I think that this is going to 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: continue to build, and I think it is going to 25 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: turn into such a consequential pyramid of lies that Joe 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Biden is not going to be able to be the 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: nominee in twenty twenty four.

Buck does not think it's going to 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: rise to that level because he believes there is so 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: much lying that goes on associated with the Department of 32 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: Justice and this entire rubric that has been used to 33 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: protect democrats and positions of power. I understand that argument, 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: I disagree with it.

We also had rotary telephones in 57 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: the Travis household for my entire young adulthood and all 58 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: the way up till I've left for college. So we 59 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: are not at the front of technological innovation in the 60 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: Travis household, and my dad getting an iPhone is kind 61 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: of an earth shattering moment. Only took them about twenty years, 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: all right, So let's break down exactly what we got 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 2: going on here, and by the way, questions smart questions 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: too eight hundred and two two two eight a two 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: Because I'm always in my head, So all of you know, 66 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: I'm always in my head trying to figure out how 67 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: to convince people of the stories that matter and why 68 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: the arguments that we're making are correct. So I'm always 69 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: thinking to myself, how do I win? How do I 70 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: win an argument? You persuade a jury, how do you 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: win an election? You persuade the majority of the people 72 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: out there voting that your argument for any particular case. 73 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: In fact, the entirety of any campaign is just a 74 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: storytelling contest, right who can tell the most captivating and 75 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: compelling story about American life such that you trust that 76 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: person to be the ultimate decider of every major issue 77 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: in America for the next four years.

Only one of them can be true 84 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 2: in my opinion, because the stories are in direct conflict right, 85 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: young lawyer, you hear there are three their three stories 86 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: every act.

Okay? 92 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 2: Here are the two story tellers, one storyteller, Joe Biden, 93 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland, Hunter Biden. Their story is this. This is 94 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: the story that Democrats would tell you. Hunter Biden, drug 95 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: addicted son of the President of the United States, was 96 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: so drug addicted that he didn't pay his taxes. He 97 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: illegally bought a firearm, he was paying for prostitutes. He 98 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: was mostly out of control of his mind for a 99 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: long period of time, and as a result, he engaged 100 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: in criminal behavior, oftentimes that criminal behavior actually involving Ukraine, China, 101 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: so many different American foreign adversaries, from whom Hunter Biden 102 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 2: pocketed tens of millions of dollars for himself and entities 103 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: connected to him. But he was such a drug adduled 104 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: kid that he didn't really know what he was doing. 105 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is a beloved father, and all he was 106 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: trying to do was make sure that Hunter wasn't addicted 107 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: to drugs. And Joe Biden was never involved in any 108 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: of the millions of dollars that Hunter Biden made, never 109 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: knew anything about Hunter Biden's business interest And when Joe 110 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: Biden got to president, he said to Merrick Garland, I 111 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: don't want to be involved in anything relating to my 112 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: son or any investigation surrounding him. Merrick Garland, you are 113 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: a steward of American public life. I know that you 114 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: care only about doing the right thing. You and your 115 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: Department of Justice conduct this investigation without any unfair or 116 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: bias treatment in my son's direction. 117 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: I trust you to do that. Joe Biden said that. 118 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland said, you got it, Joe, I'm never going 119 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: to consider the fact that your son is a drug 120 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: addict who avoided paying millions of dollars in taxes. 121 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: I am going to. 122 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: Apply the full scope of American justice to Hunter Biden, 123 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: and we are going to treat him the exact same 124 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: as we would anybody else. There will be no preferential treatment, 125 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: no sweetheart deal. I will not be involved at all 126 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: in managing this investigation. 127 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: And lo and behold after five years five years. 128 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden gets an absolute sweetheart of a deal. He 129 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: is going to plead guilty to two misdemeanors alleging willful 130 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: failure to pay about two hundred thousand dollars in taxes, 131 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: and he will have no consequences for his behavior. 132 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: Okay, that is one story. 133 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: That is the story that Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Merrick Garland, 134 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: the Department of Justice, the FBI. That is the story 135 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: that they would tell you. I think a lot of 136 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: you find that to be an uncompelling story. Okay, that's 137 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: their story. Other story, thanks to the fact that Gary 138 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: Shapley has come forward, he was a high levels investigator. 139 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: Gary Shapley has come forward and said that the entire 140 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden. 141 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: Investigation was rigged. 142 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: That everything inside of your government that your taxpayer funded 143 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: investigators were doing was designed to protect Hunter Biden from 144 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: the consequences for his actions, and that far from being 145 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: an independent investigation. That David Weiss told Shapley and six 146 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: people in this meeting that he had wanted to bring 147 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: charges in both California and Washington d C. Against Hunter Biden, 148 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: that that had been rejected by the Department of Justice, 149 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,479 Speaker 2: that he had asked Merrick Garland for special council status 150 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: and that had been rejected by Attorney General Merrick Garland, 151 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: And that there was in fact not an impartial and 152 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: fair investigation hunter Biden, but that Hunter Biden was protected. 153 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: That in the words and I'm reading from the Wall 154 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: Street Journal of Shapley himself, they allowed a statute of 155 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: limitations to expire that guaranteed that hunter Biden would not 156 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: be held accountable for twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen tax crimes. 157 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: They allowed hunter. 158 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: Biden to avoid paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in charges, 159 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: and that all of this was the direct result of 160 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: corruption inside of the Department of Justice that led to 161 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: a sweetheart deal for hunter Biden. 162 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Now those are the two stories, right. 163 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: You can have an opinion on which story you consider 164 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: to be most likely. But here's what I would tell 165 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: you you must do if you are being fair in 166 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: considering those two stories. You have to consider the motivations 167 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: of the people telling you the story. Chapleigh voluntarily told 168 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 2: this story under oath which put himself, this is the 169 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: ira RS agent, in danger of being prosecuted if he 170 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: lied and was proven to have lied, and so far 171 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: as I can know, and I will open up the 172 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: phone lines eight hundred and two eight two two eight 173 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: eight two. I cannot think of any reason why Shapley 174 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: would lie here. What does he gain? He's a federal employee. 175 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: If he stays quiet, he continues to make all of 176 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: his money, all of his salary. He can go ride 177 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: it right on out, retire, live off the rest of 178 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: his life. I don't and cannot conceive of what he 179 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: gains other than sharing the truth because he's so bothered 180 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: by this preferential treatment. On the other hand, what did 181 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Merrick Garland gain. Joe Biden 182 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: gets to keep his son out of prison, probably something 183 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: that many of you out there who are fathers or 184 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 2: mothers would see as a pretty substantial benefit. If we 185 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: could choose whether or not our child goes to prison, 186 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: virtually every parent on the planet would choose not to 187 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 2: put our child in prison, if we could guarantee ourselves 188 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: that our kid would not go. 189 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: To prison, that our own criminal. 190 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: Misbehavior associated with our child would not lead to consequences. 191 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: Because that is certainly a motive of Joe Biden, that 192 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: would be pretty significant motivation to why why would Merit 193 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: Garland lie? Well, because if he's telling the truth, he 194 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: probably wouldn't get to keep his job. And now he 195 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: has to continue to lie because he's testified the exact 196 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: opposite of what Shapley has testified. One of these two 197 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: guys is lying. If Merrit Garland's suddenly came out and said, 198 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 2: you know what, I misstated, I misspoke to Congress, he 199 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: would be guilty of perjury and he might spend the 200 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: rest of his life in prison because he's not a 201 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: young man who is more likely to lie. Conflicting stories here, 202 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: both of them can't be telling the truth. The person 203 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: who kept his son out of prison, and the two 204 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 2: individuals Biden and Garland, who might well be in prison 205 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: if they told the truth, or the guy Shapley, who 206 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: is just an IRS agent and has virtually nothing to gain. 207 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: It's not always the case that a liar is easy 208 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: to catch, but most of the time people lie for 209 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: two reasons, because they benefit from a lie, or because 210 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: they're trying to avoid consequences from a lie. Both of 211 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: those apply to Biden and Garland and Hunter. None of 212 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: them that I can see, really apply to Shapley, two stories. 213 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: One person is telling the truth, someone else's lying. Who 214 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: is the liar here? I think it's pretty clearly Joe Biden, 215 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden and Merrick Garland, And if I am right, 216 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: they are guilty of the biggest lies in any of 217 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: our lives ever to emerge from the presidency. Way bigger 218 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: than watergate Way, bigger than anything any other president has 219 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: ever been proven to have lied about What happens next, 220 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, and I'll take your phone calls. In 221 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: the meantime, I also want all of you to be 222 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: thinking about this reality.

Big 224 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: part of the success I believe of Gary Shapley's story 225 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: is the fact that he preserved emails back in October 226 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two that told his side of the 227 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: story honestly about what was going on inside of this 228 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden investigation. How nervous do you think he might 229 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: have been that those emails might vanish. I bet he 230 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: had a backup for them. In fact, I hope he had. 231 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: I drive. 232 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 2: It's rare, but when your computer crashes, how much do 233 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: you worry about losing important documents on that computer.

Welcome Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 248 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: Prosecuting the case against Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, 249 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: the obstruction of justice, the IRS crimes, and the fact 250 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are basically getting away 251 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: with them because Merrick Garland is acting as their shield, 252 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: their own personal lawyer, effectively protecting them from any consequences 253 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: for their behavior and as. 254 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: You think about this. 255 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: So I finished off the second hour of the show, 256 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: I said, as a pretty strong argument, I think a 257 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: lot of you agree that what Joe Biden is accused 258 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: of is far more significant than anything that surrounded the 259 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: accusations having to do with Watergate. 260 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: So what should happen? 261 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: Now? 262 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: It's a big part of this discussion. Okay. Now, let's 263 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: say you're out there and you're agreeing with me. 264 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: How you think you know what Joe Biden did, Lie 265 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden did, lie Mayor Garland has been lying. I 266 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 2: agree with you on all of that, Clay, I think 267 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: you made the case. What now, Well, it's a good question. 268 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: Tell you when we come back. But let me give 269 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 2: you a little bit of a preview. Here is what 270 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: should happen. The federal judge that is sitting that will 271 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: hear the plea agreement must refuse to grant Hunter Biden's 272 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 2: plea agreement because there's clear evidence that justice has been 273 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: obstructed in this case and the plea should not be 274 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: accepted as a matter of law. I'll explain that in 275 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: greater detail. Also, there absolutely positively must be impeachment proceedings 276 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: brought against Joe Biden and Merrick Garland. Why not because 277 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,239 Speaker 2: either man is going to be removed from office, but 278 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: because it is important that this story get out there 279 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: and everyone truly understand what is going on. I will 280 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: explain both of those aspects of this story when we 281 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: come back. 282 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: In the meantime. 283 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: Travis household has five emergency food kits from my Patriot Supply. 284 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: Hopefully we're never gonna need them, but it's a great 285 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 2: peace of mind for Laura, me and the three boys 286 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: that if we suddenly need it to have food in 287 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: the house and we couldn't get out and buy it 288 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: we ran out. Things were going crazy in my part 289 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: of the country. We'd have months of meals two thousand 290 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: calories a day, one for me, one for my wife, 291 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: one for each of my growing boys fifteen, twelve, and 292 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 2: eight years old.

I'm going to 300 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 2: take some of your calls eight hundred and two two 301 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: two eight eight two. But I told you as we 302 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: went to break that I was gonna say, Okay, what 303 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 2: happens next? What should happen? In my mind, clearly two 304 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: things need to happen. One, there must be a rejection 305 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: of this plea deal. This plea deal, in my opinion, 306 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: based on the evidence, was a product of obstruction of justice. 307 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 2: That is, Hunter Biden got a sweetheart deal predicated on 308 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 2: the fact that his own father and his father's attorney 309 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: general had protected him from the consequences of his actions. 310 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: When that occurs, when the plea deal is based on 311 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 2: some form of injustice, that is, there is an obstruction 312 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 2: of justice clearly here that has been alleged by this 313 00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: IRS agent Gary Shapley, with substantial evidence to corroborate his allegations, 314 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: there cannot be the acceptance of any plea deal. So 315 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: this federal judge who was appointed by Donald Trump, who 316 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: sits in Delaware, must be willing to reject this plea agreement. 317 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: Her name is Mary Ellen Norieka and I might not 318 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: be pronouncing her last name correctly, Mary Ellen Norika. She 319 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: is fifty six years old. She is a graduate of 320 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: the University of Pittsburgh, and she has been on the 321 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: bench since she was appointed by Donald Trump for the 322 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: past five years. She assumed office in twenty eighteen. This 323 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: cannot be accepted as a plea deal by her. If 324 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: she did that, I think there would be a ton 325 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: of momentum for there to be a truly independent special 326 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: counsel appointed. Remember, this has all been reviewed for five years. 327 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 2: This is not a very complicated case. All of the 328 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: day to all of the evidence is already there. A 329 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: truly impartial and independent special council who should have been 330 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 2: appointed the minute that Joe Biden was elected president should 331 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: be appointed, and a new totally independent special Council with 332 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: one hundred percent authority to bring charges because Merrick Garland 333 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: must recuse himself given the allegations in this case, for 334 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: everything related to this investigation going forward. Okay, that is 335 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 2: step one. Step two is Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans 336 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: in the House one billion percent have to begin impeachment 337 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 2: proceedings immediately against Joe Biden and Merrick Garland. Now, some 338 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: of you out there are going to say, Okay, to 339 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: what end. The answer is, get the votes all from 340 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: the Republican controlled House. Start the impeachment proceedings so that 341 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 2: you can make the case to the American public. Because CBSNBC, ABC, 342 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, by 343 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 2: and large are not. 344 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: Going to cover these allegations. 345 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 2: They are propagandists protecting the Biden regime. They aren't going 346 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: to cover it. But they set the precedent that primetime 347 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: impeachment hearings will be covered. They did it with jan six, 348 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: they did it with impeachment one, they did it with 349 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 2: impeachment two of Trump. They will have to cover this 350 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: as a news story. Have someone who is a compelling 351 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: trial court attorney make the case of exactly what the 352 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: Biden crime family has done, and. 353 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: Force people to cover it. 354 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: Now, this is where if you heard Buck and I 355 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 2: talking an hour one, and by the way, Buck had 356 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: to leave head to the doctor. He'll be back tomorrow. 357 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: If you heard buckin and I talking an hour one, 358 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: here's the deal. Okay, I'm ultimately an OPTIMS. I think 359 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: if a case is made well enough that you can 360 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 2: persuade a lot of the American public of the merit 361 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: of that case, but you have to be able to 362 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 2: cut through the noise. 363 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: People are busy. I've got three kids. 364 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: If I didn't do what I do for a living, 365 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: there's no way I'm going to be diving into the 366 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: specific details of allegation surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden and 367 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland and the irs. I get it. I got 368 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 2: two kids at camp today. I got a third kid 369 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: out of state at camp. I got a wife studying 370 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: for the bar exam. I get it. Everybody's got so 371 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 2: many different moving parts in their lives. It's hard to 372 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: familiarize yourself with all of this. That's why you need 373 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 2: a crystal clear opportunity to make your case. Democrats in 374 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: the Senate are not going to check change their opinion. 375 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: They're not going to remove Merrick Garland, They're not going 376 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 2: to remove Joe Biden. But at some point you have 377 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: to stand up and say, if you're going to impeach 378 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump over his call to Ukraine, which was a 379 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: fraction of the wrongdoing of what Joe and Hunter Biden 380 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: have done, and in fact wasn't even wrongdoing at all, 381 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: it was waving his arms in saying, hey, can we 382 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: call attention to the crimes that hunter Biden is committing here? 383 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: Maybe Ukraine will get the job done. Since the FBI 384 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: can't manage to do it, maybe somebody in Ukraine can 385 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 2: actually point out the criminal corruption of the Bidens. From 386 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: that side, Donald Trump was trying to do the job 387 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: for the media. He didn't do anything wrong at all 388 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: on impeachment one. And so this idea of well, we 389 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 2: don't want to set the president. No, no, no, no, the 390 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: president's already been set at some point. If you keep 391 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 2: getting punched in the mouth and you don't throw a 392 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: punch back, you basically label yourself as a whimp. 393 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: That's what a lot of Republicans are. Let's be honest. 394 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 2: There's a lot of Republicans who are perfectly fine getting 395 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: punched in the mouth, and when they get punched standing 396 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 2: back up and saying, well, that certainly violated the norms, 397 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: and you get punched in the mouth again. 398 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: So there with blood running down your chin. 399 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about the president that is being set, 400 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 2: and then you get punched in the mouth again. 401 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: Democrats are bullies. 402 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: You either stand up to a bully, or you keep 403 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: getting punched in the mouth again. Republicans, and I hate 404 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: to say it, behave like a bunch of whiny bitches 405 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: most of the time. They got no spine, they got 406 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: no backbone. They're comfortable getting pun punched in the mouth 407 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: time after time after time. Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, you 408 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: guys know what I'm talking about. Get punched in the face, 409 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: don't care. I guess it's kind of an asset to 410 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: turn the other cheek if you make a living as 411 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 2: a professor, as a minister. 412 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: But this is politics, man, this is nasty. You either 413 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: throw a. 414 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 2: Punch back, or you keep getting punched in the face. 415 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: Does Kevin McCarthy have a strong right hand. I'd like 416 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: to think that he will, like to think that he does. 417 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 2: This is not a tough call. You look, I laid 418 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 2: out the case. I mean just go listen to the 419 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: start of this show. Go listen to the start of 420 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 2: this hour. I laid out the case. 421 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: Man. 422 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: I could walk into the well of the House of 423 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 2: Representatives and make this case right now, It's no brainer. 424 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: I could show up and do the impeachment trial, make 425 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: the case exactly what's been doing. This is not a 426 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 2: hard case to argue. It's a no brainer. The case 427 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 2: must be brought, they must be impeached, and when that happens, 428 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 2: if Republicans are willing to do it, then Joe Biden's 429 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: career as a politician is over because what he is 430 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 2: engaged in in consultation with Hunter, the Biden crime family, 431 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland, Frankly, I think it's criminal, and I think 432 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 2: they should face criminal charges at a minimum. Their political 433 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 2: careers are over, and I think, frankly, history is going 434 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: to judge Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden as disgraceful 435 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: representatives of the American body politic. I really do. I 436 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: think Mary Garland will go down in history as the 437 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: worst Attorney General in United States history. That's going to 438 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: be his legacy because I think he is a total 439 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 2: whimp and I think he has been run roughshod over 440 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: by the Biden White House, and he has allowed Hunter 441 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 2: Biden to get a breath taking Lee breathtaking Lee corre 442 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 2: plea deal because he insisted that there be no consequences 443 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: for the Biden crime family. Effectively, Merrick Garland is, in 444 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 2: my always humble opinion, the equivalent of a mob boss. 445 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: Lawyer. 446 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: He's out there doing the dirty work to make sure 447 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: that his criminal syndicate doesn't go down. That's Merrick Garland. 448 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 2: So are you going to hold them accountable? The judge 449 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: shouldn't allow the plea agreement, which in my opinion, would 450 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: lead to the appointment of an independent special counsel. 451 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: Does that judge? 452 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 2: Really? 453 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: What we're talking about here is spine balls, the willingness and. 454 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 2: Ability to stand up to people in positions of power 455 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: and say I'm going to do the right thing. Does 456 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: the judge have balls? Does Kevin McCarthy have balls? Does 457 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: the Republican Party have the testicular fortitude to do what 458 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: must be done? I know a lot of you out 459 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: there saying I don't know kind of feel the same way. 460 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 2: But it's not a hard call. It's an easy choice. 461 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: Must be impeachment of both Merrick Garland and Joe Biden. 462 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: And also there absolutely positively must be a rejection of 463 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: this plea agreement. That's what must happen based on the 464 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: evidence that is outstanding right now. It's not a hard call. 465 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: It is a challenging call to stand up to people 466 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 2: in positions of power, but the actual facts and the 467 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 2: law it's not remotely complicated. I'll close out with your calls, 468 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: fire away with whatever questions you may have.

Clay, Hey, you just alluded to it when 499 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 3: I call it the call screener. My question was is 500 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 3: it legal for the judge overseeing the Hunter Biden plea 501 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: deal to put the deal on pause depending all this 502 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: new revelations last week? 503 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? 504 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: Not only is it, thank you for the call. Not 505 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 2: only is it legal, I think it's legally imperative that 506 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: she do so. Again, the judge has to sign off 507 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: on the deal that has been reached between the United 508 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: States government and Hunter Biden and his attorneys. Given the 509 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: revelations that have come out from Gary Shapley that specifically 510 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 2: say that this was not an independent investigation, in fact, 511 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 2: that the investigation was obstructed in favor of Hunter Biden, 512 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: I do not understand how any federal judge in the 513 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 2: country could sign off on this plea agreement. I think 514 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: she must reject it, and I think the likely outcome 515 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: of a rejection would be a newly appointed special counsel. 516 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 2: I think that Merrick Garland would have to recuse himself, 517 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: given that he might well and should be under impeachment 518 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 2: proceedings himself. Therefore, he would not be able to oversee 519 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: this at all. That to me is the natural result 520 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: if this federal judge, who is a Trump appointed federal judge. 521 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: I'll give you her name one more time, because she 522 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: is in position to rectify this injustice. Mary Ellen Noriyaika. 523 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: I might be mispronouncing her last name. If so, I apologize. 524 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 2: I do not know her, but she was appointed by 525 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: Donald Trump in August of twenty eighteen. She took office. 526 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 2: She has been there for almost five years. She has 527 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 2: to sign off on this plea agreement. 528 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: She should not. 529 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: Do it at all. Okay, who is up next? Who 530 00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: should I take next? 531 00:32:59,760 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: To you? 532 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: Owl in Johnson City, Tennessee? 533 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: Which got for us? 534 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 4: Hey? Hey Clay, Yeah, I was kind of ask something 535 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 4: similar based on what you said. If this judge rejects 536 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 4: this plea, and let's say Marrek Garland and Joe Biden 537 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 4: they start facing impeachment, would who would appoint the Special 538 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 4: Council at that point? Because that's I mean, does the 539 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 4: House do that or. 540 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: Who would be So it's a great question. 541 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,239 Speaker 2: I am not an expert to be fair in the 542 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: Independent Council Statute. My understanding is that the Independent Council 543 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 2: Statute is designed to deal with executive branch conflicts, and 544 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 2: therefore it would need to be appointed by someone in 545 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: the executive branch. 546 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: Now, there's nothing to prohibit. In fact, that is what. 547 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: An impeachment investigation and trial would be from the legislative branch, 548 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 2: effectively undertaking their own investigation. 549 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: Right, So, that is what impeachment would be. 550 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: It's why it's important, it's why it needs to be 551 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: in primetime, much like the January six hearings were. And 552 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 2: for those out of you out there that say, well, 553 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what the point of the impeachment would be. 554 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 2: It's because people get influenced by it. Right, You and 555 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: me and many of the people out there in the 556 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 2: country knew, having studied and paid attention to the January 557 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: sixth cases, that the January sixth primetime hearings were a 558 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 2: show trial designed to effectively be a third impeachment trial 559 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. 560 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: But they weren't. 561 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 2: Some independent voters tuned in and were influenced enough that 562 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 2: Democrats did not suffer the drubbing that many, including me, 563 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 2: thought they would in the twenty twenty two midterms. I 564 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 2: think that's because Democrats adroitly carried the message of democracy 565 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: in peril through the primetime hearing surrounding January sixth. There 566 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: are lots of persuadable people out there who know nothing 567 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: about Hunter Biden, who know nothing about Joe Biden, who 568 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,399 Speaker 2: still think, if they know anything about the laptop at all, 569 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 2: that it was Russian disinformation. We have to correct those 570 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: people's misapprehensions, their belief in falsehoods. That's what a prime 571 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 2: time impeachment hearing of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden would do. 572 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 2: Not going to get removed from office, but it helps 573 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: to tell the story that otherwise is not being told 574 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: by mainstream propaganda media still trying to protect Joe Biden. 575 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: Kurt in Tarahoe, Indiana. What you got for us? 576 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 5: Hey, thanks taking my carl to your point, I believe 577 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 5: that everything you said is absolutely true. As a black 578 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 5: conservative here in the Midwest. One of the things I'm 579 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 5: concerned about is to your point, again, that wouldn't it 580 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 5: take something like an impeachment to get all of this exposed? 581 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 5: There are a whole lot of people of my skit, 582 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 5: of my race who are still horsewoveled by. If you 583 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 5: don't vote from me, you're not black Biden yep, and 584 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 5: probably for the crook that he is, that the crime 585 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 5: boss that he is. 586 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: Yep. 587 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 4: That's all. 588 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: Thank you for the call, Thank you for listening to 589 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 2: give you a heads up. Wesley Hunt is going to 590 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: join us. He's a Texas congressman west Point Grad. He 591 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: made this exact case. He shared several different black famous 592 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 2: individuals that were accused of crimes very similar to Hunter Biden, 593 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 2: except they actually went to prison for them. You want 594 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 2: to talk about how much the rig job was in 595 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: He's going to talk to you about some of those 596 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 2: famous individuals charged with very similar crimes to Hunter Biden 597 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 2: tax evasion. They got sent to prison, some of them 598 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 2: for years. I think that's something that cuts through the 599 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 2: noise for a lot of independent black voters. Remember a 600 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 2: lot of black men out there open to Republican arguments 601 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 2: like our last caller. 602 00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: Big discussion tomorrow,
