WEBVTT - Remembering Dr. King 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.360 All right, glad you with us two hundred and eighty 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:08.640 eight days. Doesn't matter what these corrupt, abusively biased, psychotic, 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.200 rage filled hate Trump mob and the media and the 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.480 Democrats do when we know how this is all gonna end. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.079 That's the bottom line. And I am I am really 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.200 angry at some week Republican senators because this, you know, 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.560 John Cordnan even said it himself and David Purdue, the 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.080 House managers should proceed with the evidence they used to 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.879 impeach Trump in the House and stop demanding that the 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:41.159 Senate take on their constitutional role. They are given in 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:46.360 the US Constitution the sole power to impeach the president 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:52.160 and others officers, judges, etc. That's their role. The Senate's 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:56.880 sole role is to listen via trial to the evidence 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.600 that led to their vote to impeach they have now impeached. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.520 Now the trial and the Senate, and I think Cornin 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:09.080 was right, the case is just so pathetically weak. Now 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.560 they're trying to ratchet up all this pressure on everybody 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.200 else to do the job they themselves can't do, or 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.200 they just want endless, never ending impeachments of Donald Trump. 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.840 I mean, either present your evidence. You know they have 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.040 their rock solid case, as Jerry Nadler said, But if 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.880 the House isn't prepared to go forward with their rock 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.840 solid case and their evidence with all their urgency and 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.920 blame the Senate and get the Senate to bring on 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.399 the bringing the guests or the people they want to 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.360 interview that they didn't even call, because that's going to 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.160 be resolved. The whole issue of executive privilege and witnesses 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:53.360 really ticks me off because that's not the Senate's constitutional role. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.800 That role would be in the impeachment process. They've impeached him, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.600 and if they don't, don't think they have a good case. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.559 If they're not prepared to bring their case forward, if 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.919 they're trying, their only argument is too, well, we found 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.960 new evidence. Okay, what's the new evidence. Well, if you 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.560 read what they sent over less parness, the guy that's 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.680 under indictment in the Southern District of New York federal indictment, 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:25.000 let's see, oh, campaign finance violations one two allegedly gets 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.880 a million dollars from of all places, Russia didn't want 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.720 to report that payment to him. It is okay, that's 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.760 the best you got. And then you reach Schiff and 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.600 his letter to the Senate about partness and the new 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.480 evidence that they have. But Joe Biden is so innocent, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.000 and it was really the prosecutor that Joe Biden demanded 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.480 leveraging blackmailing the Ukrainian government with a billion dollars in 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.720 tax money. You're not getting the billion unless you fire 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.040 the prosecutor. What was the prosecutor doing that was so corrupt? 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.320 Investigating the payment of millions of dollars to zero experience Hunter. Yeah, 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.840 they have to forge get that whole part, which is 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:07.320 infuriating to me because the lack of fundamental common sense 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:12.639 reason fairness. The same standards are not applied on anything, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.840 whether it be about h a Russian election interference, well 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:22.320 except if it's Hillary's dirty Russian dosier likely Russian misinformation. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.480 From the get go, we don't care about that. Russia, Russia, 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.160 Russia was only about Trump Russia. It is an affront 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:35.240 to our constitution. It is we are bastardizing and shredding it. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:42.200 This These senators, these Republicans, ought not legitimize this, and 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.960 they feel this compulsion. They want to be liked, they 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.920 want to appear fair, They don't want to take tough votes. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.000 They so they're gonna bend over backwards to prove that 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.640 they're fair. Why the Democrats are not fair? Look at 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:01.960 what your constitutional role is and do that they impeach 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.800 the president. Okay, now the managers have been selected. Okay, 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:12.760 now everybody's sworn in. Okay, make your case, and I 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.320 guess if you're going to be stupid and then you 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.680 feel a compelled to bring in other guests, you better 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.240 be very careful on the issue of executive privilege because 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.039 this transcends anything to do with Donald Trump. You know, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.600 President Trump invoked executive privilege. You look at the history 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.839 of that presidential power and it goes back to the 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.960 very beginning and one of the you know, George Washington 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:44.440 invoked it. Dwight Eisenhower named it, Richard Nixon abused it. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.400 But if a president and future presidents don't have the 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:56.240 ability to speak freely and get advice pure, unadulterated raw 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:03.400 advice from especially nationals, national security concerns, nobody's ever going 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.839 to want to talk freely to any president. You know. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.960 The definition actually comes back from Mark Roselli, authored two 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.880 books of executive privilege, founder founding dean of the Shar 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.719 School of policy and government. George Mason University defined executive 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.720 privilege in a ninety eight Minnesota Law Review article as 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.920 the right of the President and high level executive branch 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.920 officers to withhold information from Congress, to courts, and ultimately 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.919 the public when it comes to one certain national security 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:38.760 needs in two, protecting the privacy of White House deliberations 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.000 when it is in the public interest to do so. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.320 It is not in the US Constitution. It is considered 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.400 an implied power based on the separation of powers laid 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.120 out an Article two, which has meant to make sure 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.640 that one branch of government doesn't become all powerful. Executive 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.279 privilege is one of the ways that one way the 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.440 legislative branch's power over the executive is limited. We only 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.760 have one commander in chief, not five hundred and thirty 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.360 five commanders in chief. Congress investigating George W. Bush's firing 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.960 of eight US attorneys two thousand and six, White House 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.719 Council Fred Fielding alluding to executive privilege in a letter 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:24.200 referencing the constitutional law they called it in their particular cases. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.599 They agree and they disagree, but the bottom line is, 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:33.560 you need this any reasonable complicated organization, you need a 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.200 place where people can discuss what they're going to do, 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:44.720 especially on national security, with confidentiality. That's it. It really 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.159 is that simple. And if you want to go back 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.800 to when it was first invoked, well you go back 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.400 to George Washington. He claimed it in seventeen ninety two 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.080 when Congress asked him to turn over documents related to 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.159 an unsuccessful military operation involving Native Americans. Oh you look 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.200 at that. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that, after conferring with 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.240 his cabinet members, Washington believe the executive to be able 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.800 to communicate such powers as the public good would permit 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.240 an ought to refuse those the disclosure of which would 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.600 injure the public. That's what it is. It's really simple. 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.040 It has been you know, it is involved somewhat, but 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.600 but it remains the same now in terms of what 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.880 is happening here. Every American we got to watch these 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.800 two big issues. One the fight over executive privilege. President 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.240 has a right to seek remedy. That's why the whole 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:42.200 second article of impeachment is absurd. Well, you said you're 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:47.840 going to invoke executive privilege. Therefore, my point is you're 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.680 obstructing Congress. No, because the President, rightly, when there's a 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.720 conflict between the executive legislative branch, sought remedy from where 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.600 that would be from, yes, the third branch government, the 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:05.000 judicial branch of government. And so now the House of Representatives, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.040 they've done their job. Now they have their managers, Now 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:13.720 their impeachment managers can move forward. The only fact witness 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.040 they ever found was Ambassador Selling. Another fact witness that 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.480 never got called that should have been called, well, that 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.400 would be the congenital liar, corrupt and compromised as he is, 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.160 Adam Ship who's leading this shift sham show. Now in 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:32.439 the Senate, the executive summary of the President's defense team 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.000 just nailed it. They said, this is you know, these 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:40.240 articles of impeachment are an affront to the Constitution of 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.840 the United States. It's an affront to our democratic institutions. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.400 The articles themselves, the rigged process that brought them to 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.319 where we are, are a brazenly political act by House Democrats, 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.320 and it must be rejected. And to some of you 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:02.400 weak and wobbly Senate republic Plians, do not offer legitimacy 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.440 into this corrupt process. That's what they're trying to get 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.960 you to do. They're trying to get you to take 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.040 on their role, which is solely their role defined in 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.760 the Constitution. I like how they write in the executive Summary. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:22.600 They debase the grave power of impeachment and disdain the 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:27.640 solemn responsibility that that power entails. Anyone having the most 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.319 basic respect for the sovereign will of the American people 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.280 should shudder at the enormity of casting a vote to 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.080 peach impeach a duly elected president. By the way, supposed 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.000 to be bipartisan. Yeah, that's never happened before. There's a 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:47.439 purely partisan act. You know, the jeering, the signing ceremony, 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.600 the pens, the pictures. I mean, the whole thing is repulsive. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.360 You know, they focus group all the varying charges and 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.840 they settle on, okay, well two things with two articles. Well, 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.720 the problem with what they've settled on here is is 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:08.760 not a single article they don't identify any impeachable offense bribery, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.520 high crimes, misdemeanors, abuse of power is not an impeachable offense. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.040 And that their theory about abuse of powers so plants 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.880 the standard high crimes, misdemeanors and briberies and a made 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.000 up theory and the House and the president's attorneys are right, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.760 that would permanently weaken the presidency. It would effectively permit 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:36.520 impeachments based on mere political and policy disagreements. And by 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.800 limiting impeachment to cases of treason, bribery, or other high 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:47.360 crimes and misdemeanors, the Framers restricted impeachment to very specific 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:53.160 offenses against already known an established law. I've been arguing, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.559 no one seems to want to listen to me that 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.640 when the President said, do us a favor, Yeah, I 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.720 want you to look into this. You know what involvement 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:06.080 did you have? A Ukrainian court determined that, in fact, 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.240 Ukraine interfered in the twenty sixteen election. Well, that's a 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.559 big deal. Do us a favor, not do me a 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.040 do us meaning both countries. Can you get to the 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.640 bottom of this, Well, that would be important to get 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.800 to the bottom of. By the way, you don't have 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.600 to take my word for it. Look at the liberal 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:28.080 media and you have the political article January eleventh, twenty seventeen, 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:33.120 Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire. And you watched the 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.800 mob and the media to say, well, they're trying to 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.440 say that Russia didn't do it, that really was Ukraine. No, 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.720 I do believe Russia tried to interfere in our elections, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:46.360 as was worn by Devin Nunas in twenty fourteen, but 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.440 that doesn't mean Ukraine didn't also, and well, Ukrainian Court 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.920 and Politico in January of twenty seventeen told us they did. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.320 That Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:03.120 President elect Trump after quietly working to boost Hillary. Oh, 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.120 they were trying to influence our elections. That's what politicos saying. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.280 That's what the Ukraine Court said, Separate and apart from 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:14.600 any interference Russia was involved in and Poorshiko's administration, along 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.600 with Ukrainian embassy in Washington, insist they stayed neutral. The 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.240 problem is the article goes on to chronicle exactly what 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.600 they did. How Ukrainian government officials I'm reading verbatim, tried 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.400 to help Hillary Clinton undermine Trump by publicly questioning his 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.680 fitness for office, also disseminating documents implicating a top Trump 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.240 aid in corruption and meeting mana for it, I would assume, 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.440 and suggested that they were investigating the matter, only to 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.080 back away after the election. They helped Hillary Clinton's allies 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.040 research damaging information on Trump and his advisers. A political 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:53.200 investigation found a Ukrainian American operative who was consulting for 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.400 the DNC. Oh, they're colluding, met with top officials in 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.600 the Ukrainian embassy in Washington in an effort to expose 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.600 ties between Trump, Manaport Russia. Ukrainian efforts had an impact 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.960 in the twenty sixteen race, helping to force Manaport's resignation, 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.360 advancing the narrative the Trump's campaign was deeply connected to 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.920 Ukraine's foe to the east Russia. The mob is saying, well, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.240 it's a conspiracy theory. Well, then talk to Politico all 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.480 through that article now works at the New York Times. Wow, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.640 I don't want to. I'm sure they regret writing the 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.360 truth for one time in their life. This whole abuse 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:35.040 of how power article is not an impeachable offense. It 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.000 is not. It is not there, just like the soul 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.800 power to impeach. That is the role, the sole role 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.840 of the House, trial, sole role of the Senate. Now 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:50.160 the House managers present your case or withdraw them. You 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.480 know this theory that a president can be impeached for 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:58.480 taking permissible actions, or I've been arguing rightfully, the president 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:03.000 asking both about election an interference and the president asking 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:08.360 about Joe on tape. You're not getting the billion unless 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:13.160 you fire the prosecutor who is investigating my zero experience 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.559 son who's being paid millions. That would be faithfully executing 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.360 laws because on the surface, well, we have identified through 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.520 our legal team numerous laws that we strongly believe would 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.680 apply in that particular case. You know that the idea 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.320 of obstruction, that's not an impeachable offense. When there is 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:37.320 a conflict between branches executive and legislative branch, Yes, that 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.520 third branch of government, you're allowed to seek remedy. Seeking 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:47.800 remedy is what the President's supposed to do. You know, well, 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:52.560 the President lack lawful cause or excuse to resist House 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.359 Democrats subpoenas well. They never ended up calling these witnesses 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.400 Number one. They decided it was too urgent, they needed 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.280 to move forward because the House knew that it wouldn't 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.000 be until June when we get a decision from the 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:13.760 Supreme Court. It's that simple, and defending separation of powers 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.560 is not an impeachable offense. We'll continue. I'm gonna explain 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.200 more of this on the other side, and what's going 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.720 to happen this week, all right, glad you with us 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.040 twenty five to the top of the hour. It is, 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:29.360 if this was such a rock solid case, this impeachment, 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.760 why would the Democrats be needing anything other than what 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.560 they've found. The fact is it is not. It is 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:41.160 an admission they know it's not now for the president. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.440 And this is where the Usue of witnesses an executive privilege. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:50.080 This is where your Republican senators need to not add 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.920 any legitimacy to the shift sham show that we've watched, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.400 because this is an affront to the Constitution of the 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:05.000 United States and to our democratic institutions. It is you know, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.680 if you look at the bottom line to all of this, 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.600 there's no crime even alleged here, There is no It 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:19.240 doesn't meet the constitutional standard. You know, the House impeachment 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:24.160 manager has been called out for making a bogus bribery charge. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.280 You know, you have let's see their manager's named Jason Crowe, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.600 accusing Trump on Sunday of attempting to commit bribery and 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.560 his dealings with Ukraine. But when I asked, it was 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.680 not one of the articles of impeachment. Y. Yeah. Specifically, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.680 he did attempt to bribe Corp as a barign government official, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.040 in this case the president of Ukraine. The only one 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:51.280 that did that was Joe. You're not getting the billion. Now, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.520 I'll give you the billion if you do what I want. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.640 Fire the prosecutor investigating my son. You want to know 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.560 why this whole Parnass argument is total bs because when 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:07.359 the shift Sham congenital liar compromise congenital liars sent over 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:11.639 the new evidence, he declared the Biden's innocent, but it 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.280 was the prosecutor corrupt all of this. You know, well, 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.040 why wasn't this an article? Well, you know, we have 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.280 to look at the entire context of what happened here. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.280 That's what this is about. This is about abuse of power. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.399 Oh so there is no specific crime here that is 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.000 at the end of it. Now, Gallup is even saying, 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.919 and they're polled, majority of Americans want the Senate to 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.399 acquit the president. This is now, by the time these 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.840 whatever weeks are over, the country is gonna have had 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.080 it with all of this, because this is all they've 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.919 given this country now for three long solid years and 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.680 it's interesting and kind of fascinating to me watching Team 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.959 Biden going as far as they am and are in 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.800 terms of damage control, because if Hunter is brought in 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:02.560 to testify about the millions he was paid for zero experience, 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.000 they've got a problem. Biden isn't taking any chances. He's 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:12.200 launched a damage control campaign to contain the fallout from 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.760 anything Hunter might be forced to confess to. Under oath, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.520 Team Biden has gone as far as to issue a 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.800 direct order to their you know friends that basically the 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:27.240 press organization for all things radical democratic, socialist, any media 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.760 organization referencing reporting on repeating these claims from Trump and 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.600 his allies must state clearly and unambiguously that they have 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:40.280 been discredited and debunked by authoritative sources. No, they haven't. 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.600 We don't need The only authoritative source we have are 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.399 the words of Joe and the words of Hunter, because 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.280 they're damning on both sides of it. Said I'm not 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.520 going to We're not going to give you the million dollars. 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.080 They said, you have no authority, you're not the president. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.639 The president said, I said, call him. He said, I'm 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.399 telling you not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.119 not getting a billion. I'm gonna be leaving here. And 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.920 I think it was what six hours. I look as 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.200 I'm leaving six hours. If the prosecutors not fired, you're 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:13.560 not getting the money. Oh, son of them got fired. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.840 They there is all your quid and pro and quo 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:23.280 that this idiot, the impeachment manager Jason Crowe didn't want 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.720 to talk about over the weekend. Well, well you're claiming 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.600 that the president in fact in this, but he was 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.560 trying to bribe. No, what is Biden doing with the billion? 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.640 And that should anger every American because you can see 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.800 it is rank hypocrisy. It is at a high at 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:44.239 the highest level, even imaginable. But they don't care. They did, well, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.960 let's bring in less partners. Oh the guy that would 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.000 probably say anything at this point, Well, I got a 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.679 picture with Trump. I got a couple of pictures with 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.800 Trump at at a photo line. Well, big deal and 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.400 doesn't mean well I talked to Rudy Giuliani. Big deal again. 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.280 And the idea that Rudy the crime fighter saw this 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:07.080 corruption and hypocrisy and investigated. Good for him. Why shouldn't 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:11.119 he here's every right too it's unbelievable, and he wants 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.439 to he wants to be a witness in this case. 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.200 You know, Levine said it man did, He'd nail this. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.800 He claimed Trump is getting less due process than the 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.880 terrorists in nine to eleven. Think back, remember Gitmo, all 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:30.720 the all the accommodations, the soccer field built, the dietary 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.200 concerns taken care of. The whole argument that, well, we 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:38.040 should give them due process rights of American citizens, their 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:42.240 enemy combatants. This is the middle of a war, the 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.480 War on Terrorism nine to eleven Commissioner report. They were 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.560 at war with us, We were at war with them, 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.639 and he says this is important. Well, what what due 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.640 process have they ever given the president in any of 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.879 this None. That's the whole point, you know, Look at 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:05.800 oh Ukrainian election interference. Yeah, well Democrats, media mob, you're 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:10.320 gonna have to reconcile the January eleventh, twenty seventeen article 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.960 in Politico and the Ukrainian court. They're the ones that 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:17.960 said Ukraine interfered and faithfully executing the laws. I listened 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.159 to Joe and Hunter and I'm saying, holy crap, this 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.760 defines everything that we say that they say. They care 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.880 so much about. There's no crime that they've even listed 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:30.639 in all of this. Their obstruction of Congress is obscene 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.800 because the President, rightly seeking remedy, went in conflict with 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:39.760 the legislative branch through the judicial branch. That's what they do. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.560 He asserted executive branch prerogatives, and as they pointed out 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.280 in their Executive Summary, contrary to a mistaken charge, the 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:53.560 President lacked lawful cause or excuse to resist the Department 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:57.320 of Justice Office of Legal Counsel, and based on established 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:02.600 legal principles and immunities, Executive branch officials refused to comply 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.480 with the subpoenas. Purportedly they were going to be issued 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.000 in the impeachment inquiry, but they was so urgent they 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.000 just decided not to invite them before the House and 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.359 even authorized any inquiry because, as the Office of Legal 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:19.280 Counsel advised, the subpoenas were unauthorized and had no legal 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:23.200 bearing or force. There's your first ruling in the president's favor, 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.399 and I can't imagine that the court would ever go 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:30.359 along with this nonsense either. My only fear is, you know, 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.760 is Congress going to say, well, this is political, we 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.840 have the right to decide that no, you don't. This 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.920 is a principle that would destroy the ability of any president. 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:43.880 Has been argued since George Washington to have open conversations 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:48.320 about issues of importance involving national security. Oh, who did 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.520 they want to bring in? Let's see the Chief of 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:55.200 Staff mcmulvaaney, National Security Advisor John Bolden, and Mike Pompeo, 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.280 Secretary of State. Now they're not allowed to be able 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.919 to freely advise the president, deliberate with the president on 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:05.879 important issues involving how we deal with other countries than 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.720 the presidency, and the constitutional right commander in chief is 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:15.200 evaporated under the president's supervision. Executive Branch officials were directed 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:19.400 not to comply because the committees seeking their testimony refused 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:22.439 to allow them to be accompanied by agency council. Leave it. 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.080 That's how corrupt the process was there, and the Office 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.640 Illegal Counsel concluded that the committees may not bar agency 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:37.320 counsel from assisting Executive Branch witnesses without contravening the legitimate 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.199 prerogatives of the executive branch. As it goes back to 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:45.240 George Washington that attempting to enforce a subpoena while barring 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:49.719 agency council would be unconstitutional. The reason they didn't pursue 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:52.560 it further is they know the odds are pretty strong 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.840 they're gonna lose. We'll find out from the Supreme Court. 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.479 I guess at some point down the road. Defending the 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:07.040 separate of powers is everything the system was designed to do. 0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.800 That's why the conflict leads to the decision by the 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:15.600 third branch of government. In a government of laws asserting 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.960 legal defenses, you can't claim that that substruction because that's 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:24.520 a fundamental right. Supreme Court has instructed. Quote. For the 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.600 agent of the state to pursue a course of action 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.280 who's objective is to penalize a person's reliance on his 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:38.280 legal rights is patently unconstitutional. The same principles applied during 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:44.440 the Clinton impeachment. Lawrence tribe been on a holy war 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.879 to defeat Trump. Hates Trump allegations that invoking privileges and 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.399 otherwise using the judicial system to shield information as an 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.680 abuse of power that should lead to impeachment and removal 0:24:55.760 --> 0:25:00.240 from office is not only frivolous but dangerous, and he 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:04.639 hates Donald Trump. Even Nadler agreed that a president cannot 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.320 be impeached for asserting a legal privilege. But that's the 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:12.359 whole second article that they agreed to in the House 0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.359 and their impeachment. You can throw that sucker out now 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:20.360 because that has no legal standing. The impeachment inquiry was flawed, 0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:23.760 as we all know from the beginning. They violated all 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:28.160 prior precedent, every consideration New Gingrich and the Republicans gave 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:32.080 Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety eight and nine none of it. 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.680 And they had their audition impeachment hearings to see who 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.159 did best. And then they still are withholding some of 0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:40.720 the testimony because it's not good for them. And then 0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:44.680 they had their hearsay witnesses, and then they had their 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:49.439 opinion witnesses. It's meaningless, and well, now we needed we 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.480 need you guys to do what we didn't do. You know, 0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:57.640 the process that resulted was completely unjust. No due process, 0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.720 no equal application of laws, no equal justice under the law. 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:06.080 I mean it just It trivializes what should be somber 0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:10.080 and serious and should be only done not for pure 0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:13.720 political purposes like in this case. They throw aside all 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:18.800 past precedent, They throw all history aside, all precedent aside, 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.399 all due process, aside, and they've rammed this thing down 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:25.320 everybody's throat with no rights for the president at all. 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.199 You know, they can coct an unheard of procedure that 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:33.359
