There is a three o'clock press conference 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 2: from the Coastguard associated with the submersible that was attempting 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: to go to the to the Titanic wreckage, and they 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: have found a debris field somewhere in that search area. 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: There will be updates coming from the Coastguard at three 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: pm Eastern on that. Joe Biden, as we speak right now, 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: is having a joint news conference with the Prime Minister 20 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: of India. 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: We are rolling on that. 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: We'll see if anyone in the. 23 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: Media actually asks him questions about his son Hunter. Now, 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: there are lots of revelations coming out associated with a 25 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: whistleblower from the IRS, and I'm going to read some 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: of this to you that is now circulating. We've reached out, 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: I believe, is this correct, to the head of this 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: investigation to the congressman from Missouri to get him on 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: to potentially talk about this. I've been reading some of 30 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: his quotes, but this is from what they have uncovered. 31 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: An IRS whistleblower said that Hunter Biden once sent a 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: message demanding payment from his Chinese business associate, telling him 33 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: I'm sitting here waiting for the call with my dad, 34 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: and that the DOJ had prohibited investigators from executing a 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: search warrant on Joe Biden's guest house where Hunter was staying. 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: This is pretty blockbuster stuff. Buck listen to this. This 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: is a WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Henry Zou. 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden writes, and this is a direct quote, I 39 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: am sitting here with my father and we would like 40 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. 41 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: This was written on July, allegedly July thirtieth of twenty seventeen. 42 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: A WhatsApp message, tell the director that I would like 43 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, 44 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: and now means tonight, and z if I get a 45 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, 46 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: Zong or the chairman, I will make certain between the 47 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: man sitting next to me aka his dad and every 48 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: am sitting here waiting for the call with my father. 51 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: This is Hunter Biden And again, according to this whistleblower, 52 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: in a September third, twenty twenty meeting, the Assistant United 53 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: States Attorney told us there was more than enough probable 54 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: cause for the physical search warrant, but the question was 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: whether the juice was worth The squeeze said optics were 56 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: a decision and they would not allow that warrant to 57 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: a god buck. This is pretty blockbuster stuff. It all 58 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: makes sense, doesn't it. That's the part of this that 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: hits me right away. Think of what we are supposed 60 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: to believe right now. Think of what if if you 61 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: were sitting there at the morning, Joe Pannel, you would 62 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: have to say to the audience so they wouldn't get 63 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: mad at you. You would have to say, so what 64 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: if some Chinese businessmen, and apparently your Romanian, and we 65 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: know Ukrainian too, we're giving Hunter millions of dollars He 66 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: was setting up dummy LLC corporations. There was never any 67 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: business advice or counsel or anything exchange of any kind, 68 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: no products, no services. Hunter tried to hide this, he 69 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: got caught, and we're to believe that this wasn't an 70 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: effort to sell influence, and this wasn't effectively a form 71 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: of not just influence pedaling, but possible bribery now, because 72 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: you could say, oh, well, Hunter is selling access to 73 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: his dad while Trump is president. 74 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's really doing is selling access to Joe Biden. 75 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: So Joe Biden could then theoretically push things for these 76 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: Chinese interests. Effectively, the Bidens are owned by the Chinese. 77 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: That's what this is telling us, which does not surprise 78 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: anyone who has been following this at all, because nobody 79 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: gives seventeen million dollars to somebody for no reason. There's 80 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: always a reason, and no one thinks that crackhead mess 81 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 3: of epic proportions Hunter Biden was advising or building companies, 82 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 3: or doing anything of value other than accepting bribes on 83 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 3: behalf of the deep state, corrupt Democrat system. 84 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: That's it, Bucks, Let me hit you, holds up, let 85 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 2: me hit you with some more of these allegances. Oh 86 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: my gosh, there's more. Oh Buck. This is our friend 87 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: Sean Davis. I believe he's still at the Federalist Right. Yes, 88 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: fantastic work. Good good guy, I retweeted him earlier. But 89 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: he is sharing this. This is a direct link to 90 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: the Ways and Means Committee, and again we are going 91 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: to reach out to the chairman of the Ways and 92 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: Means we already have. We're going to get him on 93 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 2: to tell this story to you, hopefully tomorrow directly but 94 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: to the Ways and Means investigation. These irs whistleblowers. The 95 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: Department of Justice I'm reading, interfered in the investigation into 96 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's tax issues with a delay, divulge, and deny 97 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: campaign that shielded him by allowing Buck. We talked about this, 98 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 2: statutes of limitations to pass on his tax crimes. We 99 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: talked about this on this show for some time. Right, 100 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: they quote US attorney Leslie Wolfe saying there's no way 101 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: a search warrant for evidence would ever get approved because 102 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: the evidence would be found in the guesthouse of former 103 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: Vice President Biden. Investigators found out that attorneys for Hunter Biden, 104 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: this is pretty staggering, were tipped off about actions relating 105 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: to the investigation in advance. For example, I'm reading from this, 106 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: even as investigators had probable cause to search a northern 107 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: Virginia storage unit in which Hunter Biden had stored files, 108 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 2: attorneys to Biden were tipped off before that search also. 109 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: And this is the deny element here, and they need 110 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: to get US attorney David Weiss under oath to testify. 111 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: But according to this whistleblower, Weiss tried to bring charges. 112 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: And we mentioned this earlier, but I want to reemphasize this. 113 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: Tried to bring charges against Hunter Biden in DC around 114 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: March of twenty twenty two, that is last year, over 115 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: a year ago, was denied. He then Buck Thought sought 116 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: special council status from the Department of Justice, which we 117 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: have said for a long time was necessary. 118 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: He was denied. 119 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: And he also tried to bring charges in California in 120 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: the fall of twenty two, had the request denied. In 121 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: January of twenty three, as well. The fix, according to 122 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: these whistleblowers, was in on Hunter Biden. So for everybody 123 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: out there who has been following this case, and I 124 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: know a lot of you have aggressively and we've covered it, 125 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: this all adds up, right, It all makes sense as 126 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: to how this rig job happened. 127 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: Nothing that we are finding out is a surprise. We're 128 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 3: just getting the data points together to bring this to 129 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,559 Speaker 3: the conclusion that we've already been at this whole time, 130 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: which is that Hunter Biden was running a global influence, 131 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: pedaling and bribery scheme on behalf of the Biden family. 132 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: And how could that be a shock to anyone? You 133 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: might say, well, that's so reckless and it exposes himself. No, 134 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden, the crackhead who has been you know, writing 135 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: dad's coattails for the last forty years or whatever. This 136 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 3: is a guy who has thought at every turn he 137 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: would get bailed out because of his father's connections. He 138 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: is utterly reckless. That's not surprising in the least. And 139 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: when you're looking at the additional information here we're getting 140 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: on this clay, this is the definition of why you 141 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 3: need a special counsel. 142 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: What do you got believe this, Buck, and I'll confirm 143 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: it with our team. Biden just walked. They took questions. 144 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: Nobody asked about any of this in the White House 145 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 2: press briefing place. Now walking out. 146 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: The Constitution Article two, Section four, The President, vice President, 147 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: and all civil officers of the United States shall be 148 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, 149 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 3: and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Bribery. The founders were 150 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 3: very concerned about bribery because it pollutes the entire system. 151 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 3: We've got Donald Trump facing federal indictment for a document 152 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: dispute and a process crime, and now we have more 153 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 3: evidence than ever before that Joe Biden had his son 154 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: running around as the bag man. Now it's it's not 155 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 3: even just about when he was vice president or president. 156 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: He didn't register as a foreign agent. He was taking 157 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: money under the promise that there would be an influence 158 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: in American policy on behalf of these foreign entities. It 159 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: is the definition of corruption, and you're actually not I mean, 160 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 3: you're starting to get closer and closer to the point 161 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: where the Democrats if this is proven, if we can 162 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 3: just find the banking records. I don't see how they 163 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: can avoid, at least the public reckoning of this. The DOJ. 164 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit here and be naive under Biden 165 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: the DOJ. The fix is in. The whole thing's corrupt, 166 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: so I don't expect that to change. 167 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: Buck. 168 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: I get so fired you know this. I get so 169 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: fired up sometimes, am I correct? Guys, we're running tape 170 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: on this. No one asked Joe Biden anything about Ali. 171 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: No one asked anything about Hunter. These are blockbuster allegations. 172 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: I mean, to your point, Buck, even if you accept 173 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: everything that has been alleged in the Department of Justice filings, 174 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: the indictment in Miami, South Florida surrounding Donald Trump, the 175 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: entire thing boils down to these are my papers, them 176 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: saying they're not your papers, and a dispute over whether 177 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: or not that is true. And we're talking about the 178 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 2: foundational millions of dollars directly tied to Hunter and Joe 179 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: Biden and evidence from the IRS that they complete.

No, that's one question. 182 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: And it would be like asking Fetterman when he was 183 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: running for Senate, you know, whether he could spell his name. 184 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: You're not allowed to ask the important questions anymore.

Also want to tell you that there is 315 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: a press conference in about thirty minutes and Buck. There 316 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: are multiple outlets reporting that the submersible that they have 317 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: been searching for for several days. Again, the reports are 318 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: there has been a refield found and that things may 319 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: well have there basically may not have been this ninety 320 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: six hours of oxygen as they sought. These groups out 321 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: that there might have been an implosion almost which several 322 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: of our callers and many people who are familiar with 323 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: submarining have suggested that this could have happened very rapidly, 324 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 2: as opposed to a slow melting of oxygen inside of 325 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: this vehicle that effective the submersible may have imploded. 326 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 3: It seems that there's that's almost it's very high probability 327 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: that's the case right now, based on the indicators that 328 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: we can see, and that would line up with everything. 329 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: Why is it hard to find this? Why have they 330 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 3: you know there's there's And also if anything were to 331 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: go wrong and it were still intact, My understanding is 332 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: it has essentially an emergency buoyancy system, So Clay even 333 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 3: if you like went, if there was some issue with 334 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: power or something along those lines, it would just automatically 335 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 3: rise to the surface, which would make sense. Is it's 336 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: a little bit like if you're in an elevator. All 337 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: elevators have emergency breaks for obvious reasons. The cable breaks, 338 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: the emergency breaks engage. If the thing implodes, doesn't matter, 339 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: it's all over.

Obviously Biden Sior had 374 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: to either be there with him or at least know 375 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: about this, because you have degenerate crackhead loser Hunter threatening 376 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 3: Chinese businessmen who are supposed to give him millions of 377 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: dollars for no work. Why would Hunter think he has 378 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 3: that kind of leverage? 379 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah? 380 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 3: Why would Hunter believe that he'd be in a position 381 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 3: to be like, oh, I'd better get this or else. 382 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: It's not because Hunter Biden's business savvy is so exceptional. 383 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: It's because they wanted access to Joe and Joe Biden's 384 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 3: rolodex and his influence pedaling. Look, this raised the question 385 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 3: maybe Joe Biden should have registered under FARA, you know 386 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: what I mean. That's a whole other component. 387 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: And it's not even like hint to that it's explicit. 388 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 2: I will make certain that between the man sitting next 389 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 2: to me and every person he knows, it's not really even. 390 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 3: And then he says, in. 391 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: My ability to hold a grudge, all right, Hunter, your 392 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 2: ability to hold a grudge, whatever, But he's specifically saying 393 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 2: my dad and everyone he knows. This is, by the way, 394 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: July thirtieth, twenty seventeen, WhatsApp message alleged from Hunter Biden 395 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: to Henry Zou. And by the way, Miranda Devine, who 396 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: we had on earlier this week, right, but discussing this, 397 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: she's quoting from this investigation the FBI. 398 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 3: This is a quote. 399 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: The FBI verified Hunter Biden's laptop's authenticity in November of 400 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen by matching the device number against Hunter Biden's 401 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: apple iCloud ID. When the FBI took possession of the 402 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 2: device in December twenty nineteen, they notified the IRS that 403 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: it likely contained evidence of tax crimes. So remember this 404 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: is very fast in twenty nineteen that they knew this 405 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: was real according to this allegation from the IRS whistleblowers, 406 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: and then they allowed this whisper campaign to occur which 407 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: claimed that this was not, in fact Hunter Biden's actual 408 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 2: laptop and that was Russian disinformation. This allegation from the 409 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 2: IRS is saying the FBI knew that this was not 410 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: in any way a faked laptop. I mean, you can 411 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 2: tell buck anybody who's looked at the data on this laptop. 412 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 3: It's so detailed. 413 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 2: There's no way that this could actually be investigated and 414 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: not be clearly Hunter Biden's laptop, right, And you would 415 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: have to have you've seen all these photos. There's no 416 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: way to fake all of these text messages and all 417 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: of these photos, which is why they never really they 418 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: said it had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, which 419 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 2: allowed the idiots in the media to say, oh, this 420 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 2: is Russian dis info. 421 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: But what's this saying is. 422 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: The FBI and the IRS. 423 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: Both knew that this was almost immediately Hunter's real laptop 424 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 2: because they authenticated it with his Apple ID. 425 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 3: And what this means is because you said twenty nineteen, right, yep, 426 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 3: what this means is they knew this, and as Biden 427 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: became the nominee for the Democrats going into the election, 428 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: they decided to bury it. Obviously, right, because you're going 429 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 3: to have a Democrat presidential contender who is going to 430 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 3: have all these deep state elements and the FBI and 431 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 3: the irs are going to be in his corner. So 432 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 3: they didn't want to get involved in this in the election. 433 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 3: And what I'm bringing up because if Joe Biden wasn't running, 434 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 3: he wouldn't have had the special magic protection of the 435 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 3: deeps running as a Democrat, but he was, so now 436 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: it all it all makes sense, right, There's no part 437 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 3: of this that doesn't add up. The more information we have, 438 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: the more solidified, the essential narrative becomes, which is that 439 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: Joe and Hunter were running a global influence peddling scheme. 440 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: Hunter knew this was. People might say, oh, why would 441 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 3: he get his millions of dollars? Why would he do 442 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: tax evasion? Because if he reports the income, everyone's gonna 443 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 3: know about it. Yes, and they're gonna know, Hey, the 444 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 3: hold on, you're running for president. Your son's taken millions 445 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 3: of dollars from Chinese interest? What's going for what? Exactly? 446 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: I all is you know, for his advice on how 447 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: to freebase? 448 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: Possibly? 449 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy. 450 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: I also think buck this it's important to go back 451 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: in time. Obama told Biden Joe, I'm picking Hillary. So 452 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, I really think this is the way 453 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: this came off. I think Joe Biden thought, my political 454 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: career is over. Now it's cash in exactly. Now, it's 455 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: cash in time. 456 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: Hunter. 457 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 2: All the gloves are off. Let's make as much money 458 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 2: for the Biden family as we possibly can. We'll trade 459 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: on every bit of knowledge and connection that I have. 460 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: And they basically let Hunter run out there and start 461 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: trying to beat the bushes to make as much money 462 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 2: as possible. 463 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 3: Think about how lazy and greedy this scam is too. Yeah, 464 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 3: you know you're the fear. You're Obama's VP for eight years. 465 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 3: The Democrats will take good care of you. You're gonna 466 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 3: get a seven figure advance for a book that you're 467 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 3: not gonna write a word of. You're gonna get one 468 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 3: hundred hundred and fifty thousand dollars a speech that someone 469 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: else is gonna write and your buy and you're just 470 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 3: gonna mutter through it. You know, you're gonna be put 471 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 3: on the board of a few different companies and geta 472 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: He was gonna be a rich guy, but they wanted 473 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: they wanted to go all I mean's seventeen million dollars. Yeah, 474 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 3: they wanted to go all in right away, not waiting 475 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 3: for it. They wanted to cash in right away. And Hunter, 476 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: who's do I have to say to anybody? This is 477 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: a guy who's wrecked listen, has bad risk understanding. I 478 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 3: think we all get that. Hunter decided that this was 479 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 3: the way to do it. And now I think the 480 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: best thing you could say for them is maybe they 481 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 3: were kind of swindling these international businessmen, businessmen, these it's 482 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party, it's a front. Yes, the Chinese 483 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: Communist Party is paying them off. And the corruption of 484 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: the Ukrainians as well. We all know what that's about. 485 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: And sorry to interrupt, Buck, but they just broke news 486 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 2: on television. Ocean Gate has now said we believe the 487 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: Titan submersible crew is dead. So the company itself just FYI. 488 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 2: For everybody who's been following the subs it appears it's 489 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: really sad. 490 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 3: That's really sad. I mean, this is there's gonna be 491 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 3: a lot of after action assessment here about what were 492 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 3: the safety protocols. They've already seen early reporting on it. 493 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 3: We'll see how this goes, but it's it's look, it's 494 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 3: try for those families, and it's also a moment in 495 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: time where we are reminded that the adventure of spirit 496 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: that we were talking about, there are risks, and in 497 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 3: this case, these individuals pay the ultimate price trying to 498 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 3: seek something that was beyond the ordinary, and it's a 499 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 3: tough day in that sense. The Coast Guard is going 500 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: to give an update at three o'clock.

I mean, first of all, 569 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 3: sewn Clay was born, Clay was riding a horse to school. 570 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 3: Clay's been around a long time. 571 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: I've been ridding the horse now. I started at a 572 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: university station in California. They rightly fired me in forty hours. 573 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: I had a one hour a week show, was awful, 574 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: like every other show on a college station. But the 575 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: minute that light went on, that just changed my life. Now. Interestingly, 576 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was doing when I was 577 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: growing up, but I just had the radio on all 578 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: the time.

That was the answer that the owner 671 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: of the station gave me audition for two days in Atlanta. 672 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: Competed against Neil Boortz, which was the best thing that 673 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: ever happened to me, because he was great on the radio. 674 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: He's a genius and we had radio wars like we'd 675 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: never had before. Left there to go to Fox in 676 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: ninety six. When I left the Atlanta Journal Constitution, I 677 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: got a complex over this year. In addition, nineteen ninety 678 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: six a great year the Olympics came, Sean Hannity left. 679 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm beginning to think that people don't like me. 680 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad Clay and buck. 681 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: Do Sean Bucket. I talked a lot about your interview 682 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 2: with Gavin Newsom. Yeah, why do you think he did it. 683 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: Well? I think he trusted me enough when I said 684 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: I'd give him space, I'd give him an opportunity to answer, 685 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: and I've known him long enough to have that relationship 686 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: with him. I said, Look, I'm giving you my word. 687 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm a man of honor. I said, I don't. We 688 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: can get on there and just speak over each other 689 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: and nobody's going to gain anything from that, I said. 690 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: And I disagree passionately on issues, and I think it 691 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: would be good for the country to see I actually 692 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: personally like him. He's nuts politically like the guy, very personable. 693 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's said, you and Clay agree on this one. 694 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: I just want to say you and I said, I 695 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: disagree with him on so much. He's a very likable guy, 696 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: central casting politician. Remember when he walked into the Oval 697 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 1: and took that jacket and flung it around. I'm like, man, 698 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: he's he's fuck makes fun of me. Buck Why it's 699 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: all right? 700 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 3: No, because because I just know that any day now 701 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 3: I'm gonna see Clay and Gavin drinking some chardona up 702 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 3: and NAPA talking about how they're going to fix the country. 703 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 3: But you know, Sean, there's there's like a. 704 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: Bron is good why he owns a winery I before 705 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: he does. 706 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure. Look you want you know, wine with 707 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 3: Gavin and stock tips with Nancy. There's a lot of 708 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 3: good stuff to do up in California. But you know, Sean, 709 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 3: and I remember and and and I know, uh, your 710 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 3: former co host Alan, you know, passed away some years ago. 711 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 3: Rest in peace. I remember the days when there was 712 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,439 Speaker 3: more debate, Like I remember the Henny and Combs days. 713 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 3: I remember the Crossfire days. I feel like now our 714 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 3: industry has turned into basically the Libs don't ever want 715 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 3: a debate anymore. Like these people at MSNBCCNN, name and 716 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 3: network they name a podcast or a big liberal podcaster. 717 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 3: They want, I mean, are you seeing a change in 718 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 3: that like because of Gavin Newsom came on your show. 719 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 3: Do you think their people just are tired of the 720 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 3: preaching to the choir from the left thing all the time. 721 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,359 Speaker 3: Because I think debate would be great, because I think 722 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:32,959 Speaker 3: we would win. 723 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: Any time you put conservatism up against liberalism, it wins. 724 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: And I felt I wanted to be creative and come 725 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: up with the way when I was interviewing him to 726 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: make my points, but not have it be you know, 727 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: a long question or argumentative or disagree on facts. So 728 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: I came in with a pile of graphs and I said, 729 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,959 Speaker 1: all right, here are the number of people believing your state, 730 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: and here are the number of people migrating to Florida 731 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: every single week, including Buck Sexton, right, exactly, very smart, Buck, 732 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: you have more more sense than anybody. And or this 733 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: is the number almost population. This is the list of 734 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: businesses who are moving their headquarters out of your state. 735 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: You know, this is the these are the crime statistics, 736 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: and and this is the cost for medical with the 737 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,959 Speaker 1: illegal immigration. So I try to do it that way, 738 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: and I give the audience a lot of credit that 739 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: when they see that and he says, yeah, but but 740 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: but but those companies still have employees here. They're all 741 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: moving their corporate headquarters out, but to save Johnny. 742 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 3: And I, you know, I talked to Clay about this, 743 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 3: and my theory on this is with Gavin Newsom, what 744 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 3: you're seeing is whenever collectivists or you know, socialists take 745 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 3: over anything, especially if they take over something as rich 746 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 3: and bountiful in all senses as California, they say, oh, 747 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 3: it's not you know, things are great. Look at these numbers. Well, 748 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 3: he and in heerded Silicon Valley. He inherited Hollywood and 749 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 3: the entertainment industry out there. But the decisions that he makes, 750 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 3: it reminds me of Blasio in New York. Right, Deblasio 751 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 3: takes over for years. It's the city's great, there's so 752 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 3: much investment. Well, it takes time to ruin things. And 753 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 3: I feel like with Gavin Newsom, he keeps pointing to 754 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 3: things that have always been true of California. But the 755 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 3: things that are his fault he just pretends aren't happening. 756 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 3: He owned a couple of things, he owned the homelessness problem. 757 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,399 Speaker 3: I played a tape of him in two thousand and eight. Saying, 758 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 3: this is my ten year plan of you know, stop homelessness, 759 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 3: admitted he failed. The more fun part of it for 760 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 3: me was one and then I had a monitor next 761 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 3: to us, and I played the cognitive mess Joe Biden 762 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 3: that has no clue that today is Thursday. 763 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: And I said, okay, Joe Biden could not engage in 764 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: the conversation we're having. You're telling me you think he 765 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,399 Speaker 1: is cognitively strong enough to be president, and oh, yeah, 766 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: I know he is. I don't believe he believes that. 767 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: And now I give a lot of credit for loyalty. 768 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 1: I think he'd being a loyal Democrat. Okay, fair enough. However, 769 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: he knows he's not there. Now. I think the odds 770 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: and we discussed this last time, Clay, you were on 771 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: the TV show. The odds he's that Biden is not 772 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: the Democratic presidential candidate as of now are high. 773 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 3: Oh my god, Buck disagree. You're killing me. Now, you 774 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 3: Uncle Bill, Bill, O'Reilly and Clay all agree on this one. 775 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: You call O'Reilly uncle Bill. Really, I call him a 776 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: simple mandy. I'm a simple man. I'm just gonna give 777 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 1: a simple analysis. Uh well, I'll tell you. But here's 778 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: the Buck, You're gonna probably be proven right. For this reason, 779 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: the dates of filing to get on my back, you know, 780 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: they're they're fast approaching, so you you probably will be 781 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: proven right. 782 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 3: So I think Gavin's preparing. Look and Sean, I think 783 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,359 Speaker 3: this is why we're we're seeing him do your show, 784 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 3: for example, just because of the broad viewership, and then 785 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 3: also putting him in the National conversation. He knows twenty 786 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 3: twenty eight wide open. No matter who wins twenty twenty four, right, 787 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 3: doesn't matter, because they're going to get well, assuming it's 788 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 3: either Trump or Biden, you're going to get a one termer. 789 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 3: And I think that the other part of this is 790 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 3: if you did have an open Democrat primary, it's giving 791 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:18,959 Speaker 3: me a lot of Democrats who get in the mix. 792 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 3: So it's not as easy as Gavin gets the coronation 793 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 3: if it weren't going to be Biden running. But do 794 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 3: you think that we had I think it was Nicki 795 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 3: Haley on recently Sean, and she said that a vote 796 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 3: for Biden is really a vote for Kamala because in 797 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 3: her mind, there's no chance Biden's going to make it 798 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 3: through term two, so it just turns into a Kamala presidency. 799 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 3: You buy into that. 800 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: I think there's a look at him. I mean, the 801 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: guy can't stand up. What was even worse than the 802 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: fault at the Air Force Academy is that watch when 803 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: he tries to get up. Yeah, and he kind of 804 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: started getting up and went right back down again, and 805 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: then obviously people came to his rescue appropriate that they did. 806 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: I think that's probably a good observation on Nick Haley's 807 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,720 Speaker 1: part in my view, And I think there is probably 808 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: an undercurrent a battle going on between Gavin and Kamala 809 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: in that department. What I'd like to see. The one 810 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: thing that did surprise me, they've had this cold war 811 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis and Gavin Newsom. State to state. You 812 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: know which state is freer, which state has better policies, 813 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: Which state works for the people better, Which state taxes more? 814 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: Why is Florida gaining population? Why is California? Gavin Newsom 815 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: is the first governor in the history of California to 816 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 1: ever lose population, and he's losing it a mass So 817 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 1: I would love that. To me, that'll happen. 818 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 2: I saw the Wall Street Journals gave you credit for 819 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 2: it on the editorial page and said, that's a great idea. 820 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 3: Buck. Do you think it'll happen, Sean, Do you think 821 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 3: it'll happen? 822 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 1: It will? 823 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 3: I don't know when, right, I mean, Sean, I think 824 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 3: at some point it's an inevitability there'll be a Gavin 825 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 3: Newsom desantist, But I don't know if it's now or 826 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 3: if it's in prep for twenty eight. I don't know. 827 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: I think, well, let's be honest here, a guy by 828 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: the name of Donald try Trump sucks all the oxygen 829 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,399 Speaker 1: out of the room in terms of politics, and with 830 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: all these legal wranglings and probably more to come in 831 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: in Fulton County and Washington, d C. That's a lot 832 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: of oxygen. If he doesn't show up at that Fox 833 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: August debate, it's not going to be as fun. 834 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 3: And you think he will. 835 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: Do you think he'll go to the Fox August No? 836 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 1: I do not that. If you ask me today, No, 837 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be there. Uh. They're even talking 838 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: about the Florida trial and for Pierce now at that time. 839 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: But if I was advising Rohnda Santis now, I did 840 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 1: reach out to his team and they said they get 841 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: back to me. And I'm sure there's probably some internal 842 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: debate going on. If I was them, two hour debate, 843 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom California versus Florida, what is your vision for 844 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: America in the future. I don't care if Gavin's a 845 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 1: presidential candidate or not. I would do that every day 846 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: of the week. 847 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 3: Yeah.

Right. 851 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 3: It's a fair match between knew something in terms of 852 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 3: what they represent. 853 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,879 Speaker 1: The liberals will think that Gavin one, and conservatives will 854 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 1: believe that that Ron DeSantis won. To me, the facts 855 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: are on De Santas's side, and there's a lot to 856 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 1: go at Gavin with. 857 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 2: But Gavin's more, he's more likable.
