What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with a new mini episode of Podforce One. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for the New York Post.
What is Hunter Biden's media comeback and why now?
Today the topic is the comeback of Hunter Biden and his latest media blitz, why he's doing it and how to counter his lies. Flush with a $1.7 million payout in his defamation suit against a flaky former Trump donor, Hunter Biden is on a publicity blitz. He appears on random podcasts, tweets obsessively on X, took to the stage for a live performance in Phoenix, Arizona. and launched a new substack, Where's Hunter?, on which he posts long screeds about himself. It is a little like reading his laptop without the homemade porn. The lies are the same, but this new Hunter sounds nothing like the whiny, malicious Hunter who revealed himself in seven years of frantic, crack-inspired musings on his infamous laptop.
The new Hunter is polished, calculated, and utterly inauthentic. He is a skillfully manufactured product, and his sudden explosion into the media landscape is anything but organic. It seems more like a sophisticated publicity rollout by professional PR operatives, which he recently admitted to hiring in an interview with Wired. to promote the upcoming documentary Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris made during the years he was bankrolling the disgraced former first son. The filmmaker Morris hired to follow Hunter around, Rob Beindler of Hands on a Hard Body fame, says the project is nearing release, according to super sleuth, hunter nemesis Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump advisor turned private eye and founder of non-profit Marco Polo.
Beindler's website confirms he is, quote, completing a Verite feature documentary, featuring Hunter Biden. The timing fits, and as Ziegler says, quote, Hunter lies every time he opens his mouth. Like father, like son. His first tweet in a decade on May 19 was a lie. I'm Hunter Biden, he tweeted. You've never actually heard from me. Au contraire, he wrote a whole book about himself in 2021. Democrats are thrilled that another member of the grifting Biden family is grabbing the spotlight just when they are trying to get everyone to forget their disastrous 2024 defeat, not to mention Joe's catastrophic presidency. Just as he tried to do with his 2021 memoir Beautiful Things, Hunter is leaning into his crack addiction and associated debauchery to try to divert attention from the lucrative international influence peddling operation that
He and his uncle Jim Biden ran during Joe's vice presidency, with Joe's involvement to close multi-million dollar deals and open doors. It didn't work then and is unlikely to work now, even with Morris' creative magic.
How is Hunter's recent publicity rollout being financed and staged?
Dubbed Hunter's sugar brother by Hunter's ex-partners because of the millions of dollars he spent, Paying off Hunter's tax debts, paying his legal fees and funding his lavish Malibu lifestyle in 30,000 rentals, Morris closed his wallet before Hunter's lawyer, Abby Lowell, was fully paid. Lowell has since filed suit against Hunter for unpaid fees, over $50,000 but believed to be much more. Hunter is also being sued by his baby mama, London Roberts, over unpaid child support payments for the seven-year-old daughter, Navy, who he has refused to meet, and that his parents still refuse to acknowledge, apart from a cursory statement they were shamed into releasing after the New York Times noted the hypocrisy of their professed family values.
How do court records and whistleblowers contradict Hunter's laptop denials?
Hunter's current media blitz doubles down on Morris' fictional hypothesis that Hunter's laptop does not exist. The pair have concocted an elaborately improbable tale in which Rudy Giuliani stole Hunter's digital database and created mixed tapes, which they then passed off as Hunter's laptop with the help of Trump ally Roger Stone and Hunter's former shrink Keith Abloh. The reason none of their lies stand up to scrutiny is that too many people know the truth and have told it in court, in whistleblower testimony, in hard-won prosecutions, in a number of forensically detailed books, which are the antidote to Hunter's feeble attempts to rewrite history.
