CHARLES HURT (GUEST): And, quite frankly, I was sort of half-joking when I said that I thought that the White House press office planted the cocaine just so they wouldn't have to talk about, like, the economy and everything else. But they would rather talk about Hunter Biden the crackhead.

PETE HEGSETH (HOST): You think so?

HURT: Oh, they would much rather talk about that than they would rather defend his record and to run on the -- you know, the real, genuine corruption that runs deep through the entire Biden family.

HEGSETH: Because Hunter's like -- they can say, "Well that's just the drug addict over here."

HURT: Yeah, "He's a crackhead, he's a crackhead, whatever." You know, hookers, crack, you know, that's what they want to talk about.
