While Biden faces scrutiny for his non-apologies on The View regarding physical interactions with women, a leaked California reception committee list reveals massive financial backing from Hollywood elites Jeffrey Katzenberg, Rob Reiner, and Google executive Eric Schmidt. Peter Schweizer’s latest investigation exposes Hunter Biden’s billion-dollar business ties to a Bank of China subsidiary and a Ukrainian hedge fund, complicating the former Vice President’s ethics narrative. In Baltimore, federal agents raided Mayor Catherine Pugh’s home following an $800,000 scandal involving her Healthy Holly book series and Kaiser Permanente. Meanwhile, former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova alleges the FISA court has identified illegal FBI spying on the Trump transition team, a claim supported by newly surfaced Peter Strzok and Lisa Page text messages. In California, the Franchise Tax Board is reportedly using Uber Media geolocation data and license plate readers to track former residents for tax liability. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the shift at Fox News under Lachlan Murdoch following the hiring of Donna Brazile and Paul Ryan. The annual White House Correspondents Association dinner is panned as a sedative after historian Ron Chernow replaced the traditional comedian. The show concludes with a knighting ceremony for Southwest flight attendant Todd Moss and a deep dive into the sorghum vinaigrette of regional Texas cuisine. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
