Join Jim and Greg as they have a lot to say about Hunter Biden finally facing federal charges, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitting some of the most repressive COVID restrictions were not based on science at all, and the Justice Department saying we can't hear the audio of President Biden's conversation with the special counsel because of concern over artificial intelligence "deepfakes."
First, they're glad that Hunter Biden is finally facing federal charges for lying about his drug use on federal forms when buying a gun years ago. They also pull no punches in response to the excuse that Biden's legal team offered for why Hunter should not be held responsible for lying about his drug use on the forms.
Next, they skewer Dr. Anthony Fauci after the former NIH head of allergies and infectious diseases admits to lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing rule and the decision to mandate the masking of kids was not based on science. And Fauci still disputes whether closing schools and extended online learning and mandatory masking stunted kids' educational progress.
Finally, they blast the Justice Department for the utterly stupid explanation that it cannot release the audio of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur over Biden's mishandling of classified documents. The DOJ insists that it must keep the audio under wraps because there is great concern that bad actors could create artificial intelligence "deepfakes" of Biden using the audio.

How could any Deep fake be worse than Burima Joe?

This should never be considered as some kind of "paperwork crime" etc, the point is that lying on the documents meant that he illegally purchased and possessed the gun.

Do they think someone can somehow create "deepfakes" worse than what FJB has already said and done?

FJB's "statement" about his son was interesting, I wonder who wrote it for him?

Jim used JFK's Camelot as an example of a Presidential campaign's branding of the candidate. I forget the radio talk show where I first heard it, probably Rush but could have been someone else, but Camelot was first used by Jackie after the assassination to shape the public's perception of JFK's presidency. Growing up, I heard of JFK and Camelot but didn't know when it came about.
