WEBVTT - Brinkley: Trump Will Run Shadow Government with Rush Limbaugh

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Douglas Brinkley is a Frank Lance kind of Guy's a polster.

0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a presidential historian's at Rice University, and he was

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>on CNN Saturday. As the drive by media continues to

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>discuss what Trump is going to do when he leaves

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the White House. For example, here's a here's a political headline.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Trump threatens to wreak havoc on GOP from beyond the

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>White House. His attacks on Republican governors since his loss

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>offer a sample of what's in store. President Donald Trump

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 1>has spent three weeks since he lost the election. This

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>is politico, not me. Hang on note, Since he allegedly

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>lost the election, savaging a pair of Republican governors for

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>not backing his claims that he was robbed, Republicans are worried.

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just the start of what's in store from the

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>soon to be former president, and he's gonna throw Republicans

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>under the bus um. Look, I do not want to

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be misunderstood here. I'm not advocating Trump do anything, but

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you something. He's not exactly been given

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the proper amount of support from these Republicans that I

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think he's deserved. The governors maybe a little different, but

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>some of the House Republicans and some of the Senate

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Republicans all kinds of never trumpers in both in both

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>houses of Congress, the House and the Senate. And I

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>will never forget the first six months of Trump's first

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>year two thousand and seventeen, where there was no help

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>whatsoever on replacing and reforming Obamacare because they thought the

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Russian stuff was true, and they thought Trump was going

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>to be thrown out of White House and put in jail.

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>It was outrageous. And then after six months or so

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>went by, they finally figured out that it was bogus,

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>but they believed it because they believed the drive by media.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump has not exactly been given support from the Republican Party.

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>They've tried to undermine him. And I don't just mean

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the never trumpers. There's a lot of establishment Republicans that

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't want Trump to succeed at all. This is another

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>reason why people are calling here in tears and in frustration.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>We finally got a Republican leader willing to push back,

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>fight back, stand up for America, and his own party

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>can't even get behind him in mass So it's understandable

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>anyway back, Doug Brinkley is on CNN. Okay, what's Trump

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>going to do when he leaves the light. He's going

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to create a kind of second shadow government out of

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>mar Lago. He practically lives next door to Rush Limbaugh.

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>They'll create a kind of a media empire, a voice

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>out there that simply refuses to accept anything that Joe

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Biden does and go on the attack. Uh so, Trump

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.119
<v Speaker 1>and I are going to create some kind of shadow

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>second government. Who actually did this, that's right, Barack Obama.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>We have now learned that Barack Obama ran every operation

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>in the four years of Trump's first term. He ran

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>the Russian hoax, he ran the Russian coup, he ran

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the impeachment operation, he ran Stormy Daniels. He was behind

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>all of it. Obama and Biden were behind all of it.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>He created a shadow government. I predicted it. The only

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>thing I was wrong about was I thought he would

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>do it publicly. I thought he'd go on TV and

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>start ripping into Trump every time Trump tried to unravel

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it Obama policy. That's where I was read dead wrong.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>He did it silently, quietly, invisibly, but he was doing it.

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Fact second kind of shadow Government's a great way to

0:03:55.320 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>describe what Obama was doing. He literally was under mining

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a duly elected president. He was doing everything he could

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to overturn the election results in two thousand sixteen. It

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was it was near criminal what was done, you know?

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And I remember all those four years were digging deep

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and we're looking at it or the FBI here in

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Muller over there, m I five, all these European connections.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 1>We knew that Obama had had a very important White

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>House Oval Office meeting on January seventeen where he dispatched

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Come and Clapper to go to the Trump Tower have

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a meeting with Trump to tell him about the Golden

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Shower story and the Steel dossier. But not enough of

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>us put together that Obama was the actual ring leader

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>until later, but he was. He was the actual ring leader.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>He was the guy making sure that Trump was not

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>going to succeed at unraveling the Obama first two terms.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He failed at that by he failed massively, but that

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>was his objective. Victor Davis Hanson Sunday night on Talk

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Life Liberty in Leven with Mark Leman on the Fox

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>News Channel, question from Levine the Democrat Party seems to

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>stand opposite of so many things that we stand for,

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>our principles and traditions. You go one issue after another.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>How did they get here and where do they want

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to take us? Mr Hanson, think about it. They have

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>social media, entertainment, Hollywood, professional sports, the media, academia K

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 1>through twelve, the bureaucracy, the administrative state, and so all

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>we have is talk radio and the people and a

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>few other avenues on the Internet. So it's an asymmetrical challenge.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>All we have is talk radio. And why do we

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>still have talk radio because talk radio adheres. We in

0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>talk radio adhere to our principles. Most of us do. Uh,

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>look that that's that's nothing new. It's just a stark

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>reminder of how out of balance things actually are.
