You want some a one? No, that 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: doesn't count, all right. So so I saw a lot 50 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: of those comments very funny from many of you as well. 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: There speaking on Hunter Biden. Buck, I'm looking at a 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: lot of this time we were just talking about it 53 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: off air. Joe Biden, Joe Biden, who had never done 54 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: anything in business, who had been a politician for over 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: forty years, was Vice President of the United States until 56 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: late January of twenty seventeen. On his federal tax return 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, Buck he reported income of over eleven 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. Joe Biden a million dollars a month. This 59 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: dude was making because he was on his federal salary 60 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: in January, So between February and December of twenty seventeen, 61 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: he made over eleven million dollars according to his federal 62 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: tax return, and this is from the Daily Mail. Five 63 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: point two million of that they can't really figure out 64 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: where it came from. Of the overall, I think he 65 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: made sixteen million the next couple of years total. But 66 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: I look at that number, Buck, this is not a 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: guy who owned a business. This is not a guy 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: who is used to being able to produce income on 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: that level. And suddenly a spigot of cash came pouring in. 70 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Where did that money come from? I think there's a 71 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: legitimate investigation that should ensue because Buck, what I think 72 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: happened is I think when Donald Trump got elected, Joe 73 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Biden thought his political career was over and he just 74 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: turned to Hunter Biden and he said, let's get rich. 75 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: And Hunter Biden, drug addict, somehow turned on the money spigot. 76 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: Not paragon a Virtue or Judge Warren think we could say, yes, 77 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: he's not Warren Buffett. It's not like Hunter Biden said, Okay, okay, pops, 78 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: give me, you know, your five hundred thousand dollars in 79 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: life savings, and we can turn that into a massive 80 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: amount of money just based on my investing acumen. This 81 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: was shady. There is almost no way to justify it. 82 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: And this is just what's being reported in the tax 83 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: returns because we know that Hunter Biden is under investigation 84 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: for not paying his fair share of taxes. I know 85 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: that this is something that we say, and I always 86 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: want to come at this with fresh ideas and new analysis, 87 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: but sometimes you do have just sort of hammered the point. 88 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: You've made this before, Clay, I've had this before. If 89 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had a wayward crack addict son who was 90 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: dancing around in his tidy Whitey's impregnating random strippers, denying 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: paternity from them, doing shady business deals with Chinese businessmen 92 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: and Ukrainian oligarchs, Ukrainian Ukrainian corrupt energy companies, while his 93 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: dad is running US foreign policy in Ukraine. Report. Everyone 94 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: understands that Joe Biden was was Obama's point man in Ukraine. 95 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: That's why he fired Victor Chokin. The prosecutor bragged about 96 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: it at a meeting at the Council on In Relations. 97 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: Is Oliver, the media, he just should be constant meltdown mode. 98 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: We'd be saying that the president, you know, they'd be 99 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: saying that Trump presidency. They said it anyway, but what 100 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: was bought through these through these shady schemes, they'd be 101 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: saying that you can't trust anything this president does. He's 102 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: he's been paid off. And with Hunter Biden, what is 103 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: really the explanation just oh, it's not that interesting. It's 104 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: actually fascinating. I disagree with there, It's not interesting life. Yeah, 105 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: that was the claim. That was that the Atlantic writer 106 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: I think Apple from the Atlanta Yes, So here's the deal. 107 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: We talked yesterday with Miranda Divine, who is a great 108 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: guest about her book Laptop from Hell surrounding Hunter Biden, 109 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: and one of the questions I asked her was, have 110 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: you gotten any indication of what Evon Musk thinks of 111 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: your of your article at the New York Post about 112 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and the entanglements there being refused to be 113 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: shared and banned and censored effectively by Twitter. And that 114 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: was an interesting discussion because she said, no, I haven't specifically, 115 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing for her, but based on Elon Musk's 116 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: overall persona, it seems likely that he would have this 117 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: as as being an issue. Okay, so here's what he tweeted, 118 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for 119 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate. So this 120 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: is the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, directly commenting 121 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: on the decision that was made to not allow that 122 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: story to be shared to walk the New York Post 123 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: account in the weeks before Donald Trump and Joe Biden's 124 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: election officially went to the polls, and by the way, 125 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: while people were already voting and early voting all over 126 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: the country. That's a pretty significant statement from Elon Musk. 127 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: He also followed it up commenting on all of the 128 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: all of the different issues from the Twitter employee decisions 129 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: that they are that they're making, and for this the 130 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 1: Twitter employees have filed back. It turns out that two 131 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 1: people who were prominently involved in that decision to censor 132 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: the New York Post story are in fact women who cares. 133 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: But they've accused Elon Musk wait for it, of misogyny 134 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: for saying that their decision to block that story was 135 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: quote obviously incredibly inappropriate, and again he said, it's a 136 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: truthful story. I think we could repeat this because I 137 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: think it's a massive statement by Elon Musk about how 138 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: he would run Twitter. Suspending the Twitter account of a 139 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously 140 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: incredibly inappropriate. This is buck in turns of substantive statements 141 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: that could be delivered about the world that Elon Musk 142 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: would run at. Twitter has sent shockwaves all throughout the 143 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: mainstream media because they covered up this story. Elon Musk 144 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't have done it, and that might well, to your point, 145 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: have changed everything, because all it takes is one or 146 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: two brave people in media to actually shine the light 147 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: on a story like this, And it would have been 148 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: hard for Twitter. Given the popularity of Twitter, it would 149 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: been hard for the media to ignore this if it 150 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: was why widely allowed to be distributed. I mean, you 151 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: look at the politics of a place like Twitter, and 152 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: and you look at the donations. I know this has 153 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: been This has been shared pretty widely on social media 154 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: of Amazon, Uber, Twitter, Netflix. It looks like the voting 155 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: patterns that occur in some authoritarian state, you know, like 156 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: like the voting patterns of kazak Stan or North Korea. 157 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: Not that they vote there, but you get the idea 158 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: um or you know, Saddam's voted. There was voting in 159 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: Saddam's I rock back in the day, and guess what 160 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: it was like. Nine was really popular. It was he 161 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: really knew how to turn out those independent voters in 162 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: the state swing provinces. He really motivating. I mean, the 163 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: soccer moms in Bakuba were like, I'm I'm voting Saddam. Yeah, 164 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: of course we're kidding, Saddam. They were They were just 165 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: making up a number. Yes, sir, you are ninety eight 166 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: percent of the vote, um, and there's no one allowed 167 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: to run against you. So the other two percent is 168 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: people that just couldn't figure out, you know, where to 169 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: sign or whatever. But here we are seeing this, this 170 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: unraveling of the leftist mind about the Twitter situation. And 171 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: I gotta say, one of the reasons I think we're 172 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: so excited is that it's yes, it's great for the 173 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: country's great for free speech, but a lot of us 174 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: feel like we've had to be and when you're when 175 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: you're really engaging and you're in the middle of it, 176 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: even on social media. As much as it's not real life, 177 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,119 Speaker 1: it is part of your job. If you're in media. 178 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: We've all been having to fight. We've been in a 179 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: boxing match on Twitter with an arm tied behind our 180 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: backs the whole time, and all of a sudden everyone's 181 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: kind of feeling like, oh man, the other kind of 182 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: loosening up the shoulder, getting ready to be able to 183 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: throw some haymakers with the right hand. Because for me, 184 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: the pandemic was the sing that was the single biggest failure. 185 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, mate, you could argue that the hunter 186 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: bind laptop might have changed the trajectory of the election. 187 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: That's that's true. You can't prove that one way or 188 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: the other. But I think it. I think it very 189 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: well would have or might have, I should say, but 190 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: on the pandemic, I mean, Clay, we weren't allowed to 191 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: even share data that contradicted the official narrative. We weren't 192 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: allowed to say, Hold on a second, what about the 193 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: failures of this or that mandate or policy and the 194 00:11:53,640 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: the weaponization of this term disinformation. Disinformation just became the 195 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: official word for disapproved of by the regime, by the 196 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: people in power. The apparatus says you cannot say something. 197 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: Therefore it is disinformation. That became something You were hearing 198 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: this talked about on CNN. Barack Obama just headlined a 199 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: disinformation conference as if this is the biggest threat facing democracy, 200 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: the people who are the threat to democracy, and this 201 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: is what the whole Twitter situation shows are the ones 202 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: who use the term disinformation and think that they're the 203 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: good guys. They're the ones who are actually threatening the republic. 204 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: They're the ones who actually destroy political debate, discussion, and freedom. 205 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: There's a big topic now of the right and wrong 206 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: side of history. And I've argued for a long time 207 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: history major here. I know you're a history nerd. To 208 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: buck you typically don't know the right and wrong side 209 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: of history for sometimes hundreds of years. Here's an easy lesson, though. 210 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: The people who are in favor of censorship are almost 211 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: always on the wrong side of history. And that's a 212 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: democratic party right now. They are terrified of emon Musk 213 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: allowing a true marketplace of ideas on Twitter and not 214 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: putting a rig system out there. They can't handle it. 215 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: They're terrified of it. Tonne of the Towers does a 216 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: heck of a lot of remarkable things. One of them 217 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: is providing families of our fallen first responders in military 218 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: with mortgage free homes. Tone of the Towers Foundation is 219 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: delivering on its promise to do good and never forget 220 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: the sacrifices America's greatest heroes have made for us.

That's t the number two 236 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: t dot org does the press that still maintain that 237 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: he never spoke with his son about business dealings, and 238 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: given this reporting on Eric Schwerin, it's also say that 239 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: he has never spoken to his son's business partners about 240 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: his son's business dealings. He maintains his same statements that 241 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: he's made in the past. I would say, no, you're 242 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: referring to WAVES records that were released more than ten 243 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: years ago. I really don't have more detail or information 244 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: on them. I'd note that there was a one WAVES 245 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: records were not released, but I don't have more information 246 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: about visits from more than ten years ago. I don't 247 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: have information about business from ten years ago. Welcome back 248 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: to Clay and Buck Well, We're gonna try to track 249 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: down that information for you. We're curious to know what 250 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: exactly was going on here because you've got millions and 251 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: millions of dollars flowing into Joe Biden's LLCs and into 252 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: Jill Biden's various businesses, Doctor Jill Biden. Clay Clay is, 253 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just fired up about this, Buck, because 254 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: I assume that a lot of listeners out there are 255 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: thinking through this too. It's really hard to make eleven 256 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: million dollars in a year when you don't have anything 257 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: other than your own labor to sell, right. It's not 258 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: as if Joe Biden is Taylor Swift or a NBA 259 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: or NHL or NFL player where he's making millions of 260 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: dollars in income off of his direct labor. So when 261 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: I see, especially because he worked till the end of January, 262 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: when I see that he reported over eleven million dollars 263 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: in income in twenty seventeen buck a million dollars a month, 264 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: that's really really hard to do in an ethical and 265 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: legal way. And it has also point out that the 266 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: Clintons had they masterminded this whole program of creating a 267 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: charity that was really a pass through for access payments 268 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: to the Clintons, right, That's why they had the Clinton 269 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: Global Initiative. If anyone wants to disagree with that characterization, 270 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: that have to explain why when Hillary loses in twenty sixteen, 271 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: they have to shut down the Clinton Global Initiative basically 272 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: right away all of a sudden, Saudi Arabia wasn't so 273 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: interested in writing checks to quote charity, but also all 274 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: their private jet travel for the Clintons paid out of 275 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: the foundation. I mean, this is this is come a 276 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: much more common thing across the board, people using and 277 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: abusing foundations that are ostensibly for a good purpose for 278 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: private need to cover their expenses, their travel, et cetera. 279 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: But the Clinton's play a hundred million dollars jowin. Hillary 280 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: Clinton somehow made one hundred million dollars giving speeches and 281 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: having books ghosts written for them. No one, no one's 282 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: even buying these books. So they really set the standard. 283 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: And I think Joe Biden felt like, hey, man, Biden 284 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: family business, time to turn on the spigots, and he 285 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: let a Hunter Biden be the point. Man. I mean, 286 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: think about this guy's judgment. Everybody think of it. I 287 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't trust Hunter Biden with five dollars to go buy 288 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: me a latte, Well, I said last week. I think 289 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. If I owned a gas station. There's a 290 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: zero percent chance that I would hire Joe Biden to 291 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: run it. And if I owned a gas station and 292 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: a Hunter Biden wanted to be an employee, I'd expect 293 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: that he would steal from me. Coming up, folks, Marjorie 294 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: Taylor Green from Congress, gonna tell us what it's like 295 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: to be on trial to try to take away your 296 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: right to run for office when you're already a member 297 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: of Congress.

Welcome back in Clay Travis 315 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: buck Sexton show rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program. 316 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: We are joined now by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green from 317 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: the great State of Georgia, and I saw you over 318 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: the weekend and I wanted to ask you. I asked 319 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: you the same thing I'm going to ask you on 320 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: the show here. How about Independence Day? I know you 321 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: had the kangaroo court questioning that was going on, But 322 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: did you ever think you were going to get grilled 323 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: about the movie Independence Day and that they would play 324 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: a clip from that movie as part of an attempt 325 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: to disqualify you from being able to serve in Congress. Well, 326 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: let's just say notes the entire question you just asked 327 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: his Number one, that was my first time ever even 328 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: having to go in court, like actually being in court. 329 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I've never been in court before. And then to be 330 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: on the witness stand, questioned and challenged over something that 331 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: I never did, never have been charged with. No one 332 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: has been charged or convicted with it. And the January sixth, 333 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: committing here in Washington has never even asked me one 334 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: question or sent me a letter. That was shocking. But 335 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: Number three, I can't even tell you. When he was 336 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: asking me about the movie Independence Day and trying to 337 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: say that's where I got my inspiration for this horrible lie. 338 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: He was telling about me. I kid you not. I 339 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: was so shocked. I was like, this guy is such 340 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: a clown and he's making a mockery of this court, 341 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: but he's also making a complete fool of himself. And 342 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't even remember the movie. I've seen it years ago. 343 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: I don't even know when it came out, but it 344 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: was it was insane. It was so laughable and pathetic. 345 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: It was just too much. Congresswoman, I believe they made 346 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: a sequel. I'm just gonna tell you not worth seeing 347 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: for what I understand. I didn't even say Aliens came back, 348 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, he came back again. I think there was 349 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: Independence Day too. I think that, oh you might be right. 350 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: I think I don't just trying to save her some time, 351 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: but Congress someone, can you tell everybody? And thanks for 352 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: being with us, of course? Can you tell everybody? Like 353 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: what happened here? Because we talked about this, we mentioned 354 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: this in the show last week, it kind of bubbled 355 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: up in the news cycle. All of a sudden, You're 356 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: on the stand being asked questions because someone has sued 357 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: to prevent you from being able to run for reelection 358 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: because of the insurrection, Like, how did this even happen, like, 359 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: can you tell us what this was all about? Yeah, 360 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: that's that is the question everyone's asking. There's a lot 361 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: of confusion about it. So there what everyone needs to 362 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: understand is there is a five oh one C three. 363 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: It's an organization that that is funded and they're called 364 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: Free Speech for People. Free Speech for People, which is 365 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: the most u hypocritical name because they're literally trying to 366 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: silence my free speech and my dissearch, free street, free 367 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: speech by ripping my name off the ballot and taking 368 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: away my district's ability to even cast a vote for me. 369 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: They're destroying free speech, and they're destroying democracy, and they 370 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: are meddling in our elections. These guys are from New 371 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: York in Massachusetts, they're not even from Georgia. But what 372 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: they're doing is they're using a plan that Mark Elias, 373 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, Hillary Clinton's nasty election attorney that concocted the 374 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: whole Russian collusion idea. They're taking his plan and they 375 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: are implementing it against multiple Republican members of Congress and 376 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: state legislators. They're not we're not the only ones, but 377 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: in my case, because of our state laws, it has 378 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: gone way too far and So what they do free 379 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: speech for people is they go and they go and 380 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: find voters. Well, let me tell you how they got. 381 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: We have ever seven hundred thousand people in my district. 382 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: These guys managed to drum up five five voters that 383 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: they could talk into doing this lawsuit. One of the 384 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: five happens to be a Democrat district chair of my district. 385 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 1: So you can imagine how they got five voters in 386 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: my district. They called her and said, you know, find 387 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: some friends. Well she found four. Congratulations to them, and 388 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: they filed this challenge. Well, the group has also done 389 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: this to Madison Cawthorne, Andy Biggs, Paul Gossar, Tom Tiffany, 390 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: Congressman Fitzgerald. There's a whole line of Republicans the same 391 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: group as targeting. So this whole thing is is political. 392 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: It is a complete scam. It's funded, it is literally 393 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: funded by dark money groups, other five O one C 394 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: threes and other foundations, and they are they're truly meddling 395 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: in our elections. Well that because of the laws in Georgia. 396 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: When and it's a candidacy qualifications challenge. Typically that would 397 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: be a challenge like where do you live? Do you 398 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: live in the state or how old are you? Are 399 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: you old enough to run for office? But they're twisting 400 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: of Fourteenth Amendment, Section three of the fourteenth Amendment, and 401 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: they're applying what should be only talked about in Congress 402 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: because that's how it's written. Instead, they're trying to put 403 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: it on the state level, which is absolutely wrong, and 404 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: they're trying to say that they're claiming that I engaged 405 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: in an insurrection, which I did not. It's provable, and 406 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: they're saying because of that, I don't qualify to run 407 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: for Congress, which is an absolute lie about me. It's slander. 408 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: It's very wrong, and these guys should lose their license 409 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: to practice law. Congress Owen, I was fascinated by the 410 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: procedural posture here, and this is me putting my lawyer 411 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: head on because I'm a lawyer as well for people 412 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: out there who might be confused by this entire process. 413 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: They are using a part of law that was implemented 414 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 1: to apply against former Confederate soldiers and representatives in the 415 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: government of the Confederacy to try to keep you from 416 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: being eligible to run. It hasn't been applied in over 417 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: a hundred years. Clearly was not drafted with this in mind. 418 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: But for people out there to be thinking about this, 419 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: we're talking about something that was designed in the eighteen 420 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: sixties to be applied to conformer Confederate soldiers and officials 421 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: in the wake of the Civil War. That's what they're 422 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: trying to use to get you out off the ballot. 423 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: So what happens now? So I believe I'm correct that 424 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: the primary day in Georgia is around May twenty fourth, 425 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, How does this play out? What's 426 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: the timeframe? What are your legal advisors telling you is 427 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: going to happen. Well, everybody across the board, I mean 428 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle, attorneys everywhere are saying that 429 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: they're going to fail, that this is a complete farce. 430 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: And just as you described a good job, you describe 431 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: that very well. This is a Civil War era amendment 432 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: and that's what it was meant for, not at all 433 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: for going after members of Congress who object We objected, 434 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: and we're allowed to do that legally and lawfully, just 435 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: like the Democrat objected to the past three Republican elected presidents. 436 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: We did nothing wrong. And the other thing to point 437 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: out is I was a victim of that riot because 438 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: I was in the House chamber when it happened and 439 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: was shocked, scared and tweeted out a video telling people 440 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: to stop. You know. So it's it's it's the whole 441 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: thing is just unbelievable. What's going to happen next? Is 442 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: um you know, I was on the witness stand for 443 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: I think it was almost four hours, uh, you know, 444 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: And they went through all their questioning and they presented 445 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: their their CNN articles and the Independence Day movie and 446 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: Mother Jones chopped up videos as their evidence. The judge 447 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: and then you know, my attorneys, thankfully they're so great. 448 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: They did such a good job by trying to actually 449 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: talk about the law and talk about, you know, my 450 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: defense and how this is so wrong. The judge will 451 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: write up his ruling. Both attorneys hadn't have until tomorrow 452 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday to present their briefs, and the judge will 453 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: write up his ruling send it to our Georgia Secretary 454 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: of State, who is Brad Rathfinsburger, And then brad Rathfinsburger 455 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: is the one who actually makes the decision based on 456 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: the findings of the Administrative Law Court. Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green, everybody, Oh, 457 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: one more question for you. Did they really ask you 458 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: if seventeen seventy six was a violent like like like 459 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: a call to violence, like just mentioning seventeen? Said, what 460 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: was that all about? That is what they were accusing 461 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: me of. And then, which was honestly just outrageous. Is 462 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: so outrageous on our state seal, which hung on the 463 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: wall behind the judge, literally in the center of the 464 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: courtroom for everyone to see, is seventeen seventy six is 465 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: on our state seal, the Georgia State Seal. So by 466 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: their accusations and their description of anyone talking about seventeen 467 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: seventy six, they were basically saying that that entire courtroom 468 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: was waging an insurrection by in the state of Georgia. 469 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: By having seventeen seventy six on the seal, they were 470 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: saying that anytime anyone talks about seventeen seventy six, it's 471 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: a call for an war or insurrection or violence, which 472 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: is actually completely opposite of what I talk about when 473 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: I talk about seventeen seventy six. And people in my district, 474 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: people all over America remember seventeen seventy six. As we 475 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: talk about our freedoms and how thankful we are and 476 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: the courage that our founding fathers had with writing the 477 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, and that is what we're referring to, 478 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: and we don't the whole reason we talk about seventeen 479 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: seventy six is because we never want war again, and 480 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: we don't want a civil war. We don't want war, 481 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: and that was that's why we were so focused on 482 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: doing a legal and lawful objection in Congress as members 483 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: of Congress. We don't want the things that happened on 484 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: January sixth. We don't want anything like that. Congresswoman Marjorie 485 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: Taylor Green. We appreciate the time. I hope that they 486 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: don't determine that you are a Confederate soldier based on 487 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: the precedent that they are attempting to apply there. Thanks 488 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: for hanging out with us. Well, if that's the case, 489 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: I'd say I look pretty good for a Confederate. I'd 490 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: have to agree you'd be a one hundred and eighty 491 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: years old.

Just to make sure 514 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: we're all caught up here. Independence Day Resurgence Clay was 515 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: the name of Independence Day two, which did come out 516 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. It has a just came out in 517 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twenty almost twenty years after the original. It 518 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: has a thirty percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so I'm 519 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: sure it is quite stinky. It's one of those movies 520 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: where you say, there's no way this one is going 521 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: to be good. It is Will Smith and this one too. 522 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: No Will Smith is not in this one. You had 523 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: uh oh gosh, I'd have to go back and check exactly. 524 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: I think I don't remember, like to be fair Buck, 525 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: and you'll learn this one day. There's a window where 526 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: you only see kids movies, and so any movie that's 527 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: made for adults, basically, it's like it didn't even exist 528 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: in your world because you're such a frenzy of having 529 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: young kids. You know, every animated film like I can talk, 530 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: I can break down any animated film from like the 531 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: last fifteen years, basically, but there are lots of adult 532 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: movies that I missed, and so Independence Day two is 533 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: one of those. I suppose what is what is if 534 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: you had to, if you had to pick one cartoon 535 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: movie that you have seen with your children as the 536 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: best cartoon movie you've ever seen. That is a pressure. 537 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: Up is really really good by Pixar. Never saw that 538 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 1: Up is pretty you saw that? No, didn't see that one. 539 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: So oh yeah, if UP is really really good a 540 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: good one. Um, there are a lot of the Pixar 541 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: run that they got on for a while. Uh, The 542 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: Incredibles was pretty fantastic. The Incredibles two was good. I 543 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: don't remember if there's an Incredibles three yet, but Up, 544 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: the Incredibles, those are really really well done movies. So 545 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: we haven't yet talked about the Biden movie here on 546 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: student Debt, which I think is something we might spend 547 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: a little more time on this one tomorrow. But to 548 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: me it is remarkable to what I was saying to 549 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: before Clay about are they really just going to double 550 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: down on all the things they're doing that are causing 551 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: the problems in the first place. I think in many 552 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: they won't do that. On crime, They're not gonna double 553 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: down on the craziest progressive policies. They're gonna head fake, 554 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna move a little bit away from because that's 555 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: just that's too politically catastrophic for them. They're gonna try 556 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: to hide the truth at the border. They're just gonna 557 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: try propaganda about the economy. And I think there's also 558 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: just a willingness to try to buy off voters with 559 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: dollars from the federal government. And in this case, I 560 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: didn't realize it's up to one point seven trillion dollars 561 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: of student loan debt right now that is outstanding, and 562 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: this would affect forty million people. They say, if he 563 00:33:55,360 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: decides to go all out and just wave, I mean, 564 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: first of all, how could he even do this? Really, 565 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's constitutional. Explain to give me more 566 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: on that. So and look, I did the research for 567 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green because I was like, I gotta know 568 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: what the procedures they're applying here. So let me say 569 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: off the top, I'm not claiming to be an expert 570 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: in the law that surrounds student debt, but in general, 571 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: I don't believe given the amount of money is at stake, 572 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: we're talking about one point seven trillion dollars that through 573 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: an executive action, Joe Biden could do this without congressional approval. 574 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: So what he's talking about doing is taking all of 575 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: the federal student loan dollars. And he's not. They say 576 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 1: cancel it. It's not canceling it. It's taking the obligation 577 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: off of the people who made the obligation, right, who 578 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: took out the debt to go to school, and putting 579 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: it on all taxpayers. So you and me, who may 580 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: well have paid off our student loans and I did. 581 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: I paid off my student loans for going to law school. 582 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: We don't get any benefit from this, but we take 583 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: all the obligation. So it violates I believe, the law 584 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: in general on the first place, because the obligated party 585 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: here is being is taken off. And by the way, 586 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: the obligated party might also have an obligation to pay 587 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: taxes on this because it would count potentially as an 588 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: income benefit for them, which is a complexity here. But 589 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: on top of that, the Congress has to act in 590 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,479 Speaker 1: order to take this one point six or one point 591 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars because the money was spent, the schools 592 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: were the beneficiaries. I don't believe that he can do 593 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 1: that by executive act. If you look at the amount 594 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: of money that it costs to go to a four 595 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: year state college now versus what it costs let's say, 596 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: thirty years ago, these universities, the school system has just 597 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: been gorging itself at the trough of federal dollars provided 598 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: to all these kids to go. This has become this 599 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: enormous system. And if we're gonna even have a discussion 600 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: about debt forgiveness, which right now you want to talk 601 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: about inflation and ways to not help, this would not help. 602 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: But the notion that you're not gonna dramatically overhaul the 603 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,919 Speaker 1: university system in this country strikes me. It's just it's 604 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: just reckless. But I think they're okay with recklessness. That also, 605 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: say Clay, if they're gonna wave one point seven trillion dollars, 606 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: the entire national debt at the end of the year 607 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: two thousand was five trillion dollars, we're just gonna be like, 608 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: oh yeah, one point seven trillion that's owed back to 609 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: the federal government, No big deal. Crazy, it's a crazy proposition. 610 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: Here's the one also response, I don't think it's constitutional. 611 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: But if he tries it, you challenge it constitutionally. I 612 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: think you also demand repayment from all these schools, because 613 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: effectively we're just giving them a one point seven trillion 614 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: dollars subsidy which was never voted on. I think it's crazy. 615 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: I think what Biden's trying to do is get this 616 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: through to get the votes, even though he knows it's 617 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: not constitutional. That would be my best political analysis, mixed 618 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: with the legal set up. Next YEP pleat Travis and 619 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
