1 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. After the Attorney General 2 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: had to deal with an onslaught of character assaults today 3 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. He should look at the rest of 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: the left and say, are you not entertained? Because he 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: crushed those fools. We'll talk about what this means for 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: the Muller Report going forward and also the Inspector General 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: investigation to find out about how the deep state spine 8 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: got going. Plus updates on Venezuela and a whole lot 9 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: more gone up on the Buck Sexton Show. This is 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: the bus Sexton Show where the mission or mission is 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Magnom mistake, 12 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: you're a great American Again, The Buck Sexton Show begins 13 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: an he's a great guy. No, welcome to the Buck 14 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: Sex and Show. Everybody. Quite a show today here in 15 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: the swamp in Washington, DC. Case you didn't know what 16 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: the swamp is, I know you all do, but I 17 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: guess technically, for accuracy's sake, I should refer to it 18 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: as Washington, d C. Where I am coming to you 19 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: right now with this show, doing it doing it live, Well, 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: we'll do it live from DC. And he had the 21 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Attorney General getting all kinds of heat, as we knew 22 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: he would from the Democrats, the desperate Democrats looking for something, 23 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: anything to latch onto in their Trump deranged fantasy of 24 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: Russia collusion and obstruction. And you know, if they if 25 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: they had one really decent candidate, if they had one 26 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: really decent can to date for the presidency, maybe they'd 27 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: be a little bit less reliant on trying to jam 28 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: these narratives into the brains of the American people. But 29 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: it's just not going to work. It's just not going 30 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: to work. In fact, if anything, I think today was 31 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: a victory thanks to the efforts of Attorney General bar 32 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: a victory for those of us who want answers about 33 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: what was done to Trump, not what Trump did, what 34 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: was done to Trump. The Democrats today on the committee 35 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: up on Capitol Hill came after bar with everything they had. 36 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: They did everything that they could to make him look 37 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: like he was a pro Trump partisan, that he was 38 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: not ethical back and they failed. For any honest observer, 39 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: they failed. And it was worse than that for the 40 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: Democrats because if you watch some of the hearing, which 41 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: I know you have lives and jobs and families, so 42 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: you didn't but I had to. And when you were 43 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: watching the hearings, what you saw were Democrats who were 44 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: also unnerved by the fact that Bar's not backing down. 45 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: Bar is not backing down from any of what he 46 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: has said in the past. He's not going to get 47 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: pushed into irrelevancy. He's not going to bend the knee 48 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: to the Democrats and their little media lackeys. He knows 49 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: what went on here. He knows what happened when they 50 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: tried to push him, for example, on the spying on 51 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: a presidential campaign, which absolutely happened, and he has said, oh, 52 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: I'll look into whether it was legit, but they spied, 53 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: And just keep repeating that to yourself whenever you need 54 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of a sanity check when you're surrounded 55 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: by Democrat lefties who think that Trump was taken orders 56 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: from putin. The Obama administration allowed, and increasingly looks like 57 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: ordered from the top spying on the Trump presidential campaign 58 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: using the United States intelligence community. This is the biggest 59 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: political scandal of my lifetime. There's no question about it. 60 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: And the word spying applies. Barr said today when pushed 61 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: on this, that he thought it was quote a good 62 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: English word and notes all the faux outrage because the 63 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: press uses it routinely. They've used it tons of times. 64 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: They didn't mind the use of the word spying when 65 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: they thought that it was leading to a conclusion that 66 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: the president of the United States committed treason essentially and 67 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: cheated in an election. Then they thought spine because it 68 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: added to the gravity, it added to the seriousness of 69 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: the charges. Right then they thought, oh, absolutely, we'll use 70 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: the term spying. But now that we know that there 71 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: was no crime, now that we know that Trump was 72 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: the guy that they set up, And I like the 73 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: word spy because of the connotation, because, oh, spying is serious. 74 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: Oh yes, spying is very serious. And that's why this, 75 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: I think sent a shiver up some spines, not just 76 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill today, but here in the center of 77 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: the swamp where some of the federal bureaucracies like the 78 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, like the FBI are located. When Barr, 79 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: when asked about this said quote, many people seem to 80 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: assume the only intelligence collection that occurred was a single 81 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: confidential informant and a fis a warrant. I'd like to 82 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: find out if that is in fact true. What if 83 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: the spying was even more extreme, more wide ranging, more 84 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: intrusive than we have been led to believe. You and 85 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: I both know that is almost certainly the case. Does 86 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: anyone really think that there'll be some justification for this? 87 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: Does anybody really think that there'll be information that can 88 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: be pulled together in order to make it seem like 89 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: this was legitimate, adequately predicated spying. Of course not, of 90 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: course not. So Barr is going to use the word spying. 91 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: He is going to find out the extent of the 92 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: spying against Trump and his campaign and his associates. He's 93 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: not going to apologize for this nonsense, sniveling, sanctimonious letter 94 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: that was clearly dropped by Mueller the night before this 95 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: hearing in order to make things more difficult for Bar. 96 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: He's not going to back away and say, yeah, I 97 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: was supposed what he's supposed to dance to Muther's tune 98 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: on the release of this information. Who's the Attorney General? 99 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 1: Mueller or Barr? Who's been confirmed by the Senate Mueller? 100 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: Or are is Mueller all of a sudden the Senior 101 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Justice Department? Is he the attorney General? I just I 102 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 1: would like some clarity on that from all the people 103 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: saying that, well, you know, Barr didn't do things exactly 104 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: as Muller would have wanted with the release. All that 105 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: the all the Special Counsel has for his mandate in 106 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: terms of the process is handing the report. That's it. 107 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: That's what he gets to do. Barr then gets to 108 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: determine whether it gets released at all, how much of 109 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: it gets released, and he invited Muller to be a 110 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: part of that process. He invited Muller to do what 111 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: he could to make sure that they were all on 112 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: board Mullard. Mullard said, no, Smuller's a little hack known 113 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: this all along. Muller is the part is And these 114 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: are terms you'll hear apply to Bar, but they're actually 115 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: projecting Smuller. They knew exactly who they were getting. They 116 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: knew exactly Komey's buddy. Anyone who's buddies with Komey is suspect, 117 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: by the way, And I really mean that mccomi is 118 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: a weirdo, a sanctimonious weirdo. And then there's another thing 119 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: that might have gotten a bit of attention today. It 120 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: might have gotten some people all of a sudden focused 121 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: on this. There are active leak investigations going on. Attorney 122 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: General bar confirmed that multiple leaks or investigations into leaks 123 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 1: of classified information. I think that there's a new sheriff 124 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: in town and his name is Bill Barr. And Democrats 125 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: don't realize what they're really in for. When this Inspector 126 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: General report comes out, when we have more information about 127 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: what happened here, we're going to see. In my this 128 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: is my prediction, we're going to see that the Obama 129 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: administration not only refused to tell Trump about the alleged 130 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: Russian penetration of efforts into his campaign, which is a 131 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: huge red flag, but was complicit all along trying to 132 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: destroy the Trump campaign and use the intelligence community and 133 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: and FISA and the FBI to do it object disgrace, 134 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: the dirtiest of politics from the Democrats. No surprise, We've 135 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: got more coming up. Stay with me. My question was 136 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: why did you say you were not aware of concerns 137 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: when weeks before your testimony, mister Muller and expressed concerns too. 138 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: That's a fairly simple, Well, I answered a question, and 139 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: the question was relating to unidentified members who were expressing 140 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: frustration over the accuracy relating to findings. I don't know 141 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: what that refers to at all. I talked directly to 142 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: Bob Muller, not members of his team. Bar was a 143 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: boss today on Capitol Hill. It was just the Varsity 144 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: against the jv today. It was a guy who why 145 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: he's there, knows what he's doing, knows the law, against 146 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: a bunch of just little, a little quizzling leftist political hacks. 147 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: The Democrats trying to undermine this man, catch him in something, 148 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: show him up, make him look bad. That's all this 149 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: is about. They know they're not going to get anything real, 150 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: they know they're not going to be able to unearth 151 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: something that all of a sudden will change the narrative here. 152 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: They're just looking to take shots at him. They're just 153 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: looking to try to get him in a moment where 154 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: he looks bad. And it didn't happen at all. Democrats 155 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: look pathetic today, pathetic going after him and this whole 156 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: thing with Muller's letter, which as we know, Oh why 157 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: was the Mueller letter released last night? How did this happen? Folks? Oh? 158 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: Is does anyone want to claim this is a coincidence? 159 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: Is anybody that's stupid to think, well, Mazie Horono. Is 160 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: that stupid? We'll talk about her later. Is anybody other 161 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: than maze Horrono? That's stupid that they would think that 162 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: this wasn't leaked to maximize the embarrassment to the Attorney 163 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: General right before he goes on Capitol Hill, and keep on. 164 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,479 Speaker 1: He shouldn't be embarrassed at all. Mueller should be embarrassed. 165 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: Muller is a little prima donna, a whiny, little self righteous, 166 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: sanctimonious bureaucrat. Happens to a lot of people. It's been 167 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: decades working for the federal bureaucracy. I'm just telling you 168 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: it happens to a lot of them. They might start 169 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: off as just good, honorable patriots, and there are a 170 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: lot of good and honorable patriots in the federal bureaucracy still. 171 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: But the people that rise up the ranks and they 172 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: become institutionalist. First, the bureau becomes a single most important 173 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: thing in the government, not the will of the American people, 174 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: not the rule of law. The institutionalists, as we know, 175 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: hate Trump. They have a seething, a seething rage toward 176 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. And I think Muller 177 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: is in that category too. Mueller thinks that these institutions 178 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: he served all of his life are so important and 179 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Trump Trump says mean things about them, and Trump therefore 180 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: is a threat. This letter leaked. I thought Mueller didn't 181 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: leak everybody. I thought Muller was just a tight ship. 182 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: Oh you mean that he plays political games. You mean 183 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: that this is the usual Potomac two step, the Potomac 184 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: two step check. You'll keep this card in your pocket, 185 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: and one day you'll need a favor. See who gets 186 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: that reference. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Movie quotes when 187 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: you don't expect them. I agree with the Newt new 188 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: to Loot agree with Newt on the letter league here 189 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: play twelve. I assume somebody wanted to leak it to 190 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: maximize the embarrassment to bar and to set up the 191 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: questions for the hearings in the next two days. You know, look, 192 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: the deep state in Washington has played these games for 193 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: the whole history of the country. This is not something 194 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: new Muller could at any point have decided he wanted 195 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: to refute it. And as I understand the actual key sentences, 196 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: the distortion is by the news media. Yeah, Mueller's upset 197 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: because the media didn't pick up the narrative that he 198 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: wanted them to. That's not his job. That's not the 199 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: thing that he was assigned to do. That's not his call. 200 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: That would be like Mueller calling up to complain about 201 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: the content the Bucks extent show. Sorry, Mueller special counsel 202 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: doesn't get to make that decision. I do Mueller's whininess here, though, 203 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad this has been exposed. I'm glad that he 204 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: was snitty, a very good word to use from the 205 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: Attorney general here. I'm glad that that has been aired 206 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: out for the American people so that we know who 207 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: we were really dealing with all along. Mueller was a headhunter. 208 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: Mueller was going for scalps from this administration. That was 209 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: the purpose that he set himself to, not justice, not 210 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: the sanctity of our democracy. Crap, total crap. And now 211 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: they realize they have a formidable adversary, an adversary who 212 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: does stand for justice, who does stand for sanity, common sense, 213 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: respect for the rule of law, an attorney general Bar 214 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: And that's why they spent so much of today just 215 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: trying to find some way to make Bar look bad. 216 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: But even slimy Sydney Bloomenthal, of course went after bar 217 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: and here's how that went for in place seventeen. Recall 218 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: about whether you gave information to somebody in the White 219 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: House about an ongoing criminal investigation in the Southern District, 220 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: New York, or the Eastern District, New York, or the 221 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: Eastern District of Virginia, or the Department of Justice. Yeah, 222 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't recall providing any substantive information 223 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: about a case. Is there anything that would refresh your 224 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: recollection if I probably looked over a list of cases 225 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: and thought about it, But I don't recall. You know 226 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: what those investigations are. We've discussed them at your confirmation 227 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: here in correct. I think you're twelve or eighteen cases, right. 228 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: You don't know what those investigations are, right generally, But 229 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: I know I can't remember each of them. Let me 230 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: ask you one last time. You can't recall whether you 231 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: have discussed those cases with anyone in the White House, 232 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: including the President United States. My recollection is I have 233 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: not discussed those that you don't recall for sure, I 234 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: can say very surely I did not discuss the substance 235 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: of it. Will you recuse yourself from those investigations. No, yes, 236 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: there it is no shut up Blumenthalia clown. I love 237 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: this guy. Man is badgering him. He's you know or 238 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: did you you know they's talking about over a dozen cases. 239 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: Did you ever mention any of this to the president? Ever? 240 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: And he's like, I mean not in substance, but you know, 241 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm an attorney general. You know your clowney Andy, 242 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, Blumenthal thinks he's got him. Or will you 243 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: recuse yourself? Oh you mean, will I Jeff Sessions myself? No, 244 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: boom mic drop, deal with it. That's what they're up 245 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: against now with Barr. They think that this is gonna 246 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: be Jeff Sessions two or they're hoping it'll be Jeff 247 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: Sessions two point zero. You know, they can scare him 248 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: into recusing himself and not standing up for the rule 249 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: of law because in this instance, my friends, when you're 250 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: talking about the Russia collusion fiasco, this this conspiracy theory 251 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: made into a massive federal investigation to take down a president. 252 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: That's what happened here. And when you're looking at that 253 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: and you talk about somebody who is defending the rule 254 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: of law, defending justice and the resumption of innocence and 255 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: the integrity of the legal process we have. When you're 256 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: talking about someone who does those things, they are by 257 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: definition on the side of President Trump in this case. 258 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: You cannot stand for justice in this whole mess. You 259 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: cannot stand for the rule of law and not seem 260 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: to be defending President Trump because President Trump is the 261 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: wronged party here. And that's what the Democrats and their 262 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: little media allies can't seem to wrap their very tiny 263 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 1: brains around that. The reason that Barr looks so wrong 264 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: to them and evil and bad and all this stuff 265 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: is because by standing for rationality and reason and truth 266 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: and fairness, he inherently seems like he's doing Trump's bidding 267 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: to them, because all they have done is pervert those things, 268 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: to undermine the process, to weaponize the intelligence community in 269 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: the DOJ in an effort to get Trump. So anyone 270 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: who stands in the way of their weaponization to them 271 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: looks like the president's lackey. But in reality, the person 272 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: who is standing in their way is doing what any 273 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: attorney general should do. Because the Democrats have lost their 274 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: minds and have abandoned any sense of fairness or decency 275 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: in this process because they are that psychotically devoted to 276 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: the destruction of President Trump. Maybe, look, we're almost at 277 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: the end of the first term here. It's all been fine, 278 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: meaning that the Trump presidency has worked out really well. 279 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: It's been a good presidency. Hasn't been perfect, hasn't delivered 280 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: all of his promises. We talk about that a lot, 281 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to talk about that, but it's been good. 282 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: It's done a good job. It's way better than Hillary 283 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: would have been. Economy strong, country feels like it's run 284 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: by somebody that has a normal sense of what normal 285 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: human beings want, and the left just hates him for it. 286 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: They just hate him. I mean all of this. They 287 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: can dress it up in whatever language they want, they 288 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: can try and make it seem like it's something else, 289 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: but they hate Trump. And because Bar is an obstacle 290 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: to their pathological Trump hatred, now they hate bar too. 291 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: And I just love Bars. No, I'm not gonna recuse myself. Please. 292 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: He's too slick, he's too smart, he's too ethical, he's 293 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: too honest for them, and they hate him because of it. 294 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: Man A bar Bar did a great job today, and 295 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: it is a reminder that you know, Trump hasn't always 296 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: had the best people. But with this guy, he's got 297 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: the best people. When it comes to the Attorney General, 298 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: that's for sure. We'll be right back. Remember when the 299 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: left called the Green New Deal bold, or how about 300 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: their bold defensive anti semitism in the House. I think 301 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: they're mistaking bold for something else, because the way I 302 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: define bold is the taste of freedom I get every 303 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: morning with my Black Rifle Coffee.

He missed characterised the 319 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: Mulla report. He should resign, and the interests of the 320 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: department should step down. Dale Bar really should resign. The 321 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: bar summary as misleading as this, allowing the White House 322 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: to create this false narrative and misleads American people again, 323 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: and then he does a press conference misleading American people. 324 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: He should have never been confirmed and certainly not confirmed 325 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: unless he committed to recusing himself from an investigation in 326 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: which he had an obvious bias, went to Congress and 327 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: lied and misrepresented Robert Muller's own viewpoints. Did the Attorney 328 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: General lie to Congress? I think his statement is deliberately 329 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: false and misleading, And yes, most people would consider that 330 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: to be a lie. Lies, lies, lies, misrepresentation. Oh, he's 331 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: so bad, he's so terrible. They never give you any specifics. 332 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: They never tell you what did he lie about, what 333 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: did he misrepresent? What did he say that was untrue? 334 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: They've got nothing, They've got absolutely nothing, and they cling 335 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: to this though, I mean, this is the central narrative. 336 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: Undermine Bar, attack Bar because on the merits, not only 337 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: is Bar beyond any reasonable criticism with anything he's done, 338 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: but the overall story here does not change. There were 339 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: no charges against the President United States about collusion or 340 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: about obstruction. Didn't happen. Muller report. Muller took his best 341 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: shot at Trump and it wasn't enough because it wasn't there. 342 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: They don't have it. So now they're attacking Bar and 343 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: they're freaking out. Oh but they did take a moment 344 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: to stop and attack Lindsey Graham on this thing, too, placlabate. 345 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: You have to have specific intent to obstruct justice if 346 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: there's no underlying reluctant to do this. We rarely do. 347 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: But the chairman of the Judiciary Committee just said that 348 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: Muller found there was no collusion. That is not correct. 349 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Lindsey Graham, but your defensiveness is showing. To 350 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: talk about everything that went into it and the next 351 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: breath is storted is a stunning, stunning mischaracterization of what 352 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: the whole exercise is, especially about reveals what I talked 353 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: about before, that he's sitting there today not as the 354 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: chairman of the Judiciary Committee, but as a human shield 355 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump, and it would appear again we try 356 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: to offer just a gavel to gavel coverage. But that phrase, 357 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: or the lack of it, it's absence from federal code. 358 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: This no collusion mantra. This is so important. I mean, 359 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: Brian Williams is not a smart guy. He's an actor. 360 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: He's an actor playing a smart news anchor on TV, 361 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: and he's a decent actor. But also he's a fabricator. 362 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: He got so used to playing other, playing somebody else 363 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: on TV that he actually thought he was somebody else 364 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: and you know, there he was killing Bin Laden with 365 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: Seal Team six and oh wait, no he wasn't. But 366 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: this attack on bar an attack on anybody who And 367 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham in this case, for saying no collusion, as 368 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: though we're the ones, as though it's the folks that 369 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: believed all along that Trump was being set up as 370 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: he was, that this is an ambush, as it was, 371 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: we're the problem here. They were the ones that insisted 372 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: on this term collusion. They were the ones that kept 373 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: on accusing the President of Russia. Collusion became shorthand for 374 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: working with the Russians to cheat in the election. Now, 375 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: I've said on this show many times that they are 376 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: intentionally avoiding the term conspiracy so that when the time 377 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: comes and here we are, when there are no criminal 378 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: charges because there was no conspiracy, they will say, well, 379 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: but collusion is the collusion is a willingness to work 380 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: with somebody else, or collusion is whatever they say it is. 381 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: This takes us back to how democrats and leftists want 382 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: to pick the words we have to use, want to 383 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: choose our language in these debates. For us, they chose 384 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: collusion very intentionally, and now we see why they made 385 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: us use the word collusion. And now they go, ha ha, 386 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: there's there's no real crime. Although there is collusion when 387 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: it comes to companies and price fixing that can be 388 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: but you know, haha, there's no collusion. Why are they're 389 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: saying there's no collusion because it's not really a thing. Well, 390 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: they're the ones that insisted on this. That was the narrative. 391 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: The narrative was collusion. It's not the Russia Trump conspiracy. 392 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: It was Russia Trump collusion for two years. And now 393 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: they act like it's on us. And now they put 394 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: people like Maxine Waters forward, who you know, just all 395 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: she does is yell about how everybody should be impeached 396 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: all the time. Who casts a vote for Maxine Waters 397 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: and feels good about themselves for doing it? I just 398 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: I really am curious. I mean, we're gonna talk about 399 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: Mazie Horono come up in a moment. Maizie Horono is 400 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: the dumbest person in the entire United States Congress. Maxine 401 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: Water is pretty close, though. Maxine Waters gives her some 402 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: some real competition. And look, there are a lot of 403 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: very dumb members of Congress, but Maxie Waters right up there, 404 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: and she's taking this opportunity Capitol Hill, grandstanding today, a 405 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: lot of cameras everywhere to say that not all I mean, 406 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, she's the one who says, you know, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. 407 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: President Trump should impeached. Oh it's not just President Trump 408 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: who should be impeached for what? Who knows, who cares, 409 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter, Just impeach you, that's her position. But 410 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: that Bill Barr himself should be impeached and removed from 411 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: office play clib six. I think that Barr should resign, 412 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: and if he does not resign, he should be facing 413 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: impeachment proceedings. Also, he has abdicated on his responsibility. He 414 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: has lied, He has used the very words coming right 415 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: out of the president's mouth, no collusion, no collusion, no collusion, 416 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: and made a decision that despite what the Special Counsel 417 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: put into that report about a ruction of justice, he said, 418 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: he made the decision that he had not obstructive justice. 419 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: It is outrageous and he needs to go. What did 420 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: he lie about? Can they just tell me how, bar Lie? 421 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: Just once, just once, I'd like to know, what do 422 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: you lie about? There is no collusion, folks, Okay, there 423 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: is no crime of working with the Russians to the election. 424 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: It didn't it didn't happen. So what are we talking 425 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: about now? That the tortured logic and the violence done 426 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: to language that Democrats are engaging in here just goes 427 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: to show you there's no intellectual honesty, no decency, or 428 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: integrity that they approach this issue with at all. It's 429 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: just all politics, pure and simple. Who is the dumbest 430 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: member of Congress. It's a tough competition. There are some 431 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: real doozies. I mean there are some. There are some 432 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: straight up dumb asses in Congress. Let's be honest about it, folks. 433 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: We're friends. We can talk about this, right, we don't 434 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: have to hold back. There are some dumb asses. I 435 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: don't know what it is about a beautiful, incredible state 436 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: like Hawaii that the people of Hawaii can't do better 437 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: than than Mazie Harrono. But I would offer you you 438 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: that she edges out, she edges out the the the 439 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: dumbest members of Congress just a little bit. She's number one. 440 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: I think she's number one. She is a level of 441 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: stupidity that should never be in a position of authority. 442 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: And the fact that she's in the not just the 443 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: in the in the Congress, that she's a senator. She's 444 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: not just one of the hundreds of members of the House, 445 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: but she's one of the one hundred US senators. Hawaii, 446 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: I love you. Your state's amazing, It's gorgeous. I probably 447 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: want to live there. But what are you doing with 448 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: Mazie Harona? Come on, I know those you listen to 449 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: the show like Buck, I didn't vote for her, but still, 450 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: come on, Hawaii, get your game together. I mean, this 451 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: is what manager Harona was saying today too. Just further embarrassed. 452 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna do a little bit of an 453 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: amazing session. Here. Here's what she said to bar Policlip fourteen. 454 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: You called a press conference to once again try to 455 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: clear Donald Trump before anyone had a chance to read 456 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: the Special Consol's report and come to their own conclusions. 457 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 1: But when we read the report, we knew Robert Mueller's 458 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: concerns were valid and that your version of events was false. 459 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: You used every advantage of your office to create the 460 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: impression that the President was cleared of misconduct. You selectively 461 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: quoted fragments from the Special Consol's report, taking some of 462 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: the most important statements out of context and ignoring the rest. 463 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: You put the power and authority of the Office of 464 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: the Attorney General and the Department of Justice behind a 465 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: public relations effort. She's a clown and a moron, and 466 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: she's debasing her office with this statement that you'll note 467 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: has has no substance to a substance to it whatsoever. 468 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: He tried to clear Trump by releasing the entire report, 469 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: which he did not have to do. He could have 470 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: kept the entire reports secret, would have been completely He 471 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: would have been completely within his power and authorities. Attorney 472 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,239 Speaker 1: generals say, Nope, the report's not going public, thank you. 473 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: He released the whole thing with what less than five 474 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: percent of it redacted. Oh and as to the redacted report, 475 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: what two members of two Democrats in the Congress have 476 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: actually read it. It's like they didn't even take the time. 477 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: They didn't even care because they know there's nothing. There's 478 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: nothing in those redactions that'll change anything. This is just 479 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: all political theater for them. This is for the Democrats, 480 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: this is an opportunity to try to score cheap points. 481 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: And that's what she was doing there. She said Muller quote, 482 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: Muller's concerns were valid, and your version of events was false. 483 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: It was false. That's interesting because Muller never claimed that 484 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: anything that the General Barr said was incorrect or untrue. 485 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: Producer might just told me zero zero goose egg, not 486 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: a zilch. Democrats have read the unredacted MULA report. Two 487 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: Republicans have. They care so much about it that they 488 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: don't care at all. I guess the Democrats, um, you know, 489 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: they're they're not going to look into those secret sections 490 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: because there's nothing in those secret sections to help their case. 491 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: But Mazie Horrono says that the version of events that 492 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: bar presented was false.

How about that version of events was false? 495 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: Bill Barr is a top mind. Mazie Horrono, I think 496 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: would have would have difficulty trying to, you know, order 497 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: off a menu with numbers off of it if her 498 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: staff didn't put it in front of her. And here 499 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: we are listening to her trash this man, trash him, 500 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: trash his integrity. What a joke, an unfunny one at that. 501 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: Bill Barr is like my legal spirit animal up there. Man, 502 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: He's just answering all their questions. Knows this stuff backwards 503 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: and forwards, and they're so seething men. They wish they 504 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: had ab Jeff Sessions. I'm not gonna addsway headed questions today. 505 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: You know they like that, They like dealing with Sessions. 506 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: I don't mean to be mean about the guy, but 507 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: you know they don't like dealing with Barry. This guy 508 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: was ready and then some for this man. The Trump 509 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: administration is lucky to have him in this role. But 510 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: heron no, not enough for her to go out from 511 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: one time decide that she needs to try to score 512 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: more cheap political points. Play fifteen. You are no different 513 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: from Rudy Giuliani or kellyank Hanway or any of the 514 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: other people who sacrifice their once decent reputation for the 515 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: grifter and lawyer who sits in the oble office. You 516 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: once turned down a job offer from Donald Trump to 517 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: represent him as his private attorney. At your confirmation hearing, 518 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: you told Senator Feinstein that, quote the job of attorney 519 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: general is not the same as representing and quote the president. 520 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: So you know the difference. But you've chosen to be 521 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: the president's lawyer and aside with him over the interests 522 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: of the American people. To start with, you should never 523 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: have been involved in supervising the Robert Mueller investigation. You 524 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: wrote a nineteen page unsolicited memo which you admit was 525 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: not based on any facts, attacking the premise of half 526 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: of the investigation. And you also should have insisted that 527 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein recused himself. He wasn't just 528 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: a witness to some of the President's obstructive behavior. We 529 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: now know he was in frequent personal contact with the president. 530 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: A subject of the investigation. You should have left it 531 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: two career officials. Rosenstein is a career official, you moron. 532 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: Herono is an idiot, an idiot, and she's speaking to 533 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: a better person, a more honorable, smarter, better person, and 534 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: trying to tear him down because her constituents, the people 535 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: that vote for Maisie Herono, are a bunch of loons 536 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: who still believe that the president United States should be prosecuted, 537 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: should be out of office, duced down. There a bunch 538 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: of babies, a bunch of babies. You lost. Hillary was horrible. Hello, 539 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: Hillary was a travesty of a candidate. Deal with it. Instead, 540 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: what they try to do, find some way to justify 541 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: the loss, to try to come up with a way 542 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: to undermine the victory of the president. You know, justify 543 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: that that this didn't really happen. You see it. He cheated, 544 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: he cheated. They say, oh, yeah, sure he did. What 545 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: are they gonna say the next time around? Man, I 546 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: just I just hope Trump cleans whatever whatever silly COMI 547 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats put up for their you know, their next candidate. 548 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: Oh Trump just cleans his or her clock, I really do. 549 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: I hope he just runs the table like like Reagan 550 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: in his second term. Just uh, it would be amazing, 551 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Look, here's here's how you know that heronos 552 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: a joke. She's saying that that Rosenstein, Rosenstein. You know 553 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: he's a problem now. But but if if before Barr 554 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: came along, they had replaced Rosenstein or they had moved 555 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: him aside, guess what that would have been catastrophic anyone 556 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: who did not try to take down the president. And 557 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: I think Rosenstein wanted to. He was gonna wear a wire. 558 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: But because he didn't succeed, he's unaccepted to them. Just 559 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: just one more. They mean. Herono is so insane that 560 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: she actually goes to the point of telling telling bar 561 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: that he needs to play Clip twenty one. You got 562 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: to hear this. But now we know more about your 563 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: deep involvement and trying to cover up for Donald Trump. 564 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: Being Attorney General of the United States is a sacred trust. 565 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: You have betrayed that trust. America deserves better. You should resign. 566 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: I have some questions for you, dumbest human being in 567 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: the United States Congress. It's Mazie Herono. She wins first prize, 568 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 1: number one, top of the top of the chart. Baby 569 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: going double platinum. Stupid Mazie Herono should resign. Sky was 570 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: Attorney General under a different administration. He's work in the 571 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: Office of Legal Counsel, which is the absolute best of 572 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: the best the DJ has and he's going to resign. 573 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: Why what did he do? Because she doesn't like him, 574 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 1: because he's being them, He's beating the Democrats. He's smarter 575 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: than they are. He knows the system better than they do. 576 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: They don't like it. They've gotten used to some novices 577 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: that Trump has put in positions that honestly weren't very 578 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: weren't very wise. Bill Barr's not in that category at all. 579 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: They don't know how to handle him. So what do 580 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: they do? They attack like the little slimy cowards they 581 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: are calling into question Bill Barr's heronor should be ashamed 582 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: of herself, But she's too stupid to know that she 583 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: should be ashamed. I offered Bob Mueller the opportunity to 584 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: review that letter before it went out, and he declined. 585 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: On Thursday morning, I received a letter from Bob, the 586 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: letter that's just been put into the record, and I 587 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: called Bob and said, you know, what's the issue? Here? 588 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: Are you? And I asked him if he was suggesting 589 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: that the March twenty fourth letter was inaccurate, and he 590 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: said no, but that the press reporting had been inaccurate 591 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: and that the press was reading too much into it. 592 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: And I asked him, you know, specifically, what his concern was, 593 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: and he said that his concern focused on his explanation 594 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: of why he did not reach a conclusion on obstruction, 595 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: and he wanted more put out on that issue. But 596 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: he was very clear with me that he was not 597 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: suggesting that we had misrepresented his report. There you have 598 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: the Attorney General explaining this really quite strange circumstance of 599 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: the special Counsel, Bob Muller complaining but not really complaining, 600 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: not really clear what he wanted. What is going on here, folks? 601 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: We got Andy McCarthy in the house to answer this 602 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: in a whole lot more. Annie McCarthy Course of National View, 603 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: also a Fox News contributor and a former assistant US 604 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: Attorney for the Southern District of New York for a 605 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: couple of decades. Andy, Great to have you, that's great 606 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: to be with you. What do you make of this? Look, 607 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about today from the 608 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: hearing and bar and what comes next. But first on 609 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: this Muller, as as Bar called that kind of snitty email, 610 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: What the heck is a special counsel doing here? Andy? 611 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: To me, it looks like Muller's just being kind of 612 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: a whiny little punk, you know. I think worse even 613 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: than the letter buck is the fact that they leaked 614 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: at the night before what they had to know was 615 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: going to be very combative, difficult testimony today in the 616 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,359 Speaker 1: Senate and tomorrow in the House. So, you know, for 617 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: those people who aren't in the kind of business that 618 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: we used to be in in law enforcement and intelligence, 619 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,919 Speaker 1: when you're getting people suited up to testify the next 620 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: day and somebody drops a stink bomb in the middle 621 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: of your your prep like that, it is a It's 622 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: not a good experience. So I think it's really an 623 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: excusable thing to do. It. Also, I think brings to 624 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: the floor something that we've talked about before, and that 625 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: is that it looks like we have a difference in 626 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: philosophy of what a prosecutor's supposed to do and what 627 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: a prosecutor's job is. Mallar, I think I'm surprised to 628 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: see seems to be of a view that a prosecutor's 629 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: job is to script a narrative and pepper it with 630 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: the occasional process crime indictment. And Barr is kind of 631 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: old school and thinks the prosecutor's job is to decide 632 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: is there enough evidence to charge or is there not? 633 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: And if there's not, you're supposed to shut up. That's 634 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: you know, when I was a prosecutor for twenty years, 635 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: that that was the way I always heard it. But 636 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: what is Maller's objection? This is what you know? It's 637 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: not that it's inaccurate, right, so that that there's nothing 638 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: there's no point of fact that Bob Barr, Bill Barr. 639 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: I gotta make sure I don't do that that Bill 640 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: Barr got wrong. Well, then what is Muller talking about? 641 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: What is this? Oh? That the context and this and 642 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: that that didn't feel like it's so right? I mean, 643 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: is Muller you know, it sounds like he feels like 644 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: he didn't get a fair shot doing an open call 645 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: for like an acting part or something. I mean, it 646 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: just seems like, what are you talking about, dude? Yeah, Well, 647 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: that's precisely it. What he consumed himself with, and I 648 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: think what his staff was consumed with was writing a 649 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: narrative about collusion and obstruction that the press could pick 650 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: up on, and perhaps leaving a trail with a narrative 651 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: that Congress might be able to pick up on and 652 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: impeach the president with. What they were not content to do, 653 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: which is what they were there for, is the job 654 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: of prosecutors, which is, you know, was there enough evidence 655 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: to charge or was there not? And what I thought 656 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 1: buck was the most amazing and presumptuous thing about all 657 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: of this is that Muller did not do the job 658 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: he was retained to do. This basically came to him 659 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: mainly as an obstruction case. He was brought on the 660 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: week that the FBI opened an obstruction investigation and the 661 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: president had fired Komey. It was pretty clear already by 662 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: then that there was no there there on collusion. So 663 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: this was teed up for Muller when he took the 664 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: case as an obstruction case, and the only thing we 665 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: arguably needed him for. I don't think we needed a 666 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: special counsel, but for those who did, really the main 667 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: question for him to answer was was there enough evidence 668 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: to charge on obstruction or was there not? He wouldn't 669 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: do the job that he was retained to do. He 670 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: got criticized in the press, so that when it was 671 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: found out that he hadn't made a decision, that's what 672 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 1: got him all in a snit, you know, the fact 673 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: that he was being criticized in the media for not 674 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: making the one decision that he was needed to make. 675 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: And then what he wants to do Buck is tell 676 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: everybody else how to do their job. So I always 677 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: it always drives me nuts with people who don't do 678 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: their own job to then tell the Attorney General how 679 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: he's supposed to handle the responsibilities that are actually imposed 680 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: on him, not on the special Council in the regulations. 681 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: As Barr said today, once Muller turned in his report, 682 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: he's done, and it's up to the Attorney General to 683 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: decide whether the report gets released, how much of the 684 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: report gets released, and the form that that release takes. 685 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: And it's amazing to see Barr get criticized the way 686 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: he has been, when in point of fact, usually when 687 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: somebody doesn't get charged, the public and the Congress don't 688 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: get any information. And here Bar basically bent the rules 689 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: to put out what I think is like something like 690 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: ninety five of a four hundred and forty eight page 691 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: report against somebody who wasn't charged, right. I mean the objection, 692 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 1: and this came up a lot today in the hearing. 693 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: The objection is about what bar has done just seemed 694 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: to be just un serious. I mean, this idea that 695 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: he two weeks before he released all the information, he 696 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: didn't do what Mueller wanted him to do. It's not 697 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: Mueller's call, and there's nothing he'd be right, I'm as 698 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: far as Mueller's concerned. What the regulations provide is that 699 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,240 Speaker 1: the special Counsel gives a confidential report to the Attorney General, 700 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: and then the special counsel is done. The special Council 701 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: is aligne prosecutor, you know, And what I mean by 702 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: that is an inferior officer or a subordinate official in 703 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,800 Speaker 1: the executive branch. He doesn't get to tell the Attorney 704 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: General what to do, and the and the regulations make 705 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: clear that it's up to the Attorney General to decide what, 706 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: if any of the report gets put out and how 707 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: much of it. So, you know, I just think that, 708 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: as you say, a lot of this is much ado 709 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: about nothing, especially when we now have the report and 710 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: we can read it for ourselves and what's the any 711 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 1: I saw you were speaking to Anni McCarthy, everybody Fox 712 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: News and National Review. You're heard of Muller as a diva, 713 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: which I appreciated by the way that I got a 714 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 1: chuckle out of that one. But I think I see 715 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: where you're going with it. And you know, what does 716 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 1: this tell us about Mueller overall? I mean that he's 717 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: that he's writting this snitty letter that I think is 718 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: is just kind of intellectually indefensible about how the media know? 719 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: Why is he so concerned with the media coverage of this? 720 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: I thought Muller was the steely eyed professional, no politics here, 721 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: just the facts, ma'am. I mean all that stuff that 722 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: seems like a joke to me now, Andy, I mean 723 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: it has for quite some time. But I feel like, well, 724 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: you know, what do you take from what Muller has 725 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: done here and what should we take in terms of 726 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 1: who is really running this investigation against the president? Well, 727 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: I think it's the tactics of somebody who, Let's put 728 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: it this way, when Roger Stone was arrested, they sent 729 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: so many law enforcement vehicles to arrest this, uh, you know, 730 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: nearly seventy year old man in his bathrobe that CNN 731 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: almost couldn't find any place to park. You know, I mean, 732 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: this is this is this is a game that's been 733 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: played from the beginning. And what I have complained about 734 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: from the beginning is that the entire exercise was designed 735 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: to craft a narrative, not to bring charges. So for example, 736 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: if you look at the George Papadopolis case, uh, you 737 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: know what that should have been was a half a paragraph, 738 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: you know, honor, about such and such a date he 739 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: told a lie to the FBI to wit and then 740 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,479 Speaker 1: you know that he should about the time of the meeting, 741 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: you cite the statute in and you're done. Instead, he 742 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: accompanies that with a fourteen page narrative statement that has 743 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: a lot of it's almost collusion. It feels like collusion. 744 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,359 Speaker 1: Lots of Russians around, who knows what's going on here? 745 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 1: And then you flip to the end and it's a 746 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: process crime. And he did the same thing of Stone, 747 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: and he did the same thing with Mike Flynn. All 748 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: of it has been about a long narrative, most of 749 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: which buck. If these cases were actually tried in court, 750 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: the court would have struck most of his factual recitations 751 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: as surplusage because they didn't have anything to do with 752 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 1: the charges that were brought, or they barely had anything 753 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: to do. So the whole exercise that we had seen 754 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: up until the time we saw his report was all 755 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: about telling this grand narrative at peppered occasionally with some 756 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: teeny tiny process charges. And why anybody thought his four 757 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight page report was going to be 758 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: any different from the way he had handled these indictments 759 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: when it was the same people doing the same thing, 760 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: writing the same charges, is beyond me. So he simply 761 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 1: did a bigger version in the report of what he 762 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: did all along, which was he tended to the narratives 763 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: and there was very little reason to have a prosecutor here. 764 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: And I just we're going to go to a quick 765 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: break everybody, but we'll bring Andy backing the side of 766 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 1: Andy real quick. The thing that the left and the 767 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: Democrats have really latched onto here is, oh, well, well 768 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: he couldn't bring charges against the president. Well then what 769 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: was all of this really You know, first of all, 770 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: is that even really true in a sense that couldn't 771 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 1: he have written we would we recommend charges and leave 772 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: it up to the OLC And the Department of Justice, 773 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 1: whether or not they act on that. I mean, is 774 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: there anything stopping him from writing that in his report. No, 775 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,240 Speaker 1: that's exactly what would happened. But if he was taking 776 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 1: the position that there was no reason for me to 777 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: recommend charges because there's Office of Legal Counsel at the 778 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: Justice Department guidance that says a sitting president can't be charged, 779 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: then why did he take the case at all. He 780 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 1: should have just handed the investigative file back and said, 781 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: there's nothing for me to do here because the president 782 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: can't be charged. But that's not how it works. First 783 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: of all, the rule is not that the prosecute that 784 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: the president can never be charged. He can't be charged 785 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: while he is in office. So you still have to 786 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: do the investigation, and you still have to determine whether 787 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 1: the charges can be filed or not. The guidance is 788 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: not a reason not to do the investigation. And the 789 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: decision he was called on to make was not the 790 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: application of the OLC guidance. The decision he was called 791 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: to make was was there enough evidence to charge or 792 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: was there not. If he decided that there was enough 793 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: evidence to charge, then it would be up to the 794 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: Justice Department to decide whether to invoke the guidance and 795 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: direct the prosecute and not to return the charges. But 796 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: the case still has to be investigated. And again, it's 797 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,839 Speaker 1: not that the president can never be charged, it's just 798 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: that he can't be charged while he's in office. So 799 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 1: the investigation still has to be done. It was on 800 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: Mueller to do it, and he's trying to make up 801 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: excuses for why he didn't do what he was retained 802 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: to do. Is there any you know what? We're going 803 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: to come back with Annie McCarthy, your Natural Review and 804 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: Fox News contributor, Annie McCarthy, the man you want to 805 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 1: hear from all this stuff. We're going to come back 806 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 1: in just a moment. Team stay with me or We're 807 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 1: back with Annie McCarthy of National Review and and Fox 808 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: News contributor and somebody who's really been critical. His voice 809 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: has been critical on this issue, not just because the 810 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 1: President says so, it's been true. Andy, the is there 811 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,720 Speaker 1: a we're talking about ulla right before we're in a break. 812 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,799 Speaker 1: Is there a good faith defense of Mueller's hole? You know, 813 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 1: we were kind of maybe thinking charges, but then didn't 814 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: do charges because there's a bunch of reasons but the 815 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: main reason is the Office of Legal Counsel the deal. 816 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: Jay says, we couldn't charge him. Is there a good 817 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 1: faith argument that I'm missing or is this just smearing 818 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: the president? Basically, no, it's not. It's not a good 819 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: faith There is no good faith argument. I mean, here, well, 820 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: let me tease out what I think is the only 821 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: relevant piece of this buck. And I still don't think 822 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: it does the trick. But let's let's bend over backwards 823 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 1: and see if we can't help here, right. Um, the 824 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: idea behind the guidance is that, um, if you charge 825 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: a sitting president, it is catastrophic for the country because 826 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 1: the president has to govern under a cloud, and he's 827 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,360 Speaker 1: got to govern with these big distractions of trying to 828 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: defend himself from a criminal case. So the idea is 829 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 1: that you know, something that's serious, you know, we don't. 830 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: We don't want to burden the president with that under 831 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: the circumstances. And what he took that to mean was that, 832 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 1: in evaluating the evidence he had to bring to bear 833 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 1: with each call that he had to make the need 834 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: for having you know, absolutely serious, super duper. I'm sure 835 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 1: there's enough evidence here to charge and he was not 836 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: ready to make that call because of the hesitancy that 837 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:57,240 Speaker 1: the guidance provided him, not saying that he couldn't charge 838 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: or could charge, but that he just raised it to 839 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 1: a different specter of seriousness. I mean, the argument is 840 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,759 Speaker 1: so obtuse, it's actually difficult to articulate. And when you 841 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 1: get to the bottom line, Barr asked him, he testified, 842 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 1: and this is not the first time he's testified for this. 843 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: Barr asked him three times when they met, whether when 844 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: he told them that he was not going to make 845 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 1: a decision about obstruction. He was asked three times, is 846 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 1: that because of the OLC guidance? And he told the 847 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,879 Speaker 1: Attorney General no, according to the Attorney General testimony, So 848 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: he didn't return the charges because, however he wants to 849 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 1: dress it up, he couldn't bring himself to say that 850 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 1: there was evidence that you could prove beyond a reasonable 851 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 1: doubt that there was an obstruction crime. Here again important 852 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: to underscore here, that doesn't mean the conduct was good. 853 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that the public, in evaluating the conduct, 854 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: might come away saying, Okay, maybe not a crime, but 855 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,840 Speaker 1: this is not really what I want out of my president. 856 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: It's not no one is saying that this is not 857 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: something that, as Bar said today, we're going to have. 858 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 1: We're gonna have an election in eighteen months. And if 859 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: people look at this and they want to go yuck, I, 860 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 1: you know, no matter how good the policy is, this 861 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 1: is not the guy I want in the White House, 862 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 1: then the president is going to have to live with that. 863 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: So no one is endorsing this conduct. But the point 864 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 1: simply is a prosecutor's job is to decide, as he 865 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: put as Bar put it today, the binary choice there 866 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: is enough evidence to charge or there's not. And ordinarily, 867 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 1: if there's not enough evidence to charge, you shut up. 868 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: Because the idea is, we don't want the Justice Department 869 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 1: tanking people who are presumed innocent under the Constitution, unless 870 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: you're going to formally charge them, in which case they 871 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: get all the protections of the Constitution to defend themselves. 872 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 1: They get they get, you know, assistance to counsel, they 873 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: get the right to confront witnesses, they get a right 874 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: to put on a defense. What we don't want the 875 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,759 Speaker 1: Justice Department doing is saying, all right, we're not going 876 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 1: to charge you, and then they smear you with all 877 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: the evidence and then how do you confront that? How 878 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: do you know? What do you do in that circumstance. 879 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,399 Speaker 1: So that's the point, and he is Bill Is Bill 880 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: Barr the best guy that really Trump could have in 881 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 1: this role right now? Because I had to say, I 882 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: thought the way he handled that hearing today, they couldn't 883 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,319 Speaker 1: lay a glove on him. Yeah, I think he'd be 884 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 1: the best guy under any circumstances. Buck. I mean, the 885 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 1: thing to remember with Barr is number one, he's done 886 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 1: this job before. Number Two, he's I think he's very scrupulous, 887 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 1: but he's smart, and he's savvy, and he knows Washington. 888 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,839 Speaker 1: And most importantly for these purposes, he knows two things 889 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: that not all attorneys general. No. I mean, first of all, 890 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,720 Speaker 1: as far as the law is concerned, he was before 891 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: he was the attorney general under the first President Bush, 892 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 1: he was the head of the Office of Legal Counsel. 893 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: Those are the lawyers, lawyers in the Justice Department who 894 00:54:55,719 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 1: make policies, the best lawyers in the government going that job. 895 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,840 Speaker 1: And secondly, before he was a prosecutor, before he was 896 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 1: a lawyer, he worked at the CIA, so he understands 897 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: the counterintelligence mission of the Justice Department. I think in 898 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,760 Speaker 1: a way that is unique among at least in recent times, 899 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: the attorney generals we've had served, and we've had a 900 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: number of very good attorneys general. I just don't think 901 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,359 Speaker 1: they've got that. Yeah, So he is. He is the man, 902 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 1: the man for this job at this time. Annie McCarthy 903 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: is the man for this interview in this topic at 904 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 1: this time though, Annie McCarthy, everybody, Fox News and Natural Review. 905 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,200 Speaker 1: Andy always illuminating, my friend. Thank you for making the 906 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 1: time for us. Thanks so much, Buck, I have a 907 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: good one, All right, team, we'll be right back. Investigation 908 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,880 Speaker 1: into the Trump campaign began on July thirty first, twenty sixteen, 909 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: after a foreign government contact at the FBI about comments 910 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: made by George Papadopolis. Is that accurate or were there 911 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: other precipitating events that helped lead to this. That is 912 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 1: the account that has been given in the past as 913 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: to how it got Cohen, you've previously said that you 914 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 1: think it's possible that the Federal Bureau of Investigation improperly 915 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,240 Speaker 1: spied on the Trump campaign. I assume that's a reference 916 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 1: to the FISA warrant for Carter Page. Is that what 917 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 1: you have in mind? Or there are other circumstances that 918 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,280 Speaker 1: you've got in mind. There many people seem to assume 919 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 1: that the only intelligence collection that occurred was a single 920 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:33,240 Speaker 1: confidential informant and a FISA warrant. I'd like to find 921 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,280 Speaker 1: out whether that is in fact true. This is the 922 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: biggest single moment, in my opinion, of the entire show 923 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: trial they put on today for the Attorney General on 924 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. But this is the most important thing that 925 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: we all need to be aware of and be prepared 926 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 1: to get some answers about. And that is what started 927 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:06,920 Speaker 1: the whole Russia collusion fiasco. What was the true origin 928 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,919 Speaker 1: of it? We had, as you who listened to the show, 929 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 1: no George Papadopolis on for an hour last week telling 930 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 1: us about his story and how this just doesn't add 931 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 1: up that they would start an FBI full field investigation 932 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 1: based upon the kind of contacts that Papadopopolis had and 933 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 1: how those contacts came to be, Who who originated them, 934 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 1: Who came up with this as an idea that should 935 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:39,439 Speaker 1: that should receive government resources and attention. You know, when 936 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 1: did all this happen? How did all this happen? And 937 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 1: that we got into this mess of the Russia collusion, 938 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 1: delusion because of Papadopolis and Carter Page, and that is 939 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 1: what the biggest media outlets in the country were feeding 940 00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: the American people. I mean, that's what we were being told. 941 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: That is absolute bullcrap. It's just bullcrap. There's no way, 942 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 1: there's no way that that alone was enough to get 943 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 1: all of this going. And there is absolutely no way 944 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 1: that the conversations that Papadopoulos was having with different individuals 945 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 1: somehow just magically made their way onto the radar of 946 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: the FBI and American intelligence services, and they really took 947 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: this as some kind of a national security threat worthy 948 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 1: of a counterintelligence investigation. It just doesn't add up. It 949 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 1: does not add up. And that's why there's such a frenzy, 950 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: an absolute frenzy to undermine the attorney General. They've got 951 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: a formidable I mean, we were just talking to Andy 952 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 1: about this. They've got a formidable opponent the left, the damns, 953 00:58:55,120 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: the anti Trump radicals, formidable opponent in Bill Barr. This 954 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:08,120 Speaker 1: guy is a legal superstar. He understands these laws better 955 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,200 Speaker 1: than all of the members of Congress. He understands the 956 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 1: dj better than all the members of Congress who were 957 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,240 Speaker 1: questioning him. Today, including the Republicans. By the way, I mean, 958 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: he's as sound and adept a legal mind as you 959 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: will find anywhere. And so what do they do what 960 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 1: the left always does, cry, whine, complain, and attack, attack, 961 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: attack attack. That's where bro Cuomo comes in. Hey, you 962 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: got a law degree. Where's bro Cuomo's law degree from? 963 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 1: You know, I got on the back of a crack 964 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 1: a jackbox Cuomo style. He said things like this about 965 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: one of the most esteemed and skilled lawyers to hold 966 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 1: the attorney general position in my lifetime. This is how 967 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 1: CNN's newest star anchor, despite their thirty percent drop in 968 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 1: ratings recently. That's right, twenty six I think was the 969 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 1: official number. Here's how bro Cuomo talks about actual legal 970 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 1: mind and not make believe legal mind Bill Barr PLI 971 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 1: clip five. But it shows that this ag has been 972 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 1: an agent for the president more than for the American 973 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 1: people or a political hack. You just want to be 974 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 1: that blunt about it, a political hack, a kinder word, 975 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: would be a mercenary for the president. You don't have 976 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: to be a lawyer to understand why William Barr got 977 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 1: this job, how he auditioned for it, how he conducted 978 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 1: himself during the hearings, and how he conducted himself at 979 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 1: the initial press conference with the letter and the second 980 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: press conference. He tried to shape the narrative. Everything that 981 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 1: we had been reporting about this letter and the ag 982 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: trying to shape the narrative has turned out to be true. 983 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Cuomo and Lemon are morons, So start with that. Also. 984 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,560 Speaker 1: I love Lemon saying a kinder word than Hack would 985 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 1: be a mercenary. I don't know if that's kinder. I 986 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 1: don't know if Lemon knows what a mercenary is, but 987 01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that that's a kinder word. But the 988 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 1: things that they're saying about about Bill Barr, No, there's 989 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 1: no meat on the bone here. They don't explain what 990 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: justifies these comments, these assessments of Barr. They just know 991 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 1: that Barr isn't going to bow to the public pressure. 992 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: That Bar doesn't care what the New York Times editorial 993 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 1: page says about him, doesn't care what the you know, 994 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 1: the network CNN and MSNBC, and you know what they're 995 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,479 Speaker 1: saying about him night after night on TV. He knows 996 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 1: what happened here. Bar is not a fool. He's been 997 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: in this game for decades. The Democrat left got caught 998 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 1: with their hands in the cookie jar. They thought they 999 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 1: could override the will of the American people with a 1000 01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: deep state media coup to get rid of Trump, and 1001 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,200 Speaker 1: it failed. And now they're bitter about it. They're angry 1002 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: about it. They don't think that this is something that 1003 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: should be allowed to stand. They want to get another shot. 1004 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 1: They want to use the Attorney General for the State 1005 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 1: of New York, or they want to use some spinoff 1006 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: investigation from Muller. If you want to talk about an 1007 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 1: agent for somebody or a partisan hack, look no further 1008 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 1: than Bob Oh He's such a saint Muller with his 1009 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't like the way that the press was reporting 1010 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: on the letter that Barr wrote about my very important 1011 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 1: report that I wrote so that Congress can impeach the president. 1012 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Mueller's a hack, Mueller's an agent for the Democrats. Muller 1013 01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: might as well be walking around with a Hillary twenty 1014 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: sixteen button on his shirt. As far as I'm concerned, 1015 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:53,959 Speaker 1: he has showed us this. He has shown us he's 1016 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,440 Speaker 1: not a man of character in this situation, that he 1017 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 1: is not a man of integrity and honor and I 1018 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: can point to why, unlike bro Cuomo and Don Lemon 1019 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 1: Monsieur Don Lemon, I can cite chapter and verse what Mueller. 1020 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: First of all, what we were just talking about. Muller 1021 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 1: doesn't make a decision, that's his job. Why didn't he 1022 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 1: make a decision because he would have lost on the 1023 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 1: merits folks, better to leave it open. You know. This 1024 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,560 Speaker 1: is like the guy that's going to try out for 1025 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 1: the varsity team and then says, oh, no, I'm not 1026 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,600 Speaker 1: going to try out, and then just goes around telling 1027 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: everybody I would have made the team, but I didn't try. 1028 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 1: That's what Mueller's doing here with impeaching, with the prosecuting 1029 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 1: the president. Well, I would have prosecuted the president, but 1030 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 1: I didn't go for it, So now he leaves it 1031 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,720 Speaker 1: to Congress. It's a slimy, underhanded tactic. Okay, that's being 1032 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 1: an agent for the other side. That's being a political hack. 1033 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: Threatening George Papadopoulos's wife, telling George Popadopoulos's wife that she 1034 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,840 Speaker 1: should leave George because what he's going to get too 1035 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 1: weeks in a minimum security country club prison for lying 1036 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: about a non crime, sending a swat team that looks 1037 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 1: like it's ready to take on, you know, the Sinaloa 1038 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 1: cartel on their home turf, sending them in to go 1039 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: get Roger Stone. They could have called Roger Stone at 1040 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 1: his home and said, hey, Roger, take off the silk pajamas, 1041 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 1: throw on a pinstripe suit. We'll see you in half 1042 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 1: an hour, please come down. Guaranteed Roger Stone would have 1043 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 1: turned himself in, no foss, no muss, It would have 1044 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 1: showed up. No serious person believes otherwise you're gonna send 1045 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,920 Speaker 1: a pre dawn raid to his home. Oh and CNN 1046 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,920 Speaker 1: just happened to be there. I wonder does Muller get 1047 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 1: a check send to him from CNN for all the 1048 01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: good work he's done for them, or does they have 1049 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 1: to wait a little bit, Let let the heat die down. 1050 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:53,560 Speaker 1: Talk about being a political hack, please, Andrew Weissman of 1051 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: the Muller team is a political hack. Genie Rie of 1052 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: the Muller Team's a political hack, and Mueller's the biggest 1053 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 1: hack of all. Go back and look at what happened 1054 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 1: at the FBI with the anthrax investigation on mother's watch, 1055 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 1: destroyed an innocent person. Mother's not a good guy, folks, 1056 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,800 Speaker 1: And we're seeing a lot of this at the very 1057 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 1: top reaches the very most important positions in the national 1058 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: security apparatus of this country, people who should not have 1059 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:31,280 Speaker 1: had the power they had. Komi Muller, McCabe, Brennan Clapper, 1060 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Sally Yates, Lauretta Lynch. These are not good people, They're 1061 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:43,959 Speaker 1: not ethical people. They were playing dirty political games, using 1062 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 1: their positions in power and really hurting people along the way. 1063 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:53,880 Speaker 1: And where is the accountability for all this? Where is 1064 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 1: any sense that this would not happen again? I can't 1065 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 1: tell you we've reached that yet, despite the fact that 1066 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: they were not able to finish off this presidency with 1067 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 1: the Muller probe, which was a disaster from the start. 1068 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: I knew it. I said it on the show. Never 1069 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:15,320 Speaker 1: should have been allowed to happen from day one. Jeff 1070 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Sessions was wrong not to fight harder on this one. 1071 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions was wrong to get steamrolled by the deep 1072 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,320 Speaker 1: state left in the media, and he did. And I 1073 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,320 Speaker 1: think Jeff's a good guy and an honest guy, but 1074 01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 1: he was not ready for this street fight and he 1075 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 1: got got. We are up against very determined political enemies 1076 01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: that do not play fair, that do not care about 1077 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 1: the rules. They have been able to use processes to 1078 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,480 Speaker 1: slow down this president, to harm this president those around him. 1079 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 1: I want payback. I want retribution and I want people 1080 01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 1: that abused government power to pay the price for the games, 1081 01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 1: the games that they thought they'd get away with. Also 1082 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,440 Speaker 1: they could help Hillary win. What a disgrace. We'll be 1083 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: right back. I got a piece that just broke that 1084 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,960 Speaker 1: I want to tell you all about, one that I'm 1085 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 1: sure is going to get a lot of attention and 1086 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: perhaps put some Democrats on edge. Nellie Or's high honey 1087 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: emails to d o J about Russia collusion should alarm 1088 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 1: us all. The author is my colleague and boss over 1089 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,960 Speaker 1: at The Hill, John Solomon, who was an investigative journalists 1090 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 1: who also is executive vice president for Digital at Hill TV, 1091 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 1: where I work on this show Morning in Rising rather 1092 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 1: in the Morning, John, thanks so much for joining. I 1093 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 1: tell us about the high honey emails you write about 1094 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 1: here on the Hill dot com. What did Nellie Or 1095 01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 1: get herself into? Yeah, this is going to be an 1096 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 1: interesting development because if you remember about eight nine months ago, 1097 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: she testified on Capitol Hill and when she was asked 1098 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 1: in her testimony, why we're working for Fusion GPS. That's 1099 01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 1: the Christopher Steele firm. That's the Hillary Clinton firm, the 1100 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: DNC firm that did all of the Russia dirt digging 1101 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, assembled it into the dossier. He just 1102 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 1: spread it around Washington and got the investigation started. While 1103 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 1: you were working for that firm, did you share any 1104 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: of your Russia research with anyone beside your husband, the 1105 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,599 Speaker 1: Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Orb, Christopher Steel or Fusion 1106 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: And she answered no. And now we have pretty clear 1107 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: evidence that she sent a total of three hundred and 1108 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,639 Speaker 1: thirty nine pages worth of email and research to DJ 1109 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,639 Speaker 1: email accounts, sometimes to her husband, other times to three 1110 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,639 Speaker 1: of his colleagues in the International Criminal Prosecution Division. So 1111 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:47,000 Speaker 1: she was spreading around things like the discovery of the 1112 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: Paul Manafort ledger in Ukraine that obviously was dirt that 1113 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 1: would stick to Manafort and Trump. She sent articles that 1114 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,839 Speaker 1: highlighted Carter Page going to Moscow and giving the famous 1115 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: speech there and then suggesting he had a connection to 1116 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,000 Speaker 1: gas problem. As you know, that became a big part 1117 01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 1: of the feisal warm. She then sent around articles about 1118 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 1: the Russian ambassador Sergey Kissiak attending in the audience that 1119 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump gave a foreign policy speech. Well, it was 1120 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: that attendance that ultimately led Jeff Sessions to have to 1121 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: recuse himself from the Russian investigation because he was in 1122 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 1: the audience and the same audience with the ambassador Kissiac. 1123 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 1: So all of this, she's using her marital privilege, her 1124 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 1: marital backdoor with Bruce Or to get this information into 1125 01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 1: the Justice Department. And I think it raises two questions. 1126 01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,799 Speaker 1: One a question of conflict of interest. Should a spouse 1127 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 1: on the payroll of a political candidate be allowed to 1128 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 1: use her husband's connections to flow information into the Justice Department? 1129 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,599 Speaker 1: And two? Did she give accurate testimony? Was that answer 1130 01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: she gave accurate in light of the emails that we found. 1131 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,120 Speaker 1: You got three hundred and thirty nine pages of emails. 1132 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,839 Speaker 1: It's a lot of stuff she was sending, very partisan, 1133 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,640 Speaker 1: very edgy, very anti Trump. And I think there are 1134 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 1: some members of Congress, Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan among them, 1135 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: that are now raising questions about the actor of her testimony. 1136 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 1: In fact, I'd keep an eye out tonight to see 1137 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,360 Speaker 1: if they make a decision on sending a referral to 1138 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 1: the Justice Department. On this matter. So Nellie or may 1139 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,600 Speaker 1: have lied under owe to Congress. Effectively, she may have 1140 01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 1: committed the crime that is. That is the concern that 1141 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,360 Speaker 1: these emails clearly raised, and she deserves the benefit of 1142 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,280 Speaker 1: doubt and ton investigations done. But when you look at 1143 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 1: the volume of what she was sending and what she 1144 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 1: was sending, it's clearly the sort of Russia research that 1145 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,720 Speaker 1: Fusion GPS was doing. In fact, she identified her her 1146 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 1: testimony very specific people she was researching to Oligarch's name, 1147 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 1: dry Posca and ronat Osmet Both of their names show 1148 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,679 Speaker 1: up in the research that was sent to the Justice Department. 1149 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 1: She talks about how she was trying to find any 1150 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,679 Speaker 1: connection between Donald Trump and organized crime, any article she found, 1151 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:59,759 Speaker 1: any think tank stuff she found that even remotely connected 1152 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 1: down Trump to Russia. It was being sent to the 1153 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,640 Speaker 1: Justice Department. So when you take her own words and 1154 01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: you're then compared to the emails, it looks like the 1155 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 1: very thing she was researching for Fusion GPS he was 1156 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,600 Speaker 1: sending to the Justice Department. And that's something that she 1157 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,679 Speaker 1: did not acknowledge in her testimony. Effects she emphatically stated 1158 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 1: no when asked if she shared it outside of Fusion GPS. 1159 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,680 Speaker 1: So I would expect people like medals in Jordan on 1160 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 1: these oversight committees to make a decision soon on whether 1161 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,600 Speaker 1: they asked the Justice Department to investigator testimony. And do 1162 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 1: we have any sense of whether these DOJ officials took 1163 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 1: specific action based on any other things she sent or 1164 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,280 Speaker 1: do we know if they responded to either other people 1165 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 1: in DJ about it or to her directly. Do we 1166 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,679 Speaker 1: just have any visibility of that yet? Great question. Well, 1167 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,559 Speaker 1: there are a series of emails that have really caught 1168 01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 1: the Congressional Investigator's attention. Keep in mind Congress didn't have 1169 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 1: access to these emails. They only came out under FOYA 1170 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago through Judicial Watch, and I 1171 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 1: think their significance is only being discovered now. But in 1172 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 1: March and April, some of the prosecutors in the Justice Department, 1173 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 1: specifically those based on my earlier reporting, who are working 1174 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,760 Speaker 1: on a very specific Russian oligarch targeting program, there was 1175 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,599 Speaker 1: an effort to recruit Russian oligarchs to find out what 1176 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 1: they knew about Pewton and what they knew about Trump 1177 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: and other other things. Those oligarcs included too that Nellie 1178 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 1: was researching Oligdara Poska and Renat ashmed it. For some reason, 1179 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,080 Speaker 1: Bruce Or's colleagues, he's the Associate Deputy Ury General, pretty 1180 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,000 Speaker 1: high ranking in the Justice Department. They asked for permission 1181 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 1: in the National Crime Division to reach out to his 1182 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: wife and get some information. And they start sending emails. 1183 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 1: You're such an expert, we want to talk to Ennis. 1184 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:45,840 Speaker 1: I think we could benefit from both of us can 1185 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 1: benefit from the contact. So there's not only Nellie Or 1186 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:53,639 Speaker 1: flowing her information or outbound to the Justice Department. At 1187 01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,600 Speaker 1: some point the Justice Department comes in and ask for 1188 01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 1: her help. Now what they asked for is highly redacted, 1189 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 1: so we can't see the full amount. But what I've 1190 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: been told from my reporting is it specifically dealt with 1191 01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,479 Speaker 1: the Russian oliguard program. So you got a Hillary Clinton 1192 01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:11,160 Speaker 1: paid researcher now working on the Justice Department on a 1193 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 1: program that has an intersection with Donald Trump. It's why 1194 01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,879 Speaker 1: those conflict alarm bells are going off in some members minds. 1195 01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,799 Speaker 1: Nellie Or's high honey emails to DJ about Russia collusion 1196 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,920 Speaker 1: should alarm us. All that is the piece. It is 1197 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,439 Speaker 1: up on the Hill dot Com right now. Also checkout 1198 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 1: Hill dot TV in the mornings. Sure you'll see not 1199 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 1: just me, but also John in the near future talking 1200 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,800 Speaker 1: about this piece. John Solomon, everybody, John, thanks so much. 1201 01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: Thanks Buck, appreciate the attention to the story team. We'll 1202 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: be back in just a moment. You are now entering 1203 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:46,639 Speaker 1: to the Freedom Hottle Operation Center. All the programs must 1204 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 1: be cavs strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared 1205 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:55,000 Speaker 1: and ready for the Buck brief. A lot of the 1206 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,759 Speaker 1: policies that we've put in plays has kind of helped 1207 01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: lead the devastation in Venezuela, and we've sort of set 1208 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 1: the stage for where we are arriving today. This particular 1209 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:17,439 Speaker 1: bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and 1210 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 1: make chee change really does not help the people of 1211 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 1: countries like Venezuela, and it certainly does not help and 1212 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:31,639 Speaker 1: it's not in the interest of the United States. Ilaan 1213 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Omar Democrat member of Congress isn't anti Semite. We know 1214 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 1: that it's not one or two statements, it's lots of statements. 1215 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,400 Speaker 1: She just takes Israel the task all the time, and 1216 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 1: by Israel, I mean the Jewish people and Democrats try 1217 01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:52,919 Speaker 1: to run cover for her because she's protected. Why she protected, 1218 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 1: She's a female, minority, Muslim, three things. You add them 1219 01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,639 Speaker 1: all together, and if you're left wing, if she a Republican, 1220 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,759 Speaker 1: by the way, she would get scorched by the media. 1221 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:10,479 Speaker 1: It wouldn't matter that she's she's African, she's Muslim, she's female, 1222 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:15,679 Speaker 1: that wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter. But because she's a Democrat, 1223 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,639 Speaker 1: then all those things become her shield, they become her protection, 1224 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,920 Speaker 1: and they are her protection for the Democrat left because 1225 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: her most important contribution to the Democrat cause is as 1226 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 1: somebody who is bringing together different victim classes that the 1227 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:38,680 Speaker 1: intersectional left will use as a club to attack other people. Right, 1228 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 1: they will bludgeon people with having ilhan Omar call them out, 1229 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:46,639 Speaker 1: say they're racists, say they're Islamophobic. You know that that's 1230 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,360 Speaker 1: they like that. They like that ability that she's going 1231 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,360 Speaker 1: to have. But the good news is I have the 1232 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:55,280 Speaker 1: ability to say that she seems like an ignor Ramist, 1233 01:15:55,880 --> 01:16:00,240 Speaker 1: not quite as as ignorant as Occasio Quartez, but in 1234 01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 1: ignoramus who's also an anti semit dident and has this 1235 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:07,559 Speaker 1: streak of anti Americanism. Well, let me just start with 1236 01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: the ignorant part of this. As the situation in Venezuela 1237 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,599 Speaker 1: continues to be very tense as we're on air tonight, 1238 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 1: and I think it's important that everyone understand that Venezuela 1239 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 1: is not really our fight. Keep saying this. We cover 1240 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,160 Speaker 1: it here because it's important enough as a news story, 1241 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 1: and it's interesting that the dynamics for Venezuela are are 1242 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 1: interesting for us to understand. Well, of course, what happens 1243 01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 1: when you have too much control of an economy in 1244 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 1: the hands of the state. And but you know, I 1245 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 1: was on Kennedy's show on Fox Business last night talking 1246 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 1: to her about what I think about Venezuela, and this 1247 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 1: is what this is just a quick review of that 1248 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 1: playlip one. Remember we're talking about a narco state here 1249 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,600 Speaker 1: as well. Some of the top officials, I mean, the 1250 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,560 Speaker 1: number three, four and five guys I believe in the 1251 01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:07,320 Speaker 1: Venezuelan government on the Maduro side are sanctioned narco traffickers 1252 01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,719 Speaker 1: by the Treasury Department. You got a bunch of cocaine 1253 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,799 Speaker 1: kingpins run around with people starving. Their money is becoming 1254 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 1: basically worthless, and now they're telling people to shoot on 1255 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,519 Speaker 1: unarmed protesters in the streets. Guess what, They're not going 1256 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,160 Speaker 1: to play an ice anytime soon. They don't care what 1257 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,160 Speaker 1: we tell them, with the international community tells them. So 1258 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,360 Speaker 1: I just think that this this just turns into force 1259 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 1: on force Kennedy, and we'll see who wins in the end. 1260 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm just hoping the US doesn't get pulled into a 1261 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 1: military situation here, because as bad as it is, it's 1262 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 1: still not our fight. It's still not our fight. And 1263 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,759 Speaker 1: people say, what happens buck if they take some Americans 1264 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: hostage or something, Well, you know, if we got to 1265 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 1: go in and save Americans, we got to go in 1266 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,760 Speaker 1: and save Americans. But that doesn't mean we go in 1267 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,600 Speaker 1: and then set up camp. Doesn't mean we go in 1268 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: and patrol the streets. Say that this is going to 1269 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 1: be a place that the United States is going to 1270 01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 1: take under it, you know, it's going to militarily intervening. 1271 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:05,080 Speaker 1: And I have to say I'm a little bit surprised 1272 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: at some of the rhetor are coming out of the 1273 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,000 Speaker 1: administration right now all this. I mean, Secretary of State 1274 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,759 Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo on this point about military action in Venezuela 1275 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: said this play three. President has been Crystal Claire and 1276 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 1: incredibly consistent. Military action is possible. If that's what's required, 1277 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,600 Speaker 1: that's what the United States will do. We're trying to 1278 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: do everything we can to avoid violence. We've asked all 1279 01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 1: the parties involved not to engage in that kind of activity. 1280 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 1: We'd prefer a peaceful transition of government there where Maduro 1281 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 1: leaves at a new election is held. But the President 1282 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,759 Speaker 1: has made claire in the event that there comes a moment, 1283 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,800 Speaker 1: and we'll all have to make decisions about when that 1284 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,760 Speaker 1: moment is, and the President will ultimately have to make 1285 01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 1: that decision. He's prepared to do that if that's what's required. 1286 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that's just a warning that's put on the table. 1287 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is like before you interrogate somebody, you know, 1288 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 1: you put the six shooter on the table and the 1289 01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 1: old cop movies and say, all right, we're gonna have 1290 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 1: a conversation here, and you're not really planning on using 1291 01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:10,600 Speaker 1: that six shooter, but you're just letting them know that 1292 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,719 Speaker 1: it's there. I think Pompeo's just letting the Venezuelan thug 1293 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,559 Speaker 1: regime of Majuro know, you guys better not try anything 1294 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 1: crazy and if that's wood he's that's where he's gonna stop, 1295 01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: then that's fine. This is the only place where I 1296 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 1: have a word where I have real a sense that 1297 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 1: there needs to be caution for administration. Other than that, 1298 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: I think they're handling Venezuela very well. That brings me 1299 01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:34,759 Speaker 1: back to ilhan Omar, who's on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. 1300 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,800 Speaker 1: So this isn't just some random number of Congress This 1301 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 1: is somebody who, at least in theory, could have a 1302 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,799 Speaker 1: powerful voice in US foreign policy. And as I mentioned, 1303 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:50,320 Speaker 1: she's both ignorant and exposes her own biases and prejudices 1304 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:53,800 Speaker 1: in a regular basis. To her comments about how Venezuela 1305 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,559 Speaker 1: is having the terrible trials and tribulations that are currently 1306 01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 1: has because of US policy, I would say to that, like, 1307 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: what what's the US put? What do the United States 1308 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 1: do to destroy the economy of a country that has 1309 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: the largest proven oil reserves in the world, which Venezuela does. 1310 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:18,520 Speaker 1: What do the US do to hyper inflate the currency 1311 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 1: of a country that until about fifteen years ago was 1312 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,320 Speaker 1: one of the wealthier South American countries per capita? And 1313 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:31,599 Speaker 1: what did we do exactly? The answer is she doesn't 1314 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 1: have an answer because she just now she's talking about 1315 01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:36,840 Speaker 1: the sanctions of things that we've put in place because 1316 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 1: Maduro is seizing power. Really, every day he's in office 1317 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,680 Speaker 1: is a seizure of power because he's not a legitimate 1318 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 1: office holder. But it's our fault. It's on us that 1319 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 1: this is the case. And this blame America first attitude, 1320 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,760 Speaker 1: which the left is, this is where you're going to 1321 01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,280 Speaker 1: find it. You find the blame America first on the 1322 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:07,680 Speaker 1: left is deeply unsettling but pervasive. They have a lot 1323 01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: of this. And then I'll just on ilhan Omar on 1324 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,720 Speaker 1: what she likes and uh and doesn't like. You know, 1325 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,000 Speaker 1: she obviously doesn't like the state of Israel, but she 1326 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:21,440 Speaker 1: also for somebody that fled real oppression and misery in 1327 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:27,720 Speaker 1: an entirely Islamic country, Somalia. She's somebody who you think 1328 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: would be have a little more gratitude about America, have 1329 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 1: a little more of a sense that, you know, this 1330 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,080 Speaker 1: country is pretty incredible and pretty special, and maybe doesn't 1331 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: We don't always need to. It's not fair, it's not wise, 1332 01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:45,479 Speaker 1: it's it's not just to always try to undermine this country. 1333 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 1: You think that maybe that would be more of her. 1334 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 1: But that's not her approach. That's not her approach. She 1335 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,120 Speaker 1: takes this left wing Chomskyite view of every problem anywhere 1336 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 1: in the world is somehow the result of US foreign 1337 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 1: policy missteps. It's it's bumbling. But this is this is 1338 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:02,639 Speaker 1: where we are. Just one other quick thing that came 1339 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:08,680 Speaker 1: up in Venezuela. Whatever happened to the people in Venezuelas 1340 01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: in their ability to fight back against the government. Why 1341 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,160 Speaker 1: is it that the military is so in military support 1342 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: for the regime. It's so very, very important. And why 1343 01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 1: aren't you seeing maduro thugs getting ambushed in the streets 1344 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,160 Speaker 1: when they open up on people with volleys of live 1345 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 1: fire as they have. Well, here's an exchange with an 1346 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 1: MSNBC report that may illuminate some of that play clip two. 1347 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 1: With the help of Russia and other outside forces, Maduro 1348 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: is hanging on, and not only hanging on, but he 1349 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,439 Speaker 1: appears to still control the military. You have to understand 1350 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,280 Speaker 1: in Venezuela, gun ownership is not something that is open 1351 01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 1: to everybody. So if the military have the guns, they 1352 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,719 Speaker 1: have the power. And as long as Nicholas Madoudo controls 1353 01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 1: the military, he controls the country. Just a reminder for 1354 01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:59,520 Speaker 1: us all the Second Amendment is in this country ultimately 1355 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 1: a check against government tyranny. That is why it exists. Yes, 1356 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 1: it also gives you the ability to defend yourself in 1357 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,240 Speaker 1: your home, but it was written into the Constitution as 1358 01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 1: a check against government tyranny. In Venezuela right now, the 1359 01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,639 Speaker 1: situation would be very different if you had an armed 1360 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: populace that could fight back. But if you have a 1361 01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 1: disarmed population, which is what is the case in Venezuela, 1362 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 1: there is no reasonable means for them to try and 1363 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 1: fight back against military rule on the streets. They're not 1364 01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:42,440 Speaker 1: just going to go out there and challenge the military 1365 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,920 Speaker 1: in street fights where one side has machine guns and 1366 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 1: the other side has rocks and bottles. That's not going 1367 01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: to work. So there is a you know, this is 1368 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 1: why that the lessons of Venezuela are important for us 1369 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 1: to understand in this country and to remember you don't 1370 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: want the government control of the entirety the economy. Social 1371 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,759 Speaker 1: justice is not a smart way to run an economy. 1372 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,559 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, when they want to take 1373 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 1: your guns, you got a problem. Don't let them. Department 1374 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:14,599 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security is looking to expand on a program 1375 01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,800 Speaker 1: that I just launched, or they will be testing DNA 1376 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:23,280 Speaker 1: at the US Mexico border to establish that these are 1377 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:28,639 Speaker 1: in fact family units that are showing up, that these 1378 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,760 Speaker 1: are not children who are being rented. As we know 1379 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 1: has happened, that has been a problem that has faced 1380 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 1: immigrations and Customs enforcement and border patrol. We know that 1381 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:44,599 Speaker 1: there have been instances of this. We know there's massive 1382 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 1: fraud occurring at the border. And now the Trump administration 1383 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,200 Speaker 1: and their efforts to try and come up with ways 1384 01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,599 Speaker 1: that within the executive and law enforcement authority they have, 1385 01:24:56,880 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 1: they're coming up with ways to at least lean up 1386 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 1: the mess that is currently our southern border, if not 1387 01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:08,920 Speaker 1: control it entirely, make it slightly less catastrophic. And here's 1388 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,519 Speaker 1: what CNAs reporting today on this. They'll start this DNA 1389 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: testing pilot program next week to help identify and prosecute 1390 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 1: individuals posing as families in an effort to target human smuggling. 1391 01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,759 Speaker 1: The rapid DNA testing, as it's known, involves a cheek 1392 01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:26,519 Speaker 1: swab and ken on average, provide results in about ninety minutes. 1393 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,160 Speaker 1: According to a senior ICE official. The pilot program will 1394 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,479 Speaker 1: run for two to three days, and this is the 1395 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:38,040 Speaker 1: Trump administration trying to crack down on this practice. No, 1396 01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 1: I think this is where you see that there will 1397 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,600 Speaker 1: be there will be challenges I think to this. I 1398 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: mean the Democrats will come up with some way to 1399 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 1: say that this is this is bad, that we should 1400 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 1: be we should not be supportive of this, we should 1401 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 1: find this unconstitutional or whatever. I mean, There'll be some 1402 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 1: crazy challenge to because ultimately Democrats do not want enforcement 1403 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 1: to get better. The results of all this, for those 1404 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:10,880 Speaker 1: of you are wondering, they've got to create some kind 1405 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:12,559 Speaker 1: of a database. No, the results of all this will 1406 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 1: be destroyed. And if there's a case where the child 1407 01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 1: is accompanied by an uncle, a grandparent, etc. Then they 1408 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 1: have to have legal documentation with them to prove that 1409 01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,719 Speaker 1: they are in fact a family unit. And they're also, 1410 01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 1: I think, going to prosecute people that try to scan 1411 01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 1: the system, which they should be doing. They should be 1412 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,560 Speaker 1: prosecuting people who try to scan the system scan the 1413 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: system because they're violating our laws. And you and I 1414 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 1: don't get to violate the laws with impunity. If you 1415 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 1: or I were to lie to federal law enforcement, we 1416 01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,759 Speaker 1: wouldn't be told, oh, well you have a good reason 1417 01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: for that lie, and we understand that things are tough 1418 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 1: right now, and so we're going to let you go. No, 1419 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: this is where the law either applies or it doesn't. 1420 01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:05,559 Speaker 1: And I think that at the at the southern border 1421 01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 1: right now, the Trump administration has had enough. They recognize 1422 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:14,160 Speaker 1: that this is a massive scam, that this needs to stop, 1423 01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 1: and they have to start putting disincentives in place. They 1424 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 1: need to disincentivize people from continuing. And even just I 1425 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,760 Speaker 1: think the value of some prosecutions for fraud at the 1426 01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 1: border will make people think twice about all the other 1427 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 1: frauds they're engaged in, lying about their age, lying about 1428 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:36,479 Speaker 1: their circumstance. You know, I've heard people who will say, 1429 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 1: in the context of the Mueller probe, for example, where 1430 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 1: any lie of any kind, even if the very very 1431 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,799 Speaker 1: small lie and doesn't really matter and there's no criminal 1432 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:48,560 Speaker 1: conduct at issue, any lie is to be treated severely. 1433 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,639 Speaker 1: You know, any lie is a huge problem. And then 1434 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 1: when I say, well, what about what's going on at 1435 01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:57,000 Speaker 1: our southern border, you know, it doesn't that make the 1436 01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,760 Speaker 1: system break down? They want to pretend that well, we 1437 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 1: can and expect people that are fleeing persecution we can't 1438 01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:07,439 Speaker 1: expect people that are coming from such difficult circumstances to 1439 01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,960 Speaker 1: tell the truth, really, and so now is there an 1440 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,559 Speaker 1: exception for my life is tough, So I'm gonna lie 1441 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 1: to federal law enforcement officials I've been told. I think 1442 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 1: we actually even had a former assistant US attorney on 1443 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:24,840 Speaker 1: this show to discuss this that if they prosecuted immigration 1444 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,880 Speaker 1: violators or people that lie at the border in order 1445 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 1: to get into this country, that is all that our 1446 01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: federal courts would be doing because their lives being told 1447 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,840 Speaker 1: all the time. So in a sense, they've they've overwhelmed 1448 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:40,920 Speaker 1: the system, including the system's ability to maintain the basic 1449 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:45,800 Speaker 1: integrity of the truth that is the very foundation of 1450 01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 1: everything that's going on. If you can lie to border patrol, 1451 01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 1: if you can lie to customs enforcement, then how can 1452 01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,760 Speaker 1: they do their jobs. If you're just really going to 1453 01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:57,599 Speaker 1: rely on them to be able to know who's telling 1454 01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 1: the truth and who's not without there being any penalty line, 1455 01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,000 Speaker 1: then the whole system starts to collapse. So this DNA 1456 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: swab issue will be helpful. This This isn't going to 1457 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 1: fix everything. That's not going to make all the problems 1458 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,040 Speaker 1: go away, but one thing that I want you to 1459 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,919 Speaker 1: keep an eye out for is there'll be some crazy 1460 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:21,040 Speaker 1: objection to this. There will be some you know group 1461 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,160 Speaker 1: that decides, you know what we are, We're going to 1462 01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 1: challenge this in court. We find this to be you know, 1463 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:33,360 Speaker 1: an unacceptable I don't know what their illegal grounds will be, 1464 01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,680 Speaker 1: but they'll they'll just say that this is, you know, discriminatory, 1465 01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 1: a disparate impact, will come up with some crazy legal 1466 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,720 Speaker 1: theory to say that this shouldn't be happening. And that 1467 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 1: just goes to my overall thesis that Democrats oppose enforcement 1468 01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:49,600 Speaker 1: of the law that can punish illegal aliens and anything 1469 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,479 Speaker 1: that will take away the magnet for illegal aliens, anything 1470 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:56,439 Speaker 1: that will make them less likely, less inclined to break 1471 01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 1: our laws and come across our southern border. Democrats oppose 1472 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 1: is a knee jerk reaction from them. They will not relent. 1473 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: They will not be partners in trying and they will 1474 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:11,880 Speaker 1: not relent on this, and they will not be our 1475 01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 1: partners in finding a way to shut down this migration issue. 1476 01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 1: They just won't do it. They because they benefit from it. 1477 01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,760 Speaker 1: As we know, they view this as as votes. You know, 1478 01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:27,520 Speaker 1: I just saw this past a couple of days, some imagery, 1479 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,639 Speaker 1: some photos of hundreds of people crossing, hundreds of people 1480 01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,719 Speaker 1: crossing at a time. This is happening every day, my friends. 1481 01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,400 Speaker 1: This problem continues on and really gets worse because the 1482 01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:41,000 Speaker 1: larger the number of people through any one part of 1483 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:44,160 Speaker 1: the immigration system, the larger the number that get into 1484 01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,880 Speaker 1: the country, the bigger the prize, so to speak, politically, 1485 01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:53,960 Speaker 1: the bigger the prize for those who will push for amnesty. 1486 01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:59,120 Speaker 1: So for Democrat purposes, that's the single that's everything. This 1487 01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:01,559 Speaker 1: means that they will be in power, and that's why 1488 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 1: they're willing to throw the rest of immigration system under 1489 01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the bus, because ultimately they think they'll sort it out 1490 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 1: once they destroy the Republican Party. Immigration is a means 1491 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,840 Speaker 1: to destroy the Republican Party. That's why Democrats love it 1492 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,280 Speaker 1: so illegal immigration, that's why they love it so much. 1493 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:20,280 Speaker 1: And that's also why the urgency from the Trump administration 1494 01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:23,680 Speaker 1: is so necessary. I'm glad that they see this for 1495 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 1: what it is now. I wish that there had been 1496 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 1: a greater focus on this earlier on in Trump's term. 1497 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna just skip over that. But the president's 1498 01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:33,800 Speaker 1: doing what he can now. Is it too late? I 1499 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:36,040 Speaker 1: don't know. My friends will keep covering it here. I 1500 01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,599 Speaker 1: don't know if it's too late. Sovereignty is eroding every day. 1501 01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:45,479 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated now has a model in a burkini? Can 1502 01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 1: the swimsuit issue truly get woke? That is the piece 1503 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:55,120 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post here about the first ever Sports 1504 01:31:55,160 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 1: Illustrated Swimsuit issue with a burkini in it. And let 1505 01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 1: me just say that, you know, this is I might 1506 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,920 Speaker 1: get myself into little trouble here, but that's okay. A 1507 01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 1: burkini is a version of a bikini that is covering 1508 01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,400 Speaker 1: a woman's skin all the way up to her wrists 1509 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:21,360 Speaker 1: and down to her ankles. It is somewhat form fitted, 1510 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 1: but you also often wear some kind of a shawl 1511 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:28,799 Speaker 1: or something on top of it. So look, it's not sexy, okay, 1512 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:32,280 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry. I know that we're supposed to say, oh, 1513 01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:36,639 Speaker 1: all cultures have the same have the same good things, 1514 01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:40,160 Speaker 1: and that's the same degree of worthy attributes and the 1515 01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:43,559 Speaker 1: same kinds of drawbacks. It's just not true. It's just 1516 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:48,719 Speaker 1: not true. The bikini is a wonderful invention of modern 1517 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,080 Speaker 1: times and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, which I don't 1518 01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 1: think people particularly care or talk about it anymore. But 1519 01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,240 Speaker 1: there was a time, you know, when I was growing 1520 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 1: up in the nineties, man, the swimsuit issue came out 1521 01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 1: and people love and by people, I mean all my 1522 01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,200 Speaker 1: high school friends in me. We thought it was amazing. 1523 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 1: The celebration of female beauty is something that I think 1524 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:13,160 Speaker 1: our society shouldn't shy away from. And I also think 1525 01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,519 Speaker 1: that if we're going to live in a country where 1526 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: we have free speech as well as the melting pot 1527 01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,920 Speaker 1: approach that we're supposed to have to new cultures and 1528 01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,000 Speaker 1: immigrants and everything else, then we got to say things 1529 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,960 Speaker 1: like I'm just not okay with them. Barkini. Now when 1530 01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 1: I say I'm not okay with it, if someone wants 1531 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,000 Speaker 1: to wear it, that's their call. I don't you know. 1532 01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:36,599 Speaker 1: People can dress however they want to dress. I just 1533 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,280 Speaker 1: am not going to be made to celebrate what I 1534 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:41,920 Speaker 1: think looks ridiculous on a beach, which is a woman 1535 01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:46,080 Speaker 1: wearing coverage from her neck all the way down to 1536 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,559 Speaker 1: her feet like she's in some kind of a wetsuit, 1537 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,840 Speaker 1: and being told look and wet suits are necessary for things, right, 1538 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm but and being told that it's this is sexy 1539 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:59,040 Speaker 1: that this is. This is similar to Kathy Ireland back 1540 01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:01,679 Speaker 1: in the day in the nine Remember that Kathy Island. Guys, 1541 01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:03,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, Uh, you know, in 1542 01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:07,680 Speaker 1: a sports illustrated spread in a bikini. No, this is 1543 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:12,960 Speaker 1: not sexy. And and also the whole Islamic covering of 1544 01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:16,599 Speaker 1: women is not based in liberation. The leftists all try 1545 01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:20,519 Speaker 1: to contort reality here because they really really don't want 1546 01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:24,000 Speaker 1: to be seen as as critical of Islam. They really 1547 01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:29,160 Speaker 1: don't want to be seen as as ever being unfavorable 1548 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 1: to what they view as a non white religion of 1549 01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:34,000 Speaker 1: oppressed people, even though Islam is soon to be the 1550 01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,840 Speaker 1: biggest religion in the world based on current trends. So 1551 01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,400 Speaker 1: it's not an oppressed faith, it's not a faith tradition 1552 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:42,960 Speaker 1: that is cringing in fear and corners of the world. 1553 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,479 Speaker 1: In fact, Islam tends to make other religions cringing fear 1554 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 1: if we're going to talk about religious conflict. But that's 1555 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:53,640 Speaker 1: perhaps conversation for another time. But the whole notion of 1556 01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:59,040 Speaker 1: Islamic covering of women has to do with the oppression 1557 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 1: of women and all also this idea that women who 1558 01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:07,719 Speaker 1: allow themselves to be shown in public and to express 1559 01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:11,400 Speaker 1: their femininity and their beauty invite bad things to happen 1560 01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,479 Speaker 1: to them from men. This is true, and Islamic societies 1561 01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:17,240 Speaker 1: all throughout the Middle East that men can't be expected 1562 01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,240 Speaker 1: to behave themselves and not do terrible things if women 1563 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,360 Speaker 1: are going to walk around in a short skirt or 1564 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 1: this is this is commonplace teaching. Many moms, and people 1565 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:28,960 Speaker 1: make all kinds of excuses for this than everything else. 1566 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:32,960 Speaker 1: But if you're looking for the motherload of oppression of 1567 01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:36,360 Speaker 1: women in motherload's a good term. I guess a motherload 1568 01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,240 Speaker 1: of oppression of women in any part of the world, 1569 01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 1: Islam is number one by far. And this idea that 1570 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:47,760 Speaker 1: we're going to celebrate the burkini as somehow equivalent to 1571 01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 1: the bikini, no, I'm not going to play this game. 1572 01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,640 Speaker 1: I opt out of this. It's not sexy, it's not exciting, 1573 01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,720 Speaker 1: it's not stylish, and I think that to borrow from 1574 01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,840 Speaker 1: a Oriana Falacci on this one, I don't like it 1575 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,680 Speaker 1: when people tell me that anyone has to wear a 1576 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 1: medieval rag or else. And that's true of the hijab 1577 01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:11,920 Speaker 1: in many cases, and it's certainly true of the Barkinian 1578 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 1: plenty of places. Hey, team Buck, it's time for roll call. 1579 01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 1: Does anybody have a recommendation for a really good Spotify 1580 01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,080 Speaker 1: workout playlist? I've been listening to the same workout music 1581 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:48,400 Speaker 1: way too much lately because I've actually been reasonably consistent 1582 01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,800 Speaker 1: about getting the gym. So if you have a good 1583 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,679 Speaker 1: Spotify send me a link to your Spotify workout playlist 1584 01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:56,559 Speaker 1: on Facebook. Those of you who don't know what Spotify is, 1585 01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:00,160 Speaker 1: think of it like what people used to do with 1586 01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:03,240 Speaker 1: CDs now they do with an app. I don't know. 1587 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:04,920 Speaker 1: I used to make fun of Spotify, and then I 1588 01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:06,799 Speaker 1: started using it, and then I found it was pretty 1589 01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:13,840 Speaker 1: pretty handy. Facebook dot Com slash Buck Sexton for all 1590 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 1: of your roll call needs, And with that, I say 1591 01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:22,679 Speaker 1: we just get right to it. Philip Rights Shields time Buck, 1592 01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 1: Time for a buck deep dive into Venezuela. I heard 1593 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:29,559 Speaker 1: your guests from Heritage last night, Duck your question about 1594 01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:34,040 Speaker 1: US military intervention. Tucker's Republican guests last night all but 1595 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:37,639 Speaker 1: advocated our intervention, and with John Bolton advising the President, 1596 01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm very concerned that once again we will add to 1597 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:43,160 Speaker 1: our long list of military interventionist failures abroad. In the 1598 01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:46,559 Speaker 1: name of doing something. We don't even know who Juan 1599 01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,920 Speaker 1: Guido is or what his policies will bring. Bring us 1600 01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,519 Speaker 1: a deep dive on the issue, Philip, I like the 1601 01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:55,719 Speaker 1: idea of a deep dive on it. Let me say 1602 01:37:56,160 --> 01:38:00,120 Speaker 1: this as to where I think this all goes. The 1603 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:04,800 Speaker 1: more likely scenario, in my mind, than an intervention upfront, 1604 01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 1: meaning now, would be an intervention after the fact of 1605 01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:11,120 Speaker 1: some kind. We would rather just see if Guido can 1606 01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,720 Speaker 1: win this on his own, although we are giving some 1607 01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:20,759 Speaker 1: assistance and help. I think that the call for US 1608 01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:24,479 Speaker 1: action will get louder if, in fact Maduro wins, which 1609 01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:30,120 Speaker 1: is a very real possibility. So in terms of US 1610 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:34,120 Speaker 1: military intervention, we shouldn't do it. It's not our fight, 1611 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:38,160 Speaker 1: it's not our problem. And I hope that there's not 1612 01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:43,120 Speaker 1: a hawkishness that wins the day in this White House, 1613 01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:45,360 Speaker 1: because I know that some of the advisors around Trump 1614 01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:52,200 Speaker 1: are very pro US intervention. As a general matter, they're 1615 01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,719 Speaker 1: pro US intervention. I do think that this situation venezue 1616 01:38:55,800 --> 01:39:01,439 Speaker 1: Venezuela illustrates, however, that just because we don't intervene doesn't 1617 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:03,680 Speaker 1: mean that nobody intervenes. In fact, it is often the 1618 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,000 Speaker 1: case that, or let me step back, The absence of 1619 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:13,000 Speaker 1: US intervention in a foreign country is not like It's 1620 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:17,559 Speaker 1: not like there's a ban on other countries intervening too. 1621 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 1: We seem to think that foreign policy that the US 1622 01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:24,160 Speaker 1: does not, even when the US does not engage in 1623 01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:28,200 Speaker 1: a certain foreign policy act, that other countries won't have 1624 01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,880 Speaker 1: the same kind of impetus, the same decision making processes. 1625 01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:35,080 Speaker 1: And it is often true that where the US does 1626 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:39,599 Speaker 1: not intervene, there is a foreign power vacuum that will 1627 01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 1: be filled by someone else. So that's something that I 1628 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,360 Speaker 1: think we all need to remember. The absence of US 1629 01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:50,800 Speaker 1: intervention is not sovereignty respected. For whatever the situation is, 1630 01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:55,960 Speaker 1: the absence of US intervention often turns into Chinese Russia. 1631 01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean the US should intervene all the time. 1632 01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:01,360 Speaker 1: It just means we should be aware of that. Adam 1633 01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 1: writes Buck. When it comes to the elites, why can 1634 01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:08,559 Speaker 1: we not exploit the not in my backyard, every human 1635 01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:11,000 Speaker 1: being has and forced them to live with the policies 1636 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,840 Speaker 1: they push. When it's close to home, they will change 1637 01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:18,080 Speaker 1: their tune shields high, Adam, I agree with you in principle. 1638 01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:22,200 Speaker 1: I just don't know how we would execute this plan 1639 01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:27,320 Speaker 1: in fact. So yeah, I think that at any time 1640 01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:31,920 Speaker 1: that somebody's advocating something that they themselves would reject, they 1641 01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:36,120 Speaker 1: would not accept living under the rules that they're pushing 1642 01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,160 Speaker 1: for the rest of us, or they don't take action 1643 01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:42,960 Speaker 1: that is commensurate with the degree of fervor that they're 1644 01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 1: pushing the plans and all the rest of us. But 1645 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:47,280 Speaker 1: climate change is a great example of this, but there 1646 01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:50,760 Speaker 1: are many others as well that should be an indicator, 1647 01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:54,680 Speaker 1: that should be a red flag to you. I you know, 1648 01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 1: here's something that and I'm not trying to get into 1649 01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:00,280 Speaker 1: the vax discussion. I know there's a lot of news 1650 01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:02,920 Speaker 1: coverage right now because of the outbreaks of measles across 1651 01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,479 Speaker 1: the country, but I would say this one of the 1652 01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,800 Speaker 1: reasons why because people say, well, Buck, you don't you 1653 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:12,200 Speaker 1: don't just take scientific consensus on climate change as fact, 1654 01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:16,240 Speaker 1: but you do take that as fact on the overwhelming 1655 01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:20,559 Speaker 1: safety and usefulness of the primary vaccines that we're all 1656 01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:25,400 Speaker 1: recommended to take and be given as children. And I say, well, yes, 1657 01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:27,800 Speaker 1: but everyone that's ever And I'm just saying this to 1658 01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,680 Speaker 1: illustrate the point about consistency. So I'm not trying to 1659 01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,800 Speaker 1: get into a whole vaccination discussion here, so you can 1660 01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:38,040 Speaker 1: please please don't send me vacstruth dot net slash. I 1661 01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:42,280 Speaker 1: get it. It's fine, thanks, I've got it covered. But 1662 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:47,439 Speaker 1: the truth is that the people that are advocating for 1663 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:53,080 Speaker 1: vaccination as the standard, they have been vaccinated, they get 1664 01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,080 Speaker 1: their kids vaccinated. They put their money where their mouth is. 1665 01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,280 Speaker 1: And that's a very different thing than what you see 1666 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:02,559 Speaker 1: with the climate change crowd, where they're telling all of us, 1667 01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, don't don't fly in any kind of aircraft, 1668 01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,479 Speaker 1: and they're flying private. You know, they're telling all of 1669 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,720 Speaker 1: us keep your carbon footprints small. But their house is 1670 01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 1: twenty times the energy usage of a normal house and 1671 01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:17,439 Speaker 1: they don't. And they say the world's going to end 1672 01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:21,080 Speaker 1: unless we stop this. So that that hypocrisy is very 1673 01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 1: instructive and it's something that nobody should should just gloss 1674 01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:29,439 Speaker 1: over or ignore. Michael writes Buck. So now the left 1675 01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,640 Speaker 1: calls one crazy racist in Pittsburgh the neo Nazis in Pittsburgh. 1676 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:37,200 Speaker 1: It's a subtle change, but it makes a big difference, 1677 01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, Michael, I see, I see this time and 1678 01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 1: again where one of the favorite tactics of the left is, 1679 01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:47,280 Speaker 1: or really of the mainstream media acting on behalf of 1680 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:51,280 Speaker 1: the left, is when they claim that a single incident 1681 01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,200 Speaker 1: or a single individual is representative of a larger hole, 1682 01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:59,920 Speaker 1: and when they choose to actively exaggerate the threat or 1683 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:03,200 Speaker 1: the degree of support for and I mean this whole, 1684 01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:06,920 Speaker 1: this white nationalist scourge that we keep hearing about. I mean, 1685 01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 1: this is like five hundred guys spread out across the 1686 01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:14,599 Speaker 1: country who are losers. There's there is no white nationalist scourge. 1687 01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,679 Speaker 1: There is no white nationalist uprising that's waiting to happen. 1688 01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:21,840 Speaker 1: White nationalist terror is not what's keeping people in law 1689 01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:24,439 Speaker 1: enforcement up at night. I mean, I'll tell you this. 1690 01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:27,080 Speaker 1: And I just have this conversation recently with a friend 1691 01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:30,640 Speaker 1: of mine who's still on the he's still on the 1692 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:34,200 Speaker 1: Intel side, he's the he's on the DHS side, I 1693 01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 1: can tell you that. And he was very um disconcerted 1694 01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:48,240 Speaker 1: by the internal bureaucratic frenzy for analysis, papers and information 1695 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:53,599 Speaker 1: on the white nationalist terror threat. And this is becoming 1696 01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:57,120 Speaker 1: a something that within the government. Now you're you're hearing 1697 01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:01,720 Speaker 1: from all different to all different parts of the you know, 1698 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,560 Speaker 1: intel community, and at least the ones that deal domestically 1699 01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:06,479 Speaker 1: that we all have to be worried about white nationalism. 1700 01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:10,240 Speaker 1: He just says that there's obviously a politically motivated appetite 1701 01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:14,320 Speaker 1: for this right now, and Democrats want to just create 1702 01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:16,920 Speaker 1: as much that the idea of being you create as 1703 01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,920 Speaker 1: many think papers as possible on a very limited white 1704 01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,840 Speaker 1: nationalist pool, a very very minimal white nationalist threat in 1705 01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:26,720 Speaker 1: this country. And then you say, but look at all 1706 01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,120 Speaker 1: these papers on white nationalism. This must be a really 1707 01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:32,000 Speaker 1: big deal. You know. This is like stocking the pond 1708 01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:34,160 Speaker 1: with fish and then saying, WHOA, where'd all these fish 1709 01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:35,679 Speaker 1: come from. There's a lot of fish in this pond. 1710 01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,640 Speaker 1: Must be more, you know. That's what they're doing with 1711 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:45,679 Speaker 1: white nationalist analysis. And there are no comparisons that anybody 1712 01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:50,280 Speaker 1: should really draw between the Islamic jihattiest threat and white nationalists. 1713 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,639 Speaker 1: There are no white nationalist states, there are no major 1714 01:44:53,720 --> 01:45:00,719 Speaker 1: transnational white nationalist terror organizations. There is not a fifteen 1715 01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:07,879 Speaker 1: hundred year history of white nationalist ideological, ideologically based violence. 1716 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this is all. This is all just the 1717 01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:15,320 Speaker 1: media trying to create a boogeyman that they're comfortable opposing 1718 01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:19,880 Speaker 1: because some of the other boogie men issues out there 1719 01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 1: the media doesn't want to talk about. I mean, they 1720 01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:26,200 Speaker 1: always find that in a radical Islam is something that 1721 01:45:28,240 --> 01:45:32,320 Speaker 1: they want to downplay. Russia they've overplayed, They've made people 1722 01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:35,280 Speaker 1: terrified about Russia, even though Russia is not nearly the 1723 01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:39,240 Speaker 1: national security challenge and threat that they pretend it is. 1724 01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:43,880 Speaker 1: And they've as a result, largely underplayed the threat from China, 1725 01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:47,799 Speaker 1: which is are no question, our biggest national security challenge, 1726 01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:53,120 Speaker 1: the biggest economic challenge, all the above. Let's see here, 1727 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 1: Joe sah Right, buck, it's time to remind the libtards 1728 01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:02,000 Speaker 1: in NYC, in New York State about how petty these 1729 01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:05,519 Speaker 1: sobs are with their hatred of President Trump. We all 1730 01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:08,120 Speaker 1: cried and prayed for the thousands killed and injured in 1731 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,240 Speaker 1: New York City on nine eleven, two thousand and one. 1732 01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:14,479 Speaker 1: We contribute to the nine to eleven Fund. Perhaps the 1733 01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:18,240 Speaker 1: next time the liberals get hit will just kick back 1734 01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:22,760 Speaker 1: and think, well, you reap what you sow. We will 1735 01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:26,240 Speaker 1: never set foot in New York State again. Joseph, Joseph, 1736 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, look, I think I'm picking up that you're 1737 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:32,280 Speaker 1: very angry about what they're doing to Trump in New 1738 01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:34,759 Speaker 1: York State. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't connect these things 1739 01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:38,640 Speaker 1: to nine to eleven and the sense of unity we 1740 01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:40,320 Speaker 1: had after that about I think I know what you're 1741 01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:43,920 Speaker 1: trying to say, but I'm I wouldn't draw the same 1742 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 1: kinds of comparisons, Keith Rights. How can Trump be an 1743 01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:54,720 Speaker 1: anti Semite when he stood up for Israel every time? Keith, 1744 01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:57,639 Speaker 1: That's a very good point, isn't it. Son in laws, 1745 01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:00,280 Speaker 1: son of laws, and Jew, daughters of Jew stand up 1746 01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:03,200 Speaker 1: for Israel, close friends with Net and Yahoo. He's an 1747 01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:08,559 Speaker 1: anti semit h. That's weird, isn't it? Very very weird? 1748 01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:15,559 Speaker 1: Ryan Rights? Hey, buddy Genghis Khan apologist in the house 1749 01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:19,800 Speaker 1: watch out ever talk to a Mongolian. Their perspective on 1750 01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:23,519 Speaker 1: Genghis is fascinating. Not only do their chests swell with pride, 1751 01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:27,120 Speaker 1: they credit him with their current democratic traditions. They'll point 1752 01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:29,799 Speaker 1: out that Genghis signed a rough equivalent of the Magna 1753 01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:34,439 Speaker 1: Carta nine years before King John. He outlined four basic 1754 01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:37,639 Speaker 1: democratic principles such as equality under the law, religious tolerance, 1755 01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:41,200 Speaker 1: and representation through things like the Wise Men's Counsel. Maybe 1756 01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm going native on Mongolian civic websites, but I think 1757 01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:47,200 Speaker 1: it's interesting the Mongolians love democracy and perceived Genghis Khan 1758 01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:48,760 Speaker 1: as a founding father of all that. Who are we 1759 01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,200 Speaker 1: to complain? I bet I could make a lefty's brain 1760 01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:54,960 Speaker 1: explode with this kind of nuance. Ryan. There are Genghis 1761 01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:58,120 Speaker 1: Khan revisionists and even apologists out there, and they look 1762 01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:03,240 Speaker 1: Gega with Geanghas did was incredible. What Genghis did was 1763 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:08,240 Speaker 1: create the most dominant military machine in its time, really 1764 01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:12,280 Speaker 1: of all time, and change human history in ways that 1765 01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 1: I think we in the West are still very limited 1766 01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:20,320 Speaker 1: in the education we get on this. You know, if 1767 01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:22,719 Speaker 1: you're if you've got a carpet in your home somewhere, 1768 01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:24,840 Speaker 1: if you've got which I'm sure a lot of you do, 1769 01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:27,640 Speaker 1: if you ever use the post office, if these are 1770 01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:31,320 Speaker 1: all things that you can credit to the Mongols, yep, 1771 01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:33,960 Speaker 1: the spread of these things and the usage of these 1772 01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:39,160 Speaker 1: things among many many other traditions and inventions. Team, that's 1773 01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:40,960 Speaker 1: going to be it for today's show. I hope you 1774 01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:43,479 Speaker 1: thought it was as fantastic as I did. Excited to 1775 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:46,160 Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow. As always, no matter what comes 1776 01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:47,879 Speaker 1: our way, shields high
