CLAY: We’re talking about a major acknowledgment that the Hunter Biden laptop was actually real. Oh, yeah, all of you knew that that was true, ’cause you actually have functional brains. The New York Post broke the story 18 months ago.

But now the New York Times writing about the Hunter Biden investigation confirms that all of the emails are real, and this was a question that Donald Trump — chalk up another one that President Trump was right about — was demanding why 60 Minutes was not investigating this.

This was Trump with Lesley Stahl. This was his conversation just a couple of weeks, if I remember correctly, before the election. Listen to this.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Take a look at what’s going on, Lesley. And then you say that —

STAHL: I think…

PRESIDENT TRUMP: It’s the biggest scandal out there, Lesley.

STAHL: And you think it’s the biggest issue to campaign on?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: I think it’s — I think it’s one of the biggest scandals I’ve ever seen, and you don’t cover it. You won’t talk about it.

STAHL: Well, because it can’t be verified —

PRESIDENT TRUMP: You want to talk about insignificant things.

STAHL: I’m telling you —

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Of course it can be verified. Excuse me. They found the laptop. Lesley, listen.

STAHL: Can’t be verified.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: What can’t be verified?

STAHL: The laptop.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Why do you say that? Even the family has — the family, on the laptop, he’s gone into hiding. For five days he’s gone into hiding.

STAHL: He’s preparing for your debate.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Oh, it’s taken him five days to prepare. I doubt it. I doubt it.

BUCK: Was that all aired originally? I feel like that was some of the full interview ’cause I think that edited that. I remember hearing a different — am I crazy in thinking that was even more extensive there? She just did the, “No, we can’t verify it,” the last time around.

CLAY: Yeah, the Trump people — and I would encourage every Republican that’s running for significant office that’s being covered by the media, what Trump did is they recorded that 60 Minute interview themselves, instead of just letting 60 Minutes record what they wanted Trump to be saying and play it as a part of their interview, they recorded the whole thing.

In addition to Trump saying Clinton spied on his campaign, Stahl also responded thusly when Trump broached Hunter Biden in this interview.
Stahl: “Because it can’t be verified.”
Trump: “Of course it can be verified…Leslie, they found a laptop”
Stahl: “It can’t be verified” https://t.co/3IFM6kwHHg

And there’s so much dishonesty in media now that I would encourage — and, by the way, it’s not just politicians.
If you’re listening right now and you’re running a company and somebody from the media is going to interview you on a variety of different subjects, I’d do this. I — Buck, I’ll do either live, hey, you want to have me on live, boom, everything that I say goes out or I’m recording every single thing that we say.

I did this most recently when the Washington Post tried to blow me up. Of course they came after me. This was right before the election in 2020. They had to issue corrections on the quotes because I transcribed. I had the entire thing taped, and I had a court stenographer transcribing it. We do it for this show. I don’t trust the media. And I wouldn’t tell you you should. But that’s another thing. Trump is right.

BUCK: Wait, wait. One more thing on this, Clay, real quick. Notice how they’re willing to pretend that they’re really stupid when it serves their needs. Dumber than they actually are in the media. It can’t be verified. What does that mean? First of all, you’re journalists. It’s your job to verify it. Of course it can be verified.

And this would be like saying, it needs more study. We’ll never know the real motives. You know, you’ve got a guy who has a confession that he makes a video before he goes and, you know, kills somebody. We’ll never know the real motive. Maybe he changed his mind afterwards. Maybe he was posed by a demon. I mean, this is them pretending to be — Lesley Stahl pretending that she’s an utter moron because it was before an election and they needed to make this story go away.

CLAY: And this was around the time that OutKick went to the White House. It’s October 20th, 2020, that that 60 Minutes interviewed occurred. We were there right around that same time doing an interview of Trump right outside the Oval Office there. And the amount of lies that he dealt with in the 2020 campaign and the amount of collusion and putting their thumb on the scale from Big Tech — and really kind of both hands and both feet, you can argue — they basically stood on the scale.
