1 00:00:04,755 --> 00:00:08,995 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Oldman is a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:21,395 --> 00:00:23,555 Speaker 1: For the second time in three days, there was a 3 00:00:23,675 --> 00:00:27,355 Speaker 1: huge development and the Special Council's investigation of Donald Trump 4 00:00:27,715 --> 00:00:33,835 Speaker 1: of January six, of his coup attempts, of the Trump 5 00:00:33,915 --> 00:00:38,715 Speaker 1: Recounts scam, and of his theft of classified nuclear documents 6 00:00:38,755 --> 00:00:41,515 Speaker 1: and his attempts to keep them as his personal property 7 00:00:41,795 --> 00:00:44,155 Speaker 1: in order to show them to or give them to, 8 00:00:44,675 --> 00:00:48,675 Speaker 1: or sell them to whichever foreign nationals or governments he 9 00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:52,435 Speaker 1: wished to at his version of a Florida Golden Corral 10 00:00:53,315 --> 00:00:58,315 Speaker 1: Mara Lago. There is another new line of investigation from 11 00:00:58,355 --> 00:01:01,475 Speaker 1: the Justice Department this morning, another new set of crimes 12 00:01:01,715 --> 00:01:05,275 Speaker 1: for which Trump maybe in legal jeopardy, another set witnesses 13 00:01:05,515 --> 00:01:09,395 Speaker 1: quizzed and grand jury testimony given. And if you heard 14 00:01:09,435 --> 00:01:14,835 Speaker 1: about any of this, congratulations, Because with CNN leading the way, 15 00:01:14,875 --> 00:01:19,595 Speaker 1: the country's major news websites and other organizations buried this story. 16 00:01:19,635 --> 00:01:24,595 Speaker 1: Behind this uncontrollable masturbatory mountain of both sides, is um 17 00:01:24,595 --> 00:01:27,075 Speaker 1: and what about is um? And proof to they're tough 18 00:01:27,195 --> 00:01:30,875 Speaker 1: on everybody that they have made out of a mole hill. 19 00:01:31,715 --> 00:01:35,755 Speaker 1: CNN did not as much as report last night's special 20 00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:39,235 Speaker 1: Council story, just as it had buried its own Monday 21 00:01:39,315 --> 00:01:42,675 Speaker 1: Special council scoop, because all that would have eaten into 22 00:01:42,715 --> 00:01:47,675 Speaker 1: time better spent softening America's brains by endlessly repeating that 23 00:01:47,715 --> 00:01:52,555 Speaker 1: Trump's personal hands on potential nuclear espionage was exactly the 24 00:01:52,635 --> 00:01:56,355 Speaker 1: same as whoever could have been Biden, could have been 25 00:01:56,395 --> 00:02:00,595 Speaker 1: a staffer, could have been a lawyer, whoever misfiled documents 26 00:02:00,635 --> 00:02:04,795 Speaker 1: that nobody missed but upon discovery were immediately returned to 27 00:02:04,835 --> 00:02:11,675 Speaker 1: the National Archives. The story, the important story about Jack Smith, 28 00:02:11,715 --> 00:02:15,035 Speaker 1: the Special Counsel, was broken by the Washington Post, and 29 00:02:15,075 --> 00:02:19,195 Speaker 1: it is this The Justice Department has subpoenaed multiple Trump 30 00:02:19,235 --> 00:02:22,835 Speaker 1: campaign officials now to answer questions about literally more than 31 00:02:22,875 --> 00:02:27,435 Speaker 1: a dozen, no two dozen categories of information. The newspaper 32 00:02:27,475 --> 00:02:30,915 Speaker 1: has seen this subpoena document and the questions, and probably 33 00:02:30,915 --> 00:02:33,595 Speaker 1: the most important of them, and quoting the Post, one 34 00:02:33,715 --> 00:02:36,835 Speaker 1: part of the four page legal document asks recipients to 35 00:02:36,875 --> 00:02:43,515 Speaker 1: reveal if anyone other than themselves are paying for legal representation, 36 00:02:44,235 --> 00:02:47,075 Speaker 1: and if so, to provide a copy of the retention 37 00:02:47,155 --> 00:02:51,235 Speaker 1: agreement for that legal work. Unquote. This we might call 38 00:02:51,435 --> 00:02:55,275 Speaker 1: the Cassidy Hutchinson question because it gets to the issue 39 00:02:55,315 --> 00:02:59,035 Speaker 1: not just the potential witness perjury for Trump, but of 40 00:02:59,235 --> 00:03:04,115 Speaker 1: subportment of perjury by a witnesses attorney paid for by 41 00:03:04,755 --> 00:03:08,435 Speaker 1: somebody else. You do not have to be a rocket 42 00:03:08,475 --> 00:03:11,555 Speaker 1: and or political scientist to discern that the somebody else 43 00:03:11,555 --> 00:03:14,955 Speaker 1: in this equation is Trump or one of his organizations 44 00:03:15,235 --> 00:03:18,715 Speaker 1: or one of his henchmen. It was January six committee 45 00:03:18,715 --> 00:03:21,915 Speaker 1: witness Hutchinson who revealed that her original Trump supplied attorney, 46 00:03:22,075 --> 00:03:26,275 Speaker 1: Stephan Passantino, explained to her that she could easily say 47 00:03:26,355 --> 00:03:30,595 Speaker 1: she didn't recall something even if she did, even if 48 00:03:30,635 --> 00:03:34,475 Speaker 1: she was under oath, because who's gonna know what you 49 00:03:34,515 --> 00:03:38,435 Speaker 1: can recall? If you are at all a student of 50 00:03:38,475 --> 00:03:41,755 Speaker 1: American presidential scandals. That should have sounded familiar from the 51 00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:45,635 Speaker 1: get go. On marche N seventy three, Richard Nixon, in 52 00:03:45,635 --> 00:03:49,515 Speaker 1: a conversation recorded by the White House taping system, he 53 00:03:49,715 --> 00:03:54,035 Speaker 1: himself activated great move. Dick told my friend John Dene 54 00:03:54,075 --> 00:03:58,115 Speaker 1: that Wen Dean talked to prosecutors. Quote, just be damn 55 00:03:58,195 --> 00:04:01,235 Speaker 1: sure you say I don't remember, I can't recall. I 56 00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:04,755 Speaker 1: can't give any honest answer to that that I can recall. 57 00:04:04,795 --> 00:04:07,955 Speaker 1: But that's it. As John Dene put it the president 58 00:04:07,955 --> 00:04:10,435 Speaker 1: of the United States was coaching him on how to 59 00:04:10,515 --> 00:04:13,955 Speaker 1: commit perjury and get away with it. Within a month, 60 00:04:14,075 --> 00:04:17,475 Speaker 1: Nixon would be coaching others on how to commit perjury 61 00:04:17,515 --> 00:04:22,755 Speaker 1: while testifying against Dean. The subpoena questionnaire reported by The 62 00:04:22,795 --> 00:04:25,635 Speaker 1: Post not only asks recipients, and we don't know how 63 00:04:25,635 --> 00:04:28,995 Speaker 1: many recipients there were quote to reveal if anyone other 64 00:04:29,035 --> 00:04:31,915 Speaker 1: than themselves are paying for legal representation, and if so, 65 00:04:31,995 --> 00:04:34,835 Speaker 1: to provide a copy of the retention agreement for that 66 00:04:34,955 --> 00:04:38,715 Speaker 1: legal work. But they are in short, asking prove Trump 67 00:04:38,755 --> 00:04:42,875 Speaker 1: didn't pay for your attorney. Now if somehow none of 68 00:04:42,915 --> 00:04:46,835 Speaker 1: this is news enough, the Special Counsel is asking witnesses 69 00:04:46,835 --> 00:04:49,235 Speaker 1: whether Trump has paid for their attorneys and is thus 70 00:04:49,275 --> 00:04:53,355 Speaker 1: controlling by proxy what they have testified to or might 71 00:04:53,475 --> 00:04:57,955 Speaker 1: yet testify to. There are those other twenty three or 72 00:04:58,035 --> 00:05:01,435 Speaker 1: more topics in the questionnaire. To again quote the Post, 73 00:05:01,675 --> 00:05:05,995 Speaker 1: the subpoenas seeks any communications or information about Dominion and 74 00:05:06,115 --> 00:05:09,395 Speaker 1: smart mannic to voting technology companies that were subjected to 75 00:05:09,435 --> 00:05:14,155 Speaker 1: a barrage of false conspiracy theories floated by advisers to Trump. 76 00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:17,235 Speaker 1: The subpoena shows the Justice Department is interested in other 77 00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:21,475 Speaker 1: Trump entities besides the Save America Pack, which The Post 78 00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:23,515 Speaker 1: and others reported earlier this year was the subject of 79 00:05:23,515 --> 00:05:28,155 Speaker 1: inquiry by investigators. It seeks all documents and communications related 80 00:05:28,195 --> 00:05:32,275 Speaker 1: to a panoply of other Trump affiliated groups, including the 81 00:05:32,315 --> 00:05:36,675 Speaker 1: Make America Great Again Pack, the Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, 82 00:05:36,835 --> 00:05:40,595 Speaker 1: and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee. Recipients are 83 00:05:40,635 --> 00:05:44,915 Speaker 1: asked to produce documents related to the formation, funding, and 84 00:05:45,195 --> 00:05:48,595 Speaker 1: or use of money of the groups, and to show 85 00:05:48,675 --> 00:05:52,955 Speaker 1: all employment contracts or correspondence with the groups or officials 86 00:05:52,995 --> 00:05:56,875 Speaker 1: affiliated with them. And yes, I'm quoting the Post directly, 87 00:05:56,915 --> 00:05:58,955 Speaker 1: since who knows. By the time you go to their 88 00:05:58,955 --> 00:06:02,835 Speaker 1: website they may have scrubbed this story. You will notice 89 00:06:02,955 --> 00:06:07,395 Speaker 1: in there that the same America Pack is not specified 90 00:06:08,155 --> 00:06:11,635 Speaker 1: in the Post story. It was specified in Monday's report 91 00:06:11,635 --> 00:06:15,515 Speaker 1: about the sweeping expansion of Special Council Smith's investigation. That 92 00:06:15,595 --> 00:06:18,355 Speaker 1: was when CNN revealed that Rudy Giuliani and a host 93 00:06:18,355 --> 00:06:22,315 Speaker 1: of other Trump functionaries had been subpoenaed, demanding they turned 94 00:06:22,355 --> 00:06:24,395 Speaker 1: over to the grand jury what records they had about 95 00:06:24,395 --> 00:06:28,115 Speaker 1: the scam Trump ran after the election. The whole phony 96 00:06:28,275 --> 00:06:33,035 Speaker 1: Save America Pack, the fundraising scheme that tricked thousands, maybe 97 00:06:33,075 --> 00:06:37,115 Speaker 1: millions of Americans into donating into what they thought were 98 00:06:37,155 --> 00:06:41,755 Speaker 1: recounts and legal challenges on behalf of Trump's campaign. This 99 00:06:41,995 --> 00:06:46,275 Speaker 1: is twice in three nights that the Special Council's investigation 100 00:06:46,355 --> 00:06:49,995 Speaker 1: into Trump and everything he did with the documents, with 101 00:06:50,075 --> 00:06:54,635 Speaker 1: the coup, with the election, with the post election fundraising, 102 00:06:54,835 --> 00:06:57,995 Speaker 1: with the smearing of companies and individuals on whom the 103 00:06:58,075 --> 00:07:02,275 Speaker 1: Assinine conspiracy theories of the Trump crime family could be pinned, 104 00:07:02,515 --> 00:07:06,555 Speaker 1: with so much more new Trump Perfect d was expanded 105 00:07:06,555 --> 00:07:09,955 Speaker 1: in terms of its coverage. It is so large now 106 00:07:10,315 --> 00:07:13,435 Speaker 1: that if they indicted and convicted Donald Trump on all 107 00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:17,115 Speaker 1: of it, he would need thirty three more lifetimes before 108 00:07:17,155 --> 00:07:21,675 Speaker 1: he would be eligible for parole. And did you hear 109 00:07:21,715 --> 00:07:27,915 Speaker 1: about it? You did not, because NBC News reported in 110 00:07:28,035 --> 00:07:30,355 Speaker 1: as thin a story as I've ever seen from them, 111 00:07:30,595 --> 00:07:34,995 Speaker 1: and I worked for them for ten years. Quote. Aids 112 00:07:35,115 --> 00:07:38,035 Speaker 1: to Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of 113 00:07:38,035 --> 00:07:41,835 Speaker 1: classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office 114 00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:45,075 Speaker 1: he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a 115 00:07:45,115 --> 00:07:48,395 Speaker 1: person familiar with the matter, like classification level, number and 116 00:07:48,435 --> 00:07:51,635 Speaker 1: precise location of the additional documents was not immediately clear. 117 00:07:51,795 --> 00:07:54,635 Speaker 1: It also was not immediately clear when the additional documents 118 00:07:54,635 --> 00:07:57,875 Speaker 1: were discovered. Too long, didn't read on this. We have 119 00:07:57,995 --> 00:08:01,035 Speaker 1: one source who says more documents were found. Oh, we 120 00:08:01,115 --> 00:08:05,235 Speaker 1: don't know where, we don't know who, and we don't 121 00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:09,035 Speaker 1: know when, and we don't know what they were here, 122 00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:13,435 Speaker 1: Kendallanian and Carol Lee turn that into seven five words 123 00:08:13,475 --> 00:08:15,635 Speaker 1: because we want to put it in the upper left 124 00:08:15,635 --> 00:08:18,555 Speaker 1: hand corner of the website. They just fired the president 125 00:08:18,595 --> 00:08:21,435 Speaker 1: of NBC News yesterday. We don't want to follow him 126 00:08:21,435 --> 00:08:24,235 Speaker 1: out the freaking door. Also, if we put it up 127 00:08:24,235 --> 00:08:26,155 Speaker 1: there in the upper left hand corner, then the New 128 00:08:26,235 --> 00:08:28,995 Speaker 1: York Times can give itself an excuse to put this 129 00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:32,515 Speaker 1: one detail, one source, not their own story, into the 130 00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:36,155 Speaker 1: upper left hand corner of their website, and into two 131 00:08:36,195 --> 00:08:39,195 Speaker 1: of the three boxes in the upper left hand corner 132 00:08:39,275 --> 00:08:42,795 Speaker 1: of its website. And then so the Washington Post itself 133 00:08:42,795 --> 00:08:46,315 Speaker 1: can put it not its own Trump Special council scoop, 134 00:08:46,995 --> 00:08:49,875 Speaker 1: but this thing from NBC. The Post can put it 135 00:08:50,115 --> 00:08:52,835 Speaker 1: in its upper left hand corner and then actually put 136 00:08:52,875 --> 00:08:54,915 Speaker 1: at the top of its opinion list in the upper 137 00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:59,995 Speaker 1: right hand corner an appalling piece by the appalling Rumsfeld 138 00:09:00,115 --> 00:09:04,475 Speaker 1: speechwriter Mark Teason. I mean, who admits today to writing 139 00:09:04,675 --> 00:09:09,995 Speaker 1: reaches for Donald freaking Rumsfeld? Mark Teason The headline, if 140 00:09:10,035 --> 00:09:15,955 Speaker 1: Trump's classified document misshandling was quote irresponsible, so is Biden's. Yeah, 141 00:09:16,035 --> 00:09:19,995 Speaker 1: Trump's document misshandling was not quote irresponsible, it was quote 142 00:09:20,155 --> 00:09:22,755 Speaker 1: when Ethel Rosenberg did the same damn thing in the 143 00:09:22,835 --> 00:09:29,795 Speaker 1: nineteen fifties, we executed her unquote. It does not take 144 00:09:29,875 --> 00:09:33,195 Speaker 1: much to make the American news media stampede. It never 145 00:09:33,315 --> 00:09:37,195 Speaker 1: has lost to the generations who have followed me here 146 00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:41,155 Speaker 1: those who never saw the time when national network television 147 00:09:41,155 --> 00:09:45,475 Speaker 1: news was just ABC, CBS, and NBC coming on for 148 00:09:45,555 --> 00:09:48,955 Speaker 1: half an hour at seven pm each night. Lost to 149 00:09:49,075 --> 00:09:52,075 Speaker 1: all of you was the disquieting reality that if you 150 00:09:52,115 --> 00:09:54,315 Speaker 1: could do a log of each newscast, you would have 151 00:09:54,315 --> 00:09:58,355 Speaker 1: found not only that they had broadcast only the same 152 00:09:58,435 --> 00:10:02,075 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty stories in their twenty two minutes of content, 153 00:10:02,755 --> 00:10:05,995 Speaker 1: with an occasional kicker usive to one of the networks, 154 00:10:06,235 --> 00:10:10,275 Speaker 1: but almost invariably, ABC, CBS, and NBC had broadcast these 155 00:10:10,395 --> 00:10:14,395 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty stories in exactly the same order and 156 00:10:14,435 --> 00:10:18,515 Speaker 1: allotting almost exactly the same amount of time to each story. 157 00:10:18,795 --> 00:10:23,075 Speaker 1: In fact, if something did not match exactly, each network 158 00:10:23,155 --> 00:10:26,035 Speaker 1: used to have post mortem sessions the next morning, trying 159 00:10:26,035 --> 00:10:30,035 Speaker 1: to figure out why they gave Vietnam a minute seventeen 160 00:10:30,115 --> 00:10:32,755 Speaker 1: last night, but NBC gave it a minute forty six, 161 00:10:32,795 --> 00:10:35,595 Speaker 1: And before noon somebody would have sent a cable to 162 00:10:35,715 --> 00:10:40,955 Speaker 1: Saigon reaming out the bureau chief for missing something, and 163 00:10:40,995 --> 00:10:43,475 Speaker 1: it wasn't. In the dear dead days of Black and 164 00:10:43,475 --> 00:10:46,915 Speaker 1: White TV, I saw it again from the inside in 165 00:10:46,955 --> 00:10:52,475 Speaker 1: the Clinton Lewinsky story. We at MSNBC had staffers on 166 00:10:52,515 --> 00:10:56,075 Speaker 1: the key shows, including my own, whose jobs were to 167 00:10:56,235 --> 00:10:59,475 Speaker 1: watch not their own program while it was on, but 168 00:10:59,555 --> 00:11:03,275 Speaker 1: to watch CNN and Fox, and if they had something 169 00:11:03,315 --> 00:11:07,555 Speaker 1: we didn't, we had to scramble. That producer had to scramble. 170 00:11:07,795 --> 00:11:11,435 Speaker 1: I saw a producer promoted because he realized CNN had 171 00:11:11,475 --> 00:11:15,035 Speaker 1: a different story, and I mean a different, anonymous thread 172 00:11:15,115 --> 00:11:17,595 Speaker 1: with less to it than this other Biden stuff. Found 173 00:11:17,675 --> 00:11:20,595 Speaker 1: one source says, we don't know anything else about it, crap, 174 00:11:21,435 --> 00:11:25,355 Speaker 1: And before my hour was over, this producer who had 175 00:11:25,395 --> 00:11:28,715 Speaker 1: seen this CNN lead, had gotten a guest to say 176 00:11:28,955 --> 00:11:31,075 Speaker 1: more or less the same thing and gotten him into 177 00:11:31,115 --> 00:11:32,715 Speaker 1: a studio and in front of a camera and on 178 00:11:32,755 --> 00:11:35,715 Speaker 1: the show, and the next hour, MSNBC led with this 179 00:11:35,755 --> 00:11:39,315 Speaker 1: story as if it had been its own. The American 180 00:11:39,355 --> 00:11:44,395 Speaker 1: news organizations are repeating the exact same stampede mentality, and 181 00:11:44,435 --> 00:11:47,675 Speaker 1: they are led by a CNN thoroughly corrupted by this 182 00:11:47,795 --> 00:11:51,955 Speaker 1: hatchetman Chris Licked, if you want to know how thoroughly, 183 00:11:52,795 --> 00:11:57,435 Speaker 1: last night CNN stooped to the lowest thing imaginable. They 184 00:11:57,475 --> 00:12:02,075 Speaker 1: brought on Maggie Haberman, Trump's voice inside the New York 185 00:12:02,115 --> 00:12:07,275 Speaker 1: Times to comment on nbase one source no details leak, 186 00:12:07,595 --> 00:12:10,555 Speaker 1: which CNN did not even credit nor blame on NBC 187 00:12:10,715 --> 00:12:14,595 Speaker 1: but claimed as its own. We don't know the details, 188 00:12:14,675 --> 00:12:19,795 Speaker 1: she said, But as I have said here all weeks, 189 00:12:19,795 --> 00:12:21,875 Speaker 1: CNN has jumped the shark on this story, and last 190 00:12:21,955 --> 00:12:25,075 Speaker 1: night they decided they had not done it spectacularly enough, 191 00:12:25,315 --> 00:12:28,115 Speaker 1: so they went back, had Maga Maggie hop on board 192 00:12:28,155 --> 00:12:33,115 Speaker 1: the motorcycle, and they jumped the shark again. And in 193 00:12:33,235 --> 00:12:36,155 Speaker 1: case you are still holding out hope that there is 194 00:12:36,235 --> 00:12:40,395 Speaker 1: some other explanation for what CNN, in particular, but not exclusively, 195 00:12:40,555 --> 00:12:45,195 Speaker 1: is doing, consider this. CNN's lead story at eight pm 196 00:12:45,275 --> 00:12:48,475 Speaker 1: last night was not Biden nor the Washington Post story 197 00:12:48,475 --> 00:12:51,955 Speaker 1: about the widening of the Special Council's investigation, nor its 198 00:12:51,995 --> 00:12:56,075 Speaker 1: own Giuliani Special Counsel story from Monday, CNN at eight 199 00:12:56,075 --> 00:13:01,435 Speaker 1: o'clock lead with George Santos, the congress Man who never was, 200 00:13:02,595 --> 00:13:05,835 Speaker 1: and it not only reduced the story entirely to a 201 00:13:05,875 --> 00:13:09,715 Speaker 1: political horse race, leaving out the damn that is clearly 202 00:13:09,795 --> 00:13:12,595 Speaker 1: waiting to break here. I mean, children can see this, 203 00:13:13,555 --> 00:13:18,315 Speaker 1: the increasingly clear reality that this entire Santos campaign was 204 00:13:18,395 --> 00:13:22,155 Speaker 1: some kind of money laundering effort, and his entire candidacy 205 00:13:22,235 --> 00:13:25,315 Speaker 1: was some sort of scam, and it was organized by 206 00:13:25,635 --> 00:13:29,955 Speaker 1: or at least with GOP knowledge. Not only did CNN 207 00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:33,835 Speaker 1: ignore those elements, it not only had Anderson Cooper fawn 208 00:13:33,955 --> 00:13:36,155 Speaker 1: all over the head of the Republican Party in Santos, 209 00:13:36,235 --> 00:13:38,195 Speaker 1: his own county in New York and actually say to 210 00:13:38,235 --> 00:13:41,915 Speaker 1: the man, of course you didn't know. But when it 211 00:13:41,995 --> 00:13:44,875 Speaker 1: came time to note that, yes, in the history of America, 212 00:13:44,995 --> 00:13:50,395 Speaker 1: other politicians had lied about themselves, Anderson Cooper mentioned exactly 213 00:13:50,435 --> 00:13:54,355 Speaker 1: two of them, herschel Walker, but before herschel Walker, who 214 00:13:54,395 --> 00:13:56,755 Speaker 1: did he mention as a liar in the history of 215 00:13:56,795 --> 00:14:00,555 Speaker 1: American politics, as an embellisher about their own personal histories. 216 00:14:00,635 --> 00:14:07,715 Speaker 1: Who did he mention? You guessed Joe Biden talking about 217 00:14:07,755 --> 00:14:11,715 Speaker 1: speeches he gave while he was campaigning for president In 218 00:14:11,915 --> 00:14:19,555 Speaker 1: Night seven seven Biden story in which the speechwriter Pat Cadell, 219 00:14:19,675 --> 00:14:24,275 Speaker 1: who was later a paid commentator for Fox News, plagiarized 220 00:14:24,395 --> 00:14:29,195 Speaker 1: parts of many other politicians speeches. Caddell did this. He 221 00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:32,595 Speaker 1: wrote the speeches. He did not credit the sources, nor 222 00:14:32,675 --> 00:14:34,915 Speaker 1: did he tell Biden. He just handed him the speeches. 223 00:14:35,995 --> 00:14:39,235 Speaker 1: It is a complicated and nuanced one, and Biden is 224 00:14:39,275 --> 00:14:42,675 Speaker 1: not without some guilt in it. But it centers around 225 00:14:42,795 --> 00:14:46,315 Speaker 1: word for word duplications of the speech of a British 226 00:14:46,595 --> 00:14:51,195 Speaker 1: Labor Party politician named Neil Kinnock. In some of the speeches, 227 00:14:52,035 --> 00:14:55,715 Speaker 1: the words Biden said were quoted and Kinnock was credited 228 00:14:56,115 --> 00:15:01,795 Speaker 1: in others, no quotes, no credit. So CNN's first example 229 00:15:02,315 --> 00:15:06,435 Speaker 1: to compare to George sa Antos, who has lied so 230 00:15:06,515 --> 00:15:13,955 Speaker 1: far about race, religion, high school, college sports, three different employers, eleven, 231 00:15:14,075 --> 00:15:17,875 Speaker 1: the Holocaust, the Pulse shooting, his criminal record, his nationality, 232 00:15:17,955 --> 00:15:23,115 Speaker 1: and his residence. CNNs first camp to that was careless 233 00:15:23,195 --> 00:15:27,915 Speaker 1: crediting of quotations in speeches somebody else wrote for Biden 234 00:15:28,075 --> 00:15:33,155 Speaker 1: thirty five years ago, because this is the both sides 235 00:15:33,275 --> 00:15:37,115 Speaker 1: is um that John Malone bought CNN and hired Chris 236 00:15:37,195 --> 00:15:42,075 Speaker 1: Licked to enact, because the knives are out at CNN, 237 00:15:42,315 --> 00:15:44,875 Speaker 1: and they are out for the President of the United States, 238 00:15:44,915 --> 00:15:48,075 Speaker 1: in order that CNN can now participate in the cover 239 00:15:48,195 --> 00:15:51,715 Speaker 1: up for Donald Trump and the rest of the mindless 240 00:15:51,875 --> 00:15:56,115 Speaker 1: bowls in American political media can stampede as they have 241 00:15:56,275 --> 00:16:19,395 Speaker 1: for generations and will for generations more unless we punish them. 242 00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:21,755 Speaker 1: Still ahead, lost in all this, lost because it is 243 00:16:21,795 --> 00:16:24,355 Speaker 1: now months ago, Lost because he has not been dragged 244 00:16:24,395 --> 00:16:28,835 Speaker 1: by his heels to prison yet. Is just how extreme 245 00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:33,515 Speaker 1: and how extraordinary the document theft by Donald Trump personally 246 00:16:33,875 --> 00:16:39,635 Speaker 1: really is compared to anything else in human history. CNN 247 00:16:39,675 --> 00:16:43,075 Speaker 1: wants to play the what about his game? Let's play 248 00:16:43,155 --> 00:16:46,395 Speaker 1: the what about his game? That's next. This is countdown. 249 00:16:59,675 --> 00:17:01,635 Speaker 1: I had hoped, in this addition, to do a thorough 250 00:17:01,635 --> 00:17:04,635 Speaker 1: analysis of just how many documents were discovered at Meryl 251 00:17:04,715 --> 00:17:11,635 Speaker 1: Logo hidden there by Donald Trump deliberately, personally, maliciously, illegally, 252 00:17:12,435 --> 00:17:14,675 Speaker 1: and how when he was caught, how hard he had 253 00:17:14,675 --> 00:17:16,915 Speaker 1: fought to deny he had done anything wrong, and how 254 00:17:17,075 --> 00:17:20,635 Speaker 1: indignantly he insisted the documents where his and the real 255 00:17:20,755 --> 00:17:26,835 Speaker 1: victim here was as always him. But I find myself 256 00:17:26,875 --> 00:17:30,795 Speaker 1: out over my skis with the sinus now bronchial infection 257 00:17:31,195 --> 00:17:33,075 Speaker 1: that I have mentioned here all weeks. So the full 258 00:17:33,075 --> 00:17:36,235 Speaker 1: analysis is physically impossible at the moment, and that actually 259 00:17:36,275 --> 00:17:38,795 Speaker 1: may be a good thing, because how better to give 260 00:17:38,835 --> 00:17:43,035 Speaker 1: a real time sense of just how guilty Trump is 261 00:17:43,435 --> 00:17:47,675 Speaker 1: and how ludicrous the Biden camp is than to revisit 262 00:17:47,755 --> 00:17:53,555 Speaker 1: in real time the two biggest, almost incomprehensively dangerous days 263 00:17:54,235 --> 00:17:57,875 Speaker 1: of the raid and the investigation at Mari Lago. This 264 00:17:58,115 --> 00:18:14,555 Speaker 1: is from the morning after it happened August nine, did 265 00:18:14,555 --> 00:18:18,835 Speaker 1: the FBI search the toilets at Mari Lago. Facts are few, 266 00:18:18,875 --> 00:18:21,675 Speaker 1: and speculation is mountainous, But the FBI raid of the 267 00:18:21,675 --> 00:18:26,235 Speaker 1: home and office of Trump Donald John hereafter possibly known 268 00:18:26,275 --> 00:18:30,355 Speaker 1: as the Defendant, may wind up being the corrupt presidential 269 00:18:30,395 --> 00:18:34,395 Speaker 1: equivalent of the prosecution and conviction of al Capone, not 270 00:18:34,555 --> 00:18:39,635 Speaker 1: for murder or organized crime, but for tax evasion, two 271 00:18:39,795 --> 00:18:44,795 Speaker 1: important immediate political facts. For all the frenzied crescendos of 272 00:18:45,035 --> 00:18:48,355 Speaker 1: rage from the right, I felt a great disturbance in 273 00:18:48,355 --> 00:18:51,915 Speaker 1: the farce, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out 274 00:18:51,955 --> 00:18:55,115 Speaker 1: in terror and were suddenly silenced. For all that the 275 00:18:55,115 --> 00:18:58,835 Speaker 1: reminder that the head of the FBI, Christopher Ray, is 276 00:18:58,875 --> 00:19:03,075 Speaker 1: a Trump appointee, and a further reminder that the stuff 277 00:19:03,115 --> 00:19:07,355 Speaker 1: in the boxes they pulled out of Marilago is serious stuff. 278 00:19:07,835 --> 00:19:12,355 Speaker 1: These were not boxes full of thank you notes. And 279 00:19:12,515 --> 00:19:15,875 Speaker 1: whatever happens from here on in the Department of Justice, 280 00:19:15,955 --> 00:19:19,675 Speaker 1: is most feared scenario that it would be investigating a 281 00:19:19,715 --> 00:19:25,555 Speaker 1: candidate for president again has been averted. Trump has not 282 00:19:25,755 --> 00:19:29,435 Speaker 1: announced his candidacy. Whether charges result from this or they 283 00:19:29,475 --> 00:19:32,835 Speaker 1: do not, the investigation is already under way and as 284 00:19:32,955 --> 00:19:38,275 Speaker 1: dramatically as it could get underway without a purp walk. Anyway, 285 00:19:38,315 --> 00:19:41,595 Speaker 1: what this case looks like from the little evidence we 286 00:19:41,675 --> 00:19:44,675 Speaker 1: have would suggest that the endgame here could be a 287 00:19:44,755 --> 00:19:49,355 Speaker 1: court finding Trump guilty of violation or violations of eighteen 288 00:19:49,475 --> 00:19:53,595 Speaker 1: US Code two oh seven one, Section B, which includes 289 00:19:53,635 --> 00:19:57,195 Speaker 1: a very specific penalty for a federal office holder who 290 00:19:57,235 --> 00:20:02,315 Speaker 1: steals or destroys records disqualification from federal office for the 291 00:20:02,355 --> 00:20:06,675 Speaker 1: rest of your life caveat. In two thousand and fifteen, 292 00:20:06,755 --> 00:20:10,155 Speaker 1: the Republican Party thought it had found a way to 293 00:20:10,355 --> 00:20:13,275 Speaker 1: keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House, come hell 294 00:20:13,475 --> 00:20:17,755 Speaker 1: or high water, by prosecuting her under this exact law. 295 00:20:18,435 --> 00:20:21,595 Speaker 1: And then it concluded that the Constitution specifies that the 296 00:20:21,675 --> 00:20:25,275 Speaker 1: eligibility requirements for the president are this and that, and 297 00:20:25,355 --> 00:20:29,915 Speaker 1: you cannot add to them without a constitutional amendment. Still, 298 00:20:30,435 --> 00:20:33,475 Speaker 1: eighteen US Code two oh seven one, section B is 299 00:20:33,515 --> 00:20:38,475 Speaker 1: worth hearing pretty much in full, quoting whoever, having the 300 00:20:38,555 --> 00:20:42,995 Speaker 1: custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, 301 00:20:43,155 --> 00:20:48,515 Speaker 1: or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, 302 00:20:48,515 --> 00:20:52,955 Speaker 1: false fies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under 303 00:20:52,995 --> 00:20:57,355 Speaker 1: this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both, 304 00:20:57,715 --> 00:21:02,035 Speaker 1: and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding 305 00:21:02,115 --> 00:21:08,435 Speaker 1: any office under the United States disqualified from office? Would 306 00:21:08,435 --> 00:21:11,115 Speaker 1: the conviction of an ex president be different than somebody 307 00:21:11,195 --> 00:21:14,555 Speaker 1: seeking the presidency? Could you offer Trump a plea deal 308 00:21:14,675 --> 00:21:18,395 Speaker 1: on this, no fine, no jail time, but you accept 309 00:21:18,475 --> 00:21:23,195 Speaker 1: that last proviso disqualification from office. There's also a hatful 310 00:21:23,235 --> 00:21:28,555 Speaker 1: of other crimes specifically related to taking or destroying classified materials. 311 00:21:29,155 --> 00:21:31,675 Speaker 1: And I'll repeat my joke more seriously this time. Did 312 00:21:31,675 --> 00:21:35,475 Speaker 1: the FBI search the toilets at Mari Lago. All of 313 00:21:35,555 --> 00:21:39,715 Speaker 1: this is speculation, or a better phrase might be extrapolation, 314 00:21:40,155 --> 00:21:43,155 Speaker 1: in large part based on some very good reporting by 315 00:21:43,155 --> 00:21:47,595 Speaker 1: The Miami Herald, quoting the FBI raid focused only on 316 00:21:47,675 --> 00:21:52,795 Speaker 1: Trump's possession of boxes containing alleged classified materials and was 317 00:21:52,955 --> 00:21:56,995 Speaker 1: unrelated to the ongoing January six federal grand jury investigation. 318 00:21:57,675 --> 00:22:02,235 Speaker 1: The Herald, which has absolutely cleaned the repertorial clocks so 319 00:22:02,315 --> 00:22:05,955 Speaker 1: far of The Washington Post, New York Times and the networks, 320 00:22:05,995 --> 00:22:10,115 Speaker 1: also quoted law enforcement sources who said, quote, FBI agents 321 00:22:10,115 --> 00:22:12,755 Speaker 1: obtained a search warrant from a federal magistrate judge in 322 00:22:12,835 --> 00:22:16,995 Speaker 1: West Palm Beach to gather dozens of boxes containing alleged 323 00:22:17,035 --> 00:22:20,675 Speaker 1: classified materials that President Trump had taken with him when 324 00:22:20,675 --> 00:22:24,835 Speaker 1: he left the White House in January. The Miami Papers 325 00:22:24,875 --> 00:22:29,075 Speaker 1: Alex Roarty, Michael Wilner, and Jay Weaver also quoted sources 326 00:22:29,075 --> 00:22:32,795 Speaker 1: who said, quote, Federal agents were able to establish probable 327 00:22:32,955 --> 00:22:36,155 Speaker 1: cause for the warrant because Trump and his lawyers had 328 00:22:36,195 --> 00:22:40,115 Speaker 1: already turned over some classified documents that had been sought 329 00:22:40,155 --> 00:22:44,675 Speaker 1: by the National Archives and Records Administration. Agents suspected that 330 00:22:44,715 --> 00:22:49,635 Speaker 1: Trump was unlawfully holding other classified documents from his presidency 331 00:22:49,915 --> 00:22:54,275 Speaker 1: in his private club and residence at Mari Lago. It 332 00:22:54,355 --> 00:22:56,955 Speaker 1: was Eric Trump who first learned of the raid. His 333 00:22:57,075 --> 00:23:00,395 Speaker 1: father then announced it, ending it with the now timeless 334 00:23:00,475 --> 00:23:04,115 Speaker 1: quote they even broke into my safe, which may now 335 00:23:04,235 --> 00:23:07,635 Speaker 1: join the pantheon of similar quotes like you sunk my 336 00:23:07,715 --> 00:23:10,715 Speaker 1: battleship and I'm not going to pay a lot for 337 00:23:10,755 --> 00:23:14,515 Speaker 1: that muffler, and of course the newest one, John Eastman's 338 00:23:14,555 --> 00:23:16,795 Speaker 1: I've decided that I should be on the pardon list. 339 00:23:18,955 --> 00:23:21,435 Speaker 1: The other part of this story is the reaction from 340 00:23:21,475 --> 00:23:25,995 Speaker 1: Trump's defenders. It is nothing short of amazing, the more 341 00:23:26,075 --> 00:23:28,595 Speaker 1: hysterical parts of it in a moment. First, the running 342 00:23:28,755 --> 00:23:32,915 Speaker 1: theme of the actual criticism that this is unprecedented. You 343 00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:37,555 Speaker 1: don't investigate a president past or presence. That's all nonsense. 344 00:23:38,075 --> 00:23:41,195 Speaker 1: The rate itself might be a first, but the FBI 345 00:23:41,635 --> 00:23:46,555 Speaker 1: running an investigation of a president? What was Watergate? The 346 00:23:46,595 --> 00:23:50,555 Speaker 1: famous source Deep Throat was the Deputy director of the FBI. 347 00:23:50,715 --> 00:23:53,995 Speaker 1: Mark felt the material he was leaking to the Washington 348 00:23:54,115 --> 00:23:57,835 Speaker 1: Post was the result of investigations by Richard Nixon and 349 00:23:57,955 --> 00:24:02,795 Speaker 1: his administration by the FBI. The FBI and the Department 350 00:24:02,795 --> 00:24:07,595 Speaker 1: of Justice also investigated Nix's finances and property. Much earlier, 351 00:24:07,635 --> 00:24:11,555 Speaker 1: President Warren G. Harding was investigated, but he died before 352 00:24:11,555 --> 00:24:15,435 Speaker 1: a special prosecutor was appointed. In t pot Dome, the 353 00:24:15,555 --> 00:24:20,275 Speaker 1: Treasury Department investigated President Ulysses has Grant over the whiskey 354 00:24:20,435 --> 00:24:25,555 Speaker 1: ring scandal, and Grant wound up while still president testifying 355 00:24:25,675 --> 00:24:30,435 Speaker 1: for the defense at the trial of his own personal secretary. 356 00:24:31,075 --> 00:24:36,275 Speaker 1: Stuff like this has happened before. Sorry, gang, But then 357 00:24:36,315 --> 00:24:39,955 Speaker 1: there is the sheer entertainment value of the reaction on 358 00:24:40,035 --> 00:24:46,515 Speaker 1: the right. It is panicked and wonderfully apocalyptic. A sampling 359 00:24:47,435 --> 00:24:51,595 Speaker 1: third word banana Republic Trump JUNR. This does not happen 360 00:24:51,595 --> 00:24:55,755 Speaker 1: in civilized countries. According to Texas fascist Congressman Troy Nils, 361 00:24:56,155 --> 00:25:00,555 Speaker 1: who previously mocked the police injured on January six, using 362 00:25:00,595 --> 00:25:03,435 Speaker 1: government power to persecute political opponents is something we have 363 00:25:03,475 --> 00:25:08,475 Speaker 1: seen many times from heard world Marxist dictatorships. Marco Rubio, 364 00:25:08,595 --> 00:25:11,395 Speaker 1: who last month urged that I be arrested for tweeting 365 00:25:11,395 --> 00:25:15,075 Speaker 1: about the Supreme Court. How about the Venghazi scandals? You 366 00:25:15,115 --> 00:25:18,395 Speaker 1: want to talk about scandals that were never investigated? Eric 367 00:25:18,435 --> 00:25:22,635 Speaker 1: Trump brilliant as ever, sever all ties with d o 368 00:25:22,715 --> 00:25:26,835 Speaker 1: J immediately any FBI agent conducting law enforcement functions outside 369 00:25:26,875 --> 00:25:30,155 Speaker 1: the purview of our state should be arrested upon site. 370 00:25:30,795 --> 00:25:34,795 Speaker 1: Florida congressional candidate Anthony Sabbatini, the one who called the 371 00:25:34,835 --> 00:25:38,755 Speaker 1: nomination of Supreme Court Justice Catangi Brown Jackson quote anti 372 00:25:38,835 --> 00:25:43,075 Speaker 1: white racist exclusion. All I can say is the FBI 373 00:25:43,235 --> 00:25:47,755 Speaker 1: better have the goods. Harry Fleischer, Bushes press secretary who 374 00:25:47,755 --> 00:25:50,595 Speaker 1: sold the Iraq War w M D fraud when he 375 00:25:50,635 --> 00:25:55,395 Speaker 1: didn't have the goods.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, whom 377 00:25:59,795 --> 00:26:02,035 Speaker 1: the Trumper has planned to oust if they take back 378 00:26:02,075 --> 00:26:06,555 Speaker 1: the House. Greatest threat to art democracy since the Civil War. 379 00:26:07,155 --> 00:26:12,835 Speaker 1: Some guy this is madness, Former Trump adviser Jason Miller. Meanwhile, 380 00:26:12,915 --> 00:26:16,715 Speaker 1: former hopeless Trump sick offet Richard Grennell. The FBI rags 381 00:26:16,755 --> 00:26:19,555 Speaker 1: Trump's house, and the Democrats vote to add eight seven 382 00:26:19,555 --> 00:26:23,835 Speaker 1: thousand I R S agents to go after Americans. Wake up, America. 383 00:26:25,315 --> 00:26:27,715 Speaker 1: This rate is part of the worst political scandal in 384 00:26:27,755 --> 00:26:32,035 Speaker 1: American history. Tom Fitton, the Judicial Watch guy who wears 385 00:26:32,075 --> 00:26:34,595 Speaker 1: the shirts three times so small so you can see 386 00:26:34,595 --> 00:26:38,235 Speaker 1: his nipples, can't wait to see the dessantist reaction on 387 00:26:38,315 --> 00:26:41,955 Speaker 1: Mari Lago.

Moron. This is 394 00:27:10,715 --> 00:27:14,275 Speaker 1: the hill to die on from Monica Crowley, my former 395 00:27:14,395 --> 00:27:20,315 Speaker 1: MSNBC colleague, which invites the response, Okay, Merrick Garland is 396 00:27:20,315 --> 00:27:25,195 Speaker 1: a disgrace to human kind from Dan Bongino, the Fox 397 00:27:25,195 --> 00:27:28,835 Speaker 1: News talking head with the drawn on hair. Nazi Germany 398 00:27:28,875 --> 00:27:34,995 Speaker 1: meets Soviet Union KGB Wayne Root Lisa Booth. The federal 399 00:27:35,035 --> 00:27:38,715 Speaker 1: government needs to be dismantled entirely, which you have to 400 00:27:38,755 --> 00:27:41,915 Speaker 1: admit would be a neat trick. We see you, and 401 00:27:41,915 --> 00:27:44,595 Speaker 1: we see how slimy and disgusting you are trying to 402 00:27:44,915 --> 00:27:50,395 Speaker 1: weaponize the FBI, writes Tommy Laren. Frankly, that's also kind 403 00:27:50,435 --> 00:27:53,755 Speaker 1: of underwhelming. Isn't it. No, it's not. The FBI rights 404 00:27:53,835 --> 00:27:58,635 Speaker 1: the South Dakota Governor Christie Nome unprecedented weaponization of the 405 00:27:58,875 --> 00:28:03,275 Speaker 1: Justice Department. Some other guy insisted the church needs to 406 00:28:03,315 --> 00:28:08,995 Speaker 1: pay attention to this too. Pray for Trump's safe. Some 407 00:28:09,075 --> 00:28:12,955 Speaker 1: woman saying the Trump rally text number is eight eight 408 00:28:13,035 --> 00:28:16,315 Speaker 1: O two two and that just happens to be the 409 00:28:16,395 --> 00:28:19,435 Speaker 1: day Trump's home gets rated. Yeah, because there was a 410 00:28:19,475 --> 00:28:24,115 Speaker 1: conspiracy and Trump was in on it. This weaponizes power 411 00:28:24,195 --> 00:28:29,435 Speaker 1: to squelch descent. Governor Abbot of Texas, what descent was 412 00:28:29,515 --> 00:28:33,235 Speaker 1: involved in this? Abbey the election denier from Arizona, Mark 413 00:28:33,275 --> 00:28:37,395 Speaker 1: Fincham going a little hyperbolic with the FBI just united 414 00:28:37,435 --> 00:28:42,275 Speaker 1: the entire world behind President Trump. I don't think so. 415 00:28:43,115 --> 00:28:48,955 Speaker 1: Gestapo from nut job congressional candidate Laura Loomer and Gaspacho 416 00:28:49,795 --> 00:28:53,355 Speaker 1: for Marjorie Taylor Green not just made that one up, 417 00:28:53,635 --> 00:28:56,755 Speaker 1: though she did do that earlier. For the last comment 418 00:28:56,835 --> 00:29:00,795 Speaker 1: from the right, former Trump Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders quote, 419 00:29:01,195 --> 00:29:04,675 Speaker 1: when you're attacking FBI agents because you're under criminal investigating 420 00:29:04,835 --> 00:29:08,635 Speaker 1: and you're losing. She tweeted that on November third, two 421 00:29:08,715 --> 00:29:13,355 Speaker 1: thousand sixteen, but you know, still counts. But the overriding 422 00:29:13,395 --> 00:29:19,595 Speaker 1: reaction consisted of one word. It's a very disturbing word war, 423 00:29:20,595 --> 00:29:25,115 Speaker 1: a repeated meme the late alcoholic Andrew Breitbart's saying that 424 00:29:25,195 --> 00:29:29,355 Speaker 1: word war. It is an understandable reaction. The rules and 425 00:29:29,395 --> 00:29:32,915 Speaker 1: the laws do not apply to Republicans and fascists, say 426 00:29:32,955 --> 00:29:36,315 Speaker 1: Republicans and fascists, and the fact that so far Trump 427 00:29:36,355 --> 00:29:39,955 Speaker 1: has gotten away with everything for seven long years, in fact, 428 00:29:39,955 --> 00:29:42,795 Speaker 1: for the whole of his life, has led republican and 429 00:29:42,835 --> 00:29:48,875 Speaker 1: fascists to a certain sense of collective invulnerability. Granted, almost 430 00:29:48,915 --> 00:29:52,755 Speaker 1: all of this hyperbolic reaction is their fear and their 431 00:29:52,795 --> 00:29:58,595 Speaker 1: sudden realization in millions of heretofore numbed minds, that the 432 00:29:58,635 --> 00:30:01,595 Speaker 1: man they are totally invested in, the guy they think 433 00:30:01,635 --> 00:30:07,435 Speaker 1: they are hiding behind, is actually in trouble. Still calling 434 00:30:07,515 --> 00:30:10,995 Speaker 1: for war, whatever that means, seems to be a really 435 00:30:11,035 --> 00:30:13,715 Speaker 1: odd flex When the military of the United States of 436 00:30:13,755 --> 00:30:19,355 Speaker 1: America is in the hands of President Joe Biden Dark Brandon, 437 00:30:19,515 --> 00:30:23,475 Speaker 1: that would be through at least January. I mean, it's 438 00:30:23,515 --> 00:30:25,995 Speaker 1: the same lack of logic that has led countless Second 439 00:30:25,995 --> 00:30:29,755 Speaker 1: Amendment nuts to bark, to boast, come and take magoons, 440 00:30:29,915 --> 00:30:32,715 Speaker 1: or you'll only get my gun when you're prior from 441 00:30:32,755 --> 00:30:35,115 Speaker 1: my dead hands. And you realize it has never occurred 442 00:30:35,155 --> 00:30:38,195 Speaker 1: to them, not once, that were the government actually planning 443 00:30:38,195 --> 00:30:41,275 Speaker 1: on taking their guns, or if there actually were to 444 00:30:41,315 --> 00:30:45,595 Speaker 1: be some sort of war over Trump's safe, the government 445 00:30:45,595 --> 00:30:48,435 Speaker 1: would not walk up to them empty handed, nor bring 446 00:30:48,475 --> 00:30:52,035 Speaker 1: one gun. They would bring forty seven tanks and thirty 447 00:30:52,755 --> 00:30:59,315 Speaker 1: troops war in defense of Trump's safe. You say, now, 448 00:30:59,435 --> 00:31:03,835 Speaker 1: I ask this as literally as you are or aren't 449 00:31:03,915 --> 00:31:16,995 Speaker 1: saying a Trump fists you and what army? August nine, 450 00:31:18,395 --> 00:31:20,755 Speaker 1: the first thing we knew about Trump and Mari Lago 451 00:31:20,875 --> 00:31:24,235 Speaker 1: and literally hundreds of classified documents he stole and he 452 00:31:24,435 --> 00:31:30,795 Speaker 1: kept terrifying and horrifying and in retrospect, almost innocent. Let's 453 00:31:30,835 --> 00:31:33,755 Speaker 1: jump ahead to the first day that the real implications 454 00:31:33,795 --> 00:31:39,275 Speaker 1: here were thoroughly understood, September.

This is countdown again in real time. 456 00:31:56,835 --> 00:32:00,675 Speaker 1: The seriousness of what Trump stole, what Trump stashed at 457 00:32:00,715 --> 00:32:04,195 Speaker 1: Mari Lago, and the ridiculousness of a comparison to the 458 00:32:04,235 --> 00:32:09,755 Speaker 1: Biden think tank documents story. We may have in fact forgotten. 459 00:32:10,435 --> 00:32:15,995 Speaker 1: Happily the audio files. Never forget this is from the 460 00:32:16,035 --> 00:32:21,675 Speaker 1: morning after it happened September.

By July, the 499 00:35:34,515 --> 00:35:37,875 Speaker 1: committee had adopted to more articles, won by a wider 500 00:35:37,915 --> 00:35:42,715 Speaker 1: margin than that it impeached the president. On August five, 501 00:35:42,835 --> 00:35:46,995 Speaker 1: a week after it impeached the president, Congressman Chuck Wiggins 502 00:35:47,355 --> 00:35:50,435 Speaker 1: from the most republican part of southern California got up 503 00:35:50,435 --> 00:35:54,035 Speaker 1: and insisted none of the evidence pointed to Nixon committing 504 00:35:54,115 --> 00:35:57,275 Speaker 1: any crimes, not a doubt in his mind that Richard 505 00:35:57,395 --> 00:36:02,395 Speaker 1: Nixon was innocent. Then Alexander Haig called him over to 506 00:36:02,395 --> 00:36:04,075 Speaker 1: the White House to look at a transcript of the 507 00:36:04,075 --> 00:36:08,635 Speaker 1: smoking on tape and said oops. And two days later, 508 00:36:08,955 --> 00:36:11,275 Speaker 1: late on August seven, the stories began to leak that 509 00:36:11,395 --> 00:36:13,475 Speaker 1: Nixon was going to resign. He announced it on the eighth, 510 00:36:13,675 --> 00:36:17,475 Speaker 1: but three days before Nixon went down in flames in 511 00:36:17,555 --> 00:36:21,475 Speaker 1: what had been the previous greatest political scandal in American history. 512 00:36:21,515 --> 00:36:25,395 Speaker 1: Three days before this, Congressman Wiggins was still out there 513 00:36:25,435 --> 00:36:30,355 Speaker 1: insisting not guilty. And after Wiggins left Congress, they made 514 00:36:30,395 --> 00:36:34,595 Speaker 1: him a judge seventy two hours before guilty enough to 515 00:36:34,715 --> 00:36:39,275 Speaker 1: resign as the president, and he's defending Nixon. And now 516 00:36:39,475 --> 00:36:42,315 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham comes out and says, of a story about 517 00:36:42,395 --> 00:36:48,315 Speaker 1: Trump stealing documented evidence of another nation's nuclear defense system, 518 00:36:48,355 --> 00:36:53,155 Speaker 1: that of course the FBI should have rated Trump's home sooner. 519 00:36:54,395 --> 00:36:56,755 Speaker 1: I mean, what have you got to lose at this point, 520 00:36:56,835 --> 00:37:01,835 Speaker 1: Lie tell him he's innocent. Maybe the other country is 521 00:37:01,835 --> 00:37:05,675 Speaker 1: Israel and they know and Trump and his culture suddenly 522 00:37:05,715 --> 00:37:10,395 Speaker 1: living an abject terror. But then if that were the case, 523 00:37:10,435 --> 00:37:18,035 Speaker 1: somebody would have turned on Trump, right just to save themselves, right, somebody, anybody, 524 00:37:18,475 --> 00:37:20,875 Speaker 1: anybody gonna say anything one way or the other about this, 525 00:37:21,795 --> 00:37:26,115 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell anything.
