It was a hard day in court for members of the Biden family. At one point, Ashley Biden, Hunter's sister seemed to grow emotional dabbed her eyes with a tissue, and first Lady Jill Biden, their mother put her arms around her to comfort her.

How about that tone of voice there? What problem? I think? That's ABC News. How about that tone of voice? Now? Tell me they would go with that.

Tone of voice if it was Melania Trump putting her arm around somebody testimony that you know Eric Trump was a drug addict and how he had lived, they would go with the it's so sad to see a family turn about tartopart by drugs.

Give me a break, and so beautiful to see the mother comfort the daughter. The mother, of course a doctor, doctor Jill Biden, not a real mom.

Y ah.

So all right, that was the fawning, ridiculous coverage on ABC. Let's grow up a little bit, David spunt here and clip eighty please.

Michael Hunter.

Biden left the Federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, after a dramatic moment when jurors heard the president's son, in his own words, discuss his drug addiction. Prosecutors played portions of Hunter's audio memoir Beautiful Things. Of the quotes played in Hunter's voice quote crack takes you into the darkest recesses of your soul as well as the darkest corners of every community.

End quote.

His sister Ashley Biden seem getting emotional with the first Lady, Jill Biden, putting her arm around her. Prosecutors told jurors, while drug addiction may not be a choice, owning a gun as a drug user and lying to buy that gun is a choice.

Interesting point on that of First of all, what was he thinking when he wrote that memoir? Did he not know he's going to have all these taxing guns and legal problems coming down the road, And may he shouldn't Anyway, I was listened to one of my favorite Second Amendment enthusiast people punditoring yesterday about this whole thing, and I didn't know. There's a lot of gun rights activists don't like these laws that you can't own a gun if you're a drug addict. Using my finger quotes, because who decides who's a drug addict and when? So, if I do drugs on the weekends but my guns are all locked up, I'm not allowed to have a gun. At what point do I become an addict? In whose mind?

I mean, there's no test for that or qualification.

Really, I mean it should be against the law to be high on meth and use a gun. But at what point are you a drug addict?

According to who?

That?

Which is a decent question. I've never heard that pose before.

Yeah, I've got to admit my interest in this trial does not run very deep. It will affect the lives of mister and missus American Little America Junior. Not a wit No, But there are a couple of aspects of it that I find either a entertainingly ironic or kind of tangentially significant. Number One, his papa wrote a lot of those laws and forcefully advocated for them. His papa who also has been shouting that the rich need to pay their fair share of taxes for a very long time, and then is now pushing the fact that white people, white supremacy, they get all away with more. His rich, white and titled son did lots of drugs, owned a gun anyway, and skipped out on his taxes. The irony is just a little delicious.

Hunter, you're a loser. It's no need to get personal.

The other part of this that I think has at least a little oh by the way, the well heck, we get to have David Spunt explain it. Here is the defense in eighty one. Then I'll get to the other significant thing.

Hunter's attorney Abby Lowell told the jury today that the President's son was abusing alcohol, not drugs, when he bought the handgun. He owned it for eleven days. Lowell claims Hunter was rushed by a local sales clerk at the Wilmington, Delaware store. Lowell told jurors the Special Council cannot establish a chain of custody of the gun pouch that had what is alleged to be cocaine residue, putting blame on Hunter's sister in law, Halle Biden, his late brother's widow. Lowell insists Halle Biden panicked when she found the gun in Hunter's car, put it in the pouch, and threw it in a garbage can outside a local grocery store.

God you gotta say though, as grandma and grandpa or mom and dad, depending on who you're talking about here, dealing with this whole thing of death and people getting together and drugs and guns and spending money and having babies and whether or not we acknowledge the grandkid and who that is a heap and help in a family drama.

Yipes.

Yeah, yeah, in one of those situations where the best outcome is going to be pretty rotten. Oh yeah, you feel for them money human level. On the other hand, you know, kids don't do drugs. So one significant part of this trial is that the laptop, the infamous laptop, which is actually there in the court they're waving it around as evidence, is going to be a big part of the trial, and it's worth us remembering, I think, as Americans, some of the details of the history of the laptop, including in the twenty twenty presidential debate when old Man Biden made two public and phony claims. The first was that Hunter never took money from China, and last July, Hunter Biden admitted in court that he'd earned six hundred and sixty four thousand dollars from a Chinese energy company backed by the Communist Party. But the other debate whopper was about the laptop. Biden dismissed it as fake. I should ask for this clip, but I have the tape anyway, I'm sorry the transcript quote. Look, there are fifty former national intelligence folks who said that what this he's accusing me of is a Russian plant.

They have said that this has all the characteristics.

Four or five former heads of the both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except him and his friend Rudy Giuliani. Well, the Biden Justice Department believes it too. And since the last election, we've heard testimony from Mike Morrell, the former CIA deputy director, that that infamous letter was done at Anthony Blincoln's behested. Blincoln was then a senior advisor to the Biden campaign. He's now Secretary of State. But Blincoln reached out to all those current and former intelligence officials who said, Hey, the one thing we got to make sure is Trump isn't president, So can you guys sign a letter and say this is this is phony. And the FBI had authenticated that a year ago. The FBI and the Department of Justice knew it was not a Russian plant for a year before Biden made those statements in the debate.

That's worth reminding yourself of. That should be such.

A bigger story and more well known, and hardly anybody knows that, and it'll be lost to history. That is just awful that I heard that way. What it made a difference in the election, I don't know, but we should. I mean, if you're gonna make the argument that it was a huge deal that Trump was trying to hide his affair with a porn star even though everybody knew it happened, and that that was a huge you know, oh my gosh, you can't have that sort of obstruction election interference compared to this. Well, right, and then you have Hillary and her folks hiring Christopher Steele to produce the Steele dossier and go on that trip and talk to all sorts of Russians and cook up a bunch of crap. But she then disguised those payments as legal expenses and paid a six figure fine to the FEC for misrepresenting campaign money as legal money, which is.

Precisely what Trump was just tried for. It's just.

The idea that Trump undermines democracy has some truth to it, but heck, he's a boy scout compared to the Democrats. They'll undermine anything. Maureen Dowd in the New York Times, Man, I'm just on rembling stream of conscious now consciousness.

She has this column in.

Which she just states that the Supreme Court is utterly corrupt. It's decayed from the inside. It is no longer one of our great institutions. It should be torn down or packed or whatever. Based on the freaking Alito flag thing. Wow, and the alleged conflicts of interest of.

Clarence Dooms Thomas. Yeah.

Yeah, it's just it's shockingly unpatriotic.

So Hunter Owes and I don't know if this matters. Is this matter in the court, I don't know. It's gonna come out.

It's gonna be.

Part of the Is this gonna be part of the tax So this, this gun one's getting too much attention and not enough attention for the fact that in September is gonna be the tax trial with Hunter, like September with an election in November, and that stuff is going to touch on the family or at the very least, you know, influence peddling of his dad. Whether his dad, you know, gets tied to it or not. I mean, it's gonna be a way more politically explosive closer to the election trial. But anyway, anyway, I don't remember which trial. It's gonna be a point that he owes either his first wife or Bow's widow.

He was also with two million dollars in back spousal support.

He went through two different families, money, smoking crack every fifteen minutes.

I mean he was and he was like fifty when he was doing this. He is so far off the rails. It's amazing.

He probably was rooting through his stripper girlfriend's purse. Well, he was over at her place too.

It's quite amazing. It's amazing he lived through it. Actually, most people die with that lifestyle.

Yeah, true enough.

The other significant part of the tax case that is much bigger than whether Hunter Biden knows a bunch of tacks is the utterly unjust and corrupt behavior of David Weiss, the special prosecutor, with that unholy plea deal, which was an open contemptuous corruption of justice, Dragon me feat letting the Statute of limitations go, and the rest of it. I mean, man, that is that is some serious malfeasans.

You're right about that, But man, I can't gloss over the he owes a bunch of back taxes. As you said, rich white kid who doesn't follow his dad's gun laws or his dad's tax policy. I mean, you got a lecturous your whole life about the rich not paying their fair share.

And your son doesn't pay taxes because he's rich and privileged. Oh my god.

And those who say, well, he paid back those taxes. No, that rich Hollywood weirdo producer guy paid them right for some reason?

Is sugar Daddy that nobody can understand?

Why is this guy like Hunter Biden so much and that guy's gone through all of his money? It would appear, what is it that the story there that's gonna come out at some point there's something going on there.

Yeah.

Yeah, it could be as simple as a Chinatown style. He needs a nod from somebody for a real estate deal, and he you know, if Joe Biden picks up the phone, that deal is done.

Right exactly, We're gonna We're gonna pick you up on the back end, because why would he go through seven million dollars of his personal wealth until he's out of money to help out Hunter Biden, who he met at an art auction.

It's simple. They love each other. I don't think it's that.

It's a there's there's some promise that we're gonna we're gonna fix this for you.

It's gotta be.

Yeah, who meets somebody or was it a fundraiser wherever they at?

Who meets anybody at some gathering and things.

Hey, by the way, if you get yourself into horrible legal trouble with a series of eight million, horrible decisions, I'm willing to give you millions of dollars to help you out.

When does that happen? I know it's inexplicable, it's crazy. Oh oh.

And the other thing I'm sorry I'm going to pile on again is to remind everybody that the Intelligence Services and the Justice Department and the big social media companies all ban got together to ban the Hunter's laptop story. You remember, the New York Post got their Twitter account suspended, frozen for daring to tell a story that was true because it was misinformation and disinformation. I tell you what, why don't you let me figure out what's misinformation?

Facebook? Twitter?

No?

Longer under the control of the old guys.

Again, it will be lost to history and most people don't even think about this story.

But huge, huge, that that happened right before an election.

I mean just absolutely one of the biggest suppressing of informations before an election. Maybe that's ever happened in American history and be lost to history.

So frustrating.

We got a lot more to talk about the kind of a lost Part of some of the testimony with A. G. Garland was the stuff about his concern regarding a terrorist attack because of our open borders and what was going on since October seventh, So we had a touch on that. That's a horrifying Another shoe maybe to drop in the next couple of months, stay with us.

According to a new survey, nearly half Americans think.

They're out of touch with popular culture. Not me, though, I know what that's a good one.

Half of Americans say they're out of touch with popular culture. I don't I don't exactly know what that means.

Is there popular culture at this point? I suppose you know, like Killer Swift is, but everything's so niche.

Yeah, it's not the same as you used to be. Music's niche TV's niche. Yeah, so it's not quite the same. Although I don't want to be out of touch with popular culture, I don't think, I mean, I have an inclination to want.

To, but I do think.

I do think there's a certain bit you move into the endpoint of your life when you give up on that.

I don't know.

One of my radio heroes, don Imus Got, he was seventy years old and you still always knew what the hot TV show was, the hot music, the hot everything. He was Just I feel like it kept him in the game to a certain extent, just to know these things.

I don't know, but I don't. I don't have any idea.

Yeah, I guess my counterpoint would be I have limited time in bandwidth and I'd rather spend its looking at serious stuff. And I'm not saying you're wrong. It's an interesting, you know, juxtaposition wrestling match.

I can't help be somewhat immersed in popular culture since I have two teenagers, although that I live with, so that's not really an option for me yet. My fourteen year old eighth grader, he's got his first dance tonight and eighth grade graduation tomorrow, and we did our clothes shopping yesterday, which took a lot longer than I thought it would take. Got him a good shirt for the dance. He's got they got a certain dress code for the dance. I went through this whole thing because he said no, that the other kids are going to be wearing dressing like this, And I said, listen, this is the way it goes. Everybody says they're not going to follow the rules, and then they get there in their dress the way they're supposed to get dressed because their parents made them so that to just trust me, this is the way it works. I don't know if that was your experience, but it was mine. You know, everybody says, no, I'm gonna wear jeans and tennis shoes. So the graduation, no, you're not. Your parents aren't gonna let you do that.

So and you think you're gonna be the only one actually following the dress code.

And you get there and turns out you're not. Roll up your sleeves, unbutton a button.

You'll be fine.

Got them a nice pink tie for graduation tomorrow. Gonna look very sharp. I want to go through everybody really quickly here because I was going to talk to him about this afternoon before he goes to his first dance, Katie. One piece of advice you'd give to somebody going to their first dance looking back on your life.

Looking back, I would say, just just dance.

Just go out there and dance, and eventually people will dance with you. Well, this is this is from a female who dancing is a good thing, not a bad thing.

But got it, Michael, You know I'd probably give the same advice. Just don't worry about what other people think. Yeah, I've already been similar to that to Joe.

No matter what happens, be gentlemanly to every girl you come in contact with.

Hmmm. We would be an example of not what have you seen or heard?

I I was witnessed to a situation where it was a school situation where the kids were dancing and and like you had to trade partners, and one of the guys was like making faces and visibly super uncomfortably showing how uninterested he was.

Yeah, not cool, so uncool, not surprising, but super uncool. Yeah that's a good one right there. I hadn't even contemplated that because I haven't witnessed an eighth grade dance since I was in eighth grade, but yeah, I could see that happening. I am going to talk to him about that dance with somebody. I'm going to say, you only live once.

That's good.

Uh you don't want to regret it the rest of your life. Armstrong and get a Boeing built spaceship has been launched into orbit and is successfully orbiting with two American astronauts right now. Of course, at some point the astronauts are going to look out the window and see the wings fall off or oh way Sentinel.

That's a shot at a treasured American corporation right there.

I won't have it.

Yeah, so good for them. I guess what what is? What is the goal here? It's funny I lost track of what the goal was.

Is Boeing trying to compete against somebody on SpaceX?

Sure?

SpaceX and Blue Origin? Just rocketry in general? Okay?

Uh?

Merrick Garland is the Attorney General of the United States, and he was in front of Congress yesterday asked answering questions about a whole bunch of different things. The whole Justice Department film on the scale Biden thing is uh so a lot of a push from the left is how can you claim that they're out to get Trump when you know three days later they're going after the president's own son.

Which is a decent argument, I guess.

I mean, but they would say, okay, all right, I'll concede they're not so corrupt. They ignore all of their investigators who say, hey, this guy Korea committed a bunch of crimes. All right, they're not that corrupt.

It sure looked like they tried to give him a special deal nobody else would have gotten there for a while, and luckily the judge caught onto it, which is how we're here today.

But anyway, won't get off on that.

A different line of question came up with Merrek Garland, who runs a justice department with a friend of the Armstrong and Getty show, California Congressman Tom McClintock, and they got into this conversation.

We've had five million illegal immigrants deliberately released into our country with very limited vetting, and while the border patrol has.

Been overwhelmed, another two million known god aways have entered as well.

Now, last year, your FBI director told this committee that he believes this constitutes a massive security threat.

Again, his words do you agree with that assessment.

I'm never going to be disagreeing with the FBI director, but my recollection, he said, there is a national security threat of people from known terrorist organizations crossing the border board and the FBI will do everything it can to follow those people if they managed to make it across the border, and to ensure that the countries.

We could go into that in great detail.

But well, first of all, before we hear more of that conversation, because it's pretty interesting, how is this not a bigger story? The FBI director under the Biden administration came out and told us what a giant threat this was, and after that, we continue to let people from China, Africa, well all kinds of countries full of terrorists into the country. We have no idea who they are, where they went, where they are now. It's just amazing that this isn't a bigger story. Anyway, the conversation rolls on, Well, my.

Greatest fear is that we could face a coordinated terrorist attack from elements among.

The millions who've entered this country illegally over the last three years. Is this fear justified?

I am worried about the possibility of a terrorist attack in the country. After October seventh, the threat level for US has gone up enormously. Every morning we worry about this question. We try to track anyone who might be trying to hurt the country.

Of course, this.

Is a priority and major prices.

For the joss of this administration's policies.

You now have millions and millions who have been allowed into this country or who.

Have evaded the border patrol.

Why they've been overwhelmed admitting these millions in well, and.

I worry about the stage is set.

For something very bad happening in the very near future because of your administration's of policies.

We should have Tom on to talk more about this, But you asked the question earlier. What's the politics of this with the buy I mean, so his f if Biden's FBI director and Attorney General get up every morning in one of their biggest concerns is a terrorist attack from people.

That'snuck across the murder.

How have you not done anything about it? It's shocking, it's disconcerting. They must just be so enamored with or dependent on their far left that they won't do what obviously needs to be done. I'm sitting here as I listen to Tom, and why is like Marjorie Taylor Green fifty times more famous than Tom McClintock.

Well, I know the answer to that question, but.

I mean, he was certainly scoring partisan points there, but he was also making a very important national security point. And he's just he's two and a half times smarter than most of these yay who's who get all the camera times? Anyway, that's an aside, But I was sitting there as I was listening to him, thinking, what the hell is the point of a terrorist watch list? If you have an open border, So terrorists who are clever enough that unless they're not going to use their real name and take a commercial airplane flight into JFK, but instead they're going to cleverly, like tens of millions of other people, just walk across.

The border, there is no terrorist watch list. I did the math real quick. Marjorie Taylor Green's actually one hundred and ten times more pocketer than McClintock. If you were going to use Twitter followers, which is probably not the best more accurate way, but McLintock has thirty thousand Twitter followers, Marjorie Taylor Green and everyone knows it. Marjorie Taylor with their bad built, blonde body. She has three point three million followers on.

Twitter and everyone knows that.

Oh my god, that's why you do and say the things she says.

That is absolutely correct. Yeah.

Wow, Well from the congressman, what's that? More from the congressman?

Ah, yeah, we can finish off this conversation. Sure.

Now it's reported the President intends to use Section two twelve F of the Immigration Nationality Act to turn back illegal entries once they reach twenty five hundred a day.

That's nearly a million a year.

So that's not closing the barn door as keeping it propped open indefinitely, but it is a lower number than your.

Administration's tolerated so far.

Yet, for the last three years three and a half years, the president's.

Maintained that he has no such authority.

So what's changed other than we're five months before the election.

That's going to have to refer you to the Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for the border issues. I would say that the best way to protect the border was past the bipartisan legislation that was proposed possible.

Well, the bipartisan legislation would have forbidden future prisons from using that very authority to instile legal entries reached four thousand a day, So dis.

Houmbs time as exiturturny home as time has expired.

Excellent point for Tom. The so called.

Strict immigration policy that the Republicans turned down because of their new pocket of Trump was the limit was four thousand a day as opposed to this new.

Day.

Is that what it is? Anyway? I got a thought about that after this.

Yeah, quick word from our friends that simply save home security, whether it is Venezuelan gang members who are running about in your community or just good old American drug addicts and junkies and thieves, simply save home security is such a great idea to protect you and your family and your stuff. It's all about having peace of mind. And that peace of mind is incredibly affordable.

And see about the To me, it's about the idea of being able to leave the house daytime, night time, for the weekend or whatever and know I'm taking care of because simply Safe is on the job with all the cameras and sensors and everything like that. And it's about a dollar day, simple to set up, simple to use, you'll actually use it. I've known people with super complicated, annoying systems that didn't work. They got them installed and never use them. You'll actually use simple simply safe.

YEP.

By partnering with simply safe, you will find the real peace of mind so many people have. And you can get an exclusive twenty percent off any new simply Safe system when you sign up for fast protect monitoring. And that's that twenty four to seven monitoring we're talking about. That's less than a dollar a day. Just visit simply safe dot com, slash armstrong, that's six simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe.

So I don't root for bad things to happen.

I don't want there to be an economic downturn just so my person gets elected or whatever. I want the economy to be good. I don't want a terrorist attack. But people regularly say, well, you don't know what events are going to happen before the election. I think the most likely big event that could happen before the election is some sort of terrorist attack from people that came across our border illegally and better not be called a black Swan event because the FBI director and as you heard, they're the attorney general. Both think about it every single day. That would not be a black Swan event. It's like it's almost a black Swan event if it doesn't happen, like an unpredictable I can't believe it hasn't happened yet. And the political fallout from that would be enormous, don't you think, And don't you think it would be all to Trump's favor?

Well, yeah, one hundred percent. Yes.

What strikes me though, as a guy who consumes news every single day to the point that my mental health is suffering. There have been quite a number of cases lately of Venezuelan gang member shoots down two cops. Uh christ Pakistani guy tried to run down Jews outside of Jewish school, screaming we must kill all the Jews. You didn't hear about that one, did you. The New York Post covered that story. They're the only ones. There's another cop shooting in Washington State. There's a vehicular homicide, all of them illegal immigrants, not to mention all the other individual crimes. One person dead here, one person dead here, one person dead here, times one hundred and twenty just in the last you know, six months whatever that I personally have come across. And that number obviously is a wild guess. But one hundred and twenty people killed at once in an organized thing, the world stops, right. One hundred and twenty people killed individually by the same phenomenon we're talking about.

Nobody pays attention at all? What is the matter with us?

Well in the media hates the idea of reporting on an illegal immigrant committing a crime because they got to keep that hole. They commit fewer crimes and natural born citizens that they ken heated to work, blah blah blah, which is mostly true, but it doesn't make any difference if you're killed by an illegal.

Oh that reminds me.

We never did really get to the discomfort, the delicious discomfort inside the Washington Post because they fired the woke editor and said, Hey, this ain't working. We're going to go back to journalism and the snowflake, woke, young newsroom is pieced off.

Let's do that when we come back. Because I want to hear that you mentioned taking in news to your the detriment of your mental health. I was talking to somebody about that the other day who feels like they're all they're going crazy. And I mentioned the guy going nuts at the Wendy's when I was there the other day, threatened to slap the person behind him. Everybody is just so on edge and so crazy right right now and recently and maybe since a pandemic, but it's growing. It's just I don't I don't know what's happening. Something's happening, don't think yeah, oh yeah, is it the heat, My god, the heat.

No.

The cliche term is information overload, but I think it's that we as a beast, are not designed to have access to every bad thing that happens everywhere, all the time. Not only would it not have been easy to do for all a human history, that would have been an impossibility. The editor of the New York Times in nineteen sixty five wasn't overwhelmed by all the bad stuff that happened all the time instantaneously. No, with pictures and video's, oh my gosh, yeah, which is worth a thousand words or whatever the saying is.

Yeah.

I just think I think.

We're being overloaded with every sort of input, and a lot of it's unhealthy. As we've discussed many times, social media et cetera. I could see the emergence of a serious blood height back to nature, quasi amish movement where it wouldn't be you know, horses and buggies, but it would be unplugging in a significant way.

I know those people.

That's a good decision, young man, some of that. You know what I'm driving at right, Yes.

You've convinced me. I'm going to turn my own butter this afternoon. Here's a confession for you.

I was taking a walk the other day with my phone in my pocket, of course, and I said, you know, just to start, I got to just put my phone aside and not look at it for an hour. And I felt an immediate feeling of stress. And I thought, son, you have a problem.

My twelve year old said the other day, he said, can we get YouTube taken off the TV? He said, I think I'm addicted. I don't want to watch it. I keep telling myself I'm not gonna watch it, and then I start watching it.

Right.

That's interesting that awareness is going to drive people to take more and more serious measures to unplug, you know, cut the cord and the addiction.

I need to.

When you're threatening to slap the person behind the counter at the Wendy's.

You're off the rails. You realize that, sir, especially a teenager. For goodness sakes. Anyway, I want to hear about the Washington Post newsroom and other stuff coming up. Stay right here.

They kicked the person out at the Washington Post kind of unceremoniously, the same person that had wocified the Associated Press and went in and wocified the Washington Post.

What three four years ago? Yeah, that makes so much sense.

I remember when I first became aware that the AP had gone to hell and it had become a far left instrument. I'm going to start this little screen with this. DEI is a tool of takeover. It doesn't exist for diversity. The equity just means Marxism and inclusion means just more Marxists.

It exists as a tool to take things over.

You have your Department of DEI declare who is politically correct, who's not, what needs to be said, what needs to be believed, Whether it's a university or a hospital or a corporation or whatever. They take it over, including the Washington Post. I just want to throw this in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which is the largest school within the university, it's half of all Harvard students, has declared they will no longer require diversity inclusion and belonging statements for faculty hirings, no more ideological litmus test, partly because people are more aware of this as happening, of this happening and it's obscene. Partly because it ruins the institution. DEI is an instrument of takeover anyway. So this gal who is running what's her name Busby something Buzzby Sally Busby, who had become the executive editor of the Post a few years back, has driven the paper into the ground. Democracy dies in darkness, Democracy dies in dopiness, and your papers drowning in it.

Yeahest The three biggest papers in the country are The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal, three most influential, and the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have had their memberships skyrocket in the last several years, but not the WAPPO under her leadership.

Yeah, and interestingly, the New York Times has drifted a little bit back towards sanity in their news reporting. I wouldn't say it's healthy, but it's better than it was during say the Post George Floyd insanity but anyway, so several Washington Post reporters were criticizing Jeff Bezos, the owner, during a major strike against the outlet. This week, Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis had a blunt message for his staff during a tense meeting that followed the sudden ouster of Executive editor Sally buzzbe quote, We're going to turn this thing around. Let's not sugarcoat it. It needs turning around. We are losing large amounts of money your audience has had in recent years. People are not reading your stuff right. I can't sugarcoat it anymore.

Wow.

Well, the woke staff got all pissed off and there was a tense meeting.

Apparently he did exchange.

Lewis warned that the newsroom cannot afford to be resistant to change, saying that decisive, urgent action was necessary for the reasons we cited. A staffer accused Lewis of chosing his two buddies to run the paper. The most cynical interpretation sort of feels like you chose two of your buddies to come and help run the post, and we now have four white men running three newsrooms, which is a reference to their dividing into kind of three departments. So evidently there is a widespread outrage among the yoke, the woke young staffers there.

Yeah, the two main people they brought in are from the Telegraph and the Wall Street Journal, A couple of wi guiso probably sis.
