1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: Making the American Farm Strong Again. Team forty seven with 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck starts now we're joined now by Bill O'Reilly. 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: In terms of icon you spent a lot of time 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: talking about celebrities and impact and the legacy of fame 6 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: and all of these I think just tremendously generational and 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: timeless analyzes. Where would you put Hulk Hogan on the 8 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: list of true American original celebrities in that context for 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: which you have spent much of your career writing about. 10 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: I interviewed Hogan back when he was probably the top 11 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: wage earner in the wrestling business, and I think he's 12 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: the most famous wrestler ever. I mean, you don't get 13 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: more iconic in that industry than that. But what is 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: historical importance is is that he destroyed that smear website 15 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: which was damaging Walker. 16 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: He took down and. 17 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 2: I admired that because that was the worst. I mean, 18 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: there are a lot of bad websites now, a lot 19 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: nothing like that, and he took them down single handedly. 20 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: It was all him, and that's what I will remember 21 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: him for as a journalist the wrestling industry. Okay, you know. 22 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: But what he did was he sent a message that 23 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: there is a limit to how much you can hurt 24 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: people using a website or a company, and that was 25 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: very important for this country. 26 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: You are writing about out right now evil in particular 27 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Confronting Evil, Assessing the. 28 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: Worst of the Worst. 29 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: That book is going to come out September ninth, very soon. Yesterday, 30 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: and we didn't talk about it a ton on the show, 31 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: but yesterday Brian Koberger was confronted by the family and 32 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: friends of the four young people that he murdered in 33 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: cold blood in Idaho. What did you think as you 34 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: watched that in terms of evil and the fact that 35 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: he just basically has declined to say anything about the 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: crimes that he is committing. That the plea that he 37 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: has entered into is going to save him from the 38 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: death penalty, but means I'll have to spend the rest 39 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: of his life in prison. 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: That is singular evil, individual evil, and it's fainous, but 41 00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: it's been in humankind forever. It is a planet, and 42 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: Neanderthals walked it. It has always been here. Singular evil. 43 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: What I write about in Confronting evil as collective evil, 44 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: where you have fifteen people that we spotlight inside the 45 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: book that achieved enormous power, and they did so in 46 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: a variety of ways. But everyone knew they were evil. 47 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't like a debate about it. And yet they 48 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 2: were able in their situations the Ayahtola and Iran Hitler 49 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: in Germany, Stalin and Putin in Russia. They were able 50 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: to get to a position where they killed millions and 51 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: millions of people untold suffering. That was my fascination. Now 52 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: I've covered a lot of stories of my fifty years 53 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: in journalism and a lot of heinous serial killers. I 54 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: chased Ted Bundy from coast to coast right he was 55 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: one of the worst ever. And my opinion on it 56 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: is very simple. These are psychotic people. There's psychopaths, and 57 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: they will commit as much damage as they can. They 58 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: are evil, and society is an obligation to punish them 59 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: as much as possible. But it's not at the level 60 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: of what I'm writing about in my upcoming book. 61 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: We're talking with Bill O'Reilly. 62 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: We open the show talking about the revelations from Tulsea 63 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: Gabbard surrounding the twenty sixteen election and what the intelligence 64 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: agencies knew and what they said publicly, What do you 65 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: think the significance of that story is and playing it forward, 66 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: what will the consequences be, if any legally in your 67 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: mind going forward from the revelations she just shared, Well. 68 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: Brennan has definite criminal potential. The former CIA chief under Obama, 69 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: the guy according to the House report. Remember this is 70 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 2: the House Intelligence Committee, two years after the Senate issure. 71 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: There's a lot of new information there, and it was 72 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: chaired by Schiff to the Democratic majority on this committee. 73 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 2: They concluded that at least three times that Brennan knew 74 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: the information that he was using to get warrants to 75 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: do other things to damage the Trump administration was false. 76 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: So if I'm Brennan right now, I'm coman for the 77 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: best lawyer I can find. That looks like a slam 78 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: dunk case. To me, that looks like prison time. To 79 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: make the others a little murky, I mean, I know 80 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: the right wing people are jumping up and down, going, oh, 81 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: they're going to indict Barack Obama. They're not. That would 82 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: be impossible. It's not going to happen. So if you 83 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: want to run around thinking that, fine, but it's not 84 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: in the real world. Call me that THEI Chief now there, 85 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: You'd have to have a testimony inside the Bureau. You'd 86 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: have to have someone inside the Bureau that worked and 87 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: had access to Comy said yeah, he knew the same 88 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: thing Brandon knew, and he cooperated with the fraud. That's 89 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 2: what you would need to nail Comy in front of 90 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: a federal grand jury. They may be able to get that. 91 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: The current Justice Department may be able to get that. 92 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: And so whenever these stories break, I always tell my 93 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: listeners and viewers that you have to live in the 94 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: real world. Supreme Court is rule clearly in Donald Trump's 95 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: case in the January sixth that he had the right 96 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: as president to say and do what he felt was necessary. 97 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: Barack Obama's going to fall right under that category unless 98 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: you have Michelle Obama saying, hey, you know, he knew 99 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: it was a fake. I don't think you're going to 100 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: get it, but you know who knows. 101 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: We're talking to Bill O'Reilly got a new book coming 102 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: out about Confronting Evil. September ninth, What would you tell 103 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: President Trump he should do about the Epstein revelations and 104 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: the ongoing story there if he asked you for advice 105 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: your advice would. 106 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: Be what well, they asked me this morning. Oh okay, 107 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: about four hours ago, I got a call up from 108 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: the President and I you know, I don't report word 109 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: for word, but I'll tell you generally my feeling about it. Okay. 110 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: So I don't think that President Trump should answer any 111 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: questions about Epstein. He should defer to the Justice Department. 112 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: I would not, as president, allow myself to be besieged 113 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: by this story. It is a legitimate story in the 114 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: sense that there are millions of Americans, not just liberal 115 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: people but conservative as well, who believe the fix is 116 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: in at the federal level, and if you're rich and powerful, 117 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: you're going to be protected, even if you're a criminal. 118 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: That is a common belief in America. That makes the 119 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: story valid. So what I would do would be have 120 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: one spokesperson designated by the Justice Department to deal with 121 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: this situation and to tell the American people, here's what 122 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: we are doing. If you read the Wall Street General 123 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: report yesterday, it said clearly that in the information compiled 124 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: by the federal government about Jeffrey Epstein, there are literally 125 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: hundreds of names in that information, hundreds guys that delivered 126 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: the bagels. You know all it else. Ye, So these 127 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: people screaming you got to put it all out. That 128 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: would be billions of dollars in lawsuits if the Justice 129 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: Department were to do that, billions Because if your name 130 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: is associated with Jeffrey Epstein's name in any capacity, you're 131 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: going to be harmed. There's not going to be contact 132 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: applied to it by anybody. And so your name pops 133 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: up alongside Jeffrey Epstein, whoever doesn't like you is going 134 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: to use that to hurt you. And so the Justice 135 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: Department cannot do that is impossible. And also in the 136 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: Journal article, and remember the Journal article, the Journal is 137 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: going after Trump. They want to hurt Trump, that newspaper, 138 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: which is going to be catastrophic for the Murdoch family 139 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: in Fox News down the road. Also in that article 140 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: is no one is currently under federal investigation in this case. 141 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: No one. Now, the Wall Street Journal is usually pretty 142 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: accurate in this report, Taj, I don't know about this 143 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: birthday card business. 144 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: Were you stunned by the way? 145 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about that, because to me, from 146 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: a news perspective, I think you first have to ask 147 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: yourself the question. 148 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 3: We're talking to Bill O'Reilly is this news? 149 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: And then secondarily you ask, okay, is it relevant news. 150 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't even get to the second question, because Trump 151 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: doing even if he did it a body birthday card 152 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: twenty some odd years ago for Jeffrey Epstein. 153 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 3: To me, isn't news. 154 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: Epstein wasn't a felon then, and so I don't think 155 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: it would surprise anybody that Trump might have a little 156 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: bit of a locker room sense of humor back for 157 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: much of his life. I mean, that's been well chronicled. 158 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of surprised that they chose even to 159 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: run that story. 160 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: Well, three things involved here. Number One, you're correct, it 161 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 2: is not a news story on its own. What the 162 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: press is trying to do is link Trump to Epstein 163 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 2: in doing bad things. That's what this is all about. 164 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: That's what the Trump That's why President Trump should stay 165 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: away from this one hundred percent. What the dishonest, corrupt, 166 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: corporate media in America is trying to do is convince 167 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: Americans that Donald Trump had access to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes 168 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: and may have participated. That's what the press wants Americans 169 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: to believe. So any linkage between Trump and Epstein is 170 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: going to be blown up. This is a very simple story. 171 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: A forensic can make a determination on whether that card 172 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: is in Trump's hand or not. Trump says he didn't 173 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: do it and files suit two days later. Two days 174 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: two days. I mean, come on, that looks like a 175 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: pretty aggressive action to me. And if the nannel is wrong, yes, 176 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: this is an important point. If a Wall Street Journal 177 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: published the story using a bogus birthday card, that's not real. 178 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 2: It was a fraud. The whole thing collapses, not only 179 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: to Wall Street Journal, Fox News, everything else done. That's 180 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: how big this story is. 181 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: Let me ask you the last question here. You mentioned 182 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: that you talked to President Trump earlier, not asking for 183 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: particulars of the conversation. How would you assess his overall 184 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: vibe and demeanor as you just talked to him today, 185 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: compared to so far in this term and also compared 186 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: to last term. How comfortable, how confident did you find 187 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: him to be? 188 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: He's tired, and he's tired because this kind of stuff 189 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: wears you down, and he believes that he's doing an 190 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 2: excellent job for the country. Last night, they had a 191 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: great deal with Japan announced by Trump administration. Fabulous. He 192 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: got not one second of coverage on the nightly newscast 193 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: of three of them, not a second. Epstein got ten minutes. 194 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: So Trump is furious, furious because this kind of stuff 195 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 2: weighs you down emotionally and mentally. Now he's the strongest 196 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: guy I know, I mean my gud. But his hand 197 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: is well enough because he has to shake hundreds of 198 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: hands a week. I do fizz bumps because I got 199 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: to take a lot of hands too. Everybody knows me 200 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: wherever I go, but I don't shake hands, and I 201 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 2: tell people, look, I can't have it swollen. Hey, well 202 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: Trump's hand is bothering them. It's it's painful. Okay. So 203 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: he's going over to Scotland, Hawaii, play some golf over there, 204 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: get some you know, cooler temperatures. And I was asking him, 205 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 2: I said, look, you know you're only a person because 206 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: I know him so long, and I said, you know, 207 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: you gotta be a little You got to carry yourself 208 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: here physically and everything. 209 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 4: You got it. 210 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: And that's why my advice, and I hope it takes it. 211 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: Don't acknowledge this Epstein thing at all. Let the Justice 212 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: Department handle it. And that's that. 213 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: Bill. 214 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: O'Reilly fantastic as always, the book coming out is Confronting Evil, 215 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: assessing the worst of the worst.

We look forward to talking to you again. 217 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: You can also check them out at Bill O'Reilly dot 218 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: com read his columns there. 219 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: Appreciate you, sir. 220 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: All right, Clay, one more thing, we just passed a 221 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: million subscribers on YouTube. 222 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: That's important three months. 223 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: And it's YouTube dot com slash Bill O'Reilly and it's 224 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: totally different than what we do on our television broadcast. 225 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: So I appreciate you having me on. Tell well, Buck, 226 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: I think he's faking it. Okay, I'm faking it all right, 227 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: But I'll be listening on Monday when you guys get 228 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: together again. 229 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 230 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: We now have been joined by Senator Ran Paul who 231 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: is with us, and Senator appreciate you joining us. I'll 232 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: just ask the big question right off the top. You 233 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: got Tulci Gabbard coming out with Russia Gate. You have 234 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: been documents that seem to show that the truth was 235 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: known and not shared with the American public as it 236 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: pertains to Russia's involvement in the twenty sixteen election. You 237 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: have been trying to hold doctor Anthony Fauci accountable for 238 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: a very long time over the lies that I think 239 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: we believe he told under oath relating to COVID and 240 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: American gain a function research and all these things. I 241 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: would say the number one question that Buck and I 242 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: get on a regular basis is we see all the evidence. 243 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: We believe that there is ample evidence there for charges 244 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: to be brought. Yet all of these people in positions 245 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: of power never have charges brought against him. They can 246 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: find anybody who walked into the Capitol on January sixth 247 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: and arrest them and throw the book at them. But 248 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: if you're super powerful and you're on the left side 249 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: of the political equation, nothing ever happens to you, will anything. 250 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: Are you as frustrated as our average listener would be 251 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: over this? 252 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 4: Yes, And you know I sense the frustration, and I 253 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 4: see some of the responses on our social media. What 254 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 4: are you going to do? When are you going to 255 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 4: arrest Bauci? People do have to realize I have no 256 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 4: ability to arrest anyone, but the Department of Justice does, 257 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 4: and I've done everything I can. I referred Fauci twice 258 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 4: under Biden, I presumed they would ignore it, but now 259 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: I referred him most recently just in the last week 260 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 4: to the Trump Department of Justice, and there needs to 261 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: be a hue and cry that he needs to be prosecuted. 262 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 4: I think he clearly lied to Congress. The other thing 263 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 4: is is it would bring up his pardon, and then 264 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: I think in court we need to have a test 265 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 4: case to see if a auto pen signature is a 266 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 4: valid pardon. I think there would be then in court 267 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 4: the discussion of who ran the auto pen, who gave 268 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 4: them the orders? You know, I think so far we 269 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 4: know the person running the auto pen says some guy 270 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: that worked for Joe Biden told him to do it, 271 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 4: and so ultimately you'd have to have the test You could, essentially, 272 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 4: I think, bring in the testimony of ultimately either the 273 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: the you know, the President's wife or the president. It'd 274 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 4: be hard to get them into court, but this would 275 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 4: be a test case of whether that parton holds. 276 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 5: Senator Paul always appreciate you being with us. I want 277 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 5: to ask you about the FED one. I know I 278 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 5: think you want to get more of a look into 279 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 5: the books at the FED, but can you also speak 280 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 5: to the what is it a two billion dollar renovation 281 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 5: that the Federal Reserves Washington, d C headquarters has gotten. 282 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 5: You know, I know in d C money has a 283 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 5: whole different meaning or lack of meaning depending, but two 284 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 5: billion dollars for renal, that's pretty pricey stuff. What's going on? 285 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 4: Well, you know, the Federal Reserve doesn't even have congressional 286 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 4: oversight as far as the power of the purse. They 287 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: just printed up. They've got their own printing press, and 288 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 4: they spend whatever they feel like spending. And so they 289 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 4: started out at one point nine billion, and they're six 290 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 4: hundred billion over they're so up to two point five billion, 291 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 4: they're six hundred thousand dollars worth, a thirty three percent 292 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: increase in over over the original estimate. But you know, 293 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 4: you want to talk about real money. The thing the 294 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 4: Federal Reserve is doing right now that offends me more 295 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 4: than anything else is they're paying big banks in New 296 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: York and around the world not to loan money. It's 297 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 4: a program that started in two thousand and nine. They 298 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 4: were paying banks I got a quarter of a point 299 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: or half a point not to loan money, and it 300 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 4: was it was money, but it wasn't huge amounts. Now 301 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 4: they're paying the four point four percent as of about 302 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 4: a week or two ago, and that one point four 303 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 4: percent equals one hundred and eighty eight billion dollars, and 304 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: forty percent of that money is going to foreign banks. 305 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 4: So it's not only the Federal Reserve, you know, holds 306 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 4: the American debt, So we have to raise taxes to 307 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 4: pay the Federal Reserve interest. They get our interest. Then 308 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 4: they're paying our interest back to big banks to tell 309 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 4: them not to loan money. It's the craziest scam you've 310 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: ever heard of, but it's real money now. And you know, 311 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 4: there's nothing that unites the right and the left. It's 312 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 4: when taxpayer money or government controlled money like this is 313 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 4: going from the regular middle class to the very wealthy elite, 314 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 4: not only of our country, but of the world. 315 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: We're talking to Center Rampaul of Kentucky. What did you 316 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: think of Andy Basheer's Vogue photoshoot? 317 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 4: You know, I think he's running for Secretary of Transportation. 318 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 4: I think he really wants to be the next beat 319 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 4: Boodhaj Edge, so I think he's got a great shot 320 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 4: at it. 321 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe I was looking at these photos and 322 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: I just thought to myself, who in Kentucky is thinking. 323 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 3: Hey, you know, I really want to see a. 324 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: Vogue photoshoot of the governor and I when I saw this, 325 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I bet because I remember you 326 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: came on with this last time, said he's going to 327 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: try to run for president. But I just look at 328 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: this guy. He's one of the worst governors out there. 329 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: To do that, to sign off on the Vogue photoshoot, 330 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it was real. 331 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 4: Well, here's the real question. Did Vogue actually ask him 332 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 4: about vetoing a bill that would have stopped sex change 333 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 4: surgeries for miners? So our Republican legislature put for him 334 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: a bill to no longer have miners not allow miners 335 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 4: to make a decision to have this permanent surgery, and 336 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 4: he vetoed it, so our Republican legislature and of him 337 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 4: promptly overrode him. But this guy is not part of 338 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 4: the mainstream. He's part of the extreme left, and he 339 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 4: got lucky somehow to win in our state. But there's 340 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 4: nothing about him that is moderate. He is as progressive 341 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 4: as the day is long. 342 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 5: Senator Paul something that's gotten a bit of attention today. 343 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 5: It has to do with the president's ability to get 344 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 5: his appointees in place, particularly on the judiciary side, and 345 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 5: when it comes to US attorneys, as the Trump administration 346 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 5: appointed Alena Habba, one of Trump's lawyers, to be the 347 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 5: US attorney in New Jersey. A US attorney in New Jersey, 348 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 5: judges there decided Democrat appointed judges no shock to anyone 349 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 5: that she was unacceptable and they just picked someone else. 350 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 5: Now that I understand is getting a bit specific into 351 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 5: what's going on in New Jersey. But how is it 352 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 5: going with Senate confirmation of various appointees and specifically for 353 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 5: judicial nominees, because that's such a critical thing to be 354 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 5: functioning efficiently. And I am hearing some complaints from people 355 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 5: who well work right near you on Capitol Hill about 356 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 5: Senate Leader thun and not getting this thing done with 357 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 5: the efficiency and you know, absolute sense of urgency that 358 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 5: it needs to be done. 359 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 4: You know. The good news is is that we've actually 360 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 4: approved twice as many as we had in twenty seventeen 361 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 4: when Trump won in twenty seventeen. By this time in 362 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 4: the summer of that first year, we had approved about 363 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 4: fifty five I think we're up over one hundred and ten. 364 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 4: So it's a slow, laborious process, and the Democrats are 365 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 4: worse than they've ever been in the sense that it 366 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: typically and historically, the leadership would sit down from each 367 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: party at the end of the week, they'd agree to 368 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 4: a list of ten or fifteen that pass them all 369 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 4: together in one group by voice vote. None of that 370 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: happens anymore. So we have like fifteen hundred Trump appointees 371 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 4: and we've got to vote on them one at a time. 372 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 4: Most of them we have to wait two hours we 373 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 4: vote to get onto the bill to vote for them, 374 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 4: and then two hours later to confirm them. So it's laborious. 375 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 4: But the good news is we've done twice as many 376 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 4: as we did in twenty seventeen. So I think given 377 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: the Democrats opposition and obstruction, I think we're doing pretty well. 378 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: What should happen with the Russia Gate. We've got Tulca 379 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: Gabbert having a press conference right now. You went through 380 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: all of this in the attempt to delegitimize Trump's election 381 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. I said on the air, I actually 382 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: think the twenty twenty actions that were done to try 383 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: to argue from the fifty one intelligence agents, the Hunter 384 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: Biden laptop, not releasing the fact that maybe we thought 385 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: back then, hey, we've got a successful vaccine. There were 386 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: a lot of things that could have been out publicly 387 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: that could have swung this election a big way. I 388 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: think twenty twenty was rigged substantially. But what should happen 389 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 1: associated with twenty sixteen in your mind, both practically and 390 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: if you had an ideal world, right, because there's the 391 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: reality of what can happen and what should happen, how 392 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: would you distinguish between those two? 393 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 4: You know, I always look at things in general terms. 394 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 4: I'm horrified by what they did to Donald Trump, and 395 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 4: it should make everyone mad. But I'm also concerned about average, 396 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 4: ordinary Americans and what they can do, and what this 397 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 4: power means could be done to average ordinary Americans. So 398 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 4: I'm partaking that power away. You know, some people want 399 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 4: Brennan in jail, they want Obama in jail. Those things 400 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 4: are unlikely to happen. But the one thing we could 401 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 4: do is the Congresses take power away from the intelligence agencies. 402 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 4: They should not have this much power. I have always 403 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 4: thought from the beginning. I've said it publicly. I believe 404 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 4: that Brennan called a foreign governments and used their intelligence 405 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 4: agencies to spy on the Trump campaign. You remember these 406 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: random meetings in the bar with different Trump campaign officials. 407 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 4: I don't believe they were random. I think they were planned, 408 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 4: and I think because it's illegal for our CIA to 409 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 4: investigate Americans, much less americans involved in politics, I think 410 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 4: they got our allies in on it, and I think 411 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 4: there is a bit a massive cover up from the 412 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: very beginning on this. I do think what she's pointing out, 413 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: what Telsea Glbert has said, is incredibly important. The assessment 414 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: by all of the intelligence agencies after twenty sixteen is 415 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 4: that the Russians, like they always do, tried to make 416 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: with our elections, but that it was ineffectual. It was tiny, 417 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 4: it was minute, It was some Facebook ads and did 418 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 4: not affect the outcome. That was the conclusion. But then 419 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 4: that conclusion was vetoed by Brennan and high ranking people 420 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 4: because they chose to create a narrative that the election 421 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: was stolen, that the election was illegitimate. Hillary Clinton said it, 422 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter said it, All the leading Democrats said that 423 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 4: Trump was an illegitimate president. And what they did is 424 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 4: They then ceded information throughout all of the government to 425 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 4: try to start this narrative that there was a Russian collusion. 426 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 4: One of the most bizarre parts of this is the 427 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton campaign pays for the Steele dossier that has 428 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: this so called incriminating information and if they give it 429 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 4: to our government, but then they also send Steel to Halifax, 430 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 4: Nova Scotia to meet John McCain and secretly give him 431 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 4: the file as well. He comes back to Washington, takes 432 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: the bate, is all hysterical, and then gives it back 433 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 4: to government. But that's where it started, so the government 434 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: commissioned Steel to go back. It starts with the Clinton campaign. 435 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: This Christopher Steele, a former spy, collects all this nonsense, 436 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 4: puts it in the folder, gives it to John McCain, 437 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 4: who breathlessly races back to Washington to help get the 438 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 4: thing started. But this was a big psy ops. This 439 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 4: was a big operation by intelligence community, and of course 440 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 4: it was illegal. And I'm proud of Telsea Gabbard for 441 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 4: getting to the bottom and I hope she continues to 442 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: overturn and expose this corruption. 443 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 5: Transparency is incredibly important on this, So Senator Paul, we 444 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 5: agree with you wholeheartedly on that. Do you think it 445 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 5: is feasible, not even likely, but feasible that anybody could 446 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 5: be put in handcuffs based on what they did with 447 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 5: Russia collusion. 448 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,959 Speaker 4: You know, they'll all tell a different tale, and you know, 449 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 4: changing an intelligence report, they'll say they got other information. 450 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 4: It's going to be hard, but anybody in jail on 451 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 4: on that. But the main thing I always look for 452 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 4: in this is trying to fix the system so it 453 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 4: doesn't happen again. So what we should conclude from this 454 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: is intelligence agencies have the power to destroy individuals, and 455 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 4: so there needs to be more checks and balances and 456 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: less ability of an intelligence agency to investigate Americans. This 457 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: goes along with the FISA database that they have, which 458 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 4: a lot of Americans are sucked up into the system. 459 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 4: It goes along with that Quiet Sky's program where they 460 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 4: were spying on Tulsa Gabbard when she was on planes. 461 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: There's so much abuse and nobody in Congress knows anything 462 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: about what the intelligence agencies do other than to the 463 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 4: Intelligence Committee in the Senate and the House, and they 464 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 4: silo off the information and they try to prevent any 465 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 4: other members from knowing exactly what they're doing. Their budgets 466 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 4: are secret. It's very like pulling teeth to get any 467 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 4: kind of look at any of their budgets. So, yeah, 468 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 4: there's too much power. And we went through this after 469 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 4: JEdgar Hoover, and he was using the hour of the 470 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 4: office to blackmail people. He was using the power of 471 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 4: the office to illegally aspire people. And there were big 472 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 4: reforms in the seventies. But since the nineteen seventies, the 473 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 4: reforms that weren't off and the intelligence agencies have grown 474 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 4: too strong again. What they did to Donald Trump should 475 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 4: be a call, a clarion call for US to reform 476 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 4: them and strip back their power. 477 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 5: Senter Ram Paul, appreciate you making time for us, Sir. 478 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 4: On the real ID, Clay, I got to tell you, 479 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 4: if you stand in the line to get the chip 480 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 4: put in, they can insert that chip in no time 481 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 4: at all, and there's no line. 482 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 3: I don't even know what that means. I feel like 483 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: this is a joke. 484 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: You're so dead painting it there that I was like, yeah. 485 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 4: It is, you get an either line, But no, it 486 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 4: took me three months to get the damn real ID, 487 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 4: and they kept refusing to give it to me because 488 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 4: some of my documents said Randall and not rand and 489 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 4: they weren't sure I was who I was presenting myself 490 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 4: to be. 491 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 3: I this drives me. 492 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: You go in and out of Nashville like I do, 493 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: because you live in Kentucky. But this drives me absolutely bonkers. 494 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: Appreciate the time. 495 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: Hate it. 496 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 4: I hate it. I hate it, and we fought it 497 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 4: for years and years of Kentucky. And finally they take 498 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 4: away your right to travel. Apparently the right to travel 499 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 4: is a privileged and you can only travel under the 500 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 4: government auspices. It's a step in the wrong direction. 501 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: Amen. 502 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 5: All right, Senator Paul, thank you so much. Play also 503 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 5: that dead pen when I had no idea that was 504 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 5: a job. 505 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 3: Well, he got me. He's such a serious guy. 506 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: Usually he really got me because I was getting ready 507 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: for you to read, and I was like an implant. 508 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: That was well played by Senator Paul.

Senator Sullivan of Alaska 513 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: is going to join us. Talk about the Big Beautiful 514 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: Bill Also, I would imagine Senator you are eager to 515 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: get back to Alaska so and start talking with everyone 516 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: there about the impact of the Big Beautiful Bill on 517 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: many different fronts, including energy. What's the difference between what 518 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: the Trump administration is allowing your state of Alaska to 519 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: do with all the natural resources there compared to what 520 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: the Biden administration was doing for your state. 521 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 6: What is the impact, Jeez, clay Buck, that is the 522 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 6: greatest question. 523 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 3: Great to be. 524 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 6: Back on your show, and that's the key question, and 525 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 6: it's a one hundred and ten percent difference. The Democrats 526 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 6: want to shut down Alaska. I want to shut down 527 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 6: American energy. President Trump and his team want to unleash 528 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 6: it and they're doing it everywhere. This Big Beautiful Bill 529 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 6: does it, especially with regard to Alaska. But look to 530 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 6: be more specific, during the four years of the Biden administration, 531 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 6: Alaskan's not this. We suffered through seventy that's seven zero 532 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 6: executive orders and executive action singularly focused, exclusively focused on 533 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 6: shutting down Alaska's resource development economy, and the President and 534 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 6: his team are one hundred and ten percent opposite. That's 535 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 6: great for America, great for Alaska and really great for 536 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 6: American workers. 537 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 5: Senator, I appreciate you being with us. What's going on 538 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 5: in the Senate right now. You guys still have some 539 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 5: time left here. You're about to go on recess. I 540 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 5: hear Schumer is up to Schumer shenanigans and blocking judges 541 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 5: and causing some problems for you guys. Bring us up 542 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 5: to speed with the business of the Senate as it 543 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 5: stands right now. 544 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, Buck, we had a really very productive first 545 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 6: six months with the President. I would say historic, and 546 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 6: you guys mentioned it. I'm getting ready to go home 547 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 6: and really really sell this one big, beautiful build. I 548 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 6: don't think there's any state that fared better than Alaska, 549 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 6: particularly to their earlier questions on the American energy components. 550 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 6: A huge part of this bill is unlocking American energy, 551 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 6: and most of the bill is unlocking Alaska. You know, 552 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 6: American energy dominance runs through my great states. So I'm 553 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 6: anxious to get home to make the pitch to so 554 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 6: many Alaskans where they have a much better understanding how 555 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 6: this helps working families, our economy, our military, our Coastguard. 556 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 6: Is a home run. But for your question, Schumer, you know, look, 557 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 6: the guy is so afraid of his left wing right. 558 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 6: Every day he wakes up scared to death that AOC 559 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 6: is going to primary him. So he is trying to 560 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 6: fight supposedly anything that we're trying to get done to 561 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 6: move forward with our government, certainly on legislation, but on nominees, 562 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 6: on basic you know, under secretary's assistant secretaries, people who 563 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 6: run our government, he blocks every way they can to 564 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 6: get their Senate confirmation. So we're going to start just 565 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 6: jamming down on these guys. We just had a meeting 566 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 6: of all our Senate Republican colleagues saying, hey, we need 567 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 6: to go morning, noon, and night to start getting the 568 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 6: president's nominees across the board. We've gotten zero cooperation from Schumer. 569 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 6: And usually you guys on the lower level nominees, if 570 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 6: it's an assistance secretary, you kind of put it in 571 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 6: a package to move something forward with several nominees. That's 572 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 6: very normal. We did it with Biden, they did it previously. 573 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 6: Schumer's not doing that. This is the most obstruction we've 574 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 6: seen from any Senate Minority leader on another administration's nominees, 575 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 6: literally since Herbert Hoover. The guy won't help us at all. 576 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 6: So we're gonna start jamming down on him. 577 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska. One of 578 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: the things that obviously is going to be a huge 579 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: topic of discussion next year is the House. And I 580 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: think we talked about this with you before, but the 581 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: rank choice voting in Alaska seems to me to be 582 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: a complete mess. 583 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: What is the latest on that. 584 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: Do you agree that it's a mess, and what are 585 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: Alaskans thinking after they were kind of I think bamboozled 586 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: into the idea in the first place. 587 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 6: Well, look, it's still on the ballot in Alaska, and 588 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 6: there's an outside group that put it on the ballot 589 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 6: a statewide initiative in twenty twenty The Republicans fought it. 590 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 2: I fought it. 591 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 6: We tried to get it removed in twenty twenty four. 592 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 6: By the way, both times it passed with less than 593 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 6: one percent of the vote, And were the groups against 594 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 6: it Republicans myself, we are outspent. It's unbelievable, I don't know, 595 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 6: twelve thirteen million by the outside group's four ranked choice 596 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 6: voting versus eighty thousand by the Republican Party. It's very confusing, 597 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,959 Speaker 6: and it can be really, really manipulated, and the Democrats, 598 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 6: in my view, particularly Schumer, who's already been you know, 599 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 6: I'm up for reelection this cycle as well. We have 600 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 6: a Congressman Nick Vegas's doing a great job, but we'll 601 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 6: have to run against that and look the best way. 602 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 6: Even with a system like that which we don't like. 603 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 6: I don't like, it's confusing, it can be manipulated. Alaskans 604 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 6: are still confused by it. Is to show what we're 605 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 6: getting done, and again, I want to come back to 606 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 6: this one big, beautiful bill for Alaska. This bill, across 607 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 6: every element of policy in our economy, is really really strong, 608 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 6: and what we're going to do is run on our record, 609 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 6: and I think for Alaska, this bill, particularly as it 610 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 6: relates to jobs in our economy and the working class, 611 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 6: is a home run. 612 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 5: One of the most important changes that Trump administration could 613 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 5: see through here from where things were under four years 614 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 5: of Biden. On the issue of energy, I mean, obviously 615 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 5: Alaska very important energy production state. Affects your economy, It 616 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 5: really affects America in the global economy too. 617 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 3: You guys have a lot of stuff up there. 618 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 5: What needs to happen or what are some of the 619 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 5: concrete things that Trump can do so that we take drill, 620 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 5: baby drill to the next level. 621 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, we've done it in this bill, and the 622 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 6: President did it literally day one. You guys might recall 623 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 6: one of the president's first executive orders about a couple 624 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 6: hours after he was inaugurated, was this executive Order on 625 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 6: Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential. I work directly with the 626 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 6: President and his team on this to unleash Alaska where 627 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 6: the only state in the country that has our own 628 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 6: executive order. So what that executive order did was it said, hey, 629 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 6: we're going to reverse pretty much all the seventy executive 630 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 6: orders that Biden issued to shut down a lab. So 631 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 6: that was good, but the Big Beautiful Bill is even 632 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 6: better because what we did is that we put a 633 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 6: lot of those reversals into law, and that's just obviously 634 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 6: much stronger in terms of what you know, God forbid, 635 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 6: we have a Democrat administration four years from now. I 636 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 6: certainly hope we don't, but if that administration tries to 637 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 6: come in and shut down Alaska, they're not going to 638 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 6: be able to do it because let me give you 639 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 6: a couple examples on the one Big Beautiful Bill, we 640 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 6: open the Anwar, the National Patrolum Reserve of Alaska, the 641 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 6: cook Inlet Region. These are all federal lands that have 642 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 6: huge resources, and we mandate in this bill regular lease 643 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 6: sales that Biden would never do, that Democrats would never 644 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 6: do in the law. So it says, hey, energy companies 645 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 6: can come up, they get regular lea sales on all 646 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 6: of these really really important federal land. As you guys mentioned, 647 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 6: Alaska has so much oil and gas, so many critical minerals. 648 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 6: And then really importantly, we got a permitting reform provision 649 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 6: in the One Big Beautiful Bill that will help expedite 650 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 6: the permitting of these projects. One of our greatest challenges 651 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 6: the Dems love to abuse it is, you know, having 652 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 6: a permitting system. It takes ten to fifteen to twenty 653 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 6: years to permit a resource development project. That kills our competitiveness. 654 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 6: It's really hard for long term investors to invest in 655 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 6: Alaska when they have these permitting issues. And we got 656 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 6: permitting reform done in this One Big Beautiful Bill as 657 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 6: well to expedite these projects, get them online quickly. That's 658 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 6: a part of the bill. It hasn't got a lot 659 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 6: of attention. Great for Alaska, Great for America. So if 660 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 6: you can get it in the law, which is what 661 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 6: we did on energy in this bill, it's even better 662 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 6: than the executive order that the President issued, which we 663 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 6: are really appreciative of. So it's the combo of both. 664 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 6: And he's got a great energy team, a bunch of 665 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 6: his cabinet. We're just up in Alaska recently. I hosted 666 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 6: them all over the state. It's going to be very 667 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 6: exciting times for Alaska and resource development. By the way, 668 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 6: we'd love to have you guys, Clay buck up up 669 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 6: to our state. We can do a program from Alaska. 670 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 6: I think I talked about that last time I was 671 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 6: on it. 672 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 5: I can we get as long as we get it, yeah, 673 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 5: I was as long as we can get Clay close 674 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 5: to some grizzly bears, He's going to be excited.
