The Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the corruption of the federal government, and the role these large tech companies play. Without further ado, the mic is on, and welcome back, Mark. Mark Lennon, thanks for coming back. I appreciate, you know, I don't think I've ever had anybody on such a quick turnaround from a couple of weeks ago when you were on. I'm flattered, thanks for having me back. Well, you know, there's just so much going on right now that, you know, I just, your insight and your feedback is something that I, you know, as these issues, as things have come up, I just really value your insight and your opinions on a lot of this stuff. So, you know, with everything going on that happened even in the past week, you know, with, with Hunter Biden and, you know, with Moscow and Ukraine, you know, I wanted to get your take on what's going on. And, you know, maybe we start there and, you know, I'm going to actually pose a question to you really quick because I can't get an answer out of anybody that I've asked this of. You know, Joe Biden's been in public service for 47 years, and he's, and he's not hit, hidden the fact that he's been in public service for that long. How do you become a multi-millionaire when you're doing, when you're in public service for that long? Well, it all came after his term as vice president, at least at the vast bulk of it between him and his wife. There are, I did look at a few reports on that. Very high fees for speeches and such. I believe they've reported $20 million in total income since he left office. And, you know, his wife is on the staff at University of Pennsylvania, I believe, or wherever she teaches. She's at a different school, actually. He is on the staff there. He's gotten, I think, $400,000 a year there, probably for doing nothing. But between that and the other things he's done, I think most of it has come from his post post Obama administration work. Was he a millionaire though, before he took office, before he became vice president? Doubtful, I, to my knowledge, his wife did not have any means. I don't think he married him to have money. Traditionally, he had a very modest house in Delaware. I think he has several now, but he always certainly maintained the show that he was a modest means, taking him track home every night. So, and I know his second wife is a, because he was married, his wife was killed, I believe, in a car accident, his first wife. That's right, a true tragedy there. And the second wife, I believe, was a teacher, now as a doctor. I don't know about the doctor part, if she's a physician or a PhD or what, but she is a teacher. So, with everything that's happened this week, you know, you're obviously keeping up with it, with his son Hunter, and both in the Ukraine and then with the Russian mayor's wife. You know, what do you make of all this? I think there are three scandals going on here that should terrify every American, no matter what you think of the Bidens or of Trump. The first one is the scandal, and I do think it's a proven scandal regarding the text mails themselves, the emails rather, that are on the computer. Those are pretty much verified. We know what's in them. We know what's been said. The Director of National Intelligence came out and said this is not something from a Russian hoax. The FBI came out the next day and said they had nothing to add to that. There's no reason to question the authenticity of the computer or those emails. If they were fabricated in somehow, that would have been shown somehow. It shouldn't be difficult at all to validate these things. There's metadata attached to every email that is basically the coded information that routes any email through the Internet.
