Here We Go Again - Hunter Biden Trial Begins Jury Selection

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I just I wonder we are dehumanizingpeople to a level that it's difficult to
reconcile. And that's that's my onlyfear. We are completely dehumanizing the family.
You know, the Laundry family shouldn'thave any great feelings of Brian Laundry
because he committed a murder and eventually, you know, committed suicide. It's

(00:23):
an incredibly tragic situation. We're goingto be mad at them because why exactly
because they try to protect their son. They could answer legally for not reporting
his whereabouts when they were told to. But to pretend like you would be
doing anything else in that scenario whenyou've not been in that scenario is a
very tough thing for me to swallow. I'm never going to tell people how

(00:48):
they should or should not support aloved one in their family. And that
was my thing when I saw someof this stuff in the Hunter case,
because obviously we're not to the caseyet, but you know, it's just
kind of like, why are peopleso angry that Jill was there? Why
are people so angry that Joe Bidenis doing this? It has nothing to
do with politics at this point,has everything to do with they're the parents
of this person, and this personis dealing with this situation. There was

(01:11):
a guy that I went to highschool with, very sad story. He
was dating a girl. She didn'twant to be with him anymore, so
she was standing outside somewhere in acentral Iowa city and he came and he
shot her. He shot a girlthat she was with, and then he
shot himself. Another just incredibly tragicsituation. But this guy was from where

(01:38):
I'm from, and I saw hisfamily and some close friends mourning him and
talking about how good of a personthey felt like he was. And from
an outside perspective, it's just like, how can you objectively say that after
what we have just witnessed. Butthey had twenty five years of his life
that they were together with him,They they raised him in things turned sideways

(02:00):
for him at some point, andwe're gonna judge them because why exactly they
aren't allowed to think of their lovedone in that way. I just I
want us to get a little moresensitive. I guess my hope. I'm
cheering. I'm rooting for us asa society to get more sensitive to that
sort of thing. Jill Joe Bidenbeing at all, you know, supportive

(02:22):
of Hunter Biden throughout this trial aslong as it doesn't take them away from
their current responsibilities and their jobs.I don't know why we should care that
much. Again, this isn't guncharge. This isn't one of the more
zesty kind of charges that you couldthrow at Hunter Biden that could implicate corruption
by his father. You're not goingto find that stuff out with this particular

(02:46):
trial, but we're gonna keep aneye on it either way for you,
And if you've got thoughts on it, you can call in four h two
five five eight eleven ten. Fourh two five five eight eleven ten.
You can also email me Emory atkfab dot com. Talk about doctor Fauci,
doctor Fouji. She questioned on CapitolHill about the origin of COVID nineteen
and the response, what are welearning today? We'll find out talk to

(03:07):
you about it next on news radioeleven ten KFAB. The Hunter Biden jury
selection is going on today and throughoutthis week in Wilmington, Delaware, and
I've seen a lot of discourse aboutthe support that Hunter Biden has received from
mom and dad, even though alot of people say, well, you
should distance himself from Hunter. Oh, how could they possibly support their son?

(03:29):
He's a criminal? And I'm justI question that. You know,
we staunchly support what the family issupposed to be in America, yet we're
so quick to tell people that theyshouldn't support the people that are in their
family. I don't know, butif you have any personal experience with something
like this, where it might bea conflict for a lot of people outside,

(03:50):
but you know for a fact thatyou should be there for this person
even if they have committed a wrong, they have done something wrong, or
they are accused of wrongdoing in someway. You can call in at four
two, five, five, eighteleven ten. We have Terry on the
line there. Terry, what's yourstory? Hi, Amory. I had

(04:10):
a friend that I went to highschool with and was in the Navy with
very very close, close, closefriend, and his teenage son committed a
murder and my daughter knew his son. They were the same age, and
it was just so much different beingon the side of the family. You

(04:33):
know, if it would have happenedto anybody else, I'd have said,
good Lord, where's his parent?You know? But his dad is a
super, super upstanding individual. AndI wish I could tell you who and
where he works, but I won't. But he's a super upstanding individual.
I would I think the world ofthis guy. At the funeral, he

(04:54):
just looked at me and he justwas lost for work. He said,
what do you do? I toldhim, you love your son. His
son committed suicide the same day anddean his son in the casket. Was
really troubling knowing who the young manwas and then knowing those hands, you

(05:16):
know, committed a murder. Beingon that side of it was really really
hard. I'd hear people all overin public saying, you know, God,
his parents should be killed. Thereare horrible people. They should you
know, sit in prison forever.But I knew his parents, so it
was hard. It was people don'tprobably understand what it's actually like knowing people

(05:39):
on that side. It's really hard. Terry, can I ask about the
he was an adult at this point, he was a high school student.
Okay, so you know there's alevel of free will that eventually like,
okay, so when a young person, you know, we had that couple
in Michigan that were arrested because they'relike thirteen or fourteen year old got possession

(06:00):
of their firearm and then used itto bring it to school and trying to
kill people. You know, thatis a like a I wasn't a responsible
gun owner. That doesn't make theminherently bad people, right right, This
I think is a good example ofkind of what I'm trying to talk about,
because you don't understand what those emotionswould be like, especially considering you

(06:25):
know that you knew these people foryears. I mean, this wasn't just
like somebody you met, and thiscould have been happening behind closed doors,
and this very troubled individual was beingraised and maybe abused or something, and
then they had some sort of issueand then they ended up committing a murder
and then killing themselves in a tragicsituation. But to put the blame on

(06:46):
the living parents or the parents whoof this person, and it doesn't even
have to be something this serious,you know, it could be something as
trivial as you know, shoplifting orsomething like that, which is still a
crime. But people are trying toblame people who are supportive or nearby these
people, as if they're supposed toabandon these people who they've been around their

(07:08):
entire lives and I'm with you,Terry. I don't know exactly what that's
like. I just know what it'slike from a little bit of a distance.
But as you can attest to inthis story right now, it definitely
created shockwaves and there's definitely a lotof remorse. But you still you got
to love your family, don't you. Well? And another example, I
have had an aunt and uncle they'reboth passed on that adopted well or not

(07:31):
adopted, but raised well over onehundred children as foster parents along with five
of their own, and they adoptedtwo of them, and one of them
was just this He was a greatlittle kid. Just loved him to death.
I mean, these people I didn'texactly have parents, and I would
have given anything to have them forparents, and they did everything they could

(07:54):
and they were such good people,and all of their natural kids are incredible
people. And this kid just pointdown the wrong path and there's nothing they
could do to write him. Youcan't fix everything, Yeah, Terry,
Well, I appreciate you calling in. That's a really good story about what

(08:16):
that struggle probably is like for peoplewho probably don't otherwise know. Thanks for
calling in, Terry. We appreciateyou listening. Thank you, Emory.
You had a couple of emails here, and they're from people that see what
I'm saying, but are saying theBidens should be a little bit of a
different story because Hunter's in his fiftiesand Hunter's been, you know, in

(08:37):
trouble several times. He's been dischargedfrom the military. He's not had a
very clean life, that's for sure, right, But would we be feeling
any differently if he wasn't the president, like the son of the President of
the United States, who we generallydon't like his politics. If this was
the corruption case, right, likeHunter was was dealing with foreign entities in

(09:01):
roping his father in and that corruptionline into the White House while he was
the vice president. If this wasthat trial, and Joe Biden has seriously
had something to worry about here,we could talk about how superficial that might
be. This is not that trial. This is a trial for a gun
charge, not the same thing.I still think at the end of the

(09:22):
day, Joe Biden's mom, JoeBiden's dad, and that's their son.
I'm not going to make much ofanything out of them supporting their son,
even if he has been a troublemakerthroughout his adult life. My mom always
said, doesn't matter how old Iget, doesn't matter how you know big
I get, doesn't matter how manyyears I have been alive on this earth,

(09:43):
She's still going to love me likeI'm her son. I don't graduate
from being her son at some point. That's that's where I'm at. I
guess on this you can have yourvoice heard, or if you got an
anecdote that you would like to shareabout something like this, I'd love to
hear from yet four h two fivefive eight eleven ten four h two five
five at eleven ten. You canalso email Emery atkfab dot com if you'd
rather go that direction. And we'llalso talk about the testimony in front of

(10:09):
Congressional Subcommittee by doctor Anthony Fauci todaylater on the show as well. So
stay tuned right here on news Radioeleven ten KFAB. I look at the
weather and stuff, and I toldyou it felt kind of warm today.
But it's a pretty big day ifyou're living in Omaha and you want a
little relief, isn't it it is? Yeah? Today? Yeah, today
is the day that city pools openin Omaha. Okay, Yeah, most

(10:33):
of them anyway. There's a couplethat opened June seventh, But for the
vast majority of city pools in Omaha, today is the day and it's a
great day for it. You know, you got that mid eighties temperatures and
humidity sticking around fifty percent sixty sixtytwo percent humidity and council bluffs. Yeah.
So I sat in the chair onFriday, and I knew that this

(10:56):
weekend I was busy. But thinkit to myself, Man, it's get
into that pool weather. I lovethat. You think we could do some
business with somebody and get ourselves outto a pool and do the show from
a pool, or do you thinkthat's dangerous considering the kind of equipment that
we would need to have somewhere closeto us. You'd want to make sure
you're nice and far from the splashzone. But that's a tough one because

(11:18):
you also want some of that ambientsound of the pool, the happiness,
the excitement of all the pool andthe splashes. You know, So I
don't know how you do that.You know what you'd need. You'd need
a not a sneeze guard, buta splash guard, a splash guard on
the equipment, a big thick plexiglasssplash guard, like the things that they

(11:39):
put around like the drum set atchurch exactly. Yes, you could probably
even you know what, you couldprobably borrow one of those, like,
hey, you're not playing the drumson a Monday, come on now.
Maybe even put some floats at thebottom of it, and you could be
like a floating radio show. Nowthat's a remote right there. Yeah,
so we could be in the water. We just couldn't get our our equipment

(12:01):
wet. There's a way to dothis. We're gonna give this a go.
It's also you know what, todayis World Bicycle Day. Oh I
want to ride my bis you go? Do you know? Do you have
do you do you like? Doyou have a bike? I used to
been thinking about getting back into thebicycle game. Not gonna lie me too,
Yeah, me too. It's agreat way to get exercise. You

(12:22):
can be out there for you know, twenty miles at a time, having
a lot of fun. We talkedand had fun about the recumbents, but
it's all bicycle days. So youknow, you have all these cool things
that are reminding us how fun andhow happy life can be when we just
don't bring ourselves down and have ahard time, you know, like thinking

(12:43):
about all the news of the dayand all the bad stuff that's going on.
I don't know there's a there's asignificant scenario, at least from where
I'm sitting that I just love analternate reality where we didn't all dislike each
other over the political nature. However, we are talking about the things that
are happening in the news, andthat includes the Hunter Biden jury selection for

(13:09):
his gun charge in Wilmington, Delaware, where the Biden family is from.
And I my point basically was,you know, I don't know how we
can get super sensitive about the Bidenparents, Joe and Jill supporting Hunter when
he, at the end of theday, is their son. I mean,
I'm not in a position to tellanybody how to treat their family,

(13:30):
and I don't have a kid ofmy own, but it's just weird to
me that, you know, we'recritical of that despite our political difference.
Obviously we know that the duty himselfis crooked and all that stuff, But
I don't know about getting on theparents for supporting a kid. Well,
if you got thoughts, you talkto me. Four two, five,
five, eight eleven ten, Michaelis on the phone line. Michael,
thank you for being on the showtoday. What's up, Hello, Emory,

(13:54):
Nice to speak to you again.I agree with you that family should
be of individuals. Sometimes you've gottennow. Hunter isn't an angel, that's
for sure. But sometimes I've hadfamily members and friends that did stupid things.
They made mistakes, and later theywere sorry for it, usually from

(14:15):
alcohol or something. But there's anotherpoint, Like now, I like them
being supportive of Hunter, but personally, I don't even like this case to
be up there now. There's nolove loss for me and the Bidens.
But I think they are misdirecting it. They're trying to direct everyone away from
all the possible treasonous corruption action andall the Chinese money going into all the

(14:37):
Biden family accounts, the gun thing. If they push this on Hunter Biden
them they're saying, listen, weprosecuted Hunter Biden on gun charges, and
I think it'll be harder for everybodyelse who owns a gun. I say,
drop the Hunter Biden case and focuson Biden, the corruption and the

(14:58):
money that comes in from and averties him with the border. Yeah.
No, Michael, I think you'reright, It kind of is a diversion.
And you know, a trial isa trial as far as the family
part of its concern. But thisdefinitely protects anybody else in the family because
nobody else is implicated in this particularcase. So if they did prosecute him,

(15:20):
they do find him guilty, hedoes find himself in jail or any
of the most severe nature of thosethings, I probably'd be pretty surprised,
especially at that kind of punishment.At the same time, it absolutely gives
this leeway between now and the electionsfor people to be like, look,
we went after Hunter, what doyou want from us, even though we
know that there were other things thatthey could have charged him with earlier to

(15:43):
connect him to corruption in the WhiteHouse when Joe was the vice president.
So I'm with you. I thinkdiversion is the right term for this case
as a whole charge is basically aclerical error. He marked the box correct,
right, Yeah, Yeah, Michael, appreciate you calling in man,
thanks for listening to us. Thanksmemory, Bud. Yeah, you know,

(16:07):
he's he's he's right. I mean, take the parent part of that
out of it. I mean,like, this is the least interesting thing
that you could charge Hunter Biden withlet's be honest. Uh, Ray wants
to go back to the bicycle cell. Hey Ray, what's on your mind?
Hey? Well, Hemory, youwere saying that, you know,
as a society, we don't wedon't get up and we don't do things
for fun. Yeah, and Ithink part of it could change if by

(16:33):
today you mentioned it's it's a NationalBike Day. Yeah, well I just
heard it. If I knew maybeFriday, that today was going to be
National Bike Day, then maybe Isay the wife, you know, hey,
when I get home, let's let'sgo out on a bike trail and
ride for a little bit. It'sNational Bike Day. Well yeah, right,

(16:56):
you know you could you could planit sure if you know ahead of
time. Okay, Well, Ray, I got a couple of things on
this front. First of all,I didn't even know it was world It's
World Bike Day, World Bicycle Day, so so World Bicycle Day. I
didn't know this until literally today.So I mean, if I would have
known ahead of time, I couldhave told you specifically ahead of time.
But I don't have one of thosebig old calendars that you know, like

(17:18):
have like all of the different days. You know, if I see one
like World Otter Day last week.Like I was like, oh, that's
a pretty cool one, and justyou know, mention that. But you
know what, right, The coolthing is World Bicycle Day can be any
day that you want. You canobserve it, you know, three hundred
days a year if you really wantedto. So you know, maybe you
could you like try to hustle backhome and uh, you know, go

(17:41):
on one of those trails. Butyou could also do that tomorrow or the
next day, or you could planfor Thursday or Friday or over the weekend,
and you could still like pretend likeit's World Bicycle Day because you're observing
the holiday, you know. Well, yeah, all I'm saying is if
you're trying to make a point outof selling rating whatever the day is,

(18:02):
you have to know what the dayis to celebrate it. That that.
I mean, it's true, it'strue. Ray. Unfortunately, I don't
want to I don't want to promiseyou that I'm gonna like tease a head.
No, no, no, I'mjust saying I think that could change
things, if you know, becauseI wouldn't know where to look if tomorrow
was National Pancake Day. Well theni'd take to my wife. Let's have

(18:23):
pancakes tomorrow for breakfast. Yeah,if I find out it for in the
afternoon, Well yeah, well I'vealready got steak on the grill. Well.
What's what's funny, Ray, isyou know we did find out World
Pancake Day while we were on theshow. You remember that one? Remember
that show? Yeah? I remember. Yeah, See I had pancakes for
dinner because that's how I found out, you know what I mean. But

(18:45):
I'll scout ahead and try to dosome of that work for us, and
if I notice any I'll let youknow. Ray, how's that that'd be
great? You have a great day, all right, buddy, appreciate you
listening. That's funny. Yeah,World Bicycle Day. You could still go
out and observe. It's gonna say, this evening looks like a perfect evening
for a bike. It's not eventhree o'clock yet. If you got a
bike like you're gonna have a chanceto go out and ride, assuming you

(19:07):
get off work between now and whenit gets dark. And some people like
to ride when it gets dark.They have the stuff that you let them
do that, you know what Imean. I don't know two forty nine.
You want to talk about bikes,You want to talk about Biden,
You want to talk about Fauci.We're gonna get to that too, coming
up, So stick around on newsradio eleven to ten kfab. I found
a website called timeand Date dot com, and they have a list of a

(19:29):
ton of different things, including alist of what I would consider fun holidays
that are assigned to certain dates.Matt, you want to know what days
the guy coming up this week?Sure? Well, excuse me. Today
is leave the office early Day.Oh really, yeah, I don't know
if we can get away with doingthat one. Today is also repeat day.

(19:52):
I also think that could get oldquickly? Is this is this Fungebob
SquarePants calendar? Is that? What? This is? Heat day? Like
in what sense? Like say something? Say something, say something, say
something, say something. That's whatI mean. Also, tomorrow is Hug
your Cat Day. Do you havea cat to hug? No, that

(20:14):
would not be good for me.I'm very allergic. Yeah, well even
then, cats generally don't like thatsort of thing. Oh yeah, they
don't, so good luck with that. They hug when they're ready, They
don't. I've never seen a catto be much of a hugger. On
Thursday, it's driving movie Day.It's kind of fun. Yeah, So
on Thursday, enjoy a drive inmovie. And then Friday, couple National
Donut Day, National Donut Day.Somebody get on the alert to the people

(20:38):
that are here in the mornings soI can run into a donut or two.
So Donut Day. And then alsoon Friday, guess what, it's
VCR Day. You still got oneof those bad boys hanging around the house.
I do not. In fact,I googled this once. They're hard
to find and they're pretty expensive.Yeah. Why because you think people are

(21:00):
age or really just feeling like peopleour age are trying to get nostalgic.
Yeah, and I mean they don'tmake them anymore. And maybe you have
some tapes that you can't get DVDsfor and that's your only means of playing
them, kind of deal. Ihave some vhs, so it'd be fun
to like mess with the tracking rememberthose days. But you know what I

(21:22):
did last night? I got backfrom my family get together and I watched
this guy made a video of sometornadoes, like some of the most interesting
tornadoes of all time. Mm hmm. But you want to know. It
led me down a rabbit hole ofwatching old Weather Channel footage from the nineteen
nineties m where it's like the WeatherChannel and they're doing like the forecasts and

(21:42):
stuff, and then they do thelocal forecast like on the eights, and
you're just sitting there like it's likea five hour mam. You're just like
back in the nineties, and youcan see like some of the weird TV
tracking stuff and the old nineties WeatherChannel music. It really took me.
I can see why people would wantto invest in feeling that feeling. We'll

(22:03):
talk about anything going on in thenews and doctor Fauci's testimony on Capitol Hill
next on news radio eleven ten kfab
