1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is a verdict with Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: with you, and this is a bonus episode a verdict, Senator.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time you just landed, and

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: this obviously is news that is rocking the country. The

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Attorney General Merrick Garland, someone that you've called for there,

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: should be investigated and should be impeached for the job

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: that he has done in your new book, he has

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: now come out made an announcement making it clear that

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: he is going to war with Donald Trump and trying

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: to make it where he wouldn't even be able to

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: be the president ever again. He said this earlier based

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: on recent developments, including the former president's announcement that he

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: is a candidate for president in the next election and

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: the sitting president stated intention to be a candidate as well.

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: I have concluded that it is in the public interest

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: to appoint a Special Council. Such an appointment underscores the

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Apartment's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters.

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: It also allows prosecutors and agents to continue their work

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: expeditiously and to make decisions indisputably guided only by the

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: facts and the law. The Special Council will conduct parts

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: of the first investigation. I just mentioned the investigation into

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: whether any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: of power following the twenty twenty presidential election or with

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: the certification of the Electoral College vote held honor about

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: January sixth, Senator, you tweeted about this earlier, and it's

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: just two days after the President announced that he's going

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: to run for a third time, and this is how

28
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: they respond to that decision. Your thoughts, Well, we've predicted

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: on Verdict weeks ago that the Department of Justice was

30
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: going to indicte Donald Trump. Joe Biden wants them to

31
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: indict Donald Trump, that Merrick Garland wants to indict Donald Trump.

32
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: This is part and parcel with the whole scale politicization

33
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice and the FBI and law

34
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: enforcement under first Barack Obama and now even more blatantly

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: under Joe Biden. And appointing a special counsel is window dressing.

36
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: It is designed for Merrick Garland to say, oh, who me, gosh, No,

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: I have nothing to say about it. It's it's the

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: special counsel that's doing the indictment. Remember when we said

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: this was when DJ leaked the news that they intended

40
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: to indict Hunter Biden. That was and we've talked at

41
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: some length about it. I believe they're deliberately focusing on

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: the personal aspects of Hunter Biden, his substance abuse, and

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: tax issues, rather than the official corruption that directly implicates

44
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. But the other reason they leaked their intentions

45
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden was to set the stage for this

46
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: for them going after Donald J. Trump directly and to say, gosh,

47
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: look how we even handed we are. We're inditing a Biden,

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: We're inditing a Trump. We're just right in the middle

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: of the row. This is politics. It is an abusive power,

50
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: and it is wrong center. This is and I think

51
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: one of the points here that should be brought up

52
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: is this is exactly what you talked about and went

53
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: into such great detail in your book. And this is

54
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: the reason why I would tell you, if you haven't

55
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: bought your book yet, do it. I've read the book

56
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh wow, this is how row this

57
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: administration has gone. Not only have they tried to overthrow

58
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: the will of the people in the twenty and sixteen elections,

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: they tried to undermine the present. The entire time is here.

60
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: They knew that they were hiding information that would vindicate

61
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump from any connection to Russia. They knew that

62
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: the dossier was paid for by the Democratic National Committee,

63
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: and they knew that it was paid for by Hillary

64
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Clinton's campaign. And they knew that that information, which they

65
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: had categorized as clearly being as they described it, user created,

66
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: meaning the people that brought it to them created out

67
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: of thin air. They waited and set and watched as

68
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: the President of the United States America was in an

69
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: impeachment trial over information. They could have walked out and said,

70
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: none of this is real. And now they're saying, basically,

71
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: we didn't get your last time. It's almost like double

72
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: jeopardy from the DOJ. Well, look, that's exactly right. This

73
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: is precisely what my brand new book talks about. The

74
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: book is Justice Corrupted, how the Left has weaponized the

75
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: legal system, and it walks the reader through how Barack

76
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: Obama turned the Department of Justice, that the IRS, and

77
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: the FBI into his political enforcement squad. It then walks

78
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the reader through how those hard partisans burrowed into senior

79
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: career positions and waged war on the press of the

80
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: United States Donald Trump in a way that has never

81
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: happened in our nation's history. And then it walks the

82
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: reader through how under Joe Biden it is fully metastasized,

83
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: where Merrick Garland is the most political Attorney general our

84
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: country has ever seen. Whether it is the FBI and

85
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: raiding Marlago, the home of a former president, never happened

86
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: before in our nation's history. Whether it is the FBI

87
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: targeting parents who speak up at school boards and treating

88
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: them as domestic terrorists, whether it is the FBI raiding

89
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: the homes of pro life activists with machine guns drawn.

90
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: All of this is an extension of the view that

91
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: the FBI and the Department of Justice are now partisan

92
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: weapons to be deployed by the Democrats, and their intention

93
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: is to indict Donald Trump because they hate him. This

94
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: is Trump derangement syndrome, but this time with a gun

95
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: and a badge. Let me ask this, what is the

96
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: definition of success look like for Democrats and the DJ

97
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure it's get anything where he's guilty.

98
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: Is it just getting an indictment of Donald Trump? Explain

99
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: the politics of this. We have two years until the

100
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: presidential elections. What do they need to do and accomplish

101
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: at the minimum to basically derail a candidate's ability to

102
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: run a successful campaign for the presidency. And you notice

103
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: I asked you that question without Donald Trump's name involved,

104
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: because if they can do it to Donald Trump, they

105
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: could do it to basically anybody that's on the Republican

106
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: side that decides to run. If this is a game

107
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: plan of how to make it where you're the candidate

108
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: we don't like and we're going to come after you

109
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: and then we'll make you basically ineligible. Well, and in

110
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: the book Justice Corrupted, I walk through how they did

111
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: this to Ted Stevens, who was then the longest serving

112
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: senator Republican senator from Alaska, and they indicted him right

113
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: before the election, and it ended up causing him to

114
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: be defeated. It cost him his seat. And afterwards I

115
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: walked through all of the prosecutorial misconduct is one of

116
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: the greatest abuses of power, and that was carried out

117
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: for political purposes. They want to do the same playbook here,

118
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: and to indict someone, what it means legally to indict

119
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: someone is to bring formal charges and so a grand

120
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: jury votes out an indictment. Now the grand jury doesn't

121
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: get to hear from the defendant. The grand jury doesn't

122
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: get to hear the other side of the argument. It's

123
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: the prosecutor bringing witnesses and putting evidence before the grand jury.

124
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: There's an old line that a prosecutor can indict a

125
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: hand sandwich, and there's a lot of truth to that.

126
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: There's enormous power that a prosecutor has. That It's why

127
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: it is so dangerous when it is weaponized like this,

128
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: when it is used as a tool of political retribution.

129
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: And I believe their intention is to get an indictment

130
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: I think likely in the district of Columbia, because they

131
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: know the jury pool is so skewed Democrats that they

132
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: don't believe Trump can get a fair shake there, which

133
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: is what they want. And then I think they want

134
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: to try to prosecute them. They want to try to

135
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: convict Trump. These guys are zealots and they have behaved

136
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: as zealots from the very first day they took the

137
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: oath of office. Do they fast track this then? I mean,

138
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: is that the goal here, that the holy grail for

139
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: them is you fast track and indictment, you then get

140
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: him where you can put this up basically on trial.

141
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: If you can find him guilty of any of these

142
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: charges in the District of Columbia, is he then ineligible

143
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: to be president of the United States of America at

144
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: that point, I don't think that's going to happen. They

145
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: may have dreams of legally barring him from running, but

146
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: that ain't going to happen. I think the chances of

147
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: that are minuscule. But what their plan is. Listen, we've

148
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: seen them run this playbook before. They did it when

149
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Trump was president with not one but two impeachment trials

150
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: that were designed just to drag Trump through the mud,

151
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: to beat up on him day after day after day.

152
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: And they did that in because they were waging a

153
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: political campaign. We've seen it the last two years with

154
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: the January sixth Kangaroo Committee in the House. That was

155
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: a partisan presentation. It's not a congressional committee. Congressional committee

156
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: has both sides represented. In this instance, Nancy Pelosi refused

157
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: to let the Republicans appoint their member. She wanted to

158
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: not have anyone who would be supportive of Trump on

159
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the committee, and so she put together what was essentially

160
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: a giant campaign commercial. Now the January sixth Committee is

161
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:13,119
Speaker 1: going away because Republicans have retaken the House. So apparently

162
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Merritt Garland a Department of Justice are stepping forward saying, Okay,

163
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: we got this, it's our turn now to after the indictment,

164
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: have a daily drift of leaks which DJ isn't supposed

165
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: to be leaking, and an effort you know, they the

166
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: White House, the Department of Justice, the partisans at the FBI,

167
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: they hate Donald Trump and they just they see red

168
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: when they see him, and the lengths they are willing

169
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: to go is wrong. And I gotta tell you then,

170
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: I hear from FBI agents all the time who are

171
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: horrified at what is happening to the FBI. I hear

172
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: from prosecutors at DOJ repeatedly who are horrified as what

173
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: is happening to DJ. This is not the line prosecutors,

174
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: this is not the line FBI agents. This is the

175
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,359
Speaker 1: political brass and the senior career officials where they allowed

176
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: partisans to burrow in and use it as a political weapon.

177
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: And mark my words, the reason a special prosecutor was

178
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: appointed was they intend to indict Donald Trump. That's the

179
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: takeaway from the news that came out yesterday to last

180
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: two questions for you left as we do this special

181
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: at Bonus Pod because of the news of today. Senator,

182
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Let's go back to two thousand and sixteen. Merritt Garland

183
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: was nominated to the Supreme Court by then President Barack

184
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: Obama in March of twenty sixteen. The Senate never voted

185
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: on his nomination. How much of this could be the

186
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: motivation of just pure revenge for Garland because he is

187
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: angry and upset that he's not on the Supreme Court

188
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Do you think that's

189
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: playing into some of this where it's just straight up

190
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: revenge for Donald Trump winning that election and Republicans this

191
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: is payback for not giving him a vote that he wanted. Yeah, look,

192
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine that that's not a significant factor.

193
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: Many of the Senate Democrats still seed at the fact

194
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: that the Senate Republican majority followed the voters wishes and

195
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: said we've been given a majority. And when there's a

196
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: vacancy that occurs in a presidential election year, a senator

197
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: of an opposing party doesn't fill that vacancy, and that

198
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: goes back many many decades. The voters gave Republicans a

199
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: majority in twenty fourteen in the Senate, and one of

200
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: the big things that we campaigned on was stopping radical

201
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: left wing judges. But Merrick Garlands Democrat senators the White House,

202
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: they all resent that furiously, and you know, look, it's

203
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: worth pointing out. So sometimes with a special counsel, you

204
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 1: see someone that they're trying to get some credibility for.

205
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: So you sometimes see a special counsel that is of

206
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: the opposing political party to say, well, gosh, you know,

207
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: this is a prominent Republican we're going to use. What

208
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: is interesting about this fellow. The fellow that Merritt Garland

209
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: named is a guy named Jack Smith. I don't know him.

210
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with him. So we just have the

211
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: news that is percolating out in the opening hours. But

212
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: he's someone who was a career prosecutor for a long time.

213
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: He was a prosecutor at the Hague prosecuting war crimes.

214
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, the folks at DOJ

215
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: they know as politics. One hundred percent they know is politics.

216
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: One of the things that I walked through in the

217
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: book Justice Corrupted is how with the lowest Learner scandal.

218
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: You remember, under Barack Obama, the IRS was targeting conservatives,

219
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: targeting Tea Party activist, targeting pro Israel activists, targeting pro

220
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: life activists, and when the news broke it was a

221
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: huge scandal, so much so that Barack Obama gave a

222
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: news conference from the White House where he said, I

223
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: am angry, and the American people have a right to

224
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: be angry. He understood just how bad it was to

225
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: politicize the IRS and law enforcement. And what ended up

226
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: happening is the prosecutor they put in charge of this

227
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: at DOJ was a major Democrat donor who given over

228
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars to Barack Obama and to the DNC,

229
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: And wonder of wonders, that major Democrat donor refused to

230
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: bring charges and DOJ then Stonewall Congress Blowis Lerner refused

231
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: to testify, she pleaded the fifth she was held in

232
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: contempt of Congress, and the Department of Justice refused to

233
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: prosecutor and it blockaded any effort to holds her accountable.

234
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland knows exactly what he is doing and in

235
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: appointing this prosecutor and the news media which sadly today

236
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: is thoroughly corrupt. We'll try to pitch him as a nonpartisan.

237
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Given every other behavior from this attorney general, I think

238
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: the chances that this prosecutor does not loathe Donald Trump

239
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: are essentially zero. Lastly, and we're going to be doing

240
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: a video podcast. We're going to break down this story

241
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot more. So get ready for that this coming

242
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: week on Monday. We'll have that for you, plus will

246
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: each and every day. But lastly, put this in perspective

247
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: in a historical contact center of just how radical what

248
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: we are witnessing now is comparing it to other countries.

249
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: This is, I truly believe, a sad day for this nation.

250
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: It was a sad day in a slippery slope when

251
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: the president's home was rated at Marlago. The fact that

252
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: a former president's home would be rated, it was a

253
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: day where I was worried that we would never come

254
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: back from it. Now watching what's happened, then moving forward,

255
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: trying to take out the president, put him in handcuffs,

256
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: convict him, put him in jail. How concerned are you

257
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: about just in this nation in general, because this is

258
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: something we've never seen in this country and now the

259
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Democrats are actively doing it in a revenge mode. Yeah. Look,

260
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. But we have had forty six presidents

261
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: in our nation's history. No president has ever tried to

262
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: do this. We've had president switched from one party to

263
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: the other. And listen, you see in Banana Republic. You

264
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: see in tinpot dictatorships, when one party takes control of

265
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: the government, they go after their predecessors. They probably secute them,

266
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: they lock them up and put them in jail. And

267
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: that's sadly in places where rule of not law is

268
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: not respected, that's fairly typical of abusive and tyrannical governments.

269
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: The United States has never ever, ever done that until now,

270
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: until Joe Biden and this politicized Department of Justice. They

271
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: hate Trump so much and they are so self righteous

272
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: and sure of their own own partisan position. They also know,

273
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: because the corporate media has been so corrupted that the

274
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: media will not hold into accounts, that they could abuse

275
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice of the FBI and not expect

276
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: any meaningful scrutiny. That is incredibly dangerous, but it is

277
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: where we are today. It's incredible. We're gonna have, like

278
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: I said, another pod and extended, you know, normal length

279
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: one on Monday for you. That will also be with

280
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: videos so you can watch it on YouTube Center. Thanks

281
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: for taking the time tonight. I know you've had a

282
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: busy schedule to day and I know you want to

283
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: talk to people, let them know exactly what you thought

284
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: about this, because this is going to be a very

285
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: big topic of conversation and a sad moment I think

286
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: in American history. And we will see all of you

287
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: guys back here on Monday. Don't forget share this podcast

288
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: wherever you're listening to it right now, Text it to

289
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: your family and friends. Write us a five star review

290
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: for the podcast so we reach more conservatives, and we'll

291
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: see it back here on Monday morning.
