1. Introduction to the Biden Cover-Up Allegations
The episode kicks off with Buck Sexton introducing the pressing issue of President Biden's supposed attempts to conceal significant health problems. The conversation is set against the backdrop of increasing skepticism about the administration's transparency.
Joe Getty [03:15]: "What is the point of the Jake Tapper apology tour? That's not really about apologizing. It's really more of the, hey, we're so dumb. We couldn't figure out in the D.C. press corps what everybody else knew, but somehow we went along with this nobody knew thing until the debate. What's going on here?"
2. Jake Tapper's Apology Tour and Media Scrutiny
Joe Getty critiques CNN's Jake Tapper for what he perceives as a feeble attempt to regain credibility through an "apology tour" following perceived failures in investigative journalism related to President Biden.
Joe Getty [07:17]: "Are any of your Daily Caller colleagues planning to or do they have a scheduled that you know, interview with Tapper on this one? Is he? Because he should... Shouldn't he be willing to talk to the people who were correct about this issue or is he only going to go for the most part?"
3. Timing of Biden's Cancer Diagnosis
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the suspicious timing of President Biden's cancer diagnosis revelation, which many believe aligns with political maneuvers and book releases aimed at shifting public focus.
Joe Getty [05:56]: "I'm seeing a lot of experts come out and suggest it's almost impossible that they didn't know about this particular type of cancer a long time ago."
Ashley Brassfield [06:18]: "Right. Well, I think as journalists, you are not doing your job if you're not looking into this. The timing is not making sense with the release, especially with this book with Jake Tapper going on..."
4. Hunter Biden and the Family Scandal
The conversation shifts to Hunter Biden, highlighting ongoing scandals involving his business dealings and personal life, which further tarnish the Biden administration's reputation.
Joe Getty [09:56]: "I remember on, on my radio show with Clay and even before that when I was doing radio solo in the evenings, just talking about the Hunter Biden laptop stuff and the prostitutes, the drugs, the crack, the baby with the stripper, that he denied that then his dad, the president denied..."
Ashley Brassfield [10:44]: "Yeah, it's really incredible. And you got to give credit where credit's due with the Trump family. You know, you never see this with them at all. They've come out pretty clean. But yeah, it's kind of frightening to see..."
5. Media's Role and Political Tactics
Getty and Brassfield discuss how mainstream media outlets like CNN may be using the Biden cover-up narrative to regain lost credibility, employing tactics that blend investigative reporting with political strategy.
Ashley Brassfield [07:59]: "But I also think there's a factor of this that this is possibly a ploy by CNN to basically further get more credibility from their network that they've lost ever since the election in 2024..."
6. Transgender Issues in Women's Sports
Shifting focus, the episode explores the contentious debate over transgender athletes in women's sports, particularly highlighting recent political maneuvers in Pennsylvania that have sparked widespread controversy.
Joe Getty [14:27]: "Tell us about this situation in Pennsylvania, which again, feels like this has got to be a political loser for them."
Ashley Brassfield [14:27]: "Yeah, I think the exact same. I'm a former Division 1 athlete myself... It's one of the things I'm passionate about covering, actually."
7. Broader Implications for American Politics
The discussion culminates in a broader analysis of how these issues reflect deeper fractures within American politics, with Getty emphasizing the contrast between the Biden family's controversies and the perceived integrity of the Trump family.
Joe Getty [10:44]: "You could sit here. I mean, people have written whole books, you know, Miranda Devine's a friend, she wrote a whole book on this... Who's scummy are the Clintons or the Bidens? And we got a solid majority of people in this non-scientific poll who think the Bidens are scummier as a family than the Clintons..."
8. Conclusion and Future Outlook
As the episode wraps up, Getty and Brassfield underscore the importance of vigilant journalism and active public discourse to hold political figures accountable.
Ashley Brassfield [18:22]: "Yeah. So Capitol Hill is the plan right now. Just reporting on a lot of different stuff... I'm very curious. Love talking about a lot of topics but I think Capitol Hill will be the focus."
