WEBVTT - Impeachment Backfire 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.840 Right as we predicted, these poles are headed south, and 0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:07.600 they're headed south quickly. This is not working out well, 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.720 for they do nothing. Radical extreme socialist democrats in the swamp. 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.920 You know, have they done a thing? Ask yourself a question, 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:20.239 what have they done to help the American people, the 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.880 people they represent? For three years? What have they done 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:27.560 short of every second minute, hour of twenty four hour week, 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.320 twenty four hour a day, every seven day week, every month, 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.280 and every year, all they wanted to do? They have obsessively, 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:40.720 compulsively focused on hating Trump for the purpose of impeaching him, 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.440 which they said, Well, I gotta impeach the mffor do 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.320 you remember the night that what's her name was elected? 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.000 Carson went to leap and they have done nothing. You 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.520 know what, I'm just sitting back and I'm watching now, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.280 I'm reading, I'm getting doing a deep dive into these 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:02.400 poles today and again, I'm I'm a Trump polling skeptic. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.480 I'm not convinced Trump in any way polls like any 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:11.920 establishment politician, you know, I'll tell you notoriously controversial figures 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:17.319 don't pull well. Prime Minister Netanyahu's never pulled Well's viewed 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:23.080 as a divisive figure in Israel years ago. Jesse Helms 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.360 I think was underwater. John McLaughlin I think was part 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.240 of his polling way back in the day. That shows 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.880 how old he is. But he never pulled particularly well either, 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.679 and but he'd always win and win by a big margin. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.800 And I don't think Trump is ever gonna pull well 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.720 ever or accurately. We saw that leading up to the election. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.520 That was what we had. Rasmussen, McLoughlin, and Matt Towery 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.520 three posters. Tower he's claiming that at the time he 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:55.520 was retired. He's not. So it's there. There comes a 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.320 point you gotta ad with this election in twenty twenty 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.800 is gonna come down to a very simple but basic 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:07.240 fundamental politics. One O one. Are you better off than 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:11.560 you were four years ago? Well, I'd argue, by every measure, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.520 we are the best employment situation in the countries since 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:22.280 nineteen sixty nine. Every demographic group in the country is 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:28.280 doing dramatically better. The president has a list of accomplishments. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.560 I don't even know where to start. And as I 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.840 go through some of this, ask yourself, what have the 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:41.400 Democrats done? What have they accomplished in the last three years? 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:46.640 With Donald Trump as president, I'd argue nothing except constantly 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.799 hating him. And you know, and look at how they 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.120 divide the country. We'll play it more detail later. You know, 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.280 you got the compromised, corrupt, congenital liar shift And I 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.880 keep saying the shift show. And he's a bullshiffer, if 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.679 you will. He's full of shift. There's a lot of 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.200 shift out there, shift matters. It's all sorts of stuff 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.320 in the world. So but in his own district, he's 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.760 doing a town hall. All of their rage and hate 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.880 towards Trump. Now the president has had to absorb these attacks. 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.120 It's pretty remarkable how much he takes on every day. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.280 I know people in my industry, radio and TV, they 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.639 can't even take a little love tap of criticism. They 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.800 can't handle it. They bubble and fizz and melt down. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:40.040 I've told you this before. I mean, whatever switch I 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.160 was supposed to have that cares about what people say 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.480 or think about me, it's gone. It doesn't exist in 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.560 me anymore. I have to live with myself. I know 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.240 when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong, and I 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.520 follow the guides of conscience that Thomas Payne once wrote 0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:00.240 of in seventeen seventy six, common sense, listen to your 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.280 own conscience, your own what's right in your own heart. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.920 And by the way, he also said, there'd be no 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.840 need for any other lawgiver if we listen basically to 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.440 God in our hearts. But we're human. That not being 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.600 the case fallen beings, etc. We don't get there. But 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.719 this is the rancor they have brought to the country. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.800 They have brought no policies, they have made no improvements. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.839 They have resisted and obstructed everything the president's tried to do. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.880 They have investigated to death this president. They have tried 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.880 to stimy and stifle and stop every single thing he's 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.920 tried to do, and he's been able to do it anyway. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.840 And what have they brought to the country. Not a 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.120 single accomplishment that I can think of, unless you consider 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:54.400 it an accomplishment to impeach a president over nothing with 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.520 you know, even one of the articles of impeachment just 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.480 blown out of the water last week when the Supreme 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.560 Court took on the case of whether or not when 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.919 there's a conflict with the executive and legislative branch and 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.200 one of the branches seeks remedy in the courts. Uh. Yeah, 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.600 they're going to decide on executive privilege and the White 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.080 House is going to win. But this is just it 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.039 was fascinating that it happened in chief's district, the congenital 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.479 liars district, because this is what he has brought to 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.800 the country, him and the rest of his party that 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.839 follow him and are as extreme as him. This is 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.599 what they have brought the country. I would argue, this 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:42.599 is their big accomplishment the last three years president. And 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.800 one of the reasons why is is so important that 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.000 it was so partisan overwhelming, is that this shouldn't be 0:05:50.040 --> 0:06:10.200 a partisan issue. They will not fire, fire, jail a lawyer, jail. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:24.000 You're a lawyer, got a lawyer, jail. You are disgracing 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.799 the House of Reping you will be going to jail 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:42.880 for the reason reason you no, no, n n n 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:49.279 n n no. Alright, because it's probably giving you a 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.320 headache like it's given me an ache. I'll stop, but 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.440 we'll play more later. That's what they have given the 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.680 country now when they were in power, Biden Obama, I'm 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.000 giving those numbers out of me. Thirteen million more Americans 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.119 on food stamps, eight million more in poverty, lowest labor 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.840 participation rate since the seventies, worst recovery since the forties. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.160 We had the lowest homeownership rate in fifty one years. 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:19.080 What has Trump given us as a result of real accomplishments. Oh, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.640 we've got the best employment situation since nineteen sixty nine. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:28.960 In every demographic in the country is benefiting at record levels. Now, 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.880 he made a promise he wants constitutionalist originalists on the 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.720 Supreme Court. Check he made a promise the biggest tax 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:42.440 cuts in history. Check. He made a promise ending burdens bureaucracy. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.600 We've gotten rid of more bureaucracy than we'd likely have 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:50.080 in the last one hundred years. Check energy independence. For 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.520 the first time in seventy five years, we are a 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.200 net exporter of energy. What are the results of this 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.720 stock market high after high after high wages him post 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:06.760 recession high. We have near record low, well, actually record 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.160 low unemployment best is in sixty nine. We have a 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:15.120 record number of Americans employed, millions of new jobs created, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:19.200 including in industries. Obama said that those jobs never coming back. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.920 They came back once you got rid of the burdensome 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:26.480 regulation and high taxation. And you know, if the president 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.640 has put us on a trajectory where even now all 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.480 of those that were predicting a recession is coming, is coming, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.640 is coming, and I hope it comes. Bill mar saying 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.439 that even they're recognizing, you know what, Nah, turn the 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.480 ship around. It doesn't look like was any recession in 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.400 the near future. You know, here's a guy that you know, 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.959 said he wants freer and fairer trade deals, but you're 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.080 gonna make them mad. Well they might have gotten mad, 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.080 but they still gave us a better deal because he 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:58.560 demanded it and he negotiated it, and NATO's paying their 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:04.280 fair share. And yeah, he doesn't want long protracted wars. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.160 But he did beat the Caliphate in Syria. He didn't 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.360 just draw a red line in the sand, and he 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:16.319 beat Baghdadian company. They're dead. And yeah, they didn't want 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.280 to give him the money for the border wall, but 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.920 he found a way to do it. I told you 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.920 he's going to find another way. He's gone to Plan 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.920 B and now the money is now allocated, the wall 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.200 is being built and it's underway as we speak. We 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.320 have millions off of food stamps, seven to be exact, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.720 seven million new jobs created. You add to all of this. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.040 You know what the President has been able to do 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:47.800 for veterans and helping the VAU the US MCA trade deal, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:52.840 getting rid of the the employee the mandate in Obamacare 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:59.400 individual mandate, all of these things are result really putting time, money, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.959 and energy behind ending the opioid epidemic in the country. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.040 I mean, women's unemployment is a sixty five year low. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.640 How many records have we had for African Americans and 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:17.200 Hispanic Americans. Thank God, we're helping people now develop opportunities 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.559 for themselves and their families for a long, happier, more 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:25.120 successful life. What are the Democrats done? Can you answer that? 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:30.880 And the answer is no, because this is all they've done. Now, 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.480 Mitch McConnell I know the mob and the meat. They 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.520 can't stand it because he's just speaking the truth. He 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.920 is now hinted that on the Senate floor today that 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.040 Senate's kind of dismissed these pending ridiculous articles of impeachment. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.679 It will be anti climatic, just like you know tomorrow 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.400 when they would take the final vote impeached. You know, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:56.359 fake news CNN and MSDNC state run fake news television, 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.719 both of them, they'll be giddy. They'll be happy. They 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.520 will think they accomplished something. They've accomplished nothing, because he's 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:08.480 not going anywhere. And you're ninety four trillion dollars New 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.760 Green Deal where everything's free, and we have no oil 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.840 or gas or coal and no internal combustion engine and 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.880 eventually no planes or cows. That's not gonna go over 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:24.400 because it's a mathematical law. The numbers you're throwing out 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.440 is impossible, just like the same thing with Medicare for all. Anyway, 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.680 McConnell dismissed the suggestion out of hand, but Schumer because 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.640 he said, well, the House impeaches, they vote for impeachment, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.080 and we have the trial here, and the time for 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.640 witnesses as it relates to articles of impeachment has come 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.120 and gone. And the very position that Chucky Schumer had 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.720 when he was a senator in New York and it 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.439 was the Clinton impeachment. And then McConnell rightly accused Schumer 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.120 of going straight to the news media. I think he 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.200 actually leaked to the news media. First, we don't create 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.120 impeachment here, we judge them. Okay, it's not the time 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.160 now to argue over We've already had auditions, that we 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.520 had public hearings, and we had the from on high 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.720 Ivory Tower professors. And as a little anecdotal information, the 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.840 RNC now has gotten six hundred thousand new donors since 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.880 the start of the impeachment. They have a lot more 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:25.360 money and their coffers than do the Democrats. I see 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.480 Maxim Waters has now brought forward a new Trump Putin 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.560 conspiracy theory, appearing on fake news. See and I've done 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.400 some research. I know about his alignment with Putin, I 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.760 know about Manaphort, what his relationship was, and the fact 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.040 that he had been sent there by Putin in essence 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.720 to head up the president's campaign. Because I believe, even 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.920 though I don't have the facts to prove it. Okay, 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.560 let me read that again, even though I don't have 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.480 the facts to prove it, I believe that's sort of 0:12:54.520 --> 0:13:00.040 like that, this is a crime. What's Natler's phrase, The 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:07.840 crime is ongoing. The crime is this is against American Democrats. Well, 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:12.240 if if the crime is in progress, stop it, because 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.400 we don't see it. We're looking at the president doesn't 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.760 seem to be committing a crime. So think of the 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.040 logic of it. So now ask yourself all right, So 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.560 the president is done in three years that which Biden 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.959 Obama couldn't do an eight. You know, they add thirteen 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.160 million Americans to food stamps. Trump policies get seven million 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.040 off of food stamps. They we have the best employment 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.000 situation since nineteen sixty nine. They have the lowest labor 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.120 participation rate since the seventies. You go through the list, 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.400 so you see the differences. Even in the midst of 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.200 this madness. The President, Yeah, he engages, he fights. He 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.840 sent out a letter to Nancy Pelosi today. I'll tell 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:56.760 you what's in it, because he's right. But in the meantime, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.800 every other part of his agenda's out there working on 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.000 and they just continue their impeachment psychosis. And I'm telling 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.800 you it is if the president is able to maintain, 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.720 if I'm right that he's not losing any of the 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.320 people that supported him in twenty sixteen, I don't think 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.400 he will. This thing in Michigan, this focus group I 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.720 told you about yesterday's big because people that voted in 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:23.400 twenty eighteen, they voted for Obama then Trump, they're all 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.720 supporting Trump in twenty twenty and they they're sick and 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.760 tired of what the Democrats are doing. So you gotta 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.240 let them, you gotta let it play out and let 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.760 them hurt themselves. But the polls now show that it 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.720 is a free fall for the Democrats. It just took 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.480 a little longer than I thought it would. And then 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.080 we're gonna have to come back in the new year. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.200 Then they're actually gonna run the trial. It's not gonna 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.000 last long in the Senate. Then their candidates, when you 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.680 start digging deep into what their views are and what 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.520 they're planning to do to the country, doesn't take You 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:59.040 don't need an abbaicus, you don't need a calculator to 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.320 add up ninet four trillion in the New Green Deal 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.160 in ten years. It will destroy this country. And it 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.880 is not even mathematically possible. The fifty two trillion in 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.600 ten years for medicare for all with no private option, 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.000 the math is not there. You can't You don't even 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.840 take in the money to pay for that in ten years, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.360 never mind all the other functions of government that matter. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:31.560 So it's all one big psychotic. Maybe this makes them 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.640 feel relevant and good, but they're not serving the people. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.320 And if the president holds his people and those that 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.480 have benefited the most for his policies that didn't vote 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.280 for him, come over to his side landslide, and you 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.720 see eight new polls with African Americans supporting Trump. Now 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.400 the conduct is not conducted the perspective American people, the 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.920 clock in the calendar, no masters except themselves. You see, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.640 our committee held his first hearing on December fourth, literally 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.640 the day after Shift publically released his report. In the 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.480 first minutes of the hearing, mister Censonbrunner furnished a chairman 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.720 with our demand from a minority day of hearings. The 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.640 chairman also set a deadline of December six for Republicans 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.720 and the President to request additional witnesses, but it wasn't 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.440 until Saturday. The day after the deadline, the Chairman chief 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.120 transmitted eight thousand pages of material to the Judiciary Committee. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.080 And we still haven't gotten everything. Not that it matters 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:28.880 to the majority. For institutional inst this should bother you. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.080 You can still go ahead and vote here yes tomorrow 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.040 and vote for yesterday and do that, but it should 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.840 matter for this institution that while I was in Georgia, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.120 I received a call from my staff saying they've just 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.000 released eight thousand documents. Some drives, some of which were 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.160 going to be kept in a secure holding. And when 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.800 I asked the chairman about these documents where they gonna 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.400 be use, he said, well, we're not gonna read them either. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.640 We're not gonna have a chance to go through them. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.560 We're just gonna go ahead with what we're doing. That 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.240 was from my chairman, who I respect greatly. We've done 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.160 a lot of things together, but it has been very 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.600 difficult when in a hearing of this magnitude, How can 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:08.080 anyone Republican or Democrat actually go back and look at 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.679 their constituents in the face and say, we looked at 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.920 all the evidence. I looked at everything, and I came 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.919 to this inclusion. No, we cherry picked the evidence and 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.080 we only use what we wanted to do because that material, 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.120 which by the way, is still not all been released. 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.160 There's the Inspector General ig report that is still transplant 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.760 has not been released. Now, whether it's good or bad 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.359 is irrelevant. But when you're talking about impeaching a president, 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.560 shouldn't the underlying evidence sent to Judiciary Committee actually matter? Again, 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.719 it doesn't take constitutional experts coming in and tell us 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.439 about it. It takes common sense to know that you 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.919 don't impeach somebody without a lease making all the evidence proper. 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:45.960 But you know, that's what happens when you're to the 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.840 tyranny of a clock and a calendar. When you're the 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.240 tyranny of a clock in a calendar and nothing else matters. 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.679 We've seen evidence of the President decided to withhold from 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.440 Ukraine important official acts, the White House visit military aid 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.480 in order to pressure to announce investigations of Vice President 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:07.200 Biden and the twenty sixteen elections. Why does that constitute 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:15.600 an impeachable offense? So well, mister Raskin. On August eighth, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.280 Chairman Nadler stated, with respect to the Judiciary Committees hearing 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:24.080 regarding the Mulla Report, that, quote, this is a formal 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.800 impeachment proceedings, but the House unquote but the House did 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.679 not actually authorize impeachment proceedings until the adoption of h 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.359 Res six six zero in October thirty first. So I 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.920 believe it's important to clarify for the record when formal 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:44.399 impeachment proceedings actually started. A Chairman Nadler correct when he 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.680 said that they started on August eighth, or did they 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.919 begin when the House authorized them on October thirty. First, 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.879 forgive me, missquid, was not actually prepared to answer that question, 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.360 all right. That was, you know, the sights and sounds 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.880 of the madness that has known as impeachment. The President 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:09.000 now has weighed in two in a letter to the 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:15.240 Speaker in name only Nancy Pelosi, and this impeachment represents 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:21.240 an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by democratic lawmakers, 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.119 which I agree with. They've abused their power. What they've 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:29.320 done here is this is a purely political This is 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.000 a political power play and what has been a never 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:38.800 ending ongoing saga to try and undo an election, the 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.760 will of the people. Smelly Walmart choppers like me and you, 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:50.159 clinging to our God, our constitution, our Bible's religion, irredeemable deplorables. 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.160 What they really think of us, we the people. He 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.080 further goes on, this is unequaled in nearly two and 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.439 a half centuries of American legislative history, and the articles 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.639 of impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:10.440 recognizable under any standard of constitutional theory, interpretation, or jurisprudence. 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.359 The President goes on by proceeding with your invalid impeachment 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.240 you're violating your oaths of office, you're breaking your allegiance 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:24.520 to the Constitution, and you're declaring open war on American democracy. 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.520 They've actually done this. They have now tried everything they 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.000 can do to undo the election. Now we do have 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.159 an election coming up again, as one's in three and 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:38.359 twenty two days, but they can't wait. He goes on 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:43.760 by saying that you dare invoked the founding Fathers in 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:49.080 pursuit of this election nullification scheme. Yet your spiteful actions 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:54.160 display unfettered contempt for America's founding, and your egregious conduct 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:57.280 threatens to destroy that which our founders pledged their very 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.840 lives to build. Any member of Congress who votes in 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.360 support of impeachment, against every shred of truth, fact, evidence, 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:09.320 legal principle, is showing how deeply they revile the voters 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:14.840 and how truly they detest America's constitutional order. Our founders 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:19.400 feared the tribalization of partisan politics, and you are bringing 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.840 their worst fears to life. He goes on, This is 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:27.320 nothing more than in a legal, partisan attempted coup that will, 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.119 based on recent sentiment, badly fail in the voting booth. 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.880 You are the ones that are interfering in America's elections. 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:39.120 You're the ones subverting America's democracy. You're the ones obstructing justice. 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.560 You're the ones bringing pain and suffering to our republic 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:49.000 for your own selfish, personal, political and partisan gain. It 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:53.399 says everyone you included, now they spent three years doing this, 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:59.960 knows what's really happening. Your chosen candidate lost the election 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.600 in twenty sixteen in an electoral college landslide three oh 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.480 six to twenty seven, and you and your party have 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.400 never recovered from that defeat. You've developed a full fledged 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:14.200 case of what many in the media called Trump derangement syndrome, 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.840 and sadly you'll never get over it. You're unwilling and 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.879 unable to accept the verdict issued to the ballot box 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.639 during the Great Election of twenty sixteen. So you have 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.320 spent three straight years attempting to overturn the will of 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.640 the American people and nullify their votes. You viewed democracy 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.800 as your enemy. As you very well know, this impeachment 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.840 drive has nothing to do with Ukraine or the totally 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.440 appropriate conversation I had with its new president. It only 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.840 has to do with your attempt to undo the election 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.320 of twenty sixteen and steal the election of twenty twenty. 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.760 And the President goes on this, there's far too much 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.119 that needs to be done to improve the lives of 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.760 our citizens. And he goes on and says, it is 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.480 time for you and the highly partisan Democrats in Congress 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.760 to immediately cease this impeachment fantasy and get back to 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:10.399 work for the American people. Your first claim abuse of 0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:17.359 power is a completely disingenuous, meritless, and baseless invention of 0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:21.560 your imagination, which we've discussed at length here. It goes on. 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.520 Every time I talk with a foreign leader, I put 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.960 America's interest first, just as I did with President Zelinsky. Rightly, 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:34.840 that's what he's doing. Hang on, this just broke good thing. 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:38.080 I have so many good people in this audience that 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.080 are feeding me stuff. I got like this influx of 0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:44.760 information overload because I got oh, three TVs five computers 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.400 in front of me, four million papers. They're all disorganized 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.680 that I try to find them as we go along here. 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.359 Apparently the fisichord is now weighed in. I guess on 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.280 the Inspector General report. I've been dying to hear from them. 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.119 But the longest period of time. It must be long 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:04.120 because it's taken a long time loading as it's been 0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.440 texted over to me. But I'm dying to know what's 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.760 in this thing, and hopefully I'll be able to pull 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.440 it up here. Let me see if Linda's phone brings 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:18.399 it up faster than my phone. All right, I'm sending 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:23.119 it to you, Linda, all right, Boston. If it goes through, 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.640 let's see. Oh got it. I don't need yours. All right, 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:35.840 here we go. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court WOOF is interesting 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:42.680 accuracy concerns regarding FBI matters submitted to the FISA. Court says, 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:46.639 this order responds to reports that personnel of the FBI 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:51.199 am reading this as I see it, provided false information 0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:54.680 to the National Security Division of the Department of Justice 0:24:55.119 --> 0:25:01.359 and withheld material information from the National Secure Division which 0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.320 was detrimental to the FBI's case in connection with four 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:11.480 FISA applications to the FISA Intelligence Surveillance Court FISK for 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:17.600 short for Authority to conduct electronic surveillance of a US 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:23.480 citizen named Carter W. Page. When FBI personnel misled the 0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:28.240 National Security Division NSD moving forward in the ways described above, 0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:34.120 they equally misled the FISA Court Boom, listen to this 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:38.520 in order to appreciate the seriousness of that misconduct and 0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:43.199 its implications. It is useful to understand certain procedural and 0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:48.280 substitutive requirements that applied to the government's conduct of electronic 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:53.720 surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes. Title one of the Foreign 0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:58.800 Intelligence Services Act Codified, amended, etc. Etc. Gives you the 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:04.720 exact area governs the FISA court approving a proposed electronic surveillance. 0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:08.520 When deciding whether to grant such an application, a fisichort 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:13.720 judge must determine, among other things, whether it provides what 0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:19.280 is probable cause to believe that the proposed surveillance target 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:22.440 is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:27.520 Now those terms are defined by FISA. Then again gives 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:31.200 you the location of the statute. Finding of probable cause 0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:34.439
