shannon: as we showed you earlier vice president biden actually did attend a dinner with some of his son hunter s business associates. the media has been accused of ignoring it in the runner to the election. to debate, we bring in two guests, both coming to us from the west coast. welcome back, gentlemen. thanks, shannon. thanks. shannon: i want to play something from russell brand, an entertainment guy, interesting fellow, he says he s not a conservative or a republican at all but even he has questions about hunter. here s what he says. for me, revelations that there are financial connections between energy companies in the ukraine, energy companies in china, and the biden family are
man, he paints and writes and reads. and you know, president bush and president obama, they all sort of knew this was a tough job. interesting thing with president trump is the number of times he brings up some reference to who knew it was so hard. that is number one. number two, remember, he had a very solid relationship with the press before he was president, and he didn t face a ton of criticism. he got headlines but ultimately the press was more friendly to him. he was an entertainment guy. so i think he thought, you get more of that when you re president. and he didn t. he got probably the same amount of adulation and probably a lot more criticism than he was planning on. and i think it s gotta wear on you, no matter who you are. do you think there will come a point where he stops looking around in amazement that this has happened? probably not. will any of us? will the country? i wish things were normal enough that those conditions would exist. it does not feel that
