1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome on in Everybody Wednesday edition of 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck, I nailed the date play. I was 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: working for a second when they edition it's getting close 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: to Christmas. I'm getting a little hazy. We kick it 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: off right now. I got a lot to tell you about. 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: We have an update on the scandal around the Harvard 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: president and how she's going to keep her job. But 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: how did she feel about somebody at Harvard who offended 10 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: the wokeness gods? What did you think should happen to 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: that individual? We'll talk about that in a little bit 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: in a an exceptional and I really mean that, a 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: talented professor at Harvard. She wanted him gone because he 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: said the wrong things that upset the LM. We shall 15 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: discuss that. We've also got Sam Altman, who was pushed 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: out of Open AI. Clay. I'm sure you saw this. 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: He's saying that AI could derail the twenty twenty four election. 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: I actually think that this is something that we do 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: need to start to contend with that the ability and 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: the sophistication of people out there to create deep fakes 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: and very real seeming propaganda. You know, It's one thing 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: when you have a bunch of Russians who can't translate 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: or can't speak English very well at all, doing a 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: couple of Hillary memes here and there. But this now, 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: the sophistication level has gone up substantially. So I think 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: that's something we shall visit. We'll get into Biden stabbing 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: Israel on the back, not surprisings what Democrats were always 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: going to do. As soon as the outrage at the 29 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: horrific October seventh terror attack against the Israeli people, against 30 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: the Jews, as soon as there was a little bit 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: of room for Democrats to play both sides and to start, 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: they would do it. And here they are. Biden says 33 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: Israel is losing world support in the war with Hamas, 34 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: and he has been described in the media as rebuking 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: Benjamin Netan. Yahoo says the government needs to change, criticizes 36 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: the bombing Gaza. So we told you, I mean, you know, 37 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: the Democrats, he can't can't trust him on this stuff. 38 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: But we'll get into some more of that. A huge 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: bit of news out of the Supreme Court that could 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: effect not only the twenty twenty four election, but also 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: have major effect on hundreds of January sixth prisoners, many 42 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: of whom are I think rightly classified as political prisoners. 43 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: Supreme Courts taking up the interfering with obstructing and official 44 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: proceedings the actual language. Julie Kelly will be with us 45 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: on that. It's a big deal. It goes to Trump's 46 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: J six case in DC. It goes to the convictions 47 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: of many J six defendants already, and Julie will break 48 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: down all that for us. That's the third hours. Next hour, 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Morinda Devine of the New York Post will be with us. 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: We'll also be talking to us about the Hunter Biden 51 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: situation and Clay. Why don't we dive into that right now? 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Here we go, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, he 53 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: gave a press conference. He's holding pressers now everybody in 54 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: which he's going on offense. Let's just get into this, 55 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: and Clau I want to get your reaction. Hunter is saying, sure. 56 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look, guys, so he didn't pay taxes for years, 57 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: so he created dummy LLCs to launder money. So he 58 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: was taking money from the Chinese. So we tried to 59 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: write off a sex club as a business expense. So 60 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: we tried to write off prostitutes as all these things. 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: You know who the real problem is here, Clay, Maga 62 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: Republicans for pointing all this out play clip one. 63 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: For six years, Maga Republicans, including members of the House 64 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: committees who are in a closed door session right now, 65 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: have im pugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife. 66 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: My children, my family, and my friends. 67 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: They've ridiculed my struggle with addiction, They've belittled my recovery, 68 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: and they have tried to dehumanize me all too embarrass 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: and damage my father. 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: For six years, I've been the target of. 71 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: The unrelenting Trump attack machine, shouting where's Hunter. 72 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 3: Well, here's my answer. 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: I am here on offense, Clay, What do you make 74 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: of it? 75 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 4: I respect the fact that he wants to go on offense, 76 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 4: and I think we live in such a politically divided 77 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 4: time that there is a certain segment of the population 78 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: that's going to believe that Hunter has been wronged because 79 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 4: they want to believe that their party is right, no 80 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: matter what the reality is. Hunter created all of this 81 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: mess himself, and I actually think the most significant thing. 82 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 4: First of all, let's talk about what should happen. He 83 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: should be immediately held in contempt of Congress for refusing 84 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 4: to testify as he was obligated to do under the 85 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: deposition that was put forward. If he wants to show 86 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 4: up and take the Fifth Amendment because he doesn't want 87 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: to incriminate himself, that is his right, as it is 88 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 4: the right of many others. But Donald Trump Junior ever 89 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: tweeted this out, and I think it really kind of 90 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 4: goes to the essence here, and I'm gonna read his tweet. 91 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 4: Hunter Biden just refused to show up for his congressional testimony. 92 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to the same amount of outrage from 93 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: the media as they'd have if I blew off any 94 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: of my five congressional sub penis subpenis. But since they're 95 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: covering for Joe Biden and his corruption, I won't hold 96 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: my breath. So the Trump family has regularly been required 97 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 4: to sit under oath and answer questions about a variety 98 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: of different stories, much of which are completely made up 99 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 4: Russia collusion, for instance, Because their dad is a politician, 100 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 4: they didn't do anything wrong. Nothing's been found wrong that 101 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 4: they have done. I actually think that Hunter in constantly 102 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: playing the addiction card is trying to make himself look 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: like a victim, when the reality is he chose everything 104 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 4: that has happened to him. Nobody stole his laptop, He 105 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 4: took it to a laptop repairman. Fifty one different intelligence 106 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 4: agents came out and then lied and said that Hunter's 107 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, when anyone 108 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 4: who looked at any of it for just a moment 109 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 4: in time would have seen how true it all was. 110 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: And what I think is actually the most important part 111 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 4: of what Hunter said. Remember, press conference is a little 112 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 4: bit kind to him. He really just kind of showed 113 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 4: up and read a public statement. He didn't answer questions 114 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: from the media that was assembled there. But Buck, they 115 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 4: have totally changed their story. Remember when Joe Biden said 116 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 4: he had absolutely nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business 117 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 4: at all, that he didn't speak to Hunter's business partners. 118 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 4: All of that as part of the twenty twenty election 119 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 4: has been proven to be a lie. And now they 120 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 4: have retrenched their argument to Joe Biden wasn't directly compensated 121 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: by the money that Hunter got, and so if we 122 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: had an honest media, they would be looking at all 123 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: of this and saying, boy, there's a lot of smoke here. 124 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 4: But I think the biggest issue is this is just evidence. 125 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 4: Hunter's not going to be able to go away. They're 126 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: not going to be able buck to say what they 127 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: would have done if Judge Noriyeika had signed off, if 128 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 4: those irs whistleblowers hadn't come forward. That's old news, that's 129 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 4: taken care of. It doesn't exist anymore. The Hunter Biden 130 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: issues are going to remain for the rest of the 131 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four campaign, and I think it's going to 132 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 4: be hard to dismiss them. I mean, this is a 133 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 4: big story now. 134 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: The final fortress, if you will. For the Democrats, the 135 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: line of demarcation they're going to desperately try to draw 136 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: has to do with whether a Hunter was a cutout 137 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: for Joe. They want to create this perception, Okay, Hunter's 138 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: a mess addiction, blah blah, YadA YadA, but Joe had 139 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. Well, you're noticing, Clay. They're 140 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: having to parse it a little bit. Ever, since more 141 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: information because of Comer and the House Oversight Committee has 142 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: come out where now he's saying Hunter is saying that 143 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: Joe was never financially involved in his business. This is 144 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: cut too, this is from today play it. 145 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: Let me state as clearly as I can, my father 146 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: was not financially involved in my business. Not as a 147 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Barisma, not 148 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in 149 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: my investments at home nor. 150 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 3: Abroad, and certainly not as an artist. 151 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: In the depths of my addiction, I was extremely irresponsible. 152 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 3: With my finances. 153 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: But to suggest that his grounds for an impeachment inquiry 154 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: is beyond the. 155 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: Absurd is shameless. 156 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: There's no evidence to support the allegations that my father 157 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: was financially involved in my business. 158 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: Like, can I just put out what I think happens 159 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: here or what I think the game is. Hunter's just 160 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: gonna You're right, it's now an issue. They were hoping, 161 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, the judge nor Aka didn't let them do 162 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: what they were They were this close. They were like 163 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: this close to being Indiana Jones when he goes under 164 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: the big stone door and grabs the hat and he's good, right, 165 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: He's safe. They were so close but sure with the kids. 166 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 4: It reminds me of Scooby Doo, when you know the 167 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 4: guy who gets caught always says, if it hadn't been 168 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 4: for you, you know, kids, we would have gotten away 169 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: with it. 170 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: You know, when they unmask whoever mad guy is. Yeah. Absolutely, 171 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: But so now he has to go on offense. So 172 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: here's what ends up happening. As long as hunter Biden 173 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: is clear in his protection of Daddy and leaves him 174 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: as a viable candidate for office in the reelection. He 175 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: knows he is protected. Here's how he thinks this whole 176 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: thing lays out. He gives the occasional speech if he 177 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: has to, as new things come out or as Republicans 178 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: go on offense, he plays the my dad loves me. 179 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: I have an addiction. It's my fault, not his fault. Game, 180 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: Stop blaming my dad. He hopes the legal onslaught against 181 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: Trump is enough to bring his numbers down, and then 182 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: Biden or Kamalo wins reelection and he gets pardoned of 183 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: every possible federal crime, and he has random like you know, 184 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: sugar Daddy's like guys who just give him. You know, 185 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: there's some lawyer gave him like five million dollars or 186 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: something like this. That's the warrior who paid off all 187 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: his back taxes. I mean pay off the back taxes 188 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: somebody else did, and he is going to be a 189 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: rich man again and completely outside the reach of federal 190 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: law by well by next December. On the way, what 191 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: do you think about this? He will be he will 192 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: be pardon of all charges, and they'll find a way 193 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: to start making him rich again. As low long as 194 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: he plays the game, as long as he falls on 195 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: his sword to protect Daddy, which I think he would 196 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: do anyway, I think that he certainly will get pardoned. 197 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: And this is why, again, if we had an honest media, 198 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 4: they would be lambasting Joe Biden every time he's able 199 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: to do any kind of public event to get him 200 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 4: on the record saying I one hundred percent will not 201 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 4: pardon my son, because he will, and I don't even 202 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 4: begrudge Joe Biden for making that choice. In fact, when 203 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: I watched this press conference this morning, my first thought was, 204 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 4: I bet Joe Biden is gonna call Hunter within five 205 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 4: minutes of the press conference being over, basically as soon 206 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 4: as Hunter gets into his you know, security detail SUV 207 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: and say you were amazing, son, You did such a 208 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: good job in that press conference. You you were fantastic. 209 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 4: That's exactly what we needed to do. We needed to 210 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: go on offense and point out how awful these Republicans 211 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 4: are for coming after you with over your addiction. Here's 212 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 4: the deal. Nobody's coming after Hunter over the addiction. They're 213 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: coming after him because he didn't pay millions of dollars 214 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 4: in taxes, and he tried to shield the fact that 215 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 4: he wasn't paying those millions of dollars in taxes. Yes, 216 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 4: he happened to have an addiction at the same time 217 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 4: evidently that he was doing all of that. But I mean, 218 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 4: I don't find the addiction argument to be compelling for 219 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 4: anyone with a functional brain, because lots of people commit 220 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: crimes when they're addicts. It doesn't mean that they're not 221 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 4: responsible for the crimes that they commit. You don't get 222 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 4: to just wave it get out of jail free card. 223 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 4: If you are drunk and you're an alcoholic and you 224 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: hit somebody while you're driving a car and you kill 225 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 4: a pedestrian, it would be ridiculous for you to hold 226 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 4: a press conference and say, how dare people condemn my addiction? Now, 227 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 4: you didn't pay millions of dollars in taxes. You happened 228 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 4: evidently to be addicted to crack at the time. That's 229 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 4: a failure of your personal life, but it doesn't obviate 230 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 4: your responsibility to pay taxes. I mean, those are two 231 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: completely different stories. I understand why he's trying to commingle 232 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 4: them because he's trying to play the desperate sympathy card. Also, 233 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 4: nobody's attacked his kids, and he said, people have come 234 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 4: after my wife and my kid. I don't even know 235 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 4: who Hunter Biden's wife is, and nobody's come after his kids. 236 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: The only way his kids have been right, Well, yeah, 237 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: I don't even know. But you're talking about the wife 238 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 4: or the kids. The only story but the kids. 239 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: It's tough to keep up. The wife, it's tough to 240 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: keep up. 241 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: But the only story with the kids that has been 242 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: a story is the fact that they refuse to acknowledge 243 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: that he was the father of one child and that 244 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: that was actually Curl of Joe Biden. But that again 245 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 4: was Hunter's choice and the Biden family's choice. I mean, Buck, 246 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 4: if it came out that you or I had a 247 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 4: secret kid and media matters found out about it, they. 248 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: Would write all about it. It would be a valid story. 249 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: If I had a secret you know, kid from some 250 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: other relationship. I mean, I'm not gonna claim that that 251 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 4: wouldn't be a valid story. It wouldn't be coming after 252 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: the kid. It would be coming after me for my 253 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 4: personal irresponsibility and my refusal to take all that responsibility 254 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: on myself. So this, to me is just more of 255 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 4: the same and frankly more entitled behavior by Hunter to 256 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: even claim that he's a victim. 257 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: Here at all. But I still think for anyone who 258 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: believes that there will be justice here in any capacity, 259 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden will not spend a day in prison. He 260 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: knows it. So all the teary eyed stuff about my 261 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'm facing all this and I'm sorry, but 262 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: a lot of other people in the country already know this. 263 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: If you were just not Joe Biden's son and not 264 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: necessary for the Democrat apparatus to maintain power, you would 265 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: be sitting and rotting in a federal prison for years, yes, 266 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: And Crats would be justifying it, and a lot of 267 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: Republicans would too. They say, here, the law is the law, 268 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, well, like what exactly did I 269 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: do here? And oh no, I'm talking about specifically here 270 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: about the taxes with Hunter Biden. He's gonna get away 271 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: with the whole thing, and that's really tough for people. 272 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden gets away with obviously committing clear crimes while 273 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: they're trying to lock Donald Trump up for absurd, vague, 274 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: uncommitted crimes. This is the part of it that's gonna 275 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: be really hard for people's stomach. Let's come back. There's another 276 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: Hunter bite by the way, about his demands here at Clay. 277 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: We can come into that, but this is wow the 278 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: gall hootspa from Hunter.

Biden also, 296 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: in addition to his scheduled media availability outside of the 297 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 4: capital just a couple hours ago, refuse to do his 298 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: deposition again. He should be held in contempt in my opinion, 299 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 4: But here is what he said about that. 300 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 2: Here, I am, mister Chairman, taking up your offer when 301 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: you said we can bring these people in for depositions 302 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: or committee hearings. 303 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: Whichever they choose. Well, I've chosen. 304 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 2: I am here to testify at a public hearing today 305 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 2: to answer any of the committee's legitimate questions. Republicans do 306 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 2: not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, 307 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: expose their baseless inquiry, or hear what. 308 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: I have to say.

Should it be, well, 342 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: that's a whole other question. But some interesting stuff has 343 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: come out on this Clay. I have to sometimes contend 344 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: with the fact that I don't I am not vindictive. 345 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: I like people to have second chances. I like people 346 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: to be shown appropriate mercy. I don't want to be 347 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: nasty to people. And there were moments, you know, in 348 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: this whole president thing we're with these different women, there 349 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: was a little I had this little impulse. I'm going 350 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: to confess this little impulse to say, they know, if 351 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: they don't say this crazy stuff and try to have 352 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: this halfway down, they're gonna have a bunch of lunatic 353 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: Palestinian protesters or whatever gathering outside their house, probably off 354 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: campus and threatening their children. So you know, I went 355 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: through that exercise in my head of yeah, what they 356 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: said is it's indefensible, but I can see the pressure 357 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: that they may have been under. Forget all that. 358 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 4: Okay, by the way, did not I did not have 359 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 4: any They did not have that. 360 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: They did not have that I was. 361 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 4: I think when you take millions of dollars in payments 362 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 4: to advocate for things that you're smart enough to know 363 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 4: are total bs and hypocritical lies, I have zero sympathy 364 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: for the fact that there may be consequences for the millions. 365 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 4: I have a lot of sympathy, truly for people out 366 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 4: there who were making seventy thousand dollars a year and 367 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 4: they know that their corporate. 368 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: BS is all BS. 369 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 4: But they got a mortgage to pay, they got kids 370 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 4: they're trying to help get into college. I understand why 371 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 4: those people shut up and don't speak out. But when 372 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 4: you are a mouthpiece for the propagandist and you are 373 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 4: being paid highly for that, I think you should have 374 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 4: to suffer the slings and arrows. 375 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: Slings and arrows. Yes, you know, people waiting outside your 376 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: home or something. You would hope it they're but that 377 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: hasn't happened, to be clear, because because the left, yes, 378 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: well they protect themselves, the protect themselves and and but 379 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I was I agree with the culture being applied. Yes, 380 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: And so keep in mind that you know, now it's 381 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: university president says something that we think is really bad, 382 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: and there's this big voice out there that says you 383 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: must resign. And okay, but this is going to continue. 384 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: This is one of the problems in this whole situation 385 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: on the campus is is it deeply abhorrent morally, ethically 386 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: and otherwise to take the positions that many of these 387 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: students have on campus? Yes, are they going to use 388 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: whatever sanctions are now being leveled against them against people 389 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: who won't use the appropriate pronouns going forward? Yes? Were 390 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: they going to do that anyway? Though? So maybe we 391 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: might as well try to enforce or flicks some pain 392 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: upon the other side on the way. Yes, right, these 393 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: are the complexities of this. But here's what I want, 394 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: what I actually really wanted to get to in the 395 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: case of President Gay it has come forward and I 396 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: had Tip Coillette, the website Couillette dot Com on this one. 397 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: They had a piece on this professor, a professor Clay 398 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: who had tenure at the time, and his name is 399 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: Roland Friar Junior. Amazing life story meaning you know, the 400 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: guy overcome tremendous, a guy overcame a tremendous hardship and 401 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: became really an exceptional professor in his field, academic in 402 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: his field. Was the youngest black professor to ever get 403 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: tenure at Harvard, and he ran into the the buzzsaw 404 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: of political correctness and wokeness on campus. A few years ago. 405 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: They had some Title nine investigation into him. No big thing. 406 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: He didn't assault that he wanted and threatened anyone. He 407 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: didn't co worse anyone. He made a couple of jokes that, 408 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, okay, little, you know, maybe a little bit inappropriate, 409 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: but nothing really nothing from what I saw, nothing egregious. 410 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: Made a couple of jokes. President Gay was then a dean. 411 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: She wanted him fired and d tenured for this. They 412 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: haven't taken away. He's a black, the first black professor 413 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: of his age, so young to get tenure at Harvard. 414 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: She wanted him d tenured, which they haven't done. In 415 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: one hundred years and fired Clay and not because of 416 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: the Tunne nine thing, because guess who did the number 417 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: crunching to show that while BLM was saying that black 418 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: people are being murdered in a genocide by cop in 419 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: this country, that the actual data shows that white people 420 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: are more likely. This was his sin. White people are 421 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: more likely to be shot by a cop under the 422 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: same circumstances, by the data than a black person in America. 423 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: Is that enraged the left? And she was the one 424 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: who wanted this guy ruined and this was just a 425 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: few years ago. 426 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean this is why I think this 427 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 4: is such a difficult case because I actually agree with 428 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 4: what the MIT pen and Harvard president said, which is 429 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 4: they're going to try to be as aggressive and defending 430 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 4: free speech as they possibly can. And they tried to 431 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 4: support someone's right to even say something heinous, which I 432 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 4: think everybody out there would agree calling for genocide is heinous. 433 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: But this is the only heinous thing that they will defend, 434 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: is the problem. That's the problem. 435 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 4: And so my concern is that what they'll do is 436 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 4: just decide to expand and be more censorious. Right, so 437 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 4: they'll now say, oh, you can't say this about this group, 438 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 4: and I understand it makes it challenging because you have 439 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 4: the balance of identity politics. What I wish is that 440 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 4: every college campus would come out and say, guess what 441 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 4: life is tough. Awful things are going to be said 442 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 4: that you probably are going to disagree with during your 443 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 4: course of life. That's the price of free speech in 444 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 4: a marketplace of ideas where everyone can say things, even 445 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 4: some things that you might find reprehensible. We have to 446 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: allow that in order to allow the full fruition of 447 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 4: the First Amendment. That's what should be said. That's what 448 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 4: colleges should exist for. So the problem here is they 449 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 4: don't actually believe that. And my concern also is if 450 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 4: you get rid of these people, do you get anybody better? 451 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 4: I mean, really, what we're dealing with is a toxic 452 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 4: foundational issue at these universities that has been allowed to 453 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 4: exist over the last twenty years or so. It has 454 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 4: grown noxious and it's basically a form of nineteen forties 455 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 4: era racism. And some of you might out there might 456 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 4: be saying, okay, explain that it's using race as a 457 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 4: proxy for either good or evil, solely based on what 458 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 4: the color of your skin is. Is a proxy of 459 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 4: what you should be accorded in society. It's honestly, Buck, 460 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 4: to kill a Mockingbird reversed, right, everybody read to Kill 461 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 4: a Mockingbird, or at least some of you out there 462 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 4: pretended to read to Kill a Mockingbird when you were 463 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 4: in school. I didn't courage went to the cliff Notes. 464 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 4: Let's be honest. Some of you went to the cliff notes. 465 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 4: And you know what, Buck, Yesterday I was talking my 466 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 4: kids are in the finals, and my fifteen year old said, 467 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 4: you know, I kind of hate the way they test literature. 468 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 4: You just have to remember characters' names and you have 469 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 4: to remember plot points, and it's not like the overall 470 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 4: lesson of a book. And I said, yeah, because there's 471 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 4: a lot of knuckleheads out there that will not read 472 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 4: the book. And so the way they try to insist 473 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 4: that you read the book is, hey, what's the name 474 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 4: of the narrator? 475 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 1: And to Kill a Mockingbird? It's Scout, by the way. Uh. 476 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: And what's her dad's name? It's Atticus. 477 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 4: But you know it's the point on this is Tom Robinson, 478 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 4: who I love this novel. But Tom Robinson, who was 479 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 4: accused of raping a white woman was guilty because he 480 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 4: was a black man. All identity politics does is take 481 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: the same principles that were roundly ridiculed and proven to 482 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 4: be profoundly wrong from to Kill a Mockingbird and reverse 483 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: the races. So you can't be guilty based on your 484 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 4: skin color. It's just a a sort of mirror image, 485 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 4: a one point eighty from you are guilty based on 486 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 4: your skin color, and now white people are guilty based 487 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 4: on their skin color, and black people, brown people can't 488 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 4: be guilty based on their skin color. It's a bastardization 489 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 4: of nineteen forties America, with the guys being that in 490 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 4: creating modern day racism, treating people differently based on their race, 491 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 4: you're somehow the good guy. And that is I believe, 492 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 4: the root foundational issue that October seventh has exploded on 493 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 4: so many of these college campuses. 494 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: I think also it's it's easy to lose sight of 495 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: just how absurd, oppressive, and obtuse this stuff on campus 496 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: really is because the formulation if you take the Old 497 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: School ACLU. Now the ACLU is an authoritarian left wing 498 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: organization run by wacos, has been for many years. But 499 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: the old School first Amendment small l liberals out there 500 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: would say, well, what Harvard and these other schools, and 501 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: I think Clay, this is your position as well. Yeah, 502 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: what Harvard and these other schools should do is just say, look, 503 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: you're allowed to say as long as you're not threatening violence, 504 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: as long as you're not breaking the law, as long 505 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: as you're not inciting a mob to go after somebody. Basically, 506 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: if your if your speech is lawful and does not 507 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: cross over into conduct or imminent threat, you know, you're 508 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: allowed to say what you want to say, and we'll 509 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: tell people to be nice to each other. The problem 510 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: you have on campus is that it's not like, oh, 511 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: because you know, you know, because they have presidents on 512 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: these campuses who are saying, I don't know, there has 513 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: to be a context before I can decide whether genocide 514 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: of the Jews is a problem for our code of conduct. 515 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: That there will also be other heinous things that are 516 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: allowed to be said. No, the problem is you actually 517 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: will be treated like you're saying something heinous for saying 518 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: that men can't get pregnant. Right. The problem is that 519 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: it goes into this other territory of the same rubric. 520 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a reasonable man's standard failure, reasonable 521 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: woman's standard failure. The second they can, they will wield 522 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: power for the most clearly ideological means by claiming speech 523 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: they don't like equals violence, which is what they were 524 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: doing for years. Speech equals violence was their primary formulation. 525 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: This was really, I feel like twenty six you know, 526 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: the Trump era, right, that's when speech became violence to them, 527 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: and it was things like I like Donald Trump, I 528 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: should vote for him. That's violence. 529 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 4: Well, and not only that, really this is all rooted 530 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 4: in white college graduate anti liberal which is honestly of 531 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 4: the opinion that black let's be honest, is honestly of 532 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: the opinion that black people can't handle mean things. And 533 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 4: so white liberals decide they have to protect black people, 534 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 4: and that's where all the speech codes have developed. And 535 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 4: what they're having to deal with now is, well, how 536 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: do you grapple with that in a situation where the 537 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 4: Palestinians who are seen as brown, the colonizers, the colonized, 538 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 4: and the oppressed. When they're the bad guy, you recognize 539 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 4: that this race based fabric doesn't exist in a tangible, 540 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 4: intelligent way when the white person the Jewish people are 541 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 4: actually the victims the entire identity politics world collapses and really, 542 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: I think exposes the root nastiness of this entire ideology. 543 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: Remember, we've got Miranda Devine joining us the next hour 544 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: with Thesed on the Hunter Biden situation. Also third hour 545 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: today Julie Kelly on a big Supreme Court move that 546 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: could determine the twenty twenty four election, could result in 547 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: some overturned convictions for Jay six prisoners. So we got 548 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: a lot of show coming your way here, stick around 549 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: with us, and in the meantime, I just want to 550 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: say to the guys out there, do you ever wish 551 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: you had more natural energy and drive? As we get older, 552 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: our testosterone levels decline. It can sort of feel like 553 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: you're stuck in first gear. But our friends at Chalk 554 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: have done something about this with their line of supplements 555 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: called the Male Vitality Stack, formulated with natural ingredients.

Hunter Biden defied a 588 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 4: lawful subpoena today and we will now initiate contempt of 589 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: Congress proceedings. There will be no special treatment because his 590 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 4: last name is Biden. Joe Biden and his family must 591 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 4: be held accountable for their corruption. So the Hunter Biden's 592 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 4: story not going away. I just wanted to update that 593 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 4: latest and you sent this to me and I saw 594 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 4: it and presuming that it is true, and I imagine 595 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 4: there will be a investigation. The Democrat mayor of Chicago, 596 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 4: Michelle Wu, not surprisingly a Harvard grad, there was a 597 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 4: Christmas party invite that was mistakenly sent out to some 598 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 4: white people. 599 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: I can't believe this is real. They were trying to 600 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: have a Christmas party. 601 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 4: Where own only people who are colored are are allowed. 602 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 4: And I saw a funny meme on this. It's just 603 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 4: crazy left wingers. It is kind of funny if you 604 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 4: say colored people. That is considered to be super racist. Now, right, 605 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 4: if you say people of color, that is the preferred 606 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 4: speech patterns. Right, So all of this is so bonkers 607 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 4: and crazy colored the little racist you can't people's color, Okay, 608 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 4: We're cool. 609 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: This is not not just a throwaway kind of obsequious 610 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: politeness demands from a left about things like this. The 611 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: constant changing of what are the acceptable ways to refer 612 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: to different groups of people, and the adherence to that 613 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: is meant to be a bending of the need. Right, 614 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: you know, you could no longer call them this, you 615 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: must call them that. You can no longer refer to 616 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: them in this way, you must call them that way. 617 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: And to the point where what was unacceptable is now 618 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: how you know, again, can become fashionable, and what was 619 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: completely normal can become completely unacceptable. Like this, they're just 620 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: playing games with everybody. 621 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 4: No doubt, and it also sets trapped so they can 622 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 4: then brand people racist. 623 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean again, think about that. 624 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 4: And I'm just thinking about it because I'm reading the 625 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 4: Daily Mail headline that you sent me. They're having elected 626 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 4: of color was the way they described this Christmas party, 627 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 4: meaning white people don't count white as not a color. 628 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: They had a no white people Christmas. Yes, yes, this 629 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: is what is going on for. This is a government agency. 630 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: This is the Mayor of Boston, which I gotta say, 631 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: actually like a lot of the city, pretty cool place. 632 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: The Mayor of Boston is having a no white people 633 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: Christmas party and we are supposed to think this is 634 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: normal or I mean it did. 635 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 4: It's important to kind of contextualize all this stuff. Can 636 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 4: you imagine what would happen if a mayor said we're 637 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 4: having a Christmas party and no black people are invited. 638 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 4: I mean, it would be the number one for weeks 639 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 4: throughout Christmas. That elected official would probably get charged with 640 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 4: some sort of crime. This is considered to be progressive. 641 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 4: White people are excluded, but yeah, they want to try 642 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 4: to set traps colored people. Oh my goodness, how dare 643 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 4: you people of color? Well, now you're speaking my language? 644 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? And I think a lot of 645 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 4: people out there, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic are slowly becoming 646 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 4: aware of how ridiculous all of this is. Speaking of ridiculous, buck, 647 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 4: we come back. Let's talk some about this Supreme Court 648 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 4: hearing that is now being set for January sixth, defendants 649 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 4: and why it potentially is so seismic on many levels. 650 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: Next
