Newsmax’s Eric Bolling The Balance

ERIC BOLLING: Yep, another day, another denial. This morning Joe Biden was asked by a reporter if he had an involvement with his son Hunter’s Chinese business dealings.

STEVEN NELSON: President Biden, how involved — President Biden, how involved were you in your son’s “Chinese shakedown” text message? Were you sitting there?  Were you involved? Were you involved?

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: No, I wasn’t and I don’t —

NELSON: Were you?

BIDEN: No!

BOLLING: Well, joining me now columnist for the New York Post, Karol Markowitz and managing editor for News Busters, Curtis Houck. Karol, 100 times — man’s a pathological liar — 100 times he said I had nothing to do with — I didn’t even talk to Hunter Biden about his business dealings. If you notice yesterday, KJP in the briefing said, oh, the president has never been in business with Hunter. It feels like they’re moving the goalpost a bit, Karol. 

KAROL MARKOWICZ: Yeah. The line is absolutely changing from I have nothing to do with this to I specifically do not have any business to do with this. I don’t know. I think that a lot of what we’re seeing is the President trying to brush this off. The laughing, the making sure that Hunter’s still invited to White House events. I don’t know that this all catches up with him only because the media is so in the tank for him in general, that it’s very, very hard to pin him on this without the help of at least some part of the left media and I’m not sure that they’re willing to do that. I don’t know. You know, I know a lot of people talk about subbing in a different Democrat for the next election, but I really don’t see who they have that they could sub in. If they had that person, they might have subbed them in in 2020. 

BOLLING: So what do you think, Curtis? You know, I’ve never spoken to Hunter about business in China. Now, it’s I’ve never been in business with Hunter in China or anywhere else.

CURTIS HOUCK: Well, first credit to Steven Nelson, Karol’s New York Post colleague. He was the one who asked the question there, and he’s asked many of those questions in the White House press briefing, much to the chagrin of K JP, Olivia Dalton, the fill-in that we had yesterday, and the rest of the press corps. But you know, but, Eric, you look at the Whatsapp coverage, five minutes and three seconds on the broadcast networks from Thursday through Saturday, so we haven’t had any coverage of that since. And we’ve had about eight minutes just on CBS and NBC over the last two days on the whistleblower interviews, Mr Chapley there, um, between CBS and NBC. Again, no — nothing on ABC. So yeah, you’re not really getting the coverage at all. So if you can’t get the coverage, it’s not really in the minds of the American people, especially people who aren’t watching Newsmax and reading, you know, outlets like NewsBusters or the New York Post. So, if it’s not really in the bloodstream of the, you know, electorate, then I think the White House says we don’t really need to talk about this.

BOLLING: Well, let’s talk very quickly. I have about 30 — 30 seconds each. You know, it’s — Joe Biden’s not going to decide not to run for president. 

MARKOWICZ: Right.

BOLLING: It won’t be his decision. It’s going to come from the donor class and — and the high level Democrat class. Karol, your thoughts. Will  — will — is this a slow process to — I don’t know — exit Biden stage left. 

MARKOWICZ: I say no way. I mean, I’m willing to be wrong on this, but I’ve been on the record that it’s going to be Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee again. They didn’t have anybody in 2020 to fill the gap to stop Bernie other than Joe Biden. It’s not going to be Kamala. You know, I don’t see how Gavin Newsom gets Kamala out of the way in order to run. It’s going to be Joe Biden and that’s you know, my opinion on that. 

BOLLING: What do you think, Curtis? I — about — Newsome — Barrett — Mayor Pete wants it.

HOUCK: Totally — totally agree. I think it’s counterproductive, Eric, you know, I mean, the — if you’re a Republican, conservative, no matter which campaign you’re on, in terms of the Democrats, you need to be focused on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their scandals. You see that, how the media are covering up. There’d be way more coverage of these Biden scandals if they were looking to throw Joe Biden overboard.

MARKOWICZ: Yeah, that’s right.

BOLLING: Final though, Karol, go ahead.

MARKOWICZ: No, I — I fully agree. I think that the media is trying to prop him up and drag him across that finish line. I think that they want Joe Biden to be the nominee. 

BOLLING: Prop up like weekend at Bernie’s prop him up, perhaps. I — listen, I’m for one am looking forward to Joe Biden — 

MARKOWICZ: You said it, not me.

BOLLING: — I — well, listen, I — I’m looking forward to Joe Biden on a debate stage because the guy today, thought, for some reason, Putin was fighting a war in Iraq today. I mean, if it’s not written on a teleprompter, he is absolutely lost. Karol Markowicz, Curtis Houck. Thank you both so much. 

HOUCK: Thanks, Eric.

MARKOWICZ: Thanks so very much.
