Hunter Biden CALLS OUT Joe Rogan, BASHES White House UFC fight | RISING

[00:00:05]Hunter Biden went on a rant against Joe Rogan and against the UFC Freedom 255 fights that were held at the White House last weekend. It started with a viral clip of Rogan on his podcast where he heaped praise on the event and brushed off complaints from those who felt that it was a political stunt.

[00:00:21]>> But Hunter Biden seemingly didn't take those comments well. He wrote in part on X, quote, "The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any president. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.

[00:00:39]This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants."

[00:00:44]He continued, quote, "By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was trying to say to the rest of us is, this is my house, I own it, I will do with it what I please. I'll build a Colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze." And Biden signed off by adding, "PS, cage match between me and Don Jr., your call on the venue, anywhere but the South Lawn."

[00:01:07]>> Hunter Biden is on a rampage.

[00:01:09]>> [laughter] >> I mean, Hunter Biden is really trying to make Hunter Biden happen and nobody's buying it. Like, I'm I'm going to say this, Hunter Biden has no credibility to me. I don't think that he is a voice that people in the United States should listen to. Hunter Biden has only traded in five things and those are the letters of the last name, B I D E N. That is the only experience he has had in life. He didn't get on the board of Burisma to as a Ukraine energy company because he had exceptional experience. He got on it because of his last name. So, that baby nepo baby king should maybe pipe down about it. And let's be clear here, at the White House, multiple events have been held, sporting events have been held, concerts have been held. South by Southwest had an event similar to it, South by South Lawn by President Obama.

[00:01:55]So, what I don't want to hear is his nonsense. And now he wants to have a cage match. Hunter, you're so thirsty.

[00:02:00]It's sad. You're like a a man with a mirage in the desert. The mirage being that you're important, and the desert being the reality that nobody cares what you say.

[00:02:10]>> Listen.

[00:02:11]>> That was a good That was a good analogy.

[00:02:12]>> analogy. Hunter Biden is He can come back in whatever fashion he wants. All we saw is his headline next to some negative news.

[00:02:19]>> much of Hunter Biden.

[00:02:20]>> he is saturating the market, right? At a time where I'm like, you know what?

[00:02:24]Maybe >> Hunter Biden.

[00:02:25]>> Yeah, maybe hold off until like after the midterms, and even then hold off until after the next presidential election. Because a lot of people don't want to hear from Hunter, from Jill Biden. They didn't want to get the book from Kamala, Karine Jean-Pierre. This This can all happen in 2029. If there's a demo Everybody say what Looking back, what could have changed that Nobody add to the conversation that Biden was well and good enough to Just leave it alone. I know he's fighting for his dad's honor, so is Jill Biden. We're hearing too much.

[00:02:52]>> Now, regarding the UFC fight, I don't mind a fight happening. I don't mind the president going to the event and celebrating it as part of America 250 through his own um money that he raises through his profit nonprofit situation that he has going alongside America 250 and Freedom 250.

[00:03:07]What I minded was the fact that it was on the South Lawn, so it required so many tax dollars. Not that the event got paid for because of that, because of how much Secret Service we needed, how many federal agencies we needed to protect it.

[00:03:18]>> you have a fight outside of the White House, isn't it? So, are you in for the ballroom then, right?

[00:03:23]Like could you be in for the ballroom next?

[00:03:24]>> Well, the taxpayers are going to have to cover the ballroom outside.

[00:03:26]>> And I disagree with I That's also just come up. That That I'm not happy about.

[00:03:29]>> It's not THAT LOOK, AGAIN, I'D LOVE TO dance in the ballroom. I'd love to be invited to a White House Correspondents Dinner at the ballroom. The point is that right now tonally, Americans are frustrated because of the amount of money being spent on some of these things. When we you and I talk about The fact remains that people vote on the economy and are frustrated because of the economy. And right now, the president hasn't delivered on his promises about changing and bettering the economy. And that has No, but No, but Hunter is getting annoyed about the cage match portion. What I'm saying is I don't agree about UFC and judging the sport as a whole. What I was annoyed about was the fact that it's on the South Lawn and people are trying to figure out how to pay for the things, but seeing this cost 60 million and also knowing all the ways I named earlier this week on Monday in my lens of the president directly profited from this event and Paramount, which are allies of the president, the Ellisons that own Paramount, directly profited from airing this event. And so it's frustrating to folks that might look at this. Hunter Biden has his own criticism of UFC, so that's my specific criticism of the UFC event on the South Lawn. But my criticism of Hunter Biden is that a lot of people want him just to, you know, like you said, pipe down. Joe Rogan could do whatever Joe Rogan wants. Joe Rogan is a professional flip-flopper.

[00:04:37]He's on every side of the aisle when it benefits him, right? He's Trump's friend, but then goes on and criticizes him, but then gets a law signed with Trump. You can call that also being diplomatic and figuring out how to play the system to your best advantage. A lot of politicians have to do that, actually. Get stuff done.

[00:04:50]>> agree with a person on one thing and then still get along with them. And I think that's what people are missing, right? Joe Rogan can disagree with the president about how he has handled other things, but still get along with the man. And they people just immediately assume that if you disagree, that means you must hate him about everything.

[00:05:05]You're allowed to voice dissent, and he does that. Hunter Biden on the other hand is continuing to run around, try to sell books and artwork, and just nonsense.

[00:05:15]>> Well, why can't he sell these >> He's a He's a snake oil salesman. Well, you But you're saying he can sell all he want, but all he is doing is profiting off of his name because Hunter hasn't really succeeded at anything in life.

[00:05:25]And so when you look at him overall, he continues to try and make himself a thing. All Hunter is trying to do right now is figure out how much noise I can make and in what avenue I make it where I start making money to pay my friends back for the money I borrowed from them to cover my legal bills because I had committed so many crimes that I had millions and millions of dollars of legal bills, then it had to be pardoned by my father. Hunter Biden is all in this to make money, and we just need to call that out. He doesn't want to run for office, he just wants to make money and make noise. And all And And so, for him, that's all it is. It's just about making a Biden rich. And haven't we done enough of that? But also, to your point, let's keep Hunter in the news. Let's keep Jill in the news. Let's keep Joe in the news, because the more we remind the American people of failures of Democrats and how much they enrich themselves and their own families. Yeah, 10% for the big guy.

[00:06:16]>> Well, I think that, you know, it it would be remiss to pretend that every single president's children don't benefit off the fact that they have the president's last name. They It specifically opens doors, even if folks want to pretend like it >> Yeah, but how are we going to But the Clinton Chelsea Clinton went on and got a degree and has built her own career. Jenna Bush Hager >> I understand, but they But the way into the Today show for the average journalist is much different than Jenna Bush Hager's way into the Today show. Or Billy Bush's way into Access Hollywood, right? So, come on. I just want to be clear.

[00:06:45]>> They all They all succeeded of their own accord, kept their jobs, kept their careers. And Hunter hasn't succeeded at anything. Hunter just was on a board >> to figure it out right now. And now he's trying TO FIGURE OUT THE PODCAST. HE'S TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PODCAST BRO LANE. I WANT HIM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE WANTS to do.

[00:07:00]>> But if he SAYS HE'S GOING TO BE IN THE NEWS A LOT MORE, he's going to be in the news a lot more, and you're going to be talking about it more.

[00:07:06]>> to control him. I You know, I'm just happy that he's on the other side of his >> I You know what? We can agree on that.

[00:07:11]Sobriety, I hope he maintains it, because that's the most important >> thing.

[00:07:15]>> Yes. Maintaining his sobriety is the most important thing. So, >> And you know, I wish the best think that it it hurts Ivanka right now that her father's president and now she's buying a whole entire island. I don't think it hurts her as they speak of the process.

[00:07:27]>> her husband is incredibly successful as well of his own accord, and they have made their own money of their own accord. Ivanka was very successful before her her dad became president of the United States. We can argue nepo baby status all day.

[00:07:40]>> Or the the Trump sons are invested in the same drones that the Pentagon is investing billions into.

[00:07:45]>> any nepo conversation you want that doesn't change the fact that Hunter hasn't actually held a real job and has succeeded at anything. And so his attempts to make money are just attempts to make noise and try to keep himself rich.

[00:07:57]>> So you didn't like his artwork?

[00:07:58]>> Oh no, and I didn't like seeing all of his body and all the crack smoking. I've seen way too much Hunter Biden in my life. I'm good. I've actually seen more of Hunter Biden than I have of like no, gross.

[00:08:10]Nope, we're good. Oh my god, I I actually >> maybe just take this Juneteenth weekend to just relax and sit quietly.

[00:08:15]>> 3:00 p.m. We got soccer on. Go USA. I will not be thinking about Hunter Biden's laptop.

[00:08:20]>> Well, end this one with some go USA.

[00:08:22]Check out the shirt. All right, we have a lot more to talk about on Rising. Stay with us.
