WEBVTT - Bombshell Durham Report Vindicates Trump! 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:01.680 Welcome. 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:04.520 It is verdict of Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:08.840 you as well, Senator. The Durham report is out and 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.120 it's very clear that it vindicates Donald Trump. I can't 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.920 believe I'm saying this, but even CNN said it vindicates 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.160 Donald Trump. It was very clear a witch hunt from 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.279 the deep State to go after the President of the 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.040 United States of America and to try to destroy him, 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.400 his family, his entire life, and to remind people of 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:33.240 how much they wanted to destroy Donald Trump. Let's remind 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:37.080 people of what Nancy Pelosi said when all this started 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:38.840 many years ago. 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:44.080 This week we saw cold hard evidence of the Trump campaign, 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:51.680 indeed the Trump family eagerly intending to collude, possibly with Russia, 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:58.320 a hostile foreign power, to influence American elections in the month. Again, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.160 as we celebrate the courage of our founders, Republicans in 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:07.679 Congress have become enablers of the Trump Russia assault on 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:12.240 our democracy. After these latest revelations, it's becoming clear we 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:17.120 have suffered a desecration of our democracy not seen since Watergate. 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:22.160 Speaker Ryan must allow a vote on an outside, independent 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.839 kit mission to get to the bottom of the Trump 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.759 campaign's rule in Russia's assault on our democracy, and prevent 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:34.319 Putin from ever doing it again. Immediately outside independent commission. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.920 It's not just about what happened in the past, is 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.160 to prevent it from happening again. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:41.520 Send her. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.959 She knew she was lying, and she was calling for 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.960 a full on investigation of Donald Trump, and she got. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.360 It every word. Nancy Pelosi said, there was a lie. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.559 You're right. She knew she was lying. The media knew 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.600 she was lying, The Department of Justice knew she was lying. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:06.160 The FBI knew she was not lying. Congressional Democrat leadership 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.280 knew she was lying. As I read this report, I'm angry. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.560 I'm angry on multiple fronts. Let me quote from the 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.720 Durham Report. Quote. Based on the evidence gathered in the 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.600 multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:27.880 the Incidant investigation, neither US law enforcement nor the intelligence 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:34.720 community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.840 in their holdings. At the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:45.519 the report continues, quote, our investigation determined that the Crossfire 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:51.520 Hurricane investigators did not and could not corroborate any any 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.880 of the substantive allegations contained in the Steel reporting, Nor 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.000 was Steel able to produce corroboration for any of the 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:07.600 reported allegations, even after being offered one million dollars or 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:13.160 more by the FBI for such corroboration. This investigation was 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.600 started as a lie, and it was started as a 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.680 political witch hunt. Actually, the words Trump used were accurate. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.239 This was a witch hunt. This was Democrats in Congress. 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.240 This was rabid left wing partisans burrowed into the FBI. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.000 This was rabid left wing partisans burrowed in the Department 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.840 of Justice, all using the machinery of law enforcement to 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.800 target what was then the Republican nominee for president. This 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.200 is a grotesque abuse of power. And if you're not 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.800 angry at it, even if you were a Democrat, even 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.840 if you can't stand Trump, the idea that the federal 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.480 government would go after one of the two major party 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.720 nominees and try to destroy them because they hate him, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.440 is an incredible threat to our liberty and to our democracy. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.280 And I use those words without a sense of irony, 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.839 because the Democrats, as you just played, Nancy Pelosi said, 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:16.560 we're defending democracy. Defending democracy. She was engaged in as 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.880 fundamental an assault on democracy as our country has ever seen. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.520 It was using law enforcement to try to prevent the 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.680 American people from electing someone she didn't want, and then 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.479 to try to remove a duly elected president because she 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.680 hated the voters for electing it. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.800 Is it too strong center to call this, and I 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.520 think it's time just that we're blunt. Is this was 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.920 this basically an essence of coup attempt by the deep 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.400 state to say, we don't like who the American people chose, 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.640 and therefore we're going to fix it by on false pretenses, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.400 framing someone for crimes, framing somebody for things they never did, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.400 writing a script to frame them for it, and then 0:04:58.480 --> 0:04:59.720 get rid of that person. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.919 So yes and no, there were some engaged in a 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.960 coup attempt. In fact, if I may be so bold 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.560 as to use the word insurrection, when you're trying to 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.920 topple a duly elected government, it's an insurrection. And what 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.960 Nancy Pelosi was trying to do, what Congressional Democrats were 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.160 trying to do, was an insurrection. I think some of 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.520 the hard partisans at DOJ and the FBI were doing 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.480 the same I think others were just complacents. So let 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.240 me read again from the Durham Report quote. Based on 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.520 the review of Crossfire, Hurricane, and related intelligence activities, we 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.599 concluded that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:47.080 their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.240 connection with certain events and activities described in this report. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:56.200 As noted, former FBI Attorney Kevin Klin Smith committed a 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.640 criminal offense by fabricating language and an EBA that was 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.159 material to the FBI in obtaining a PHISIS surveillance order. 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:10.080 In other instance, FBI personnel working on the same PHIZ 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:18.760 application displayed at best a cavalier attitude towards accuracy and completeness. Now, 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.760 the Durham Report continues. Our investigation also revealed that senior 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:29.719 FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:35.800 the information that they received, especially information from politically affiliated 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.960 persons and entities, and the report continues. In light of 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.480 the foregoing, there is a continuing need for the FBI 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.719 and the Department to recognize that lack of analytical rigor, 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:53.039 apparent confirmation bias, and an over willingness to rely on 0:06:53.120 --> 0:07:00.440 information from individuals connected to political opponents caused investigators fail 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.880 to adequately consider alternative hypotheses and to act without appropriate 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:10.720 objectivity or restraint in pursuing allegations of collusion or conspiracy 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:15.320 between a US political campaign and a foreign power. This 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.400 is deming and it shows a combination of people on 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.600 a mission to destroy their political opponents and perfectly happy 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.720 to use law enforcement to do it, and others who 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.200 had such a sense of laxity that they were perfectly 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.360 fine to be part of the process. And no one 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.600 who stood up and said, what the hell are we doing? 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.960 And that's what I wonder. Is there no one in DOJ, 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.840 no one in FBI who had a shred of integrity, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.720 who said, even if they're a Democrat, gosh, I don't 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.720 like Trump, but we don't have evidence here to launch 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.880 a massive investigation to try to influence and shift the 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.440 results of an election and try to remove a duly 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:05.720 elected president. As far as this report indicates, nobody had 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:06.480 that integrity. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.560 Say that, I want to talk about naming names, and 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.880 I think this is part of the accountability that the 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.360 American People Center are just sick and tired of. And 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.000 I've got a list of people, and I want to 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.920 ask you if you believe are they guilty? And should 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.120 the American people trust them? And before I go through 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.400 that list, I want to talk to you about our 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.640 friends O her Chok.

Let's go through this list and very 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:44.160 very clearly, let's let's talk about the players. First of all, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.880 let's start at the top with the FBI. Is it 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.880 clear that the FBI was guilty of lying to the 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:49.640 American people? 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.760 Unquestionably yes, and in fact it is a fact. So 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.640 Andrew klin Smith, who I mentioned before, he was an 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.160 assistant General counsel at the FBI. He fabricated, he created 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:08.560 a counterfeit document, he committed a felony, and the circumstances 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.880 of that. As you know, we've talked about this in 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.800 the pod. Before the last book, I wrote Justice Corrupted, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.040 How the Left has weaponized the legal system, and I 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.800 encourage folks go by Justice Corrupted. There's an entire chapter 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.840 that walks through what the DOJ did, what the FBI did. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:31.680 But Andrew Klinesmith was seeking a wire tap on Carter Page. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.400 Carter Page was an academic. He was giving foreign policy 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.760 advice to the Trump campaign. This is in twenty sixteen, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.880 in the summer and fall of twenty sixteen, and the 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.040 basis for the wiretap was carter Page was talking to 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.839 some shady Russians. Now, generally speaking, you probably shouldn't talk 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.200 to shady Russians. But Andrew Klinesmith engaged in a little 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.000 due diligence and he sent an email to the CIA 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.240 and he asked, Hey, is this guy carter Page a 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.280 source for the CIA? Now, if you think about it, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.520 the fact that you're talking to shady Russians, ordinarily maybe 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.920 that would be a cause for suspicion. But if you're 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.920 working for the CIA, if you're doing it on behalf 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.160 of the United States government, if you're serving the American 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.880 people by talking to shady Russians, that doesn't raise suspicion. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.960 That's actually a good thing. You ought to say, thank you. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.160 So Andrew clin Smith emails the CIA says it's carter 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.760 Page a source for you. CIA emails back and says, yes, 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.640 he is a source. And Andrew klin Smith he was 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.840 such a hard court partisan. He hated Trump so much. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.400 He was in an environment where he was surrounded by 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.160 hardcore partisans that hated Trump so much they wanted to 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.120 go after him. He takes that email and he alters it, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.080 and he doesn't alter it slightly. The email says, yes, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.960 carter Page is a source. And Andrew klin Smith changes 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:01.160 the email to say, no, carter Pages not. So he 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.440 alters it so it says one hundred and eighty degrees 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.120 the opposite of what it said. And then he takes 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.839 that fraudulent counterfeit document. He submits it to the federal court, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.880 the FISA Court, and that becomes one of the important 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:22.600 bases for seeking the wiretap. That is an absolute bombshell 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.320 of the FBI lying to the American people. And listen, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.560 did the other people of the FBI lie, not directly, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.280 but they created the environment where the DOJ and the 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:40.520 FBI viewed getting Donald Trump as the preeminent objective, and 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:45.120 so they were willing to ignore the evidence and critically. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.280 Look you look at what Durham said. They had plenty 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.959 of indication that this Steel report was garbage, that it 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.160 came for, that it was paid for by the Hillary 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.800 Clinton campaign, that was paid for by the DNC, and 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.440 by the way law enforcement and campaign Auto view with 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.640 great skepticism. Any OPO document that they receive from someone's 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.240 political opponent doesn't mean it could never be accurate, but 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.320 they ought to recognize whoever prepared this document has every 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.600 incentive to lie, to twist the facts. They want to 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.760 tear this person down. So we should be skeptical. We 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.480 should not accept it as face value. Because DOJ and 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.960 the FBI hated Trump so much, they had none of 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.640 that skepticism, and that is a failure in the very 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.720 foundations of how law enforcement is supposed to operate. 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.400 The scary part is what you just explained is just 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.920 the FBI. So let's move on to the DOJ. Are 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.040 they guilty of lying to the American people as well? 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:47.040 Of course they are. And it the DOJ. You had 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:51.480 people like Bruce Orr, whose wife was working with Fusion GPS, 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.400 which was the OPO research firm being paid for by 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.720 Hillary Clinton, and Bruce Or was an associate Deputy Attorney 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.280 General at the Department of Justice. By the way, under 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.560 George W. Bush, I was an Associate Deputy Attorney General 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.000 at the Department of Justice. I've had that job as 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.160 an aside. How many times do you have a job 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:15.040 that has that many modifiers. Associate deputy attorney general. It's 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.160 a little weird. Government's weird. They call that in DOJ 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.080 parlance an ADAG. By the way, there's a more complicated acronym, 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:27.160 which is their multiple associate deputies deputy attorneys general. There's 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.440 also one who is the principal Associate Deputy attorney General. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.080 Instead of an ADAG, that person's called a PAYDAG because 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.520 government can't exist without acronyms. But Bruce Or was an ADAG. 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.040 His wife, Nellie Or, was working for Fusion GPS, which 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:49.240 was on the payroll of Hillary Clinton. And once the 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.640 FBI and the Department of Justice stopped dealing with Steele, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.080 who created the Steel dossier because he had all sorts 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.680 of reasons to be untrustworthy, Bruce Or and Nelly Or 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.400 became a back channel and he didn't tell anyone, so 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.080 it was the Department of Justice again. He was perfectly 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.640 willing to circumvent the process because he hated Donald Trump. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:15.360 And it's important to understand the environment. Everyone there thought 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.560 there is no universe in which Trump can win, so 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.160 we can use all of government to attack him because 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.240 Hillary Clinton will be president and we'll have some radical 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.960 left winger as attorney general, and so whatever we do, 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.760 we'll never see the light of day. No one will 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:36.440 know it because Trump will lose. We're safe. And then 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.960 suddenly Trump won and they're like, holy crap, what do 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.000 we do? What do we do? And they made a decision. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:46.520 So November December twenty sixteen January twenty seventeen, they had 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.440 a moment where they could have said, you know, abandon ship, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.600 let's stop this attack. He's the newly elected president. Let's 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.160 respect democracy. He's the president. We don't like him, but 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:01.600 he's the president. Let's accept as legitimate. Not only didn't 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.400 do that, they made the decision to do everything they 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:09.640 could to tear him down. This was, I believe, the 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:14.720 greatest internal coup within the federal government that our nation 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.360 has ever seen. And Trump said they're wiretapping me. He 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.320 was right. Trump said they're coming after me. He was right. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.600 Trump said this is a witch hunt. He was right. Listen. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.840 There are lots of things that Trump says and does 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.800 that I don't agree with, but the behavior of DOJ 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:38.320 and the FBI in this investigation is, without exaggeration, the 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.400 most shameful chapter in the history of the Department of 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.800 Justice and the FBI, and there is yet to be 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.880 real accountability for this absolute abuse of power. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.120 Yeah, it's it's truly incredible to see two organizations use 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.120 this way. Let's start talking about individuals. Senator James Comy. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.000 Did he lie to the American people. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.960 Repeatedly, shamelessly, unabashedly. Look James Comy as someone who is 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:10.760 deeply political. He was deeply political under George W. Bush. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.520 He was Deputy Attorney General under George W. Bush. He 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.480 was deeply political under Barack Obama. He held his big 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.760 press conference where he said, Okay, Hillary violated the law 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.080 when she dealt with her emails, but it's not enough 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.360 to indict. That was not the job of an FBI director. 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:33.399 But I think James Comy fancies himself as j Edgar Hoover. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.080 He wanted to be the most powerful FBI director ever. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.760 He wanted to use his power. And look, when I 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.800 look back to the Trump presidency, there are many many 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.320 big victories that we won during the Trump presidencies, victories 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.639 that I worked hand in hand with Donald Trump to 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.520 win big victories for the American people. When I look 0:17:55.600 --> 0:18:00.639 back at mistakes in the Trump presidency. There were multiple, 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.040 but I don't know that any was as big as 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.280 the fact that Trump did not fire James Comy on 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.639 January twentieth, twenty seventeen. I believe Donald Trump should have 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.399 called James Comy in and said, mister Comy, thank you 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.600 for your service to the nation. Your services are no 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.760 longer required. And the Trump White House, I think, very 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:23.040 naively believe they could co opt James Comy, they could 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:24.920 bring him on board, they could make him on board 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.840 the team, and they did not understand the radiant ambition 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:33.000 in James Comy, where Komy went in wanting to take 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.360 down Donald Trump, and he should have. If he'd been 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.800 fired on day one, it would have saved the Trump 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:44.879 administration thousands upon thousands of hours of misery. And it 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.280 was a serious mistake because Comy was more than happy 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.159 to try to weaponize the FBI against a president he 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.720 did not like and did not agree with. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.800 Let's talk about the biggest liar of all who started all, 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.879 Hillary Clinton, And should Hillary Clinton have actually not just 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.160 be called a liar center, but should she be held 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.160 accountable for what she did? And let me remind everybody 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:16.159 of what Hillary Clinton said about this lie back in 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.560 the day. In one of her interviews. 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.119 To our future, the damage being done to our values, 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.119 our institutions, and try to think of ways that I 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.119 can help those who are on the front lines of 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:26.480 the fight. 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.800 Your name doesn't come up much on any campaign, except 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.320 for Donald Trump's lock her up is still a big 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.240 popular line. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.960 I believe he knows he's an illegitimate president. He knows 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:45.920 he knows that there were a bunch of different reasons 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.920 why the election turned out the way it did, and 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.040 I take responsibility for those parts of it. 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:51.840 That I should. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.919 But Jane, it was like applying for a job and 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:59.359 getting sixty six million letters of recommendation and losing to 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.760 a corrupt human tornado, And so I know that he 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.959 knows that this wasn't on the level. I don't know 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.760 that we'll ever know everything that happened, but clearly we 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.120 know a lot and are learning more every day, and. 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.040 History will probably sort it all out. 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.480 So of course he's obsessed with me, and I believe 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.320 that it's a guilty conscience insomuch as. 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.160 It's a guilty conscience quoting knows he's an illegitimate president. 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.800 I know that he knows this wasn't on the level. 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.080 History will probably sort it all out when we now 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:31.920 know the history. 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.560 Senator Well, I got to say, in twenty twenty three, 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.840 I'm shocked to hear a Democrat saying that someone is 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:44.960 an illegitimate president, because I thought that was like undermining democracy. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:50.120 I thought that was election denihalism. And you'll recall when 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:54.959 I went last year, last October on the View it 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.960 was all right, candidly, you want to talk about some 0:20:58.000 --> 0:20:59.680 of the most fun twenty four hours I had in 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:00.399 my life. 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:03.520 That was a great trip for you. 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:09.119 So on October evening at CRISP beautiful Fall evening, I 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.240 go up to New York City and I go to 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:16.440 Yankee Stadium, and in Yankee Stadium, I watch my Houston 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:21.160 Astros sweep the Yankees. In Yankee Stadium, it's game four. 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.640 We won four games in a row in the Alcs, 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.680 And as you know, I was in the second row 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:35.159 behind home plate, and I was in bright orange Astros colors, 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.720 proudly representing the Astros. And I got to say, there 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.720 were at least one hundred, if not more, New Yorkers 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:47.640 who suggested that I do something anatomically impossible. They were 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.879 fairly energized. They were fairly pissed. And look my response 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.159 when they were mad, I just smile and point up 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.520 and say scoreboard, because look, I get it. If you're 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.680 a sports fan and you go into the opposing team, 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.879 stay and you sweep them, they're pissed. That was fun, 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:06.960 I will say. And by the way, the press and 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:11.240 the Twitter went crazy with all the people yelling expletives 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.040 at me, they didn't actually write down the hundreds of 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.800 New Yorkers who took pictures with me and said, even 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.040 in Yankee Stadium, thank you for fighting to save our country. 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.600 Now they also said, I hate the Astras and want 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:24.760 the Yankees to win. Okay, that's great. That's sports. That's 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.719 the beauty of sports as you root for your teams. 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.399 The next day, after we swept the Yankees and went 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:33.760 to the World Series and went on to win the 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:37.760 World Series, not to irritate any of the sore sentiments 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.760 of other teams that did not win last year, but 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.320 the next day I went on the View, and the View, 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.879 if anything, the view was more hostile than being in 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.000 Yankee Stadium in Game four of the Alcs in Astras, 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:56.760 aren't the view, These rabid left wing women. And by 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:58.640 the way, they were nasty when the camera was off. 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:03.000 It wasn't even just like that's their persona. They look 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.840 at you men, they look at me, they look at conservatives. 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.400 They hate us. But one of the things they said 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.919 is they screamed, you are election deniers. And I pulled 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.879 out quote after quote that I brought with me of 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.880 Hillary Clinton saying what you just played, of Joe Biden 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:23.879 saying that George W. Bush was an illegitimate president over 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.679 and over again, Democrats saying this, and they didn't know 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.199 what to say. In response, They're just like, no, no, 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.960 we have alternate facts. We don't believe democrats have ever 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:37.480 said that. And what's funny. A couple of weeks later, 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:41.239 Chelsea Clinton, Hillary's daughter, was on the view and they 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.720 asked her. They said, Cruz said that your mom denied 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:49.040 the election was legitimate. What do you say to that? 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.400 And Chelsea was perfectly happy to repeat their talking points 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.960 and say, oh, my mom never said that. Now, mind you, 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.920 what Hillary said is public record. She said that repeatedly, 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:03.400 that he's an illegitim at president. Why because Democrats are 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:08.160 willing to abuse government and to lie when they don't 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:09.960 get the political outcome they want. 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.280 No doubt. There's also another part of this. 0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:17.280 It's infuriating for I think so many Americans listening center, 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:20.879 and that's the fact you just mentioned obviously Hillary Clinton there, 0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.200 but you mentioned James call Me. You have Andrew McCabe, 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:28.240 you have Peter Struck, you have Lisa Page How, You've 0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:33.479 got the FISA judges. You've brought Rod Rosenstein, you have 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:38.920 Christopher Ray, you have Lisa Monico, you have John Brennan, 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:44.840 You've got James Clapper, Christopher Steele, and John Podesta. 0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.680 So, Ben, are you trying to piss me off like 0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:52.600 like with with that array of names. I'm sitting here 0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:55.479 very common, peaceful, and you and you really are like 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:56.800 pushing my buttons. 0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:00.280
