Not please the white house. The ag named david weiss the trump appointed u. S. Attorney in delaware who has been investigating hunter biden four years has a Special Counsel giving them greater powers and more independence. David weiss requested the move. Suddenly, constant coverage of hunter biden despite the Media Obsession with donald trump. Hunter bidens pleabargain on tax and gun charges spirit in him jail time fell apart. Now weiss will probably take it to trial. Even my devon archer testified next week that Vice President joe biden joined 20 Speaker Phone Calls with hunter and his associates and said the vp dying twice at a Fancy Georgetown Restaurant For The First Time the Hunter Scandal is getting too big for the media to ignore. I am howard kurtz, this is the mediabuzz. Howard the media has been a prime target as the pundits are debating whether Hunter Biden Story deserves more attention and now that question reverberates even more loudly. This is an investigation, it is a coverup, bidens attorney general, Merrick Garland handpicks the same delaware prosecutor who has been covering for the biden for the last 25 years. You would think the republicans would be thrilled by this news. No this republican party, you would think they would get a Special Counsel for hunter biden, alright, giddyup, we won. Weiss role is to write a Report To ExculpatePresident Biden. He spent all of these years steering the investigation away from biden. You are absolutely disgusting if you are going to forget this type of behavior. I say that to the republican establishment. There is to standards of justice here, Hunter Bidens laptop, and over here we are talking about in illegal scheme. Howard in new mexico the other day the president invited Fox Peter Doocy to a restricted area. There is a testimony now where one of your sons former Business Associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business. We never talk business. I knew you would have a lousy question. Why is that a lousy question. It is not true. Joining us now to analyze the coverage from nashville clay travis the founder and cohost of syndicated radio show and author of american playbook, a guy for winning back the country from the democrats. In Los Angeles Leslie marshall, the radio host and fox news contributor. Most Media Conservatives are ripping Merrick Garland for making u. S. Attorney david weiss the Special Counsel even though this is probably headed to trial. Hunter could see jail time and with all Special Counsels is probably going to drag on for months as they look at new avenues. That will coincide with President Bidens relation campaign. I think the challenge here, doing a Special Counsel with the right decision. 100 the right decision. The problem is we saw the sweetheart deal, we saw the rig job that they tried to ram through as it pertains to the plea agreement. If the judge in delaware had not asked the most basic questions including whether or not was this dealing with the tax fraud issues and t as well as the gun charges but also for failure to register as a Foreign Agent potentially Going Forward and she saw and uncovered there was in fact an attempt to basically sweep everything hunter biden had done under the rug for no consequential punishment. If this u. S. Attorney david weiss would agree to this deal i think there is a concern that the rig job still may be in effect even though the Special Counsel was the right move and we shouldve had it years ago. Howard let me redo my favorite sentence to the New York Times coverage and that we will get to a question. He says the Hunter Allegations may even break out of the Conservative Echo Chamber to the general public which is largely not paid much attention until now. The Mainstream Media have not covered it until now. But on this question of david weiss, trump appointed, republicans have said they want a Special Counsel. Clay said he wanted a Special Counsel. As a negative reaction suggests that no matter what Merrick Garland did that it would be a lot of criticism . You when the new car. Yes. Absolutely. Marsha blackburn put it in writing that she wanted the Special Counsel in the first conservative outofthebox complaining about a Special Counsel. By the way appointment of a Special Counsel does not necessarily lead to jail time whether hunter biden or anyone else. Republican or a democrat president family member. Here is the problem it is not that it was not covered. When i knew we were going to talk about this i went back and look to every single network, all the Major Networks have covered this. When we look at the Cable Network such as msnbc which is largely liberal audience that a been complaining about how much coverage they had on msnbc and cnn there had been repeated interviews whether of james comer for other people involved in this very heavily outspoken, jay tapper, i think what it comes down to, we hate donald trump more, recovering him more. When you look at and look back, donald trump has acrosstheboard more ratings for people than hunter biden read one it is a business, to, the voters dont care left or right about hunter biden, they care about the top issues, this is a Kitchen Table voter issue acrosstheboard whether youre a democrat, republican, independent or havent decided to claim. Howard im sure a claim i take issue. Im not saying with any coverage at all a comparison with what happened on friday and now i think it would be possible to ignore. Why do you think the Mainstream Media, lets just say went pretty lightly on these allegations against hunter biden . I think because they initially covered the 51 intelligence agents who tried to claim that there was absolutely no truth to the Hunter Biden Laptop in the first place. Remember they said they had all the hallmarks of Russian Disinformation which allowed joe biden to be able to break out in the debate. The idea that there was absolutely no suggestion that his son was involved in any way and improper behavior. And the laptop was not real. Remember this is a function with bare minimum of coverage. Msnbc, abc, cbs, and the Washington Post in the New York Times. Over half according to a recent poll of democrat voters still believe the lie that the Hunter Biden Laptop was in fact Russian Disinformation. I think what happened the media bought the lie, they did not cover it they argued that the expose was trumped up and not reality. They covered it up on twitter and facebook and fbi refused to acknowledge the truth which acknowledge the laptop was real and they knew it was real. All of that now there is an embarrassment with all the connections that actually exist between hunter biden and all of the foreign entities that we are paying as well i believe joe biden because the new argument now, joe biden himself had nothing to do with it. And theres a lot of evidence joe biden was very involved in Hunter Bidens business deal. Howard lets get into that in a moment. Leslie do you think there wouldve been the same level of coverage on msnbc for an example if this was a republican president and his family talking about shell companies, millions of dollars. Have a hard time believing that. Any network is going to do whats best for their bottom line, they are a business and the bottom line dictated by ratings, thats how they get the advertising dollars. Any network is going to put out the story and going to appeal to their base to their viewers certainly do i think they will be more coverage on msnbc if this were donald trump and one of his kids, probably. Like i said im a Liberal Democrat and the people on my side of the aisle of watching msnbc have been complaining that msnbc has been covering it in a couple more points. Even steve ducey played peter doocy, his dad said on our network, theyve not shown joe biden profited personally or broken any rules, what law did he break i think this is a question even some Republican Voters asked hunter biden is not running for office, he is the son of somebody who is running an office and running for office. It is clear that on my side of the aisle there trying to use hunter biden to take down joe biden to have an excuse to impeach because republicans have been promising Kevin Mccarthy has to deliver an impeachment if you put us in power and if we have control of the house we are going to impeach. Howard i dont think theres any question even people on the liberal side the hunter biden engaged in a lot of sleazy backbreaking, he admitted and then email that they were interested in his last name he knew what was going on. He knew what was going on over the Speaker Phone Calls. When you have devon archer the former friend and business part under partner testifying vp biden got on 20 Speaker Phone Calls with hunter and his associates. He didnt talk business he talked about the weather. The fact that you can get the Vice President of the United States on the phone repeatedly is the way washington works is an indication that you have clout. I run a lot of businesses, i sold one to fox two years ago, do not many times my dad has been on a Business Call in my entire career, 0. And i bet almost everybody out there in less than business with her dad, their dad has not been on the phone to talk to their Business Partners 20 times. I think this is important, the new argument, hunter may have been sleazy as you said, hunter may have been a criminal but his dad was not connected at all. There are actually a ton that criminal allegations that joe biden was involved. I think that this is my theory when joe biden got passed over for hillary clinton, i think he knew his political career believed his critical career was over lets turn on the money spigot its time to cash in on my career because im probably not going to have a career Going Forward, politically but start making money. 10 for the big guy, the text message, the whatsapp from hunter biden threatening his chinese Business Partners if he did not get paid immediately there would be hell to pay while saying he was sitting next to his dad. The 20 calls as you mentioned, breeze must prosecutor being fired, the Russian Oligarch patriot halfmillion dollars left off any list of impropriety there, theres tons of evidence that the Biden Department of justice has covered up, look at the testimony under oath of the two irs agent, all that is credible far more credible than russia collusion or anything about the steele dossier with the media covered by crazy. Howard i had to get a break and i want to make the point, you said yours was a theory and there is no evidence despite some claims that money actually went to joe biden, if there is and is over. Hold on, the evidence is there, its not cooperated, i just laid out the evidence. Howard i will be happy to spend the whole show when it once its cooperated.

Howard when President Kennedy was in office his tenure was described as the time of camelot, Jackie Kennedy was the one who started that. Now the family is in turmoil over the democratic candidacy of kennedy junior. They did not want to criticize them, jfks Grandson Jack Slosberg says his candidacy is a vanity project. He is trading and on camelot, celebrity, Conspiracy Theories and conflict on personal gain and fame. I have listened to him. I know him. I have no idea like anyone thinks he should be president. What i do know is, his candidacy is an embarrassment. Howard clay, whatever you think of the kennedys to watch 70 like that denounce rfk junior is kind of sad. It is. I give credit to rfk junior, we had about the radio show. I think he believes wholeheartedly in the ideas that he is advocating for and i think there is a substantial percentage of both democrat, republican and independent voters that dubai again to what he is selling. Hes been as high as 20 i think in the democrat primary. I even think this may be a little bit crazy, i dont know what you guys think. It would not stand me if trump considered rfk junior as a running mate. I think the antiestablishment vibe of rfk junior and trump in 16 duck tales, that does not seemed like a crazy idea to me. Howard he has a lot of republican fans. Hes privately complained to his relatives but told cnn i bear them no will ill families can disagree and love each other. That is true. I have people in my family that are democrat, married to republican and they certainly disagree although my cousin did make her husband sleep on the couch when he voted for trump. I am from massachusetts and without saying how, my family knows the kennedys. I went to the compound but i was a kid. The Kennedy Family is a close family. Their protective family and very protective family not only of its members but of its name. One of the problems is not what rfk junior is saying about vaccines to start. It was the antisomatic rhetoric that came out that was hurtful to the young man jfks grandson whose father is jewish, his mother not still married to their dad, married a jewish man and this is a stain on the name, things that are coming out of his mouth are a stain on the name. Also they are largely very strong supporters of the democrats, the Democratic Party in a democratic president. Howard i knew jfk junior and ted kennedy when he had his losing bid for president. This is not being about a bad candidate. Abbottabad candidates. They say vaccines cause autism, wifi causes cancer, antidepressants cause mass shootings. You seem to like rfk junior but a lot of Scientists Say he is spreading things that are not true. Leslie said he was a stain on the kennedy name. Teddy kennedy killed a woman and managed to continue to serve in the senate for decades. You might disagree with rfk juniors opinion on anything under the sun as you just laid out, that is fine that is how marketplace of ideas work. So far as im aware he has not killed anyone. If you get to talk about anybody being a stain on the kennedy name, i think you have to start with Teddy Kennedy and i havent heard anybody say the innocent girl that my uncle killed deserved better but they are upset because rfk junior is saying things that they dont like while running for president , give me a break. I know rfk doesnt get a share fake from the media. And there have been others that say hes an embarrassment. The kennedys were like one of the royal families of politics. And he wasnt the only one that did bad or questionable stuff and only one is goi
