1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome into the Tuesday edition of The 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We obviously have huge 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: news to break down with you today. You all know 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: about the raid on President Trump's Moral Lago residence, the 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: home of the former president, and Clay and I are 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: going to dive into this because this isn't just a 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: turning point I think for the midterm elections. This is 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: a real moment, a gut check moment for the country 10 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: about what will happen. Here's what's our future. I'll just 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: say this. I was on the on the couch yesterday 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: after a pretty long day and I'm in my I 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: was honestly in my pajamas because I'm one of these 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: I like to change when I get home into pajamas. 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm a pajamas guy. And I'm sitting there and I 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: get a text message from a former White House employee 17 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration as soon as this thing breaks 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: and he I just remember looking at my phone. I 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: was like, wait, what you know. It was just a 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: moment of just belief. As soon as he gives me 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: a quick update that this is real. This is this 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: is happening, that the FBI. Dozens of FBI agents are 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: at the marl Ago home of former President Trump. I 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: call Clay. I'm trying to get through to Clay, just 25 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: because I know that this is gonna be. We're putting 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: out the bat signal. This is gonna be. Clay, is 27 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: where you were at at football? Was picking up? Yeah? 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: I was picking up my son at football practice. So 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: usually you know, I'm plugged in and you know, got 30 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: my phone and really on top of everything with it. 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Football practice has started for my middle schooler, and so 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: I was making sure I picked him up and finding 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: out how practice went and everything else. And I saw 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I looked down, I saw I missed a call from you, 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: and then I got the text message and my phone 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: starting to blow up. Like a lot of people out there. 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: It was like a havelet people reacting. Everyone. Yeah, and 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: then Fox Fox asked me, you know, how quickly can 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: you get in here? And I told them five minutes. 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: The scooter has its advantages. Clay was on to change 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: out of the pjas, get into a real, real normal 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: grown man working clothes, and hop on the scooter and 43 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: head right down to Fox studios. Indeed, Jesse's I was 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: on Jesse water Show last night as the news is breaking. 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Clay was on Sean Hannity Show last night to break 46 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: down what's going on. So let's let's just start with 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: the This is completely outrageous. This is a crossing of 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: the rubicon. This is a bright red line that they 49 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: have gone beyond here. And it seems to me that 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: it sets this up where there are really only two options, 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: and Clayton I Am going to break there. There's the 52 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: politics of this, the legality of this, the national security 53 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: discussion about the documents. Here's what they're saying. The aim 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: right now is that the DOJ was on an urgent 55 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: basis needed to get into moral lago because of records 56 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: that the National Archives says are classified and are in 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: Trump's possession. Now this stretches back into February. They already 58 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: they already went through a whole bunch of this, and 59 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: there were some documents, some back and forth on what 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: is effectively a presidential keepsake, a handwritten note from a 61 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: meeting with a world leader, let's say, and what is 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: truly classified or truly needs to be a part of 63 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: public record. But they're saying this about documents and perhaps 64 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: classified documents. Now the class that's what the basis for 65 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: this is. They are asserting right now that it is 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: not related specifically to January sixth, which was a surprise 67 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: when we were hearing that. I'm not sure I believe that, 68 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: but that is what the claims being made in regime 69 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Biden regime media. All right, Clay, seems to me there 70 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: are two possibilities here. One, this was a thuggish style 71 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: Stazi raid. They do not actually have the goods, and 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: we're just going to see in a matter of days 73 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: or weeks them say, well, fine, whatever, we hate Trump 74 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter that we did this to him, 75 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: or they've put themselves in a place where they do 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: have something substantial enough that they will have to bring 77 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: a criminal charge against a former president of the United 78 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: States who may well run again and could well win again. 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: What say you? I was stunned when our conversation started 80 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: last night because to me, when you get a warrant 81 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: and there, look, I understand, I'm gonna go ahead and 82 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: put out the phone line because if you are a lawyer, 83 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: if you are a former judge, we want people with 84 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: legal backgrounds, and obviously this is where I can put 85 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: my lawyer hat on and be somewhat helpful. I'm not 86 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: claiming to be an expert in presidential document of policies 87 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: or in the criminal law at all. I have represented 88 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: people in criminal related endeavors before charges and whatnot, certainly 89 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: never on a presidential level. Phone number one eight hundred 90 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: two eight two two eight eight two, So Buck, I 91 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: always go back to the procedure when a story like 92 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: this happens. We got on the phone, and I told 93 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: you that my two first thoughts were who signed the warrant? 94 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: That was my first question, like who signed the warrant? 95 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: And what are they attempting to uncover based on that warrant? 96 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: And let me just kind of give everybody out there 97 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: an idea, because I do think there have not been 98 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: that many explanations about what would have to go on here. 99 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: A search warrant requires probable cause and it has to 100 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: be reasonable in particular in nature. So whoever at the 101 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: FBI filled out this search warrant is saying, we are 102 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: looking for these specific things, and we believe that they 103 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: are located at this particular location, and we believe we 104 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: have to get them essentially now and Christopher Ray, who 105 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: is the FBI Director, and Attorney General Merrick Garland, given 106 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: the sensitivity of this warrant request, would be briefed, informed, 107 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: and fully aware of this decision. Now. The reports are 108 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: out there that they went to a judge down in 109 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: South Florida. Judge has a bit of a sketchy background. 110 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: We don't know if they went. Sometimes you go to 111 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: multiple judges. Bucks Certainly in the Russia collusion investigation, there 112 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: were warrants that were granted based on faulty premises of 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: the warrants themselves secret warrants the truth. Yeah, the FISA court, 114 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: they were entirely secret and kept from public view. And 115 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: we didn't know that those were not based in fact 116 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: until years later when some of the Russia collusion to 117 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: hoax began to collapse. So that's the background on a warrant, 118 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: and what is required to me? You asked, said, there's 119 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: two pathways here. As soon as they are doing a 120 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: public pre dawn raid, let's not underrate this either. The 121 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: video that Fox News had up was of a pre 122 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: dawn raid that was taking place thirty some odd FBI 123 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: agents before the sun had come up in Palm Beach, 124 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: go in Mara Lago. Buck, you and I have both 125 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: been there multiple times. We did to show there with 126 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: the President in February, right there beside his private residence, 127 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: probably near where these FBI agents were executing these warrants. 128 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: So they intend to charge Donald Trump with a crime. 129 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 1: That's as soon as I saw this raid. And Buck, 130 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: you know better than many when the FBI goes in, 131 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: the FBI doesn't go in with the intent of, hey, 132 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: maybe we're going to bring charges here. You don't investigate 133 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the former president of the United States like this in 134 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: this public of a fashion without intending to bring charges. 135 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: And it sounds like these are effectively buck trumped up 136 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: charges part in the pun dealing with the handling of 137 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: formerly classified or classified documents from his tenure as president 138 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: of the United States. The smartest conservative that I know 139 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: who has worked in the federal judiciary responded to me 140 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: last night with there's a sealed indictment against President Trump 141 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: right now. Now that's his guest. He doesn't work for 142 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: them anymore. He doesn't have any inside information, But that 143 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: was his sense when I asked him. Having been in 144 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: the federal court system for a long time, he's now out. Yeah, 145 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: And as I said, there's there's only two options here. 146 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: They are just pulling off all the pulling out all 147 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: the stops, no more guardrails, brute force, street fight, politics 148 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: and politicization of the FBI against Trump because they're so 149 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: terrified of him running again. Or they do have an 150 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: indictment that is either pending or perhaps is already under 151 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: seal about classified information, which is going to cause a 152 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: storm of you know what, everybody, I mean, this is 153 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: going to rip the country apart. Let's all just take 154 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: a moment. There has been no indication Clay that there's 155 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: any legal issue involved here other than records and classification 156 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: of records. I had a TS clearance at the CIA. 157 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: I had to go through all the training and for 158 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: years and years was handling classified documents all day long. 159 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: It was my life. Hillary Clinton, this is not a 160 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: what about is and this is not a Hillary Clinton 161 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: violated while running for president. She had she violated and 162 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: was clearly on the wrong side of the law about 163 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: classification documents. And the apparatus said, nobody would bring this charge. 164 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna make it go away. Yes, if they try 165 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: to bring a classification based you know mishandling of information 166 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: charge against Donald Trump. The country is going to be 167 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: on edge in a way that we have not seen 168 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: in decades. You use the analogy, and I think it's 169 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: a good one, and I heard it repeated that this 170 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: is the crossing the Rubicon moment. Yes, sir, and historically 171 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: Caesar crossing the rubicon. You can no longer claim neutrality anymore. 172 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: It is, you know, that next level of a situation 173 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: we have never seen with this precedent in the history 174 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: of the United States. And I know what everybody out 175 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: there gets it, but I think sometimes just crystallizing exactly 176 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: what's going on here, we have the Department of Justice 177 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: of the current president, who just beat the former president 178 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: and is right now poised to run potentially against Trump again, 179 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: using his Department of Justice to potentially destroy and put 180 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: in prison his primary political adversary. This is something that 181 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: happens in third world countries all the time. This is 182 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: something that happens in Banana republics all the time. Buck. 183 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: We have never seen anything like this in a modern era, 184 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: and I say modern era because if you're a big historian, 185 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Burr tried to back in the day 186 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: commit treason against the United States and start his own country. Right. 187 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: There are maybe some sort of crazy happenings that occurred 188 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: in the nineteenth century, in the very early days of 189 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: our country, but we have never seen anything like this 190 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: in anyone living to day's memory, no thing close to it. 191 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: The people who have been lecturing us for years now 192 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: about our sacred democracy, Yes, if this is what we 193 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: all think it is, and I want to say this too. 194 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: They're telling you right now, wait until all the facts 195 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: are in. They're telling you, well, we don't really know. 196 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They don't get the benefit of the doubt. 197 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Not after Russia Trump collusion, not after ten counts of 198 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: possible obstruction, not after the Ukraine phone call that was fine, 199 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: after all of the emoluments clause, the tax evasion allegations, 200 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: all the things they've said about Trump, every time they 201 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: say Trump broke the law, they have been lying to you. 202 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: Now we're going to assume that this time, this time 203 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: it's real, this time it's different. I'm sorry. They don't 204 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt. Nobody should give them 205 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. And those who are going 206 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: along with that are doing the bidding of the Biden 207 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: regime right now. I am sorry, but it is true. 208 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: I am seeing people on the right who are saying, well, 209 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: we have to see what are we going to see 210 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, President Trump is actually the Russian 211 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: stooge and the felon that they've been saying for years. 212 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: They finally got him. Now, full crap, No way we're 213 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: about to go to break here. But I want you 214 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: to think about this. I'm gonna build on it, and 215 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: certainly we're going to attack this story from as many 216 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: different angles as you can imagine. Will also play you 217 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: a couple of top legal analyst Alan Dershowitz last night 218 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: was great on Fox News. CNN's legal analyst was just 219 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: on discussing this case. But I just want you all 220 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: to think about this, and I'm gonna build on it 221 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: we come back. What would the reaction be if Donald 222 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: Trump's Department of Justice had rated Joe Biden's house during 223 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: the campaign for Biden to become the Democrat nominee, or 224 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: after he was already the Democrat nominee and had been 225 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: investigating based on the Hunter Biden laptop, which we all 226 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: know has tons of incriminating date on it. What would 227 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: the media have said, if in a pre on raid, 228 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: suddenly Donald Trump's Justice Department had shown up outside of 229 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's front gate and gone in and started seizing 230 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: documents as part of a criminal investigation, what would the 231 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: media say if they are not saying that exact same 232 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: thing related to this Donald Trump investigation with the Joe 233 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: Biden Department of Justice. That is the very essence of 234 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: choosing aside over a principle. Just think about that a 235 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: little bit. Do you feel nicol and dimes by one 236 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: company after another.

As we were going to break, I 260 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: just asked everybody out there to think about what the 261 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: media reaction would have been if Donald Trump's Department of 262 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: Justice had rated Joe Biden's house in relation to the 263 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop. Now, the Hunter Biden laptop contains ample 264 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: evidence of a bevy of fees. You could pick any 265 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: number of things to investigate aggressively, and I'll point out 266 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: that there is an independent Council investigation involved there. And 267 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: when we come back in this next segment, we should 268 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: play at Alan Dershowitz, who was making a good point, 269 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: and many people have made this point that there is 270 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: a clear and present conflict of interest here when the 271 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: guy who ran against Trump and may run against him 272 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: again is using his FBI in his Department of Justice 273 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: to potentially be trying to knock his top opponent out 274 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: of being able to run for president. I mean, it's 275 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: so corrupt, it's unbelievable. There are a few things that 276 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: will destroy a country's political process faster than the regime 277 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: and power being willing to use the force of the 278 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: state against political opposition because it raises the stakes all 279 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: across the board. Right now, if you lose an election, 280 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: there's gonna be reprisals, and then you convince yourself when 281 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: do the party in power, which is what happens in 282 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: third world. That's exactly right that the parties in powers say, well, 283 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I can't give up power because they're gonna jail all 284 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: my relatives. They're gonna throw me in prison. So I'm 285 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: now taking preemptive I mean, last not on Fox, I said, 286 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: this almost feels like a preemptive coup, right stopping him 287 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: before he can even get into power and using the 288 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: forests of the state as it existed to do so 289 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: we have never seen They said that everything about Trump 290 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: was unprecedented Clay, and then we'd always see, actually it 291 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: used to have, you know, executive orders, whatever the stuff, 292 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: historical memories. This is this is actually unprecedented in a 293 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: way that rarely do I get shocked, Really do you 294 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: get shocked in American politics? This was a real moment, folks. 295 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: I've got a variety of reasons to be in better 296 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: shape these days. I'm engaged the lovely carry that's top 297 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: of the list. But you know, I'm just trying to 298 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: be a guy who's exercising more and more and comes 299 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: with some aches and paints, especially at my age. I'm 300 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: four now. But I've got a new spot or relief Factor. 301 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: The four all natural ingredients and relief Factor work to 302 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: reduce inflammation, which is most often the cause of chronic pain. 303 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: You take relief Factor three times a day, and within 304 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: three weeks time, you'll know it's having a positive effect 305 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: on you. It has already for me, it's really helped out. 306 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: I've had a very sore shoulder.

And and I do 320 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: believe that we have now been put on a well, 321 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: there's really there's two pathways. It's just a question which 322 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: one we're on. Either this is here Andrew Cuomo, I 323 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: think Clay had Tip describes one of these pretty well. DOJ. 324 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: This is the former governor, disgraced governor of New York. 325 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: DJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid, and 326 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives, 327 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: or it will be viewed as a political tactic and 328 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: undermine any future credible investigations and legitimacy of January six investigations. 329 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely true. My guests here personally, I 330 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: think we're going to find out that it is inconsequential 331 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: archive classification dispute bullcrap, and that's But the other option 332 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: is there's a sealed federal indictment and they're actually going 333 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: to go after Trump, possibly all the inconsequential documents. But 334 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: to make it to try to trump it up hard 335 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: in the expression, make it seem like a bigger deal here. 336 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: So Cuomo's analysis, I think, on that score is pretty 337 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Right here is Alan Dershowitz we all 338 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: we all knows here is dershow It's saying the FBI 339 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: better have the goods on this one, and it better 340 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: be the real deal. The key point that everybody's missing 341 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: here is that Donald Trump was not in Marilago, so 342 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: there was no reason not to issue with subpoena returnable tomorrow, 343 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: so that there's no claim that Trump could have destroyed anything. 344 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: Not only that, but under the law, if you seize 345 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: a safe, you don't go into the safe. You have 346 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: to get a special warrant to get into the safe. 347 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: So it seems to me that they have violated the 348 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: rules of the Justice departments. They have gone after both 349 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: a form of president and a future candidate, and they 350 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: darn well bet I have smoking gun proof, which I 351 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: don't see happening. I don't see it happening either, Clay, 352 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't. And let's just be honest. If you had 353 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: smoking gun proof, Trump had eighteen months to get rid 354 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: of it, and why wouldn't it already have been uncovered 355 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: as a part of January sixth, where they've tried to 356 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: draw all sorts of outlandish connections between Trump and some 357 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: of the stories that they allowed to be told in 358 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: that hearing. And what Dershowitz is pointing out is I 359 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: do think, also, Key, don't mistake here what was going on. 360 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: I think they wanted to do this raid when Trump 361 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: was not there, and they probably had to remember their 362 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: Secret Service protection at Marlago. The FBI would have had 363 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: to contact the Secret Service and say hey were showing 364 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: up in a pre dawn raid. I would think buck, 365 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: because otherwise the Secret Service agents are gonna be like, no, 366 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: you can't have access to a private residence of the 367 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: president and this we were talking about this off air. 368 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: I really believe that the DJ wants to arrest Trump. 369 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: How do you arrest someone with an entire Secret Service 370 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: security DC. You certainly can't even to negotiate. Yeah, you 371 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: can't hold them in like a normal jail cell. That 372 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: would be a risk to the former president's person obviously, 373 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: so you would have to, I would think, allow him 374 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: to turn himself in while accompanied by his Secret Service detail, 375 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: or the Secret Service detail have to stay with. I mean, 376 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: the whole concept is so utterly ridiculous even to work through. 377 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: But they certainly had to even to enter mar Lago 378 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: because I don't imagine that you get access to a 379 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: former president's residence like that without substantial negotiations. What about 380 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: Biden allowing this process now, when I say allowing it, 381 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: it's happening on his watch, allowing this process to play out, 382 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: and then preemptively pardoning Donald Trump before he could actually 383 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: face true criminal charges. I know that sounds crazy to people, 384 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: but that would then put it in a position where 385 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: Biden gets to say, my pardoned felon opponent going forward, 386 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: even if even if he's never convicted, even if the 387 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: charge is never brought. It's I stepped in and did 388 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: the right thing, So Donald Trump should do the right 389 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: thing by not running again. I'm just I'm trying to 390 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: think through how this. I believe it's gonna be essentially 391 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: what Cuomo laid out, which is we're gonna find which 392 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: is why everyone now, all the Libs, all the smarmy, 393 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: dishonest libs, are saying it was a lawful warrant. Let 394 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: the process play out, let's see what's in it. We 395 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: don't know as if we haven't seen endless abuse of 396 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: the system already against Trump with Russia collusion and every 397 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: everything else. I mean, we can't even go over it 398 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: all right now. I think that we're gonna wake up 399 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: in two weeks they're gonna be saying, O, Trump wasn't 400 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: playing nicely with the National Archives and he's not above 401 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: the law, and so they had to do this. That's 402 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: where this is I think probably going to go. If 403 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: you wanted to go down the line of your Biden 404 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: pardons him, I mean that certainly would be contra I 405 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: mean cross party, as opposed to Gerald Ford obviously pardoning 406 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: Richard Nixon on his resignation, This would be different, but 407 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: it would also be somewhat intriguing, I would think, buck 408 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: because it could provide the cover to allow Hunter Biden 409 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: to be pardoned as well. This has all gotten so nasty, 410 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden tries to say, and this goes to my 411 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: theory of I still think the DJ in order to 412 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: charge Trump, which I predicted they would do, has to 413 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: charge Hunter Biden as well. And that allows for people 414 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: out there who missed this prediction, that allows Merrick Garland 415 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: to stand up and say, whether you're the president's son 416 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: or a former president, nobody is above the law. And 417 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: then that wipes out the Biden pardon could potentially be 418 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: applied to both. So is it really possible we all 419 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: understand that that there is a there's a political, a 420 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: national political consideration of bringing a criminal charge against not 421 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: only a former president but an active candidate in essence, 422 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: we all know it, Yes, for the presidency the next 423 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: time around. Is it really feasible that Joe Biden would 424 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: sit in the White House and say and and and be, 425 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, washing his hands of this situation and say 426 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: I can't get involved here. They're just going to prosecute him. 427 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: And I asked that question honestly, On the one I 428 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: go back and forth. On the one hand, I feel 429 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: like that's so outlandish and so grotesque, But on the 430 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: other hand, they we have to remember they are still 431 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: suffering from Trump to arrangement syndrome. The lib apparatus hates 432 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump more than they have hated any politician in memory. 433 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: And I think that, maybe you know, ever in the 434 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: history of the Republic, certainly while I've been alive, that 435 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: means that they're they're irrational. You can't trust these people. 436 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Well worse than that too, Buck. Did you see the 437 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: video Joe Biden couldn't put on a jacket getting off 438 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: the helicopter yesterday Today he tried to shake hands with 439 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer twice within the span of about five seconds, 440 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: like a goldfish, appearing to forget that he had just 441 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: shaken hands with Chuck Schumer. The reason why I bring 442 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: that up is what you're asking requires a competent, logical, 443 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: fully functioning Joe Biden brain to be able to analyze 444 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: all the permutations of the choices that he's making. I 445 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: don't think Joe Biden can do that right now. And 446 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: so what does run Claim do? What does Kamala Harris do? 447 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: What does the apparatus that is currently running our country do? 448 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: And I also think maybe we talked about this at 449 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: the top of this an hour. Do you buy into 450 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: the idea that Joe Biden has no clue the White 451 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: House said, oh, we found out about this raid on Twitter. 452 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: Do you buy into the concept or the idea that 453 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland is helping to get a warrant to investigate 454 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and no one inside of the Biden White 455 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: House knows about this at all? Zero chance? Yeah, Biden, 456 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: Biden knows. Garland obviously signed off on this at some level, right, 457 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, just for the f I just don't think. 458 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't think Marrek Garland, the Attorney General, does this. 459 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't think he has the stones personally to make 460 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: this choice without the White House knowing that he's making 461 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: this choice. Right, Well, this is where you see the 462 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: independence of the DOJ is to borrow from Captain Jack 463 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: Sparrow or no, actually it's not cap it's the other 464 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: guy from the movie. It's more of a guideline than 465 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: a rule. You know, yes, there's it's really it's a 466 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: little bit like recusal. People say, oh, you have to 467 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: recuse yourself. That's a judgment call, and lives generally don't 468 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: recuse themselves on a politically important cases. This is why 469 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: Trump was furious with Jeff Sessions over Russia collusion stuff, 470 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: because he said, you gotta be kidding me. You're feeding 471 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: me to the wolves over this one. And on this Yeah, 472 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: technically speaking, Merrick Garland, first of all, they should have 473 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: if this is the real if this is a real 474 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: issue at this level, Clay, of course they should appoint 475 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: a special counsel. Yes, but they don't want to appoint 476 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: a special counsel because they want to keep political control 477 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: of it. That's right. And I don't buy I understand 478 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: they're going to say publicly the White House is we 479 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: had no idea about this. I do not buy that 480 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: there's a pre dawn raid of the man you just 481 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: beat and competed against as president and may well be 482 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: running against again, and you had no clue what was 483 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: happening until you opened up a Twitter machine and saw 484 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: the news breaking. We're gonna play you a clip of 485 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: a CNN legal analyst we just read you, Andrew Cuomo, 486 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: and also talk about what Alan Dershowitz said yesterday on 487 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: Fox News.

Welcome back 509 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We're breaking down, frankly 510 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: unprecedented the raid on President trump'smar Lago estate. And there 511 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: are a lot of legal analysts who are weighing in, 512 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: many of them to their credit, making an awful lot 513 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: of sense. And Buck, you know this guy from CNN. 514 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with him that much in terms of 515 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: what he's been capable of or what he said he 516 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: was trying to say. He reminds me of an Eric 517 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: Clay where there were not necessarily people who were right 518 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: or left. There were just people that were somewhat reasonable 519 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: on CNN, and then Jeff Zucker purged them all during 520 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: the Trump years, and now they're trying to bring him back. 521 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: This is CNN legal analyst Paul Collen, and he's laid out. 522 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: This is on CNN's Morning Show. The host asks him 523 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: about this FBI rate of mar Lago. Listen, we've heard 524 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: a lot about the Presidential Records Act now and have 525 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: for quite some time. If this becomes a Presidential Records 526 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: Act violation, not more do you think it is enough 527 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: to warrant all of this. No, it's not enough to 528 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: warrant all this. And this is a daring and dangerous 529 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: move by the Department of Justice to serve a warrant 530 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: on a former president and to raid his personal residence. 531 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: So Buck, I mean, that's a pretty aggressive, straightforward credit 532 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: to this attorney who may well be on the CNN 533 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: payroll where they want him to say. Yes, of course 534 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice is is justified here. But this 535 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: ties into me with Andrew Cuomo, where where I think 536 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: if you are a lawyer who is truly committed to 537 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: the principles of the law, right, the principles of the 538 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: law as opposed to the political nature of the law, 539 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: what you immediately have to think here is I always 540 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: go to hypothesis and just flip the script. And we 541 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit earlier in the show. 542 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: What would Democrats be saying today if Joe Biden had 543 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: been rated by Donald Trump's FBI and Department of Justice, 544 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: they would be saying that Trump was a dictator attempting 545 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: to use the Department of Justice to eliminate a contender 546 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: for the presidential office against him, that this was the 547 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: darkest day. They'd be saying this book, they would be saying, 548 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: this is the darkest day in the history of American democracy. 549 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: That's the argument they'd be making. Many of those same 550 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: people are cheering this rate. Obviously, there is no limit 551 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: to the bad faith that they have applied to Trump 552 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: all along, and therefore you really can't the people that 553 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: are saying trust the system. The system has been abused 554 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: against Trump clearly and on the record repeatedly. I mean 555 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: they've already weaponized they I mean, Clay Faiza was a 556 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: big deal, like when I was in the intelligence community, 557 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: and the notion of falsifying stuff for fies a cord 558 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: to look at a presidential campaign foreign policy advisor. We've 559 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: almost become numb to it because it went on for 560 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: so long. They did that against Donald Trump. That is 561 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: a matter of record. Now they have had to reckon 562 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: with this because the facts finally came out, and so 563 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: people are now saying, oh, well, we have to see 564 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: and we have to trust the process. What if someone 565 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: called in, I mean, you know what squatting is, right, 566 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: What if someone called in and said, oh, you know, 567 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: there's an imminent threat at mar Lago? Would it be 568 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: okay for the FBI to send in tactical teams to 569 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: go raid Mara Lago because some guy called in an 570 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: anonymous tip. Well, of course, not right, But if you 571 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: want to use bad faith, you could justify that's like, oh, 572 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: we got someone who called in and said, you know, 573 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: Trump's holding hostages when the FBI has already been proven 574 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: to have lied on documents to obtain warrants, saying as 575 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: many people are today and were last night, Well, a 576 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: judge signed off on the warrant, there has to be 577 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: some legitimacy to it has already been proven false. So 578 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not willing to presume, especially when it's 579 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: not released, that everything in this underlying warrant is accurate. 580 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: Buck As a lawyer in much less serious cases, I 581 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: have looked at warrants and challenged their legitimacy based on 582 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: whether it's reasonable and particular enough in nature, based on 583 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: whether there was probable cause to grant that warrant. So 584 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: everybody out there saying, well, this judge agreed that this 585 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: warrant was valid, Well, first of already failed in granting 586 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: warrants we know related to Russia collusion in Donald Trump before. 587 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: I'm not willing to presume that this warrant and the 588 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: other question I have, which nobody seems to be asking buck, 589 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: is was this the only judge they went to. Sometimes 590 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: you go to multiple judges trying to get a warrant 591 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: signed off on. Why was this judge in particular chosen? 592 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: What was it about him that led to this warrant 593 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: being granted? There's some stories out there that he may 594 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: have been connected to Jeffrey Epstein and he was aneam 595 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: defense attorney at one point based on who they believe 596 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: the lawyer, and he's a big Democrat donor, and all 597 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: the things that you would expect for a judge who 598 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: would sign off on something like this. I do think 599 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: that as we watch this play out, and people are 600 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: going to be talking a lot about process, it's so 601 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: important to remember that we already we got a preview 602 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 1: of this with Roger Stone. They sent in FBI tactical 603 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: teams to a lost Roger Stone in his silk pajamas 604 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: at five o'clock in the morning. They tipped CNN off 605 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: to it so they could get some embarrassing footage and 606 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: have all the Russia collusion truthers freaking out with how 607 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: amazing it was, Clay. They could have just called them 608 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: and said turn yourself in tomorrow. Everyone knows that they 609 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: wanted to make an example out of him and to 610 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: threaten him with tack vests and long guns a plenty. 611 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: This is who they are now, This is who the 612 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have become. The only thing I'm surprised by is 613 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: that CNN wasn't there with the cameras rolling when they 614 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: actually went through the gates at mar Lago. That's private club, 615 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: so they could stop them from the front registance. But anyway, yea, yeah, 616 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: but even just standing outside in the street being like, 617 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: oh my god, here comes the FBI. They didn' a 618 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: pre dawn raid. We didn't find out about it till 619 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: Trump notified everybody in the evening, and this story blew 620 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: up as it did. Much more coming on this Congressman 621 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan going to join us. Also Senator Tim Scott 622 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: of South Carolina. He's got a book out, but he 623 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: hasn't spoken out very much in Trump's defense so far. Buck, 624 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna ask him about it. Fleet Travis and Buck 625 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: Sexton on the front lines
