1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 2: Welcome everybody. 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: It is the Tuesday edition of Clay and Buck, and 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: the fourth indictment came down. Let's just jump into it 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: right away. Clay is in transit to one of his 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: book tour stops today. He will join us for a 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: segment here in just a little bit the bottom of 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: this hour to weigh in on this indictment. We've also 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: got Andy McCarthy in the mix on just what we 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: can take so far from the massive and I might 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: say massive, I just mean in terms of how long 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: it is, how many counts there are, it is, the 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: count of countless counts. It just keeps going on and 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: on and on. You have a large number of individuals 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: in the indictment, most notably Donald Trump, but also and 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: I had a feeling this was the case, and we 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: did our show yesterday before this indictment it was formally 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: formally published. Remember it was pre published apparently before the 20 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: grand jury given voter on. 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: That's kind of a weird thing, isn't it. Usually you wait. 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: Until afterwards, right, But it's almost like the whole grand 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: jury thing was just a formality anyway, and they knew 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: that based on what the system was expected to do, 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: that it would act in this way, that would operate 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: in this way. So we sure enough the charges that 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: came down that were initially published turned out to be 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: the charges that have now been put forward against Donald Trump. 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: The allegations are now official in this indictment. And I 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: said there'd be other people that had touched as well. 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: Or it's going after as well. 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Jeff Clark, Mike Roman. 33 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of people who have been indicted 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: in this. There's a lot of folks who all are 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: caught up in this. Donald Trump and eighteen other individuals 36 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: came down late last night the top count, and we're 37 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: gonna today. 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: We're gonna spend a lot of time on this. 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: There's some other stories I want to get to as well, 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: but there's a lot that's here. The top count is 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: racketeering or a rico charge, so that I also thought 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: was going to be a part of this, and that 43 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: is the umbrella charge, if you will. That's to get 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: at this as a multifacited conspiracy. There are so many 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: steps that the prosecution here. Fanny Willis lays out that 46 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: it's ninety eight pages. The indictment is ninety eight pages long. 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: I read it this morning, and I don't want to 48 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: get into all of it. It's a lot of it's a 49 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: lot of forgery charges. Trying to hear. I'll give you 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: a I'll give you a few. 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: Here we go. 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: False statements and writings they repeat that men many times. 53 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, false statements 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: and writings impersonating a public officer. Conspiracy to commit in 55 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: person to public officer. Oh boy, a lot of that. 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Conspiracy to commit forgery. So every charge also has more 57 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: or less a conspiracy charge attached to it as well. 58 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: So if there was a forgery that they claim was committed, 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: it's also conspiracy to commit the forgery. False statements and writings, 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: false statements and writings, YadA, YadA, et cetera, et cetera, 61 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: et cetera. It just goes on and on and on. 62 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: Violation of the Georgia Rico Racketeer, Influence and Corrupt Organization 63 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Act is the top count. Here is the Trump indictment. 64 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: The person pushing this Fanny Willis here, she is announcing it. 65 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: I want you to hear this, and we're going to 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: break more of this down. I have I think a 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: pretty important not just argument, but point of necessary context 68 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: for all this we're about to dive into. 69 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: But you should hear. 70 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: Here's the prosecutor, as we said in Atlanta, Indictment number four, 71 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: play number one. 72 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: Every individual charge in the indictment is charged with one 73 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act 74 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 4: through participation in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia 75 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 4: and elsewhere to accomplish the illegal. 76 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: Goal of allowing Donald J. 77 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: Trump to seize the presidential term of office beginning on 78 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: January twentieth, twenty one. Specifically, the participants in association took 79 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 4: various actions in Georgia and elsewhere to block the county 80 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 4: of the votes of the presidential electors who were certified 81 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: as the winners of Georgia's twenty twenty general election. 82 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: All right, now, First off, the fourth indictment here, just 83 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: the fact that it's the fourth one tells you a 84 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: lot about what's going on. You've heard many people say, 85 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: including Clay and me, about the weaponization of the DOJ 86 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: for politics. That is now clear. We now live in 87 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: a country where if you run for higher office and 88 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats decide that you're too much of a threat, 89 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: they will use the criminal justice system. They will abuse 90 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system to take you off the chessboard. 91 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: They don't want to have to beat you at the 92 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: ballot box. They would prefer as we see the usage 93 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: of the law as a weapon of politics, this is 94 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: one of the most dangerous things for a country that 95 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: has elections. This is one of the things that can 96 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: most rapidly create a dissent into full blown tyranny. Honestly, 97 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I know that sounds like a lot. I know, but 98 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: look at all the totalitarian impulses of the Democrats as 99 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: a matter of policy and certainly as a matter of 100 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: criminal justice. They have no compunction about this. There's no 101 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: part of them that feels like maybe we're doing something 102 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: here that has really long term and disastrous ramifications for 103 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: the country. You know, are there arguments that Trump's team 104 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: made that I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but I 105 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: certainly would have never made. 106 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 5: Yeah. 107 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely, is it illegal? Is it criminal? No? 108 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: No, they're criminalizing legal procedure and legal advice, as much 109 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: as they may think it's a bizarre legal theory. And 110 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: more to the point, this should be treated as a 111 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: political question. Do the American people, given all all the facts, 112 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: given all that we know, and that includes Russia collusion, 113 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: and that includes all the underhanded efforts to undo the 114 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election that always gets left out of these 115 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: conversations with Democrats about January sixth, about Russia collusion, the 116 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Special Council, two impeachments. The first one we know is 117 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: an utter farce. The first one was actually just a 118 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: straight up lie. Had to do with the It was 119 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: a perfectly fine phone call. Hunter was selling influence to 120 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: his dad. He was doing it in Ukraine's Zelenski was 121 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: talking to Trump. Trump is the chief executive of the 122 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: United States government. Guess what, Hunter Biden wasn't supposed to 123 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: have global immunity. 124 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: But he got it. His daddy became president. 125 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: And this is what I think, really it all comes 126 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: down to. Right now, we're gonna have to talk about 127 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: the jeopardy involved here. Anyone who tells you, because they 128 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: they're telling people right now a lot of what they 129 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: want to hear. Anyone who tells you this isn't going 130 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: to be all four of the indictments enormously challenging for 131 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: Trump in the election year, and that this isn't election interference, 132 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: and that this is intended to do anything other than, 133 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: at a minimum, make it impossible for Trump to run 134 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: the campaign that he would otherwise run. Is just delusional 135 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: at this point, right. There's another layer to this, though, 136 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: and we have to look at this honestly. And you know, 137 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you I had some people even after 138 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: when I said the first indictment was coming and then 139 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: the second indictment said why are you talking about this? 140 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: They were upset? Why are you talking? Because this is 141 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: what the enemy's doing. 142 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: You know, what can you say about this other than 143 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: this is the reality of what is coming against us. 144 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: If I'm saying, hey, guys, the enemies line up artillery pieces, 145 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: we better get down in the fox hole now because 146 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: we got incoming. What is the person who runs alongside 147 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: me and says, don't get into trench. You don't even 148 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: know if the artillery is coming, where are you? 149 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: None of that. 150 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: We have to live in reality here. This is a 151 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: multi pronged effort to subvert the twenty twenty four election, 152 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: to destroy Donald Trump, to destroy the MAGA movement. And 153 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: even if you despise Trump, and there are Republicans who do, 154 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: you have to see the standard and the precedent and 155 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: the reality of what is going on here, even if 156 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: you're a desantist person of a vague person. And Nikki Haley, 157 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: Tim Scott, Mike Pence, everybody on the right who is 158 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: technically running for president, and there are people that are 159 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: supporting all of those candidates, and in some cases a 160 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: lot of people supporting them, I would think they could 161 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: recognize that this legal effort against Trump is an abuse, 162 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: that this is also showing us there's a fundamental difference 163 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: between the way the Democrat Party approaches power and Republicans. 164 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: Republicans on our side, we have the people who were saying, 165 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: first of all, don't talk about the mean things they're 166 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: gonna do. 167 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about it. 168 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: Okay, we're an indictment number four, So I'm glad everyone. 169 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: You know, how many times would it say, oh, it 170 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: turns out there wasn't gonna be an indictment. No, every 171 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: time Clay and I have sat here and said to you, guys, 172 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: I think this indictment's coming any day. Now, let's get 173 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: ready for it. Let's talk about it, let's analyze it. 174 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: It has been the case. Okay, we'll have Clay with 175 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: this in a few minutes. He's three for three in 176 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: the last few indictments with being out for the day. 177 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. 178 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 2: It's just what are the odds, what are the chances 179 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: of that? 180 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: But he'll be with us to weigh in on this 181 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: from a from a legal perspective shortly, but with all 182 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: of what we see going on, this is now actually 183 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: about more than Trump, no matter what somebody thinks about Trump, 184 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: because it's clearly election interference. It's clearly the magnification of charges. 185 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: I mean, just look at New York City. It's the exaggeration. 186 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: It is the politicization of our Justice department to destroy 187 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: somebody they don't like. Who is the individual or who's 188 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: going to be able to stand around and say, I'm 189 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm the victim of a crime perpetrated by Donald Trump. Oh, 190 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: it's all conspiracy. The only victim they claim really is 191 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: the United States government or the state of New York 192 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: or the state of Georgia. There's something going on here. 193 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: And I think you need to hear this, because I 194 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: never lose sight of this. I was as brass knuckled 195 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: in my defense of Trump during Russia collusion as anybody 196 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: could be out there, to the point where Trump talked 197 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: to me about it was grateful for the points I 198 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: was making as somebody who had an understanding way beyond 199 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: what basically you know, I don't know ninety nine percent 200 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: of the commentators, even on the right, understood when it 201 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: came to intelligence work, espionage, the Faiza courts, all of that. 202 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: He appreciated the defense, but the defense was more than warranted. 203 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: It was necessary for Trump, it was necessary for that administration, 204 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: and it was what was right for the country at 205 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: the time. What is right for the country in this 206 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: moment when Hillary Clinton can go on MSNBC and be 207 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: gleeful and giddy about the destruction of a Republican presidential 208 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: candidate and former president because her team doesn't like him, 209 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: what does it say about where we are? Play clip three, 210 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: Madam Secretary, fancy meeting you. 211 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: Oh, I can't believe this. 212 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, this is not the circumstances in which I expected to. 213 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: Be talking to you, nor me. Rachel. 214 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 6: It's always good to talk to you, But honestly, I 215 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 6: didn't think that it would be under these circumstances, yet 216 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 6: another set of indictments. 217 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question. 218 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: What is the answer when you come across somebody, and 219 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: I'm sure you do, whether it's in your day to 220 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: day life or you just see their commentary on TV, 221 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: you stumble in the morning, you know you're looking for 222 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: Fox and Friends, and you find yourself on Morning Joe 223 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: for a second, what is their answer to this question? 224 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: How do they expect people who have voted. I voted 225 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump twice. I will vote for Donald Trump 226 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: again if he is the Republican nominee, and I think 227 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: he is likely to be. Although I don't know, I 228 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: don't know. Nobody he says they know is wrong. No 229 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: one can predict the future, as I tell you all 230 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: the time, and that's obviously true. What is their response 231 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: to this. We are supposed to sit here while in 232 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: his seventy seventh year of life, a former president is 233 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: hit with four criminal indictments. We're supposed to sit here 234 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: and forget about the abusifiza the weaponization of the intelligence 235 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: and law enforcement community to try to destroy him while 236 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: he was president and we are to forget that Hillary 237 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: Clinton clearly violated the Espionage Act. This is beyond dispute. 238 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: She did it many times. She did it willfully, she knew, 239 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: she didn't care, She thought she was above the law. 240 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: Kind of like Hunter were finding out, is above the law? 241 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: What do they say to you when you point out, 242 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: why is it that only our side ever has to 243 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: pay consequences? 244 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: Put aside whether or not that's why? Is whether that 245 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: what Trump did? You think he did do? Didn't do? 246 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: Democrats get away with it. Democrats get away with it. 247 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, I think is going to get away with 248 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: the whole thing, and Joe Biden too, and Hillary Clinton 249 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: and Bill Clinton they got away with and they got 250 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: away with a lot. That's a whole other conversation. They've 251 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: gotten away with it. And we know they broke the law. 252 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Bill Clinton led under oath. Put that aside 253 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: for a second. Although that's certainly we're talking about Hillary 254 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: Clinton violated the Espionage Act. We know that she also 255 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: destroyed evidence. We know that when was the last time 256 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: a high level demo got hit with a process crime 257 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: and investigation? No, In fact, during the investigation of Hillary's server, 258 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: remember that They basically deputized Hillary's lawyers to get to 259 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: play on both sides. 260 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: They're her lawyers. 261 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: They're subject the investigation, but they're her lawyers, so they 262 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: can't actually be pressed in the investigation. 263 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: It was preposterous. So we're supposed to sit here and say. 264 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: You your team keeps getting a pass, but Donald Trump 265 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: has to pay the price until they have an answer 266 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: for me on that. I don't even want to in 267 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: all the chirping about all look at the oh my gosh, 268 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: the future of our democracy, it's nonsense to me. What's 269 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: really at stake here? Do we live in a country 270 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: where there is some justice, where there is some fairness 271 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: or not? That's what's on trial here, as much as 272 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump or anything else. Why does only one side 273 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: pay the price? We know they've broken the law, don't 274 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: even get to hear about it. Look, while we talk 275 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: about the most obvious apparent cre like you know, the 276 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton stuff going on in our country, we often 277 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: forget to talk about what's going on silently behind the scenes. 278 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Online identity theft is as prevalent as it has ever been, 279 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: and it's getting worse and worse out there because they're 280 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: really clever. 281 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: They'll send you this happens to me. 282 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: They'll send you a text message and it'll say, hey, 283 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: this is your bank, and they'll actually have the name 284 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: of they did this to me. It was my actual bank. 285 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: They have the right bank, They knew what kind of 286 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: account it was. They just wanted a little more info 287 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: so they could clean out my bank account. 288 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: That stuff can happen. 289 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: They can also just get enough of your info, your DOB, 290 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: your basic information, and then all of a sudden, guess what, 291 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: they take out loans in your name.

I mean, I haven't even 344 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 3: gone away that much for the summer, but every time 345 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: I've ducked away, and this one is not even really vacation. 346 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: It's just they couldn't figure out how to get me 347 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 3: from Salt Lake City to Houston without somehow infringing on 348 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: the show. So I'm at the Salt Lake City Airport, 349 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 3: got the signing tonight in Katie, Texas, and late last 350 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 3: night when I got back from the signing in Salt Lake. 351 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: I appreciate everybody being there, so many of our listeners, 352 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: they were fabulous. Everything falls apart again, and I just 353 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 3: this one in particular feels so dirty and so calculated, 354 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 3: even on a level that the others didn't fuck and 355 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 3: unlike the others where you can say, okay, well, this 356 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 3: can be cured by winning the presidency by a pardon. 357 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 3: This is far more significant in nature than the New 358 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 3: York City state charges, and this one I think is 359 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: going to linger for some time. It's just an unbelievable outrage. 360 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: But it to me is the worst of the four 361 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 3: so far in terms of just what the long range 362 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: impact is going to be. 363 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: So do you think I mean our buddy Andy McCarthy, 364 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: who's going to be joining us later on today Clay 365 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: on the show, he's been pretty clear. I mean, he 366 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: thinks that because of both the specifics of George law, 367 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: state law when it comes to elections, and also the 368 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: reality that there's no way for there to be a 369 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: federal presidential pardon or a backing off of the DOJ 370 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: under sa a Trump or other Republican administration, that this 371 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: is a uniquely serious problem. Putting aside the unfairness of 372 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: it and the politicization of it as a threat. He 373 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: seems to think this is a pretty high one of 374 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: the four indictments. How do you come down on that? 375 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, because again the federal charges. We've 376 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 3: talked about this, I think you can break them down. 377 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: Miami is relatively serious on the process based crime South Florida, 378 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 3: that is, but it's federal charges, and I think the 379 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 3: jury and the judge actually are very beneficial to Trump. 380 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 4: Uh. 381 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: The charges in jan six in Washington, d C. To me, 382 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: as I've laid out, are legally garbage, and again I 383 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 3: think they'll get tossed out by the Supreme Court eventually. 384 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: We've discussed in New York City. I mean, it's a 385 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 3: bookkeeper charge, it's a garbage charge in the first place. 386 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: This one is going to be more challenging because there 387 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 3: is no direct pardon mechanism. The Atlanta jury going to 388 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 3: be very biased against Trump, and it's in a toss 389 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 3: up state, which to me is so significant. As we 390 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: were talking about yesterday and Buck, what's not mistake what 391 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 3: happened here? They listed all of these charges on the 392 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 3: Atlanta website Fulton County before there had been any indictment 393 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 3: from the grand jury at all. They lied and said 394 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 3: it was a fictitious rumor. We talked about this yesterday 395 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 3: as soon as Reuters broke this news story, and then 396 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 3: the numbers and the charges are the exact same, which 397 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: is just unprecedented in terms of the rig nature. They 398 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 3: were cueued up because they knew that, no matter what 399 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 3: they were seeking, this grand jury was going to indict him. 400 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: What do you think that Trump team's move is going 401 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: to be in response to this, Like, how do you 402 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: see this one clay playing out based on the I 403 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: mean I read the ninety eight pages this morning, and 404 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: you know this is kitchen sink included for the indictment 405 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: I mean they're just throwing every you know, every fallse statement, 406 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: every signature, every everything. Right, They're just trying to throw 407 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: the count of countless counts at Trump and also the 408 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: people some of the people around him. Right that you 409 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: had Mark Meadows, and you have Rudy Giuliani, you have 410 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: Jenna Ellis, you have other lawyers, other individuals who got 411 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: caught up in this. How do you think the narrative 412 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: is framed by the defense and the steps taken by 413 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: the defense to fight back. 414 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 3: Well, I think they'll challenge the grand jury preceding itself 415 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 3: based on part of the leak that surrounded this, the 416 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 3: fact that it came out before the grand jury it 417 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 3: actually indicted. I think it's a two front war in 418 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: many ways, like many of these are, where you have 419 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 3: to both battle the legal and the political ram of 420 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: the caseations of this case simultaneously. You can't just fight 421 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 3: one or the other, and so that becomes a challenge 422 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 3: because sometimes some of the arguments that you want to 423 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 3: make politically may infringe on the territory of your legal argument. 424 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: I think still the biggest thing for Trump is going 425 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: to be they're trying to get this case. I saw 426 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: last night watching the press conference with Stanny Willis Buck. 427 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 3: They're trying to get this done in six months, which 428 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: would slot it somewhere in right after Jack Smith requested 429 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 3: for the Jan sixth hearings. Again, I think that's very ambitious. 430 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 3: But if I'm the Trump team, I want to push 431 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: this all the way so after the election, and then 432 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 3: I want to turn if I win, this legal matter 433 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 3: into a political one almost entirely. If you are Trump 434 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 3: and argue, I think to the Supreme Court, what are 435 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 3: you going to try to do here? You can't put 436 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 3: the sitting president of the United States in prison for 437 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 3: state law violations. So again, I think Trump is going 438 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 3: to be running for president. I think this accelerates it 439 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: and it increases these odds even more so to avoid 440 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: having to be put potentially in prison based on a 441 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 3: conviction in a left wing jurisdiction. 442 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: We're looking clay at let me see here, Rudy Giuliani, 443 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Jeff Clark, Mike Roman, David Schaeffer, 444 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: twelve other people I think that are all indicted. You know, 445 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: I know that we focus so much on Trump because 446 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: of while it's Trump and he's running to be president, 447 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: he hasn't President. 448 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: Is Rudy Giuliani possibly going to go to prison over this? 449 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what do you think about the 450 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: realities of the risks here facing some of the other 451 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: people that are very much a part of this Rico indictment. 452 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Fanny Willis said she wants to 453 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 3: try all nineteen defendants together, which is kind of unheard of. 454 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 3: I mean again, I would image there are I know, 455 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 3: there are a lot of defense attorneys and prosecutors in 456 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 3: their history out there listening to us right now. I 457 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: can't recall a case of this magnitude. And also, I 458 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 3: think it brings home Buck the scope of what she's 459 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: trying to do here. She is trying to not only 460 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 3: put Trump in prison, She's trying to put an entire 461 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 3: cadre of legal advisors surrounding Trump in prison for the 462 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 3: rest of their life as well. This is an assault 463 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 3: upon the Republican Party the likes of which we've never 464 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 3: seen before, and upon attorneys who are providing legal representation. Now, 465 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 3: I think what she will try to do Buck is 466 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: turn some many of those that are advising Trump that 467 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 3: they have charged in this case to testify against him 468 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 3: and argue that he was ultimately the grand couba of 469 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 3: what she believes was a conspiracy to violate federal and 470 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 3: state election law. And obviously she's focused on the state components. 471 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: But again I just look at this and say Trump 472 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 3: Basically the question that everybody has is in the event 473 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 3: that Trump is the is the nominee? And certainly I 474 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: saw the pollinge this morning. He's a big favorite, forty 475 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 3: point lead I think right now in New Hampshire, the 476 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 3: likes of which we haven't seen before. If this indictment 477 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 3: is like any others, that will have a rallying effect, 478 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 3: Trump will open up an even bigger lead. And in 479 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: the next five months is that going to disappear? I 480 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 3: find that hard to believe. So basically Trump is and 481 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 3: I can't believe this is real. But Trump is going 482 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 3: to be, in my opinion, running for president to try 483 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 3: to keep himself from going to prison, potentially for the 484 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: rest of his life. 485 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: What do you make of this one? 486 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: Clay Trump put out on truth Social a large, complex, 487 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: detailed but irrefutable report on the presidential election fraud which 488 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: took place in Georgia. Is almost complete and will be 489 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: presented by me at a major news conference at eleven 490 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: am of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey. Based on 491 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: the results of this conclusive report, all charges should be 492 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: dropped against me and others. There will be a complete exoneration. 493 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: They never went after those that rigged the election. They 494 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: only went after those that fought to find those who 495 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: rigged the election. Clay, what do you make of that? 496 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, one, I'll wait and see what his 497 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 3: defense is. But two, do you Saint Jack Smith and 498 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 3: Fanny Willis and Alvin Bragg and and those three prosecutors 499 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: that have brought charges so far, care at all what 500 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's defenses are going to be? 501 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: Not even a little not even a little bit. 502 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm like trying to I'm trying to figure 503 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: out what the Trump play is with this. 504 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a political play, and he may 505 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: have a legal argument that he's going to use in 506 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 3: court as well. I'm not begrudging that. But the impact 507 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 3: on the people that are trying to put him in 508 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 3: prison for the rest of his life is going to 509 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: be zero. You know, even if Trump came out and 510 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: presented stone cold evidence of cheating and rigging, that the 511 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 3: media and cover it. So I understand again, this goes 512 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 3: to the two front or that Trump is now fighting 513 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: both legal and political, and it sounds like what he's 514 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 3: going to present is going to be both of those. 515 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 3: But I can already probably write what the front page 516 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: of the New York Times and the Washington Post is 517 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 3: going to read the morning after Trump presents his defense, 518 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: and it's going to be ridiculing the idea that Trump 519 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 3: has any defense at all. 520 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: Do you think the judge may we've already seen the 521 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: early stages here of protective orders in d C on 522 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: that federal case relating to election twenty twenty and January sixth. 523 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: Do you think Trump may run a foul of the 524 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: Georgia judge in this case by talking about the case 525 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: in this way? 526 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, look, this is what I've said from 527 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: the get go. Is the biggest peril in the short 528 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 3: term to Trump. I mean, we just saw Sam Bankman 529 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: freed have his bail revoked based on his behavior while 530 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: he was out of court, and much of that behavior 531 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: was actually trying to defend himself. They are trying to 532 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 3: set traps for Trump, and they're going to set traps 533 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 3: by trying to get Trump in contempt of court rulings 534 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: as to what he can and cannot say. All of 535 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 3: these judges want to be able, I believe to basically, 536 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 3: you know, put the Trump pelt up on their wall. 537 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: And outside of Eileen Cannon in South Florida, I haven't 538 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: seen any suggestion that there's any remote fairness coming from 539 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: the bench towards Donald Trump at all. And that's why 540 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: I said yesterday, bos to me, this is a state 541 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 3: of Georgia. Interesting question to me, he should have the 542 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: opportunity to remove this case to federal law, federal court 543 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 3: under Georgia law. I would try to pass a law 544 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 3: that would say that that's allowed. Also move it anywhere 545 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: outside of Fulton County. If you move this to any 546 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 3: other county in Georgia, I really do believe this. I 547 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 3: think the odds of Trump being convicted on these charges 548 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 3: are virtually zero. But of course they're bringing it in 549 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 3: the one county where they have a favorite rebel jury 550 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 3: pool and a favorable disposition towards the idea that Trump 551 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: is a criminal. And that's why, ultimately I come back 552 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 3: to the president. That's being set here is blue city 553 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: and blue state jurisdictions have the ability and have now 554 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: shown the willingness to try to put Republican politicians in 555 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 3: prison for the rest of their life. There's no comparable 556 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: action that's been undertaken at all by red states or redstictionss. 557 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: Democrats look at Hunter Biden. They don't fear the consequences 558 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 3: of their actions in any way. And Democrats are going 559 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: to war with Republicans, and Republicans are turning the other cheek. 560 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 3: I don't think that's a good combo play. 561 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: First of all, we need you back tomorrow, so make 562 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: sure your flight lands where it needs to land and 563 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: all that.
