1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Here's what you missed on Buck Sexton with America. Now, 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: they were grilling Sessions today. Everybody that was we knew 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: it was coming. They didn't really get very far with it, 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: and Sessions I think got in some some good jobs himself. 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: Buck sexting with you all. Now, a lot to talk 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: about today on the show. Of course, we're gonna get 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: into the Sessions hearing. Uh, then we'll talk a bit 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: about the latest with some politics and the agenda of 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, Hillary Clinton and the email investigation, Megan 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: Kelly's interview of Alex Jones, and all kinds of stuff 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: that I want to discuss with you today. But but first, 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: I think that Sessions really summed up my sentiment about 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: the entirety of this hearing when he said the following, 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: The suggestion that I participated in any collusion, that I 15 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: was aware of any collusion with the Russian government to 16 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: hurt this country, which I have served with honor for 17 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: thirty five years, or to undermine the integrity about democratic process, 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: isn't an appalling and detestable lie. An appalling and testable lie. 19 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: You're noticing that as these administration figures come forward, whether 20 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: it was called me last week former administration figure or 21 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: Sessions this week. The whole Russia collusion narrative is just 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: getting thinner and thinner with each passing day. If you 23 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: could believe that Jeff Sessions, if you could believe that 24 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions was willing to collude with the Russians too 25 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: in any way interfere with the U. S election, I 26 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: I submit that you could believe anything if someone really 27 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: thinks that Jeff Sessions is the kind of individual who 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: would engage in any such various and underhanded activity. I mean, 29 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: put aside for a second what you think of his 30 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: his character and everything else, uh, and his integrity, which 31 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: I think is putting aside a lot. But Jeff Sessions, 32 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: this is the guy that they think is work is 33 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: working with the Russians, and it is so close to 34 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: the Russians and all of the stuff we've I've been 35 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: talking about here. There were a lot of questions they 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: were posing about a whole slew of issues, and I 37 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: have to say, I find it discouraging that with almost 38 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: four trillion dollars of government spending here we are that's 39 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: what the government's budgets. By the way, it's almost four 40 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: trillion dollars US federal budget. Uh, here we are. The 41 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: primary focus of our government seems to be senators grandstanding, 42 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: asking questions and berating the Attorney General over over nothing. 43 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: By the way, I mean that they weren't really able 44 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: to score any in my opinion, any hits that are 45 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: meaningful against Sessions. It's certainly nothing that I nothing that 46 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: I saw. They wanted to push him a lot on recusal, 47 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: and this I found fascinating. But here's what Session said 48 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: about the whole notion of his recusal from the Russia probe. 49 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: So many have suggested that my recusal is because I 50 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: felt I was a subject of the investigation myself, that 51 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: I may have done something wrong. But this is the 52 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: reason I accused myself. I felt I was required to 53 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: under the rules of the Department of Justice, and as 54 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: a leader of the Department of Justice, I should comply 55 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: with the rules. Obviously. Now, just keep in mind that 56 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: the media, on the one hand, was saying that, uh, 57 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: he was he needed to recuse himself right there, pushing 58 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: for the recusal. They're saying he has to accuse himself. 59 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: And then on the other when he does recuse himself 60 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: and Democrats of not just the media Democrats in the 61 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Senate of the House. They were saying, recusal must happen. 62 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Then he reccuses himself and then they're like, well, yeah, 63 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there was that whole recusal thing 64 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: that you had to do. So there's that. Uh. It 65 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: is astonishing to see how much hypocrisy, how much politicization, 66 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: and just in general that the sheer lack of any 67 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: underlying integrity and for for this line of questioning that 68 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: he went through, for some of the senators who were 69 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: trying to I guess make a name for themselves or 70 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: push the Russia collusion narrative even further. Um, there was 71 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: just nothing today that was all that exciting that they 72 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: wanted to use the term. Uh. They wanted to use 73 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: the term obstruction, I think as often as they could. 74 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: So they push in different ways to try and influence 75 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: the nai to influence the discussion, just with the questioning. 76 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: So they went on that and oh, on the notion 77 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: of being left alone or the his memory of being 78 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: left alone with the president. Here is what Session said 79 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: about that. Well, I would just say it this way. 80 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: We were there, I was standing there and without revealing 81 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: any conversation that took place. What I do recall is 82 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: that I did depart, I believe everyone else did depart, 83 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: and Director Coming was sitting in front of the President's 84 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: desk and they were talking. So that's what I do 85 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: remember that. I believe it was the next day that 86 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: he said something expressed concern about being left alone with 87 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: the president, but that in itself is not problematic. Um, 88 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: he did not tell me at that time any details 89 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: about anything that was said that was improper. Affirmed his 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: concern and that we should be following the proper guidelines 91 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice. Okay, so pretty straightforward. Then 92 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: then you get to the question of whether or not 93 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: there's a problem with this discussion in and of itself, 94 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: and of course the answer to that is no. As 95 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: Attorney General Sessions said, there's nothing wrong with the president 96 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: having a communication with the FBI director. What is problematic 97 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: for any Department of Justice employee, UH is to talk 98 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: to any Cabinet persons or White House officials, UM high 99 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: officials about ongoing investigation. So just staying behind there's no problem. 100 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: And Sessions is making it clear here that he didn't 101 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: see anything wrong with this that comy it seems after 102 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: the fact was making a bigger deal of that conversation 103 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: than he did at the time, which would not be 104 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: in any way, surprise rising Um. One of the areas 105 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: where the senator the Democrats senators of course, and you 106 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: watch these things and Democrats and Republicans, it's very they 107 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: have a d or an R and you, you know, 108 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: are you gonna get questions that are meant to illuminate 109 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: our questions that are meant to undermine It couldn't be 110 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: any more straightforward. But Democrats were pushing on whether or 111 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: not Sessions has to speak to them about private conversations 112 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: he's had with the president. Now, if the president can't 113 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: expect there to be some privilege of his communications with 114 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: the attorney general, who who can the president have a 115 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: private conversation with? I mean, if he cannot seek counsel 116 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: from the top people around him. Uh, it would seem 117 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: to me that there's there's no point, right, I mean, 118 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: then at that point everything is public record. If you 119 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: can't talk to Sessions and not have it come out, 120 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, everything that's not classified, it would be public record. 121 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: Of course, with the there was a whole lot of 122 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: questioning about a hotel in d C. And it wasn't 123 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: even really clear what the Democrats were getting out other 124 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: than just the implication, the insinuation that somehow Sessions meets 125 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: with Russians in a sketchy way to do sketchy things 126 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: because he's a bad guy. Here is what he said 127 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: about all of that point. Did not have any private meetings, 128 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: nor do I recall any conversations with any Russian officials 129 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: at the Mayflower Hotel. I did not attend any meetings 130 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: at that event. Uh, separate, So they keep asking about 131 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: these meetings, I mean one of the two meetings. Remember 132 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: that they were hoping to get him in in a 133 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: perjury trap here that that's a large part of this. 134 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: You see all the different angles they're playing. Let's talk 135 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: Russia collusion. Um, what did trum the comy firing? What 136 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: can you tell us about that? And then also did 137 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: why didn't you talk about your meetings? Why didn't you 138 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: talk about um in the past? Uh? Two interactions you 139 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: had with Russians. One of them was like as public 140 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: as it gets in front of hundreds of people. So 141 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: I would think if if Koby I'm sorry, if Sessions 142 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: was part of a an international conspiracy, a clandestine, uh 143 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: form of of subterfuge against the US Electoral College. If 144 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: he was doing the things that people on the left 145 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: seemed to think he would do, I doubt very much 146 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: that he would be having these meetings with Russians out 147 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: in public like that. I just I doubt it. I 148 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: have to say, um, that to me is getting into 149 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: a level of crazy. But but then again, these are 150 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: people that first and foremost are willing to believe that 151 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: Sessions would have, never mind the tactics that he allegedly 152 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: would have been using of meeting Russians in front of everybody. 153 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: The Russian ambassador who meets with everybody, and Sessions was 154 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: a sitting senator. And you know, part of the problem 155 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: I think here is as we get more facts, there 156 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: is an increasing desperation with the media because they've gone 157 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: so far are on some of these stories with such 158 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: flimsy evidence that now they're desperate to make it true, 159 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: or they're desperate to at least create uh, some arguments, 160 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: some justification, some narrative where they're not totally overlyne where 161 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: they're not uh pushing an obvious and partisan narrative. So yeah, no, 162 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: I mean Sessions here is is saying that he didn't 163 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: meet with he didn't have any private meetings with the Russians. 164 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: This is not surprising to anybody, I am sure, Um. 165 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: And you know, we'll talk about interference, the alleged interference, 166 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: the investigation, and also the firing of Comy in just 167 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: a few minutes. I want to get to those points 168 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: in a second. But you know, if they spent a 169 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: couple of hours grilling the guy and then we get 170 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: to the y, Um, they want to push him into 171 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: making a false statement under oath. That's one thing that's 172 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: and I do think that this shouldn't be viewed as 173 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: sport by even Democrats the way that it is, that 174 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: they would sell liberate if Sessions made what would be 175 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: a non material or or unimportant lie under oath, whether 176 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: it was a statement that was misremembered or however they 177 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: could construe it, and that they would be happy that 178 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: a good man like Jeff Sessions is the Attorney general 179 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: service country for so long. My face criminal charges is 180 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: is really desperate and pathetic, Um, because you could tell 181 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: there are people rooting for that today online and the media. Um, 182 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: that's not what they pretend they want.
