et. They had to do it anyway. There's time to do it. They didn't want the most showy or expensive alternative. And that's definitely not a showy car. You know, you would not feel like you were riding any kind of luxury vehicle. It's just a real very functional and they also have great steering and performance and power. So if you wanted a car that gave you good security, you probably want something that's got a little muscle in it. So that's good that way, too.

All right. Did you see that on the Shawn Ryan podcast, Hunter Biden went on and made some claims that — well, again, I want you to decide if this is true. Hunter claims that he has no memory of ever dropping a laptop off at a laptop repair place and that the laptops are fake, not the content. So he does not say the content is fake. What he says is that the laptops are essentially fake because they're cobbled together by files that have been stolen from him off his phone plus off of other digital devices.

So his claim is that there never was a laptop that the laptop was put together by some kind of enemy and then dropped off so that they would be discovered and made public. Now, he also claims that it's absurd to believe that the laptop guy, the first thing he would do when the laptop was left there and nobody claimed it, that it would be absurd to think that the first thing he did would be to call Rudy Giuliani's lawyer.

Now if that had actually happened, and it turns out that never happened, that it was not the first place he claimed to look that the first place, I think, was the FBI. It would have been pretty weird if he had been right that the first thing that the laptop repair guy did was call Rudy Giuliani's lawyer, but that didn't happen. So we know he lied about the Rudy Giuliani part.

But here's the interesting thing, and maybe some of you are having the same experience. Five years ago, if I heard him tell a story like that that the laptop never existed, I would have said, come on, obviously it existed and there was more than one and blah blah blah. But in the last five years, we'd found out so many things that we thought were true turned out to be absolutely hoaxes. I mean, just so many things are not true that it's almost as if if it's in the news, it's not true. Do you feel that? There is so much not true about every single story we watch that I say to myself is that possible you know that the Rudy Giuliani thing is a red flag obviously but is it possible that the laptops never existed? What do you think?

Yeah. So here's my BS filter on that. It doesn't feel to me that I would be hearing this for the first time today, yesterday. Do you think that if Hunter and his lawyers have known forever, because they would know for sure, right? I feel like Hunter wouldn't forget a laptop being dropped off. No matter how high you are, you wouldn't forget that. You wouldn't not know that you used to have a laptop and not now you don't.

So if he's known this from the start, why are you and I just hearing about it this week? Does that make sense? All right. So given that I can't imagine they would have held that until the Shawn Ryan podcast at the end of 2025, I'm going to say it sounds a little bit I don't know if it changes anything. I don't know why he would lie about it. Because he does not deny the content and the content obviously is a bad part. I guess he's suggesting that he's some guy who got framed by enemies.

Is it possible that he's guilty of all the things that are on the laptop? He's not denying any of that. But is it possible that he was framed by somebody cobbling together files and putting them on a laptop? I'm going to say if we had heard about this early on, I might have been inclined to say, well, maybe. But the fact that I hadn't even heard of it until now sort of suggests he's trying to rewrite history. So I'm going to lean toward not trusting Hunter Biden, which seems like a good bet.
