1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton's Show. We hope all 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: of you had a phenomenal weekend. We are here to 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: begin the fifteen hours of fun that we will bring 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: to you over the course of this week, and we 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: have got a bevy of stories to dive into with 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: all of you. We begin though, Buck and I don't 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: want to sound like I am CNN here, but the 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: walls are closing in on Joe Biden. In the last week, 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 2: we had double IRS whistleblower under oath testimony that Joe 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: Biden's Department of Justice had covered for Hunter Biden to 13 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: provide him with a sweetheart deal. We had an FBI 14 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: agent under oath say that the FBI knew that the 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: laptop was one hundred percent real, that is Hunter Biden's 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: laptop when the New York Post story came down in 17 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: October of twenty twenty and it was immediately censored. We 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: also have a reliable, historically informant to the FBI who 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: says that Hunter and Joe Biden were paid ten million 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: dollars between them to do work for Beisma up to 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: and including insisting that a prosecutor be fired over the 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: work that that prosecutor was doing. That Bearisma did not 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: like all three of those stories becoming in earnest legitimate. 24 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 2: It's hard to deny that they are substantial stories. The 25 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: last week, late last night, Buck, our good friend Miranda 26 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: Divine at The New York Post, who initially broke the 27 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden laptop story, she dropped a doozy of a 28 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: story about upcoming under oath testimony that will soon arise, 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: and that is this Buck that on at least is 30 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: it fourteen occasions? I believe there were telephone calls where 31 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: Hunter wanted to show and demonstrate how impressive his connections were, 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: and so he had his dad, Vice President Joe Biden, 33 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: hop on those calls to demonstrate what exactly was going on. 34 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 2: Two dozen times. I apologize at least two dozen times. 35 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: That is twenty four times. That is what ex business 36 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: partner Devin Archer is going to testify to. This is 37 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: important because Joe Biden has consistently said that he had 38 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business dealings. Now 39 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: we all know that's a lie because of the evidence 40 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: that's come out so far, but under oath testimonies, specifically 41 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: referencing twenty four different calls that Joe Biden was involved in. 42 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: There's also the allegation, we'll see whether or not these exacts, 43 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: that there are all of these recorded phone calls involving 44 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden and the Bereizeman executive, including two involving Joe 45 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: Biden himself. All of this is becoming buck even if 46 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: you are a died in the Wooll Democrat supporter, this 47 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: is becoming almost impossible to ignore. 48 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: Okay, let's just take a look at one of these 49 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: things for a second. This is from Miranda Devine's piece 50 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: because Claire, then then I want to pose this to 51 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: you with the the next step component of this. Right, 52 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 3: Let's say the walls are closing in. What happens when 53 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: the walls close all the way Like in Star. 54 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: Wars, you have to find something that keeps the member 55 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: when they're in the garbage the dump. 56 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: They have to find something that stops it from shutting completely. 57 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: But I want to get there, but just first, because 58 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: I think you know, we hit this point and this 59 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: is so key talking about one of the calls, and 60 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: there's a lot of different you know there's a bunch 61 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: of Ukrainian names in here, and I know you could 62 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: get it's in the weeds, which it has to be, 63 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: because it's a pretty complicated scheme they were running. But 64 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: ten weeks before the call. This is from Mirandovie Divine's 65 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 3: New York Post piece on September twenty fourth, twenty fifteen. 66 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: Noteworthy because Joe Biden is the vice president, he's actually 67 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: in office. To make this very clear for everybody, US 68 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 3: Ambassador Jeffrey Piat had given a speech about corruption in 69 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: Odessa in which he targeted Zhlatzchewski's Lachev. Yeah, that's right 70 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: by name Lachewsky involved in this whole scheme. By then, 71 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Chokin, who we talked about last week, 72 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: was investigating Barisma for corruption and within two months, on 73 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: February second, twenty sixteen, would seize four houses in Kiev, 74 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: two plots of land, and a Rolls Royce belonging to Zlatzchewski, 75 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 3: who was living in exile in Dubai. I'd never get 76 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: a Rolls Royce even if I had the money. By 77 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 3: the way, I don't understand it, but anyway, a month later, 78 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: Chokun was fired after Joe bid threatened to withhold one 79 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: billion dollars in US eight. I think this is important 80 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 3: soever and can see because some of this stuff is, oh, 81 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: well Biden was out of office, or was there any 82 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: equid pro quo? What is established there? That chain of 83 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: events is this is Joe Biden is in office. There's 84 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: a clear quid pro quo. He admitted to him. He 85 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: admitted to it himself. And this should be open and shut, 86 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: but it's not. And this brings me to the walls 87 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: they're closing in? How do the walls close in? Clay 88 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 3: Let let's let's take this one. Let's do or gain 89 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: this a little bit. Democrat prosecutors, or I should say, 90 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: doj Under Biden is going to decide that they finally 91 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: had enough. They're going to prosecute a sitting president. No, 92 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: it's not going to happen, right. I think we can 93 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 3: agree on that Democrats are going to all of a sudden, 94 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 3: after all we've seen, grow some kind of a political 95 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: conscience and decide that it's too corrupt. Did Joe Biden? Remember? 96 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 3: They are gearing up for in their eyes, the twenty 97 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: twenty four election is in the Democrat mind. Okay, put 98 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: a side. We still have a primary. Nothing is you know, 99 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: nothing is final. The Fat Lady has not yet sung. 100 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: But Democrats are gearing up for what they view as 101 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: an existential fight for our democracy against Donald Trump. Is 102 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 3: there any world in which they will give up political 103 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: advantage when they think, or at least they've convinced themselves 104 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: that they really are fighting for the future of this 105 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: country as it is a republic. But they like to 106 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: color democracy and therefore do what is necessary here with 107 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. 108 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: You don't mean like what, I'm not going to do 109 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: anything I think, and that's why. And I understand the frustration. 110 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: I understand everybody out there saying, how much more open 111 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: and chuck in this git And let me be clear, Buck, 112 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: this is far worse than Watergate. Let me be clear 113 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: about this. What is very reliably alleged, all that we're 114 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: laying out that Joe Biden may well have done is 115 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: far worse than anything that occurred with Watergate. Let me 116 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: be clear, far worse, far worse than anything that was 117 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: alleged that Bill Clinton himself did while he was in office, 118 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: and also far worse than anything that has been alleged 119 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump did while in office. I should say 120 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: credibly alleged, because they were all sorts of crazy. This 121 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: is credible allegations, right. This isn't just you and me 122 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: throwing random things at the wall and hoping something sticks. 123 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: These are significant, credible allegations that are being made under oath. 124 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: And this is so important, Buck, When you make an 125 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: allegation like this under oath, if you are lying, you 126 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: are setting yourself up to be prosecuted for perjury. So 127 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: this is I think a lot of people miss this. 128 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: What is the benefit to putting yourself under oath and 129 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: risk imprisonment? If you're not telling the truth and you 130 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: raise your right hand to testify under oath in front 131 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: of Congress something that is one hundred percent false, you 132 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: are putting yourself in potential significant criminal dial dire straits. 133 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't feel likely to me. So what should happen? 134 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: What should happen in an honest world is the Washington 135 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: Post and the New York Times and MSNBC and CNN 136 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: should be covering this like they would cover it if 137 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: Trump were involved. That's what should happen in an honest world. 138 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,119 Speaker 3: We're not in an honest. 139 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: World, we have proper endemy zero chance, zero chance, Right, 140 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: So what should happen? What can you do? Joe Biden 141 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: should be impeached, and Joe Biden should be impeached, and 142 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: the Republicans in the House must have primetime hearings on 143 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: all of these allegations surrounding the Biden crime family. And 144 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: some of you out there say why, because what happened 145 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: with the January sixth primetime hearings buck It moved enough people. 146 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: There were a tiny number of people who saw that 147 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: and they said, oh, my goodness, Trump is a threat 148 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: to the Republic. I'm going to vote differently than I 149 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: might otherwise vote in twenty twenty two. So this is 150 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: not about Look, the Democrats and the Senate are going 151 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: to protect Joe Biden. They're not going to vote to 152 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: remove him from office. There's not going to be sixty 153 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: seven Senators who suddenly have a stroke of conscience and say, 154 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: my goodness, this is far more serious than Watergate. We 155 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: can't have a president to say nothing of his dementia. 156 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: We can't have a president who did this while in 157 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: office as vice president. Must have primetime hearings. Every Republican 158 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: must vote to impeach. 159 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: I would wonder, so the political remedy, You're right, is 160 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 3: the only remedy that is possible here, which is what 161 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: we've been saying all along. You want justice win and 162 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 3: have the power to do something about it. 163 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 4: That's right. 164 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: Anyone's sitting around saying, but maybe the DOJ will fund No, 165 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: they're not gonna know. Anything not gonna happen. Right, we 166 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: all understand we've seen him with Hunter. Let's keep in 167 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: mind this is a more complicated, you know, scheme. The 168 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden situation is as straightforward as anything can be. 169 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: The guy took millions of dollars, hit it in accounts, 170 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 3: intentionally didn't pay taxes on at full stop tax evasion. 171 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 4: Right. 172 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: If they can make that go away, they'll make anything 173 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: go away. That's as straightforward a violation of law as 174 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 3: you're gonna find. But to your point about the impeachments, 175 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: I would even put it to the Republican leadership, and 176 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: I'd put it to any member of the Congress who 177 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: wasn't on board for this, and say, what's the argument 178 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: against this? Is Joe Biden not guilty of high crimes 179 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 3: and misdemeanors while in office as a result of this, 180 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: and let's look at what the precedent is, what has 181 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 3: been set here, which is that they were willing to prosecute, 182 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 3: or I should say, to push an impeachment, which is 183 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: like a form of prosecution against Donald Trump. For in 184 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: the first instance, you still sit there and say, what 185 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: exactly was the impeachable offense? I can't even really remember. 186 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 2: They argued buck that Trump was demanding a foreign investigation 187 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: of his chief political rival, and therefore he must be 188 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 2: impeached for it. 189 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: Right he But I mean, what was the law? What 190 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 3: law does he really break? 191 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: Right? 192 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: It was effectively they were claiming some kind of quid. 193 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: Probate again, yeah, the crazy Yes, they were trying to 194 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: argue that he was threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine 195 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: unless Ukraine did something to his chief political rival. 196 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 3: That was there. Aw, can I just point out it's 197 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 3: a political crime, basically, it's not actually criminal violation, is 198 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: my point? Right, There's there's no crime that has been 199 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: committed there and and to now as we see, well, 200 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 3: actually the really bizarre but now, I guess unsurprising part 201 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: of this is the whole premise was accurate. So to 202 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 3: bring that impeachment against Trump you would have to be 203 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 3: operating in a world where the son of a Democrat 204 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 3: politician is actually above the law, is actually somebody who 205 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: can commit the worst kinds of corruption and bribery abroad 206 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: and sell out his country via Daddy without consequence, which 207 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: is effectively Clay. What they ended up saying right that 208 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: it was how dare you go after Hunter Biden? Well, 209 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 3: he was breaking him off. It was still remarkable, buck 210 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: is that? And we need to talk about this more. 211 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: Trump was impeached the first time for drawing attention to 212 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's clearly impeachable acts. 213 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: Think about I mean this to me really kind of 214 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: crystallizes how much we live in an upside down world. 215 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 2: Donald Trump was impeached the first time for trying to 216 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: draw attention to Joe Biden's imminently impeachable and may probably 217 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: based on the way the tax code would work, clearly 218 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: criminal acts that he and Hunter Biden were involved in. 219 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how much more upside down the world 220 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: can get than Trump being held responsible by being impeached 221 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: for Joe Biden's actual impeachable events, behavior and action. 222 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: Can I just put this out there, just what is 223 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: the rationale for not impeaching Joe Biden right now. If 224 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: you're a Republican at the bunkers, that's no one that 225 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: I can think. I'm sorry, that's that's not what That's 226 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: not what I'm I mean. If you are one of 227 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 3: the Republicans who won't vote for impeachment, I want to 228 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: know why is what? 229 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 4: I like? 230 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: What is the rationale not agreeing as a Republican to impeach? 231 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 4: Uh? 232 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 3: You don't think this stuff is criminal, you don't think 233 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: this stuff is corrupt. It's I feel like some it 234 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: maybe like tone policing of you know ah, but like 235 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 3: our democracy is a soo so caustic these days. 236 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: I let's talk about why you wouldn't impeach. I think 237 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 2: that's an important question. Nine eleven, two thousand and one, 238 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: some nine and seventy seven people lost their lives, and 239 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 2: today nine eleven related illnesses continue to take lives. Yet 240 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: a whole generation knows little to nothing about our nation's 241 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: darkest day. The Tunnel to Towers nine to eleven Institute 242 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: is writing this wrong by educating kids in kindergarten through 243 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: twelfth grade about nine to eleven. Their nonfiction, first person 244 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: accounts are told through videos. And a book series. These 245 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: accounts are moving and unparalleled. Kids won't forget these true stories. 246 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: The institute offers full curriculum units with scripted social studies, lessons, activities, 247 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: and background for teachers. They've organized a Speaker's bureau for 248 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: classrooms with access to nine to eleven first responders, survivors 249 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: and loved ones. Tunnel the Towers has built out a 250 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: mobile exhibit attractor trailer with an interactive museum with nine 251 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: to eleven artifacts. All so we'll never forget, we must 252 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: educate future generations. Let's help our nation honor its valve. 253 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to Towers at 254 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: T two t dot org. That's t the number two 255 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: t dot org. 256 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: Speaking truth and having fun. 257 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton all. 258 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: ARTI welcome back to Clay and Buck. We were just 259 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: talking before about the latest revelations and we think it's 260 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: going to be entered into official testimony that Joe Biden 261 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: was hopping on the phone to help seal deals for 262 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 3: Hunter when Joe was vice President's pretty big deal. I 263 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 3: know we think the vice president's almost ceremonial most of 264 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 3: the time, but especially when that vice president is in 265 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: charge of foreign policy with regard to Ukraine, effectively had 266 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 3: the scepter of power from the White House to do 267 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 3: whatever he wanted in Ukraine, and then he fired a prosecutor, 268 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: which is so weird because I sit here and say 269 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: to any of you, find me one other vice president 270 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 3: in the last one hundred years who's bragging about firing 271 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: a corruption prosecutor in a foreign country like that seems 272 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: so strange, And yet that's the situation. But don't worry. 273 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: The very honest Clay, the very honest and reliable shift 274 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 3: in Congress is here to tell everybody that Jack Smith 275 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: so far is being really conservative about the charges play. 276 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 5: For My sense of Jack Smith is he's doing what 277 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 5: he should, which is he has been very conservative, and 278 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 5: I think it is charging decisions to date that is, 279 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 5: you can charge additional crimes, But the question for prosecutors 280 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 5: is what's the strongest case. What are the strongest charges 281 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 5: that best match the facts? And I think, you know, 282 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 5: given the difficulty of this kind of pruscution to begin with, 283 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 5: adopting that kind of conservative strategy makes a lot of sense. 284 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess what they're going to go for a 285 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: jan sixth charge of some kind just because of the 286 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 3: political ramifications I bring it up. I also just play 287 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: shift because everyone should know, like who some of the 288 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: players are here, what we're dealing with. Play the point 289 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: about impeaching Biden. Any Republican who won't impeach Biden, we gotta, 290 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: we gotta have a conversation. We gotta invite. I want 291 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: to know who won't. I want them to come on 292 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: the show and explain to us why they wouldn't. 293 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I would ask Speaker Kevin McCarthy, you know, 294 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: send us a li of guys or girls that you 295 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: think will not vote to impeach Biden. My general sense, 296 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: buck you asked the question why wouldn't you is it's 297 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: entirely political, and it's because people think that they are 298 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: in fifty to fifty ish districts like some of those 299 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 2: districts that flipped in New York, some of those districts 300 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: in California for instance, that I'm just kind of tossing 301 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: out there, and they feel like in twenty twenty four, 302 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: if they vote to impeach Biden, they will be considered 303 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: and called right wing zelots, right wing ideologues, and they 304 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 2: think that that might cost them their congressional seat. But 305 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: what I would say is, I don't know that I 306 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: buy that, because I do think that a lot of 307 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: Americans and this is where I spend a lot of 308 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 2: time being very frustrated still don't know basic facts about 309 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: what Joe Biden has done. 310 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: I mean, the Democrats weren't afraid of impeaching Trump twice 311 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 3: in you know, you know they went for it.

You're 349 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: not the next man up. Hillary should be the pick. 350 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: And so Joe Biden is sitting there at an advanced age. 351 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 2: He's looking at the political landscape. He expects Hillary to 352 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: beat Donald Trump and be president, be the nominee in 353 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 2: sixteen and in twenty and he doesn't think there's any math. 354 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: You know, he's sitting there, He's by twenty four ib 355 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: eighty two years old. There's no way I'm going to 356 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: be able to run. He thinks his career in politics 357 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: is over, and he is deciding, probably with Hunter in 358 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: his ear, yapping at him, now is the time to 359 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: set the Biden family to make all the money that 360 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: I've left on the sideline. Don't underestimate Buck. You know 361 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: this too. A lot of these politicians are constantly raising 362 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: money from one hundred millionaires and billionaires, and their salaries 363 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: are two hundred thousand dollars a year. And Joe Biden 364 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: wants that beach house, he wants the mansion. He wants 365 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 2: the lifestyle that he feels like he entitled to that 366 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: he's never been able to undertake in his forty plus 367 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: years as a government employee, and so I think he 368 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: got reckless, sloppy, never anticipated that he would ever have 369 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 2: to defend any of this on the political stage. 370 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 4: Ever. 371 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 3: Again, it wasn't a bad calculation at the time. Obviously 372 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 3: it was now. But you think about it, what did 373 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: Joe Biden in twenty fifteen think was going to be 374 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 3: the reality going forward? He must have assumed Hillary's gonna run. 375 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: Hillary is the is the Democrat choice, She'll win, and 376 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 3: she'll win for eight years. And so at that point, 377 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 3: I mean, Joe could have been doing whatever he wanted. 378 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 3: I mean, he could have gone on a speaking tour 379 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 3: with Putin and gotten away with it doesn't matter, ye 380 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 3: the whole or you know, Zelenski, whomever, it doesn't matter. 381 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 3: And instead the Trump phenomenon happened, and all of a sudden, 382 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: things that are sloppy become a problem for them. I 383 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 3: also think think this is where the Bidens were relying on, 384 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 3: and this worked to a degree that the media just 385 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 3: wouldn't have any interest in this. I mean, the people 386 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: who broke this story about Hunter Biden and Ukraine. Everything 387 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: was going on. You know, it's John Solomon, it's Sarah Carter, 388 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: it's not the Washington Post. It's not the New York Times. 389 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: And so when you look at this, you say to yourself, Oh, 390 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: it wasn't a cre. What is so sloppy that it's 391 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: hard to believe now? And I think this is the 392 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: key point. Clay didn't look like it was sloppy at 393 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 3: the time because of the baked in assumptions about what 394 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: the next eight years would be like, give or take. 395 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: And also the only reason this is a story today 396 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 2: is because Joe Biden re entered politics right if Joe 397 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: Biden's calculus in twenty fifteen, when his brain actually worked 398 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: that Hillary Clinton was gonna win in sixteen, that she 399 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 2: would run again in twenty, that the next time there 400 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: would be an open Democrat primary, he would be twenty 401 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: twenty four, when he was eighty two his political career, 402 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: He's doing math in his head. He's like, there's no 403 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: way I can run for president at eighty two in 404 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, That's what he would have been thinking. And 405 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 2: so I think he was so reckless, and I think 406 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: this was so sloppy because he never anticipated Trump would 407 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 2: win and that he would even run in twenty twenty 408 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: against Trump, or be the nominee This would not be 409 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: a story if Trump had won in twenty if Biden 410 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: never re enters politics, most people would have just not 411 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: cared about this, right, the hunters, sloppiness, everything else. It's 412 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 2: a side note. Maybe people in Delaware care, but we're 413 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: never talking about it on the radio. It's not a 414 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: national news story. Absolutely. 415 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 3: I think also with all this, it's worth just thinking 416 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: through what was really for sale here because it goes 417 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: even beyond just the Bidens. I mean, the Bidens are 418 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 3: all over this and they should be held to account. 419 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: They won't be unless we win the next election. I 420 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: just want everyone to be clear on that. Anyone who 421 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 3: thinks anything bad is coming for the Bidens while Joe 422 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 3: Biden as president is is unfortunately living in a fantasy land. 423 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: If you have a Republican who wins, and I think 424 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 3: more specifically in this context, that Donald Trump wins, things 425 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 3: might change a little bit. But in the meantime, what 426 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 3: was for sale? Why did the bidens get? Do we 427 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 3: know what? What's the total total number? I hear different ones. 428 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: I mean I've seen ten million plus I've seen closer 429 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 3: to twenty million in terms of all of the the 430 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 3: bag man stuff that that hunter was doing over all 431 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 3: the years. But okay, millions and millions of just. 432 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: Twenty million dollars, I think credibly, And that's the US 433 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: that's what we can actually track find. 434 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 3: That's right, Hyder was getting. That's right. 435 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: Think about what Hunter was getting. You know, if you 436 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: wanted truly to pay somebody illegally, I'm just giving this 437 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 2: is not I'm not your your your criminal lawyer here, 438 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: all right, but I'm just saying, you give all the 439 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: money in cash. 440 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: Right. 441 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: We know Hunter was spending money like crazy on hookers 442 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: and and and also drugs and all sorts of cash 443 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: based businesses. We're only able to track this dollars now 444 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: because it got wired to him if it were just cash. 445 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: And I bet he, I bet that Hunter was getting 446 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: duffel bags sometimes of cash, millions of dollars. 447 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 3: That you play track is a family show. But I 448 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 3: just want to throw out there a lot of ways 449 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: you could probably keep Hunter Biden happy that aren't trackable 450 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 3: via the you know, via wire transfer, if you get 451 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 3: my drift right, I mean a lot of ways we're 452 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 3: trying to buy off Hunter Biden. I'm just saying a 453 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 3: lot of stuff you could probably offer him that doesn't 454 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 3: show up in a bank account anyway. I don't know 455 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 3: if that's the case, but I could surmise given some 456 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: of the business interests that he was chasing down. But Clay, 457 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 3: here's the bigger point. The what was for sale, The 458 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: the obvious ploy here was that Hunter was taking in 459 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 3: millions of dollars from foreign adversaries of the United States, 460 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 3: certainly in the context of communist China and you know, 461 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 3: Ukraine is a you know, it's the danger is a 462 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: very corrupt situation, very dangerous situation for US because they're 463 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 3: using US and trying to leverage US visa via their 464 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: own internal corruption, and also against Russia as we know. Clay, 465 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 3: the whole point is that is that Papa Joe is 466 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 3: going to get on the phone with the Clinton administration. Right, 467 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 3: this is what the plan was. It makes sense from 468 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 3: the perspective of these businessmen. They were not stupid. I 469 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 3: get it. They're gonna get on the phone and they're 470 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 3: going to get decisions, policy decisions made, like get that 471 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 3: prosecutor fired. That guy's you know, creating problems for me, 472 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 3: Sign that deal, sign that treaty, whatever it is. 473 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 2: Most of life, especially in political life, is based on 474 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: what Buck access? Can you get access to decision makers? 475 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 2: And what is otherwise a super complicated, very busy world. 476 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: That's why so many of these former politicians what do 477 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 2: they do? They leave office, They don't go to other jobs. 478 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: Most of them go to K Street, Famous Street, where 479 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: the lobbyists are based in Washington, d C. They start 480 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: taking millions of dollars from people that they used to 481 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: work with as a representative and now suddenly they are lobbying, right, 482 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: and so you are basically in the relationship business. Joe Biden, 483 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: through Hunter, through other people can get you in the 484 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: room that matters. And that's why Buck, this Miranda Divine 485 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 2: story that's up at the New York Post is so 486 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 2: significant because what Joe was saying when he was getting 487 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: on the phone calls is basically, Hey, my son has 488 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 2: direct access to me if he needs If you need something, 489 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: Hunter can come straight to me. And so so much 490 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: of this I guarantee you was all under the radar. 491 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: They were trying to be trying to be discreet in 492 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 2: some way, but I think the motivation matters. And I 493 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 2: haven't heard a lot of Republicans out there. I haven't 494 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: heard a lot of media peace, people saying, Okay, why 495 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 2: would Joe Biden do this? Why would he be so sloppy? 496 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: He thought his political career was over and he was 497 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 2: trying to cash in at the very end of it. 498 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 3: This is why the Clintons were running a very similar scam, 499 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: but they were more slick about it insofar as they 500 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: created the plausible deniability of oh, we're running a foundation, 501 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: we're empowering women and fighting climate change. It was a 502 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: pass through for buying influence with the future Clinton presidency, 503 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 3: which is why they're all and especially the Clinton Global Initiative, 504 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 3: which was taking money from you know, the Saudis and wherever. 505 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 3: And that's why it all collapsed when she didn't win. 506 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: If it was a charity, Clay, well, you to stop 507 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: giving a charity, right, I mean, you think some of 508 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 3: the charities we work with on this show. You know, 509 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: no matter what happens, no matter who wins the election, 510 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: they're doing great work. Right. 511 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: The Towers is not going away no matter who wins 512 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: the election. 513 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 3: Totally. But you see, you go, wait a second, the 514 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 3: Clinton Global Initiative just collapse within twelve months of Hillary 515 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: not winning. It was a pass through, but a more sophisticated, 516 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 3: loyally passed through scheme for influence pedaling. The biens were 517 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 3: just like, eh, you know, bags of cash under the 518 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: table for Joe who cares. 519 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: And they did with their crackhead son as opposed to sophisticated, 520 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: actually intelligent people. 521 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 3: Yes, say what you will about Hillary, and I have 522 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: said a lot.

I really 554 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 3: I got fired up about this over the weekend. We're 555 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: gonna be diving into it here shortly. I don't think 556 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: clan and I have to remind you anymore that we 557 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 3: both love history because we talk about it a lot, 558 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: and we do. And over the weekend, I was taking 559 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 3: a break from writing my book which would be out 560 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: next summer, Clay's book, which would be out in a 561 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 3: couple of weeks, but I was reading some histories. I 562 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 3: like to because it helps relax my mind. But Kamala 563 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: Harris is traveling to Florida today to lie about the 564 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 3: history curriculum in this state and make it seem like 565 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: it is well racist, and it's just not true. And 566 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 3: she's making this a big point of contention. So I 567 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 3: didn't want to talk to you all about that in 568 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 3: the next hour, So we will get into some of it. 569 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 3: Thomas in NYC. First off, here Thomas, what's going on? 570 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, A couple of points. First, if it wasn't 571 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 4: for Huck to Biden leave in the laptop at the 572 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 4: repair shop and Joe Biden telling everybody how he fired 573 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 4: the Ukraine prosecutor, we would have never known about this. 574 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 4: Second point, nobody's brought this up. I believe it's my 575 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 4: opinion that the January twenty twenty Trump impeachment was a distraction, 576 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 4: a diversion for looking into this. If the FBI would 577 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 4: have done his job and more Republicans would ask questions 578 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty, not only would this hurt Joe 579 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 4: Biden would hurt the Democrats. Let's not forget Barack Obama's legacy, 580 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 4: his VP involved in this. 581 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Thomas Klay Klein, I were just talking 582 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 3: about this in the commercial break for a second here, 583 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 3: It's totally true that by going on offense here, right, Clay, 584 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 3: by going on offense on the issue of Barisma, Ukraine, 585 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 3: Hunter Trump, it shifted the whole narrative. It created all 586 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 3: of this cover so that then they can turn around 587 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 3: and be like, when we go, hold on a second, 588 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 3: it's all true and Hunter was doing this, they go, oh, 589 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 3: you mean the thing that Trump got in peached over 590 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 3: it was brilliant. 591 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 2: Whoever in the Democrat Party came up with It's brilliant 592 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: and it is so insidious that I can't believe that 593 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: it worked, Buck, because what they did think about this, 594 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: they probably some of the Democrat strategists probably said, ooh, 595 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: we got we got some issues here with what Hunter 596 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 2: and Joe have done associated with Ukraine. So instead of 597 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: focusing on them, what they decided to do was they 598 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 2: used Trump's call discussing them as evidence. This is their 599 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: claim that Trump was threatening to withhold money to Ukraine 600 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 2: unless they did an investigation into his chief political rival. 601 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 2: Now what's so amazing about this, buck is they said 602 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 2: that was impeachable. Then think about what they've done. They 603 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 2: are trying to put Joe Biden's chief political rival in prison. 604 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 2: Then said it was unacceptable for Trump to raise very 605 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: legitimate questions about Hunter and Joe Biden's behavior and getting 606 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: a prosecutor fired in Ukraine. They spun that as they're trying, 607 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: Trump is trying to get a foreign adversary to interfere 608 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 2: in our election and therefore he must be impeached over this. 609 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 2: And then as soon as he got into office, Joe 610 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 2: Biden's Department of Justice is trying to put Donald Trump 611 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 2: actually in prison. It is if once you look at it, 612 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 2: it is remarkable the degree to which they have gotten 613 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 2: away with infinitely worse behavior than they claim is unacceptable. 614 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 3: They weaponize the DOJ in the process of claiming that 615 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 3: the other side was weaponizing the DOJ. That is what 616 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 3: they've done with with this whole thing, which is neat and. 617 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: This is where I get so angry. This is where 618 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 2: I legitimately get angry. It's one thing for you and 619 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: I to say it, and this audience out there is like, 620 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, you know they're one hundred percent right, Yes, 621 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 2: of course we are. What's so frustrating to me is 622 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 2: and what I spend so much time thinking about I 623 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 2: really do is Okay, how do you break through? How 624 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 2: do you break through into the open field where sixty 625 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: or sixty five percent of people say, wait a minute, 626 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 2: this is this is really awful, right, Because it takes 627 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 2: sixty percent. You can win an election with fifty percent 628 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: plus one vote or too sixty you know, two hundred 629 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 2: and seventy electoral votes whatever, that's a narrow victory. You 630 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: need to just have a Reagan style swamping in order 631 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 2: for this to really get the wash out right, you 632 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 2: need a flood of people to become aware of what's 633 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: going on. 634 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 3: Elena in Austin, Texas, one of my favorite towns. What's 635 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 3: going on Lena? 636 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 6: Hey, guys, Well, i'd rather be talking SEC football. I'm 637 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 6: going to talk about why I think Congress would not 638 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 6: want to Congressman wouldn't want to teach Joe Biden. Tamala Harris. 639 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 6: The woman scares me to death as much as I think, 640 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 6: excuse me, Joe Biden is the worst president we've ever had. 641 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 6: I can't imagine what kind of damage this woman would 642 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 6: do in the time remaining she had. 643 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 3: And Elena, you know that the Senate would happen. The 644 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 3: Senate would have to remove and no one think that's 645 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: never gonna They're never removing. 646 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 2: Who's your team, Elena Alberta. 647 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 3: I was going to say it. I was going to 648 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 3: say role tie, just to show everybody how much I've learned. 649 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, Buck, it is interesting, but again, this 650 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: is just a political move to actually hold Joe Biden accountable. 651 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 2: There is a zero percent chance of the Senate doing 652 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 2: anything to remove him, even if the House voted to impeach. 653 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 3: Let's talking about Kamala's political move in Florida next
