NY Times reports Dems are 'uncomfortable' with Hunter Biden's public appearances

THING. WHISTLEBLOWER SAYING SOMETHING ELSE. >> Dana: LET'S BRING IN JOHN LEVINE. ONE OF THE MESSAGES THAT CAME OUT ABOUT THE CHINESE ASSOCIATED. I'M TIRED OF THIS, KEVIN. I CAN MAKE $5 MILLION FROM ANY LAW FIRM IN AMERICA. THE BIDENS ARE THE BEST AS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE CHAIRMAN WANTS FROM THIS PARTNERSHIP. LET'S NOT QUIBBLE OVER PEANUTS. >> Bill: THAT'S A VERY DISTURBING EMAIL. CERTAINLY THE MONEY

INVOLVED TRACKS WITH WHAT WE KNOW HUNTER BIDEN RECEIVED AND HIS FAMILY FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES, HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE REVEALED 10 MILLION TO MANY DIFFERENT LLCs. THE MOST DISTURBING THING WHAT YOU READ THE BIDENS ARE THE BEST AT DOING WHAT THE CHAIRMAN WANTS. WHAT DOES THE CHAIRMAN WANT? WHAT BIDENS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? THAT INDIVIDUAL IS A MAN NAMED MING, A CHINESE ENERGY EXECUTIVE. A BIG TYCOON

IN THE COUNTRY SITTING IN A CHINESE JAIL CELL SINCE 2018. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENED. >> Dana: WHAT WERE THE SAID REASONS. >> Bill: CORRUPTION. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THE FIRST THING I WAS THINKING OF TODAY IS WHAT INFORMATION DOES THIS MAN HAVE THAT THE CHINESE CAN NOW EXTRACT ON HUNTER AND POTENTIALLY JOE BIDEN? I DON'T KNOW. I.R.S. WHISTLEBLOWER SAYS HUNTER BIDEN WAS WRITING

OFF AS BUSINESS EXPENSES PROSTITUTES, TRAVEL FOR THEM. SEX CLUB MEMBERSHIPS AND HOTEL ROOMS FOR DRUG DEALERS. A COUPLE MISDEMEANORS AND PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION. WHAT AN AVERAGE JOE GET THAT? IF YOU TRIED TO WRITE OFF PROSTITUTES AND DRUGS YOU WOULD PROBABLY GET A STIFFER SENTENCE AND EVEN SHAPLEY SAID IF YOU ARE A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER OR ANY OTHER AMERICAN NO WAY YOU WOULD GET AWAY WITH CRIMES LIKE

THAT. >> Dana: LET'S LISTEN TO MORE OF GARY SHAPLEY. CALL FOR NUMBER FIVE ABOUT THE PLEA DEAL. >> THERE IS STILL OUTSTANDING TAX DUE AND OWING ABOVE THAT 620,000. BECAUSE OF THIS DEAL THEY'LL NEVER RECOUP. THE MOST SUB STAETIVE FELONY CHARTS WERE LEFT OFF THE TABLE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EVASION, FALSE RETURN FOR 18 AND 2019. >> Dana: EVASION IN 14 AS I LEARN MORE ABOUT

THIS GOES BACK TO 2014, THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS THERE AND YET STILL WE ALSO HAVE THE VICE PRESIDENT SAYING THAT HE DID NOT TALK TO HIS SON OR HAVE THEY CHANGED THAT LANGUAGE A LITTLE BIT? >> Bill: IT'S INTERESTING. FOREVER YOU'LL RECALL THEY SAID JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER HAD ANY INVOLVEMENT IN HIS SON'S BUSINESS DEALINGS. IF YOU LISTEN TO THE PRESS SECRETARY IT'S STARTING TO BE

LIKE I WAS NEVER IN BUSINESS WITH MY SON. THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN I'VE NEVER HAD ANY INVOLVEMENT. OR NEVER TALKED TO HIM. THE GOALPOSTS ARE SLOWLY CHANGING. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR LISTENERS AND PEOPLE FOLLOWING THE STORY TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW THE LANGUAGE OF THEIR RESPONSE CHANGES OVER TIME. >> Bill: WE JUST HEARD DAVID SPUNT TALKING ABOUT IT. GARLAND IS SAYING THE U.S. ATTORNEY WEISS

AND GARLAND AND PUT THEIR CARDS ON THE TABLE AND SAY WHAT THEY KNOW. THERE IS PROBABLY A PAPER TRAIL. IF WEISS TRIED TO BRING CHARGES IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SOME OFFICIAL PAPER. WHERE IS THAT PAPER? WE NEED TO SEE THE RECEIPTS HERE. >> Dana: "NEW YORK TIMES," CALL FOR TWO. "THE NEW YORK TIMES" BASICALLY LOOK AT THIS WEB SCROLL HERE. YOU GET THIS

ARTICLE AND YOU GET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PAGE 21 WHERE YOU FIND THE WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMS AND THEN LOOK AT THIS HEADLINE FROM "THE NEW YORK TIMES" TODAY. HUNTER BIDEN ISN'T HIDING EVEN SOME DEMOCRATS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE THAT HIS PUBLIC APPEARANCES COME ACROSS AS A MESSAGE OF DEFIANCE BY THE PRESIDENT, DETERMINED TO SHOW HE STANDS BY HIS SON. IT ALSO INSURES, JOHN, THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING

TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT. THEY THOUGHT LAST WEEK, PLEA DEAL DONE, NOTHING MORE TO SEE HERE. IT SEEMS TO ME THE STORY HAS GROWN SINCE THEN. >> EVEN IN THE BEST CASE SCENARIO OF EVERYTHING WE'VE SEEN SO FAR HUNTER BIDEN IS A TAX CRIMINAL AND YOU SEE IT AT STATE DINNERS AND PUBLIC EMOTION BRAILLES BY THE WHITE HOUSE AND QUESTIONS WHETHER THE PRESIDENT

OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE PUBLICLY ASSOCIATING WITH SUCH A PERSON EVEN IF IT IS HIS SON. >> Dana: IT IS HIS SON AND THEY'LL STICK WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A DIFFICULT POSITION FOR THE PRESS SECRETARY TO BE IN AS WELL. THAT RELATIONSHIP IS SUPER TIGHT, IT SHOULD BE. SO WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO? WE'LL BE WATCH
