hunter biden. and it turns out that hunter biden has tax problems too. you know that from his laptop. it indicated that he may have taken millions of dollars from communist officials in china. the question is, did hunter biden pay taxes on that money? the judge was wondering that too. they had a criminal investigation into hunter biden's taxes. but you haven't heard a lot about that investigation and that's weird. well, maybe it's not so weird because on inauguration day, joe biden needed a new head of the criminal division of the department of justice. that man is called nicholas and that just so happens that he was a law partner of hunter biden's defense attorney for years. funny how that works. the feds have become more aggressive than ever in using the force of law to crush political dissent. in the leaks to the media, for example, the feds announced they were investigating congressman, matt gaetz of florida for the crime of sex trafficking. "the new york times" dutifully wrote a piece. that destroyed matt gaetz and took him completely off the map. w

into the oval office according to hunter biden. i'm not sure i buy that, this is about standards hunter biden was doing business overseas, he got paid $80000 by ukrainian gas committee as a foreign agent, there's a lot of people who went to prison who were trump associates that got nailed for not registering a foreign agent, comes down to having the same standard of justice for everybody. we'll see what the investigation finds but i think if people have questions at the compact of interest whether it will be a fair investigation. >> i'm glad you brought up a reason about that, hunter biden was asked if it was a mistake for him to join the board of a reason and when his father was in charge of the u.s. ukrainian policy, here's what he had to say. take a listen. >> i don't the guy made a mistake, i think i made a mistake in terms of underestimating the way in which it would be used against me. carley: hunter biden is the victim in the situation. guy: i'm sure he doesn't think it was a mistake, he made a lot of money in a job that he

the story of hunter biden depressed by "the new york post," that story, had it gone out donald trump would have been reelected. this is what we are dealing with all the time, this routine double standard, the media is a public relations bureau for the democrats, for the left and they are out to get us and the only people keeping them honest are the minority parts of the media which is the conservative media. >> emily: jenna, first of all, a hearty welcome to the show, we are so grateful for your perspective and now i pose the same questions to you, he's a clear adversary of our allies in the region, kerry doesn't in either relationship and there hasn't yet been a public accounting of the subject of all of his conversations with him. my question is, don't americans deserve to know not only about this but with the same zeal that reporting underwent during the trump administration? >> jenna: emily, harris, thank you so much for having me and thank you, yes, of course, i think everybody is entitled to transparency particularly when it comes to relationships with foreign countries that we

hunter biden is the red herring. steer all of the attention away from his dad and his dad's complicity in the dealings and the big story, which is china. and i got to say, it worked. i'm a sucker for this stuff. i saw "the daily mail" story. it sucked 30 minutes out of my day. i'm as shallow and desirous of every grisly more sell out there. that shifts away from the cover-up and corruption and what social media did. it worked. have to hand it to him. >> greg, i don't think you're shallow. maybe we have to look into that a little more. sean duffy, greg mentioned the daily mail. they published photos from the laptop. we won't show the ones that are not safe for work. but a number of photos that show a different story of hunter biden and his life than he's telling in the tell-all memoir that they're pushing. >> right. if you don't know if that is your laptop or not, maybe what is -- were those your e-mails where you called your dad the big guy and used his power and influence in american government to make millions? tho

what you make of this remark from hunter biden? >> he allegedly lost a gun, too so i guess he loses a lot of things, allegedly. [laughter] here is the issue. it answers, like broke. it could have been my laptop, it could have been russia. the thing, i expect politicians to cross the spectrum to live, is what a lot of politicians do so when there's a problem on this front and the biden campaign in the home stretch of the election says yes, that's russian disinformation, they present no evidence whatsoever to implicate russia, still no evidence to implicate russia on this front but that was there spin. fine. politicians like. this is a media scandal because the media swallowed the spin and said okay, let's report back, regurgitate the spin as if it's reality and it was that totally unproven spin off the original post story on the front centered by big tech so again i expect politicians, the fact that the media and silicon valley went along with it and that's what really concerns me about this entire thing. >> katie, this is important

hunter biden put that in pretty eloquent terms. donald trump is the master of the politics of personal destruction. look, in my own life he came after me, he came after -- he and his supporters came after family members. we had to leave our home, our jobs, had to hire a full-time security detail. no one needs to have sympathy for me for that, but in my own case i would say what hunter biden articulated is relevant. it actually allowed me and my family members to get closer because you realize this man is a grifter, a con artist and cruel. typically your family members are going to side with you over the grifter and the cruel con artist that wants to destroy people. look, i think it's sickening. it's one of the reasons we're relieved to have donald trump further out of our politics, but we have to look back at this period and learn a lesson and see the total damage done by bad rhetoric coming from our nation's leaders and how much of an effect it can have on the country and our own civility as americans. >> david, i want you to pick

and i'm sure joe biden was desperate to try to get hunter biden to clean up and get sober, and i'm sure the entire team that was working on his presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020 were making sure that they were somehow keeping this out of, out of the light of day. you know, it's just, it's really sad. drug addiction, you know, hurts a lot of families and a lot of communities, and in this case this is the son of the president who was doing some fairly disturbing things very recently. elizabeth: and possible breaking the law. you know, this could be criminal stuff. you know, it shows how he blew hundreds of thousands of dollars on drugs, prostitutes and more. and he has to ask his father for help. hunter biden faced $320,000 of unpaid taxes. he could are gone to prison for that. but it also shows munter bullying -- hunter bullying his father. begging his father to run for president to sallage hunter's own reputation and hunter used, quote, joe biden as a punching bag. he had drug-fueled rants in order to get money from joe biden to pay for him and his grandkids' bills after he drained

i mean, these have real implications so that's why we bring up the hunter biden story. nobody wants to see anybody's troubles out in full view, but if there are a ramifications for the american people, we need to understand it better. john: well, i agree with you, to your point earlier about his book tour and the things on -- that he doesn't remember over the last 4 years, again, there was an fbi investigation ongoing before the election, it was hunter biden's laptop, the things on those -- on that laptop that the -- that the fbi and the department of justice have, those are real but now the question is, will joe biden's department of justice exercise exerciseprosecutorial on joe bis son. top secret emails on a private service in basement in chappaqua, new york and gave her a pass, so don't hold your breath. maria: it's the reason that we are forced to raise the question. is this why he's not bringing up the coronavirus? is there so many conflicts of interest that he doesn't want xi jinping to be the bad guy because that would mean that donald trump may not be the bad g

hunter's reputation for redemption and doing things like the daily mail hunter use joe biden as a punching bag and he hadd drug fueled rants in order to get money from joe biden to pay for him and his grandkids bills after hunter drained his own bank account on crack andnd prostitutes. >> it is very troubling when you talk about the acts you talk about the secret service that was protecting him during this period of time and also remember there is a whole idea that he may falsified a record and submitted an application to get a handgun that can be illegal and with a lot of your viewers are concerned about as well as e am that the two seared into tiered where they seem to skate back into whatever they want whether hillary clinton or hunter biden and republicans are targeted and pursued for the smallest charges. i think we have to get the system of justice not only to appear fair but to be fair. liz: the forensic experts say they found no evidence that this was hacked or fabrication by russian or anything else, is a national security here given the hunter biden was traveling so heavily overs

i think it's easy to go after hunter biden. the guy looks pretty weak. i thought that answer was totally limp. you know, nothing to it. either he says he owns it or he doesn't. it's hard for me to believe he doesn't remember but that's what he says and as trey points out he has got a troubled past especially with drugs and the like and guns and women. everybody knows. he has had a boat load of trouble. but, look, you know, i see this as going after joe biden. i saw a poll this week said joe biden is at 60% approval among voters. and yet i hear his credits say his wife calls herself dr. jill. well the life earned a doctorate or people say kamala harris, she laughs too much. she snickers. and i think yes, so what? it looks to me that people are just looking, they are digging for something on this guy. >> shannon: we are talking about a book though that hunter is out there selling. he wants you to buy it. greg, are you going to buy it? >> greg: i don't have to buy it. i probably will just get it sent to me after i personally invite hunter to be on my new sh

we know for a fact hunter biden did that. he did not register under fa ra, also represented chinese nationals, lobbying his dad, and he has not been charged with a an fa ra violation. am i missing something here? >> you are missing equal administration of justice which we don't have anymore. the hard drive contains somewhere between a dozen or more violations of fara that is spelled out completely, failure to register. the fact is it also spells out, as we now know, a clear violation of the gun act, the application is a straight out fraud, he says i'm not an addict. we have a picture of him five days before, smoking a crack pipe behind the wheel of a car, and saying under oath that he is not an addict and it is the left that gets all perturbed about people who are mentally unstable having guns, well, he was unstable. he has been, unfortunately and tragically -- i feel sorry for that part of hunter biden. i think his father exploited him. but the reality is, he is still a danger to the public if he is driving an automobile or

not once. >> hunter biden is the president second son. a yale trained lawyer and a lobbyist who a's well publicized drug problems, personal scandals and business dealings seem to have kept him this the headlines for all the wrong reasons. there's a current department of justice investigation in to your finances. >> yep. >> what is it about, can you say anything more? >> i can't but i can say this, i'm cooperating completely and i'm absolutely certain, 100% certain that at the end of the investigation, i will be cleared of any wrongdoing. >> you are 100% certain is of it? >> i am, and all i can do is cooperate and trust in the process. >> from the time he was a toddler, hunter biden and his older brother were fixtured in joe biden's public life and when they were both hurt in the 1972 car crash that killed their mother and sister, their dad a newly elected u.s. senator took his oath of office in a hospital room. >> if in six months or so, if there's a conflict between my being a good father or good senator, which i hope will not occur. we

caller: hunter biden and burisma and joe biden holding up blankets and medicine. guest: first on burisma, hunter biden on the board of burisma because he is a ukrainian gas expert? of course not. that is why conservatives trust us more than mainstream media. he knew nothing about gas, little-known ukrainian gas. he was on there because his last name was biden and that was a way of getting a payoff, hoping to influence joe biden. is that true? of course it's true. now, is hunter biden super relevant to current day politics? not at all. he has no role in the administration formally or informally. you want to beat up the president's son because it makes you feel good? have at it. understand that trump's kids robbed us blind when they were in office. what are they get, $640 million? extra wealth while they were in office in four years? a ivanka trump, jared kushner, beavis and butt-head, eric and don jr. so, after you got fleeced by trump's kids, and he put them in charge jared kushner couldn't , even get clearance from the secret service. he was a national security t

how is it that hunter biden was chosen? >> fascinating question, sandra buford who will introduce hunter at this analyst, and next thing you will tell meet dan rather will teach a course called journalism and finding truth in the news. that just happened not too long ago. this is the same hunter biden who blamed the contents of his laptop, on russian disinformation. that has been debunked. this is the same hunter biden who lied on a gun application about his past drug use. that is a federal crime. so you might as well have my don't know, hologram -- next to hunter because i guess we will not be able to tell the difference in terms of credibility, accountability and what is fake news and what isn't. in fact, tulane caused $75,000 a year to send your kid too? $300,000 over four years so you have to clear $500,000 after taxes. you think if you are a parent in here hunter biden teaching a course in fake news you are spending your money correctly? i don't think so, sandra, we have a long time before we have to worry about this w

it was hunter biden's laptop. the things on those, on that laptop that the fbi and the department of justice have, thosee are real. but now the question is will joe biden's department of justice exercise prosecutorial discretion against joe biden's son. you know, i don't know the answer to that. i know what -- maria: right. >> -- the answer should be, but some of the same people involved here are the same folks that look at dozens of classified e-mails on hillary clinton's server, highly classified, top secret e-mails on a private server in her basement in new york and gave her a pass. maria: yeah. >> so, you know, don't hold your breath. maria: it's the reason that we are forced to raise the question, is this t why he's not bringing up the coronavirus? is there so many conflicts of interest that he doesn't want xi jinping to be the bad guy because that would mean donalduy trump may not be the bad guy? can't make xi jinping the bad guy. i mean,n, look, we just heard fm the former cdc director that the coronavirus

touching on that hunter biden lap top was a hot topic. the fact that they would put out a letter like that, they were grocery politicizing the intelligence community. the thing is when formers, whether former intelligence officials or former doj prosecutors say something, they know the department of justice really can't do anything. they can't say anything bad because there's a policy that does not allow them to comment on investigations. it's just a strong political campaign, knowing the people who have the information are ham strung and can't respond. so they know that narrative will be pushed and that narrative will be the one adopted by the media. so it's all very intentional. >> you said something there, politicization of the intelligence agencies. a story in the daily mail in london about hunter biden in 2018 getting secret service protection, to which he's not entitled and wasn't entitled in 2018. getting secret service protection for a week long drugs and hooker binge in california that american taxpayers essentially paid for. are

joe biden is not the governor of georgia nor in the state legislature, back to hunter biden, the truth is, that it's sad. anyone who has been around an addict, i thought the president, president biden in the debate against trump was really good when he talked about in very truthful way the pain and difficulty of being around an addict. the trying is there is no evidence there was misbehavior by the president and then the vice president, by hunter biden. he is being investigated for tax issues that continues. the biden administration did not change out prosecutors. that investigation should go on without politics. mike: david avella, hunter biden, didn't seem to know or was kind of wishy-washy whether or not that was his laptop. wouldn't you know if you lost a laptop? >> you would think. and there is much more to this story that hopefully the department of justice is going to look at and uncover. but let's stay on this, is this joe biden's fault or not. joe biden isn't the governor of georgia but he is the president of the united states. had he not weighed in on the georgia law or actua

you've heard about hunter biden over the years. you've heard all the tabloid coverage of hunter biden. you think you know his story. we know right wing media is obsessed with him, fox news always targeting him. there are real questions to ask, including about the laptop that cbs is probing, that they asked him about in an interview airing today and again tomorrow. but this book, this book about addiction, about how many times hunter biden could have died, the president's son, it's breathtaking. so let's talk about it with kate bennett, cnn white house correspondent. kate bennett is with me along with david ser wick who is back for more. i want to preview this for people. this book is kind of under the radar. comes out in two days. what stood out most to you? >> i think just what you said. the depth and scope of hunter biden's addiction and the honesty with which he discusses it. this is a man who had a serious crack cocaine addiction, as well as a serious alcohol problem. he had his first drink when he was 8 years old, a glass of c

president biden's son hunter biden has been speaking to the bbc. he was a target for donald trump in last year's presidential election. he was criticised for his drug and alcohol addictions, and his lucrative appointment to a ukrainian energy company. speaking to mishal husain, hunter biden spoke openly about his addiction problems — and that he failed to appreciate how his involvement in that company would be perceived. can you see why people look at the fact that the ukrainian gas company burisma took you onto their board for a reported $50,000 a month and think, well, they were obviously doing that because of your surname was yellow when someone comes to you with work, it's myjob to you with work, it's myjob to do the due diligence. to you with work, it's my “0b to do the due diligence. which idea. and. _ to do the due diligence. which idea. and, you _ to do the due diligence. which idea. and, you know, - to do the due diligence. which idea. and, you know, what- to do the due diligence. which idea. and, you know, what i l idea. and, you know

said it was all fresh and chicanery but now you have hunter biden admitting it was his. is it time for the media especially those from the white house to bring up some very serious questions? >> guy: yes. is it going to happen? probably not. and it's not full confirmation. can we talk about how ridiculous that answer was? it certainly might be my laptop, and might be russia, and might of been stolen, who's to say? they've never actually denied the authenticity of the material. so i expect someone like that to dissemble or potentially live. i expect political campaigns to live into spin. it's what political campaigns do to the biden campaign said this could be a problem for us, we are in the home stretch of an election, let's say it's russia and see how that plays. i think that's wrong, they shouldn't have done it, they had no evidence for it. the real scandal here is the media because they uncritically almost across the board in the mainstream press said russian disinformation, you say? let's regurgitate that. far and wide. let's take them at their word, had a bunch of f

hunter biden is doing this himself. greg, kids to fill out gender profile and take your brother's widow, maybe that is something he could help him with. but tulane cost $56,000 a year so i think hunter is going there for the money. he is thinking he could get in on that. >> greg: if you have students at tulane right now and you are a parent, called them and tell them to lock the doors because hunter is in town. up next, out with a solution for your chronic tv show indecisiveness. ♪ ♪ not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

biden and jim biden, hunter's uncle and joe's brother, tony bobulinski came forward last october and said that he was the ceo of this company they were forming with a chinese conglomerate and he himself met with joe biden about the deal. that joe biden was the secret partner in the deal. that they had set aside 10% for the big guy, and that hunter often referred to his father as the big guy. and another partner in their wrote to tony bobulinski never mention joe face-to-face. joe's involvement because they are paranoid about it. so the fact that joe biden was involved in this deal i think is the essential issue. and hunter, you know, his convenient not sure about the laptop, i think the interviewer at cbs made an honest effort. the follow-up question should have been it is not about the laptops per se but those are the contents. the emails that showed there was this deal with the chinese energy company, ron johnson's senate committee found that hunter and the family got $11 million from the chinese after the deal fell apart. what was that money for? so you have all of this confluence

we weren't allowed to talk about hunter biden. we were censoring hunter biden so twitter just obliterated "the new york post" story. we weren't allowed to talk about the laptop. nothing to see here. now the guy is literally admitting he smokes parmesan cheese from the market. but joe biden, this is not joe. joe biden has multiple times referred to him as the smartest guy he knows. wouldn't you say, if you've smoked that much crack, that you're in the carpet, like maybe that disqualifies you from the list. >> greg: unless joe knows a lot of stupid people. the i.q. level for his friends is not very high. cat -- here's the thing about hunter that bothers me the most. he gives drug use a bad name. it seems to me that like, a lot of people use drugs and don't become hunter biden so it's more about hunter biden that it is the drug. >> absolutely agree. i also think just joe biden is the worst kind of hypocritical when it comes to this, right? because i don't think that being a drug addict or even a drug user makes you a bad person or --

the second thing is he got the job because his last name is biden which hunter biden has admitted in interviews prior to writing his book and the third thing is that we know this was hunter biden's laptop. when he is asked about this and gives all the excuses for it may be mine, may not be mine. we know it's his. fox has done plenty of reporting on it. there is eyewitness and tony bobulinski says all the information that came off of the laptop including all the text messages about the big guy being joe biden are true. so, the laptop is hunter biden's. >> lawrence: yeah. i wish they would imi me an interview. i have some questions. anyway. [laughter] straight ahead is aoc all talk and no action? why she is getting called out as one of the roast effective members of congress ahead on "the five" of ♪ ♪ ♪ >> greg: she talk as big game on twitter when it actually comes to getting stuff done new york democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez coming up short. aoc one of the least effective members of the last congress introducing 21 pills that went nowhere. i hate bills that go nowhere. all r

." >> tracy: then, i'll have some questions for hunter biden, the president's son. as you'll see, the younger biden has much to say about the controversies he has faced. >> reporter: so how often do you talk to your dad? >> i talk to him at least once a day. >> reporter: it seems that for years hunter biden has been making news for all the wrong reasons. but now he is trying to set the record straight about his addictions, his business, and his personal life. i mean, how could you not have foreseen that this was going to look bad? >> because i really didn't. i'm being as honest with you as i possibly can. >> reporter: our candid conversation coming up. >> tracy: carrie underwood is an "american idol" winner. she is talking with michelle miller for the record. ♪ >> reporter: carrie underwood's a superstar, but she says still a small-town country girl at heart. >> i was just a little girl from oklahoma, you know, a small town. i loved to sing, but lots of people love to. i have been given every open door. i'm so blessed and so grateful. more than anything, i want to

carley: let's talk about hunter biden. i want your take on what he said april 4, about the laptop controversy. >> the creepiest thing is-- look, the only thing i know is if the intelligence community came out with a report said that the entire thing is disinformation -- just it's in my book, it's all right there. carley: are we going to get to the bottom this or never get the truth you think? >> not if the current justice department keeps preceding the way they have, which is to protect hunter biden and also joe biden. we need a special counsel out of the justice department to investigate these allegations. hunter biden essentially admitting the laptop could be his and then falsely say in the intelligence community said the laptop scandal and all the hunter biden scandals is disinformation, that's not the case and hunter biden needs to answer questions about his russia connection and the american people cannot trust the currently compromised justice department meaning attorney general merrick garland reports to joe biden.
