We'll open up phone lines in our 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: number two and our number three, perhaps maybe even a 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: little bit earlier, to talk about everything going on right now. 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: And there are a frenzy of stories out there. COVID 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: basically acknowledged now by the CDC to be over. We 19 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: will talk about that at some point. Alex Berenson has 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: caught the White House trying to get him banned from 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: Twitter over his opinions on COVID, which have all been 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: proven to be true. But we begin where we have 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: been all week long, with the latest on the Trump investigation, 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: the Trump raid, the unprecedented, I believe frankly unconstitutional in 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: many ways, persecution of Donald Trump that we are seeing 26 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: by his former opponent in the twenty twenty election, Joe 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: Biden and his Department of Justice. Now I'm gonna walk 28 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: you through everything, because I know the timeline here has 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: gotten somewhat confusing. I'm gonna walk you through everything, and 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: then I'm going to tell you why it matters to 31 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,919 Speaker 1: such a large extent and where I believe we are headed. 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: So let's start here. Yesterday, as we finished Thursday show, 33 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: we were waiting on Merrick Garland to come out and 34 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: address the media. He actually appeared forty minutes late for 35 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: his own press conference. It was only a couple of minutes. 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: There was not very much information that was provided, but 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: I found the most significant aspect of that press conference 38 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: to be for the first time Merrick Garland admitting that 39 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: he had personally directed the warrants to be filed with 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: the South Florida judge, listen to Merrick Garland make that statement. 41 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: There are, however, certain points I want you to know. First, 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: in this matter. Second, the Department does not take such 44 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: a decision lately, where possible in a standard practice to 45 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search, 46 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. Third, 47 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of 48 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: the FBI and Justice Department agents and pride. Right, Let's 49 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: go ahead and cut it off there, because we know 50 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: that he's going to continue to say nothing of any 51 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: substance there, and we continue to enforce upon upon you 52 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: and encourage don't do anything dumb. The FBI is looking 53 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: for opportunities right now to make you look like a 54 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: January sixth insurrectionist, and we've already seen some of this 55 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: potentially occurring in Cincinnati. Don't act out violently. Period. Okay, 56 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: let's start here. So Marrek Garland said he personally approved 57 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: this raid. What does that mean and why is it important? 58 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you. Let me also update you 59 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: first with this timeline. So This is significant and I 60 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: don't believe as being discussed enough. Trump and his lawyers 61 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: had been in discussions with the National Archives about a 62 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: leg to presidential documents. Four months in fact, in June, 63 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: representatives of the National Archives and the government came to 64 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Mara Lago to see what documents Donald Trump had in 65 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: his possession there. While they were there, Trump came down, 66 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: said high and said, let me do whatever I can 67 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: effectively to help you in this process. That was in June. 68 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: There had been all very easygoing conciliatory relationship between anyone 69 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: in the government and Trump over these documents. Then we 70 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: hear nothing. Four months in fact, back in June, they said, hey, 71 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: can you padlock this door more? Can you provide greater security? 72 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: They did it at Mara Lago. That was in June. 73 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Then we hear absolutely nothing according to the Trump people, 74 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: and in August, we have all of these FBI agents 75 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: on Monday Day storm the gates of Mara Lago and 76 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: spend nine hours inside of Mara Lago. They sent Trump's 77 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: attorneys outside to wait in the parking lot outdoors. They 78 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: insisted that they had complete run of the place to 79 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: examine any and everything there, including going through Milania Trump's clothes. 80 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: According to reports nine hours that they spent. This is 81 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: an unprecedented raid. Never in United States history has a 82 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: situation like this occurred. Now there is a discussion, and 83 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: maybe it's going to happen during the course of today's show, 84 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: in which case we will break it down for you 85 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: over whether some of the details surrounding this warrant are 86 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: going to be released. Well, Merritt Garland said yesterday, we're 87 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: fine with releasing some of these details. The problem is 88 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: that some of them will probably be crossed out and 89 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: censored as a part of arguing that they still impact 90 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: national security. But he said the government had no issue 91 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: with doing that. Late last night, President Trump said that 92 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: he was fine with this issue. Oh, by the way, 93 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: Merritt Garland said there would have no comments whatsoever about 94 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: this investigation into Donald Trump and the raid that he 95 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: ordered that is off the charts, unprecedented legally. Well, then 96 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: the Washington Post within a couple of hours came out 97 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: with a story saying that some of the documents there 98 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: had to do with nuclear weapons and as a result, 99 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: they had to act with alacrity. Now, what's interesting about 100 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: that is the warrant was obtained on Friday. They didn't 101 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: go in until Monday. The Washington Post has been wrong. 102 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: It cited two anonymous sources in this nuclear weapons report. 103 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: They've been wrong about everything with Trump for basically seven years. 104 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: A special when anonymous sources are involved, and so I 105 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: am incredibly skeptical of the likelihood that this story is true. Well, 106 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: early this morning, Trump fired back on truth Social and 107 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: said nuclear weapons issue is a hoax, just like Russia. 108 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Russia Russia was a hoax. Two impeachments were a hoax, 109 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: The Mueller investigation was a hoax, and much more same 110 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: sleazy people involved. Why wouldn't the FBI allow the inspection 111 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: of areas at Mara Lago with our lawyers or others present, 112 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: made them wait outside and the heat wouldn't let them 113 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: even get close. Said absolutely, not planting information. Anyone reminds 114 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: me of the Christopher Steele dossier. Okay, So that was 115 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: Trump on truth Social. That is basically the background of 116 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: where we are right now. It's possible that we will 117 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: get more information about these warrants during the course of 118 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: today's show, and of course I will update you instantaneously 119 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: if that information comes down, so you can always stay 120 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: tuned to us to get those updates. That's the background, 121 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: and it's rather complicated. But let me tell you now 122 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: where we're going and why this is so significant, And 123 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: I want to start right here. Merritt Garland said yesterday 124 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: that he personally approved the raid that happened at Donald 125 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: Trump's residence. Why is that significant? I want you to 126 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: think about this for a minute with me. In addition 127 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: to the fact that we have never seen a raid 128 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: like this on a former president, we are in Banana Republic, 129 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: third world country level investigatory behavior right now. Because Merritt 130 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: Garland is the top Justice Department official for Joe Biden, 131 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: the man who ran against Donald Trump in twenty twenty 132 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: and at least thinks that he's going to run against 133 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: him in twenty twenty four. We've ever seen this in 134 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: our nation's entire history. Do you trust the top competitor 135 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump to be investigating Donald Trump to determine 136 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: whether or not he broke the law? Look, the idea 137 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: that Merrick Garland is not recusing himself from this investigation 138 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,359 Speaker 1: and this entire process is a stain on our nation's 139 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: history and the fact that I may be the only person. 140 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: Even pointing this out to you in all of media 141 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: should have you questioning, way a minute, why in the 142 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: world are we allowing the number one top justice official 143 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden to enter to investigate his top political opponent. Look, 144 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: as lawyers, it's not only impropriety that leads to accusal, 145 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: it's the appearance of impropriety. How in the world can 146 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: anyone believe that Merritt Garland, especially given the FBI's already 147 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: history with Donald Trump and the Department of Justice's history 148 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, How can anyone believe that he can 149 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: conduct an impartial investigation of his employers because Joe Biden's 150 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: his employer of his employer's top rival for the presidency. 151 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: The fact that Merritt Garland is in any way involved, 152 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: and he said yesterday I personally approved this warrant, how 153 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: is he allowed to lead an investigation into the top 154 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: political rival of his boss. This is next level Banana 155 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: republic crazy. How in the world is no one else 156 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: other me, almost in all the media saying, Merrick Garland, 157 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: regardless of what you think, Democrat, Republican, an independent, he 158 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: can't conduct this investigation. He is too biased. His entire 159 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: job status depends on Joe Biden being president. If he 160 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: wants to remain Attorney General going into a next term. 161 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: The only way he gets that job as if Joe 162 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: Biden wins. The only way he continues to have the 163 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: power and influence and authority that he wields right now, 164 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: is if Joe Biden takes down Donald Trump. And we're 165 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: going to allow him with a clear incentive structure on 166 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: his own job predicated on Trump going down to conduct 167 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: this investigation. And that doesn't even consider potentially his own 168 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: motivations personally, which are he may well have been radicalized 169 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: by the fact that he didn't get to sit on 170 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, which was his lifelong dream, and then 171 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump won the presidency and Merritt Garland's nomination by 172 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: Barack Obama was never acted upon. Do you trust him 173 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: to be an impartial observer of justice when his number 174 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: one brass ring, the thing that he had spent his 175 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: entire career striving for, was to be on the Supreme 176 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Court and he didn't get it. So as a backup plan, 177 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: he gets to be Attorney General, and you think he's 178 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: going to be fair to Republicans and to Donald Trump 179 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: and investigations. We've never seen anything like this. That's why 180 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: the Independent Council exists. Ken Starr investigated Bill Clinton, whether 181 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: or not you agree with it, and I understand why 182 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: Trump was mad about it. Trump's Attorney General Jeffords immediately 183 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: recused himself from Russia because he said, I can't conduct 184 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: an impartial investigation. That's how we got the Mueller report. 185 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: That's how we got the Robert Mueller in investigation. This 186 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: has been commonplace for years, the idea that the Justice Department, 187 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: when it is directly involved through the presidency, in the 188 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: investigations that it is undertaking, cannot conduct an impartial investigation. 189 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: So how in the world is every Republican not beating 190 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: the drum that Merritt Garland has to recuse himself here? 191 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: How in the world is anyone with a functional brain 192 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: who has a legal background, and I'd like to put 193 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: myself in that category not also recognizing this clear and 194 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: present conflict which demands recusal from Merrick Garland, who is 195 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: a biased without precedent Already this investigation itself to raid 196 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: a former president is unheard of. But how in the 197 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: world are we letting him personally approve any decisions made 198 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: associated with this investigation. These are big questions that aren't 199 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: being asked, that isn't being discussed by anyone out there, 200 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: and you should be asking yourself why is that? Why 201 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: are Republicans like Mitch McConnell leading the Senate not coming 202 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: out and saying, hey, you know what, let's go ahead 203 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: and ask Merrick Garland at a minimum to recuse himself. 204 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: Why is this not one of the top arguments right 205 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: now in all of America? Why are you just hearing 206 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: it right now from me? It's crazy, It's banana Republic, 207 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: It's third world dictator level bs. We shouldn't be standing 208 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: for it.

Okay, Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. 234 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: You just heard me make I think a pretty compelling 235 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: argument for why Merrick Garland should have to recuse himself 236 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: from all investigations surrounding Donald Trump, given that he has 237 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: now admitted that he's personally approving the decisions that are 238 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: being made in this investigation. He's clearly biased. I want 239 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: to talk now and give you a heads up about 240 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: a story that is starting to spread. I touched on 241 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: it in the open. The Washington Post is arguing that 242 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: this was a necessary raid because there were nuclear documents 243 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: classified that were being kept inside of Mara Lago. Now, 244 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: this is a pretty significant shift from the initial story 245 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: that they told us, which was this was a National 246 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Archives level investigation and that it was predicated on the 247 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: idea that the National Archives needed to get back some 248 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: of the documents that had been under Trump's purview when 249 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: he was president, and that some of those were confidential 250 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,239 Speaker 1: and they need to be back. Well, now, suddenly maybe 251 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: I would submit it because of all the criticism they're getting. 252 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: They're saying, no, no, no, this was of the utmost importance. 253 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: We had to go get these documents dealing with nuclear 254 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: armament because of security issues and how important they were. 255 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: But if that's true, why did they wait eighteen months 256 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: after Donald Trump left the White House to suddenly need 257 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: to stage a rade. Somebody might say, well, they didn't 258 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: know that he had those documents. Well, shouldn't the government 259 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: know if there are important confidential documents that are missing 260 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: before we get eighteen months down, And shouldn't they have 261 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: found those documents when they visited and were allowed to 262 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: have access to everything in June at Mara Lago. This 263 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: does not add up. And I'm going to continue to 264 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: go after the Washington Post when we come back, because 265 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: democracy dies in darkness. It also dies when the Washington 266 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: Post is doing reporting these days. Have you ever had 267 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: sleepless nights because you just can't get comfortable? I gotta 268 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: tell you about my pillows per cow sheets.

There is such a demand 285 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: for truth insanity in an insane world that our social 286 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: accounts are skyrocketing in popularity, in particular our truth Social 287 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck account over one hundred thousand subscribers now. 288 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: Our Rumble page also on fire.

But the 291 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: growth in truth Social is really very impressive, and you 292 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: can find me there at Clay Travis, you can find 293 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: at buck Sexton there. I'm going to be posting more 294 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: and more there as the overall dynamic in terms of 295 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: number of people interacting and everything else continues to skyrocket. 296 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: So I mentioned that I was going to go after 297 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: the Washington Post here, and I do think that is 298 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 1: a big part of the story right now surrounding the 299 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: Trump Mara Lago raid that was personally approved by Merrick Garland, 300 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: who should should have to step back and recuse himself 301 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: from any investigation of Donald Trump. If there was actually 302 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: any truth and justice in our justice department right now, 303 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: that would be necessary. But what's interesting about the Washington 304 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: Post is how much they've gotten wrong. And I think 305 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: we've got a boy who cries Wolf scenario really in 306 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: play when it comes to the Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, 307 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: and certainly the New York Times. When you've gotten everything wrong, 308 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: just run through the list, and this is a good 309 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: argument that I would like for you to put in 310 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: your back pocket and use for your persuadable friends who 311 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: may be suffering from some tinge of Trump derangement syndrome. 312 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: Think about all the things that those outlets that I 313 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: just ran through have gotten wrong about Donald Trump. First 314 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: of all, Russia collusion one hundred percent a lie, all 315 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: of it made up. The years telling you it was 316 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: going to bring down Trump was all made up. Remember 317 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: the Steel Dossier, the idea of the Golden Showers, the 318 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: idea of what Trump did in Russia, and all the 319 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: compromising info that Russia had on Trump. The Steel Dossier 320 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: was one hundred percent made up. But Russia paying bounties 321 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: on US soldiers in Afghanistan. It's not appeared to be true. 322 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: Remember Trump in the wake of Charlottesville, they tried to 323 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: tell you he called neo Nazis very fine people. That's 324 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: one hundred percent of why if you go look at 325 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: the transcript. How about when they tried to get you 326 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: with the idea that Trump said you needed to drink 327 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: or inject bleach to fight COVID not true. The tear 328 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: gas getting fired outside in Lafayette Park to clear off 329 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: the protesters so Trump could walk out with a Bible 330 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: for the photo op, that's not true. They told you 331 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: that Hunter's laptop was all disinformation, and they wouldn't even 332 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: allow the New York host Twitter account to exist. That's 333 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: all been proven to actually be true. They told you 334 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: that January sixth was an insurrection and an attempt to 335 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: overthrow the government, and that they had killed many different 336 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: police officers, all untrue. Ashley Babbott was the only person 337 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: who died there. And then, of course they told you 338 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: that Trump choked a Secret Service agent and tried to 339 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: grab the steering wheel of his Secret Service vehicle. If 340 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: you had heard all of that and it had all 341 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: been proven to be untrue all about Donald Trump. The 342 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: question that I would ask you, maybe the media is 343 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: just incompetent and they just get everything wrong. But if 344 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: almost all of that had come from anonymous sources, would 345 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: you start asking whether those anonymous sources might be telling 346 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: you the truth? And let me ask you this, and 347 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: this is what I want you to put in your 348 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: back pocket, and I want you to deploy in discussions 349 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: with your friends, your family, some of whom might be reasonable. 350 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: If the media just got all those things wrong, which 351 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: they did, and I just ran through with you, how 352 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: much did they get wrong that benefited Trump? If there 353 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: wasn't major bias at play, wouldn't there occasionally be a 354 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: story in the Washington Post or the New York Times 355 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: or CNN or MSNBC that was a hundred percent wrong 356 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: but made Donald Trump sound better? That story hasn't existed 357 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: in seven years. Just think about it. There's never been 358 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: a story. Hey, there was a little kid and he 359 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: was starting to have, you know, like an asthma attack, 360 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: and Trump saw him in the crowd, and he rushed 361 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: his Secret Service agent over and they said, aimed that 362 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: little kid's life. And if Donald Trump hadn't been doing 363 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: his rally and hadn't pointed out that kid, he would 364 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: have died. And then later it comes out that that 365 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: story wasn't true at all, but it was a positive 366 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: story about Trump. There hasn't been any story at all. 367 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: Trump was out driving and his beast vehicle and he 368 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: noticed that there was a dog on the side of 369 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: the road that had had puppies and the dog was 370 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: in danger of getting hit by a car. And he 371 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: stopped his motorcade and he said, let's save those puppies 372 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: and get that dog out of danger. And then it 373 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: comes out that it's not true. Those stories have never happened. 374 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: And I would submit to you that there are all 375 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: sorts of superpod Like every time Joe Biden goes and 376 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: gets a new ice cream flavor, we hear about it. Oh, 377 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: look look at Joe Biden, man of the people. He 378 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: goes and got he got a new ice cream flap. 379 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: What flavor did you get, Joe? There's all sorts of 380 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: fluff stories out there. How in seven years of covering 381 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump with a fine tooth comb, have The New 382 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and MSNBC never falsely 383 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: reported something that was positive for Donald Trump. If they 384 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: were just incompetent and they just got things wrong all 385 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: the time, wouldn't they get something wrong in his favor? 386 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Wouldn't they be like, hey, you know, they raided Mara Lago, 387 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: and you know what they found. They found out that 388 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been pen pals with a bunch of 389 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: kids all over the country and he's been writing them daily, weekly, monthly. 390 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: And this is just the most beautiful stories that you've 391 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: ever seen. These were kids who otherwise would have never 392 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: had any hope in life, and they happened to write 393 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: Donald Trump asking him to become a penpal, and he 394 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: started doing it and then it turned out out to 395 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: be true. But it was a really positive story about Trump. 396 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: Wouldn't there be one if there wasn't bias in play, 397 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't there be one story that you could point to 398 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: that made Trump look amazing that later ended up being wrong. Instead, 399 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: every single story that we get is a negative one. 400 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: So I'm sorry if after hearing that Donald Trump was 401 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: getting prostitutes in Russia to give golden showers, don't look 402 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: it up kids all over a bed because he didn't 403 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: like Barack Obama. That I'm skeptical that he took nuclear 404 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: documents Tomorrow Lago, and they've been there for eighteen months 405 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: and the nation is in such danger because of it 406 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: that for eighteen months the government couldn't get around to 407 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: trying to recover them, and then they suddenly storm the 408 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: gates of Mara Lago and had to get them immediately. 409 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I just don't buy the Washington Post 410 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: telling me that story, because they've been the boy who 411 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: cried wolf for so long, and everything that they've gotten 412 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: wrong has all been in favor of Donald Donald Trump 413 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: being an awful person, nothing positive about Trump at all. 414 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: I just ask you to take that to your friends. So, yeah, 415 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's indisputable they've gotten a lot wrong. Have 416 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: they ever gotten anything wrong that benefited Trump? The answer 417 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: is no. And if you're incompetent on one side and 418 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: not incompetent on the other, that's called bias. And we 419 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: know Democrats love to talk about bias because everything is 420 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: systemic racism. We got systemic bias against Donald Trump. They 421 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: just pretend that it didn't happen. Rolling on here.

Appreciate all of you hanging 447 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: out with us as we roll through the Friday edition 448 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: of the program, laying out all of the issues and 449 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: challenges with Merrick Garland personally approving the raid that is 450 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: going on that occurred on Monday at Mara Lago, and 451 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: why you should, I believe, be so incredibly skeptical of 452 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: any justifications that are now being given for that raid 453 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: after the fact. Now, the hope is that we will 454 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: get some information from these warrants which may be released 455 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: because both the government and Trump have said they are 456 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: okay with That may not happen until later in the 457 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: day on Friday, after our program is already complete, although 458 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: we got the staff monitoring everything to make sure that 459 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: if those come down, we can react to them instantaneously 460 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: with all of you. A couple of other stories that 461 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: are out there that I think are significant that we 462 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: should also mention. We're following this one in New York, 463 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: Salmon Rushdie was stabbed reportedly on the stage as he 464 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: was preparing to speak. It appears that he is going 465 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: to be okay. There is someone in custody for that attack. 466 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 1: We may have more details about that attack as it 467 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: progresses throughout the course of the show. I didn't want 468 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: to mention it until we officially knew that he was okay, 469 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: and reports are that he is going to be okay. 470 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: But you will remember Salmon Rushti was the author of 471 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: a book called the Satanic Verses, among many books that 472 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: he has written, and a foughtwa was put out on him, 473 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: I believe in nineteen eighty nine, and so he has 474 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: been living under that the fought that was put on 475 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: him from Iran. This ties in with the current situation 476 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: going on in the United States, frankly, where we have 477 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: recently become aware that Iran was trying to pay to 478 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: assassinate two different American officials. I believe John Bolton and 479 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: also Mike Pompeo were those reported targets that Iran was 480 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: trying to pay three hundred thousand dollars to someone to 481 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: kill those men. And somehow we're still negotiating with Iran 482 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: over the nuclear accord there despite the fact that they 483 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: are trying to pay to kill American politicians, and maybe 484 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: we'll see whether there's any connection to that fought that 485 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: was put out on Salmon Rushdi back in nineteen eighty 486 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: nine with the attack that happened on him this morning 487 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: as he was preparing to speak in New York. Definitely 488 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: feels like and I want to make this clear, with 489 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: what happened in Cincinnati, where someone who was deranged attacked 490 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: the FBI office in Cincinnati. He was killed. I want 491 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: to make this clear to everyone out there, don't go crazy. 492 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: I just laid out the whole hour to open here 493 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: everything that I think is wrong about what the FBI 494 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice has done associated with their 495 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: investigation of Mara Lago, with why I believe Merrick Garland, 496 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: who personally approved this raid, should have to recuse himself. 497 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: All of that is very germane to the discussions that 498 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: we are having right now in our country. But do 499 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: not behave in a violent fashion. As frustrated and angry 500 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: as you might be with the FBI, they are looking 501 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: for someone or some people to scapegoat and turn into 502 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: evidence of why they have to be conducting aggressive investigations 503 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: into Trump supporters. They're already doing it over January sixth. 504 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: We're going to talk with Julie Kelly in the next 505 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: hour about the fact that they're still being people held 506 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: in solitary confinement over January sixth, and that they almost 507 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: have not been able to interact with anyone, even attorneys, 508 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: for a year and a half now, and so they 509 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: are looking constantly for people to scapegoat as Trump deplorables 510 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: who can't be trusted. They want to deploy as much 511 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: counter intel against domestic terrorists as they possibly can. Americ 512 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: Garland and Christopher Ray, the director of the FBI and 513 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: the Attorney General, they're putting out statements constantly saying that 514 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: their FBI agents are the greatest and the most fair 515 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: and they would never do anything improper. You and I 516 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: know that's not true. They investigated parents who were speaking 517 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: out against their kids, wearing masks at school boards, people 518 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: like me as domestic terrorists. And so now you want 519 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: me to believe that the FBI, which we have caught 520 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: in lies associated with the Russia collusion investigation. We caught 521 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: them lying in fis A warrants. When you want me 522 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: to believe that this process, this rate of Mara Lago 523 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: was not political in any way. When you've previously been 524 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: caught lying in an effort to go after Donald Trump, 525 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,280 Speaker 1: and when you have been investigating parents who spoke out 526 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: at school board meetings, you want me to believe that 527 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: you've got my best interest at heart. I'm sorry. The 528 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: FBI has sold its ability to be considered considered fair 529 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: and impartial. When you got Hunter Biden flying across the 530 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: country to board Air Force one and the FBI has 531 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: had his laptop for over two years, Buck, I think 532 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: Senatoia I saw it earlier hanging out on the beach, 533 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: said maybe Trump should have stored those nuclear documents on 534 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop. They would have been super safe there. 535 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: FBI hasn't been able to figure out what's going on 536 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden's laptop. They've had it for over two years. 537 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: Multiple felonies. I'm not an expert in FBI investigations, but 538 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: just based on what I have seen on Hunter Biden's laptop, 539 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: there's multiple felonies. Well, Marrett Garland comes out and says 540 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: they're going to apply the law evenly and without regard 541 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: for who was involved. And meanwhile, you got Hunter Biden 542 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: flying across the country to board Air Force and go 543 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: on family vacation down in South Carolina. I'm sorry if 544 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm raising maybe a red flag here and saying I 545 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: don't know that I trust the FBI right now to 546 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: be fairly and impartially imparting justice upon this country. We 547 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: will open up phones. I'll take some of your calls. 548 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: One eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two. 549 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: It is open line Friday, as hes been for a 550 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: very long time in these parts, and so we will 551 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: take some of your calls.
