WEBVTT - Democrats Want Payback! 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.200 You are entering the freedom hunt. The prospects for getting 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.200 that Walt Trump promised are shaky. We will break that down. 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.120 What's going to happen with this budget deal? What does 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.920 outgoing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan say about his 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:30.640 Republican legacy? And also a look at the dual track 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.360 rule of law for left and right in this country. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.639 Coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.839 buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:46.559 decode what really matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake American, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:52.760 You're a great American again, the buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.480 Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody, Look, it's been 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.280 a tough week for the Trump team. I let's just 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.120 say it. This is not where we wanted to be 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.880 at this point in the year. And no, I'm not 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:16.520 just talking about the Fed raising rates, the stock markets 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.119 sliding down. The Dow Jones Wow swung nine hundred points. 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.240 I mean, it's a lot, a lot of volatility in 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:28.480 the market, uncertainty about the future. That's that's all the 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.319 kind of stuff that we would expect at this point. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.560 No matter what you know, there's a market correction underway. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.320 None of this is all that surprising. But we were 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.360 promised a wall. You know, we could play for you 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:46.280 just endless montages and sound bites of Trump saying the big, 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.680 beautiful wall, gonna build the wall. We were promised a wall. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.960 I need to know from this administration, from the president, 0:01:54.280 --> 0:02:00.440 how that's going to happen. Now. About a week ago, 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.680 Trump was saying we're gonna shut down, We're gonna have 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.120 that fight. I mean, remember we discussed it here on 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.600 the show, that throwdown he had with Nancy Pelosi and 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.200 Chuck Schumer in the Oval office. You know, there were 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:21.000 people like me who didn't see the Trump phenomenon early on. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.120 You know, I had my reservations, and one of my 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.320 biggest reservations was is he just saying this stuff? Now? 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.800 That said, I didn't see any other option better than Hillary, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.239 and I think putting him in the position to win 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.840 was the right move no matter what. So I mean, 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.720 I have no regrets. I have no regrets, but I 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.400 do have concerns about where this is going with Trump. Now. 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.960 I do have my worries because this was a central 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:57.200 promise and this would have been one of those times 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.440 where we could have said you know, despite all the pressure, 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:06.200 all the opposition, all of the mainstream media gathered together 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.119 in this effort to try and tear down this president, 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:14.480 he will have he would have pushed through and kept 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.480 faith with his bass and kept faith with the promises 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.160 that he made. And I don't see how he walks 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.320 away from this right now without at least expecting those 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.960 of us who are really rooting for him and supporting him, 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.799 and people like me who are out there openly defending him. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.840 You know, it's not always easy. It's it's not fun 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.200 to have to go on TV sometimes when they say, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.960 you know, why did Donald Trump's charity pay the eleven 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.839 dollar boy Scout fee for his son twenty years ago? 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.320 I mean, one who cares, right? But two, I don't 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.400 know why did they do that? That seems strange. I 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.640 don't like having to be in a position where I 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.000 know every time he calls somebody horse face or there's 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.760 some other you know, No, are things that I would 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.800 prefer don't come from this administration. Now, this doesn't mean 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.080 I don't support the administration. It just means that there 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:10.640 is a give and take here, and he represents a 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:17.360 movement I did not have some massive change of heart 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.280 where I think that you know, Trump is a leader 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.240 for all time based on his personal conduct. Right. No, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.599 we were supposed to be able to count on Trump 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.960 to follow through, to be a weapon against the establishment, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.640 to break down the old order, and to follow through 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.800 on promises. We still may be there. I'm hoping that 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.280 in a week, in a month, in a year, I'll 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.040 think back on this time on this show and I'll say, oh, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.440 man Buck, and I was you know, I was putting 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.919 the putting the cart before the horse, or I was 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.679 getting ahead of my skis, or you know, think of whatever, 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.920 you're cliche and you're tired metaphor all that stuff. I'm 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.640 hoping that's the case. I think it may still be 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:07.480 the case. I am optimistic, as I'm as optimistic as 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.159 somebody who's as cynical as politics as I am can be. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.760 But there is no way that I'm just gonna let 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.400 this slide. Yeah, We're gonna go into a Democrat cons 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.120 because we are. We are in We are going to 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.159 be in full on defense mode starting in mid January, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.240 meaning those who are part of the conservative movement, those 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.160 who are Trump supporters, we are going to be battening 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:36.680 down the hatches. We are heading into a squall. Democrats 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.520 and the media want payback. The Muller probe is not 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.719 ending any time soon. You know. I've been saying that 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.240 other people. Oh it's gonna end by Labor Day. Oh 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.799 it's gonna end by Christmas. Nope, this thing is gonna 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.960 go on and on and on because the purpose of 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.040 it is to grind away at Trump and his supporters. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.119 The thing that motivates Weissman and Muller and their team 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:07.320 of angry Democrats is that they know the processes, the punishment, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.760 and if they can just keep this thing going, it's 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:17.440 a very effective means of stunting, of hobbling the Trump 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.120 administration and its mission. It just has to keep doing 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.160 what it does. They don't have to prove collusion. They 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.320 never were going to prove collusion. It's a farce. It's 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:32.599 a joke. But we can't counter on executive orders either, 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.960 by the way, to move the football down the field 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.880 for Trump, because all it takes is one judge in 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.799 the Ninth Circuit and the Fifth Circuit and whatever circuit 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.600 to say sorry, Trump doesn't get his way, And by 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.920 the time that gets up to the Supreme court or 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.839 it gets overturned, we'll be even closer to election, and 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.240 you know what happens. You know, a year from now, 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.560 we're just an election mode. There's not going to be 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.880 any policy, They're not going to be any any bills 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.640 pass or anything important going on in that regard. So 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.039 the first two years was when Trump really had the 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:15.920 opening to do something meaningful, meaningful on immigration, and we 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.280 have not gotten it yet. There maybe a time when 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.040 Trump can you know, finally do this. You know, I 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.600 also say I don't know why he hasn't released more 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.400 of the information about the Russia origin a Russia collusion 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.720 investigation and its origins. He told me, the President told 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.200 me that he was he was going to do that. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.160 So yeah, that that's we're looking at. That that's going 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.120 to happen. Hasn't happened yet. It was not a good 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.040 week for General Flynn this week. It has not been 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.120 a good week for the administration. So we need to 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.760 be honest about that. We're not effective in spreading the message. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.680 We're not effective supporters of the movement or activists or well, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.880 you know whatever, patriots. However you want to self describe 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.240 this point in time in this country, we have to 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.160 be honest about where things are and where this is 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:10.240 all going, and after pressure, where we can And I mean, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.160 I'm here in DC, I'm talking to all my people. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.760 I'm talking to people that are going in and out 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.520 of the White House on a regular basis to talk 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.880 to the people that are making these decisions. And I'm saying, look, 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.640 you got you gotta you guys are gonna make this happen. 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.040 It's go time, and you know it's not too late. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.960 That's one of the reasons why I'm sitting here talking 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.200 about this, because there are people I know who listen 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:37.640 to this show here in DC who have real leverage, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:42.000 sway and access, and they can get the word out. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.040 They can tell people to tell the man himself, you've 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.880 got to fight this fight. We were told for heading 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.120 into a shutdown. We were told that the President was 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.480 willing to go to the mat on this, and that 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:03.560 is not happening. And I have not gotten to acceptable 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:10.840 answer as to why that is the case. Accountability, my friends, Accountability, 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.760 we must enforce it ourselves. We must be willing to 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.760 self correct this movement, to assess where it's going, what 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.720 it has accomplished. Yes, judges, great deregulation, great tax cuts, Gramy, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.719 you know, we're all you're aware of all that. I'm 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:31.560 aware of all that. Not Hillary. Wow, great, right, I mean, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.960 there's so much good stuff and I am forever thankful 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.840 to Trump for those things, and the movement and the 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.920 political miracle that he pulled off is still incredible. But 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:48.880 it's not enough. We're not there yet. You know, if 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:54.560 this is going to be a momentous administration that is 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:59.440 the equivalent of what Reagan was for thirty years after 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.560 he was an office and still is in many ways 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.679 to this day. Trump has got to be willing to 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.000 have the tough fights and we haven't had haven't had 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.120 it on healthcare, haven't had it on an immigration. And 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.360 you know, keep in mind the president doesn't just have 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.559 the Democrat to contend with. You know, we could get 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.720 a major national security challenge here. Who knows what's going 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:25.240 to happen. Yeah, there's the Chinese and their preparations to 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.640 overtake us economically and militarily in the next twenty years. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.320 And but South China. See, something could heat up really 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:33.520 fast all of a sudden, You're in the the midst of 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.719 a crisis. Terrorism could come back. God forbid, and then 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.920 the administration's embattled just dealing with Chihatas you know, there's 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.559 a lot of stuff that falls into those unknown, unknown 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:50.000 categories that can come back and bite you. So the 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.440 time is now. Trump has said that this is what 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.080 we're going to do. We're going to have this fight. 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.880 They're going to build a wall. I hope that he 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.520 still intends to keep his promise. I think he will, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:09.040 but I expect him to. I was on Fox last 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.680 night and we discussed the Flint situation and also this 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.280 shutting down of the Trump charity, and it really it 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.280 really turned into a discussion about the two tiers of 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.520 law in this country. It's one of the most damaging 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.200 things that's happening in America right now. It's a bigger 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.640 concern for me in the near future than, you know, 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.280 than other big structural problems, you know, the debt and 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.920 things that we could talk about at length. Why is 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.400 it that we have just come to accept that Republicans, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:45.880 for political purposes, get destroyed by abuse of the law 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.400 and abuse of power from within the government, and Democrats 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.640 get to skate, get to get off scott free for 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.920 for far worse violations. Why is it. The Clinton Foundation 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.120 doesn't ever get investigated by any attorney general, State attorney general, 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.719 US Attorney General a usays nobody. No one's going after 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.440 Clinton foundation two billion dollars raised, big pay to play 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:15.200 access scheme. But we're hearing about a Trump charity that 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.560 they wanted to shut down two years ago that's got 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.600 a little over a million dollars in total assets. Why 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.280 the disparity. We'll tackle that in a moment. Stay with me. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.840 The charge was out of line for part of the 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.040 hearing today. I think people were surprised by that. But 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.240 there's possible for two things to be true. It's possible 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:41.360 that Flynn got again the rough end of things here. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.439 He was set up by the FBI. It's also possible 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.360 that he lied. These things can be true simultaneously. I 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:51.280 think they were two tiers of justice, my friends. It's 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.480 very troubling. It's very troubling because it's systemic, and if 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.360 you know the history of how high level prosecutions go, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.520 you know that republic alikins always, always, always seem to 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.800 just get the doubt of the benefit, as they say, 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.600 and Democrats get the benefit of the doubt, and then 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.800 some they get the Hillary treatment, the white glove treatment, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.679 the oh, we're not going to put you under oath, 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.760 We're not going to prosecute you, We're not going to 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:20.920 chase after you treatment. Victor Davis Hanson one of the 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.400 pre eminent conservative minds in my opinion, in this country. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.320 He expressed he's gone into this as well. He might 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.880 sound like, Wow, I don't want to sound grandiose, sound 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.640 like yours. Truly. Maybe I sound like Victor Davis Hanson sometimes. 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.320 But he says that there is an inequality in the law. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.760 Play clip three. There's a really inequality of the law. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.600 I mean, we talk about the elites, but think of 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.320 the array of people who have not told the truth. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.000 Andrew McCabe was fired for line to federal investigators. James 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:53.360 Comey's statements about the FISA Court and the role of 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.120 the dossier are not true. James Clapper light under oath 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.679 to Congress John Brennan Light under oath to Congress. Susan 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.360 Rice lied when she said she did not request surveiled 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.920 transcripts and have the moun mask whom Aberdeen and Cheryl 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.480 Mills lied when they said they did not have knowledge 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.880 of the email server of their boss. Hillary Clinton. We've 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.319 had a lot of wrongdoing by elites and nobody's there's 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.920 been no consequences. So the American people are not paranoid. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.440 They're saying, well, the Muller investigations going here, but they're 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.480 going after misdemeanors are nothing, and here these felonies go 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:33.560 completely on address them. That is at the heart of 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:38.200 the issue, and that's what the phenomenon of the Special 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.920 Council and all the different nonsense around it from the 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.560 media has shown us that there is one set of 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.120 laws or one it's really it's the application of law. 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.800 It's the decision to investigate and the decision to prosecute. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.760 The biggest one being the decision to prosecute, you know, 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.640 because you can have an investigation and go through the 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:06.360 motions and nothing happens. The differentiation, the real point of 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.960 departure here is are you going to face charges? Because 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.640 the decision to prosecute is the decision to destroy. Once 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.600 you are getting prosecuted, you are suffering. You are being punished, 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:22.760 even if you're innocent. That's the single biggest difference in 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.840 this whole process. Who gets prosecuted is where you really 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.400 have to look at the inequality where you know, we 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.760 always focus on how other disparate sentences and who goes 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.120 to prison longer, no, who gets prosecuted when it could 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.480 go either way. You know, this is when we're talking 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.240 about lying under rowth campaign finance violations, you know, conspiracy 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:49.000 to defraul the US government, these kinds of charges. I 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.480 don't know how we're supposed to trust the judgment of 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.840 some of the people involved here, like Homey, who's a 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.240 liar and a snake and a self dealer. Why are 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.320 we supposed to trust McCabe a liar under oath? Why 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.960 hasn't he been charged? I never get good answers to this. 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:09.040 Weissman whose Muller's Number two destroyed Arthur Anderson, caused so 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.280 many people their jobs, ruined life for what to make 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.880 a name for himself, Just like Patrick Fitzgerald, the Special 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.440 Council appointed by James Comedy to go after Scooter Libby 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:26.480 and Cheney and Karl Rove. The Mueller investigation is not 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.600 something that is apart from all of this at all. 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.320 It is just the heart of it, is the center 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.600 of it. Victor Davis Hansen continued play for this Muller 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.920 investigation is not in isolation. We had remember from the 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.200 day Trump was elected, we were told that the voting 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.520 machines were fogg we're going to sue. And then there 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.840 was in a group we remember about the electoral college. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.840 We had to overturn to the electors. And then we 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.680 went to the twenty fifth amendment that Trump was unbalanced, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.120 and then that didn't work. Then we went to the 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.840 emoluments clause he'd profited even though his businesses had lost 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:03.080 a billion dollars, and then we've gone to the Muller 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.040 And so there's a slow motion, if you will. I 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.679 don't want to be two psychodramatic like MSNBC guests, but 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.800 there is sort of a slow motion coup to overturn 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.480 the elections when we should just take a deep breath 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.320 and say, we have a chance to adjudicate this in 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.199 the next twenty election, and we do not want to 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.720 destroy two and a half two over two centuries of 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:32.160 American constitutional jurisprudence. He's right, It's just like what I've 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:37.480 been telling you here, all these different constructions, all these 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:42.320 different interpretations of the law, including ones that are just 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:48.520 such a reach, such a stretch, so flimsy. The logan Act, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.080 the Emolument's clause, the twenty fifth Amendment as applied to 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.879 Trump because they don't like his tweets, all things meant 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:03.240 to end this presidency using some legal mechanism. Now it's 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:08.520 FEC violations. Oh, the Federal Election Commission. That's what they 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.840 think they're going to do. They make it up as 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.879 they go along. They have no ethics, they have no honor. 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.439 We are fighting a dishonorable enemy here for the future 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.800 of the Trump administration. So while on the one hand, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.879 I have criticized, and I think rightly so, that Trump 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.920 needs to get back on message here and get back 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.960 on track with promises he made to all of us, 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.120 But on the other we all need to be prepared 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.520 for the vortex that is coming our way. He is 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.159 going to be lawfare on steroids, and Trump is going 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.280 to get every true believer in supporter. He has to 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.080 mount up shields. Hie. You know it's interesting here, mamie. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.280 This is another win for the so called Steel dossier. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.080 There's the question of whether there's the tape that exists 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:56.919 that was brought up in the Steele dossier, which is 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.000 by the way, looking better and better as more charge 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.280 are broad nothing. Nothing in that dossier. The Michael Steele, 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.000 the Christopher Steele dossier has been proven to be wrong. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.520 When I read the Steele dossier when it first became 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.240 publicly available, what occurred to me is somebody who used 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.520 to do this for a living is there were a 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.080 lot of details that should have been easy enough for 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.520 the FBI to run down and corroborate. There were sources 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.240 that were identified with enough specificity that they should have 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.480 been able to figure out who they were. You know, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.199 the incident where they go in brief Trump at Trump Towers. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.640 That's five months after this information started to come into 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.639 the FBI. And the thought that they hadn't corroborated it 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.679 by then and yet they were using it as information 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.239 that was worthy of briefing the president elect is just 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:53.119 astonishing to me. It is astonishing. As our friend Annie 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:57.360 McCarthy says, there it is. You know, we began that 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.200 SoundBite with a bunch of different you know, mainstream media 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.399 hacks all saying, oh, the dossier, dossier looks real. Can't 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.000 disprove the dossier, you know, if we don't know, let's 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:13.800 assume it's true. You know, that's just craziness from these people, 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.280 and as Andy points out that the dossier was presented 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.199 to Trump, this was this was really the compromiut. You know, 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.399 they often talk about how Flynn was compromised and that's 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:26.840 why they had to talk to him, which was a lie. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.960 Sally h has cooked that up. But they'll talk about how, 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.960 you know, somebody has compromising information on Trump. The only 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.440 people who really had compromising information on Trump were the 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:42.960 federal government employees, the deep staters, who showed up in 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.919 a meeting with Trump to present him with this fanciful 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.760 list of nonsense paid for by Hillary and the DNC. 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.520 This whole thing, the fact that the Trump administration is 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.240 under so much pressure in getting so much, you know, 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.639 such an assault from all these different legal angles, and 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:09.680 nothing happens. Nothing happens to those who weaponize the intelligence community. 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.200 Nothing happens to those who were so reckless and so 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:18.320 abusive in their power here, and they were There's no 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.240 there's no two ways about it. To run a run 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.679 fis a surveillance on carter Page. You've got to be 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:31.240 blanking kidding me on carter Page. To run FBI and 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:39.080 maybe even Intel assets against George Papadopoulos, this is all pretextual. 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.320 This is all a few people with access and power 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:48.160 who hated Trump, didn't like the idea of him being president, 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.840 thought Hillary deserved it, wanted to make sure that that happened, 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.359 and knew that when Hillary won, they'd be heroes. And 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.600 then when Hillary didn't one, they had to they had 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:02.199 to create a justification after the fact for all of 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:08.200 this this stuff. These same names keep coming up. I 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.359 like to remind people, James Comey is the one who 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:19.200 appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to be the special prosecutor, the special 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:23.880 prosecutor who then went after Scooter Libby on Oh, that's right, 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:28.159 lying under oath. That's all they got, Scooter Libby on 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.320 lying under oath and obstruction, which is just essentially piling 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:37.000 another count on top for lying. So there's a history 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.560 for these individuals. None of this should be a surprise. 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.879 None of this is a shock. These are bad people 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.720 who have been involved in the politicization of the Justice 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:50.960 Department and the utilization of the federal government's power for 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:56.560 partisan ends stretching back for years. But with Trump they 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.359 went all out. I mean with Trump, it was break 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.240 the glass, do everything you gotta do. We've got to 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:08.480 stop this guy. And yet Trump is the only one 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:13.680 and people around him that suffer any consequences. It is 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:22.560 a grotesque injustice that Hillary Clinton faced nothing for her recklessness, 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.760 which was it was not just about although that was, 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.880 you know, the primary criminal issue. It was not just 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:32.840 about the exposure of classified information to the server. It 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.719 was also the fact that she did that because she 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:39.879 wanted to evade records requests. She wanted to evade FOIA. 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.960 She wanted to evade FOIA because she knew that people 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.600 were going to be asking her for favors. And if 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:49.840 there was ever any real transparency around the Clinton Foundation, 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.440 then the whole house of cards would fall down. But 0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:57.280 you know, do people still talking to people look at 0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.760 the dossier and say to themselves a whole lot of 0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:04.000 sect and you know, is this something that we ever 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:07.040 should have believed? Other way? It's it's forign And you 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:08.840 want to have a foreign intervention the election, I mean 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:10.960 you hired a foreigner to use foreign sources and ran 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.240 that to the FBI. That sounds like foreign intervention to me. 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:19.680 You want to talk about collusion, that's collusion. I mean 0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:23.679 that's working with foreign entity should try and try and 0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:28.800 throw a presidential election very very clearly. So you know, 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.160 you know, John Ratcliffe Byther was talking about the Coomy, 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.399 the Comy testimony here. You know, Comy's been doing his 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:39.720 usual self aggrandizing grandstanding this week. That's that's Coomy's favorite thing. 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:46.040 Um And Ratcliffe spoke about how, you know President Obama 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:50.359 was communicating with Hillary on this unclassified server. These people 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.080 were all lying about how they didn't know that Hillary 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:53.760 had this. There's no way they didn't know. This was 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:55.879 coming from some weird email address that was not a 0:24:55.960 --> 0:25:01.560 dot gov email address, No way play It confirmed that 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:07.560 President Obama was communicating with former Secretary Clinton on an unclassified, 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:12.520 unauthorized server at least at one point in time while 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:15.440 Secretary Clinton was in Russia. So it was fair to 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:18.719 ask those questions. That wasn't any information that he volunteered, 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.880 and so we were really trying to probe into that, 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.480 trying to probe into that. You know, Lauretta Lynch was 0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.959 also down on on Capitol Hill today and you know, 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.000
