1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Welcome in appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: We are rolling through the Tuesday edition of the program

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: and there is a lot going on in the world

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: that we will dive into. Our friend Senator Rand Paul

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: of Kentucky will join us at the top of the

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: third hour of the program. He is our only guest today.

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and two two two eight a two. If

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: you want to weigh in on a variety of different

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: topics that we will soon be diving in. Two. But

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: this story I wanted to dive into got a little

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: bit of attention, but I actually think it is super fascinating.

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: We are in the middle right now of what we

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: all told you would be coming, and it is the

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Biden's mental and physical cognition. Everybody knew how bad it was,

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: and some of the stories that were not told when

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Biden was still in office are now being told. And

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: there is a new story out that I think should

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: have gotten more attention than it has so far, and

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about this with you new upcoming

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: book that is out about Biden's ongoing mental and physical

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: struggles in the In the White House Sunday New York Times,

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I read it. This is coming from a couple of

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: different reporters. The book How Trump Retook the White House

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: and Democrats Lost America says that in twenty twenty four February,

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: that there was a substantial debate inside of the White

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: House about Joe Biden doing a cognitive test, because in

27
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: February of that year, if you'll remember, they came out

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: with the Her Report, which described the President as a sympathetic,

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: well meaning elderly man with a poor memory. At that

30
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: point in time, the story he was becoming such an

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: issue that they thought about having Biden take a cognition test,

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: but they were afraid that he would not be able

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: to pass. Now, this is in February of twenty twenty four,

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: he still buck had nearly a full year as President

35
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: of the United States, and they did backchannel conversations, according

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: to the book, and the physician said, I'm not going

37
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: to lie if he fails it, basically, and so they

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: didn't believe that Biden would be able to pass the test.

39
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: This is again, this is the New York Times reporting

40
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: a book that's going to be out soon. This is

41
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: one of the things that is in the book. If true,

42
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: If this is true, This is a cover up that

43
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: I believe would be criminal, because if you have a

44
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: president of the United States and his staff which is

45
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: publicly proclaiming that he's sharp as attack and that he's

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: going to be able to run for reelection and be

47
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: president for four more years, but privately, that same staff

48
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: that's saying that publicly is afraid that if he took

49
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: a cognition test. And these cognition tests are not we're

50
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: not talking about the SAT the Act rolled into one.

51
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: It's not an ap course. It is a very basic

52
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: test that elderly people sometimes take to see whether or

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: not they have severe dementia, or whether their mental and

54
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: physical capabilities are enough for them to instance, be able

55
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: to live at home or drive a car, these kind

56
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: of things. Buck. This is staggering if this is true,

57
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: because it would mean thankfully we got through it, but

58
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: that what we were all talking about was likely true,

59
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: and that for a year the White House was trying

60
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: to cover up the entire last year of his presidency

61
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: that many of his top eight didn't even think that

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: he could pass a basic cognition test, and that's the

63
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: reason they didn't have him do it. Well, that's because

64
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: everybody knew that this guy had dementia. But the entire system,

65
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: the entire apparatus, was completely enmeshed in the line, and

66
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: they knew. Right what's going to be interesting here is

67
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: how do they get past this? And some of you,

68
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: I will say, have been pointing out, Look, we're going

69
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: to talk about the tariffs and the latest. You know,

70
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: the latest is that Trump knows what he's doing and

71
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: it's all fine. So everyone needs to calm down a bit.

72
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about the news of the day, of course,

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 1: with respect to that. But why does this story still

74
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: matter so much? It matters because it shows everybody just

75
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: how deep the rot was between the Democrat Party and

76
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: the corporate Democrat media, the old media institutions that still,

77
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: even until this last election, I think Clay had more

78
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: of a more of a claim to, oh, we're trustworthy

79
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: and neutral than they should have. People had wised up

80
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot. But now, if you believe The New York

81
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Times isn't pushing a left wing agenda, you're just not

82
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: very smart, right if you believe that the Washington Post

83
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: is objective journalism. Even Jeff Bezos doesn't believe the Washington Post.

84
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: He owns it and he doesn't think it's objective journalism

85
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: based on what we've seen in the last election cycle alone.

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: He's figured this out right. So I think Clay, what's

87
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: interesting is, you know there's this reporting about the cover

88
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: up and it comes out now, and this is going

89
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: to be one thing. This will be contentious, especially for

90
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: anybody who's trying to say, well, look at all the

91
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: good journalism we're doing now about this. All of this

92
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: was known and knowable before the election. Real journalism would

93
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: have been telling us about this before the American people

94
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: were voting, right, because it doesn't just go to Joe Biden.

95
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: It goes to the credibility of the pro Kamala media

96
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: and all of the stories around her and all the

97
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: things that were going on at that time. So you know,

98
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: you can't try to rig the game. I watched my

99
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: beloved New York Knicks last night get a huge win,

100
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: play huge win over the Boston Celtic. It came back

101
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: from twenty points down. When's the last time you watched

102
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: it full? Did you watch the whole game or just

103
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: the end of it? No, My brothers texted me and said,

104
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: stop being a communist. They're about to win. There's five

105
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: minutes left or something, Okay, And I said, okay, brothers.

106
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: My brothers are the normal ones in the family. They

107
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: were watching, so I turned it on. But you know,

108
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: imagine if it came out that that one of those

109
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: teams had tried to rig the game by paying off

110
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the refs. You're not a hero for telling us that

111
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: after the game is over and you've played a year later,

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: I think, and a year later, that's not heroic. Okay.

113
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: That's cleaning up after the parade of elephants and horses,

114
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: so to speak, has already gone by. And that's what's

115
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: going on here. It is clean up on aisle journalism,

116
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: and we're going to have this out I think with

117
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: anybody who sees it otherwise. Oh, by the way, just

118
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: one more thing, Clay, if they could have gotten a

119
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: doctor to lie, they absolutely would have gone forward with it,

120
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: because all these people have their jobs writing on whether

121
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Biden can pass this cognitive test. The doctor that's what

122
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to reference. This is, according to the New

123
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: York Times, is reporting on this book that's going to

124
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: come out. Mister Biden's longtime doctor, Kevin O'Connor told AIDS

125
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: he would not take the eighty one year old president's

126
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: political standing into consideration when treating him. Good for him? Basically, Yeah,

127
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: that guy is That guy is actually a hero in

128
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: this story when it mattered he had integrity that Biden's

129
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: have declined to comment on this story that is coming

130
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: out in this book. Can I just throw something out

131
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: there too? Sorry, you've got me fired up about this story.

132
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: Clay sent me the story. Now I'm fired up about

133
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: this story. Clay. You know who wanted the chief You know,

134
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: maybe the chief villain in this whole narrative is going

135
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: to be Jill Biden. I've been arguing that for a while,

136
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: you have because she in his book. It's going to

137
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: completely align with your Jill Biden is a chief villain.

138
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Take but I think we're going to get some of

139
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: those details. Now. Can you imagine hiding your husband's dementia

140
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: from the country in a reelection camp we're not even

141
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: talking about Can he just get to the end? Right?

142
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: That would be bad enough? Okay, just six more months, Joe,

143
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: just six more months, Clay. They were telling us she

144
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: should be president for four more years. There are two

145
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: other things in this story that are in the book

146
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: that I think is Mike Donellan, a senior advisor to

147
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Biden had worked for him since the eighties, told the

148
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Harvard Political Review in March, even when they were worried

149
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: about this cognitive test, every day, I keep seeing him

150
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: doing the job. I still think he's the best person

151
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: to be president today. David Axelrod, top advisor to President Obama,

152
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: called into question in July twenty twenty two whether by

153
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: And would be able to serve another four years. He said,

154
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: the stark realities the President's going to be closer to

155
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: the ninety than eighty at the end of the second term.

156
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: It would be a major issue. That comment, according to

157
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: the book, prompted an angry call to Axelrod from Ron Klaym,

158
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: then mister Biden's chief of staff. He said, there's no

159
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: Obama out there acts who's going to do it if

160
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't do it. That is why they covered. It's

161
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: not only Buck that they were aware and they wanted

162
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: to maintain power and everything else. It's that I think

163
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: they realized there was no one else who could do

164
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: better against Trump than Biden. So they were willing to

165
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: weekend at Bernie's two Joe Biden as long as they

166
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: could keep this lie going. And that's because there wasn't

167
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: somebody in the wings that they thought was better and

168
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: they ended up being correct because Kamala couldn't do it either.

169
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: I'll also point this out, Clay. I know you're I

170
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: know you're with me on this, but I just think

171
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: we have to keep on reminding everybody because remember the

172
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: people that went along with this line, they all still

173
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: run the Democrat Party. They're all still calling the shots

174
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: at most of you know, the non Fox networks, although actually,

175
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, congrats to uh uh Newsmax and news Nation

176
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: for all the gains they're you know, they're making a

177
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: lot of gains, and it's and they've earned it because

178
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: they've built their brands at a time when these other

179
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: brands are just going into the side of the mountain

180
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: at high speed. But Clay, if they could have held

181
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: off on the debate until the election, yeah, they would

182
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: have even still the story. That's still the story. I

183
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: want to know more about why did they decide to

184
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: do it, And I think it was the biggest blunder

185
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: in political history of Clay. They should they would have

186
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: gotten away with this, in my mind. Now, I don't

187
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: know if they would he would have beaten Trump. That's

188
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: a different question. I don't think so. Look at look

189
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: at the result in the election. But they would have

190
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: dragged him to election day. All they had to do

191
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: was say, Joe refuses to platform an election denier. You

192
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: have to say it like that because you have to

193
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: have no testosterone when you say it, Joe refuses to

194
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: platform an election denier. The American people will decide at

195
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: the ballot box. Play. They could have kept Biden in

196
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: the seat. And I'll say this, it would have if

197
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: they had done that, forget about the debate, it would

198
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: have been a better showing for them than it was

199
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: with Kamala. I think, no question in my mind. I

200
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: think that's still the great untold story. Why did they insist,

201
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: Remember it was their call. Why did they insist on

202
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: the early debate because they're lying about his mental and

203
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: physical cognition. Already, he'd already locked up the overall nomination.

204
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: There was nothing they could have done to him. If

205
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: they had just waited to do a debate until September October,

206
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: it would have destroyed his chances. I think of reelection,

207
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: because everybody would have seen it and it would have

208
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: been impossible to replace him at that point in time,

209
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: but why not? Or we said it for a while,

210
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: we thought that Biden might say, I'm not even going

211
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: to platform Trump because his ideas are too crazy. People

212
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: have seen this debate already. They know what he thinks,

213
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: they know what I think. I believe that that might

214
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: have been the better play, because then they could have

215
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: kept the lie going. I think if you and I

216
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: were running the Biden twenty twenty four campaign, talk about

217
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: a thought experiment, and we had and we had sold

218
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: our souls, and the whole point was anything because if

219
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: we believe, let's say that Trump was the end of

220
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: the Republic, which isn't that just even more insane now

221
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: that we look around her, like, I mean, the country

222
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: is healing and things are going great. Yeah, that's the

223
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: end of the republic. We could have gotten Biden to

224
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: election day. Look at all this stuff they were able

225
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: to suppress. They could I agree with you who pushed

226
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: forward the early debate, because there are only two options.

227
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: The biggest own goal self inflicted wound in modern American politics,

228
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: Or maybe somebody was like, I just can't be a

229
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: part of this anymore. I think that's less likely I do,

230
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: but it's not impossible. That would have been the House

231
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: of Cards part. You know, if this is the television

232
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: show that Netflix did back in the day, the House

233
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: of Cards version would be we're going to trot him

234
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: out there and we're going to let him go up

235
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: in flames. But it is crazy to me that they

236
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: let this guide debate in June of twenty twenty seven.

237
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: I just think it's crazy. We'll talk about this. We'll

238
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: take some of your calls AI everywhere. If your business

Speaker 1: give you a heads up so you can make sure

262
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: you tune in with Senator Ran Paul. We're gonna talk

263
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: about a whole range of things with him. Always always

264
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: like having a Senator Ram Paul on. We're gonna talk

265
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: to him about the Executive Order on the ending of

266
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: Gain of Function Research Clay which was signed yesterday, plus

267
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: the Ukraine mineral Deal, tariff, talks student loans. I mean,

268
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: we we never can get through all the things we

269
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: want to talk to Senator Paul about, but we'll try

270
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: to get through as much of the critical news of

271
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: the day with him as we can. But yeah, Trump

272
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: signing an executive order to end gain of a gain

273
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: of function research. It's still mind blowing to me in

274
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: so many ways that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is

275
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: the site of a global pandemic outbreak and we have

276
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: a funding cutout that goes through some you know, sort

277
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: of intermediary from US government funds to that Wuhan Institute

278
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: of Virology and everyone just went along with this. It's

279
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: a the globe. The world is a big place, right, yes,

280
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Like Earth. Earth has a lot of places. And for

281
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: a virus that is being studied to pop up right

282
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: near a place where I'm sorry, rather for a virus

283
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: to come out right near a place where it is

284
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: being studied, what are the odds of that just happened?

285
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: Now that we can really think with clarity about this, Clay,

286
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this would be like being hit by a

287
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: satellite that fell from the sky and landed on you

288
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: while you were sunbathing in your yard. Like it could happen,

289
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: but it's one in a billion. Yeah, I mean, it's

290
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: like claiming that you happen to run into Mickey Mouse

291
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: when you're at Disney World. You'd be like, well, that's

292
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: kind of where I would expect Mickey Mouse to be, right, Like, okay,

293
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: you believe it, like Mickey Mouse just happened. This has

294
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: always been my argument, and this is where I just

295
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: sit back and use basic logic and talk with Ram

296
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Paul about this. But it's why I think Fauci should

297
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: be facing criminal charges because all of this was directly

298
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: covered up by him, because I think he recognized early on,

299
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: uh oh, American tax dollars were used to help create COVID,

300
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: which he didn't want to take responsibility for, so he

301
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: put in place this crazy natural evolution theory and many

302
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: people just went along with it because they trusted him,

303
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: and they took advantage of a lot of reporters who

304
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: frankly probably weren't very good at science or math or

305
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: any high level biology courses. Right. I mean, I don't

306
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: regrets that I wouldn't be great at analyzing the DNA

307
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: of viral sequences either, and so they trusted Fauci to

308
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: tell the truth and he lied. And I think you

309
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: should face criminal charges for it because I think it's

310
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: the most consequential Why of most of our lives. There's

311
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: a global summit this July of bricks nations in Brazil.

312
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and

313
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: Iran are meeting with the goal of displacing the US

314
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset.

315
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: As these nations push forward, global demand for US dollars

316
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollars in

317
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: your savings. While this transition won't happen overnight, the RIO

318
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: reset marks a pivotal moment when bricks objectives move from

319
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: being theoretical toward being inevitable. Learn if diversifying your savings

320
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: into gold like I did recently is right for you.

330
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: the newly elected Prime Minister of Camp in the Oval

331
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Office right now, and there are a wide variety of

332
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: newsmaking comments that are coming out. We are adding all

333
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: of those clips in for you right now. I'll read

334
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: this quote. Trump says, quote he has a very very

335
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: big announcement to make before he departs for the Middle East.

336
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: It'll be one of the most important announcements that has

337
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: been made in many years about a certain subject. Now

338
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: that is an all time tease. I guess it could

339
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: be related to the Middle East and Israel. One of

340
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: my first thoughts, but I would think he would wait

341
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: until he gets there, is that Saudi Arabia is going

342
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: to sign on to the Abraham Accords, which would be

343
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: hugely important in terms of long range stability in the

344
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: Middle East if Saudi Arabia were willing or able to

345
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: do it. I would also think it could have something

346
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: to do with Iran and what sort of uh negotiations

347
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: or agreements could be coming there. Uh, that's kind of

348
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: what comes top of my mind, Buck, anything that you

349
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: think of. Obviously, a lot of people also wondering if

350
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: it could have to do with trade, but it seems

351
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: based on follow up questions that it doesn't have anything

352
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: to do with trade. So that's why my thought is

353
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: that maybe it would have something to do with the

354
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Middle East, since that's where he's going. Uh, but that

355
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: would be my best guess. I mean, it's trump Man,

356
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: It's it could be. It could be any number. I

357
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: think your guesses are are are x are you know,

358
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: excellent in terms of probability, But with with a Trumpster,

359
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: you just don't know. It's Uh, it could be, it

360
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: could be anything. It could be huge, it could be

361
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: a little less than huge, could be By the way,

362
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: Pete Rose is getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, Like,

363
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump has got his hands on everything that's

364
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: going on right now. Uh cc Linda from down in

365
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: Houston seven forty k t R h Land and she

366
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: wanted to weigh in what she got for us.

367
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: Clan Buck, you are totally missing the point on this

368
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: Biden dementia's story. This is not about the press and

369
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: their deceit. This is about the deceit of who was

370
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: running the country while he was in this mental state.

371
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with the president, has everything

372
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: to do with the deep state that took over while

373
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 2: he was in this situation.

374
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a smart point. I do think

375
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: the press's job ostensibly is to speak truth to power

376
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: and hold those in power accountable. So the fact that

377
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: the president had dementia and that they are supposed to

378
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: be the spokespeople in some ways for what's going on

379
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: in the White House matters. But we have talked a

380
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: ton about who was actually making decisions in the White

381
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: House for years. You can hit us on like like

382
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: you can hit us on Clay's absolute overconfidence that he

383
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: would not drown, slash be eaten by sharks swimming from

384
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: Alcatraz yesterday. You can hit him on that, you know,

385
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: Or I love the ai that shows me all warm

386
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: and cozy drinking coffee on the shore that our team

387
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: pulled together while you are swimming away from the sharks.

388
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: You cannot hit us on. We did not hammer Biden's dementia,

389
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: Obama's third term, Obama's advisors making all the decisions. I

390
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: think that I said whoever's making the decisions in this

391
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: White House as a as sort of an addendum to

392
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: anything that Biden signed or did probably a few hundred

393
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: times on this show since we started. Okay, same with Clay.

394
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: We have been so it's a fair point from our

395
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: from our dear listener. We appreciate it, but we did

396
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: not miss this story. We talked about it ad nauseum. Okay,

397
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: ad nauseum. So there are things you can hit us on.

398
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: It's like saying, Buck, you didn't hate masking enough under

399
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: the Fauci Coke. No, No, I hated it more than anyone,

400
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: longer than anyone. So to be fair, let's go again

401
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump. We do not

402
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: have yet that audio in. We'll play it for you

403
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: when we do. Thomas and san Diego, what's up?

404
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, yes to pick my call. Let me get

405
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: right to my point again in the same vein as

406
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: the last collar. I love you guys, but today you

407
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: guys are way off all right. I feel like calling

408
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: you both captain obvious. Okay, no kidding. It's like a

409
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: book came out saying the sky is blue really and

410
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: the media was biased and lied. Wow, what a revelation.

411
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: And then I got Clay, of all people sitting here

412
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: mentioning criminal charges twice I'm gonna tell you what we

413
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: need to move on to. Now we all know the obvious.

414
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: Here's the problem we have to be and I call

415
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: it Maga dash AF. And it's not the AF. You

416
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: think it's accountability force. Okay, you guys sell like the

417
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: Jim Jordan Caucus where they go on Fox and they

418
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 3: talk a great game. But the biggest question you should

419
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: be asking is now, what what are you gonna do?

420
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear criminal, this criminal that we

421
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 3: can't even get a subpoena. I know Fauci has a.

422
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Pardon, all right, Okay, so what do you want?

423
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: Subpoena him? Subpoena him, bring him in he cannot plead

424
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: the fifth because of the pardon, and ask him direct questions.

425
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: And if he lies now, the pardon doesn't cover his

426
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: current lies. We have so many levers we could use

427
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 3: with the FBI, the DOJ. I promise you, if the

428
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: shoe was on the other foot, we'd already have subpoenas

429
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: flying out of Congress. We'd have the DOJ pulling people

430
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 3: out of their house in the middle of the night. Oh,

431
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: as I recall, we've already seen that we need to

432
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: start holding this administration accountable and if you want to

433
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: put it in the media's faith, go on their shows

434
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: and every question they ask preface it with you have

435
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: no credibility. You said Biden was sharp? Now what are

436
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 3: you trying to question and catch me on? I mean,

437
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 3: what are we doing Trump sitting down with these same

438
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: media jackals and giving them the time of day? Who

439
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: cares about these books?

440
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: So I appreciate I appreciate your passion. I have a

441
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: couple of questions. One, do you feel like the Trump

442
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: administration is not moving fast enough, doing enough, or aligned

443
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: enough with the mission so far? Because it sounds to

444
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: me like when you said hold the administration accountable, it's

445
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: been one hundred days. Is the one hundred days not

446
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: good in your mind? Like, like, let's let's get into

447
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: reality here a little bit. What is your criticism of

448
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: what they've done in the three months that this has

449
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: been the administration?

450
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 3: Okay? I hate when people answer a question with a question,

451
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: But uh, do you think do you think that?

452
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: Wait? What is your question that I'm supposed to answer?

453
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: I don't run the FBI.

454
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 3: Number one? Number one, Trump is doing everything he can. Okay.

455
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: Number two?

456
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Yes.

457
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: No, okay, No, they're not doing enough. All right? Trumps?

458
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: Who all the things? He probably shut them to? Who? Now?

459
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: Okay, who do you want to do more?

460
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 3: Okay? The Republican Congress, they control everything, probably not for

461
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: long if they keep going at this pace of doing nothing.

462
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: I want to see people subpoena. I want to see it,

463
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: and I want you guys, when you talk to Rand Paul,

464
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 3: I know what he's gonna say. Saucy this, saucy that. Okay, now,

465
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 3: what what are you gonna do about it? I'm tired

466
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 3: of the talk and pointing out the obvious to us.

467
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: We all know the guy was out.

468
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: I can I ask you what do you think happens

469
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: if you subpoena? No, this is important, What do you

470
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: think happens if they do subpoena? Like, we'll get Senator

471
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: Rampaul on later and we talk to these people that

472
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: you you want to do more, so we can certainly

473
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: try to pass along some of your passion and your message.

474
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: What do you think is going to happen if they subpoena? Fauci,

475
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: you seem to think that subpoena ing is a is

476
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: a magic bullet, so to speak, Like What do you

477
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: think happens if they subpoena fauci Well, first.

478
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: Of all, ask ask Steve Bannon, okay, for starters. But

479
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Okay, is they everyone

480
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: who's been given these pardons? Again, Captain obvious, why have

481
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: they been given pardons? Okay, They've been given these these

482
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: ridiculous pardons and Congress has sat there, So tell Rampaul

483
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 3: call him in, all right, put him under oaths. He

484
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: can't plead the fifth okay, and he has to answer

485
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: direct questions, and if he lies, do exactly what they

486
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 3: did to everyone in Trump's first term who supposedly defied

487
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: subpoenas and lied. You gotta fight fire with fire. Someone

488
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: hits you with a stick, you gotta hit them back

489
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: with the whole damn tree. If we don't do that,

490
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: it's gonna be overcome the midterms, all right, because we're

491
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: gonna lose it. And then you think Trump is handcuffed.

492
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: Now he's gonna be completely out of the game.

493
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: So Trump is doing amazing work. You agree with that,

494
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: and I would assume his administration. I'm sorry, did I

495
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: miss that? What was he to run for?

496
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: He doesn't need to run for reelection, so he doesn't

497
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: care about polls or what anyone says, right.

498
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so he still likes to be like So the

499
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: administration is doing is doing great work. I just bring

500
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: this up because when you're talking about Fauci, you seem

501
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: to think that even if we got Fauci in handcuffs, right,

502
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: that that would be some dream come true. Meanwhile, having

503
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: doctor Marty McCarey and having RFK Junior, having these people

504
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: fundamentally trying to reorient these institutions and make them function

505
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: better based on what we've learned about what happened under

506
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: Biden and people like Fauci, isn't that a more important

507
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: mission even than the humiliation of Fauci, which I think

508
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: has already occurred. And knowing that he can't go He's

509
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: not going to prison for anything that he did, Clay,

510
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: it is not.

511
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Buck. They can chew gum and walk at

512
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: the same time. If you want to stop Democrats for

513
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: doing what they did, you have to do it times ten.

514
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't care about humiliation. Every one of those people

515
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: who got a pardon, they need to be brought in

516
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: and everyone involved. You can probably pick up people who

517
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: don't have the pardons based on the truths they're gonna

518
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: either have to tell or themselves are gonna lie under oath.

519
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: It's one or the other. So here's my point. If

520
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: you don't want this to go on after the midterms,

521
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: hopefully if the Dems, you know, hope, I hope they

522
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: don't win. But if they do, they're gonna keep doing

523
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: the same stuff. If you want them to. You fight

524
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: fire with fire. You don't sit here and go we're

525
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: gonna be the We're gonna take the high ground.

526
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna uh hygrind. I mean, haven't there been a

527
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: lot of government officials. We just talked yesterday to a

528
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: former FBI special agent about the FBI special agents reassigned.

529
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: There have been thousands and thousands of people fired from

530
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: the federal government, including U said. There's obviously been some

531
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: justice for the j six prisoners because of thankfully Trump's

532
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: pardon of them. I mean, again, I appreciate the passion,

533
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: and I get that there's a there's a desire for

534
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: like the bare knuckle brawling right to come out, but

535
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: I do think that this is not twenty seventeen, one

536
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: hundred days in this administration is doing the things they

537
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: said they would do. And when you say Congress, the

538
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: truth is that Congress is going to turn around and

539
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: look at you and say, we don't have sixty votes

540
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: in the Senate. We can't pass major bills. Subpoenaing people

541
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: ken and will happen, I think, depending on which committee

542
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: you're talking about. But that's just more of the conversation

543
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: that we're already having about the lies that Fauci told

544
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: about the operations of the deep state. I think fixing

545
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: these things which the executive branch is doing is a

546
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: far more potent response then looking you know, it depends.

547
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: Some days we're told stop talking about the cover up

548
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: of Biden, stop talking about the deep state. We want

549
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: you to focus on what's going on now in Trump's agenda.

550
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: Then we try to focus on Trump's agenda, we get

551
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: hold on. You're letting them get away with it, you know. So,

552
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: to be fair, I think we're trying to establish some

553
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: kind of a balance here, Clay, I agree to be fair.

554
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: To be fair, where is the Epstein files? Where's all

555
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: these things that seem to me like I to be fair?

556
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Did I or did I not tell you that there

557
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: would be nothing in the JFK files, and that the

558
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: Epstein files would not be released. Okay, I mean, I

559
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: tell you the truth. So there you go.

560
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: The ram Paul's and these people, we need to push

561
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: them because, trust me, if that again, we have to

562
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: we have to give them an incentive not to do

563
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: the same thing.

564
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: Okay, let me go and talk for a one time.

565
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Let me just say this about Rampaul. The guy got

566
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: beaten nearly to death by his neighbor over his politics.

567
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: The guy has been Yes, the guy has been dragged

568
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: through the absolute mud over being one of the bravest

569
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: and most outspoken people in the entire country over COVID.

570
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: As angry as that random caller is from San Diego

571
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 1: about doctor Fauci, ran Paul wrote an eight hundred page

572
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: book laying out in explicit detail how much Fauci has

573
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: lied about gain a fun function, you can go after people.

574
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: Those guys are fired up and angry, and they put

575
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: their lives legitimately on the line every day. I don't

576
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: think saying ran Paul is not doing enough is a

577
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: very effective line of attack. So here here's look. I mean,

578
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: there's a reason we let that caller because I think

579
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: that there is a sense out there, and we see

580
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: in your talkbacks, in your emails. You know, on the

581
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: one hand, I want us to feel good about what's

582
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: going well and what's going right. And we've just discussed this,

583
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks ago. Whenever's the terriffs

584
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: and Trump economy. What did we say on this show.

585
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: Trump knows what he's doing. He's got the right team.

586
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: It's going to work out now. Ram Paul disagrees with

587
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: the tariff approach, by the way, and we'll talk to

588
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: him about that because we want it. He's among the

589
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: most principled members of the United States Senate in my opinion,

590
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: among the highest IQ people in the United States Congress

591
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and I think that to Clay's point,

592
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: he's been a warrior on a lot of issues when

593
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: it counted. We'll hear from him on tariff. Some of

594
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: you agree, some of you will disagree, But don't for

595
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: a second think that there is anybody who wants justice

596
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: and wants there to be accountability for what was done

597
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: wrong under the Biden administration. Then the two guys that

598
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: you are listening to day in and day out on

599
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: this show, and we appreciate that you give us your time,

600
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: because we could go back and get into some of this.

601
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: There is a lot of people on the right have

602
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: taken a lot of heat from those communists for a

603
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: long time, and now finally we can set this right.

604
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: So the passion that we hear, we appreciate. But there

605
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: is an absolute focus here on following through on the mission,

606
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: on getting the information out there about what Trump and

607
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: his team are doing, and yes, trying to push Congress

608
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: where possible and intelligent to do more to help in

609
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: that mission. I think you said it well. There is

610
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: a tension right now between people who want blood and

611
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: revenge for what happened and people who want to say,

612
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: turn the page, it's time to focus on the let's

613
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: get tired of winning, and that tension I think is

614
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: out there in a significant way. The caller who just

615
