1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: All right, let me start the list of Republicans that

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: are dead to me. At the top of the list,

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: there's a guy by the name of Mike Pence. Mike

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: Pence is what I've always thought about him. He is

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: not a true conservative. He's a rhino. He's a mod

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: known as a moderate, a rhino if you don't know

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: what that means as a Republican in name only. I

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: said right after the indictment, I'm gonna stay it again.

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Pay attention to which conservatives come out and vigorously defend

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And I'm talking about defending him from this,

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: this absurd indictment, which you would find in third world countries.

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: This is what the again the Gestapo used to do.

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: This is literally what Hitler did was in his playbook,

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: take out your political enemies. Same thing that they did

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: in the USSR. Same thing that Ladder Raputin does, same

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: thing that g does in China, same thing they do

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: in Cuba with Castro. You take your political and it

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: means you put them in jail. Now some Bendela is

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: even a better example of this. If you don't know

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: that story, you need to learn that story. You need

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: to go back and read that part of history. I'm

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: sure if you don't want to read it, there's a

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: YouTube video that will tell you all about it. And

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: if that's not out, there's a movie about it. My

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: point is this is not what America is supposed to be.

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: And it's not hard to defend Donald Trump right now.

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: It should be the easiest thing even some of these

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: mods and some of these rhinos have ever done. It

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: should be easy to come out and say this is

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: crossing a line that we may never come back from.

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: This is crossing a line that we should all say

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: is wrong, that we should all say is evil, that

33
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: we should all say is something that should never happen.

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: So what is Mike Pennce saying about this? He's taken

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: shots on Neil Cavudo's show at Fox News Channel this afternoon.

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: He decided the best use of his time going into

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: the weekend after this indictment is to attack his former

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: running mate Donald J. Trump. Take a listen you that said,

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: I believe, sir, that you planned to support. However, that

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: the ultimate Republican nominee is for President Donald Trump has

41
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: not indicated, but there are a couple of others who

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: are also open on that subject. Do you still stand

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: by that. And if you do, and assuming that Donald

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: Trump could be your nominee and you do support him,

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the possibility that he wouldn't

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: return the favor. Let's say if it were you. Well, Neil,

47
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: I will tell you my wife and I are sorting

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: through our sense of calling about whether or not we'll

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: enter the national race, and I'll express myself about other

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: candidates in the future, But I gotta tell you, when

51
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: it comes down to my former running mate, I honestly

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: believe that we'll have better choices by the fall of

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Look, I don't think anybody could have

54
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: defeated Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen other than Donald Trump.

55
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: But I think different times call for different leadership. As

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: I travel around the country, I hear people telling me

57
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: two things. Number one is, we've got to get back

58
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: to the policies of the Trump Pence administration. But until

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: that pandemic left America stronger, more prosperous than any time

60
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. But in the same breath, Neil, people

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: tell me that they want to get back to a

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: level of civility and respect in our public debate that

63
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: used to that used to be the norm, just not

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: too long ago. I mean, you look at the major

65
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: challenges that we're facing after the failed policies of the

66
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Biden administration, the advances of the radical left. We got

67
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: to find a way to talk to one another in

68
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: politics the way the American people deal with each other

69
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: every single day. And so from my standpoint, I think

70
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: there's a desire for new leadership, a new direction and

71
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: uh and that also means a new Tolen in politics.

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: And if we can contribute to that, I promise you,

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: as I said, I'll keep you posted. All right, this

74
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: is the moment the Mint Romney has officially become dead.

75
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: To me. He's a moderate, He's a rhino. He is

76
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: a part of the swamp. He is no different than

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan. He's no different than John Banner. He's no

78
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: different than Mint Romney at this point to think that

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: this is the right time to say this. And it's

80
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: obvious he's running for president, right he believes he can

81
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: somehow beat Donald Trump, which is total lunacy. It's it's hysterical.

82
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: It tells you just how ridiculous he is. And I'm

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: sure there's a bunch of mods around him. The Adam

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: kinsing or of the world. They're like, oh no, no no,

85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: you're should do it, but we believe in you. Right

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: The Liz Chenness of the world are like, oh we should,

87
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: we believe in you, you should do that. Oh yes,

88
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: It's amazing. But the fact that this is what he

89
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: believes right now, this is what he is saying right now,

90
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: is one of the most shocking moments of betrayal, as

91
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: I would describe it from Mike Pence. And I'm glad

92
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: because this is gonna this is gonna weed out who

93
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: the good guys are and who the bad guys are

94
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: in the conservative movement and the Republican Party. Mike Pence,

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I will never forget this moment and I will never

96
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: trust him ever again as what he wants you to

97
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: believe that he's some sort of maga Republican. He is not.

98
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: If he was a magga Republican, he could have answered

99
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: that question a lot differently. And let me tell you

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: how he would have answered that question. He would have said,

101
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: Today is not to day for me to talk about this.

102
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: What I know right now is there's an unjust indictment

103
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: of a former president United States of America, and this

104
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: is one of the saddest days in America. So one

105
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: of the worst days I've ever seen, and I've worked

106
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: in politics for a long time. He could have said that, Okay,

107
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: he could. He could have said that to Neil Cavuto,

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: and Neil could have even pressed him, because said, Neil,

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: you have to understand what just happened here. If there's

110
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: any day that I'm standing behind the President Knight States

111
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: of America, my former running mate, it's today. I'm not

112
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: worried about you know, twenty twenty four is a little

113
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: ways away. We can deal with that another day. But

114
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: today I stand with my former running mate because this

115
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: is just wrong. Mitt Romney, by the way, or I said,

116
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: Mike Pence, by the way, was around. Let's never forget this.

117
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: For the impeachments. He was there when the impeachments were happening.

118
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: He was on Capitol Hill. He understands what they did

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: to General Flynn, he understands what they did to the

120
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: Trump family. And for him to think that today's the

121
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: day be like, well, I think we're gonna have better

122
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: choices in twenty twenty four. I think we'll have better

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: choices than Trump in twenty twenty four different times, call

124
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: for different leaderships. That it is completely out of touch

125
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: with number one reality. But it shows that he has

126
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: no loyalty to the base. I'm not talking about Donald

127
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: Trump anymore. I'm talking about to the base. He was

128
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: happy to take that bait. He was happy to sell out,

129
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: he's happy to do the interviews. Now he's getting suppress.

130
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: And this is that moment when you say never again.

131
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of other ones by the way,

132
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: just like Mike Pence, but you need to be writing

133
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: now the names and you need to realize this is

134
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: when you check in with your elected officials and see

135
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: what they are saying. Because if they're not standing bold

136
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: and standing strong and saying that this is horrific what

137
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: has happened to our country? Okay, if they're not saying that,

138
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: then you need to realize they are part of the problem. Now,

139
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want

140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good

141
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: friends at the Gusts of Precious Medals. They are different

142
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: because they will even tell you if a gold ira

143
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: isn't your answer, they give you just the facts. Now,

144
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: Gusts of Precious Medal is all about protecting your IRA

147
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: with our economy and it's extremely important, especially if you're

148
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: close to retirement, to protect your assets because there's no

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: time to make up losses. So if you've saved one

150
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars or more, then you should take a

151
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: look at their free guide and you should really sign

152
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: up for something that I've done. It's a web conference

153
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: where you talk to a top individual about gold iras

154
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: and you're four oh one k. Check them out and

155
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,520

162
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: Gold Ira is falling all over themselves defending the Democrats,

163
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: defending this da Alan Bragg saying it's gonna be a

164
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: long bumpy road for Donald Trump. You better buckle up.

165
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play some of that for you in a moment,

166
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: just so you know how scumbaggy these people are. And

167
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I want to also say, over and over again, because

168
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: I have to keep reminding myself, the Democratic Party died

169
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: when this indictment came down. The Democratic Party is no

170
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: longer the Democratic Party. This is the this is the

171
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: Socialist is the Communist Party. Communists do what the Democrats

172
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: are doing right now, So let's call them communists. This

173
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: is the Communist Party. They're not Democrats, they're communists. Bill Barr,

174
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: former Attorney General of the United States America, who hasn't

175
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: always agreed with Donald Trump on everything, was asked at

176
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: a conference earlier today, what does he think about this

177
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: Trump indictment? Listen carefully to his words, impression. Given what

178
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: you've heard so far, well, I wish I had something

179
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: original to say about this. Almost all the adjectives have

180
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: been used. I mean, obviously, we have to caveat it.

181
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: We haven't seen it. We don't know exactly what's there,

182
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: but judging from the news reports, it's a it's you know,

183
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: it's the archetypal abuse of the prosecutorial function to engage

184
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: in a political hit job. And it's a disgrace if

185
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: if it turns out to be what we think it is. Politically,

186
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's going to be damaging, I

187
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: think to the Republican Party, simply because I think it's

188
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: it's a no lose situation. For the Democrats, I think

189
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: they're actually I think the the impetus is really to

190
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: help Trump get the nomination, focus the attention on him

191
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: for two years, have this thing swirling around, plus whatever

192
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: else comes, which I think will be damaging to whoever

193
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: gets the nomination. And legally I think it's it's uh,

194
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: from what I understand, it's it's a pathetically weak. Yeah,

195
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: it seems to be that there's two aspects of this

196
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: that are offensive, at least it seems this way to me.

197
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: One is the business record part, and they've made a

198
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: very strong push that they intend to litigate that to

199
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: the hilt and that he did not commit even the misdemeanor.

200
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: But it seems to me that whether he did or

201
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: whether he didn't, the first obligation of the prosecutor is

202
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: to apply the law equally across the board to everyone.

203
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: And we're dealing with a progressive prosecutor who's made his name,

204
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: not prosecuting. So at the very time that he's taking

205
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: real felonies that are preying on New Yorkers and knocking

206
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: them down to misdemeanors if he prosecutes them at all,

207
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: he's taking this case that they would never in a

208
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: million years prosecute, and he's making it into a misdemeanor prosecution.

209
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: And then there's the second question about whether, especially with

210
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the ural authorities who have jurisdiction of a campaign finance violations,

211
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: having looked at this and decided not to prosecute, he's

212
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: now not only going to add this to his case,

213
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: but use it to inflate the misdemeanor not into a felony.

214
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it doesn't justice to say inflated into

215
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: a felony according to Trump's counsel. And again, as you say,

216
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: until we see the indictment, we don't know it's going

217
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: to be thirty four felonies four year counts each. Well,

218
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: that's right. Taking the federal issue first, which is the

219
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: way he appears to defeat the statute of limitations on

220
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: a misdemeanor and juices up a technical misdemeanor into a felony.

221
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: As you say, the federal government. The Southern District of

222
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: New York did not charge this as a campaign violation.

223
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: And I saw some editorial said something like, well, that's

224
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: because Bill Barr was there. Actually the Southern District could

225
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: have done whatever they wanted. Well, I mean they would have.

226
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: I always heard that about the Well, but I want

227
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: to point out that the administration ended two years ago,

228
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: so Bill Barr wasn't there two years ago, and if

229
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: the statue of limitations had not run federally, they could

230
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: have done whatever they wanted to do after I left.

231
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: So no one's done anything. And so for the State

232
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: DA to try to use this as a way of

233
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: bootstrapping himself into a felony is sort of outrageous. But

234
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: as the other thing is, the statute itself isn't as

235
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: technical as it sounds. That is, it's not just falsification

236
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: of a record, but the statute says with the intent

237
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: to defraud. So the falsification of the record has to

238
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: have the intent to defraud. It's not enough to say, well,

239
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: the falsification is the fraud. There still has to be

240
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: some them of fraud. Someone who is uh some value

241
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: is somehow taken away from and benefited, uh, you know,

242
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: the perpetrator, and I don't see an explanation for that anywhere.

243
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: So I think it's it's it's a it's a very

244
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: weak case just on the misdemeanor, Bill Barr. It's a

245
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: very weak case, especially just on a misdemeanor and one

246
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: that has run out the statute of limitations. So therefore

247
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: you're trying to turn into a felony. Now, I wanted

248
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: you to hear that because I think he's a brilliant

249
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: legal mind and I think that he understands this. Stormy Daniels,

250
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: by the way, has come out and said that this

251
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Trump indictment is a vindication, but then the same sentence says,

252
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: but I fear for my safety. I think story mean

253
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: Daniels is exactly what she says she is, and I'm

254
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: going to leave it at that with her. Now, what

255
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I do know is Republican lawmakers reacting to this. A

256
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of them have gotten it right, some have gotten

257
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: it wrong. Some have been way too quiet. Senator corn

258
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: remember the Senate GOP leadership said that the to CNN,

259
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: the Trump indictment looks to me to be like this

260
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: as an opportunity for this distric attorney to try to

261
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: make headlines and game publicity. Representative James Comers, to the

262
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: House Oversight Chairman, attacked the political witch hunt of former

263
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump the day after he was indicted by

264
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: the Manhattan DA. One thing that we're concerned about in Washington,

265
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Congressmen Jordan and myself is if there is coordination, Comber

266
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: says being conducted here between Merrick Garland, the DOJ and

267
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: all these different entities that are going after Donald Trump.

268
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: This the political witch hunt. They are doing everything in

269
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: their ability to create a narrative that would hurt Trump.

270
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Comber said to CNN that bragg investigation is nothing but

271
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: a political stunt. You need to look at these Republicans.

272
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: You need to look at your congressmen, you need to

273
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: look at these leaders, and you need to see what

274
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: they're saying, because if they're not standing up to this,

275
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: if they're not fighting against this, then you know which

276
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: team they are on. There's also going to be some

277
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: major security measures the Secret Service will implement, we're being

278
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: told for Tuesday's Trump Court hearing. The US Secret Service

279
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: has played a major role in the negotiations we're being

280
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: told between Trump lawyers and the Manhattan Disturt Attorney over

281
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's Tuesday court appearance. Secret Service has limited

282
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: its involvement to courting security arrangements which have been in

283
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: the works for weeks. The agency is using its standard protocols,

284
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: which means Service employees will test the magnameters at the

285
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: courthouse to ensure they are up to Secret Service standards.

286
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: The plans which have already been worked out, including Secret

287
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Service employees at those melotech before Trump arrives. They won

288
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: forced distance requirements to make sure no one comes close

289
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: to former president. His detail will be with him as

290
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: he has processed, fingerprinted, and photographed for his protection. We're

291
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: also being told that he's expected to be arraigned in

292
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Manhattan Criminal Court around two fifteen Eastern one fifteenth Central

293
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Officials involved in the planning of Trump's appearance

294
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: are considering pausing all other case activity at the court

295
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: during the time that the former president is expected to appear.

296
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: According to sources with knowledge of the plans, an adjournment

297
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: of all other matters at the courthouse Tuesday afternoon would

298
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: reduce the amount of foot traffic in the building for

299
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: security reasons. The source went on to say the political

300
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: wet dream for the Democrats is one that's playing out

301
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: in real time on TV. Charlie Sykes on trump indictment,

302
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: had this to say moments ago on him. It's to

303
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: telling you and how long have they been saying the

304
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: psychotic stuff there? Right? He says, just the beginning. And

305
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Charlie again, because as Trump, there are so many patterns

306
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: that we can reflect back on. I mean, judges have

307
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: not been as daunted by Trump's political superpowers as Republican

308
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: senators and members of Congress have been by him, and

309
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: even some members of his own cabinet. I mean, I

310
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: think you had a federal judge the first to say

311
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump and Johnny has been likely committed balonies.

312
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: Many of the judges looking at the one six cases

313
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: have said out loud in courtrooms and in filings that

314
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump continues to create a climate where the recidivism

315
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: is a high risk for the insurrectionist because he keeps

316
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: telling the lies that inside of them in the first place.

317
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's also a place that hasn't been as

318
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: cowed by Trump and Trumpism as the other branches of government. No,

319
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of his legal strategy seems to

320
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: have been aimed at deterrence, at intimidating the prosecutors and

321
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: the juries from from taking any action. And now he's

322
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: going to be waging this two front war, and they're

323
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: going to be intentioned with one another. You know, his

324
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: his his political his political appeal, which will be to

325
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: keep throwing red meat to gin up the base. It will,

326
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, is in conflict with the much more sober

327
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: and restricted message that he's going to have to have

328
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: and trow. It's going to be interesting to see how

329
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: he how he finesses that, particularly going forward. But I

330
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 1: will also say, you know, you made a point at

331
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of the program, this is just the beginning,

332
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: and it is just the beginning, and it's going to

333
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: be a long spring and a long summer with you know,

334
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: perhaps more indictments dropping. But I think that in terms

335
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: of politics, the die is cast, and that you've seen

336
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: that Republicans have decided that they are going to go

337
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: all in on Trump. And if they're all in on

338
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: this indictment, well they bought the ticket for the next

339
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: two as well. If there's an indictment out of Georgia,

340
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: they're going to have to say the same thing. Because

341
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: they've already bought in if there are indictments involving January first.

342
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: So this is what you know. There are things that

343
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't know what's in the seal

344
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: of indictment, but what we we do know is that the

345
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: Republican Party has decided that it is not going to

346
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: take an off ramp once again, that it is not

347
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: going to distance themselves, and that they are going to

348
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: now spend the next year and a half answering questions

349
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: about this man and about his conduct. And there's no

350
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: way now for them to step back and say, Okay,

351
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: this was terrible what happened in New York, but boy,

352
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: we need to keep our powder dry when it comes

353
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: to Jack Smith or when it comes to his attempt

354
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: to overturn the election in Georgia. They'rein and we know that,

355
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's been determined over the last thirty

356
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: six hours. So here's what they're saying. There's more coming

357
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: because the first indictment was going to be the hardest,

358
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: and now that we have the indictment, oh, it's game on, right,

359
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: it is game on. We're going to diet him everywhere

360
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: we can. The indicting of Trump, by the way, has

361
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: been a psychotic obsession of the left all the way

362
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen and eighteen and nineteen and twenty.

363
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: Democrats have been predicting this and they were going to

364
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: make it happen. They just need to find an activist

365
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: da to do it. Since two thousand and seventeen, when

366
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was sworn as president on January the twentieth.

367
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: You don't believe me, We have a montage to remind

368
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: you of how much they've been willing to get this guy.

369
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: And this starts back in January of twenty seventeen. The

370
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: eight House Democrats have recently voted to advanced articles of

371
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: impeachment impeach him first and end indict him. Yes, the president,

372
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: a sitting president can be indicted. Even if the president

373
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: were to somehow find some way to terminate Mueller, the

374
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: indictments would continue to grind. You could impeach anybody on anything,

375
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: you can try and indict. He is not functioning as

376
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the president of the United States. Frankly, if he ever

377
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: gets indicted. Hell, have insanity is a defense I suppose

378
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: from a criminal of charge, but it's hardly You know,

379
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: this is a serious matter. You're starting to hear people

380
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: talk about the possibility that Donald Trump leaves office in

381
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: two years and then finds himself in the crosshairs of

382
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: these New York prosecutors. This sitting president can and should

383
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: be indicted. President there for sure is more than likely

384
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: going to serve some jail time. It's clear that Trump

385
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: is the target and he'll be indicted eventually. On the

386
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him.

387
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: Now there is talk of jail time for the president,

388
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: but Mueller could indict the president for obstruction of justice.

389
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump should be indicted for calling a cooperating witness

390
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: a rat. He should have been indicted. If a sitting

391
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: president can be indicted by the Justice Department, why aren't

392
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: we at the target? Trump having committed crimes to get

393
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: the presidency, So why aren't we at an indictment yet?

394
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: I think there's generally consensus the president has probably committed

395
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: indictable crimes. It's very strongly in favor of indicting the

396
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: president when he is out of office that there may

397
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: be enough evidence to indict Trump. Is Donald Trump going

398
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: to be indicted? Maybe it'll happen, Maybe he'll go to prison.

399
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: You know, would you ever see the inside of a

400
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: prison Celle could get a ham sandwich indicted. Hey, listen,

401
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: Trump's the big Macan. If Donald Trump himself is not

402
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: ever indicted, there is another way that prosecutors can actually

403
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: indict the entire Trump Org. We hope that Lieutenant General

404
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: seizes the importance of moving ahead with this indictment, moving

405
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: ahead with Locke and Steve Bannon, the whole inchilaud of

406
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: the whole company indicted by next week. Why not pursue

407
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: it and see what happens. Marick Garland, if you indict Trump,

408
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: you'll be my Person of the Year of the decade.

409
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: The only thing worse than indicting him would be not

410
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: indicting him, would be fail not to indict them. Donald

411
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Trump is an ordinary citizen and is committing crimes right now.

412
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: I like the idea of Martin Meadow's going to jail

413
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life. But I still think

414
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: that the committee has laid out that the person on

415
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: top of all of this, in charge of all of this,

416
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: doing all of this, was Donald Trump. Now for him

417
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: not to frankly, would cause this country more harm than

418
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: even if he indicts and there's a hum jury or

419
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: not a successful conviction. I think there should be no

420
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: case in which they wouldn't indict. I don't think we

421
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 1: should be treating him the way other ex presidents were treated.

422
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: I think the extent of what Donald Trump's done is

423
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: so egregious that no attorney general, no fair minded attorney general,

424
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: would have any choice. According to The Atlantic, Garland is

425
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: preparing to indite Trump despite moving at the cautious pace

426
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: of an institutionalist. The only reasons Trump hasn't been indicted

427
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: by now is because he's a former president and because

428
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: he has handpicked judges on his side. They were obsessed

429
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: with this since twenty seventeen. They were never going to stop.

430
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: Never forget that. Please share this podcast with your family
