BUCK: Where is the interest in what Hunter Biden was up to when his dad was vice president with regard to China?
CLAY: Amen.
BUCK: Miranda Divine — who we should have on the show, by the way; we’ll invite her on the show this week or next week — from the New York Post, has a book out. Is it Laptop from Hell? Is that what it’s called?
CLAY: I think it’s something like that.
BUCK: Something like that. Laptop from Hell.
CLAY: Laptop from Hell. Sounds like a hell of a story.
BUCK: Yeah, exactly.
CLAY: We texted her.
BUCK: Yeah, we’ll go get her to come on and talk about it. But there’s no interest. Clay, you were on Hannity last night, right?
CLAY: Hannity tonight.
BUCK: Oh, Hannity tonight. You’re on Hannity tonight. I was on last night with our friend Pete Hegseth who was hosting at 7 o’clock. I just would repeat that if you had a Trump kid who was having meetings with senior Chinese Communist Party officials with getting off with tens of millions of dollars and a diamond —
CLAY: $80,000 diamond.
BUCK: — they would be covered it like the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mean, it would be the most urgent national story, selling out our country to the Chinese come to a stop. But, “Oh, it’s just Hunter!” This is what they’ve done with Biden his whole career also, statements that he made, things that he said that would be a huge problem or other politicians. They build this defense of, “Oh, that’s just Joe being Joe.” Why is that the case? Why is that something that we should all concede?
CLAY: It is so infuriating to me, just the lack of basic standards of journalistic decency, right, when it comes to how you’re going to treat members of the president’s family. The idea that Hunter Biden can basically be engaging in what feels like every illegal act known to man, from drug use to prostitution to selling out American interests to China. Everything you can basically imagine if you were coming up with a series of things that you would not want the president’s son or daughter to be involved in.
And you pretend it doesn’t exist for Hunter Biden, while selling the idea that Donald Trump Jr. in particular was doing all of those things. Just think if there had actually been tangible evidence. He met a random Russian, and you would have thought that it was the most important meeting that had ever happened based on the way the media covered it. Imagine if a person from China had given Donald Trump Jr. an $80,000 diamond or offered him tens of millions of dollars to advance Chinese interests.
