We are joined now by legendary 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say legendary lawyer Alan Dershowitz, 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: who has talked about basically everything under the sun. He 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: is professor and Maritus at Harvard Law School, number one 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: New York Times bestselling author, written fifty books. His latest, 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: The Price of Principle, Why Integrity Is Worth the Consequences, 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: is out now. Would encourage all of you to check 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: it out. Professor Dershowitz, I just want to dive in 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: big question here for you, and I've seen you discuss 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: this a lot on Fox News, But based on everything 22 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: that you have seen so far, and I know we're 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: waiting to see what's going to happen with the affidavit 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: and whether it's going to be released. Did Attorney General 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Merrit Garland make the right decision to sign the warrant 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 1: leading to the warrant application that led to the raid 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: at Marlago based on what I now know, he made 28 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: the categorically wrong decision based on his own principles. He 29 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: said at the statement that the Justice Department generally prefers 30 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: less intrusive methods and uses them whenever possible. A subpoena 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: had been issued, they had been negotiations. All the Justice 32 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: Appartment had to do was enforce the subpoena, go to 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: court and say, your honor, we haven't been able to 34 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: reach a resolution. There's a subpoena out there, or for 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: them to bring the boxes in tomorrow. Then you go 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: through them and you decide which documents classified declassified privilege. 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: That's the way it should have been done. Now, the 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: the affidavid, when it's released, may show you know that 39 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: there are dead bodies lying around and and you know 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: nuclear codes lying around. I don't think so, because if 41 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: they were, there would have been much greater speed even 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: when they got to search warn't they waited a couple 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: of days before they did it and before they implemented it. 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: Press deersh Witz. Are you of the mind that the 45 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: I know right now there's the hearing underway on the 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: Moral Lago raid Affidavid? Is your expectation that it will 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: be released? What are the considerations that the court has 48 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: to make here? And assuming it is released, are what 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: are we looking for? I mean, what are what are 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: some of the things that you're going to be looking 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: at in terms of the next steps. Here's what the 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: judge ought to do. Whether he'll do it or not, 53 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't go to judge. He ought 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: to call the government in and say, look, there's a 55 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: presumption and savor of transparent see in favor of public disclosure. 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: If you think there are any things in the affidavit 57 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: that require secrecy because of ongoing investigations, the burden approves 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: on you show me which sentence, which words, which paragraphs, 59 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: and I'll redact them and then we'll produce the rest 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: of the affidavit that's unredacted. I don't know whether the 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: judge is going to do that. He may just say no, 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep the secret, and then possibly there 63 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: could be an appeal by the media. Remember there's a 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: media that are involved as well as Trump. Look, I 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: have a policy that I've had two years and I 66 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: write about it in my book The Price of Principle. 67 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: If you have two sides through a dispute, and one 68 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: side says, produce everything, no secrets, produce everything. The other 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: side says hide everything, no production, hide everything, I generally 70 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: believe the side that wants everything out, and I don't 71 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: believe the side that wants secrets. I've had a lot 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 1: of experience with the government's claiming secrecy and crying will 73 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: and its being false, starting with the Pentagon paper's case. 74 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I was one of the lawyers in the Pentagon Papers case, 75 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: and the government represented to the Supreme Court that if 76 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: the Pentagon papers were revealed, it would pose a great 77 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: danger to American national security. They were revealed and nothing happened. 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: And since that time, I've been very skeptical of government 79 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: claims confidentiality and secrecy, and I think the burden approof 80 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: should always be on those who try to keep things secret. 81 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: We're talking to Alan Dershowitz. You've been very strong on this, 82 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. I know it hasn't necessarily endeared 83 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: you to left wing East Coast East Coast friends and family, 84 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure, but you've stood on principle a principle over 85 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: you know the expediency of politics, and I just want 86 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: you to expound upon this idea. If what Merrick Garland did, 87 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: he is the head of the Department of Justice for 88 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: the chief political rival of Donald Trump, and he is 89 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: investigating Donald Trump. We never I'm a lawyer to professor, 90 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: We've never seen anything like this. I'm stunned. I think 91 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: you've said it. I've said it on this show. I'm 92 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: stunned that no one is asking how is Merrick Garland 93 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: even able to lead this investigation? Shouldn't he have to 94 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: recuse himself? In your mind? And if the president is 95 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: you can investigate the chief political rivals of your president, 96 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: aren't we going to see this go and spend in 97 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: so many dangerous directions on a national perspective? I completely agree. 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: That's why there has to be structural change in the 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: Justice Department. Right now, the Attorney generalized two conflicting jobs. 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: They're totally inconsistent. One job is to help the president 101 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: get reelected, to be the legal advisor basically to the 102 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: incumbent president, to be loyal to the president, loyal to 103 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: the party he represents the Democrats, and do everything he 104 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: can to try to help the president get reelected. That's 105 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: one job. The second job is to be completely nonful 106 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: and make decisions involving prosecution that are based on the 107 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: merits without any consideration of the political advantage to one side. 108 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: Now you know, I know Merrick Garland. I supported him 109 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court. I think he's a decent guy. 110 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: Nobody can perform that magic trick on the one hand 111 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: of being non political, on the other hand, being loyal 112 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: as a cabinet member to this administration. You know, almost 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: every other European country breaks up the two jobs. There's 114 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: one job Minister of Justice or an advisor to the 115 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: Prime minister, advisor to the king, advisor to the president. 116 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: And the other job is Director of Public Prosecutions, usually 117 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: a civil service job, former judge. They decide matters of 118 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: who gets prosecuted or not in a non political way, 119 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: that's the way it should be in the United States. 120 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: Garland cannot perform this job. No attorney general can, and 121 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: it's a deep flaw in our system. Speaking to Professor 122 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: Alan Jerschowitz of Harvard Law Law School, he's got a 123 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: new book out, The Price of Principle, Why Integrity is 124 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: Worth the Consequence? To go pick up a copy today. Professor, 125 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: I've spoken some people, including a former Attorney general, who 126 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: believe that it is likely, not certain, but likely, that 127 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: there will still be some charge brought, some criminal charge 128 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: against former President Trump. Do you also view it as likely? 129 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: And then even you know one way or the other, 130 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: if it did happen, what do you think that looks like? 131 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: How does that go based on the evidence we now 132 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: have seen. I think it's very unlikely. I think Garland 133 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: would not want to divide the country even further by 134 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: bringing a close case, a close case case involving classification, 135 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: any close case against the president. However, if he finds 136 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: smoking guns, if he finds Nixon type crimes, that's another matter. 137 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: In order to bring a charge, the criteria I always 138 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: have is that basically it has to be so clear 139 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: that Republicans would join him as they did. When Nixon 140 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: got the force to resign, the Republicans were on the 141 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: side of him being resigned of his resigning. That's not 142 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the case today. Today. The division along partisan lines, and 143 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that the Attorney General will want to 144 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: divide the country even further by indicting the future nominee 145 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: of the opposing party. You really have to have the 146 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: strongest possible case for that. Now, you know, people today 147 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: are willing to do anything to get Trump. Take for example, 148 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: my former colleague, Lawrence Tribe, professor at Harvard Law School, 149 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: who said on CNN that he was urging his former student, 150 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: the Attorney General to prosecute Donald Trump for attempting to 151 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: murder attempting to murder Vice President Tense. Now, that is 152 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: the single stupidest thing I've ever heard of law professor 153 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: say in the sixty years I've been practicing law. But 154 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: he is adored by the last because he's trying to 155 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: get Trump. And if he trying to get Trump, that 156 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: trumps everything. Trump Trump's the constitution, Trump, Trump's civil rights, 157 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: Trump Trump's civil liberties, Trump, Trump's equal protection, due process. 158 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: If you're trying to get Trump, you're excused. I'll give 159 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: you another example of the former The daughter of the 160 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: former President of the United States, John Kennedy's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, 161 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: was seated next to me at a dinner party and 162 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: she said to me, if I knew you had been invited, 163 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: I would never have come. In other words, she's saying 164 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: she wouldn't want to be in the same room with me. 165 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: She's the ambassador to Australia from the United States. He's 166 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: supposed to sit in the same room with the heads 167 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: of China and North Korea, and she can't sit in 168 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: the same room with a man who exercised his constitutional 169 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: rights to defend the president. I wish she had read 170 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: her father's book, The Profiles, and heard maybe she'd have 171 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: a different view. But it's Trump derangement syndrome. You mentioned 172 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: a word Trump, and people just go crazy. They lose 173 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: their bearings, they become Donald Trump, they become Caroline Kennedy, 174 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: and it's very, very dangerous to civilities. We're talking to 175 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz. You mentioned that you know Marek Garland and 176 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: found them to be a reasonable person. In fact, you 177 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: even supported his potential ascension to the Supreme Court. You 178 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: don't think he's going to charge, But the decision to 179 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: even sign off on these warrants was a massive step 180 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: from a president precedent setting perspective. What is going on 181 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: with him? How would you psychoanalyze? You said he's got 182 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: an untenable position. I think that's likely true. But if 183 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be so moderate, reasoned and rational, this 184 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: decision to grant the warrants and sign off on this 185 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: application seems to be the opposite of that. And once 186 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: the train starts moving, Professor, and you're saying, oh, we're 187 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: raiding Trump, everyone out there saying, well, you now have 188 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: to charge him because you did the raid. How does 189 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: he stop this sort of crazy train that he is 190 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: allowed to be unleashed and not charge him. Well, I 191 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: think he can. I think he can say the way 192 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: Komey said with Hillary, Clinton has done a thorough investigation. 193 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: I've looked at everything I could talk to the search. 194 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm not apologizing to that, but based on everything we've 195 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: gotten and the search, I still criticize Trump for not 196 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: disclosing and not for dividing the material to the archives, 197 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: but there's not enough you're to prosecute. That's what he 198 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: should do, based on the current information. Now, what do 199 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: you think the time frame on that would be? Yeah, 200 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: what would be the timeframe on this making a statement 201 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: like that in your mind? Months? Probably toward the end 202 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: of the year is one he would And what the 203 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: statement and that's you know, not too you know, that's 204 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: after the midterm elections. I don't know if we would 205 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: do it before or after the midterm elections, because just 206 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: like Komy's statement probably had an impact on the twenty 207 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: sixteen president ancial election, anything he says could have an 208 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: impact on the midterm election. So far, I think that 209 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: if they were trying to achieve a political goal, it's backfired. 210 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: I think this has helped Trump. I think it's hurt 211 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats. I'm a liberal Democrat. I voted twice against 212 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. One of the reasons I don't want them 213 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: to be disqualified from burning a third time as I 214 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: want to exercise my fundamental constitutional rights to vote against them. 215 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: I am not a Trump supporter. I'm a supporter of 216 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: the constitution. The constitutions on Trump's side, and so I'm 217 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: supporting Trump constitutionally. But you know, the folks in Martha's 218 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: Vineyard in the East Coast don't seem to understand that 219 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: they go back to the days of McCarthy, where you 220 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: associate a lawyer with the lawyer's client. And that's just 221 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: one more for you, Professor Dershowitz. Should there be a 222 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: special council appointed around Hunter Biden, not just because of 223 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: the hookers and the drugs and the illegal firearms allege, 224 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: the legal firearms possession issue, but buying off the access 225 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: to his father who was then vice president and now 226 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: of course president, the paintings that are going for hundreds 227 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars. How can this DOJ in any 228 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: capacity oversee a fair investigation of the sitting president's son. 229 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: That's a very good point. I generally don't favor special 230 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: prosecutors if they put a target on the back of 231 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: the individual and then decide whether there's enough evidence to 232 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: get him. But I think in this case, if you're 233 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: going to have special prosecutors, this sounds like a good 234 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: case for a former judge, highly respected, nonpartisan, to be 235 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: looking at the evidence. Some of the evidence that you 236 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: mentioned probably would support state prosecutions rather than federal prosecutions, 237 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: but still there's probably enough there to look into federal prosecutions. 238 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: Look I hope he's not guilty. I don't like to 239 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: criminalize political differences, but the same rule has to have 240 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: life and Democrats and Republicans for a former president, future president, 241 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: or the son of a president. You can't have different 242 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: rules for different people. That leads me to this one 243 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: quick question for you, how do we get back to normalcy? 244 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: You pointed out that it used to be that who 245 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: you represented as a lawyer wasn't a sign of your 246 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: fit or awful opinions yourself. That was understood. John Adams 247 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: represented the Boston massacre defendants, right, Nobody was suggesting that 248 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: he was on the side of the British. But to 249 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: your point, everyone has gone insane. It feels like in 250 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the legal profession over Trump. How does normalcy return? Well, 251 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: that's the last chapter of my book, The Price of Principle. 252 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: I think normalcy returns by having programs like yours speaking out, 253 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: letting the truth come out, letting things like the affidavit 254 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: be made publics, if people can judge for themselves, and 255 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: a sense of tolerance, people talking to each other. You know, 256 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: I used to debate William Buckle all the time on television, 257 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: and I debated him at times thousands of people in Harvard, 258 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: and you know, we fought like children. But then we 259 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: had a drink together. He called me his favorite liberal, 260 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: and I was he was my favorite conservative. Today, you 261 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: couldn't have Lincoln Douglas debates. Half the country would say 262 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: we believe Lincoln, we don't want to hear Douglas, and 263 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: the other half would say, we believe Douglas, we don't 264 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: want to hear Lincoln. And that's the fourth of universities. 265 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: Universities don't want to confront students with any points of 266 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: view other than ones they already agreed to. Well, Lawrence Summers, 267 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: the former president of Harvard, and an interview today, said 268 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: that the new McCarthyism has infected universities. They don't allow 269 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: contrary views to be presented. In fact, if you demand 270 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: meritocracy today in a university, it's called the micro you know, sin, 271 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: basically aggression, because you can't have meritocracy. Well, Martin Luther 272 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: King talked about the day that his children will be 273 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: judged by the quality of their character, not the color 274 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: of their skin, and so that's meritocracy. But you can't 275 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: say meritocracy on university campuses today without taking into trouble. 276 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: I appreciate everything you're saying, everything you're doing. I think 277 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: your voice is an important one. And I appreciate the 278 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: fact that you're willing sometimes to lose some friends and 279 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: colleagues who may have loved your work for years, to 280 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: stand on principle over the passions of the moment. Thank 281 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: you for coming on with us. But they take it 282 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: out of my wife, they take it out of my children, 283 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: just the way it had happened during McCarthey is it. 284 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: And that's unacceptable and intolerable in America. Amen, And you're 285 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: going to be They love to talk about the right 286 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: and wrong side of histories. I'm very confident, Professor Durshowitz, 287 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: that you are going to be on the right side 288 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: of history in the decades to come. Thank you, sir, 289 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: Thank you. More often than not, packaged foods and supermarkets 290 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: are made with farming products from last year's harvest.

Breaking news that fits 308 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: exactly what we were just talking about with Alan Dershowitz. 309 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm reading from Foxnews dot com. This just broke within 310 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: the last couple of minutes. US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt 311 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: on Thursday ordered some of the documents connected to the 312 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: FBI raid to be unsealed today. He says that parts 313 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: of this affidavit should not be sealed. This has now 314 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: got the government does one week to submit proposed redactions. 315 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: But it appears that at least part of this affidavit 316 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: that was used to justify the raid on President Donald 317 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: Trump's home at Mara Lago is going to be unsealed, 318 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: and you and I and everybody else out there may 319 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: be able to read this sooner rather than later. This 320 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: is a big win for Donald Trump and Republicans. This 321 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: is breaking news. We will continue to discuss when we 322 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: come back in the final half hour the Welcome Back 323 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show Buck. At some point 324 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: we need to come up with a breaking news sounder, 325 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: because it feels like we have got a lot of 326 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: breaking news that typically comes down during the time that 327 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: we are on the air. You heard us talking with 328 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz. He was phenomenal discussing this affidavit hearing the 329 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: judge is already issued a ruling, and I am reading 330 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: directly from some of that ruling and the headline this 331 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: is from NBC News right now. The judges ordered portions 332 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: at least of the Mara Lago search affidavit to be unsealed. 333 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: This is a big deal. Here's a quotes from his decision. 334 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: Buck on my initial careful review. There are portions of 335 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: it that can be unsealed. This is Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt. 336 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: He is the judge who allowed this warrant to be issued, 337 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: which allowed the raid to take place at Mara Lago. 338 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: The top government lawyers had argued that this could not 339 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: be released in any way because it would jeopardize the investigation. 340 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: The judge said he would quote give the government a 341 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: full and fair opportunity to make redactions. Ordered those redactions 342 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: to be returned to him by next Thursday. He said 343 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: he would review their request and then either order its 344 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: release if he agrees with the redaction, or hold a 345 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: closed door hearing with the government if he disagrees with 346 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: the moves that he is making. That is the big, 347 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: the big decision here that has just come down. So 348 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: I know, I know how this is going to go. 349 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: Anyone want to skip to the end of this. Here's 350 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Having looked at lots and lots 351 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: and lots of classified in my ears of the agency 352 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: and then also the redactions process, judges tend to be 353 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: very deferential to the government when it comes to what 354 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: is considered secret and sensitive and classified. So here's how 355 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: this will play out. They'll release this Affidavid, and there'll 356 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: be some generalizations in there, super secret important stuff needed 357 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: to be found at Mara Lago and then be blacked out, 358 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: blacked out, blacked out, and then more super secret information 359 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: we were looking for regarding blacked out, blacked out. And 360 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: here's what they're gonna say. Oh, look, the Democrats will 361 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: claim that this justifies the search, that this was all 362 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: done on the up and up, and people on the 363 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: right are going to say, I don't trust that they're 364 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: actually redacting things that would really hurt national security if 365 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: it was known. Remember, it's not the actual documents, it's 366 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: what kind of document basically they are looking for. That's 367 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: what the expectation is here. I also want to know 368 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: is there anything relating to January six that would be 369 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: in this affidavit? So Clay, the plot thickens, but this 370 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: also extends, This keeps going. This is not going to 371 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: solve it even when they release it. Yeah, and here's 372 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: what I would say, Buck, that is maybe a little 373 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: bit of an interesting angle here that isn't being talked 374 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: about a great deal. All of the news media is 375 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: actually on Trump's side here, wanting this affidavit to be released. 376 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: So New York Time, NBC, CBS, the Washington Post, all 377 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: of these places that ordinarily would be lined up against Trump. 378 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: And look, we don't know what, but this is for 379 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: their business model. Right, there's a huge story. Correct, But 380 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: that is kind of an intriguing angle here. And I 381 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: will just say this, this magistrate judge has come under 382 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: a lot of heat. The best way for him to 383 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: relinquish the heat on himself personally is by publishing the 384 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: accadet the former Epstein defense attorney. Now, Judge guy is 385 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: coming under heat. But now all of a sudden, judges 386 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: being underheat is unacceptable. When we talked about this earlier 387 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: in the show, the AP came out with a story 388 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: Buck saying, oh, right wing activists are targeting judges with 389 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: rulings that they don't like. And a lot of people 390 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: out there were saying, yeah, you mean, like when a 391 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: left wing activist tried to assassinate Brett Cabitaugh. It's not 392 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: even just the assassination attempt, obviously, that's that's something worth 393 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: reminding everybody of. It's that essentially the entire Democrat already 394 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: was supportive of the explicitly illegal intimidation protests outside the 395 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: homes of Supreme Court justices in the run up to 396 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: the Dabbs decision after the League. By the way, how 397 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: is that Supreme Court League investigation going? Everybody? What a shock? 398 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: You mean that they're not just getting right down to 399 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: the bottom of it right away. They don't want to 400 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: out one of Sotomayor's clerks because I think we all 401 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: believe that's probably who was engaged in it. We don't 402 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: know for a fact, but likely one of the liberal judges. 403 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: You could pick one if you like. Point is, they 404 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: have a very different feeling about judges when they don't 405 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: like them. And this is something if to remember about Democrats, 406 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: a central principle, as they have no principles. Alan Dershowitz 407 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: timing on having him on the first hour of this. 408 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: If you didn't, If you're just getting in your car 409 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: right now and you for some reason missed our conversation 410 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: with Alan Dershowitz, you need to go listen to that 411 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: on the podcast. You need to go check out clayinbuck 412 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: dot com. You can go read the transcript yourself. If 413 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: you don't have time to listen to it Buck. Alan 414 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: Dershowitz has been one of the few attorneys that has 415 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: stood on principle throughout the Trump era. And he's no 416 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,719 Speaker 1: fan of Trump individually. From heat yeah, say you hope 417 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: to get to vote against him again, but the principles 418 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: that he is standing on in favor of, ie, the 419 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: constitutional republic upon which our country is based. His prediction 420 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: that Merrick Garland is going to come out and issue 421 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: a James Komy like statement where he castigates Trump for 422 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: his behavior as it pertains to these documents, but says 423 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: there are not evidence like like James Komy did for 424 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. If that happens, left wingers in this country 425 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: are going to lose their mind because he is the 426 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: new Robert Muller. Now. Now Merrick Garland is their savior. 427 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: He's gonna hold Trump accountable. We use the analogy of 428 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: Lucy and the football. If he comes out and eventually says, hey, 429 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: Trump behaved in a way that I wouldn't advocate for, 430 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: but it's not a crime, they're gonna lose their minds. 431 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: My concern is after the warrants were granted and the raid, 432 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm worried that he's not going to have the spine 433 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: to be willing to do that. Well, you also have 434 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: to look at the reality here is the Democrats continue 435 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: along this trend of wanting to imprison their political opponent. Yes, 436 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: this is now, This has become normalized for years. This 437 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: isn't just the Marlago raid. This goes back to Russia 438 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: collusion because of their Trump's Arrangement syndrome and their obsession 439 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: with the massive lie that Donald Trump worked with Vladimir 440 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: Putin to steal, which when you say it out loud, now, 441 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: doesn't it sound like something a crazy person would say, 442 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: does worked with the Kremlin to steal? How exactly how 443 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: is that going to work? Oh? With some Facebook ads 444 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: that said mean things about Hillary, guess what, there are 445 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: a lot of those out there already. But what you 446 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: see here is that they don't care about any of 447 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: the constitutional principles involved. They just want to lock up 448 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: their political opponents. Maybe if they had better arguments, maybe 449 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: if they had better ideas for how to improve life 450 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: for people in this country, for how to make this 451 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: a prosperous and more law abiding country a more prosperous 452 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: and law abiding country, they would feel like they wouldn't 453 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: have to keep trying to throw people in prison. Wasn't it. 454 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: Lavrentzi Barrier, the head of the KGB for a while, 455 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: said you show me the man, I'll show you the crime. 456 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing with Republican after a Republican. I've 457 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: gone down the list before, no doubt we come back. 458 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: We'll close out the show Thursday edition from Salt Lake City, 459 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: but again, encourage you to go.

With inflation the way 494 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: it is, it just makes sense to consider a new, 495 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: more reliable approach. Owning gold is one way gold has 496 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: been proven overtime to hold value when markets become turbulent. 497 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: And there's a company I've relied on for years for 498 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: my gold purchases and you should too, the Oxford Gold Group. 499 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: I find value in purchasing real gold. I've got gold 500 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: coins at home, I've got gold bars, I've got silver, 501 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: all from the Oxford Gold Group. But the industry leader, 502 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: given their advice and their best pricing guarantees.

Obviously, the unsealing of the Affid 507 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: David that just happened is going to be something we're 508 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: looking at in the days ahead. The Morlago raid will 509 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: get a whole lot of attention. I do worry that 510 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: the distraction from the disaster of the Biden regime is 511 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: to the Democrat benefit. Unfortunately, that if nothing else, Just 512 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: like I said about Mueller, even if they don't get Trump, 513 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: at the end of Muller, the process was the punishment. 514 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: They were grinding down the administration with bureaucratic and legalistic garbage. 515 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: I worry about that with Democrats. And that's all the 516 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: way I'm saying. I did want to take a moment 517 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: to just give a little hat tip to the Prime 518 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: Minister of Finland, who is once again in the headlods. 519 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: For those of you and a lot of the ladies 520 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: right now are like, wait, what the guys listening to 521 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: this who have been looking at the news today or saying, oh, yeah, 522 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Finland out partying. Apparently, Clay, we 523 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: are not a puritanical world anymore. I think if a 524 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: prime minister wants to go out and have a little 525 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: dance party, if she's like thirty and the prime minister, 526 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: she should be allowed to. This is I feel like 527 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: we need a hottest leader of all time rankings, the 528 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Finland, who what's her name? Do we know? 529 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't I mean? For she is good looking even for 530 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: a normal person, right like there's politicians good looking political 531 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: I would say you and I are sna Marina. I 532 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: would say, you and I are radio show host? Good 533 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: looking right, Like I'll take there's a lot of there's 534 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: a lot of dudes who do and women who do radio, 535 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: and they do radio for a reason. Like I used 536 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: to say back in the day when I did sports sports, 537 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: if you went into the press box, this was not 538 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: a really good looking collection of people. Buy in March, 539 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm decent looking for a sports writer. 540 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: I think I'm decent looking for a radio host. This 541 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: woman is smoking hot for the leader of a country. 542 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: The second Waynes World movie, there's actually a radio joke 543 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: where this guy they're looking for the radio host named 544 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: Handsome Dan. Yeah, and they have some male model guy 545 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: walk in and he's actually just just doing they on 546 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,479 Speaker 1: the radio. And then Handsome Dan walks in and they 547 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: obviously that he's like a comedian. They make him look pretty. 548 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: You know, radio is we're generally not known for our 549 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: abs here. I'm just gonna say it. I will say that. 550 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: But snamar And she's got she's got a future in politics, 551 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: probably in Hollywood, Instagram influencer. But there I'm surprised. In 552 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: Finland they give her isn't this one of these countries 553 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: where they're like, oh, it's all very free and you know, footlooser. 554 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: I think for initially it was because she wasn't complying 555 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: with some COVID policies, right. She was out partying late, 556 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: and I evidently even in Finland, where everybody's super you know, 557 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: relaxed and laid back, they were upset that she was saying, 558 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, this COVID policy doesn't make sense. I want 559 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: to go out and drink and party. And I think 560 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: you could say, well, how does the leader of the 561 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: free world need to be out drinking and partying all 562 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: the time. That's one of my favorite Trump Trump quotes ever, 563 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: he said, I don't drink at all. Can you imagine 564 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: if I did drink, you know, which is actually really funny. 565 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: She's thirty six years old leader of Finland, which is 566 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: obviously now joining NATO, so that's got that going forward, 567 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: which is nice. And she's been spotted clubbing in Helsinki 568 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: with friends early in the morning for hours clay without 569 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: her official phone, just in case, I don't know, like 570 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: the Russians invaded or something. I mean, what's the big concern. 571 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: I think she should be allowed to go out at 572 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning and party a little bit. 573 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: Finland's small enough where they could find her if they 574 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: needed to, you know what I mean. I think NATO 575 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: would find her. And it is interesting that they are 576 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: joining NATO. Um and uh and yeah, we'll see and 577 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: probably I'll check my mentions. People'll say, why would you 578 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: even mention the attractiveness of Finland's prime minister? And I 579 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: would just say, well, she is good looking. Are we 580 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: supposed to pretend this is not the story? The reason 581 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: why people care, I think really about her out partying 582 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: all the time is because she's good looking. One unspoken 583 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: one thing that has unspoken in the world of politics 584 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: in America and all over the world, at least in 585 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: democratic and free societies. Being a good looking, period is 586 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: helpful in politics. Being a good looking woman also helpful 587 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: in politics. Just a fact. It's just the truth. There's 588 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: all the talk, remember Buck, over the years about privilege. 589 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: There's obsession. You know, white privilege. You've got, certainly you 590 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: were here in page. Is a whole other level of privilege. 591 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: Highest privilege out there. I think it's hot privilege number one. 592 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: I think athlete privilege is number two. Because athletes can 593 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: basically get away with anything if they're good enough at 594 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: their sport. Really good looking people can get away with 595 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: them and they don't even realize how much they're they're 596 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: getting away with. And I think it's hot privilege one, 597 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: then athlete privilege, and then we can argue about how 598 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: the ascendency goes from there. So you're up on the 599 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: politics of Finland right now, folks, which I know is 600 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: very Again, I think a lot of the ladies listener 601 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: are like, why are they're wasting her time with this? 602 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: But for a lot of the gentlemen listening, prickly, the 603 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: single ones in their thirties and forties, et cetera, they're 604 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: saying Prime Minister of Finland. Respect. So there's that going 605 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: on for us, which is nice, Clay, I gotta say. 606 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: I also think that they're you know, they're bringing back 607 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: another random story. You see this. This is like a 608 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: Jurassic Park theme or Jurassic Park style maneuver. They're using 609 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: DNA and stem cell therapy. I think, to bring back 610 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: to Tasmanian tigers. Yeah, I saw this. Now I want 611 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: to Tasmanian tiger as a pet. This is the problem. 612 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: This is what happens this is I think gonna be 613 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: really intriguing because they've been talking about trying to bring 614 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: back the wooly mammoth. If you remember a little big 615 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: for my apartment, I'm just gonna throw out there, but 616 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: still cool. They keep finding old wooly mammoths and they 617 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: think using existing elephant DNA, they can reconstitute it. I 618 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: just hope Fauci's not in charge. Every time we talk 619 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: about using labs to create anything, I'm just sitting around thinking, 620 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: I hope Fauci is not involved in the saber tooth 621 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: tiger Tasmanian devil in the wooly mammoth, because we're all 622 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: gonna end up dead if Fauci's in charge of bringing 623 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: back any of these violent past predators. I can see 624 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: the press confidence right now. Saber tooth tigers were here first. 625 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: A few of your neighbors may be consumed partially. They 626 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: may have all of their flesh stripped from their bones 627 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: if they're in a congregate setting by the saber tooth 628 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: tiger congregate setting animated. But the wooly mammoth, I will say, 629 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: keep at least sixty feet of distance because they move 630 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,959 Speaker 1: fast folks, their lodge and angry, so very important stuff there. 631 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: So we've got so much going on, friend to talk 632 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: about Tomorrow. We'll be here with you again in Salt 633 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: Lake City. So thanks for rolling with us. Maybe I'll 634 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: go do a little more research on the tech for 635 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: those are what is the Tasmanian tiger when ex thing? 636 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: Isn't it kind of like the saber tooth tiger? Yes, 637 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: the same idea. So in Jurassic Park they used mosquito 638 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: an amber, which was a brilliant idea for a book 639 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: back today. You know, I'm a Michael Crichton superfan. So 640 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: the Tasmanian Tiger they want to try to bring back, 641 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna mix in with some DNA. I'm just saying 642 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: when they opened the Tasmanian Tiger Park, maybe wait to 643 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: see how it goes. Don't be the first ones to 644 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: go check it out.
