TWITTER’S STOCK BY THE WAY
SURGED OVER THIS NEWS.
LET’S BRING IN SENIOR POLITICAL
ANALYST BRIT HUME.
GOOD EVENING, BRIT.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE
HUNTER BIDEN STORY.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE MEDIA ANGLE
HERE.
OBVIOUSLY THIS INVESTIGATION IS
CONTINUING.
HERE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF CHUCK
GRASSLEY TODAY.
>> WE CAN ONLY EXPOSE THE
RECORDS THAT SHOW THAT
$5 MILLION WENT FROM PEOPLE IN
CHINA TO THE BIDEN, HUNTER
BIDEN.
WE JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY AND THE
FACTS WHERE THEY LEAD US AND WE
AREN’T DONE WITH THIS YET.
WE WILL PROBABLY BE MAKING SOME
MORE REVELATIONS YET THIS WEEK
IN SENATE SPEECHES.
>> Bret: WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR
THE REVELATIONS WHAT DO YOU MAKE
OF THIS STORY?
>> Brit: IT’S PRETTY CLEAR,
BRET.
IT’S NOT JUST ALLEGATIONS OF
INFLUENCE PEDDLING.
CLEARLY HUNTER BIDEN WAS
PEDDLING WHATEVER INFLUENCE WAS
AVAILABLE TO HIM THROUGH HIS
FATHER.
YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN’T HIRE
HUNTER BIDEN BECAUSE OF HIS, YOU
KNOW, HIS NOTED SKILLS IN ANY
PARTICULAR AREA.
THE SON, WHATEVER ELSE HE MAY
BE, A PRETTY DISALOOT CHARACTER
NEVER DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF IN
ANY WAY AND WOULD BE UNLIKELY
PERSON FOR FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OR
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO HIRE TO
HELP THEM IN WASHINGTON.
HE WAS HIRED OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE
HIS FATHER WAS AT THE TIME VICE
PRESIDENT AND FOR THE PRESIDENT
NOW TO SAY WELL HE NEVER YOU
KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT HE SAID
THIS ALL ALONG HE NEVER KNEW
ABOUT HIS SON’S BUSINESS
DEALINGS OR HIS BROTHER’S
BUSINESS DEALINGS IN THE SAME
ARENAS IS A LITTLE HARD TO
BELIEVE AFTER ALL, YOU KNOW,
HUNTER BIDEN FLEW INTO CHINA
WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT ON AIR
FORCE 2.
WHAT DID THEY HAVE THE WHOLE
TRIP AND THE FATHER NEVER ASKED
HIS SON WHAT HE WAS DOING OVER
THERE?
IT DOESN’T HOLD TOGETHER.
>> Bret: YEAH, AND "THE
WASHINGTON POST" COMES OUT OVER
THE WEEKEND CAN WITH THIS KIND
OF CONTRITION OF HUNTER BIDEN
STORY AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A
RECKONING WHY CONFIRMATION OF A
STORY STORY SURFACED 2020 IN THE
FALL ONLY SURFACING NOW.
THE SERIES OF EVENTS HAS
PROMPTED COVER-UP OR DOUBLE
STANDARD.
THE LESSON LEARNED FROM 2016 WAS
TO AIR ERR ON THE SIDE OF THE
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
THE LESSON FROM 2020 MAY BE
THERE IS A DANGER OF SUPPRESSING
ACCURATE AND RELEVANT STORIES.
THAT’S FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD
OF "THE WASHINGTON POST" WHICH,
WAY THE BOO BY THE WAY DEMOCRACY
DIES IN DARKNESS.
>> WHEN IS IT NOT A BAD IDEA TO
SUPPRESS ACCURATE AND
RELEVANTERS TO.
IT ALWAYS IS, OF COURSE.
THIS WAS AS IT TURNS OUT AND A
LOT OF US THOUGHT SO AT THE TIME
AN ACCURATE AND RELEVANT STORY
IS THAT BROKE IN THE "NEW YORK
POST" WITH LOTS OF DETAIL.
LOTS OF FACTS ALLEGED.
AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA NOT
JUST TWITTER AND FACEBOOK WHICH
DISGRACEFUL LIVE REFUSED TO
ALLOW THE STORY TO APPEAR ON
THEIR SITES BUT ALSO NEWSPAPERS
"THE WASHINGTON POST" AND
NOTABLY THE "NEW YORK TIMES" AS
WELL.
OTHER MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLETS
THAT REFUSED TO FOLLOW UP ON IT
AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD DO.
ANOTHER NEWS PUBLICATION AND
OUTLET BREAKS THE STORY RELEVANT
STOFFER IN THE MIDDLE OF A PLAY
CAMPAIGN.
ALLEYS ARE SERIOUS CAN YOU RUN
THEM DOWN AND YOU DON’T MAKE A
BLANKET JUDGMENT WITHOUT
INVESTIGATING WHETHER THE STORY
IS TRUE OR FALSE OR VALID OR
NOT.
THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
YOU HAD EXINTELLIGENCE AGENTS OR
OFFICIALS 50 OR SO CAME OUT AND
SAID IT SMACKED OF RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION.
WE NOW KNOW IT CERTAINLY WAS
NOT.
AND THAT THEIR SAYING SO WAS
PURE SPECULATION AND, YOU KNOW,
POLITICALLY MOTIVATED THE
NEWSPAPERS AND OTHERS THAT
COVERED THIS STOFFER UP AND STOR
COVER IT UP.
AT THE DID NOT WANT JOE BIDEN TO
LOSE TO DONALD TRUMP AND THAT
WAS THE BOTTOM LINE.
>> Bret: QUICKLY BRIT, YOU ARE
AN AVID DEWITTER USER.
DO YOU THINK IT TWITTER CHANGES
WITH ELON MUSK AS LARGEST
SHAREHOLDER.
>> I THINK.
SO GOOD THING.
MORE OPEN PLATFORM AND
MONKEYSHINES THAT SHE HAVE BEEN
DOING WHERE THEY SUPPRESS
CERTAIN STORIES AND CANCEL
PEOPLE AND SHUT THEM DOWN AND SO
FORTH NEEDS TO GO AWAY.
LOOK, WHETHER YOU ARE A FAN OF
DONALD TRUMP OR NOT, IT’S NOT A
GOOD IDEA FOR THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
NOT SPEAK ON ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT COMMUNICATIONS
PLATFORMS IN AMERICA WHICH
TWITTER CERTAINLY IS.
AND PROFITS FROM BEING SO I
THINK THINGS MAY CHANGE THE
TWITTER.
I NOTICE ONE TWITTER BIG SHOT
SAID HE WAS QUITTING BECAUSE HE
DIDN’T WANT TO WORK FOR ELON
MUSK.
I SUSPECT IN THE EYES OF MANY
