1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Third hour kicks off. 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Now we've got some updates on the Trump discussion of 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: the Russia hoax, Immigration and Customs Enforcement doing their thing. 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: A lot going on there, some updates on Epstein files 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: we could dive into, or will we see more files? 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: Really? 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: Will they show us more information? The House looking like 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: they're not going to vote on that. But there was 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: a possibility of Glenn Maxwell speaking. She is, remember, the 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: co conspirator along with Jeffrey Epstein, who is serving a 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: very long sentence for trafficking sex, trafficking miners. And so 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: we have all those stories to keep in mind here. 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: But I did want to kick us off in this 14 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: third hour with something that I wasn't really expecting. But 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: here we are. Yesterday, my esteemed perhaps even revered by 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: some mister Clay Travis was just he was, I thought, 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: just talking some crazy talk. You know, Clay likes to do, 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: he likes to throw, he likes to throw forty yards downfield, 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: double coverage. You know, he's not a shy guy, and 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: he's saying this stuff about how he thinks Hunter Biden. Now, 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden podcast clips that are circulating are pretty 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: interesting a Hunter is. I don't know if he ever 23 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: got a master's in chemistry, but he certainly knows a 24 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: lot about freebasing, and he talks about how to make 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: your own crack. Actually, so I don't even know what 26 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: freebasing is. I just know it's a way you get drugs. 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: But Hunter knows the down to the molecular structure. He 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: knows the differences in these drugs. Is impressive to hear 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: such a knowledge coming out from Hunter Biden on this stuff. 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: And Clay said that he thinks that Hunter sees this. 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: I just think Hunter wants attention. He's used to people 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: caring about what he thinks because it was all one 33 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: big influence peddling operation with Daddy at the top. But 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: now the daddy's got dementia, Hunter's got to step in 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: and become the Biden brand, such as it is. Miranda 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: Devine another esteemed friend and colleague. Here she is talking 37 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: on her podcast and she, believe it or not, agrees 38 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: with Clay it's crazy talk play one. 39 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: My question is what is he selling. He doesn't have 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: a book out. I think it's more than just trying 41 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 3: to sort of rectify wrongs on behalf of his father, 42 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: because Hunter Biden is really all about himself, and so 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: I actually think that this is his audition to run 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 3: for president in twenty twenty eight. And he's always had 45 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: political ambitions. He had actually a fight with his wife, 46 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 3: first wife, Kathleen, that she recounts in her memoir. He 47 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: recounted in his memoir, and he also talked about on 48 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: the laptop. He was very angry with Kathleen because he 49 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 3: expressed a desire to go into politics, and she scoffed 50 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: at him and said, don't be ridiculous. You couldn't do that. 51 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: You've just been drummed out of the Navy because of cocaine. 52 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: So he was I felt that she didn't believe in him. 53 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: But others of his friends had told me that he 54 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 3: has a really strong political ambition, and I think he 55 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: wants to capitalize on the Biden name. 56 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: He's got nothing else. Clay, this is to me still 57 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: my brain. This is so crazy that I think it's 58 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: too crazy for Hunter Biden even But maybe that's not 59 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: a thing I would I would offer this up. It 60 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: is so crazy. But the Democrat Party is in such 61 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: a decrepit and free fall state right now that I 62 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: guess anything is possible. Is that where we are is 63 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: that really didn't know. There's a difference between he could 64 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: run and win a nomination every mind in a contest, 65 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: but that he would even consider running in the state 66 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party, to me seems insane beyond words. 67 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: You and Miranda do both think that's what he thinks 68 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: he's doing. If you have been. 69 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 4: Coddled to the point where you've been told that you're 70 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: a great artist and your artwork should sell for tens 71 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 4: of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars a painting. 72 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: If you have been told by your dad that you 73 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 4: are the smartest man that he's ever known. If you 74 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: wrote an entire book about your drug addiction that was 75 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: entered into evidence to prove. 76 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 1: That you were a felon. 77 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 4: If you documented every single thing that you did with 78 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: drugs and hookers on a laptop, went to go get 79 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 4: it fixed, and left the laptop behind, and by and 80 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: large there were never any consequences for the choices that 81 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 4: you made. And you had been told that you were 82 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: an elite intellect worthy of carrying on the Biden name, 83 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: and you would come to believe it all, what would 84 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: be the next thing that you would do. He's going 85 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: to run for president of the United States. Now, it's 86 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: the only thing that makes sense to me about why 87 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: he's doing all these interviews. Joe Biden isn't doing interviews. 88 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 4: If there were an ability for Joe Biden to do interviews, 89 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 4: maybe he would. Tends to be the case that presidents 90 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 4: kind of vanish for a little while and don't do 91 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: much media when they leave office. That tends to be 92 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: the general trend. Let the next person kind of come in. 93 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 4: But all of this adds up to Hunter thinks he's 94 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: gonna run. 95 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: Now. 96 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 4: I think a lot of Democrats are going to say, no, no, no. 97 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: The last thing we want to deal with is having 98 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: to acknowledge the sins of the Biden administration and all 99 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: of the lies that we told associated with him. Even 100 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: I think we have the audio. He went after George Klooney, 101 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: he went after Nancy Pelosi, he went after the Axel 102 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: Rod Pluff, and also even the Pod Save America Bros. 103 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: And now the Pod Save America Bros. Are returning fire 104 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 4: at him. I actually think all this does is in 105 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 4: some ways elevate Hunter Biden in his mind. I think 106 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 4: we have audio in pod Save America bros. By the way, 107 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 4: let's play this because now they're willing to say, oh, 108 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: Hunter Biden never should have gotten any of these gigs totally. 109 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 4: He was getting paid because of who his dad was, 110 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 4: but only in the wake of. 111 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: This, which is what we've been telling you for years. 112 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 113 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: Cut when it comes to the attacks on Hunter himself, 114 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 5: like Okay, let's just what if we just stipulate for 115 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: the hypothetical, like, yes, okay, all your business dealings were 116 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 5: above board and legal. All your paintings were purchased by 117 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 5: art lovers who loved the product. 118 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: And didn't know your name. 119 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 5: Trump is worse. You were on the board of Barisma 120 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 5: because of who your dad is, and that is what 121 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 5: people hate about Washington, and it was part of the problem. 122 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 6: One thing we know is that Hunter Biden, throughout Joe 123 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 6: Biden's presidency, was a terrible liability for him, and put 124 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 6: the addiction aside. It is because he was on Barisma, 125 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 6: because he became an artist, because he was part of 126 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 6: a kind of like sleazy Washington. As Tommy said, people 127 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 6: hated you were a liability. You should be ashamed of 128 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 6: the ways in which you made your father's political life worse, 129 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 6: and like the idea that we're going to listen to 130 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 6: you now, like give me a breaks ridiculous Clay. 131 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: They sound like they could have been on the Clay 132 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: and Buck Show as guests for about the four years 133 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: of Biden's actual presidency. But now they say it. So, 134 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: this is what I wanted to get into Hunter as 135 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: a guy who just wants attention. For sure. Yes, and 136 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: that goes to the coddling. Does you really think he 137 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: has a lane? I think the Biden name in uh in, 138 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: the Biden name in Democrats circles is toxic. 139 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 7: Now. 140 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: I think that Biden isn't something that commands any respect. 141 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: I think Biden's viewed as a liability and a loser 142 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: among Democrats. Agree or disagree, I think that's true. The 143 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: question is does that puncture Hunter's expected value of himself 144 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: to such an extent that he's got the self awareness 145 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: to say I don't have the skill set to be 146 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: able to do this or the record that would suggest 147 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: I can run for president. He would be like the 148 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: the the former crack using version of the guy from succession. 149 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: You know, the oldest brother Colm isn't his name? Who 150 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: wants to run on like some libertarian ish ticket, and 151 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: he's very excited because in a poll he's at one 152 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. 153 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 4: Right, he's one of the all time great one of 154 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: the all time great lines. I'm worried this might hurt 155 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: me in the polls. One of the other guys says, 156 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 4: how do you go down from one percent? Like one 157 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 4: of the one of the all It's not Hans, but 158 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 4: his name is escaping me right now. Succession is an 159 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 4: amazing dark television comedy that I love, and yes, the 160 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: oldest son kind of runs his sort of the libertarian 161 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: candidate for president and is able to get around one percent. 162 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: By the way, I don't think we played this cut either. 163 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 4: This is the pod Save America Bros. This is the 164 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 4: left wing establishment now saying hey Hunter, you're not the victim. 165 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 4: This is different, I think than the one we just 166 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 4: played right cut too. 167 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 5: Seeing this today, I guess what I wanted. If I 168 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 5: was in a room with him and able to talk rationally, 169 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 5: I would just be like, hey, man, look around the world, 170 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 5: look at what's happening in this country right now. Like, 171 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 5: I know you're angry personally, but you're not the victim here. 172 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 5: We're all living with what happened in this election, and. 173 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: You got a pardon. You're fine. 174 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 2: It's just. 175 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: Utter lack of self awareness. You know who, Hunter Biden. 176 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 4: I was watching this interview and I thought to myself, 177 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 4: you know who. He kind of reminds me of one 178 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: of the last residents of Buck Island. In fact, listen 179 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 4: to cut five, Hunter Biden, he might have had some 180 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 4: beachfront real estate on Buck Island. Listen, minus the F bombs, 181 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 4: he could be talking like Buck Sexton. 182 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: Cut five. 183 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 7: I will tell you why we lost the last election. 184 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 7: We lost the last election because we did not remain 185 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 7: loyal to the leader of the party. That's my position. 186 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 7: We had the advantage of incumbency, we had the advantage 187 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 7: of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally 188 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 7: melted down. 189 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 4: Now, I don't think that's going to have a hearty value. God, 190 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 4: you might be kissing cousin, so to speak. 191 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: It's look, I think his analysis of this one may 192 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: be pretty astute, because that was what they did was insane. 193 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't think the Democrats could have had a worse 194 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: result in this election than they did. Realistically, I don't 195 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: really think given the American electorate, it was possible for 196 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: that had them to have a much worse result. People 197 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: were saying, oh, Biden was dropping, dropping, dropping. If they 198 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: had if they had gone behind him rather if they 199 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: had rallied behind him, and if he had had a 200 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: decent showing and another debate where they put them you know, 201 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: they put the right drugs into Joe, then I think 202 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: he might have pulled it off. By the way, I'm 203 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: just making sure this is correct. I think this is 204 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: breaking news right now. Do we have guys check on this. 205 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: Do we have any breaking news on with with Jerome 206 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: Powell resigning?

But 272 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: the breaking news, which was shared by members of Congress 273 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: as well as other large accounts online based on what 274 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: seems to be an AI created Jerome Powell letter of resignation. Uh, 275 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: that is fake news. And we've told you about this before. 276 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna keep happening, especially with a lot of things 277 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: that Trump, for example, puts out on truth social It's 278 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: very easy to AI or even just a sort of photoshop, 279 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: a fake one, and they get out there. But yeah, 280 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: I know that Jerome Powell has not resigned. He's expected 281 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: still to finish out whatever it is, the eight months 282 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: he's got left. And so that that was fa that's 283 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: that's a fake news AI job right there. I should 284 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: have waited to the commercial break, but I thought I 285 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: thought I could trust our members of Congress. That was 286 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: a mistake. 287 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 4: Look, the stock market didn't move, So I was like, well, 288 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 4: that's interesting. I like that you went right to here, 289 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 4: Clay went right to like, how is this affecting the 290 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: bottom line? 291 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: You know he's not messing around. 292 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: I mean, I want to know how the markets are 293 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 4: reacting to almost any any news, and so I thought 294 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 4: it was strange that there wouldn't be a reaction in 295 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 4: some way. But I do think, look, we're gonna do 296 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 4: our best. We'll correct it. We're wrong live radio in 297 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: an AI age, there is going to be tons of 298 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 4: different stories that spread rapidly and actually don't have that 299 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: don't end up being true. So I think this is 300 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: a good lesson for everybody. We're gonna do our best. 301 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 4: We'll mess up again, because on live radio there's news 302 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 4: breaking all the time.

Great to be back on your show, and 357 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 9: that's the key question. And it's one hundred and ten 358 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 9: percent difference. The Democrats want to shut down Alaska. I 359 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 9: want to shut down American energy. President Trump and his 360 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 9: team want to unleash it and they're doing it everywhere. 361 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 9: This Big Beautiful Bill does it, especially with regard to Alaska. 362 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 9: But look to be more specific, during the four years 363 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 9: of the Biden administration, Alaska's know this. We suffered through 364 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 9: seventy that seven zero executive orders and executive action singularly 365 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 9: focused exclusively focused on shutting down Alaska's resource development economy, 366 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 9: and the President and his team are one hundred and 367 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 9: ten percent opposite. That's great for America, great for Alaska, 368 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 9: and really great for American workers. 369 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: Centaer, appreciate you being with us. What's going on in 370 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the Senate right now. You guys still have some time 371 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: left here. You're about to go on recess. I hear 372 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: Schumer is up to Schumer shenanigans and blocking judges and 373 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: causing some problems for you guys. Bring us up to 374 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: speed with the business of the Senate as it stands 375 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: right now. 376 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 377 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 9: Look, Buck, we had a really very productive first six 378 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 9: months with the President. I would say historic, and you 379 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 9: guys mentioned it. I'm getting ready to go home and 380 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 9: really really sell this one big, beautiful build. I don't 381 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 9: think there's any state that's fared better than Alaska, particularly 382 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 9: to their earlier questions on the American energy components. A 383 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 9: huge part of this bill is unlocking American energy, and 384 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 9: most of the bill is unlocking Alaska. You know, American 385 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 9: energy dominance runs through my great state. So I'm anxious 386 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 9: to get home to make the pitch to so many 387 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 9: Alaskans where they have a much better understanding how this 388 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 9: helps working families, our economy, our military, our Coastguard is 389 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 9: a home run. But to your question, Schumer, you know, look, 390 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 9: the guy is so afraid of his left wing right. 391 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 9: Every day wakes up scared to death that AOC is 392 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 9: going to primary him. So he is trying to fight 393 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 9: supposedly anything that we're trying to get done to move 394 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 9: forward with our government, certainly on legislation, but on nominees, 395 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 9: on basic you know, under secretary's assistant secretaries, people who 396 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 9: run our government, he blocks every way they can to 397 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 9: get their Senate confirmation. So we're going to start just 398 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 9: jamming down on these guys. We just had a meeting 399 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 9: of all our Senate Republican colleagues saying, hey, we need 400 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 9: to go morning, noon, and night to start getting the 401 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 9: president's nominees across the board. We've gotten zero cooperation from Schumer. 402 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 9: And usually you guys on the lower level nominees, if 403 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 9: it's an assistance secretary, you kind of put it in 404 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 9: a package to move something forward with several nominees. That's 405 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 9: very normal. We did it with Biden. They did it previously. 406 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 9: Schumer's not doing that. This is the most obstruction we've 407 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 9: seen from any Senate Minority leader on another administration's nominees, 408 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 9: literally since Herbert Hoover. The guy won't help us at all. 409 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 9: So we're gonna start jamming down on him. 410 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 4: We're talking to Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska. One of 411 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 4: the things that obviously is going to be a huge 412 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: topic of discussion next year is the House. And I 413 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 4: think we talked about this with you before, but the 414 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: ranked choice voting in Alaska seems to me to be 415 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 4: a complete mess. What is the latest on that. Do 416 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 4: you agree that it's a mess, And what are Alaskans 417 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 4: thinking after they were kind of I think bamboozled into 418 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 4: the idea in the first place. 419 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 9: Well, look, it's still on the ballot in Alaska, and 420 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 9: there's an outside group that put it on the ballot 421 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 9: a statewide initiative in twenty twenty The Republicans fought it. 422 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 9: I fought it. We tried to get it removed in 423 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 9: twenty twenty four. By the way, both times it passed 424 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 9: with less than one percent of the vote, and we 425 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 9: were the groups against it. Republicans myself, we are outspent. 426 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 9: It's unbelievable, I don't know, twelve thirteen million by the 427 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 9: outside group's four ranked choice voting versus eighty thousand Publican party. 428 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 9: It's very confusing and it can be really, really manipulated. 429 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 9: And the Democrats, in my view, particularly Schumer, who's already 430 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 9: been you know, I'm up for reelection this cycle as well. 431 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 9: We have a Congressman Nick Vegas. He's doing a great job, 432 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 9: but we'll have to run against that and look the 433 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 9: best way even with a system like that, which we 434 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 9: don't like. I don't like. It's confusing, it can be manipulated. 435 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 9: Alaskans are still confused by it. Is to show what 436 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 9: we're getting done, and again, I want to come back 437 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 9: to this one big, beautiful bill for Alaska. This bill, 438 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 9: across every element of policy in our economy, is really 439 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 9: really strong, and what we're going to do is run 440 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 9: on our record, and I think for Alaska, this bill, 441 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 9: particularly as it relates to jobs in our economy and 442 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 9: the working class, is a home run. 443 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: What are the most important changes that Trump administration could 444 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: see through here from where things were under four years 445 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: of Biden On the issue of energy. I mean, obviously, Alaska, 446 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: a very important energy production state, affects your economy. It 447 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: really affects America in the global economy too. You guys 448 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff up there. What needs to 449 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: happen or what are some of the concrete things that 450 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: Trump can do so that we take drill, baby drill 451 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: to the next level. 452 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, we've done it in this bill, and the 453 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 9: President did it literally day one. You guys might recall 454 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 9: one of the president's first executive orders about a couple 455 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 9: hours after he was inaugurated, was this executive Order on 456 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 9: Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary resource Potential. I work directly with the 457 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 9: President and his team on this to unleash Alaska. Where 458 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 9: the only state in the country that has our own 459 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 9: executive order. So what that executive order did was it said, hey, 460 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 9: reverse pretty much all the seventy executive orders that Biden 461 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 9: issued to shut down Alaska. So that that was good, 462 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 9: But the big beautiful Bill is even better because what 463 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 9: we did is that we put a lot of those 464 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 9: reversals into law, and that's just obviously much stronger in 465 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 9: terms of what you know, God forbid, we have a 466 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 9: Democrat administration four years from now. I certainly hope we don't, 467 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 9: but if that administration tries to come in and shut 468 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 9: down Alaska, they're not going to be able to do 469 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 9: it because let me give you a couple examples. On 470 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 9: the one big beautiful bill, we open the Anwar, the 471 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 9: National Patrolum Reserve of Alaska, the cook Inlet Region. These 472 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 9: are all federal lands that have huge resources, and we 473 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 9: mandate in this bill regular lease sales that Biden would 474 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 9: never do, that Democrats would never do in the law. 475 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 9: So it says, hey, energy company can come up, they 476 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 9: get regularly sales on all of these really really important 477 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 9: federal lands. As you guys mentioned, Alaska has so much 478 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 9: oil and gas, so many critical minerals. And then really importantly, 479 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 9: we got a permitting reform provision into one big beautiful 480 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 9: bill that will help expedite the permitting of these projects. 481 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 9: One of our greatest challenges the Dems love to abuse it, 482 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 9: is having a permitting system. It takes ten to fifteen 483 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 9: to twenty years to permit a resource development project. It 484 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 9: kills our competitiveness. It's really hard for long term investors 485 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 9: to invest in Alaska when they have these permitting issues 486 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 9: and we got permitting reform done in this one big, 487 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 9: beautiful bill as well to expedite these projects, get them 488 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 9: online quickly. That's a part of the bill. It hasn't 489 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 9: got a lot of attention. Great for Alaska, great for America. 490 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 9: So if you can get it in the law, which 491 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 9: is what we did on energy in this bill, it's 492 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 9: even better than the executive order that the President issued, 493 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 9: which we are really appreciative of. So it's the combo 494 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 9: of both. And he's got a great energy team, a 495 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 9: bunch of his cabinet. We're just up in Alaska recently. 496 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 9: I hosted them all over the state. It's going to 497 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 9: be very exciting times for Alaska and resource development.

Maybe grizzly bears are 583 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 4: in the yard and you need a little bit of help. 584 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 4: Maybe you want to make sure that you're protected in 585 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 4: the event of some sort of weather catastrophe, power going out, 586 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 4: whatever it might be.

Let me pull up the 632 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 4: absolute latest. This is Gary in chesap peak, Virgina. What 633 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 4: you got for is reacting to the Hunter Biden audio 634 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 4: as we were playing at earlier. 635 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 2: Okay, clayon, but great, be on with y'all. 636 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: Appreciate you, and I would. 637 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 2: And I would like say, Buck, I think Clay's on 638 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 2: the sum here because when he broke the situation with 639 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden, I can see Hunter Biden dressed in a 640 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: suit to the nines, hair slicked back, crack pipe in 641 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 2: his mouth, point in the mirror saying you're the man, thank. 642 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 4: You, thank you for the call. I think I'm not 643 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 4: saying it's sane. I'm just saying Hunter Biden sees himself 644 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 4: as the avenging archangel of the Biden crime family, and 645 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 4: he believes that there is a bigger market for him 646 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 4: than there is because of all the lies that he 647 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 4: has been told. 648 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: So the I mean, I can co sign on all that. 649 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: The place where I just don't see it is the 650 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: actual affirmative step of announcing that he's running for anything. 651 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: But announcing that he's running is in and of itself 652 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: just a way to get attention, and a lot of 653 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: people do that. So I'm thinking you are less crazy. 654 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: We both agree it's an insane idea from a rational 655 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: person's perspective, but I thought it was insane to even 656 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: believe that a Hunter would take the affirmative step of running. 657 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: I think it's less insane. Now I'm a little I'm 658 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: a little worried I might have to say you were 659 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: right on this one eventually, which you know that that 660 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: just that bums me, so hopefully well. 661 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 4: I think it could tie in with your argument out there, 662 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 4: which I don't think is a crazy argument. Which is 663 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 4: even Asa Hutchinson didn't have anything that bad come from 664 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 4: running for president.
