Speaker 1: When you're ready to ride Metro, we want you to
Speaker 1: know we're ready for you. Here are just a few
Speaker 1: of the people at Metro to tell you how we're
Speaker 1: doing our part to keep writers safe. We're cleaning like
Speaker 1: noble before you have found half sound of suns of statist,
Speaker 1: no mask, no Metro need one. We have a few
Speaker 1: extras at Metro. We're doing our part to keep the
Speaker 1: DC area moving. Find out more at will Matta dot
Speaker 1: com slash doing our part. If we had had confidence
Speaker 1: that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we
Speaker 1: would have said so. We did, not, however, make a
Speaker 1: determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.
Speaker 1: All right, So there we are, and that was the
Speaker 1: that's the conversation point all day long yesterday and maybe
Speaker 1: for the next several months. If they go forward with impeachment,
Speaker 1: and if they do go and perform with impeachment, this
Speaker 1: man will be involved. Indeed, Congressman Tom mc clintock represents
Speaker 1: the fourth District of California and joins US. Now he
Speaker 1: has accused Robert Mueller of pedofog y. Good lord, now
Speaker 1: that's an accusation, Tom, going back to your old timey accusations.
Speaker 1: There huh, Well, google it and you'll find that that
Speaker 1: that it is a word that perfectly fits Robert Mueller
Speaker 1: of a pedofogers, a lawyer whose methods are petty, underhanded,
Speaker 1: or disreputable, and one who's given to quibbling over trifles.
Speaker 1: And that is Robert Mueller to a t. So why
Speaker 1: don't we start with the clip we just played. I
Speaker 1: found it curious and perhaps I misunderstand his role in
Speaker 1: what the statute says, but that somebody would say we
Speaker 1: were not able to clear him of a crime. Prosecutors
Speaker 1: don't exonerate people. Prosecutors don't clear you of a crime.
Speaker 1: You are already cleared of a crime. That's the presumption
Speaker 1: of innocence. He even mentioned that in his statement. Then
Speaker 1: he went right around and contradicted himself. A prosecutor's role
Speaker 1: is to determine if a case can be made for prosecution.
Speaker 1: We gave that man twenty five million dollars and twenty
Speaker 1: two months to make a case for that the president
Speaker 1: colluded with the Russians. That was the great lie we've
Speaker 1: been force fed for two and a half years now,
Speaker 1: or or to to make the case that he could
Speaker 1: be prosecuted for obstruction of of an investigation that discovered
Speaker 1: no crime. Uh, and he could not make that case.
Speaker 1: He did not make that case. And now he wants
Speaker 1: to have his cake and eat it too. And and
Speaker 1: you know, hiding behind this guideline that a sitting president
Speaker 1: cannot be uh indicted, Well that is Horseman, or any
Speaker 1: president can be indicted after he leaves office. It was
Speaker 1: Mueller's responsibility to make that case if he could, and
Speaker 1: he didn't because he couldn't. Do you think the speaker
Speaker 1: of your House of Representatives is going to move forward
Speaker 1: with impeachment proceedings or they've been planning that from day one?
Speaker 1: In fact, Also, here's another thing you can google. Uh.
Speaker 1: We saw the first calls for impeachment of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: the week after the election. That was two months before
Speaker 1: he was sworn in. They were already talking about impeaching him.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this has been the game plan from before
Speaker 1: day one. Yeah. But I don't think it's Nancy Pelosi's
Speaker 1: game plan, Tom. I mean, she knows it's political suicide.
Speaker 1: Am I wrong on that? I think she's being pushed
Speaker 1: by her her conference. And you know, I also really
Speaker 1: wonder if that's her true position of I think that
Speaker 1: that is her public position. She she wants to be
Speaker 1: dragged into an impeachment of not leading into an impeachment.
Speaker 1: That's kind of interesting because Newton was c greg Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House at the time of the Clinton impeachment,
Speaker 1: was seen as leading it and was was proud to
Speaker 1: lead it, and UH and most pundits seemed to feel
Speaker 1: like that didn't work out politically for Republicans. So you
Speaker 1: think Nancy wants to be seen as being drug into it.
Speaker 1: I I can't read minds. I I certainly wouldn't read
Speaker 1: her mind if I could read mind. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, the other shoes about to drop in this
Speaker 1: and that if she is genuinely hesitant, UH, it may
Speaker 1: be because she knows what is coming next. What's coming
Speaker 1: next is the Inspector General's report over the origins of
Speaker 1: this phony Steel Dothier that gave rise to this entire
Speaker 1: monstrous lie that the president was a trader colluding with
Speaker 1: a hostile foreign government of a special Council has already
Speaker 1: been appointed and is investigating the misconduct of the highest
Speaker 1: ranking officers in our intelligence agencies UH, in the FBI
Speaker 1: and the Justice Department UH and the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Speaker 1: which is headed by Lindsey Graham, is now looking at
Speaker 1: this very carefully. So my guess is that maybe they're
Speaker 1: looking down the road a little ways and realizing this
Speaker 1: thing could go south on us very quickly, and I
Speaker 1: think it will. Congressman Tom McClintock was one of only
Speaker 1: two perfect ratings by citizens against Government Waste, by the
Speaker 1: way for fighting wasteful government spending. That's why he's long
Speaker 1: been a friend of the Armstrong and Getty show. Listen,
Speaker 1: you made it clear you don't read minds. Maybe your
Speaker 1: psychic he can predict the future. Do you think the
Speaker 1: the the Molar speech yesterday will change the polls about
Speaker 1: how Americans feel about impeachment at all, because currently it's
Speaker 1: not even close. Most people don't want to, including Democrats. Uh.
Speaker 1: The polls have been very stable over this for a
Speaker 1: very long period of time, so including on the release
Speaker 1: of the Dacton report. Yeah, I mean, I I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't tell the future, but I can I can
Speaker 1: tell the past, and and the past is that the
Speaker 1: poll has been very stable on this. You know, Trump
Speaker 1: is a you know, let's face it, as a doesn't
Speaker 1: exactly have the sunny disposition of Ronald Reagan and whether
Speaker 1: you either love him or you hate him, and and
Speaker 1: it appears to be that's a very very stable and
Speaker 1: enduring emotion, no kidding, very good point or or as
Speaker 1: is increasingly well, not increasingly, but very popular among many
Speaker 1: of our listeners and many people around the country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a jerk, but he's our jerk. I told people
Speaker 1: during the campaign. Look, it wasn't my first choice, wasn't
Speaker 1: my second choice. But I can share as hell tell
Speaker 1: the difference between a fire and a fireman. And if
Speaker 1: a fireman is trying to save my house from burning down,
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's a bit of a jerk
Speaker 1: at home. Um, we we've known you for a long time.
Speaker 1: We know you're a fan of history, Mike. I have
Speaker 1: some concern with how casually everybody calls everybody else a
Speaker 1: liar or a traitor or that sort of thing. On
Speaker 1: on both sides. It's not just become commonplace for for
Speaker 1: some of you politicians to call your colleagues liars. That
Speaker 1: didn't used to happen. Ever, Are you worried about that? Well,
Speaker 1: it ever is a long time. It did in my
Speaker 1: in my modern in my modern life don't know nor
Speaker 1: in mind of I. I agree with you on that
Speaker 1: of politics has become increasingly uncivil, but it's not the
Speaker 1: first time time it's become increasingly uncivil. We saw that
Speaker 1: and lead up to the Civil War. Um Uh when
Speaker 1: when when you have to prince predict civil war breaking
Speaker 1: news on? No, No, I don't think it's going to
Speaker 1: get to that. But I do think that there's a
Speaker 1: similar dynamic taking place, and that is of in the
Speaker 1: in the mid nineteenth century, there were two principles that
Speaker 1: simply could not be reconciled, freedom and slavery. That was
Speaker 1: the crux of Lincoln's House Divided speech. He says, Look,
Speaker 1: we can't continue to be divided. These two principles cannot
Speaker 1: co exist forever. One had we have to become all
Speaker 1: one thing or all the other. Uh and uh, I
Speaker 1: think that wheels come full circle and now we've got
Speaker 1: two incompatible polar opposites, freedom and socialism. They cannot co
Speaker 1: exist forever. We have to become all one thing or
Speaker 1: all the other. Fact fact, you know, slavery and socialism
Speaker 1: basically have their roots in the same principle. And as
Speaker 1: as as as Lincoln put it. You work in toil
Speaker 1: and bread and I will eat it. Wow. Wow, well
Speaker 1: said I think the uh, the coexistence of the two
Speaker 1: things when you're talking about socialism, can last longer, and
Speaker 1: I think they're more easily reversed. The march towards either
Speaker 1: slave or free was just inexorable. That's why I don't
Speaker 1: think it's going to be as severe a test of
Speaker 1: our country as we've been through in the past. And
Speaker 1: that's the other thing is we've been through a lot
Speaker 1: worse times than these in the past. We've gotten through them.
Speaker 1: Do you think there are a substantial number of closet
Speaker 1: yes on impeachment Democrats or do you think it's mostly
Speaker 1: restricted to the infamous thirty eight people are discussing? Well,
Speaker 1: I again, I'm stepping across the line now and trying
Speaker 1: to see a future I can't see. But my guess
Speaker 1: is if it came to a vote, it be pretty
Speaker 1: much a party line vote. Wow and yeah, as a
Speaker 1: lot of things are. Congress from Tom McClintock represents the
Speaker 1: fourth District of California. Thomas, always great to get together.
Speaker 1: Let's do it again soon, my pleasure. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: You got it well, it's an interesting about the wholes
Speaker 1: gotta be all one thing or another. But I think
Speaker 1: that is true. We got that and that's where we
Speaker 1: are and that is the big break, and that's why
Speaker 1: we have so much disagreement. You you like big government
Speaker 1: taken over run and everything, and the other crowd doesn't.
Speaker 1: Socialism versus not. And yeah, I don't think I I
Speaker 1: just disagree with Tom. I don't think it's an all
Speaker 1: or nothing proposition. That's a matter of degrees. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you who I think is gonna win that battle. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: is a siren song that we're going to give you
Speaker 1: stuff when you're ready to ride Metro. We want you
