Liberal “Fox News Sunday” contributor Juan Williams gave an impassioned defense of President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter — and the president as well — but former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich quickly settled the score.

Both Williams and Gingrich joined host Shannon Bream for the panel discussion portion of the Sunday morning show, and the temperature around the table quickly heated up when the topic turned to Hunter Biden.

Williams began by acknowledging the younger Biden’s personal issues — particularly drugs and sex — and argued that despite the situation being less than optimal, the only thing he believed Joe Biden was truly guilty of was trying to help and protect his son.

“We know Hunter Biden’s an addict, we know he’s an alcoholic. We know he’s had sex addiction problems. We know he’s not the son you would have. But Joe Biden acted as a father trying to protect his son and trying to help his son. I don’t think anyone’s gonna fault him for that,” Williams said.

“But you compare that to the graft and the grifting from Trump golf courses, Trump hotels, Chinese shoe deals with the daughter, and the son-in-law getting billions from the Saudis. It’s unbelievable,” Williams continued, immediately pivoting to turn the attack on former President Donald Trump. “Even this week you have to compare it to the trouble we’ve heard about in New York with the sexual assault case against Trump. But this is what Hunter Biden has come down to now. He is a distraction, a shield against all the trouble that Trump is experiencing.”

Gingrich pushed back, arguing that the lucrative international business deals — to which multiple members of the Biden family, the president included, have been connected — should not be brushed aside so easily.

“There are facts. The widow of the Moscow mayor sent millions of dollars to Hunter Biden. He got money from Kazakhstan,” Gingrich replied. “He got money from Ukraine and served on a board about which he knew nothing. He got a lot of money from China and it’s a fact, Juan, that there were $3 million that has been disclosed that went to the Biden family from a Chinese billionaire.”

“Now you can decide that none of this stuff matters, but the fact is you have the Vice President of the United States taking his son on Air Force Two into China where his son is making business deals. And you just described his son. Your language, he’s a sex addict, he’s an alcoholic —” Gingrich continued.

Williams jumped back in then, asking, “Is that an attack on the president? He’s not the president! He’s the son! Nepotism is not a crime! You look at the nepotism in every president and every famous family but that’s not a crime.”

Bream interjected then, noting that members of both the Trump family and the Biden family had been the targets of accusations regarding nepotism, and asked whether a double standard might be in play.

“Look, I think you have a son, Joe Biden’s son, Hunter who might make some business deals. Newt describes this as millions flowing to the family. Kind of amorphous. But I know specifically of two billion dollars that went to Jared Kushner and nobody’s gonna argue about that,” Williams said again.

But Gingrich was not convinced, and he argued that based on Williams’ own description of Hunter Biden, no serious business was going to invest in him unless they thought they could use him to get something better: “They were investing in Joe.”

Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney was dismissed by Anheuser-Busch’s CEO as a one-off and nothing more, but Daily Wire host Michael Knowles is skeptical.

In a tweet thread Monday, Knowles pointed out that Bud Light’s European parent company AB InBev is pushing a wide-ranging LGBTQ and DEI agenda. AB InBev’s 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report shows that the company is openly going along with the World Economic Forum (WEF) by promoting leftist agenda items ranging from climate change and censorship to diversity goals and radical gender theory. 

“One might think that Bud Light could just apologize and admit that men aren’t women. But no matter how much Bud Light and parent company AB InBev might wish to reign in the radicalism, they can’t abandon the agenda,” Knowles said. “They’re mired in World Economic Forum/ESG gobbledygook.”

Transheuser-Busch is still scrambling over the Mulvaney beer can as sales continue to tank. But it’s caught between a rock of customers and a hard place called “GARM,” a WEF-backed operation which was subpoenaed Friday by @Jim_Jordan and the House Judiciary. Here’s why:🧵

Along with accepting the leftist principles set forth through DEI and ESG initiatives, AB InBev has “adopted a corporate policy that exalts ‘gender identity and expression’ to the same level of significance as age and race,” Knowles added. The company says that it will help employees pay for sex-change procedures in the U.S. and Canada and promises “financial and legal support” for employees in Brazil and Colombia who are seeking to change their names.

In addition to its support for sex-change procedures, AB InBev offers “family-forming” options for gay couples “like two men buying the eggs & womb of a woman to intentionally remove a baby from its mother at birth,” Knowles said.

AB InBev wants leftist DEI principles to touch “upon all functions, including Sales, Supply Chain, Marketing and others,” but AB InBev’s leftist campaigns don’t stay inside the company. The beer maker also seeks to train “buyers and suppliers on our [diversity and inclusion] Supplier strategy.” 

AB InBev’s pandering to leftist principles doesn’t end there. Knowles also pointed out that the company is part of a WEF initiative that has created “standards that limit or entirely demonetize platforms that contain ‘hate speech’ on ‘gender identity,’ ‘insensitive… treatment of debated social issues,’ or the classic ‘misinformation.’” 

The initiative, created in 2019 and called the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), includes corporations Adidas, BP, CVS, Goldman Sachs, Lego, Mastercard, McDonald’s, Merck, Nike, P&G, Hershey, Disney, Unilever, Walmart, and more. GARM’s “misinformation” policies were “introduced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war” and “have been designed to provide a structure for demonetizing misinformation.” 

GARM was the target of questioning from U.S. lawmakers on Friday when the Republican-led House issued subpoenas aimed at the WEF initiative. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in letters obtained by The Daily Wire that GARM and the group that created it — World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) — may be facilitating coordination by its members in a manner that violates U.S. antitrust law.

Knowles said that “GARM is so powerful and controls so much advertising money (like that of Bud Light) that YouTube, Meta (FB & IG), Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, and others are writing pages of reports as to how they are going to run their platforms to appease GARM standards.” 

Knowles concluded his tweet thread with a dire warning.

“Don’t look away,” he said. “If we don’t put an end to this growing scheme of control and deceit, Bud Light’s inability to apologize and admit that men can’t be women will be the least of our problems.”
