1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says he's gonna be arrested this out of

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: New York. Why because they're saying he miscategorized a payment

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: to Stormy Daniels. What's crazy is this is exactly what

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton actually did and was She was never you know,

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: convicted of anything, never charged with anything. In fact, Clinton

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: was just fine for doing the same thing. And she

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: also could have actually been indicted by the same loke

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: activist George Soros DA. The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: is essentially using the same legal theory which is totally

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: out of bounds to potentially indict former President Donald Trump

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton's campaign was fined for. That is what

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: the former United's attorney, Brett Tolman argued. Tollman asserted that

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Bragg's legal theory that Trump tried to hide a campaign

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: expended You're by using his then lawyer Michael Cohen to

15
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: pay porn actress Stormy Daniels one hundred and thirty thousand

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: dollars and alleged hush money before the two sixteen presidential

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: election would have applied to Clinton when her campaign hit

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: a payment for the phony Russian dossier against Donald Trump,

19
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: and they categorize it as legal fees. Former New York

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: City police officer and conservative pundit John Cardillo also tweeted

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: this out. Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones eight hundred and

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, and no one cared Toleman tweet in response,

23
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: and the Hillary Clinton was actually fine for hiding the

24
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: Still dossier payment under legal fees, essentially the same legal

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: theory on the Stormy Daniels payment. The DA is running

26
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: criminal investigation of Trump on that should tell you everything

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: you need to know. Indeed, the Federal Election Commission in

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: March of twenty twenty two did in fact fine Larry

29
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Clinton all the way back in twenty sixteen, and that

30
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: for that presidential campaign, as well as the Democratic National

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Committee for not properly disclosing payments for the so called

32
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Dolcier Still dossier that the DOJ and the FBI relied

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: on to investigate Trump for alleged Russian collusion. It was

34
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: a hoax the entire time. Now campaigns just so you know,

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: we're supposed to report expenses over two hundred dollars and

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: disclose the purpose of the expense. Where the Clinton campaign

37
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: do well, they knew that they couldn't actually tell America

38
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: that they were paying for the dossier, so instead, the

39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee funneled their payments

40
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: for the dossier, totaling more than a million dollars through

41
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: the Democratic law firm Perkins Coy. According to the FEC,

42
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Perkins Coy paid opposition research firm Fusion Gps more than

43
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: a million dollars in twenty sixteen for the Steel dossier.

44
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Perkins Coy was then paid one hundred and seventy five

45
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: thousand by the Clinton campaign and about eight hundred and

46
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: fifty thousand was also paid by the Democratic National Committee

47
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: in July and August of twenty sixteen, around the same

48
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: exact time that the FBI claimed they opened their investigation

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: on the Trump campaign. Remember they spied on Donald Trump

50
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's campaign. The payments were not disclosed until Caspetel,

51
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: lead investigator for the then House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Unions,

52
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: uncovered these payments. That is when the FEC fined the

53
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Clinton campaign a measly eight grand and the DNC one

54
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: hundred and five grand nuts chump change, just so you know,

55
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: for those two entities for reporting the payments as legal

56
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: services and legal and compliance consulting instead of as opposition research.

57
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: The FEC sidness statement. George Washington University law professor and

58
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: criminal defense attorney Jonathan Turley also noted in a recent

59
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: column on the potential indictment against Trump that the Hillary

60
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 1: Clinton faced a not dissimilar campaign finance allegations, saying last

61
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: year the Federal Election Commission find the Clinton campaign years

62
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: later for funding the Still dossier's a legal expense. The

63
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: campaign had previously denied funding the dossier, by the way,

64
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: which was used to push false Russian collision claims against

65
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, and it buried the funding

66
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: in the campaign's legal budget. Yet there was no cry

67
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: for this type of prosecution, this type of prosecution in Washington,

68
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: DC or New York. So why is it happening now?

69
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Because the dissert attorney Bragg is obsessed with bringing charges

70
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: against Trump for federal violations. That's what he's obsessed with,

71
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: all right. Before I get into more of that, I

72
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about Patriot Mobile. They are

95
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: could this backfire? Could this be a huge backfire on

96
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: the left for them clearly overstepping and going after Donald

97
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Trump to try to get a mug shot. Will it

98
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: make people want to vote for Donald Trump even more

99
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: on the right if they actually do this, I would

100
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: argue yes. I want you to hear what Donald Trump

101
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: had to say about his possible arrest and a video

102
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: that he released. These four horrible radical left democratic investigations

103
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: of your all time favorite president me is just a

104
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: continuation of the most disgusting witch hunt in the history

105
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: of our country. It's gone on forever with the Russia, Russia,

106
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and the Mueller hooks. It's

107
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: an absolute disgrace. What's going on. They even spied on

108
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: my campaign, and remember this, with all of the work

109
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: that they did on Muller. No collusion, That's what the

110
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: answer was, was all no collusion. Whether it's the Marlago

111
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: raid or the Unselect Committee hoax, the perfect Georgia phone call,

112
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: it was absolutely perfect, or the Stormy horse Face Daniels

113
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: extortion plot, they're all sick and it's fake news. Our

114
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that

115
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: we are the only ones who can stop them, and

116
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: they know it very strongly. And they're looking at the

117
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: poles where not me, but we are up by so

118
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: much they can't even believe it. We won twice and

119
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: now we've got to win a third time. They know

120
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: that we can defeat them, they know that we will

121
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: defeat them. But they're not coming after me. They're coming

122
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: after you. I'm just standing in their way, and I

123
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: always will stand in their way, Thank you very much.

124
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump putting out that official campaign video rallying the troops,

125
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: saying we've won twice. We're gonna win again. Now the

126
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: question is if they do indict Donald Trump, and there's

127
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: a very good chance this activist DA who is supported

128
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: and backed by George Soros, does this, will this be

129
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: an all time massive backfire. I would argue yes, there's

130
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans that they see a former president

131
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: in handcuffs, or see a former president getting a mug shot. Look,

132
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: there's no doubt the left is going to celebrate this. Right,

133
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna love it. They're gonna they're gonna be like

134
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: taking a victory lap. What they may not understand is

135
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: this may actually help Donald Trump more than anything else

136
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: they've ever done, because there's a certain point where there

137
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: are people in this country they're gonna say, you don't.

138
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: You don't actually go out there and take and take

139
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: mug shots and arrest former presence just because you don't

140
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: like them politically. That's not what America is supposed to

141
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: be about, especially on these ridiculous charges. Now, there is

142
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: a chance, I want to be clear, there's a chance

143
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: that you could find a really woke jury in New

144
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: York that could convict. Then there would be an appeal,

145
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: you would assume, and if you went outside of that area,

146
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: is there a chance that it could be overturned. Of

147
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: course that could happen. But people are gonna see this

148
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: for what it is. They are gonna see this as

149
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: a clear and decisive move by the left to try

150
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: to put Donald Trump in jail because he's their political opponent.

151
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: There's no other reason. That's all all it is. This

152
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: is trying to destroy a political opponent. They want to

153
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: take down Donald Trump. They've been trying, as he described it,

154
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: four different times. Is the fourth time now that they

155
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: have tried to take him down? Will it work this time? Well,

156
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: it's New York City. It's an activist. DA. I think

157
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance that there will in fact

158
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: be a mugshot. They were trying to take down Donald Trump.

159
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Don't forget with the rate of Marlago and that went

160
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: off the rails. And the only reason why it went

161
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: off the rail is because our President of the United

162
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: States America, Joe Biden, being an idiot, did something incredibly stupid.

163
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: He kept classified documents for up to forty plus years

164
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: of his time in office, dating back to when he

165
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: was a senator early on his career. And the other

166
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: thing that we have to talk about is how the

167
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: media is covering this, MYO, may are they excited? I mean,

168
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: this is like a political wet dream for the left.

169
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump up and handcuffs, Donald Trump getting ah a

170
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: mug shot? This would be amazing. But isn't it an

171
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: abuse to power? Yes? Is this totally out of a

172
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: left field? Yes? Is this being done by a George

173
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Soros activist? Da? Yes? Is this the politicalization of the

174
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: criminal justice system? Yes. Jonathan Turley made that point on

175
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Fox Take a Listen. One of the other things you

176
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: point out in this op ed is that Hillary Clinton's

177
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: campaign was fined for secretly funding the Steel dossier, which

178
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: of course was used to damage Trump with these allegations

179
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: of Russian collusion, but there was no prosecution there. So

180
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: if Trump is arrested charged, could that give credence, you know,

181
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: to concerns that the law is used against some but

182
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: not others, that you know, prosecutorial discretions being abused. You know,

183
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: of all of the cases that are now threatening Donald Trump,

184
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: this is the one he would probably hope would come first.

185
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a case that many of us

186
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: find just thoroughly proper and fundamentally weak. So if he

187
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: wants to perfect that narrative of the weaponization of the

188
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: criminal justice system, Bragg just gave him the perfect case

189
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: to do it with. So I think that the timing

190
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: here is telling. It has a lot more to do

191
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: about Bragg, I think, than Trump. He's being really sort

192
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: of hit by all sides. Ironically, he's being accused of

193
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: not being aggressive and enforcing laws involving violent offenders. But

194
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: he is certainly willing to bring this case, which I

195
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: think is a mistake. I think people need to think

196
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: seriously of the implications of this type of case. You know,

197
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: the politicalization of the criminal justice system is one of

198
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: the great scourges of the law. It is something that

199
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: we have always rejected in this country. I can't say

200
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: that this is the first prosecutor to yield to temptation,

201
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: but there are serious flaws and the implications are great.

202
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: The implications are basically, are we losing this country and

203
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be when it comes to we

204
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: don't weaponize our justice system to take out our political opponents.

205
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: You know, you see all the time in other countries,

206
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: I say all the time, but you know third world

207
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: countries and where there are coup attempts and things where

208
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: you'll have leaders that are put into exile and they

209
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: come back to power, they're arrested, they're put in Jailman

210
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: as a great example of that, you can go throughout

211
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: history and you can see this. This is something that

212
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: we should all condemn, the left, the right, everybody in between.

213
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: You should never have to worry that running for office

214
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: can mean that you're going to be politically persecuted and

215
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: put into prison because people are obsessed with you. And

216
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: yet Democrats are now coming out and they're saying this

217
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: is victory. This is what we needed this is this

218
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: is the ball game. Right, he couldn't wait for this

219
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: to happen. Over at CNN when this news broke. I

220
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: want you to hear what they said. They actually said,

221
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump telling people to stand up for what they

222
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: believe in and say no to this and go out

223
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: there and protest the weaponization of our judicial system. Okay,

224
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: they're now saying that he has nothing more than a

225
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: domestic terrorist for doing that, and that anybody else is

226
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: a domestic terrorist for doing it. Take a listen your

227
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: reaction to Trump's claim that he will be arrested Tuesday,

228
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: his calls for protests, and by the way, the Manhattan

229
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: Day's Office still not confirming that there is any imminent

230
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: arrest or indictment that is scheduled for Tuesday. Right, that's

231
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: part of the story that he's putting a specific date

232
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: on it that the DA's office is not. But obviously

233
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: the larger point is the one Fred that you mentioned.

234
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, if you are the most sympathetic observer possible

235
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump and you do double backflips, you can

236
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: find some credence in his argument on January sixth, he

237
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: did not know that his language would lead to violence,

238
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: but January sixth has now happened. He knows the effect

239
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: of the language that he used that day and how

240
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: it led to violence, and here he is coming very

241
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: close to that language again. It makes it very hard

242
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: to avoid the conclusion that he is willing to use

243
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: the threat of violence as part of his political strategy.

244
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: And that is just a reminder of the very different

245
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: era we are in that we have been at any

246
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: point in American history where you have Trump, the leader

247
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: of a political movement who is routinely willing to raise

248
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: the specter of violence as a way of advancing his goals,

249
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: and so many conservative commentators and members of Congress who

250
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: have condemned preemptively the possibility of indictment remained silent on

251
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: his raising this threat of violence, So that I think

252
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: is just enormously significant, any marker of the very different

253
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: era that we are in politically that we have ever

254
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: been in before. What's unprecedented is not that it's the

255
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: way the media is acting, it's the way this rogue

256
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: DA is acting. I really do believe this is going

257
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: to be the biggest backfire that we've ever seen. I've

258
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: talked to people that have said to me, look, I

259
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: wasn't going to vote for Trump again this time around.

260
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I think it was time to move on to somebody else. However,

261
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: if they do this, if there's a mug shot of

262
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I will definitely back and support him, if

263
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: for no other reason, so that he goes in there

264
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: and he cleans house, and then he goes in there

265
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: and he completely overhauls the Justice Department and completely overhauls

266
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: the deep state in the FBI. If Donald Trump gets reelected,

267
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: he has promised that he will do that this time,

268
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: something that he didn't do last time. And I think

269
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: it is very clear that this environment in our deep

270
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: state is so toxic and is so vile and is

271
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: so disgusting that if he does win again, I believe

272
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: he would have a mandate, a mandate to go in

273
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: there and a mandate to say I am going to

274
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: do this and there's nothing that you can do to

275
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: stop me, because I've been elected by the American people.

276
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: In fact, I would run on this right. I wouldn't

277
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: hold back on this. I would run on this. I

278
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: would make this my mission, my mission in life, to

279
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: not back down and to say, look at what they've

280
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: done to me. If they can do it, to a

281
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: former president, and I would I would make posters and

282
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: T shirts of my mug shot, and I would say,

283
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: that's what this is, what this election is about. Do

284
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: you want to live in a third world country? Do

285
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: you want to live in a in a third world

286
00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: nation where we put into prison into ye are political opponents,

287
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: just because there are political opponents. I wouldn't back down

288
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: from this. I would own it. And not only would

289
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: I own it, I would stand there proudly and say, yes,

290
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm a political prisoner. I am persecuted for having my

291
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: own beliefs and freedom of speech. I wouldn't stop on this.

292
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't back down on this. I would open up

293
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: the biggest cannon whoop ay I could find, and I

294
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: would run on this and say, this is the country

295
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: that the Democrats have created, and it's time that we

296
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: get back to what's supposed to happen this country. Yeah.

297
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: I've said this before and people are like, oh, lock

298
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: her up, lock her up. I'm like, I don't want

299
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: to lock up Hillary Clinton unless she actually committed a crime.

300
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: And I don't want to lock up any Democrat unless

301
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: they've actually committed a crime, and a crime that has

302
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: been proven and a jury of their peers. I do

303
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: not like the persecute of people on the other side

304
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: of the aisle just because of what they say and

305
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: or what they believe in. That is wrong. It's always

306
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: been wrong, and it's something that we should never advocate. Four.

307
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: It's something that we should never not ever should we

308
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: sit there and celebrate it, because if they can do

309
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: this to a former president, they can do it to you.

323
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: the breaking news on this one as well. Again your

324
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: phone calls one eight hundred four seven four nine seven

325
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: three two. Hillary Clinton gets fined years later for miscategorizing

326
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: donate or miscategorizing you know, campaign expenditures from twenty and sixteen.

327
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: Campaign didn't have to pay the fines back until years later,

328
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: was not indicted. Now you have a liberal DA, an

329
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: activist by the name of brag Manhattan DA that is

330
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: now out there saying, Yep, I'm gonna put Donald Trump

331
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: in jail for doing the exact same thing. Again. Hillary

332
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: Clinton's campaign was actually fined for hiding the still dossier

333
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: payments under quote legal fees. Essentially the same legal theory

334
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: on the Stormy Daniels payment. The DA is remaining a

335
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: crime investigation of Trump on That is what you call

336
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: a legal double standard. And that's the problem here, is

337
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: that legal double standard where they are now politicizing the

338
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: District Attorney's office and they are trying to destroy a

339
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: political opponent, trying to make it where he cannot run

340
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: for president. That's their goal. They're trying to make it

341
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: where he would be ineligible to be president. They believe

342
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: that if they can just indict him. They believe if

343
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: they can just shut him down and get that mugshot

344
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: that his career will be over. I would argue it's

345
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: going to be the complete opposite of that. Let's talk

346
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: about a great opportunity for your IRA. In four o

347
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,280

363
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: guest with me is Senator Ted Cruz, Senator I appreciate

364
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: you coming on to chat about this. The world's obviously reacting. Dude,

365
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: Donald Trump saying I'm gonna be and I'm gonna be arrested,

366
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: he said on Tuesday. And the crazy part is this

367
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: could be an indictment against him for the same thing

368
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton was actually fine for doing but never indicted.

369
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Break it all down for us. Gotta say, I think

370
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: this podcast coming out is one of the most important

371
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: we've ever done because it walks people through what are

372
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: really confusing legal issues and really confusing facts. And it's

373
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: hard when you're understanding it. You see Democrats and you

374
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: see the media celebrating yea, we're finally going to get Trump.

375
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: You see people on the right saying, boo, this is terrible,

376
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: and it's hard to know, Okay, what really is happening.

377
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: What we do in tomorrow Morning's podcast is we walk

378
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: you through chapter and verse to understand what's going on.

379
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: The long and short of it is, I think this

380
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: indictment is garbage. This indictment is this is a political persecution.

381
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: It is not, in fact a fair application of the law.

382
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: The person bringing the indictment as a guy named Alvin Bragg,

383
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: who is Alvin Bragg. He is a George Oros supported

384
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: district attorney in Manhattan. He is an elected Democrat. He

385
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: is a left wing activist. The main thing Bragg has

386
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: been known for in a short tenure as the DA

387
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: in Manhattan has been letting violent criminals go. And he

388
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: has shifted dramatically. He ran promising to prosecute fewer violent criminals,

389
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: to let violent criminals go. George Soros put over a

390
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: million dollars behind this campaign to get him elected, and

391
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: now he is threatening to arrest on Tuesday Donald Trump.

392
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: And this all goes back to twenty sixteen, which obviously

393
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: was seven years ago. And in twenty sixteen, Trump allegedly

394
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: gave one hundred and thirty thousand dollars in a hush

395
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: payment to Stormy Daniels, the stripper and the porn star.

396
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen was obviously the presidential year, and the allegation

397
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: is that he paid her that money to stay quiet

398
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: about an adulterous affair they'd had. Now, paying someone to

399
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: stay quiet is not in and of itself illegal. It

400
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: may not be the most moral thing on earth to do,

401
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: but it is typically not a criminal violation. What Alvin

402
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: Bragg is doing is using a relatively obscure New York

403
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: criminal law, new York Penal Law one seven five dot

404
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: oh five, which makes it a crime to essentially keep

405
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: a fraudulent business record. And his whole claim is that

406
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: the one hundred and thirty thousand dollars that Michael Cohen,

407
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: who was Trump's personal attorney at the time, allegedly delivered

408
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: to Stormy Daniels, that Trump recorded that on his books

409
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: as legal fees, what in fact, it was hush money

410
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: to the stripper. Now, this is a tickie tac claim.

411
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: This is a claim that has been tried against other politicians.

412
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: Member John Edwards, the Democrat senator, ran for president. They

413
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: went after him on this. They tried him on this

414
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: and they lost. The jury laughed amount of court said

415
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: this is stupid and ironically and it's what you open

416
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: your show with. Hillary Clinton did the exact same thing

417
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: at the same time in the twenty sixteen election, Hillary

418
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: Clinton's campaign spent over a million dollars paying for the

419
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: Steel dossier, the bogus fake Russia Gate thing where they

420
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: hired this guy Steele to compile all sorts of sordid

421
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: rumors in about innuendo about Donald Trump, but the million

422
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: dollars she paid, she called it legal fees. Did the

423
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: exact same thing Trump what did, but instead it was

424
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: to dig up dirt and to try to disseminate dirt

425
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: on Trump that was false. And yet ironically, the same

426
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Democrats and media that are celebrating going after Trump on

427
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: this ridiculous charge were perfectly fine with Hillary not facing

428
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: any criminal liability. I want to ask you one of

429
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: the other big questions, and we're going to dive into,

430
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of the legal aspects of this verdict

431
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: that we just got finished recording. So now a verdict

432
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: with Ted Cruz, I get to co host a show

433
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: with you. It's a blast listen to it. We do

434
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: it three days a week. But the big question people

435
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: are saying is okay, and this comes down donald Trump

436
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: has a mug shot. Is Donald Trump then at that

437
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: point ineligible to run for president or ineligible to become

438
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: president of the uniteds America if he is a indicted

439
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: or b goes to trial and it's found quote guilty

440
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: by a New York jury, which I think in New

441
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: York a jury there they can hate Donald Trump as

442
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: much as this prosecutor does. Yeah, the short answer is no,

443
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: absolutely not. There is no legal prohibition on someone indicted

444
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: running for president or serving as president. There's no legal

445
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: prohibition on someone convicted running for president or serving as president.

446
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: There are political constraints and that if you're a convicted felons,

447
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: sometimes that will cause people to vote against you. But

448
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: there have been multiple convicted felons elected to federal office previously.

449
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: We've had one of the things we talked about in

450
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: the podcast, Eugene Debs, who was the Socialist candidate for president,

451
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: ran four times. One of the times he ran, he

452
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: was in jail and was running for president. In the

453
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: United States, the only way to bar someone from running

454
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: for president is if they are impeached by the House

455
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: and convicted by the Senate by two thirds of the Senate.

456
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: And one of the punishments that can be imposed in

457
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: impeachment is barring them from running for federal office. The

458
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: chances of that happening are zero. There's no chance on

459
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: earth it'll happen, and so this is going to be

460
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: decided by the voters. But that being said, I gotta say,

461
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: if Alvin Bragg goes through with this, if he arrests

462
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: Trump on Tuesday, if he brings this bogus charge, I

463
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: think it is likely to get laughed at a court.

464
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: I think a jury is likely to acquit And if

465
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: and when that happens, Alvin Bragg, this left wing Soros

466
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: elected DA might have single handedly reelected Donald Trump as president,

467
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: which which is more than a little bit of irony.

468
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: Every time they seem to go into extreme senator it

469
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: backfires on the left when they try to go after

470
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Even Elon Moss tweeted out basically saying the

471
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: same thing that you just said, which is, if you

472
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: actually do this, if you're dumb enough to do this,

473
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: this will backfire in such a way that it will

474
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: guarantee the presidency to Donald Trump. I tend to go

475
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: with that assessment that this is going to be seen

476
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: by so many Americans as such a political enemies list,

477
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: the same type that we see in third world countries.

478
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: But the scary part is it's actually quite possible it's

479
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: happening here in the United States of America. Well, look,

480
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: it is sad, it's dangerous. It's why, as you know,

481
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: the latest book I wrote, which just came out a

482
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: couple of months ago, is entitled Justice Corrupted. How the

483
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Left has weaponized the legal System, And the entire book

484
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: is about what's happening right now. It's about how Joe

485
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: Biden has turned the Department of Justice and the FBI

486
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: into political weapons to target his enemies. It's about how

487
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Barack Obama turned a Partment of Justice and the IRS

488
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: and the FBI and the CIA into political weapons to

489
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: target his enemies. It's about George Soros prosecutors. I've got

490
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: an entire chapter in the book on George Soros prosecutors.

491
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: We talked about the Steel Dossier. I've got an entire

492
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: chapter in the book on crossfire, hurricane and on the

493
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: efforts to go after Donald Trump by these hard partisans.

494
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: And I got to say, it is dangerous. The reason

495
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: I wrote the book Justice Corrupted, is we all count

496
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: on our liberty coming from the rule of law, coming

497
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: from the fact that law enforcement is not used as

498
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: a political weapon to attack your political opponents, but rather

499
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: the law should apply fairly to everyone. And I think

500
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: what is happening right now is incredibly dangerous. It is

501
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna continue this conversation on our podcast. Senator Thank
