In this episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” Ben discusses the ongoing controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and the alleged cover-up of his crimes. Ben delves into the details of the plea agreement, the appointment of special counsel David Weiss, and the implications for the Biden administration. He also analyzes the media’s treatment of Hunter Biden and the potential impact on the 2024 presidential election.
Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has been under investigation since 2019 for tax offenses and gun crimes. A plea deal was cut between the US attorney investigating Hunter Biden and his legal team, immunizing him from further criminal charges. However, the plea agreement raised concerns about the DOJ’s attempt to cover up Hunter Biden’s other crimes. IRS whistleblower Gary Sharply testified that David Weiss, the US attorney, was denied special counsel status in the investigation. Weiss was eventually appointed as special counsel after the plea deal, but questions remain about the timing and his independence.
Hunter Biden is facing a higher level of scrutiny and accountability compared to most individuals. The media’s treatment of Hunter Biden differs from how they would treat a rich white man facing similar charges. The appointment of David Weiss as special counsel has been questioned by some, including CNN anchor Jake Tapper. Abby Lowell, Hunter Biden’s attorney, did not deny a relationship between Joe and Hunter’s business, raising further questions about potential conflicts of interest.
President Trump is facing a possible indictment, causing exhaustion and fatigue among Georgia voters. Republican strategists claim that Trump fatigue is a serious problem for him in a general election. However, Trump’s polling numbers have soared, while potential rival Rhonda Santis has declined. The 2024 presidential election could be influenced by the ongoing legal drama surrounding Trump and the perception of his ability to govern effectively.
Families are experiencing increased spending on housing costs, while paychecks have not grown as much, potentially impacting the economy. Short-term government securities are popular due to fear and uncertainty, despite their low returns.

The Democrats are relying on scaring the American people about the Republican Party to gain support for their policies.
The live-action Snow White movie has sparked controversy, with criticism of the prince’s actions and Disney’s portrayal of the story.

In the realm of pop culture, musician Oliver Tree has gained popularity with a song that resonates with working-class Americans and highlights their frustrations with the government’s handling of their money.
The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s alleged cover-up and the media’s treatment of the case raise important questions about accountability and fairness. The ongoing legal drama surrounding President Trump and the potential impact on the 2024 election add further complexity to the political landscape. Additionally, economic concerns and the country’s growing debt problem are areas of critical importance. Finally, the Disney controversy and the emergence of musicians like Oliver Tree reflect the influence of pop culture on society. These topics shape public discourse and have the potential to impact the future direction of the nation.
