On Hugh Hewitt

"...Let's take stock about the situation with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. Hunter Biden was hired by a Ukrainian oligarch for $50,000 a month. A month! Not a year, a month-$50,000 a month. At a time when he was a known alcoholic and drug addict, who had no experience whatsoever in Ukraine or in the oil and gas industry. What do we think that oligarch believed he was buying? He was buying access and influence to the Biden family. And sure enough, there's Vice President Joe Biden on camera bragging and boasting about how he flew into Kiev and got all chesty and told Poroshenko, the president at the time, to fire the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's patrons. And lo and behold, threatening to withhold a billion dollars of U.S. aid to Ukraine if they didn't fire the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden's patrons. Now, maybe there's nothing there, Hugh. Maybe everything is on the up and up. But surely the American people deserve to know what exactly happened and that that investigation itself was tainted by corruption."

"The main thing he was being paid $50,000 a month to do was be the Vice President of the United States' son. Look, Hugh, there's a local angle to this as well, if you want to know a little bit about Hunter Biden's character. There is a young woman, in her twenties, in Arkansas, who has filed a paternity suit in Arkansas state court against Hunter Biden. And he is dodging process and has done so for months. He is literally hiding out from process servers so he doesn't have to submit to a DNA test. He claims that he's not the father of this child. If that's the case, why doesn't he just accept process and provide a DNA sample? But no, he is literally hiding out from those working for a young woman in Arkansas who is raising a child by herself after she's filed suit against Hunter Biden in Arkansas state court."
