1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Douglas Brinkley is a Frank Lance kind of Guy's a polster.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: He's a presidential historian's at Rice University, and he was

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: on CNN Saturday. As the drive by media continues to

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: discuss what Trump is going to do when he leaves

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the White House. For example, here's a here's a political headline.

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: Trump threatens to wreak havoc on GOP from beyond the

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: White House. His attacks on Republican governors since his loss

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: offer a sample of what's in store. President Donald Trump

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: has spent three weeks since he lost the election. This

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: is politico, not me. Hang on note, Since he allegedly

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: lost the election, savaging a pair of Republican governors for

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: not backing his claims that he was robbed, Republicans are worried.

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: It's just the start of what's in store from the

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: soon to be former president, and he's gonna throw Republicans

15
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: under the bus um. Look, I do not want to

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: be misunderstood here. I'm not advocating Trump do anything, but

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. He's not exactly been given

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: the proper amount of support from these Republicans that I

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: think he's deserved. The governors maybe a little different, but

20
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: some of the House Republicans and some of the Senate

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: Republicans all kinds of never trumpers in both in both

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: houses of Congress, the House and the Senate. And I

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: will never forget the first six months of Trump's first

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: year two thousand and seventeen, where there was no help

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: whatsoever on replacing and reforming Obamacare because they thought the

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Russian stuff was true, and they thought Trump was going

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: to be thrown out of White House and put in jail.

28
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: It was outrageous. And then after six months or so

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: went by, they finally figured out that it was bogus,

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: but they believed it because they believed the drive by media.

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Trump has not exactly been given support from the Republican Party.

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: They've tried to undermine him. And I don't just mean

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the never trumpers. There's a lot of establishment Republicans that

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: didn't want Trump to succeed at all. This is another

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: reason why people are calling here in tears and in frustration.

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: We finally got a Republican leader willing to push back,

37
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: fight back, stand up for America, and his own party

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: can't even get behind him in mass So it's understandable

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: anyway back, Doug Brinkley is on CNN. Okay, what's Trump

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: going to do when he leaves the light. He's going

41
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: to create a kind of second shadow government out of

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: mar Lago. He practically lives next door to Rush Limbaugh.

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: They'll create a kind of a media empire, a voice

44
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: out there that simply refuses to accept anything that Joe

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Biden does and go on the attack. Uh so, Trump

46
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: and I are going to create some kind of shadow

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: second government. Who actually did this, that's right, Barack Obama.

48
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: We have now learned that Barack Obama ran every operation

49
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: in the four years of Trump's first term. He ran

50
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: the Russian hoax, he ran the Russian coup, he ran

51
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: the impeachment operation, he ran Stormy Daniels. He was behind

52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: all of it. Obama and Biden were behind all of it.

53
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: He created a shadow government. I predicted it. The only

54
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: thing I was wrong about was I thought he would

55
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: do it publicly. I thought he'd go on TV and

56
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: start ripping into Trump every time Trump tried to unravel

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: it Obama policy. That's where I was read dead wrong.

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: He did it silently, quietly, invisibly, but he was doing it.

59
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Fact second kind of shadow Government's a great way to

60
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: describe what Obama was doing. He literally was under mining

61
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: a duly elected president. He was doing everything he could

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: to overturn the election results in two thousand sixteen. It

63
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: was it was near criminal what was done, you know?

64
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: And I remember all those four years were digging deep

65
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: and we're looking at it or the FBI here in

66
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: Muller over there, m I five, all these European connections.

67
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: We knew that Obama had had a very important White

68
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: House Oval Office meeting on January seventeen where he dispatched

69
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Come and Clapper to go to the Trump Tower have

70
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: a meeting with Trump to tell him about the Golden

71
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: Shower story and the Steel dossier. But not enough of

72
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: us put together that Obama was the actual ring leader

73
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: until later, but he was. He was the actual ring leader.

74
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: He was the guy making sure that Trump was not

75
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: going to succeed at unraveling the Obama first two terms.

76
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: He failed at that by he failed massively, but that

77
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: was his objective. Victor Davis Hanson Sunday night on Talk

78
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Life Liberty in Leven with Mark Leman on the Fox

79
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: News Channel, question from Levine the Democrat Party seems to

80
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: stand opposite of so many things that we stand for,

81
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: our principles and traditions. You go one issue after another.

82
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: How did they get here and where do they want

83
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: to take us? Mr Hanson, think about it. They have

84
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: social media, entertainment, Hollywood, professional sports, the media, academia K

85
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: through twelve, the bureaucracy, the administrative state, and so all

86
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: we have is talk radio and the people and a

87
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: few other avenues on the Internet. So it's an asymmetrical challenge.

88
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: All we have is talk radio. And why do we

89
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: still have talk radio because talk radio adheres. We in

90
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: talk radio adhere to our principles. Most of us do. Uh,

91
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: look that that's that's nothing new. It's just a stark

92
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: reminder of how out of balance things actually are.
