CLAY: He’s Donald Trump Jr., and I appreciate you taking the time with us. I want to let you tee off right at the top. Hunter Biden’s laptop, the New York Times has announced, is real. If you had done everything that Hunter Biden did based on what was on his laptop, do you believe that you would be imprisoned or facing 800 different felony charges, Donald Trump Jr.?
TRUMP JR: Well, let’s say there’s 50 things on the laptop. If I did one of them, I’d be all of those things.
CLAY: Yeah.
TRUMP JR: Meaning, if I did any one of them —
CLAY: Yeah.
TRUMP JR: — whether it’s the crack on numerous occasions, whether it’s the prostitutes, whether it’s the, essentially, laundering money for the mayor of Moscow’s wife because it was tied to human trafficking and sex trafficking rings, whether our campaign just didn’t come out and say, “Hey, this stuff’s not real.” The Biden administration and their campaign just said nothing. Meaning, if it’s not real, you come out and say, “It’s not real; there’s no truth to any of these things.”
They didn’t have to because the media would do those things for them. The media ran a total cover scam. They knew it was real. They knew all of these things. It didn’t matter. They were able to further their narrative. They pretended it didn’t exist. And we know there’s a significant portion of America that now know these things that said had they known they never would have voted for it.
BUCK: Hi, Don. It’s is Buck. I get the feeling if a shady energy company in Ukraine some years ago had approached you and was like, “We want to give you somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 to $80,000 a month just because we like you so much,” you would have realized, when your dad was president at the time — it would have been Vice President Biden, but nonetheless — that wouldn’t look good. These are things you would never get away and would never do.
TRUMP JR: Yeah. I’d say, there’s plenty of things I said, “Hey, I can’t do that because the optics aren’t right,” even if they’re perfectly legal. Don’t forget, we had a flourishing real estate business across the world prior to entering politics. We didn’t have to stop doing those deals. You couldn’t do deals with foreign governments. But even private developers, we said, “Hey, we’re not going to do any new deals going forward.” We got no credit. It was as though we were making billions from foreign governments, if you listen to the media. We didn’t take a cent from it. (crosstalk)
BUCK: Can I just say, Don, I remember when they did a piece in The Washington Post about —
TRUMP JR. — millions from China —
BUCK: — how the cheeseburgers that diplomats were buying in the Trump hotel were a violation of the emoluments clause, do you remember that one?
TRUMP JR: Oh, I remember it clearly because we probably spent about a thousand X on that in legal and just trying to answer the questions that were put forward to us that we ever could have saved from the stupid cheeseburgers. Minor details. That didn’t matter. When Hunter, with no experience, took a billion from a Chinese investment authority, basically a sovereign wealth fund… They just gave a crack head a billion dollars. I can assure you something: The Chinese government doesn’t give a billion dollars to random strangers — especially those with no investment track record — unless they’re trying to buy something, which of course they were.
CLAY: All right. So here’s the question on the Hunter Biden situation. Buck and I have been debating it. I think that Hunter is going to get indicted and charged with at least one felony. Buck disagrees. We have a fabulous steak dinner bet on this over the next year. Which side of the bet would you like to be on? Would you rather be on my side that he’ll be indicted and charged with at least one felony, or would you rather be on Buck’s side that he’s going to skate?
Now, not even a question. Now, I understand it seems to be part of the Democrat Party platform today, especially as we’re watching these confirmation hearings, to take the side of pedophiles, and to be an apologist for child sex offenders. I get that’s the Democrat… At least the powers that be within the Democrat party platform, I understand that seems to be their position. I don’t know that that’s where all Democrat voters are, but, man, they seem to be going to great lengths to protect pedophiles. No questions about it. So there’s zero chance in my mind that anything will happen. I’ll get in on this bet. I’ll throw in a week of Mar-a-Lago for you guys if I’m wrong.
CLAY: Ah! Well, see Buck’s going to win there. You’re on Buck’s side. By the way, we came down to Mar-a-Lago and had a fabulous time with your dad. He was great with the us the first hour of the show last month. That was both of our first times to be there. It was incredible.
BUCK: Don, Clay and I talk as much as we can just about how you can’t be complacent right now. For people that just want a sane America that functions, that is not the mess that we’ve all… Look. Everyone who is listening now misses your dad. (laughing) They miss what it was like in 2019. They miss what it was like before the Biden regime took over, and I just want to know what you and what those you’re working with are doing to make sure that we get just the biggest mobilization possible for this midterm and send the biggest rebuke we can in advance of the next time we get to pick a president.
TRUMP JR: Yeah. No, a hundred percent. Well, I’m out there fighting every day. And as a former real estate developer from New York City, that’s probably not the greatest business model. But you’ve actually got to fight for the things you believe in. So we’re out there every day. Even as recently as yesterday I launched sort of an app to get news. We’ve seen how badly news is censored these days.
It’s not just what Google, what Big Tech wants you to see. It’s a free app available for everyone else that will give you a chance to actually see the news that’s out there so you can get stories like the Hunter Biden laptop, so you can get stories like the Durham Report. Another big one, right? Where is Bob Woodward saying that this is bigger than Watergate? They were spying on the sitting President of the United States, and he’s total MIA. If Donald Trump tweeted “Merry Christmas” in the last five years, that was a story that was bigger than Watergate, according to Bob Woodward.
BUCK: I remember the ice cream scoops! The ice cream scoops were out of control.
TRUMP JR: Two scoops!
CLAY: By the way, your app is number one right now on magazines and news as we speak. So for people out there who are interested in MxM News, you can search that out.
TRUMP JR: Yes, MxM, 100 percent. We’re just trying to… If they’re saying we have to create these things ourselves I’d love to be able to say that, “Everyone gets to play fairly,” but we understand we’re constantly working at a deficit. We have to overcome a lot. When you think about it, Buck, and Clay, when elections are won by basis points these days and yet we’re working against a trillion dollars in mainstream media against us, a trillion-dollar corporate juggernaut of Big Tech, multi-trillion dollar, same thing in social media?
You have multiple trillion-dollar industries working against anyone who is even nominally conservative, and they’re still close. I think if we can get the real message out there, if we can get real stories out there — and if we can actually pressure some Republicans to grow a pair every once in a while and actually fight for things that we believe in — there’s no reason we shouldn’t be a dominant force in the future of politics. I’m watching sort of the hills to die on for the left, and I’m saying, “Man, I don’t think they’re in touch with the rest of America,” and they’re not. But it’s easy to manipulate that when you control all the information that’s getting out there, so we’ve got to take that back.
TRUMP JR: I imagine they end up in a primary. He’s a 50-year creature of the Senate; these guys go for reelection. I thought he was incapable of running the last time. But he didn’t have to run. He could sit in the basement. They did the running for him. They covered up the nonsense. They made it seem like he was this great statesman. “The adults are back in the White House,” guys. How is that working out for you? It seems wonderful.
Inflation’s through the roof. They’re literally rationing gas where we are, down here even in Florida, already. Prices are through the roof with that. We’re on the brink of World War III. China’s flying sorties over Taiwan. That’s the next one to fall. You have the disaster in Afghanistan where our woke military, they are too busy worried about their freakin’ pronouns to actually maybe get American civilians out before the troops.
And then they leave $86 billion worth of equipment for the Taliban and biometric standards to make sure that they can root out all the people that may have been fighting against them for the last 20 years! These are brilliant people. It’s a scary thing. The only thing I’m shocked at is I did not think that they would be able to destroy America so quickly.
BUCK: Good point.
TRUMP JR: It’s Democrat policy. That’s a big distinction we have to make. Everyone is, Joe Biden this… No one believes Joe Biden is capable of making actual decisions. And even if he was, I don’t think that anyone looks at Joe Biden and says he really believes this sort of new-age Democrat mantra, whether it’s… All of it. No one thinks that. This is Democrat policy. It’s being enacted.
It took our country from a thriving economy to a disaster in less than a year, and it’s only going to get worse. We still have three more years to go of this presidency. So just remember that. You can’t use Joe Biden as a scapegoat. Don’t let the Democrats get away with it. This is what they want. These are their ideas. These are their policies. We need energy. So we’ll get it from Iran.
BUCK: Donald Trump, Jr.
CLAY: Fantastic as always. (chuckles) I’m disappointed to hear that you’re going to be on the Buck side of the steak bet there. We will talk to you again soon. Hopefully you can buy me a steak next time you see me.
TRUMP JR: I’ll look forward to it, man. Be well.
BUCK: (chuckling)
CLAY: Thanks, Don.
