1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 2: Welcome everybody. Monday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: right now. We got a stacked news day already. Let's 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: just get to some of what we're going to hit 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: on here. Joe Biden asked to comment on the horrific 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: fire in Maui and Hawaii and has a no comment 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: comment on it. 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: A lot of people pointing to this and. 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: Saying, well, many things, but it's not a I'm not 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: a surprise thosers who think that Joe Biden has become 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: effectively a soulist puppet, or maybe he has been all along. 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: We will discuss that on a much less serious front. 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg. It looks like that cage 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: match is not going to happen right now. There was 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: a lot of back and forth on it over the weekend. 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: A smash and grab organized retail theft video out of 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: the topeg To mall in California went viral over the weekend. 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: It looked like people a mob stole tens, perhaps even 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise all at once. 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: Broad daylight doesn't care, doesn't make a difference, and I 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: will discuss this. Plus in New York City now, the 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: migrant camp, or as Iron pointing out to everybody, the 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: refugee camp is growing on Randall's Island. There are other 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: places they are thinking about building them. We have Trump 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: weighing in Clay on the judge in his case who 27 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: put down a protective order. Trump tweeted or truthed, she 28 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 2: wants me behind bars. That's in response to a protective order. 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: We shall discuss that people are realizing what a sham. 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: The special council appointment from last week looks like it 31 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: is likely to be here. 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: That's certainly analysis will do. 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: But I think Clay, we got to kick it off 34 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: today with the Fulton County District Attorney presenting to a 35 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: grand jury. 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: This is being reported all across. 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: The media, the case against Donald Trump state level charges, 38 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: which is important. We'll discuss why about the well what 39 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: CNN is calling the subversion of the twenty twenty election 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: in the state of Georgia. That case to be presented 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: to the grand jury is probably happening right now, though 42 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: I guess they may be taking lunch break or something. 43 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: But twenty people, Clay expected to be charged. We know that, 44 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: for example, in Michigan there have been state charges on 45 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: the electors' case. Sixteen people were charged there. Twenty are 46 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 2: expected to be charged, including Donald Trump in Atlanta for 47 00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: violations of Georgia state law. And we're expecting this to 48 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: come down, perhaps today while we're doing the show, perhaps. 49 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Later this week. 50 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: But Clay, here we have an instance of well prosecutorial 51 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: targeting for political reasons. 52 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: I think that's too obvious. 53 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: It's the fourth fourth indictment that Donald Trump would be 54 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: facing on criminal charges. If this comes down, count them, everybody. 55 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: For how much do you think this is going to 56 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: have an effect one way or the other on twenty 57 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: twenty four and the future of all things Donald Trump. 58 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: I think with each successive indictment, people pay less attention 59 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: to them. And what I mean by that is not 60 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: that they're becoming less significant or less serious. I just 61 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: mean that most people out there sort of have this 62 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: generalized sense that the entire mechanism of the Democrat Party 63 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: is trying to put Donald Trump in prison. And so yes, 64 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: there's a lot of focus. I'm curious if you would 65 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: agree with this huge amount of focus on New York 66 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: City because we had never seen it before, a lot 67 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: of focus on South Florida because we'd never seen federal 68 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: charges brought by the sitting president's Department of Justice. But 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: I felt even in the DC case, a bit more 70 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: muted reaction, And I feel like in general, the Atlanta 71 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: reaction is going to be even less so because it 72 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: now is just one big blob of legal related issues. 73 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: And I understand you and me and a huge percentage 74 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: of our listeners out there are following all of this 75 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: in a nuanced level and analyzing the different cases and 76 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: the timelines and everything else. Buck I think most people 77 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: are super busy, and I don't think they're sitting around 78 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: fine tuning what the difference is between the charges in 79 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: New York City and Atlanta and Washington, d C. 80 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: And So Florida. 81 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 3: They just have sort of this general sense that an 82 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: attack on Trump is underway, and I think what you 83 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: would see, and indeed the data reflects this. Every subsequent 84 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: indictment produces less of a blip of reaction because it's 85 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 3: become standardized. Once you violate the precedent and have made 86 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: that step, each successive step beyond the precedent is not 87 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: as big of a story. And frankly, that's where this 88 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: starts to get scary to me, because that's how you 89 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: normalize what is fundamentally abnormal behavior and indefensible attacks upon 90 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: your chief political opposition. Over time, you just become used 91 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: to it, and I think that's where we're going to 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: be unless there's some crazy revelation and buck So far, 93 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: even the Jack Smith allegations and charges that were brought 94 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: in DC, everybody who was paying attention, it's like, yeah, 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: I've heard about this, although already I've read about it 96 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: in the Washington Post or the New York Times, or 97 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: I've seen it discussed on CNN, MSNBC, Fox as well. 98 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: There's nothing new, and I think it gets harder to 99 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 3: shock the senses when there is nothing new. 100 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: I think that's the political reality of what we're seeing 101 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: at this moment. I think on the legal side of things, 102 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: what makes this perhaps a bit I don't know if 103 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: it's more precarious. But the added layer to all of 104 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: this is I don't believe anyone thinks the New York 105 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: charges are serious, correct now, right? I mean, that's it's 106 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: just a book keeping dispute. It's a bookkeeping, book keeping error. 107 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean it is truly. 108 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: I don't care if Donald Trump was the reincarnation of Stalin. 109 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: The New York thing is preposterous, right, Like, it's what. 110 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: However much they hate Trump, it doesn't justify what they're 111 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: doing in New York because it's completely absurd. It's it's 112 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: like trying to lock somebody up for you know, for 113 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: littering or something. 114 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: It's absurd. 115 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: Okay, And now we all know that the other two 116 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: federal indictments that have come down, those could be wiped 117 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: away by Trump if he were to win. You've raised 118 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: the possibility of Biden in some grand Washingtonian gesture to 119 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: bring the country together. If he did that, we would 120 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: have to change our assessments. I think of who Joe 121 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: Biden is as a man, so I don't think that's likely. 122 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: But I do agree that as a strategy, that would 123 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: probably be best for the country. I mean, think about 124 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: that speech he comes forward. He says, we're gonna put 125 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: we're gonna put all of our arms down legally speaking, 126 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: and we're gonna allow the people to decide. That would 127 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: be great. I think I'd give someone a hundred or 128 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: one to one hundred odds on that one one hundred 129 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: actually almost got it right, one hundred to one. 130 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: It was one hundred and one night. I always do this. 131 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: One to one hundred, is you think it's almost certain 132 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: to happen, one hundred to one, almost no chance. 133 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: Okay, one hundred to one odds, it's definitely not gonna happen. 134 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: But on the Georgia charges that are now imminent, and 135 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: I think I do remember people right again, like stop 136 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: talking about these charges is like you want them to 137 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: know they're just going to happen, right. I mean we've 138 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: said this now three different times, and each time the 139 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: charges came down. The charges are coming down in Atlanta. Everybody, 140 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. So it's just a question of when 141 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: and what they are. Because we're looking at state charges 142 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: in Georgia and the kind of charges aren't the same, 143 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: you know, glorified parking ticket stuff you see in New 144 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: York City. It adds another dimension to this. It also 145 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: brings in a whole lot of people. We could see 146 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: names that folks listening to this know who are. 147 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: In that indictment as well. 148 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: I don't want to get ahead of myself with that, 149 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: but I could think of a few who, based on 150 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: the reporting so far, are likely to be included in this. 151 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: And Clay, they're saying there could be racketeering charges brought 152 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: that you know, that's what they use for, like mob 153 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: bosses and drug rings and things like that. 154 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: But that may be a part of this. 155 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: They're also really honing in. I went and I read 156 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: all the enemy's plans this morning. I read the New 157 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: York Times in detail, right, I mean, you know you 158 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: did this too. We saw if they bring charges having 159 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: to do with accessing the voting system itself. You're seeing 160 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: people say that prosecutors have texts and emails directly connecting 161 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: members of Trump's legal team to a January twenty twenty 162 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 2: one voting system breach. Trump's people. We don't have to 163 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: get into all the details right now, but some people 164 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: acting on behalf of Trump went to a trying to. 165 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: Remember what the name of the area was, went to 166 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: was it Cook County? 167 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: A county election office, a rural county election office, and 168 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: got access to the software and copied the software, et cetera. 169 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 2: The only reason I think this is interesting, Clay, there 170 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 2: are a lot of statutes about computers. I know about 171 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: this from the CIA and specifically government computers. That can 172 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: be very broad and very severe based on the actual statute, 173 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 2: like official misuse of a computer or exceeding authorized use 174 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: of a computer. Maybe they're going to throw something like 175 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: that in here, again an abuse of the law, but 176 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: the statutory language may allow them to try to run 177 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: something like that. 178 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the defense would be we were 179 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: trying to see whether or not these machines were hacked 180 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: or not. I think that will be the clear defense 181 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: that will be offered by the Trump people. Here's one 182 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: other angle to think about, Buck. You got charges in 183 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: New York City, Democrat, blue city, Democrat, blue state. You 184 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: got charges in Washington, DC, as we've said, other than 185 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 3: San Francisco, pretty much the bluest place in the entire country. 186 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: You've got charges in Florida, which I don't think even 187 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: Democrats would say is a state that is in play 188 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: really anymore. It's now become a red state. Why do 189 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 3: I bring that up? Georgia and Atlanta. You talk about 190 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: the political and the legal ramifications. If Trump is going 191 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: to be re elected president of the United States and 192 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: win in twenty twenty four, if he were the nominee, 193 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: there is no pathway virtually by which he can win 194 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: without winning Georgia. How much of an influence does this 195 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 3: charge directly politically put in play? What's going to happen 196 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: in the state of Georgia Because Georgia was decided I 197 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: believe buck by eleven thousand votes, huge turnout in Fulton 198 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: County and the Ring counties around the Atlanta area. Really, 199 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 3: if you point to Georgia and how Trump lost its 200 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 3: suburban moms, Cobb County, Gwinet County, all of these areas 201 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: surrounding Atlanta that have massive populations highly educated, college educated 202 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: moms in particular, how does this play locally in terms 203 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: of putting that place that state in play? Because again 204 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: I don't Florida is certainly not New York or DC 205 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 3: the other three locations where there are charges in cases 206 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 3: pending has any sort of political uncertainty as to how 207 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: those regions are going to vote. 208 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: I think that part of what we need to face 209 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: up to what everyone who is hoping for a just 210 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: outcome here and the best outcome for the country, which 211 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: would be Donald Trump, beats all this and then you 212 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 2: have Trump or another Republican, But Trump or another Republican 213 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: who wins and defeats Joe Biden. Right, that's what we 214 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 2: want to get there. I think we have to recognize 215 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: their strategy is something that will influence politics and has 216 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: nothing but upside. 217 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: For them in their minds. 218 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: They're going to bring all these there's the processes, the 219 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: punishment component of it. Trump going to be going in 220 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: and out of courthouses or dealing with his lawyers and 221 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: millions and millions of dollars in legal fees. 222 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: They're going to be able to. 223 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 2: Run endless ads about all these indictments, which they will do, 224 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: Trump the criminal, Trump the the trader or whatever. And 225 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: on top of all that, if they get a conviction, 226 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: they get a conviction, right, even if it is vacated, 227 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: even if the Supreme Court comes down. 228 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: And I thought it was so important who we talked to, 229 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: was it last week? 230 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 4: Was it? 231 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: I can't get Julie Kelly analysis and any McCarthy analysis 232 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: runs together in my head. But what happened with Jack 233 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: Smith and Bob McDonald, which I've been talking about for months, 234 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 2: I'm like this Bob McDonald fan out there in the stands, 235 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: yelling about what happened to him. Even if they get 236 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: a nine oh Supreme Court slapdown, Clay. I think they 237 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: view to your point about Georgia, how this plays in Georgia, 238 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: how this plays in Michigan. They don't care how it 239 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: plays at a lot of other places. They just view 240 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: this as a benefit to them politically, no matter what 241 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: the final outcome. 242 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: Is, And there's no way they get a nine to 243 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: zero in the Supreme Court. They're gonna get a six 244 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 3: to three. And the six ' three is going to 245 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: be used as evidence of why the Supreme Court needs 246 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: to be expanded, because they're going to say Trump rig 247 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: the system, because the three Trump appointees Gorsuch, Amy, Cony, Barrett, 248 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 3: and Brett Kavanaugh are all going to be in the majority, 249 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: and they're going to say this is why there's no 250 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 3: fair justice in America. Just think about how they're going 251 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: to twist that. But it would take a substantial period 252 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: of time until those Jack Smith charges in Washington, d C. 253 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: In particular. Now we've talked about this and we go 254 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: to break, maybe we'll come back. I do think it's 255 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 3: worth contemplating the peril of these charges to Trump and 256 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: reassessing them for our audience as we look forward It's 257 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: almost like a power ranking of where is the threat 258 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 3: to Trump legally and politically. As we get set for 259 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: these charges to be filed in Atlanta, we'll get. 260 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: Into that and some more. Tell us what you think 261 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: about how this is going to play out. Give us 262 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: a call eight hundred and two eighty two two eight 263 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: A two. If your cell phone service is still with 264 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: a teen Verizon or Tea Mobile, it's time to consider 265 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: switching to Puretalk. Just last month, they did something you 266 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: don't see a lot of companies doing these days. They 267 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: upgraded their service for every single pure Talk user without 268 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: increasing their low monthly cost. They added fifty percent more 269 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: data to all their plans for existing and new customers, 270 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: without charging anyone for it. Puretalk just added data to 271 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: every plan and is including a mobile hotspot with each one, 272 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: with no price increase whatsoever. It's still just twenty dollars 273 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: a month for unlimited talk text and now fifty percent 274 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: more five G data plus mobile hotspot. Yes, just twenty 275 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: dollars a month. Puretalk is veteran owned and only hires 276 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: the best customer service team members all here in the US. 277 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: Dial pound two fifty, say Clay and Buck and make 278 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: the switch to Puretalk.

I 295 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: can't over a decade ago when I was working for 296 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: The Blaze and it. 297 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: Was Salt Lake City. 298 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: Was the first time I had experienced something where I 299 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: was walking around and it was like I just had 300 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: friends everywhere. They're like, yeah, Buck, how's everything going? All 301 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: over the place all over the place. I love that place.

But I do think maybe when we come 306 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 2: back here, as we move through the show, just kind 307 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: of giving everybody a lay of the land legally and 308 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 2: analyzing it in the context of, okay, politically and from 309 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 2: a legal perspective, where is the peril, where is the danger? 310 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: And how is this all going to play out? 311 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 3: Because I know we keep saying it, but we're truly 312 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 3: running into a situation without peril. And I'm going to 313 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: be with Trump in Nashville on Thursday, which may be 314 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 3: around the time that this impeachment impeachment that this latest 315 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 3: indictment comes down in the Atlanta area, but he's going 316 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 3: to be in my home city of Nashville, and I'm 317 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: going to be hanging out with him. I'm actually curious 318 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: to hear from him where he thinks this situation is 319 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 3: all going in and frankly talk to him some about 320 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: the legal representation that he's got rolling and where we're 321 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: going from here.

Let's now that we can step 344 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: back and see what's really going on here. At first 345 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 2: it was whoa hold on a second. The only way 346 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: that that could make any sense as a peril for 347 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: the Bidens is that the Democrats were making this decision. 348 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 2: We discussed this, how would the Democrat coup happen? 349 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: Something like this? 350 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: But the more you look at it, and we did 351 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: this on we evolved into this on Friday because wait 352 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 2: a second. Weiss was the US attorney who tried to 353 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: let Hunter get off with not even a sweetheart deal. 354 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it was preposterous. It was effectively a grant 355 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: of immunity from on high as in the White House. 356 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 2: And here we are seeing the full implications of this, 357 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 2: which now it looks like the Special Council will allow 358 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: them to maybe run out the statute on all serious 359 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 2: crimes against Hunter if there isn't a massive felony indict indictment, 360 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: a massive multiple felony count indictment that comes from Weiss. 361 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: The newly appointed Special Council. What they've managed to do 362 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: after corrupting so much of the DOJ already after using 363 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 2: FBI and FIZA to go after Trump in twenty sixteen, 364 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: You'll notice everywhere the Democrats try to leverage power, they 365 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: just corrupt and undermine and corrode the institutions that they 366 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: pretend to care so much about. They will have used 367 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 2: a special council not as a weapon as they did 368 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: with Muller. Right, the special council that was Muller was 369 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: a weapon again Trump. This special Council on Hunter Biden 370 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: may be a smoke screen. It may effectively be a 371 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 2: protection mechanism for a Hunter, one that will allow them 372 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 2: to just keep it quiet, run the clock as deep 373 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: and late as they want, and then see what the 374 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: political consequences are when Joe Biden decides to fully pardon Hunter, 375 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 2: win or lose. Remember he can pardon Hunter, win or 376 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: lose after twenty twenty four. 377 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: So you can. 378 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 2: See, Clay that the. 379 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: The talking points on all this very interesting. 380 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 2: They have effectively stopped trying to defend Hunter as as 381 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: innocent as it can be. Right, that's no longer because 382 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: there are some independence there are some people who are 383 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: not completely hive mind brainwash Democrats who are saying, come on, guys, 384 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 2: we all know Hunters as guilty as can be for 385 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: a whole range of things. So now what they're saying is, well, 386 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: look at how much how much independence this DOJ has 387 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: clip too. 388 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 4: What we now know is that David Weiss, the Trump 389 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 4: appointed US attorney in Delaware, was right all along that 390 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 4: he did have ultimate authority and when he requested special 391 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 4: council status because the plea agreement has broken down and 392 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 4: he may have to charge Hunter Biden in outside of 393 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: his own district, which he requires additional authority to do, 394 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 4: he got it. And this is just another reflection of 395 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 4: the true independence of this Department of Justice. A Trump 396 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 4: appointed US attorney is investigating the president's son. 397 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: That is pretty remarkable. 398 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 4: And you don't hear from the other side a respect 399 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 4: for the fact that Joe Biden has stayed out of 400 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 4: this investigation. 401 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: I mean, Cleike, this is if it does not fit, 402 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: you must have quit level brazenness from Goldman here. 403 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: This is quite something. I was laughing as I listened 404 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 3: to him. I mean, I respect the zealousness and absence 405 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 3: of shame, also the absence of a gag reflex in 406 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: terms of defending Joe Biden in this respect. But I 407 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: will say, Buck, this is why I think the Special 408 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: Council is significant, because I think the Special Counsel, while 409 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 3: you may be right the rig job may still be 410 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: in effect, they still may be trying to protect Hunter. 411 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 3: The story's not going away. And over the weekend, the 412 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: Washington Post woke up from its multi year Hunter Biden's 413 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 3: slumber and wrote this on the editorial page, the headline 414 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden shouldn't get special treatment. This is the Washington 415 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: Post editorial, and there were a couple of lines in 416 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: here that I thought we were interesting. Listen to this paragraph. 417 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: Such assurances might not have been necessary at the beginning. 418 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 3: This is talking about the Special Council, but they became 419 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: important after a plea agreement between mister Weiss and mister 420 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 3: Biden's attorneys fell apart under judicial scrutiny. Initially appearing reasonable, 421 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: the deal turned out to include peculiar details, suggesting critics 422 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: might have been justified to suspect that mister Biden was 423 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 3: being given special treatment. For example, the plea deal would 424 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 3: have required the presiding judge to decide whether Biden was 425 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: complying with the terms. And it then went on and said, 426 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 3: asking a member of the judiciary to help enforce this 427 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 3: is unprecedented and also strangely, mister Biden's attorneys and prosecutors 428 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: appeared to have differing views. Again, this has gotten so bad. 429 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: This has gotten so bad that the Washington Post and 430 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 3: the New York Times are suddenly having to cover it. 431 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 3: And that's why I think ultimately the appointment of a 432 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 3: special counsel, even if the rig job in the protective 433 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 3: bubble that surrounds Hunter Biden is going to remain in effect, 434 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 3: This takes away the argument, oh, this is a right 435 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 3: wing fever dream. There's nothing here at all. Even the 436 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 3: Washington Post is now writing editorials saying something looks wacky here, 437 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 3: something looks wonky, and maybe, just possibly, this is going 438 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 3: to require them to actually do some journalism buck because 439 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 3: if they don't, it embarrasses them, because once the Special 440 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 3: Council is appointed, it at least gives a sign that 441 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 3: there's something there. 442 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: But I see, this is what I know, and I 443 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: went back and forth, you know, like David Marcus, who 444 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 2: writes for Daily Mail, We're going back and forth on 445 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,239 Speaker 2: this on Twitter a little bit. You know, people that 446 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: I like in our business, they keep saying, Aha, now 447 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: we know, well yeah, I mean, sure it's confirmed, but 448 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 2: the Special Council is supposed to Now the problem is 449 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: they always break the rules when it fail their side, right, 450 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: so they leak, But a special Council isn't actually supposed 451 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: to leak. 452 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: So what's going to happen here? 453 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 2: There won't suddenly, Clay, there won't be leaks right suddenly. 454 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 2: This Special Council is going to be very tight lipped 455 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: about everything, and so the media is not going to 456 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: have anything to run with in terms of the stories. 457 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: And the Democrats will use oh there's a special Look 458 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: what Goldman just said. This just shows the independence of 459 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: the DOJ. Right, they have the built in talking points 460 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: I think to largely ignore this. And remember we're in 461 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: a ninety ten or even a ninety five to five 462 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: journalism environment, so I think that they will just not 463 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: talk about it very much. I mean you'll see it 464 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: on Fox News. You'll see people like me, you know, 465 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: sitting around and you sitting around saying what what? 466 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: What gives? 467 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 2: What's going on here? But we can't pressure CNN to 468 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: do things that doesn't want to do. 469 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think yes, Look, in an ideal world there 470 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 3: would be something like, maybe, why wouldn't be the independent counsel? 471 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 3: But if perfect is the enemy of good, and it 472 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 3: often is, where I'm looking at it, and this is 473 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 3: maybe because I'm an optimist and I'm looking at it 474 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 3: from the glass half filled perspective. Buck, we came within 475 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: a sentilla of this judge signing off in the Hunter 476 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 3: Biden story vanishing. I mean, if that judge had said, hey, 477 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 3: you know what, I agree, I'm going to sign off 478 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 3: on this, this thing's put to bed. There's no argument 479 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 3: surrounding it almost at all. Now that the at least 480 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 3: the special counsel in the rejection of the plea agreement 481 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 3: has kept this story out there where something approaching justice 482 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 3: is still possible. Even if there's a small percentage chance 483 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 3: of it, it's better than the zero we would have 484 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 3: gotten two weeks ago if she had signed off on this. Well, 485 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 3: if Hunter had taken that plea deal, it would have 486 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 3: been for granted misdemeanor, but criminal conduct, right, so that 487 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 3: would have been a matter of public record that he 488 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 3: admits to doing things. Now, Democrats would say one takes 489 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: plea deals even if they don't, even if they didn't 490 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 3: really do it. Because the federal system. That's a separate conversation, 491 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 3: but that's a part of this. But Clay, if at 492 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: the end of the day, the Special Counsel runs out 493 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: the clock and doesn't bring felony charges against Hunter, the 494 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 3: outcome's pretty much the same. Right, Hunter gets protected, He's 495 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 3: gonna get this wiped away by I mean, I don't 496 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 3: think you or I have any difference of opinion on 497 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: if this thing keeps going Joe Biden and Hunter gets 498 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 3: let's say indicted, or even doesn't get indicted. At some 499 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 3: point he's going to pardon his son before he leaves office. Right, 500 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 3: That's that's a guarantee, right, I mean, there's no way 501 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 3: he's going to just let this hang out there. So 502 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 3: if they delay long enough, the outcome that they would 503 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 3: have gotten with the judge for Hunter is the same. 504 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 3: And politically, I don't know, it's kind of a wash, 505 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: you know, I don't I'm not sure again, I don't know. 506 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 3: We don't know because the Special Council hasn't done what 507 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 3: it's going to do yet. But imagine Clay, that they 508 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 3: don't do anything. 509 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: Imagine that they do. 510 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is where Buck I would say, Okay, so 511 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: what should happen now? I think every focus for the 512 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: Republican Party needs to shift to there has to be 513 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: an indictment file, because once an indictment is filed, the 514 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: statute of limitations no longer has the opportunity to run out. 515 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: So he's done a five year investigation. There should be 516 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: nothing more that he needs to do. There should be 517 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 3: an indictment almost immediately filed, which at a minimum would 518 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 3: allow this worry about the statute of limitations expiring to 519 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: run out. Right, So that is to me, okay, so 520 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 3: what should happen now? We need an actual indictment file. 521 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 3: And that's where I would say everybody out there, he's 522 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 3: done a five year investigation. He has the authority to 523 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 3: bring charges in any jurisdiction that he needs to bring charges. 524 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 3: In the challenge that you're pointing to Buck, is this one. 525 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 3: Do you think any jury in a left wing jurisdiction 526 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: is going to convict Hunter Biden of anything that's tough? 527 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: Not in less? 528 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: So you're not and Hunter likely knows that, and his 529 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: lawyers likely know that, so they will be able to 530 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: claim some form of vindication in the event that were 531 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 3: to happen. But the indictment must be filed. That's my 532 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 3: focus right now. That's where I think ninety nine point 533 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 3: nine percent of the focus should be. Bring the indictment. 534 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 3: It's in a football game. 535 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: There are multiple referees, right It's like Weiss was the 536 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 2: sideline referee who was clearly on the take for one team, 537 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: and they came in they said, Okay, okay, that's really bad. 538 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: We can't have a sideline ref who's cheating for one side. 539 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 2: Let's make him the head referee. That's what they've done. 540 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 2: He's now the head ref So I don't know why 541 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 2: it gets really any better, although maybe to your point 542 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: about the pressure and the indictments and everything else, maybe 543 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: now he can't hide the same way. But it really 544 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 2: all depends on how he conducts this special council, and 545 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: I just assume it's going to be, Oh, we have 546 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: to go back to basics here, and it's going to 547 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: take time and we have to So now we have 548 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: a whole new I don't know. 549 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why a Republican should be putting the time 550 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: frame crunch on him, because there is no reason why 551 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 3: there should have to be any additional investigation done unless 552 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: they decided to bring in Joe. 553 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: Well, what pressure do they have on him? Well, like, 554 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 2: what are they going to do? You know what I mean, 555 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: what are they gonna say? 556 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna come? 557 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: I mean I think Republicans should threaten to bring him. 558 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 3: I mean, look, if he allowed another statute of limitations 559 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 3: to run out, I think they should impeach him and 560 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 3: remove him from office. 561 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: Clay is not ready to believe that the entire system 562 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 2: is completely rotten to the court. 563 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yes, that's true. 564 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: But I because I, at least so far, Judge Norriyeika 565 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 3: in Delaware did what she should have done. 566 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: She is your data point of faith in the system 567 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: to this point. That's fair. I don't know how many 568 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: others there are right now. That's all awesome. I think 569 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: that's that's fair to ask too. 570 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 3: But at least she put us in this situation where 571 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 3: there's at least the hope that Hunter Biden could would 572 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 3: be held accountable in some way. 573 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: What do you guys think? How's this going to go down? 574 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: What does it mean? 575 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two eighty two to two eight eight two. 576 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: Also we'll talk about coming up here this video.

But I think 611 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 3: even many were stunned. First of all, I don't know 612 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 3: how many people we have listening to the show on 613 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 3: a daily basis in Hawaii, but certainly the tragedy that 614 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 3: has occurred in Hawaii is at the top and uppermost 615 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 3: thoughts of so many different people across the nation. And 616 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: our friend Will Kine is out there right now with 617 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 3: Fox News. He has spent a substantial period of time 618 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 3: in that area of Hawaii, where I believe the death 619 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 3: toll is now over ninety people that were caught in 620 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 3: a wildfire, one of the most destructive wildfires in any 621 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 3: of our lives. In fact, I think the most destructive 622 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 3: wildfire in any of our lives. I mean the death 623 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 3: count from it, yes going to be over one hundred 624 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 3: very soon. And so you would think that the President 625 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: of the United States could manage to stop his beach 626 00:34:54,280 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 3: vacation and address the fact that there was a awful tragedy. 627 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 3: And it wasn't as if he was getting grilled Joe 628 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: Biden on the clear corruption in his family or the 629 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 3: special counsel, which are things that certainly the President of 630 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 3: the United States should be called on to react to. 631 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 3: But they just called out to him as he was 632 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 3: getting in his car, asking him about Hawaii, and Joe 633 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 3: Biden no commented, I mean, and you want to talk Buck, 634 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: And we've talked about this a great deal on the show. 635 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 3: This idea that Joe Biden is this grandfatherly of vuncular 636 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 3: America's uncle, a very emotionally connective leader is probably the 637 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 3: ultimate lie of Joe Biden, because how difficult is it 638 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 3: to step to the cameras and comment on a tragedy 639 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 3: to no comment the situation in Hawaii is even for 640 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 3: Biden difficult to imagine. 641 00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 2: It's indicative, though, I think, at some level of a 642 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: presidency that he doesn't really feel the need to even 643 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 2: have to put in the effort at this point to 644 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 2: really do anything. 645 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: It's on autopilot for him. He's on autopilot. He knows that. 646 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: And Joe Biden's never really cared about anybody but Joe Biden. 647 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 2: Maybe his own family. 648 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: That's it. It's not surprising. 649 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, And when we come back, we'll talk about the 650 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 3: Biden mess. We mentioned this Nordstrom smash and dash. We've 651 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 3: also got the whole thing with RFK Junior. We talk 652 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 3: about Democrats trying to attack everyone, including other Democrats, and 653 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 3: will analyze the legal danger and peril both politically and 654 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 3: solely from a legal perspective that's out there for Trump 655 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 3: as you consider Atlanta, New York City, Washington, d C. 656 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: And Florida. As we are on the. 657 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 3: Latest version of indictment, watch all that coming your direction. 658 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: No gain by the way, eight hundred and two eight 659 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 3: two two eight eight two.
