I was worth for a second. 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: When is the addition it's getting close to Christmas? I'm 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: getting a little hazy. We kick it off right now. 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: I got a lot to tell you about. We have 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: an update on the scandal around the Harvard president and 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: how she's going to keep her job. But how did 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: she feel about somebody at Harvard who offended the wokeness gods? 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: What did you think should happen to that individual? We'll 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: talk about that. 13 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: In a little bit in a an exceptional and I 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 2: really mean that, a talented professor at Harvard. 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 3: She wanted him gone because he said the wrong things 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 3: that upset the LM. We shall discuss that. 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: We've also got Sam Altman, who was pushed out of 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: Open AI. 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: Clay. I'm sure you saw this. 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: He's saying that AI could derail the twenty twenty four election. 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: I actually think that this is something that we do 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: need to start to contend with that the ability and 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: the sophistication of people out there to create deep fakes 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: and very real seeming propaganda. You know, It's one thing 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: when you have a bunch of Russians who can't translate 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: or can't speak English very well at all, doing a 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: couple of Hillary memes here and there. But this now, 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: the sophistication level has gone up substantially. So I think 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: that's something we shall visit. We'll get into Biden stabbing 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: Israel on the back, not surprisings what Democrats were always 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: going to do. 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: As soon as the. 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: Outrage of the horrific October seventh terror attack against the 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: Israeli people, against the Jews, as soon as there was 35 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of room for Democrats to play both 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: sides and to start, they would do it. And here 37 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: they are. Biden says Israel is losing world support in 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: the war with Hamas, and he has been described in 39 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: the media as rebuking Benjamin Netan Yahoo says the government 40 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: needs to change, criticizes the bombing Gaza. So we told you, 41 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the Democrats, he can't can't trust 42 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 2: him on this stuff. 43 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: But we'll get into some more of that. 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 2: A huge bit of news out of the Supreme Court 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: that could effect not only the twenty twenty four election, 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: but also have major effect on hundreds of January sixth prisoners, 47 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: many of whom are I think rightly classified as political prisoners. 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: Supreme Courts taking up the interfering with obstructing and official 49 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: proceedings the actual language. Julie Kelly will be with us 50 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: on that. It's a big deal. It goes to Trump's 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: j sixth case in DC, it goes to the convictions 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: of many J six defendants already, and Julie will break 53 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: down all that for us. That's the third hours. Next hour, 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: Morinda Devine of the New York Post will be with us. 55 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: We'll also be talking to us about the Hunter Biden 56 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 2: situation and Clay, why don't we dive into. 57 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: That right now? 58 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 4: Let's do it. 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: Here we go, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, he gave a press conference. 60 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 2: He's holding pressers now everybody in which he's going on offense. 61 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: Let's just get into this, and Claut want to get 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: your reaction. Hunter is saying, sure. I mean, look, guys, 63 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: so he didn't pay taxes for years, so he created 64 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: dummy LLCs to launder money. So he was taking money 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: from the Chinese. So we tried to write off a 66 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: sex club as a business expense, So we tried to 67 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: write off prostitutes as all these things. You know who 68 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: the real problem is here, Clay, Maga Republicans for pointing 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: all this out play clip one. 70 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 5: For six years, Maga Republicans, including members of the House 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 5: committees who are in a closed door session right now, 72 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 5: have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, 73 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: my children, my family, and my friends. They've ridiculed my 74 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: struggle with addiction, They've belittled my recovery, and they have 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 5: tried to dehumanize me all too. 76 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: Embarrass and damage my father. 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 5: For six years, I've been the target of the unrelenting 78 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 5: Trump attack machine, shouting where's Hunter. 79 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: Well, here's my answer. I am here on offense, Clay, 80 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: What do you make of it? 81 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: I respect the fact that he wants to go on offense, 82 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: and I think we live in such a politically divided 83 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: time that there is a certain segment of the population 84 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: that's going to believe that Hunter has been wronged because 85 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: they want to believe that their party is right, no 86 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: matter what the reality is. Hunter created all of this 87 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: mess himself, and I actually think the most significant thing. 88 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: First of all, let's talk about what should happen. He 89 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: should be immediately held in contempt of Congress for refusing 90 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: to testify as he was obligated to do under the 91 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: deposition that was put forward. If he wants to show 92 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: up and take the Fifth Amendment because he doesn't want 93 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: to incriminate himself, that is his right, as it is 94 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: the right of many others. But Donald Trump Junior ever 95 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: tweeted this out, and I think it really kind of 96 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: goes to the essence here, and I'm gonna read his tweet. 97 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden just refused to show up for his congressional testimony. 98 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the same amount of outrage from 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the media as they'd have if I blew off any 100 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: of my five congressional sub penis subpenis. But since they're 101 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: covering for Joe Biden and his corruption, I won't hold 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: my breath. So the Trump family has regularly been required 103 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: to sit under oath and answer questions about a variety 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: of different stories, much of which are completely made up 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: Russia collusion, for instance, Because their dad is a politician, 106 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: they didn't do anything wrong. Nothing's been found wrong that 107 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: they have done. I actually think that Hunter in constantly 108 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: playing the addiction card is trying to make himself look 109 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: like a victim, when the reality is he chose everything 110 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: that has happened to him. Nobody stole his laptop, He 111 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: took it to a laptop repairman. Fifty one different intelligence 112 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 1: agents came out and then lied and said that Hunter's 113 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, when anyone 114 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: who looked at any of it for just a moment 115 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: in time would have seen how true it all was. 116 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: And what I think is actually the most important part 117 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: of what Hunter said. Remember, press conference is a little 118 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: bit kind to him. He really just kind of showed 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: up and read a public statement. He didn't answer questions 120 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: from the media that was assembled there. But Buck, they 121 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: have totally changed their story. Remember when Joe Biden said 122 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: he had absolutely nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business 123 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: at all, that he didn't speak to Hunter's business partners. 124 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: All of that as part of the twenty twenty election 125 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: has been proven to be a lie. And now they 126 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: have retrenched their argument to Joe Biden wasn't directly compensated 127 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: by the money that Hunter got, and so if we 128 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: had an honest media, they would be looking at all 129 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: of this and saying, boy, there's a lot of smoke here. 130 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: But I think the biggest issue is this is just evidence. 131 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Hunter's not going to be able to go away. They're 132 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: not going to be able buck to say what they 133 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: would have done if Judge Noriyeika had signed off, if 134 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: those irs whistleblowers hadn't come forward. That's old news, that's 135 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: taken care of. It doesn't exist anymore. The Hunter Biden 136 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: issues are going to remain for the rest of the 137 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four campaign, and I think it's going to 138 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: be hard to dismiss them. I mean, this is a 139 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: big story now. 140 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 6: The final fortress, if you will. 141 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: For the Democrats, the line of demarcation they're going to 142 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: desperately try to draw has to do with whether a 143 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: Hunter was a cutout for Joe. They want to create 144 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: this perception, Okay, Hunter's a mess addiction, blah blah, YadA YadA, 145 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: but Joe had nothing to do with this. Well, you're noticing, Clay. 146 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: They're having to parse it a little bit. Ever, since 147 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: more information because of Comer and the House Oversight Committee 148 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: has come out where now he's saying Hunter is saying 149 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: that Joe was never financially. 150 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: Involved in his business. This is cut too, this is 151 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: from today play it. 152 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 5: Let me state as clearly as I can, my father 153 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 5: was not financially involved in my business. Not as a 154 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 5: practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Barisma, not 155 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 5: in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in 156 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 5: my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as 157 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 5: an artist. In the depths of my addiction, I was 158 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 5: extremely irresponsible. 159 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 3: With my finances. 160 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 5: But to suggest that his grounds for an impeacement inquiry 161 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 5: is beyond the absurd is shameless. There's no evidence to 162 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 5: support the allegations that my father was financially involved in 163 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 5: my business. 164 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: Like, can I just put out what I think happens 165 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: here or what I think the game is. Hunter's just 166 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 2: gonna You're right, it's now an issue. They were hoping, 167 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: you know, the judge nor Aka didn't let them do 168 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: what they were They were this close. They were like 169 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: this close to being Indiana Jones when he goes under 170 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 2: the big stone door and grabs the hat and he's good, right, 171 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: He's safe. They were so close but sure with the kids. 172 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 1: It reminds me of Scooby Doo, when you know the 173 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: guy who gets caught always says, if it hadn't been 174 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: for you, you know, kids, we would have gotten away 175 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: with it. 176 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 4: You know, when they unmask whoever mad guy is. Yeah. 177 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: Absolutely, But so now he has to go on offense. 178 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: So here's what ends up happening. As long as hunter 179 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: Biden is clear in his protection of Daddy and leaves 180 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: him as a viable candidate for office in the reelection. 181 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: He knows he is protected. Here's how he thinks this 182 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: whole thing lays out. He gives the occasional speech if 183 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: he has to, as new things come out or as 184 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: Republicans go on offense, he plays the my dad loves me. 185 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: I have an addiction. It's my fault, not his fault. Game, 186 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: Stop blaming my dad. He hopes the legal onslaught against 187 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: Trump is enough to bring his numbers down, and then 188 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: Biden or Kamalo wins reelection and he gets pardoned of 189 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: every possible federal crime and he has random like you know, 190 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: sugar Dad, he's like guys who just give him. You know, 191 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: there's some lawyer gave him like five million dollars or 192 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: something like this. That's the warrior who paid off all 193 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: his back taxes. I mean pay off the back taxes 194 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 2: somebody else did, and he is going to be a 195 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: rich man again and completely outside the reach of federal 196 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: law by well. 197 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 3: By next December. On the way, what do you think 198 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: about this? 199 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: He will be he will be pardon of all charges, 200 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: and they'll find a way to start making him rich again. 201 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: As low long as he plays the game, as long 202 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: as he falls on his sword to protect Daddy, which 203 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: I think he would do anyway. 204 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: I think that he certainly will get pardoned. 205 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: And this is why, again, if we had an honest media, 206 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: they would be lambasting Joe Biden every time he's able 207 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: to do any kind of public event to get him 208 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: on the record saying I one hundred percent will not 209 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: pardon my son, because he will, and I don't even 210 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: begrudge Joe Biden for making that choice. In fact, when 211 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: I watched this press conference this morning, my first thought was, 212 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: I bet Joe Biden is gonna call Hunter within five 213 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: minutes of the press conference being over, basically as soon 214 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: as Hunter gets into his you know, security detail SUV 215 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: and say you were amazing, son, You did such a 216 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: good job in that press conference. You you were fantastic. 217 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: That's exactly what we needed to do. We needed to 218 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: go on offense and point out how awful these Republicans 219 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: are for coming after you with over your addiction. Here's 220 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: the deal. Nobody's coming after Hunter over the addiction. They're 221 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: coming after him because he didn't pay millions of dollars 222 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: in taxes, and he tried to shield the fact that 223 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: he wasn't paying those millions of dollars in taxes. Yes, 224 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: he happened to have an addiction at the same time 225 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: evidently that he was doing all of that. But I mean, 226 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't find the addiction argument to be compelling for 227 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: anyone with a functional brain, because lots of people commit 228 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: crimes when they're addicts. It doesn't mean that they're not 229 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: responsible for the crimes that they commit. You don't get 230 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: to just wave it get out of jail free card. 231 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: If you are drunk and you're an alcoholic and you 232 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: hit somebody while you're driving a car and you kill 233 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: a pedestrian, it would be ridiculous for you to hold 234 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: a press conference and say, how dare people condemn my addiction? Now, 235 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: you didn't pay millions of dollars in taxes. You happened 236 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: evidently to be addicted to crack at the time. That's 237 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: a failure of your personal life, but it doesn't obviate 238 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: your responsibility to pay taxes. I mean, those are two 239 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: completely different stories. I understand why he's trying to commingle 240 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: them because he's trying to play the desperate sympathy card. Also, 241 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: nobody's attacked his kids, and he said, people have come 242 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: after my wife and my kid. I don't even know 243 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: who Hunter Biden's wife is, and nobody's come after his kids. 244 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: The only way his kids have been right, Well, yeah, 245 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know. But you're talking about the wife 246 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: or the kids. The only story but the kids. 247 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: It's tough to keep up. The wife, it's tough to 248 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: keep up. 249 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: But the only story with the kids that has been 250 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: a story is the fact that they refuse to acknowledge 251 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: that he was the father of one child and that 252 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: that was actually cruel of Joe Biden. But that, again 253 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: was Hunter's choice and the Biden family's choice. I mean, Buck, 254 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: if it came out that you or I had a 255 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: secret kid and media matters found out about it, they. 256 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 4: Would write all about it. It would be a valid story. 257 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: If I had a secret you know, kid from some 258 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: other relationship. I mean, I'm not gonna claim that that 259 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't be a valid story. It would have been coming 260 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: after the kid. It would be coming after me for 261 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: my personal irresponsibility and my refusal to take all that 262 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: responsibility on myself. So this, to me is just more 263 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: of the same and frankly more entitled behavior by hundred 264 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: to even claim that he's a victim here at all. 265 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 6: But I still think for anyone who believes that there 266 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 6: will be justice here in any capacity, Hunter Biden will 267 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 6: not spend a day in prison. 268 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: He knows it. 269 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: So all the teary eyed stuff about my you know, 270 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: I'm facing all this and I'm sorry, but a lot 271 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: of other people in the country already know this. If 272 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: you were just not Joe Biden's son and not necessary 273 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: for the Democrat apparatus to maintain power, you would be 274 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: sitting and rotting in a federal prison for years, yes, 275 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: And Crafts. 276 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 6: Would be justifying it, and a lot of Republicans would too. 277 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: They say, here, the law is the law, and you're like, okay, well, 278 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: like what exactly did I do here? And oh no, 279 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: I'm talking about specifically here about the taxes with Hunter Biden. 280 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: He's gonna get away with the whole thing, and that's 281 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: really tough for people. Hunter Biden gets away with obviously 282 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: committing clear crimes while they're trying to lock Donald Trump 283 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: up for absurd, vague, uncommitted crimes. Is this is the 284 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: part of it that's gonna be really hard people's stomach. 285 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: Let's come back. There's another Hunter bite by the way 286 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: about his demands here at Clay.

Maybe some people woul say Oxford 310 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: or Cambridge, but globally speaking, probably the most revered university 311 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: on the planet. Should it be well, that's a whole 312 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 2: other question. But some interesting stuff has come out on this. Clay, 313 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: I have to sometimes contend with the fact that I 314 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: don't I am not vindictive. I like people to have 315 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: second chances. I like people to be shown appropriate mercy. 316 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: I don't want to be nasty to people. And there 317 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 2: were moments, you know, in this whole president thing where 318 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: with these different women, there was a little I had 319 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 2: this little impulse, I'm gonna confess this little impulse to 320 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: say they know if they don't say this crazy stuff 321 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: and try to have this halfway dance. They're gonna have 322 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of lunatic Palestinian protesters or whatever gathering outside 323 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: their house, probably off campus and threatening their children. So 324 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: you know, I went through that exercise in my head 325 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 2: of yeah, what they said is it's indefensible, but I 326 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: can see the pressure that they may have been under. 327 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: Forget all that. Okay, by the way. 328 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 4: Did not I did not have anything. 329 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 3: They did not have that. If they did not have that, 330 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 3: I was. 331 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: I think when you take millions of dollars in payments 332 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: to advocate for things that you're smart enough to know 333 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: are total bs and hypocritical lies, I have zero sympathy 334 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: for the fact that there may be consequences for the millions. 335 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: I have a lot of sympathy, truly for people out 336 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: there who were making seventy thousand dollars a year and 337 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: they know that their corporate. 338 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 4: BS is all BS. 339 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: But they got a mortgage to pay, they got kids 340 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: they're trying to help get into college. I understand why 341 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: those people shut up and don't speak out. But when 342 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: you are a mouthpiece for the propagandist and you are 343 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: being paid highly for that, I think you should have 344 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: to suffer the slings and arrows. 345 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: Slings and arrows. 346 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, people waiting outside your home or something. 347 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 2: You would hope that they're but that hasn't happened, to 348 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: be clear, because because the left. 349 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: Yes, well they protect themselves, they protect themselves. 350 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 2: And and but I just I agree with the culture 351 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 2: being applied. Yes, And so keep in mind that you know, 352 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: now it's university president says something that we think is 353 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: really bad, and there's this big voice out there that 354 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: says you must resign. And okay, but this is going 355 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: to continue. This is one of the problems in this 356 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: whole situation on the campuses. Is it deeply abhorrent morally, ethically, 357 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: and otherwise to take the positions that many of these 358 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: students have on campus. Yes, are they going to use 359 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: whatever sanctions are now being leveled against them against people 360 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: who won't use the appropriate pronouns going forward? 361 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 3: Yes? Were they going to do that anyway? 362 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 7: Though? 363 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: So maybe we might as well try to enforce or 364 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: inflict some pain upon the other side on the way. Yes, right, 365 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: these are the complexities of this. But here's what I want, 366 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: what I actually really wanted to get to in the 367 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: case of President Gay. It has come forward and I 368 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: had tip a Coillette the website Collette dot com on 369 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: this one. They had a piece on this professor, a 370 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: professor Clay who had tenure at the time, and his 371 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: name is Roland. 372 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 3: Fryar, Junior. 373 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: Amazing life story meaning you know, the guy overcome tremendous, 374 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: a guy overcame a tremendous hardship and and became really 375 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: an exceptional professor in his field, academic in his field. 376 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: Was the youngest black professor to ever get tenure at Harvard, 377 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: and he ran into the the buzzsaw of political correctness 378 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 2: and wokeness on campus. A few years ago, they had 379 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: some Title nine investigation into him. 380 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: No big thing. He didn't assault that he won. He 381 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: didn't threaten, and he won. He didn't co worse anyone. 382 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 2: He made a couple of jokes that, you know, okay, 383 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: a little you know, maybe a little bit inappropriate, but 384 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: nothing really nothing from what I saw, nothing egregious. Made 385 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: a couple of jokes. President Gay was then a dean. 386 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: She wanted him fired and d tenured for this. They 387 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: haven't taken away. He's a black, the first black professor 388 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 2: of his age. So young to get tenure at Harvard. 389 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: She wanted him d tenured, which they haven't done in 390 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: one hundred years, and fired Clay and not because of 391 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 2: the tunnel nine thing, because guess who did the number 392 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: crunching to show that while BLM was saying that black 393 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: people are being murdered in a genocide by cop in 394 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: this country, that the actual data shows that white people 395 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: are more likely. 396 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 3: This was his sin. 397 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: White people are more likely to be shot by a 398 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 2: cop under the same circumstances, by the data than a 399 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 2: black person in America. Is that enraged the left And 400 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: she was the one who wanted this guy ruined And. 401 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 3: This was just a few years ago. 402 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean this is why I think this 403 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: is such a difficult case because I actually agree with 404 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: what the MIT pen and Harvard president said, which is 405 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: they're going to try to be as aggressive and defending 406 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: free speech as they possibly can, and they try to 407 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: support someone's right to even say something heinous, which I 408 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: think everybody out there would agree calling for genocide is heinous. 409 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: But this is the only heinous thing that they will defend, 410 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: is the problem. 411 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 4: That's the problem. 412 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: And so my concern is that what they'll do is 413 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: just decide to expand and be more sensorious. Right, So 414 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: they'll now say, oh, you can't say this about this group, 415 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: And I understand it makes it challenging because you have 416 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: the balance of identity politics. What I wish is that 417 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: every college campus would come out and say, guess what, 418 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: life is tough. Awful things are going to be said 419 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: that you probably are going to disagree with during your 420 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: course of life. That's the price of free speech in 421 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: a marketplace of ideas where everyone can say things, even 422 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: some things that you might find reprehensible. We have to 423 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: allow that in order to allow the full fruition of 424 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. 425 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 4: That's what should be said. 426 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: That's what colleges should exist for. So the problem here 427 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: is they don't actually believe that. And my concern also 428 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: is if you get rid of these people, do you 429 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: get anybody better? I mean, really, what we're dealing with 430 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: is a toxic foundational issue at these universities that has 431 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: been allowed to exist over the last twenty years or so. 432 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 4: It has grown noxious and. 433 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: It's basically a form of nineteen forties era racism. And 434 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: some of you might out there might be saying, okay, 435 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: explain that it's using race as a proxy for either 436 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: good or evil solely based on what the color of 437 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: your skin is is a proxy of what you should 438 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: be accorded in society. It's honestly, Buck, to kill a 439 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Mockingbird reversed, right. Everybody read to Kill a Mockingbird, or 440 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: at least some of you out there pretended to read 441 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: to Kill a Mockingbird when you were in school. 442 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: I didn't courage went to the cliff Notes. Let's be honest. 443 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 2: Some of you went to the cliff notes. 444 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: And you know what, Buck, Yesterday I was talking my 445 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: kids are in the finals, and my fifteen year old said, 446 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of hate the way they test literature. 447 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: You just have to remember characters' names and you have 448 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: to remember plot points, and it's not like the overall 449 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: lesson of a book. And I said, yeah, because there's 450 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot of knuckleheads out there that will not read 451 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: the book. And so the way they try to insist 452 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: that you read the book is, hey, what's the name 453 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: of the narrator? And to kill a Mockingbird it's Scout, 454 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: by the way, uh, And what's her dad's name. It's Atticus. 455 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: But you know, it's the point on This is Tom Robinson, 456 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: who and I love this novel, but Tom Robinson, who 457 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: was accused of raping a white woman, was guilty because 458 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: he was a black man. All identity politics does is 459 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: take the same principles that were roundly ridiculed and proven 460 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: to be profoundly wrong from to Kill a Mockingbird and 461 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: reverse the races. So you can't be guilty based on 462 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: your skin color. It's just a a sort of mirror image, 463 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: a one point eighty from you are guilty based on 464 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: your skin color, and now white people are guilty based 465 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: on their skin color, and black people, brown people can't 466 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: be guilty based on their skin color. It's a bastardization 467 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: of nineteen forties America, with the guys being that in 468 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: creating modern day racism, treating people differently based on their race, 469 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: you're somehow the good guy. And that is I believe 470 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: the root foundational issue that October seventh has exploded on 471 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: so many of these college campuses. 472 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: I think also it's it's easy to lose sight of 473 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 2: just how absurd, oppressive and obtuse this stuff on campus 474 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 2: really is. Because the formulation, if you take the old 475 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: school ACLU, now the ACLU is an authoritarian left wing 476 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: organization run by by wackos, has been for many years. 477 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: But the old school first Amendment, small l liberals out 478 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: there would say, well, what Harvard and these other schools, 479 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: and I think Clay, this is your position as well. 480 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 2: What Harvard and these other schools should do is just say, look, 481 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 2: you're allowed to say as long as you're not threatening violence, 482 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: as long as you're not breaking the law, as long 483 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: as you're not inciting a mob to go after somebody. 484 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 3: Basically, if your. 485 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: If your speech is lawful and does not cross over 486 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 2: into conduct or imminent threat, you know, you're allowed to 487 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: say what you want to say, and we'll tell people 488 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: to be nice to each other. The problem you have 489 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: on campus is that it's not like oh, because you know, 490 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 2: you know, because they have presidents on these campuses who 491 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: are saying, I don't know. There has to be a 492 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: context before I can decide whether genocide of the Jews 493 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: is a problem for our code of conduct. That there 494 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: will also be other heinous things that are allowed to 495 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: be said. No, the problem is you actually will be 496 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: treated like you're saying something heinous for saying that men 497 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: can't get pregnant, right, The problem is that it goes 498 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: into this other territory of the same rubric. It's kind 499 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,959 Speaker 2: of like a reasonable man's standard failure, reasonable woman's standard failure. 500 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: The second they can, they will wield power for the 501 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 2: most clearly ideological means by claiming speech they don't like 502 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 2: equals violence. 503 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 3: Which is what they were doing for years. 504 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: Speech equals violence was their primary formulation. This was really 505 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: I feel like twenty six you know, the Trump era, right, 506 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 2: that's when speech became violence to them, and it was 507 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 2: things like I like Donald. 508 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 3: Trump, I should vote for him. That's violence. 509 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: Well, and not only that, really this is all rooted 510 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: in white college graduate anti liberalism, which is honestly of 511 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: the opinion that black let's be honest, is honestly of 512 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: the opinion that black people can't handle mean things, and 513 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: so white liberals decide they have to protect black people, 514 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: and that's where all the speech codes have to developed. 515 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: And what they're having to deal with now is, well, 516 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: how do you grapple with that in a situation where 517 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: the Palestinians who are seen as brown, the colonizers, the colonized, 518 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: and the oppressed. When they're the bad guy, you recognize 519 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: that this race based fabric doesn't exist in a tangible, 520 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: intelligent way. 521 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 4: When the white. 522 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: Person the Jewish people are actually the victims, the entire 523 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: identity politics world collapses and really, I think exposes the 524 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: root nastiness of this entire ideology. 525 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: Remember, we've got Miranda Devine joining us the next hour 526 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 2: with the latest on the Hunter Biden situation.

Welcome back in Clay Travis 566 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by Miranda Devine, 567 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: who deserves all the Pulitzers for her Hunter Biden New 568 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: York Post expose a surrounding that Hunter Biden laptop. I'll 569 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: just te you up here, Miranda, what did you think 570 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden's performance and his suggestion that this was 571 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: all political, that he was just a poor addict, that 572 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: there's nothing that he's done wrong, and pretty significantly the 573 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: moving of the goalpost that continues to occur, where now 574 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: he's basically saying that his dad did not directly financially participate, 575 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: whereas Joe Biden back when he ran for president said 576 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: I had absolutely nothing to do with Hunter's business. He 577 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: made no money from China. There's a lot of shifting 578 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: that has gone on here. What's your assessment of what 579 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: you saw? 580 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, the shifting of the goalpost is absolutely breathtaking, and 581 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 7: it should have the media with their heads on swivels, 582 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 7: but they just roll with the punches, most of them. 583 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 7: So I thought it was a performance, just as you said. 584 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 7: And of course, you know, it's sort of been painted 585 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 7: as being bold and brash and courageous, but there's really 586 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 7: nothing courageous about flouting a congressional subpoena when you know 587 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 7: that you've got your father's pardon power in your back pocket. 588 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 7: There's just no consequences ever for Hunter. And I think 589 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 7: that his decision today to hold that kind of Woe 590 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 7: is Me press conference instead of turning up to the 591 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 7: committee hearing where he was supposed to testify, is just 592 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 7: another example of the kind of privilege that the Bidens 593 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 7: think that they're entitled to. They talk about being above 594 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 7: the law. They think they should have special treatment every 595 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 7: other witness that's turned up to the househover site or 596 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 7: ways and means of Judiciary committee hearing. It's always been 597 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 7: the same routine. You go and you sit for a 598 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 7: closed door deposition where the lawyers are able to they 599 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 7: have an hour each from both sides to ask really 600 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 7: in depth questions and get into granular detail, rather than 601 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 7: have the clown show that I'm sorry, that's what the 602 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 7: public hearings are up on Capitol Hill, where you know, 603 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 7: Democrats and Republicans get five minutes each and both sides 604 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 7: just grandstand. So that's why you have the closed door 605 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 7: depission and then after that you can have the public 606 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 7: hearing if you like. But you know, Hunter Biden knows that, 607 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 7: and so does his very expensive lawyer, Abby Lowell. So 608 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 7: instead they just chose to do this pr strategy and 609 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 7: Hunter just used the same cynical kind of tactic that 610 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 7: his father has employed to great effect throughout his political career, 611 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 7: and that is painting himself as an objective pity playing 612 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 7: on the public sympathy and empathy. And you know, you 613 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 7: notice that I think he mentioned his addiction, the struggles 614 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 7: that he had, his recovery and so on three or 615 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 7: four times, and you know, as if like he says, 616 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 7: I was, I was, you know, irresponsible with my finances, 617 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 7: it's a lot more than that. And the main I 618 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 7: think the top line, which you mentioned initially, was that 619 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 7: he made a point of saying that there's no evidence 620 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 7: that his father, as the president, was financially involved in 621 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 7: my business, and that is a very clever, loyally. Term 622 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 7: of those words have been very carefully passed, and that's 623 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 7: because they know that there's just overwhelming evidence and it 624 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 7: comes from bank records, it comes from testimony from eyewitnesses, 625 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 7: it comes from you know, iCloud warrants, warrants, search warrants 626 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 7: of Hunter's iCloud and so on. That's Joe Biden met 627 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 7: with Hunter, Biden's overseas business partners that were giving him, 628 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 7: you know, millions of dollars to the tune so far 629 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 7: that the Republicans and the irs have figured out twenty 630 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 7: four million dollars from China and sure in Ukraine and 631 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 7: so on. Joe Biden made himself available. He knew exactly 632 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,720 Speaker 7: what was happening, that he was being sold to the 633 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 7: highest bidder. And you know, that's why I think Andy 634 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 7: McCarthy and Jonathan Turley have made this very you know, 635 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 7: important and salient point, which is that you don't need 636 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 7: to prove that any money went into Joe Biden's bank accounts, 637 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 7: even though James Comer is found I think two hundred 638 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 7: and forty thousand dollars that did go from Jim Biden 639 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 7: to Joe Biden's bank accounts, and some sort of money 640 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 7: from Hunters, which they dress up as a loan. But 641 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 7: you don't have to prove that for bribery, which is 642 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 7: part of the impeachment, in one of the impeachment crimes, 643 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 7: because these statutes for bribery just says that you have 644 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 7: to have provided services in your official capacity in return 645 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 7: for benefits. And those benefits went to his immediate family, 646 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 7: you know, millions of dollars of benefits. And so Joe 647 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 7: Biden appearing, you know, meeting with Hunter's business partners, showing 648 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 7: up on Devon Archer, set up to twenty phone calls. 649 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 7: I'm told there are more on the speaker phone to 650 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 7: speak to Hunter's business partners. You know, the firing of 651 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 7: the Ukrainian prosecutor, which is the big quick pro quo, 652 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 7: which that are most worried about. All of those things 653 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 7: are benefits where Joe Biden used his official powers to 654 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 7: benefit his son and his brother. 655 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 2: Speaking of Miranda Devine of the New York Post, and Miranda, 656 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 2: you know, I think that you're seeing this the way 657 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 2: I am, which is that I don't believe Hunter Biden 658 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 2: is worried at all about the legal consequences, at least 659 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 2: in terms of incarceration and serving any kind of a 660 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 2: printed prison sentence. We can see that one. But are 661 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 2: the people in and around by the world concerned that 662 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 2: this is actually causing real political harm to Joe Biden 663 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,760 Speaker 2: or do they think they'll be able to pull the Oh, 664 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: Hunter is just an addict and his dad loves them, 665 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 2: and he had nothing to do with the card, and 666 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 2: that will be enough. 667 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 7: Look, I think you know, they have the media on 668 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 7: their side, so they can manipulate and control the narrative 669 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 7: in any way they like. I think the fact that 670 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 7: you've had this week, some Democrats have come out, I 671 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,479 Speaker 7: think like Chris Murphy and have effectively thrown Hunter rounds 672 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 7: the bus and just said, look, you know, he's troubled, 673 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 7: he's done terrible things, blah blah blah. But they just 674 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 7: cauterize him from his father and they will just And 675 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 7: I think there are a lot of people you just 676 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 7: look at the Washington Post comments under stories in the 677 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 7: New York Times, who are very ready to forgive Joe 678 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 7: Biden to say his only crime was to be a 679 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 7: loving father, and he suffered enough tragedy in his life. 680 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 7: Both have leave them alone and cruel Republicans, and it's 681 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 7: very cynical. And I guess that's what Joe Biden has 682 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 7: done throughout his career. I mean, it's he's had forty 683 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 7: some odd years to cement this image of himself as honest, Joe, modest, Joe, 684 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 7: Joe who's you know, full of empathy because of the 685 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 7: tragedies that he you know, the legitimate tragedies that he 686 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 7: has suffered in his life, but he's leveraged that politically. 687 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 7: You know, the photo. I always think of this when 688 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 7: his wife and baby daughter were killed in a car 689 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 7: crash at the very beginning of his senate career, and 690 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 7: Hunter and his brother Bo were just little, tiny tops 691 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 7: and they were badly injured in the car accident, and 692 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 7: so they're in hospital, all bandaged up, and you know, 693 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 7: little one, you know, motherless boys lying on this hospital bed, 694 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 7: and Joe Biden invited the photographers and the media scrum 695 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 7: into that room to photograph him while he was being 696 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 7: sworn in. And you know, that touched the heartstrings of 697 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 7: two generations of American voters. And you can't help but 698 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 7: feel empathy and sympathy when you see that photograph. But 699 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 7: when you step back a little bit and think about it. 700 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 7: Joe Biden's used that photograph in every election campaign since. 701 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 7: And why didn't he, you know, get sworn. 702 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: In, sworn in anywhere other than his kid's hospital room 703 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: is a very valid question. 704 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he could have, and they're right in the foreground. 705 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 7: He's used that every time, and it's quite sickening. You know, 706 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 7: even when he met with the family members of the 707 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 7: thirteen fallen service personnel who were killed in carbull in 708 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 7: the watched his watched withdrawal from Afghanistan. You know, you 709 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 7: saw then how genuine his empathy is. Those parants were 710 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 7: disgusted by his behavior. He's looking at his watch constantly 711 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 7: as the bodies were being brought home. And then when 712 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 7: he talked to them, they said that he just talked 713 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 7: about himself. He just talked about his son Bo who 714 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 7: died several years earlier of brain cancer, not from falling 715 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 7: in the line of duty as their sons did, because 716 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 7: of the incompetent president who was seeking a timeline that 717 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 7: suited him politically to get out of Afghanistan. So I 718 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 7: think that, you know, over time, the mythology that Joe 719 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 7: Biden has built around himself is crumbling. Honest, Joe certainly 720 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 7: is modest. Joe. I mean, he has a champagne lifestyle, 721 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 7: and so does his entire family. And you can see 722 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 7: that just from the indictment of Hunt of Biden, where 723 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 7: you know the millions of dollars that he lavished on 724 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 7: himself and his own indulgences from hookers to you know, 725 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 7: tens of thousands of dollars on clothes. I think it 726 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,720 Speaker 7: was seventy thousand on new teeth. You know, hotel rooms, 727 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 7: lavish hotel rooms. You know, money is no object. 728 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 1: And do you feel, by the way, Miranda, last question 729 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: for you, and thank you for the time here, do 730 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: you feel some measure of vindication that years now after 731 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: your initial report Basically, if you look at that those 732 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: charges fought filed for tax evasion issues with Hunter, all 733 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: of it's now been proven to be true. 734 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure you read that complaint. 735 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: A lot of it was reporting that you had previously 736 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: put out there based on the laptop. Is that some 737 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: form of personal validation now that it took three years 738 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: and anybody with a functional brain who'd read your reporting knew. 739 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 4: How valid it was. 740 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: But now it's out there in the public domain and 741 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: impossible to ignore. 742 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, kind of. I mean, look, it was so obviously true, 743 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 7: and anyone with half a brain and who was honest 744 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 7: knew it was true from the start. And Joe Biden's 745 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 7: continual lies and cover up, that the immense cover up 746 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 7: from the DOJ and the FBI and the CIA shows 747 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 7: that they obviously have something to hide. And I don't 748 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 7: think we've uncovered it all yet. So let's hope that, 749 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 7: you know, justice does come and accountability does come, and 750 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 7: that the American people, especially that part of the public 751 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 7: that is being a gas lit by their media sources, 752 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 7: that they actually come to their senses and realize the truth, 753 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 7: and that something is done about this corruption in Washington, 754 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 7: because if the Biden family gets away with this outright 755 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 7: corruption and selling out America's national security, then you know, 756 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 7: the next person that does it will be even worse. 757 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 6: Randa Devine, everybody always fantastic, Miranda, appreciate you being here. 758 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 7: Great to be with you.

This was a statute 813 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 8: passed after the enrun Arthur Anderson counting scandal that sort 814 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 8: of closed a loophole related to the destruction or campering 815 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 8: with witnesses or evidence. You might recall the shredding of 816 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 8: documents in that case. What DOJ has done in January 817 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 8: sixth is weaponize that statute to criminalize political dissent. You 818 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 8: have more than three hundred and twenty January sixth defendants 819 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,800 Speaker 8: who have been charged with this felony punishable by to 820 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 8: twenty years in prison.

Two of the fourth 822 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 8: count are affected by are directly fifteenth twelve C two related. 823 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 8: So the notion, the idea that the Supreme Court picked 824 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 8: up what was called really a muddy splintered ruling by 825 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 8: the Appellate Court that upheld DOJ's use of this statute. 826 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 8: The fact that the Supreme Court came back as many 827 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 8: have predicted, and they will have to evaluate how the 828 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 8: DOJ intentionally misinterpreted the language in that statute to use 829 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 8: it as a felony charge against so many Americans. For 830 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 8: J six and now Jack Smith, the repercussions here are huge, 831 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 8: not just for Donald Trump, which we can sort of 832 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 8: talk about the timeline in this collision course, but people 833 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 8: who have already spent years in prison for convictions or 834 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 8: plea deals on this. You're at least one man, Matthew Perna, 835 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 8: who hung himself in February of twenty twenty two after 836 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 8: he was told the DJ was going to seek years 837 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 8: in prison after he pleaded guilty to fifteen twelve C. 838 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 7: Two. 839 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,760 Speaker 8: The human wreckage left behind in this Department of Justice 840 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 8: Merrick Garland and Matthew Graves, a DCUs attorney bastardizing this 841 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 8: statute to punish people and destroy the lives of those 842 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 8: who protested Joe Biden's election. This will go down in 843 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 8: history legal history as one of the worst abuses of 844 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 8: power by DJ and at least fifteen judges on the 845 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 8: DC District Court who refused to dismiss this count even 846 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 8: though they knew DJ was misusing it. 847 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: Julie, you've done great work on all this, and I 848 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: want to give you credit. I think you came on 849 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: with us months ago and raised this as Hey, this 850 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: is a looming issue for the Jack Smith prosecution, so 851 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 1: I want to focus on the Donald Trump aspect, but 852 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: also want to reiterate over three hundred people have been 853 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: convicted using this statute, right, so if the Supreme Court charged, Okay, 854 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: if the Supreme Court looks at this, am I correct? 855 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 1: Before I dive into Trump, that Graves, after this ruling 856 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 1: and as the appeals have been going on, has stopped 857 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: trying to charge people with this offense and prosecute because 858 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: he's been worried about how it's going to be held 859 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: up by the courts. 860 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 7: Correct. 861 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 8: So Matthew Graves is a DCOs attorney Biden appointee, still 862 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 8: rounding up and arresting people every day, including today. But 863 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 8: once this appellate ruling came down in April, which really 864 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 8: resulted in three different opinions, so by law then it 865 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 8: has to go to the Supreme Court for clarification. But 866 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,280 Speaker 8: since then, Matthew Graves has basically stopped using that felony 867 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,800 Speaker 8: count against JA sixers. He switched it out to civil 868 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 8: disorder felony because they know that now that the Suppellate 869 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 8: court ruling was so moddeled and it was then presented 870 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 8: to the Supreme Court, and everyone has expected the Supreme 871 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 8: Court to pick this up, even Democratic judges who have 872 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 8: allowed discount to go forward, they knew this was coming. 873 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 8: So the mere fact that Matthew Grace has stopped using 874 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 8: that count is very telling. But more so it shows 875 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 8: the arrogance of Jack Smith, who included these two counts 876 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 8: in the four count indictment against Trump in August. 877 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 4: Okay, so that's where I want to go to. 878 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this now, Julie and saying, I don't 879 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: see any way possible this trial starts on March fourth, 880 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,359 Speaker 1: because half of the charges that Jack Smith is now 881 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: trying to bring against Donald Trump may get thrown out 882 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,240 Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court. I could see potentially Jack Smith 883 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: trying to prosecute only two of the four charges now, 884 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: or having to acknowledge that he has to wait to 885 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 1: see if he can still bring all four. Do you 886 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: agree with me that March fourth feels out the window 887 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: what happens now? 888 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 8: Absolutely, this is just another nail in a coffin for 889 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 8: this rushed March fourth trial date in Washington related to 890 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 8: the events of January sixth. Of course, we already see 891 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 8: what he did this week, a desperate attempt to leap 892 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 8: frog the Appellate court force the Supreme Court to weigh 893 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,280 Speaker 8: in on this presidential immunity claim me by Donald Trump 894 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 8: that he is immune from prosecution based on being the president. 895 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 8: That we don't criminally indict presidents, especially after they leave office, 896 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 8: and he had already been impeached, which is basically the 897 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 8: criminal justice process in Congress. So aside from that, that's 898 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 8: very uncertain as well. But I feel like this is 899 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 8: even more important because this issue could be resolved sooner 900 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 8: than the executive and presidential immunity issues. Scotus could refuse 901 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 8: to take up this emergency order by Jack Smith, take 902 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 8: it back to the Appellate Court, and that could take 903 00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 8: weeks or months before they come to a conclusion. But 904 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 8: in this case, we know for sure the Supreme Court 905 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 8: is taking it up oral arguments. I'm told by my 906 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 8: sources could happen in March or April, this is when 907 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 8: Trump is supposed to be on trial for this very count, 908 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 8: and then in June, the Supreme Court would issue their ruling, 909 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 8: presumably a very strong, very strong opinion, vacating this appelic 910 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 8: court ruling and interpreting the statute the right way that 911 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 8: could be. Let's say that the March fourth, date six, 912 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 8: he's convicted of fifteen twelve Seed two and the other 913 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 8: fifteen twelve count, and in June, Judge chucktan is supposed 914 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 8: to be sentencing him, but the Supreme Court comes back 915 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 8: and overturns the OJ's use of it. I mean, this 916 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 8: is the sort of collision course we're talking about. So 917 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 8: what is Jack Smith going to do now? Will he 918 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 8: drop those two counts and supersede, which we've talked about, 919 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 8: I think for over a year at a superseding indictment 920 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,240 Speaker 8: that adds different charges so he can cover his bases, 921 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 8: or will he go back to the court. I'm sure 922 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 8: Trump's lawyers are working on this. I've already seen at 923 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 8: least one j six defendant today ask for delay and 924 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 8: sentencing on this count. Will Jack Smith go back and 925 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 8: tell the court we need to put this on hold 926 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 8: because of the uncertainty of this count. I doubt it, 927 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 8: but you know, these are the open ended questions that 928 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 8: we're dealing with right now. 929 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,760 Speaker 6: Speaking of Julie Kelly, her substack is declassified. 930 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 3: Go subscribe to it. 931 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 6: I mean, Julie, do you feel like I'm just wondering. 932 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 2: I know this isn't the most specific legal analysis, but 933 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 2: the Democrat system where the apparatus is just going to 934 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 2: refuse to allow Trump to get through all of this, 935 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: meaning it's either all delayed or on a you know 936 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like, is there some other thing that 937 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 2: you can see looming in the background here, or is 938 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 2: it really possible that Trump might end up not even 939 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,439 Speaker 2: facing either of these federal trials before the people cast 940 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,439 Speaker 2: their vote, Like, how do you see this playing out? 941 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 8: It's such a good question because we also have the 942 00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 8: May twenty trial date that's still sort of out there 943 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 8: for the classified documents case. Now, in that situation, we 944 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 8: have Judge Aileen Cannon, who has been very tough on 945 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 8: DJ and she actually suspended all the pre trial deadlines 946 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 8: leading up to that May twentieth trial date. She confronted 947 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 8: Jack Smith's team I was in the courtroom saying, you 948 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,280 Speaker 8: can't assure me that the March fourth trial for Donald 949 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 8: Trump is going to be completed by the time he 950 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 8: is expected to be here in Florida on May twentieth. 951 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 8: For this indictment. You chose to bring these indictments back 952 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 8: to back. You knew they were going to be in 953 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 8: different venues, so she's already kind of called them on 954 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 8: the carpet. So let's even imagine the judge or Jack Smith, 955 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 8: or because of the Supreme Court, they kicked this Washington 956 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 8: January sixth trial to what April May? The classified documents 957 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 8: trial will be gone. Then it will be after the election. 958 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 8: There's no way that they can move forward with that. 959 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 8: But do they have the hubris, the arrogance, the bloodlust 960 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 8: to just keep pushing this no matter what they do? 961 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 8: I will tell you that they do. They will go 962 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 8: to any extreme possible to make sure that Donald Trump 963 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 8: is on trial this spring and to get a conviction. 964 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 8: But it certainly has other ramifications. And at what point 965 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 8: what's the breaking point? You know, you guys, at what 966 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:21,439 Speaker 8: point do any Democrats or legal organizations or anyone say 967 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 8: this is enough. You've pushed this as far as you 968 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 8: can go. Now you're going into headwinds at the highest 969 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 8: court in the land, like, what are you doing this for? 970 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 3: Crazy people? 971 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but even with this case, I mean, they could 972 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: not release an opinion until June, which would mean you 973 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 1: couldn't start till probably you know you're going to have 974 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: to sit for the jury.
