1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of legal news this week, with 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump in DC to attend an appeals court hearing 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: over the scope of his presidential immunity as he faces 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: continued prosecution from Jack Smith. You've also got Hutter Biden 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: making his first court appearance a connection to his criminal 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: tax case. Of course, he was charged with nine counts 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: in December. So we're going to dig into some of 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: those issues and how does that impact the twenty twenty 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: four election when you look at the stuff that Hunter 10 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: Biden is being charged with, as well as what the 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: left is trying to do to Donald Trump. So in 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: this case, we're going to turn to Matt Whittaker for 13 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: his take on all of this. He of course was 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: the acting United States Attorney General under President Trump. He's 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: also an Iowan, so we're going to get his take 16 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: as someone who was born in Iowa, who attended the 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: University of Iowa. He was a tight end for the Hawkeyes. 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: He also served as a United States Attorney for the 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: Southern District of Iowa. So we're going to get his 20 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: take on all these legal issues from this past week 21 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: and also get into a little bit of presidential politics 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: as someone who's there in the state of Iowa, and 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: you will be out, you know, caucusing on January fifteenth. 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: Stay tuned for Matt Whitaker. Well, Matt, it's great to 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: have you back on. You've been in Iowa. Give us 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: the temperature, you know what, we'll freezing, I'm sure, but 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, tell us what you're hearing from voters and 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: caucus goers there. 29 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: It's interesting. I mean, you know, obviously the circus comes 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: to town every four years, and Iowans are a very 31 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: politically savvy group, especially at the base of the base 32 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: that turns out for the Iowa Caucuses, and so there's enthusiasm. 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to probably be similar to 34 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, you know, but there's just not as many 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: candidates and you know, and so all things being equal, 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: I think we're going to have a good caucus, a 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: good turn out. It's not going to be probably record breaking. 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: And these candidates, you know, President Trump and the vat 39 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: Roma Swami and Governor DeSantis and Nikki Haley have all 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: spent a lot of time there. And you know the 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: famous thing I like to tell my friends from out 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: of the state, you know, Iowa call us go typically 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 2: when you ask them who they're supporting to say, or 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: if you ask them about a particular candidate, So I 45 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: really don't know. I've only met that person three times. 46 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: So I mean, they're very you know, they're they're connoisseurs. 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: They show up, they want to ask their questions, they 48 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: want to meet these people, and so I would expect, 49 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: you know, a very discerning judgment here on on Monday. 50 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: Do you think, you know, looking at what the polls 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: have been indicating and then being on the ground, do. 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: You think that's what we're going to see? Will there 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 3: be any surprises? 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any surprises. There's two things I'm watching, 55 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: and you know, full disclosure, I've endorsed President Trump, who 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: I worked for and as the zach Entary General, so 57 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 2: I know it well. But the things I'm watching is, 58 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: you know, does President Trump get fifty percent of total 59 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: of the total vote? And then you know, the record 60 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty eight was set in a competitive caucus 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: by the margin of victory of twelve points, and so 62 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: I would you know that I would see if if 63 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: President Trump can win by more than twelve that would 64 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: be unprecedented record. You know, the highest percent was in 65 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: two thousand, George W. Bush got forty one percent, a 66 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: little over forty one percent. So those are the two 67 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: numbers that I'm kind of tracking. I don't believe the 68 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: polls were President Trump is not going to win by 69 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: thirty plus points. If he does, I would say the 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: contest is pretty close to over nationally because that would 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: be just a blowout victory. But you know, I think 72 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: I think those you know, smart people that are paying 73 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: attention think that President Trump probably gonna win by fifteen 74 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: plus points, which again would be a record in Iowa 75 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: caucus history. 76 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm sure he's trying to get as 77 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: high as he can to try to then you know, 78 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: push some of these other guys out of the race 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: and cleared the field I wanted to. You know, obviously, 80 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: he was off the campaign trail in d C. To 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: attend an appeals court hearing about presidential immunity from this 82 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: prosecution he's facing from Jack Smith. 83 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: Where do you think that case is going? And does 84 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: he have a case for presidential immunity? 85 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things. You think about what he 86 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: did in twenty four hours. See, he went to the 87 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: appeals argument. He flew to Iowa, did the town hall 88 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: with Marcia and and Brett and then and then and 89 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: then went back to the final closing arguments for his 90 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: fraud trial in New York. And then you know, in 91 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: the meantime, you know, he's obviously his mother in law 92 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: has passed away, and so he's dealing with that. You know, he's, 93 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: he's he's just tireless. You know. The presidential community case 94 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: is very interesting, and you know, I've heard a lot 95 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: of legal commentary, you know, across the spectrum, and I 96 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: think I think there is a belief that certainly there 97 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: is a limit to presidential immunity. And the question is, 98 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: are these allegations in Jacksmith's case within the limit, you know, 99 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: that the outer bounds of those limits, because you know, 100 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: the media love to talk about this, you know, hypothetical 101 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: about you know, if the Seal Team six was ordered 102 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: to go murder of political opponent, I think everybody, all 103 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: Americans would create us probably outside of the bounds of 104 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: presidential immunity. And so you know, but the question is 105 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: where are those bounds? And I don't think there's a 106 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: good case law on that right now. And you know, 107 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: every you know, at least I think I don't know 108 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: if we've talked about it before, but I you know, 109 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: I certainly believe in all these President Trump's cases, these 110 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: are all novel legal theories, right, They're all there's no 111 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: case law on this. It's never been seen before, it's 112 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: never been tried by prosecutors. You know what. I was 113 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: a prosecutor here at Des Moines, Iowa for five and 114 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: a half years. You know, the cases we would bring 115 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: were within fact patterns, and we had case law and 116 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: the well worn road of prosecutions. And in Jack Smith cases, 117 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: he's trying novel legal theories. And uh, you know, Fanny 118 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: Willis down in Fulden Counties trying novel legal theories. Alvin 119 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: Bragg in Manhattan novel legal theories, and Letitia James has 120 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: never brought a case under this code section in New 121 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: York history. And so all of these things are sort 122 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: of you know, first impression. And it's hard, you know, 123 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: for somebody like me that you know, is kind of 124 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: a basic blocking and tackling lawyer, you know, main street 125 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 2: kind of prosecutor to to to figure out exactly what's 126 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: going on or how he's going to turn out, because 127 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 2: it's to some extent. It's going to depend on the judges, 128 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: uh and how how they ultimately judge these cases and 129 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: what the evidence shows. 130 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we know they're going to you know, keep 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: them pretty tied up in the court over the next 132 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: few months. Is that their strategy is to keep them 133 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: off the campaign field. And then also, you know, how 134 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: will that impact us with you know, wanting to get 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: him in the White House if he's the nominee. 136 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sure looks like that's part of the strategies 137 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: to try to bottle him up and process and proceedings 138 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: and not allow him to campaign as much. I mean, 139 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: like I said in the last twenty four hours, I mean, 140 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: he still he did it in spite of anything. And 141 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: you know, he's a very effective campaigner, and his people 142 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: are willing to show up for him, and you know, 143 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: he's had obviously a lot of high profile supporters nationally 144 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: that are also willing to do some of the heavy 145 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: lifting of the campaigning. But there's no substitute for the candidate, 146 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: and so you know it's going to certainly affect that. 147 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: I think the biggest concern I have as I look 148 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: at these legal proceedings is just how aggressive Jack Smith 149 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: has been to try to bress this Washington d the 150 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: case he's got to. He brought the case mostly because 151 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: you know, he knew that the judge in Florida was 152 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: maybe not going to see the world the same way 153 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: he sees it. And it most likely gives Trump the 154 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 2: time he needs given that he's running a national campaign 155 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: for president. But I think Jack Smith has found a 156 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: judge in Judge Shutkin in Washington, d C. That's willing 157 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: to press this case. But obviously the immunity case has 158 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: been appealed already and the Supreme Court didn't put it 159 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: on a rocket docket, so they you know, the Eth 160 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: Circuit has it, and then they'll probably appeal to an 161 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: on bunk and then ultimately Supreme Court. So I don't 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: know if they're going to be able to hold that 163 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: prial date. It was supposed to start the day before 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: Super Tuesday on March fourth, March fifth being superdud there. 165 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: Do you think that goal then with Jack Smith, as 166 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: he's trying to get a conviction before election day, is 167 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: that what he's gutting for here? 168 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: Yes? No, no, no doubt. In my mind, the polling 169 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: shows that a conviction could influence you know, the swing 170 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: voters in their decisions, and so I think that's exactly 171 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: what Jack Smith's trying to do. I think it's a shame. 172 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: You know, defendants typically are given a lot of leniency 173 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: when it comes to the timing, and especially First Amendment 174 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: considerations and political campaigns are typically given consideration by the courts. 175 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: But you know, in this case, obviously you are never 176 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: stray too far from Trump duragement syndrome. That it affects 177 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: a lot on the left, and it appears to really 178 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: you know, Washington, d C. Is not friendly Trump territory, 179 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of you know, friends that 180 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 2: he's going to find in the courthouse in Washington, d C. 181 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: So we're just going to have to see if people 182 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: give him a fair hearing and consider his legitimate arguments. 183 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not hilarious because it's despicable, but I 184 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: guess there's got to be some humor in the fact 185 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: that they're talking about a threat to democracy while simultaneously 186 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: trying to unilaterally remove him from ballots and states and 187 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: deny people the opportunity to vote for him. 188 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 3: But so that's the world that we live in. 189 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: That is that is the definition of iron. 190 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: It's like it's like, I don't it's not funny, but 191 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: it's like I just feel like in this crazy world, 192 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: you almost. 193 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: Kind of just have to laugh or it's it's too much. 194 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: I feel the same way. I think that, you know, 195 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: the other thing that just show I mean, the left 196 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: always shows how they really despise our systems and our 197 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: you know, constitutional rights. And the way that Colorado violated 198 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 2: the due process of President Trump and took him remove 199 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: him from the ballot. And then the way that the 200 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: main Secretary of State just absolutely unilaterally, you know, used 201 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: power she thinks she has to take him off the ballot. 202 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: It just shows you the left just it will do 203 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: anything to not have Donald Trump run for president because 204 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: they know that, you know, it's and when he wins, 205 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: it is going to change our country for the better 206 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: and obviously is not going to serve you know, their 207 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 2: world view, which is a steady march towards the cliff 208 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: of socialism and the really of our you know, liberty 209 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: and freedoms during the United States. 210 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: Take a quick commercial break more with Matt Whittaker. My 211 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: biggest concern is I just I don't know how independents 212 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: are going to view all this when it comes down to, 213 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: you know, leading into election day. I think that's that's 214 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: the big question mark for me. Do they see this 215 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: as a political hit job or do they buy the 216 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: argument that they're being told and sold. I don't know. 217 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: I don't know yet. You know, there's there's there's kind 218 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: of mixed messages out of these swing states at Pennsylvania, Michigan, 219 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: Wis Thompson, Arizona and the Battle those kind of places. 220 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: I think it's too soon to tell. I think there's 221 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: just going to be have to be a lot more 222 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: road behind us in this twenty twenty four election before 223 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 2: we really know what's going to happen. 224 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: Speaking of you know, irony in the sense of what 225 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: we're talking about with the you know, trying to you know, 226 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: talk about democracy while trying to remove him from the ballot. 227 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: You've also got Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis, who 228 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: is prosecuting Donald Trump from racketeering charges, who has recently 229 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: been accused of having a romantic relationship with a Special 230 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: prosecutor Nathan Wade, who you know, she's involved in this, 231 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: and he's made I think something like nearly a million 232 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,119 Speaker 1: dollars in legal fees since he was appointed. 233 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: Could that sink her case? 234 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: And you know, and that obviously she's going after Trump 235 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: alleging that he's corrupt, and then she's engaged in something 236 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: that is entirely improper and you know, corrupt. So you know, 237 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, how do you think this will 238 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: impact it? 239 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: Will it impact it? You know, what's what's your take 240 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: on that? 241 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: Quite possibly some extent it We just we have an 242 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: allegation and we don't know the extent of of this 243 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: allegation and how much is true. But you know, certainly 244 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 2: on the headline is very shocky. And you know, the 245 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: suggestion that he, you know, was essentially pushing money to 246 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: his law firm and then they were and going on 247 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 2: trips and essentially funding a lifestyle she couldn't afford as 248 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: a public servant. I think is is offensive. I think 249 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 2: the voting public and the taxpayers of Fulton County are 250 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: going to be very upset if their money was funneled 251 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,479 Speaker 2: to this guy so that he could romance the prosecutor. 252 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: And so, you know, I think we're just gonna have 253 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: to see how it plays out. Ultimately. I'm not sure 254 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: that it has a dramatic impact into the Trump case 255 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: other than you know, to your point, which is, you know, 256 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's pretty rich to have a corrupt prosecutor, 257 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: you know, choosing somebody else of being corrupt. It's it's 258 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 2: really irony is probably the best word we have in 259 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: the English language, but does not do enough to you know, 260 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: really capture what's going on here. 261 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: Well, it also just kind of like underscores that this 262 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: is all political, right because clearly, you know, they don't 263 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: care about democracy if they're trying to remove him from 264 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: the ballot. They don't care about the rule of law 265 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: if they're doing improper things themselves. So you know, it 266 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: just sort of underscores and you know, demonstrates why they're 267 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: really doing all this. 268 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and apparently you know. 269 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: He purchased tickets for them to travel on like cruise 270 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: lines like the Royal Caribbean and they went to nap 271 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: about So I mean that seems like it should be 272 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: illegal if she's paying him this money and then essentially 273 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: sort of getting this kickback in the in the uh, 274 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, in the way of you know, travel paid 275 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: travel right from him. So I don't know if that's 276 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: illegal or not, but it should be ver least it all. 277 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's certainly unethical, you know, and based on 278 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: these types of statutes that they're trying to get, you know, 279 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: to again for the first time apply to you know, 280 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump and what they you know, accuse his behavior 281 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: being certainly the sound like are you know a Fanny 282 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: Willis Rico conspiracy? To me, doesn't it? 283 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: It's it's wild stuff. 284 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to you know, Hunter Biden interrupted a House 285 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee vote overholding him in contempt of Congress. You know, 286 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: he showed up. Apparently they weren't expecting them. Why do 287 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: you think he did that? Uh, you know what point 288 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: was he was he trying to make? And what do 289 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: you think they're they're reasoning. 290 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was trying to make the point that hey, 291 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: I'm willing to show up. I've been willing to show up, 292 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: just not based on you know, I just won't do 293 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: a closed door deposition. And I think they've done a 294 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: good job messaging kind of their their position. I thought 295 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: your colleague Jonathan Turley had the best quote of you know, 296 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: the coverage, which was, you know, if you're gonna if 297 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: you're going to you know, be part of the circus. 298 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: You don't have to put on the big shoes in 299 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: the red nose and talking about the Democrats, you know, 300 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: trying to support Hunter Biden at that at that at 301 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: that committee hearing. But you know, abu Ole is a 302 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: very talented, sophisticated political operator and lawyer in Washington, d C. 303 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: So this, you know, was all intentional and the you know, 304 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: the what happened was exactly what they wanted to happen. 305 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: And once they had received enough of it, then they 306 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: walked out and were able to sort of you know, 307 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: make it, you know, get the video and and and 308 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: again overcome uh and change the narrator. Ultimately, there was 309 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: going to be a hearing to vote on contempt charges 310 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: and that was overwhelmed by just you know, the spectacle 311 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: of her Biden sitting in the front row with his lawyers, 312 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: as you know is uh bong ripping best buddy and benefactor. 313 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: You know.

And I think 329 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: he should have been in this serious trouble a while back. 330 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: You know, I think he had this unbelievable sweet artdeal 331 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: not only the statue of limitations, did it run and 332 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: was allowed to run, which prosepcutors should never have done 333 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: for his most lucrative packs here to twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. 334 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: But you know, he was getting kind of this deferred 335 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 2: judgment on the guns, and he's getting misdemeanors on the taxes. 336 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: Now he's facing you know, three felony gun charges, three 337 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: felony tax charges. Everything else is a misting miror is 338 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: gonna have probably a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge potentially 339 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 2: if the part Adjustice you know, willing to bring that, 340 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: similar to the way they charged Banning and others, Peter Navarro, 341 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: and so all that being said, I think, you know, 342 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: it is yet to be seen, but this is much 343 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 2: more serious than that deal he had up in Delaware 344 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: where he almost walked away with you know, with his 345 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: with a slap on the rest to your point. 346 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: And his attorney, I mean, he helped kind of blow 347 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: that up too. So I mean, do you think would 348 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: he have been smarter to just you know, taken some 349 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: sort of deal or taken that deal. 350 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, he should have done it much faster. And you know, 351 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: I mean what happened was once the you know, people 352 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: started complaining about it and shining a lantern on it, 353 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: obviously the judge took a close look at it, and 354 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: then the US attorney replaced the trial team who probably 355 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: took a closer look at it. And you know, they 356 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: had a really advantageous deal for Hunter, and you know, 357 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: just they just couldn't get it across the goal line 358 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: because there was just too much interest and attention on it. 359 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: And again it was you would never have done that deal. 360 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 2: I was a Us' trade for five and n half years, 361 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: and you know, you just would have never offered that 362 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: deal if you were serious about prosecuting someone. And so 363 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: it just demonstrates, what, you know, kind of how ridiculous 364 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 2: this was. And then they appoint you know, the Special 365 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: Council as the guy who had agreed to this deal 366 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: in the first place. So the whole thing to me 367 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: seems like Hunter Biden was getting every advantage of being 368 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: the president's son and that shouldn't be the case. You know, 369 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: in are in a system where allegedly, you know, justice 370 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: is blind. 371 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean I remember those days there. Those 372 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: are a nice days, Matt. We don't have those anymore. 373 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: Do you think Republicans in Congress, particularly the House, are 374 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: doing a good enough job of trying to tie Joe 375 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: Biden into all of this and to try to prosecute 376 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: the case against him with his business dealings at least? 377 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: I think the biggest problem for the Republicans in the 378 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 2: House is they just have a very small majority, and 379 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 2: so it's hard, you know, if you if you want 380 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: to put some teeth into what you're doing, ultimately you 381 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 2: need to have a block that the majority can vote 382 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 2: to do things, whether that's to impeach, whether that's old 383 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: people in contempt. When you have a three vote advantage, 384 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: it's just very difficult to do that kind of business. 385 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: And so I think there, you know, James Comer, I 386 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 2: would point out as a as an example example of 387 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: where they've done some good things and turned over some 388 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 2: good evidence. I think, you know, Jim Jordan, it seems 389 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: to me to be working hard, but he has not 390 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: turned up as much maybe his investigations as people were hoping. 391 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 2: But you know, that being said is I think they're 392 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: doing an effective job. Obviously all of this is done 393 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: through the lens of politics, and it just you know, 394 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: then it then it ends up being you know, kind 395 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 2: of what color jersey you're wearing and what you believe 396 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: the evidence shows. But there's no doubt that you know 397 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden knew what Powter was doing, that he 398 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: anticipated in what hud was doing, either knowingly or as 399 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 2: you know, as as a father who wanted to help 400 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 2: his son be successful, and that Hudder Biden was selling influence, 401 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: and especially when his father was the vice president the 402 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: United States, there's no doubt about that. 403 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: Quick break more with Matt. 404 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: Do you think voters care or do you think it's 405 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: just already kind of baked in the cake that politicians 406 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: leverage power to enrich themselves and their families. 407 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope we're not to that point yet, Lisa, 408 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: But I think that there is a lot of cynicism 409 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 2: among the electric. They understand that, you know that none 410 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: of these people are perfect, and none of these people 411 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: are able to resist power and money. But at the 412 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 2: same time, we need to hold everyone to a higher 413 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: standard and have everyone, you know, do the right thing 414 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: for the right reason. And unfortunately we're just not there. 415 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 2: And obviously the Biden's have somehow become very wealthy after 416 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: Joe Biden being in public service for forty years and 417 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: only having four years outside since the government in the 418 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: last since the nineteen seventies. 419 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how else does a you know, crackhead 420 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: and a play dress become so rich? 421 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: So only in America? 422 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah? 423 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, special place. What do you think the big issues 424 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: should be for Republicans heading into the selection? 425 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: Well, as I mean, I get around the state of 426 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 2: Iowa right now a lot and taught me to a 427 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 2: lot of folks. Obviously, the border is top of mind 428 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 2: that every community is being affected by the border right 429 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 2: now and what's happening, and it's an insecure border, in 430 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: the in the system of asylum and all those things. 431 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: And then you know, obviously the economy. I think a 432 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: lot of people are not stealing the strength of the 433 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: American economy. And I think mortgage rates are part of that. 434 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's becoming very hard for anyone to buy 435 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 2: a house. You know, the interest rate spike has caused 436 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: mortgage payments to almost double if you have to buy 437 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: a house now from what you would have had. And 438 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: so I think those are what people are feeling. You know, 439 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 2: in my home state of Iowa, agriculture issues are very important, 440 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 2: as you can imagine, you know, big act state and so, 441 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: but you know, it's the national issues are are the 442 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: issues that I think a lot of people are thinking 443 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: and chealing. I think there's also just sort of what 444 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: I would describe as a as a as a as 445 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: a cultural issues. You know, whether it's the drag queen brunches, 446 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: you know, whether it's you know, sort of the whole transgender, 447 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: the men and women's sports, all those issues are are 448 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: certainly people are are are thinking about it about as well. 449 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: I hope that we, you know, effectively prosecute the case 450 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: on all of those fronts. Matt, I know you're busy guy. 451 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time to join the show. 452 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: Always enjoy talking with you, Lisa. 453 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 2: I am a big fan of yours and I think 454 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 2: you know I'm always looking forward to when I can 455 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: catch you on television.
