I don't care what 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 4: you did, but I just I know, I just don't 31 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 4: do that. It takes a lot to put me in 32 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 4: a monkey suit to go to you know, formal attire 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 4: to go to some you know, hoity toity dinner, let 34 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 4: alone put on a monkey suit and go to a 35 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 4: you know, a party or something. So that's just not 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 4: gonna happen. So that's number one. Oh, by the way, 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 4: I'll tell you a quick story before my wife starts listening. 38 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: So last night, friends want to go to dinner Halloween 39 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 4: Halloween night, right, So they want to go to dinner. 40 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 4: If they want to go to dinner at four o'clock. 41 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 4: Now I'm like, I don't care. If that's what they 42 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 4: want to do, well, we'll meet some place at four o'clock. 43 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 4: So we go to go to this no Italian place 44 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 4: and we have dinner at four o'clock in the afternoon. 45 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 4: And about halfway through through dinner, because normally with this couple, 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 4: we'll go to dinner, you know, between five and five 47 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: thirty normally. I know that's still early for some of you, 48 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 4: but when you get to be my age, you want 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 4: to have dinner early. And I finally said, why do 50 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: we do dinner at four o'clock? And without any hesitation, 51 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 4: in a nato second, she speaks up and says, because 52 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: it's Halloween. And I kind of looked at him, like, so, well, 53 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: we got to get home for the trick or treaters, 54 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: We got to put our costumes on, so when we 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 4: can greet the trick or treaters. And you know, well, 56 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 4: I sound like I really do sell like the curmudgeon. 57 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 4: I really am Clint Eastwood, get off my lawn. But 58 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, so this is why we're having dinner 59 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: at four oclock so you can run home, change into 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 4: a costume and hand out, you know, candy to rug 61 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 4: rats that they don't care what you look like. All 62 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 4: they care about is what do you have in your hand? 63 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 4: Do you have a really good you know, candy bar 64 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: for me? Or do you are you gonna get me out? 65 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 4: You know? And she worked for it. She's a d 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 4: dental hygienis by profession. Are you gonna have me a 67 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 4: tube of toothpaste? Which is it? That's all they care 68 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 4: about and it's onto the next house. They don't care 69 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: at all. They don't care one iota. They just want 70 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: the candy to move on. And so my wife, as 71 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 4: we were getting ready to leave, said, I think what 72 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna do this year is I'm just gonna put 73 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 4: this bowl of candy out on the front deck, the 74 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 4: front porch. And she got mad at me, which is 75 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: not unusual, because I said, well, why would you do that? 76 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: Because some teenager's gonna come along and just dump the 77 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: whole bowl into his sack and move along, and then 78 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: nobody else is gonna get any Aren't you going to 79 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: be a good socialist and spread out the candy to 80 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: you know, different people? You're gonna let one person grab 81 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: it all? And she thought about it for a second, 82 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: kind of got mad at me because I think she 83 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 4: knew I was telling you the truth. And then she said, 84 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 4: we'll do this. Turn the porch light off, so now 85 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: four o'clock it's still light outside. But because we have 86 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 4: an automatic we have this automatic lighting system, she said, 87 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: turn it off, so won't come on. Okay, Well, I 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: thought that not having your light on was the sign 89 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 4: that you weren't giving out candy. So we come home. 90 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 4: I we get back from dinner, turn off the porch light. 91 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 4: Of course, I checked the bowl, nobody's picked up anything, 92 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: and then I turned the light off. This morning, the 93 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: dogs get up their usual four to thirty five o'clock 94 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: in the morning to go for a walk, and so 95 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: I open the garage door and I go around the 96 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 4: corner and there's the bowl. Hasn't been touched. It hasn't 97 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 4: been touched at all. So turning the light off because 98 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 4: she didn't want the dog's barking and all that, and 99 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: the bowl was out there. I said to her this morning, 100 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to start an argument, I really am not. 101 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 4: But when you put it in a dark like solid bowl, 102 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: one of those wooden bowls, and you dump it in there, 103 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 4: and then you put it up on the porch and 104 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: then you turn the light off, kids who are down 105 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: on the sidewalk aren't going to walk up because the 106 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 4: lights off because they can't see the bulls. They're they're 107 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: not gonna pick up the candy. So now I've got 108 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 4: a like bags and bags of candy that she's She 109 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: said to me this morning, Uh, could you take to 110 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: Can you take the studio on Monday? I'm like, yes, 111 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 4: they're all pigs. He'll be gone within an hour, So 112 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: I'll take it to the studio on Monday. So it's Halloween weekend, 113 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: but that's only half the reason that it's the worst 114 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 4: weekend of the year. It's also the end of daylight 115 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: saving time. It amazes me. You know, we talk a 116 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 4: lot about eighty twenty issues, or I don't talk a 117 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 4: lot about eighty twenty issues, but Donald Trump, the President 118 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: of the United States of America, talks a lot about 119 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: eighty twenty ninety ten issues and how the American people 120 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: are behind this or that. Well, my own internal poll says, 121 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 4: this is a stupid idea. It was born in an 122 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: agrarian society. We don't really need this anymore. You don't 123 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 4: really save any time. You just shift the clock a 124 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: little bit. So if you want to shift the clock, wuon, 125 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: don't you just shift it? Which every way you want 126 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: to shift it. I don't care if you want to 127 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 4: go back to standard time or stay on Saving time. 128 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: I don't care. Just stop changing the clock. That's all 129 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 4: I ask. It's all I ask, very simple things. I 130 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 4: don't ask for a lot, but I do ask for that. 131 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: So this is the worst weekend of the year. Now, 132 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: if you think there's another weekend, that's the worst weekend 133 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: of the year. Three three one zero three keyword micro Michael, 134 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: I'd like to know. I'd like to compare notes because 135 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 4: I think I'm right and you're wrong. So let's get started. 136 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 4: The big news this week, at least I think it's 137 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 4: big news, is the release of even more documents related 138 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 4: to that criminal investigation that's called Arctic Frost. Have you 139 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 4: not surely you've heard of this. If you haven't, then 140 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 4: you got to pay attention. It's an investigation. It's a 141 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: criminal investigation. I want to make sure I emphasize that enough. 142 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: This is a criminal investigation being conducted by the Deputy 143 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: Attorney General Lisa Monico under Joe Biden. So this is 144 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 4: not just some little like we're in. We're you know, 145 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 4: investigating you know, a drug dealer. We're not investigating the mafia. 146 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 4: We're not investigating you know, somebody that's you know, traffic 147 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 4: in humans or whatever. No, we're investigating the president of 148 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 4: the United States, a former president at the time, the 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 4: leading candidate to be the next president. Because this was 150 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 4: opened in twenty twenty two, and it was a criminal investigation. 151 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 4: And I'm going to emphasize that because of some details 152 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 4: in just a second. So we now have an internal 153 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: Department of Justice memo that Congress got a hold of. 154 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 4: The House Judiciary Committee, I'm sorry, Senate Judiciary Committee got 155 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: a hold of this memo and it details the absolute 156 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: ridiculous basis of the investigation. Quote. Following the twenty twenty 157 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: presidential and vice presidential election, in an apparent effort to 158 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: obstruct Congress's certification of the Electoral College, fraudulent certificates of 159 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: electors were submitted to the Archivist of the United States, 160 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 4: purporting to represent the actual elector votes from the states 161 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, in Wisconsin. According to this 162 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 4: memo that was written by the former FBI director Christopher Ray, 163 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 4: it was that pretext which is a false pretext, but 164 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: in it not only in addition to being a false pretext. 165 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: It ignores that Democrats have for decades submitted alternate roles 166 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 4: of electors when it comes to counting the electoral College vote. 167 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 4: It's just a pro forma thing that they just routinely 168 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 4: do every year. But when Republicans do it and when 169 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: Donald Trump do it, oh my god.

And notice I say daylight saving time, because 187 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 4: if I say daylight saving time like everybody else does, 188 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 4: then somebody will correct me and say, oh no, no, no, 189 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 4: it's daylight saving time. Okay, fine, fine, settle down, change 190 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: your clocks. So I just told you about this memo 191 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 4: about the Arctic Frost investigation. Arctic Frost, and it's a 192 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: criminal investigation. And the pretext that led to this huge 193 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 4: manhunt that involved FBI field offices across the entire country 194 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 4: was the fact that, oh, there were some people that 195 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 4: submitted some ultnate electoral electors to the Electoral College. So 196 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 4: the House Judiciary Committee and then later the Senate Judiciary Committee, 197 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 4: and they all, let's just say they all did, published 198 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 4: a trove of official records and it documents the FBI 199 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: interviews with the targets of this crew criminal investigation. FBI 200 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 4: agent's confrontation with a Trump campaign quarter coordinator, Harrison Floyd 201 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty three is particularly infuriating, as there 202 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 4: are other communications too. And then the Senate Judiciary Committee 203 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 4: released thousands of pages related to nearly two hundred subpoenas. 204 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 4: They were issued by the US Attorney for the District 205 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: of Columbia, Matthew Graves. He's the one who presided over 206 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 4: the first part of the investigation that was then handed 207 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: off to Jack Smith, the special counsel. I would remind 208 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 4: you that Jack Smith is the one that went after 209 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 4: Trump down in mar Lago on the Document's case, and 210 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: he's also the same one that the guy that was 211 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 4: brought back from Brussels. He was doing some special project 212 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 4: in Brussels. He was brought back specifically to target and 213 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 4: prosecute Donald Trump in the Document's case and in the 214 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: January sixth case. Point that out because Jack Smith has 215 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 4: a horrible reputation. I want to say that he has 216 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: one hundred maybe it's ninety five percent, but whether it's 217 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 4: ninety five percent or one hundred percent, it's bad. He 218 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: has that kind of a record when it comes to 219 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: being overturned. In other words, he'll get a conviction, and 220 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: somewhere between let's say ninety five and one hundred percent 221 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 4: of the convictions that he gets are ultimately overturned by 222 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: an appellate court or the US Supreme Court. The guy 223 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: cuts corners. He he overzealously represents his clients. I would 224 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 4: like to say that he lies, cheats, and steals, but 225 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 4: I won't say that. Let's just say that he cuts corners. Okay, 226 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 4: So this is the guy that takes over this criminal investigation. Well, 227 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 4: this week Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and Republican senators 228 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 4: they were all targeted as part of this investigation, held 229 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 4: a press conference in which they expressed their outrage over 230 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 4: these developments. Now, I want to emphasize again this is 231 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 4: a criminal investigation, and as part of the criminal investigation, 232 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 4: they start looking at United States senators. 233 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: So today we're making public new records that I've attained 234 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 3: through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. One hundred and ninety seven 235 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 3: subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These 236 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: subpoenas were issued to thirty four individuals. 237 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 4: Got that almost two hundred subpoenas, but not to two 238 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 4: hundred people, to thirty four people. 239 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: And one hundred and sixty three businesses, including financial institutions. 240 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: And one of the points of contact on many of 241 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: these subpoenas was that person I previously named Special Agent 242 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: Walter Gerdino. The subpoena requested records and communications related to 243 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: over four hundred and thirty individual and organizations, all of 244 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: them appear to be aimed at Republicans. A subpoena to 245 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: Event Strategies requested records relating to Turning Point USA and 246 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: the Republican Attorney General's Association. One subpoena to Apple sought 247 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: records relating to Trump and the January sixth prison choir. 248 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Earlier this year, I obtained emails between and among J. P. Cooney, 249 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: one or Jack Smith's prosecutors. That email exchange was March 250 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three about a partisan news article on January sixth, 251 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: and this is what Cooney said in the email. Can 252 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: we do some work to nail down Trump's role in this? 253 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: Perhaps with the same process on ed Henry's LLC end quote. 254 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: Just the next month, April twenty twenty three, Jack Smith 255 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: and his team subpoenaed Apple for records relating to the 256 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: very issue. A subpoena to an individuals sought records and 257 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: communications with quote any member, employee, or agent of the 258 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: legislative branch of government end to quote. Another subpoena to 259 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: an individual SI sought records relating to communications with media 260 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: companies such as CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Sinclair, 261 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: and others. Other subpoenas to a bank, individual and businesses 262 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,479 Speaker 1: sought records relating to White House advisors Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, 263 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: Jared Kushner, and Lara Trump. Some subpoenas to individuals and 264 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: businesses sought statistical data and analysis relating to donors and 265 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: fundraising efforts. Artige Frost was the vehicle by which FBI 266 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican 267 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: political apparatus. Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this 268 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: was clearly a expedition. If this had happened to Democrats, 269 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: they'd be as rightly outraged as we are outraged. We're 270 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: making these records public in the interests of transparency and 271 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: so that the American people can draw their own conclusions. 272 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 4: Now, a separate series of releases that were posted Thursday 273 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 4: give us even more legal in court records, including a 274 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 4: non disclosure agreement approved by Judge Boseburg. That's the Obama 275 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 4: point in chief of the DC District Court prohibiting Verizon 276 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 4: from telling Republican senators and one member of Congress about 277 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 4: the subpoena for their own cell phone activity that judge 278 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 4: needs to be impeached. I'll be right back. 279 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director of 280 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: talk show host Michael Brown. 281 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: Brownie, No, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job. 282 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 4: The Weekend with Michael Brown. Welcome back The Weekend with 283 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 4: Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me. Appreciate you 284 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: tuning in. We're talking about this Arctic Frost investigation that 285 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 4: was undertaken during the Biden administration that focus on trying 286 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 4: to criminalize activity pure political activity engaged in by Donald 287 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 4: Trump his campaign. But said just set that aside for 288 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: a moment, because you know that horse has been beat 289 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: to death a thousand times. What I want to focus 290 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 4: on here is that Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, the 291 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 4: dirt bag in my opinion, also served as subpoena not 292 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: just on Verizon and Apple, but served a subpoena on 293 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 4: AT and T seeking phone records for members of Congress, 294 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 4: one of whom just happened to be Texas Senator Ted Cruz. 295 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 4: But to their credit, now listen closely to their credit 296 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 4: AT and T pushed back and said, no, we don't 297 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 4: think this is legitimate. We are going to protect those records. 298 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 4: And so no, we're not going to do it. And 299 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 4: so what happened. Jack Smith knew that he was overreaching, 300 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 4: so he backed off too. A similar letter from Verizon 301 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 4: explaining why they did comply with both the subpoena and 302 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 4: the non disclosure order, because remember, Judge Bobert, Bobert, I'm 303 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 4: thinking about somebody else. Judge Boseburg is the one that 304 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 4: signed a non disclosure order that said you cannot disclose 305 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: to the individual that you know. For example, let's say 306 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 4: that Jack Smith was coming after my mobile phone. He 307 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 4: was coming after my cell phone and the metadata and 308 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 4: the calls and the records on my phone. This order 309 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 4: that was ordered by Judge Boseburg would not allow me 310 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 4: to know that there was a subpoena out there from 311 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 4: my carrier asking for my records. What are you trying 312 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 4: to hide? And why is Boseburg who serves Remember he's 313 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 4: also a member of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the 314 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 4: PFIZA Court, and he's the one that approved the faulty subpoenas, 315 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 4: the faulty wire taps based upon that stupid dossier, the 316 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 4: Steele dossier that lied and was based on all falsehoods 317 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: about Donald Trump to begin with, This is the exact 318 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 4: same judge, which is why I say Congress needs to 319 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 4: impeach this particular judge. He is a rogue judge acting 320 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: beyond the parameters of the law. But the issue about 321 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 4: the non disclosure order for the AT and T subpoena 322 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 4: was moot because Smith had already backed off the request. 323 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: But the matter is not moot among Republican lawmakers who 324 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 4: are again demanding that Boseburg be impeached, as I believe 325 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: that he should. 326 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 2: Judge Bosberg gave a speech about how he was going 327 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: to ForwArt the Trump agenda before he got those cases. 328 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: He was not the assignment judge at the DC courts 329 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: have a daily assignment judge. He wasn't the assignment judge. 330 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 2: He's on vacation. Somehow gets these cases at one in 331 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: the morning. Was he tipped off? Did somebody tell him 332 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: these cases against President Trump and his agenda now we're coming. 333 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: I don't know, we should find that out. But Judge 334 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 2: Boseberg that what he did to President or what he 335 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: did to Senator Cruz and maybe other senators. Absolutely, and 336 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: I don't say this slightly. Absolutely is worthy of impeachment proceedings. 337 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: There has to be accountability. The American people have heard 338 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: a lot about this, and you're going to hear more. 339 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: We should have Watergate style hearings on this for months. 340 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: If we're ever going to root this out, we have 341 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: to be serious about it, and consequences have to follow. Resignations, firings, 342 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 2: criminal prosecutions. You simply can't in this country use the 343 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: justice system to throw people in jail because they have 344 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 2: a red jersey on or a blue jersey on. 345 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 4: Absolutely, Now, impeachment does not start in the Senate. The 346 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: House will have to do that. Now. This entire story, 347 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 4: I have to admit, completely bypassed me the last few months. 348 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 4: Three Democrat judges on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals 349 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 4: recently decided that Judge Boseburg violated provisions of the Stored 350 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 4: Communications Act stored as in you go store something, the 351 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 4: Stored Communications Act. That law regulates the government's access to 352 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 4: private customer data held by any electronic communications company like 353 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: AT and T, Verizon or T Mobile or any of 354 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 4: these others offshoots and Under that law, a judge has 355 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: to find he is required to find that one of 356 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 4: five factor applies before he can grant a non disclosure 357 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 4: order that would prevent AT and T, Verizon or T 358 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 4: Mobile or any other provider from informing their customers about 359 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 4: the requests for their data. And a non disclosure order 360 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 4: can only be entered if noticed to the customer would 361 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: result in endangering the life or physical safety of an 362 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 4: individual or risking flight from prosecution. Do you really think 363 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 4: that a member of the United States Senate or a 364 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 4: member of Congress is going to jump on a plane 365 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: and opscotch it down to I don't know, Caracas with 366 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 4: Maduro or Havana with Castro, or to Beijing with Suijinping. No, 367 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 4: I don't think so. So that doesn't apply either, or 368 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 4: that the destruction or tampering with the evidence. Do you 369 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 4: think that now some Democrats, I might say, yes, tend 370 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: to be fair. Maybe a Republican would, but I can't 371 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 4: think of any if there is a fear of the 372 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 4: destruction or tampering with evidence. In other words, this judge 373 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 4: would have to find, in order to issue a non 374 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 4: disclosure order that he believes that a sitting United States 375 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 4: senator would destroy or tamper with the evidence. I think 376 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: that's a stretch. And then intimidation and potential witnesses. In 377 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 4: other words, Judge Boseburg would again have to find that. Oh, 378 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: I think that Ted Cruz or any other US senator 379 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: or congressman would try to intimidate a witness. I just 380 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 4: find that freaking hilarious. Now I know a senator comes 381 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: to me and tries to intimidate me because I'm going 382 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 4: to testify about something, either in a court of law 383 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 4: or before Congress. You don't think I'm going to screen 384 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 4: this over the radio as loudly as I can. This 385 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 4: judge is nuts. And then the last factor is this 386 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 4: or it might seriously jeopardize an investigation, or it might 387 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 4: delay a trial. Well, no trial dates been set. And 388 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 4: how does it jeopardize an investigation? Oh, it may let 389 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 4: you know that Jack Smith, in investigating Donald Trump, is 390 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 4: now investigating me. I might jeopardize the case because I 391 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 4: might go public with that now if that's what he 392 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 4: relied on. But we don't know what he relied on. 393 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 4: He just found that a non disclosure order was appropriate. 394 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 4: The determinations that I'll call it an NDO as opposed 395 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 4: to a non disclosure agreement. This is a non disclosure order. 396 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: Those are supposed to be decided on a case by 397 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 4: case basis. But in a criminal investigation that is under seal, 398 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 4: the US Attorney Graves sought a broad indo they would 399 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 4: apply to any subpoena issued in that investigation targeting two 400 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 4: unknown individuals. So his own request, the US Attorney's own 401 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 4: requests for an NDO clearly violated the terms of the law, 402 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 4: but Boseberg didn't. The judge didn't care about that, so 403 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 4: he entered a so called omnibus indo in twenty twenty four. 404 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 4: Now when X formerly Twitter, when they received the subpoena 405 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: and the non disclosure order, they immediately went to court 406 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 4: and they appealed Boseberg's non disclosure order and then X 407 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 4: noted the quote potentially retaliatory nature close quote of the investigation, 408 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: which even raised more questions about the Department of Justice motivation. 409 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 4: And if you remember, the Daily Wire disclosed last year 410 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 4: that one of the individuals targeted in the investigation was 411 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: Kyle Saraphin. That's the FBI whistleblower. They was trying to 412 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: tell everybody what was really going on. Nobody was paying 413 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 4: the attention to him. But it's also a good reminder 414 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 4: of the even dirtbags have rights. Even if you think 415 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 4: these senators are dirt bags, they have rights well. In 416 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 4: a unanimous opinion published last month, a three judge panel 417 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: overturned the non disclosure order and so doing the court 418 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 4: said this, the court judge Boseburg did not comply with 419 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 4: Section two seven h five B of the Story Communications 420 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 4: Act in this case. In fact, that was a Biden 421 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 4: appointee that slapped him down. They continued, it permitted the 422 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 4: government to apply the non disclosure order prospectively in the 423 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 4: future to unidentified as of yet an unidentified subpenis, and 424 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 4: to apply the non disclosure order to subpoenas directed at 425 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 4: a wide and unpredictable range of accounts. Now, just to 426 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 4: give you the full flavor of this, the whole issue 427 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 4: is now moot since the court. The Court has vacated 428 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 4: the non disclosure order after ex filed their appellate brief, 429 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 4: and Graves the US Attorney is now out, So the 430 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: investigation is moot. But just because it is moot does 431 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 4: not mean that the wrongdoing doesn't need to be held accountable. 432 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 4: And that's why I think that these Senators really need 433 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 4: to persuade their House colleagues to start impeachment investigations and 434 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 4: then hold hearings on this judge and if they find 435 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 4: probable cause that he violated his oath of office, send 436 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 4: articles of impeachment on Judge Boseburg over to the US Senate. 437 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 4: It's been done before. We've had other federal judges impeached 438 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 4: for wrongful behavior down in Florida, but that was for 439 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 4: a bribe. But this I think goes in his crossive 440 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 4: to the Republic and quite frankly, frankly, I think violates 441 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 4: the separation of powers. I'll be right back. So as 442 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 4: I said, I think this is the worst weekend of 443 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 4: the year. Welcome back to the weekend of Michael Brown. 444 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 4: So the other little tidbit i'd throw in is this 445 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 4: our favorite former FBI director who's under criminal investigation, in 446 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 4: or criminal indictment, I should say, in Virginia, James Comy 447 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 4: is starting to file all the motions in his case. 448 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 4: He's trying to disqualify the acting US Attorney for the 449 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 4: Eastern District of Virginia, somebody by the name of Lindsay Halligan, 450 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 4: he's trying to get the case against him dismissed. Thursday 451 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: of this past week, he filed a motion to dismiss 452 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 4: based on quote, fundamental ambiguity and literal truth. Which doesn't 453 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 4: that seem kind of ironic to you? Fundament ambiguity and 454 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 4: literal truth. I don't think he knows how to deal 455 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 4: with e to one of those in a nutshell. He 456 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 4: argues that when Senator Cruz questioned him in twenty twenty, 457 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 4: he was unclear as to what the question was and 458 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 4: that's why he gave a wrong answer. Oh, so you're 459 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 4: admitting that you gave the incorrect answer which led to 460 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 4: your perjury charges, And now you're saying, what's because you 461 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 4: didn't understand the question. That's that's a hill that well, 462 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 4: I'm not even sure the guys that I agema could 463 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 4: plant the flag on that one. But that's what he does. 464 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 4: But when you know, when you're a Clinton person, that's 465 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 4: what you do. You lie about the lie, about the lie, 466 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 4: about the lie. He said that Senator Cruise's questions are 467 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 4: fundamentally ambiguous because people of ordinary intellect would not be 468 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 4: expected to understand that he meant to ask a broad 469 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 4: question about mister Combe's interaction with anyone at the FBI. Oh, 470 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 4: so you're not of ordinary intellect. I thought you were 471 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 4: a superior intellect. Mister Comy. The guy's really an idiot, 472 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 4: and I'm median. You think that maybe his lawyer might 473 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 4: be an idiot too. It's just hilarious to think about. 474 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 3: You know. 475 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: Cruse's presentation admittedly was it was somewhat botched. He referred 476 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 4: to the Clinton administration rather than the more accurate Clinton investigation. 477 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: But it's really hard to swallow. It's hard to believe 478 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 4: that Comy didn't understand to what Cruse was referring because 479 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 4: later in his testimony, Komy clearly said that he did 480 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 4: not authorize anyone at the FBI to leak anything to 481 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 4: the media, and that's the basis of the two charges 482 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 4: against him. So the guy can't have it both ways. 483 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 4: He can't talk about, well, you an ordinary person wouldn't 484 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 4: understand that. Okay, Well, let's be truthful. You're not really 485 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 4: an ordinary person. Number one. You're a lawyer. Now, don't 486 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 4: get me wrong. I'm not saying that lawyers are better 487 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 4: than anybody else, but when you are testifying, you would 488 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 4: think that a lawyer would know how to one listen 489 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 4: to the question, to how to frame your answer, and 490 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 4: three to make sure that you tell the truth so 491 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 4: that you don't perjure yourself. And lawyers are also very 492 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 4: good at If you ask me a question and I'm 493 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 4: under oath and I don't understand the question, even a 494 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 4: first year lawyer, a baby lawyer would know, would you 495 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: repeat the question or explain the question because I don't 496 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 4: understand it. I think most of you would know to 497 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 4: do that. But James call me, oh, I didn't understand 498 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 4: what he was asking. Well, you should have said that 499 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 4: at the time. This shows just how crazy things are gone, 500 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 4: utterly crazy, how things have gotten. So we need to 501 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 4: we need to focus on getting the But let me 502 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 4: back up one side. I want to make one more 503 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 4: point about this past week when it was disclosed the 504 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 4: Department of Justice went after US senators to get the metadata, 505 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 4: and now they claim they claim they weren't looking for 506 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 4: the actual content of the phone calls. They were only 507 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 4: looking for the metadata, which is, you know, the number called, 508 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 4: the time of the call, the length of the call, 509 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 4: the location of the calls, that kind of information. They 510 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 4: claim they weren't looking for the content of the conversation. 511 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 4: I will just tell you, as a matter of experience 512 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 4: as the former under Secretary of Homeland Security, that there 513 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 4: are little torps as I would describe them, that probably 514 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 4: listening right now for all I know that can just 515 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 4: get bored and decide that, you know, I wonder what 516 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 4: Michael Brown's you know, who he's talking to today. Well, 517 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 4: let's just go push this little button here and let's 518 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 4: listen to that phone call. Or let's just go for 519 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 4: the fundul let's see who he's called lately. Let's go 520 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 4: see who he's texting lately. Of course, this is a 521 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 4: way for me to get rid of a lot of 522 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 4: people bugging me on my phone. But the NSSA has 523 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: that power. They don't have that authority. They have to 524 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 4: go through all sorts of hoops to exercise that authority. 525 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 4: But you can't tell me the bored bureaucrat who's sitting 526 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 4: there eating you know, some you know, high carbohydrate lunch 527 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 4: and is about to fall asleep as board to death. 528 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 4: He is like, I just you know, I saw Michael 529 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 4: Brown on the news today. I wonder what he's doing. 530 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 4: Let me just go look, Yes, when you start doing 531 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 4: when one branch of government, the executive branch, literally start 532 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 4: spying on another branch of government. Can you imagine the 533 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 4: outrage if we found out that the Department of Justice 534 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 4: was trying to get the metadata of phone calls from 535 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 4: the Chief Justice of the United States or any of 536 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 4: the Associate Justices. I don't care what side of the 537 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 4: political spectrum they're on. I don't care whether it's you know, 538 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 4: Jackson Brown or or Judge Justice Corsos or Justice Thomas. 539 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 4: I don't care if everybody should be outraged at that. 540 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 4: We just don't do that in this country, or maybe 541 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 4: I should say we shouldn't be doing that in this country. 542 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 4: We're still a constitutional republic. We still have the Constitution, 543 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 4: even though it's like somebody's put a match to the 544 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 4: corner of it. But at some point you and I 545 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 4: have to take steps, whether it's emailing, calling, writing, going 546 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 4: to a town hall meeting, whether it's virtual or in 547 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 4: person or whatever, and demanding of both Democrats and Republicans 548 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 4: that these corosy things that are being done for which 549 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 4: nobody is being held accountable, going all the way back 550 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 4: to I don't care you go back to Hillary Clinton. 551 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 4: It's funny that we would hold Richard Nixon accountable, But 552 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 4: from then on it doesn't seem like we hold anybody accountable. 553 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 4: And I'm kind of tired of that, because it's crossy 554 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 4: to our system. It's crossy to our culture. It's crossy 555 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 4: to our politics. It's crossy to the Constitution, it's grossy 556 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 4: to the rule of law, it is crossy to our 557 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 4: belief in how we function as a society. And in 558 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 4: less and until. I don't care whether they get purpleked. 559 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 4: I don't care whether they get impeached. I just want 560 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 4: some accountability. So on the worst weekend of the of 561 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 4: the year, can I just get trick or treating just 562 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 4: a little bag of accountability. I don't need one of 563 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 4: the big, giant candy bars of accountability. I'll take one 564 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 4: of the little bite sized bars of accountability, just to 565 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 4: show me you're doing something. I'll be back. Don't go away.
