1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump indicted.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: The charges have now been unsealed in the classified document

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: case against the ex president, And something that is very

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: shocking about this indictment is the fact that even when

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: there was a press conference, a very very short press

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: conference by the Special Counsel Jack Smith, he didn't actually

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: talk about what they indicted Donald Trump for, which is

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: pretty odd when you're the guy who's indicting him. What

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: we do know is there were thirty seven charges against

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, thirty one of them counts of willful retention

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: of national defense information, one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice,

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: and one count of corruptly concealing a document a record. Now,

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: he didn't want to talk about that. In fact, he

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: didn't want to take questions. He just wanted to go

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: out there and say we nailed him, we got him,

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: and we take it very seriously what we're doing with

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Good afternoon.

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: Today an indictments unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump with felony

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: violations of our national security laws as well as participating

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: in a conspiracy to obstruct justice. This indictment was voted

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: by a grand jury of citizens in the Southern District

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: of Florida, and I invite everyone to read it in

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: full to understand the scope and the gravity of the

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: crimes charged. The men and women of the United States

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: Intelligence community and our armed forces dedicate their lives to

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: protecting our nation and its people. Our laws that protect

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: national defense information are critical to the safety and security

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: of the United States, and they must be enforced. Violations

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: of those laws put our country at risk. Adherence to

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Department of Justice, and our nations can meant to the

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: rule of law sets an example for the world. We

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: have one set of laws in this country and they

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: apply to everyone. Applying those laws, collecting facts. That's what

36
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: determines the outcome of an investigation, nothing more and nothing less.

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: The prosecutors in my office are among the most talented

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: and experienced in the Department of Justice. They have investigated

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: this case hewing to the highest ethical standards, and they

40
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 3: will continue to do so as this case proceeds. It's

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: very important for me to note that the defendants in

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: this case must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond

43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: a reasonable doubt in a court of law. To that end,

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.

46
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: We very much look forward to presenting our case to

47
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: a jury of citizens in the Southern District of Florida.

48
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: In conclusion, I would like to thank the dedicated public

49
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: servants of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with whom my

50
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: office is conducting this investigation and who work tirelessly every

51
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: day upholding the rule of law in our country. I'm

52
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: deeply proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Thank

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: you very much.

54
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: There are several lives in there.

55
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: One that the men and women in our government apply

56
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: the law equally.

57
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: That is not true.

58
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: If that was true, Hillary Clinton would have been indicted,

59
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: Barack Obama probably would have been indicted. Certainly Joe Biden

60
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: would be indicted. But they have not been indicted. Only

61
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: Donald Trump Special counsel Jack Smith that someone that has

62
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: had an obsession a hard on for Donald Trump since

63
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: day one.

64
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: He wants to destroy.

65
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: Former White House Press Secretary Kaylie Mcananny put it this way,

66
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: when this indictment came out, and it was we now

67
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: know the counts. Listen to what she said. Is a

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: former White House Press Secretary.

69
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: You know we are in uncharted territory. You have a

70
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: president of the United States whose administration, his DOJA has

71
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: indicted his chief political rival. That's bottom line, that's where

72
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 4: we are, this uncharted territory. It's only going to divide

73
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 4: us further. I don't often agree with Ruth Marcus, but

74
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: that opening line of her peace I agree with certainly.

75
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: This is just going to entrench divisions that we have

76
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 4: in this country. My question is, where's Christopher Ray? Where's

77
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: Merrick Garland? When you look at the coda Federal Regulation

78
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: six hundred point eight B, it says this notification of

79
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: significant events. The Special Council shall notify the Attorney General

80
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: of events in the course of his or her investigations.

81
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: So Garland knew about this, right, We're an unprecedented times.

82
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 4: As I noted, Yes, he can't comment on the specifics

83
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: of an investigation. Ray can't either. But when the integrity

84
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 4: of the Department of Justice and FBI are in question,

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 4: we need something, a statement, something. Maybe he's waiting until

86
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: Tuesday with the official indictment. I don't know, but our

87
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: country needs something.

88
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Our country needs something. She's right, there is a two

89
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: tier system of government. And what you have now is

90
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: you have at president of the United States of America

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: who has weaponized his government to go after Donald Trump.

92
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: There's also another thing in here that the Special counsel

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: Jack Smith said on the Trump indictment. He said, my

94
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: office will seek a speedy trial. Why is that because

95
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: they want him on in a jury trial when he's

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: trying to run for president of the United States of America.

97
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: Because if you're in a trial, you're not out on

98
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: the campaign trail. It's a brilliant political communist move.

99
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: The prosecutors in my office are among the most talented

100
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: and experienced in the Department of Justice. They have investigated

101
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: this case chewing to the highest ethical standards, and they

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: will continue to do so as this case proceeds. It's

103
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: very important for me to note that the defendants in

104
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: this case must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond

105
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: a reasonable doubt in a court of law. To that end,

106
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter,

107
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.

108
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: Why would they want to rush it. You need to

109
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: understand the context of this. If you can rush this

110
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: the way that they want to rush it. Then you're

111
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: going to have a president of the United States of

112
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: America that's going to be able to go out on

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: the campaign trail, and it's going to be able to

114
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: campaign while Donald Trump is stuck in a courtroom. They're

115
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: hoping that while they're in places in swing states like

116
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania in Ohio, that the president would then be at

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: a trial. Now, imagine how unfair of an advantage that

118
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: would be, a disadvantage that would be for Donald Trump,

119
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 2: and what an advantage that would be for someone else.

120
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: This is another example of just how again disgusting all

121
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: of this is. You have an individual now in this

122
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: Special Council Jack Smith, who is not only telling you

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: what his motive is, but he's telling you how it

124
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: would affect the election, it would tie him up in court,

125
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: and they're proud to say this is what they're doing.

126
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: Now we also have found out more about the charges

127
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: against former President Donald Trump. This indictment in Special Counsel

128
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: Jacksmith's case against the former President Donald Trump that has

129
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: now been unsealed. Something he really didn't talk about what

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: they were indicting him on. You heard what he had

131
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: to say in its entirety. The indictment. Special counsel Jacksmith's

132
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: case against the president shows this. Smith hit Trump with

133
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: thirty seven charges in the case. Thirty seven including thirty

134
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 2: one counts of willful retention of national defense information, one

135
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of correctly

136
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a

137
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: document in a federal investigation, and one count relating to

138
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: making false statements. That's how you get to thirty seven charges.

139
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: The filing states this the classified documents Trump stored in

140
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: his boxes, including information regarding defense and weapon capabilities of

141
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: both the United States and foreign countries, United States nuclear programs,

142
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to

143
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: military attack, and plans for possible retaliation response to a

144
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: foreign attack. The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could

145
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: put at risk the national security of the United States

146
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: of America. The filing states also foreign relations, the safety

147
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: of the United States military and human sources, and the

148
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods around the world.

149
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: Trump allegedly suggested his attorney quote falsely represent to the

150
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: FBI that he did not have documents the government sought

151
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: in a subpoena. They also are accusing Trump of in

152
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: this document. Additionally, the indictment claims the former president suggested

153
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: his attorney should hide or destroy documents called for by

154
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: the grand jury subpoena.

155
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: They're now claiming.

156
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: The media, by the way, is covering for not only

157
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: this White House, but they're covering for anyone that says

158
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: anything they don't like. Right now about the fact that

159
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's been indicted, you notice that the special counsel

160
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: Jack Smith didn't answer questions because he knew the questions

161
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: were going to be coming about the double standard of justice.

162
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: He also said there was no double standard of justice,

163
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: but refused to answer questions about, Hey, how is it

164
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump's been indicted? And well, many other people

165
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: have done the exact same thing. Why aren't they being

166
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: indicted and going to trial a speedy trial? Has he

167
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: described it right? Well, I'll give you an example of

168
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: what the media is doing when someone brings that up.

169
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: George stepping'op what was former senior advisor to Bill Clinton,

170
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: melted down after a former Trump attorney pointed out that

171
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: Joe Biden had classified documents and he pretty much lost

172
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: his mind listened carefully.

173
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 5: I think there are countless examples of people who have

174
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 5: been charged up for similar crimes. But we're going to

175
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: both sides should wait and see what is actually in

176
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 5: the indictment. Meantime, what was President Trump's reaction last night?

177
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 6: President Trump, you know this won't be a newsflash. He's

178
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 6: a pretty resilient guy. You know, he's a pretty tough,

179
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 6: tough hided person. So he's not crumbling in fear or

180
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 6: anything remotely like that. He's he's upset by the notion

181
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 6: of this indictment. You know, it's a different conversation when

182
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 6: you have a client who's committed across and knows that

183
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 6: they've done something and finally gotten caught. That's a pretty

184
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 6: easy conversation, or relatively easy conversation as an attorney. When

185
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 6: you're actually innocent of the charges and know that this

186
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 6: is weaponized and persecatorial, it's a different conversation. But what's

187
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 6: interesting to me just kind of stepping out of my

188
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 6: role of the attorney and just talking about it kind

189
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 6: of person to person. When I have this conversation with him,

190
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 6: he very quickly pivots to concern about the country. You know,

191
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 6: it's not a real selfish analysis. It's this is a

192
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 6: bad moment for our history. This is our country turning

193
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 6: the corner. And as somebody that's been around criminal justice

194
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 6: for over thirty years, I agree with him. It's a

195
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 6: rubicon we shouldn't be crossing.

196
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: But doesn't the president. Don't you believe in the principle

197
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: that no person is above the law. If the president

198
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 5: comitted the same crime that someone else did, shouldn't he

199
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: be charged?

200
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 6: No person is below the law. That's really the issue here.

201
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 6: I mean, you've got these investigations in Delaware that are

202
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 6: a thousand times more serious by a sitting president who

203
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 6: has authorized his doj to try to sink the candidate

204
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 6: see of his prime opposition, while that guy has unsecured

205
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 6: documents that he stole out of a skiff dozens of

206
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 6: years ago. So look, you know we're not talking.

207
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: About some story about favorite are you talking about that

208
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 5: is a ridiculous state.

209
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 6: There's this issue, nice try. There's an issue that anyone

210
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 6: that reads any newspapers would agree is a parallel track,

211
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 6: which is the Delaware document scandal of Joe Biden, where

212
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 6: there's a special Counsel Rob hr that's investigating it. You

213
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 6: know that there were documents that were sensitive, that were

214
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 6: marked classified found in a garage near a corvette that

215
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 6: made their way through Chinatown through the pen Biden Center.

216
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 6: There's eighteen hundred and fifty boxes that have never been

217
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 6: fully looked at at University of Delaware. You have the

218
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: ultimate unclean hands of a current sitting president who had

219
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 6: no declassification, had none of the protections of President Trump,

220
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 6: and who literally had to have stolen stuff from a skiff.

221
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 6: Even Dick Durbin has commented about how this was an

222
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 6: outrageous possession of classified material by Vice President at that point,

223
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 6: Joe Biden. So that's what we're talking about. You can

224
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 6: scoff and act like there's nothing to it, but the

225
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 6: whole country knows the basic notion of unequal treatment and fairness,

226
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: and that's what's an issue with this prosecution.

227
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: I think that is certainly what is an issue. We

228
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 5: will see how it plays out, because I don't think

229
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 5: you have the evidence to back up any of the

230
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 5: charges you just made. Mister Trusty, Thank you very much.

231
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: Wow give me a little testy there right, see George

232
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: Stepanopolis and his phony outrage there right, What are you

233
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: talking about this is absurd.

234
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're talking about this.

235
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: He knows that what was said by that attorney, that

236
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: Trump attorney was spot on accurate. This is what we

237
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: know right now. They knew they were going to indict him.

238
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: They knew they were going to get him. They knew

239
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: that they were going to spin in his campaign, which

240
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: they did. They knew they were going to impeach him,

241
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: they did it twice. They knew they were going to

242
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: stabotage his administration by undermining him. They did that, and

243
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: they knew that it would undermine his entire presidency.

244
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm referring to Donald Trump.

245
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: Obviously, Democrats knew they were going to do that, and

246
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: they're going to indict him after they framed him for treason.

247
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: Never forget that as well, they said he was treason

248
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: us right. The point that was made by this attorney,

249
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: and he's like, nice, try you can scoff. All you

250
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: want to is this Bill Clinton took home classified documents.

251
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: No one rated his damn house, and nobody said he

252
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: should go to jail. Obama took classified documents. We know

253
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,359
Speaker 2: that no one raided his house or said or indicted him.

254
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: Mike Pence took classified documents and then gave them back,

255
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: and no one indicted him. Hillary Clinton had classified documents

256
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: on her email server. She destroyed the email server, and

257
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: nobody rated her home and nobody held her to account

258
00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: for what she did. Biden had classified documents in his garage,

259
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: and the only person out of the whole list I

260
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: just gave you that got indicted was who Donald Trump.

261
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: These indictments come on the same day when the FBI

262
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: got caught hiding evidence that Biden as the vice president

263
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: took five million and foreign bribes and changed US policy

264
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: for that bribe. Garland's going to indict Trump for two reasons.

265
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: One for the news cycling doesn't want you to know

266
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: about the other problems that Biden's are having, and I

267
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: think too, it is revenge for him not getting on

268
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: getting the vote on the Supreme Court in twenty and

269
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: sixty at the end of the Obama presidency. He's angry

270
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: that he wasn't appointed to the Supreme Court, and so now

271
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: as the Attorney general, he's getting his revenge. This is

272
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: all foreign corruption. You remember, Joe Biden got paid five

273
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: million dollars to do exactly what he bragged about. He

274
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: bragged that he got you know, the guy fired in Ukraine.

275
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: He bragged about it openly because he never thought he

276
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: was gonna run for president at that point when he

277
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: was bragging about it at the World Economic Forum, like

278
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: he had no reasona believe he's ever going to run again. Well,

279
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: now we do know he ran and he won, and

280
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: so now all this is a different issue.

281
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Biden, and this is clear.

282
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: He to act like he's separated from this or not

283
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: involved is incredibly disingenuous in a lie, Biden unleashed the

284
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: Trump indictment on the same day that the House Republicans

285
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: were able to publicize evidence of the five million dollar

286
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: Ukrainian bribery scandal. That's not an accident. That is weaponizing

287
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: the United States of America's government. He's covering up his

288
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: family corruption by prosecuting the front runner in the twenty

289
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: twenty four They truly believe that Donald like it or not,

290
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is the front runner and Joe Biden is

291
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: the front runner on the left.

292
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: And that's what he's now doing.

293
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: He's saying, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to

294
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: win and to take out Donald Trump. Now there is

295
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: also an obsession here by Democrats to make sure that

296
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: Donald Trump gets the nomination, and the reason why they're

297
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: obsessed with that is for this reason. They truly believe

298
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump will be the easiest person to beat

299
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: in a general election. They believe that through and through.

300
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: They also believe they can harass Donald Trump while he's

301
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: running for president, and that will be a huge asset

302
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: for them. That's part of the reason why you heard

303
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: the Special Counsel Jack Smith say, I am going to

304
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: seek a speedy trial because we want Donald Trump to

305
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: be busy defending himself and try to protect himself from

306
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: getting basically what is a life sentence if he's convicted

307
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: of any of these things, instead of focusing on running

308
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: for president.

309
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 3: It's very important for me to note that the defendants

310
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: in this case must be presumed innocent until proven guilty

311
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 3: beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. To

312
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: that end, my office will seek a speedy trial in

313
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: this matter consistent with the public interest and the rights

314
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: of the accused.

315
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: Jack Smith knows that the best thing he can do

316
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: to hurt Donald Trump now after this indictment is make

317
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: sure this trial coincides with a period in time where

318
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: he is trying to win the general election. They're going

319
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: to let him get through the primary, I believe, and

320
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: then this is going to pop up and they're going

321
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: to extend it as long as they can. They believe

322
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: that if you see the guy running for president sitting

323
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: there in a courtroom or going in and out of

324
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: a courtroom for several days in a row, towards the

325
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: time that we are going to have election day, right,

326
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: they believe then okay, they believe at that point, at

327
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: that moment, that the American people will bail and say no,

328
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm good.

329
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to.

330
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: Do that, like I'm good, I'm gonna I'm not going

331
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: to vote for him because he's in I mean, he

332
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: could be in jail, right, And that's the narrative. That's

333
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: the narrative they're looking for. That's they're hoping for. That's

334
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: the narrative that they want. Now, before I get into

335
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: more of this story, I want to say thank you

336

352
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: gold Ira or a Gustaprecious Metals dot com. I want

353
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: to also talk about another question that a lot of

354
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: people have asked me, including my producer, and he said,

355
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: look these pictures we keep seeing online.

356
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: They show a lot of.

357
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: Boxes and a lot of documents at Marlago and it

358
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: looks like, well, if you just look at that right, well,

359
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: Donald Trump shouldn't have had those things.

360
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: He's quote guilty.

361
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: That's what the media, that's what the press, the Democrats,

362
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: the communists, that's what they want you to believe. Let

363
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: me just tell you the number of documents that former

364
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: presidents have is astronomical. That's number one, number two. Many

365
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: times those documents have been declassified because the president of

366
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: the United States of America has the ability to declassify

367
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: those documents, so there is no issue. And then there's

368
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: a third aspect of this that people need to understand.

369
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: Why would a president have classified documents?

370
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Right?

371
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: Why do they need them? Well, many times documents were

372
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: classified at the time, but then as time goes on,

373
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: they're no longer important, but they are part of a

374
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: legacy of a president, and presidents love getting those documents

375
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: for their presidential library from a history perspective, right, just

376
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: from straight up a history aspect of things. That is

377
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: part of why Donald Trump and every other president has

378
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 2: these classes that have classified documents. Now there's also going

379
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 2: to be a narrative, Well, Donald Trump's a narcissistic idiot

380
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 2: and he should have listened. And what he should have

381
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: done is he should have just played by the rules.

382
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: He should have just given these documents back when they're

383
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: asking for them. He should have not played this game

384
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: of chicken with them, and then he wouldn't be in

385
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: the situation that's in right now. All right, fair point, Okay,

386
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: let's just say we use that. That means that the

387
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 2: government and those that are supposed to be working for

388
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: you right when you're the president now have leverage over

389
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: you to then attack you.

390
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: That's a problem.

391
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: Second thing is the idea that this president was supposed

392
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: to just give away everything that he had is also

393
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: not a realistic and or accurate representation of what was

394
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: actually happening. So that's the other problem here. It's a narrative.

395
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: It's a lie. It is a narrative not based in fact.

396
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: It is a narrative based on we want Donald Trump

397
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: to be guilty. So this is what we're going to

398
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: sell you on, and this is what we're going to

399
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: tell you about so that you will believe that he's

400
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: guilty too.

401
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: We're going to show you pictures of all.

402
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: Of these documents and boxes are laid out, and you say, well,

403
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: of course no one should have that stuff, right, They

404
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: all have it. Hillary Clinton had a hell of a

405
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: lot of it, a lot more than Donald Trump ever did.

406
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: Al Gore, I'm sure had them. Donald Trump isn't the

407
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: only one. Bill Clinton had them, Jimmy Carter had them.

408
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: The list goes on and on. There's also another part

409
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: of this. The president is not the one that is

410
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: packing up these boxes. Somebody inadvertently packs up some boxes.

411
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: That's also another issue here. But you look at this

412
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: indictment and I think it's pretty clear it is flimsy

413
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: at best. It doesn't mean you can't get a conviction,

414
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you can't get a jury in Miami. That's

415
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: a hard core liberal that may say, yeah, I want

416
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: to nail Donald Trump. But thirty seven counts and thirty

417
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: one of those counts and counts of willful retention of

418
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: national defense information, one kind of conspiracy to obstruct justice,

419
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: one kind of corruptly concealing a document a record, and

420
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 2: one kind of concealing a document in a federal investigation,

421
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: and one count related to making false statements. Those are

422
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: pretty flimsy charges, and I think the president knows it.

423
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: The state's filing also said this. The classified documents Trump

424
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapon

425
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries, United

426
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: States nuclear programs, Joel vulnerabilities of the United States and

427
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: its allies to military attack and plans for possible retaliation

428
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: in response to a foreign attack.

429
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: They say that is what is in these boxes. Now.

430
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Also, so you understand, the unauthorized disclosure of these classified

431
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: documents could put at risk the national security of the

432
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: United States of America, foreign relations, the safety the United

433
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: States military and human sources, and the continued viability of

434
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: sensitive intelligence collection period periods and methods. Viability of sensitive

435
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: intelligence collection methods. Now, Trump allegedly suggested his attorney falsely

436
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: represent to the FBI he did not have documents the

437
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: government sought in a subpoena.

438
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: Is what they're also accusing him of.

439
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: Additionally, the indictment claims the former president suggested his attorney

440
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: should hide or destroy documents called for by the grand

441
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: jury subpoena. That's what they're again accusing him of. They

442
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: want him, they're coming after him, and they're not backing down. Now,

443
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: there's one other thing that I do think you need

444
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: to understand, and that's about how much damage this is

445
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: doing to the country.

446
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Right now, I want.

447
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: You to hear what Senator Ted Cruz had to say

448
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: about that as we were recording verdict to Ted Cruz.

449
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: We did a deep dive into these indictments. You can

450
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: hear that download verdict wherever you get your podcast. But

451
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: listen to what he had to say.

452
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 7: I have to say, today is a very sad day

453
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 7: in American history. It is a shameful day in American history.

454
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 7: It is a disgraceful day in American history. Look, our

455
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 7: Constitution establishes a system of justice where Number one, we

456
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 7: have had for forty six presidents consistently a peaceful transfer

457
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 7: of power, with each president leaving office on January twentieth,

458
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 7: at least in the modern times, and each new president

459
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 7: coming in on January twentieth. Never in over two centuries

460
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 7: of our nation's history had a new president who launched

461
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 7: the entire Department of Justice, the entire machinery of Justice,

462
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 7: on a vendetta to persecute, to attack, to investigate, to indict,

463
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 7: to try to throw in jail the former president, who,

464
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 7: it should be noted, is also currently the leading contender

465
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 7: on the Republican side to run against the current president.

466
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 7: That has never happened at any point, no matter how

467
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 7: bad the vitriol is gotten. Nobody has tried to do that.

468
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 7: And part of the reason nobody has tried to do.

469
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 7: That is for the vast majority of the history of

470
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 7: our country, no department of Justice would go along with it.

471
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 7: No attorney general would countenance being turned into a political

472
00:26:54,359 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 7: weapon to attack your political opponent. The result of today,

473
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 7: Merrick Garland is going to go down in disgrace as

474
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 7: the most partisan and political attorney general in our nation's history.

475
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 7: And Joe Biden and the Biden White House has decided

476
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 7: to hell with democracy. By the way, today is an

477
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 7: assault on democracy. You know. One of the things about

478
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 7: the left, the language they use. They inevitably accuse their

479
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 7: opponents of doing what they are doing. So right now

480
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 7: democrats piously frame themselves as defenders of democracy. Today is

481
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 7: a slap in the face of democracy because what today

482
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 7: the Biden administration is saying is to hell with you, voters.

483
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 7: We're worried that the voters might decide they want to

484
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 7: reelect Donald Trump, and so we're not going to let

485
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 7: the voters do that. We're going to bring a prosecution.

486
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 7: And let me be clear, Look, we don't know the

487
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 7: details of the process CUSHA. This indictment is still sealed,

488
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 7: but the Biden doj is nothing if not political so

489
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 7: they leak like crazy, so we have pretty good intel

490
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 7: on what the claims are. Now, I will say this

491
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 7: this podcast has said for a long time, over and

492
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 7: over again. I've been telling Verdict listeners Merrick Garland wants

493
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 7: to indict Donald Trump. He intends to indict Donald Trump.

494
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 7: Came into office with the plan to indict Donald Trump.

495
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 7: I'm going to point out those predictions were all entirely right.

496
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 7: I also predicted on this podcast as we discussed that,

497
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 7: I said, look, the indictment is not just going to

498
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 7: be for possession of classified documents after you're out of office.

499
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 7: That I believe had been the plan that I believe

500
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 7: had been what Garland wanted to do. But then he

501
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 7: ran into an enormous political complication. It's not as much

502
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 7: a legal complication as it is a political complication, which

503
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 7: is that Joe Biden was discovered having done the same

504
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 7: thing over and over and over again, that he had

505
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 7: classified documents it seems in every house he owns, and

506
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 7: he owns houses all over the place, including most laughably

507
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 7: classified documents just sitting in a box at his garage

508
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 7: next to his corvette. Suddenly Merrit Garland had a problem,

509
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 7: which is if he indicts Trump just on the possession

510
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 7: of classified documents after he's out of office, Well, Joe

511
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 7: Biden has done the same thing. And so what we

512
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 7: predicted on this podcast is that Garland would indict Trump

513
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 7: for obstruction of justice instead that he would indict Trump

514
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 7: for lying about the documents that because Garland wouldn't indict

515
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 7: Biden over it, he was not saying was a crime. Well,

516
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 7: it turned out that prediction was mostly right, but not

517
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 7: entirely right. So what it appears to be the case

518
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 7: is the DOJ's indicting Trump for everything. They just threw

519
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 7: the kitchen sink at him. So they're indicting him for

520
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 7: apparently eighteen USC. Section seven ninety three E, which is

521
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 7: obstructing an official proceeding eighteen USC. Section fifteen twelve C,

522
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 7: which is conspiracy to obstruct justice eighteen USC. Section fifteen nineteen,

523
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 7: and also making a maturely false statement pursuanty eighteen USC.

524
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: Section one thousand and one. And so they're throwing all

525
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 7: of this. They're doing obstruction of justice, but they're also

526
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 7: focusing on the confidential documents that are doing both. This

527
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 7: indictment is garbage. This is a political attack. It is

528
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 7: a political attack from a thoroughly corrupted and weaponized Department

529
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 7: of Justice, and it's a sad day for America.

530
00:30:59,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: All Right.
