Cannot wait, never been wanting 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: to go my whole life, taking the whole family. We're 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: going to talk, but some of you may want to 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: be able to listen to the show all over the place. 15 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: You may be traveling like I am. Miranda Devine going 16 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: to join us at one thirty from the New York Post. 17 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: Julie Kelly going to join us at two thirty, and 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: we'll certainly be talking with Miranda about the Hunter Biden latest. 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: But Buck, another big story that is out there that 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: I think is that I think is pretty significant and 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I get this right. 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: So on pulling up the article. This is from Politico. 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court is going to review the scope. This 24 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: is their headline of an obstruction law that Trump is 25 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: charged with breaking, but that they have used I believe 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: to charge over three hundred jan sixth prisoners with and 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: here's the opening paragraphs. Supreme Court has agreed to take 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: up a case that could derail hundreds of January sixth 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: felony prosecutions and could also deal a blow to Special 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: counsel Jack Smith's prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The case, 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: arising from the prosecution of a jan sixth defendant accused 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: of pushing against police and inflaming a mob attempting to 33 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: breach the capital, calls into question prosecutors handling of an 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: obstruction law. They've been using this federal charge obstruction of 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: an official receding to very ambiguous and amorphous, relatively new 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: federal charge. It carries a twenty year maximum sentence and 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: is one of the four felony counts that Trump is facing. 38 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: And another count charges them with conspiring to violate that 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: obstruction law. So this is basically half of the charges 40 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: that have been brought against Trump. Now, buck what I 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: want to mention before we kind of dive back into 42 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: this is in theory, if you were going to charge 43 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: someone with obstruction of an official proceeding, which. 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: Carries a twenty year sentence. 45 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: Jamal Bowman, congressman from New York who pulled the fire 46 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: alarm to keep the House of Representatives from being in order, 47 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: this would be an easy charge to potentially get with him. 48 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: Anyone in theory who is showing up on Capitol Hill 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: and disrupting any public hearing. In theory, any protesting anything 50 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: for any reason in theory could also be charged with this. 51 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 3: So all those crazy code pink ladies, remember all of 52 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: them showing up at all these hearings and making the 53 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: noise and disrupting, and we have to get people to 54 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: you know, order, and we did in federal prison. Yeah, 55 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: I mean this also brings up a whole other thing, 56 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: which is pretty much every federal crime is like ten 57 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: twenty years in prison. 58 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: It's great. 59 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: And they do this so that effectively, if the federal 60 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: government decides that you've done something, your options are plead 61 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: guilty for a you know, usually a substantial or a 62 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: substantially lesser sentence, or your your life is basically over. 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: Twenty years in federal prison. You know, good luck. So anyway, Yeah, 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: so here's the big takeaway. 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: So first of all, we're gonna talk with Julie Kelly 66 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: about this in detail because she's been covering this fabulously 67 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: well on all the jan six cases. 68 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: But here's what it means for Trump. Buck, I don't 69 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: see any way. 70 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: This case is going to trial on March fourth. I 71 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: don't see any now. I know we talked earlier in 72 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: the week, was it Andy McCarthy? 73 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: Andy said, gun to his head, and those are his words. 74 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: He still thinks that this goes through, but he said 75 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: he sounded like he was sixty forty on it, you 76 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 77 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: It's very tight. 78 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: And that was also before the Supreme Court announced they 79 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: were accepting this case. So I actually would be curious 80 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: what Andy would say now, because I bet he would 81 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: agree with me, because if half of the criminal charges 82 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: that Trump is facing are now before the Supreme Court, 83 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: and I think likely to be found to be as 84 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: they have been applied to the Jan six political prisoners, 85 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: which they're trying to do to Trump now not legally viable, 86 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: because I don't know why else they would take this case. 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: I can't imagine they would take this case to say, yes, 88 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: we agree with the lower court, this should definitely be used. 89 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: I think they're going to say that the way that 90 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: the federal government has prosecuted under this potential, but this 91 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: particular statute is not within the bounds of the law 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: as the Supreme Court sees it. 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: And think of the. 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 3: Shift in the narrative that would occur to anyone who's 95 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: being honest if this were to happen, it would be 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court having to step in and say, hey, guys, 97 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: you over zealously prosecuted those January sixth defenders. You unfairly 98 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 3: destroyed using the law beyond the actual intent of the 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: statute to destroy January six protesters, which also goes to 100 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: you know, Trump told us last time we sat down 101 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: with him that there's gonna be a lot of pardons 102 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 3: for j six people. 103 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: Anyway, I think this would just add not that he 104 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: necessarily needs any momentum. 105 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: For that, but for the general public, it would show 106 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: that there really has been abuse here. You know, you 107 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: and I have been talking about this, and we've been 108 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: highlighting your year's work for a long time. We were 109 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 3: talking about this back in twenty twenty one, And this 110 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: is something that I think people the more they learn 111 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: about it, the more they recognize. Yeah, you know, it's 112 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: one of these things, right. You could say, yeah, it 113 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: was it unwise to be part of the mob and 114 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: go to the Capitol that day. What depends on who 115 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: the person was and what they did. But should they 116 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: be treated like al Qaeda and you know, arrested at 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: gunpoint in their homes and then locked up in solitary 118 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: confinement and then face years in federal prison. No, this 119 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 3: isn't the gulag system. What the heck is going on here? 120 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: People who have been saying that have been like us, 121 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: have been speaking the truth on this issue. 122 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: That's reality. I donated money, did Julie Kelly? Yeah? 123 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: I remember group to try to get people good lawyers 124 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: because I think Republicans have been remiss on this situation 125 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: because so many of them were afraid of any connection 126 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: to January sixth at all. That even saying this is 127 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: over prosecution and it's indefensible, and to remember the over 128 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: prosecution of January sixth related charges is happening at at 129 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: the same time that Washington d C has been dropping 130 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: felony charges to misdemeanors for almost everyone else. So it's 131 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: not just I mean, it would be one thing if 132 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: you said, hey, the DC prosecutors, man, they go after 133 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: everybody you create a minor offense. They try to put 134 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: you in prison forever for every offense. You might or 135 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: might not agree with it, but it would be a 136 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: consistent application of an aggressive form of the law based 137 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: on prosecutatorial decision making. Here they're throwing the book at 138 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: everybody Jan sixth, and they're simultaneously doing virtually nothing to 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: other people charged with serious violent crimes. In fact, they're 140 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: dropping them from felonies to misdemeanors. And but again, two 141 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: of the four charges against Trump on this March fourth 142 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: case are now in severe question. There's going to be 143 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: a huge briefing schedule associated with it. I would imagine 144 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: that Trump's lawyers are all saying, wait a minute, now, 145 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: we definitely can't have Trump stand trial on two charges 146 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: that the Supreme Court is potentially going to say have 147 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: been inaccurately applied for Jan six related charges. 148 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: So I wonder. 149 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: Whether Jack Smith is going to have to revise his 150 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: overall charges against Trump, potentially drop these two and hold 151 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: them in abeyance and go forward with the other two. 152 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: I mean, he's in a really tough spot here, and 153 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: I just don't. 154 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we can text Andy McCarthy and see if he 155 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: wants to revise as his prediction now that this latest 156 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: decision has been made. But I just I don't see 157 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: any way possible that these four charges can be brought 158 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: against Trump on March fourth. 159 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: I really don't. 160 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: And I mean, just think about for a moment if 161 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 3: all of these if now all of the trials, I 162 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: still think one or two are going to happen. I 163 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 3: don't know if it's one or two. But let's say 164 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: if all of them aren't going to happen before the election, 165 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: then we have this situation where Donald Trump either wins 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: and wipes this all away as president or loses, and 167 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 3: then the next administration, Biden or whomever has to make 168 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 3: a decision as to whether or not they continue with 169 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 3: that persecution. This is why we say this election is 170 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: going to be unlike anything I think we've ever seen before. 171 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: This is also why I would say, if this trial 172 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: is not starting on March fourth, and based on the 173 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: news today, I think it's going to be very hard 174 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: to start it on March fourth. If they get pushed back, 175 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: and let's say Joe Biden were to win, I can 176 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: see Biden covering up his Hunter Biden pardoned by also 177 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: pardoning Trump. Because at that point, again, I'm saying, if 178 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Biden won re election and we know he's going to 179 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: pardon his son and these Hunter charges are not going away, 180 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: we agree one hundred percent that Hunter is going to 181 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: Biden's not letting his son go to Yeah. 182 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm the president, the chance of my 183 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: son going to federal prison zero. Like, I'm just gonna 184 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: be honest about that. 185 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: Right, this is not happening, especially if he convinces himself that, 186 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: even though it's not true, all these charges are political 187 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: in nature. But I could see if Biden won, I 188 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: could see him pardoning Trump on these charges when he 189 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: also pardons his son. Because if he pardons his son, 190 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: I think it would be hard for the national media 191 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: not to absolutely crucify Joe Biden. 192 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: I think Biden my. 193 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: Belief, and I don't pretend that anyone really knows what's 194 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: going to happen here, but my prediction is Joe Biden 195 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 3: is the candidate. 196 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: It is whispered constantly that Kamala will take over. Don't worry. 197 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: This is just to just to swindle people in one 198 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 3: more election. Yeah, and have one more you know, ballot harvesting, 199 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: mass media operation that pushes Joe of the finish line. 200 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 3: And then right around Christmas time, Joe pardons his son, 201 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: says he has health issues, and oh gosh, the inauguration's 202 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 3: actually going to celebrate the swearing in of the first 203 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: black female president, Kamala Harris. That's what I actually think 204 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: is going to happen if the Democrats win. I don't 205 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: believe Democrats are gonna win, but if a Democrat wins, 206 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 3: that's how it goes down. In my mind, I think 207 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 3: he would step down after the mid terms. I think 208 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 3: he would hold on for two years and then you 209 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: don't have any real power, and then you give Kamala 210 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: Harris two years to be the presumptive. But I think 211 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 3: at one hundred percent he would in December regardless of 212 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: what happens, I think you'll pardon hunt Well the only 213 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: reason well, but see, then then it comes down to 214 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 3: do you really think that the Democrat electorate cares that 215 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: much that he pardons his song? 216 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 2: I think the answer is no. Actually, so I might even. 217 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: Co sign with you that he that that Biden stays 218 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 3: on a bit longer. So it's not so much for 219 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 3: me about the might feel a little sudden, although he 220 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: could claim a health issue, and he's got a health 221 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: issue every day, right, That's the thing, it's the truth. 222 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 2: That's why he has. 223 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: A he has a get out of presidency free card 224 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: whenever he wants to, because he shouldn't be in the 225 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: presidency anymore. 226 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: So, Yeah, I also think that he would get criticized 227 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: for pardoning his son, but I think he could probably 228 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: in his mind argue that the election was a validation 229 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: of the fact that his son was not correct. 230 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: But I think the. 231 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Way that he would do it is I really legitimately 232 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: think that he would pardon Biden, his own son, and 233 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: then also Trump, because at that point they don't Trump 234 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: would be eighty two. By the time this is all done, 235 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: he would have already won the election. He would have 236 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: gotten all of the law fair. Now, this wouldn't impact 237 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: whatever's happening in New York City. It wouldn't impact necessarily 238 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: whatever's happening in Atlanta. Although if Trump can't be convicted 239 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: of what's being charged federally, in D. C. Buck, I 240 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: don't see how the Atlanta case has any merit at all. 241 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: I understand it's under state law, but if it's under 242 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: the presidential powers to act as as he did in 243 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: the six related issues, I don't see how that wouldn't 244 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: also implicate Georgia as well. But that would still be 245 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: something he couldn't pardon himself.

Going to 309 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: get Dana White, going to get Peyton Manning, going getting 310 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: I guess Travis Kelce, whoever it is that they've tried 311 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: to partner with to try to sell bud Light.

I the beer is not different enough 314 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: to me if they don't apologize for what they did 315 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: for me to decide, Hey, I'm going to go consume 316 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: that brand now, I'm just not. And look, Dana White 317 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: took one hundred million dollars from bud Light, and it's 318 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: amazing how suddenly he's convinced that bud Light is super patriotic. 319 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: Maybe if bud Light gave me a hundred million dollars, 320 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: suddenly I would think they were really patriotic too. 321 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: But I think it's you. 322 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: Know, a little bit questionable when somebody gives you one 323 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and then you turn around and you 324 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: talk about how awesome they are. 325 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they gave you a hundred million dollars. 326 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean there's I couldn't become a Democrat 327 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: for one hundred million dollars, clay, But could I pretend 328 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: that I like the taste of bud Light? 329 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: Maybe? Yeah? 330 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean I think there's a lot of people out 331 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,239 Speaker 1: there not in the long like, yeah, if you gave 332 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: me a hundred million dollars, I would claim it's a 333 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: great beer. Right, But they still haven't admitted what they 334 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: did was wrong, and it's probably the most successful conservative 335 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: boycott ever.

We are joined now by Miranda Devine, who 361 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: deserves all the Pulitzers for her Hunter Biden New York 362 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: Post expos a surrounding that Hunter Biden laptop. 363 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: I'll just tee you up here, Miranda. 364 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: What did you think of Hunter Biden's performance and his 365 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: suggestion that this was all political, that he was just 366 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: a poor addict, that there's nothing that he's done wrong, 367 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: and pretty significantly the moving of the goalpost that continues 368 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: to occur, where now he's basically saying that his dad 369 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: did not directly financially participate, whereas Joe Biden back when 370 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: he ran for president said I had absolutely nothing to 371 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: do with Hunter's business. He made no money from China. 372 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of shifting that has gone on here. 373 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: What's your assessment of what you saw? 374 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, the shifting of the goalpost is absolutely breathtaking and 375 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 5: it should have the media with their heads on swivels, 376 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 5: but they just roll with the punches, most of them. 377 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 5: But I thought it was a performance just as you said. 378 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 5: And of course, you know, it's sort of been painted 379 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 5: as being bold and brad courageous, but there's really nothing 380 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 5: courageous about flouting a congressional subpoena when you know that 381 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 5: you've got your father's pardon power in your back pocket. 382 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 5: There's just no consequences ever for Hunter, and I think 383 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 5: that his decision today to hold that kind of Woe 384 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 5: is Me press conference instead of turning up to the 385 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 5: committee hearing where he was supposed to testify, is just 386 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 5: another example of the kind of privilege that the Bidens 387 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 5: think that they're entitled to. They you know, talk about 388 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 5: being above the law. They think they should have special treatment. 389 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 5: Every other witness that's turned up to these householver site 390 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 5: or ways and means of Judiciary committee hearing, it's always 391 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 5: been the same routine. You go and you sit for 392 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 5: a closed door deposition where the lawyers are able to 393 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 5: they have an hour each from both to ask really 394 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 5: in depth questions and get into granular detail rather than 395 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 5: have the clown show that I'm sorry. That's what the 396 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 5: public hearings are up on Capitol Hill, where you know, 397 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 5: Democrats and Republicans get five minutes each and both sides 398 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 5: just grandstand. So that's why you have the closed door 399 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 5: depision and then after that you can have the public 400 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 5: hearing if you like. But you know, Hunter Biden knows that, 401 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 5: and so does his very expensive lawyer, Abby Lowell. So 402 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 5: instead they just chose to do this pr strategy and 403 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 5: Hunter just used the same cynical kind of tactic that 404 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 5: his father has employed to great effect throughout his political career, 405 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 5: and that is painting himself as an objective pity playing 406 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 5: on the public sympathy and empathy. And you know, you 407 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 5: notice that I think he mentioned his addiction, the struggles 408 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 5: that he had, his recovery and so on three or 409 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 5: four times. And you know, as if like he says, 410 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 5: I was, I was, you know, irresponsible with my finances, 411 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 5: it's a lot more than that. And the main I 412 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 5: think the top line, which you mentioned initially was that 413 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 5: he made a point of saying that there's no evidence 414 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 5: that his father, the president, was financially involved in my business. 415 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 5: And that is a very clever, loyally term of those 416 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 5: words have been very carefully passed, and that's because they 417 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 5: know that there's just overwhelming evidence and it comes from 418 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 5: bank records, it comes from testimony from eyewitnesses, it comes 419 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 5: from you know, iCloud warrants, warrants, search warrants of Hunter's 420 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: iCloud and so on. That's Joe Biden met with Hunter, 421 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: Biden's overseas business partners that would give him, you know, 422 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 5: millions of dollars to the tune so far that the 423 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 5: Republicans and the irs have figured out twenty four million 424 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 5: dollars from China and Russia and Ukraine and so on. 425 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 5: Joe Biden made himself available. He knew exactly what was happening, 426 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 5: that he was being sold to the highest bidder. And 427 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 5: you know, that's why I think Andy McCarthy and Jonathan 428 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 5: Turley have made this very you know, important and salient point, 429 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 5: which is that you don't need to prove that any 430 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 5: money went into Joe Biden's bank accounts, even though James 431 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 5: Comer is found I think two hundred and forty thousand 432 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 5: dollars that did go from Jim Biden to Joe Biden's 433 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 5: bank accounts, and some sort of money from Hunters which 434 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 5: they dress up as a loan. But you don't have 435 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 5: to prove that for bribery, which is part of the impeachment, 436 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 5: in one of the impeachment crimes, because these statutes for 437 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 5: bribery just says you have to have provided services in 438 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 5: your official capacity in return for benefits, and those benefits 439 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 5: went to his immediate family, you know, millions of dollars 440 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 5: of benefits, and so Joe Biden appearing, you know, meeting 441 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 5: with Hunter's business partners, showing up on Devon Archer set 442 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 5: up to twenty phone calls. I'm told there are more 443 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 5: on the speaker phone to speak to Hunter's business partners, 444 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 5: you know, the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor, which is 445 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 5: the big quick pro quo which they are most worried about. 446 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 5: All of those things are benefits where Joe Biden used 447 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 5: his official powers to benefit his son and his brother. 448 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: Speaking of Miranda Devine of The New York Post and Miranda, 449 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 3: you know, I think that you're seeing this the way 450 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 3: I am, which is that I don't believe Hunter Biden 451 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 3: is worried at all about the legal consequences, at least 452 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 3: in in terms of incarceration and serving any kind of 453 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 3: a printed prison sentence. We can see that one. But 454 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 3: are the people in and around Biden world concerned that 455 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: this is actually causing real political harm to Joe Biden 456 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: or do they think they'll be able to pull the Oh, 457 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: Hunter is just an addict, and his dad loves them, 458 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: and he had nothing to do with the card, and 459 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: that will be enough. 460 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 5: Look, I think they have the media on their side, 461 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: so they can manipulate and control the narrative in any 462 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 5: way they like, I think the fact that you've had 463 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 5: this week, some Democrats have come out, I think like 464 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 5: Chris Murphy and have effectively thrown Hunter runs the bus 465 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 5: and just said, look, you know, he's troubled, he's done 466 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 5: terrible things, blah blah blah. But they just cauterize him 467 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 5: from his father and they will just and I think 468 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 5: there are a lot of people you just look at 469 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 5: the Washington Post comments under stories in the New York 470 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 5: Times who are very ready to forgive Joe Biden and 471 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 5: to say his only crime was to be a loving father, 472 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 5: and he suffered enough tragedy in his life they both 473 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 5: have leave them alone in cruel Republicans, and it's very cynical. 474 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 5: And I guess that's what Joe Biden has done throughout 475 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 5: his career. I mean, he's had forty some odd years 476 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 5: to cement this image of himself as honest, Joe, modest, Joe, 477 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 5: Joe who's you know, full of empathy because of the 478 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 5: tragedies that he you know, the legitimate tragedies that he 479 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 5: has suffered in his life, but he's leaveraged that politically, 480 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 5: you know, the photo. I always think of this when 481 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 5: his wife and baby daughter were killed in a car 482 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 5: crash at the very beginning of his senate career and 483 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 5: Hunter and his brother Bo were just little, tiny tops 484 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 5: and they were badly injured in the car accident. And 485 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 5: so they're in hospital, all bandaged up, and you know, 486 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: little one, you know, motherless boys, lying on this hospital bed, 487 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 5: and Joe Biden invited the photographers and the media scrum 488 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 5: into that room to photograph him while he was being 489 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 5: sworn in. And you know, that touched the heartstrings of 490 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 5: two generations of American voters. And you can't help but 491 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 5: feel empathy and sympathy when you see that photograph. But 492 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 5: when you step back a little bit and think about it, 493 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 5: Joe Biden's used that photograph in every election campaign since. 494 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 5: And why didn't he, you know, get sworn in sworn. 495 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: In anywhere other than his kid's hospital room is a 496 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: very valid question. 497 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he could have, And they're right in the foreground. 498 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 5: He's used that every time, and it's quite sickening. You know, 499 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 5: even when he met with the family members of the 500 00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 5: thirteen fallen service personnel who were killed in car in 501 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 5: the watched his watched withdrawal from Afghanistan. You know, you 502 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 5: saw then how genuine his empathy is. Those parents were 503 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 5: disgusted by his behavior. He's looking at his watch constantly 504 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 5: as the bodies were being brought home. And then when 505 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 5: he talked to them, they said that he just talked 506 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 5: about himself. He just talked about his son Bo, who 507 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 5: died several years earlier of brain cancer, not from falling 508 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 5: in the line of duty as their sons did because 509 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 5: of the incompetent president who was seeking a timeline that 510 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 5: suited him politically to get out of Afghanistan. So I 511 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 5: think that, you know, over time, the mythology that Joe 512 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 5: Biden has built around himself is crumbling. Honest, Joe certainly 513 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 5: is modest. Joe. I mean, he has a champagne lifestyle 514 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 5: and so does his entire family. And you can see 515 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 5: that just from the indictment of hunt of Biden, where 516 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 5: you know, the millions of dollars that he lavished on 517 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 5: himself and his own indulgences from hookers to you know, 518 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 5: tens of thousands of dollars on clothes. I think it 519 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 5: was seventy thousand dollars on new teeth. You know, hotel rooms, 520 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 5: lavish hotel rooms. You know money is no object. 521 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: And do you feel, by the way, Miranda, last question 522 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: for you, and thank you for the time here, do 523 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: you feel some measure of vindication that years now after 524 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: your initial report, basically, if you look at that those 525 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: charges fought filed for tax evasion issues with Hunter, all 526 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: of it's now been proven to be true. I mean, 527 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure you read that complaint. A lot of it 528 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: was reporting that you had previously put out there based 529 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: on the laptop. Is that some form of personal validation 530 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: now that it took three years and anybody with a 531 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: functional brain who'd read your reporting knew how valid it was. 532 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: But now it's out there in the public domain and 533 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: impossible to ignore. 534 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of. I mean, look, it was so obviously true, 535 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 5: and one with Arthur brain and who was honest knew 536 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 5: it was true from the start. And Joe Biden's continual 537 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 5: lies and cover up that the immense cover up from 538 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 5: the DOJ and the FBI and the CIA shows that 539 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 5: they obviously have something to hide. And I don't think 540 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 5: we've uncovered it all yet. So let's hope that you know, 541 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 5: justice does come and accountability does come. And that the 542 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 5: American people, especially that part of the public that is 543 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 5: being a gas lit by their media sources, that they 544 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 5: actually come to their senses and realize the truth and 545 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 5: that something is done about this corruption in Washington, because 546 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 5: if the Biden family gets away with this outright corruption 547 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 5: and selling out America's national security, then you know, the 548 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 5: next person that does it will be even worse. 549 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 3: Brand of devine.

Then we'll also talk to 599 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 3: Julie Kelly the next hour about how this could affect 600 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 3: Jay six prisoners and some of the some of the 601 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 3: downstream effects of that. So there's big stuff coming together here. 602 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 3: And I'll just say, Clay, I wanted to take a 603 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 3: couple of calls here, but if the legal thing against Trump, 604 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what we call it, Like 605 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 3: the legal I've set assault onslaught stratagem, whatever you want 606 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: to call it, if it basically collapses before we even 607 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 3: get into summer twenty twenty four, meaning it's either delayed 608 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 3: or you know, maybe even some of this stuff isn't 609 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 3: gonna isn't going to survive appeal and all the rest 610 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 3: of it. I think Democrats and that I think than 611 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 3: it is panic button time for them with I don't 612 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 3: know what they're going to do, but they've been in 613 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 3: the back of their minds this whole time thinking doesn't 614 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 3: matter that it's Biden, because we're gonna get Trump with 615 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 3: this stuff. 616 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 617 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: I think the news today and we're going to talk 618 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: with Andy McCarthy here in a few minutes, and we'll 619 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: also talk about it with Julie Kelly. I think it's 620 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: a bombshell, and I don't think most people have realized 621 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: how significant it is. Again, the Supreme Court is taking 622 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: up a case to challenge the federal government's use of 623 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: half of the charges that have been brought two of 624 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: the four that have been brought against Trump by Jack 625 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 1: Smith for January sixth related misdeeds. That's a big deal 626 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: because at a minimum, I don't understand And we'll talk 627 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: with Andy McCarthy about this. How in the world they 628 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: can now hope to start this trial on March fourth. 629 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 1: And to your point, Buck, I think he gets bumped 630 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: back to summer. Maybe it doesn't even end up happening 631 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: at all. And I haven't heard a lot of people 632 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: even analyze this because I feel like this is the 633 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: lynch pin that must have for any chance for Joe 634 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: Biden to really be able to win is to play 635 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: all this law fair. John in Columbus, Ohio, a couple 636 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: of callers, what you got for us? 637 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 6: Good, good afternoon. When you're talking about bud Light Budweiser. 638 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 6: My biggest problem was, Hey, I've been drinking it for 639 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 6: almost forty years and taking a lot of guff for it. 640 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 6: And when she came out and said we're trying to 641 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 6: change the image of the people drinking our product. Yeah, 642 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 6: they were basically a dressing and they also called it 643 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 6: a fraddy beer. When I was in college, no one 644 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 6: drinks the Light because it was too expensive. 645 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: They drank that right light. You know, look, it's a 646 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 2: very good point, thank you. 647 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,479 Speaker 3: You know, it would be like us coming on radio 648 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 3: being like, yeah, we just people who like America.

You got twenty seconds. 660 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 6: Okay, I've never heard of the drift whether somebody can 661 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 6: be pardoned before they've been convicted. 662 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: Yes, it's a fantastic question. The answer is yes, they 663 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: could do that. Remember Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon from 664 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: all potential crimes that he could face right after he 665 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: took presidency. 666 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 3: Bill Clinton pardoned financier and Democrat donor Mark Rich after 667 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 3: he fled justice to live in Switzerland. 668 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 2: There you go,
