doing another art show. He's selling paintings, he's still painting, he's still doing That's part of his recovery. He says the cocaine at the White House was not his He's like, I was only there twelve days. Let me go over here and get Brandon on before the newscast. Hey, Brandon, welcome to the show. Hey, hello, Hello, Hello. Can you hear me? I can hear you just fine, And everyone listening on the air can hear you too, Okay. I just I just want to say, I think Hunter Biden is speaking from a place of privilege when he thinks that just that's all the immigrants are here for our service jobs because I actually worked in construction. And they build houses, poor concrete. They do a lot of blue collar jobs, and I mean, it's kind of a good thing, but it's a bad thing because they are illegal, So they're taking away quality jobs. From good Americans. You know. Not only that, but well, well I was I was gonna say, by actually getting rid of the illegal it will open up a lot more jobs on the market and allow people to actually go into these trades, and not only that, but show you know, the pay for the trades because there be an open market then exactly because yeah, yeah, no. You're exactly right, Brandon. The more the more job openings there are with not enough supply to fill them, raises the wages of those who can do the work, and then you'll then you'll have the flexibility if you're stuck at some place, you're working for a contractor that you don't like, but you can't go somewhere else because all the jobs are getting taken by people that are undercutting you for the wage, then you would be able to find a better a better employer to go work for because there'd be more openings and such. Yeah, you know, you're exactly you're exactly right. And again I'm not opposed to welcoming legal immigrants in especially in hard hit sectors where we might need more labor, but that doesn't mean you open the doors up and allow illegal labor to then undercut the wages of Americans. Branda, I got to run. I appreciate the call man. Good to hear from you, appreciate you. Thank you, all right, take it easy, all right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
