WEBVTT - It's A Total Schiff Show 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:15.040 You are entering the freedom Hunt. It's the Shift Show 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:20.600 today on Capitol Hill. The open impeachment hearing is upon us. Also, 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.320 could there be a secret Senate trial ballot? What's going 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:28.080 on with Durham meeting with Downer? The cartels are making 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:33.240 opioid synthetics, webcams at the border statement from the Northwestern 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.760 Dean Warrens Well tax ten, oh so much more coming up. 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.080 This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.240 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.400 magnor mistake American, You're a great American Again the Buck 0:00:51.479 --> 0:01:00.600 Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, welcome to 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.600 the Buck Sex and shure everybody, thank you so much 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.399 for being here. Man. We have a lot to get 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:09.119 to today, because it is the Shift Show, as people 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.679 are calling it, aptly named aptly titled Adam Schiff running 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.120 the Circus as the New York Post depicted it on 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.640 their cover this morning, The circus up on Capitol Hill. 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.600 The whole thing is really quite absurd, quite obvious, quite transparent, 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:30.319 and yet here we are supposed to be transfixed by 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:36.000 what is the most clear and in my opinion, the 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.720 irrefutable partisan employ the Democrats have launched since the Russia 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.840 collusion nonsense of a few years ago. And yet here 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.160 we are being told that this is our democracy at stake, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:53.920 the republic itself is at risk. You have a very 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.480 basic argument that the Republicans have, which is that this 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.360 is all just garbage. And then you have these ornate 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.800 theories that keep shifting and changing, shifty shift. The language 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:15.960 is always being addressed, adopted, changed, altered, replaced. I tell you, 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.800 my friends, if you were to steal a car, somebody 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.079 would say, if they were going to bring charges against you, 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.840 that this person is guilty of auto theft. It wouldn't 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.919 be this person is guilty of auto theft. No, actually, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:33.720 this person's guilty of interfering in interstate automotive commerce. No, actually, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:38.520 this person created a danger to passers by with the 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.239 illegal transport of a vehicle not owned by him. No, 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.840 it's pretty straightforward. When someone commits a crime. What the 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.919 crime is? Right? You say it, this person did this thing. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.160 If Trump had really broken the law, isn't it obvious 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.920 that they wouldn't have to concoct a new legal theory 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:04.760 just defying his impeachment every week? What is it? This week, 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.320 What was it last week, what was it the week before? 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.760 Just go through a timeline of this, and what you 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.359 see is that they keep changing the rules, changing the game, 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.280 and also changing the very allegations that they are making. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.080 Initially we heard, and don't let this to slip slip 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.480 down the memory hole. Initially we heard that this was 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:32.440 an election interference issue, and they even went as far 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.680 as to say that this was a campaign finance issue, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.920 essentially trying to tie what happened here, they say with 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.640 Trump and Ukraine and Zelenski and the phone call back 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.320 to the earlier charges that they had already made about 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.120 a thing of value at Trump Tower. Oh, that was 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:59.640 election campaign violation. Oh, and then there was also the 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.760 effort to use this Stormy Daniel situation. That was election 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.360 campaign violation. They've tried this before, and they're going back 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:13.400 to these areas on purpose. The problem with the initial 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:19.039 allegation was that any normal rational person would say, hold 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.720 on a second. If a president doing a thing, asking 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.120 a foreign leader to do a thing that would benefit 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.599 him politically, is a thing of value from a foreign actor, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:37.280 then isn't every intelligent presidential act of foreign policy involving 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.240 an interlocutor, wouldn't wouldn't at all be a campaign finance 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.919 violation benefits the campaign makes him look good doing this 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:51.000 for his own purposes. They couldn't stay with that, But 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.800 that was initially what they were going with with this 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.080 whistle blower. They were trying to create the basis of 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:01.200 a criminal complaint. And then they started to use this 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:06.039 language of the quid pro quo, which is in this 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.800 case Latin for Democrats want you to be really scared. Oh, 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.760 quid pro quo. It is true. Unfortunately, the way Mulvaney 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.040 set it up when he had that somewhat disastrous interview 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.039 a few weeks ago, I think what he said was accurate. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.200 He just didn't understand the politics around it, that foreign 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.160 policy is built on quid pro quos. Do this thing, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:30.880 or we won't give you aid. In fact, I believe 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:36.599 earlier this week the Trump administration began to investigate or 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.320 began to put forward a policy of cutting off foreign 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.680 aid to countries that don't have religious freedom. Great, give 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.560 religious freedom to your people that were not giving you 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.880 foreign aid. That's you know what that is. That's a 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.080 quid pro quote. Well, he heard this all the time 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.880 from people and that was then the talking point, because 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.760 once they had established that there was some kind of 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:02.520 a quid pro quo, then it was very likely thereafter 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.960 that they would try to also change the legal language, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:12.120 also change whatever the charge may be on the basis 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.520 of what we've established the quid pro quote, which goes 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:20.120 into discussions of fraud, extortion, bribery, you know that on 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.359 That's where we are now. Now we're hearing about this 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.960 as a bribe or extorting a foreign ally, this is 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:31.320 very important most Americans, and just go around and ask 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.520 any of them. Don't really get all that excited or 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.600 care that much about whether you know, this Ukrainian guy 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.040 talking to that Ukrainian guy talking to this administration official 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.799 who talked to that administration official thought that there should 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.440 be an investigation. There wasn't an investigation. The javelins where 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.120 I mean it all starts to get okay, I mean, 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.600 this is just foreign part, Like what do we why 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.760 are we really supposed to care that much? I mean, 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.120 just from the perspective of a casual observer. And what 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.880 ends up happening is that people have to latch on. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.280 The Democrats have to put forward certain things that sound 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.960 ominous and this is not new, This is not a 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:14.520 new tactic. That's why bribery, extortion, crimes against the Constitution. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.560 They're saying these things, but then they're not actually able 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.280 to prove any of them. But they're just hoping that 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.840 the repetition of the words in the context of an impeachment, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.400 an impeachment proceeding will be enough that there'll be some 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.640 support from their side, for some support from people outside 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.520 of their base for this, which I don't really think 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.200 is going to happen. But they're just justifying this along 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.600 the way with the choice of scary sounding words that 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.880 they use. And this should be a reminder also of 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.120 what they did during Russia collusion. Why didn't they initially 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.720 say it was conspiracy, which is a federal criminal charge. Well, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.800 because conspiracy, as it is written in the statutes, there 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.440 are certain elements that you have to be able to 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.280 prove to it. They didn't want it to be about 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.320 having to prove the elements of an actual crime with 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.400 Russia collusion. They wanted it to be it looks bad, 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.680 it's a maybe it's a crime, or maybe it's a 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.160 political transgression. So that was why collusion gave them more 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.800 room more leeway. Okay, you didn't actually take an affirmative 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.920 step in a conspiracy, so we can't actually say it's 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.160 a conspiracy. You didn't actually do the thing that we 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.120 are saying you did, but you kind of wanted to 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.239 and you benefited from it even though you didn't do anything. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.800 So that seems a collusion. We'll call it collusion, even 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.640 though there is a real crime of collusion, usually has 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.960 to do with companies that are price fixing. But then 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.800 that wasn't enough, and then they moved to treason. They 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.280 started saying, well, the president, oh, and we're hearing that again, 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:46.520 betraying the constitutions. What they're saying betraying the constitution is 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.559 the verbiage of today. But back during the Russia collusion, 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.880 this is now just Ukraine collusion. This is two point zero. 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.480 Back during Russia collusion, we would hear about treason that 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.920 the president committed. And then some people said, well, hold 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.800 on a second, there's actually a deaf NISI to treason. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.760 I know that that gets a lot of attention. That's 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.920 a buzzword, but you can't just throw that around because 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.640 people know what treason is. So can we come up 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:14.240 with something else? Oh, and then it was obstruction, then 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.880 it was obstruction. They keep switching the crime. They never 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.400 can prove the crime. And so instead of saying, maybe 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.040 we should stop just accusing this president of criminal acts 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.080 that he has not committed and beat him at the 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.040 ballot box, which the Democrats are very worried about doing 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.199 because they have weak candidates and the Democratic Party has 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.319 lost its mind, they just say, let's go on to 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.079 the next one. Let's just move on to the next allegation. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.720 They don't have to prove anything, they don't have to 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.120 actually answer to their own side, because no matter how 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.000 crazy what they say may be, no matter how outlandished 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.960 the allegation against Trump, as long as it is anti Trump. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.200 The people who hate Trump, who vote for Democrats, who 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.880 watch MSNBC and CNN and read the New York Times, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.760 the Washington Post and others, they give them an a 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.959 for effort. You didn't get Trump this time, maybe you'll 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:06.880 get them next time. Let's come up with something else. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.240 They're going after his taxes, saying he's a tax cheat. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.040 They would after they're going after him on the emolument's clause. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.640 They wanted to use the twenty fifth Amendment. It says though, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.080 the Democrats, instead of trying to make their case for 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.680 other American people shouldn't trust them with power, have all 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.800 just sat around in a room with lawbooks and had 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.680 a bunch of very unethical lawyers saying, well, maybe we 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.240 could take this law and stretch it and find a 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:38.880 way to pretend that the president violated this one. This 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.559 is the way that they are approaching the twenty twenty election, 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.640 not making a case the American people, but trying to 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.480 pretend that they have a criminal case to make against him, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.960 to make against the president. And then every time it 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.240 falls apart, they fall back on well, where it's really 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.600 a political issue, it's a political crime, and then they 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.040 find an other one. They act like he's broken the law. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.120 Oh no, we can't prove that. Turns out he didn't 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.120 break the law. Well, what he did is bad bad 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.840 faith when it comes to the Constitution and our democracies 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.000 undermining our institutions. One thing that people are saying today 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.800 who are reading between the lines a little bit looking closely, 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.000 that the deep state in a sense is also on 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:26.520 display on trial here for everyone else to see. Notice 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:30.440 how the Democrats will put forward from the testimony this morning, 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.800 they will put forward their witnesses, and their witnesses can 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.080 talk about, well, my father did this amazing thing for 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.160 the country, and that and my grandfather and my great 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.800 great great grandfather, and you know, my family has been 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.800 serving this country selflessly since the revolution. And I have 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.240 no that's great, sure whatever, that that's all fine, Except 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.120 why is it that the backstory intended to give the 0:11:54.160 --> 0:12:00.359 appearance of gravitas of a political selfless service to country 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.560 in order to give additional weight to the allegations that 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:07.280 these Democrat only called witnesses are going to give against 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:12.000 the president. Why is it that is necessary or worthwhile 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.719 for the American people to hear about these people their backgrounds, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.760 so that we are so that they are more credible 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.880 as witnesses. But we cannot hear from the whistleblower. And 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.599 in fact, the whistleblower's identity is to be kept a 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.800 secret because his motivations to light the match that has 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:34.040 led to this absurd conflagration, his motivation is irrelevant. That's 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.520 where they keep telling us the underlying facts are true, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.719 regardless of what the underlying facts. We know what the 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.959 underlying facts are, the motivation for bringing the allegation is 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.960 really everything. In fact, there never should have been a 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.840 whistleblower complaint because he's not a whistleblower and this isn't 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.400 within his purview as somebody working for the federal government. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.440 But as I've told you, they have to protect that 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.560 scan Am as long as they can. And as they 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.080 get deeper into this impeachment process, then it won't really 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.160 matter all that much. They'll have all these people on 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.040 the record saying effectively with the whistleblowers initial allegation. And 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.320 I still sit here, and perhaps I'm the I feel 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.440 like I'm a lone man on the island saying this, 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.040 but certainly a lone man on Manhattan Island saying it 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:23.160 these days. Although Hannity's uptown, so I guess there are 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.079 other people here, other people who here on the island. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.480 But there's nothing there's nothing wrong, meaning there's no violation 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.920 what the president did. You cannot like it. It's bare knuckle. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.679 I'm not going to pretend that there isn't a dual 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.199 justification for what he did, but no violation. There's no crime. Certainly, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.360 And as the Democrats walk around pretending to care so 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.400 much about the Constitution and the rule of law. Just 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.560 remember something. All these Democrats today on Capitol Hill are 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.440 ranting about the rule of law and duty to the Constitution, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:14:00.120 but never forget that they were just fine with Hillary 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.319 Clinton violating the Espionage Act over a hundred times with recklessness, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:09.040 which is specified in the statute. And they couldn't care 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.679 less because she was their candidate and she was going 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.280 to be in power, and that is all that mattered. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:22.960 Remember the Democrats, power is what matters. One week after that, 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.960 Donald Trump would have the now infamous July twenty fifth 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.280 phone call with Ukrainian President Zelenski. During that call, Trump 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:35.160 complained that the US relationship with Ukraine had not been reciprocal. Later, 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.200 Zelenski thanks Trump for his support in the area of 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.239 defense and says that Ukraine is ready to purchase more Javelins, 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.440 an anti tank weapon that was among the most important 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:51.360 deterrence a further Russian military action. Trump's immediate response, I 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.600 would like you to do us a favor. Though, Trump 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.920 then requested that Zelinsky investigate the discredited twenty sixteen Crown 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:05.440 Strike conspiracy theory and even more ominously ominously look into 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:10.880 the bidens. Neither of these investigations was in the US 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:15.840 national interest, and neither was part of the official preparatory 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:20.880 material for the call. Both, however, we're in Donald Trump's 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.280 personal interest. Guess what, Adam Schiff doesn't get to determine 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.800 what the national interest is when it comes to foreign policy, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:33.560 donald Trump does. It does not matter that Adam shift 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.120 doesn't like what Donald Trump says. It does not matter 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.440 that all these Democrats in Congress do not like what 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:43.280 he said. It is not a violation worthy of impeachment 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.800 or worthy of any of this to do something that 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.480 Democrats don't like. But they are the same way that 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.800 they have been criminalizing political differences with Republicans for years, 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.120 and we sit there and take it. You know, you 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:59.560 want the Romneyite McCain's style Republican Party. Just let Republicans 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.160 get pros aecuted for stuff while Democrats get away with everything. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.320 That was what we were told we had to do 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.680 for a long time. That's just sit back and take it. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.320 Scott Walker, Bob McDonnell, Rick Perry, Chris Christie got on 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.840 the list. All these Republicans getting prosecuted for things that 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:22.080 they didn't even do, things that weren't even crimes. But everybody, 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.080 you know everyone Scott Walker was investigated, not actually indicted. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.280 They were trying to get him, desperately trying to get him. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.800 And the biggest one of all, President Trump investigated for 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.760 over two years by a special counsel for something that 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.800 the special counsel had to know within the first thirty 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:42.040 days of the investigation, was completely bogus. But grind that 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.800 process on us, that machinery of the deep state, the 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.280 federal bureaucracy that just oh, they all believe so strongly 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.240 they're doing all this great stuff the American people. Here 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.320 are a few things. The federal government is way too big. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.320 The federal government is way too powerful. There are too 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.480 many federal employees, they cost too much money, they don't 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.240 do enough work, and they think they're much more important 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:05.760 than they are. That is generally true across the federal government. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.520 It is especially true of the State Department. Let me 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.680 tell you, you'll see some of that on display today. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.600 That's for sure. They think that they know better than 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.000 the president and therefore they have some extra constitutional right 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.320 to interfere with the president. We've seen this happen, We've 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.280 seen this continue to happen. And the response that we're 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:33.280 told the president should have is just take all this 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.679 incoming and never do anything back national interests. You know 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.680 what I think is in the national interest finding out 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:46.360 if there was anything strange going on with CrowdStrike? Why 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.960 are Ukrainian back companies the only company that looks at 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.680 the DNC servers. The FBI doesn't look at the servers 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.560 the Democratic National Committee during an election year when they're hacked, 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.000 and we were supposed to think that that's not strange. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:04.440 We're supposed to believe that that's just fine. It's kind 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.479 of like how we're supposed to believe that a rumor 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.720 allegedly passed on in a bar to George Papadopoulos is 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:15.000 enough to justify an FBI investigation of a presidential candidate 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.840 when it's Trump but a vice president. So I'm getting 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:21.120 fifty thousand dollars a month from an ultra corrupt Ukrainian 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.879 natural gas company that's assumed to be just fine. Debunk conspiracy, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:32.400 they say, because it's Joe Biden and he's a Democrat. Oh, 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.920 isn't a weird how that happens? These are the questions 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.880 we must ask an answer without rancor if we can, 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:46.080 without delay, regardless and without party favor and without prejudice, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.800 if we are true to our responsibilities. Benjamin Franklin was 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.080 asked what kind of a country America was to become 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.919 a republic. He answered, if you can keep it. The 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.840 fundamental issue raised by the impeachment in Korey into Donald J. 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:07.080 Trump is can we keep it? Isn't it great to 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:12.560 have Adam Schiff telling us about the vision of the founders? 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.159 It doesn't just make you feel warm and fuzzy to 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:23.159 have this sleazy, dishonest lib prosecutor, now of course in 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.879 Congress telling us about how it's a republican we can 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.320 keep it. Meanwhile, he is spearheading the effort once again 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:35.800 after Russia collusion. Wow, what a coincidence. There's another vague, 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:41.400 bit ominous, but vague conspiracy that means Donald Trump can't 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.679 be president anymore. The first one didn't work, but now 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:48.800 there's another one, a different one. I ask you to 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.800 just approach this as a rational person. What's more likely 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:58.800 that they keep concocting, they keep constructing, fabricating these narratives 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.720 to end the Trump presidency, or that Trump really does 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:09.280 manage to engage in these nefarious, multifaceted international plots that 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:14.720 are egregious violations of the constitution, treason perhaps even, but 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:20.040 they never get proven, they never actually go anywhere, nothing 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.800 even happens as a result of them, as we see 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:27.439 here in Ukraine. But we are told that this is 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.520 the worst thing that a president has perhaps ever done 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.840 in the country. This is absurd. If you just look 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.240 at this like a normal person, you understand right away 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:41.280 this is absurd. But they're not going to back down. 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:46.840 They're not going to back away. They'd prefer the continuation 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:51.160 of what has been their most effective resistance tactics so far, 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.160 which is just to continue to flood the air waves 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.320 with nonsense, conspiracy theories about the president, to use the 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:03.919 federal bureaucracy against the president, to call for deep state 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.159 elements from within the government to speak out against the 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.880 president and use their privileged access and positions to do it. 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.199 And with each failure, we are told, forget about what 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.440 we said before. Now we've really got him. Forget about 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.280 the fact that we lied to you about that other 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.159 thing about Russia collusion, or about obstruction, or about whatever 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.440 about the emolument's clause, about the twenty fifth Amendment, about 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.560 you know that we've created all of this frenzy. The 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:34.159 next this time it's real. This time he has violated 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.080 his oath to the Constitution and must be removed from office. 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.320 Only deranged people or or really stupid people at this 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.040 point can accept this. I mean that there is no 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:48.320 explanation for this other than they are full of it 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:52.840 and they're crazy. There's nothing more. There's nothing more that 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:54.639 really can be said about how is it that Trump 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:59.919 is at the same time the most incompetent, unfit president 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:05.680 in history, just a bumbling buffoon, if you will. And 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:11.120 yet on the other side of this, he never manages 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.040 to get caught doing the really bad thing that they 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.160 say that he was doing. They have to have people say, well, 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:21.959 it isn't really the violation, isn't really the crime that 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.719 we've said it is. But if you look at it 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.760 from this angle, you know it's it. Is it this 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.160 color or that color? You know? Is the dress blue 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:31.919 or is the dress gold? I mean, this is what 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:37.120 we keep doing with Trump, according to the Libs, And 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.199 there's no accountability for it on their side because, as 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:42.199 I said, they don't care. They don't care about the 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.640 things that they profess matters so much they don't care 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.080 about the sanctity of our democracy, about about the institutions. 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.600 They only care about institutions when they serve their interests, 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.560 the interests of left wing power. That's it. They don't care. 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:56.120 That's why when the Supreme Court doesn't go their way, 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.280 they're like, yeah, let's just add a few more seats 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.760 onto it. That's why when the electoral College doesn't give 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.600 them the end result, they want, Oh, let's abolish the 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.320 electoral college. When the Constitution says things that even they 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.720 can't get around, it's well, the constitution's really old. Maybe 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.240 we should just forget about it, or we can't know 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.879 what it really means, or it was corrupt from its origins, 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.560 or whatever it may be. There is no institution at 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.480 the left will not throw under the bus at the 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.160 first sign of any obstruction of their agenda, the first 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.440 sign of any trouble, if it's a speed bump for them, 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:35.959 it goes under the bus. By the way, Shift in 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:39.440 one of his best moments, This was great today play 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.520 twenty two. This is Adam Shift talking. Do you anticipate 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.919 when we might vote on the ability to have the 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.440 whistleblower in front of us? Something new of the four 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.600 hundred thirty five members of Congress, you are the only 0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:54.960 member who knows who that individual is, and your staff 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.199 is the only staff of any member of Congresses had 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.439 a chance to talk with that individual. We would like 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.840 that opportunity. I mean, when might that happen in this 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.880 proceeding today? First, as a gentleman knows that's a false statement. 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:07.560 I do not know the identity of the whistle blower, 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:10.200 and I'm determined to make sure that identity is protected. 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:15.679 Adam Schiff is telling you that he doesn't know the 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:21.040 identity of the whistle blower. Really, we know the whistle 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:25.080 blower met with Adam Schiff's staff. How is that supposed 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.440 to work? So staffers that work for Adam Schiff met 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:31.439 with this person, and Adam Schiff who who does have 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.639 access to classified information? And he's like, no, no no, no, 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.840 I don't want to know who this person is. How 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.800 could he know if the whistle blower is credible at all? 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.720 He's gonna take the word of his staffers entirely on this. 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.639 He's gonna leave that decision making, leave himself vulnerable to 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:49.399 what would happen if he ran with this thing and 0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:50.840 it turned out to be a forest, which I think 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:54.320 we're going to find out it is in terms of 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.320 who the whistle blower is and what just a clear 0:24:56.359 --> 0:25:00.440
